Looking at Xi Zhicai's determined look and thinking of the horrific destructive power of the general on the battlefield, bitterness welled up in his heart.
If the Huns want to avoid being destroyed, they can only bow their heads.
He sighed and said, "I am willing to follow the arrangement of China and move my people to China. I only ask you not to forget your promise today, otherwise I, the Xiongnu, will really..."
Xi Zhicai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. How can a great country like the Celestial Empire go back on its word?"
"Before leaving, the Lord specifically told us that if the Xiongnu could help China wipe out the Wuhuan, they could let one administrative official from each gathering place be controlled by the Xiongnu. However, the official would need to be trained by China and only qualified officials could serve as officials."
"Are you Xiongnu willing to serve the Celestial Empire?"
These words sounded like heavenly music to Bulu, who nodded frantically: "The Xiongnu are willing to serve the Celestial Empire, even if they die, they will have no regrets."
Xi Zhicai laughed loudly and helped Bulu up. "Three days later, the elderly, the weak, women and children will go to Bingzhou first. There will be people to meet us there. We will go straight to Liaodong and destroy the Wuhuan."
"Here!!"
Xiliang, Wuwei City.
At first, Ma Teng and Han Sui still wanted to compete with Ye Feng, at least to dominate Xiliang.
However, as the events of Jingxiang spread to Xiliang, especially when Ye Feng entered the realm of a divine general, both forces completely gave up resistance and surrendered directly.
I originally thought that after surrendering, I would be able to march into the Western Regions on behalf of China and establish great achievements.
Who knew that Ye Feng did let Ma Teng sweep across the Western Regions, but he also asked Guan Yu to come and advance in two directions.
Because of waiting for these two people, the plan to march into the Western Regions was delayed for half a month. Ma Teng and Han Sui were well aware of the ways of being an official and knew that Guan Yu was a brave general trusted by Ye Feng, so they were not angry.
However, the generals under his command, such as Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, etc., naturally felt uncomfortable.
Today is the day when Guan Yu and Zhao Yun arrived at Wuwei City.
Ma Teng ordered everyone to go out of the city to welcome them, which made Ma Chao and others unable to bear the anger in their hearts any longer.
"Father, there are two groups attacking the Western Regions, with no priority, so why are we going out of the city to welcome them?"
"Although they delayed their advance due to heavy rain, they still violated military orders and should be punished by military law."
"I can't stand such servility and smiling face."
Although Pang De, Ma Dai, Ma Tie and others did not speak, they nodded subconsciously, with discomfort in their eyes.
Ma Teng smiled and said, "General Guan Yu was the first to follow the lord, and fought all the way east and west, making countless contributions. Although we have made contributions by surrendering, we have no other merits."
"The empire is about to be established. Why not make a good relationship with him?"
"Wouldn't it be a pity if we lost this great opportunity just because of a breath?"
"Besides, aren't you looking for an opportunity to break through to the late Heavenly General stage?"
"If he is willing, maybe you will really have the opportunity to break through this barrier."
Ma Chao was stunned, with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "Father, do you mean that Guan Yu is in the late stage of the Heavenly General realm?" "How is this possible?"
"Apart from Lu Bu who was killed and his master who killed him, is there anyone else in the world who has reached this level?"
"I don't believe it. When he arrives, I'll see how capable he is."
"If I have the ability, I will have no regrets no matter how long we wait."
Ma Teng didn't expect his son to be so impulsive, and shook his head repeatedly: "Don't be anxious."
"Today, the civil and military officials of Liangzhou are all outside the city. You are provoking him in public. Regardless of success or failure, how can Guan Yu not feel uncomfortable?"
"Even if we want to spar, it has to be after today."
Ma Chao neither objected nor agreed, but his determined gaze said it all.
Ma Teng sighed lightly. Knowing Ma Chao's temper, he said no more. In fact, didn't he have some resentment in his heart?
Time passes slowly.
At noon, a black line appeared in the sky, followed by deafening footsteps, and more than 10,000 cavalrymen approached rapidly.
At the front, Guan Yu is holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, his face is as red as a date, and he looks very majestic.
As they approached the city gate, Guan Yu could not help but smile when he saw Ma Teng and his men waiting. He was not too arrogant and dismounted: "General Ma, you are too polite. I have already delayed the attack date. Why do you have to come out to greet me in person?"
"I am so ashamed to accept this!"
Although his words were polite, everyone could sense the arrogance in him.
Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "The general assisted the lord in conquering Jingxiang, and his reputation spread throughout the world. With the general on the march, the Qiang people and the countries in the Western Regions are absolutely no match for our Celestial Empire."
"There is already a camp outside the city, and the army can be stationed outside. General, please come in, so that I can show my hospitality as a host."
Guan Yu nodded and was about to enter the city.
Ma Chao, who was standing by, ignored Ma Teng's look and stepped forward quickly, saying in a loud voice: "I have heard that General Guan is invincible in bravery, second only to the lord. I have long admired your reputation. I wonder if you can show your might and let us know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is?"
"After all, the upcoming war requires the cooperation of our Xiliang Army. The army has always worshipped the strong. If there are people without any ability, I am afraid that people will be uneasy!"
Ma Chao's provocation was equally obvious. Guan Yu, who had already taken a few steps, stopped, turned around, and looked at Ma Chao with interest.
After a moment, terrifying strong energy emanated from his body.
Just the aura was enough to make Pang De, Ma Dai, Ma Tie and others feel a strong threat, as if they would die if they just moved their fingers.
Only Ma Chao was not frightened by Guan Yu's momentum. The internal energy in his body also scattered out, colliding violently with Guan Yu's momentum.
Although the two did not fight, their fighting spirits were already colliding fiercely. (End of this chapter)
