Chapter 345: A Cornered Dog Jumps over the Wall

"Of course we have to borrow troops, but we need to test Ma Chong and Ma Jin's attitudes. Read М" After a pause, Zhao Xu said, "If you rashly lead troops to Qinzhou, it will inevitably directly trigger a war."

Ma Yuan nodded, "My dear nephew, your highness is right. Send someone to tell Ma Chong and Ma Jin that you are still alive."

After a pause, he said, "If they refuse to admit it after learning about this, we will naturally have to use force. If they admit it, let them come to Yancheng with the elders of the Ma family and re-establish your position as the head of the Ma family."

After thinking about it, he continued, "We must also pass on the news that your highness just received and let the elders know. In this way, they can weigh whether it is more beneficial for the Ma family to be the head of the family or for Ma Chong to be the head of the family."

Ma Han agreed deeply.

When his father was alive, the Ma family was the first powerful family to do business with the King of Yan.

After Ma Chong took the position of the head of the family, he almost cut off contact with the King of Yan.

This made it impossible for the Ma family to get artillery from the King of Yan.

If the Ma family elders knew that the King of Yan supported him, they would definitely reconsider.

Of course, he still believed that the Ma family elders were just deceived by Ma Jin.

If they knew that he was still alive, they would definitely support him to take the position of the head of the family.

"In this case, everything will be arranged by your uncle and your highness." Ma Han said.

Ma Yuan patted Ma Han's shoulder heavily, "Don't forget, I am also a member of the Ma family elders. Now I am the governor of Jinzhou, and other elders will definitely know how to make choices."

Zhao Xu listened, but only expressed cautious optimism about Ma Yuan's words.

Ma Chong and Ma Jin knew the consequences of losing their power.

How could they easily hand over the power of the Ma family.

Ma Han would have to go through a disaster to take back the position of the head of the family.

It was precisely because of this that he decided to send someone to Xiancheng first.

If Ma Chong and Ma Jin did not cooperate, Ma Han would have a legitimate reason to return with his troops.

After discussing this matter, Zhao Xu immediately sent someone to Qinzhou.

He also kept the three people in the palace for lunch.

In the afternoon, Mo Kuan went to Yanguan.

He will hand over to Mo Yu at Yanguan.

The 70,000 imperial guards stationed at Yanguan went to Tongguan, and the soldiers of the royal palace will be stationed there from now on.

Ma Yuan was not in a hurry to go to Jinzhou, but waited for news from Qinzhou in Yancheng with Ma Han.

As for the matter of borrowing troops, Zhao Xu decided to prepare in advance.

So he called Chang Wei over.

"Since the emperor has tacitly agreed to this matter, it will be easy to deal with. In my opinion, 30,000 people will be enough for Ma Han." Chang Wei said.

In his opinion, the Ma family's troops are not as good as Xiliang.

And if there is a civil strife in the Ma family, naturally someone will stand on Ma Han's side.

Unable to unite against the same enemy, Ma Jin may not be able to mobilize all the troops of the Ma family.

This number is similar to what Zhao Xu thought, he said: "That's it, go back and prepare, and set off with Ma Han at any time."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei responded and turned out.

Three days later.

The cavalry departing from Yancheng arrived in Xiancheng.

Arriving at the Ma family mansion, they were led to meet Ma Chong.

"When General Ma Jin went to Yancheng, he made an agreement with His Highness that he would come to inform the Ma family once there was any news about Ma Han. Now that Ma Han has survived the disaster and surrendered to the King of Yan, His Highness has specially sent us to tell the Ma family about this." The cavalry general said loudly.

Ma Chong heard this without a trace of expression on his face. He said, "I already know about this. Please go back."

The cavalry general was stunned for a moment. He said, "Your Highness also invited you and the elders of the Ma family to go to Yancheng to establish the position of the head of Ma Han. I hope you will give a reply."

The expression on Ma Chong's face finally changed. He sneered and said, "You just need to tell the King of Yan when you go back. It's not his turn to take care of my Ma family's affairs."

After that, Ma Chong left with a wave of his sleeves.

The cavalry general frowned and had to turn around and leave.

When the figures of the cavalry generals disappeared, Ma Chong returned to the main hall, followed by Ma Jin who had been hiding in the side room.

At this time, Ma Jin looked outside with a gloomy face, and he called out, "Come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came in response.

"Go to the camp and tell Ma Chang immediately to lead a team of cavalry to intercept the cavalry that King Yan came to deliver the letter, and only leave one alive." Ma Jin said sternly.

"Yes, General." After saying yes, the soldier turned and left.

When the soldier's figure disappeared, Ma Chong sat down on the chair dejectedly, "King Yan is telling us clearly that he will take care of the affairs of the Ma family, and he will also support Ma Han to sit on the position of the head of the family."

A few days ago, they learned from the people of the Dou family that Ma Han was still alive.

This matter was undoubtedly a blow to them.

And because of this matter, it was a sensation in the capital.

All the children of the Ma family in the capital knew about it, and the news naturally reached the ears of the elders of the Ma family.

That day, the elders of the Ma family found them and asked them to take back Ma Han and let Ma Han take over the Ma family.

Ma Jin's eyes flashed with ferocity. He said, "We finally got the power of the Ma family. How can we just give it up like this? I think we should just go all out."

Ma Chong looked calm on the surface, but he was very flustered in his heart.

Although he had been the head of the family for these days, the power was in the hands of Ma Jin.

But he really tasted the joy of being the head of the family.

In Xiancheng, he could spend money as he pleased, and he could summon the city's most beautiful woman at will.

How could he easily give up such a life?

What's more, once Ma Han came back, he would definitely investigate the assassination of him and his father.

Once the truth comes out, he and Ma Jin will die without a burial place.

So, it is better to take a risk.

So he said: "What is your plan, uncle?"

Ma Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since the family head's affairs need to be discussed by the elders, and they are loyal to Ma Han, then we will kill all the elders, and then firmly control the Ma family's troops. If the King of Yan wants to take care of this matter, we will fight him."

"But if we take this road, we can't turn back." Ma Chong was shocked.

He was just a playboy who was greedy for love and sex. He was also shocked by Ma Jin's ruthless decision.

"Do we have a way out?" Ma Jin's eyes were full of bloodshot.

He hasn't slept well these days. This is the only way he can think of.

Otherwise, if Ma Han comes back, he will definitely die.

In this way, maybe he still has a chance of survival.

Ma Chong stopped talking and nodded silently.

At this moment, on the official road of the east gate of Xiancheng, the cavalry from Yanzhou were riding back to Yanzhou.

They had not walked ten miles when they saw a group of Ma family cavalry chasing them and running parallel to them.

The leading general said: "Ma Jin wants to kill you. This road cannot be taken. Follow me quickly."

The Yanzhou cavalry general was shocked when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment, and followed the general along a small road.

After walking a few miles, they stopped by the river, and the general said: "I am the Dianzhang."
