Chapter 105 [Double Heroes]

(Thanks to the Alliance, Zhao Wuxiu 2014, the waves of fluctuations, the glorious charter support... Read the latest and most complete novels)

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

The Nine Gate lost, the left wing of the Heishan coalition forces broke through the defense, and the horns were suddenly lost. The good situation was turned over, and the enemy of the Nine Gate would intercept the rear. In this battle of Changshan, the defeat of the Heishan coalition forces was decided. What Zhang Yan had to worry about was not how to fight against the Yuan army, but how to retreat to avoid being pursued by the enemy and causing a defeat.

On the night of the war, Gao Lan found Cangcao Zhenyi and asked him to find the Zhen family's children, especially the young man surnamed Ma. But the answer was: "I have returned to Wuji Zhen family manor to report."

Ma Han and his party have indeed left. The purpose is achieved, they will retire after success, and stay in Yuan Jun camp, which will soon attract the attention of those who are interested and reach Yuan Shao's ears. He does not want to meet Yuan Shao in this way.

As soon as Ma Han returned to the Nine Gate, Yuan Shao sent an envoy. The envoy was personally escorted by Zhao Yun - Zhao Yun led the brave and the flying cavalry. Within one day, he defeated more than ten batches of escorts sent by Zhang Yan and captured and killed dozens of infantry cavalry. When he happened to meet the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, he escorted into the city himself.

Ma Han didn't know this messenger, but he had heard of his name: Jizhou Zhizhong is engaged in history, and is recruited.

Yuan Shao sent such senior aides as envoys, in addition to expressing goodwill, he also attached importance to it. No matter which force attacked the Nine Gate, he helped the Yuan army to break the Black Mountain coalition. It was this surprise soldier that broke the balance between the Yuan army and the Black Mountain coalition, and made a protracted battle that could last for months and decided the victory in just a few days. Of course, this emphasis on the other hand also had a vigilance. On the other hand, it was also responsible for observation and inquiry.

When Ma Han received Qian Zhao, he only sent him a letter: "Tell this letter to Mr. Yuan. You will know your own feelings." Then he sent Qian Zhao away directly. Ma Han didn't want to talk to Qian Zhao for nothing. Anyway, it was impossible to bring this person over. It would be serious to ask Yuan Shao to give him benefits. He had been in the Central Plains for a long time and it was time to go back.

Qianzhao even had a glass of wine and butter, and he was given a gift to leave the city before his butt was hot. He couldn't mention the stuffiness.

When he returned to Xiaquyang, Yuan Shao was discussing matters with the generals and was surprised to hear it: "Zi Jing, will you come back so soon? Are you rewarded?"

Qian Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "I'll get a letter."

There was a waiter who received the letter and Yuan Shao was in hand. However, he was not busy unfolding it and asked: "Who is the Nine Gate? How many soldiers and horses are there?"

Qian Zhao thought for a while and said, "I can't see many soldiers and horses, but halfway through the journey, I saw a general from the Nine Gate leading dozens of cavalry to chase the Black Mountain bandits who peeked at the Nine Gate. He captured a lot of captives and captured them, which shows the elite. As for the people who occupied the Nine Gate, he was a young man with a slump. He claimed to be the cavalry commander of Liaodong County. He was the prefect of Liaodong, and was guarding the Bailang City in western Liaoxi. As for his name and origin, according to what he said, they were all written in the letter. The lord knew it at a glance..."

Liaodong Cavalry Commander? How did you come here? And you also helped our army a lot, could it be...

Yuan Shao and Tian Feng looked at each other, and their eyes lit up. At the same time, they thought of a place mentioned by Qianzhao - western Liaoning. This is the most important place in Jizhou's strategy. Isn't this saying that someone is just about to fall asleep?

Yuan Shao immediately opened the letter, and then, from Tian Feng, he pulled the ball below, all the generals saw a strange phenomenon: the lord's face was very strange, and he was calm and calm, suddenly turned blood red, his forehead was bulging, and his leisurely and calm eyes were also suddenly widened; then the blood faded away, turning pale, and his lips were still trembling; after a little leaning, his emotions slowly calmed down, and his face was unstable. After closing the letter, he raised his head and took a deep breath, waved his hand, signaling the generals to retreat, but let Tian Feng stay.

After everyone withdrew, Yuan Shao stopped Tian Feng and wanted to ask, and handed the letter to him directly: "Yuan Hao didn't need to ask questions, he knew at a glance... he didn't expect it to be him."

What was him? Is this man familiar with the lord? When Tian Feng took the letter, he did not think about why the lord left him alone, and gave the letter to him, just thinking that it was the lord who wanted to ask him for advice. However, when he opened the letter, he realized that it was not the same thing at all.

"... Yuan Gongjieqiao gave a horse's friendship, but I thought about it and could not repay you. Now I am dependent on the Nine Gates, and echoing the Duke from afar. Isn't it a pleasure to attack Hu Zhang River and hunt Changshan..."

The horse is given to the Jieqiao! These four words are like the Huang Zhong Da Lu, which shocked Tian Feng's head to buzz; it was even more like a loud slap in the face, making Tian Feng's face skin swell and red... Only now he knew how fiercely the lord was just "beat".

It turned out to be him! So that's it! No wonder the lord deliberately kept him, not because he was the chief adviser, but because he was the only person in the matter.

During the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao was captured, and there were only two insiders, one was Han Meng and the other was Tian Feng. Han Meng was dead, and Tian Feng was the only insider. As for some guards and soldiers, these soldiers were slight, and no one believed them no matter what they said - here refers to public opinion. Public opinion is always in the hands of the upper class, and the soldiers circulated privately, and even rumors were not considered.

"It turned out to be him, the Hummer Jinglong, who became the cavalry commander under Gongsun Shengji's tent in just one year, and he also set up a city to compete with Wuhuan in western Liaoning." Tian Feng couldn't help but praise, "As Feng saw that day, this son was indeed a rare general, and Gongsun Prefect has vision. It would not be surprising if he was the one who broke the Black Mountain bandit in the Nine Gate."

Yuan Shao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, pondering: "As Yuan Hao saw, is Ma Jinglong's help to show his goodwill this time related to Gongsun Shengji?"

Tian Feng shook his head without hesitation: "Gongsun Shengji is more than enough to guard Cheng, but he has no courage to peek at Nan. If Gongsun Bogui doesn't hit him, he will thank God. How dare he stroke his tiger beard? I think this son's affairs in Gongsun Shengji should be like Liu Xuande's affairs. But because other departments are in charge of him, they will do their own things and do not completely obey Liaodong."

"Okay!" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, no longer had annoyed expression on his face, but he looked happy, "I want to invite Ma Jinglong to come and thank him in person, how about it?"

Tian Feng smiled and said, "It should be so. Moreover, the lord must give preferential treatment."

Yuan Shao laughed loudly, all the unhappiness before was wiped out.

Just because Ma Han helped Yuan Shao win this battle, Yuan Shao was so grateful? Of course not! It was just because of a location - western Liaoning.

If you ask Yuan Shao who is the most powerful opponent in his life? There is no doubt that it must be Gongsun Zan. At this time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan used the Battle of Jieqiao as the watershed. Before that, Gongsun was strong and Yuan was weak. After this battle, the two sides had entered a stalemate stage, and each other had a victory or defeat, and no one could do anything to each other. So at this time, the most commonly used move in the military began: Lianheng and Zong.

Gongsun Zan was connected with Yuan Shu in Runan, which made Yuan Laoer desperately drag Yuan Lao Da down, and it was indeed awesome; Yuan Shao was connected with Wuwan - yes, it was Wuwan! Tadun, the king of Wuwan in western Liaoning and the three kings with wings. In history, Yuan Shao was extremely hardworking to win over Wuwan, giving money, giving people, and giving names.

Giving money is the meaning of the title. There is no need to say much; giving away someone, marrying the daughter of the Yuan clan (some say they are biological daughters) with Tadun; giving away the name, in the name of the court, Tadun was named Wuhuan Da Shanyu, and the other kings such as Wuyan, Su Puyan, and Nanlou all signed Shanyu and gave seals. So much so that after the Battle of Guandu, the Yuan brothers were expelled from Hebei by Cao Cao, and they fled to Tadun, and Tadun also used the name of revenge for the Yuan clan. They plundered You and the two states, and captured as many as 100,000 Han people. At that time, nearly one million Qing who fled to Liu Yu's rule to avoid the war in the Central Plains, the people of Xuzhou were all trapped in the hands of the Wuhuan people...

The reason why Yuan Shao spared no effort to make friends with the Wuwan people was very simple: First, the Wuwan people were Gongsun Zan's mortal enemy. The enemy of the enemy was a friend; second, the place where the Wuwan people occupied was just behind Gongsun Zan. From western Liao to northern Mo, almost the entire line bordered Youzhou. From the map, it can be seen clearly that Jizhou, western Liao and northern Mozhou formed a tightly-fitting attack on Youzhou. No matter how strong or ruthless Gongsun Zan was, if he was attacked in such a north-south, he would be unable to escape the defeat.

In fact, as time goes by, Gongsun Zan faces a more dangerous situation. He will face three encirclements: Yuan Shao in the south, Wuwan in the north, Liu Yu in the west, and Dahai in the east... Such a situation of death, even if Cao Cao was thrown in, the ending would not be much better. And such a situation was the result of the careful planning of Yuan Shao Group, which can be called the Yuan version of the "Three Kingdoms Kill". If Liu Yu had not committed suicide and broke the situation early, Gongsun Zan would have never been able to hold on for that long.

Ma Han is a chess piece that is unexpectedly happy in this sure-killing situation.

However, as the saying goes, things in the world are like a game. Before the last moment, who is whose pawn is, and who can tell you accurately?

...

On July 19th, Ma Han was invited to Xiaquyang. He only brought Guan Hai, Xiahou Lan and the twenty wolf-fanged flying cavalry. The Nine Gate was headed by Taishi Ci, and Zhao Yun led hundreds of cavalry to block the whistle cavalry sent by Zhang Yan of Zhending. Although Zhang Yan had tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, under the control of the Yuan army of Xiaquyang, he did not dare to launch a large-scale attack on the Nine Gate. Otherwise, if the Yuan army seized the retreat, he would definitely die very ugly. The only thing Zhang Yan could do was to send a few hundred small groups of troops to test to see if he could retake the Nine Gate. As a result, four or five groups were sent in the front and back, and more than two thousand people were added to the meat buns.

Ma Han's outfit today is a bit strange, with a helmet and armor, and looks like he is about to fight. Xiahou Lan followed Ma Han for several rounds of life and death, and has been impressed. Although it has not been finalized, he has already regarded himself as a subordinate. Seeing this, he should remind Ma Han carefully. It is best to wear a dress to pay homage. Even if it is not good, he should wear regular clothes. Such a military uniform is afraid that it will be despised and underestimated.

Ma Han smiled and said, "I don't know if others underestimate me, but Yuan Gong knew who I am, and would never have such thoughts."

Under the guidance of the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, more than twenty cavalry passed through the numerous patrols that had been sent out by Yuan's army for thirty miles and entered Xiaquyang. The horse man rode a Bingzhou horse that took away his own slaughtered the Hu. It was quite strong. In order to avoid irritating Yuan Shao, white horses and silver arrows would definitely not be able to ride.

When I met General Cheqi and Cavalry, Master Jizhou, and Yuan Shao, I naturally could not be empty-handed. The gift of Marven's gift was to give twenty Bingzhou military horses, Tuge, Wuwan captured a hundred people, and the lost seal of the Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu. Marven captured the Nine Gate and obtained hundreds of Bingzhou horses. In addition to giving away thirty horses to Zhen and twenty Yuan Shao, all the others were collected by themselves. As for the captives, there were as many as a thousand people. These people, whether Han and Hu, were taken back to the western Liao Dynasty, and should be taken back to the west of Liao.

In front of the lobby of the Xiaquyang Guan Temple, strategists gathered, and military generals gathered. Under the aggressive eyes of Xueliang, Ma Han, wearing armor, took Guan Hai and Xiahou Lan Dengtang to meet.

Guan Hai and Xiahou Lan both knelt down to see each other, but Ma Han just bowed and bowed to salute: "The cavalry commander of Liaodong County led the guards of Bailang City in western Liaoning. He had seen Duke Yuan. He was the last man to be armed with his armor and he could not give a great gift."

At this moment, Xiahou Lan finally understood what Ma Han's outfit meant in "high and heavy" outfit. She didn't know whether to praise Ma Han's cleverness or shook her head at him.

It is well known that the armor is not worshipped. Not to mention Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, even the emperor will deal with it. Not to mention that Ma Han's move was made by Yuan Shao and his advisers, even those generals could see that this guy was intentional.

Yuan Shao didn't care about these subtleties. After a recent year, seeing this person who had given him great humiliation again, saying that he was indifferent and calm, was a denture. But as a hero in the world, Yuan Shao definitely had a cunning man. He just nodded to this young man in military uniform and unruly manner and smiled: "Liaodong County Cavalry Commander, haha, how about Jizhou Cavalry Commander?"

The counselors and generals all secretly accepted it. This person is so rebellious that the lord is not only not annoyed, but is instead attracted by his important position. This is really rare.

"Thank you Yuan Gong to be respectful, and you feel guilty." Ma Han looked flat and told the truth.

Hearing this, the thorn in Yuan Shao's heart was pissed. Even though he was so elegant, the smile on his face froze, the corners of his eyes kept twitching, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the hilt of the sword were exposed.

Tian Feng hurriedly rescued the scene and randomly arrested a reason to turn the topic: "Ma Duwei, if you have armor on your body, it's okay if you don't bow down, but you shouldn't be so stumbled upon by the envoy, you're rude."

Of course, Ma Han didn't want to anger Yuan Shao. He came here to make friends instead of making enemies. He immediately bowed: "The western Liaoning area is also a vulgar person. If you have any rudeness, please ask Yuan Gonghai to accept it."

Yuan Shao deserves to be a hero, and quickly controls his negative emotions and waves his hand: "This is the only thing Yuan Hao doesn't have to worry about. Jinglong attacks the Nine Gate with a surprise weapon to help Gu defeat the left wing of the Black Mountain bandits. He has made great achievements and Gu Zhenshi thanks him."

Ma Han smiled: "When the Black Mountain coalition troops left Taihang, the troops were very strong and their momentum grew. However, under the joint attack with Gong, they were defeated. It can be seen that no matter how strong the enemy is, if the head and tail can form a joint attack with the left and right, even if the enemy is strong, it will be difficult to escape the defeat."

Yuan Shao and Tian Feng's eyes lit up suddenly. There is something in their words! What etiquette, grudge, and in the face of real interests, are all clouds. It seems that it is necessary to have a good talk with the guardian of the White Wolf City in western Liaoning.

Yuan Shao was secretly happy and was about to order disbandment and then to invite Ma Han to a banquet, he suddenly heard an urgent report: "The Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan led five thousand infantry and cavalry to force me to go down to the left-wing camp of Quyang."

The generals were shocked for a moment. What? Is Zhang Yan so crazy that he didn't quickly find a way to get out, and dare to come and ask for wildfire?

Tian Feng suddenly rolled his beard and laughed, and saluted Yuan Shao with his sleeves and said, "Congratulations to the lord, Zhang Ni wants to escape! The overall situation of this battle is settled."
