This person's eyes lit up after listening to Ma Chao's words, and he could feel that Ma Chao's words were sincere.

"Why are you helping me?"

Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "I don't want to help you, but I just want to do something I want to do!" ”

Hearing Ma Chao say this, he didn't say anything more. So Ma Chao untied the rope for him, and asked his subordinates to go to the kitchen to make some ash on the bottom of the pot, and then wiped it on the person's face. There is no way, if you want to go out of the city, you have to do this, after all, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Ma Chao looked at it again, and he was quite satisfied, anyway, in the middle of the night, you couldn't see this person's appearance clearly.

After that, he took out another set of clothes, saying that it was more like a cloak than a cloak, a set of black cloaks, and after letting this person put them on, it would be considered to have all the makeup done. With this cloak, the hat of the cloak is absolutely unrecognizable.

Ma Chao nodded, "Okay, let's go!" ”

And he had prepared a horse for him, and he must not be allowed to walk. So in this way, the two of them went out of the house and went to the city gate. Of course, before this, Ma Chao had already asked his subordinates to patrol the street several times, and they only left the house after confirming that there was nothing abnormal.

Ma Chao and the two came to the gate of the city, "What...... It turned out to be an adult! I don't know if the adults are here late at night......"

"Out of town! Open the gates, I have something important to go out of the city tonight! ”

"No! Open the gates and let the adults out of the city! "Without even thinking about it, he let people open the city gate and let Ma Chao and them out of the city.

The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, although they have already received an order that they must not open the city gates tonight because they want to arrest the rebels in the city. But when the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was their immediate boss who came, he didn't dare not open it. Ma Chao is the captain of the city gate, in charge of all the gates of Luoyang City, and his words are naturally good. And the one behind him didn't pay much attention to it, and the people who followed him didn't dare to have any suspicions, no one thought that that person was the rebel who was going to be arrested tonight.

In this way, Ma Chao and the others left Luoyang City so easily. has been sending this person out of more than ten miles, Ma Chao then stopped and got off the horse, and when he saw Ma Chao get off the horse, the other party also stopped and got off the horse.

Ma Chao took out a money bag from his arms and stuffed it into this person's hand, "I can only send it here, you can take this money well, I think it will be enough for you to go to Guangzong City, okay, take care!" ”

This person was holding the money bag in his hand, quite moved, of course, he was not moved because of the money, but because he and the person in front of him didn't even say three words, but the other party saved himself, and he sent himself out of Luoyang for more than ten miles, and he didn't even know the name of the other party.

I saw him hug his fist at Ma Chao, "In Xia Ma Yuanyi, I haven't asked for the name of Engong yet!" ”

After hearing this, Ma Chao waved his hand, "You don't have to call it that, I am Fufeng Ma Chao Ma Mengqi!" ”

"Fufeng Ma Chao Ma Mengqi, I wrote it down below!"

After speaking, Ma Yuanyi got on the horse, and hugged Ma Chao again, "Don't thank you for your kindness, I'm going to say goodbye!" ”

Ma Chao didn't say anything, but he also gave up his hand to Ma Yuanyi, and then Ma Yuanyi rode away.

Ma Yuanyi, this name is remembered, looking at the back of Ma Yuanyi riding the horse away, Ma Chao thought in his heart. Don't look at Ma Yuanyi, who didn't say a few words to himself, and is not like others who are kind and short, and they say that they can't be repaid, and they say that they must be repaid in the future. But Ma Chaozhi said that Ma Yuanyi really wrote down his kindness. And he didn't want to blackmail Entubao, he just felt that Ma Yuanyi could be a person.

In fact, Ma Chao can feel that Ma Yuanyi is definitely the master of oil and salt. Even if he dies, he will not betray Taiping Dao a little, although it is true that there are traitors in Taiping Dao, there is no shortage of loyal people like Ma Yuanyi. As Ma Chao, he admires and appreciates such a loyal person, so it is worth helping such a person!

Ma Chao walked back to Luoyang, yes, he didn't ride a horse again, the white lion just walked beside him. In fact, even if Ma Chao returned to the mansion right now, it would be impossible for him to fall asleep. So it's better to think about the problem while walking, and this is a more convenient time to think in the dead of night.

Moreover, in fact, Ma Chao is a person who can be more sympathetic to his subordinates, he doesn't want the city gate guards to open the city gate for him back and forth, just walk back slowly, and the city gate should be opened at that time. So just like that, he walked back to Luoyang.

After returning to Luoyang, Ma Chao got the exact news that Liu Hong had already issued an order to start suppressing Taiping Dao, and also executed two people in the palace who colluded with Taiping Dao, and also ordered Jizhou to immediately arrest Zhang Jiao and other thieves. To say that at the beginning, the imperial court thought that the Taiping Dao was a good way to persuade people to be kind, so it did not pay attention to them until the Taiping Dao insiders told the truth, and the imperial court did not know about the Dao, and the result has come to this day.

And Ma Chao, as the captain of the city gate, has naturally been ordered to strictly investigate the people in the past, as long as there are believers in the Taiping Dao, no matter what the situation, they will be arrested and interrogated, no matter what can be asked, they will be killed in the end.

Julu, Guangzong City, and Zhang Jiao have already known that Lu Dao has leaked the news, and now Taiping Dao has been listed as a traitor. The so-called arrow was on the string and had to be sent, so he had to raise things in advance and openly rebelled against the imperial court.

I only heard Zhang Jiao shouting to everyone: "Today, the luck of the great Han will come to an end, and the great sage will come out." And we should all obey the heavens and be peaceful! The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! ”

I saw countless people with yellow scarves shouting: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious!" ”

If Ma Chao is here, he will definitely sigh when he sees this situation, in addition to lamenting that there are many people who are forced to be cornered, and the momentum of the yellow scarf is huge, there is also a feeling that the power of religion is really very strong.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the court was corrupt, the eunuchs and relatives fought openly and secretly, and the country became weaker and weaker. In addition, due to two consecutive years of severe drought, the grain harvest was not reduced, but the taxes were not reduced, so that the desperate poor peasants finally broke out under the command of Julu Zhangjiao, the largest religious form of organized rebellion in Chinese history.

And Zhang Jiao divided the Taiping Dao believers in You, Ji, Yan, Qing, Henan, Xu, Jing, and Yang into 36 parties, with more than 10,000 people in the big party and 6 or 7,000 people in the small side, and each side set up a Qu Shuai, which was commanded by him. And Zhang Jiao called himself 'General Tiangong', and his brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were called 'General Digong' and 'General Rengong' respectively.

In this way, still with the sixteen words that Ma Chao said before as the slogan, the Yellow Turban Army began to attack the city, then burned the official mansion, killed the officials, and looted everywhere. All the way was like a bamboo, the state and county were lost, the officials fled, and finally the Beijing division was shaken.

And Ma Chao has been so busy in the past few days that Liu Hong even stopped teaching Liu Wei. He also wanted Ma Chao to strictly guard his post to ensure the safety of Luoyang.

These Ma Chao can also understand, after all, Liu Hong is not very bold. Usually when it's more peaceful, you may not feel anything about him. But now that this is the case, when it was his turn to be the emperor, he actually caught up with such a large-scale peasant uprising, and he, Liu Hong, was naturally frightened. They are worried all day long, for fear that the Yellow Turban Army will come to Luoyang.

The general He Jin admonished Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, now that this thief is powerful and the court has few soldiers, the minister thinks that the states and counties should be allowed to recruit troops and garrison on their own, and work with the court to jointly suppress the Yellow Turban traitors!" ”

"I think what the general said is very true, so I will follow what the general said."

Liu Hong is not in the mood at all these days, and he is even more scared. But as an emperor, since someone has rebelled against you, then you have to suppress it, and if you don't take action, it will definitely not work.

So he ordered all localities to recruit their own troops and garrisons, and ordered all states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels. He also asked He Jin to rate the five battalions of Yulin to stay in Duting and guard the Beijing Division. He also set up garrisons at Kyoto Passes, such as Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Koheima, and issued an edict to strictly guard against traitors.

Huangfu Song admonished, "Your Majesty, the minister thought that the party ban should be lifted as soon as possible, and then took out the palace money and the good horses in the West Garden to give to the sergeants to boost morale!" ”

"What Aiqing said is very true, just follow what Aiqing said!"

In this situation now, Liu Hong is greedy for money, and he also knows that he can't be stingy anymore, and he must give up some when he should be willing to give up. Without the country, there will be no money, let alone the ancestors and ancestors who will not have the face to see the Han again.

Liu Hong also ordered Zhonglang to bring in Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, each of whom led elite soldiers and crusaded against the traitors in three ways.

Lu Zhi is the deputy general and the five sergeants of the Northern Army are in charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling more than 40,000 people from the Five Schools, the Three Rivers Knights and the newly recruited elite warriors to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area. After that, Zhu Jun recruited Sun Jian from Xiapi as the Sima of the Zuo Army, and took the young people in the township and recruited various merchant brigades and elite soldiers from Huaishui and Surabaya to set off with Zhu Jun's army.

Ma Chao, as the captain of the city gate, now he sees the most fast horses coming and going to Luoyang every day, and there are too many news sent to Luoyang from all over the world, but he also knows that few of them are good things.

And what Liu Hong is afraid of is these things, the last thing he wants to hear is: "Report to Your Majesty, the military situation ahead, XX County is lost, and XX City is occupied by Yellow Turban traitors!" XX County Taishou XX was killed...... these series of things. Liu Hong thought that at a critical time, the defenders of the Han counties could not defeat a group of traitors who could not eat. He was afraid that if he continued to develop at this rate, this moth thief might be able to hit Luoyang.
