Obviously, although Li Yi sent people to Chang'an to inquire about the news of Huangfu Song's murder, in his heart, he had already decided that the person who killed Huangfu Song was Ma Teng. Because in Li Yi's view, he has a full motive and a reason to do so.

To put it bluntly, it's very simple, Huangfu Song's prestige is too high...... As a famous general who quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huangfu Song himself had a very high prestige in the imperial court. Moreover, after Huangfu Song is a famous family, there are many friends in the court, if you let the scholars choose, Li Yi believes that more than ninety percent of the scholars will choose to support Huangfu Song.

The most important thing is that Huangfu Song is also the nephew of Huangfu Gui, one of the three Ming in Liangzhou, and once served as the county guard of Beidi. It can be said that Huangfu Song's prestige in Liangzhou may not necessarily lose much compared to Dong Zhuo in the past, let alone compared with Ma Teng, who was born as a traitor.

And the reason why Ma Teng was able to control the imperial court was, in Li Yi's view, by force. On the contrary, most of the soldiers under Ma Teng's command were from Liangzhou. And Duan Xuan, Yang Ding, and Hu Zhen, who surrendered to Ma Teng, are also from Liangzhou. In this way, in the case of instigation by someone with a heart, will they betray Ma Teng and attach themselves to Huangfu Song?

In fact, this is not only Li Yi can guess, but also Guo Jia and Xun Yu. Even many scholars and doctors in the Chang'an Imperial Court and the little emperor Liu Xie can guess it, after all, this is not a difficult thing to guess. Of course, like Li Yi, there is no evidence of any person.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Jia and Xun Yu don't know how to persuade Li Yi. However, what reassured the two of them was that Li Yi did not break out into a thunderous rage because of this, and directly raised troops to attack Sanfu to defeat Ma Teng. Instead, they chose to find out the news first, and at the same time prepare for war. Therefore, although Guo Jia and Xun Yu were still sad, they still followed Li Yi's orders.

Immediately, the Shadow Department soldiers in Bingzhou began to pour into Chang'an in large numbers, and at the same time, the entire territory under Li Yizhi began to be strong, and countless armaments, grains and grass began to be concentrated. This made the state, which has always been peaceful and stable, a rare trace of slaughter.

And after learning about the situation, Cai Yong and the others also didn't know how to persuade, but sighed and told Li Yi to think twice before acting, not to get carried away by anger. As a result, Lu Bu and the others were all gearing up, and they seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming battle.

In mid-April, Chang'an.

After all, after taking control of the court, Ma Teng sent a large number of spies to monitor and probe the intelligence of Bingzhou, not to mention that Li Yi did not have any intention of concealing it.

"Alas...... knew that Li Yi was not so easy to dismiss. Ma Teng shook his head and sighed, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Hehe, even if Li Yi doesn't believe it, what can he do? Does he dare to send troops directly? Zhang Ning, who was sitting by the window, heard Ma Teng's sigh and smiled without raising his head, "Now except for Hedong and Hongnong, which were occupied by Li Yi, the rest have fallen into the hands of the gentleman, and the gentleman, as a hussar general who controls the imperial court, to go to war with the gentleman is equivalent to a war with the imperial court......"

"Having said that, but ......" Ma Teng heard Zhang Ning's words, and the worry on his face did not decrease.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning suddenly put down Jian Ce, stood up and walked in front of Ma Teng, his fingers lightly picked Ma Teng's chin, making him look up at him, "The gentleman is afraid?" ”

"I ......" Hearing this, Ma Teng immediately wanted to deny it, but he just looked at Zhang Ning's charming and seductive gaze, with a look that saw through everything, but the word "not afraid" couldn't be said at all.

"Hehe, indeed, since Li Yi killed Helian into the eyes of the people of the world, he hunted the Hu people in the north, pacified the Yellow Turban, forced the Huns to surrender, crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and confronted that Yuan Shao, and won dozens of battles in his life, especially that Zhang Ji was also attacked and killed by that Li Yi...... The gentleman is a little afraid of it, but it is also human nature. Zhang Ning looked at Ma Teng so condescendingly, with a hint of mockery in his coquettish eyes, and said all the thoughts in Ma Teng's heart without caring at all.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have been killed by Ma Teng, who was embarrassed and angry, with a sword at this time, but now from Zhang Ning's mouth, Ma Teng did not have any other thoughts except guilt. Even in the end, Zhang Ning's mocking gaze at him, Ma Teng didn't feel any shame, as if all this was half of what he deserved, and even in the depths of his heart, there was a trace of happiness that even he hadn't been able to discover.

Seeing Ma Teng's ashamed appearance, the corners of Zhang Ning's mouth curved slightly, turned around and walked to the window to look at the sky outside and chuckled, "Don't worry, gentleman, although it is becoming more and more chaotic today, the prestige of the imperial court is still there, give him Li Yi ten dares, and he will not dare to directly be an enemy of the imperial court." ”

And even if he used the method of crusading against Dong Zhuo in the past to raise troops to crusade against the gentleman, but now that Yuan Shao is attacking each other with Gongsun Zhan, Yanzhou is also too busy to take care of himself because of the resurgence of the Yellow Turban, although Yuan Shu in Yuzhou has many generals, but the surrounding Liu Biao, Liu Xuan, and Tao Qian are all wary of him. And he is arrogant and arrogant, how can he respond to Li Yi's call. Zhang Ning kept talking, and with his words, Ma Teng's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"In this way, the gentleman who plays Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and has more than 300,000 troops, still needs to be afraid of that Li Yi?" Zhang Ning looked at Ma Teng with confidence and said. There was a hint of inexplicable magic in her voice, which made people can't help but believe what she said.

"Not bad! Now that I have control of the imperial court, and I am sitting on the entire Guanzhong, why should I be afraid of that Li Yi?! Ma Teng clenched his fists and whispered, not knowing whether he was responding to Zhang Ning's words or cheering himself up.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning told Ma Teng the specific way to deal with it, and after a while, Ma Teng left the mansion with confidence, it seemed that even if Li Yi was standing in front of him now, he would have the confidence to fight with him.

"Alas, Shoucheng's character is afraid that it will become a fatal shortcoming in the future." Zhang Ning sighed as he looked at Ma Teng's disappearing back at the gate, but then laughed at himself and said, "However, isn't that the cost of life?" If not, how can you obey me? ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning turned around and returned to the room, picked up the copy of Jian Ce again and looked at it, "Dong Zhuo actually secretly wooed Jia Long and the others before, but you can test it...... Well, there is also this Zhang Lu, judging from this information, it should not be true that Liu Yan is ......" Zhang Ning muttered, and then called his subordinates and ordered him to immediately invite Jia Xu to come to the discussion.
