The 66th Liu Junlang abolished the history of the establishment of the pastoral system and the eagle knife chief advised

  Ma Fu immediately interrupted Shi Sunrui as soon as he heard Liu Yan, because in his impression, Liu Yan was the father of Liu Zhang. During the decline of the Eastern Han dynasty and the great chaos in the world, he had proposed a major suggestion that affected the history of the Three Kingdoms, namely, using imperial clansmen and high-ranking officials as provincial governors, surpassing the governor and magistrate in local areas, monopolizing power to stabilize the people, known as "abolishing historians and establishing shepherds".

  It is puzzling that the imperial court actually adopted this suggestion, but the result did not lead to the centralization of power in the Han Dynasty. Instead, it led to the formation of local warlords and separatist regimes, including Liu Yan, who after taking office as provincial governors, basically no longer obeyed the imperial court's control.

  And Liu Yan, as the state shepherd, established a separatist regime, which was also one of the earliest in the Three Kingdoms era. Ma Fu collapsed when he saw this historical material before his soul wore out, but he couldn't help but admire Liu Yan. On the surface, he pretended to be thinking for the great Han Dynasty, but in reality, he was preparing to grasp local power for himself. What a pity and what a joke!

  "Dong Zhuo is going to have Liu Yan send troops to attack the allied forces from both sides?" Ma Fu asked.

  Shi Sun Ruidao said: "That's right! But Liu Yan has always been biased towards one side, and the emperor's orders have never been listened to. How can he listen to that Dong Ze?"

  Ma Fu burst out laughing and said: "Regardless of whether he listened or not, this inadvertently created a very favorable condition for you to escape from Luoyang City."

  "It's true! After leaving the city, I thought that Dong Zhuo had already closed the gates and slaughtered the allied forces, so I didn't dare to slack off. I went straight to Xingyang Pass to seek help from other routes of the allied forces, but except for Sun Jian, no one believed me!"

  The groom let out a long sigh and said: "Sun Taishou is our savior! Fortunately, he sent troops in time, otherwise we might have been completely wiped out!"

  Just as Ma Fu was about to discuss with Shi Sunrui and others the plan to rescue Wang Yun, a soldier suddenly said that he found a suspicious person dropping a letter at the door and running away.

  Ma Fu took over the letter and angrily said: "This Li Ru is really annoying! He actually dares to threaten the governor!"

  Yin Feng and others, after reading the letter, also felt that Li Ru was too ruthless. He threatened to take Wang Zhi's life as a threat, letting Ma Fu go alone to Luoyang, saying that if Ma Fu went, Dong Xiang would release people, but if Ma Fu didn't go, Wang Yun would definitely be punished by cannon fire.

  They all knew that this punishment of burning iron was done by King Zhou of Shang, it was a punishment for branding people with red-hot iron, and its cruelty!

  "What to do?" Shi Sunrui was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

  "Wait," said Ma Fu. "Let's analyze this carefully!"

  "What else is there to discuss? Leaving means going to one's death!" Yun Ying walked out of the inner hall just in time to hear their discussion.

  "Ma Fu hastily said: 'What about Diao Chan? Absolutely must not let her know of this matter!'"

  Yun Ying said: "I still have this measure! She's too tired, she's already asleep. I advise you not to go, it's clearly a sheep entering the tiger's mouth!"

  Ma Fu was a man of great loyalty and righteousness. When his father-in-law was in trouble, how could he turn a deaf ear to it? He said to Yun Ying: "Even if Luoyang is the Ghost Gate, I must go!"

  Yun Ying saw him so stubborn, and angrily said: "Do you know that this is just going to die? You are now a great general of the army, how can you not even understand this little reason? This is clearly a trap set by Dong Ze! If you are destroyed, the vassal army will never be able to rise again! Do you understand?"

  The groom said calmly: "I already know all these things, and you don't need to persuade me! My mind is made up!"

  Yin Feng saw Ma Fu's heavy emotions and righteousness, although he didn't agree with Ma Fu going to rescue Wang Yun. Seeing his determination, he loudly said: "If General Ma goes to Luoyang, I am willing to follow him to the death!"

  Zhao Ang and Shi Sunrui also made statements one after another.

  Ma Fu said to Shi Sunrui: "You still have injuries on your body, it's better to stay here and recover! I've decided to rush to Luoyang tonight, if I don't rescue Wang Situ, I won't return to Suān Zǎo!"

  "Ah, this little injury is nothing! It's just a flesh wound! My life has long been dedicated to Wang Situ. If Marquis Taigong doesn't let me go, I'll die right in front of you!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Sunrui immediately pulled out a dagger. Yun Ying was quick to react and snatched the dagger, pointing it at his own belly: "You want to go? If you do, then step over my corpse first!"

  The groom did not expect that Yunying, who was usually fearless of heaven and earth, would react so greatly this time. He hastily said: "Quickly put down the dagger!"

  Yun Ying glared at Ma Fu and said: "Unless you promise me not to go to Luoyang!"

  The groom helplessly shook his head, but it was this shake of the head that made Yun Ying suddenly grasp the dagger with both hands and insert it into her own abdomen.

  The groom's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, he seized the dagger with his bare hands, and in an instant, a drop of blood dripped onto Yunying's feet.

  Yun Ying was shocked and hurriedly went to find something for the horseman to bandage. When she returned, the horseman saw that her eyes were red, but in front of him, she still pretended to be strong.

  "It's nothing, I have a lot of blood to spare." The groom's hand had been cut with a long gash, but for someone who came and went in the wind and rain, this injury was not a big deal.

  "Does it hurt?" Yun Ying's rare gentleness made Ma Fu forget the pain. He shook his head, not answering, and quietly looked at the beauty who was carefully bandaging him over there.

  "What? What's going on?" Diao Chan was woken up by the noise and rushed to the front of Ma Chao.

  The groom saw her pale and haggard appearance and said to her: "It's okay, it's okay, just a little situation."

  "What's going on? Why is there so much blood?"

  Ma knew that if he said it alone, Diao Chan would not believe him. He quickly gave a signal to Yin Feng, who thought for a moment and then said: "Governor Ma was poisoned by a slow-acting toxin during the Battle of Tiger Trap Pass. The poison has just taken effect, and his palm must be cut open to let out the toxic blood in order to cure it."

  Although the groom felt that this statement had loopholes, for a moment he couldn't think of a better statement, so he said: "As he said, I didn't notice it before either. I didn't expect the poison to be so severe, but now there's nothing wrong!"

  "Sister, is it like this?"

  After Yunying said it was true, Diao Chan finally believed. He said to the groom: "Next time when you go to war, you must be more careful. You have the bravery of a thousand men, but it's hard to guard against petty people. If there is any mishap..."

  Yun Ying heard this and hastily interrupted: "Look at what you're saying, sister! You take good care of him for now, I'll go out and buy some medicine for him!"

  She turned and left. Yin Feng, Zhao Ang and Shi Sunrui knew that they couldn't mention rescuing Wang Yun in front of Diao Chan, so they had to leave temporarily.

  After Yunying walked out of the yard, he didn't rush to buy medicine, but instead secretly wrote a letter and sent it by carrier pigeon.

  After Yunying finished buying medicine and came back, Diao Chan hurried to decoct the medicine. Meanwhile, Yunying took the opportunity to ask Ma Fu: "Haven't you changed your mind yet?"

  The groom furrowed his brow: "Please don't make things difficult for me, I know you're doing this for my sake, but I'm not willing to be an unfeeling and unrighteous person!"

  Yun Ying saw that he was still unchanged and immediately said with a heroic tone: "In that case, I'll accompany you there!"

  Ma Fu Li refused, but Yun Ying said: "If you don't let me go, you also can't leave this courtyard a step!"

  The groom had no choice but to agree with him for the time being.

  After Ma Fu took the medicine, he said to Diao Chan: "You are also very tired, hurry up and rest! I will go to rest too, there are still things to do tomorrow!"

  After Diao Chan reluctantly left, Ma Fu also let Yun Ying go to rest first, lest it arouse Diao Chan's suspicion.

  At the third watch that night, Ma Fu quietly walked out of the house door, but when he walked out of the courtyard, only to see Yun Ying, Yin Feng, Zhao Yang and Shi Sun Rui were already waiting for him at the gate.

  "I knew you'd go alone, sneaking around. You're really not very loyal, are you?" Yun Ying's hands were still holding the reins of the Blood Steed, his face full of complaints.

  The groom smiled bitterly and said: "Since that's the case, I don't have anything good to say either. It's getting late, let's hurry up and go, the earlier we leave, the earlier we'll be back!"

  Several people turned over and rode horses all the way to Luoyang. Along the way, corpses were seen everywhere.

  Just as Ma Fu led the crowd to prepare for an opportunity to enter Luoyang City, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind them. The black shadow dropped a blood-soaked handkerchief and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

  The groom picked up the blood-stained handkerchief and, by the faint moonlight, vaguely saw that the signature on it was actually Wang Yun's.

  He was taken aback, and after reading it word by word, his eyes were already filled with tears...
