Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 925 It's Impossible
The next day, Zhang Lu summoned Wenwu under his command and summoned Ma Tong in the prefect's mansion.

"Jingzhou envoy Ma Tong pays homage to His Highness the King of Hanzhong!"

"Well, no gift!"

Zhang Lu looked at Ma Tong arrogantly, and then asked: "Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from my Hanzhong, why did Master Ma come to my Hanzhong?"

Ma Tong replied: "The emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was cruel and heartless at the end of June. He couldn't accommodate things. The cruel master of filming offended me, Da Chu. My Chu king sent me here to ask the Hanzhong king to send troops to help! If the Hanzhong king can help my family Chu king , This is the sincerity of His Royal Highness Chu, after the matter is completed, I will thank you very much!"

Ma Tong asked people to bring in ten large boxes, put them on the ground, and opened them one by one. The gold, silver and jewels in the boxes shone brightly under the sunlight, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. .

"So it's because of this!"

Zhang Lu closed his eyes slightly, then opened them suddenly, and scolded: "It's nonsense, Liu Wei, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, is the true man, and the soldiers under him are teachers of benevolence and righteousness. On the contrary, it is Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, who arrived in Jingzhou. , Increased corvee service and taxes, made the people of Jingzhou miserable, and sent troops to fight everywhere, making the people around Jingzhou miserable, now being beaten by the Northern Han army and fleeing, do you still want to drag me into the water!"

Ma Tong was taken aback by Zhang Lu's sudden reprimand. He was speechless for a while, and replied falteringly: "The king of Hanzhong must have misunderstood my king of Chu. My king of Chu is a descendant of the Han family. king……!"

"Shut up, when did Liu Daer become a descendant of the Han Dynasty? Liu Bei is a child who weaves mats and sells shoes. He pretends to be a relative of the emperor and deceives people everywhere. I don't want to be with him!"

Zhang Lu continued to reprimand Ma Tong loudly.

Ma Tong was speechless and could only look at Yang Song for help.

But Yang Song turned his eyes away and did not look at Ma Tong.

Ma Tongqi's teeth were itchy, and he secretly scolded Yang Song as a wolf-hearted man who took his own benefits but did not speak for himself.

Ma Tong was silent for a while, and after organizing his words, he said: "It doesn't matter who is good or bad between my King Chu and Liu Wei, just talk about the relationship between our Great Chu and Hanzhong. We are like lips and teeth. Doesn't the King of Hanzhong Do you know the principle of death of lips and cold teeth? Once my King of Chu is defeated, can Liu Ziyan let the King of Hanzhong go? Without my great Chu to resist the Northern Han army from the front, the Northern Han army will come to your Hanzhong in a few days, and your Hanzhong will also perish! "

"Hahahaha, Ma Tong, you know what a fart, I have already bowed my head to the Northern Han Dynasty, and His Majesty also promised me that after he dominates the world, he will not meet me with swords and soldiers in Hanzhong, and I will remove myself from the position of King of Hanzhong , to become an official in the court, not only will I have the imperial decree to prove it, but also the gold medal from my majesty to avoid death!"

Zhang Lu took out a gold medal from behind, with the word "free from death" written on it.

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. I thought that the King of Hanzhong, like my King of Chu, was a generation of heroes, but I didn't expect the King of Hanzhong to be so easy to deceive. In the past, Han Xin made great contributions to Liu Bang, but what happened? Didn't he die tragically at the hands of Liu Bang? Here, do you think that Liu Wei will not kill you if you have this gold medal for avoiding death? Childish, extremely childish!"

Ma Tong laughed back in anger, and started arguing with Zhang Lu.

Being ridiculed by Ma Tong for being naive, Zhang Lu was also angry. He wanted to have Ma Tong kicked out, but Zhang Lu didn't want to admit what Ma Tong said, so he retorted: "Why did Han Xin die? That's because of meritorious service. Lord Gao Zhen, Han Xin is ambitious and wants to become king on his own, but although I don’t say I have no ambitions, I know how much money I have. Your Majesty will kill someone who poses no threat to him? Don’t you think so? Say more, go back to your Jingzhou and wait for your death, if you annoy me, be careful that I will not only send troops to help Liu Daer, but also send troops to help the Northern Han army attack your Jingzhou!"

"you……!"

Ma Tong's face was flushed with anger, he pointed at Zhang Lu and couldn't speak, he didn't expect that Zhang Lu wouldn't let oil and salt in, it was as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine.

"What about me, take your gold and silver, and get out of my Hanzhong!"

Zhang Lu didn't give Ma Tong any face, and let Ma Tong go.

"Okay, Ma Tong has recorded today's humiliation!"

Matt got up and was about to leave.

At this time, one of Zhang Lu's generals said: "King of Hanzhong, why don't you take this man down, escort him to the capital, and hand him over to the Northern Han emperor, we have made meritorious service!"

Ma Tong was terrified, and looked at Zhang Lu in horror, for fear that Zhang Lu would send someone to take him down.

But Zhang Lu didn't intend to arrest Ma Tong, and said, "Even if a small envoy is sent to Liu Wei, it won't be of much use, why bother!"

After Ma Tong heard Zhang Lu's words, he quickened his pace and quickly led people out of Hanzhong Palace.

After Ma Tong left, Zhang Lu's generals also dispersed.

Only Yang Song still couldn't forget the gold, silver and jewels brought by Ma Tong. After answering home, Yang Song was restless, and his mind was full of those more than ten boxes of gold and silver jewels.

Finally, Yang Song couldn't sit still and called his eldest son Yang Gao.

"Father, why did you call the child here?"

Yang Gao asked.

This Yang Gao, like Yang Song, is a money-grubber. Like a father, like a son, if the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked.

Yang Song told Yang Gao everything about today, and then said: "Ma Tong has brought more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewels, so the speed of the journey must be extremely slow. You take the family servants in disguise and go around in front of them." , pretend to be bandits, kill them all, and then bring back all the gold, silver and jewels!"

Yang Gao was a little worried: "Father, that Ma Tong brought hundreds of guards, all of whom are elites from the Jingzhou army, how can the dozens of servants in our family beat them!"

Yang Song said anxiously: "Then what do you say?"

Yang Gao replied: "Father, I went to the army and secretly recruited five hundred confidantes, pretending to be bandits to rob property, but after robbing them, I will give them some points!"

"Okay, it's okay to give them some, there are more than a dozen boxes, you go!"

Yang Song was afraid that he would not be able to stop Ma Tong if he went late, so he urged Yang Gao to hurry up.Before leaving, Yang Song didn't forget to tell Yang Gao and others to do it after leaving Hanzhong, so as not to be suspected.

"it is good!"

Yang Gao quickly dispatched [-] henchmen to the barracks outside the city, and led them to ambush in the mountain in front of Ma Tong, preparing to rob and kill Ma Tong and others.
