In the following days, Ma Teng and Han Sui took advantage of the opportunity of holding a military meeting and had a lot of heart-to-heart talks with Zhang Ji, eating and drinking.

Several times later, Ma Teng and Han Sui set a date for the action, asked Zhang Ji to come over and drink again, and asked Zhang Ji to bring his nephew Zhang Xiu to drink together.

Then, during the banquet, he suddenly took action, killed Zhang Xiu and captured Zhang Ji alive.

"Why do you treat me like this!!!"

Zhang Ji roared in despair on his face.

"The reason why we become traitors is because you are harmed. If you don't give you to Guo Zifeng, Guo Zifeng will ask us to bury you with you!"

Han Sui looked at Zhang Ji viciously: "Leave you to Guo Zifeng, all of us can live!"

Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately launched a sudden attack. Han Sui surrounded Zhang Ji's mansion, killed all Zhang Ji's personal soldiers, and then captured all Zhang Ji's family alive.

Ma Teng led his army into the defense area of ​​the soldiers brought by Zhang Ji, confiscated the weapons of the group of people, and then claimed that Zhang Ji had been captured and that Zhang Xiu was dead. If they wanted to survive, they had to follow them honestly, otherwise they would die now.

Then Ma freed up Zhang Xiu's head, causing the army to collapse.

Without a leader, he could only follow the trend and follow Ma Teng's arrangements.

So Ma Teng's army quelled Zhang Ji's old subordinates who might have riots without bloodshed.

Then, they began to mobilize urgently, ask everyone to pack up, contact Guo Peng for transactions, and prepare to retreat.

Just as it was dawn on the sixth day of June, Ma Teng and Han Sui were ready. Han Sui led the team to serve as a support and alert in the rear. Ma Teng took Ma Chao and Ma Tie and his sons to go forward to trade with Guo Peng.

In order to ensure the safety and sincerity of both parties, both sides can only lead a guard force of less than 100 people and stay away from their respective base camps, that is, trade at the middle point between Chang'an City and Guo Peng's military camps.

Ma Teng escorted Zhang Ji and his family and pointed it to Guo Peng. Guo Peng also escorted Ma Dai and Pang De and pointed it to Ma Teng.

Pound did not choose to surrender.

When Guo Peng told him that he wanted to negotiate peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui, he gave him a choice whether to return to Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp or follow him to fight.

Pound chose to go back.

"The hometown is unforgettable, I hope the general will fulfill it."

Guo Peng did not make things difficult for Pang De, but just patted him on the shoulder.

"Actually, with me, you will be able to go back to your hometown one day... Well, since you made such a choice, I won't make things difficult for you, Ling Ming, please do it yourself."

Guo Peng chose to let Pang De and Ma Dai go together, and exchanged them for Zhang Ji, his family, and Zhang Xiu's head.

The whole family was blocked. Although Zhang Ji twisted and struggled desperately, Guo Peng quickly ordered the tiger guards to send his family, including him, back to the camp without talking nonsense.

The person he wanted to talk to was naturally Ma Teng, not Zhang Ji, the loser.

"I didn't expect that the first time you and I met, it was like this, General Ma, I admire him for a long time."

"You are polite to Mr. Wei. If you want to say that you have long admired him, you will still be the last general to admire Mr. Wei's name for a long time."

Ma Teng clasped his fists and bowed: "Mr. Wei's reputation has long been spread to Liangzhou. We don't know whether we can. This time, we personally learned about Wei's military use and realized that Wei is really powerful. We Liangzhou people are not the opponent of Wei."

"Why did it come to this?"

Guo Peng sighed: "Gu does not want to be enemies with General Ma, and Gu does not want to be enemies with anyone. Gu just hopes that the world will be stable and the people will live and work in peace. That's all, but why do people always start a war and force Gu to fight to the end?"

Ma Teng really can't say that Guo Peng is too shameless, but his beautiful words are indeed too shameless.

But in a sense, every time Guo Peng sent troops to fight, he was famous for his divisions and had a distinction between righteousness and righteousness, and no one could say that he was wrong, so is he wrong to say this?

Obviously there isn't.

But how can Ma Teng, as the party whose interests are damaged, look at this matter calmly?

This is even more true for Ma Chao. It is not easy to hold back his anger, so how can he talk about such a thing?

Ma Chao actually really wanted to have a big fight with Guo Peng, and stab Guo Peng to death with one spear to exclaim his anger, but Ma Teng was worried that Ma Chao would be impulsive, so he confiscated all of Ma Chao's weapons and prevented him from doing anything randomly.

"Mr. Wei said that there are so many people in the world who are restless."

Ma Teng could only agree with the smile. Looking at Ma Teng's awkward smile, Guo Peng's mood became a little happy, so he didn't mind sharing some more important military intelligence with Ma Teng.

"General Ma, since we have had a peace talk, we should live in peace in the future. I have to tell you some things in advance."

Guo Peng smiled and said, "Can General Ma know that Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, conquered Hanzhong?"

"I also know this. Liu Jiyu conquered Hanzhong and called himself the King of Hanzhong..."

Ma Teng frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Duke Wei, does this Liu Jiyu want to..."

"Yes, I think so too."

Guo Peng nodded: "The reason why Gu agreed to negotiate with you is because Gu learned about this matter. Gu thought that Liu Jiyu was probably going to be the emperor. If he wanted to be emperor, he would naturally fight the Northern Expedition. We will continue to fight and both sides will be defeated. In the end, it will still be a bargain. Liu Jiyu? Maybe Liu Jiyu is waiting for us to fight both sides."

Ma Teng was very surprised, and the sons behind him were also surprised.

"This... Liu Jiyu is going to fight the north?"

"Otherwise, how could he call himself King of Hanzhong?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "In the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao was the king in Hanzhong, built a plank road openly and crossed Chencang secretly, so as to enter Guanzhong, defeat the Three Qins and occupy Guanzhong, thus having the qualification to compete for hegemony with Xiang Yu. Liu Jiyu probably also wanted to retake this path.

As for whether he would take Chencang Road, Gu was not sure. Perhaps he would take Qishan Road, Baoxi Road, or Ziwu Valley. No matter what, he would go north to fight. Although it is likely that he came for Gu, it is hard to say.

General Ma, advancing from Shu, Qishan Road is the widest, and the road is relatively best. Ziwu Valley is closest to Chang'an, but the road is the hardest. Do you think Liu Jiyu will march from Qishan Road or from Ziwu Valley?"

Ma Teng frowned, and the sons looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

There are more than a dozen warlord forces of all sizes in Liangzhou, and the alliance between Ma Teng and Han Sui is the most powerful and the most famous.

If Liu Zhang advances north from Qishan Road and arrives in Liangzhou, he will inevitably have conflicts with Ma Teng and Han Sui's forces.

After just after this battle, his strength was exhausted, and Ma Teng and Han Sui were exhausted. Wouldn't it be bad if Liu Zhang chose to advance at this time?
