Chapter 169(2/2)

Situ Wang Yun, who was on the other side, took a breath. In this way, the poisonous plan he offered was probably going to fail. Once Princess Yiyang married Ma Yue, she was afraid that even Dong Zhuo would not dare to act rashly! No matter how arrogant Dong Zhuo was, she would not dare to take the blame for the world at this time.

"Report~~" When Emperor Ling of Han was angry, another messenger broke into the West Garden and went straight to the central army's tent, "Liangzhou urgently reported."

"Liangzhou?" Emperor Ling of Han looked moved and said in a deep voice, "Speak."

The messenger said: "Ma Teng, a fierce general in Liangzhou, raised troops to rebel, and Geng Bi, the general of the Qiang Guardian, and all the officials of all sizes were killed. The Sima Yan Xing of the Central Army led the official army to suppress it, and was also defeated by Ma Teng! Now the rebels have captured Longxian and swept Hanyang. Liangzhou is shocked! The northern part is stable, and the prefect of Wudu sent emergency documents and begging the court to send troops to attack quickly."

"Ma Teng!" Emperor Ling of Han frowned, "Which Ma Teng?"

A court official had already come out to report: "Your Majesty, Ma Teng is also the descendant of the famous general Ma Yuan. In terms of seniority, he is still the uncle of the Ma Yue tribe."

"What? It's the famous general Ma Yuan again, damn it! It's very abominable~~" Emperor Ling of Han was so angry that his face turned pale and he brushed his sleeves and said, "Come on, let's go back to the palace."

Anyi, Dong Zhuo’s mansion.

"Come on the bronze mirror." Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said quickly, "Come on the bronze mirror quickly."

A personal soldier had already brought the bronze mirror with a gaze. Dong Zhuo looked at the bronze mirror and then looked at it. After a while, he nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Come here, please change your clothes for me and put on armor!"

The personal soldiers rushed forward and changed their clothes and put on armor.

While he was busy, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door. A figure flashed afterwards. Yang Feng, the prefect of Hedong who had just joined Dong Zhuo's command, had already stepped inside quickly and knelt down to report: "Lord, Princess Yiyang's car has passed Wushan and will soon arrive in Anyi."

"Is that true?" Dong Zhuo looked up and turned to his personal soldiers, "Move quickly, hurry up."

The two personal soldiers responded repeatedly and hurriedly put on armor for Dong Zhuo.

However, before Dong Zhuo had time to come out to welcome him, his general Niu Fu hurried over and handed a document to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo read it at a glance, and his face changed drastically. He was so angry that he threw Shu Jian on the ground. He couldn't say a word for a long time. Two personal soldiers were about to wear red silk on Dong Zhuo's iron armor, but Dong Zhuo kicked him over and cursed: "Get out!"

Two personal soldiers hurriedly ran away with their heads in their arms.

In less than a moment, General Hua Xiong and Staff Li Su also arrived one after another.

"It's really outrageous." Dong Zhuo pointed to Shu Jian on the ground and cursed, "When did the emperor say that he would give Princess Yiyang to Ma Yue as his wife? It's hateful that Ma Butcher Tian was shameless and even sent documents to inform another thirteen states in the world, saying that the princess drove out of Luoyang to the north to go to Hetao to marry him, which was very hateful."

How could Dong Zhuo not be angry?

Dong Zhuo coveted the beauty of Princess Liu Ming of Yiyang for a long time. When Liu Mingyuan married Jingxiang, Dong Zhuo was disappointed for a long time. This time, things finally turned around. When he thought he could hold the beauty back again, the butcher horse came to run it.

Dong Zhuo originally planned to force the princess car driver to Anyi first, and then whether Liu Ming was willing or not, he was going to force his marriage and get a cheap prince-consort. In this way, Dong Zhuo was considered a royal relative! But now, if Ma Yue disturbed him, things became particularly complicated.

Regardless of whether what Ma Butcher said was true or false, his official documents had been published throughout the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. If Dong Zhuo still insisted on his own, he would not only seize Ma Yue's wife in front of all the world, and would hate Ma Yue for taking his wife, but also be criticized for robbing the princess, seriously blaspheming the dignity of the royal family.

Dong Zhuo must carefully consider the consequences of doing so.

Staff Li Su lowered his voice and said, "Lord, it's not worth it to be a big deal for a woman."

General Niu Fu also advised: "What Mr. Li Su said is very true. As long as the lord takes Liu Han's country and sits on the Longting Court, is there not many beauties? Besides, although the butcher Ma doesn't have many soldiers, they are all tiger and wolf troops who are good at fighting. Why should the lord have to fight for a mere Liu Ming and the butcher Ma?"

Li Su said solemnly: "I hope the lord will think twice."

"Forget it." Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice, "This time I will sell horses and butchers for a face, Niu Fu, you personally lead the army to escort the princess to Hetao."

Niu Fudao: "The last general takes the order."

Dong Zhuo said again: "Li Su."

Li Su said: "The villain is here."

Dong Zhuo said: "Prepare a generous gift for me and send it to Hetao together."

Li Su said: "Abide by the order."

Niu Fu and Li Su had just left, and the infantry captain Fan Chou hurried over again and said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, Liangzhou urgently report."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo looked moved and couldn't wait to say, "Tell me quickly."

Fan Chou said: "After the military advisor returned to Longxi, he spread rumors in the area of ​​Longxian. Geng Bi was indeed trapped and sent a soldier Ma Teng's family to take a custody. Ten days ago, Ma Teng and Geng Bi did have a conflict. Ma Teng rebeled, captured Longxian, and killed Geng Bi and Liangzhou, all the officials of all sizes and big cities."

Dong Zhuoxi said: "Ma Teng is really against him?"

Fan Chou replied: "It really goes against it! The Sima Yan Xing, a central army under Geng Bi, led his army to suppress it, but was defeated by Ma Teng. After that, the military advisors emerged and defeated Yan Xing's remaining soldiers and Ma Teng's rebels in one fell swoop. Now, Geng Bi's 20,000 elite Liangzhou troops are only left with thousands of defeated soldiers, and have already fled into Anding County."

"Okay!" Dong Zhuo said, "Wen Xiu did a good job!"

Fan Chou continued: "The military advisor also said that the army was pursuing Ma Teng's rebels and attacking Anding. The two counties in the north were sent to lead 5,000 light cavalry to attack the Shandan army's horse farm. General Li Kuo had already captured Ji County. Li Kan and General Zhang Heng were splitting troops to attack Jincheng and Wudu County."

"Okay, great!" Dong Zhuo said frantically, "This general had originally controlled Longxi, and now with Hanyang, the four counties of Jincheng, Wudu, Anding, and the northern regions that are about to be obtained, and six counties of the ten counties of Liangzhou will soon be under the rule of this general, and there are hundreds of thousands of military horses in the Shandan Army Horse Farm, hahaha~~"

Fan Chou clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord in the end."

Dong Zhuo laughed and said loudly: "Come here, I will serve you in the pen and ink. I will write to the emperor."

Meiji, Ma Yue Laoying.

Jia Xu hurried into Ma Yue's tent and said quickly: "Lord, Liangzhou urgently reported."

Ma Yue, who was burning around the fire pit, stood up suddenly and said in a low voice: "Tell me quickly."

Jia Xu said: "Half a month ago (five days later than Dong Zhuo learned the news), a rebellion suddenly occurred in Liangzhou. General Ma Teng, the uncle of the lord, raised troops to rebel because his wife and young were killed, led his army to break through Long County, killed Geng Bi and a group of officials of all sizes, and defeated the official army of Yan Xing, the general under Geng Bi. When he was leading the army to chase him, Dong Zhuo's army suddenly arrived and defeated Ma Teng's army."

Ma Yue said anxiously: "What's the situation in Liangzhou now?"

Jia Xu said: "According to the news sent back by me, Ma Teng's army has retreated to Anding County, and Dong Zhuo's army has controlled the four counties of Longxi, Wudu, Jincheng and Hanyang. Moreover, I am worried that this Liangzhou rebellion was planned by Dong Zhuo. If this is the case, Ma Teng's situation will be very bad, and the entire Liangzhou is likely to fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo."

"Damn it!" Ma Yue said, "Dong Zhuo is really good at picking the times!"

Jia Xu said in a voice: "Lord, Xu thought ~~If there is no external force intervention, Dong Zhuo would be able to control Liangzhou in less than two months!"

"Two months? Two months!" Ma Yue said in a deep voice, "But our army's rest has just begun. Before the wheat ripens next year, it is afraid it will be difficult to mobilize the army to fight. Liangzhou is a land of the Han Dynasty after all, and most of the residents of Liangzhou are Han people. We must not treat the people of Liangzhou like they did when dealing with the Xianbei people and the Gogurye people."

"Liangzhou must not fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo. After all, the lord is the governor of Liangzhou who was granted by the imperial court." Jia Xu said anxiously, "And Liangzhou is in a dangerous terrain and the people are fierce. What is still worth worrying is that there are still tens of thousands of excellent military horses in the Shandan Army horse farm. Once this batch of military horses fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo can recruit the Qiang, Di and Hu tribes living in Liangzhou, and thus form an unparalleled Liangzhou army! In this way, Dong Zhuo's strength will be unimaginable, and it may even sweep across Guanzhong, including the three auxiliary soldiers, and no one can defeat him!"

Ma Yue's expression changed again and again, and he remained silent for a long time.

Jia Xu said again: "Lord, now we should try every means to create obstacles for Dong Zhuo to pacify Liangzhou, especially to support Ma Teng's rebels. As long as the Ma Teng's rebels can persist until the wheat in Hetao is ripe, the lord can personally lead a large army to fight against Liangzhou! In this way, it is still unknown who will belong to Liangzhou in the end."

Ma Yue suddenly looked up, stared at Jia Xu burningly, and asked, "Wenhe, in your opinion, can Uncle Teng persist until the wheat in Hetao is ripe?"

"This~~" Jia Xu was suffocated when he heard this, and then sighed for a while, "I'm afraid it's very difficult."

"That's it." Ma Yue said in a deep voice, "Wenhe, quickly summon the generals to come to the big tent to discuss matters."

"Xu receives the order."

Jia Xu leaped over the horse and took the order and left.

Luoyang, Beigong.

The civil and military officials had been arguing in the Deyang Hall for four days, but they still had no result. Emperor Ling of Han insisted on raising an army to attack the rebellion in Liangzhou, but was opposed by the vast majority of ministers. Whether it was the military general or the civil servant, the opinions were surprisingly consistent this time, only the Zhongchang Shi Jingshuo and a few ministers agreed to send troops.

The reasons for civil and military officials are very high-sounding, that is, the national treasury is empty and the deficit is serious, and the court can no longer support a major military operation.

When the king and his ministers were quarreling, the Huangmen Minister suddenly rushed into the Golden Palace and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Jizhou, sent 800 miles of documents from Hedong to expedited."

Emperor Ling of Han shouted: "Remember!"

The Huangmen Minister did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly opened the book and recited loudly: "I am the governor of Jizhou, Dong Zhuo, wishing Your Majesty the Holy Saint, and I was surprised to hear that Liangzhou was rebellious, the soldiers were connected, the people were hanging upside down, and the people were living in misery. As a minister of the Han Dynasty, I was very frightened, and I was worried about Your Majesty's worries and could not sleep at night... The military situation was urgent, so I could not face the saint's confession. I dared to ask the Mu to guard Liangzhou, and lead the Qiang, Di, and Hu people in Liangzhou, and vowed to fight for the rebels for Your Majesty, and return the Han Dynasty to pacify the country. I am Dong Zhuo bowed his head and bowed."

The golden hall was silent, and only the bright voice of the Yellow Gate Minister echoed and rolled in the hall for a long time. The civil and military officials seemed to be frightened, looking at each other and silent. Since Emperor Gaozu established the country and the revival of Guangwu, there has never been a local minister in the Han Dynasty who dared to ask for power from the court so blatantly!

The court route collapsed and reached such a situation. Emperor Ling of Han was cold. After a long time, Emperor Ling of Han suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, left without saying a word, and directly hung the officials on the golden hall. The Zhongchang Shi Fen Shuo then reacted, and swung the whisk in his hand and went forward and shouted, "Today's court proposal ends, all officials stop the court~~"
