Chapter 204: Internal and External Troubles

After reading the letter, everyone looked at Ma Chao, not knowing what Ma Chao meant by taking out the letter.

After Ma Chao paused, he spoke in a slow tone: "Take out this letter, hand it over to Yishan and Brother Chou, and after Yishan writes and changes some content, he will announce his rule." Then let the Ugly Brother Shadow spread the most accurate rumor, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people under his rule. ”

"My lord, I don't know how this letter is going to be changed?" Yang Fu was puzzled and asked.

"My father used these 5,000 soldiers and horses to enter King Qin, and he died. Doesn't Yishan know about this loyalty? Ma Chao turned around and asked, his tone was neither fast nor slow.

Yang Fu was taken aback, then understood, and replied: "The old lord is worried about the Han family, and he is bent on using Han Fubo as a flaunt. The move of entering the king of Beijing Qin and Kuang to support the Han family, the rule was shaken, how can the subordinates not know? ”

Ma Chao nodded, he was very glad that his subordinates had already had some tacit understanding between the monarchs and ministers after following him for a while.

And Jia Xu and Fa Zheng also nodded, thinking deeply: this move not only stopped the folk rumors in one fell swoop, but also tied the Ma family to the chariot of loyalty and patriotism. As a result, the doctors of the scholar clan will all be restrained by Ma Teng's actions, and the prestige of the Ma family will reach a peak.

It's just that the only consequence is that Dong Zhuo may retaliate against the Ma family. Now although Dong Zhuo is not ambitious and drunk and dreams of death, he will still suppress the prestige that has to do with his survival.

Thinking of this, both of them frowned, not knowing what medicine was being sold in Ma Chao's gourd.

But the ugly brother blamed himself, and bowed down and said: "Lord, the old lord has a force outside the fortress, and the shadow has already found out before. However, he thought that the army was from Dongqiang, and did not follow up and investigate the whereabouts of that unit, which ......"

"Ugly brother doesn't have to blame himself, the blame is also on me at this time. When you reported this, you also thought it was a person from Dongqiang, so you didn't pay much attention to it. After the conquest of the four counties, the shadows were dispatched everywhere, and it was reasonable that they were unable to investigate the matter. Ma Chao waved his hand and asked the ugly brother to get up.

Later, he said: "The death of my father must be related to the imperial court. And my father will not rashly attack Chang'an, there must be someone secretly arranging it. Hua Xin is a key figure in it, but I'm afraid he is only in charge of liaison. I'm tired of all of you, think about what should be going on in the meantime? Or is there any unusual movement in Fufeng in recent days? ”

Speaking of this, Ma Chao glanced at Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji seemed to be thinking about something, seeing Ma Chao's state, he got up and said, "Lord, a strange thing happened in Fufeng County. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhang Ji still seemed a little hesitant, and finally said after thinking about it: "Before the lord set out on the expedition, he secretly ordered his subordinates to take care of Cai Yong's family, but on the third day after the old lord disappeared, Cai Yong wanted to travel with his family, and he was stopped by the lord's order......"

"Hmm..." Ma Chao closed his eyes, knocked on the table, and said, "I know." ”

"The lord, the death of the old lord, although the old man does not understand the details, but looking at the analysis of the general situation, it should be the doctor of the scholar clan in the court, after the failure of the Kanto group of heroes to fight against Dong, he set his sights on the Ma family, which occupies one of the three auxiliary Fufeng. Therefore, the last time the decree was announced, the scholars tried to see an opportunity and sent Hua Xin to Fufeng to learn more. And after Hua Xin learned the lord's intentions, he counted his thoughts on the old lord's head. On the occasion of the lord's expedition to the west, Hua Xin should have gotten some news from the palace and instigated the old lord to send troops. As a result...... "Jia Xu came for the first time and said so much. And the analysis is meticulous, rigorous and not chaotic, which really shows the strength of the old fox.

After Ma Chao listened, he also felt that Jia Xu's analysis was very reasonable. But Ma Chao still has to figure out the details and doubts: Is Cai Yong involved? Did his father die under the conspiracy of the scholars, or was he defeated and killed by Dong Zhuo? What's more, why hasn't there been any movement on the Chang'an side these days? !

And there is only one way to crack this bureau and completely investigate the cause of Ma Teng's death: enter Chang'an!

Ma Chao had already made up his mind, and just as he was making this decision, a guard outside the door came to report in fear: "Young master... Oh no! ”

Ma Chao glanced at the guard, and the guard also noticed that the bigwigs present were quite dissatisfied with him, and hurriedly saluted and said: "The leaders of Dongqiang have a joint letter, asking the young master to send troops to rescue!" ”

"Dongqiang chieftain?" Ma Chao's sad expression immediately turned into anger: This Dong Zhuo is not unresponsive, but he plans to gradually encroach on the Ma family's forces, and then trap the Ma family again. Presumably he also knew that the Ma family was full of mourning soldiers at this time, and if he offended the attack and Fufeng, he was afraid that he would lose more and win less, so he would start with Dongqiang first...... In this way, the Ma family will lose foreign aid, like an eagle with folded wings, and will naturally be trampled by jackals!

"How many troops does Dong Zhuo send? Who is the main general? Ma Chao asked, his heart was already full of anger!

No wonder Zhong Jian, Rigu Deji, Hun Tu, Godot and other people who were friends with Ma Teng during their lifetime did not come to mourn, it turned out that Dong Zhuo was making trouble behind!

"Dong Zhuo??" The guard was dumbfounded, and only after reacting did he say: "This time it was not Dong Zhuo who sent troops to encircle and suppress Dongqiang, but..."

"And what!" Ma Chao secretly exerted his strength, and with a 'click', the desk in front of him was shattered, but the resentment in his heart did not diminish at all.

"Instead, Yan Xing led the Xiqiang tribe to come, with more than 50,000 troops. The Dongqiang tribe was caught off guard, and had no choice but to ask the Ma family for help! ”

"What about You Chu? There are still 10,000 county soldiers under Youchu County, can it be that they are watching the Xiqiang tribe attack Dongqiang? Yang Fu was in a hurry, and he directly called out You Chu's name at the exit, which showed the anger in his heart at this time.

"After You Taishou and Su Taishou learned of the defeat of Dongqiang, they immediately reacted, closed the Hanqiang trading station, and accepted the people of Dongqiang into the city......" The guard replied, it seems that the battle situation on the front line is very urgent.

"Hahaha...... Not bad, not bad! Ma Chao laughed when he heard this, and there was an uncertain arrogance in his expression: "This Yan Xing is really a wonderful person, it seems that he was defeated in a certain hand once, and he still does not repent." You have to die at someone's hands to be willing! ”

"Lord, you want to ......" Fa Zheng couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

"Not bad!" Ma Chao nodded, then looked at Han Feng and said, "Han Feng, immediately notify the arsenal and start equipping the heavy cavalry!" Tomorrow at noon, if you can't see 3,000 heavy cavalry, you are the only one who asks! ”

"Subordinates take orders!" After Han Feng received the order, he immediately bowed down and retired, it seemed that he was going to personally supervise the arsenal to equip the heavy cavalry.

"Pound, Ugly Brother, Ma Dai, the three of you are responsible for reorganizing the part and boosting morale. At noon tomorrow, I want to see a high-spirited Ma family army, and set up generals! ”

"Jia Junshi, Fa Xiaozhi, Yang Yishan!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"The Ministry of Destiny will come up with a combat plan approved by the Ministry of Men before noon tomorrow! After noon, gather at the Ma Barracks and go out with the army! ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Everyone received the order, and just as they were about to retreat and prepare, a man in black covered in blood actually broke in, and shouted: "A certain is the Shadow Nineteen, and I have come to report important military information to the young master!" ”

Seeing that this shadow was so seriously injured, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart, he tried to calm his mind, and asked slowly, "Don't worry...... Don't panic in case of trouble, ugly brother, go to the military doctor quickly! ”

The shadow coughed up a mouthful of blood and squirted into the hall, only to swallow it with a small sound, and Ma Chao flew in front of the shadow and listened attentively.

After a while, Ma Chao's face was gloomy and sad, and he closed the eyelids of the dark shadow and said:

"Dong Zhuo also sent troops...... The general is that person. ”
