Chapter 156: Straight Talking

Several people looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak again. Li Mi knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Yang Guozhong ignored him anymore.

After a long time, a scribe looked at Yang Guozhong, whose eyes were red, and whispered: "Guogong, since this matter was not done by us, and Ma Renjie's assassination is indeed a fact, this matter must be something that someone shot behind his back, wanting to blame Guogong and provoke the relationship between Guogong and Ma Renjie." If it weren't for the Lord's ordersβ€”"

"It wasn't the same as this!" Yang Guozhong said indignantly.

The scribe was startled and said in a loud voice, "Yes, yes, yes!" Since it is not the command of the national government, there is someone else. Ma Renjie came to make a big fuss tonight, but he was also deceived by others, not really trying to go against the national government. That being said, we need to do two things. ”

"Speak quickly!" Yang Guozhong said irritably.

"The first thing is to find the people behind the scenes. Only by finding out who is behind the scenes can we clear the grievances of the national government. Although Ma Renjie has many enemies, they are all roosters and dog thieves, and they have no such ability. The people behind the scenes ambushed Ma Renjie, but blamed the Lord Guogong, which was a plan to kill two birds with one stone. With such a person, how can the Lord Guogong sleep in peace? The people behind this must find out. ”

"Well, that's right!" Yang Guozhong nodded, walked back to his position and sat down, "You go on!" ”

"Second, before the Guogong clears his grievances, he should stop fighting against Ma Ren's masterpiece, and should focus on mending the relationship between the two families. The Son of Heaven made it clear that the marriage between the two families was not allowed to be changed, which was undoubtedly listening to the opinion of the concubine. Since Ma Renjie is still your son-in-law, the Yang family and the Ma family are considered a family, and the Guogong takes the initiative to mend the relationship between the two families, and the Son of Heaven will be happy. If the two families have another turmoil, the Son of Heaven will definitely not like it. ”

"Fuck! Obviously, it was the little rabbit cub who rushed to my house and beat and killed, but he wanted to compromise! Yang Guozhong was extremely depressed and said angrily.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and the prince of heaven relies on the trust of the Son of Heaven, and now the Son of Heaven has wronged the prince of the country to assassinate Ma Renjie, but he refuses to punish the prince in the slightest. What a blessing it is. Guogong was slightly aggrieved, which can be regarded as repaying His Majesty's kindness. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's it! ”

After being silent for a long time, Yang Guozhong let out a long breath and nodded heavily.

……

Early the next morning. Ma Lan woke up on time, Yang Youniang had already prepared the meal, and waited outside with the maid named Li'er.

After Li'er finished serving Ma Lan to wash, Yang Youniang set up all kinds of food and bowed respectfully to Ma Lan.

There were still tears in the corners of the little girl's eyes. It looks pitiful. Ma Lan couldn't help but feel soft in her heart when she looked like this.

The two sat opposite each other during this meal, and they didn't say a word, although the meal was sumptuous, Ma Lan didn't have any taste for it. After eating it easily, Ma Ling nodded to Yang Youniang and walked to the outer courtyard.

Dozens of athletes have also finished eating, and when they saw Ma Lan come out, they immediately put on their armor and got on their horses, Ma Lan walked to Qinghai Cheng and just got up to fight armor, and a pair of soft and white little hands suddenly stretched out and took it.

Although she was embarrassed, Ma Lan had no choice but to let Yang Youniang help her put on the Mingguang armor. Then he rode his horse and led the athletes out of the house.

Waiting outside was still the five hundred dragon martial army, and the old general Chen Xuanli actually came again. The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then galloped straight to the camp of the Long Wu Army.

……

The dragon martial army originated from the guard "hundred horses" when Taizong, expanded to a thousand horses after the martial arts, and expanded to ten thousand horses when Zhongzong, when today's son first ascended the throne, his aunt Princess Taiping plotted to make trouble, and the Son of Heaven relied on ten thousand horses to defeat Princess Taiping, which was extremely trusting of this forbidden army. Among the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the Longwu Army is also the most elite one.

Ma Lan led the athletes to the camp of the Longwu Army. After meeting with Anxi Jian'er, who entered the barracks yesterday to rest, he came directly to the school field under the guidance of Chen Xuanli.

There were already thousands of iron cavalry of the Longwu Army on the school ground, and each one of them looked energetic, and the swords and guns were very imposing. Ma Lan led Anxi Jian'er to gallop in front of Long Wujun. didn't even look at these guys, and the eight hundred Anxi athletes behind them didn't squint, and followed Ma Lan straight to the center of the school field.

The Anxi army was so arrogant, and the cavalry of the Longwu army were extremely angry. Many of them are the children of the royal family and the gate lords of various families, and they all feel that their status is noble, and they are all above the top on weekdays. For the humble border army to look down on it, today's queue to greet the Anxi army is already enough to give the Anxi army face, who expected that the Anxi army would not give them face at all!

Regarding the reaction of these guys, Ma Lu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't take it to heart.

These guys all look like Angzang men, but they are all some fancy fists and embroidered legs, and they are unbearable in the Anshi Rebellion, and they are completely a group of wine bags and rice bags.

On the basis of the original history, Absi fled to the Western Regions with the Tongluo clan, and finally lost it in the hands of Cheng Qianli, the protector of the Beiting Capital, and the few Tongluo old and weak who could not leave were taken into the command by An Lushan. An Lushan's command was just a defeated 8,000 remnants of the Tongluo clan, and these 8,000 cavalry actually beat these Chang'an soldiers to an embarrassment.

This is completely a rotten army, that is, the children of various families come in to get their origins, and they are not on the battlefield at all. How can an army that can't go to the battlefield be respected.

If the elite soldiers of Anxi faced the Tongluo clan, 3,000 people would be enough to annihilate the 8,000 remnants. This is still the original Anxi Army, not the current Anxi New Army.

"Big brother, those guys in the back seem to be a little dissatisfied." Ma Yong listened to the hustle and bustle behind him and said in a low voice.

Ma Lan snorted: "A seven-foot-tall man, wearing a bright light armor and sitting on a horse and shaking, what kind of stuff is this." It's a pity, if so many Mingguang armor can give us the Anxi Army, I will have another new army in my hands in a few months. It's all rubbish, don't bother with them. ”

A high platform was set up in front of the school field, and the high platform was already full of people at this time, not only the Son of Heaven and the ministers, but also many female dependents. A lieutenant rode a horse from the side of the high platform and said with a smile: "King of the county, Your Majesty let you pass." ”

Ma Lan nodded, followed the lieutenant to ride his horse to the high platform, and was about to dismount and bow, but was stopped by Li Longji waving his hand.

Li Longji's spirit was a little uncomfortable, obviously he didn't sleep well last night, looked at Ma Lan and smiled: "Ma Qing, what do you think of me?" ”

"Mighty and majestic, but it's just a show." Ma Lan bowed down on his horse.

Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, had just sat down beside the Son of Heaven, and his face changed slightly when he heard this.

"Oh? These are all good Chang'an children, those who can join the Longwu Army, all of them have some skills, why did Ma Qing say that they were all fancy? Li Longji asked in surprise.

Ma Xuan said: "Your Majesty, if you haven't seen a soldier with blood, you are not a real soldier." Wei Chen walked in front of them just now, and saw that many soldiers were no more than twenty years old, which was the age of courage and blood, and they all looked extremely heavy when they were wearing Mingguang armor. Such soldiers, let alone put them in the north to deal with the grassland departments, even if they are put in the south to deal with the southern barbarians, there is no advantage. The purpose of the Beiya Forbidden Army is to protect Gyeonggi, and if something really happens, these guys will not be able to use it at all. ”

Chen Xuanli's face changed, and he said angrily: "King of the county, you must know that Long Wujun has also made great contributions to Your Majesty, how can it be as unbearable as you said?" There are tens of thousands of athletes in our army, and there is a dragon and a crouching tiger inside, how can the king of the county be underestimated! ”

Ma Lan smiled faintly and said, "The old general doesn't need to be angry, Ma Lan is just telling the truth." As far as I see these guys today, I am confident that the 800 athletes under my command can be chiseled! It's a pity that you can't experiment, otherwise the old general will understand how useless these subordinates of yours are. ”

A sneer suddenly sounded: "I know that I can't experiment, but I say this like this, it's just a big talk to deceive people!" Ten thousand horsemen are the elite of the forbidden army, you want to chisel through it with eight hundred athletes, how is it possible! ”

It was Yang Guozhong who spoke, looking at Ma Lu's sarcastic expression. Ma Lan's eyes looked at him coldly, Yang Guozhong felt the undisguised killing intent in Ma Lan's eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't say any more.

It was the enemies who were extremely red when they saw each other, and Ma Ling was extremely angry when he thought of the death of the thirteen Anxi athletes. Li Longji coughed lightly and said with a light smile: "I say it again, this is the last time." You are all members of your own family, so you have to be polite when you speak. - Ma Qing, is my Wanqi really so unbearable? If it's a matter of the Central Plains, it really won't be of any use? ”

Ma Lan nodded.

Standing here today, he no longer wants to care about anything else, he just wants to say what is in his heart, so as not to suffer too many losses to Datang in the future.

After all, it is almost November of the twelfth year of Tianbao, and it is very close to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion in history. If the Beiya Forbidden Army does not make any changes, after the chaos really breaks out in the coming days, this army that has been established at a cost of countless money and silk will still be useless in its original history.

For Ma Lu, who was bent on taking the land in the river, nothing was as important as the stability of the Central Plains. Although Tibet is about to collapse and will no longer block the road to Hexi, if the Central Plains cannot quickly quell the rebellion, it will inevitably affect the situation in Anxi and even Hezhong. Especially in the river, the first target of immigration is the old man of the ten provinces of the world, but in the future, the main body is still the people of Guanzhong, if the Central Plains is erosive, the people of Guanzhong will not be able to live in peace in the river.

So he knew that this would offend Chen Xuanli, but there were still some things he had to say, even if he violated the taboo, he couldn't take care of it.

Li Longji was silent for a few breaths, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "If it is really as Ma Qing said, is there a way to change?" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Lan nodded and said in a deep voice: "These soldiers can be selected into the army by General Chen, which is good among the children of Chang'an, but what they lack is experience." If you don't see blood on the battlefield, you will never be of great use. Now the four realms are not calm, if the Northern Ya Forbidden Army goes to the border army in batches, or goes to the northeast to fight against the Eryu, or goes to Hexi to fight against Zhuqiang, or goes to Jiannan to suppress Nanzhao, after three or two years, returning to Chang'an is an iron-blooded army. In short, it is necessary to send troops and horses, and it is always impossible to guard the world of flowers like this. ”

Yang Guozhong shouted angrily: "Confused! The Northern Ya Forbidden Army guards Gyeonggi, how can they leave their posts without permission! If even the children of Liangjing have to go to the border to fight bloodily, what is the use of waiting for you! (To be continued.) )
