The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Ma Yue had expected Lu Bu to make such a choice, because compared with this, cooperating with Wang Yun and the others to deal with the Ma family would cost Lu Bu a heavy price, and there may not be any gains.When Ma Yue had already guessed that Lv Bu was about to collude with Wang Yun and other courtiers, it was impossible for them to attack suddenly, and even Lv Bu was not sure if they wanted to attack head-on.

But now that Lu Bu and Ma Yue have teamed up, the situation is completely different. As long as they cooperate, they will naturally have the final say on Chang'an City.And Lu Bu could not only avoid the heavy casualties of his subordinates, but also get a large sum of property that was not stolen as military expenses. Naturally, he readily agreed to Ma Yue's proposal.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu felt a little uneasy, and said again: "Since you are willing to give me so many conveniences, Mr. Ma, I can't just stand by and watch your people do their best without paying attention." Help. In this way, you set a time, and we will work together to eradicate these courtiers."

"That's the best thing." Ma Yue smiled satisfied. He knew that after he threw out the bait, Lu Bu would definitely be tempted and help him, and now he guessed right.Because he knew exactly what Lü Bu was worried about. When he believed that the property of the courtiers belonged to him, he would not be at ease letting the Ma family rob them of their property. Take some good stuff for yourself, no?

Precisely because he guessed that Lu Bu would have such an idea, Ma Yue was so generous just now. Not only was he willing to bear all the responsibilities, but he also gave Lu Bu all the benefits.Now, since he himself offered to help, Ma Yue would certainly not object, and said: "It's actually not difficult to deal with these courtiers, there are only so few people they can use, and they have no defense at all. There is no need to choose any day, just after dark today, you and I will send troops at the same time to enter the houses of these courtiers, what does the general think?"

"Just do as you say!" Lu Bu immediately nodded and agreed without hesitation.In his opinion, these courtiers, who were only a few thousand rabble, were nothing more than chickens and dogs, and they could be won in a single battle without spending too much thought.

When Ma Yue came out of Lv Bu's barracks, his face was filled with a bit of sternness.Ma Chaoyou, on the other hand, was somewhat puzzled and unwilling to say: "Second brother, how could you agree to give him all the wealth of those courtiers to Lu Bu? That is a huge sum of millions." Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that It is heartache to lose these assets.

Ma Yue glanced at his elder brother and said, "Brother, otherwise it would be very difficult for us to get Lu Bu to do things for us. Only by letting him deal with those courtiers with us can we really ensure that these people will be wiped out. As for the money, it is actually related to Dong Zhuo. The huge amount of property I have is nothing compared to it, since I already have these, why should I have conflicts with Lu Bu over the small amount of money?"

"Dong Zhuo's wealth? What is that?" Ma Chao asked with some doubts.

"When Dong Zhuo moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, he plundered Luoyang's wealth. Not to mention, he also ordered people to rob and dig up more than a dozen emperor's tombs in Luoyang, a big man. There are countless treasures and wealth, which is beyond the capabilities of these family officials. What I like is the wealth hidden somewhere in Chang'an by Dong Zhuo." Ma Yue explained in a low voice.

"Ah..." After he said this, Ma Chao suddenly remembered that there was another incident. This happened a few months ago. They were still in Xiliang at that time, so naturally they didn't have a deep impression.But then, he said without doubt: "Then have you already mastered these properties?"

"The whereabouts of them have not been found yet. Obviously, Dong Zhuo also knows the importance of this wealth to him, so he has hidden them in a secret place after arriving in Chang'an. He will not let them interfere of."

"Then where did you get such confidence that you will get these properties?" Ma Chao asked without confidence after listening to Ma Yue's words.

"Since I dare to say this, I am sure to get all these properties." Ma Yuehe laughed: "Brother, you will know the reason when you follow me back."

Ma Chao returned to the residence with Ma Yue with some doubts, and then came to a secret courtyard in the backyard, where there were still a dozen of Ma Yue's followers guarding outside.When they saw clearly that it was Ma Yue, they put down the crossbow they had just picked up, and then saluted: "My lord!"

"Well, how is he doing recently?" Ma Yue asked.

"Since he learned that Dong Zhuo was killed and what happened to other courtiers close to Dong Zhuo, he has become much more honest." Li Yong laughed, with a bit of contempt in his tone.

"That's good, as long as he is willing to cooperate obediently, our big event can be expected." Ma Yue smiled with satisfaction, and then entered the small courtyard together with Ma Chao, and pushed open the wooden door that was locked from the outside.

Inside the door was a figure curled up in a corner. When he was hit by the light outside the door, he couldn't help but trembled, and then shouted: "No... don't kill me, I'm willing to listen to anything I'll give you...whatever you want!"

Ma Chao got used to the light in the lower room, and then he saw clearly the appearance of that very humble and embarrassed man, and couldn't help taking a breath: "Isn't this Dong Juan? Why is he still alive?"

This person who looked extremely embarrassed and completely different from the domineering person in the past was Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang.In the matter of assassinating Dong Zhuo, he played an extremely crucial role. If he hadn't brought people to his door because of his recklessness, Ma Yue might not have been able to transfer Dong Zhuo out of his mansion.Then it would be impossible to have a subsequent assassination.

But in Ma Chao's mind, since Dong Zhuo was already dead, Dong Juan as a bait was naturally useless, and Ma Yue should have removed him sooner.Unexpectedly, he was still alive, even though he lived in such a pitiful way.

"What you said will fall on him?" But soon, Ma Chao had already thought of the crux of the matter, looking at Dong Zhuo's closest nephew and asked.

"That's right. As Dong Zhuo's blood relative, since Dong Zhuo only has two sons-in-law, he is the one who is most likely to have all the secrets." Ma Yue nodded, then walked up to Dong Juan and looked down at him: " Mr. Dong, we meet again."

"Ma... Yue!" At this time, Dong Juan recognized the identities of the two people who came to him, and his body trembled again: "You... are you here to kill me?" Ri's imprisoning disaster has completely wiped away his arrogance. At this time, Dong Huang is no longer the playboy he was before, but has become a prisoner.

Ma Yue smiled and asked: "You already know what will happen to your uncle? And those officials who once wanted to rely on your uncle for their family background, including Xu Ling, have gone down to accompany your uncle now." .”

Listening to Ma Yue's threatening words, Dong Juan's body trembled more violently, his teeth chattered non-stop, he was almost speechless, he just looked at Ma Yue with begging eyes, hoping He can spare his life.

"However, I have won the favor of Dong Zhuo after all, so I don't want to see the Dong family die, and I want to save your life." Speaking of this, he glanced at Dong Huang who seemed to be surprised, and said slowly: "However, the crimes you and your uncle committed are still too serious. If you want to atone for your sins, you have to show something."

"You...what do you want me to do?" Dong Juan is not an idiot after all, and he quickly guessed the intention of Ma Yue's words. Obviously, the other party was playing his own mind, so he said so much.

Ma Yue didn't say any more nonsense, and went directly to the topic: "I think, as Dong Zhuo's close relative, you must know where he put all the property he looted from Luoyang. As long as you tell me where they are hidden For me, I can let you go and not kill you. You make your own choice."

Dong Juan fell silent immediately, it turned out that the other party's intention of not killing him was for this reason.He did know where Dong Zhuo hid these properties as Ma Yue expected, but he was a little unwilling to tell the treasure location like this, and he was also worried that Ma Yue would keep his word.If Ma Yue suddenly repented after he told the treasure place, it would be a real loss of money and life.

Seeing his hesitation, Ma Yue laughed again: "Why, do you think you still have a choice? Now you are a prisoner, and since your uncle is dead, it is impossible to inherit his power with your ability .So this huge fortune is useless to you at all, so you might as well use it to exchange your own life. And I, Ma Yue, always keep my word. As long as you tell the truth, I will promise not to kill you. Now My time is running out, and there are too many important things waiting for me to deal with, you should quickly give a happy explanation, should you sacrifice your life for money, or should you sacrifice money to save your life?"

Strong pressure weighed on Dong Juan's heart, and he was struggling inwardly.But in the end, the attachment to life trumps everything else.For him, saving his life is the number one priority now, and he also feels that as long as he can leave here alive, he still has the possibility to regain everything.So after some weighing, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you where my uncle hides his belongings, and I hope you can keep your promise!"

About half an hour later, the two brothers Ma Yue left the courtyard. Ma Chao said excitedly: "Unexpectedly, you are right. Dong Zhuo has indeed hidden a lot of property near Chang'an. Why, when do you plan to leave the courtyard?" Dig out these treasures?"

"It's not in a hurry now, we still have too many internal and external troubles to face. After we have solved all these troubles, it is only right to dig out these properties and go to Xiliang for development!" Ma Yue said. For his own plan, he looked up at the sun that was already heading west, and smiled: "It's time to send an order to the soldiers below!"
