~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Li Le has seen Ma Han's power with his own eyes, and even Xu Huang dared not to snatch him, let alone him. At the moment, no matter how stupid Li Le is, he knows that he has fallen into the trap. As soon as his figure moved slightly towards the door, Ma Han has already stepped to block the way, raised his finger to his chest, and shook: "It's useless..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Le suddenly turned, his arms widened and rushed towards Ma Yunli, who actually played a trick to attack the east and west, trying to use Ma Yunli as the qualifying.
Ma Yunlei still knelt down, as if he was stunned, but just as Li Le's fingertips put on her shoulders, his shoulders suddenly sank, he lifted his arms with one hand, and followed the trend - Li Leruo's big body rubbed by her side, and threw his hands and feet towards the sky with a thump.
There was a commotion outside the house. After a while, someone carefully asked through the door: "General, general, is there anything wrong?"
Unexpectedly, even a woman could not beat her. Li Leqiang suppressed the feeling of vomiting blood and said in a silence: "...It's nothing!"
Ma Han said lightly: "I said it, it's useless."
Ma Yuntu bowed to Marhan's head and said, "I'm lucky to be unfair to my fate." He stood up calmly, walked slowly, hid in the shadow of the inner room, and did not glance at Li Le from beginning to end.
Li Le struggled to sit up, panting, staring at the calm face in front of him, and hissed: "It took only half an hour from deciding to running to the West Courtyard. I don't believe you will react so quickly, unless you have been waiting here for a long time - I just want to know, is this God's will or is it a scheming?"
Ma Han squatted down slowly and looked down at the unwilling face. He said, "Is this very important? Whether it is God's will or calculating, I am already standing here."
"Yes, it's very important." A strong hatred flashed in Li Le's eyes, "If you tell me, then I will do what you want."
Ma Han smiled and clapped his hands.
As the applause sounded, a figure slowly moved out of the inner room and bowed to Ma Han from a distance: "I have seen the right general." After hesitating, he bowed to Li Le again. "I have seen the general..."
Li Le's eyes turned red and his teeth were chewing: "Li——Qi!"
This person was Li Qi who instigated Li Le to hijack the princess. His intention was self-evident when he appeared here in this way.
Li Le's voice of grinding his teeth was particularly terrifying in the darkness, and Li Qi's body trembled uncontrollably.
"Ma Jinglong, I'll make a deal with you." Li Le's eyes were burning with rage, and he pointed at Li Qi suddenly. "If you use him to exchange for 800 surrendered soldiers, will you do it?"
Li Qi was shocked and knelt down: "Right General, you have agreed..." Before he finished speaking, his throat was strangled by a big hand, his tongue was spit out, his eyes turned pale, and he couldn't breathe. Li Qi twitched for a while and slowly fell down. At the moment when he lost consciousness, he heard a desperate voice: "Trouble! He is yours."
Liu Xie and Zhu Chen, who were waiting extremely anxiously, finally waited for new news. The news came in two: one bad news and the other good news.
The bad news is that General Anji Dong Cheng was hit by a ravage in a conflict with Li Le's troops and died on the spot. This news shocked all the court officials, and the emperor even cried bitterly. The news reached the harem, and the nobleman Dong fainted on the spot.
Great sorrow is not over, and good news comes one after another: the right general and the prefect of Liaodong, the strange army of the army suddenly surrendered, and killed Li Le, who was plotting against his subordinates in one fell swoop, and the crisis was lifted. When the ministers heard the news, they all celebrated each other. Everyone felt that the big rock in their hearts fell to the ground, and their backs were a little straight. This is not to say that Ma Han is so popular, but the most important thing is that Ma Han is their big money owner now! Their salary, to be precise, is entirely due to the payment of the Liaodong princes. If he never returns, he will have to drink the northwest wind.
Next, another amazing news came, which was mixed compared with the first two news.
The internal strife of the four Baibo camps at Hangu Pass was settled, and the result was speechless: the four Baibo generals, Han Xian died, Song Guo threw the west, Yang Feng disappeared, and Hu Cai died of Zhou Cang. The latest news is that Xu Huang collected all the four Baibo remnants, and obtained a total of 2,000 troops, reorganized and divided them into two battalions to defend Hangu Pass; Zhou Cang led 800 surrendered soldiers from Li Le's troops, and then drew 200 elite troops from the Liaodong army's infantry camp to form a thousand-man army, stationed at Xiguomen; Wu Zhui led 300 light cavalry and bow cavalry to patrol Dongguomen.
Finally, the right general Ma Han led 200 squadrons and more than 100 heavy cavalry to defend the emperor. After Dong Cheng's death, his subordinates handed over to Fu Wan's two sons, Fu De and Fu Ya, and the two were also granted the positions of left and right generals respectively.
To be honest, Fu Wan's family is not as good as Dong Cheng in leading troops. But whether it is the old Han Dynasty or the current chaos, the emperor Liu Xie can trust him, except for the relatives. And also the relatives of the outside world, Ma Han, the prospective brother-in-law, is the most worthy of relying on in Liu Xie's heart.
After the turmoil subsided, all officials and ministers from Yang Biao and other officials realized a fact with great clarity: From then on, a new powerful man was about to rise, and he gathered relatives, princes, and powerful ministers in one piece. Looking at the entire court, no one could control it.
The new appointment and commendation of the emperor quickly proved this point: Ma Han was promoted to General of the Guard, Kaifu, and was appointed as the lieutenant of the Si Li, and was appointed as the marquis of the military advisor. Jia Xu was appointed as General of the Military Advisor and was granted the title of Marquis of Lie; Xu Huang was promoted to General of the Five-Secret General of the Army and the title of Marquis of Duting; Wu Zhui was promoted to General of the Qilang, and Zhou Cang was still the General of the Charge Lang, and the two generals were promoted to General of the Ting Hou.
General Wei was the fourth in the Han Dynasty. If Liu Xie had not been concerned about Guo Si's chariot and cavalry general and Zhang Ji's cavalry general, Ma Han could at least advance one or two more. Compared with General Wei, the Sili lieutenant was a big difference. This was not big, just two thousand stones, but it was a typical position and weight. He supervised all officials in the capital and the three servants (Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng), Sanhe (Hedong, Henoi, Henan) and the seven counties of Hongnong. Similar to the National Security Bureau and Cia, it is an extremely important position. Dong Zhuo once called it a "heroic position", which shows that it was obvious.
The false ritual is not much different from the false ritual, and the establishment of the government is even more meaningful. The Han Dynasty originally had only three dukes and the general could open the government, but the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty was chaotic and many things were not taken into consideration. For example, Li Jue once opened the government with a general of chariots and cavalry. The establishment of the government showed that Ma Han could establish a government office and select his subordinates. Although Ma Han had done this long ago in Liaodong, he was a court official in name, and everyone had a superior-level relationship. The establishment of the government meant that the court recognized his aides, which were completely different in nature.
After Ma Han returned, he immediately ordered all the stored grains on the ship to be transported north of Luoyang and stored in three newly built large granaries. This move was not to relieve the emperor and the ministers, but also made the army happy. Ma Han now had nearly 5,000 troops (including the Bohai Army), most of them were newly surrendered soldiers. If they wanted these people to obey orders and not cause trouble and rebellion, there was only one way to meet their most basic needs - to serve as soldiers and eat food.
Whether it is the Qiang and Hu soldiers or the Baibo army, what they need is to eat enough, followed by rewards. Rewards are only possible if they can fight and win. On weekdays, they only expect to eat enough and not deduct food and salary. As long as Ma Han can do this, it is hard to say whether these surrendered soldiers can work hard on the battlefield, but at least there is no big problem in keeping the pass.
"Our army is not strong enough at present - I mean reliable troops. The food is only enough to last until spring, but the river is about to freeze, and the soldiers from Liaodong and Qingzhou cannot be transported. At least we have to survive this spring."
In the tent of the Central Army Commander of the Mangshan Camp, Ma Han looked around Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Wu Zhui, Han Xi, Jia Cai, Jia Mu, Jia Fang, Jia Ji and other generals and staff, and told him frankly. He wanted to make his subordinates understand the current situation.
Jia Xu obviously bet on this general of the Guard, and he did not hesitate to bet on all his wealth, and sent his brother and three sons, Gunao to Ma Han. To a certain extent, this was also considered a proton. Ma Han naturally appreciated it, with Jia Cai as the household, Jia Fang as the scribe, Jia Mu as the governor, and Jia Ji as the military supplies. They were all safe and well-off positions, and they were full of envelopment.
Jia Xu said: "Because Xu Zhonglang timely purged the riots and completed the defense, Li Jue and Guo Si had no choice but to take advantage of it. In the twelfth lunar month, glaciers blocked the valleys, and within at least three months, Li and Guo Erni dared not look east. In this way, military expenditures during wartime should be saved. In addition, we can ask the emperor to issue an edict to order the princes from all directions to pay tribute, and we should gain something."
Ma Han nodded. Jia Xu's proposal was good. Among the princes in Luoyang, there were at least three places who were capable and could pay tribute. They were all in the north: Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong, and Zhang Yang, the prefect of Henoi, have always been quite respectful to the emperor. The emperor issued an order to give tribute and would have won a prize. In addition, Yuan Shao of Jizhou has always cherished his reputation, and the emperor would respond to the emperor's edict. As for Yanzhou, he was fighting so hard that he would not expect it.
At this time, Jia Cai, the servant, asked, "I wonder what the emperor has to do for the renovation of Luoyang?"
Ma Han smiled faintly: "The emperor is still very considerate of us ministers in this regard. He only requires that one palace and two side halls be built within the year, and that there is a decent place for court discussions."
Jia Cai said: "Repairing the palace must at least be done after the beginning of spring. As long as the grain from Qingzhou is sent in time, the construction will be started on time."
Ma Han nodded and said, "This matter will be a blessing in Wenhua."
Zhou Cang suddenly said, "I have five hundred gold and ten pieces of good cloth in my tent, all of which were forced to me by Fu Junhou and Dong Cheng. I will hand over it, and I can even pay a hundred hu of rice and grain."
Ma Han smiled and said, "Why did I hear that there is another girl from Dong's clan coming?"
Zhou Cang smiled and said, "Where did the Dong clan girl come from? She is just a palace maid. Dong Cheng is an old killer. If it weren't for Hawkeye's detective, she would have almost become fooled by this old killer."
Everyone smiled.
Ma Han smiled and said, "It's great if you have this intention. Keep these gold and silk by yourself. In the future, there will always be powerful people who will grant you the daughter of the clan. These gold and silk are the congratulations I gave in advance."
Amid the laughter, everyone dispersed, and Ma Han left Jia Xu alone.
Ma Han pondered for a moment and said, "The four Baibo enemies have left three, and only one Yang Feng is left. This man is a root of disaster and cannot be left in the army. But I have agreed to Gongming and will not hurt his life. I believe that Gongming has sent him to cross the river and return to Hedong at this time. What I am worried about is whether he will take over the Baibo remnants of Luohedong and rush into Luoyang to cause trouble for us while the river is frozen?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said two words simply: "No!"
While Ma Han talked with Jia Xu, Xu Huang was sending his former boss Yang Feng on a small boat on the edge of the Yellow River dozens of miles away. The general who had been seated with thousands of soldiers the day before yesterday, but now there are only four entourages, and his desolation is a pity.
Yang Feng finally clasped his fists heavily: "The righteousness of Gongming, Yang Jiganming is within five, and you and I will have a date later."
Xu Huang clasped his fists and returned the greeting. His mouth moved, and finally sighed and looked at him with his eyes.
When the boat arrived at the heart of the river, several entourage looked at each other, and one of them asked carefully: "General, where are we going?"
"Baibo Valley!" Yang Fengheng looked at the direction of Mangshan and gritted his teeth, "I, Yang Ji, have never suffered such a big loss. This time I was too unfair. I don't want to speak out, I'm not a human being! Ma Han, wait, when the river water freezes, I want you to know how powerful I am..."
Puff! A piece of knife that was brighter than snow and colder than ice emerged from Yang Feng's chest, and hot blood beads slid from the tip of the knife. Before it landed, it condensed into snow beads...
Yang Feng's eyes were angrily raised, and he turned around with difficulty. A familiar voice from his subordinate came from his ear: "General, I'm sorry. Military Secretary Jia said that your head can be exchanged for 100 stone Liangmi and first-class meritorious service..."
Snow falls, and corpses lie across the boat. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
