~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liaodong Hou Mansion, in fact, is Liaodong Taishou Mansion, but it has changed a plaque, and the place is still that place.
Ma Han was called, of course, not to carry weapons, but in fact, his most powerful weapons were always "with him", so he was never afraid to risk alone. Coming to the Hou Mansion to discuss matters, of course, is not dangerous, so "bare hands" is also fearless.
When Ma Han came to the Hou Mansion, there was still half a quarter from the first moment of the time, and the waiter led him into the main hall, and after he sat down, he saw the copper carving leak on the hall, which just showed the first moment of the time. Ma Han expressed satisfaction with the accuracy of his pinching, but he was very unhappy with the delay of the other cavalry captains and lieutenants, if it were his own, no matter how much he worried about the stability of the situation, he must be punished, otherwise it would be difficult to establish authority.
The main hall is quiet, and there are 36 thick butter candles on each wall, reflecting the empty lobby vividly. Thinking of the lively scene here the day before yesterday, and comparing it with the deserted at this time, it is touching.
The grains of sand are falling in a row, and the copper carvings are also moving a little bit, but there is no one on the main hall. Gongsun Du was nowhere to be seen, and the captains and captains did not come.
Ma Han stood up slowly—he wasn't a man who couldn't hold his breath, but something was really wrong right now, and he didn't want to sit and wait.
But just as Ma Han stood up, a group of armor soldiers suddenly poured out of the ear chambers on both sides of the hall, with neat steps, all wearing hats, shining leather armor, and iron halberds - eighteen people on the left and right, a total of thirty-six halberd-wielding armor soldiers, who were the honor guards of Gongsun Du seen the day before.
Gongsun Du appeared.
This Liaodong Marquis is still the same outfit with a flat crown and a yellow robe with a jade belt earlier. It seems that I am addicted to wearing it, and I am reluctant to take it off.
Gongsun Du slowly climbed the steps, kneeling upright and sitting on the yellow silk brocade seat, dressed in princely attire, with his dignified appearance, majestic body, and really a bit of majestic princely appearance.
Ma Han sat down again, held the ground with both hands, and bowed to Gongsun Duji: "Liaodong Riding Captain, leading Liaoxi White Wolf City to guard Ma Hu, knocking to see the state pastor." ”
Gongsun Du was quite satisfied with Ma Han's ceremony. But he didn't call him "lord", frowned slightly, then stretched his brows, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I just discussed with Lelang, Xuansu, Yingzhou Prefecture and County Captains and School Captains, so it was too late, and I was shocked for a long time." ”
Ma Han was stunned: "Aren't you discussing things together?" ”
Gongsun Du was surprised and said, "Did the envoy sent by the lonely one say to the dragon that they were discussing matters together?" ”
Ma Han was speechless, of course the person who delivered the message didn't say so, but who would have thought that the captains and captains of the prefectures and counties would be summoned. It was actually a separate meeting...... It doesn't matter if it's one-on-one, just with the momentum of your grandson Du, you can't suppress me.
"In recent years, the white wolf, Wencheng, and Guangcheng have become popular. It has met the standards of the upper county, and accordingly, it is planned to reopen the three counties. And the dragon has merit in expanding the soil, and it can be guarded by Liaoxi. ”
Gongsun Du spoke. It's just a big pie.
Gongsun Du wanted to promote himself to the Taishou of Liaoxi, which was expected by Ma Han, no matter in terms of strength, merit and popularity. It is most logical to promote himself to the position of Liaoxi Taishou. So Ma Han quickly reacted: "Thank you for the grace of the state pastor, you have a building." ”
"It's okay to say it."
"I think that Yangle is located between Liucheng and Liaodong vassal countries, the land is narrow and there are few people, the front wolf is the tiger, and it is difficult to maneuver, and it is best to move the county to the white wolf. In this way, it is not only convenient to cast, but also to better defend Youzhou. ”
It should be said that from a geographical and military point of view, the mention of Ma Hon is very reasonable. Of course, the mention of Ma Han is not only due to these two considerations, but also implies that he is unwilling to leave his roots.
Gongsun Du pondered for a while, and nodded slowly: "The dragon is reasonable, so move the county rule of Liaoxi to the white wolf." In addition, how about the captain of Liaoxi County and the cavalry commander to be succeeded by Zhang Chang? Gongsun Du said, a pair of eyes lit up, and he looked at Ma Han aggressively.
Playing overhead on my turf? Ma Han smiled: "Being able to work with Captain Zhang is really what Captain Zhang wishes in his life." ”
Gongsun Du smiled happily, and seemed to add another sentence very casually: "In fact, with the great talent of the dragon, it is too condescending to stay in the white wolf in Liaoxi, if you are willing to come to Liaodong, you will be allowed to do nothing." ”
Ma Han said with a smile: "The state pastor is really too awarded, but he is just a martial artist, how can he compare with Yang Beijia, I really don't dare to take this position." ”
Gongsun Du also played haha, did not mention it, and then praised Ma Han a lot, saying that it was last year that the floating sea landed to capture Donglai, and it was the strategy and tactics offered by Ma Han at the beginning, and Yingzhou was able to enter the pocket of Liaodong, and Ma Han also had a place.
Ma Han was naturally humble, and then got up to confess to Gongsun Du, saying that he wanted to wear a wide cloth (toilet). Gongsun Du asked the waiter to lead the way. Ma Han swept the corner of his eyes, and saw that there were four armor soldiers accompanying him...... Well, it's more like a prison sentence to say it's an escort.
What is this for? Afraid I'll run away? Thinking of the previous Gongsun Du's desire to rise and descend in a different position, Ma Han faintly felt bad, his previous analysis seemed to be wrong, and Gongsun Du didn't seem to be appeased, but ...... Ma Han immediately activated the heat source scanner, and the scene displayed on the screen made him creepy and his armpits soaked.
In the ear chambers on both sides of the lobby, there are dense red dots, and there are no less than 100 people in a rough sweep. Think about the thirty-six armorers who came out of the ear chamber just now, if these hundred red dots are all like that......
Ma Hao's urine turned into a cold sweat! This is not Baizhang Cliff, and he doesn't have a Demon Pupil Bow in his hand. Surrounded by a heavy siege, with bare hands, with one enemy against hundreds, and all of them are sharp men with halberds and armor...... Even if Lu Bu comes, he will not escape death.
Gongsun Du, you really dare to do it!
Above the lobby, Gongsun Du's face looked gloomy under the flickering candlelight. He was slowly flipping through the pile of information on the case, and there was irrepressible anger and murder in his eyes. If Ma Han had stood aside at this time and had seen these materials, he would have been greatly surprised -- this was the detailed information of the three cities of White Wolf, Guangcheng, and Wencheng and the White Wolf Battalion, including Dingkou, troops, equipment, and military resources, as well as the newly formed Bohai Navy and ships. That's not all, the information also lists in detail Ma Han's whereabouts in the past two years, including the trip to Qingzhou, Jizhou, and the trip to Xuzhou. Among them, it focuses on Ma Han's several trips to the Central Plains, and the harvest, grain and grass, and wealth. Although the number jù is not very accurate. But it's pretty close. With such a huge wealth and strength, whoever sees it will salivate.
This information is the direct reason why Gongsun Du made up his mind to take action against Ma Han - this person's strength has swelled to the point that it is difficult to control Cheng Dù, and if it continues to develop like this, I am afraid that it will not take a year and a half, no, maybe only a few months, and he will have the confidence to argue with himself.
Get rid of the horses and recover the three cities. Merge its soldiers and horses, include its money and food, and so much in one fell swoop, anyone will know how to choose.
Gongsun Du actually only summoned Ma Han to come tonight, and the captains and captains of other states and counties were all summoned, but they were sent back after a few words of understatement. made it inexplicable, but I didn't know that this was Gongsun Du's trick to Ma Han.
Gongsun Du made one last effort before he started. I want to use the technique of rising and descending brightly, transfer Ma Han to Xiangping, and then solve it slowly. It's just that Ma Han very clearly refused, so the rest. It can only be solved by means of iron and blood.
Of course, Gongsun Du didn't think that if he captured and killed Ma Han, he would be able to get to White Wolf City by Shun Lì, so. He made two preparations: first set up an ambush in the Xiangping Marquis Mansion and captured the horseman; At the same time, Gongsun Mo was sent to ride 3,000 steps, uniting the Liaodong vassal state Karasuma King Su Muyan and Liucheng Karasuma King Badun. The two divisions each sent out 2,000 Karasuma raids, a total of 7,000 cavalry, raided the White Wolf Camp and surrounded the White Wolf City.
The soldiers are coming to the city, and the leader is giving the head, why worry that the White Wolf City will not surrender? As soon as the white wolf fell, the rest of Wencheng and Guangcheng were at their fingertips. In this way, the catastrophe is eliminated.
Thinking of the smugness, Gongsun Du squinted and smiled.
At this time, a young general with a sword at his waist and a whole body draped in the ear room walked out quickly, which was the school captain Zhang Chang.
Zhang Chang stood at the foot of the steps, bowed to Gongsun Du, and said respectfully: "Lord Yu, a qiē is ready, when he captures and kills Ma Han, it is also the time when Tian Yu confers the head, but it is just ......"
"Just what?" Gongsun Du swept away coldly, his eyes were calm.
Zhang Chang said awe-inspiringly: "The eldest son insists on personally leading his troops to attack and kill Tian Yu. The subordinates were worried that the night stray arrows would have no eyes, and they persuaded the eldest son, but they ......"
Gongsun Du said lightly: "I don't know what it means, it's just that I want to take the Xianbei people's holy weapon magic bow." Let him go, if he can't even settle a small battle of dozens of people, how can he become the young master of Liaodong. ”
Zhang Chang bowed down, and was about to turn around and retreat, glancing at the pile of information on the case, and couldn't help but say: "Master, the person who sent these secret documents is not good-intentioned, maybe someone in White Wolf City who has a heart to be in the upper position wants to borrow the hand of the lord......"
Gongsun Du smiled: "Borrowing a knife to kill people, how can Lone not know?" Let's talk about this person, it's Karasuma Badun and Su Fuyan, why don't they want to use the power of loneliness to kill Ma Han and uproot White Wolf City? Hehe, everyone wants to be a fisherman, but the only one who can really become a fisherman is the one with the strongest strength......"
Gongsun Du's laughter continued, and suddenly he saw the waiter outside the hall who led Ma Han to Kuanyi running in in a panic, crying with a sad face: "Junhou, it's not good, that Ma Han, he, he ran away!" ”
Gongsun Du and Zhang Chang's faces changed in unison, and they shouted at the same time: "How did you run?" ”
"After he went to the toilet, he didn't come out for a long time, and the small one knocked on the screen for a long time, and when he entered, he ...... him" The waiter had an expression of disbelief on his face, and he couldn't speak.
Zhang Chang was too lazy to listen to his ramblings, and immediately went into the ear room to greet him, and a group of armor soldiers poured out of Hulala, and ran to the toilet with Zhang Chang.
Liaodonghou's special thatched toilet is naturally extraordinary. There are special red lacquer commode buckets, exquisite screen partitions, copper stoves for incense, and whitewashed walls on all sides. Zhang Chang couldn't have imagined on the road that in such a confined space, the only exit was guarded by four armor soldiers, how could he escape quietly?
But when he hurried to the scene of the incident and saw the scene, he finally understood what the expression on the waiter's face meant.
The four walls of the thatched toilet are built with multiple layers of rammed earth and gravel stacked and built into a cold-proof sandwich wall, which has been frozen in a cold winter in Liaodong, and is stronger than the wood and stone, and at this moment, it has been broken a big hole that can accommodate people to crawl out......
What's even more terrifying is that on one wall, a sharp weapon is used to deeply penetrate the next row of shocking wild grass: "Gongsun Du, I will come back!" (To be continued......)
