"mean……"

The three of them looked angry, this Zhao Yun was really immoral, he would do anything to trap them.

"Abandoning the war horses and going to the mountains in the north, we will detour to Pingcheng."

"Abandoned the horse?"

Zhang Yang and Hao Meng looked at Zhang Liao in horror. If they abandoned their horses, it would take at least four or five days for them to return to Bingzhou, and it was still north of Yanmen County.

This is very far from Hedong County, and the distance is too far to have to be five or six hundred miles.

Zhang Liao said helplessly: "There is only one way right now, if you are trapped here to die, not to mention the horses, the soldiers are all theirs."

"Then follow the general's arrangement."

Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Liao's soldiers, abandoning their horses and heading for the mountains in the north, with a strange smile on his lips.

"Come here, take the horse away and send it to Ji County!"

"promise!"

With Zhang Liao gone, only Gongsun Du was left to deal with in Youzhou, and the lord's mission was successfully completed.

This battle lost more than 2000 people, killed more than 900 enemies, and captured nearly [-] horses.

This is definitely a big win for them.

What's more, Zhang Liao's roads are all steep and rugged. Even if he can reach Yanmen County, at least a layer of skin will be peeled off.

Zhang Xiu and Qi Zhou led an army into the city, and Zhao Yun met his brother Zhang Xiu.

"Brother!"

"Little brother"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhao Yun said: "The lord has an order. From now on, the defense of the Daijun will be entrusted to you two. Zhang Xiu will be the prefect, and Qi Zhou will be the prefect!"

"promise!"

Zhao Yun continued: "Master Bus Dai, Banshi needs to be expanded, and the two of you need to build Banshi into a grand pass between Daijun and Bingzhou."

"The last general takes orders!"

"My lord will send craftsmen and farmers here as soon as possible to help you build it."

Zhao Yun left [-] cavalry for the two, and led the soldiers back to Ji County, Guangyang County.

Chapter 241 Ma Chao escaped from Meiwu, Dong Zhuo was in a panic

When Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Tie came to the east gate, they were instantly dumbfounded. The crowds here were all soldiers of the Xiliang Army.

Ma Tie whispered: "Brother, what should we do if we are recognized?"

They are still wearing Dong Zhuojun's clothes now, unless Dong Zhuo names them according to the song, it is impossible to recognize them.

After a while, Dong Zhuo came to the east gate under the protection of the flying bear army.

Dong Zhuo glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "I know that Ma Chao is among these people. I will give you half an hour to find your team in units of song."

A young general stood up behind Dong Zhuo, and shouted loudly: "All generals and schools above Qu Zhang, come out and stand up!"

Ma Dai said eagerly, "Brother, what should we do?"

They don't know any of these people, and they will definitely reveal their secrets by then.

Ma Chao thought for a while and said: "Just find a team to stand in first, and then play by ear."

When the three of them were about to walk towards a certain team, they suddenly felt a push from behind, and only heard the person behind say: "What are you three doing, our trilogy is over there, it's really useless, your own song director I don't even know each other."

When Ma Chao and the others heard this voice, they were stunned. Is there anyone else to help them at this time?

Ma Chao turned his head and found that this person was the leader of the team he met at the west gate. Ma Chao glanced at this person suspiciously and followed him to his step.

The three of them looked at the remaining soldiers who hadn't found the team, and they felt amused. Seeing that the time was approaching, some of them were running around in a hurry, crying for their father and mother.

Dong Zhuo saw that there were less than 1000 people left in the team, and he shouted angrily: "Take all these people down and interrogate them strictly."

"promise!"

"Forgive me, Xiangguo, I am not Ma Chao, my name is Wang Chao... woo woo woo!"

"Xiangguo, I forgot what Qu Chang looks like."

"Xiangguo, I'm new here..."

All of a sudden, the team was in chaos, and Dong Zhuo completely ignored it.

After these people were forcibly taken down, Li Rufu whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear, "Father, these teams that have stood up must be strictly checked!"

"Well, you are responsible for this!"

"promise!"

Then Li Ru began to ask people to check the roster step by step. Although there were not all the people recorded in the roster, they could all be checked, and they would be further screened at that time.

"It's water..."

"It's water..."

"The granary is on fire..."

"Hurry up and put out the fire..."

At this critical moment, the granary in Meiwu City suddenly caught fire.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were startled, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

The firefighters acted very quickly, because they had already divided into teams in advance, and the efficiency was very high.

The fire was quickly extinguished. Dong Zhuo looked at the burned grain and grass, and he was very fortunate in his heart. The loss was not much, and most of it was horse fodder.

"Li Ru, go and find out who set the fire?"

Li Ru replied: "Father, this is not easy to handle. Just now we gathered all the soldiers at the east gate, and there must be fish that slipped through the net. We took the opportunity to make trouble and help Ma Chao and others get out of trouble."

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "I changed all the guards at Meiwu. Few people noticed when they sneaked into Meiwu. What's the use of them?"

After a while, a captain guarding the city ran up to Dong Zhuo in a hurry, sweating profusely and said:

"Report, Your Majesty, Ma Chao and his two subordinates took advantage of the chaos to kill the guards on the city wall and fled. General Li Su has already led his soldiers to chase after him!"

"what?"

Dong Zhuo hesitated, pulled out the saber from his waist, put it on the guard captain's neck, and asked, "How can I escape? The city wall of Meiwu is five feet high."

The captain of the city guard replied with trepidation: "Your Majesty, Ma Chao prepared the rope in advance, killed dozens of city wall guards, and went down the rope."

"Pfft!"

Dong Zhuo killed him with a knife, can this make people escape?

"Is our defense just paper? You eat so much food every day, don't you have a little brain?"

Dong Zhuo killed several soldiers in a row, then looked at Li Ru and said, "Li Ru, tell Li Jue and Guo Si immediately to let them give up attacking Lu Bu and attack Ma Teng instead."

Li Ru persuaded: "Father, you must not let the two generals Li Jue and Guo Si leave Chang'an too far as soon as you ascend the throne."

Dong Zhuo was almost confused by Ma Chao's anger. After he calmed down, he quickly ordered: "Let Li Jue be stationed in Hedong County, and Guo Si lead the army back to Chang'an."

"promise!"

"After I ascend the throne, I will destroy Ma Teng."

After the three of Ma Chao escaped from Meiwu, they didn't dare to return to Chang'an. They only picked up the high mountains and walked along the way to avoid the pursuers.

Ma Dai reminded: "Brother, our assassination of Dong Zhuo has been revealed. Uncle doesn't know about it yet. If Dong Zhuo takes the opportunity to attack uncle, what should we do?"

Ma Chao sighed: "Right now we can only flee back to Xiliang first, and then make plans. I was too impulsive and hurt uncle. I am sorry to the ancestors of the Ma family!"

Ma Chao hugged Ma Dai with a face full of remorse, and Ma Dai couldn't say anything, after all, the risk was not small, and he had already thought of the worst outcome when he acted.

Ma Tie said: "Brother, we must investigate this matter and find out who is behind it."

They weren't exposed at all, they were betrayed by another group, but they didn't know who it was.

Ma Chao frowned and said, "Could it be Yan Xing?"

Chapter 242 Suspicion of Ma Family Father and Son

Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao in horror, and hurriedly asked, "Why would you say that, brother?"

Ma Chao explained: "Our actions are very secretive, and our identities have not been revealed. How did the other party know our names? And if our actions fail, Dong Zhuo will definitely implicate his father. Isn't it Han Sui who will benefit the most? "

Yan Xing was Han Sui's son-in-law, and Ma Chao felt that Han Sui must have secretly ordered Yan Xing to sabotage them in order to profit from it.

Ma Tie agreed: "I think what my brother said is right. Han Sui has long been dissatisfied with his father, and he is the biggest suspect."

Ma Chao continued: "We don't know when Yan Xing arrived in Chang'an, and they didn't take the initiative to contact us. They must be observing our every move in the dark."

Ma Tie said: "Moreover, Yang Fu was recommended by Han Sui. He never offered any advice for us, and kept us waiting for notice."

Ma Chao and Ma Tie each said a sentence, and the analysis was clear and logical, and Ma Dai who listened to it was convinced.

Ma Dai said angrily, "Go back and tell Uncle, and lure Han Sui to his tent to capture and kill him."

Ma Chao panicked and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. Han Sui planned this matter, but my father didn't know about it. He definitely wouldn't suspect Han Sui. If Han Sui was against my father, my father would definitely not be on guard."

"We have to go to Bingzhou as soon as possible and tell father!" Ma Tie said hastily.

After the three of them discussed it like this, Han Sui's charges were confirmed.

Dong Zhuo sent people to Chang'an to arrest Ma Yi's family members, but except for a dozen servants and soldiers, all of them disappeared.

The angry Dong Zhuo smashed all these traitors' accomplices.

Ma Chao's assassination of Dong failed, and the news of Ma Yi being dismembered by knives, like a storm, spread throughout Sili, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou overnight, and even Yanzhou and Jingzhou received the news.

"Report, my lord, there is an urgent message from Chang'an."

Ma Teng was discussing with Han Sui about the next attack on Bingzhou when a soldier ran in.

Ma Teng took the letter and glanced at it, his face turned pale and he trembled all over.

Han Sui hurriedly asked, "Why is Shoucheng so flustered?"

Ma Teng explained: "Meng Qi acted privately and failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo. He killed Yi Cheng who was attending Dong Zhuo's banquet. The three traitors escaped by chance."

"How is it possible?" Han Sui looked at Ma Teng in disbelief.

Immediately thinking of Ma Chao's character, Han Sui also shook his head bitterly. This kid's character is not stable enough, and he is far behind Cao Shuo.

Han Sui comforted: "Shoucheng, you have to mourn!"

Ma Teng said angrily: "This bastard actually acted on his own, made us fall into a passive position, and even harmed Yicheng, so he still has the face to run away."

Ma Teng tore the letter to shreds, gnashing his teeth with hatred. Seeing that he was about to succeed, he didn't expect that something like this would happen at this juncture.

Han Sui persuaded: "Shoucheng is not the time to be held accountable. We must return to Xiliang as soon as possible. I guess Dong Zhuo will definitely send a large army to attack Xiliang while our rear is empty."

Ma Teng thought for a while and said, "Wen Yue is right. There are only a few young generals guarding the rear. If Dong Zhuo sends generals to attack Liangzhou, they will not be able to resist at all."

Han Sui suggested: "The three of Meng Qi escaped, and they will definitely come to Bingzhou to look for us. How about this, Shoucheng, you lead the army to retreat slowly to prevent Lu Bu from chasing after the situation. I will return to Liangzhou to take charge of the overall situation."

"Okay, Liangzhou will rely on the written agreement first."

After the two discussed it, Han Sui went back to his camp to prepare.

"Report!"

Another urgent letter was delivered to Ma Teng, and Ma Teng hurriedly asked, "Where did you send this?"

"The major general entrusted someone to send it!"

"Trust someone?" Ma Teng looked puzzled, the three of them fled together without leading any soldiers, and Chang'an had no cronies.

"Where's the messenger?"

"Report to my lord, the person has already left!"

When Ma Teng opened the letter and looked at it, his eyelids jumped wildly. There was only one sentence on it.

"Yan Xing sent people to make trouble secretly!"

Ma Teng was thinking about the possibility of this matter. Han Sui and him were sworn brothers, so it was impossible for him to betray him.
