Chapter 502 Strategic Cooperation
"My Ma family is not willing to join them." Ma Han gritted his teeth, "What's more, the Dou family is the murderer of my father."
When Ma Jin defected to Xiliang, he told the world about Dou Wei colluding with him to murder his father and son.
Although Dou Wei refused to admit it, he had already determined that Dou Wei was the murderer in his heart.
Originally, he hoped that Emperor Zhao Heng would uphold justice for him.
But as a result, the court still easily exposed the matter based on the unreliable words of Ma Jin.
He felt extremely hatred in his heart, but he could only endure it.
The Ma family is no longer the former Ma family, and they never stomped their feet anymore. Dasong also had to shake the three earthquakes in the northwest.
What's more, Qinzhou and Yongzhou are the foundation of the Ma family, and he hopes that the court can help the Ma family regain it.
But this peace talks, he was disappointed again.
Zhao Heng completely assigned these two states to Beidi.
That night, he was drunk late at night and cried bitterly, and his father could not rest in peace.
He wanted to command the Ma family's troops to fight despite the court's peace talks.
But he knew that his troops were vulnerable to Beidi.
The Ma family's last breath will be ruined by him.
Now, the King of Yan revealed to him the banquet of the seven major tribes and completely alienated his Ma family.
Even the last honor of the Ma family cannot be defended by the Ma clan.
The most important thing is that, as King Yan said, as a powerful clan, he naturally knew what Dou Wei wanted to do.
His Ma family once dominated the three states, and was also involved in Jinzhou, and even extended their tentacles to Yanzhou. This was all about expanding the Ma family's sphere of influence.
He knew very well that the Dasong Royal could no longer suppress the powerful clans.
The result of being unable to suppress is the melee between the powerful clan and the royal family, and the strongest clan was born in the smoke of gunpowder, ascending to the throne, and establishing a new dynasty.
When his father was there, he told him about this several times.
It can be said that this matter is the default of the power clan.
The eight families of the Siqi tribes are also preparing for the arrival of troubled times.
However, now that all this is coming, the Ma family lost in advance.
With the relationship between the Ma family and the Dou family, once the powerful clan wins, he is afraid that the Ma family will end up in a miserable fate.
"Then are you willing to join the scattered person with me!" Zhao Xu deliberately said the four words "Part scattered person with me" very seriously.
He had been observing Mahan's expression.
In just a short time, several emotional fluctuations appeared in Ma Han's eyes, and there was obviously violent mental activity.
"Your Highness wants..." Ma Han was stunned. Although the words of King Yan were self-deprecating, the meaning was already very clear.
Then he reacted, "How can you be called a gang of people with Your Highness? It should be called a like-minded person."
"Hahaha... What a like-minded person, yes, that's what I mean." Zhao Xu stared into Ma Han's eyes.
Ma Han was stared at by Zhao Xu and his heart trembled again.
In an instant, his mind was turned on.
The powerful clan led by Dou Wei will definitely not accept the Ma family.
If the troubled times really come in the future, how can the weak Ma family survive?
There seems to be no better way than hiding under the wings of the King of Yan.
Thinking of this, he stood up, bowed, and was about to say something.
Zhao Xu said lightly: "Don't say anything like going up the mountain of swords and sea of fire. As the saying goes, everyone is for me, I am for everyone. As long as you sincerely help me, I will definitely repay you. The court cannot get Qinzhou and Yongzhou back, but I can."
Ma Han was shocked when he heard this.
He no longer hesitated, "Your Highness just ordered the robbery of this time, and my Ma family will do its best."
Zhao Xu nodded slightly.
This time he and the Ma family are basically not ally, but they are even better than ally.
The true covenant is not a piece of paper, but the sincerity in each other's hearts.
In contemporary terms, it can be called strategic partner.
Moreover, this is also straightforward.
If the Ma family has other thoughts in the future, they will not be burdened.
Similarly, he would not feel burdened when he beat the Ma family.
However, he still hopes that Mahan is a smart person and not to take the wrong team.
"You soldiers of the Ma family have the armor provided by me. At that time, you only need to hang out your king's flag. I will admit this." Zhao Xu added.
In this way, his Ma family only needs to be sent out, and he will resist the risks from the court.
"In fact, there is no need. I would like to use this matter as a letter of honor to show sincerity." Ma Han looked firm.
Some time ago, he sent millions of refugees to the King of Yan, and the King of Yan fulfilled his promise to send troops to help him attack Ma Jin.
This incident is enough to show that the King of Yan is a trustworthy person.
This time, since he chose to surrender to the King of Yan, he naturally had to show his sincerity.
Zhao Xu smiled and still waved his hand, "If so, why should I let you come secretly? What I want is that the Ma family is in the dark and the King is in the dark."
Ma Han suddenly realized something and showed a sudden look.
If his Ma family had a relationship with the King of Yan, the powerful clans would definitely stare at his Ma family.
If they hide their relationship, they can secretly support each other, and catch the enemy off guard in some things.
"I understand." Ma Han smiled.
Zhao Xu also smiled, and everything was silent.
Then, he suddenly realized something, as if he was getting darker and darker.
Alas, there is no way, whoever makes his opponents all Lao Yinbi.
After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu kept Ma Han for dinner in the mansion.
The next day, Ma Han set off for Sizhou.
The marriage is imminent, and he needs to go back and arrange it.
Before Mahan left, he asked Tsui Hark to send someone to go back with Mahan.
He would send a boat north, and the boat would carry hot air balloons.
It would be better if Mahan could rescue Princess Changle.
If not, maybe you can use hot air balloons.
...
Jinling, Prince Chun Mansion.
Located on the busiest Donghua Street, Donghuamen, the imperial palace.
At this moment, it was evening, and the nobles and children of the powerful tribe who were traveling on Donghua Street came and went.
When they passed by Prince Chun's Mansion, they couldn't help but point fingers.
Some people sigh, while others show gloating.
"It's a pity that a beauty like a fairy is about to be ruined by the people of Beidi." A noble child sighed.
"Actually, there is no regret. She has made a contribution to our Dasong when she can fight with Beidi." Another person said.
The two of them said, and left.
At this time, two children of the Shi tribe passed by and one of them said, "This Princess Changle, because she is the princess, often waving flags and shouting for the King of Yan in the capital. Hehe, now you are stupid, and the King of Yan can't save her."
"I deserve it. What a bullshit princess, she is just a poor bastard. But after luck, she was attracted by Princess Chun."
“…”
The comments were hidden among the crowd.
The servants in front of the palace could not hear it, and the Princess Changle in the boudoir could not hear it.
She just sat in front of a glass mirror and stared at herself in a daze.
Her expression was calm and seemed to be unaffected by the marriage.
