~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ma Han was on his way back from His Royal Highness Chongde to his home when he received the results of the Beihai Battle from Eagle Eye.

Yuan Tan was defeated in this battle. The Guanting camp was gone, the baggage was lost, and the grain alone was lost 50,000 Hu, which was equivalent to returning all the grain exchange dividends handed over to Yuan Shao by Ma Han. The loss of troops was even more miserable, 7,000 troops, Guan Ting folded 2,000, Duchang City folded nearly 1,000, and more than 1,000 in the battle to seize the bridge, and an army lost more than half, even if it was disabled. But the matter is not over, because the retreat route was cut off, Yuan Tan could not return to Qingzhou directly, and the remnants were sandwiched by the Donglai Army and the Northern Navy in the narrow strip between the east bank of the irrigation and Duchang......

Under the dilemma, Yuan Tan adopted Huayan's strategy and asked Kong Rong for peace.

A few days ago, a strong enemy who couldn't raise his head finally bowed his head, and everyone in and down the North Sea raised their eyebrows. However, there were many calm people among them, and Wang Xiu cautiously agreed to this, and at the same time Jian yì closely monitored Yuan Jun. But Kong Rong had other plans, he didn't have Wang Xiu's intention to force Yuan Jun to surrender, let alone Tai Shici's idea of capturing Yuan Tan alive, he just wanted to send the plague god.

Yuan Tanzheng grasped Kong Rong's thoughts, and three days later, he concentrated 200 elite followers, broke through the Hanting defense line south of Duchang, fled into the remaining veins of Laoshan Mountain, and went to drill the ravine. The remaining 700 or so pawns who were bait all surrendered to the North Sea.

When Ma Han received the news of the results of the battle, Yuan Tan had just drilled out of the ravine, made a detour to Yanzhou, and returned to the plain. This will make him have little left except for Su You, Hua Yan, Kong Shun and other henchmen. Everyone has unkempt hair, a vegetable face, and incomplete nails. So much so that when the newly arrived Qingzhou Beijia Guo Tu saw them, he almost thought that the Yellow Turban Thief had gone out of the mountain again......

"Kill Lu Kuang, capture Wenda alive, clear the management system, Ziyi, Shengde, and Dinggong did a good job, and Donglai will have no worries since then." Ma Han looked at it, and casually transferred the information to Jia Xu and Guo Jia beside him.

Guo Jia was dressed in white, with a handsome face, as gentle as a virgin, and was sitting idly on the Shi Yi car equipped by the imperial court for officials. While looking at the information, he tapped Che Xuan with his white and slender five fingers, thoughtfully.

After a while, Guo Jia knocked on Xuanxuan's hand, suddenly slapped it heavily, and said: "There is a lot to do in this battle, General Pingdong is not busy withdrawing from Le'an Country." The lord can not send a messenger to Yecheng. ”

Ma Han was slightly stunned: "Do you want to be happy with Anguo?" General Yuan is afraid that he will not agree, and there is a North Sea in the middle, which seems to be useless. ”

Jia Xu twisted his beard and smiled: "The meaning of filial piety." It's not about Le'an, it's about Yan County. ”

Ma Han came to his senses, struck the saddle with a whip, and said happily: "Good idea! Exchange Yan County for Le'an. Well, if it's not enough, you can add a Venda. ”

Yan County is on the south bank of the Yellow River, across the river from Yuan Shao's Liyang camp. It originally belonged to the forces of Cao Cao in Yanzhou. Later, due to Lu Bu's seizure of Yanzhou, all the counties rebelled, and Yan County was close to Jizhou's forces. Then he voted for Yuan. Later, Cao Cao took Lü Bu out of Yanzhou and recovered most of the counties, because of the relationship with Yuan Shao's alliance and the need for strong support from Jizhou at this time, it was inconvenient to have a dislike for a Yan County, so he acquiesced in Yuan's occupation of Yan County.

Yan County is just one more county for the Yuan family, there is not much of it, there is not a lot of it, but it is of great significance to Ma Han and Cao Cao.

Every time Ma Han transported grain from Liyang, the grain ship was exposed to the soldiers of the White Horse Battalion stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River by the Cao army. If Yanxian starts, the grain ships will operate completely in their own sphere of influence, and they will end up safe.

Yan County is very close to Puyang, the former Yanzhou Governor's Office, but more than 200 miles, if it is more than half a year earlier, Cao Cao will definitely not be happy, and he will definitely make a hindrance from it. However, since Cao Cao seized Yuzhou, the center of gravity has shifted to the south, and the base camp has been transferred to Chenliu, and the importance of Yanxian County has decreased a lot.

"Let Dong Gongren handle this matter." Ma Han used Dong Zhao as a messenger, anyway, he hung the name of the court councilor, and Yu Lu still sent it by himself, so he didn't need to use it in vain.

Before arriving at the Hussar General's Mansion in Deyongheli, Jia Xu and Guo Jia said goodbye and returned to their respective homes. ”

Ma Han nodded, these two groups of people are finally gone.

In fact, neither Xun Yan, who represented Cao Cao, nor Sun Qian, who represented Liu Bei, had no intention of leaving so soon. Xun Yan wanted to get Cao Ang back, otherwise it would be really difficult to make a difference, but he stayed in Luoyang for more than two months, except for only seeing Cao Ang twice, he didn't have the slightest chance.

Sun Qian asked for the honorific title of General Anton for his lord, which was the honorific title of the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, with this honorific title, Liu Bei had great righteousness in Xuzhou. However, in order to truly rule Xuzhou in a proper manner, it is necessary to have a formal appointment from the imperial court. Sun Gan had two important responsibilities on this trip, one of which was to ask the imperial court to appoint the lord as the pastor of Xuzhou; The second is to return the lord to the royal family, but both of these have encountered resistance. The former is a hussar general, and the latter is a suspicion of the Son of Heaven.

For the latter item, Sun Qian originally didn't have much hope, it was best for the lord to run this matter personally, otherwise it would be difficult to do. His trip is to make a foundation for the Lord when he justifies his name in the future. But Sun Qian was very angry about the obstruction of the former item. According to the practice of the late Han Dynasty, at present, the sages of Xuzhou are mainly lords, and the imperial court should recognize the fait accompli.

Ma Han didn't explain this, just one word: drag.

He knew that soon reality would give Sun Qian a powerful explanation.

Sure enough, at the end of August, the news came that Lu Bu, who was stationed in Xiaopei, took advantage of the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu in Guangling, united with the Cao brothers of Pi Haoqiang and Liu Bei's general Xu Tan to launch a rebellion, defeated Zhang Fei who stayed behind, captured Liu Bei's wife and daughter, and occupied Xuzhou.

This thunderbolt on a sunny day suddenly plunged the Xuzhou envoy group into chaos, where could Sun Qian sit still, and asked the Son of Heaven to resign as soon as possible.

Mi Fang, who learned the news, immediately visited the hussar general, and the first thing he said when he saw Ma Han was straight to the point: "Little sister will ask the general to take care of it." ”

At this time, Mi Fang was very pleased with her brothers' wise decision to send their little sister to Luoyang, which was the wisest "investment" of their brothers.

Ma Han let out a long breath, did Lu Bu finally do it? The flowing water in Xuzhou is even more muddy, but it is not muddy enough for him to get into the "water". Keep watching the show.

As soon as the Xuzhou envoy group left, the Yanzhou envoy group was also in a hurry to rush back - a major event also happened in Yanzhou, and Li Quan, the Qingzhou assassin sealed by Cao Cao, died suddenly after an old injury. Li Dian was shocked to hear the bad news, and he only had time to ask someone to tell Ma Han and immediately rushed back.

The escort team left, and Xun Yan naturally couldn't stay any longer, so he could only return to Yanzhou first and then make plans.

That's all good news! Standing in the position of a friend, Ma Han regretted Li Quan's death. But from the perspective of his own interests, Li Dian succeeding his brother is definitely good news. As for the Xuzhou Rebellion, it seems to be good, Lu Bu seized Xuzhou, it is much better than letting Liu Bei gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

Ma Han was in a happy mood, and as soon as he stepped into the mansion gate, he found that it was a little unusual - in front of the palace gate square, there was a car with exquisite workmanship and lacquered vermilion gilt. This car is not famous to outsiders. But Ma Han recognized it at a glance that this was one of the three luxury cars designed by Ma Jun himself. Not to mention the complete functions in the car, the four compartments (tops) are made of iron plates, and the safety performance is extremely high.

The three luxury cars are one for the Son of Heaven, one for the princess, and one for the princess. One for the Queen.

The princess's car won't stop in the square where the guests use, Son of Heaven...... As soon as he came down from the court, the Son of Heaven would not do anything more, and sneaked to the General's Mansion without saying hello. The answer is imminent.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the atrium. A waiter came to report: "The queen is here, and the princess and the ladies are accompanying each other in the main hall of the inner courtyard." ”

Whether as a hussar general or as a man, it is not advisable for a horse warrior to go to see the queen, on the contrary, he should avoid it, but it is necessary to make people confess.

Just as Ma Han was about to cross the atrium and return to his apartment, he saw a group of female officials holding various fans, ruyi, wang gai and other guide honor guards at the bend of the outline in front of him.

Such a coincidence? Ma Han was thinking about whether to avoid it, and a shadow flashed not far away, and the sixteen-year-old queen appeared in front of him.

It's hard to avoid this horse, so he stood respectfully under the silhouette, and glanced at the queen. Well, the dress is plain white, without the joy of being promoted to the throne, and the beautiful face is also a look of joy and happiness.

Isn't it, it's only been a few months since she became a queen...... But it's not like that, carefully finger it, this Tianzi and the queen have really been together for more than six years, as if some "seven-year itch" is coming......

Suddenly, the queen's psychological element zhì obviously can't be compared with Ma Han, and she is slightly flustered. When Ma bowed and saluted, the queen's eyelids drooped, and she said softly: "Ma Qing doesn't need to be polite, the palace is disturbed." ”

Ma Han wanted to say, "The princess is also idle, and she should move back and forth more." But this kind of thing is always a little wrong for the queen, and finally comes a sentence, "Excuse me, it's okay." ”

The queen bit her lip and hurried away, and the female palace members held back their laughter one by one, and walked quickly past the horse while saluting.

It seemed that he was really not used to dealing with a woman who was above him, and Ma Han shook his head as he walked into the inner courtyard. After a while, a maid came over and said that the princess had been invited.

When Ma Han came over, he only saw Princess Wannian sitting alone, and there was no one else. As soon as she saw Ma Han, Princess Wannian said directly: "Your Majesty has been cultivating immortal art recently, do you know?" ”

Ma was stunned, and quickly reacted: "You mean...... Monasticism? ”

Princess Wannian nodded lightly with a worried face.

Ma Han was speechless. Don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods, the emperor and the immortals, stretching for thousands of years. Starting from the first emperor of China, in every dynasty and generation, there are always a few emperors who are keen to ask for immortals. The four representatives of the Chinese emperors: Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Emperor and Song Zu, were also the general representatives of the Emperor of the Immortals. Even the four great emperors in the traditional sense of wisdom and martial arts can't escape this strange circle, how can ordinary emperors be exempt from vulgarity?

It's just that all the emperors of the people only asked for immortals when they were middle-aged and elderly, and asked, it's too early for you, a young emperor, to start playing this game now, right?

Princess Wannian pushed the palm-sized brocade box in front of her knee and motioned for Ma Han to open it.

The brocade box opened, fragrant and filled with a finger-sized, crystal red pill.

Princess Wannian said softly: "This is the first Ding Immortal Pill refined by that Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhang Immortal for His Majesty......"

He didn't speak, but the princess knew what she meant, and nodded slightly. The husband and wife did not say the word "queen", but they have a tacit understanding all year round and understand each other.

The princess of Wannian looked pleading: "My husband has seen and heard a lot, please identify it, can this elixir be entered?" ”

The "elixir" looks bright, round and silky, and also exudes a strange fragrance, which is very good. But this point can't confuse Ma Han at all - the kind of seafood that has been fumigated with sulfur in later generations, isn't it just as good?

Ma Han doesn't know much about alchemy, but at least common sense knows that alchemy is indispensable for two things: lead and mercury, both of which are heavy metals that cause chronic damage to the body.

Ma Han silently handed back the "elixir" to the princess, and sighed lightly: "Persuade him, it's best not to eat it if you can." Although he was hard to be the emperor, he finally survived, didn't he still have to be the master of Zhongxing? What's more, the gods are ethereal, how can they be like the sons of heaven in the world? ”

Since ancient times, if the emperor insists on cultivating immortals, it seems that no minister can persuade him, and Ma Han can only do this.

It's just that whether it is a princess or a horseman, I didn't expect that the young son of heaven just wanted to enjoy the blessings of the world, and it was really not for cultivating immortals! (To be continued......)
