Chapter 617 Changes in Heyin!
If it was Ma Su in the past, he would most likely refuse without hesitation and estimate how much money each company could get from their bribes.
Then after returning, use this as a basis to start preparing for blackmail.
But this time Ma Su suddenly went out of his way and did not refuse. On the contrary, he accepted all political bribes and accepted the voluntary gifts from the rich and powerful with a calm face.
In addition, Ma Su did not object to their hints of persuasion. On the contrary, the attitude seemed extremely vague, and it made all the big clans feel happy.
After all, if you are not firm about this kind of thing, it means you are tempted. Otherwise, this attitude will be enough for the court to convict you.
Ma Di has been running rampant in official circles for so many years, so it is impossible that he does not know this truth. So now that his attitude is ambiguous, it is obvious that he has already been moved!
Seeing this situation, several wealthy families donated money more generously, thinking that this could strengthen Ma Su's determination.
It has to be said that this group of wealthy people are much more generous than the landlords in Yizhou when fighting for their future. Several wealthy families directly stated that if Ma Su is willing, they are willing to help with all their resources, and all resources will be allocated by Ma Su.
"If the general is planning something big and needs it, we will have nothing to say! Even if it means clearing the land or increasing taxes, we will all be willing to cooperate!"
A group of chiefs of Luoyang's big clans all expressed that this is called generous. Even if Ma Su suspected that he wanted their wives, they would still have to give them to him.
Tsk, asking what power is in the world makes people agree between life and death...
"Ma Youchang understands your good intentions! But right now, I really have one thing I want you to help me with." Ma Su nodded slightly, and suddenly his tone changed, acting a bit mysterious.
Seeing Ma Su's attitude, all the wealthy families immediately became energetic and quickly asked Ma Su if he needed anything. As long as they can help, they won't hesitate to go bankrupt.
"In fact... I have been quietly deploying troops and generals in Luoyang these days, preparing to do a big thing." Seeing the overt and covert statements of the big family, Ma Su also started to riddle.
"I have ordered General Zhenbei and General Zhengxi to withdraw 50,000 troops each to join me. At the same time, I have thousands of elites already stationed in Luoyang for this important event."
"In half a month, I will hold a grand parade with the prince in Heyin, north of Luoyang, on the bank of the Yellow River. At that time, all those who are willing to support me will go to Heyin to meet. Let me see the strength of your support! "
Ma Su's words seemed to be a riddle, but he revealed a lot of exciting news. All the noble clans were astonished and were extremely shocked by the speed of Ma Su's actions.
I originally thought that you were an ambitious person who couldn't bear to bully the emperor, but I didn't expect that you just wanted to be well prepared.
However, this gave all the wealthy people a shot in the arm. After all, this further proved the value of Ma Su's investment.
Although Ma Su didn't have a good reputation in Longyou before, that was all ten years ago. Although Ma Su has offended many people over the years, he already looks like a mature politician.
Therefore, in the eyes of the wealthy clan, he can help. As long as they support Ma Su to counterattack Kansai, they can also have the power of following the dragon.
For a time, there were many people who responded to Ma Su, and many wealthy families expressed their willingness to support Ma Su's move. For this reason, Ma Su also smiled and nodded, acknowledging their support.
That night, Ma Su had a great harvest and returned to the general's mansion with a large amount of bribes. And all the major families left with satisfaction and everyone was happy.
A huge action is brewing...

Half a month later, the army revealed by Ma Su appeared.
Jiang Wei, who was supposed to appear in Xingyang, appeared east of Luoyang with tens of thousands of people. Deng Ai led tens of thousands of people to the south of Luoyang, but his attitude was unknown.
As for Ma Di, he even sent people to notify the senior officials of the major families to gather in Heyin on this day without even pretending. Subsequently, Ma Su led the Xuanfeng Battalion and Long Wuyi with a high standard of 5,000 people and set off for Heyin in a mighty manner.
In this case, everyone can tell that something big is going to happen. And the wealthy families who had expressed their stance to Ma Su before heard the news and took action.
However, although they planned to invest in Ma Su, they still had no intention of investing their wealth and life in it. Some of the smart clans have already sent some of their clansmen to quietly report to Kansai.
Bet on both ends and you won’t lose anyway!
More than a thousand civil and military officials from Luoyang followed to Heyin with different thoughts.
Heyin is located near Beimang Mountain, on the bank of the Yellow River, and very close to Han Valley. Choosing this position, Ma Su's plan is self-evident.
On the banks of the Yellow River, thousands of Han soldiers in armor were arrayed in front. Ma Di personally put on his armor and stood in front of the formation, conducting a grand parade in Heyin.
The Luoyang officials who were watching on the side watched with their own eyes the well-equipped and disciplined Han soldiers participating in the military parade. Every move of the Han soldiers revealed their elite character, constantly refreshing their knowledge.
"No wonder the general can win every battle, from Longyou to Luoyang!" Some people who know military skills couldn't help but sigh when they saw this.
"With such elites, how can you care about a mere pseudo-Wei?"
However, as the military parade progressed, some people already noticed something was wrong.
Because they found that only Ma Su showed up here, and the so-called kidnapped prince did not show up at all. Moreover, some officers in the military parade inadvertently looked at them with something wrong in their eyes.
Thinking of Ma Su's previous reputation, some people from wealthy families already felt an ominous premonition.
Soon, their fears were realized. Because as the military parade ended, the soldiers who had been reviewed did not retreat, but gradually surrounded them!
At this point, Ma Su didn't intend to hide it anymore, and directly exposed his fangs that had been hidden for a long time!
He did intend to do something big, but unfortunately it was not for Chang'an, but for Luoyang. And the real prey among them is precisely the wealthy Luoyang family who thought they were sitting on the card table!
"What do they want to do!"
"What are these soldiers doing around us?"
"We are here to participate in the parade! What do you want to do?"
At this time, the surrounded officials also came to their senses. How could they not see what Ma Di was thinking. They all panicked, and many of them turned around and tried to leave, but were immediately forced back by the soldiers!
"You are a bunch of disloyal, unjust, unfilial and shameless villains! It's not enough to bring down the later Han people, but you are actually trying to harm the big Han people!"
At this time, Ma Su was strong and determined. He looked at these Luoyang officials without any emotion in his eyes and personally mentioned their ten deadly sins!
Finally, Ma Su personally announced,
"I, General of the Han Dynasty, will sentence you to death for treason!"
The Heyin Incident, which shocked the world, broke out!
