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

At the end of October, a series of wars that had always been peaceful in western Liaoning stirred up the entire Youzhou Governor's headquarters in the Han Dynasty, especially the vassal states of Liaodong, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang and Shanggu counties.

The cavalry commander of Liaodong County led the guards of the White Wolf City, and joined forces with the Xianbei Suli tribe in Liaoxi to capture Pinggang, the old nest of Wuyanpan, who had been under the control of Wuwan Khanlu King, overnight, captured and killed more than 5,000 people, and robbed hundreds of thousands of cattle, horses, camels and sheep. Wuyan only led less than 100 cavalry to flee, temporarily living in Dai County, hiding under the wing of Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. Pinggang City was occupied by Suli. This was not over. On the same day, the white wolf chief Tian Yu led a thousand cavalry and infantry troops to attack Wencheng, where the Wuwan Nengchen tribe was located. When the two sides were fighting, the Xianbei Mika tribe suddenly broke out from the rear of the Wuwan people, attacked the Wanwan clan, and defeated the Wanchen clan. The Wanchen tribe was killed in the chaos army, and the property of the people was divided by Tian Yu and Mika, and Wen became the owner of the Mahan.

Ma Han's series of dazzling actions were completely beyond the expectations of the Liao forces. No one expected that a new force with only a thousand troops under his command could bring the old warlord Wuyan, a warlord, to the sky!

Ma Han's ruthless move seriously damaged the interests of Wuhuan in the three counties, but Tadun, as the leader of the alliance, did not have any practical actions except sending an envoy to Bailang City to protest. There are many reasons for this: first of all, the weather is that Tadun will not risk being blocked by heavy snow at any time and launch a war against Bailang City; secondly, the combat power of Bailang City cannot be underestimated, and there are also Xianbei helpers in the Liaoxi; then. Ma Han's reputation and courage also made Tadun afraid; finally, and the most important point, Ma Han attacked Wuyan not to provoke, but to revenge. Who asked you Wuyan to attack Hange Village first? On the grassland, there is a battle of revenge. No one dared to speak out and occupy a good reputation. Therefore, Tadun's envoy did not even dare to condemn, but just protest.

The Huwuwan lieutenant's Office also received a written explanation from Tian Yu, although there was no reply. There was even news that it was intended to be unfavorable to Bailang City, but the Huwuwan lieutenant's Office immediately calmed down after a domineering attack on Pinggang. However, a few months later, the new Huwuwan lieutenant (historical has changed, no longer taken over by Yan Rou) and the Youzhou Governor Liu Yu sent a group of envoys to mediate the dispute between Bailang City and Wuyan's army. Ma Han, who had eaten it, was naturally happy to see it. The strong demand for Wuyan to return Pinggang was to give Suli a headache. Isn't it just for them to bite each other in the future?

The one who is most satisfied with is Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong. This horse man is really a nail that has been stolen. No, it’s simply an awl. As soon as he threw it into western Liaoning, he stabbed a big hole. However, this hole was well pierced, and he didn’t need to repair it anyway. Just poke it hard! It hurts the chrysanthemum of Wuwan people, so that he won’t have the idea of ​​attacking him in Liaodong.

Ma Han's thunder strike satisfied his superiors, frightened his enemies, and restrained his evil neighbors. His own benefits can be said to be a one-shot victory.

When Ma Han led his army to escort more than 2,000 prisoners, driving away more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses he had obtained after the stolen goods, and returned to Bailang City for only two days. The heavy snow fell from the sky. Overnight, the snow was thick, the mountains were thick, the valleys were closed, and the river surface was frozen. The shock caused by Ma Han was also frozen due to the blizzard, and everything stopped temporarily.

...

At the end of the third year of Chuping (192), after the snow was clear, the thick clouds rarely leaked a few rays of sunshine. The snow melted a lot, but the road was still covered with thin ice, and it slipped when you stepped on it. After the snow, it became colder. Although the cold wind was not as cold as the ice snatched skin a while ago, it was as uncomfortable as ice needles pricked the skin.

Just when no one wants to leave, Ma Han and Taishi Ci led a team of white wolf cavalry to the west coast of Liaodong Bay. This place is less than a hundred miles away from Wencheng. If the snow melts, the horse will be almost half a day away. Taishi Ci originally visited Wencheng with Ma Han, but unexpectedly, in the twelfth month of the winter, the city guard was so interested. He ran a hundred miles away to see the sea.

But...where is the sea?

The whole eye is covered with whiteness. To put it nicely, it is called silver-covered, but to put it bluntly, the yellow dog's body is white, and the white dog's body is swollen. The sea is also frozen.

On the coast of Liaodong Bay, every twelfth lunar month, there will be sea ice and thick ice layers that stretch for miles or even dozens of miles. Especially on the west coast, it can even be used as a battlefield to bring out thousands of troops to fight.

The most important reason why Ma Han resolutely took Wencheng, in addition to eliminating his worries and rebuilding the western Liaoning Iron Triangle, was to open up the sea route.

From Wencheng along the Fengda River, it went south for more than 30 miles, and then turned east. Less than fifty miles, it was the west coast of Liaodong Bay. On the sea not far from the coastline, there was an island group with an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers. The main purpose of Mahan this time was to see this island. In the eyes of Taishici, Tian Yu and others, a small island that was insignificant was crucial in Mahan's eyes. He must personally go to the island to investigate and understand clearly so that he can decide his next plan. Because this island is Juehua Island, the largest island in Liaodong Bay.

Juehua Island is a name in later generations. It was not called this name in the Three Kingdoms era. Mahan asked the locals because there was a peach forest on the island, so the locals called it Peach Blossom Island. Except for animals such as birds and snakes, no one lives there. The island is about fifteen miles away from the land. If it is a fast horse galloping, it will arrive in a moment. However, it is cold and cold now. If it is wading on ice, it is best not to ride a horse, otherwise it will be easy to break the hoof.

Ma Han and his party had tied a circle of straw ropes to their boots, which could increase friction and not easily slip. In fact, according to Ma Han's meaning, if he was the only one, he would rather cut two skateboards and slid on the ice. Isn't this flat horse a natural ski resort? It can still be reached in a moment, not inferior to the galloping horse. Unfortunately, he is the only one who can skate. Taishici and others have never seen this thing.

Fifteen miles away, but it is difficult to travel on the ice. The Shanghai wind blows strongly, and it whips hard on the face like a whip dipped in water. No matter how thick oil is applied to the face of Ma Han and others, the cold wind is still pouring into the gaps in the robe, and it is blown so hard. According to Taishi Ci, his face is not his own.

It took an hour to travel to the island. At this time, the world was so stern, so you can’t think of peach blossoms. There were some locust trees, pine trees, mulberry trees, elm trees, etc., which were all done at this time.

As soon as I climbed the island, the feeling of Mahan was that the island was indeed very large, almost up to ten White Wolf City. The island was long gourd-shaped, with wide ends at both ends, narrow in the middle, and headed to the southwest, twelve miles long, two to seven to eight miles wide in the north and south. There was a thin valley in the middle, which divided the island into two halves in the east and west, large in the east and small in the west. The eastern half was steep, mostly cliffs, and a peak with an altitude of nearly 200 meters, which was the Dajia Mountain of later generations. The western half was hilly and mountainous area, and there were stone reefs standing along the north sea of ​​the ridge. The southern hill of the mountain was rugged and rocky, with reefs standing along the north sea of ​​the mountain.

Mahan is quite satisfied with the western half. It is suitable for building a hidden barracks here, and a mooring entrance can be built on the beach. If you take a boat south from here, you can enter the Bohai Bay from Liaodong Bay, and then land from Huangxian in Laizhou Bay, which is Taishici's hometown. You can avoid You and Jizhou, go directly to Qingzhou, and go deep into the Central Plains.

Ma Han narrowed his eyes. He could not be isolated from the Central Plains for a long time. Like Gongsun Du, he was isolated for a long time and became a turtle. He no longer had the intention to win the world. He just hugged in a corner of the map to have fun. In the end, he was still being dealt with by Sima.

In fact, it is not because Gongsun Du is not ambitious. This guy was blocked by two great men, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. Unless you can beat them, you will be honest and unified. You can't come to the Central Plains.

Ma Han faced the same situation as Gongsun Du. His way to the south was also blocked, and it was worse than Gongsun Du. He had more troops than him. Since the land route was blocked, he would take the sea route, and this road was more convenient and took shorter. The road was walked out by people, so Ma Han didn't believe it. With his understanding of the earth, these two goods that only know the world were blocked!

Ma Han thought about the plan to break the barriers. When he turned his head, he saw Taishi Ci standing on a reef with a high ice surface, letting the sea breeze hit the surface, silently looking into the distance.

Ma Han jumped onto the reef and stood side by side with Taishici: "Are you missing home?"

Taishi Ci blew out a mouthful of mist, squinted her eyes, and she became a little red. She didn't know if it was the wind or what, but her voice trembled slightly: "Where the sea and the sky are at the end of the sea, my family is left behind for three years, and only the family Ci and the old servants are left. The bandits in Qingzhou are rampant and the war is in chaos. I don't know how they have been doing these years... Ci is not filial!"

Ma Han patted his shoulder: "Ziyi will go back. If it is appropriate, maybe I will look at my aunt with you."

Taishici looked at Ma Han in surprise, his mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but he finally refused to say anything.

Ma Han said in a deep voice: "I hope you can understand two things. One is that Bailang City is my Mahan's Bailang City. Gongsun Envoy can only put a flag on the top of the city, and nothing else can be done. Second, every mother hopes that her son will return in glory. The longer she leaves home, the more she should present surprises to her parents."

After Ma Han said that, he turned around and jumped off the reef, waved to the surrounding white wolf cavalry: "Let's go, Yu Wencheng."

"City Guard!" Taishici suddenly turned around, with a firm expression, as if he had made some major decision.

Ma Han raised his hand to stop him from speaking, took out something from his arms, raised his hand and threw it towards Taishi Ci.

Taishi Ci reached out to take it with him in a daze. When he turned his wrist, he saw that it was a copper talisman. The "White Wolf Camp Cavalry Sima" and several Han Li were very impressed.
