Become a feudal king from today

"Drive, drive..."

At the east gate of Xiancheng, Dian Zhang broke through the obstruction of the gatekeepers and disappeared into the darkness with his horse leaping forward.

Before they had gone two miles, they heard the sound of several bowstrings behind them.

"Ah..." Ma Yue let out a scream in the darkness and was about to fall off the horse.

Dianzhang had quick eyes and quick hands and pulled Ma Yue directly onto his horse.

In the dim light, he saw a sharp arrow piercing Ma Yue's back and coming out of his chest.

"Dianzhang, I'm afraid I can't survive. Leave me quickly, take my military talisman and go to Sizhou, then send people to Yancheng to welcome Ma Han back, and raise troops to clean up Ma Jin, the rebellious Ma family." Ma's leaping voice was like a silk thread, Putting something cold into Dian Zhang's hand, it turned out to be a soldier talisman.

"Sir..." Dianzhang shouted.

"hurry up!"

Seeing the fire behind him getting closer and closer, Ma Yue used his last strength to push the code hard and rolled off his horse.

Dian Zhang almost broke his silver teeth and held the weapon talisman tightly.

Looking back at the thick darkness, he whipped his horse whip and moved forward quickly.

Half an hour later, the cavalry chasing him was gradually thrown away by him.

He continued on his way east, and two days later, a majestic pass appeared in front of him.

This pass faces the Jin River to the north and steep mountains to the south.

Behind Xiongguan is Sizhou, and this pass is Qinguan, known as the second pass of Dasong.

Currently, this pass is guarded by soldiers under Ma Yue's command.

After passing Qin Pass, he immediately went to see the Qin Pass guard general and showed Ma Yue's military talisman.

"This is indeed Lord Zhou Mu's military talisman." Qin Guan Shou stretched his horse to take the military talisman from Dian Zhang's hand and frowned.

"Ma Jin is crazy. If he kills all the clan elders now, he is afraid that he will raise troops to go to Sizhou next. We should close the city gate tightly and take back the young master." Dianzhang said.

Ma Shen still hasn't recovered from what the regulations told him.

Although the powerful family is also full of interest disputes, the Ma family has never experienced such a big turmoil.

But at the moment, he didn't dare to believe only one side of the law.

So while he ordered to prepare materials for defending the city, he sent people to Xiancheng secretly to inquire.

Dianzhang continued eastward and arrived at Luocheng, the seat of Sizhou, and brought the news to Ma Yue's eldest son, Ma Lan.

But what he didn't expect was that when he met Ma Lan, he also met a familiar person, who turned out to be Ma Yuan.

"Ma Yushi." Dianzhang said in surprise.

Ma Lan smiled softly, "Now we can no longer call him Ma Yushi, but Ma Zhoumu. From now on, my uncle will be in charge of Jinzhou, hahaha."

Just yesterday, Ma Yuan arrived in Luo City.

After reminiscing with him, the next topic was about welcoming Ma Han back to Qinzhou.

He and his father have always been on good terms with Ma Xuan and his son.

And even according to the ancestral system of the Ma family, Ma Han should inherit the Ma family.

If Ma Han is unqualified, it will be up to all the clan elders to decide whether to choose someone else.

He was even more happy after learning that Ma Yuan was appointed as the pastor of Jinzhou.

Although he understood the temperament of this clan uncle, from outsiders' perspective, Ma Yuan's appointment as the shepherd of Jinzhou still expanded the power of the Ma family.

Ma Lan, a member of the Ma family, has mediocre qualifications and has always been careless.

He was so happy that he didn't see the strangeness in the code, but Ma Yuan saw it at this time.

Not to mention that Dian Zhang's armor was covered in blood, but Dian Zhang's expression was also very solemn.

He ignored Ma Lan, who was talking to himself, and asked, "General Dian, what happened?"

Dian Zhang then took the soldier talisman in his hand and handed it to the two of them, "Ma Jin summoned the clan elders to discuss the matter of welcoming back the young master, but he killed them at the banquet. Ma Yuezhou Mu was killed when he was fleeing with the last general. He was hit by an arrow and died. Before he died, he ordered his last general to go to Sizhou to raise troops to attack Ma Jin and welcome the young master back. "

The smile on Ma Lan's face suddenly froze, and he stammered: "You...you...what did you say?"

"The Mayue clan elder was killed by Ma Jin." Dianzhang repeated.

Ma Lan looked at the military talisman in Dian Zhang's hand, and then thought about Dian Zhang's words. He rolled his eyes, fainted, and fell straight back.

Ma Yuan hurriedly supported Ma Lan and pinched the person.

Not long after, Ma Lan woke up and cried loudly, "Dad, my dad..."

Ma Yuan shook his head. He understood Ma Lan's temperament and was a nerd.

Although I have read a lot of books, I am a bit dull and cannot bear the big responsibility.

Although he was equally shocked in his heart, he forced himself to calm down and said: "I have met Ma Han in Yancheng. Without further delay, I should go to Yancheng immediately to pick up Ma Han and come back to preside over the overall situation of the Ma family."

Dianzhang nodded and said: "Ma Jin holds the Ma family's heavy troops, and the Sizhou soldiers alone may not be able to resist. I hope you can borrow troops from King Yan to eradicate Ma Jin."

"The King of Yan has promised to lend troops to Ma Han, but it is pity that my Ma family has suffered such disaster." Ma Yuan sighed.

After deciding on the matter, he immediately set off for Yancheng.

Now Ma Jin has done such a crazy thing.

No one in the Ma family can control him.

The only way Ma Han could go was to use the troops of King Yan to pacify the Ma family.

…

Yancheng.

After driving for three days, Ma Yuan arrived in Yancheng.

Without time to rest, he immediately went to the palace with Ma Han and told Zhao Xu about the incident in the Ma family.

"Ma Jin is making a desperate move and jumping over the wall." Zhao Xu frowned.

What he hopes most for the Ma family is that power is transferred peacefully to Ma Han.

In this way, the Ma family can stabilize and become King Yan's helper in guarding important passes to the west.

Of course, he had expected the worst, as it was now.

Ma Chong and Ma Jin rebelled.

After all, in ancient times, rebellions were commonplace.

As long as interests are at odds, there will be forces for rebellion.

What's more, the system of Dasong was originally deformed, and now it continues to decline, and people's minds are confused.

In my memory, the history of Dasong was also marked by rebellions by children of powerful clans.

However, after the rebellion was put down, the children of the powerful clan were killed, but the powerful clan was still a powerful clan and continued to exist.

This is not because the emperor is an idiot, but because the powerful people have knowledge.

Only they could provide officials and generals to the court.

Moreover, the rebellion was only the dissatisfied children of the powerful clan, not the entire powerful clan, so it did not affect the entire clan.

This is somewhat similar to the king and horse in the contemporary Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The king is from the Wang family of Langye, and the horse is from the Sima family.

At that time, the Langxie Wang family was the largest family.

Most of the children in the family serve as high-ranking officials and generals in the court.

Among them, there are important children of the Wang family, one named Wang Dao and the other named Wang Dun.

Wang Dun was greedy for power and eventually launched a rebellion, which was eventually put down by the court.

However, Director Wang supported the imperial court and helped the imperial court pacify Wang Dun.

After that, the Wang family was not affected and was still the most famous family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

But at the moment, the Ma Jin Rebellion is still an internal chaos within the Ma family.

It's just that he doesn't want this chaos to continue to expand.

Otherwise, it will easily lead to more unexpected turmoil.

"Your Highness, please help our Ma family." Ma Han knelt down and couldn't help crying.

His father died tragically, and the Ma family was now like this again. He, who was supposed to be the head of the Ma family, felt like a knife was cutting through his heart.

Ma Yuan also had a solemn look on his face, "Your Highness, Ma Yuan is begging you too. This is also for the stability of Da Song. Ma Jin will do anything in this rebellion."

Zhao Xu pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and said: "Originally, I only wanted to give you 30,000 horses, but now it seems that it is necessary to give you 60,000 horses to quell the civil strife as soon as possible."

Ma Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this.

King Yan defeated Xiliang in Jinzhou with only 80,000 troops.

These 60,000 men and horses together with the Ma family's troops will definitely be able to defeat Ma Jin.

When Ma Han heard this, he looked excited and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhao Xu nodded and immediately called Chang Wei.

"Your Highness, there is a sudden increase of 30,000 troops. I'm afraid it will take a few days to prepare food and grass." Chang Wei said.

Ma Han said at this time: "General Chang, you only need to bring dry food for a few days. There is no delay. When we get to Sizhou, my Ma family will supply the general with food and grass."

"Well, that's okay." Chang Wei said.

"In this case, don't delay and head to Sizhou quickly." Zhao Xu said.

When he was in Jinzhou, he saw the combat effectiveness of Ma Jin's army.

Although this Ma Jin is ruthless, running an army is just that, and he will not be as difficult to defeat as Xiliang.

Moreover, not all the Ma family's soldiers and horses are in his hands.

Furthermore, his killing of many Ma family elders this time will definitely make many Ma family children dissatisfied.

Even if they obey Ma Jin out of fear, I am afraid that these disciples will not sincerely work for Ma Jin.

The combat effectiveness of Ma Jin's army has to be discounted.

Without further ado.

Deciding to borrow troops, the three of them bowed and left.

The next day, Chang Wei personally led the army to set off, entered from Jinzhou, and crossed the Jin River south to Sizhou.
