Ma Hansheng left Zhangye with his men and horses first, and hurried back to his territory Fanhe County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He first cleaned up all the armaments and materials in the city, and then registered and made a register, and then sorted out the financial taxes of Fanhe County and Wu'an, and also registered them. With these two ledgers in his arms, he rushed to Chang'an with only five hundred guards. Along the way, the post house picked up the messengers to greet them, and they soon arrived in Chang'an.

The general's mansion of He Batsheng is not far from the palace of the former Yuwen clan, and there is Gao Yue's mansion mixed in here. Early this morning, all the cadres and generals were in good spirits and fully armed to attend the morning meeting, and at this time He Batsheng asked them, because they were going to meet with Ma Hansheng in a while, in order to give their Ma family a little bit of power in advance, so He Batsheng asked everyone to dress up to attend.

Gao Yue said very unhappily: "A horse thief in a marginal place, is it worth us to mobilize people like this?" In my opinion, when that horse or something comes, I will kill him first and cut off his head and send it back to Ma Furong, asking him to prepare for surrender as soon as possible. His current status is not much different from that of He Batsheng, so his speech is becoming more and more high-profile. You must know that a few years ago, the difference between him and He Batsheng was not half a star, at that time He Batsheng spoke, and he Gao Yue only nodded frequently and promised points, and now this situation is because he and Gao Huan are direct relatives, and the relationship is even better.

Otherwise, with his previous record of losing consecutive battles in the Western Wei Dynasty, it is estimated that he would have been impeached by Yousi a long time ago, and losing his official position is a trivial matter, and those who are serious will not even be able to save their lives. So no one dared to say anything when he spoke like this at the moment, and He Batsheng just smiled and said: "What you said is also reasonable, but the two armies will not fight each other, which is also well known, we should not be so stingy as a country of the upper state, we must be tolerant of people, and see what they say, it is not too late to care." Gao Yue snorted coldly and stopped talking.

In fact, this time Gao Huan let He Batsheng serve as the marshal of the crusade army, and the governor of Hexi made him feel very unhappy, you must know that Gao Huan personally appointed him as the governor of Guanzhong, and all the military and political power was decided by him alone, but then gradually Gao Huan sent He Batsheng, Duguxin and other old ministers into the customs, which obviously did not trust his ability, and he himself knew that it was impossible to control these wealthy families in Guanzhong with his ability, but he didn't want to be looked down upon, so he was naturally very wary of He Batsheng and Duguxin and others.

He Batsheng and Gao Huan have been old brothers for more than ten years, so many things can be tolerated on his face, but Dugu Xin is different, as a local head snake, he is entrenched in the northwest all the year round, so naturally he will not sell face to Gao Yue, who is just a newcomer. Several times the two of them were not very happy in public, but fortunately Ariga Batsheng was a peacemaker in the meantime. Otherwise, there is a good chance that things will get out of hand.

He Batsheng saw the civil and military officials standing on both sides, so he said to the people below: "Let the envoy of Liangzhou Assassin Shi Ma Furong come in." The sergeants below began to preach loudly to Mahan to ascend to the temple. I saw that after a while, Ma Hansheng ran to the front of the temple door alone and gave a salute, then took off his shoes and walked quickly into the hall, and came to the bottom of the steps to bow down to He Batsheng, because at this moment He Batsheng represents Gao Huan, so Ma Hansheng wants to bow to him.

He Batsheng said to Ma Hansheng below: "Excuse me, please get up quickly, come and give me a seat." Gao Yue was very unhappy with He Batsheng's emperor-like tone, but he couldn't come out to refute him at this moment. Ma Hansheng immediately got up and bowed his head and thanked him: "The villain thanked the general for giving him a seat." He Batsheng said: "Why didn't your family assassin come in person, don't you know that Your Majesty has been waiting for him in Yecheng for a long time?" ”

Ma Hansheng immediately got up and said: "Back to the general's words, my family came in and accidentally had a cold and was unwell, so I sent a villain to explain, please ask the general to pass on Bing, and my lord will definitely go to Beijing to face the saint." He Batsheng said angrily: "Presumptuous, Your Majesty sent him a local official to dare to prevaricate because he was unwell? This is an offense to Tianwei, and it is to destroy the Nine Clans, do you know? Ma Hansheng immediately knelt down and said, "It's because of this that the minister fell out with my family." The minister has been trying to persuade him to go to the capital to face the saint in person, but he has always avoided it. ”

"Later, the minister had no choice but to go on his own trip, and wanted to explain to the general that our Ma family has always been His Majesty's courtiers, and he loyally guarded the Hexi Corridor for His Majesty." Before Ma Hansheng's words were finished, He Batsheng slapped the table and said angrily: "What nonsense, when will Your Majesty give you the right to govern the Hexi Corridor?" Are you going to rebel like this? Ma Hansheng suddenly sweated like rain on his head, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "This is all the meaning of my family, the little man is just a messenger and errand, the general, the villain is willing to sacrifice Fanhe, Wu'an and the two counties to surrender to the king." ”

Saying that, he took out the two account books from his arms and dedicated them to He Batsheng, it turned out that he had the idea of surrendering to the court long before he set off, and he made up his mind when he and Ma An chose the direction of the envoy, in case Ma An chose to send Chang'an, he would also fool him into giving up this idea, Ma Hansheng originally wanted to bargain with He Batsheng before surrendering, who knew that he hadn't opened his mouth yet, and He Batsheng was already furious.

So he had no choice but to sacrifice two cities for nothing, just in exchange for his own life. Sure enough, after reading the ledger and the map of the geographical distribution of the two cities, he was very satisfied. He handed these things to Dugu Xin and Gao Yue for inspection, and he said with a smile: "It seems that you are still knowledgeable about current affairs, so let's read that for the sake of you taking the initiative to expose and actively surrender to Chengcheng, I decided to let you be the vanguard guide and set off with the army to help us persuade Zhucheng to accept Wang Shi, and by the way, preach and educate them to know loyalty, filial piety, good and evil." ”

Ma Hansheng immediately bowed his head and promised, and now he can finally save his life and keep his family business. In fact, although Ma Hansheng's approach is selfish, it is understandable, a giant ship is about to sink into the ocean, you don't talk about the people above, even the rats on the ship have to try their best to escape, so Ma Furong's giant ship is about to sink to the bottom of the sea, with Ma Hansheng's witty and keen sense of smell must have been prepared for his own back road early, the so-called people do not destroy for themselves, although he has low morality but there is nothing to blame.

When the news of Ma Hansheng selling the city in exchange for his life reached Ma Furong's ears, he still refused to believe that all this was true, because he thought that Ma Hansheng was his own person after all, a trusted relative. It wasn't until someone reported that Ma Hansheng's family had inexplicably disappeared in Zhangye three days ago, that he suddenly woke up and realized that he was really betrayed by this kid, and he immediately sent troops to accept Fanhe and Wu'an counties, but the defenders in these two places had been replaced by the Qi army of Wuwei Taishou. And Ma Hansheng's family members have already entered the territory of Qinzhou, and they can no longer be recovered.

Ma An came back from the west and brought good news, Zhang Jun and Shao Long had agreed to jointly send troops to resist He Batsheng's conquest army, only He Jiulian was still waiting and hesitating, but Ma Furong had already realized that he was likely to be eliminated at this moment, because Ma Hansheng, who was most familiar with his internal situation, had completely rebelled and became the vanguard guide of the conquest army. Chai Yanping's troops, Yang Jian's troops, and Li Yuan's troops had already marched their armies into Wuwei, followed by He Basheng's main army, Duguxin's 50,000 people came from the north, Dou Luguang's 40,000 troops and Yang Kun's 10,000 people went to the southern foothills.
