Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 718 Layers of Strategies
Two days later, when Ma Teng and Ma Chao arrived at Hongnong with their wedding team, the city was quiet, and nothing seemed to happen.

Naturally, Ma Teng would not rush to Hongnong in person for the wedding. He came here to see Yang Biao.

The location of Hongnong County is extremely important. It is at the junction of Sili and Jingzhou, and controls the important passage from the north to the south. Ma Teng befriended the Yang family of Hongnong. The purpose of the marriage between the two families was of course not that simple.

Ma Teng has great ambitions. Since he has come this far, why not go further?
He has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou. If he goes south in a big way and captures Youzhou and Yizhou, he can occupy half of China. He can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Moreover, Jingzhou and Yizhou are far richer than Liangzhou. If we get two states, we can expand our army to more than [-], or even hundreds of thousands!

If you have this power, it is not impossible to spy on the world!

That's why Ma Teng married the Yang family, but he also knew that the other party's noble family might not agree, and to do such a thing under Cao Cao's nose, the Hongnong Yang family might not have the courage.

But to Da Chu Ma Teng's surprise, Yang actually agreed. He was overjoyed and immediately came to welcome the bride in person to show that he took the matter seriously.

As for whether there was something fishy in it, Ma Teng didn't want to think too much. Since Yang agreed, why would he need to spit out the fat in his mouth?

As for Cao Cao, although Ma Teng was wary, he was currently dealing with Jizhou. I'm afraid he wouldn't break up with him within a few years, right?
Ma Teng and Yang Biao were chatting happily, while Ma Chao also entered Yang's house to welcome the bride. Watching the bride with her head covered getting into the carriage, Ma Chao also proudly rode ahead to clear the way and led the carriage onto the long street. Prepare to return to the Ma family territory in Hanoi County to get married.

It was a big event for the Yang family in Hongnong to get married, so they found many ritual and music players to play along the way. The people of Hongnong also came out to watch. People stood on both sides of the road, almost blocking the road.

Ma Chao, who was in front of the motorcade, was just past his prime. His face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like shooting stars, he had the body of a tiger and arms like an ape, and he had a belly and waist of a wolf. He was a rare handsome man. The people in the city had never seen such a figure before. Seeing Ma Chao's appearance When they saw the appearance, they all expressed their admiration.

Hearing the praises of the people on both sides of the road, Ma Chao was also very satisfied. Although he was young at this time, he helped Cao Cao make great achievements and was awarded the position of general. In time, he may not be able to surpass his ancestor Ma Yuan!

However, just when the convoy had walked a few miles on the long street, someone in the crowd shouted out.

"The bride has already escaped, and Yang is a fool!"

"The bride is no longer her own person, Yang is hiding the truth!"

"The bride Li Daitao is stiff, and the Yang family wants to cover it up!"

The sounds of one after another sounded in at least five or six places at the same time. Ma Chao's face turned gloomy. He looked around angrily, wanting to find the sergeant to search for him, but the sound fell silent immediately. It was obvious that the person who called out took the opportunity to escape.

Ma Chao clenched his fists, hesitated for a moment, pretended not to hear anything, and continued to move forward with the convoy.

As a result, when they quickly arrived at the city gate, the shouts rang out again. This time there were more people shouting, and the thousands of people present could hear clearly. Ma Chao could no longer bear it, and immediately ordered the soldiers to search everywhere, but In the end, nothing was found.

Looking at the nearby city gate, Ma Chao's lips trembled. He immediately led the convoy to a secluded place.

He ordered the soldiers to block the passages on both sides, and he carried a spear, walked to the carriage, opened the door suddenly, pointed the spear on the bride's shoulder, and shouted: "Tell me, what is going on!"

The bride was frightened, knelt down and kowtowed in the carriage, and stammered what had happened.

When he finished speaking, Ma Chao's face became even more ugly. What those people shouted was indeed true. Although the bride in front of him was indeed a member of the Yang family, she had just made an appointment two days ago!

This is definitely not me. The six wedding ceremonies have been completed two months ago. How could it be possible that the candidate has just been decided?
This shows that something must have happened to the bride who was going to marry him!
Originally, if Ma Chao didn't know about this matter, he might have covered it up. Even if he learned about it privately, Ma Chao might have pretended not to know about it for the sake of the overall situation.

However, those shouts just now were already known to everyone in the city, and it was impossible for Ma Chao to pretend to be stupid!
Ma Chao slammed the car door and shouted: "Let's go to Yang's main house!"

The anger in his heart could not be suppressed. The Hongnong Yang family had bullied others so much that he really thought he was a soft persimmon. Can the Yang family stop the Liangzhou army!
Ma Teng was chatting and laughing with Yang Biao, and Han Sui was accompanying him, but a servant came to report that Ma Chao and his men had barged in aggressively.

When Ma Teng saw Ma Chao come in, he immediately stood up and shouted: "You are rude!"

"You barged in without notification. Do you know the etiquette?"

Yang Biao smiled and said: "Shoucheng (Ma Teng) calm down, maybe my nephew has something urgent to do."

Ma Chao stood straight in front of Yang Biao, raised his hands and said: "Today Chao welcomes the bride. The motorcade is walking on the street, but someone shouts that the bride has changed. Does the unknown owner know about this?" Yang Biao's expression changed, Yang's missing person Only a very few people in the Yang family knew about this matter. How did those people on the street learn about it?
There is indeed something wrong with this matter, I'm afraid it is a conspiracy from beginning to end!
When Yang Biao learned that Yang was missing, and Yang Feng disappeared with him, he immediately realized that something was fishy.

When he took in Yang Feng and made friends with Zhang Jiao, he naturally had his own plans in mind, and in his heart, he was still very sure that the Yellow Turbans would cause trouble.

However, Zhang Jiao's instigation of the Yellow Turbans was revealed, so he had to launch a hasty rebellion and ultimately failed. The Yang family had to immediately cut ties with Zhang Jiao.

But fortunately, the three brothers Zhang Jiao were dead, and Yang Feng joined the Black Mountain Army to hide his identity. The matter passed like this. Yang Biao gradually forgot about it. After all, no one in the world had any relationship with the Yellow Turban Army at that time. One thousand also has eight hundred.

But Yang Feng suddenly appeared recently, catching Yang Biao off guard. She knew to some extent what Yang Feng had done in the past few years. Since she was not sure of being silenced, she still treated her like a guest. After all, Yang Biao also knew Yang Feng's other side. Identity and Taipingdao are extremely important powers, and the Yang family may not be able to use them in the future.

But what I didn't expect was that Yang Feng suddenly disappeared with his bride!
Yang Biao could not guess that Yang Feng wanted to ruin the marriage between the two families, but he reacted very quickly and immediately found a woman of similar age in the Yang family to deal with Ma Chao's marriage.

Although this matter was not leak-proof, there were not many flaws. After all, the people involved in the matter were all members of the Yang clan. Naturally, they did not want to expose the truth. Even if they knew it, they would try their best to cover it up.

But after hearing Ma Chao's words, Yang Biao realized that the other party was really waiting for him. He couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth. Greed had harmed him. If he had known earlier, it would be better to clarify the truth with the Ma family first, but now he is passive!

Yang Biao made a quick decision and gave an overview of Yang's disappearance. He just hid Yang Feng's identity and said it was an outsider who broke in. Finally, he sighed: "This must be someone who wants to destroy the relationship between the two families, so he came up with the idea." Such a vicious plot!"

"The bride is nowhere to be found, and she was probably killed. That's why I looked for someone else within the Yang family just to protect the face of the two families."

"The shouting on the streets today is also a form of malicious dissent. We can't fall for their deception!"

Yang Biao's words were very convincing. Ma Teng's expression softened first and he advised Ma Chao: "Son, what the Taiwei said is absolutely true. The bride is both a member of the Yang family, so what's the difference?"

Ma Chao was extremely angry. He had already inquired about the girl from the Yang family who was going to marry him. She was said to be the most beautiful in the Yang family. Although the bride just now was covered with a hijab, she had just raised the tip of his spear slightly, but she was... His appearance is mediocre, far worse than I expected!
He was secretly angry, thinking that it's not your old guy getting married, so of course you don't care!
But everyone was present at this time, and it was hard for Ma Chao to get angry, but he couldn't vent the anger in his chest, so he said: "If you can steal the bride silently in the Yang family mansion, it doesn't seem like it was done by an outsider, right?"

Yang Biao's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile and said, "This matter has not been clarified yet."

Ma Chao was surprised and said: "How can this work? What if this person is still hiding in the Yang family and wants to harm the Taiwei?"

"Please help Lieutenant to find out the truth!"

Yang Biao almost broke into a cold sweat. If Ma Chao really found out Yang Feng's origin, the whole world would know that he was related to Taiping Dao!
He quickly said: "I have checked within the Yang family. It should not be from the Yang family, but maybe from other forces."

Ma Chao said curiously: "That's strange. Even the Hongnong Yang family can't be found. The forces on the opposite side must not be weak. Are there any other big forces in the city that can do it recently?"

Han Sui, who had been listening to the whole process over there, broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.

In Hongnong City, almost all the Yang family and its vassal forces were present. If Yang Biao said it was not the Yang family, wouldn't it mean that he was the only one left who had arrived first?

The point is, I really received an inexplicable letter!

When Han Sui first received this letter, he was still confused. However, Yang Biao came to him overnight and told him about the disappearance of the Yang girl.

When Han Sui heard that Yang Biao wanted to find another bride temporarily, he said curiously: "The captain has thought it through very carefully. You can just do it yourself. Why do you need to tell me?"

Yang Biao smiled bitterly and said: "This is not because I want the general to be a witness. If the matter is leaked in the future, it can also help me prove that I did not intentionally deceive."

Han Sui listened and naturally nodded in agreement. After Yang Biao left, he realized that the letter he received was probably framed by the person behind the scenes!

At this time, Han Sui's first reaction was to burn the letter, but he thought about it and kept the letter.

What if the other party thinks that he burned the letter and left evidence, making it difficult for him to defend himself?
So Han Sui finally put the letter away, but now that he heard Yang Biao's confession, the finger was pointed at him unknowingly, and cold sweat oozed from his back.
