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

The river surface in the middle of winter was filled with frost and mist. The river wind was strong and it could not disperse. The sky was gray and there was no sign of sunrise.

The Grand Marshal Yang Biao got up early in the morning and didn't have time to enjoy the first fresh fish soup since his escape for months. He hurriedly drank two bowls of Liangmi (the best rice) porridge, then got off the boat and inspected the water along the river and asked the local boatmen. It was not until the beginning of Chen Shichu that he returned to the boat and reported to the emperor that the inland river water (Yellow River) would not be frozen in the near future, but it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. From Shan County to Mengjin Ferry, Yinpingyin, Henan, it will take at least five days to go down the river. In case of precautions, the emperor must set off as soon as possible.

Liu Xie chewed a portion of roasted lamb legs happily and ate happily - it was no wonder that the emperor was so good at eating. Just think about the fact that the emperor had been unaware of the taste of meat for three months, and was humiliated from Li Jue for a few pairs of beef bones.

However, even though it was the time for food, Liu Xie suppressed his appetite, wiped his face and cleaned his hands, sat upright at the table, listened carefully to Yang Biao's suggestions, hesitated a little, and looked behind the screen. Behind the Emperor's Couch, there was a beautiful figure that could be seen in a vague way, and naturally the Wannian Princess.

Princess Wannian didn't know her brother's intentions, and said in a wild voice: "A gentleman is not standing on a dangerous wall, let alone Your Majesty's honor as a king."

Liu Xie nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak when a small yellow gate came out of the outdoors: "Report to Your Majesty, Xingyi, Fengyi, Hengjiang, the three generals of Hengjiang and the Right King of the Xiongnu have all returned. Please see Your Majesty."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows, unable to hide his joy: "Hurry, please announce it!"

In a moment, the outdoor steps were heavy. The armor leaves were shaking, and the two were three and four generals wearing armor and dusty appeared outside the not-wide gate.

Ma Han had long been informed that he was wearing armor and standing on the right side of the emperor. He squinted his eyes and was the leader of the general, about forty years old, with a long face, heavy beard, and his eyes were not big. He always showed a sense of ruthlessness when looking at people. It seemed that this person was Yang Feng.

The three generals behind Yang Feng were the best to recognize him. He was about thirty years old. He was wearing a skeleton hat, a thick jacket, a big pancake, a thin eyebrows, a big nose, a wide mouth, a golden ring on the left earlobe, a braided beard, and tied with a red rope. His whole body was full of ferociousness and toughness.

The two fat and thin generals on the left side were average in appearance, but based on the physical characteristics of the two, Ma Han had already identified that the fat man was Han Xian and the thin man was Hu Cai.

The four generals entered the Bird's room and bowed to apologize: "In order to resist Guo and Zhang's rebels, we failed to rescue the Lord in time, and took Your Majesty in a dangerous place. Please give up your crime."

Liu Xie enjoyed a rare food breakfast, and was in absolute safety, feeling comfortable, and waved his hand easily: "You all work together to investigate the chaos and suppress the rebellion, but only merits, how can you do it? Don't mention the apology. Well, how about the battle with Guo and Zhang?"

Yang Feng said on behalf of the four people: "I fought with Er Ni at Cao Yangting and beheaded more than 500 people. Because I was obsessed with Your Majesty and did not dare to fight, I led my army back and sent Song Guo away, and Xu Huang returned first. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty was forced by Li Niling... Fortunately, the prefect of Liaodong, Ma Jun, refused to leave thousands of miles and was loyal and righteous, and was very lucky."

Liu Xie looked at the "prospective brother-in-law" on the side, nodded with a smile, and Ma Han smiled humbly.

The four generals also noticed the young generals who were close to the emperor, and were all surprised. Before they came, they had already obtained the situation about Ma Han from Li Le, Song Guo, and Xu Huang, and were prepared, but when they saw the real person, they were still a little unbelievable. This was the new right general who lifted Gongsun Du off the horse overnight, swallowed Liaodong, and even destroyed Li Jue's central army with hundreds of cavalry, and pulled him out in one fell swoop. It was indeed very young...

Ma Han was sneering and beheading more than 500 levels? Haha! Before he entered the bird room, Wu Zhui sent news that the four generals of Yang Feng fought against Guo Si and Zhang Ji's army in the southeast of Cao Yangting, fifty miles away, and were almost defeated and were killed a thousand levels. If it weren't for the Xiongnu being restrained, it would be a big deal to see whether the four of them could come back safely. Of course, there were still be beheadings. According to Wu Zhui, it was less than 100 levels. However, in the Three Kingdoms era, exaggerating military merits was common and it was a common practice.

How many beheads and how much victory or defeat is obviously not the focus of Liu Xie's attention. What he cares about is whether these armies can protect enough people as much as possible to return. In the eyes of this young emperor, quality does not matter, quantity is the most important, and the more people, the more peace of mind, the more complicated people are, the more likely they are to cause chaos, which is ignored by him.

Liu Xiexin was satisfied and patted the desk: "Okay, you all return safely, please congratulate me, and summon all the officials and discuss the proposal of going east."

In the imperial meeting, there were actually only two questions: one was who took the water route and who took the land route; the other was the issue of grain and fodder distribution.

The Liaodong army ships had a limited load. When they set out from Liaodong, they were basically full. They went south all the way, and people ate horses and chewed. When they approached Luoyang, nearly one-third of the food and grass had been consumed. A canal ship was empty, which was just enough to carry the emperor, harem, officials, guards and palace servants. Needless to say, the rest of the army was naturally on land. There was no objection to this point. The focus of the dispute was that Dong Cheng and Li Le insisted on adding some of their own troops to the emperor's guardian army, and they could not be completely covered by your horse.

Dong Cheng had some officials support, while Li Le had the support of the main force Bai Bo Army. Although Ma Han had ships and food, there were people, but he was not easy to break up for the first time.

Finally, with the mediation of Yang Biao, Liu Ai, Fu Wan and others, Ma Han agreed to divide 300 places, or cabins, so that the two of them could share evenly. The General Ma Han left behind 100 light cavalry, 100 infantry, and 100 auxiliary soldiers, marched by land, and escorted the military funds seized from Li Jue's camp. The Bai Bo army must ensure the safety of the White Wolf Army and military funds.

The distribution of grain and fodder also arises between the White Wolf Army and the Bai Bo Army. The Bai Bo Army has never been engaged in production and is capable of placing bandits and placing them. They cross the Yellow River to serve the king, win first and then lose, and lose again and again. The already small amount of supplies, food and grass have been almost lost. Seeing that such a big financial lord as a Marine descended from the sky, how could he not yell at the slaughter of oil and water?

Liu Xie was also in a dilemma. He also understood the principle that the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers. When Bai Bo's army crossed the river, he sent people and grain, which was a timely help. He was always grateful. Unfortunately, the emperor of the Han Dynasty had no money and grain rewards, and only the short official titles could be rewarded. Although he has dropped a large amount of money and grain out of thin air, these materials are not as good as the emperor. These days, food can be used as a hard currency for gold. How can he open this mouth? He could only turn his eyes to the emperor behind the screen.

Princess Wannian whispered a few words to Zhao Yingzi, who was accompanying him. Zhao Yingzi then turned out the screen and whispered to Ma Han to convey the princess's meaning. Ma Han pointed it to know. Then she cleared her throat and glanced at Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai, Qubei and others' faces, and stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand hu of corn, mixed beans and wheat, there's no more."

The generals of Bai Bo looked at each other. All their soldiers and horses totaled only six or seven thousand, and ten thousand hu of corn, beans and wheat, which was enough to support them for more than a month. It was already good to be able to get so many for the first time. Once this hole was opened, it would be easier to deal with in the future...

Ma Han looked calm. As he expected, the reason why he quarreled with Bai Bo's army was to let the other party understand that food was not so easy to ask for. Bai Bo's army was like a vicious dog, unable to feed or be hungry, so that he could drive him to bite the target.

The allocation was completed and the plan was decided. At noon that day, the Liaodong Army fleet was loaded with the last essence of the Han Dynasty and marched eastward.

...

Just as Yang Feng and other Baibo generals were happily unloading tens of thousands of hu of grains and transporting them back to the camp happily. When the army was over and about to withdraw from Hangu Pass east by land, dozens of miles away, south of Caoyangting on the south bank of the Yellow River, Li Jue's camp among the three camps of the Xiliang Army that stretched for several miles was shrouded in a bleak cloud.

General Li Li of the West, led only two entourages to an inconspicuous camp, bowed and said respectfully: "Li Li greets sir."

A slightly hoarse voice came from the tent with a metal texture: "It's Yimin, please enter the account."

Li Li, who has always been proud of his contributions and has always been accused of being a follower of Li Jue, has always been above the top in the Xiliang army, said extremely respectfully: "Li is here to apologize to Mr. On behalf of his uncle, he regrets not listening to his words and letting the emperor return to the east, and even today's disaster."

The gentleman was silent for a while, and his unique voice sounded again: "Don't mention the past. Now that Liaodong's tiger descends to the sky, the emperor's return to the east is a foregone conclusion, and I can't do anything... Well, is it that the Grand Sima wants to plan the Liaodong army?"

Li Li sighed sincerely: "Sir, I am a god! On the eve, hundreds of cavalry from Liaodong attacked the camp, with both men and horses and armor, and arrows were not cleared. The prefect of Liaodong Ma Han was extremely brave and brave, and one cavalry was the first... Our army has never suffered such heavy casualties. Xiliang'er Lang, ten stops have gone to four stops. My uncle has cut off one of his precious swords, and the central army's tent has almost been broken up... My uncle has sworn that he will never return to Chiyang if he does not avenge this revenge..."

The gentleman interrupted: "Although there are not many Liaodong troops, they are extremely elite. This is completely different from the Baibo army. If I expected it, the combat power of the two battalions of Liaodong troops should be above the four Baibo army and the Huns, while the three armies of Xiliang were incompatible. If the Grand Sima raised troops because of his anger, he might not be able to say anything."

"Li also feels the same, but my uncle is angry and can't persuade him, so he asks for advice."

The gentleman remained silent.

Li Li repeatedly begged: "For the sake of thousands of dead Xiliang's sons, please wait for me. Li Yi will give a good message to the teacher in front of his uncle, and will not let him leave any trouble."

The gentleman said lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since that's the case, Xu will offer another strategy - you can attack the Liaodong Army at night!"

Li Li was surprised: "Didn't sir just say that he would raise an army in anger, but it would only lead to defeat? Why..."

The gentleman's tone was confident and confident: "Ma Qian has already guarded the emperor to sail east. Our army has no warships, so even if we catch up, it is helpless. But he left half of the battalion of troops and horses to protect and seize our army's baggage. This half of the Liaodong Army can be annihilated!"

Li Li was happy and worried: "If we can annihilate and take back the baggage, our army will be revitalized, and our uncle can also explain to his subordinates. However... these half of the Liaodong army and baggage are all surrounded by Baibo Legion, and there are Huns patrols outside. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

The gentleman said lightly: "When Baibo's army and the Xiongnu crossed the river and attacked our Xiliang army sideways, it defeated our army. Their situation was the same as the Liaodong army the day before yesterday. But have you ever seen Dong Cheng, Song Guo, and Fu Wan's army grateful to them?"

Li Li was not stupid either. Once reminded, his eyes lit up: "Sir, will the Bai Bo army and the Huns stand by and watch?"

"Whether to stand aside, look at the attack route - break in between the two Baibo military camps at night and send cavalry envoys around the camp, claiming that they were just to seek revenge of the Liaodong army, and they had no intention of becoming enemies with Baibo. With the decline of the new defeat of the Baibo army, Yang, Han, Hu and others would not fall into danger for the Liaodong army, and they would definitely not dare to go out to assist the camp." The gentleman's metal voice exuded a trace of killing aura, "The most critical point of this plan is to not use too many people and horses, and it is better to use 500 to 800 cavalry. If there is less, it will be difficult to completely wipe out the Liaodong army. If there is too much, it will cause uneasiness and suspicion among the generals of the Baibo army. Remember, remember."

"Sir, a clever plan!" Li Li was overjoyed and bowed deeply, "Li gave thanks to Mr. Li on behalf of his uncle."

After Li Li left, the tent was silent for a long time, and a long sigh came from: "The emperor was in the east, the west was in a cold, and the whole thing was lost. Li Zhiran, Li Zhiran (Li Jue), I have finished my benevolence and righteousness. In the future, I should also plan for myself and my tribe members..."
