Chapter 178 [Go to Liaodong again]

(Thank you sincerely for your support from the Alliance! Thank you to Zhao Wuxiu for his frequent support in 2014, ufgw.)

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

According to the rules of the grassland, he handed over all the carts and dozens of carts to Ma Han. After apologizing to the Wuwan people, he brought the bodies of seriously injured Han Juzi and nearly a hundred soldiers and returned to Jizhou sadly. In the Jizhou convoy, there was a box as important as the cart. It was built with Yuan Shao's imperial edict and golden seal to award the title of Tadun Shanyu under the name of the court. In addition, there were also imperial edicts for the Wuwan kings such as Lou Ban, Su Puyan, Wuting, and Nanlou. However, it was disturbed by Gongsun Xu and Ma Han, and it was completely ruined.

If the marriage fails, the alliance loses an important fulcrum. If Yuan Shao wants to form another alliance, he can take another sect daughter.

If Qianzhao is sighing and leaving, then the Wuwan people return with grudges. The side of the king of Wuwan was robbed of kinship, which is a huge humiliation for Tadun and Liucheng Wuwan. Tadun does not avenge his shame for a day, and his reputation will be difficult to recover in one day. According to the rules of the grassland, even if Tadun is the king of Wuwan, if Tadun wants to avenge his shame, he can only designate a warrior to challenge the kinship stolen person himself. But the question is, who should he challenge?

Tracing the origin, the real person who slaps the bride in the face is Gongsun Xu in Youzhou. Tadun should challenge Gongsun Xu, but his side-shou family is not in Gongsun Xu's hands. It is true that Ma Han robbed the bride, but he robbed the bride from Gongsun Xu, so it has nothing to do with Tadun. This has resulted in the fact that the bride robber has no bride in his hands, and the bride in his hands is not the first person to rob the bride. This is the most troublesome and embarrassing thing for Tadun.

This turned out to be a heavy blow to Tadun's prestige, but he could not avenge his shame unless he dared to run to Youbeiping County and challenge Gongsun Xu - of course it was impossible and meaningless. For Ma Han, he could only ask, negotiate, and strive to exchange for his own Fang Yan family at an acceptable price to restore his reputation.

Ma Han completed the Lou Clan's instructions with a simple act of robbing the bride, which not only continued the original intention of the Youzhou side to destroy the Yuan family and Wuhuan alliance, but also somewhat won the honor of Yuan Shao, and suppressed Tadun's prestige in Liucheng. Moreover, the other party was still angry and could not speak out, which was a win-win situation. However, all parties were so angry that they were so angry that they had to accept his love.

A White Wolf Valley Road involves three forces and has complex interests. Ma Han walked the wire in the middle and was very lucky that it did not fall. It was just that some hidden dangers had been buried, and perhaps at some point, it would explode.

On the way back to Bailang City, Ma Han recruited a deputy envoy to send his parents, who was the bride's uncle. A clan brother of Yuan Shao learned about the bride's situation from the other party.

Yuan Yuan, sixteen years old, was the second daughter of Yuan Shao's brother Yuan Xi. He was adopted by Yuan Shao as his daughter and married Wuwan as his legitimate daughter. This time he set out from Yecheng and traveled thousands of miles to Liucheng, and it took more than three months on the road.

During one or two nights from Bailang Valley to Bailang City, Yuan Yuan almost never showed up and remained silent. In other words, he left the will of fate.

When Ma Han returned to Bailang City, he had not had time to see what the Yuan clan girl who was robbed by various parties looked like, and an urgent document from Liaodong was presented to him.

Ma Han had no choice but to summon the generals again, opened the document plate in public, glanced and looked up, and said in surprise: "It's Gongsun Envoy's personal letter."

After reading the entire contents of the Mars General, he bent his fingers and gently pondered. Shaoqing said slowly in the anticipation of the generals: "Envoy Gongsun urgently summoned me and the country to Liaodong, and there will be ships to pick us up on Juehua Island. The entourage must not exceed 100 people, and it is limited to arrive before mid-3 months..."

"What? Arrival within one month? This... is so urgent!" Tian Yu and others who have been to Liaodong were very surprised. It is mid-February now. Even if you walk on the sea, you will have to walk for more than one and a half months. Arrival within one month is too urgent, right? What is the situation?

While posting the documentary, Ma Han said, "The envoy, Yan Dao, will open the straight road from Pingguo to Da clan for us, and also provide a station fast horse, requiring us to take out the speed of the wolf cavalry in western Liaoning. We must arrive before March 20, and expect something big to happen."

Gongsun Du summoned each other, and it was urgent. There was no reason that manpower could not resist (such as mourning or serious illness), and it was irresistible. Ma Han and Tian Yu, the two military and political leaders of Bailang City, must arrive immediately within the prescribed time.

Time is tight, but Ma Han did not follow Gongsun Du's baton. Thinking of Gongsun Du's attitude towards Bailang City in recent days, Ma Han must be prepared.

First of all, Ma Han gathered all the generals of military marquis and above, including Taishi Ci and Guan Hai who had just rushed back from Wencheng, assigned tasks and designated them to be responsible.

During the departure of the city guard and Bailangchang, the government affairs were in charge of Lu Dai; the military affairs were in charge of Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci, and Xiahou Lan and Le Jin assisted; Tangnu and Wuzhu were in charge of the garrison of the two gates of Bailang City in the east and west; the city guard and the public security in the city were in charge of Zhou Cang; the newly formed Bohai Army on Juehua Island was in charge of Taishi Ci and Guan Hai.

The most important thing is to mobilize "Hawkeye" to establish a fast communication channel with a radius of 300 miles. This secret channel was initially established at the end of October last year. Ma Han personally led Hawkeye to relay the message back and forth between the sea and land and air with the cooperation of the Bohai Army, which took five hours. The fast horse 600 miles was expedited, and in Liaoxi, where there were almost no decent post stations, it would take at least four days. Even in Liaodong, Youzhou and other places with a complete post station system, it would take three days. In contrast, the excellence of Xinying's letters was self-evident.

Xinying Feixun has achieved initial success, but if the letter is delivered across the sea, it will be greatly affected by the sea climate, which is a disadvantage. But overall, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

The Mahan plan is to use this air silhouette to quickly remotely control the headquarters. Once there is a need, even if he is hundreds of miles away from White Wolf City, he can command the army and attack the target within one day.

When Ma Han arranged all the matters, the generals were surprised to find that Ma Han had not arranged a military guard commander for himself and Tian Yu.

Before the generals asked questions, Ma Han had already spoken: "This time, Guozang and I will not bring too many entourages, each of us will only bring ten."

"This is too little!" Zhou Cang was the first to shout.

The generals also made inappropriate praise, thinking that it is necessary to lead a hundred people.

Ma Han raised his hand and pressed it down, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Ma Han looked around the generals and said, "The last time I went to Liaodong, in order not to let Gongsun Jun underestimate him, I brought enough cavalry and also showed my strength in Bailang City. The purpose has been achieved. This time, unlike the previous episode, Gongsun Jun is now more courageous, more majestic, and more troops to Qingzhou and occupy Donglai. At this time, Gongsun Jun could no longer tolerate us with too much sharpness, so when I went there, I must keep a low profile as much as possible. What's more, in other people's territory, what is the difference between a hundred entourage and a ten entourage?"

Ma Han's words were not speculation, but were supported by intelligence. Don't forget that he was hidden in the prefect of Xiangping City. Over the past year, all kinds of information about Gongsun Du and Xiangping City have been continuously transmitted. After Hawkeye's compilation, there were two thick books. Among them, Gongsun Du's attitude towards Bailang City is the top priority.

Zhen Qin took advantage of the openness of the people in Liaodong and the reason why Gongsun Gong herself did not prohibit her from leaving the palace, so she collected many information from all aspects with her special identity. Some of these information were useful and some were useless. After preliminary sorting of Xiangping Intelligence Station, valuable information was transmitted back to Bailang City through letters from Yingying, personnel transmission, passenger ship transfer, etc., and then filtered the information through Hawkeye and submitted it to Ma Han for review.

Therefore, although Ma Han has been away from Xiangping for many years, he knows all the important things that happened in Xiangping City, including the prefect's office. Of course, it is inevitable that the timeliness will be delayed by several months, and poor timeliness is inevitable. However, Gongsun Du's attitude towards Bailang City has changed from praise to doubt, and then from dissatisfaction to fear. This process has appeared as early as last year.

It is based on information that Ma Han knew that this time was different from the previous one. The last time was a high-profile reminder for some people that Bailang City should not be bullied. This time, facing Gongsun Du who is gradually becoming stronger and dares to reach out to the Central Plains, it is best to be a quiet cavalry captain, and not force Gongsun to start too early - because Bailang City has not completed all the training of recruits, but the trained soldiers lack practical experience. Only those who can support Ma Han's confidence are more than a thousand White Wolf Cavalry. After all, they are not confident enough.

In short, one sentence - White Wolf City is not ready yet, try to keep a low profile when it is time to keep a low profile.

After listening to the analysis of the city guard, the generals of Bailang City fell silent for a moment, and finally ended with a solemn advice on behalf of the generals: "City guards should be careful. If there is any dissonance, it is the top priority to escape. Everything else can be abandoned."

Ma Han nodded deeply: "Don't worry, Xiangping City is not even worthy of being called a dragon's and tiger's den in my eyes."

The next morning, Ma Han said goodbye to Li Ji, Gan Mei, and Nian Nu, and Gan Mei also said something similar to Zhao Yun, "Go safely and return safely."

Li Ji Ze looked at Ma Han deeply and said, "When your husband comes back, Li Ji will tell her a secret - perhaps, this secret will help her husband get rid of the predicament in front of him."

Ma Han smiled and said, "Are you willing to say it finally? OK, I will come back and listen carefully."

On February 17th, Ma Han, Tian Yu and twenty White Wolf Cavalry, with only basic weapons and equipment such as bows, arrows, light armor, etc., left Bailang City and went to Juehua Island, where a large passenger ship of 500 stone was already waiting. The person who was waiting for them was still Zheng Gao.

Zheng Gao told Ma Han that there was no need to bring horses. After arriving at Dashi, he had a man and three riders provided by the envoy, so he could quickly go to Xiangping.

Gongsun Du is really not an ordinary hurry!

Ma Han glanced at Zheng Gao, and from the other party's expression, he seemed to know a little inside story. Well, the road is long and there is time to ask.

On February 20th, Ma Han and Tian Yu left Juehua Island and officially embarked on their second trip to Liaodong.
