(What a great thumbs up! The alliance is so sharp! And depending on the situation, I finally got the right I deserved, which is gratifying! Thanks to Zhao Wuxiu for his musket of the 6th Holy Sword, ufgw continues to support it!)

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

Mahan's boats and boats were all anchored in the bay north of Qu County (now Haizhou Bay). On the hillside twenty miles away from the beach, there was a Mi family courtyard, Zhao Yun, Le Jin, Gan Mei, Han Xi, and Ma Qi, who had been through the dangerous period and recovered, all lived here, waiting for their city guards to return.

When Ma Han and his party appeared at the foot of the mountain, there was joy inside and outside the courtyard, and they rushed out one after another.

Ma Qi came out with a cane with the support of his two companions. Although he was not conspicuous in the crowd, Ma Han's eyes first fell on him. He then strode forward, looked up and down, and smiled on his face: "It's great, just survive."

Ma Qi's nose was sour: "Ma Qi was only a cheap life, but he spent tens of thousands of yuan on precious medicines and medical expenses in the city guard. Ma Qi is really..."

Ma Han immediately interrupted: "No one of my subordinates has a bad life! No one of the White Wolf Cavalry warriors' lives are worth tens of thousands of dollars!"

"But I'm afraid I can't do it if I'm holding a whip and stirrup for the city guard..."

Ma Wen waved his hand: "I don't want you to hold the whip and fall from the stirrups, I want you to continue fighting for me. If you can't ride a horse and can't draw the bow, it doesn't matter. You can teach more recruits from the White Wolf Camp to become qualified soldiers - only real soldiers can teach qualified soldiers."

Ma Qi burst into tears. He tried hard to bow to the city guard: "There is still something to be available in this way, Ma Qi finally felt at ease..."

On the other hand, Le Jin met his father and his family and was filled with emotion. Unexpectedly, Ma Han did what he said, traveling thousands of miles to pick up and drop off his family. What else could he say?

Le Jin walked over, clasped his fists with his hands, bowed his body and bowed. His tone was firm: "From then, Le Jin is the spear of the city guard, and the city guard pointed to it, which is where Le Jin wanted."

Ma Han was very happy. Even if he didn't get anything during this trip to Xuzhou, just a joyful journey was worth all his efforts.

Ma Han held Le Jin with his eyes and tone as sincere: "It has been ten months since I left western Liaoning. The biggest gain of this thousand-mile voyage is to get Wen Qian."

Le Jin didn't know what to say, but just held his fists tightly and slapped his head...

After everyone said it almost, Zhao Yun came over and said halfly, halfly, half blaming him: "The city guards thousands of miles away, but Yun sits idle and has nothing to do. He is really ashamed of his subordinate..."

Ma Hanggang smiled and said, "Actually there is no danger. I just went to Yanzhou to make a move..."

"Then I greeted Lu Bu with the arrow." Zhao Yun looked smiling.

"Which little bastard is talking nonsense?" Ma Han glared at the group of wolf cavalry warriors who followed him to Yanzhou, and turned around and changed into a smile. "Aren't I doing well?"

Zhao Yun sighed lightly: "The city guard has the best archery skills in the world, but the name of "Flying General" is not false. It would be fine if we meet on the battlefield, but there is no need to fight this kind of voluntary battle. However, the city guard gets rid of it in time, obviously knowing it. This is good. However, it will be better to do less in the future. It is important to know that the city guard is responsible for three cities, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians!"

Ma Han nodded repeatedly: "Zilong's good words, he has been taught."

Perhaps it was because Ma Han and Zhao Yun met the earliest, or perhaps it was because of the friendship they had formed during the Battle of Jieqiao. Among the generals in Bailang City, Zhao Yun's attitude towards Ma Han was not purely about subordinates and superiors, but about a bit of brotherly concern. Similarly, Ma Han also respected Zhao Yun as his brother in his heart, and did not simply regard him as a subordinate.

This kind of special superior and subordinate relationship with brotherly friendship is not uncommon among the forces of the Three Kingdoms. For example, Lu Bu vs. Gao Shun, Cao Cao vs. Xiahou Dun, Sun Ce vs. Zhou Yu, Liu Bei vs. Guan, Zhang, etc., is also a major feature of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhao Yun no longer spoke too much about this matter, but only made a gesture of pleading with a palm: "There is another person, the city guard must meet him."

Ma Han was slightly surprised: "Oh, who is it?"

Zhao Yun waved his hand to the white wolf cavalry warriors lined up in a wall, and the soldiers dodged to both sides, revealing a large group of people behind. These people were all young and strong, and they were all wearing military uniforms. It seemed that they should be soldiers, with two or three hundred people. But Ma Han was sure that these people were definitely not soldiers under his command. Who were they?

Ma Han's eyes turned, and when he saw a familiar face in the crowd, he couldn't help but call out: "Duke Lu Ding!"

This person is Lu Dai, the magistrate of Huaiyin County.

Lu Dai stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Dai is leading 273 Huaiyin soldiers and is willing to follow the commander north and make achievements."

An unexpected joy is definitely an unexpected joy!

When Ma Han passed by Guangling for the second time, he recruited Lu Dai. However, because of his background and Lu's father, Lu Dai was full of concerns and did not dare to agree rashly. So, how could Lu Dai change his mind? In fact, after the Guangling Incident, Lu Dai worked together with Ma Han to revive Huaiyin. During this period, Lu Dai already recognized the ability and courage of this young commander who was twice his age. In addition, it was all due to Ma Han's help that he was able to kill his enemies with his own hands. It can be said that he owe a huge favor. At that time, if Ma Han occupied Guangling, Lu Dai would not hesitate to submit to him.

Unfortunately, Ma Han had no such plan. After that, Lu Dai was busy rebuilding Huaiyin, and Ma Han returned to Pengcheng and never had the opportunity to re-invigorate the recruitment. If the matter was like this, perhaps Lu Dai would continue to work in Huaiyin peacefully and slowly gain experience, so that he could become a county magistrate, a chief and other sermon in the future. Unfortunately, things in the world are hard to achieve.

The county magistrate Lu Dai was actually appointed by Ma Han, which is just a temporary errand. It is a legitimate reason to have to be re-issued by the Xuzhou government office. Under normal circumstances, it is not an exaggeration to use Lu Dai to reorganize Huaiyin for Lu Dai, even if he is rewarded with the county magistrate. Indeed, this is the case, but he still has to have a bracket "born". As long as this is possible, everything is not a problem. Unfortunately, Lu Dai was stuck on this one.

As a result, Huaiyin was pacified and wealth was abundant (Ma Han seized some of the property plundered by Zhu Rong), and this fruitful fruit attracted the saliva of the local tyrants of Guangling and the Xuzhou officials who had just survived the claws of the Second Cao army's Eastern Expedition. For these people, it should not be too simple to squeeze out a background-less Lu Dai.

Soon, Lu Dai received the transfer order and was transferred to Linyi Chief. Linyi Chief sounded like a promotion, but first of all, we need to figure out where Linyi is.

Linyi County is in the northern Langya Kingdom of Xuzhou. Its surrounding environment is as follows: Yangdu is located in the north, which was occupied by the Cao army at that time; Fei State in Taishan County, Yanzhou, to the west, which is also the territory of the Cao army; then Ju County is located in the east, and Langya County is located in the south. These two places are controlled by Xuzhou of the Tao family. But the problem is that the conflict between the two countries is Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya Kingdom stationed in Ju County and Zang Ba, the cavalry commander stationed in Kaiyang, is known to the entire Xuzhou officialdom. Being a county magistrate in the gap between these two people is not as relaxed as facing the Cao army in the west and north.

Not to mention, Linyi had long been in the mutual attack between Cao's army and Zang Ba, and it turned into a ruin with a ruin with a population of less than ten.

Lu Dai was nearly 40 years old, and the officialdom was ups and downs for more than ten years. How could he hide such a method of rising and falling openly and deposed as if he was demoted? This time, he finally became completely desperate about the Xuzhou officialdom and made up his mind to leave.

In history, Lu Dai left Huaiyin after the Guangling Rebellion and went south to Jiangdong, and finally achieved a great career in Dongwu. But this time, he met someone and had another choice in his life.

On the day when Ma Han Yu Cheng said goodbye to Li Dian, Lu Dai from the Guan Temple in Huaiyin placed the bronze seal and yellow ribbon of the transfer commander and the county magistrate on the desk, and then walked out of the gate. On the square in front of the temple outside the gate, two hundred and seventy-three were neatly inspired by Lu Dai, who were willing to go to western Liaoning together to follow Ma Han's new recruits...

...

In late August, Ma Han finally left Xuzhou and returned to western Liaoning with a lot of harvest. Mi Fang personally led hundreds of elders from the clan to see him off at the wharf.

When the ship set sail, Gan Mei served Ma Han in the bird room and chuckled, "Did you forget to give someone a piece of jewelry?"

Ma Han was stunned at first, then seemed to have some insight. He smiled and took out the sachet from his arms and said, "Is this something? She asked you to do it?"

Gan Meiyanran shook her head: "She didn't have the nerve to ask, and she just sent a personal maid to express this to me."

Ma Han said lightly: "Someone is not that easy to deceive. Want it? Get it yourself." Ma Han put the sachet back into his arms, and suddenly seemed to feel something, and asked, "What's the name of that personal maid?"

Gan Mei was a little surprised, but still Rourou replied: "It's called sachet, what's wrong?"

Ma Han couldn't help laughing.

Amid the laughter, the fleet headed northward, taking advantage of the southeastern wind in summer, and headed north along the coast. Since the return journey was set off from Qu County, the voyage would be greatly shortened, and it is expected that it would take only one and a half months to return to western Liaoning.

In mid-September, when the fleet passed through Donglai County in Qingzhou, the fleet was replenishing water and food, it was unexpectedly discovered that the flag of Huang County, Donglai County, had changed, and the new flag was very familiar - Liaodong Gongsun.

Ma Han was surprised and sent two white wolf cavalry soldiers who had been stationed in Huang County for several months to inquire. The news was: Just two months ago, under the leadership of the cavalry commander Gongsun Mo and the chief clerk Liu Yi, three thousand Liaodong Army crossed the sea, landed on the raid of Huang County, and killed 400. More than a thousand soldiers from Donglai County Magistrate were captured and surrendered. Fortunately, the Liu Zheng, who was rescued by Taishi Ci, had already left and returned to the plains, otherwise he would be captured by the Liaodong Army, and he would probably have to commit suicide in shame and anger without being sent to Gongsun Du.

After Gongsun Mo and Liu Yi captured Huang County, they pushed westward, Xianguo, Qucheng, Yeguo, Dangli, and Luxiang counties and states, either broke or surrendered in less than a month. Then, the three cities in Mouping, Dongmu and Changyang in the east were all exiled and surrendered, and in the end there was only one lonely city in the south (now the area of ​​Laoshan, Shandong). Because it was too far away, the road was rugged and difficult to move, and there was no conquest. In this way, in less than two months, the entire Donglai County had all entered the hands of Gongsun Du, except for the last city. Liaodong and obtained a pedal to quickly advance into the Central Plains.

Gongsun Du immediately merged Donglai County and the Da Clan in Liaozhong into Yingzhou, and Liu Yi was appointed as the governor, and the prefecture was located in Huangxian. Since then, Yingzhou has become a bridgehead for Liaodong to peek at the Central Plains. However, as the situation in the Central Plains was renovated, Gongsun Du did not dare to make any moves again. The steps of this heroic leader of Liaodong finally ended here.

After hearing this, Ma Wen said, "It seems that no one is idle, not only he is working hard. Gongsun Du is also doing big moves."

This is a chaotic world. Every leader of the forces who are ambitious, powerful, and unwilling to be detained are seizing all opportunities and working hard to expand their living space.

Only by being brave enough to fight with the small, can one turn from weak to strong; being content with the status quo and not being enterprising will sooner or later become the food in the mouths of the strong.

Ma Han stretched out his right hand, bent his iron fingers one by one, and clenched into fists - OK! Gongsun Du, let's play, see who is ready first!
Chapter completed!
