Ma Dai bowed and spoke quickly.
"Brother Dai, we are family, so just speak frankly."
Ma Chao looked at Ma Dai and said very cheerfully.
"Brother, our army is in a very bad situation right now."
"Brother, you can certainly handle Han Sui's army."
"But what if Han Sui allies with Dong Zhuo?"
Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao and expressed his concerns truthfully.
He did not forget how Ma Teng was injured.
The messenger was holding the Seven-Star Knife. How could such a treasure that could cut through iron like mud easily fall into the hands of a soldier?
Obviously, this was premeditated and someone wanted to kill Ma Teng.
Many people knew that the Seven-Star Sword was in Dong Zhuo's hands.
Putting all the things together, the answer is obvious.
Compared to the irritable Ma Chao, Ma Dai is obviously more clever.
"Dong...Dong the thief has been beaten so badly by us, how can he still have troops?"
Ma Chao asked doubtfully.
"Brother, don't forget the fire in the Yizhou military camp the night before yesterday."
"I could see the fire in the enemy camp from more than ten miles away."
Ma Dai explained anxiously.
He was really afraid that Ma Chao would get carried away and start a fight with Han Sui.
Regardless of whether they win or lose, the final result will be that both Han and Ma will suffer losses.
By then, in such a chaotic place as Xiliang, the forces of all parties will inevitably be reshuffled.
If not for yourself, you should at least think about the Ma family.
"What should we do?"
Ma Chao frowned. He really couldn't think of any solution.
"Young Master, I...I have an immature idea."
Pound, who was listening in amazement, said with some hesitation.
"explain."
Upon hearing this, Ma Chao spoke immediately.
"The traitor Han married Dong Zhuo with his daughter, so my lord also has a daughter."
"If he can ally with Dong Zhuo, so can we."
Pound stared and said loudly.
"..."
"Wonderful!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that what Pang De said made sense.
"See, I told you I'm still smart."
"That Miss Yunlu is the most beautiful girl in Xiliang."
"Isn't she much better than Han Sui's daughter?"
Hearing everyone's approval, Pang De became more excited and raised his voice a little louder.
"Um... Lingming, Sister Yunlu is still one year away from coming of age. Isn't she a little young?"
Ma Dai on the side said with a helpless smile.
“Not small!”
"Definitely not small."
"You're only a year younger. It's already late autumn, and the Chinese New Year is only two or three months away."
"Isn't this enough?"
Pound counted on his fingers, clapped his hands and said excitedly after figuring it out.
"Wonderful!"
"You're wonderful."
Matthew gave Pound a thumbs up and nodded in agreement.
"I have to say, Ling Ming... is quite quick-witted."
Ma Chao was obviously persuaded by Pang De.
This is simply my own think tank!
The most critical issue now is to break the deadlock.
If Han Sui, Dong Zhuo and Yizhou were to unite, the Ma family would really have no way to cope with it.
escape?
Stop it.
The army's food and fodder were supplied by Yizhou.
Where can they escape to?
The army will probably run out of food if it moves out of camp for five or six days.
Besides, Han Sui is not a fool.
If they really dared to break camp and withdraw, Han Sui would surely follow slowly from behind.
Wait until they are out of food and their morale is unstable, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.
As for why Han Sui had food.
Although Ma Chao and his men knew that the Yizhou military camp had been robbed by Dong Zhuo, they did not know that the food supply route had also been cut off.
As for the food supply route, the Yizhou army would not tell them the specific route.
Alliance does not mean sharing what we have.
A group of allies bound together by interests all have their own ulterior motives.
Just like Ma Teng would not tell the Yizhou army exactly how many soldiers, arrows, and armor they had.
"Now that the decision has been made, we need an envoy to go to Mei County."
"It's true that when two armies are fighting, envoys are not killed, but it is also dangerous."
Ma Chao looked at everyone and felt a little undecided for a moment.
Ma Xiu and Ma Dai are relatives.
Although Pang De was an outsider, he was also a fierce general in the army. The Ma family was already short of talents and could not bear to let him take risks.
"Since this matter was proposed by me, I will go."
Seeing that no one spoke, Pang De spoke decisively.
"Lingming...if you can come back, I would like to become your brother!"
Ma Chao was quite moved. He stood up, walked to Pang De, took his hand and said.
"Little Lord!"
"Ling Ming!"
"wait me back!"
Pang De was deeply moved. He shook Ma Chao's hand tightly and quickly left the military tent.
"Why didn't you speak just now?"
Seeing that Pang De had left, Ma Chao looked at the two brothers with some displeasure.
"Uh... I'm still young, and I'm afraid I'll mess it up."
Ma Dai pursed his lips and defended himself.
"I'm younger."
Seeing that this trick worked, Matthew immediately spread his hands.
"You two!"
"Humph!"
Ma Chao's eyes twitched slightly, and he snorted in annoyance.
