"How do you know..." Ma Teng suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this. He did not report to his house. As a result, the other party could tell that he was General Fu Bo Ma Yuan, and he was a little disbelief for a moment.

"Your ancestor is a true loyal and righteous person. As a result, when you come to you, you will make trouble... Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, if your ancestor knew about it, I don't know what you thought." Liu Tao joked.

Seeing that Ma Teng's expression was a little depressed, he simply sat in front of him and continued to ask: "So, why did you make trouble? Tell me, what? Anyway, you can't do anything else now..."

"Well..." Ma Teng was already holding back all his words, and he couldn't feel happy if he didn't vomit.

After he told me, Liu Tao and others learned about the incident:

Ma Kang, the grandson of Ma Yuan, was involved in the Dou Xian case and was killed, and since then, this lineage has completely lost power. Ma Kang's great-grandson Ma Ping (Romance of Ma Su), was originally recommended by Ma Xu, a clan member, and served as the county magistrate of Langan, but in the end he was dismissed from office.

Ma Teng was born in a state of poverty and had to cut wood from Zhangshan and sell it to the city to make a living. It was also because he grew up well and could fight, and gradually he had a certain reputation among the people.

Last June, Beigong Boyu rebelled, and Liangzhou Geng Bi recruited warriors to fight against the thieves. At that time, Ma Teng joined the army. Later, he made great contributions in the war. He was promoted to the Sima of the Army, and later transferred to the position of general.

But in January this year, Geng Bi was killed by his subordinate, Longxi prefect Li Shen (the name is Xiangru). Li Xiangru also raised an army to respond to the rebels. At that time, Ma Teng was strictly under his command, so he was also raped and joined the rebels.

In fact, he has another purpose in joining, which is to find an opportunity to kill Li Xiangru and avenge Geng Bi!

"Brother, this Ma Teng is a little interesting!" Zhang Fei looked at Ma Teng with great interest when he heard this. At first, he looked down on this traitor, especially this guy's ancestor was still Ma Yuan. Later, he knew the reason and thought that this person valued love and friendship.

"It's just that you chose to join the rebels. Although you took all your personal friendship and friendship, as a traitor, you first lost the righteousness. At the same time, your ancestors were originally loyal to the court, but as a descendant, you actually fought against the rebellion because of disloyalty." Liu Tao sighed.

"Ma naturally knew about this." Ma Teng's expression was a little complicated, "After killing Li Shen, I planned to retire, but Han Sui found me and told me that since I had joined the rebels, even if I live in seclusion, the court would pursue it.

At the same time, he told me that we went to Luoyang to clear the king's side. The court had ten regular servants who were in trouble and disrupted the court, which led to the people and the people who are now living in poverty and the Han Dynasty was in danger. As long as we could clear the king's side, we would naturally be able to return the court to a clear-minded state."

"Haha, Han Sui is really good at saying this. I'm afraid it's his purpose. He wants to be Wang Mang right now?" Guo Jia laughed when he heard this.

"Everyone knows what Huo Guang's fate is. When Wang Mang can have 20 or 30 years of his life, why not do it?" Liu Tao asked, "It's all about dying, of course I'll die again. After death, I don't care about the flood..."

"What the lord said is very true!" Guo Jia nodded and agreed, and felt that the metaphor of "I live or die, no matter how floods it is" was really appropriate. However, the biggest problem is that Wang Mang did not die naturally, but died in the chaos.

However, after being killed and reigned for fifteen years, it was not in vain to be the emperor!

"However, the biggest problem is..." Liu Tao looked at Ma Teng, "You should not be stupid either. Can't you hear what Han Sui said, just an excuse? Or you have no worries anymore, so you can give it a try. Whether it is to support the country or to wrap the body in the horse's leather, it is the result of your pursuit?"

"………………………” Ma Teng didn't say anything, but it was obviously what Liu Tao said to him. Whether he could really clear the monarch in the end or was killed during the rebellion, it was the result of his pursuit.

He even thought that if he could really clear the king's side, if Han Sui showed his true face at this time, he would not mind killing him and then present his head to His Majesty. As for himself, he would leave it to His Majesty for his decision.

"You guys go out first... I'll talk to him..." Liu Tao saw him like that and signaled to everyone. In fact, it was mainly to avoid Sun Jian, and this guy also came in with him. Some words were not suitable for him to know.

Seeing this, everyone was still a little worried. Finally, Zhang Fei said that he would stay, but Liu Tao did not stop him, so everyone left.

"Ma Teng, let me ask you, are you a Han minister or a thief?" Liu Tao asked slowly.

"I had no choice before, Ma just wanted to be a Han minister!" Ma Teng replied. As a descendant of Ma Yuan, he naturally wanted to glorify his ancestors and revive the Ma Kang lineage. If he had any other goals, he naturally hoped to see the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the people and the prosperity of the people.

After all, he is no longer alone, his eldest son Ma Chao is already eleven; his second son Ma Xiu is nine years old, his third son Ma Tie is seven years old, and his fourth son Ma Xing is four years old, and his youngest son Ma Ling was just born last year.

Ma Chao was in the army and another subordinate, Pang De. When he saw that he was in danger, he was about to come up to rescue him, but he chose to surrender first, so both were captured.

The process was a bit tortuous, that is, the two of them tried to resist, but were strongly suppressed by Lu Bu and Zhang Fei who rushed over. After all, both of them were still too young... Then again, are Lu Bu and Zhang Fei actually the same and still very young?!

Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and his youngest son Ma Ling were in his hometown of Maoling, which was why he was not scruples. The problem was that the fourth old Ma Xing should still be among the rebels. I don’t know if he was safe and sound, and whether Han Sui could help take care of him.

In fact, after being Ma Yuan, Ma Teng didn't have many choices. He could also be said to be the ruling emperor. If he proclaimed himself as a king, or joined a certain prince and helped the other party become emperor, it would not work.

He himself values ​​this more. As for him, Ma Chao, a young man who was born in a time when he was a triumphant and a scramble for many heroes, would have other ideas, and that was not something he could interfere with.

However, Ma Teng and Ma Shoucheng must be Han officials, and this is absolutely not allowed to be changed!

"There are indeed treacherous people in the court at present, but who is now saying these things is meaningless." Liu Tao sighed, "Luoyang has become a battlefield for several forces to fight for power. Your Majesty is one, the gentry is one, the military is one, and the clan is one or more. The Ten Generals are His Majesty's people, but they also have their own selfish intentions..."

Liu Tao simply told Ma Teng about the situation in Luoyang. Perhaps it was because of the news that was blocked, or many things that had not been thought about before. Ma Teng was confused at first, but later he gradually realized it and felt distressed.

He didn't even expect that this rebellion in the Yiconghu in Huangzhong might have been caused by artificial intention. However, there were indeed people in the court who contacted Han Sui and provided information, so the rebels won a series of victories and even avoided several pursuits.

The purpose of the rebellion is to make things bigger and then attract His Majesty's attention to it, so that they can make a peaceful arrangement in Luoyang.

If this is the case, then the possibility of his smooth clearance of the king is almost zero. At the beginning, he made a mistake in the enemy and even became an accomplice of the enemy.
