(Heartfelt thanks to the alliance for its support!) Thanks to Zhao Wuxian 2014 and UFGW for their frequent support. ）

According to the rules of the grassland, he handed over all the chariots and dozens of carts of makeup to Ma Han, and after apologizing to the Karasuma people, he took the remains of the seriously injured Han Juzi and nearly 100 soldiers and returned to Jizhou gloomily. In the Jizhou convoy, there is a box as important as the chariot, which contains the edict and golden seal of Yuan Shao conferring the title of Bandun Shan Yu in the name of the imperial court, in addition to the edicts of the kings of Karasuma such as Louban, Su Muyan, Wuting, and Nanlou. It's just that Gongsun Xu and Ma Han have been stirred up so much, and they are all yellow.

If the marriage fails, the alliance will lose an important fulcrum, and if Yuan Shao wants to form another alliance, he can, take another sect girl.

If the lead is to sigh and leave, then the Karasuma people are returning with a grudge. Karasuma King's side clan was robbed, which was a huge humiliation for both Bandun and Yanagijo Karasuma. If he is not ashamed for a day, his prestige will be difficult to recover for a day. And according to the rules of the grassland, even if you are the king of Karasuma, if you want to be ashamed, you can only challenge yourself or a designated warrior to challenge the robber, but the question is, who is he going to challenge?

Tracing back to the source, the real person who slaps his face and robs his relatives is Gongsun Xu of Youzhou, and he should challenge Gongsun Xu, but his side clan is not in the hands of Gongsun Xu. Ma Han is a thief, but he snatched it from Gongsun Xu, and it has nothing to do with Bandun. This has formed a situation in which the robber does not have a bride in his hand, and the person who has a bride in his hand is not the original robber, which is the most headache and embarrassment.

In this way, it turned out that the prestige of Bunton was dealt a heavy blow, but he could not be ashamed, unless he dared to run to Youbeiping County and challenge Gongsun Xu - of course this is impossible and meaningless. And for the horseman. He can only ask and negotiate, and strive to exchange an acceptable price for his own side clan and save his reputation.

Ma Han completed Lou Ban's entrustment with a simple move to grab relatives, which not only continued the original intention of the Youzhou side to destroy the Yuan clan and Karasuma Alliance, but also saved Yuan Shao's respect to some extent, and even suppressed the prestige of Bunton in Liucheng, and the other party was still holding back the fire and couldn't make it, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop. But all parties hate it in their hearts. On the surface, he had to admit his affection.

A white wolf valley road involves three forces, and the relationship of interests is complicated. Ma Han walked the tightrope in the middle, and fortunately, it didn't fall. It's just that some hidden dangers have been buried, and maybe at some point, they will erupt.

On the way back to White Wolf City, Ma Han recruited the deputy envoy to send his relatives, that is, the bride's uncle. One of Yuan Shao's brothers learned about the bride's situation from the other party.

Yuan Yuan, sixteen years old, the second daughter of Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Xi. was succeeded by Yuan Shao as his daughter and married Karasuma as a concubine. This time, starting from Yecheng, I traveled thousands of miles to Liucheng, just spending time on the road. Just over three months.

During the day and two nights from White Wolf Valley to White Wolf City, Yuan Yuan almost never showed up and remained silent. Or rather, resign yourself to fate.

When Ma Han returned to White Wolf City, before he had time to see what this Yuan clan daughter who had been robbed by all sides looked like, an urgent document from Liaodong was presented to him.

Ma Han had to gather the generals again, opened the document in public, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "It's Gongsun Envoy's personal letter." ”

When Ma Han finished reading the whole content, he knocked lightly on the case and was silent. Shao leaned, in the expectant eyes of the generals, he said slowly: "Gongsun envoy Jun urgently summoned me and the state envoy to Liaodong, and there will be a ship to Juehua Island to pick us up." The entourage must not exceed 100 people, and they must arrive before mid-March......"

"What? Arriving in a month? This...... It's so urgent! Tian Yu and other people who have been to Liaodong were surprised, it is now the middle of February, even if it is by sea, it will normally take more than a month and a half, and it will arrive within a month, too anxious, right? What exactly is the situation?

Ma Han handed out the discs and said: "The envoy Junyan Dao will open the straight road from Pingguo to the Yu clan for us, and at the same time provide a post station fast horse, and ask us to take out the speed of the wolf ride in Liaoxi, and we must arrive before March 20, I think something big will happen." ”

Gongsun Du summoned each other, and it was an urgent call, and there was no reason for manpower to resist (such as mourning, serious illness), it was irresistible, and Ma Han and Tian Yu, the two military and political leaders of White Wolf City, must arrive immediately within the specified time.

Time is pressing, but Ma Han did not follow Gongsun Du's baton, thinking of Gongsun Du's attitude towards White Wolf City in recent times, Ma Han must be prepared.

First of all, Ma Han gathered all the generals at or above the level of military marquis, including Tai Shici and Guan Hai, who had just returned from Wencheng, and assigned tasks and assigned responsibilities.

During the departure of the city guard and the white wolf chief, the government affairs were in charge of Lu Dai; Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were in charge of military affairs, with assistance from Xiahoulan and Lejin; Tang Nu and Wu Chai were each responsible for guarding the east and west gates of White Wolf City; The city guard and the security of the city are in charge of Zhou Cang; The newly formed Bohai Navy on Juehua Island was led by Tai Shici and Guan Hai.

The most crucial thing is to fully mobilize the "Eagle Eye" to establish a rapid communication channel with a radius of 300 miles. This secret channel was initially built at the end of October last year, and Ma Han personally led the Eagle Eye, with the cooperation of the Bohai Navy, to relay the message back and forth by sea, land and air for 600 miles, which took five hours. And the fast horse is 600 miles expedited, and in Liaoxi, where there are almost no decent post stations, it will take at least four days to run. Even Liaodong, Youzhou and other places with a perfect post station system have to run for three days. In contrast, the excellence of the letter eagle book is self-evident.

Xinying Feixun has achieved initial success, but if it is spread across the sea, it will be greatly affected by the climate at sea, which is a disadvantage in this regard. But overall, the pros far outweigh the cons.

Ma Han's plan is to use this aerial silhouette to quickly control the command headquarters remotely. Once necessary, even if he is hundreds of miles away from White Wolf City, he can command a large army and attack the target within a day.

When Ma Han had arranged all the matters, the generals were surprised to find that Ma Han had not arranged a marquis-level guard commander for himself and Tian Yu.

Before the generals could ask, Ma Han had already spoken: "This time, I won't bring too many servants with the national envoys, and each person will only bring ten." ”

"That's too little, isn't it?" Zhou Cang was the first to shout.

The generals also said that it was inappropriate, and thought that it was necessary to bring enough 100 people.

Ma Han raised his hand and pressed it, and the hall suddenly fell silent. Ma Han glanced around at the generals and said, "The last time I went to Liaodong, in order not to let Gongsun make the monarch look down on me, I brought enough hundred horsemen, and also showed the strength of my White Wolf City, and the purpose has been achieved." And this time is different from the previous time, today's Gongsun envoy Jun is more courageous, more prestigious, and more sent troops to Qingzhou to occupy Donglai. At this time, Gongsun could no longer tolerate our sharp edge in his eyes, so he must keep a low profile as much as possible when he goes this time. What's more, in other people's territory, what is the difference between a hundred people and ten people? ”

Ma Han's remarks are not speculation, but are supported by intelligence. Don't forget, he is in the Taishou Mansion of Xiangping City, but there is a super spy hidden in it. Over the past year or so, all aspects of information about Gongsun Du and Xiangping City have been continuously transmitted, and after being sorted out by Eagle Eye, there are two thick books. Among them, Gongsun Du's attitude towards White Wolf City is the top priority.

Zhen Qin took advantage of the openness of the people in Liaodong, and Gongsun Gong's own reasons, did not prohibit her from leaving the mansion, so he used his special identity to collect a lot of information in all aspects. After the preliminary collation of the Xiangping Intelligence Station, the valuable information was transmitted back to White Wolf City through the methods of Guò Xinying Transmission, Personnel Transmission, and Passenger Ship Transfer, and then the intelligence was filtered and sorted out and submitted to Ma Han through Eagle Eye.

Therefore, don't look at Ma Han's stay away from Xiangping for many years, but Xiangping City, including the Taishou Mansion, is clear about the big and small things that happened. Of course, there is a lag of several months in time, and poor timeliness is inevitable. However, Gongsun Du's attitude towards White Wolf City changed from admiration to doubt, and then from dissatisfaction to jealousy, and this process appeared as early as last year.

Ma Han is based on the intelligence and knows that this time is different from the previous one. The previous time was a high-profile reminder to some people that White Wolf City could not be bullied, but this time, in the face of Gongsun Du, who is gradually becoming stronger, and Gongsun Du, who dares to stretch out his hand across the sea to the Central Plains, it is better to be a quiet cavalry lieutenant and not force Gongsun to start early-because White Wolf City has not yet completed all the recruit training, and the trained soldiers lack actual combat experience. What can support the confidence of the horse warrior is only the white wolf who rides more than a thousand horses. In the end, I still don't have enough confidence.

In a word, White Wolf City is not ready, and when it is time to keep a low profile, try to keep a low profile.

After listening to the analysis of the city guard, the generals of the White Wolf City were silent for a while, and finally ended with Zhao Yun's solemn advice on behalf of the generals: "The city guard is careful and careful, if there is disharmony, take getting rid of it as the first priority, and the rest can be abandoned." ”

Ma Han nodded deeply: "Don't worry, Xiangping City is not a Longtan tiger's den in my eyes." ”

Early the next morning, Ma Han said goodbye to the daughters of Liji, Ganmei, and Niannu, and Ganmei also said something similar to Zhao Yun, "Go safely, you must return safely." ”

Li Ji glanced at Ma Han deeply and said, "When Lang Jun returns, Li Ji will tell Lang Jun a secret - perhaps, this secret will help Lang Jun get out of the current predicament." ”

Ma Han smiled: "Finally willing to say it?" Okay, I'll be back and you'll hear from you. ”

On the 17th of February, Ma Han, Tian Yu and the 20 White Wolf Horsemen, armed only with basic weapons and equipment such as bows and arrows, and light armor, left the White Wolf City and headed for Juehua Island, where a large passenger ship of 500 stone was already waiting. Waiting for them is still engaged in Zheng Gao.

Zheng Gao told sù horses, there is no need to take horses, after arriving at the Yu family, he has one person and three horses provided by the envoy, and he can quickly go to Xiangping.

Gongsun Du is really not in a hurry!

Ma Han glanced at Zheng Gao, and from the other party's expression, he seemed to know a little bit of the inside story. Well, the sea is long, and there is time to explore.

On February 20, Ma Han and Tian Yu left Juehua Island and officially embarked on the second journey to Liaodong.

What will happen to Ma Han this time? (To be continued......)
