The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Ma Chao originally wanted to attack the city immediately, but someone rushed to report him a news, disrupting his plan.

Cao Cao had already freed his hands, so it depends on what Ma Teng's family in Yecheng thinks and how they don't like it. At this time, Xia Houyuan reported that Ma Chao was besieging Jicheng. If you die, let him be fulfilled.So he ordered to kill Ma Teng's family in Yecheng.

Ma Teng, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie... Ma Chao's father and brothers were all spared, only one cousin escaped by luck, that is Ma Dai.

When Ma Chao heard the news, he angrily chopped down the cases in front of him.

Yes, he was not too sad, he was just angry that Cao Cao killed so many of his family members, as if laughing at his incompetence.

Ma Chao decided to retaliate.

Then, Ma Chao attacked the city a hundred times more ferociously than usual, and reached the top of the city several times.

Three months later, Ma Chao sent someone to persuade him to surrender.

Wei Kang has been shaken. He knows that the city cannot be defended, and whether it surrenders or not, the result is the same.

Yang Fu resolutely opposed it. In front of those who came to persuade him to surrender, he said: "Ma Chao is cruel and tyrannical, and he cannot be reconciled with him!"

But what about discord?Those who came to persuade them to surrender vowed: If they surrender and offer the city, General Ma Chao will not embarrass the people in the city. After all, they are all heroes, and General Ma Chao also admires heroes.

Wei Kang decided to surrender.

Yang Fu cried when he heard this decision: "Fu and others led his father, brother and children to encourage each other with righteousness, and there is no difference between death and death; Guard it to the death!"

Wei Kang ordered someone to take Yang Fu down, but Yang Fu grabbed the door frame tightly with his hands and refused to leave. He called out Yan Wen's name: "The assassin would rather forget that Lord Yan is full of family!"

But Wellcome eventually surrendered.

As expected by Yang Fu, Ma Chao turned his face as soon as he entered the city, Wei Kang and other officials were all arrested, including Yang Fu and Yang Fu's cousin Yang Yue.Then Ma Chao immediately started to kill people. Of course, he also moved his mind. He killed Wei Kang and others. Yang Ang, who had been invited to help, did it himself.

When he reached Yang Yue, Ma Dai stopped him in time: "Brother, Yang Yue and Yang Fu are both from the Tianshui Yang family. There are not many aristocratic families in Tianshui, unlike the Central Plains, but they have run Xiliang for several generations and are quite famous. Moreover, the aristocratic families are interconnected and intricate, if we kill Yang Fu and Yang Yue, it is equivalent to offending all the aristocratic families in Tianshui, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold here."

Ma Chao asked Ma Dai, "What do you think?"

Ma Dai said, Yang Yue has military power in his hands, so he can't let him go, so he should be locked up.Yang Fu is just a civil servant, he only knows how to hang book bags, and he does not pose any threat to us. We let him go and let him be an official, and set an example for others.

Ma Chao said that he should not cooperate?

Ma Dai said that it was not too late to kill him at that time, and he was considered famous as a teacher.

Ma Chao really let Yang Fu go, and let him return to his post. Everyone thought that Yang Fu would never accept it. Unexpectedly, Yang Fu knelt down to thank Ma Chao for not killing him, and happily took office.

In secret, people in Jicheng look down on Yang Fu, saying how shameless this man is, it turns out that such a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance is just pretending, he was the one who came up with the idea of ​​sticking to Jicheng, but it was Yan Biejia who died in the city at that time Why didn't he expect Yang Fu to be such a scumbag.Yang Fu would get annoyed when he heard someone say it, and he would definitely fight with that person. As a civil servant, he often suffers, being beaten and kicked, and finally spat on.

When Ma Dai heard about these things, he suggested that Ma Chao support Yang Fu. On the one hand, he would make Yang Fu grateful, and on the other hand, he could isolate Yang Fu so that he could only rely on Ma Chao.Ma Chao felt that it was unnecessary. He hated Yang Fu, and he was very happy to see Yang Fu suffer.

Not long after, Yang Fu asked Ma Chao for leave, saying that his wife Jiang had passed away a few years ago, and now that the situation was stable, he wanted to send his wife's coffin to the ancestral grave in Licheng.

Ma Chao did not suspect him, and Ma Dai felt strange: "The coffin of my wife has been here for eight months? Why has it been so long?"

Yang Fu replied calmly: "At that time, the situation was unstable, so I had to find an acupoint temporarily as an expedient measure. Now that the situation has eased, it is appropriate to rebury it."

Ma Dai couldn't tell what was wrong, but he always felt something was wrong.

When Yang Fu arrived in Licheng, the first thing he did was not to take care of his wife's funeral, he went directly to the house of his brother-in-law Jiang Xu.

The Tianshui family are all acquaintances, the Yang family and the Jiang family are not only related to each other by marriage, Yang Fu was raised by Jiang Xu's family when he was a child, and his marriage to Jiang Xu's younger sister was also settled long ago.For Yang Fu, Jiang Xu is like his brother, and Jiang Xu's mother is like his mother.So he came directly to see Jiang Xu and Jiang's mother, Jiang Xu was very happy to see him: "Yishan came just in time, there is a guest..."

Yang Fu didn't listen to Jiang Xu's words at all, and when he saw Jiang Xu's face, he started to cry bitterly.

Jiang Xu was stunned: "What is Nair?"

Yang Fu recounted what happened in Jicheng, especially when it came to the tragic death of Yan Wen's family, the governor of Liangzhou and the prefect who also died by accident: "The defense of the city cannot be finished, and the king cannot die. How can the world be judged by Ma Chao's back! The father betrayed the emperor and tortured and killed the generals of the state. Isn't it the responsibility of Du Fu, and the scholar-bureaucrats of the state are all ashamed. The emperor supports the autocracy of the soldiers and has no intention of seeking evil. This is why Zhao Dun wrote the book of killing the emperor. He is super strong but unrighteous, and he is easy to provoke Tull."

Jiang's mother was shocked when she heard this, she looked at Jiang Xu: "There is such a thing! The old woman doesn't know! You eat the king's salary, how can you be with rebellious officials and thieves!"

Jiang Xu quickly apologized: "All the cities in Xiliang follow Ma Chao. Xu is afraid of harming the people in Licheng, so he has to bow down for the time being and ask his mother to forgive him."

Mother Jiang was furious on the spot when she heard Jiang Xu's confession, and hit Jiang Xu's head with the crutch beside her hand: "Nizi! Nizi!"

Yang Fu hastily wiped away his tears, and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Mother, don't blame the elder brother. She said that she was going to restore the city, but she also stooped to be a thief. Let's talk about the current plan: I am very arrogant, and I often ride out of the city lightly, so that everyone can think of it as foreign aid and internal response. If it enters the city, things can be done.”

Jiang's mother strictly ordered Jiang Xu to follow Yang Fu's plan, and Jiang Xu retreated only.

Mother Jiang returned to the back hall, so Jiang Xu sat down and finished what he hadn't finished at the beginning: "Yishan, there is a distinguished guest at home today, you must see him!"

Yang Fu was very surprised: "Who is it?"

Jiang Xu was very excited: "I asked someone to bring him here. This man is a nephew in my family. Although he is young, he has a lot of knowledge. His father died early, and his mother taught him books. He was ten years old. , both civil and military."

Before he finished speaking, someone led a young man in. Yang Fu took a closer look. This young man had red lips, white teeth, clear eyes, and was wearing a khaki-colored lotus-patterned train, neat and tidy.

"This is the son of Jiang Jiong, my elder brother. His name is Jiang Wei, and his style name is Boyue. Boyue, this is Yang Yishan in Jicheng. You can call him your uncle."

Jiang Wei looked at Yang Fu: "Could it be that guarding the city of Ji and rejecting Ma Chao's Yang to work? Wei Jin is lucky to see his face!" After speaking, he bowed down and saluted.

Yang Fu also felt that it was rare for a ten-year-old child to be polite and serious like an adult.

After taking his seat, Jiang Xu talked about the matter of Jicheng, and asked Jiang Wei's opinion seriously: "Does Boyue think this plan is feasible?"

Jiang Wei's young eyebrows twitched: "You missed the plan. In the past, Ma Chao surrounded the city of Ji. The enemy was strong and we were weak. According to the law of war: if the number is large, the enemy will be divided; if the enemy is small, he will be able to fight. Then you can avoid it. You can neither separate the superpowers to divide them, nor do you have the brave generals to fight against them. If you defend the city, you can't escape, and if the superpowers attack you, you can't avoid it. The loss of the city is also counted."

Jiang Wei's analysis made Yang Fu respectful immediately. If he can analyze well, he can't underestimate the opponent because of his age.

"Yang Zong said that it is very good to cooperate with the inside and the outside. However, there is one thing that needs to be cautious again and again: because Ma Chao is brave, he is not allowed to enter Jicheng. He must find another place. Yang Zong must make preparations early."

Yang Fuxin said that this seems unnecessary and difficult to do. The cities of Xiliang all support Ma Chao. He cannot go back to Jicheng. There are many places he can go. What should I do to prepare?Besides, I just want to take back Jicheng and avenge the victims, other cities, let's talk about it at that time.

Yang Fu didn't know that Jiang Wei was worried, so he could only vaguely express his remonstrance, saying that it was "somewhere else". In fact, there was only one city that Yang Fu really needed to pay attention to.

In September, Jiang Xu and Yang Fu attacked Ma Chao. Ma Chao led his troops out of the city. Ma Dai planned to stay and defend the city. Ma Chao felt that he was too careful and didn't take it seriously.Ma Dai said several times, but Ma Chao ignored him, so he reluctantly followed Ma Chao out of the city.

The Ma brothers left Jicheng on the front foot, and Yang Fu and Jiang Xu captured Jicheng on the back foot and released Yang Yue.

Ma Chao was rewarded and returned to the army in anger.

Yang Fu watched Ma Chao yelling and cursing from the top of the city coldly, thinking to himself, Ma Chao, you also have today.

Yang Fu turned his head and ordered Ma Chao's wife and children to be brought to the city.

"Yang Fu, what do you want to do?"

What do you want?Yang Fu sneered, don't you know?

"You remember Yan Bojian?" A knife slashed Ma Chao's eldest son's neck, his head and body were separated, and they fell down Gaocheng together.

Ma Chao saw his eldest son's head smashed against the city wall in different places, and his young body was almost shattered.His eye sockets looked like they were about to burst.

"You remember his wife Xu Shi?" A knife slashed on the back of Ma Chao's wife, and he also fell off the wall.

Ma Chao heard the sound of bones breaking.

"You remember his son?" Ma Chao's youngest son has been crying since he went to the city, but his crying stopped abruptly at a certain moment, and he fell between his mother and elder brother.

"Do you remember the governor, the prefect, and everyone in the city!"

All the people in Ma Chao's mansion were pushed off the top of the wall by the soldiers, screaming one after another, and then fell silent.

For more than a dozen seconds, the only sound that could be heard above and below the city was the sound of the flag being blown by the wind.

Then Ma Chao let out a loud roar, raised his spear and was about to charge towards the city gate.

It was Ma Dai who hadn't lost his mind yet. He held on to Ma Chao's horse reins: "Brother! We don't have enough soldiers now, we can't win! And Xia Houyuan has already dispatched troops! We can't fight with the opponent here!"

Ma Chao has not recovered from the rage, but his IQ is still there: "Do you have a better idea?"

"Go to Licheng!"

In September, Ma Chao invaded Licheng.

The first thing he did when he entered Licheng was that Ma Chao was going to massacre the city.

Ma Dai knelt in front of Ma Chao and said bitterly: "Brother, don't do it! We are in a difficult situation at this time. If we slaughter the city and stir up civil uprisings, we will have no place to stand! Xiahouyuan's soldiers are coming, where can we live?"

"Yang Fu killed my wife and children, how can I swallow this tone!"

"Brother!" Ma Dai pleaded earnestly, "I will solve my grievances by myself. I only seek revenge from Yang Fu and others, and those who have nothing to do with it, let them go!"

For Ma Chao, this was barely acceptable.

But Yang Fu's family members are not in Licheng.

Ma Chao remembered that it was Jiang Xu who raised troops with Yang Fu.

Jiang Xu and Yang Fu are still relatives by marriage.

Ma Chao ordered someone to bring Jiang Xu's mother.

When the old lady was brought in, Ma Dai had a hard time persuading Ma Chao to suppress the anger: "Brother, you can persuade the old man well, and let her write a letter of persuasion to Jiang Xu."

But as soon as Jiang's mother saw Ma Chao, she cursed: "You are a rebellious son who betrayed his father, and a thief who killed the emperor. How can the world tolerate you for a long time, and you will not die early. How dare you look at people with your face!"

Furious, Ma Chao pulled out his sword from his waist and stabbed Mother Jiang to death.

It was too late for Ma Dai to stop, and it was too late to regret.

Xia Houyuan's soldiers finally arrived (God knows what he has been doing before), Yang Fu and Jiang Xu joined forces with them and approached Licheng.

So Yang Fu had the opportunity to fight Ma Chao face to face. This was a hand-to-hand combat with red eyes on both sides. Yang Fu wanted to avenge those who died in Jicheng, but he didn't talk about his anger at Ma Chao's wife and children; To avenge his two youngest sons, he didn't feel that the death of Yan Wen's family had anything to do with him.

No one realizes that this is a tragedy, and that this tragedy has something to do with them.

In the end, Yang Fu was injured in five places, and the Yang family lost seven children in the process; but Ma Chao's loss was obviously greater. Yang Ang helped him and completely gave up Xiliang, the base where he started, and went to Zhang Lu.

No one doubted that if Yang Fu still had a chance to meet Ma Chao, it must be the rhythm of the dead again.This is an unsolvable ring of hatred, and it must be killed until one party completely loses its children and grandchildren.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to Jiang Wei for launching the package.

Regarding the hatred between Yang Fu and Ma Chao, the author is based on historical facts and is not exaggerating.So the author draws a conclusion from it: the Lord of History is very fair, and the way of heaven is to damage more than give.It was his fault that Ma Chao started the killing. Yang Fu wanted to avenge the people in the city.But whoever has a grudge, who do you turn to? Yang Fu took Ma Chao's wife and children to vent his anger. In essence, he was killing indiscriminately and indiscriminately like Ma Chao, so he also committed a crime. Heaven needs him to pay back, and the next thing is It’s a nightmare—you kill me and I kill you... In fact, Mr. History is very earnest. He has repeatedly reminded people to pay attention and restrain themselves. However, people are trapped in the world of mortals and just don’t listen.Ma Chao and Yang Fu are like this at this time, so why not the Cao family and the Sima family?

Fortunately, Ma Chao jumped out later - he changed in the later period, deeply reflected on his original responsibilities, and regretted his ignorance at the beginning. It can be seen from the above table he gave to Liu Bei. When he wrote about Cao Cao who directly killed his relatives , the address is "Meng De", not "Cao thief".As for how he changed... Let's listen to the next chapter.
