Fu Zhu knew Liu Xin's policy of recuperation and recuperation, so he asked puzzledly: "Since Yuan Shu took the initiative to propose mutual non-aggression, it is not in line with the lord's intentions, why didn't Madame take the opportunity to agree to him." ”

Ma Yun said with a smile: "Don't say that it is a verbal agreement, even if it is a treaty written in black and white, it will be torn up, and it is not accurate, why be too entangled, since Yuan Shu took the initiative to put it forward, it shows that he is more urgent about this matter, we can use this to fight for more benefits, if we easily agree to him, it will make him see our thoughts, and there will be more trouble." ”

After thinking about it, it was really like that, and he couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's still Mrs. who is far-sighted, and her subordinates sigh to themselves." ”

Ma Yun waved his hand and said: "Yuan Shu will let it go for the time being, let's discuss the matter of rescuing Ke County first, since General Zilong has returned, please ask General Zilong to bring these 15,000 people first, and then continue to reinforce after Xiahou Lan brings back the men and horses of Wuguan, you see, how is this arrangement." ”

Zhao Yun muttered: "In this way, the entire Fourth Army, except for the 5,000 men and horses brought to Xuzhou by Zhang Wenyuan, the rest of the people were all sent to Qike County. ”

Ma Yun was slightly surprised, she did have this plan, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she didn't say it, but just transferred Zhao Yun's Fourth Legion to Qi Ke first, but she didn't expect Zhao Yun to guess it at once,

After listening to Zhao Yun's speculation, he quickly figured out the reason for this, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Qiyu, this matter must not be allowed, if you only deal with Yonghong, Gao Ding and others, you naturally don't need to go through a lot of trouble, but now Qi Ke is facing 100,000 barbarian soldiers, these barbarians are actually just barbarian people, if there is a big killing, I am afraid that the contradiction between the Han barbarians will increase, please think twice." ”

In fact, Ma Yun had thought about what she said just now, which is also the reason why she has not been able to make up her mind to do something to the four counties in central and southern China, but if she blindly defends, how can she dispel the ambition of the barbarians to build a country.

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "Mrs. Qiyu, the policy of the Han barbarian family implemented by the lord can completely dispel the doubts of the barbarians, but it cannot be implemented in the four counties of central and southern China. ”

Ma Yun nodded and said: "General Zilong is reasonable, if you talk about prestige, Zhu Ding is qualified, but he is seriously injured now, and the influence of Feng Yuan is only limited to the Jingnan area, I am afraid that the people of the four counties in the south of China will not listen to his words, and they really can't find qualified candidates for a while." ”

Fu Zhu suddenly stroked his palm and said, "There is one person in the state minister's mansion right now. ”

Ma Yun's two curved moth eyebrows frowned slightly, and she muttered, "You're talking about Zhurong." ”

"Yes, the barbarians worship the god of fire, and after Miss Zhu is considered to be the god of fire, she has an irreplaceable position in the minds of the barbarians, I think this is also the reason why Meng Shu insisted on pursuing Miss Zhu and did not hesitate to fight for her." ”

Ma Yun let out an "oh" and said, "You mean to let Zhu Rong return to Zhongnan to promote the policies of the Han Barbarian family, she is a girl after all, let her do such a dangerous thing, I really can't rest assured." ”

Fu Zhu smiled and said: "I wish the girl that she will not let her eyebrows be competent, but she still needs to wait until the lord comes back to make the trip." ”

Ma Yunqi said: "What does she have to do with Liu Xin when she goes to Zhongnan." ”

Frustrated Zhu suddenly hesitated, and said after a while: "Mrs. Hui, I wish the girl and the lord have a three-year contract, and now the contract has expired, I wish the girl to come in person, the lord should not miss the appointment, the lord implements the policy of the Han barbarian family, encourages Han and barbarian marriage, but does not want Han women to marry barbarian men, even if the Han family men are willing to marry barbarian women, there are very few, unless the poor are too poor to open the pot and marry a daughter-in-law, so far I have not heard of a few scholars marrying barbarian women as wives and concubines." ”

Ma Yun said in a deep voice: "Who said no, isn't General Dian's wife the daughter of a barbarian." ”

Frustrated, he said: "There are too few like General Xu after all, if the lord can accept the girl as a concubine, and Zhu girl will return to Zhongnan to show up and say, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort to promote the policy of the Han barbarian family." ”

If these words were in the face of Liu Xin, Frustration would naturally say it without thinking, but in the face of Ma Yun, Frustration was indeed a little difficult to speak, after all, persuading a man to take a concubine and persuading a man's wife to help a man take a concubine are two completely different things.

Ma Yun understood, the proposal of frustration was just a political marriage, and the political marriage in front of her was not impossible, at least Zhu Rong's attitude was written on his face, sharing the same man with other women, and Ma Yun from later generations felt a little embarrassed, but the social trend was like this, she couldn't stop it, but she didn't want Liu Xin to bring women home one after another, so she and Liu Xin made an agreement with three wives and four concubines, for Zhu Rong, a girl who has no heart, Ma Yun does not exclude, But she didn't know what Liu Xin's attitude was, Ma Yun knew very well that with Liu Xin's surname, he would never agree to link this kind of thing to politics, so she couldn't help but hesitate: "This matter will be discussed later, and at the moment, I still ask General Zilong to go to Ke Ke first, don't take the initiative to attack, but keep Ke Ke like an iron bucket, and don't teach Meng Ke to take a step beyond Lei Chi." ”

Zhao Yun bowed his hand and promised: "The last general will obey the order of the lady, there is the last general, whether it is Meng Shu or Yonghong, Gao Ding, all call him to have no return, the last general has a matter to report, just now the last general heard Mr. Fu said, in addition to making Yuan Shu attack Nanxiang and Jiangxia, Cao Ying also issued an edict to Yan Baihu of Yuzhang to let him sneak attack Changsha, the last general has not heard the news about Changsha until now, Yan Baihu did not accept the edict, the last general thought, when Xiahou Lan's men and horses come, why not send them to Changsha, just in case. ”

Yan Baihu was going to attack Changsha, and he also received an official letter from Liu Xin from Chang'an today, and Ma Yun and Fu taught them to find out, and they didn't have time to send a messenger to Changsha to find out, so they didn't know what the situation was there.

Ma Yun couldn't help nodding secretly, Zhao Zilong was really loyal and courageous, he went to Qike to reinforce this time, it should also be difficult, if he could get the help of Xiahoulan's 40,000 fresh troops, not to mention holding Qike County, even if he set foot on the four counties in central and southern China, it was not impossible, but Zhao Yun did not do this, but took into account the safety of Changsha and left the difficulties to himself,

didn't wait for Ma Yun to speak, but listened to Zhao Yun continue: "The last general went to Qike this time, only 10,000 foot soldiers can be brought with him, Qike is more mountainous and forested, Jiangdong is more Heze, and the cavalry in these two places is useless, and the five thousand cavalry accompanying the last general still stay in Xiangyang to deter the small people." ”

Ma Yun thought for a while and said: "What you said also makes sense, in that case, I asked General Dian Wei to help you, General Dian has been to Qike County, and his wife is a barbarian woman, with him going with him, there should be no big problem in guarding Qike County." ”

Zhao Yun also smiled and said: "If the fifth brother goes with him, it would be better, the way to Qike is far away, without further ado, the last general will not dare to delay, so he will set off, and ask his wife to say to the clumsy on his behalf." ”

Although Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, like Xu Huang, refused to call Brother Liu Xin anymore, and resolutely called him the lord, the friendship between their brothers continued unabated, and the other people were still called brothers.

What's even more commendable is that Zhao Yun has already passed through the door twice and did not enter, if he comes again, he will catch up with Dayu, he came back from the front line of Wuguan last time, and immediately went to Nanxiang, and did not go home to see, this time just rushed back from Jiangxia, and immediately rushed to Qike, and it was too late to go home.

Ma Yun looked at Zhao Yun's figure leaving in a hurry, and nodded secretly, Liu Xin left Ma Yun alone in the river, and he made a special trip to Changshan to dig Zhao Yun over, and Ma Yun almost suffered Li Lin's insult for this matter, now that I think about it, Liu Xin was really wise to do this at that time,

Fu Zhu also praised on the side: "With people like General Zhao, why should the lord worry about big things." ”

Ma Yun couldn't relax, frowned and said: "This time in the Northern Expedition, in addition to facing the powerful Dong Zhuo, I didn't expect to guard against Cao Ying, Yuan Shu, Yan Baihu and other petty people, and even the barbarians in Nanzhong would rise up to rebel, only to blame us for not thinking about it at the beginning, so we fell into today's passive situation." ”

Frustrated Zhu said disapprerovingly: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and that is nothing, now that Dong Zhuo has been removed, Cao Ying and Yuan Shu have all returned, and General Zhao and General Dian have gone to Qike County, and the barbarians in Nanzhong will definitely not be able to make any big waves." ”

Ma Yun said with a sad face: "Liu Xin is right, the cost of this campaign is huge, and we don't have the strength to launch another big campaign, otherwise, even if we win, we will definitely lose our vitality, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Yan Baihu, Liu Dan, Meng Shu and Liu Fan will not give up, I want to send another person to Changsha to assist General Gan Ning, Mr. Fu has a suitable candidate." ”

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sun Ce, who has just returned from the front line, should be able to take on this responsibility. ”

Ma Yun hesitated: "Forget it, his mother came to me yesterday and wanted to propose marriage for him, let him rest in Xiangyang for a few days, let General Xu Chu go over there in Changsha, his father-in-law's family is a big family in Changsha, and it is appropriate for him to go, but there is no news from Changsha so far, which seems to be a little abnormal." ”

In fact, Ma Yun also knew that Sun Ce was a more suitable candidate, but thinking that he was originally under Yuan Shu in history, and later borrowed thousands of men and horses from Yuan Shu, and actually built a foundation in Jiangdong, Ma Yun really didn't dare to put Sun Ce in Jiangdong.

Fu Zhu was very confident in Changsha, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, General Gan Ning is quite knowledgeable, if Yan Baihu really dares to attack Changsha, he will definitely let people come back to report the news, how can it be that there is no news at all until now, based on what his subordinates have seen, I think that Yan Baihu is a thief and grass coward, and he may not accept the edict of the imperial court, and he will not be able to say that he has not sent troops to Changsha at all." ”

At this time, General Gan Ning, who was quite knowledgeable, was kicking open the door of Yuzhang Taishou's Mansion, only to see the figure in the door shaking, Gan Ning didn't think about it, and waved the big knife in his hand.
