Chapter 1256: Brother Hook
The news of Liu Wei's ascension to the throne and proclamation as emperor was transmitted from the top of Song Mountain to the foot of the mountain, and then from the foot of the mountain to all parts of Daqin.
The Qin army, who delivered the news, was shouting loudly all the way the news that King Qin had ascended the throne and became emperor.
Many people along the way had long known that King Qin was going to ascend the throne and become emperor, but they didn't expect that it would come so quickly!
When some of the people heard the news, they were stunned, and the celebration that they had already thought of was delayed by astonishment.
At the entrance of a small village not far from Songshan, a soldier of the Qin army rode a horse and rushed through the village and entered the village. ”
Hearing that there was no longer King Qin in the world, the villagers in the village were stunned, and some even clenched their fists, and their eye sockets began to glow with tears.
The villagers thought that something had happened to the King of Qin, and the soldiers of the Qin army then shouted: "The King of Qin has ascended the throne, and from today on, he will be the emperor of my Han Dynasty!" ”
After hearing the first sentence, the people who were sad in their hearts were as if they had just entered an ice cave and someone immediately brought them a brazier, and their mood was up and down.
Conveying the news of King Qin's accession to the throne to the villagers, the soldiers pinched their legs on the horse's belly, rode their horses to the other end of the village, and soon disappeared at the entrance of the village on the other side.
"King Qin is the emperor!" It wasn't until the soldiers of the Qin army rushed out from the entrance of the village on the other side that the villagers in the village came back to their senses, cheering one by one, and let out bursts of jubilant shouts.
Everywhere the Qin army who delivered the news went, it attracted cheers.
People from all over the country rushed to tell each other, passing on the news of King Qin's accession to the throne, and Luoyang City also got the news quickly.
When Liu Wei went out of the city, the people in the city prepared colorful silk and red candles, and when the news came back to Luoyang City, the people immediately poured out of their homes and celebrated in the city.
The whole Luoyang City is boiling, there are songs and laughter everywhere, and people are singing and dancing everywhere.
In the pavilion in Luoyang City, Ma Teng and others lived in the pavilion, discussing how to borrow grain and grass from Liu Wei, when suddenly there were bursts of people on the street, Ma Tie quickly stood up, ran to the window and looked out.
Seeing that the streets were full of people, Ma Tie was stunned for a moment, turned back to Ma Teng and said: "Many people in Luoyang City ran out of their homes and were singing and dancing happily, but I don't know that King Qin has already ascended the throne!" ”
Liu Wei went to Songshan and did not invite Ma Teng and others.
Hearing that many people were singing and dancing on the street, Ma Teng also stood up, walked to the window and looked out.
Seeing the scene outside with his own eyes, Ma Teng sighed and said to Ma Tie and Ma Chao: "King Qin really came to the throne!" ”
"In the early years, King Qin was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and now he has ascended the throne, but he is just taking back the throne that originally belonged to him!" Ma Tie didn't say anything, but Ma Chao said: "If my father doesn't serve King Qin, I'm Xiliang Ma's family, and I will be a glorious lintel in the future!" ”
"Meng Qi only knew that King Qin had the talent to achieve Wang Tu's hegemony, but he didn't know that he also had the ambition to achieve Wang Tu's hegemony!" With a sigh, Ma Teng said: "Serve the King of Qin, follow him to fight in the south and the north, and at the end of the day, we must hand over the soldiers and horses ......."
"The world is peaceful, why do you need to have military power?" Before Ma Teng's words were finished, Ma Chao interrupted him and said: "There are no foreign enemies, and holding heavy troops will make the Han family have scruples!" The reason why Dong Zhuo entered the Luoyang chaos back then was because he had Xiliang soldiers and horses under his command! The King of Qin is bent on restoring the Han Dynasty, how can he allow us to hold the military power? ”
was stunned by Ma Chao's words, and Ma Teng immediately asked: "From Meng Qi's point of view, what should I do as a father?" ”
"Give up your military power!" Without thinking about it, Ma Chao said to Ma Teng: "Xiliang is not the only one waiting for Ma, Han Sui is also quite powerful over there, and if the fight continues, it is still undecided who will be in the hands of Xiliang in the future!" Why did my father want to exonerate His Majesty today for holding the power of the army? ”
Since Ma Chao was more than ten years old, Ma Teng took him to fight in the south and the north.
On the battlefield, the fierce Xiliang people would be terrified when they heard Ma Chao's name, but at this time, he tried his best to build Ma Teng to hand over the military power.
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Teng finally nodded and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi stayed in Luoyang and followed His Majesty from now on!" For his father, he sacrificed his military power to His Majesty, and then returned to Xiliang to quell the Qiang rebellion! ”
"No!" Clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Ma Teng, in the past two days, the things that have been pressing on Ma Chao's heart finally have a satisfactory answer.
King Qin ascended the throne and was the emperor of the Han Dynasty from then on.
Ma Teng expressed his allegiance to the King of Qin and handed over the soldiers and horses in his hands, and the King of Qin would not be too harsh on the Xiliang Ma clan in the future.
A heroic man who has no military power is just a chicken and duck that can be slaughtered at any time for King Qin, who has become an emperor.
It is better to kill the Ma clan than to keep them, which can attract those heroes who do not have much enthusiasm for conquering the world.
Liu Wei ascended the throne at Songshan, and the news spread to the territory of Daqin, while all places celebrated, in the territory of Liaodong, the soldiers and horses of Gongsun Kang's army had compressed the Goryeo people to the hinterland of their borders.
The army was stationed in Goryeo, and Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan were discussing how to fight the next battle, when a soldier shouted outside the tent: "The eldest prince of Qiyu, the second prince is here!" ”
Hearing that Gongsun Gong was coming, Gongsun Kang frowned, looked up at Gongsun Lan and said, "Little sister, why did the second brother come here?" ”
"A few days ago, I heard that the second brother was defeated, and he himself was captured by Cao Cao!" Looking at each other with Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Lan said with some suspicion: "When he came here, didn't he want to borrow troops from his eldest brother?" ”
"My own brother, how can I borrow soldiers?" The corners of his mouth pulled up a strange smile, and Gongsun Kang said: "It's just that my father died suddenly, and I was attacked and killed by assassins, these two things must be asked to him clearly!" ”
Nodding his head, Gongsun Lan said, "I have received the news that the person who made the move to my father was not my subordinates. The assassin who assassinated the eldest brother was not arranged by me, but the eldest brother really wanted to ask the second brother clearly. ”
Gongsun Kang didn't say anything, but he had a plan in his heart.
"I want him to speak in the account!" Turning his head to look at the tent curtain, Gongsun Kang gave an order to the soldiers outside the tent.
After receiving his order, it didn't take long for the soldiers to lead Gongsun Gong, who looked like a wolf, to the outside of the tent.
Standing sideways, the soldier who led Gongsun Gong to the handsome tent made a gesture of invitation to him and said, "The eldest son is waiting in the tent, and the second son, please enter the tent!" ”
Nodding to the soldiers, Gongsun Gong lifted the curtain and walked in.
Entering the tent, he stood at the curtain of the tent, clasped his fists and bowed to Gongsun Kang, who was sitting in the tent, and said, "The younger brother has seen the elder brother!" ”
Glancing at him, Gongsun Kang's brows tightened, and he asked him in a cold voice: "Aren't you leading the army to fight with Cao Cao, why are you so wolf?" ”
was asked by Gongsun Kang like this, Gongsun Gong hurriedly lowered his head, his face was red and he didn't dare to speak.
was captured by Cao Cao, and then released by Cao Cao.
Along the way, he didn't dare to delay at all, and rushed straight to the battlefield where Gongsun Kang and the Goryeo army were fighting.
It's not that he didn't think about returning to Xiangping, but halfway through, he got the news that Gongsun Du had passed away.
When he returned to Xiangping, there would definitely be a group of people under Gongsun Du's account who asked him to preside over the affairs of the city.
If this is the case, the charge of sending assassins to assassinate Gongsun Du will be overshadowed on his head.
There are not many soldiers and horses in Xiangping City, if he really presides over affairs, once Gongsun Kang leads the army back, he will have no power to deal with it.
He knows his brother very well, and Gongsun Gong knows that in this case, as long as he dares to show his intention to occupy Liaodong, it won't be long before he will be in a different place!
If you want to survive, the best way is not to return to Xiangping, but to rush straight to Gongsun Kang's military camp, and after showing your loyalty, persuade Gongsun Kang to return to Xiangping and take over Liaodong!
Undoubtedly, Gongsun Gong's choice was correct.
Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan, who learned that he had come to the barracks, had a little surprise on their faces.
Gongsun Lan originally planned to put the charge of assassinating Gongsun Du on Gongsun Gong's head, but Gongsun Gong's sudden appearance disrupted her entire plan.
If you want the plan to follow her original expectations, you must instigate Gongsun Kang to attack Gongsun Gong!
Although Gongsun Kang is known for his martial arts and temperament, he is not a fool with incomplete intelligence!
It is not very easy to instigate him to kill Gongsun Gong.
As for Gongsun Kang, he has always regarded Gongsun Gong as a thorn in his side.
He had already made a plan, first get rid of Gongsun Gong, and then go all out to deal with Gongsun Lan, and finally monopolize the power of Liaodong!
Gongsun Gong's sudden appearance also caught Gongsun Kang a little off guard.
This brother, who has the strength to compete with him for Liaodong, came to the barracks, and there is only one explanation, that is, Gongsun Gong has no intention of fighting for Liaodong at all.
In this way, the one who really poses a threat to him is the little sister Gongsun Lan, who is by his side all day!
Staring at Gongsun Gong and looking at him from head to toe, Gongsun Kang asked, "Coming here alone, what about the army under your command?" ”
"Don't dare to hide it, brother!" Holding his fists, Gongsun Gong lowered his head and said to Gongsun Kang: "The little brother has been defeated, and the whole army has been wiped out!" ”
"Annihilation!" Frowning tightly, Gongsun Kang asked coldly: "With such a record, how will you explain to your father in the future!" ”
"Big brother doesn't know?" Knowing that Gongsun Kang had long known about the killing of Gongsun Du, Gongsun Gong still pretended to be stunned and said to him: "On the way, the younger brother heard that his father had been assassinated by assassins!" ”
I had already gotten the news, but when the words came out of Gongsun Gong's mouth, Gongsun Kang had to pretend to be surprised.
His eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, pretended to be anxious, strode in front of Gongsun Gong, grabbed him by the collar, and asked loudly, "What are you talking about?" Say it again! ”
