Ma Chao has rebelled, and now the life and death of his two sons depend on Son of Heaven's thoughts. Just one sentence can kill them.
He had to feel afraid.
Liu Xie saw the anxiety and uneasiness in Ma Teng's heart and said, "I called you here today because I have something to ask you."
"You have communicated with Ma Chao before and persuaded him Surrender Imperial Court. How did he reply to you?"
Facing Liu Xie's inquiry, Ma Teng replied with a complicated expression, "Replying to Your Majesty, that scoundrel claimed in the letter that Your Majesty was being held hostage by Wen Gongyu Yuan Minister of Works, so he refused to surrender."
"It is the son's fault for not teaching his father, and it is hard for me to absolve myself of the blame for raising such an unfaithful and unfilial son."
"But please Your Majesty forgive the lives of my two remaining sons and leave a trace of my blood for me Ma Family. I am willing to die to apologize!"
Ma Teng's voice was deep and painful, with a hint of choking.
The three of them, father and son, entered Ye City as hostages, but Ma Chao openly rebelled, clearly abandoning their lives.
Ma Teng regretted deeply why he left Ma Chao to lead Western Liang Army, which resulted in the current situation.
What he wants now is to exchange his own life for the survival of his two remaining sons, or even just one of them, so that Ma Family will not be extinct.
Seeing Ma Teng crying bitterly, Liu Xie knew that the time was almost up, and said, "Yesterday, Court Officials, the DPRK, sent a letter to send troops to attack Ma Chao and kill Rebel."
"But I don't want to see my Great Han's Soldierss bleeding and fighting on Battlefield, so I plan to give Ma Chao a chance."
"I want to send Emissary to Offer Surrender Terms with my will. You go with Emissary; if he is willing to surrender, I can absolve him of all sins."
Liu Xie plans to ask Ma Teng to follow Emissary to persuade him to surrender.
And this is also well thought out.
Ma Teng's prestige among the Western Liang Army is definitely much higher than that of Ma Chao. Asking him to go there in person to persuade him to surrender might have unexpected results.
As for whether Ma Teng will take the opportunity to leave and never come back, this is not among Liu Xie's considerations, or he doesn't care.
Because the role of protons is to make people turn against rats.
When a proton loses its value as a proton, it doesn't matter whether it lives or dies, since it can't act as a threat anyway.
Even if Ma Teng is killed, Ma Chao probably won't care.
So Liu Xie planned to ask Ma Teng to go there in person to persuade him to surrender and see what decision Ma Chao would make when facing his father.
"Omi... go there in person?"
Ma Teng was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that Son of Heaven would ask him to go in person to persuade him to surrender.
Aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to escape?
Liu Xie smiled lightly and said, "Although Ma Chao is rebellious, he might just be confused for a moment. If Aiqing personally persuades him to surrender, he might change his mind."
"Why, is it possible that Aiqing doesn't want to go?"
Ma Teng was greatly surprised and immediately knelt down and kowtowed. "I am willing to go! If this evil son refuses Surrender, I will personally chop off his head!"
He was extremely excited. As long as he could return to the Western Liang Army, what kind of trouble could that evil boy create?
While he was excited, he had to admire Son of Heaven's courage, daring to let him go as a lobbyist, without worrying that he would escape.
Liu Xie smiled warmly and said, "Then I will just wait for the good news."
Ma Teng After hearing this, he kowtowed repeatedly and withdrew with great joy and gratitude.
After summoning Ma Teng, Liu Xie sent someone to summon Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, and Huang Zhong. He had other things to give instructions.
Soon the three of them walked into Xuan Room.
"See Your Majesty!"
The three of them saluted one after another.
Liu Xie's eyes swept over the three of them, landing first on Lü Bu, and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for a while, and Duke Wen looks better and better."
Lü Bu has a ruddy complexion and bright eyes. He looks energetic and his whole body seems to be full of energy.
"Thank you Your Majesty Hongfu."
Lü Bu laughed and said, "Goguryeo Ginseng was given to me by Your Majesty earlier. I ate it and found it very useful."
"Nowadays I always feel like I have endless energy!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong on the side twitched their mouths slightly and rolled their eyes in their hearts.
Did you take supplements?
Clearly happy!
Ever since she found out that Lü Lingqi was pregnant with Dragon Heir, Lü Bu felt as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
Not only did he change his previous behavior of procrastinating and indulging in drinking and sex, but he also devoted himself to training Military Camp all day long, as if he was a new person.
The level of diligence is not much worse than that of hanging beams on the head and thorns on the buttocks.
Liu Xie Although he knew it well, he did not criticize it and said with a smile, "Then I will send someone to give you a few more sticks later."
"Everyone, please sit down. I have something important to discuss with you."
After hearing this, the three of them found their seats and sat down.
Liu Xie continued, "Yi Province sent back news yesterday that Liu Bei has recovered the entire territory of Yi Province."
"After discussions between me and Guo Censor-in-Chief, Minister Zhuge, we decided to unite Liu Bei's troops in Yi Province to attack Ma Chao and recapture Chang'an soon."
When they heard that there was a battle to be fought, the three of them immediately became energetic.
Lü Bu immediately volunteered and said, "Your Majesty! In this crusade against Ma Chao, I must let you lead the troops. I will teach you Ma Chao how powerful I am!"
Now that his daughter is pregnant with his Grandson, he must kill all these Rebels before Grandson is born, and give Grandson a unified and stable Great Han country!
"I am willing to lead the army!"
"I am willing to fight against thieves!"
Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong also asked for a fight.
No one wants to miss this battle!
However, Liu Xie shook his head and said, "I called you here today not to discuss who will lead the army."
"Before the crusade against Ma Chao, I will send Emissary to Offer Surrender Terms; if he is willing to Surrender, he will be exempted from the war."
"If he refuses to surrender, we will send troops to attack him."
Zhang Liao heard this and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Chao This thief can even waste the lives of his father and brothers, so he will not surrender easily."
"Now the number of soldiers and horses in the army has expanded to One Hundred Thousand. If we combine the soldiers and horses of Yi Province, it will not be a problem to destroy them!"
Zhang Liao is a staunch militant.
In his opinion, for Rebel who is as unfaithful and unfilial as Ma Chao, let's not talk about Offer Surrender Terms, but just fight with swords on Battlefield to see whose army is stronger.
"It's not that simple."
Liu Xie said with a slightly solemn expression, "Western Liang Army of Ma Chao has good combat effectiveness, and most of them are composed of Qiang, and most of them are Cavalry."
"The reason why I want Offer Surrender Terms is because I am afraid of the Western Liang Army's strength; however, whether Ma Chao is Surrender or not is still unknown. We must be prepared for the worst in everything, so I want to build an army specifically to deal with Cavalry."
"This is also the purpose why I asked you three to come here today."
Hearing this, Lü Bu and the three of them looked at each other in shock.
I was a little confused for a while.
Build an army against Cavalry?
Huang Zhong asked with some hesitation, "Although I have been in the army for many years, I have never heard of an army dedicated to dealing with Cavalry... Please Your Majesty please clarify."
Cavalry is the king of Battlefield.
The superb mobility and excellent ability to rush into the battle formation make Cavalry a nightmare for Infantry. A Elite Troops Cavalry can even determine the victory of a war!
Take Lü Bu as an example. Whenever there is a war, he likes to lead a thousand Bing Province Wolf Cavalry into the formation and behead them, heading straight for the enemy general.
This is also the reason why he can often win more with less.
The only army that can restrain Cavalry is the more Elite Troops Cavalry, or the heavily armored Infantry like Dare-to-Die Battalion or Vanguard Camp.
But even Vanguard Camp and Dare-to-Die Battalion can only protect themselves in front of Cavalry. There is no way Fa Zheng can defeat a Cavalry face-to-face.
So Liu Xie said that he wanted to build an army specifically to restrain Cavalry, which really puzzled Lü Bu and the other three.
"Look at this weapon."
Facing the slightly suspicious looks of the three people, Liu Xie smiled slightly, took out a piece of silk from the side and placed it on the case.
Lü Bu The three of them came forward to watch.
I saw a strange-looking weapon drawn with charcoal on the silk. It looked like a long-handled sword, but the blade of the weapon was longer than the handle, and it exuded an unspeakable sharpness and murderous aura.
"Your Majesty, what kind of weapon is this?"
Lü Bu felt a little awe-inspiring. Just looking at this kind of weapon made him feel inexplicably frightened. It felt extremely dangerous.
Not only him, but also Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong.
Although they had never seen this kind of weapon, their instinct as warriors told them that the weapon painted on the silk cloth was very dangerous.
"It's called Mo Dao."
Liu Xie revealed the name of this weapon, and then introduced it to them, "Mo Dao, the ancient long sword."
"The total length is seven feet, the handle is three feet long, and the blade is four feet long. It is made of fine iron, has two sides, and weighs about twenty. People who are not tall and strong cannot use it."
"I want to select a group of strong soldiers with heights above Eight Feet and let them hold Mo Dao to form a military formation to resist Cavalry."
"With this Mo Dao, when faced with the attack of Cavalry, a single blow can crush both men and horses!"
Looking at all the Huaxia dynasties and generations, if we talk about the pinnacle of the cold weapon army, Tang Dynasty should be the one.
Tang Dynasty has too many famous troops, including the famous Black Armor Army, Divine Strategy Army, Shuofang Army, and Anxi Army.
Among the powerful military forces of the Tang Dynasty, there is only one who can truly be called the true king of land warfare - that is Mo Dao Army!
During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the Battle of Talas, Tang Dynasty used Twenty Thousand Troops to face a sudden attack by the Arab coalition forces with ten times the strength. The Tang Dynasty army was still able to allow tens of thousands of people to safely evacuate Battlefield, and caused more than 70,000 casualties to the enemy.
Among them, Mo Dao Army, who was behind the break, had absolute credit. At the cost of annihilating the entire army, they caused dozens of times more damage to the Arab coalition forces than themselves!
It is simply a myth in the history of land warfare!
