I really can't control myself

Before this, the Ma family was of course the only one in Yongjincheng. The entire military and political power of Yongjin City is in the hands of the Ma family. Naturally, no other family dares to compete with them.

The Tian Yu family is an old gentry family in Yongjin City. Their history in Yongjin City is much longer than that of the Ma family.

However, after the Ma family came to Yongjincheng, the two families had always played the role of moneybags.

Yes, once the Ma family runs out of money, or goes out to raise money and food, they and a bunch of other families will be called by the Ma family. It is said that it is raising money and food, but it is actually harvesting a wave of leeks.

Of course, these two families are unhappy. Every time they are short of money, they turn to them to get it. There is no benefit at all. They really regard them as being taken advantage of.

But if they are unhappy, what can they do? Of course there is no way. There are more than 60,000 soldiers in Yongjincheng, and they all only obey the orders of the Ma family. So what can they do? They can only endure their displeasure.

Of course, if you endure it, something will happen. The current situation can be said to have been filled with resentment for a long time. If Ma Yixiong was here, he would naturally be able to calm down the situation, but now that the news of Ma Yixiong's death has reached Yongjin City, the long-standing grievances will of course explode.

What's more, they have a legitimate reason, which is the issue of inheritance.

Before that, in order to better make money from some families in Yongjin City, the Ma family had to do at least the right things on the surface. Therefore, in order to better exploit these families, Ma Yixiong also used a relatively simple method, which was naturally marriage.

Of course, Ma Yixiong was a shrewd person. Although it was a marriage, both the Tian family and the Yu family only took women from their families as concubines. As we all know, the birth of a concubine is naturally the birth of a concubine. Ma Yixiong has three direct sons. Of course, it is impossible to affect any inheritance issues.

Of course, Ma Yixiong couldn't imagine the current situation. Not only did he die, but all three of his legitimate sons died with him. This was obviously a big problem.

In the current Ma family, who should have the right to inherit under normal circumstances? The third son of the Ma family, Ma Hongmin, is unmarried. Didn't he go to Tianfeng Kingdom just to get a real wife? Although Ma Mingyang, the second son of the Ma family, is married, his wife has nothing to do and he also has no heir.

The person who now has the highest inheritance rights is Ma Tianyong's only son, the legitimate son of his legitimate son. He is nominally the best candidate to inherit the Ma family. The only problem is... the legitimate son of this legitimate son is 2 years old this year.

Yes, this is just a baby who has just learned to walk. The so-called Master Shao Guoyu, the current situation is obviously going to cause trouble.

Under this situation, the Tian family and the Yu family naturally became interested.

The daughter of the Tian family married Ma Yixiong early, and now their child is the eldest among the concubines. The Yu family also has a son from a concubine, who is also an adult.

Originally, it was absolutely impossible for these two people to get involved in any inheritance matters because of their concubine relationship, but now, all the direct male members of the Ma family are dead, and the remaining ones are either women or 2-year-old children. This can still stop them. Ambition?

Tian and the two families discussed it and decided to cooperate directly to seize the power of the Ma family. You must know that Ma Yixiong is a feudal official. As long as their son inherits his title, the two families will take off immediately.

The only eyesore now is this 2-year-old child. The inheritance rights must not fall on this kid.

So when everyone in the city was still shocked by the news of the defeat on the front line, they didn't know what to do. At this time, the Tian and Yu families suddenly started to launch a riot.

The Tian and Yu families themselves had quite a few private soldiers. Of course, they called themselves servant guards or something like that, and they numbered several hundred people.

Ma Yixiong naturally knew what was going on, but he turned a blind eye and didn't care at all. After all, there are more than 60,000 regular troops in Yongjin City. What is the use of these private soldiers, who add up to 1,000 people at most?

If you think you feel safe raising such a small number of soldiers, Ma Yixiong will let you raise them. What kind of threat can these militia-level soldiers be, not even the guards of the city lord's palace can defeat them.

Again, Ma Yixiong obviously couldn't imagine the current situation. Under the current circumstances, these troops that he usually looked down upon were really causing big trouble.

At this time, the military camp was already in chaos. After all, there was no leader, and now all the soldiers were panicking to death.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even General Cheng Yutian, who had been following Ma Yixiong in the north and south and experienced many fierce battles, was scared to death.

These 2,000 troops defeated an army of 60,000 people. What kind of devil is the general opposite? He must be possessed by the god of war. Is this a record that a human can achieve?

At this moment, Tianfeng Kingdom's general Dong Ping's reputation could scare the three-year-old child in Yongjincheng to tears, while Linton's reputation could scare away the tears of the child who just cried.

Don't look at it. At this time, Cheng Yutian did gather many soldiers who had fled back, and also pulled up more than 7,000 troops. But these soldiers who were beaten back were now frightened. Not only did they have no fighting ability, but they were also constantly telling the soldiers in the city how powerful the opponent was, causing the morale of the soldiers in the city to drop crazily.

Cheng Yutian couldn't solve the problem for a while, because he was almost scared to death.

He still has to consider a question now, that is, what will he do next?

If you ask him to follow Ma Yixiong, of course he will be loyal to you to the death. If it were Ma Yixiong's son Ma Tianyong, he would be convinced. But if you let him follow a 2-year-old child... Cheng Yutian was more or less reluctant.

Of course, let alone the sons of concubines, is it a shame to support Cheng Yutian? Then why not just take over the army and become the boss yourself, right?

Yes, this general has some other ideas.

Although he has no inheritance rights, he is now the temporary boss in the army. Everyone in the Ma family is dead, so we can't let a two-year-old be the marshal. So at least for a long time afterwards, he should be the actual commander of this army.

Then can he have some ideas? Or... replace it?

But while he was still thinking about what to do, God helped him choose a plan. Because at this moment, a man covered in blood found Cheng Yutian and told him that the only remaining youngest son of the Ma family was in danger.

The Tian and Yu families suddenly launched a rebellion. Ma Yixiong's first wife, Qiu, sent him to ask for help, asking Cheng Yutian to quickly lead troops to quell the rebellion.
