The purpose of the rebellion is to make things big, and then attract His Majesty's attention to it, so as to facilitate their calm layout in Luoyang.

If this is the case, then the possibility of him being able to clear the monarch's side is almost zero. He mistakenly made the enemy wrong from the very beginning, and even became the enemy's accomplice.

For a moment, the whole person's expression darkened, like a salted fish that had lost its ideals.

Chapter 353 Please Brother Shoucheng Help Me

"The current situation in the court, who wins and loses, has not yet been known, but what is certain is that His Majesty obviously does not have the advantage. Going to Luoyang at this time is nothing more than muddying the water, but with our background, we can't beat those old foxes. .” Liu Tao looked at Ma Teng.

Paused, gave Ma Teng time to digest the words, and then continued: "It is only certain that if His Majesty wins in the end, then you and I will have room to play, and I will recommend you to Your Majesty; if the family wins , then it is certain that His Majesty will not be able to keep it..."

"Then... what should I do?" Ma Teng looked at Liu Tao eagerly, perhaps because the person in front of him said he would recommend him.

Clan of the Han Dynasty, General of Zhenbei, Prefect of Yunzhong, Marquis of Duting.People with these identities, if they are willing to recommend him, not to mention that he can be reused after successfully becoming an official, as long as he can make him commit trouble and forget the past, then he will be satisfied.

"This involves a problem, that is, even if His Majesty dies, it is impossible for the aristocratic family to replace him directly. They can only support the young emperor, and then find opportunities to do Wang Mang's affairs." Liu Tao analyzed, "This time may be three to five years. , maybe more than ten years. At this time, it is the best time for us to enter Luoyang, the Qing emperor's side!"

"Us?" Ma Teng seemed to realize something.

"It's too far in the cloud. If you go all the way south, you will inevitably encounter many obstacles. Moreover, it is easy to be unilaterally calculated by treacherous officials. On the other hand, what if the two armies are on the side of the emperor?" Liu Tao first gestured a finger, and after explaining, he compared up two fingers.

"The treacherous minister must divide his troops to deal with it!" Ma Teng probably guessed the result.

"Haha, Brother Shoucheng still doesn't understand." Liu Tao smiled, and at the same time changed his address to Ma Teng inadvertently, "There are already two groups of soldiers and horses fighting against the Qing emperor, so there won't be a third group and a fourth group. ?”

There is a person who takes the lead, and then there is a person who responds. Among other things, Chen Wang and Liu Chong will probably respond with troops.After the three parties stand up, more people will naturally respond.

From the time when Dong Zhuo came to power, to when the [-] princes challenged Dong, even if it was a show, or participated in name, or there were no [-] princes in history, but the fact that the heroes challenged Dong did not change.

In fact, at that time, if Ma Teng could raise troops in Liangzhou and then threaten Sanfu, it would be hard to say whether Dong Zhuo would dare to retreat to Chang'an.Anyway, it is certain that some soldiers and horses need to be left behind to resist Ma Teng's attack.

How about adding Liu Tao along the way, and even Liu Chong with a hundred thousand troops?Maybe if everyone works hard for a while, Dong Zhuo will really be eliminated, and then... then naturally Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, will become the general, and then sit on the court, and finally be the next Dong Zhuo!

Everyone is not stupid, so they naturally saw the result. They worked hard to beg for Dong, but they didn't get much advantage. If they continued to fight, they would still benefit Yuan Shao, so why fight? After realizing this, everyone retreated.

Even Yuan Shao himself has already planned to go back to manage his own territory, and then simply support the Marquis of Hefei, or Liu Yu as the new emperor. Anyway, a puppet, the main thing is to give him the final seat.

"So that's the case, then... what should Ma do?" Ma Teng knew very well that Liu Tao had talked so much with him, so he must have something to explain to him.

"I hope...you can become the governor of Liangzhou, or even the shepherd of Liangzhou. It's fine to be a general Zhengxi, even without a title, but it's no problem to actually control Liangzhou!" Liu Tao officially showed his cards.

"General Liu, what is the difference between what you are doing now and what Han Sui said?" Ma Teng was not stupid, he could naturally sense Liu Tao's thoughts, so he asked back.

"The biggest difference between me and him is..." Liu Tao pointed to himself, "I'm a Han clan, even if one day, I get the throne from the puppet emperor's nephew, the world is still a big man, still Surnamed Liu!"

Speaking of this, I can't help but start to feel emotional: "Since Emperor Guangwu returned to the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty and the Emperor died early. Since then, the throne seems to have been cursed. No emperor can live past forty. At the same time, eunuchs and relatives, almost Taking turns to come to power, the big Han gradually declined. And starting from Emperor Huan, the gentry also began to come to power, so there were two "party bans" successively."

Ma Teng was thoughtful. He didn't know much about history, but he had experienced the two periods of Emperor Huan and Jinshang, so he could feel this change.In the nearly 400 years since the Han Dynasty, only Emperor Huan and Jinshang were in power before there was a "party ban".

Now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't the two majesties who fainted, but the gentry finally jumped out unwilling to be lonely.

"Now the two princes, the eldest son is only eleven this year, and he grew up in the gymnasium since he was a child, adhering to the ways of Huang Lao. However, up to now, Huang Lao's way can no longer save the big man! The prince Xie is six years old. I don’t understand, suddenly ascending to the top position is just a puppet of a powerful minister..." Liu Tao said with emotion, "It can be said that it is like an endless loop. If it is not broken, then there is almost no hope for a big man to rejuvenate!"

Then he pointed to himself, and continued: "I intend to break this cycle myself, and Sanxing Yanhan! Brother Shoucheng, I hope you can help me!"

Ma Teng may not have noticed at all, but after entering this time, Liu Tao was wearing a 'diplomat's cloak'.I just feel that Liu Tao is much more pleasing to the eye than before.

So he said so much, there is a certain probability that he can convince Ma Teng and make him feel reasonable.The deduction principle itself is reasonable, and it also has the effect of this treasure.

"I want to ask..." Ma Teng looked at Liu Tao, "How can you guarantee that you will be able to rejuvenate Yan Han in the future instead of becoming the next foolish king?"

"First of all, I sincerely hope that the great Han will rejuvenate. It was for this purpose that I raised the army." Liu Tao replied, "Secondly, I have already started to make a series of reforms. These reforms have been tried out in the cloud, and will continue in the future. Promote it to the whole country. So if I have the ability to Sanxing Yanhan, Brother Shoucheng can go to the cloud to see it and experience it.”

After a pause, he continued: "Brother Shoucheng thinks there is a problem, then we can sit down and discuss it. I promise, no matter who I am, I will treat you like a best friend and respect you!"

"The general is talking about this, so how could Ma be ignorant of flattery?" Ma Teng sighed, stood up and saluted, "But there is an assignment, and Ma Teng is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse! He will go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants!"

"Brother Shoucheng, thank you for making such a decision." Liu Tao went over immediately and helped him up.

"So, what should my subordinates do now? Or, what should I do to become the governor of Liangzhou, or even the shepherd of Liangzhou?" Ma Teng asked further. At this moment, he already regarded himself as Liu Tao's subordinate.

"Simple, in the next few days, I will give you the right to move freely. You secretly discuss the riot with Ma Chao, find an opportunity to escape with your subordinates, and return to Han Sui... Brother Shengshoucheng must be careful, even if He calls you brother and brother, and he will give you a behind-the-scenes at any time... If there is a chance, he should be beheaded!" Liu Tao said slowly.

Chapter 354 Arrival of the Main Force

If I remember correctly, Ma Teng deducted Ma Chao, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu's three sons, and strictly speaking, he still has two sons.One was sent to Cao Cao as a hostage in the early days, and the other was killed by Han Sui after falling out with Han Sui.

The relationship between Han Sui and Ma Teng even reached the level of brothers and sisters during the honeymoon period.After turning his face, he not only killed Ma Teng's wife and children, but also Yan Xing even killed Ma Chao during the war.Speaking of which, although Yan Xing is currently following Han Sui, he should not have become his son-in-law. Maybe Ma Teng can fight for it...

"That's how it is... It is indeed feasible to pretend to escape. The problem is that Han Sui will still be suspicious." Ma Teng thought about it, and felt that this method was feasible, but it was not safe.

"The only ones who know about the riot are you and Ma Chao. As long as you don't expose, the other soldiers will be chased by us during the riot. Naturally, they will tell Han Sui all this. There are so many people who have testified for you. Even if you doubt it, so what? You are not his subordinate, so there is no need to worry about him..." Liu Tao explained immediately.

After all, he didn't expect Ma Teng to go back and continue to rely on Han Sui, but as a force, he gradually took control of the military power.

"I see, my subordinates are taught..." Ma Teng obviously regarded himself as Liu Tao's subordinate, and the verbal address was actually worthless, but it could bring the relationship between the two closer.With the current relationship and identities of the two parties, he has no way to have an equal dialogue with Liu Tao.

Another point is that he was indeed persuaded by Liu Tao.The recent Han emperors seem to be unable to escape the reincarnation of the dispute between relatives and eunuchs. If this is the case, then at least they can maintain a certain stage of stability.

As the gentry also began to join, the problem became much more serious.The biggest feeling is that in the 30 years since Emperor Huan to the present, the situation of the big man has become worse and worse, and the rate of deterioration has exceeded the previous 60 years.

Perhaps, the time has come for the big man to stand up after breaking down. Ma Teng is a Hanchen, and he can only be a Hanchen. After all, he shoulders the "mission" of washing away the humiliation of his ancestors.But he is also young, and younger means more radical.

In the end, it was the 'diplomat's cloak' on Liu Tao, which somehow made him feel a little more fond of Liu Tao.At the same time, what attracted him was Liu Tao's surname, bloodline and identity.

He preliminarily approved of Liu Tao's idea, and at the same time he understood one thing better: To change the world, one must first have military power!

For the next two days, although Ma Teng was alone in the camp and separated from the other captured soldiers, he had an hour of 'relaxing' time every day.Taking advantage of this opportunity, he 'secretly' got in touch with Ma Chao.

Finally, in the early morning of the third day, a "riot" broke out in the entire prison camp. More than 20 captured thieves robbed about [-] horses and left the camp quickly.

On the way, they chased with the 'chasers', left more than 300 people behind, and finally escaped smoothly.A few days later, half-starved and half-fed, they successfully joined Han Sui's tribe.

At that time, Ma Teng hadn't eaten properly for at least three days, and at the same time he had several wounds on his body. Seeing this, Han Sui learned a little about what happened, and then sent someone to treat him and bring him meals.

In any case, the return of these [-] soldiers could make him a little tougher.Bian Zhang became more and more presumptuous, and if he continued, he could only find a way to get rid of him in advance, but it was a risky thing to do so.

If you are unlucky, if you fail to get rid of the opponent, you may get in first.

"I didn't expect you to be so lucky... No, if you're lucky, you won't be captured..." Han Sui looked at Ma Teng.

"The officers and soldiers can ride and shoot, not the ones who stop and shoot, but the ones who shoot while riding. What's rare is that the shooting is very accurate, and the arrows are very powerful. I have suffered from this aspect Lost." Ma Teng sighed.

"Then Liu Tao, can he train cavalrymen who gallop and shoot at the same time? If so, it is indeed a big threat!" Han Sui was taken aback when he heard this, and then he became relieved, "Then how did you escape?"

"This is all thanks to my son Ma Mengqi. He originally planned to do that, so he contacted me privately, hoping that I would pay attention to the situation in the camp so that I can escape easily. On my side, for an hour a day, I will be taken Get out of the tent and go to Liu Tao's camp. He really hopes to know the situation in Liangzhou, especially some news about Qiang Hu, although I don't know, what he knows and what to do..." Ma Teng replied.

To put it simply, he took advantage of these two opportunities to see the environment clearly, and then told Ma Chao that the latter rioted with the prisoners, and then everyone escaped together.
