Chapter 348 Slaughter(1/2)
"Go, go..."
At the east gate of Xiancheng, Dian Zhang broke through the obstacles of the soldiers guarding the gate, and leaped on his horse and disappeared into the darkness.
Before they could walk two miles, they could only hear several sounds of bowstrings behind them.
"Ah..." The horse thundered in the dark and was about to fall off.
Dian Zhang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and pulled the horse directly onto his war horse.
With the glimmer of light, he saw a sharp arrow piercing from behind Ma Yue's back and piercing out from his chest.
"Dianzhang, I'm afraid I can't do it anymore. You should leave me behind, take my military talisman to Sizhou, and send someone to Yancheng to welcome Ma Han, and raise an army to clean up the rebellion of Ma Jin, the Ma family." Ma Yueyue was like a wandering spring, stuffing a cold thing into Dianzhang's hand. It was the military talisman.
"Sir..." Dian Zhang shouted.
"Go away quickly!"
Seeing the fire behind him getting closer, Ma Yue used all his strength to push the script hard and rolled down from the horse.
Dian Zhang almost clenched his silver teeth and held the military talisman tightly.
Looking back at the heavy darkness, he swung his whip forward and rushed forward.
Half an hour later, the cavalry chasing him were gradually thrown away by him.
He continued to rush eastward, and two days later, a pass appeared in front of him.
This pass faces the Jin River in the north and the steep mountains in the south.
Behind the Xiong Pass is Sizhou, and this pass is Qin Pass, known as the second pass of Dasong.
At present, this pass is guarded by soldiers under Ma Yue.
After passing Qin Pass, he immediately went to see the Qin Pass guard and lit up Ma Yue's military talisman.
"This is indeed the military talisman of Lord Zhoumu." The Qinguan Guard General Ma Tan took the military talisman from Dian Zhang's hand and frowned.
"Ma Jin is crazy. Now he has killed all the clan elders. I am afraid that he will raise an army to Sizhou next. Now he should close the city gate and take back the young master." Dian Zhang said.
Ma Shan has not recovered from what Dian Zhang told him yet.
Although the internal affairs of the powerful clan are full of interest disputes, the Ma family has never had such a big disaster.
But at this moment, he dare not believe in the same words as the rules.
So he ordered the city to prepare supplies, and sent someone to secretly go to Xiancheng to inquire.
Dian Zhang continued to travel east to Luocheng, the capital of Sizhou, and brought the news to Ma Yue's eldest son, Ma Lan.
But what he didn't expect was that when he saw Ma Lan, he also met a familiar person, which was Ma Yuan.
"Civilian Ma." Dian Zhang said in surprise.
Ma Lan chuckled softly, "You can't call me Censor Ma now, but you want to call me Ma Zhou Mu. In the future, Jinzhou will be under the control of my uncle, hahaha."
Just yesterday, Ma Yuan arrived in Luocheng.
After reminiscing with him, I then talked about welcoming Ma Han back to Qinzhou.
He and his father have always been intimate with Ma Xuan and his son.
Moreover, even according to the Ma family's ancestral system, Ma Han should inherit the Ma family.
If Mahan fails, all the clan elders will decide whether to choose another person.
After learning that Ma Yuan had become the governor of Jinzhou, he was even more happy.
Although he knew the temperament of this clan uncle, Ma Yuan's role as the governor of Jinzhou was expanded to outsiders.
Ma Lan's children in the Ma family are mediocre and have always been careless.
He was so happy that he didn't see the strangeness of Dian Zhang, but Ma Yuan saw it at this time.
Not to mention that Dian Zhang's armor was covered with blood, Dian Zhang's expression was also very solemn.
He didn't care about Ma Lan, who was talking to himself, asked, "General Dian, what happened?"
Dian Zhang dragged the military talisman in his hand and handed it to the two of them. "Ma Jin summoned the clan elders by discussing the matter of welcoming the young master, but he killed them at the banquet. Ma Yuezhou's mu was shot by an arrow while fleeing with Mo General. Before he died, he ordered Mo General to go to Sizhou to raise troops to attack Ma Jin and welcome the young master back."
The smile on Ma Lan's face suddenly froze, and he stuttered: "What are you... saying?"
"The Ma Yue tribe was killed by Ma Jin." Dian Zhang repeated again.
Ma Lan looked at the military talisman in Dian Zhang's hand, thought of Dian Zhang's words again, and when he rolled his eyes, he fainted and fell straight backwards.
Ma Yuan hurriedly held Ma Lan and pinched the man hard.
Soon after, Ma Lan woke up and cried loudly, "Dad, my dad..."
Ma Yuan shook his head. He understood Ma Lan's personality and was just a nerd.
Although I read a lot of books, I am a little stupid and cannot bear the responsibility.
Although he was also shocked, he forced himself to calm down and said, "I have seen Ma Han in Yancheng, so it's not time to go to Yancheng to pick Ma Han up and preside over the overall situation of the Ma family."
Dian Zhang nodded, and said, "Ma Jin holds the heavy troops of the Ma family, and only relies on the troops of Sizhou to be unable to resist. I hope that the Lord can borrow troops from the King of Yan and eliminate Ma Jin."
"The King of Yan has agreed to borrow troops to Ma Han, but I feel sorry for my Ma family, which has suffered such chaos." Ma Yuan sighed.
After deciding on this matter, he immediately set off for Yancheng.
Now Ma Jin has done such a crazy thing.
No one in the Ma family could control him.
Only Ma Han can take the opportunity to pacify the Ma family by using the troops of the King of Yan.
...
Yancheng.
After three consecutive days, Ma Yuan arrived at Yancheng.
Before he could rest, he immediately went to the royal palace with Ma Han and told Zhao Xu about the Ma family's incident.
"Ma Jin is taking a desperate bet, and he is desperate." Zhao Xu frowned.
What he most hopes for about the Ma family is that the rights are peacefully handed over to Ma Han.
In this way, the Ma family can stabilize and become a helper to guard important passes in the west of the King of Yan.
Of course, he had expected the worst case, and it was now.
Ma Chong and Ma Jin rebelled.
After all, in ancient times, rebellion was common.
As long as interests are not in harmony, there will be rebellion.
What's more, the system of Dasong is deformed, and now it is constantly declining, and people are confused.
In my memory, Dasong's history also had the rebellion of the powerful clan.
However, after the rebellion was pacified, the children of the Shi clan were killed, but the Shi clan was still the Shi clan and continued to exist.
This is not an emperor idiot, but the power clan masters knowledge.
Only they can provide officials and generals to the court.
Moreover, the rebellion was only the dissatisfied children of the power clan, not the entire power clan, so it did not affect the entire clan.
This is somewhat similar to the king and horse in the contemporary Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The king is the Wang family of Langya, and the horse is the Sima family.
At that time, the Wang family of Langya was the largest aristocratic clan.
Most of the children in the family serve as senior officials and generals in the court.
Among them, there is an important child in the Wang family, one is called Wang Dao and the other is called Wang Dun.
Wang Dun was greedy for power and eventually launched a rebellion, which was finally put down by the court.
But Wang Dao supported the court and helped the court to pacify Wang Dun.
After that, the Wang family was not affected and was still the most famous clan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
However, at present, the Ma Jin rebellion is still a chaos within the Ma family.
But he didn't want the chaos to continue to expand.
Otherwise, it is very likely to cause even more unexpected unrest.
"Your Highness, please help us with our Ma family." Ma Han knelt down and couldn't help crying.
His father died tragically, and the Ma family has become like this again. He was supposed to be the head of the Ma family and his heart was like a knife.
Ma Yuan's face was also serious, "Your Highness, Ma Yuan also begs you. This is also for the sake of Da Song's peace. Ma Jin's rebellion must have done everything."
Zhao Xu pursed his lips and pondered for a moment. He said, "Originally, I only wanted to give you 30,000 people. Now it seems that it is necessary to give you 60,000 people to quell the civil strife as soon as possible."
Ma Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this.
The King of Yan defeated Xiliang in Jinzhou with only 80,000 troops.
To be continued...
