The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 425 424 Liangzhou Rebellion (11)

After Ma Fei finished speaking, Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao, Ma Gang and others were dumbfounded. They never expected that Ma Fei didn't have any intention of being the protagonist.

At this point, Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao, Ma Gang and others had nothing to say, especially Ma Rui, who pushed the problem to Ma Fei, but Ma Fei supported Ma Chao as the protagonist. If he insisted on arguing Otherwise, there will be no more results, and he can also see that the younger generation has great expectations for Ma Chao.

Although he was upset, Ma Rui endured it and did not express any objection.

After a while, Ma Teng said, "Well, from today onwards, Ma Chao will take over all my duties..."

Later Ma Teng said a lot of polite words, but Ma Rui didn't listen carefully to what he said, anyway, Ma Chao became the lord.

In fact, today's events were all within Ma Teng's expectations. He knew better than anyone else what the people under his command were thinking during the years he had been the lord.

So, last night, Ma Teng personally went to find Ma Fei, discussed with Ma Fei for a long time, and told Ma Fei what to do.

Ma Fei is Ma Teng's biological brother, and Ma Chao's biological uncle, so they are naturally on Ma Teng's side.

Ma Teng was sent away by everyone, and then Ma Chao delivered his inaugural speech, which roughly meant that everything was business as usual, how his father arranged it before, and what it is now.

So, Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao, Ma Gang and other uncles all left Gaoping City and went back to their respective residences.

But Ma Chao only left Ma Fei in Gaoping, because he still needed Ma Fei to handle some things for him.

In the hall of the government office, Ma Chao and Ma Fei sat there quietly, and the servants served some wine. Ma Chao filled a glass of wine for Ma Fei himself, and said, "Uncle, from now on, Meng Qi will rely on Uncle more, first respect Uncle, a cup!"

"Meng Qi, you are my nephew, so naturally my arms won't turn outward. But Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao, Ma Gang and others are not easy-going lamps, and they have prestige in the entire army. It's also relatively high, they have always opposed you, now that you are the master, I'm afraid they will get in your way, so you must always be on guard." Ma Fei said earnestly.

"Thank you uncle for your reminder. Meng Qi knows what to do. Uncles such as Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao, and Ma Gang are all great contributors to our Ma family. If they are willing to obey my command, they will continue to serve our Ma family. , I will not treat them badly, if they neither obey my command nor try to play tricks on me, I will definitely deal with them properly." Ma Chao said.

Ma Fei said: "Meng Qi, in fact, your father asked me to convey to you what my uncle said. Last night, I talked with your father all night, and I was also full of doubts about the future of our Ma family. , you have a strong personality, never willing to suffer a little bit of loss, your father's biggest worry is that you are too young, once you get impulsive, you don't care about anything, so let me stay by your side and remind you a lot. But , in my uncle's opinion, your wisdom should far exceed that of your father. Your father has always done things well. Many opportunities have been missed over the years, so our Ma family has not grown. You are young and vigorous, dare to fight Dare to fight, and like to do things not according to common sense. Maybe this kind of character will make our Ma family grow stronger, but if we go astray, it will also lead to our Ma family's perdition. I know you don't like restraint, So Uncle doesn’t plan to stay by your side, there are still many things to do in Beidi County, and Uncle has to go back to deal with some things, if I am not in Beidi County, then Ma Rui, Maren, Marshaw, Ma Gang He will do whatever he wants. As for how you make decisions and how to walk the road, it is up to you to decide. As long as you give an order, uncle will always follow you, no matter whether it is a flat and wide road in front of you or a rough road. Xiaolu, uncle will follow you to the death!"

After listening to Ma Fei's words, Ma Chao felt a lot. In short, his uncle didn't want to restrict him, and he decided everything by himself, giving him full power.And Ma Fei also expressed his worries to Ma Chao, even so, Ma Fei will spare no effort to follow Ma Chao's orders, even if it is a mountain of swords and seas of fire, he will not hesitate.

Ma Chao was very touched. His father and uncle are his closest relatives. These words are the advice of his elders. He is bound to lead the Ma family on the right path, gradually develop and grow, and achieve great achievements and glory. .

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely carry forward the Ma family!" Ma Chao said.

Ma Chao did not object to Ma Fei's return to the Northland, because there were only two places under his jurisdiction, Anding and the Northland, and the Northland was his important rear. Ma Fei had always been the prefect of the Northland. Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao, Ma Gang and others are also stationed in the Northland. If Ma Fei does not go back, the Northland is likely to be controlled by Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao, Ma Gang and others. Rui, Mu Lun, Ma Shao, Ma Gang and others just don't like Ma Chao very much. If they don't obey his orders, it means that he lost half of the territory under his jurisdiction.

That afternoon, Ma Chao saw Ma Fei off in person. Before leaving, Ma Fei was most worried about his son Ma Dai, and hoped that Ma Chao could take good care of Ma Dai.

Ma Chao nodded heavily, and Ma Fei left Anding and headed north without any worries.

Ma Fei rode a war horse and led more than ten followers from Gaoping City all the way to the southeast to Niyang, the county where he was located.
Beidi County has a long history. It was originally one of the 36 counties established by the Qin Dynasty. After several migrations, the county was finally settled in Fuping County (southwest of Wuzhong City, Ningxia) in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, due to the Qiang rebellion, Fuping County was completely exposed to the Qiang people Under the attack of the Han army, the city of Beidi County moved to Chiyang County. After the Han army quelled the rebellion of the Qiang people, the county city was moved to Fuping County.But the good times didn’t last long. Not long after, the Qiang people rebelled again and killed Ma Xian, the general who conquered the west of the Han Dynasty. They also defeated the army stationed in Beidi. It's just a city.

The big Han was terrified, so he temporarily set up the county seat of Beidi County in Zuo Fengyi's territory, and let Zuo Fengyi's prefect concurrently serve as the prefect of Beidi, commanding the Han army to continue to fight against the Qiang rebels.

Later, the Great Han quelled the rebellion of the Qiang people again, and also recovered Beidi County. However, because Beidi County was located in the area where the Qiang people were active, the county government never moved back. Instead, Zuo Fengyi's prefect managed Beidi County. To county.

It wasn't until the period of Emperor Han Ling, when Emperor Han Ling sold his officials and nobles, that he divided Zuo Fengyi and Beidi County into two again, restored the independent county government of Beidi County, and appointed the Beidi prefect, but the former Beidi prefect stayed behind. After arriving in Niyang, I stopped going north and regarded Niyang as a county town. Because Qiang and Hu live together here, it belongs to a turbulent area, and Han people basically don't go there, so it is basically completely abandoned, and Beidi County only retains Niyang County, Yiju County, and Can County. counties.

Even if Ma Teng took over Beidi County, due to the complicated situation in the three northern counties of Beidi County, he has not taken any military action against it, and let those Qianghu manage themselves. He only governs the southern part of Beidi County three counties.

Ma Fei walked southeast with his entourage for about [-] miles, the sky had gradually dimmed, Ma Fei was about to order to stop the advance, he was going to find a place to rest for the night, and then leave in the daytime tomorrow.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

But at this moment, countless arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides of the road, densely packed like a storm, and flew towards Ma Fei and the others.

Ma Fei and others were caught off guard, and arrows fell off their horses one after another. Ma Fei was hit by six arrows and lay dying on the ground.

At this time, a sound of hurried footsteps came from the woods, and soon he came to Ma Fei who was seriously injured. Ma Fei saw a familiar face in the dim light. Surprised, he couldn't help asking Said: "Yes...is it you?"

"That's right, it's me!" That person was none other than Ma Rui.

Ma Rui glanced at Ma Fei who was dying on the ground, and asked, "You never dreamed that today would happen, did you?"

"You...why did you do this?" Ma Fei asked feebly.

Ma Rui said: "Why? Hahaha... What a why! People die for money and birds die for food. Your brother went to the capital to enjoy high officials and rich salary, but he still pretends to talk about great achievements. I follow your brother through life and death, but in the end What have I gained? Fortunately, God gave me another choice. If I can help Han Sui eliminate your Ma family, I can replace you and become the new lord, and then join forces with Han Sui to attack Guanzhong together, and then achieve something. Wangtu hegemony!"

Ma Fei understood that it turned out that Han Sui was behind all this.He sneered, and said to Ma Rui: "It turned out to be Han Sui... Ma Rui, I advise you, stop now? Otherwise, you will have nothing to end with. Ma Chao is no better than Shoucheng, he won't think about anything Old love. Moreover, you think things are too simple, Han Sui is old and cunning, it is by no means as simple as you think, do you think that if you help him eliminate the Ma family, you will be able to become the new protagonist? You are wrong, What Han Sui hates is the entire Ma family, including you. You are just a pawn in Han Sui's hands. Once you are useless, Han Sui will throw you away. And what will happen to you It will definitely not be any better!"

Ma Rui said angrily: "You are about to die, how dare you speak hard? I will send you to the underworld right now. If you have anything to say, just speak slowly there!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Rui pulled out the sword from his waist, and directly inserted the tip of the sword into Ma Fei's heart. Ma Fei died immediately, and before he died, he was still waiting for Ma Rui fiercely.

Ma Rui then ordered people to cut off Ma Fei's head, and then ordered people to clean up the scene and bury all the corpses on the spot, but only took Ma Fei's head back to Niyang, and sent people to contact the army. Veteran general, preparing to plan a rebellion, and at the same time, asked his confidants to contact Han Sui, and made an appointment to attack Anding together, and to capture Ma Chao alive!
