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

This girl was one of the two sisters of Zhen’s young girl who Ma Han saved on the banks of the Hutuo River that day, that is, the “fourth sister” who didn’t speak much but always bit her ears with her sister.

Although Zhen Yan secretly annoyed his sister's reckless behavior, he was already standing in front of him. If he didn't introduce it, he would be even more rude and could only say to Ma Han: "This is Yan's fourth sister, Ming Rong, and she has not finished her name yet."

The girl's beautiful face turned red, she looked at her brother, bowed to Ma Hanfu, slowly retreated, and hid among the flowers and trees. After disappearing into the sight of everyone, she lifted her skirt and ran away in panic. Zhen Rong blushed and ran away because of the elder brother's words "No words".

When a woman in the Han Dynasty was fifteenth, she could get married by the word "father" (if she had no father, she would be the elder brother). This is how the so-called "waiting for the word "in the boudoir" came from.

Zhen Yan's eyes seemed to be looking at the direction where the fourth sister escaped, but in fact he glanced at Ma Han intentionally or unintentionally, but what he saw was the young man nodding to the fourth sister. After a faint glance, he immediately withdrew his gaze, but he saw no strange colors.

Zhen Yan's eyes flashed with a strange look. He has always been very proud of the appearance of his sisters. Most of the powerful families in Jizhou are Mu Ai. The three sisters who have not yet been married, including the youngest, have countless requests to visit Dan. The young commander of the county outside the border is not silly. It is indeed not simple.

Ma Han is not lustful? Of course not, it’s just that he has seen a lot. Not to mention the visual bombardment of many beauties in later generations, even in Bailang City, there is also a Li Ji, who is stunning. Although the Zhen girls are beautiful, they are still inferior. How can they pretend to be Zhu Ge? Well, maybe the youngest girl in Zhen can be compared when she grows up.

In the magnificent but simple Zhen Mansion, Ma Han met Zhen Yu and Zhen Boya, the contemporary head of Zhen family.

This is a middle-aged man who is about thirty years old, with a handsome appearance and a gentle elegance between his eyebrows. According to the average lifespan of the Han Dynasty, thirty years old can indeed be considered a middle-aged man.

The guest and the host greet each other and sat down at the table.

When Zhen Yu learned about Ma Han's identity, he was shocked. He first expressed his gratitude to Ma Han for helping him, killing the thief to save his sister, and even more thanking him for visiting. After being polite, he praised the elite of the Wolf-Tooth Flying Cavalry and introduced the topic to Ma Han's purpose of his trip without revealing any trace.

"Previously, when the Zhen clan members went to Liaodong to go to the merchants and traded with Zhuhu, they heard the rumors about the deeds of the Duke and were famous in western Liaoning. They knew that Bailang City must be a powerful soldier in the world, and what they saw on the banks of the Hutuo River. It was indeed true. Such a powerful and powerful entourage in the world can go there. It is no wonder that they can travel thousands of miles from western Liaoning to Zhongshan... Haha!"

Who is Ma Han? I knew that Zhen Yu had been going around in circles and wanted to figure out the purpose of leading more than 100 elite cavalry soldiers and generals to trap the ship to the point. If I don’t explain it clearly, I guess the next conversation will be gone, and I will be fine. He has no time to make this boring thing.

In fact, Ma Han did not intend to hide it, because he now planned to help Yuan Shao, and Zhen was undoubtedly on the side of Yuan. Even if Ma Han didn't know what the relationship between Zhen Yuan would have in the future, he would definitely be sure and affirmed. Between Yuan and the Heishan Army, Zhen would stand on the side of Yuan's side. This is its inevitable class attribute and will not change due to any external force. Since we are in the same camp, what else can we say?

"A certain general, a hundred cavalry, wanted to help Duke Yuan, invite him to attack Heishan and attack the Nine Gates, can he do it?"

Is it? It's so great! The Zhen brothers were very surprised. You should know that Jiumen is only more than thirty miles away. When you climb up and look up, you can even see the smoke and dust rolling up from the Huqi whistle. If it weren't for the water span and the war was about to come, the Heishan Army would not be able to rush out, and Wuji City would have been besieged by Huqi. Because of this, Wuji City was both shocked inside and outside, for fear of the failure of the Yuan army. There is no doubt that once the Yuan army and the Heishan Army lose in the joint battle, the Huqi lords of Jiumen will definitely cross the water to attack the city and plunder all directions. The Zhen family's property is not only in the county town, but also in large areas of fields, manors, barns, and corrals outside the city. Even if the fort is protected, they will suffer heavy losses.

The Zhen family had nearly a thousand private soldiers, excellent armor and hundreds of good horses. The strength of the clan soldiers was still above the soldiers of Wuji City. But even with such a strong force, he would never dare to provoke Heishan. Heishan's 100,000 revenge is not a joke. But if there was an external force who was willing to stand up for them, it would be great.

The Zhen brothers were overjoyed and flattered: "The Duwei's move shows that the heroes are no wonder that their reputation is spread in Liaodong, and the Hu Hu heard the news and fled far away. Gongsun Xiang of Youzhou was afraid of the Hu Hu, but now the Duwei has replaced him. He is young and heroic, and he is full of cavalry and will achieve great achievements in the future..."

...

"You are young and heroic, and you will be able to achieve great things in the future! What does brother really say?"

Just in a double-storey building not far from the main hall, the three sisters of Zhen's family who were not yet married were sitting next to each other, listening to the maid's words that he heard from the servants and repeated.

"Yes, the most." The maid nodded as if a chicken pecked at the rice.

Zhen Qin (real name Dao, because of Ji Ji, the name Qin) is the "three sisters" who talked to Ma Han on the banks of the Hutuo River that day (who mistakenly became the eldest sister in the previous article), tilted her head, recalled carefully, and murmured: "It is true that you are young and heroic; it is true that you are a wise horse, it is true; will you achieve great achievements in the future... Liaodong Cavalry Commander, the guardian of Bailang City... Where is Bailang City? Who has been in the clan?"

The fourth sister Zhen Rong thought about it and shook her head: "The eleventh brother in the second room has only been to Liaodong, never to western Liaoning, nor to Bailang City. I just heard that there are many miscellaneous people there, which is very chaotic."

The young girl Zhen Luo blinked her big watery eyes and smiled, "Didn't the Eleventh Brother tell me that last year, this Ma Duwei fought a war in western Liaoning, drove away a Wuwan King and seized several cities. At present, all the Huhus in western Liaoning are afraid of submission."

Zhen Qin yelled: "Then he must not be afraid of the Hu people in the Nine Sects..." Then she sighed again, "It's a pity that he only has twenty cavalry, too few..."

Only a few brothers from the Zhen family who led the three hundred cavalry came knew about the news that Ma Han led the three hundred cavalry. If the whole family knows everything about it, would it really be that the Black Mountain Army is in the wrong place?

Zhen Rong seemed to remember something, his eyes bent into crescent moons, and he covered his mouth and smiled: "Three Sister, this time, Brother Eleven has told you about a marriage. You are not happy, saying that Liaodong is not a handsome man. Look, isn't Ma Jinglong a young handsome man? He is wearing a deep dress and has a moderate manner. He is no worse than those young masters in the turbid world. I think, the second young master of the Gongsun family in Liaodong may be really good."

Zhen Qin bit her red lips: "If the second son of the Gongsun family is half heroic, I would be very happy..."

"Then why don't you let your elder brother agree to you to Ma Jinglong! The matter is not decided anyway." Zhen Rong laughed and his bright eyes flashed.

Zhen Qin sighed quietly: "I heard from Brother Zhong that the clan elders meant it. It seemed like they agreed... Alas! It's a thousand miles to go to Liaodong. I have to float on the sea and sail. How could they bear to send me so far..."

Zhen Rong and Zhen Luo both showed sad faces. Zhen Luo gently held the jade arm of his third sister and whispered: "I heard from my mother that the downtown is turbulent today, and the wars are frequent, and there are dangers everywhere. There are dangers in the Hutuo River that day, and there are disasters in the nine gates of Huqiu. There are Huqiu at our doorstep, and we are worried all day long. Liaodong is located in the corner of the sea. After years of peace, there are almost no worries about war. Although my sister married far away, she can keep her life safe. What my mother hopes most is that our sisters are safe..."

When Zhen Luo said this, tears streamed down, and the three sisters hugged their heads and cried because they remembered the fate of their eldest sister again.

Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of Zhen, married a large clan in Qingzhou, but when the Yellow Turbans were in chaos last year, she was killed by the Yellow Turban thieves who broke into the fort and were insulted and humiliated by the Yellow Turban thieves who broke into the fort. Their situation was extremely miserable. This incident deeply stimulated Zhen and made them understand the truth that they had to hold their thighs in troubled times. For Zhang, the mother of the five sisters, the simplest idea is, as long as the daughter is safe, no matter where she married. When it comes to peace, today, there are only a few corners, such as Jingzhou, Yizhou, Hanzhong, Liaodong... History has proved that only Liaodong is the only one who truly has peace in the world.

Zhang may not know the general trend of the world, nor the direction of history, but with the intuition of a mother, she sent her daughter to a place of true peace.

The sisters of Zhen are both happy and sad, but the discussion in the main hall has come to the main topic.

The Zhen brothers agreed to temporarily close the ferry terminal, specifically allow the Mahan to garrison the troops, and strictly keep it confidential. At the same time, they provided a level of application between Mahan and 300 cavalry, including Mahan, and there will be other replies after the matter is completed. Mahan promised that if the Hu soldiers attacked the extreme, they would be assisted; at the same time, Mahan assisted Yuan to attack the Hu of the Nine Gates, and did not involve Zhen, which means that this was his personal behavior and could not implicate the Zhen family.

In addition to the current cooperation, the two sides have also entered into a long-term cooperation. Ma Han proposed to establish a business name in Liaodong, collect materials from various tribes, and acquire them uniformly by the Zhen family, which is beneficial to both parties. For Zhen, there is no need to go deep into the Hu tribes, beware of the Hu people's intentions when they see money, turn against each other at any time, and lose money. There are also horse thieves and robbers who have been eliminated in Liao, which is a big trouble for business travelers. For Ma Han, this is equivalent to opening up a business road. With his reputation among the Hu people, no tribe dares to come and worship them without hesitation. Collecting these goods is definitely good and cheap.

The future of Ma Han knows the most. However, in an era without faith, a strong and prestigious leader determines the cohesion of an army; while the economic foundation determines the combat effectiveness of an army. Only with cohesion and combat effectiveness can one become a strong soldier. Bailang City must have its own source of wealth and its own way of raising soldiers, and must not let Liaodong get stuck.

Two hours later, Ma Han and Xiahou Lan, with satisfied gains, left the mansion with a smile.

Zhen Yan sent her out of the mansion on behalf of her brother. After seeing them off, she looked at them and walked away. When she turned around, she saw her young sister Zhen Luo standing in the curved corridor not far away, biting her lips, and looking hesitant.

Zhen Yan approached and said, "Do you want to thank him personally?"

Zhen Luo nodded, and he was still not allowed to speak.

Zhen Yan smiled faintly and said, "There will be a chance in the future." He put something in Zhen Luo's hand, gently stroked the little girl's hair, and turned around and left.

Zhen Luo opened his crystal clear and red jade palm, but saw a jade pendant engraved with the word "Zhen" and shining brightly - it was the token he gave to the young commander.
