Chapter 279 Conditions for Ma Teng
Li Qian led his troops to rest temporarily in Yunwu City, preparing to follow Huangfu Song's main force of the Han army to march into Beidi County after the rest.

As long as the Northern Alliance is suppressed, the rebellion in Liangzhou will be declared over.

"Ma Teng sent an envoy to ask to see the lord."

"Bring him to me."

A young officer from Xiliang was brought in by Yuchi Jingde.

When this Xiliang cavalryman saw Li Qian, his eyes revealed fear.

Li Qian was considered a ruthless man by the Liangzhou rebels. In the Battle of Chencang City, Li Qian led his troops in and out of the rebel camp seven times. In the Battle of Yunwu City, he shot and killed Beigong Boyu and captured Han Sui's general Cheng Yi alive.

"Where is Ma Teng? Why did I send you to see me?"

"Our general would like to ask you to return the captured Ma Yue and Ma Yunlu. We are willing to offer 800 war horses and 3,000 taels of gold for this."

The Xiliang lieutenant watched Li Qian's expression nervously, trying to get a glimpse of Li Qian's inner thoughts, but Li Qian remained calm.

"Go back and tell Ma Teng to write a letter asking Ma Yue to serve me for five years. Then I will let him go. In order to prevent Ma Yue from escaping, Ma Yunlu will stay here as a hostage."

"really?"

The Xiliang lieutenant saw that although Li Qian did not agree to Ma Teng's conditions and put forward new conditions, there was a turn for the better after all, so he could go back and report.

At present, Ma Teng’s identity is a traitor, so even if Li Qian executes Ma Yue and Ma Yunlu, it is only natural.

As long as Ma Yue works for Li Qian for five years, he and Ma Yunlu can come back.

The Xiliang lieutenant was overjoyed: "I will go back and report right away."

"Wait a minute. Ahem, those eight hundred war horses and three thousand taels of gold cannot be spared."

Since Ma Teng brought it to him himself, Li Qian had no reason to refuse.

Who would complain about having too many war horses?
The Xiliang lieutenant was speechless. This man was too greedy.

But Ma Yue and Ma Yunlu were both in Li Qian's hands at this time, so he had no choice but to go back and report truthfully.

Seeing the Xiliang officer leave, Li Qian's mouth curled up.

He only said that Ma Yue could leave after five years, but he didn't say that Ma Yunlu could be let go.

Ma Yue will work for himself for five years.

As for five years later, if the world situation changes, we can find any reason to bargain again.

This is just like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou.

While Li Qian was waiting for Ma Teng's reply, Dong Zhuo led a million Han troops to leave Yunwu City and march towards Beidi County.

Dong Zhuo rode on a tall horse, looking at the marching army with ambition, and said to Li Ru: "Now, Sun Wentai has no excuse to ask Huangfu Song to kill me."

Li Ru stroked his beard and said, "Sun Wentai is a fierce tiger. Don't mess with him easily. Moreover, the Northern Alliance has a million soldiers and thousands of good generals. If you can take this opportunity to subdue the Northern Alliance, it will be easy for you to conquer the world."

"Hahahaha, when I become the emperor, I will appoint you as the national teacher."

Dong Zhuo was in a good mood and patted his belly.

Not long after Dong Zhuo left, Ma Teng sent another envoy over, bringing eight hundred war horses and three thousand taels of gold, as well as a letter from home.

The content of the letter was just as Li Qian requested, asking Ma Yue to work for Li Qian for five years and take good care of Ma Yunlu.

Ma Yue received the letter and sighed helplessly: "I have worked for you for five years. I hope you will keep your promise."

"Ding, Liangzhou general Ma Yue pledges allegiance to you. Ma Yue's initial loyalty is 90."

Li Qian received a system prompt that Ma Yue's initial loyalty was surprisingly not low. It seemed that Ma Teng's family letter had worked.

Li Qian can now see Ma Yue's character attributes.

[Story]: Descendant of General Fu Bo Ma Yuan, brother of Ma Teng, father of Ma Dai. This general has reached the peak of his personal ability. If you want to continue to improve his ability, please explore other possibilities.

……

As the younger brother of Ma Teng and the father of Ma Dai, Ma Yue has good military attributes. If he is placed in a small force, Ma Yue can serve as a general who can stand on his own.

Although "Descendants of Fu Bo" is only an S-level characteristic, the effect of this characteristic will be strengthened with each additional Xiliang Ma general.

In a sense, this characteristic of a general really has unlimited potential.

Li Qian currently knows of seven descendants of Fu Bo, namely Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Yunlu, Ma Yue and Ma Dai, which is enough to strengthen the S-level characteristic "Descendants of Fu Bo" seven times.

Li Qian arranged Ma Yue and Beigong Chun to command 9000 Xiliang cavalry, with Beigong Chun as the chief general and Ma Yue as the deputy general.

Ma Yue and Beigong Chun's personal abilities have reached their peak, so Li Qian doesn't need to worry too much.

The only drawback is that this Xiliang cavalry is still lacking a military advisor.

There were few counselors, and Li Qian was unable to assign a military advisor to each troop.

Fortunately, generals such as Li Jing, Chen Qingzhi, and Li Su have high intelligence values ​​and can be considered military advisors. The only role of military advisors for them is to provide them with a bonus to the military advisor aura.

After managing to get Ma Yue to serve as an official, Li Qian began to receive rewards for three tasks...

“叮,你领取了S级成就任务‘湟中义从胡’的奖励,你获得战功×30000、声望×3000、战马×500、湟中义从胡×1000。你获得二流招贤令×1、湟中义从胡兵符×1。”

In Emperor Yuan's camp, he received the reward for the S-level achievement task "Huangzhong Yiconghu". As expected, there was no first-class recruitment order. The reward became a second-class recruitment order and the "Huangzhong Yiconghu" military token.

Emperor Yuan’s face turned livid.

If Li Qian had not taken advantage of the opportunity and shot Beigong Boyu to death, Emperor Yuan would have obtained a first-rate recruitment order, with a 100% chance of recruiting first-rate civil and military officials, and a slight chance of recruiting top-rate civil and military officials.

As a result, because Li Qian intercepted it, the S-level task reward became an A-level task reward.

"Scholar, I won't let this go."

Emperor Yuan angrily used this second-rate talent recruitment order...
