Chapter 57: Ma Bao's Stratagem
It is said that the Yue Fei brothers were having breakfast in the Zongliu Mansion when they suddenly heard that someone from the Liang Wangfu was coming, and the brothers were shocked.
"How do the people of the Liang Palace's Mansion know that I am here? I came on the front foot, and they came on the heel. Could it be that the sect stayed behind to trick me here, and then inform the people of the Liang Wangfu to arrest us. It's impossible, Master Zong is so kind to us, how can he harm us? Moreover, the decree is also true. Why did the emperor Chrysostom repented so quickly? It must be those annihilators who are playing right and wrong in front of the emperor. Yue Fei didn't think much about it, immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and came to the door.
There are many family members of the Liang Wangfu outside the yamen, as well as many officers and soldiers, and they are all black.
"Brothers, the one standing in front is Yue Fei, he killed my Xiaoliang King, brothers take care of it, don't let him run away." The person who looked like the housekeeper of the Liang Wangfu at the head pointed at Yue Fei and said to everyone.
Everyone agreed, took spears and short knives, and walked forward step by step, surrounding the five Yue Fei brothers.
"Yue Fei deserves death for shooting King Xiaoliang, the emperor has an edict, if Yue Fei and the others dare to resist, they can be executed on the spot, and there is no need to play." An officer-like man came from behind and said loudly.
This person is none other than Ma Bao, a member of the Taihang Mountain bandit Golden Knife Wang Shan, when King Xiaoliang entered Beijing, Wang Shan sent him to the capital to go undercover, waiting for an opportunity to create chaos in Bianjing, so that the inside and outside should be combined, seize the capital in one fell swoop, and force the emperor to hand over the jade seal. Ma Bao came to the capital with King Xiaoliang. King Xiaoliang thought that Ma Bao entered Beijing just to help him achieve a great cause, so he did not hesitate to bribe Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and arranged Ma Bao to be a commander in the Ministry of War.
This Ma Bao heard that King Xiao Liang was shot off his horse by Yue Fei in the teaching field and died, thinking that the opportunity had come, he immediately sent someone to send a letter to Taihang Mountain, and he colluded with the family members of King Liang's mansion to arrest Yue Fei under false pretenses.
In the evening, Wang Duo, the secretary of the military department, came back drunk, and said that the emperor had shown favor to Yue Fei extralegally, not only did he not blame him, but also wanted to see Yue Fei in person, and his tone seemed to be full of stomachs.
Ma Bao was amazed when he heard this.
"Who is this Yue Fei? Why does the emperor value him so much? Does he have three heads and six arms? Ma Bao was puzzled.
"My lord, Yue Fei killed a prince, what a crime is that, doesn't the emperor pursue it?" Ma Bao asked tentatively.
"You don't know, Yue Fei is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he can be called the first person in the Great Song Dynasty today. For the sake of the Zhao family, how could the emperor be willing to kill him? What's more, Zong Ze Lao'er praised Yue Fei in front of the emperor. I saw that the emperor listened to Zong Ze's words, and he was happy and didn't dare to be bored, so he spoke for King Xiaoliang. Alas, King Xiaoliang died unjustly, and he didn't even have a chance to take revenge. Wang Duo sighed.
"I heard that Yue Fei and the others have already escaped from the capital, how can they come back to see the emperor." Marble asked.
"Zong Ze Lao'er went with the emperor's holy decree, Yue Fei and the others must be flattered, why don't they come back?" Wang Duo said.
Ma Bao listened and retreated silently, but he was planning in his heart how to take the opportunity of avenging King Xiaoliang to rebel and seize the capital.
At midnight, Ma Bao got in touch with the people on the mountain at the contact point in the city, and Ma Bao told him his plan, asking the liaison officer to go back and report as soon as possible, and begged him to send troops to attack Bianjing as soon as possible. After the plan was made, Ma Bao sent his henchmen to keep an eye on the sect and guard the yamen, and ordered him to come back and report as soon as there was news of Yue Fei and others.
When he got up in the morning, Ma Bao received news from the spies, saying that Yue Fei and others went to Zongliu's mansion, Zongliushou went to the court, and there were only a few soldiers in the yamen.
"Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, I have to get rid of Yue Fei and the others first, go to the trouble of my henchmen, and then deal with Zong Ze. The current emperor is still young, cowardly and incompetent, and what he relies on is Zong Ze. Only by getting rid of Zong Ze, the thorn in his side, can he achieve great things. Ma Bao pondered in his heart.
"Brothers, Yue Fei and the others are in the Zong Liushu Mansion, and the opportunity to avenge King Liang has arrived. You have received a lot of favor from King Xiaoliang, and you should be rewarded today. There is a kind, come with me, the people of Liang Wangfu are waiting for us to help in the Stay-behind Mansion. Mabao shouted loudly on his horse.
When the soldiers heard this, they stepped forward enthusiastically and followed Ma Bao to the Zongliu Mansion.
When Ma Bao saw Yue Fei's lofty and heroic appearance, he knew that this person was not a thing in the pool, and if he didn't get rid of it as soon as possible, he would definitely leave trouble.
"Yue Fei, you are so bold, you dare to come back. Do you know why you came back? Ma Bao immediately asked.
Yue Fei heard it and felt that there was something in this person's words, somehow?
"Dude, how did you know I was going back?" Yue Fei asked curiously.
"Of course I do. It was the Sect who stayed behind and summoned you back with a holy decree in his hand. Do you know what this decree is about? Marble then asked.
Yue Fei shook his head and didn't say anything. He just looked at Ma Bao's demeanor as he spoke, and he seemed to have a sense of an uncertain prophet.
"The emperor knows that your brothers are all good at kung fu, and they will turn the other way around at every turn, and he is worried that you will not be good for the court in the future, so he designed to trick you into the city to close the door and beat the dogs. The emperor knew that you had already left the city, and he also knew that once you left the city, it would be like a bird flying deep in the mountains and a fish swimming in the sea, and he would not be able to arrest you, so he had to design Zong Ze to bring you back. You have no hostility towards Zong Ze and are easy to believe, so the emperor sent Zong Ze to handle this matter. Ma Bao said that he had a nose and eyes, Niu Gao, Wang Gui and others had already believed it, and they were so angry that their eyes were on fire.
"Big brother, I heard you! I knew that the emperor Lao'er was not so kind, King Xiaoliang was his relative, and he would not offend his relatives for a few people he didn't know. Now in the cage, what are we going to do? Niu Gao asked anxiously.
"Niu Gao, what are you panicking about? There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and there is a big brother to support it, are we afraid that they will not succeed? Tang Huai said.
Yue Fei thought quietly for a while, he always felt that things were strange, but he couldn't say that he was ugly.
"Yue Fei, have you thought clearly? Do you want to tie it up or wait for us to do it? Ma Bao's strange eyes looked at Yue Fei and asked.
Yue Fei glanced at his brothers and said, "Brothers, Yue Fei has affected you, and Yue Fei has made amends to you. After that, he saluted Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Wang Gui, and Niu Gao, and whispered: "Get on the horse and copy the guys, and fight your way out of the encirclement." ”
Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Wang Gui, and Niu Gao listened to it, understood it, and they each retreated to their horses.
Yue Fei saw that the brothers were ready, and shouted: "Get on the horse and follow me." With that, he jumped on his horse, carried a Liquan gun, and rushed towards his family and officers and soldiers.
"I don't want to hurt your surname, dodge, and those who stand in my way die." Yue Fei immediately struck a spear, and shouted majestically, which frightened those family members and officers and soldiers. They retreated to both sides one after another, letting Yue Fei and the others swagger over.
Ma Bao knew that the Yue Fei brothers were powerful, and he didn't dare to fight with them. The purpose of his coming here was to force out the Yue Fei brothers, so that Zong Ze would be deposed by the emperor for the crime of bullying the king.
"As long as Yue Fei escapes, Zong Ze resigns, and the Great Song Dynasty is no longer incompetent, our army can easily capture the capital and achieve great causes, and when the time comes, I will be the founding father." Ma Bao thought of this, and a smug look appeared on his face.
Yue Fei and his brothers rushed out of the encirclement, Ma Bao followed up with the officers and soldiers and the family of Liang Wangfu, and chased them to Nanxunmen, Yue Fei and others went out of the city and ran for fifteen miles in one go. Yue Fei glanced back and found that there were no pursuers behind him, so he was relieved.
"Brothers, I am the one who has caused you trouble, and I can't stand you." Yue Fei said with a wry smile.
"It's all my own brothers, what's polite, big brother, we have followed you in this life, whether you occupy the mountain as the king or make meritorious contributions, we will follow you without regrets and never give up." Tang Huai said.
"Thank you, thank you, brothers." When Yue Fei heard this, his excitement was beyond words.
