Outside Luoyang City, summer should be a busy season for the people to farm, but now there is a military disaster, and the people either go to the city to take refuge or leave their hometowns, where are there still people to farm.

At the beginning of the second month of October, Mengjin Ferry welcomed a guest who had not been seen for a long time, and the whole of Luoyang had been waiting for him for too long.

The whole world waited for him for forty days.

……

In the last days, Ma Yue also suffered from the plague, and he vomited and diarrhea with fatigue, and all he vomited was black pus. Xu Huang was already seriously injured and had not recovered, and it was earlier than Ma Yue's illness. Zhao Jin's illness came too quickly and so quickly, and he died quietly on the sixth night of his fall, without a last word.

Of the 900 horsemen and infantry troops, only 13 people finally returned to Luoyang.

They were rescued by the monks led by Zhen Rong, all the way to the south by boat, in the Mengjin ferry, there were already doctors in the palace with the best medicine stone to hang their lives, only to return to Luoyang without danger.

By the time the horse recovered, it was already the end of October.

Dong Zhuojun led the army to win and lose each other on the front line, and Ma Yue took over the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Ma Yue understood.

Yuan Shu, the commander of the Qinwang army, played a super-high-level confrontation battle, and there were rules for arranging the troops, but the opponent he met was a general like Dong Zhuo, who was born in the old revolution, and in the process of changing the formation of the Qinwang army, a strange soldier of the Dong army attacked from the rear, cutting the enemy's formation into two sections, and killing the enemy for fifteen miles. The crisis in Luoyang was resolved by this big victory, and the battle line was once pushed south of Yin in Henan.

Luoyang, Fuguo Mansion.

"Brother Benchu, what do you mean when the hussar general invites you to come over? The highway was in chaos in Nanyang, and the division was in a mess, and you Yuan Mansion ...... Is it still possible to forgive? ”

Ma Yue sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, his face was still a little pale when he first recovered from a serious illness, and a pair of eyes were staring at Yuan Shao's face, trying to see that Jiuqing, who was born in a noble family, was uneasy in his heart. It's a pity that he only saw Yuan Shao's body shaking non-stop.

Yuan Shao is afraid?

Without waiting for Ma Yue to ask again, Yuan Shao had already bowed his hand and said: "Jun Hao Mingjian, since the beginning of the highway army, it has been eliminated from the genealogy, there is no such person in my Yuan family, how can the general condemn the Yuan family according to this, we are all dedicated to the court and the world." Thank you for your kindness. ”

Hearing Yuan Shao's humble words, Ma Yue did not speak.

His heart floated, and his thoughts flew to a few years ago with the yellow leaves falling from the sky, when he came to Luoyang as a poor and white soldier general, and Cao Cao introduced Yuan Shao to him, still with this handsome face. In the mountain knot outside the pavilion, he met Yuan Shao, the proud son of the sky, for the first time. That was Yuan Shao's expression was arrogant, and he didn't bother to know him at all.

There was no trace of joy at his arrival, and his eyes only stayed on him for a moment.

"Brother Benchu, do you remember when you first met? Now, you finally see me. Ma Yue's face was expressionless, and he waved his hand and said: "Brother Ben, please go back, I believe that you are unwilling to raise troops, otherwise with the prestige of Brother Ben, you will win the road." ”

Yuan Shao left the Fuguo Mansion in the slightest mood, but the humility on his face was gone, but with a worried look. Ma Yue was beating him, but Yuan Shao was sure that Ma Yue didn't know his plan yet.

Otherwise, there is no need to beat, according to Yuan Shao's understanding of Ma Yue, he would have set fire to Yuan's mansion earlier.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but shudder, his face was full of disdain, these Liangzhou people were more undignified than the other, and he was really afraid that these barbarians who didn't follow the rules would do terrible things.

His plan had to be ahead of schedule!

As soon as Yuan Shao returned to the mansion, he immediately found a few majestic men, sat down and said: "Ma Junhao has a great desire for power, and he will never let go of the Hussar Mansion to take power, but I am afraid that he will do something to the Hussar General." ”

"Then we will strike first and kill this fang!" Wei Wuzi Weng, who was sitting in front of Yuan Shao, said angrily, with a Yandi accent, "Can Liangzhou children still turn the sky upside down?" ”

"Wen Chou, if you assassinate Ma Yue, are you sure?" Yuan Shao frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate." ”

It is easy to assassinate, but Yuan Shao knows very well that Ma Yue is surrounded by all the fighting men who lick the blood from the knife edge, once he misses, there is no chance, not to mention, if a few warriors who have worked hard are folded in the Fuguo Mansion, it will be terrible.

Wen Chou clenched his fists and said: "Hui Gongzi, I don't dare to say that I am completely sure, I can only say that if I risk my life, I will kill Ma Yue!" ”

Yuan Shao has a long-term strategy, but he is short and profound, at this time, he can't help but miss Cao Cao who is far away in Xianbei's hometown, if Cao Cao is only here, where is it used for him to meditate here.

At this time, a scribe with a mustache beside him suddenly raised his hand and said, "Originally, since there is no certainty of killing, it is better to ...... Just a failed assassination. ”

"Ziyuan, what does this mean?" Yuan Shao asked puzzledly, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Xu You waved his hand and said: "At present, the southern army is all in the hands of the hussar general, but the southern army is stationed in the southern camp, if Luoyang changes, you only need to control the city gate and will not be allowed to enter." It is better to take this opportunity to transfer the southern army into the city, and then ...... It's a lot of use! ”

Yuan Shao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "What should I do?" ”

"Gongzi will visit Ma Yue tomorrow, stay in the house until the evening, and then the assassins will be exhausted, save Ma Yue at the beginning, win trust, and at the same time transfer the southern army into the city to protect the auxiliary general, hehe." Xu You said with a smile: "I can't tolerate him not being subservient!" ”

Yuan Shao also laughed, but his face stiffened, and he asked, "What if Ma Yue wants to divert water into the city?" ”

"Ma Yue categorically will not adjust the navy, please rest assured at this point." Xu You said: "The Changshui Army is the foundation of Ma Yue's life, and at the beginning, it only needs to explain that the four armies in Beiying are all under the control of the staff of the General's Mansion, and ask him to disarm and transfer personnel in the near future. ”

Xu You said mysteriously, Yuan Shao laughed a few times, patted Xu You's shoulder and said, "Come on, prepare wine and food, I want to drink with Brother Ziyuan!" ”

……

On the second day, Yuan Shao presented his name and went to Fushang to meet with Ma Yue that night.

"Brother Ben's views on the current situation are really unique. Haha, that's according to what my brother said, but I think that the rebels cannot be appeased, they must be defeated! If those who dare to raise troops to make rebellion are appeased, then the people who raise troops are endless, if they say that my horse is a thief, then I will leave Luoyang, then who is the next auxiliary government? If others think he is not suitable, will they also raise troops to serve the king? Speaking of which, this is the first time that the shogunate of General He set a precedent for private placement of the border army Qinwang! ”

Ma Yue's words made Yuan Shao's face hot, and he pretended to look like usual and said: "Alas, I don't know the kindness of the general's beheading, I thought that the general and the servant were the same thing, and I sometimes regret not being at the beginning. ”

For Yuan Shao, although he came here on pretense today, his heart was also shaken by the heartfelt words of Ma Yue's hospitality...... Ma Yue is not Dong Zhuo, he is sensible, understands etiquette, and is also passionate about the Han. If the two of them had been able to talk like this earlier, they might have been friends.

"Alas, if you had known the strategy of the first brother, you would never be an enemy of the first brother, and you should work together to create well-being for the people of the Han Dynasty." Ma Yue shook his head, drank a bowl of wine and said: "Brother Ben, let's make an analogy, take victory or defeat as a metaphor, if this battle is a big victory for the king army, what does Brother Ben think will happen to the world in the future?" ”

"If the king wins? Regardless of the Qin Wang Army, the four battalions of the Northern Army alone are all in the hands of those soldiers who oppose the general, if it weren't for the effective pressure of Yan Xing, the captain of Changshui, I am afraid that the camp would have been bombed long ago...... General be careful! Yuan Shao was about to answer, suddenly saw a figure flashing through the window in the room, and immediately knocked Ma Yue down, at the same time, several arrows broke through the air, into the nail into the room, and then the courtyard sounded the sound of fighting, Ma Yue settled down, and hurriedly bowed with Yuan Shao into the side room to avoid, the shouts outside the house continued, which was mixed with the wail of someone injured and fell to the ground, Ma Yue took the ring knife from the side room out of the sheath, waiting for the assassin to enter.

Looking back at Yuan Shao, he saw that he had been hit by an arrow in the arm, and the blood had dyed his robe red, Ma Yue hurriedly asked, "How is Brother Benchu?" ”

"It's out of the way, the minor injury doesn't hurt the muscles and bones." Yuan Shao's head was dripping with sweat, clenching his teeth but still fighting with a light and light appearance, looking at the arrows scattered all over the hall, he had already scolded Xu Ziyuan in his heart.

"Don't be impatient at the beginning, wait for the assassin to be captured, and discuss an explanation for the beginning!"

After a moment, the sound of swords outside was quiet, and Yang Aruo pushed the door in and said, "How is the general?" ”

Ma Yue waved his hand and said, "It's okay, do you know who sent the assassin?" ”

"The subordinates are interrogating, please wait a minute, general." As soon as Yang Feng turned around, a soldier stepped forward and whispered for a moment, Yang Feng glanced up at Yuan Shao, and said to Ma Yue: "General, the assassin said that he was bought by Xu You and Xu Ziyuan. ”

While speaking, Yang Feng had already stood in the middle of Ma Yue and Yuan Shao, holding the Zhongxing Sword in his hand and dripping blood downward, and a pair of beautiful eyes were staring at Yuan Shao.

"Xu ...... Ziyuan! Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said this, while holding his injured arm tightly, and said: "General, Xu Ziyuan went to my house yesterday to chat, and I said that the general had no intention of angering the Yuan family, and planned to visit the door today, but he didn't want to do this...... Suck! Yuan Shao gasped and said: "But I don't want this Xu You to ignore his years of affection, vainly trying to assassinate the general, vainly trying to assassinate the subordinates!" ”

Saying that, Yuan Shao's tears are about to come out, this arm really hurts!

Ma Yue waved his hand and ordered Yang Feng to retreat, frowning and pacing in the hall, Yuan Shao endured the pain and said: "General, since Xu You, the remnant of the shogunate, has already made a move, the general needs to hunt him down as soon as possible, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy, and at the same time send the southern army into the city to defend the general, not only to defend the auxiliary country's mansion, but also to strictly prevent the mutiny of the four battalions of the northern army, please decide!" ”
