"But sir, if we don't agree to the conditions in western Sichuan, then the safety of the young master will be at stake..." Zhou He said. As a counselor, he has the responsibility to remind Ma Haiyan of these issues.
"Sir, we will immediately attack the Western Sichuan Army and force them to release the young master. If our Qingma Army, Hezhou Majia Army and Ningma Army work together, no matter how powerful the Western Sichuan Army is, they will not be our opponent!" Gu
Hong Yun asked for orders loudly.
"Father, brother's safety is more important!" Ma Lin also looked anxious. Although he wanted the Western Sichuan Army to kill Ma Qi, he still had to do it if necessary. Otherwise, what would Ma Haiyan think of him?
"Hmph! You don't need to persuade me anymore. The Western Sichuan Army has bullied others too much. Our Qingma Army has sworn to be incompatible with them. Zhou He, you go to Hezhou immediately and contact the Ma Jiajun and Ningma Army in Hezhou. The three of us will send troops together.
Siege Western Sichuan. If they dare to touch my son, I will not let them go!" Ma Haiyan said fiercely.
"Yes, sir!" Zhou He accepted the order.
"Hong Yun, go and get the troops ready! As soon as Hezhou responds, we will launch an attack immediately!" Ma Haiyan ordered.
"Yes, sir! Brothers have been preparing to fight against the Western Sichuan Army for a long time!" Gu Hongyun said excitedly.
After Zhou He and Gu Hongyun left, only Ma Haiyan and Ma Lin were left in the study.
"Father, don't be too anxious. Big brother will be fine!" Ma Lin comforted. Ma Haiyan only has two sons, Ma Qi and Ma Lin. Now Ma Qi is very likely to be in trouble, and he is the only one left.
. Then, he will definitely inherit the Qingma Army in the future, which makes Ma Lin very excited. Originally, Ma Qi was the recognized heir. Now that something happened to Ma Qi, this is completely a God-given opportunity!
"Ma Lin, your eldest brother is good at everything, but he is too competitive and impatient. You have to remember this!" Ma Haiyan looked at Ma Lin and said. Now, it is probably difficult to save Ma Qi safely.
Now that he's back, he can only rely on Ma Lin.
"Yes, father. I remember it!" Ma Lin said quickly.
"Okay, you go down! If your eldest brother died in the Western Sichuan Army, you must avenge him!" Ma Haiyan's eyes were shining with resentment.
"Yes, Father. The Western Sichuan Army and I are irreconcilable!" Ma Lin assured immediately.
The next day, Ma Yuntao received a reply from Ma Haiyan. As expected, Ma Haiyan sternly rejected the conditions of the Western Sichuan Army. At the same time, he also ordered Ma Yuntao to continue negotiating with the Western Sichuan Army and try to get Ma Qi if possible.
If he can't be saved, then he doesn't have to go back.
After Ma Yuntao received this reply, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. All his family members were in Xining! If he failed, he and his family would have no way to survive.
Ma Yuntao made an urgent appointment with Cai Yun, and the negotiations continued.
"General Cai, the Admiral has rejected your army's request. Your army's request is too overwhelming. Please ask your army to change the conditions!" Ma Yuntao said with a bitter face.
"Does Ma Haiyan not care about his son's life or death?" Cai Yun said with a playful smile.
Ma Yuntao shook his head. Sons are important, but inheritance is even more important! If a son is gone, he can be reborn. If the inheritance is gone, it will not be so easy to win. Besides, Ma Haiyan didn’t only have one son, and one died.
, will not affect the succession of their Ma family. Therefore, it is simply impossible for the Western Sichuan Army to use Ma Qi to threaten Ma Haiyan to accept the leadership of the Western Sichuan Army.
Ma Yuntao was also a little confused. He knew that the Western Sichuan Army must be very clear about this result. But why did the Western Sichuan Army still make such a request? Could it be that the Western Sichuan Army had any other conspiracy?
"Let's do this! Let's discuss it with Chengdu again. Mr. Ma is also communicating with Admiral Ma to try to reach a condition that is satisfactory to both parties. That's it for today! We'll talk tomorrow!" Cai Yun said.
"Okay, General Cai!" Ma Yuntao nodded. He already knew that this mission would probably not be completed.
"Chief of Staff, it seems that Ma Haiyan does not agree to trade the territory for his son's life!" Wu Yaohui said with a smile.
"Isn't this what we expected? Okay, it's time to take the second step. Yuze, the next step is up to you!" Cai Yun looked at Wang Yuze and said.
"Okay, Chief of Staff, I'll go see Ma Qi right away!" Wang Yuze nodded and left quickly.
The 10th Brigade specially prepared a small courtyard for Ma Qi. The environment was very quiet and surrounded by elite guards from the 10th Brigade. Ma Qi could not escape at all.
Wang Yuze came to the outside of the small courtyard. After inspection, he was allowed to enter the courtyard. The courtyard was not big, with only three rooms, and was very simple. After Wang Yuze entered, he saw Ma Qi in a daze at the stone table in the courtyard. A few months ago
Missing, Ma Qi was much thinner than when he first saw her. Several months of house arrest had severely damaged Ma Qi, both physically and mentally.
"Master Ma is so excited!" Wang Yuze said.
Ma Qi glanced at Wang Yuze, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm.
"Is there something wrong with Captain Wang?" Ma Qi said. He has been under house arrest for a long time, and the Western Sichuan Army has never given an accurate answer on whether to release or kill him, which makes him very aggrieved and depressed.
"I came here to tell Master Ma some news. Your father has sent someone to take you back!" Wang Yuze said, while he secretly paid attention to Ma Qi's expression.
Sure enough, Ma Qi's eyes flashed with joy. However, he did not show it and asked calmly: "What? Are you willing to let me go?"
"Of course, as long as Admiral Ma agrees to our conditions, of course we are willing to let you go!" Wang Yuze looked sincere.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Ma Qi's face. He is Ma Haiyan's most beloved son. Although he was captured, he knew that Ma Haiyan would definitely try his best to rescue him. He was about to leave this ghost place.
Made him very happy.
"But, unfortunately, we just got the news that Admiral Ma did not agree to our conditions. So, Master Ma, you still have to live here!" Wang Yuze said with some regret.
"So? No, it's impossible. My father will not leave me alone!" Ma Qi stood up all of a sudden and shouted uncontrollably.
"By the way, the conditions you proposed must be too excessive, otherwise, my father would definitely not ignore me!" Ma Qi said suddenly.
"Yes, I admit it. Our conditions are a bit excessive. We asked the Qingma Army to accept our adaptation and Qinghai be merged into western Sichuan. However, Admiral Ma sternly refused!" Wang Yuze said.
"Haha!" Ma Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Of course, it was impossible for Ma Haiyan to agree to such conditions. How could he, Ma Qi, not be as good as the Qing Ma Army's foundation!
"So, Master Ma, Admiral Ma has given up on you. You will probably have to live your whole life in western Sichuan. I remember that you seem to have a younger brother! No wonder Admiral Ma has given up on you!" Wang Yuze said suddenly.
Ma Qi's eyes were filled with death. He knew very well that Ma Haiyan would never trade Qinghai and the Qingma Army for him. He would probably be under house arrest by the Western Sichuan Army for the rest of his life.
"Master Ma, now there are only two options before you. One is to be under house arrest by us for the rest of your life. Alternatively, you can cooperate with us. You will become a senior general of our Western Sichuan Army. We can help you gain control of the Qingma Army.
Quan. However, the Qingma Army you control must accept our reorganization!" Wang Yuze stated the main purpose of his visit to Ma Qi this time.
Ma Qi's eyes lit up. Of course he didn't want to be under house arrest for the rest of his life. However, joining the Western Sichuan Army made him hesitate. He knew that what the Western Sichuan Army wanted was the Qingma Army's tens of thousands of elites and the territory of Qinghai. Of course, if he
If they cooperate, the Western Sichuan Army will not break their promise. However, if he is asked to betray the Qingma Army and Ma Haiyan, he still cannot do it.
"Master Ma, don't forget, Admiral Ma has given up on you! This is your last chance!" Wang Yuze said again.
A trace of determination flashed in Ma Qi's eyes. "Okay, I promise you to cooperate with the Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Qi nodded heavily.
