People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 173 Young Ma Chao
Ma Teng suddenly shouted:
"Mr. Li!"

Hearing this, Li Wenhou looked back and found that Ma Teng had knelt down on one knee and raised the knife above his head with both hands.

He lowered his head, although he couldn't hide his desire, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"This knife is precious, please take it back, Mr. Li!"

Li Wenhou sneered, turned on his horse, looked down at Ma Teng, and finally said:
"There is no reason to take back the things I sent out. If you don't want them, then throw them away. Some people want to pick them up!"

Li Yao was also watching from the side, but he didn't try to persuade Ma Teng. Although it would be best if he could recruit Ma Teng, if he couldn't, then there was no need to stay.

If it can't be used by me, sooner or later it will become a serious problem for me...

It depends on how Ma Teng chooses!

At this time, Ma Teng, after sighing, put down the knife gradually, raised his head and said solemnly:
"Duke Ming treats you so kindly, and Ma Teng is willing to surrender. I hope Duke Ming can treat the people in the city well, and the soldiers..."

Ma Teng is not someone who will never surrender, he still wants to make some achievements and truly restore the reputation of his ancestors.

Moreover, if Li Wenhou treated him so favorably, if he refused again, he would be shameless, and in the end he could only die.

Li Wenhou nodded in satisfaction. Even he is quite happy to receive such a majestic man under his command:
"Since you have surrendered, I will not do any more killings. From now on, the people will live as usual, and you will select the best soldiers to join the Yi Cong Battalion, and you will still hand them over to command. The rest of the soldiers will be used to farm the fields, so you don't have to worry about it!"

At the beginning of the establishment of the Yi Cong Army, Li Yao had made it very clear that the Yi Cong Battalion was a sharp knife, and the left and right cavalry were the foundation. If the sharp knife was broken, it would be rebuilt, and if the foundation was shaken, everything would be abandoned.

But Ma Teng didn't know the details, he only knew that some soldiers and horses could be kept, and he was still in command.

Thinking that this is the importance he attaches to himself, Ma Teng was very moved, and immediately said sincerely:

"Ming Gong is very kind, and Ma Teng will definitely repay him with death!"

Li Wenhou was about to say something more when the city gate suddenly opened again, and dozens of cavalry rushed out, quickly attracting everyone's attention:
"Father, don't panic, Ma Chao is coming!"

Li Wenhou looked at Ma Teng, and he said in surprise:

"This is your son? With such a small force, you dare to attack my cavalry!"

Ma Teng's face also turned dark. After a little hesitation, he immediately cupped his hands and said:
"It's Gouzi. He has always acted recklessly. Please don't worry, Duke Ming. After I capture him, I will bring him to plead guilty to Duke Ming in person!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Teng turned around and left. He was afraid that if it was too late, his son would be captured and killed by these tens of thousands of cavalry.

After all, I love my son dearly, how can I watch him go to die, isn't it just sending him to die now.

But at this moment, Li Yao waved his hand directly, signaling to those loyal soldiers who had already drawn their swords and were ready to charge at any time, not to act rashly for now, because as long as they make a slight move, they can easily trample to death these dozens of cavalrymen.

Then he looked into the distance, and looked at the leader, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart:

"This young man is Ma Chao. He has the power to deceive his father at such a young age. I can only say that he really deserves to be him. Ma Teng is still negotiating in the formation, and Ma Chao has already led the army to kill him. Isn't this forcing us to kill his father? He is brave and has no brains. No wonder he cheated his family more than [-] times, and then cheated his wife and children to death. Finally, he died under Liu Bei's account..."

After Ma Chao's first rebellion, Cao Cao killed more than [-] members of his family. After Ma Chao's second rebellion, his wife and children were all killed by Zhang Lu. When he finally defected to Liu Bei, he had only his cousin Ma Dai by his side.

Lao Tzu took care of his son, naturally very handy, but after a while, Ma Teng brought a tall and strong boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old back to the army formation.

Ma Teng is 1.8 meters tall, nearly 1.9 meters tall, a big man in Kansai. Although this young man is not very old, his height and body shape completely follow his father.

Passing through the formation of the rebel army, tall horses, majestic soldiers, thick armor, sharp weapons... all left a deep impression on this young man. Even though he was afraid in his heart, he held his head stubbornly, and he was unwilling to give in.

Coming in front of Li Wenhou, Ma Teng immediately bowed and pleaded guilty:
"The dog is unreasonable, please forgive me, Shuzi, please forgive me..."

Until this time, Ma Chao said with some reluctance:

"Minggong forgive me!"

Li Wenhou stroked his beard, his eyes were shining, this boy looked like his second child, his eldest was much smarter than this boy.

But it still made him feel good, so he laughed and said:

"What is the crime of a son saving his father? It is not a crime for a son to save his father! Now your father has promised to surrender to me. When you become an adult, you may come to serve in the army..."

Ma Chao looked around, his eyes full of longing, and finally he said loudly:
"If I come to serve in the army, can I get a set of armor, weapons, and horses like this!"

This set of armor is so handsome, it is really hard for a teenager to resist.

Ma Teng's face changed when he heard the words, he was afraid that he would offend Li Wenhou.

But Li Wenhou didn't care, he would be angry with a young man, and even said with a smile:
"If you want this set of armor, you have to join the Yi Cong Battalion. Not everyone can enter the Yi Cong Battalion. Even your father can only choose the elite of the army to join!"

Ma Chao's face was flushed, and he felt that he was underestimated, so he raised his head, straightened his chest, and said proudly:

"Few of the soldiers in the army are my opponents. Even the elite veterans can only draw with me. Because I am young, Minggong is belittling me. I am not strong, but if I am strong, I can defeat ten thousand people!"

Li Wenhou pointed at Ma Chao and said with a smile to the people on the left and right:

"This son's ambition is not small, but he wants to defeat ten thousand people with one man..."

Then he looked at Ma Chao again:

"I don't want your ability to defeat ten thousand people. As long as you are capable of defeating a hundred people, I will give you a set of armor, and I will customize a set of armor for you!"

Hearing this, Li Yao secretly shook his head in his heart, he couldn't help thinking:
"Father is generous, and he wants to give Ma Chao a set of custom-made armor, but he is in the army, whether it is expanding the army or training soldiers. From military studies to military factories, I am not in charge of everything. If you really want to customize armor, you have to hand it over to me. But if a set of armor can win Ma Chao's heart, it is very cost-effective!"

As for Ma Chao, his face was a little immature, but at this moment he was extremely solemn, saluting respectfully like his father and said:
"Ming Gong, are you serious?"

Li Wenhou nodded with a smile:

"really!"

Ma Chao acts like an adult:
"The last general, Ma Chao, pays homage to Duke Ming!"

On the side, Ma Teng looked a little astonished, his son, why did he sell himself with a suit of armor!
