The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Think about it, looked at Bian Zhang and said: "Chief, we have encountered a surprise attack by the Han army here, and we have only 1 people left. If the Han army encircles the east and west again, then we must be attacked by the enemy. For the present plan, we can only leave the Lin Jing County."

"Yes, yes, if Dong Zhuo receives the news, he will definitely send troops to attack!" Bian Zhang felt secretly refreshed when he heard that Han Sui was so obedient, and he readily accepted his proposal.

Bianzhang was originally engaged by the military governor of Liangzhou, and it was a military post.The prestige of the army is higher than that of Han Sui's civil position, so the support of the army is naturally higher.Originally there were Beigong Boyu, Wang Guo and Li Wenhou together to restrain him, so he could only obediently act as a puppet. Now it is only him and Li Wenhou, so the strength of restraint has dropped.

Han Sui had to pretend to be his grandson for a while, and then tried to secretly infiltrate and control the military power. Originally, Ma Teng was the best helper. Get there slowly.Before that, compromise and pretending to be a grandson is a must.

At the same time, I also thought about using Dong Zhuo to see if I could kill Bian Zhang, so I suggested retreating.Otherwise, taking advantage of the news, Dong Zhuo was in a hurry to make a contribution, and an ambush to defeat him would at least improve morale.

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo received the news the next day and hurriedly led his troops to pursue him.At this time, the main force of the thieves had retreated one after another. He chased for thirty miles, and after chasing some small groups of thieves who fell behind, he had no choice but to retreat obediently.

When I returned to the west of Linjing County, I saw the mess and a lot of ashes here, and my heart was very bitter.

With Liu Tao here, he won't earn any military exploits at all, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that the war here will end in about half a year, and there will be no way to reach the agreement with the Yuan Clan by then.

If you can't get the credit, you may have to offend the Yuan Clan. I feel like I have suffered a big loss.But how can it be otherwise?It was agreed that everyone would make a surprise attack together, but Liu Tao defeated 4000 thieves with [-] men. He has been here for so long, and in the end the pursuit captured hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled...

"Looks like I have to talk to Liu Tao. If we continue like this, he will be happy, but I will suffer." Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth, thinking that Liu Tao, the god of plague, must be sent away, otherwise there would be nothing to talk about.

Thinking of this, after returning to the army, I had to write two letters.One was sent to Hedong, and the other was sent to Luoyang.

At the same time, Liu Tao also returned to the barracks early, and sent someone to deliver a letter to Dong Zhuo, telling them the situation here, lest they miss the best time to pursue.

It just has to be said that the thief left very quickly and thoroughly. After Dong Zhuo received the news, he still couldn't catch up.But having said that, after receiving the news, he actually hesitated for two hours, until he received the accurate news, there seemed to be something wrong with the thief, and then he chased after him. It was these two hours that made him miss the best time. opportunity.

In this regard, Dong Zhuo is actually to blame, and he has no one to blame.

After returning to the barracks, Liu Tao had to heal everyone.As far as the previous situation was concerned, there was no need for treatment at all, but he allowed a group of people to go back to roam afterward.Everyone obviously went too far, so they got hurt a little bit, but it was really only a little bit hurt.

It can only be said that the defense is too high, and it is really not easy for others to hurt them.

Liu Tao even lamented that in the future, without considering the issue of governance, he would just go on a rampage all the way. It is estimated that in less than a month, a county could be brought down.Then according to this efficiency, not to mention other roads, his road, it is estimated that he can conquer a state in three months, and he may still be able to do it.

It's just that the foundation is definitely unstable, and there may be gentry or aristocratic families who are dissatisfied with him in every county.Just like Cao Cao, he was about to take Xuzhou down, but because Lv Bu occupied Chenliu, he had to retreat back because Lv Bu occupied Chenliu, and he was about to point his troops at Dongjun, the core of his power. Xuzhou added to the chaos for Liu Bei, who became Xuzhou's shepherd.

This is thanks to Lu Bu's death and burning of Puyang. Although he almost burned to death or captured Cao Cao, it also allowed the Yanzhou family to see his face clearly. With comparison, he naturally felt that Cao Cao was actually okay, so the situation was slowly reversed. .

Liu Tao doesn't mind advancing aggressively, but after learning Cao Cao's lesson, he feels that while advancing aggressively, he also needs to have enough officials to replace and take over the local political power, especially military power, to solve this hidden danger.

Back to the topic, after winning the battle, Lu Bu and the others dispersed, and gathered hundreds of escaped horses and returned.Together with Ma Teng's war horses, the number rose to about [-].

After all, some of the horses in the Ma Teng Department were shot to death by crossbows or arrows when the battle started.

He himself was fine, knowing that it was Ma Teng, Liu Tao specially treated him, using the 'healing technique', allowing him to witness a miracle happen, and at the same time, he had a little more respect for himself.

"It seems that you have answered?" Liu Tao came to Ma Teng after finishing the trivial matters, "After General Fubo and Ma Yuan...Ma Shoucheng, are you now guilty?!"

Chapter 352 Before I Had No Choice

"How do you know..." Ma Teng opened his eyes suddenly when he heard this.He didn't report his family background, but the other party could tell him that he was General Fubo Ma Yuan, and he couldn't believe it for a while.

"Your ancestors were truly loyal people, but when they came to you, they actually committed trouble... Tsk tsk tsk, if your ancestors knew about it, I don't know how it feels." Liu Tao teased.

Seeing that Ma Teng's expression was a bit gloomy, he simply sat in front of him and continued to ask: "Then, why did you commit such a disturbance? How about listening to it? Anyway, you can't do anything else now..."

"Forget it..." Ma Teng was holding back his words at first, and couldn't vomit quickly.

After his narration, Liu Tao and others knew what had happened:

Since Ma Yuan's grandson Ma Kang was involved in the Dou Xian case and was killed, this line has completely lost its power.Ma Kang's great-grandson, Ma Ping (Ma Su in the novel), was originally recommended by his clansman Ma Xu to serve as the county captain of Langan, but he was finally dismissed from office.

Ma Teng was born in a poor state. He had to cut wood from Zhangshan and sell it in the city to make ends meet.Also because of his good looks and ability to fight, he gradually gained a certain reputation among the people.

In June last year, Beigong Boyu rebelled, and Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, recruited warriors to fight against the thieves. Ma Teng was enlisted at that time.Later, he made meritorious service in the battle. He was first promoted to army commander, and then transferred to partial general.

But in January of this year, Geng Bi was killed by his subordinate, the governor of Longxi, Li Shen (the characters on the table are similar).And Li Xiangru also raised troops to respond to the rebels. At that time, Ma Teng was strictly under his command, so he was coerced and joined the rebels.

In fact, he joined for another purpose, which is to find an opportunity to kill Li Xiangru and avenge Geng Bi!

"Brother, this Ma Teng is interesting!" Zhang Fei looked at Ma Teng with great interest when he heard the words, and at first he looked down on this traitor, especially since the ancestor of this guy was still that Ma Yuan.Later, I found out why, and felt that this person was a person who valued love and righteousness.

"It's just that you chose to join the rebel army. Although you took care of your personal friendship, as a rebel, you first lost righteousness. At the same time, your ancestors were originally loyal to the court, and you, as a descendant, turned against the rebellion. It is disloyalty." Liu Tao sighed.

"Ma Mou naturally knows this." Ma Teng looked a little complicated, "After killing Li Shen, I planned to retire, but Han Sui found me and told me that since I have joined the rebels, even if I live in seclusion, the court will investigate.

At the same time, he told me that we went to Luoyang on the side of Emperor Qing, and the court had ten permanent servants who caused chaos in the court, which led to the people's livelihood and the danger of the big man.As long as you can clear the emperor's side, then naturally you can return the Qing Dynasty to the court. "

"Haha, this Han Sui really knows how to say, maybe his purpose is to become the next Wang Mang?" Guo Jia laughed out loud.

"Everyone knows what happened to Huo Guang. When Wang Mang has two or 30 years to live in, why didn't he do it?" Liu Tao asked, "It's all going to die, of course it's a good time to die. After death, why do you care about the flood? monstrous……"

"My lord's words are very true!" Guo Jia nodded in agreement, and felt that the metaphor of "I live or die, let it be a flood" is really appropriate.However, the biggest problem is that Wang Mang did not die naturally, but died in the chaos.

But since he was killed, he has been on the throne for 15 years, and it is not in vain to be an emperor once!

"However, the biggest problem is..." Liu Tao looked at Ma Teng, "You shouldn't be stupid. Is it just an excuse that you still can't hear Han Sui's words? Or, you don't have any worries, so you can rest assured. Fight. Whether it is helping the country or shrouding the corpse in horse leather, are they all the result of your pursuit?"

"........." Ma Teng didn't speak, but it was obvious that what Liu Tao said hit his mind.Whether he was able to clear the king's side in the end, or was killed during the rebellion, it was the result of his pursuit.

He even thought about it, if Han Sui could really clear the emperor's side, if Han Sui showed his true colors at this time, he would not mind beheading him, and then dedicating his head to His Majesty.As for myself, I will leave it to His Majesty.

"You guys go out first... I'll talk to him..." Liu Tao looked at him and motioned to everyone.In fact, the main purpose was to avoid Sun Jian, and this guy came in with him. There are some things that are not suitable for him to know.

When everyone saw this, they were still a little worried. Finally, Zhang Fei said that he would stay, but Liu Tao didn't stop them, so everyone left.

"Ma Teng, let me ask you, are you a Hanchen or a traitor?" Liu Tao asked slowly.

"I didn't have a choice before, Ma just wanted to be a Hanchen!" Ma Teng replied, as a descendant of Ma Yuan, he naturally wanted to honor his ancestors and revive Ma Kang's lineage.If there is any goal, it is natural to hope to see the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the peace and prosperity of the people.

After all, he is no longer alone. The eldest son Ma Chao is eleven years old; the second son Ma Xiu is nine years old, the third son Ma Tie is seven years old, the fourth son Ma Xing is four years old, and the youngest son Ma Ling was just born last year.

Ma Chao was in the army, and Pang De, another subordinate, saw that he was in danger and wanted to rescue him, but he chose to surrender first, so they were both captured.

The process was somewhat tortuous, that is, the two tried to resist, but they were suppressed by Lu Bu and Zhang Fei who rushed over. After all, both of them were still too young... After all, aren’t Lu Bu and Zhang Fei the same young? !

Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and his youngest son Ma Ling were in Maoling's hometown, and this was the reason why he had no scruples.The problem is that the old four horses should still be among the rebels, and I don't know if they are safe or not, and whether Han Sui can help take care of them.

In fact, after becoming Ma Yuan, Ma Teng didn't have many choices. Participating in the rebellion could still be said to be on the side of the Qing emperor. If he became king himself, or joined a certain prince to help the other party become emperor, it would not work.

He himself paid more attention to this. As for after him, Ma Chao, a young man who was born in the age of separatism and competition, would have other ideas, and that was not something he could interfere with.

However, Ma Teng and Ma Shoucheng must be Hanchen, this is absolutely not allowed to change!

"There are indeed traitors in the court at present, but it doesn't make sense who is saying these things now." Liu Tao sighed, "Luoyang has become a battlefield where several forces are fighting for power. Your Majesty counts as one, the nobles count as one, and the military counts as one. , the clans count as one or more. The ten permanent attendants are His Majesty's people, but they also have their own selfishness..."

Liu Tao simply told Ma Teng about the situation in Luoyang. Maybe it was due to lack of information, or because there were many things that he hadn't thought about before.

He didn't even think that the Huangzhong Yi Conghu rebellion might be caused by human beings.However, there were indeed people in the imperial court who contacted Han Sui and provided information. For this reason, the rebels won a series of victories and even avoided several pursuits.
