Chapter Seventy-One: Where did the Ye family come from?
87_87603After Ma Teng and the others were defeated and retreated, there were less than 100 people around them. As for Han Sui, who evacuated first, there were still more than 500 people around him, and they were all fully armed.
Ma Teng looked at Han Sui, but he didn't know what to say. At this time, the two have not yet reached the kind of worship Cheng DΓΉ in Ye Mo's previous life, but the relationship between the two is also good. But Ma Teng didn't expect that Han Sui didn't discuss the matter of attacking Bishui Pass with him, but this time he actually abandoned him and fled.
Han Sui didn't dare to look at Ma Teng, after all, he was still ashamed in his heart. It's like a thief stealing something, and when he is not detected, the thief will be very smug, but once caught, he will become blushing and heartbeat.
Seeing Han Sui like this, Ma Teng shook his head, sighed, and didn't say anything.
The next day, the two returned to the coalition camp and reported the defeat to the alliance leader Dong Zhuo. Before Dong Zhuo could react, Bao Xin suddenly stood up first. Even Ma Teng has returned, but his younger brother Bao Zhong has not yet received any news, so there is no need to think about it, Bao Zhong must be more than lucky.
Bao Xin's younger brother died, but Bao Xin did not dare to show it in this account. Bao Zhong's matter is that he didn't listen to the orders of the alliance leader first, and it didn't matter if he didn't say it, but his strong skills were enough to keep others away from him, and even expelled him from this circle.
"What did Yuncheng do when he stood up?" Looking at Bao Xin, who was standing in his seat in a daze, Dong Zhuo asked puzzled.
"Huh? Ah, it's fine. Bao Xin heard Dong Zhuo ask him, and Bao Xin, who was in a sad state of losing his younger brother, was also stunned for a moment, and then reacted and hurriedly got into his seat.
"Tell me what's going on." Pointing to Ma Teng and Han Sui in the tent, Dong Zhuo asked questions. It's just that there is no inquiry in these words, just like a superior asking a question to a subordinate. In fact, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, in the entire Xiliang, who can compete with him?
Ma Teng didn't notice Dong Zhuo's tone when he heard Dong Zhuo's question, but honestly told the scene that happened in front of Bishui Pass.
And Dong Zhuo was sitting on the main seat in the account, and when he heard Ma Teng mention the Ye family, his face was naturally a little unkind. It's just that Ma Teng only cared about telling Dong Zhuo what happened in Bishui Pass, but he didn't notice the change in Dong Zhuo's face.
"You mean, in Bishui Pass, you met someone from the Ye family?" Dong Zhuo's tone was full of gloom, as if he was trying very hard to suppress some anger.
"Exactly, Ye Zhen first captured Cheng Yi with one move before the battle, and then fought a draw with Pang De, the number one general under me, and the morale of our army plummeted." Ma Teng naturally wouldn't tell Dong Zhuo about today's events, in that case, wouldn't he be the one who would increase the popularity of others and destroy his own prestige.
"Ye family, damn it! Damn it! It's a member of the Ye family again, how come there are people from the Ye family everywhere? Where is the Ye family? I'm going to kill them all! After Dong Zhuo heard Ma Teng confirm the news, he casually threw the things in his hand on the ground and shouted hysterically.
In Dong Zhuo's impression, since he came to Luoyang, anyone who met someone from the Ye family would definitely be unlucky.
Everyone in the tent looked at Dong Zhuo so crazy, and they were all so frightened by Dong Zhuo's appearance that they didn't dare to speak, and one by one they lowered their heads under the table.
"Wen You, Zhong Dao, you two can know the origin of this Ye family." Seeing that the princes in the tent were frightened by their appearance, they immediately suppressed their anger and asked Li Ru and Wei Zhongdao beside them.
Li Ru parted ways early after accompanying Jia Xu to leave the nameless hill, and after that, Li Ru heard about Dong Zhuo's "fake edict to cut down leaves", and he didn't dare to stay in Xiliang for too long, so he rushed back to his own house.
At this time, I heard Dong Zhuo ask, although Li Ru sent someone to investigate the Ye family a long time ago, he still didn't get any useful news.
"Eighty percent of the Ye family is in the Hetao Plain." At this time, Wei Zhongdao, who was not very noticeable, did say. The Wei family had lost a caravan in the hands of the Ye family before. Therefore, Wei Zhongdao probably guessed the fact that the Ye family was in the Hetao Plain.
"Hetao Plain?" Dong Zhuo was talking about this place, and suddenly, he asked the other princes, "Have you ever heard of that big family called the Ye family before?" β
Everyone in the account looked at each other, but they shook their heads one after another, saying that they had never heard of a family with the surname "Ye".
"Could it be that the Ye family is a remnant of the pre-Qin Dynasty?" They all heard what Wei Zhongdao said before. At this time, Dong Zhuo asked everyone if they had heard of the Ye family, but no one had heard of it. When he boarded, Liu Dai stood up and guessed.
Hearing Liu Dai's speculation, the other people also looked at each other a few times and expressed their approval.
A family can have such a strong strength but is not known, and the place where it lives is actually on the territory of the Southern Xiongnu, which is even more suspicious.
And the so-called pre-Qin remnants have a unified name to call them - the old Qin people. The so-called old Qin people refer to the name of the group of people who were under the rule of the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Due to the Shang Dynasty of Qin, the people of Qin were more belligerent and warlike than the people of the Six Kingdoms, which also made the people of the world separate this group of people from other Han people and call them the old Qin people.
"Old Qin?" After listening to Liu Dai's explanation, Dong Zhuo seemed to feel very reasonable. If that were not the case, what family would not be known to the princes sitting there?
"General, when my subordinates came from Xiliang, I heard a very interesting statement, I wonder if the general wants to hear it?" At this time, Li Ru seemed to have thought of something and said to Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo decided that the Ye family was from Old Qin, his mood suddenly brightened a lot, and he said to Li Ru: "Wen You heard something interesting, why don't you say it?" β
"My subordinates heard that the ancestor of the Ye family is Ruizo, one of the five emperors, and the Ye family is really an ancient family handed down by the five emperors Ruizo Ye Zigao. General, isn't it interesting that you say this news? When he said the news, Li Ru was full of smiles.
When Dong Zhuo heard the news about Li Ru just now, he immediately felt that Li Ru was playing with him, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this rumor was really good news.
"Wen You, you send someone to publicize the news that the Ye family is an old Qin person and the news that this Ye family is a descendant of Ye Zigao. You can't let such an important piece of news flow so slowly, after all, this news is very interesting! After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he laughed.
Wei Zhongdao didn't know Li Ru's intention when he said that news at first, but after Dong Zhuo gave the order, he immediately understood. This is a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, only this plan can make the backyard of the imperial court catch fire, and there is no time to take care of anything else.
Originally, Wei Zhongdao thought that Li Ru was nothing more than that, but at this time, he found that he was too big after all, and he underestimated the heroes of the world. Thinking of this, the pupils in Wei Zhongdao's eyes contracted slightly
