~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ma Han only rushed back to Luoyang in mid-August, and this time, he took the land route, guarding the soldiers and horses, as many as more than 1,100 people. If there is an extra thousand, it is the Danyang soldier. There are so many elite soldiers and fierce generals, which is equivalent to a large army, and they can go sideways in Yan and Henan. It's good that he doesn't mess with people, and he doesn't worry about people messing with him at all.
Ma Han walked through Yuzhou, entered Yuyuan Pass from Yingchuan, and returned to Luoyang. As soon as he washed away the dust, he received the news that Cao's army had invaded Hanoi.
When Ma Han received the news, he was stunned for a full three seconds before blurting out: "What does Cao Cao want to do?" ”
yes, what does Cao Cao want to do? Right now, he's on both sides. After Ma Han returns, he is more likely to face enemies on three sides, and at this moment, he still has the heart to invade others? It can't be that the strategists are all dead, he is also anxious, and he is stupid.
No matter what move the opponent makes, Ma Han has to accept it. Administratively speaking, Hanoi County belongs to the Department of the Lieutenant of the Division, that is, the jurisdiction of the Lieutenant of the Division, Ma Han. On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? Not to mention Cao Cao, an outsider, even if it is Zhang Yang, a "local household", sooner or later he will have to spit out this piece of land.
In terms of security in Gyeonggi, Hanoi is only separated from Luoyang by a water, and once the Yellow River freezes in winter, a small elite force can be sent to invade it. Even in summer and autumn, it can be attacked by ferry, and it is impossible to prevent it. Therefore, Ma Han would definitely not let a strong opponent like Cao Cao occupy such an important place.
Ma Han originally wanted to discuss with Jia Xu, but when he asked, he realized that Ma Teng and Han Sui in the west had been a little unhappy recently. Jia Xu went to Chang'an to mediate.
Come to think of it, Ma Teng is now a general in Zhenxi because of Ma Han, and he guards Wudu, and he has to be a marquis. Moreover, all military resources are inclined to the Ma Jiajun. How can Han Sui, who is also a warlord of Xiliang, not be hot? If it weren't for Ma Teng's pressure, he would have made a fuss.
Of course, there is no big fuss, and small fuss is still inevitable. The imperial court was particularly sensitive to the Xiliang warlords, and they were extremely nervous when they heard about the trouble. As a result, he was familiar with Xiliang affairs. Jia Xu, who was also a member of the Xiliang Army, was sent to Chang'an to mediate.
Jia Xu is not here, what about Guo Jia?
Ma Han didn't ask at all, because on the way back to Luoyang, he had already seen Guo Jia - August was the main day of the Guo family. Guo Jia went back to Yangzhai to sweep the festival, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return until the end of August at least.
Well, the two masterminds are gone, and it's up to you to decide. Fortunately, this matter is not complicated, and it is not difficult to decide, it is nothing more than a type. Whether it is Zhang Yang's occupation of Hanoi or Cao Cao's capture of Hanoi, Ma Han is confident. Knock them out.
I went to Xuzhou, and after I came back, I went to Yuzhou a little. Ma Han's trip has been fruitful. The DPRK and China received rave reviews. The first thing is to return to the Son of Heaven, and at the same time, he will also officially ask the Son of Heaven to transfer the Dragon and Wolf Army to the expedition. Although this army is his, it has now been labeled as the Son of Heaven's pro-army, so asking for instructions on requisition is a necessary procedure. This is the minimum respect and maintenance for the court and the Son of Heaven.
Before going to court, Ma Han first went to visit Princess Wannian. The princess's body is already obvious, and the birth period is about two months. In addition, Zhen Qin and Gan Mei will also give birth in three months. Ma Han estimated that it would be the winter truce, and he should have time to accompany his wife and concubines and witness the birth of his children.
On the way to the royal road to Chongde Palace, from time to time, officials stepped forward and saluted Ma Han, who responded with a smile. To tell the truth, he almost didn't know nearly half of these officials, including several high-ranking officials with silver seals and blue ribbons of more than 2,000 stones. It seems that this small court has gradually put itself on the right track, restored its former prestige, and the number of scholars who should be appointed as officials has gradually increased.
When he walked to Longwei Road and was about to ascend the hall, Ma Han saw an old acquaintance, and without waiting for the other party to greet him, he stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "Mr. Zhongyu, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately?" ”
This acquaintance, well, is Xun Yue Xun Zhongyu, who once recommended Guo Jia for Ma Han.
Xun Yue smiled, looking very happy: "Very good, thank you for the introduction." ”
It seems that this famous man who has been in seclusion for half his life is very happy. Ma Han was also happy about it, and asked casually: "What position does Mr. have now?" ”
Xun Yue replied: "Taishi Ling." ”
Ma Huo sighed. Taishi Ling is not a big official, with a rank of 600 stones, a copper seal and a black ribbon, and a ephemeris when he is in charge. However, having access to a large number of royal collections, which is convenient for writing books and sayings, is very suitable for Xun Yue, no wonder he seems to be satisfied. However, in the following conversation with Xun Yue, Ma Han learned that Xun Yue's happiness was not only for this reason, but also because he participated in the formation of Cai Yan's Beibei Mengxue, and he is currently applying for one of the teachers.
Ma Han vaguely remembered hearing the Eagle Eye report, because of his own support, room and board were free, Cai Yan's "rural primary school" was getting bigger and bigger, and many children from poor families were sent over within a radius of 100 miles. Maybe these people just want to get a bite to eat, so as not to starve, and reading or something is secondary, but objectively they support compulsory education.
When there are more children, teachers are naturally tight. So Cai Yan visited his father and asked for support, but he also received a lot of assistance, and Xun Yue was one of them.
The two talked and walked, and stepped onto the cloud platform, and suddenly Xun Yue beckoned to someone in the group of officials gathered on the stage: "Gongda, come on, come on, this is the hussar general Ma Jun you often ask about." ”
He was greeted by a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a green shirt, of medium height, with white skin, black beard, extremely attentive eyes, and a faint smile on his face. The middle-aged man walked over, first saluted Xun Yue, and then saluted Ma Han: "Yilang Xun You, meet the general." ”
Ma Han came all the way, and there were too many people who greeted him with smiling faces, and he was already numb. Hearing the other party's introduction, he just nodded politely subconsciously, and then he saved his taste and said in surprise: "Are you ...... Xun ...... Uh, Xun Gongda? ”
Xun You is a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms, one of the top strategists, how could Ma Han not know, suddenly learned that this powerful person was standing in front of him, and almost blurted out the name of the person, it would be extremely rude.
Before Xun You could speak, Xun Yue had already laughed: "Has Ma Jun also heard Chen Changwen's comments?" ”
Chen Changwen is Chen Qun, he once commented on Xun's contemporary Junjie, there are "Xun Wenruo, Gongda, Xiuruo, Youruo, Zhongyu, there is no right today".
Ma Han smiled, of course he didn't look at Xun Yu differently because of Chen Qun's comments, otherwise, wouldn't he pay more attention to Xun Yue (Zhongyu). In fact, among the talents of Xunmen, there is only one Xun Wenruo and one Xun Gongda who can really stand the test of history.
Seeing Xun Yu in front of him, Ma Han naturally thought of another Xun Yu who was with Shi Yuliang. In terms of generation, Xun Yu is Xun Yu's uncle, and the interesting thing is that Xun Yu, who is an uncle, is actually six years younger than his nephew Xun You, and he is really an uncle and nephew.
Ma Han remembered that Xun Yue once said that his old nephew was on the way to serve as the Taishou of Shu County, but he was blocked and could not move forward and was stranded in Jingzhou. At that time, Ma Han asked Xun Yue to repair a letter and asked Xun Yu to return to Luoyang to take up his post. After that, he was busy with military affairs, so he forgot about it. Unexpectedly, Xun Yue actually got it done.
It would not be surprising if Ma Han knew how Xun Yu worked for Cao Cao in history. In history, after Cao Cao was appointed to the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu immediately repaired a letter and invited Xun Yu to come. Xun You was trapped in Jingzhou, and after receiving the uncle's letter, he didn't say a word, packed up, and immediately returned. Xun You was so simple, half of it was at Cao Cao, and half at the big tree behind him - Emperor Xian.
With the Son of Heaven, representing the central government, this is the real reason for Xun You's defection.
At present, the man with his back to the big tree is Ma Han, and he is not inferior to Cao Cao in terms of eloquence. With such a character, it is normal for Xun You to vote.
Ma Han squinted and smiled, and saluted Xun You: "After the next court, please go to the house to talk about it, don't shirk." ”
Xun You returned the salute casually: "Dare to disobey your fate? ”
At this time, the cloud board sounded, the bell chime rang, and the court meeting began.
Although Ma Han was busy with military affairs, as long as he was in Luoyang, he never delayed his arrival in the court. His position is under the Son of Heaven, and he is placed alongside the Three Princes, and he has a special seat.
When Ma Han'an sat on the seat, he saw the solitary seat at the bottom of the opposite side - Zhong Xuan in the imperial history.
The four eyes met, and both nodded in greeting, their eyes indifferent.
Ma Han and Zhong Xuan are also knowledgeable, and Zhong Xuan is also one of the hundred officials who accompanied the Son of Heaven to the east. In Ma Han's impression, Zhong Xuan seems to be a calligrapher, and he doesn't know anything else, so he doesn't pay much attention to this person. Unexpectedly, this person's official luck was not bad, and he actually sat in the imperial history, which can be equal to Shang Shuling and Si Li's lieutenant.
In the information received by Ma Han from the Luoyang court, the person who opposed the Dragon Wolf Army out of the customs the most fiercely was this Yushi Zhongcheng. As for the reason, Jia Xu believes in his intelligence analysis that first, Zhong Xuan has a good impression of Cao Cao, thinking that this person is eloquent and different from other princes; The second is that Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu are both members of the Yingchuan Township Party, and the two families have been friends for generations, and their friendship is extraordinary, and it is very likely that they are at Xun Yu's request.
Ma Han felt that there might be a heated debate in the court today, but Cao Cao's invasion of Hanoi gave him a breakthrough. I believe that this time, no one dares to stop him from sending troops.
As the cloud chime sounded, a row of gold-armored warriors holding halberds rushed out and stood on both sides of the main hall; This was followed by eight attendants holding various seals and talisman treasures, standing under the dan qi; Behind it is the guide holding jade Ruyi and white-tailed deer, standing respectfully on both sides of the emperor's couch.
The last person to appear was Liu Xie, the son of heaven.
After a short half a year, when Ma Han saw this brother-in-law again, he almost couldn't recognize it.
The originally sharp and thin face has become round and bulging, with a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and a particularly loud voice, even with a little screaming......
It looks very good, but it always feels that something is wrong: the face is round, but it is fat; The complexion is ruddy, but too greasy; The eyes are shining, but the eyes are wandering; Energetic, but too excited; The voice is loud, but the middle qi is insufficient; Especially the sharp hiss, like a deaf person when he speaks, he is afraid that others will not hear clearly, so he feels very loud.
Ma Han was speechless, this immortal cultivator has been cultivated like this? (To be continued)
