When Ma Chao heard that an angel had arrived, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurried out of the Taishou Mansion to greet him.

When I went out, I still came to an acquaintance, it was the birdman brother I saw in Dunhuang last time. Ma Chao hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Chao didn't know that the angels in the court were coming, and if he missed the distance, he asked the angels to forgive his sins!" ”

Xiao Huangmen smiled after hearing this, "This, Ma Taishou, no, it should be called Master Ma." Master Ma doesn't have to be like this, until after saying goodbye from Dunhuang, I don't know if Lord Ma is okay? ”

"Thanks to the angels, it's good, it's good, haha!" Ma Chao smiled, but the smile was a smile, outsiders saw it as a real smile, but he Ma Chao himself knew best, this was a fake smile.

Xiao Huangmen nodded, "That's good, that's good, when he came to Wancheng, Hou Ye also specially told our family, you must take him to say hello to Master Ma when you come to the place!" ”

"But Hou Ye Lao is worried, when the angel returns to Beijing, he must bring some local souvenirs back for Chao Hou Ye, of course, the angel's share. This is not a place to speak, please talk about it in the angel's house! ”

"Please!"

Xiao Huangmen naturally understood the meaning of Ma Chao's words, and he was very happy in his heart, so he knew that this time it was definitely a benefit.

After entering the Taishou Mansion, Xiaohuangmen read Liu Hong's holy decree to Ma Chao. In Liu Hong's holy decree, first of all, he praised Ma Chao well, and fortunately, Ma Chao and his two lives together have passed forty, otherwise he is really easy to be praised at his current age of sixteen or seventeen, and he can't even find the north.

Then Liu Hong gave Ma Chao a lot of rewards, but he didn't let the angel bring it. In Liu Hong's holy decree, he said that he would first deposit it with him, and then when Ma Chao returned to Luoyang, he would give it to him again. Of course, Ma Chao doesn't care about any rewards, if you want to say that the money he earns by cooperating with the Mi family now, it is too much.

After the decree was read, Ma Chao said: "The minister's decree is grateful!" ”

Then let Xiao Huangmen sit down, Ma Chao asked him: "Dare to ask the angel, I don't know what is the movement of this inner and outer now?" ”

What happened in the court Ma Chao naturally did not know the way, and the intelligence about the army to suppress the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, because he was not close to those places, he was also very late to know the way.

"Zhu Gongwei was newly defeated by the Yellow Turban Bocai, and he and Huangfu Yizhen retreated to the Changshe together. His Majesty sent Cao Cao and Cao Mengde to lead five thousand tiger troops to assist Changshe, and when our family came out, it was also the day when his army set off. ”

Ma Chao nodded, "Thank you angel for informing me!" ”

The little yellow doorknob waved, "Master Ma doesn't have to be polite, there is nothing else." But there are ......"

"The angel has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, and he listens to it!"

"Anyway, Master Ma has known Hou Ye and our family for a long time, so it doesn't hurt to say this! Because of the fact that Master Ma had previously incorporated the Yellow Turban, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee headed by Yuan Kui were quite complaining, but His Majesty did not say anything about this. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, his eyebrows raised and he understood. He also understood what was reflected in Xiao Huangmen's words, firstly, Yuan Kui and his group were very dissatisfied with their inclusion of the Yellow Turban, but Liu Hong didn't say anything, that is, he acquiesced, I believe that Zhang Rang should have helped him.

Ma Chao also knew that Yuan Kui's gang wished that the yellow scarves were all dead. As for Liu Hong, he naturally doesn't want to live as a thief. Since ancient times, rebellion has been intolerable to the monarch, and this is inevitable. However, Ma Chao felt that the court didn't think about it well, and wanted to rebel for what yellow scarves were. After the victory of the imperial court, it is impossible to kill all the yellow scarves, and his own approach is the same as Cao Cao's approach during the Three Kingdoms, in fact, isn't this very good, but unfortunately the imperial court still doesn't agree too much.

"Thank you so much for telling the truth!"

"Master Ma doesn't have to be polite about this, this is a trivial matter, not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about." Xiao Huangmen said with a smile.

In the evening, Ma Chao held a banquet to invite Xiaohuangmen, and Cui An and Chen Zhi naturally accompanied him at the banquet. By the next morning, Xiao Huangmen took his leave and left. Of course, before leaving, Ma Chao let him take away a lot of local products, and Xiao Huangmen saw good things, but he smiled.

Before leaving, Xiao Huangmen took out another holy decree from his arms, handed it to Ma Chao, and whispered to him: "This is a secret decree issued by His Majesty, and His Majesty specially instructed our family to hand it over to the adults when he left!" ”

When Ma Chao heard it, what kind of thing, there was a secret decree at this time? Speaking of this stuff, it's definitely not about anything good in general. The so-called secret purpose, in Ma Chao's impression, is unseemly, if you can see people, what kind of secret purpose can you talk about.

Ma Chao was a little anxious, he wanted to open it to see what Liu Hong wanted him to do, but he was stopped by the little yellow door, he saw that Ma Chao was in a hurry, "Angel, this ......"

"Master Ma, since it is a secret decree issued by His Majesty, and it has now been handed over to you by our family, why are you in a hurry at this time, it is not too late to wait for our family to leave!"

"What the angel said is even, this is the first time I have received a secret decree from His Majesty, Ha Luha, Chao is indeed a little anxious!"

"It's understandable, okay, Master Ma, our family is leaving!"

"Angel take care, take Chao to greet him when you see Hou Ye!"

"Don't worry, Master Ma, this matter will be handed over to our family!"

Xiao Huangmen said while thinking about the souvenirs he took away from Ma Chao, when he took it before, he felt that it was enough weight, and he beat the horse and left Wancheng in a happy mood.

After the little yellow door left, Ma Chao returned to Taishou Mansion, and after returning to the house, he quickly opened the secret decree that Liu Hong gave him.

Liu Hong asked Ma Chao to let Ma Chaobing go to Changshe, Ma Chao is actually the person who doesn't like war the most, but the king's order cannot be violated. Besides, this battle yellow scarf is indeed beneficial, as long as you can grasp it well, there is no problem.

And the appointment of the court has come down, until Chu Gong died, after the fall of Wancheng, Nanyang Taishou is gone. And Ma Chao has already recovered Wancheng, and Liu Hong ordered Qin Jie to be the Taishou of Nanyang, and now he is on his way to take office. Liu Hongmi said in his secret decree that as soon as Qin Jie arrived, Ma Chao could enter the Changshe, and Wancheng only needed to leave Qin Jie with 3,000 soldiers and enough grain and grass. As for the rest of Ma Chao, he doesn't have to worry about it, it's all Qin Jie's Nanyang Taishou, and Ma Chao only needs to set off with the rest of the soldiers.

Ma Chao looked at it and understood. Isn't it better to send troops to the long company, anyway, there is nothing to do on your side for the time being.

To say that Liu Hong has already sent Cao Cao to Changshe, why should he give Ma Chao such a secret decree. In fact, it is very simple, when Liu Hong heard that Zhu Jun had lost the battle, he immediately began to be worried again, and Zhang Rang recommended Cao Cao, he felt that Cao Cao was good, so he let Cao Cao go.

But then Liu Hong thought about it carefully, and felt that sending Cao Cao to Changshe was not enough insurance, thinking that the Yingchuan line had to be defended no matter what, no, he had to continue to send more people, so he thought of Ma Chao first. Zhilu said that after he defeated Zhang Mancheng, Ma Chao has never had any fighting, so let him go.

And let Qin Jie go to be Nanyang Taishou and hand over Nanyang to him, so that Ma Chao can naturally withdraw to the Changshe. In this way, Liu Hong didn't discuss with anyone, he drafted a secret decree, and handed it over to Xiao Huangmen after the most rejection, so that he could hand over the secret decree to Ma Chao when he left Wancheng.

Ma Chao found Chen Dao, "Lord! ”

"Uncle Zhi, sit down!"

"Thank you, lord!"

"Uncle Zhi, look at this!"

Ma Chao handed Liu Hong's secret decree to Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi unfolded it and took a look, "This, the subordinates will go and prepare for departure immediately!" ”

Ma Chao nodded, "I estimate that Qin Jie should arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and when he arrives, after we hand over, we will march into the Changshe!" ”

"No!"

"However, these three thousand people, this way, Shu Zhi, you select three thousand soldiers and horses with medium combat strength from the surrendered golden soldiers, and hand them over to Qin Jie at that time!"

It is impossible for Ma Chao to leave the more than 2,000 tiger troops brought from Luoyang to Qin Jie. But he also knew that Lu Dao couldn't give the Yellow Turban the worst combat power to others, so even if he was good, let Chen Dao choose the medium one for Qin Jie. As for how Chen Zhi chooses, that's his business, and Ma Chao feels that this little thing is absolutely difficult for him.

"No! The subordinates obey the order, the subordinates retire, and this is it! After Chen finished speaking, he retreated.

Sure enough, as Ma Chao expected, on the second day, Qin Jiezhen arrived in Wancheng, and Ma Chao, Cui An, and Chen personally welcomed him into the mansion.

"Qin Taishou, please!"

"Lord Ma, please!"

After everyone sat down in the living room of Taishou Mansion, Ma Chao said slowly: "Qin Taishou also knows His Majesty's will, so I have already prepared soldiers and enough food and grass for Taishou, and it is time for Chao to leave today!" ”

Ma Chao's will was naturally that Liu Hong asked him to leave three thousand soldiers and enough food and grass, and he received this will, and of course Qin Jie received it.

"Lord Ma is in such a hurry?"

"Yes, don't hide it from Taishou, as in normal times, Chao will definitely talk with Taishou about wine and talk at night. But now I have to leave early because of something important, please forgive me! ”

Although Qin Jie was appointed by the imperial court as the Taishou of Nanyang, he was the first day to come. And Ma Chao should have held a banquet to entertain others, but he was about to leave, which was indeed a bit rude.

Qin Jie is really not a person who cares about this, although he doesn't know Liu Hong's secret decree to Ma Chao, but when he looks at Ma Chao's appearance, he can feel that what he said is the truth, Ma Chao really has something important and has to leave earlier.

"It's understandable, if Master Ma has something, then leave as soon as possible, if there is anything you need to do, just open your mouth!"

"Thank you for being too guarded, but Chao has nothing to disturb, and Chao is leaving!"
