"Don't dare!"

Xiang Ao looked at the group of civil and military generals who had all crawled to the ground in the tent, and his face was a little fierce. In the entire tent, only Jia Xu was standing.

Jia Xu slowly came to Xiang Ao's side and said to Xiang Ao: "The lord's actions in recent years, the ministers have seen it in their eyes, and naturally believe that the lord is a Han person. ”

Xiang Ao looked at Jia Xu, and when he saw Jia Xu glaring at him, Xiang Ao nodded suddenly.

"Get up!" Xiang Ao put away his anger and said lightly, his eyes kept moving in the crowd.

"Wen He, it seems that how to deal with Cao Cao's treacherous plan at this time?"

Jia Xu lowered his head, also looked at the strategists and soldiers with different expressions in the tent, and said slowly: "Cao Cao is heartbroken, the lord has to explain to the people of the world, especially the people under the lord's command. ”

"Be specific."

Jia Xu said yes and continued: "Gather the defense and march north to Xianbei." ”

Cao Cao did this, but he wanted to rebel against the family under the lord's command and let the lord have civil strife. The lord's first priority now is to hold on to his original territory and take precautions against civil strife that may arise at any time. ”

"While dealing with the civil strife, the lord went north to conquer Xianbei and told the world with his actions whether the lord was Han or not."

Jia Xu said, Xiang Ao frowned. After a moment of thought, he continued to ask, "How to shrink?" ”

"Cao Cao did this because Cao Cao himself was temporarily unable to face the lord alone." Jia Xu came to the front of Yutu and said in a deep voice: "Give up Luoyang, give up Hongnong!" Hold the area from Qinling to Tongguan, and then rely on the natural danger of the Yellow River to resist Liu Bei and Cao Cao north of the Yellow River. ”

"Luoyang is the heart of the world, whether it is obtained by Cao Cao or taken by Liu Bei, there will be a battle between the two sides."

"When Cao Cao and Liu Bei are at a stalemate in Henan, they will send troops to the north."

"Give up Luoyang?" Xiang Ao looked reluctant.

In the past, Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, and after Lu Bu and Xiang Ao, it was not easy to repair Luoyang, but he had to give it to Cao Cao, Xiang Ao was really unwilling in his heart.

"How many people are there in Henan and Hongnong?"

"Your Lord!" Henan Yin Jiangyan stepped forward and said loudly: "The lord has governed well, and now the people of Henan and Hongnong have returned to prosperity, and the people have exceeded one million. ”

"Lord, when it is decided, it will be decided, don't hesitate!" Xi Zhong took a step forward and bowed deeply: "The families of various states have to guard against it. ”

Xiang Ao looked at Xi Zhong, then at Jia Xu, and took a deep breath.

"Herald the Prime Minister's Mansion Hu Zhao, Imperial Historian Jiang Lu; Strictly inspect officials in various places. ”

"No!" Dian Wei received the order, looked at the soldiers in the tent fiercely, and hurriedly left the tent.

"Xiang Ping takes the order!"

"Father!"

"Moved Xiang Ping to the lieutenant of the division, and moved the division to Huai County, Hebei. Led the southern army of Yanguo, and in the shortest time, moved the people of Luoyang and Hongnong to the rest of the counties of Sili. ”

When Xiang Ping heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he lowered his head, his face a little fierce. Xiang Ao arranged it like this, and Xiang Ping instantly understood. Xiang Ao asked Xiang Ping to hold the southern front, he must have more plans, I am afraid that it is not just to cut off the dissidents within the force.

"Erchen takes orders!"

"Ordered Zhao Yun, the general of the expedition to the west, to withdraw the army from Wudu County, Chen Bing scattered Guan, Qishan, and westward into Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County. Moved Zhao Yun to be the pastor of Liangzhou, and guarded Xiliang for the king. ”

"Moved Jizhou Assassin Shi Gaoshun as the general of Zhendong, and led the Eastern Army to garrison Qingzhou Plain County."

"Moved Hanoi Taishou Zhang He to be the captain of the colonel, and returned to Yecheng with the king, assisting the left and right prime ministers, and investigating the family."

"Moved and merged the state assassin Li Jin as the Taishou of Hanoi, and also served as the imperial doctor to assist Xiang Ping."

After Xiang Ao's military order was issued, he looked at the soldiers in the tent with an indifferent expression, and said slowly: "The rest of the generals, return to Yecheng with this king, and then listen to the appointment." ”

"Honorable Order!"

A few days later, Xiang Ao hurried back to Yecheng with a group of generals.

The prestige of the Bingzhou and Youzhou families was almost overturned by Xiang Ao, and most of the families even had to rely on Xiang Ao to survive. At the beginning, in order to be able to unify Jizhou as soon as possible, so that Xiang Ao did not eradicate the roots of the Jizhou family, and now Cao Cao's plan to punish his heart, Xiang Ao is most worried about Jizhou.

After returning to Yecheng, Xiang Ao immediately sent Jia Xu to Bingzhou to the party.

The Shangdang is now the most important place among Xiang Ao's forces, except for the Kaihetao Plain and the political center of Yecheng. Shangdang is in a dangerous terrain and is almost surrounded by mountains, and Xiang Ao has placed all the most important industrial bases in his power in Shangdang.

Shangdang not only has the Ministry of Industry in charge of Ma Jun, but also the university that cultivates talents in Yanguo; There is also a secret guard training base controlled by Jia Xu, as well as family members loyal to Xiang Ao's generals. Almost all of the military equipment in the entire Yan country was produced by the Shangdang.

For the people who moved into the party, Xiang Ao went through a lot of screening to prevent careful work from getting in. It is none other than Xiang Aofa's wife Cai Yan who governs the party.

There are many waters in the Shangdang, and under Ma Jun's transformation, countless fertile fields have been reclaimed. Although it could not produce enough to feed millions of people in the Hetao Plain, it could make two million people in the Shangdang self-sufficient.

That's right, it's two million, and the population is more than the richest counties in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Among the upper party, there are Han people, Hu people, Qiang people, and Xianbei people, but now, there is only one title, that is the Yanguo people. The people in Shangdang County are also the people under Xiang Ao's command, who revere Xiang Ao the most, and many people even regard Xiang Ao as a god.

The military of Shangdang County is also the most terrifying, with a full eight battalions of 40,000 troops, all of which are comparable to the warriors of the Feather Killing Battalion under Xiang Ao. Not only that, but the armor used is also the latest product of Ma Jun's invention.

Jia Xu looked at the prosperous Shangdang, and only had infinite admiration for Xiang Ao in his heart. Jia Xu was sent back to the party by Xiang Ao, not just to appreciate it, but to immediately start the detailed work that might appear in the party.

Although Xiang Ao and Jia Xu didn't think that someone might infiltrate the party, they were still cautious.

"Lord Sake."

"It's hard work."

Today's Ma Jun looks really distressing, not to mention that his clothes are not neat, his hair is scattered, and he still has a full beard.

On weekdays, Ma Jun spends most of his time in the Ministry of Industry, concentrating on research and development, and as for his private life, he basically doesn't think much about it. If it weren't for Xiang Ao's mandatory order, the people in the Ministry of Industry would have to take two days off every seven days. In such a stable environment, I am afraid that Ma Jun has already led the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and gone crazy.

"The minister has received a letter from the lord, and he has been waiting for the priest for a long time."

Jia Xu nodded and said solemnly: "Does Lord Gongcheng know the current situation?" ”

Ma Jun nodded with a calm face: "The news from the outside world has come, but don't worry, Jun has sent someone to check the entire Shangdang, and the people of Shangdang do not have the slightest intention of rebellion." ”

"That's it!" Jia Xu nodded with some surprise, he didn't expect that the R&D madman would actually pay attention to such a thing.

"How is the mistress?"

When Ma Jun heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly: "The housemother is okay, there is nothing else after dealing with the affairs of the party and the Ministry of Industry every day." But the mistress's personal guard, Miss Xiaoya, can..."

"Little girl?" Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and the woman who followed the master's mother at any time appeared in his head.

"What's wrong with General Xiaoya?"

"General Xiaoya is active by nature, and it was okay in the past, recruiting women to join the army every day, and the drill is just that."

"But after the rumor that the lord was not Han a few days ago, General Xiaoya launched 10,000 guards who had been trained for many years, looking for suspicious people everywhere in the entire Shangdang."

Ma Jun continued with a bitter face: "Although it is a good intention, it still scares many people. ”

"The master mother didn't care?"

"Never."

Seeing Ma Jun shaking his head, Jia Xu was a little surprised. In Jia Xu's impression, the housemother Cai Yan is the style of the queen mother, how can she be arrogant to others.

"This matter will be admonished to the master's mother, and the horse worker does not need to worry." Jia Xu chuckled and said, "This time, one is to supervise the party, just in case." ”

"Second... The Northern Army was about to march north to Xianbei, and the lord had an order to order Ma Gongcheng to mobilize reserves of grain, grass and armor and send them to the foot of Danhan Mountain as soon as possible. ”

"Command!" Ma Jun bowed deeply, solemnly received the order, and then straightened up and said: "You can handle the affairs with confidence, and when Jun is ready, inform Prime Minister Hu Cheng, and immediately send someone to Danhan Mountain." ”

More than ten days later, in the astonished eyes of the people of the world, the Yan army took the initiative to retreat to the north of the Yellow River after relocating all the people of Henan and Hongnong, which surprised the people of the world.

The more this is the case, the more the people of the world begin to doubt that the rumor that Xiang Ao is not a Han is true. Especially for the people in the south, Xiang Ao's life experience of not knowing the origin, various versions began to spread.

Sure enough, as Jia Xu expected, after Xiang Ao's army withdrew from Hongnong, Henan, Liu Bei and Cao Cao confronted each other around Luoyang City.

may know that the current enemy is Xiang Ao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not take the initiative to occupy Luoyang, but were stationed on the east and west sides of Luoyang, and ruled Luoyang.

The two armies that were originally going to practice Xiang Ao restrained each other, and they didn't dare to make too big a move for the time being. Cao Cao passed on the world and crusaded against Xiang Ao, just because he wanted Xiang Ao to stop the army. Now that Xiang Ao has withdrawn from the army and Guandu has calmed down, Cao Cao naturally will not take the initiative to cause trouble and begin to reorganize his forces.

For some reason, after Xiang Ao withdrew his troops, Guo Jia did not die of serious illness. Even contrary to the fate of the previous life, the body became more and more healthy.

Sima Yi, Tai Shici and others, under Xiang Ao's edict, also returned to Yecheng.

In addition to Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, the two generals, who were stationed on the border of Yanguo in the east and west, Yecheng at this time gathered almost all the important ministers of Yanguo to discuss countermeasures.

However, for Xiang Ao, it is not so much to discuss countermeasures, but rather to try to identify the loyalty of his generals.

Above the court, there are not only generals who followed Xiang Ao to fight in the north, but also many ministers who are representatives of the family.

"Do you have any suggestions, crusade against Cao Cao, or crusade against Liu Bei?"

Looking at Xiang Ao, who looked calm on the top of the main hall, the officials of the Yan Kingdom under the main hall had different expressions. There are apprehensions, there are flickering expressions, and naturally there are people who will follow Xiang Ao regardless of whether he is Han or not.

Xi Zhong, Tian Feng and others already knew Xiang Ao's Northern Expedition plan, and they understood what Xiang Ao was returning to Yecheng for this time, so they bowed their heads and remained silent, waiting for the reaction of the rest.

"Flame King! Can you give me some explanation? ”

With a righteous voice, the silent hall was broken.
