After Ma Teng finished speaking, Ma Chao's heart became even heavier. Yes, if you rush into Beijing, you will not only abandon your family business, but also put yourself in danger. In the capital, a variety of forces are fighting. Even if he has Xiliang Iron Riding in his hand, if he is not careful, he will take a wrong step, and he will be doomed, and this trip will end hastily.

Just as Ma Chao was pondering, Ma Teng saw that Ma Chao did not immediately agree to him, so he asked everyone: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Yang Fu came out and said: "Back to the lord, the subordinates have the courage to disagree with the lord. ”

"You?" Seeing that Yang Fu, who had always been obedient, was the first to rise up against him, Ma Teng was very surprised and looked at Yang Fu incredulously.

Yang Fu ignored Ma Teng's eyes, bowed his hand to Ma Chao, who was standing beside Ma Teng, and said solemnly: "My subordinates think that the young master should obey the edict and lead his troops into Beijing. ”

Ma Chao hesitated and said, "Tell me why." ”

Yang Fu said: "My subordinates think that what Huangfu Song said before in Chang'an City may not be unreasonable. If His Majesty hadn't sent the lord and the young lord to conquer Han Sui, the lord and the young lord would have a chance to get involved in Liangzhou? If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty had promised the lord and the young lord to control the military and political power of Liangzhou after the lord and the young lord entered Jincheng, the imperial court would not have cared about the affairs of Liangzhou, and the lord and the young lord would not have been able to quickly occupy Liangzhou and hold Liangzhou tightly in their hands; If it weren't for His Majesty's opposition to the proposition of the general He Jin and Taifu Yuan Kui, and the fact that Huangfu Song was not allowed to attack Liangzhou easily, so as to gain valuable time for the young lord to lead the army back to Jieting, then the lord and the young master would not be able to defeat Huangfu Song, but there would be a prosperous siege of Chang'an City today.

It can be seen that His Majesty has always regarded the lord and the young lord as usable people, and is willing to support them. If the lord and the young lord suddenly oppose Your Majesty and do not obey the edict, Your Majesty will definitely hate the lord and the young lord to the core, and will join forces with the great general He Jin to destroy our army together. With the support of His Majesty, our army will still have many difficulties in winning the battlefield. Without His Majesty's support, defeat is only a matter of time. Therefore, if the young master does not enter Beijing, the lord and the young master will be in danger. Only by obeying the edict, leading the army into Beijing, defending His Majesty, and suppressing the court for His Majesty, can the lord and the young lord be safe.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the lord and the young lord can withstand the joint attack of His Majesty and the general He Jin, they will not be destroyed. In the face of the all-out attack of the imperial court, the conquest of a larger number of officials and troops than the Huangfu Song Department, Liangzhou will also return to the old road of endless war.

The lord and the young lord fought bloodily for more than three months, and they worked hard to govern Liangzhou, all in order to achieve the goal of peace in Liangzhou and stability of the people. If the war in Liangzhou is rekindled and the smoke rises again, it will make all the efforts of the lord and the young lord go to waste. Is this what the lord and the young lord want to see? Is this what the two hundred thousand people of Liangzhou want to see? Therefore, for the sake of the common people of Liangzhou, his subordinates urged the young lord to obey the edict and led 20,000 Xiliang Iron to ride into Beijing. The Son of Heaven means to let the young master lead a full 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry into Beijing, the young master has 20,000 iron cavalry in his hands, and they are all Xiliang iron cavalry, although the garrison in Luoyang City is also elite and strong, but who can fight against my Xiliang army? The young master has soldiers in his hands, not to mention the ten permanent servants and generals, even if His Majesty wants to murder the young master, he doesn't dare to do it! The young master will be very safe. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he thought that what Yang Fu said was right, if he didn't enter Beijing and put himself in danger, it would be to put the people of Liangzhou in danger. Ma Chao was even more entangled in his heart.

In the shogunate, it was Ma Teng who sat in the first place, Ma Chao stood beside Ma Teng, and in front of the two were two columns of teams on the left and right, the left column was the strategist, the long history, the Yangyi Captain and other civilian positions, and the right column was the lieutenant general, the school captain, the commander and other military generals.

Ma Dai walked out of the queue, walked to Yang Fu's side, and said dissatisfiedly: "Otherwise! The forces of all parties in Luoyang City are fighting for each other, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. Although the Son of Heaven asked his brother to lead 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry into Beijing, 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry was enough to overwhelm the other garrisons in Luoyang City. The swords on the battlefield are easy to resist, and the open guns and hidden arrows above the court are not so easy to defend.

Don't you hear the story of Dou Wu? As a general, Dou Wu has military power in his hands. And Cao Jie and Wang Fu only controlled the troops of the forbidden province, and they had very little military power than Dou Wu. Cao Jie Wang Fu was able to overhaul the edict and ordered Zhang Huan to besiege the general's mansion, forcing Dou Wu to commit suicide. ”

Zhang Xiu also stood up, walked to Ma Dai's side, and said, "That's a good point! The elder brother is the chief general of the Xiliang Army, and the reason why the Xiliang Army is invincible and invincible is because the Xiliang Army is commanded by his brother. If the elder brother easily leaves Xiliang and enters the capital, and the lord wants to focus on handling the affairs of Liangzhou, who will lead the Xiliang army? What is the Xiliang Army? The 2 million and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Liangzhou, who will protect them? ”

Yan Xing also stood up from the ranks of military generals, but he did not support Ma Dai and Zhang Xiu, who were also military generals. He stood beside Yang Fu and said to the two people opposite: "The two generals are just because they are the siblings of the young master, and they have a deep relationship with the young master, and they are worried about the safety of the young master, so they are unwilling to enter Beijing." In fact, what Yang Saijiu said was reasonable, and only when the young master led the army into Beijing could Liangzhou be stable. The two generals were disturbed by love, and the lord could not listen to him. ”

Pound said: "This is a big mistake! Our deliberations are all out of public interest and have no selfish feelings. I have also been under the command of the lord and the young lord for many years, and the relationship with the young lord is no worse than that of these two generals, but I oppose the young lord entering Beijing. Why? As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger. Although at this moment, the Son of Heaven loves the young master, thinking that his arm is a sharp weapon used to balance the general He Jin. But the mind of the Son of Heaven is not measurable for us? Once the young master is accidentally angered, the Son of Heaven will definitely take the initiative against the young master.

Moreover, those who have always been the Son of Heaven are mostly those who have hidden their bows. Zhou Yafu quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but was feared by Emperor Xiaojing, and after his death, because there were 500 pairs of armor buried with him, Zhou was retaliated by Emperor Xiaojing. The reason why the Son of Heaven reuses the young master, and is even willing to promote the young master, who has never been crowned and is still young, to Guangluxun, one of the nine kings, is just that the young master has the Xiliang army in his hands and can suppress the general.

If one day Your Majesty completely solves the great problem of the general, and the young master has no use value, will Your Majesty reuse the young master? I'm afraid that when the general dies, the Son of Heaven will not be able to tolerate the young master who has the same heavy troops as the general, right? ”

Yang Fu, Yan Xing, Ma Dai, Zhang Xiu and others argued, and the rest of the Zhonglang Generals, Changshi, Captains, and Yangyi Commanders also discussed this matter, and some people even quarreled about it.
