Not to mention Huang Da's Northern Army and Huang Er's Eastern Army, Huang San's Western Army was only about five miles away from Guo Yan's camp, and it was naturally impossible to hide such a big movement. Of course, Huang San didn't plan to hide it, and Guo Yan was secretly investigating the situation early on.

"Then how could Zhang Ning's reaction be so fast? As if he had guessed it a long time ago, could it be that Jia Wen and betrayed? Or is someone exposed? After Guo Yan heard the news of the Western Army, he muttered in disbelief.

During Zhang Ning's recuperation, relying on Ma Teng to remove the surveillance of Jia Xu and others, Jia Xu quickly reached an agreement with Zhong Xuan and others and continued to exchange information. Soon after, after learning about Tang Ning from Liu Xie, he quickly formulated a careful plan, and quietly transferred his family secretly and found a group of similar-looking people to replace him. And Guo Yan hooked up with Jia Xu during this time.

The two used to work for Dong Zhuo, and they were both from Liangzhou, so under Ma Teng's command, the relationship between the two has always been very good. In addition, Jia Xu was the second strategist under Dong Zhuo in the past, and he was very valued by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, which made Guo Yan respect and admire Jia Xu very much.

So after learning about Jia Xu's plan, coupled with Ma Teng's incomparable suspicion of himself, Guo Yan could say that there was almost no hesitation, so he nodded directly and agreed.

He trusted Jia Xu's plan very much, but now the reality has poured him a basin of cold water. He only got the news two days ago, saying that he was going to do it today. But now...... He hasn't acted yet, but Zhang Ning's side has already reacted, how can this not make Guo Yan suspicious?

"Father, what now? Still going to go according to the plan? On the side, Guo An, the son of Guo Yan, asked anxiously. His eyes were full of uneasiness, as the son of Guo Yan, although he inherited his father's martial arts, but because he had not experienced too many wars, he was still very young.

And although Guo Yan was also extremely anxious at this time, he had to force himself to calm down, because he knew that the more he was in this situation, the more he needed to calm down.

"Hmm...... That Huang San just ordered the troops to guard against our army, instead of immediately sending troops to attack our army. In this way, Huang San or Zhang Ning still didn't know that I was also involved, and it was very likely that they didn't even know the whole plan. The reason why I did this was just out ......of caution," Guo Yan muttered as he thought about it.

Hearing this, Guo An hurriedly asked, "Father, what should I do now?!" Even if Huang San didn't know about it, if Jia Situ and the others really rescued the saint, we would definitely not be able to escape! ”

"Hmm......" Guo Yan didn't say anything after hearing this, frowning and continuing to think. It's just that maybe it's because using his brain is really not his strong point, or maybe maybe he was so upset by Guo An that he couldn't think about it at all?

After a while, I saw Guo Yan stand up suddenly, and shouted with a hideous expression, "Fight!" That Zhang Ning has never trusted me, even if I don't act this time, I'm afraid she will take the opportunity to trouble me in the future! What's more, how can I bend my knees to a woman as an eight-foot man?! ”

shouted, and ordered Guo An, "Pass my order and march to the south gate of Chang'an immediately!" In addition, let Guo Quan lead an army of 10,000 palaces. The Northern Army and the Eastern Army will definitely not mobilize to guard against Li Yi's troops, and the only possible gap is the South Gate! ”

"No!" Hearing this, Guo An hurriedly replied loudly, but after speaking, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Father, what if the troops at the South Gate are not mobilized?" ”

"If that's the case, just break through to Baling! With the strength of our army, even if we can't resist the pursuit of the enemy, it shouldn't be a problem to bear that Guan Yu to help. Guo Yan said in a deep voice when he heard this.

"But ......" Guo An wanted to say something more when he heard this, but before the words could be spoken, he was directly slapped by Guo Yan.

"Rubbish! Afraid of wolves and tigers, what can you do with your appearance?! It's come to this, it's just a matter of desperateness! As for success or failure, it's up to God! Guo Yan yelled angrily.

With Guo Yan's order, the 50,000 army that had been quietly prepared immediately took action, and soon after, Huang San, who received the news, immediately led his army south to pursue Guo's army. It's just that it was blocked by Guo Quan's army.

On the other side, when Huang Si resisted Chang'an, he immediately took over Chang'an's city defense. Because the defenders in charge of the city defense were all drawn from the four armies of the east, west, south and north, the defenders were veterans who followed Ma Teng from the Liangzhou period. Therefore, for Huang Si's order, he neither doubted nor dared to disobey it. Because they all know very well that Huang Dasi is the most trusted person under Ma Teng, and even has the right to cut first and then play under special circumstances.

In the imperial city, as time went by, in the face of Ma Chao's offensive, Ma Teng resisted more and more difficult. But it's no wonder that the commander on one side is hiding in the rear in civilian clothes and holding a spear, and the commander on the other side is rushing to the front with a gun and a sword, coupled with Ma Chao's deterrent power among these soldiers, as well as the courage that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes the soldiers on Ma Teng's side gradually lose the courage to continue to resist.

In the end, Ma Teng led the army to retreat into a palace, relying on the terrain to barely block Ma Chao's offensive.

Seeing that he couldn't attack for a while, Ma Chao immediately ordered to stop the attack, and then shouted at Ma Teng, "Father, surrender!" Mother will never kill you. ”

Hearing this, Ma Teng didn't respond, he just looked around into the distance, where countless soldiers wearing the same armor were fighting together. This situation made Ma Teng a little confused, because he had no idea why things suddenly turned out like this.

"Father! If you are obsessed again......" Ma Chao saw that Ma Teng did not make a sound, and shouted again, this time, his voice was a little anxious, because he was also very worried about the chaos in the imperial city, if he delayed any longer, what would happen.

It's just that before Ma Chao's words were finished, he heard a huge commotion from behind. When I turned my head to look, I saw a force of about 10,000 people rapidly approaching here. And above this unit, more than a dozen flags printed with the word "yellow" are fluttering in the wind.

With a ...... sound, the sword in Ma Teng's hand fell to the ground, and a desolate expression appeared on his face. Because he knows that everything is over.

"Father's ......" Seeing Ma Teng's appearance, Ma Chao's heart was quite panicked for a while. Although not long ago, Ma Chao was eager to kill Ma Teng, but now that the overall situation has been decided, he has become very uncomfortable. After all, they are father and son.

At this moment, Huang Si quickly came to Ma Chao's side, knelt down on one knee and shouted, "On the order of Meiyangjun, I am here to support the young general!" ”

When the words landed, I heard the sound of weapons falling to the ground, but it was the soldiers in front of Ma Teng who chose to surrender one after another. Seeing this, Ma Teng smiled bitterly, took a step and slowly walked towards Ma Chao. Now that this is the case, what else can he do? Suicide? It's not that he didn't think about it, but even if he had to die, he had to see Zhang Ning before that. Because at this time, in his heart, there is still a doubt.

Seeing this, Ma Chao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, take me to see Madame...... In addition, send someone to take Downing over as well. ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao nodded, and then said to Huang Si, "General Huang, you bring someone ...... immediately."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a soldier hurried over, "Major General! General Huang! Big things are wrong! The Holy One is gone! ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Huang Si and Ma Chao were immediately shocked, and turned their heads to look at Ma Teng almost at the same time, but they saw that he was also stunned.

"What's going on?!" Ma Teng was the first to react, and asked with an embarrassed expression. He finally understood that he seemed to be being taken advantage of.

"The villain was ordered by General Huang to lead people to protect the saint, but only saw the corpse in one place, and the saint and the queen were all gone. In addition, those people were killed by crossbow arrows. The soldier said quickly.

"Bastard! How so?! Ma Chao scolded angrily when he heard this, while Huang Si on the side was silent.

"Don't complain, Meng Qi, you immediately take people out of the city to search for the little emperor. Even if they were already out of the city, with the deployment outside the city, it would be difficult for them to run far. Ma Teng said.

As he spoke, Ma Teng turned his head to look at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and said, "Take them all over, so that they can make meritorious contributions......

Hearing this, Ma Chao looked at Ma Teng with a complicated face, then nodded heavily, and left directly with the army.

Afterwards, Ma Teng said to Huang Si, "Ji Luo, you take someone to pacify the chaos in the imperial city, and in addition, take that Tang Ning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if ...... If she's still alive......" In the end, Ma Teng's tone was full of sadness and helplessness. After hearing that Liu Xie had escaped, Ma Teng obviously figured out a lot of things.

Hearing Ma Teng's words, Huang Si hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. Subsequently, let his own soldiers be responsible for protecting or escorting Ma Teng, although Ma Teng's performance just now seemed to be no longer necessary. "Prime Minister, the villain is also acting on orders, please ......" Huang Si explained respectfully.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ma Teng, "Okay, what's the point of talking about this now?" Ma Teng sighed with a wry smile, and then walked directly out of the city.

Looking at the back of Ma Teng's departure, Huang Si was silent for a while, and then led people to various places in the imperial city to quell the rebellion.

In the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Ning looked out of the door expressionlessly, she had been in this posture for a long, long time, whether it was the news that the little emperor was missing, or the news of Guo Yan's rebellion, it did not make her expression change in the slightest.

She sat quietly in her position like this, and she didn't know how long it took, when a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and after a while, she saw Ma Teng appear outside the door, and beside him, there were several soldiers sent by Huang Si to escort Ma Teng.

"Go and stay outside, no one is allowed to come close to this for fifty steps." Zhang Ning looked at the soldiers and said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, the soldiers hesitated for a moment, but finally gave Zhang Ning a salute and left.

It wasn't until calm was restored outside the house that Zhang Ning looked at Ma Teng again, at this time, his clothes were stained red with blood, and his hair was scattered on his shoulders, looking so embarrassed.

"Alas...... Sit down......" Zhang Ning sighed and looked at Ma Teng and said faintly.

Nodding, Ma Teng sat cross-legged opposite Zhang Ning, just as they had done when they were discussing things in the past. It's just that they are no longer the same people they used to be.

The two just looked at each other like this, no one seemed to speak, and I don't know how long it took, Zhang Ning sighed again, and said faintly, "Shoucheng, I really don't want things to be like this, but ......"

"Needless to say, the moment the emperor disappeared, I understood that I was being used...... Ma Teng waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Ning's words, "I was fascinated by power, all of this is just my own fault......"

After speaking, seeing that Zhang Ning seemed to want to say something, Ma Teng preemptively said again, "Don't comfort me, the facts are already in front of you." As Meng Qi said, if there is no wife, my Ma Shoucheng is just a barren hunter in Di Dao, at most, he is just following the rebels to survive. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Teng looked directly at Zhang Ning and said again, "Now I came here just because there are some doubts in my heart that have not yet been solved, I don't know if Madame is willing to solve my doubts?" ”

"If Shou Cheng has any doubts, just ask, I must know everything." Hearing Ma Teng's words, Zhang Ning sighed again. Today's Zhang Ning, where is the decisive appearance of the previous killing? It looks like a sentimental little woman.

Hearing this, Ma Teng showed a hint of a smile, then looked at Zhang Ning and asked, "Madam, in the past, you proposed that I reorganize the troops into four armies and be commanded by Bowen and them, did you think of today?" And if you calculate the time, Ji Luo seems to come too fast......"

"Yes and no......," Zhang Ning said in a complicated tone, "The reason why I did this is because I am worried that I will not be able to completely control you in the future, and on the other hand, it is to prevent those scholars from ...... So I put Berwen and them in charge of the four armies, and secretly took complete control of the troops. At the same time, four wooden plaques were made, and four people were arranged in the city to deliver the letters. If Junqi sent them over, it means that someone has rebelled, but it is still under control. If it is sent by the maid, it means that the situation is out of control......"

"It's worthy of Madame," Ma Teng sighed...... "In this way, the entire Liangzhou family has basically been accepted by Madame, right?" ”

"Not bad." Zhang Ning nodded, "In order to achieve the goal, I can do whatever it takes to bear any infamy!" And this purpose ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Ning paused, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, Ma Teng showed a smile again, "Madame doesn't need to tell me your purpose, although I still have a doubt, but it's not this." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ma Teng and said with a smile, "Shou Cheng asks." ”

"Madame...... You marry me as a wife......" Ma Teng asked with a direct look at Zhang Ning, his tone full of expectation and worry.

Hearing Ma Teng's words, Zhang Ning suddenly showed a gentle smile, "The concubine has never regretted marrying a gentleman......
