Ma Han returned to Liaodong, passing through Xuansu, Xuansu Taishou Gongsun Xian led more than 100 subordinate officials, more than 10,000 people, out to welcome ten miles. This time, Gongsun Xian's posture was extremely low and his demeanor was respectful. Since Xuansu was returned from exile and brought the news of the destruction of the Baqi army, Gongsun Xian knew that the Liaodong army's crusade against Goguryeo would be victorious. I just didn't expect this victory to come so quickly and so completely.

Destroying the country and opening up the territory is an unprecedentedly meritorious achievement in this dynasty for a hundred years. It's a pity that the Han family is in decline, the world is in chaos, even if there is a splash of the sky, it is difficult for Li Guang to seal it!

If it is said that Ma Han took Liaodong against him, he relied on a surprise attack; subdued Liaoxi Karasuma, relying on the horizontal and vertical connections; Then this expedition, the destruction of Goguryeo in half a moon, truly demonstrated the absolute strength of Ma Han and the powerful force he mastered.

The Han officials of Xuansu, Lelang, and Liaoxi counties who belonged to Liaodong were originally very uninterested in a young Taishou who was not even as good as Gongsun Du, and felt that this person was just relying on good luck and personal courage to make the Hu people who believed in the respect of the strong fearful, but as soon as Goguryeo was destroyed, the county officials collectively lost their voices.

Liaoxi is okay, Xuansu and Lelang, but they have been deeply disturbed by Goguryeo for many years, and they have the deepest understanding of the strength of this small powerhouse in Haidong. The old and difficult problems that have been deposited for decades have been solved by thousands of troops, and the strength of this horse is impressive. Regardless of whether the Han officials of the counties admit it or not, they also believe in the respect of the strong - slightly different from the Hu people, the strong people of the Hu people are personal martial arts; And the strong man that the Han officials worship is a strong strength.

And the Xuansu County, which suffered the most from Goguryeo, can be said to be the biggest beneficiary of this war. At present, Goguryeo has become the Liaoning County of the Han Dynasty, and since then, the troubles of Xuansu's henchmen have gone, regardless of political achievements, popular support, financial endowment, military spending, and so on. The benefits received, no matter how one may say, are not excessive. Therefore, Gongsun Xian was grateful and convinced, and it was not until this time that the head of the Xuansu Gongsun family really stood on the side of Ma Han and put himself in the right position.

In Xuansu, Ma Han was not only convinced by the family headed by Gongsun Xian. More than 10,000 people, including the rescued Hanmin, received high-standard courtesy of "removing their boots and dismounting their horses and paving the road with artemisia". Although there are only more than 1,000 Xuansu Hanmin rescued by Ma Han, there are more than 1,000 families who directly or indirectly accept kindness? The common people can only express their gratitude with the most qualitative actions. Please three elders for the young Taishou to remove the boots dust, support the dismount, 10,000 people bear the artemisia paved for ten miles of long road, "ten thousand Buddhas" sound throughout the city of Xuansu......

After experiencing the several times that the people of Xuzhou Suiling and Yan County were greeted and sent off, Ma Han was able to deal with such a scene at ease, and he did it all the way. Sincerely thank, with the hand of Gongsun Xian, walk ten miles until you enter the south gate of Xuansu.

Ma Han from this grand welcome ceremony. Not only did he see the hearts of the Xuanwu people, but he also saw the Xuanwu family represented by Gongsun Xian, and he lost his sincerity to himself - I also knew how to support Li Min. Without official support, guidance, or even leadership, where would such a big move be possible?

Ma Han stayed in Xuansu for three days. Met with large and small officials, local heroes, and took advantage of the power of this annihilation to radiate his influence to all aspects of Xuansu as much as possible.

On the third day, Ma Han and Gongsun Xian hosted a banquet for several special guests in the Xuansu Taishou Mansion.

Under the guidance of the doorman, the first to appear was a middle-aged scribe about forty years old, wearing a scarf, with a yellowish complexion, three locks of long beard, and thick eyelids, but lively eyes.

As soon as they saw this person, Ma Han and Gongsun Xian straightened their bodies together, raised their arms and closed their sleeves as a salute: "Thank you Yangjun for being invited to the banquet." ”

The person who came came to the ground for a long time, raised his head and said with a smile: "The two envoys have a call, how dare they not come." ”

This person is one of the elders of the Yang clan of the Liaodong Wang clan, the former Xuanwu County Cheng, Yang She.

Although Gongsun Xian and Yang Shi were very incompatible, the scene was a harmonious atmosphere, as if they were such high-ranking and powerful people, and rarely wrote each other's dissatisfaction on their faces.

A waiter stepped forward to remove the stool for Yang Shi and led him to the left seat. Yang Shi saw that there was only one table on the opposite side, and said with a slight surprise: "The two envoys are invited to today's banquet, are they only invited to two people?" ”

Gongsun Xian looked sideways at Ma Han, who just smiled slightly: "It's about the face of the Yang family, and it's inconvenient to announce it in front of everyone." ”

Yang Shi "Geden" in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition. When he saw the second guest, his eyes widened, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

The second guest is Yang She's nephew, the head of the Yang family and the other driver of Liaodong - Yangyi.

The original meaning of don't drive is that when the governor of the state and county travels, don't take a car to accompany him, in this sense, Yangyi's don't drive is indeed a bit incompetent. Ma Han went to Liaoxi, but he did not follow; On the expedition to Goguryeo, he did not follow. Running around with one hand in hand, you, the second-in-command, are sitting at home, this official deserves ......

But Yangyi can't do it, he is really not suitable to go to that place in Liaoxi, and Taishou also understands this. And what about Goguryeo? The reasons are much more complex, but in the final analysis, there are three aspects:

First, the Yang clan and Goguryeo have always been friendly, and each other is each other's first trading partners, if Yangyi appears on the battlefield to conquer Goguryeo, it will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction among the Goguryeo kings, and it will be a heavy blow to the family's important economic resources. Of course, this is also the Yang clan's people, including Yangyi, who underestimated the consequences of this battle, who would have thought that Goguryeo, a small tyrant who had dominated Haidong for more than a hundred years, was hit by Ma Han's bow and collapsed.

The second is related to the old Yang Shi of the Yang clan, which was originally planned to let Yang Shi come forward to persuade the Goguryeo army to retreat and win a good name, but he did not expect to be decisively rejected by the new Taishou. The Yang family was dissatisfied, and Yang Yi couldn't stay behind, which was also a silent protest.

In the end, it was Yang Yi who didn't support him. He also knew that Ma Han was not at ease with him, let alone trusting him. In case someone has bad intentions and a good one, it is easiest to push the enemy's head, don't end up in a foreign land......

Yang Yi did not go out with the army, and Ma Han did not mention this stubble, and as a result, this theoretically Taishou's right-hand man was shelved in such an unknown way. Now that Ma Yan destroyed the country and returned, Yang Yi no longer moved, and he really couldn't say anything, so he came to greet Taishou in the name of representing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong. I also want to save some impression points. Yang Yi has been keenly aware that after this battle, this young Taishou will inevitably be completely subjugated by the six counties and one country in Liaodong, and the foundation is stable and difficult to shake. Yang, there is no choice but to cooperate.

When Yang Yi came to Xuansu, she originally wanted to discuss with her uncle Yang first, but she didn't expect to be invited by Ma Han as soon as she entered the city. Stay in an annex courtyard. At this moment, Yang Yi appeared in the atrium, and at a glance, he saw that the clan uncle was also there—and he was the only one, and he immediately felt that something was wrong. But in any case, the matter has come to this, and he can only be frightened, and stepped forward to greet the two Taishou and the clan uncle.

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Han saw that the two guests were obviously not in a daze, and even the words of congratulating him were dry and out of tune, so he smiled at the moment. He didn't hang the appetite of the two, and took out a silk book from his bosom. A waiter has already stepped forward with a plate, bowed down with a long arm, and took the silk book.

Ma Han said idly: "This silk book." Please take a look, well, let's ask Yang Jun to take a look at it first. ”

When Yang Shi looked at the black vermilion lacquer plate in the waiter's hand, the roll of blue and white diamond pattern silk cloth. His eyes froze, his body shook imperceptibly, and a little wine spilled from his glass. Yang Shi woke up suddenly. Hurriedly put down the cup, swept the big sleeves at will, and wiped the wine stains on the case.

The corners of Gongsun Xian's mouth hooked slightly, and a sneer of disdain flashed over him, and then he nodded with a smile.

Yang Shi stretched out his hand with difficulty, and grasped the silk book on the lacquer plate stiffly, and he knew that it was his letter to Lucky without unfolding it at all. This kind of blue and white diamond pattern silk cloth is what he is used to, and he can recognize it at a glance - this damn Gu Linu, why didn't he burn it after reading the silk book, and he still carried it with him, and he was captured and killed by the Taishou in front of him......

Yang Shi's gaze slowly turned to Gongsun Xian, and he saw the sneer on the corner of this rival's mouth. Yang Shi didn't open the silk book, but said indifferently: "What you do, it's only for my Yang clan, this matter has been leaked, and there is nothing to say, but it is ruled by the king." ”

Ma Han's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a dangerous cold light: "So, don't you deny that you colluded with Julinu to lure the enemy into the Kou, and even sent someone to lure Julinu to set up an ambush on the mountain road and kill and injure Xuansu's reinforcements?" ”

Of course, Yang Shi can't deny that this young Taishou may not know his handwriting, but he has worked with Gongsun Xian for many years, and he has long been familiar with each other's handwriting, so how can he deny it? That being the case, he simply admitted it generously, and saw that the other party could help him, the old man of the Liaodong family.

"Bastard!" Ma Han was furious and slammed his palm into the case. Rumble! The heavy hemlock wood case was torn apart, and the momentum was astonishing. The civil officials such as Gongsun Xian, Yang She, and Yang Yi who were present were so frightened that the guards outside the door poured in.

"Get out! Get out! Gongsun Xian, who had calmed down, reprimanded the guards, and looked at this young Taishou with amazing bravery in his eyes complicated, and stopped talking.

"No matter how big your Yang clan is, can it be bigger than the county government? Can it be bigger than Chaoyan? Can it be as big as thousands of Xuanwu Lishu? "The horse's chest is on fire, his eyes are like ice, he rises up, and the halberd is pointing at the yang, "Just because of your own selfishness, hundreds of soldiers and civilians in Xigai Ma have been killed and wounded, thousands of families have been destroyed, fertile land has been destroyed, and there is no food and clothing." Xuanwu rushed to the aid of the county soldiers, and nearly 1,000 were killed and wounded and missing...... You bastard! Traitors! Don't think that if you are the elder of the Yang clan, I can't move you! I have destroyed a country, and I still care about your little Yang clan! ”

This was said heavily enough to make Yang She, Yang Yi's uncle and nephew all change color.

Ma Han exhaled hard, calmed down his anger, sat down slowly, and turned his head to look at Yang Yi: "I invited Zi Xiu to come tonight, just to be a witness, it's not that I crossed the river and demolished the bridge, but that Yang is guilty of crimes." In the opinion of Zixiu, how should we deal with it? ”

Yang Yi's mouth was bitter, but he had to give up his hand and say: "What Father Ji did is really not the way of a human minister, what punishment should be punished, please judge the lord." My Yang clan is willing to redeem their sins with thousands of acres of gold, and hope that the lord will be fulfilled. ”

Spending money to atone for sins has a long tradition in the Han Dynasty, and it was first flourished in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In order to raise a huge amount of military expenses to attack the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used all his might, such as the nationalization of the salt and iron monopoly revenue, which originated from the Han Dynasty, and the use of money to redeem its crimes is also one of them. The most famous example of this is Sima Qian, who was punished by the palace for angering Emperor Wu, and he could not afford to pay hundreds of thousands of atonement money, and the result was ......

"Atonement?" Ma Han smiled unexpectedly, "Do you know that there is a sin in this world that can never be forgiven? ”

Yang She's uncle and nephew glanced at each other in confusion, although this thing was indeed not authentic, it brought heavy losses to Xuanwu County, and they were also arrested, but the amount of compensation they paid as if they were cutting meat was enough to atone for the crime. In the final analysis, this matter did not bring obvious damage to the Xuansu family and officials, and it was only ordinary soldiers and ordinary people who were harmed. This sin can be said to be big or big, small or small, and it is not dispensable, but it is just too guarded.

"At my discretion? Well, in the name of Liaodong Taishou, I sentenced Yang Shi to commit treason, country, and crime! Ma Han paused word by word, and Xiang Yang Shi pronounced the death sentence, "The only grace I give you is that you can die here, or you can go home and die again - don't say that I didn't warn you, if you dare to live until dawn, then no one in your Yang clan's Xuansu Courtyard has six hundred and thirteen people, including you, don't expect to see the sunrise again." ”

The strong murderous aura released by this sentence made even Gongsun Xian, who had nothing to do with him, wet his back, not to mention the uncle and nephew of the Yang family concerned.

The next day, Ma Han led his army out of Xuansu, taking with him the gold he had offered and the title deeds of 10,000 acres of fertile land—not for the life of Yang She, but for his head and reputation. Yang Shi had hanged himself, but there were still things that were almost as valuable as life, such as a complete corpse, such as a reputation after his death. These, too, have to be exchanged for things. When encountering a master like Ma Han who can blow up corpses, the Yang family can only consider himself unlucky.

Soon, Yang Yi also resigned because of this and withdrew from the Liaodong Political Center. The Liaodong Yang clan has gradually declined since then. (To be continued......)
