Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 231 Ma Teng plots against Dong Zhuo



Situ Wangyun's Mansion in Chang'an City.

More than a dozen people including Situ Wangyun, Sikong Yang Biao, Taiwei Zhu Jun, Yushi Zhongcheng Huangfusong, Sili Xiaowei Huang Wan, and servant Sun Rui gathered together in secret.

Wang Yun said: "My letter to Cao Shuo has already been answered."

When Yang Biao saw Wang Yun's unsightly face, he knew that Cao Shuo had rejected Wang Yun's suggestion. After all, he had a good life in Jizhou, so there was no need to take risks in Chang'an.

Shi Sunrui asked eagerly, "Lord Situ, what did Cao Shuo say in the letter?"

Wang Yun explained: "He said that there have been a lot of affairs recently, the war situation in the north is unstable, Lu Bu is eyeing Daijun, Gongsundu despised the imperial court, and became the emperor in Liaodong County, and his army is attacking Gongsundu."

"Cao Shuo suggested that we contact Cao Cao, Liu Biao, or Ma Teng and others."

Wang Yun did not say that Diao Chan was pregnant, he would not tell these people that his daughter married Cao Shuo, otherwise, once the matter was revealed, his life would be over.

Sili Captain Huang Wan sighed and said, "Hey, it's not easy to let the princes enter Luoyang alone."

In this world, except for Cao Shuo who has this ability, no one else can kill Dong Zhuo even if they come to Chang'an.

Wang Yun recalled the beauty trick Cao Shuo told him at the beginning, and he didn't get angry at all. He agreed to separate Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo, but in the end he sent Lv Bu away first.

Who do you want to use your beauty trick on?After Wang Yun thought about it, the only person around Dong Zhuo who could complete this task was Lu Bu.

Without Lu Bu, there is no way to talk about beauty tricks.

Yushi Zhongcheng Huang Fusong said: "Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo earlier, and he will definitely not come to Chang'an at this time. Liu Biao was selected by Dong Zhuo himself. I am afraid that this person will not help us."

Taiwei Zhu Jun said: "Without peerless bravery, we still need to find a way to bring him closer to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was born in the army, and his martial arts skills are not ordinary. Without Cao Shuo, this plan will be impossible."

Although the Taiwei has the right to control the soldiers and horses in the world, Dong Zhuo has set up a prime minister above the Sangong, and he is in charge of all the soldiers and horses. He is a person with empty official positions but no real power.

Among these people, only Sili Xiaowei Huang Wan has military power, but Huang Wan has Li Meng, Fan Chou, and Dong Huang as lieutenants, and his every move is under Dong Zhuo's control.

Sikong Yang Biao asked: "What do you guys think of Ma Teng? I heard that he is very brave. If he can enter Chang'an, he might really be able to replace Cao Shuo."

Then everyone began to formulate a reason for Ma Teng to enter Chang'an without Ma Teng's consent.

In Wuwei County, Liangzhou, in the prefect's mansion.

Ma Teng summoned his elder brother Ma Yi and sworn brother Han Sui to discuss the feasibility of entering Chang'an.

After Han Sui and Ma Yi saw it, they scoffed at the thoughts of these ministers.

They also participated in the eighteenth princes' campaign against Dong earlier. How could Dong Zhuo easily let them enter Chang'an?

Ma Yi said: "Second brother, we cannot agree to this matter. Dong Zhuo is at the critical moment of proclaiming himself emperor. The investigation must be very strict. Once the matter is revealed, we will die without a place to die."

Cheng Gongying, Han Sui's counselor, said, "My lords, maybe this is an opportunity!"

"Oh?" The three looked at Cheng Gongying curiously.

Ma Teng summoned Ma Yi and Han Sui, and asked Han Sui to bring Cheng Gongying with him, just to give them advice.

Cheng Gongying is one of the few counselors in Xiliang, and many of their decisions are due to Cheng Gongying.

Cheng Gongying explained: "After Lu Bu became the governor of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo recruited to Chang'an many times, but was rejected by Lu Bu. His son-in-law Cao Shuo was in Jizhou again. Lu Bu had a great intention to break away from Dong Zhuo."

"Presumably this is also Cao Shuo's suggestion, and Lu Bu has obtained a lot of resources from Cao Shuo. The two colluded secretly, and Dong Zhuo also turned a blind eye."

"If we tell Dong Zhuo that Lv Bu has colluded with Cao Shuo to murder him secretly."

"Taking this opportunity to pretend to surrender to Dong Zhuo will definitely make us do something to prove that we are sincerely surrendering."

Han Sui asked, "How can we prove that we are sincerely surrendering?"

Cheng Gongying explained: "First, help him clear the roadblocks, second, send people into the court as hostages, and third, ask for official positions."

Ma Teng asked in confusion: "Why do you want to ask for an official position?"

Cheng Gongying said: "If we don't ask for official positions and don't plan for anything, how can Dong Zhuo trust us?"

Ma Yi asked: "What kind of roadblocks do you help Dong Zhuo clear?"

Cheng Gongying explained: "The biggest obstacle for Dong Zhuo to become emperor is the princes on the east side of Hangu Pass, followed by Lu Bu in the north of Hongnong County. If we help him defeat Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo will definitely believe it."

Ma Teng asked again: "Then who should be sent to the court as a hostage?"

Cheng Gongying looked at Ma Yi at the side and said, "Brother Yicheng is the most suitable."

"What!" Ma Yi glared at Cheng Gongying, making himself a hostage?

In case the matter is revealed, wouldn't it be death without a place to bury him?

Cheng Gongying explained: "Brother Yicheng, don't get excited, listen to my explanation!"

"Huh!" Ma Yi snorted coldly, staring at Cheng Gongying, if you don't give me a reasonable reason today, you won't be able to leave Ma's house.

Cheng Gongying said: "Whether it is to help Dong Zhuo deal with Lu Bu, or to enter the court as a hostage and ask for official positions, it is all to make Dong Zhuo trust us, but our purpose is to kill Dong Zhuo and rescue Liu Xie, so the assassination fell on the On this hostage."

"Let me assassinate Dong Zhuo?" Ma Yi was speechless.
