Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 71
After Ma Teng and others retreated in defeat, there were less than a hundred people around them.As for Han Sui who evacuated first, there were still more than [-] people around him, and they were all fully armed.

Ma Teng looked at Han Sui, but didn't know what to say. At this time, the two have not reached the level of sworn brotherhood that Ye Mo had in his previous life, but the relationship between the two is considered good.But Ma Teng didn't expect that Han Sui didn't discuss with him about attacking Sishuiguan, but this time he abandoned him and fled.

Han Sui didn't dare to go to see Ma Teng, after all he still felt ashamed.This is like a thief going to steal something. When he is not found, the thief will be very complacent, but once he is caught, he will become blushing and heartbeating.

Seeing Han Sui like this, Ma Teng shook his head, sighed, and said nothing.

The next day, the two returned to the coalition barracks and reported the defeat to the leader Dong Zhuo.Before Dong Zhuo could respond, Bao Xin stood up suddenly.Even Ma Teng has returned, but there is no news of his younger brother Bao Zhong, so don't even think about it, Bao Zhong must be in danger.

Bao Xin's younger brother died, but Bao Xin didn't dare to show it in the agenda.In Bao Zhong's case, it was because he didn't listen to the leader's orders first, and it didn't matter if he didn't say it. It's just that his strength is enough to keep others away from him, and even exclude him from this circle.

"Why did Yuncheng stand up?" Looking at Bao Xin who was standing on his seat in a daze, Dong Zhuo asked in puzzlement.

"Ah? Ah, it's okay." Hearing Dong Zhuo's question, Bao Xin was stunned for a moment in the state of grief of losing his brother, and then he realized that he quickly got to his seat.

"You guys, tell me what's going on." Pointing to Ma Teng and Han Sui in the tent, Dong Zhuo asked.It's just that there is no question in these words, it's all like a superior asking a subordinate a question.In fact, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, who can compete with him in Xiliang?
Hearing Dong Zhuo's question, Ma Teng didn't notice Dong Zhuo's tone, but honestly told the scene that happened before the Sishui Pass.

As for Dong Zhuo, who was sitting at the main seat in the discussion tent, when he heard Ma Teng mentioning the Ye family, his face was naturally a little unkind.It's just that Ma Teng was only focused on telling Dong Zhuo what happened at Sishuiguan, but he didn't notice the change in Dong Zhuo's face.

"You mean, at Sishui Pass, you met someone from the Ye family?" Dong Zhuo's tone was gloomy, as if he was trying his best to suppress some kind of anger.

"Exactly, Ye Zhen made a good move before the battle, and then he fought to a draw with my number one general, Pound, which caused the morale of our army to plummet." Ma Teng naturally wouldn't talk about today's events one by one. Shidi told Dong Zhuo that if that was the case, wouldn't he be a person who boosted other people's morale and destroyed his own prestige?

"Ye family, damn it! Damn it! They are members of the Ye family again. Why are there people from the Ye family everywhere? Where is the Ye family? I will run and kill them all!" After hearing Ma Teng's confirmation, Dong Zhuo casually took the Throwing the things in his hand on the ground, he shouted hysterically.

In Dong Zhuo's impression, since he came to Luoyang, anyone who met members of the Ye family must be in bad luck.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's madness, everyone in the tent was frightened by Dong Zhuo's appearance and dared not speak. One by one, they lowered their heads under the table.

"Wenyou, Zhongdao, you two know the origin of this Ye family." Looking at the princes in the tent who were frightened by his appearance, he immediately suppressed his anger and asked Li Ru and Wei Zhongdao beside him.

Li Ru parted ways long after he accompanied Jia Xu to leave the nameless hill, and afterward Li Ru heard about Dong Zhuo's "false decree to cut leaves", and he didn't dare to stay in Xiliang for too long. Hurry back towards your home.

Listening to Dong Zhuo's question at this time, although Li Ru sent people to investigate the Ye family, they still didn't get any useful information.

"The Ye family is probably in the Hetao Plain." At this time, Wei Zhongdao, who was not very noticeable, really said.The Wei family lost a caravan in the hands of the Ye family before.Therefore, Wei Zhongdao probably guessed the fact that Ye's family is located in the Hetao Plain.

"Hetao Plain?" Dong Zhuo was talking about this place, and suddenly asked the other princes: "Everyone, have you ever heard of that big family called the Ye family?"

Everyone in the discussion account looked at each other, but shook their heads one after another, expressing that they had never heard of a family with the surname "Ye".

"Could it be that the Ye family are remnants of the pre-Qin Dynasty?" They all heard clearly what Wei Zhongdao said before.At this time, Dong Zhuo asked everyone if they had heard of the Ye family, but no one had heard of it.Immediately, Liu Dai stood up and guessed.

After hearing Liu Dai's guess, the other people looked at each other and expressed their agreement.

It is even more suspicious that a family can have such a powerful strength but is unknown, and the place where they live is actually on the territory of the Southern Huns.

As for the so-called pre-Qin survivors, there is a unified name to call them—old Qin people.The so-called old Qin people refer to the name of the group of people who were under the rule of Qin during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Due to Qin's Shang Yang reform, the people of Qin State were more warlike than the people of the Six Kingdoms, which also made people in the world separate this group of people from other Han people and call them old Qin people.

"Old Qin?" After listening to Liu Dai's explanation, Dong Zhuo seemed to think it made sense.If not, which family would not be known to the sitting princes?

"General, when my subordinates came from Xiliang, I heard a very interesting statement. I wonder if the general wants to hear it?" At this moment, Li Ru seemed to think of something, and said to Dong Zhuo.

After Dong Zhuo determined that the Ye family was from Lao Qin, his mood suddenly became much brighter, and he said to Li Ru: "Wen You heard something interesting, why don't you tell me?"

"My subordinates have heard that the ancestor of the Ye family is Rui Suo, one of the five emperors. The Ye family is really an ancient family handed down by Ye Zigao, the fifth emperor Rui Suo. General, do you think this news is very interesting?" Speaking of this When the news came, Li Ru was all smiles.

When Dong Zhuo heard the news about Li Rujiang, he suddenly felt that Li Ru was playing tricks on him, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this rumor was really good news.

"Wen You, send someone to spread the news that the Ye family is from the old Qin and the news that the Ye family is the descendant of Ye Zigao. You can't let such an important news circulate so slowly. After all, this news is very interesting!" After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he burst out laughing.

Wei Zhongdao didn't know the intention of Li Ru's news at first, but after Dong Zhuo gave the order, he immediately understood.This is a tactic to draw fire from the bottom of the pot. This tactic alone can set the backyard of the imperial court on fire, and there is no time for others to take care of it.

Originally, Wei Zhongdao thought that Li Ru was nothing more than that, but at this moment, he realized that he was overbearing after all, and underestimated the heroes of the world.Thinking of this, the pupils in Wei Zhongdao's eyes shrank slightly.
