Chapter 221 Seizing Power
Ma Liang walked to his backyard holding the tray.
On the tray were some of the best things caught today. The chef carefully cooked them and brought them over to please his father.
No matter what, it was a treasonous thing for the son to drug his father, numb him, and then put him under house arrest.
Outside the small courtyard, security is tight. Guards with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry surround the entire backyard like an iron barrel. It is true that not a single mosquito can fly in.
As soon as he got close to the yard, he heard his father's loud yelling.
I scolded myself, my old subordinates, and my mother, with occasional sounds of throwing chairs and teacups.
Since he took away his power, the old man has made a small fuss every day and a big fuss every three days.
But listening to this voice, the qi is definitely qi, but it has not destroyed the body.
The qi is very strong.
Approaching the door, the guards bowed and saluted one by one, each of them looking a little uncomfortable.
After all, they are guarding their old superiors, and it is really uncomfortable to listen to scoldings here every day.
Ma Liang stretched out his hand to rub his face, then put on a smile and walked in.
"Dad, I brought you delicious food!" He said in a cheerful tone: "I went hunting today and the harvest was very good. I also took this opportunity to clean up the surrounding beasts to avoid These beasts come out to hurt people at every turn."
With a cry, a tea cup flew out of the room and went straight to Ma Liang's door.
It's just that Ma Dacheng was drugged by Ma Liang and couldn't use his true energy. The accuracy was very good, but the strength was only that of an ordinary person.
Ma Liang smiled and reached out to pick off the flying tea cup, put it on the plate, and stepped through the door.
Ma Dacheng sat on the Taishi chair, holding a teapot in his hand. Next to his left hand stood Ma Liang's mother, Mrs. Ma, and to his right stood two concubines. However, the faces of the three women looked different. None of them are good.
It seems that Ma Dacheng's temper was particularly strong today, and the three women were all very angry.
"Dad looks very good. Look, what I brought you today are bear paws."
"Get out!" Ma Dacheng said angrily.
Ma Liang put down the tray and said with a smile: "Dad, I really got away, really got away!"
Seeing that Ma Liang had walked to the door, Ma Dacheng's face was still It was dark, but his tone softened: "Come back!"
"Okay!" Ma Liang came back with a smile, dragged a chair over, and sat in front of Ma Dacheng.
“Bring it here!” Ma Dacheng stretched out his hand.
"What?" Ma Liang asked knowingly.
"Antidote!" Ma Dacheng said angrily.
"If I give you the antidote, my son will suffer." Ma Liang said with a smile: "You are at the peak of the eighth grade, and my son is only the seventh grade of Xiaoxuan Yuan, so he can't beat him. It can't be true. You are disobedient and unfilial, so I think it is best to be a father and a son!"
"Damn it!" Ma Dacheng raised the teapot in his hand and was about to smash it down. A woman exclaimed and went up to hug Ma Dacheng's arms. Mrs. Ma even snatched the teapot back from Ma Dacheng's hand.
However, Ma Liang knew that his father could not really hit him, otherwise even if his true energy was blocked, an ordinary adult would not be able to achieve the strength of his mother and two charming concubines. Can be stopped.
"We, father and son, have something to discuss. You drugged me and took away the military power. I can forgive you for this, but you can't keep confining me like this, right? You have already taken away the military power, and all my old brothers have been bribed by you. It has to be clean, what else do you have to worry about?" Ma Dacheng said softly.
"Dad, when we are father and son, I still know your temper. The older you get, the hotter you get!" Ma Liang said with a smile: "If I really want to let you go, you can tie me up later." Speaking of the army, what can the uncles, uncles, or my brothers in the army do to our father and son? I guess they will follow you again."
< br>"What's wrong with following me?" Ma Dacheng shouted: "Over the years, Yangguan has grown from only a few thousand people to now a full force of 20,000 troops, well-equipped and powerful in combat. This is what a kid like you can do. Are you here? "
"Dad, Shi Ye is in a position of strength, you are just borrowing this east wind, the court wants to use Yangguan to block Linghuye's move southward!" Ma Liang said: " That's why Yangguan is now here. But don't forget that your son has worked hard to raise military expenses in recent years. You don't think that the supplies from the court can support the 20,000 troops in Yangguan. Only the fate of our Ma family and his son is Go ahead!”
Ma Dacheng was speechless for a moment.
"Son, tell me the truth. What are you trying to do by suddenly taking the military power away from me?" Ma Dacheng lowered his voice, glanced at the women around him, and waved his hand to tell them leave. "You, you don't want to lead the Yangguan garrison south to swim in this muddy water, do you? Son, let me tell you, don't make this mistake. In Yangguan, we are one dragon. After leaving Yangguan, we Nothing!" "I still have this understanding!" Ma Liang said with a smile: "Dad, don't think of your son as the ignorant little kid in the past. I will naturally have my own ideas, and dad, the court. It doesn’t work, but you are still focused on being a watchdog for the court. This is not possible. We have to think about the future!”
“You want to join Linghuye?” Ma Dacheng's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up: "I'll break your legs!"
Ma Liang stretched out his hand, dumbfounded, and forced his old father to sit down: "How is that possible? Ling Huye That old boy won’t be able to dance much longer. Will I follow this autumn grasshopper to death?”
“What do you mean?” Ma Dacheng asked doubtfully.
"I can't say that!" Ma Liang spread his hands: "Military secrets."
Ma Dacheng stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "You, what on earth did you do with Xiao Changche, Li Dachui and the others?"
"Dad, let's have a good heart-to-heart talk today!" Ma Liang said: "Speaking of it, we, father and son, really haven't sat down and talked properly in the past few years. As for you, you always treat me as an ignorant child. , You want to arrange everything for me, and you don’t discuss any major issues with me!”
“You discuss with me?” Ma Dacheng snorted: “If you don’t agree, you will put me down!”< br>
"Dad, Linghuye has colluded with Beiyuan, and it is a certainty that he will give up outside the pass!" Ma Liang said: "Linghu Zhishu was found, but when he arrived at Yangguan, he discovered that Yangguan Guan has fallen into my hands, so he found me.”
"If you want me to switch and let him pass, that's just a dream. The impregnable Yang Pass is where they will be buried!" Ma Dacheng snorted coldly.
"I sold one million taels!" Ma Liang said: "Money first, goods later, give me one million, I will open Yangguan and let them pass."
"What? ?" Ma Dacheng jumped up for the second time: "Ma Liang, you traitor, are you going to piss me off?"
Ma Liang looked at his father calmly and said, "Dad, now There was chaos in the east and west of the river. As soon as He Zudao left, the local insurrectionary army rose up bravely. People's heads were beaten into dog heads. He Zudao was hard to figure out. He Zudao was moving east and west. People with a little strength in the entire south started to fight. Self-protection, the imperial decree can no longer leave Chang'an. At this time, do you think it matters a lot if there is one more Linghuye or one less Linghuye?"
"Can Linghuye be allowed to enter the pass? , Then who will deal with the Yuan people?" Ma Dacheng said sternly: "Ling Huye will not surrender to the Yuan people, right?"
"To resist Yuan Ren, there are Xiao Changche, Li Dachui from the Anxi Protectorate, and our Ma family father and son." Ma Liang also stood up and said sternly: "Rather than leaving a Linghuye with ulterior motives behind, he might Backstab us, it's better to get enough Let them leave, and the rest of us can concentrate on dealing with the Yuan people. It is better for us to fight alone!"
"This is what Li Dachui is telling you! "?" Ma Dacheng said.
"Yes!" Ma Liang nodded and said: "I think it makes sense."
"That's a hundred thousand troops, the most elite army in the entire Great Qin! Without these one hundred thousand troops , Just Anxi, what can I do to resist the Yuan people?"
Ma Liang snorted: "I don't think Linghu Ye can take away a hundred thousand troops!"
"What do you mean?"
"One hundred thousand elites from outside the customs, not necessarily all of them are Linghuye's loyal supporters. In the past, everyone had no choice but to follow Linghuye, but now Anxi is here Are there Xiao Changche and Li Dachui in the Duhufu? "
"You mean, there are generals from the Anton Dufufu who have reached a secret agreement with you?"
" I don’t know!” Ma Liang denied it!
"You little bastard, you can even hide this from me!" Ma Dacheng said angrily.
"I really don't know!" Ma Liang defended: "Father, Beiyuan is also in a mess right now. Yingzhuo is going to die. Several sons are vying for positions and fighting openly and secretly. The situation in Beiyuan is also precarious. If it is not protected well, it will explode. Civil war, and Li Dachui has been working hard to promote this matter. Once it succeeds, our situation will be much better. If Linghuye is still here, let this kid pick the peaches, then we have worked so hard for it. Who is busy?”
“How long have you been colluding with Li Dachui?” Ma Dacheng asked weakly.
"Seven or eight years ago!" Ma Liang said: "I followed Li Dachui as a horse bandit for a long time!"
Ma Dacheng pointed at Ma Liang and nodded. It bounced for a while, but then it was weakly put down.
"Are you going to keep me locked up like this?" He saw it and it was impossible to expect his son to release him and regain military power.
"Of course not!" Ma Liang said with a smile: "I am going to send you, mother and several other ladies to Tai'an City. The houses are ready. Didn't I tell you about Li Dachui's big house? Is it so comfortable? Just go to Tai'an City to enjoy the blessings there. If you have nothing to do, you can discuss your martial arts cultivation with the innate master Zhou. How many years have you been stuck at the peak of the eighth rank? Wu Cunjin, I am free this time, just to study what the problem is."
Ma Dacheng was furious: "You are putting me under house arrest in another place!"
"Tai'an City is really a good place. Ah, you've never been there, you'll know when you go!" Ma Liang watched Ma Dacheng pick up the teapot on the table again, and immediately stood up and walked away: "Dad, this teapot is a treasure, one teapot has four cups. , worth one thousand taels!”
