427 Liangzhou Rebellion (14)
Beidi County, Niyang City, in the county government hall.
"Big brother, all the YiqiΔ are ready, as soon as the information from Han Sui's side arrives, we can take action immediately." Mullen stood in the hall and said to Ma Rui, who was sitting in the middle, with his fists clenched.
At this time, Ma Rui had already taken control of a qiΔ in Beidi County, and Ma Fei's old department was locked up in a dungeon by Ma Rui, and sent people to contact these people every day.
At this time, Ma Shao arched his hand and said: "Big brother, today more than 100 people have expressed their willingness to follow us to build a great cause together." β
"Great, as soon as Han Sui's news arrives, we will immediately take action, I want to get back a qiΔ that should belong to me, and hang Ma Chao's head high, I see who dares not to obey my orders." Ma Rui said triumphantly.
However, Ma Gang, who had been standing in the hall, didn't say anything, and after listening to Ma Rui's words, he sighed heavily.
Seeing this, Ma Rui asked Ma Gang: "You don't seem to be very happy......
Ma Gang said: "Everyone is from the same clan, besides, Ma Teng's father and son are not thin to us, Ma Teng just left Liangzhou, we united to resist Ma Teng's son, and Han Sui is not a good thing, this person is cunning, scheming, treacherous, we fight ourselves like this, it is actually our own strength that is weakened, and Han Sui will get the benefit of the fisherman." Even if we really overthrow Ma Chao, what benefits will we get in the end? In case Han Sui turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, he turned around and attacked us. How are we going to deal with Han Sui's army? β
Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao were silent. seemed to be thinking about what Ma Gang said in their hearts.
But a moment later. Ma Rui said: "The arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent." It's come to this, and it's too late to regret it. I have already killed Ma Fei, even if I don't kill Ma Chao, after Ma Chao knows about it, he will inevitably come to kill me. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to give it a go. Of course, I am also very aware of Han Sui's treachery. But Han Sui can play yin with us, why can't we play yin with Han Sui? After I kill Ma Chao, I will take the initiative to ask Han Sui to meet, and at that time, we will take action when we meet and take Han Sui down in one fell swoop. As soon as Han Sui died, his subordinates were leaderless, so that we could kill two birds with one stone and become the masters of Liangzhou. If you don't want to follow us in your quest for great things. You can quit, and we will definitely not force you. Anyway, with you and without you, we can all succeed! β
Ma Gang frowned, he knew Ma Rui's methods very well, if he gave up easily, Ma Rui would definitely not let himself retreat. Moreover, Ma Gang was no longer able to retreat at this time, because when he killed Ma Fei, although he had no share, he knew about it in advance. However, at that time, Ma Gang did not take the initiative to inform, which killed Ma Fei.
Even if Ma Gang didn't do this, Ma Chao would know about it in the future, and he would be scolding him, with his understanding of Ma Chao, he would definitely let himself die without a place to be buried.
So, Ma Gang said in embarrassment: "Things have come to this point, and I can only go all the way to the dark." β
At this time, a person walked in from outside the hall, clasped his fists and said, "General Qiyu, there is a person claiming to be Han Cheng outside the door who asks to see him, saying that he has something important to discuss!" β
"Han Cheng? Could it be Han Sui's son Han Cheng? Ma Rui asked suspiciously.
"Big brother, whether it is Han Sui's son or not, you will know at first sight. If it is really Han Sui's son, then let's see what Han Cheng's purpose is here, and if not, kill him directly. "Marendo.
Ma Rui nodded and asked Han Cheng to be brought in, while Ma Lun, Ma Shao, and Ma Gang sat in the hall, and the four of them waited quietly for Han Cheng's arrival.
After a while, Han Cheng was brought into the hall, and Han Cheng, who was dressed as a businessman, immediately hugged his fists and said after seeing Ma Rui: "General Ma, I said goodbye to Jicheng last year, do you remember me?" β
Ma Rui looked at Han Cheng carefully and made sure that it was not someone pretending, so he smiled and said, "Han Gongzi said that he was joking, how could I not know Han Gongzi?" I just don't know why Han Gongzi is here? β
"To tell you the truth, I came here for the fact that General Ma and my father jointly sent troops to eliminate Ma Chao." Han Chengdao.
After hearing this, Ma Rui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why didn't the henchmen I sent out come back?" Even bothered Han Gongzi to make a trip in person? β
Han Cheng said: "For the sake of the two of us, I should go on a trip in person." The henchmen sent by General Ma, when they entered Hanyang County, were targeted by Ma Chao's subordinates, and were seriously injured as a result, if they were not saved by our people in time, I am afraid that General Ma's secret letter will fall into the hands of Ma Chao. That's why my father sent me to Niyang this time, and told me that I must deliver this letter to General Ma. β
As he spoke, Han Cheng took out a well-sealed letter and handed it directly to Ma Rui.
After Ma Rui opened the letter and read it, he immediately asked, "Where is General Han now?" β
"My father has secretly lurked in the territory of Anding, and for the sake of safety, he does not plan to tell General SΓΉ Ma where he is, so as not to make any mistakes. Of course, this is not because I don't believe in General Ma, but because of prudence. Moreover, Ma Chao's army is also very powerful, for fear of being discovered by Ma Chao. β
Ma Rui asked again, "Then how are we going to meet?" β
"My father told me to bring the general over, so that my father would be more at ease." Han Chengdao.
Ma Rui was bent on eradicating Ma Chao, although he was quite surprised by Han Sui's arrival, but this was also what he was most willing to see.
In the letter, "Han Sui" praised Ma Rui first, and then talked about the business, and there is only one general meaning, that is, an interview!
Fortunately, Han Cheng has always been by Han Sui's side and knows the consistent usage of the letters written by Han Sui, and Ma Rui also knows Han Cheng and is sure that this person is Han Sui's son. And he was even more impressed by this person who was about to become his son-in-law, so Ma Rui didn't have any doubts about Han Cheng at all, so he believed it to be true.
However, as Ma Rui's brothers, they were slightly worried, worried that this was Han Sui's trick.
"Why didn't General Han come to Beidi County in person, but let my eldest brother go to him with all the hard work, and he is still stable?" Mullen asked his own inner question.
Han Cheng smiled: "Is there anything else to doubt about this?" My father said that if the meeting place was in Hanyang County, General Ma would definitely not go, and if the meeting place was in Bukdi County, my father would definitely not go. So, my father chose a compromise and decided to take the risk to meet in Anding County. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Moreover, Anding County is right in the middle of Hanyang County and Beidi County, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Ma Chao, and the location is to avoid suspicion between the two families. Moreover, Ma Chao would never have dreamed that his father and General Ma would meet under his nose......"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Rui and the others felt that such an arrangement was the most suitable.
Immediately afterwards, Han Cheng deliberately revealed the reason for this meeting to Ma Rui and others, which made Ma Rui and others even more convinced.
"Okay, Han Gongzi, I will go with you to see Ling Zun today, finalize the matter, and then launch a joint attack on Ma Chao, so that Ma Chao will be attacked by the enemy and fall into a difficult situation, in this way, Ma Chao will definitely be defeated!" Marley Road.
"Yes, I just don't know when General Ma wants to see my father?"
"The sooner the better, it's better to hit the day than to choose the day, it's better to start today, the province has many long nights." Marley Road.
Han Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it today, anyway, my father also wants to see General Ma as soon as possible, and after the interview, you can move on to the next step." β
After Ma Rui and Han Cheng finished discussing, Ma Rui left Niyang City with Ma Lun, Ma Shao and thirty elite attendants, and let Ma Gang stay in Niyang City to guard, for fear that Ma Gang would come with him and ruin their big deal.
So, in the afternoon of the same day, Han Cheng took Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao and others to leave Niyang City together, all the way to the west, in the evening, the group arrived near the Wuqi Pavilion, seeing that it was getting late, Han Cheng took yì to the Wuqi Pavilion to rest for a while, and then went on the road.
Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao and others considered that Han Cheng had come from afar and had not had time to rest in Niyang City, so they left again, so they also felt excusable, so they agreed to Han Cheng's proposal.
So, everyone went to the Wuqi Pavilion to rest together, and when they arrived at the Wuqi Pavilion, Han Cheng borrowed urine to escape, and Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao and others all gathered in the Wuqi Pavilion to rest.
At this time, although it is March weather, there will still be some cold wind in the northwest at night, at this moment the twilight is four, the cold wind rises, blowing the wind and sand all over the ground, and in the woods around the Wuqi Pavilion, there are also bursts of crows chirping from time to time, this situation and this scene, to appear very desolate.
"Han Cheng peeed, can he go for so long? Could something be wrong? Marlen whispered in Marry's ear.
"This is Beidi County, and there are our troops within a radius of dozens of miles, and thieves dare not come, what can happen?" Ma Rui said confidently.
Ma Lun stopped talking, just stood there quietly, but they waited left and right, and waited for about a stick of incense, but they still didn't see Han Cheng come back.
At this moment, suddenly a group of birds and finches in the woods were startled, and they all flapped their wings and flew into the air.
"We can't fall for Han Sui's tricks, right?" Mullen said suspiciously.
As soon as Mullen's words fell, a sharp arrow "swished" from the woods, and then hundreds of arrows shot from all directions towards the Wuqi Pavilion.
Seeing this, Ma Rui immediately shouted: "It's not good, I really fell for Han Sui's trick!" (To be continued......)
