Chapter 127: Decisive Betrayal
"Yang Gong!"
In Yongzhou at this moment, Ma Long led the generals out to meet Yang Zong.
Malone has completely inherited Deng Ai's legion at this moment, and Deng Ai's legion has become Marlon's legion.
Ma Long's way of governing the army is completely different from Deng Ai's, and with his past military exploits, he quickly won the admiration of the soldiers.
Yang Zong stepped down from the carriage at this moment, still holding the Son of Heaven Festival in his hand, and Ma Long hurriedly led everyone to worship him.
Yang Zong looked at the people in front of him, and his eyes finally fell on Ma Long.
"General Ma, get up."
Yang Zong smiled and helped Ma Long up, Ma Long was a little surprised, he was not so familiar with this Yang Gong.
Yang Zong is very natural, as if he sees his old friend.
"Your Majesty has been talking about you all day long, why don't you also write back to Your Majesty?"
Yang Zong did not show such arrogance as usual, he was extremely close to Ma Long, took his hand, and talked about the things in the palace.
The surrounding generals looked at each other.
The look in his eyes at Malone became a little wrong.
Malone has a lot to lose, and that is his background.
It can even be said that in the entire Great Wei, he is probably the only general with a bad background.
Wang Ji, Yanghu, Hu Zun, Biqiu Jian, and even Deng Ai, Zhuge Dan, anyway, the generals of the entire Great Wei look over and over again, and you can't find a few people who were born in the common people.
Even Ma Long can't be said to be born in the common people, he was born as a local tyrant and has a wealthy family, but this kind of background is a little inadequate in front of the children of these big clans.
Shi Bao, who is also a local tyrant, is a head above him, after all, he has qualifications.
When Yang Zong finished saying this, several generals who despised Ma Long in their hearts also put away their arrogant hearts.
No matter how big the family is, it can't be supported by the emperor.
I thought that this guy just happened to have made a war exploit, but I didn't expect that he was so close to His Majesty?
Yang Zong smiled and asked, "Are you okay here?" Your Majesty heard that Yongliang's general is brave and arrogant, and he is still very concerned about this matter, how is it? Didn't you make this fierce general suffer, did you? ”
Ma Long looked at the generals around him with a smile, and said seriously: "Let Yang Gong know that these generals are all brave and good at fighting, and they obey the generals' orders on weekdays, and there is no place to go beyond the violation, they are diligent in their work, and I will personally write to Your Majesty to show credit for them." ”
Many generals suddenly laughed and hurriedly saluted, "Don't dare, it's all the general's work!" ”
Ma Long asked everyone to stay outside the door, took Yang Zong's hand closely, and walked into the camp.
The two obviously have some private matters to discuss.
The generals stood not far away, looked at each other a few times, and were silent.
After entering the camp, the smiles on the faces of Yang Zong and Ma Long disappeared at the same time, and Ma Long hurriedly let go of his hand and saluted Yang Zong very seriously.
"Thank you Yang Gong."
Yang Zong shook his head and just asked calmly, "How is your situation here?" ”
"Everything's fine."
"Gather men, come with me, I'm here for something very important."
Malone hurriedly said, "What do you need me to do?" ”
"Raid the house and catch the thief."
Yang Zong said very simple and clear, and Ma Long didn't ask anything more, Yang Zong was sent by the emperor, so it doesn't matter who this thief is, the emperor said that whoever is the thief, then who is the thief!
Soon, Yang Zong and Ma Long walked out of here again, and Ma Long did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly gathered his elite cavalry, and named several generals to lead the troops to follow him.
Yang Zong got into the car, and the group left here in a mighty way.
From Yang Zong to now, Yang Zong has not been in contact with Zhuge Xu and others.
They went straight to the first stop, which was Naxiping.
Ma Long's army can come and go freely in Yongliang and other places, as long as Ma Long is there, even the assassin Shi can't ask about his affairs.
When they came to Xiping, they saw someone blocking the road.
Ma Long was furious and was about to step forward, but Yang Zong stopped him.
Yang Zong squinted his eyes and looked at the man in official uniform in front of him, and he was followed by a few small officials.
The man stepped forward and saluted, "But Yang Gong in person?" ”
Yang Zong asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Xiping County ordered Yuan to visit Yang Gong first!"
Yang Zong sighed, "What is it for to stand in the way of this road?" Do you know what I have in my hand? What kind of crime is this? ”
Yang Zong is now holding the festival, and it is okay to block Ma Long and Yang Zong, but it is a felony to block the battle of the Son of Heaven.
Even if Malone directly stepped forward and hacked him to death, he was not wronged!
Yuan Xian saluted again, "I confess my guilt, but please allow Yang Gong to give me my reasons before dealing with me." ”
"Say it."
Yuan Xian took a deep breath and said with a crying voice: "Yang Gong, there are people under my rule who have blatantly violated the law, but I can't do anything about them. ”
Yang Zong asked knowingly, "Oh? Who is it? ”
"I really don't dare to say it!"
"It's okay to be straight!"
"It's the Guo clan of the Xiping clan! is also the family of the current Queen Mother! ”
Yang Zong looked a little surprised, and he reprimanded: "Bold, how can the Queen Mother's clan do something that violates the law?" Didn't you frame it? ”
Hearing Yang Zong's questioning, Yuan Xian knew that he had come to the right place.
After Yuan Xian found out that he couldn't communicate with Guo Feng, he decided to risk his life to intercept Yang Zong, who was investigating this matter, it didn't matter what the price was, the important thing was not to let his clan be unlucky with this stupid thing.
And looking at Yang Zong's posture, the Son of Heaven is leading the top local generals plus thousands of elites, and you still say that you are not here to do the big clan?
If you get closer, you can fight a battle with Wu on this scale.
Yuan Xian hurriedly said: "I don't dare to talk nonsense, Yang Gong, I have evidence here, the Guo family violated the law by arresting those migrated Qianghu as their own domestic slaves."
Yang Zong frowned and said nothing.
Yuan Xian hurriedly handed him a large pile of papers, "Here are the details of those people, as well as their places of residence, I can lead you to see them now."
Yang Zongdong didn't move.
Didn't even reach out to pick up the evidence.
"Bold Yuan Xian, An dares to talk nonsense, then the Guo family, the queen mother's family, what do you want these Hu family slaves to do? It's clear that you're talking nonsense!! ”
Yang Zong scolded, and he wanted to let the left and right step forward to take people.
Yuan Xian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses.
He hurriedly said: "Yang Gong, what I said is true, the Guo family used these Hu people to take the public land distributed to them by the temple and take it for themselves!" ”
Yang Zong's reaction seemed to be that the crime was not comprehensive enough.
Yuan Xian hurriedly made up for it.
Yang Zong was very angry, he sneered and asked, "Will the Guo family lack all this money and arable land?!" ”
At this moment, Yuan Xian was a little stunned.
What the hell are you here for?
Didn't you come to govern the Guo family?
Fang Cai felt that the crime was not big enough, and now why?
Looking at the dazed Yuan Xian, Yang Zong narrowed his eyes and said, "I came here because I heard that someone had summoned Hu soldiers in a vain attempt to rebel."
Yuan Xian suddenly shuddered.
He now knows why, this is not to cure the Guo family, this is to destroy the Guo family!!
What did he annex Gongtian, what he wanted was evidence of the Guo family's rebellion!
Can the queen mother's relatives also be involved in rebellion?
Yuan Xian was suddenly a little panicked at this moment, but he was also glad for his behavior today.
As far as Yang Zong's idea is concerned, if he really waits for himself to verify, he is afraid that he will not be directly beaten as a traitor's fellow party!
Yuan Xian remembered the old thing's face, and immediately did not hesitate.
"Yang Gong! I don't know the specifics, but I know that the Guo family has collected a large number of Hu cavalry, purchased a large number of iron weapons, and also bought war horses at a low price."
Yuan Xian didn't talk nonsense, after these Hu people were relocated, the property they left behind became fragrant and sweet, and everyone rushed to ask for it.
The most precious of them all is their war horses.
In Liangzhou, livestock are not so precious, but war horses are precious wherever they are placed, even in Liangzhou.
And the purpose of buying iron tools was to provide agricultural tools for those Hu people.
But taken together, these acts are undoubtedly a proper rebellion.
Yuan Xian said seriously: "I have some empirical evidence there!" ”
Yang Zong nodded with satisfaction, "As a county commander, you can be regarded as very bold to correct the queen mother's clan, I heard that the first Han Dynasty once had a strong order, I think you are similar to him!" ”
Hearing Yang Zong's praise, Yuan Xian thanked him again and again, but his heart was extremely bitter.
What kind of strong order, this is to offend the Queen Mother and her family.
However, I had already reminded them, but if they didn't appreciate it, then I would blame myself.
It's better to offend the Queen Mother than to be executed directly.
If it's just that you are arrested and questioned, it will be forgotten, but this kind of thing is easy to involve your own clan, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Yang Zong immediately ordered Yuan Xian to take himself to collect physical evidence, and at the same time asked Ma Long to prepare to attack the traitor.
It can be seen that Yuan Xian did prepare a lot of things, and when Ma Long surrounded the inside and outside of the county, Yang Zong also got a lot of evidence from him.
Subsequently, Yuan Xian led the generals under Ma Long's command to the gathering place of the Hu people, which can be said to be a gathering of human and material evidence!
It was only at this time that the Guo family discovered the strangeness in the city.
The people up and down were in a panic, and Guo Feng hurriedly sent someone to find Yuan Xianling, wanting to ask him clearly.
It's just that the people he sent are all gone.
Just when Guo Feng was angrily abusing the county order, someone finally came to visit.
The one who came to visit was the Yuan County Order he was looking for, but unfortunately, Yuan Xian did not come alone, he was accompanied by Yang Zong, as well as the Anxi general Ma Long and his four thousand elite horsemen.
