The load of ordnance, food and fodder delivered by carts and carts made everyone in Huce Mansion smile. This batch of food and grass was enough to feed the growing number of soldiers for half a month! This batch of ordnance was enough to fill the equipment of ten thousand cavalry! This is just

part of the contract, other things

The quality will be delivered after Zeng Yu surrenders on the surface, and these ordnance are only white ordnance, and there are no better ordnance in the Ma Xiu camp. All of this is the follow-up performance of the contract. The current batch of materials is only

It can be regarded as Matthew's life-buying money.

The stress in my heart was gone, and my injuries recovered very quickly. When I came to Ma Hutong in the county town again, my complexion and walking were much better than before. In fact, it had only been a day!

"Master Zeng, our Major General's work is much faster than expected, isn't it?" Ma Hutong said cheerfully.

Zeng Yu understood what he meant. Wasn't it just a hint that he would fulfill the agreement? There was no need to change sides, so what's the harm in surrendering on the surface?

Zeng Yu welcomed Ma Hutong into the house with a smile, ordered the maid to serve good tea, sat down, and then talked about the obligations that he should do. The so-called obligations! Is it nothing more than sending hostages? Or did Ma Xiu send someone here?

At this time, Ma Hutong was also in the mood to taste good tea. This was a good tea specially brought to him by a wealthy gentleman who was engaged in tea business in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Ma family, only the upper class could taste it.

After taking a sip of the crystal clear tea, it was fresh, mellow and refreshing. Even Ma Hutong, who doesn’t drink tea very much, felt it was wonderful, "Good tea! Mr. Zeng is indeed an elegant man!" Being able to drink such tea in Liangzhou,

It is indeed a kind of enjoyment.

Zeng Yu smiled slightly, "Thanks to the support of the elders in the early years, otherwise, I, Zeng Yu, wouldn't know where I would be wandering around!"

A good atmosphere, this is a good start. Ma Hutong couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his eyes. Whether the negotiated agreement can be recognized by the Ma family, this negotiation is the key.

"Master Zeng, these are all opportunities! Look, I have been working for the Ma family for decades, and in the end I have to work as a staff for a yellow-haired boy!" His dissatisfaction with Ma Xiu was clearly revealed in his words, which made him feel dissatisfied.

Zeng Yu was very surprised. Since you are not even satisfied with Ma Xiu, why are you still working so hard for Ma Xiu?

"Hey, although I have been working hard for Ma Xiu, in the final analysis, isn't it for the benefit of the Ma family? Besides, Ma Xiu is much younger than Ma Chao and others, and he also has potential in the Ma family. I

If you help him ascend to the throne, in the future

He can also take care of my relatives! So this time, with Mr. Zeng trying his best to help, I, Ma Hutong, can finally explain to Ma Xiu! I, Hutong, am really grateful!" Ma Hutong said frankly about his situation in the Ma family.

Listen to Zeng Yu.

"Where, where! This meager strength is nothing!" Zeng Yu replied modestly. This was just foreplay. Ma Hutong never entered the theme. Zeng Yu was not in a hurry. Anyway, he had already got the things.

What's urgent is Ma Hutong.

"Mr. Zeng, the grain, grass, and ordnance have also arrived. These are all materials that my Hutong rushed all night to load the truck! My Hutong wealth is also in it. Hey, this little thought of mine, brother! You can do it

Help me until the end!" Ma Hutong showed his emotion, and his old eyes were a little red.

Zeng Yu seemed a little moved and said hurriedly: "Sir, these are all agreed upon matters, why are you here to help? If you have anything to say, just say it! I feel quite sad when you are like this!"

Ma Hutong seemed a little embarrassed and said: "Our major general wants to recruit 10,000 cavalry from Huce Mansion for his own use? I don't know Master Zeng..."

To be honest, Zeng Yu didn't want to go back on the contract, because he saw that the Ma family was in constant civil strife and there was a lot of profit in it, but the lion in the horse alley opened his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, there were 10,000 cavalry. If these people and horses were to be given away, it wouldn't be

If a meat bun beats a dog, will it ever go back?

In troubled times, only with soldiers can you have strength.

If the soldiers are gone, the strength will be empty, and there will be no right to speak.

It was impossible for Zeng Yu to do such a thing, but after receiving so much food, grass and ordnance from the Ma family, it was not easy to refuse directly and simply remain speechless.

Ma Hutong could clearly see the dissatisfied expression on Zeng Yu's face. After all, the original agreement was that the Ma family could recruit 20,000 cavalry in times of crisis. Now as soon as he handed over the life money, he asked for 10,000.

The request for cavalry recruitment is really too much, but! Matthew is also helpless, he has experienced Ma Hutong

After betraying the government for the first time, his status in the clan was also much lower than before. If he could not show the results of recruiting Zeng Yu, he would not be able to do anything in front of the clan elders, so he asked Ma Hutong to make this request. He did not ask for the first time

To control this army, he only needs Zeng Yu to give him face and let him return to the Ma family to make him proud.

Ma Hutong explained the inside story to Zeng Yu, and then said: "We don't want to control these 10,000 cavalry. Master Zeng can send his trusted generals to take charge directly. As long as Master Zeng is willing to agree to this request, he can recruit 20,000 cavalry before the battle."

The treaty can also be canceled. This is related to the honor and disgrace of my young general, so please help me more!"

Hey! Don’t want to be in control? I’m afraid that if you bring back the Ma family, you won’t have the final say. Even if you send your trusted generals to lead, you won’t be allowed to be slaughtered by the Ma family? But now Zeng Yu doesn’t want to refuse this excessive request.

Now Zeng Yu has nearly 80,000 soldiers in his hands, and his daily food consumption has become a terrifying figure, especially since most of them are cavalry. He not only has to take care of the soldiers' rations, but also the horses' food and grass. This burden is

It can be dealt with temporarily, but in the long run, it will definitely be too much. Putting 10,000 cavalry in the Ma family can also alleviate the increasingly serious food crisis.

Zeng Yu also considered getting involved in the affairs of the Ma family. If he was willing to send 10,000 cavalry to guard Ma Xiu, Ma Xiu would of course have a more favorable impression of him. Taking advantage of the situation, he could also intervene in the emerging force of Ma Xiu, thus also

Being able to speak with the Ma family is also extremely beneficial to the development of Hu Ce Mansion.

But the only thing to worry about is that the Ma family will annex these 10,000 cavalry. If the Ma family has this intention, it will be useless even if they send a general to lead the army. Even the general to lead the army will have to fight with meat buns and dogs.

There is no turning back. This disadvantage is enough to wipe out all the benefits, so Zeng Yu has to be cautious. People who do big things gamble every step forward. Even if Zeng Yu now has 80,000 troops, he still has to gamble. He also has to gamble.

It's just an inconspicuous force in the Three Kingdoms.

After thinking for a long time, Zeng Yu finally made a decision in Ma Hutong's expectant eyes, agreeing to hand over 10,000 cavalry to Ma Xiu. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? Moreover, Zeng Yu did not intend to appoint a commander to lead the army.

The general will be in charge, and Ma Xiu will be given full authority to take charge of this army. If a general is assigned to take charge, when the Ma family comes to the Ma family, the general will inevitably be destroyed by fire. Every general is Zeng Yu’s hard work, and Zeng Yu

I don't want them to take risks.

As for the 10,000 cavalry, Zeng Yu came up with a safer way to make it impossible for the Ma family to do anything. He only needed to replace all the officers above the rank of the 10,000 cavalry with trustworthy people, and ostensibly obey Ma Xiu.

This is much safer, but of course there are risks.

Ma Hutong didn't know the twists and turns, but when he saw that Zeng Yu actually agreed to this request, without accompanying the commander of the army, and completely handed the army into their hands, this sincerity almost made him unbelievable, and what followed was a burst of

Overjoyed, with these 10,000 cavalry chips, not only

Matthew's status in the Ma family has skyrocketed, and his status will also soar. He originally thought he needed to bargain, but his bottom line is actually only 3,000 cavalry, but he can actually get 10,000 cavalry. He is so excited.

It was so fast that he could hardly breathe.
