Ma Teng frowned, waved his hand helplessly, and let Ma Lu go down.

At the banquet, the envoy knew that he would not gain anything from coming this time, so he could only prevaricate a few words, boast a few words of Ma Teng's advantages for Zhang Duan, and then retreated.

After the banquet was dismissed, Ma Teng called Ma Chao behind the screen in the back room of the main hall, and asked patiently and meticulously: "Meng Qi, you tell me the truth, how is your relationship with her after marriage?" ”

Although Ma Chao was invincible on the battlefield, in the face of his father's questioning at this time, he just shook his head innocently and said: "These days, Yunlu's health doesn't seem to be very good, so I don't care too much about her, just let her stay alone, relieve boredom, and recuperate." ”

Ma Teng frowned, nodded, and then poked his finger forward and nodded, and said: "I think she is a girl's family, I don't care what happened before, but since she entered the door of our Ma family, she should still abide by the women's way, you see that her personal servants are actually two men, so let's do it, after some time, let those two people take more money and go to Dunhuang to be responsible for business management, I will give them an official is, and then pick out a few young and sensible ones from your mother's personal maids, and send them to her." ”

Ma Chao swallowed his saliva and knelt down embarrassedly, "Father Xie cares." ”

"You are my eldest son, this is all as it should be, and tomorrow, you should take your new daughter-in-law to your uncle in Jincheng to pay a visit, and let him see her." Ma Teng suddenly remembered his righteous brother Han Sui who was still stationed in Jincheng, so he didn't forget to tell Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is very filial and listens to his father Ma Teng's words, but he should agree to everything Ma Teng explained to him.

Besides, Zhao Yue's Luan driver has been transferred to Luoyang, and Zhao Yue ordered Lu Ze and Xiao Tong Mengshi to quickly renovate the old palace with skilled craftsmen and soldiers in the army for Emperor Xian to live.

He himself lived on the side of the palace, only one city wall, in the Chang'a Palace.

As soon as he returned to the office, he couldn't take a break, so he summoned Chen Qun, and listened to him report what had happened in Luoyang during the time he left, and after confirming that there were no major natural or man-made disasters, he instructed Chen Qun: "Now that the emperor has returned to the eastern capital, everything needs to follow etiquette, and the previous laws and regulations can still be applied, and there is no need to change them. ”

Chen Qun retreated with the order and immediately set about it.

After completing this, Zhao Yue still had one more thing to do, that is, to organize the army as soon as possible, so that when Wang Kuang came to attack the city again, he could give him a strong counterattack.

Zhao Yue thought so in his heart, he was unwilling to rashly lead the army to crusade against the enemy when the emperor had just moved the capital and the internal situation in the court was unstable, in that case, he would give the political enemies in the court space and indulge them in all kinds of slander and impeachment against him.

Leaning back on the chair, Zhao Yue's hand slightly flipped through the booklet of the treasury in Luoyang, and below stood the Cao envoys and officials from various departments in the city. Despite this, his mind was not entirely focused on browsing and verifying these things, and his main focus was still on thinking about the idea he had just conceived.

After turning a page, Zhao Yue wanted to ask Yuan Shao to send troops to Hanoi County, forcing Wang Kuang to not care about each other, so that he could not spend a single soldier, and even only need to stay in the city without sending troops, and he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue closed the military book in his hand and shook his head.

Asked Yuan Shao for help before, he went to Hebei with Xiaotong Mengshi, and first found Pan Yu to discuss, but Jia Xu told him that after Zhao Yun's incident, Pan Yu was already equivalent to being beaten into the cold palace by Yuan Shao. asked Yuan Shao for help again this time, but I was afraid that Yuan Shao would reject him very decisively.

Moreover, Hanoi County also belongs to the Sili School Captain Department administratively, and it is even the only place in Hebei that has not been occupied by Yuan Shao, if Zhao Yue sent such a request to Yuan Shao this time, Yuan Shao agreed.

So afterwards, Zhao Yue owed Yuan Shao a big favor, not to mention, there was no place north of the Yellow River where Zhao Yue could easily settle down, and if he wanted to plot Hebei, he could only compete with the huge Yuan Shao forces.

On the contrary, if Zhao Yue personally took over Hanoi County this time, it would not only make his rule over Si Li more perfect, but also leave a stronghold on the north bank of the Yellow River for the future unification of Hebei.

"Alas......"

After thinking about it, Zhao Yue knew that this battle would undoubtedly be fought, he sighed slightly, and he no longer had the heart to look at the materials of the Luoyang Mansion.

On the other hand, Xu Chu and Cao Ren, who got rid of Zhao Yun, converged and led Cao Cao's 50,000 troops to Xuzhou City, poor Tao Qian had just died, his bones were not cold, and his son Tao Chang was afraid of Cao Cao's huge strength, and even did not resist, so he sent Xuzhou out and surrendered Kaicheng.

Seeing this, Cao Ren did not dare to act recklessly, and first sent someone to Cao Cao to report the news.

A few days later, Cao Cao's order arrived, allowing Tao Chang to go to Xuchang as an official, and the old land of Xuzhou was handed over to the general Zang Ba to garrison, assisted by Chen Deng, Chen Qi and his son.

Tao Chang and a Xuzhou official knelt on the ground and accepted the order.

That night, Tao Chang took a carriage to Xuchang. The road was safe, but when he reached the area of Yuzhou, a soldier wearing black clothes and carrying an arrow bag suddenly jumped out on the side of the road, and fired thousands of arrows at the carriage where Tao Chang was.

Arrows pierced the carriage and pierced it deeply, and at first I heard someone screaming in horror, and then I saw a lot of blood splattered on the paper windows of the carriage, and there was no other sound, and there was silence.

As for Liu Bei and his entourage who absconded from Xuzhou, they have come to the boundary of Luoyang after several rounds, looking at the magnificent Luoyang City in front of them, Liu Bei immediately sighed: "This Zhao Yue is really a talent for governing the world, I heard before that Dong Zhuo's atrocities have changed Luoyang beyond recognition, and when I see it today, it is even more prosperous than in the past." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and squinted his eyes slightly, although the situation was embarrassing, he still looked like an immortal, and said thoughtfully at this time: "Brother, brother heard that Emperor Xian moved back to Luoyang again, Zhao Yue, a courtier, can be regarded as a public expectation, and his reputation is outside. ”

Liu Bei nodded silently on the horse, but he was still worried about Zhao Yun's safety, but in Liu Bei's heart, he believed that Zhao Yun would not have an accident.

Everyone discussed it properly, and they were not ready to enter the city as officials, but planned to enter Luoyang as ordinary people first, and then find a tavern where they could stay to rest, and wait for Zhao Yun. (To be continued.) )
