~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the second year of Xingping (195), in mid-February, the Jianghuai River had already returned to the earth in spring, while the ice and snow in western Liaoning had just begun to melt.
In the morning of early spring, there is a red fire and a warm bed. No one wants to get up at this time. The same is true for Ma Han, especially after a white jade beauty in the bed. For the whole winter, Ma Han worked hard and enjoyed the tenderness. However, Ma Han did not want to have children so early. His career was just starting out and he didn't want to have too much concern, so whenever he was critical, he would take some measures to avoid creampie.
However, today, it seems that some people don’t want to make Ma Han too comfortable. A long and low sound of trumpet shocked Ma Han. A snow-white and tender arm beside him wrapped around Ma Han’s strong and thick chest like green vines, and a lazy voice that made people feel soft and soft sound rang out: “It’s so noisy, what’s wrong?”
"There is an emergency military situation!" Ma Han crawled out of the thick mink quilt with his bare body, and found his boxer shorts and elastic vest to put on.
Gan Mei's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, she came out of the warm quilt, put on a thick robe, and didn't care about her tender breasts being exposed, so she hurriedly knelt down and put on clothes for her husband and combed her hair.
Ma Han looked at the charming and charming girl in front of him with affection and whispered: "This service should be done by Nian Nu. Well, it seems that I have to ask Li Ji for it..."
"Ah! You must not! Serve your husband is a matter of my identity. You must not let Sister Li Ji think that I cannot fulfill my responsibility." Gan Mei looked anxious, obviously serious.
Ma Han also knew that in this era, concubines were actually just high-level slaves, but Ma Han never thought of it that way. In his heart, he always regarded this gentle and gentle girl as a lover. What kind of woman does men treat in this world have the best women? There is no doubt that they are lovers.
After washing up, when Ma Han walked to the entrance, he was about to open the door when he suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, and turned around and saw the surprise in Gan Mei's eyes.
"Do you think I forgot?" Ma Han smiled and waved to his little lover.
The sweet plums walked forward lightly, like milk swallows pouring into their arms. Close their eyes and raised their bright face as bright as the moon.
Ma Han gently kissed the bright red lips that were not painted with Danzhu, but was better than Danzhu, then let go, open the door, and leave.
Gan Mei gently leaned her plump and soft body against the door, stretched her fingers and pressed her lips, and a happy and satisfied smile appeared on her face. For a little woman like her, a affectionate kiss before her lover left the door in the early morning was enough to make her feel good all day.
Ma Han was calm in front of Gan Mei, but as soon as he went out, he immediately acted steadily and in the side hall of the city guard's mansion, Ma Han had breakfast while listening to the report of the whistle and tent.
"... Our army's beacon tower on the north bank of Xuanshui ignited two wolf smokes, and then a Xinying sent a letter. He found that there was a 500 cavalry army in the direction of Lulongsai in Youzhou. Under the banner of Gongsun, he was about to cross the Xuanshui River and came to my White Wolf City."
The words of the whistleblower contain a large amount of unique information about White Wolf City. For example, Xuanshui (now Qinglong River) is a river flowing from northwest to southeastern more than 80 miles away from White Wolf City. It meets the Lu River and injects into the Rushui River. Finally, it flows into the sea. This river is the default boundary between White Wolf City and Youzhou. Hebei is the sphere of influence of White Wolf City, and Henan is the boundary of Youzhou. No matter which side crosses this river, it is considered to be crossing the boundary.
On the White Wolf City, there are five beacon towers along the north coast of Xuanshui; on the same side, there are several beacon towers on the south coast. Any side with abnormal movements will ignite the beacon fire at the first time. However, compared to the fact that only a few piles of wolf smoke can be used to generally express the enemy situation, the White Wolf City is much more advanced, and the beacon towers in the White Wolf City have Xinying.
Ma Han initially got two pairs of letter eagles from Suli, and on this basis, it continued to expand through recruitment, training, rewards and other means. After more than two years of development, it finally formed a scale of more than 100 eagle slaves, more than 50 eagles, and more than 30 communication decoders.
The horse hero is named "Eagle Eye", and is at the first level of Qu (junhou). It is directly under the city guarding the palace with the Langya Flying Cavalry. It is the earliest intelligence combat department of this era.
Ma Han seemed to think of something and asked, "Using the Gongsun banner? Is there no other flag?"
"Go back to the city to defend, yes."
"Only the name of Gongsun, could it be..."
While Ma Han was speculating, a rapid pace came from outside the city guard's mansion, and Xinying sent a second news, confirming his conjecture.
"... Fifty miles away from the beacon tower in Nanguan, Youzhou sent a courier to express his brisk horses, saying that Gongsun Xu, the captain of the white horses in Youzhou, was ordered by the former general, and took advantage of the Bailang Valley to guard the city without misunderstanding, and begged to obey. The letters and couriers arrived later. In addition, Gongsun Xu led five hundred white horses to follow the Yishui River, but he did not dare to break through the beacon tower, and waited for the city to seize it."
The two messages before and after are only a short moment, and the situation is very clear. You can imagine how quickly Xinying delivers the message.
"Bai Horse Captain? It seems that Gongsun Xu has been promoted, or is it that he should lead Yihou's elite Yicheng. He borrowed the White Wolf Valley..." Ma Han pondered. Judging from the men led by Gongsun Xu, it was not enough to pose a threat to Bailang City. After crossing the river, he was very lawful and did not dare to break in. In this way, the possibility of borrowing the road is high. But the problem is that he borrowed the road... To be precise, what does Gongsun Zan mean to ask his son to lead the elite Yicheng? If it is not good for Bailang City, there is no need to expose the intention like this, and the weather conditions are not suitable for siege. But if he really attacks, then who do he want to attack? Outside Bailang Valley is Pingoka, which is the Xianbei Suli tribe of the ally of Bailang City. Could it be...
While thinking about it, the cavalryman Zhao Yun, who was guarding the city, the fake Sima Xiahou Lan, the infantryman Lejin, the military marquis Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Tangnu, the wolf-fanged flying cavalry guards Hou Wuzhu, the white wolf chief Tian Yu, and the white wolf chief Lu Dai all rushed over. Except for the cavalryman Taishi Ci and the fake Sima Guan Hai who inspected Wencheng and the Guangcheng two cities had not returned, the other military and political officials were present.
After learning the details, everyone agreed that the Youzhou people were not likely to plot against their own forces in this move. As for whether to use the rules, it depends on the purpose. If it is not good for Hiraoka and the responsibility of its allies, they will never agree. After all, the side of Hiraoka Suli has also blocked the revenge attempts of Wuyan, Xianbei Kebineng and others for the past two years for White Wolf City.
While discussing, the messenger from Youzhou arrived.
When Ma Han opened the sealed varnish exhibition letter, he found that it was indeed a letter written by Gongsun Zan. At the end of the letter, there was also a bright red seal of the former general. Gongsun Zan explained in the letter that the reason for the passage this time was that Yuan Shao sent an envoy to come out of the pass from Gaoliu, Dai County (this time, the county was owned by the former subordinates of Liu Yu, Xian Yu Yin, Qi Zhou and others, and did not submit to Gongsun Zan). He turned the road east and wanted to go to Liucheng through Bailang Valley. He joined forces with King Tadun of Wuwan and threatened the side of Youzhou, so he sent his son to lead the elite troops to attack him.
Ma Han nodded. If this is the case, then this Tao really has to be borrowed, because he also does not want to see Yuan Shao and Tadun form an alliance. For Bailang City, the Wuwan people in Liucheng are always a potential threat. Once Liucheng Wuwan and Jizhou people join forces, they will be replenished with military armor and equipment. Their strength will be greatly enhanced, and this is definitely not a good thing for Bailang City.
The threat from the Wuhuan people in Liucheng has long been the consensus of the military and political officials of Bailang City, so after learning the details, they all agreed to use the passage, but one thing is that at least one cavalry must be sent to monitor it until the Youzhou army left Bailang Valley. At the same time, a fast horse was sent to inform Pinggang Xianbei Suli.
After the resolution was made, the news of the Ma Wei General was transmitted to the beacon tower on the north bank of Xuanshui through the Xinying. At the same time, Xiahou Lan led a song of 500 cavalry to "escort" Youzhou cavalry to pass through.
At about noon, Ma Han and others standing on the west gate of Bailang City saw the Youzhou cavalry coming from the south. The white horses, red armor and brown helmets, swords, spears, bows and arrows were all in place, and the red "Gongsun" flag was fluttering in the wind. Three hundred steps away on both sides were Xiahou Lan and five hundred white wolf cavalry holding the White Wolf Headhunting Banner to "escort" the troops.
Ma Han did not mean to meet him from the city, and Gongsun Xu did not have the idea of entering the city to visit him. The two sides looked at each other from a distance, and instantly drowned in the cavalry.
Ma Han turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun. The former White Horse Camp cavalry general had deep feelings on his face at this moment, watching the cavalry leave without saying a word for a long time.
An hour later, news came from the front that Gongsun Xu's five hundred cavalry had entered the middle section of the White Wolf Valley, and everything was as usual. It seemed that he had really been to intercept and kill Yuan Shao's envoy.
Ma Han and others finally felt relieved and were about to disperse themselves, but unexpectedly there was another burst of urgent footsteps. Everyone looked up and saw that it was an Eagle-eyed decoder with a black disc in his hand, and a third-level emergency piece with a red feather inserted on it.
Everyone quickly returned to their respective positions. Ma Han took a quick look at the urgent matter for a while, and his expression became more and more surprised. Finally, he looked up and said to his subordinates: "This is the news from the beacon tower at the north entrance of Mashou Mountain Road. Tadun, the king of Wuwan in Liucheng, sent more than 500 cavalry guards to request a passage through the White Wolf Valley."
Another one who borrows the way!
Everyone looked at each other. The White Wolf Valley Road is so lively today!
"What is the reason why the Wuhuan people borrowed the road?" Tian Yu frowned, "They knew that forming an alliance with the Yuan family was a taboo in my White Wolf City. If we could not stop it, how could they allow it to pass through."
"Guang Rang asked the question, this is the problem." The man Marshal put the urgent documents back into the black disc and signaled the guards to pass them down.
Zhao Yun was the first to take it in his hand, and just glanced at it, then blurted out: "King Wuhuan is facing the clan of the squad?"
Everyone was stunned. After a while, Tian Yu murmured: "Is the messenger or a woman sent by Yuan Shao?"
The 阿安 is the name of the Huns' wife's wife, and Wuwan continued to use this custom. The so-called 阿安安 is the 阿安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安
"Hehe, I don't know which strategist's idea is really a good move!" Ma Han held his chin with his hand and glanced at his subordinates. "The most important thing is that we can refuse the Wuwan people to use the passage to meet the Yuan envoy, but we cannot refuse the Wuwan King to cross the border to welcome the bride. Otherwise, it will arouse all the Wuwan tribes' righteous indignation and be at a moral disadvantage."
"What should we do? We just watched the Wuwan people and Yuan envoys pass by our territory?" Zhou Cang was indignant.
Everyone couldn't come up with a good idea for a moment. At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded again, and another hawkeye member appeared outside the lobby, with a black disc in his hand and another urgent piece of red feather inserted on the disc.
This is the third urgent case!
When Ma Han unfolded the emergency, Zhao Yun, Tian Yu and others, who were closest to him, noticed that Cheng Shou's expression was strange: his eyebrows were raised and his eyes widened, as if he was surprised, but the corners of his mouth were curved in a curve, but he had a smile on his face.
What's the situation?
The generals below were still whispering to discuss countermeasures. At this time, a voice was shocking: "What's the point? Our big man's woman is not enough, so I give it to him. No, no! Just grab his mother!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the person who spoke was Pei Yuanshao. That's right, only he, the king of the former mountain, had such a mind.
Lu Dai was rigorous by nature and was very unhappy. He said: "Pei Jun Hou Jinyan, this is a garrison in the city, not a copycat..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard another voice saying, "Well, just rob him of the damn!"
