Chapter 557 (Part II)

Cheng is also Ma Wu, defeat is also Ma Wu!

Previously, Zhao Mu was full of expectations for Ma Wu, hoping that the other party would defeat the Yan army, pass through the mountain, and the Tiger Ben army would break into the Yan country, rob the Yan country's wealth, and reverse the empty situation of the Zhao country's treasury.

However, in the blink of an eye, all the good things were broken, and Ma Wu turned into a sharp sword hanging above his head, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would fall down at any time and kill himself.

After taking the letter from the guard's hand and quickly opening it, Zhao Mu browsed it in a hurry.

He needed to quickly determine whether the content of the letters sent back by Ma Wu was consistent with the contents of the letters he had browsed, and whether there were any similarities.

So as to find out the clues of Ma Wu's betrayal and take precautions in advance.

Ma Wuxin said that in the previous battle, the 20,000 Xinzhao troops were defeated, and the other party fled quickly, and the troops did not move for several days, and the army led by Lin Xiao did not move an inch, and the crisis in Qingyang County was resolved.

Upon learning of an uprising to the west of Handan City, he requested to lead 20,000 Tiger Ben troops back to Handan City to quell the rebellion.

Annihilating 20,000 and leading 20,000 troops, it was a coincidence that Zhao Mu couldn't help but take a deep breath, but his heart was still not calm.

Since the battle with the Yan army, he has been thinking about it day and night, looking forward to the good news from the front.

Even, not long ago, I was still looking forward to the good news on the front line and change the situation between Yan and Zhao.

At this time, Ma Wu sent back the good news, he did not have the slightest joy, on the contrary, he became very panicked, and he was deeply jealous of Ma Wu in his heart.

The other party has seventy or eighty thousand tiger troops in his hands, and he may not be able to control them all for the time being, but if he bewitches the tiger army and kills back to Handan City, coupled with the existence of the Xinzhao army, the Jingshi Guards will not be able to stop the other party at all.

What kind of good news, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, it must be hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, Ma Wu's conquest consumed the Tiger Ben army, and used the Xinzhao army to replace it, so as to completely gain control of the army.

The letter proposed to lead 20,000 tiger troops back to Beijing to quell the people's uprising, which was exactly the same as described in the information received earlier, and after returning to Beijing, it was time to eradicate everyone.

This bastard, ungrateful, knew that the other party was not credible, he should not have handed over the seventy or eighty thousand tiger army to him, and he should have killed him directly.

With a little annoyance and remorse, he handed the letter to Xu Wenhao, Zhao Mu's expression was condensed, and he said categorically: "No matter what means you rely on, you must not let Ma Wu return to Handan City." ”

At this time, Zhao Mu decided that Ma Wu would betray Zhao Guo and betray himself, if Ma Wu could not clear the suspicion, according to what Ma Wu said in his heart, letting him enter Beijing may be no different from luring a wolf into the house.

Xu Wenhao read the letters, and he was also trembling and very sorry.

After being entangled, he hoped to find direct evidence of Ma Wu's betrayal, and then remove Ma Wu from military power and put him in prison for trial.

After all, Ma Wu's victory on the Eastern Front, if there is no evidence, relying on rumors to secretly eradicate Ma Wu, not only will it affect the situation in Yan Zhao, but there will finally be a good opportunity to enter Yan State, because Ma Wu's death will be in vain.

In addition, Li Mu Fengzixiu and the two generals eliminated Ma Wu, which would inevitably cause the two generals to deviate from the court, and even the other party refused to carry out the court's orders in order to seek self-preservation.

Therefore, this matter must not be sloppy and must not be handled arbitrarily.

After thinking about it, Xu Wenhao stabilized his mood and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the matter of Ma Wu is very important, according to the content of the two letters, both prove that Ma Wu has won, and Wei Chen guesses that the rumors about Ma Wu will not be deliberately spread by Yan Jun, ready to kill people with a knife to eradicate Ma Wu."

Therefore, Weichen felt that whether to prohibit Ma Wu from entering Beijing only required the other party to prove his innocence. ”

"Tell me, what's the solution?" If it weren't for threatening Jiangshan Sheji and threatening his own life, Zhao Mu would not exaggerate the suspicion of Ma Wu's betrayal, and at present, Xu Wenhao made a suggestion, and he didn't mind listening to it.

Xu Wenhao did not hesitate, stroked his beard and said: "The method is very simple, Ma Wu defeated the new Zhao army on the eastern front, and the emperor can order the other party to continue to attack the Yan army's troops, if Ma Wu agrees to continue the march, it shows that someone is framing Ma Wu, and the rumors are self-defeating, if Ma Wu refuses to fight with the Yan army, it proves that Ma Wu and Zhao Shide colluded and must be quickly eradicated." ”

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Mu's mouth, whether Ma Wu was loyal to Zhao Guo or not, it seemed that the only way to do this was at present.

From the bottom of his heart, Ma Wu won the victory on the Eastern Front, and he didn't want Ma Wu to defect at this time, otherwise, Zhao Guo would miss another good opportunity.

"Proposed purpose, Ma Wu was specially named the general of Zhendong because of his meritorious service in defeating the Xinzhao army, rewarded thousands of acres of fertile land outside Handan City, and hoped that the general would make persistent efforts to annihilate the Yan army as soon as possible and recover Qingyang County." Zhao Mudao.

......,

Qingyang County, the camp of the Tiger Army.

Ma Wu sat in the tent, his expression was a little unhappy and bitter, after arriving in Qingyang County a year ago, he was attacked by the Yan army from east to west, and the two sides fought hard many times, and each other won and lost.

However, the grain and grass brought a few years ago were exhausted, and he asked the court for relief many times, but there was no news.

As the food crisis became more and more serious, the officers and men of the three armies became more and more manic, and many people took risks to steal the army's food, and some people took refuge in the Yan army all night under the temptation of the Yan army's food.

As the commander of the three armed forces, Ma Wu knows very well in his heart how much harm the food crisis will bring if it continues to brew.

Not long ago, in order to snatch food, he sent an army to fight with the Yan army, hunger and cold forced the tiger army, to meet the tiger and wolf division of the Yan cavalry, and lost more than two people in the first battle.

The morale of the whole army plummeted, and the army retreated into the camp, refusing to fight.

The house leak happened to be rainy and rainy, and when the Tiger Ben army was newly defeated, Qingyang County, the first line of Handan City, there was news of his collusion with Zhao Shide.

For a while, Ma Wu only felt that the situation had deteriorated, and in order to clear his suspicion, he begged the court to send food and heard the ring, and personally wrote a letter to Zhao Mu to ask for guilt, indicating the battle situation in Qingyang County and his loyalty to Zhao State.

A few days have passed, the rumors have not stopped, there is no edict from the court, Ma Wu is in a dilemma, continue, the tiger army will not last long, it will fall into starvation in an all-round way, the battle situation is unfavorable, and the court's suspicion of him must be getting heavier and heavier.

Signaling all the generals in the tent to go out, leaving only the deputy general Guo Zhan Hun behind, Ma Wu said bluntly and softly: "Zhan Hun , you should have heard the rumors outside, I would have written to the court, but I didn't get a reply for a long time, and most of them were guessed by Emperor Zhao." It is estimated that if there is no news from the court within two days, most of the military power in your hands will be removed from your hands in the future. ”

Guo Zhanhun followed Ma Wu for a long time, and the two of them partnered for several years at the beginning of the Liang State, and the Liang State was destroyed, and at the same time they took refuge in the Zhao State.

He is well aware of Ma Wu's character and ambition, hoping to fight for a place in the troubled times and become a prince.

If it weren't for this idea, Zhao Chongguo, the general of Liang, would not have been defeated in Guochangcheng, and Liang would not have lost the nine northern counties.

At present, the two of them came to Zhao State, and they should have served Zhao State wholeheartedly, but unfortunately, Ma Wu did not plan how to defeat the Yan army, but he was calculating, how to completely control the seventy or eighty thousand tiger army under his command, so that the other party was all loyal to him.

At this time, hearing Ma Wu's words, Guo Zhanhun was helpless, not long ago, he suggested that Ma Wu pretend to attack the Xinzhao troops, and secretly attack Lin Xiao's army, but Ma Wu directly refused.

attacked the Lin Xiao army at night, but was calculated by the other party, and the tiger army completely shrank.

"General, if you don't want to leave Zhao and don't want to arouse the suspicion of the Zhao court, the only way to defeat the Yan army as soon as possible and prove your innocence with your military exploits is to destroy the rumors, otherwise, the rumors will continue to spread, and the general will not be trusted by the Zhao court at best, or he will be secretly executed."

Hearing this, Ma Wu was speechless, and instead waved his hand to signal Guo Zhanhun to leave.

Walking out of the handsome tent, Guo Zhanhun sighed deeply, he spoke to Ma Wu, but the other party didn't care, according to Ma Wu's character, he would not rebel at present, and he would definitely rebel again in the future, stay by his side, there is no good future at all.

Liang Guoshi, he had the heart to leave Ma Wu, but the situation forced him not to choose to leave, at present, Ma Wu is half-hearted to Zhao Guo, perhaps, it is time to leave.

Not long after Guo Zhanhun walked out of the tent, a messenger from Handan City walked into the tent.

Ma Wu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and after the messenger took out the holy decree and read it, Ma Wu tried to greet the other party and show Zhao Mu's attitude. Unexpectedly, the messenger said lightly: "General, do it for yourself, and ask for more blessings!" ”

In the words, it seems that Ma Wu is summoned to return to Handan City.

After the messenger had read the decree, he did not linger long in the tent, but turned and left the camp.

Ten miles out of the camp, the messenger threw away his suit, walked hundreds of meters on his horse, turned into an alley, dismounted and knocked on the door to move the horse into the house.

"How, did the plan succeed!" Someone in the courtyard came up and asked eagerly.

"Rest assured, it's seamless!"

Since Lin Feng was preparing to get rid of Ma Wu, Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng personally deployed and ordered the bloody assassination in Zhao to kill the spies who shuttled between Handan City and Ma Wu's tent, so the current news that Zhao Mu and Ma Wu got the news was all after the change of the Blood Thorn members.

The purpose was only to provoke the relationship between Zhao Mu and Ma Wu, trying to kill people with a knife and get rid of Ma Wu.

As for the letter that Zhao Mu received, the holy decrees received by Ma Wu were all tampered with by the members of the Blood Thorn. Both paralyzed the two.

The messenger left, Ma Wu fell into a panic, and the holy decree called him back to Handan City, although he did not say anything directly, but the messenger said a good word, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Most of the time it means going to Handan City, nine deaths, and it is impossible to come back alive.

After thinking about it, Ma Wu decided to refuse to carry out Zhao Mu's order, and he would not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, and if he did not return to Handan, Zhao Mu would not be able to help him.

Moreover, the court could not take out grain and grass, as long as he tried every means to solve the problem of grain and grass for the whole army, he had every chance to control the 70,000 or 80,000 troops under his command.

If Zhao Mu forcibly suppressed it, he would not mind an instantaneous defection and switch to the Yan State or the Song State.

Trying to find Guo Zhanhun to discuss, the guards reported that there was no trace of Guo Zhanhun in the camp, and soon someone reported that before the envoy of the court came, Guo Zhanhun led a small number of pro-troops to the east.
