(Thank you for the Alliance! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ufgw, ct521, Xiaoyao★Extraordinary, the ticket reward support is powerful enough.︾)

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

Ma Han rushed back to Luoyang in mid-August. This time, he was on land, with more than 1,100 guards. The more than 1,000 soldiers were the Danyang soldiers. With so many elite soldiers and entourages, it was equivalent to a large army. He could walk sideways in Yan and Henan provinces. He would not provoke people, and he was not worried about people coming to provoke him.

Ma Han left Yuzhou, entered Zhuyuan Pass from Yingchuan, and returned to Luoyang. As soon as he washed away the dust of Zheng, he received news that Cao's army had invaded Hanoi.

When Ma Han received the news, he was stunned for three seconds before blurting out: "What do Cao Cao want to do?"

Yes, what does Cao Cao want to do? He is now suffering from an enemy on both sides. After Ma Han returns, he is more likely to face an enemy on three sides. At this moment, he still has the intention to invade others. It’s not that all the strategists have died, but he is also anxious and has made a fool of himself.

No matter what move the opponent makes, Ma Han will take it. Administratively speaking, the Sili School Officer of Hanoi County is the jurisdiction of Ma Han, which is the jurisdiction of the Sili School Officer. How can others sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Not to mention Cao Cao, the outside household, even Zhang Yang, the "local household", will have to spit out this land sooner or later.

From the perspective of safety in the capital, Hanoi and Luoyang are only separated by water. Once winter comes, the Yellow River is frozen and you can send small elite troops to invade you as you advance. Even in summer and autumn, you can attack by ferrying boats, which is hard to defend. Therefore, the horse will definitely not allow powerful opponents like Cao Cao to occupy such an important place.

Ma Han originally wanted to discuss it with Jia Xu, but after asking, he found out that Ma Teng and Han Sui had a little unhappy recent quarrel, so Jia Xu went to Chang'an to mediate.

It seems that because of Ma Han, Ma Teng is now the General of Zhenxi, guarding Wudu, and being appointed as a marquis, and all military resources are tilted towards the Ma family army. How could Han Sui, who is also a warlord of Xiliang, not be jealous? If Ma Teng hadn't pressed him, he would have had a fuss.

Of course, there is no big fuss, and small fuss is inevitable. The court is particularly sensitive to the warlords of Xiliang and becomes particularly nervous when they hear the trouble. So Jia Xu, who is familiar with the affairs of Xiliang and is 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 he had already met Guo Jia on the way back to Luoyang - August is the day when the head of the Guo family was sacrificed. Guo Jia returned to Yangdi to sweep the sacrifice, and it is estimated that he would not be able to return at least at the end of August.

Well, both planners are not here, so you can only make a decision. Fortunately, this matter is not complicated, and it is not difficult to make a decision. It is just a typing. Whether it is Zhang Yang occupying Hanoi or Cao Cao taking Hanoi, Ma Han has the confidence to beat them out.

After traveling to Xuzhou, he also went to Yuzhou after returning. Ma Han gained a lot of rewards during this trip. The court received rave reviews. One thing is to report to the emperor, and at the same time, he will formally ask the emperor to transfer the Dragon Wolf Army to fight. Although this army belongs to him, it is now labeled as the emperor's personal army, so asking for instructions to recruit is a necessary procedure. This is the minimum respect and maintenance of the imperial court and the emperor.

Before going to court, Ma Han went to visit Princess Wannian. The princess's body was already very obvious. The delivery period was about two months. In addition, Zhen Qin and Gan Mei would also have pre-delivery in three months. Ma Han estimated that it was the winter quit season, and he should have time to accompany his wives and concubines and witness his children's birth with his own eyes.

On the way to the imperial road to Chongde Hall, officials came forward from time to time to greet Ma Han, and Ma Han responded with a smile. To be honest, he almost didn't know these officials, including several high-ranking officials with silver seals and green ribbons. It seems that this small court has gradually gotten on the right track and has restored its former prestige and the number of scholars who should be appointed as officials has gradually increased.

As he was about to reach the Longwei Road, Ma Han saw an old acquaintance. Without waiting for the other party to greet him, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhongyu, I haven't seen you for many days. How are you doing lately?"

This acquaintance, well, is Xun Yue and Xun Zhongyu, who once recommended Guo Jia to Ma Han.

Xun Yue smiled with his eyebrows and looked very happy: "It's great, thank you for your recommendation."

It seems that this famous scholar who had been living in seclusion for half his life was very happy. Ma Han was also happy and asked casually: "Sir, do you have any job at the moment?"

Xun Yue replied: "The Grand Historian."

Ma Han said oh. The Grand Historian was not very good at his official position, with a salary of 600 stones, a copper seal and a black ribbon, a palm of the heavenly time, and a star altar. However, he had the opportunity to come into contact with a large number of royal collections, which made it easier to write books. It was very suitable for Xun Yue. No wonder he looked satisfied. However, in the following conversation with Xun Yue, Ma Han learned that Xun Yue was happy not only because of this, but also because he participated in the establishment of Cai Yan's Beim Primary School and was currently applying for a position as one of the candidates.

Ma Han vaguely remembered hearing Hawkeye's report. With his own support and free food and accommodation, Cai Yan's "rural primary school" became bigger and bigger, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and many poor children were sent here. Perhaps these people just wanted to eat in one bite and not be hungry, and studying was second, but objectively they supported compulsory education.

As there were too many school children, the teachers naturally became nervous. So Cai Yan visited his father's former friendship with scholars and asked for support. He received a lot of help, and Xun Yue was one of them.

The two of them walked as they talked and walked up to the cloud platform. Suddenly, Xun Yue waved to someone among the group of officials gathered on the platform: "Gongda, come on, this is the General Ma Jun of the Cavalry that you often ask about."

The one who came in response was a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a blue shirt, medium-sized body, white skin, black hair, and extremely bright eyes, and always had a faint smile on his face. The middle-aged man walked past, first greeted Xun Yue, and then saluted Ma Han: "The Congratulatory Man Xun You, pay homage to the general."

As Ma Han walked along the way, there were too many people who greeted him with a smile and had already become numb. He heard the other party's introduction, but he nodded subconsciously and then he was relieved. He was shocked and said, "Are you... Xun...uh, Xun Gongda?"

Xun You is a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms and one of the top strategists. How could Ma Han not know? He suddenly learned that this powerful man was standing in front of him and almost blurted out his name. That would be extremely rude.

Before Xun You could speak, Xun Yue laughed: "Have Ma Jun heard of Chen Changwen's comments?"

Chen Changwen is Chen Qun. He once commented on the contemporary heroes of the Xun family, saying "Xun Wenruo, Gongda, Xiuruo, Youruo, Zhongyu, there is no match for now."

Ma Han smiled. Of course, he didn't look at Xun You differently because of Chen Qun's comments. Otherwise, wouldn't he pay more attention to Xun Yue (Zhong Yu). In fact, among the talents of the Xun clan, only Xun Wenruo and Xun Gongda can stand the test of history.

When Ma Han saw Xun You in front of him, he naturally recalled another Xun Yu who was Shi Yuliang. In terms of seniority, Xun Yu was Xun You's uncle. Interestingly, Xun Yu, as an uncle, was actually six years younger than his nephew Xun You, and he was really an uncle and nephew.

Ma Han remembered that Xun Yue had said that his nephew, who was blocked and unable to move forward, was stranded in Jingzhou. At that time, Ma Han asked Xun Yue to compile a letter and asked Xun You to return to Luoyang to serve. After that, the military affairs were busy, so he forgot about this matter. Unexpectedly, Xun Yue actually got the matter done.

It wouldn't be strange if Ma Han knew how Xun You served Cao Cao in history. After Cao Cao served the emperor in history, Xun Yu immediately compiled a letter and asked Xun You to come. Xun You was trapped in Jingzhou. After receiving the letter from his uncle, he packed his clothes and returned immediately without saying a word. Xun You was so straightforward, half aiming at Cao Cao, and half aiming at the big tree behind him - Emperor Xian.

With the emperor, he represents the central government and is justified, this is the real reason why Xun You defected.

Currently, Ma Han is backing a big tree. In terms of talent and strategy, he has not lost much to Cao Cao. It is normal for Xun You to come to vote for such a person.

Ma Han squinted his eyes and smiled, saying, "After going to the court, please come to the palace and don't refuse."

Xun You returned the favor: "Dare you not obeying your order?"

At this time, the cloud board rang, the bells and chimes rang, and the meeting began.

Although Ma Han was busy with military affairs, he never delayed going to court as long as he was in Luoyang. His position was under the emperor, and he was on par with the three dukes and had a special seat.

After Ma Han sat in the seat, he saw the seat alone in the lower head opposite him - Zhong Yao, the chief censor.

The eyes met, both sides nodded and looked indifferent.

Ma Han and Zhong Yao were also familiar with each other, and Zhong Yao was also one of the officials who followed the emperor to the east. In Ma Han's impression, Zhong Yao seemed to be a master of calligraphy, so he didn't know much about anything else, so he didn't pay much attention to this person. Unexpectedly, this person's official career was not bad, and he actually sat in the position of "three alone" as the Censor General, which was on par with the Shangshu Ling and the Sili School Commander.

Among the information about the Luoyang court received by Ma Han, the most intense opposition to the Dragon Wolf Army's exit from the customs was the Chief Censor. As for the reason, Jia Xu believed in the intelligence analysis that, first, Zhong Yao had a good impression of Cao Cao and believed that this person was talented and different from other princes; second, Zhong Yao and Xun Yu were both party to Yingchuan Township, and the two families had a good relationship for generations, and the friendship was extraordinary, and it was very likely that they were in response to Xun Yu's request.

Ma Han felt that there might be a fierce debate today, but Cao Cao invaded Hanoi, giving him a breakthrough. I believe that this time, no one dared to stop him from sending troops.

As the cloud chime sounded, a row of golden armored warriors holding halberds came out one after another and stood on both sides of the hall; then eight eunuchs holding various seals and talismans in their hands stood under the Danbao; then behind were guides holding Jade Ruyi and White-tailed Little, standing respectfully on both sides of the imperial bed.

The last one to appear was Emperor Liu Xie.

After half a year, when Ma Han saw this brother-in-law again, he almost couldn't recognize him.

The originally pointed and thin face turned round, with a rosy complexion, her eyes shining brightly, her voice was particularly loud, and she even screamed...

I look very good, but I always feel something is wrong: my face is round, but I lose weight; my face is rosy, but I am too greasy; my eyes are shining, but my eyes are erratic; my spirit is too excited; my voice is loud, but I am not enough; especially the sharp hissing sound, which seems to be a deaf person when he is talking, so I feel very loud.
