Ma Chao did not dare to say to arrest Gao Fei, for fear of causing a sensation. An emperor of a hostile country appeared in his capital. This can only be said to be that he was too incompetent. Therefore, he only said to arrest Gao Fei to wish justice.
After finishing the instructions, Ma Chao immediately turned to Yang Wan and said: "My dear concubine, this place is not safe, and the palace is no longer safe. These people are carefully selected by me, and everyone is worth ten. I asked them to protect you and send you
Go to Prince Liang's Mansion and stay with Bozhan, it is safer than the palace. No one would have thought that the Crown Princess would be in Prince Liang's Mansion, right?"
Yang Wan nodded, knowing that Ma Chao had big things to do next. As a woman, she could do little to help him. She could only stand behind him and silently support him. As for the big things Gao Fei said, she also had some concerns.
Doubts, fearing that it is really a ploy to kill with a borrowed knife.
She hugged Ma Chao and said in Ma Chao's ear: "You can't believe everything, and you can't disbelieve it. Your Highness just took advantage of the opportunity to search for assassins, so he could conduct a survey throughout the city, send troops to guard every important road in the city, and search every room.
If private houses are really as high as... what he said, then His Highness is also in a proactive position and can take precautions before it happens."
After hearing this, Ma Chao nodded and said: "Don't worry, my beloved, I asked them to search for Zhu Gongdao throughout the city just for this matter. If there are really many people sneaking into Chang'an City, then I should get ahead of them."
actions.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao turned his face and said to his subordinates: "Send the Crown Princess to Prince Liang's Mansion, ask Bo Zhan to dress up as well, and bring King Zhao and King Jin to Prince Liang's Mansion, and then ask him to send people to the palace to bring the princess to the palace."
Receive him as well, mobilize a thousand people to hide in Prince Liang's Mansion, and guard it heavily. If anything unexpected happens, you can leave the city through the south gate!"
"promise!"
Ma Chao hugged Yang Wan again, somewhat reluctant to leave, but for the sake of his own future, he had to leave. He mounted his horse, said goodbye to Yang Wan, and galloped away towards the barracks alone.
………………
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yang Biao was waiting anxiously in the mansion. Although he was still weak, his complexion was much better than that in the morning. If Gao Fei hadn't angered him and made him vomit out that mouthful of black blood, he would still be lying on the bed now.
Not long after, Yang Yuan came from outside injured, with a depressed look on his face. When he saw Yang Biao, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried on the ground: "My lord, my subordinate is incompetent, Miss...Miss was kidnapped on the way.
Gone..."
"What did you say? Who was abducted by whom? How did you do things!" Yang Biao was surprised for a while.
"It's...those two people who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion at noon..."
"Is it them?" Yang Biao said in surprise.
After Yang Yuan was lured away by Zhu Gongdao, it was hard to find him for a while. Unfortunately, he couldn't find him, and he didn't dare to come back directly. He struggled outside for a long time before he dared to come back. However, he missed a lot of time.
.
Yang Biao immediately said angrily: "You actually dare to rob my daughter, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! Yang Yuan, prepare a sedan and take me to Xiangyang Lane!"
When Yang Yuan saw that Yang Biao not only did not blame him, but also asked him to prepare the sedan, Yang Yuan immediately got up from the ground, said "Promise" and went out to give orders.
The servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion prepared a sedan. After Yang Biao got on it, he immediately left the Prime Minister's Mansion under the protection of Yang Yuan and dozens of other practitioners, and headed straight towards Yangxiang Lane.
As soon as the group of people walked out of Zhuque Street, Yang Biao impatiently opened the curtains and shouted to Yang Yuan: "Hurry up, hurry up."
"Yes, sir." Yang Yuan urged the bearers to carry the sedan and move faster.
Suddenly, Ma Chao continued to gallop through Xuanwu Street on the opposite side, and soon disappeared on the street. After being seen by Yang Biao, Yang Biao was startled and thought secretly: "Ma Chao is heading towards the barracks."
...Oops, if Gao Fei tells Ma Chao the whole thing, then the plan will be exposed, and my Yang family will suffer disaster..."
At this moment, a cavalry general and a group of infantry emerged from Xuanwu Street and moved quickly to the south of the city. Later, they saw a dozen similar situations, and they seemed to be mobilizing their troops.
Yang Biao was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up to Xiangyang Lane, the sky is about to fall!"
………………
Located in Xiangyang Lane between Baihu Street and Qinglong Street, near an inconspicuous private house, in the past few days, there have suddenly been many vegetable farmers who came to set up stalls. Their clothes are undoubtedly like ordinary people. At first glance, they also look like ordinary people.
I don’t think there is anything suspicious, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that if you set up a stall selling vegetables in such a remote alley, who would come to buy it?
The vegetable farmers were scattered in different locations. They didn't hawk or shout, they just sat there quietly, their eyes always looking around, as if to guard against something.
In the courtyard of a private house, there are piles of firewood forming the yard. Some people dressed like woodcutter are lazily leaning on the pile of firewood, but their eyes are very sharp and they are extremely vigilant.
The private house was not big, only three rooms, and the door was closed. There were some slight sounds coming from inside, like someone having a fierce argument, but the sound was deliberately lowered.
Through the gap in the door, one could see a room filled with people. A tall, elegant man wearing a dark robe stood in the center of the crowd. That person was Sikong Chenqun.
Chen Qun stood there with a livid face, scanning the faces of everyone in the room with his sharp eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "If it doesn't work, it won't work! I can't do such an unkind and unjust thing! You must act according to my plan!"
"To cut off the grass, you need to get rid of the roots. If the lives of the Ma clan are left, how should we proceed with our so-called 'horse killing' operation? Lord Sikong, although Ma Chao has been kind to you, he seems to have threatened the lives of your clan.
Let me pass you?" The person who spoke was Xu Shu, Cao Cao's counselor. He had a long sword hanging on his waist, his arms were folded across his chest, and his eyes were full of contempt for Chen Qun.
"This matter goes against my original intention. To 'kill the horse' only needs to overthrow the rule of the Ma family. There is no need to eradicate the roots. The Ma family treats me very well. I will never do such a thing." Chen
Qun sticks to his point of view and never compromises.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense. Cao Cao's old troops were standing behind Cao Cao. The leaders of the Qiang people were standing together. Chen Qun and Yang Xiu were standing together. There were also Hou Xuan, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin and others.
There were dozens of other civil servants in the court, and a small room was packed with dozens of people, making the room very lively.
Cao Cao sat there silently, his eyes constantly looking at everyone, bursting out with a strange light, he raised his hand to smooth his beard, then slowly stood up and said: "If Lord Sikong does not agree, then
This time the 'horse killing' operation should not continue. We dispersed and accepted Ma's rule as usual. However, I think
You also know that Ma Chao loves great achievements and is cruel and easy to kill. If he offends him even slightly, he may be killed. We have been discussing in secret for more than several months and have been communicating secretly. There are too many people involved. If it ends like this, I'm afraid
People's hearts will be scattered. In addition, if the 'horse-killing' cannot truly kill the horse, given Ma Chao's bravery and personality, will he let us go if he doesn't die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao winked at Yang Xiu who was standing behind Chen Qun.
Yang Xiu nodded slightly and said: "The root of the grass must be removed, otherwise it will resurgence. In Chang'an City, after three months of careful arrangements, it is already on the string. This matter is no longer the time to listen to the family, 'Zhan'
Ma' is the common wish of everyone. If Ma Chao does not die, then Zhang Xiu in Wudu and Suo Xu in Hanzhong will definitely send troops to attack him.
You know, the soldiers and horses stationed in Hanzhong and Wudu are all Ma Chao's old troops, and they will not join us. If the Ma family is wiped out and they lose their backbone, they may compromise. In addition, we
We only control half of the troops and horses in Chang'an City. If we don't rely on sudden attacks and preemptive strikes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist Ma Chao..."
"Bang!"
Before Yang Xiu could finish speaking, the door was pushed open, and a eunuch ran in and hurriedly reported: "It's not good, Ma Teng is mobilizing all the royal guards in the palace and gathered them all at the gate of Weiyang Palace.
forward……"
Good luck never comes in pairs, and misfortune never comes alone. Before the eunuch could finish his words, another person ran in and said immediately: "Ma Chao went to the barracks to mobilize soldiers and horses. He said that the whole city was searching for a man named Zhu Gongdao..."
When everyone heard the news, they all panicked. Someone immediately shouted: "Someone must have leaked the news. Act now. We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, we can only sit back and wait for death!"
"Yes, let's start beheading the horses now and kill the entire Ma family!"
"I'm going to deploy the troops and generals to strike first." Hou Xuan participated in this matter to find a good way out, but to be honest, he was really afraid of Ma Chao. He had been disadvantaged in protecting Ding Ci before.
Ding Ci died tragically. Except for Suo Xu, he, Cheng Yin, and Yang Qiu were all punished, which made them very unhappy.
Just when the candidate and others were dissatisfied, Yang Xiu took the initiative to come to the door. With his sharp tongue, he successfully persuaded him. He also brought Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu in. In this way, the garrison
in Chang'an City
Three of the six armies formed a powerful force that could confront Ma Chao. With the participation of Chen Qun, Yang Biao, Yang Xiu, Cao Cao, and the Qiang people, they saw hope and invisibly strengthened the rebel army.
Momentum.
"Wait!" Cao Cao shouted immediately, "Things are still going according to the original plan, but the time has been advanced. Act now, with the purpose of cutting off the grass and roots, the 'horse-killing' operation has officially begun!"
"Changwen, Dezu, Ma Chao has gone to the barracks..." Yang Biao walked in from the door at this time and immediately shouted, "Act quickly, otherwise all of us will suffer disaster!"
