Jushou knew about Liu Xin's recuperation policy, so he asked puzzledly: "Since Yuan Shu took the initiative to propose non-aggression, it was not exactly what the lord meant, why didn't Madam take the opportunity to agree to him?"
Ma Yun smiled and said: "Don't say it is an oral agreement, even if it is a treaty in black and white, it will be torn when you say it, and it is not accurate. Why is it too entangled? Since Yuan Shu took the initiative to propose it, it shows that he is more urgent about this matter. We can use this to gain more benefits. If we easily agree to him, it will let him see what we think, and there will be more troubles."
Jushou thought for a while, and it really turned out to be that way, he couldn't help but laughed, and said: "It's still the madam who is thinking for a long time, and the subordinates sigh."
Ma Yun waved his hand and said, "Yuan Shu will let it go for the time being. Let's discuss the rescue of Jangke County first. Since General Zilong has returned, please ask General Zilong to bring these five thousand people. After Xia Houlan brings back the troops from Wuguan, she will continue to reinforce her. You see, what is the arrangement like this?"
Zhao Yun pondered: "In this way, the entire Fourth Army, except for the 5,000 men and horses that Zhang Wenyuan brought to Xuzhou, all the rest were sent to Zangke County. The wife made such an arrangement, is it not only to defend Zangke, It’s about regaining the four counties of Central and Southern China in one fell swoop."
Ma Yun was slightly surprised. She did have this plan, but she couldn't make up her mind yet, so she didn't say it. She just transferred Zhao Yun's Fourth Army to Changke first, but Zhao Yun guessed it all at once.
After hearing Zhao Yun’s guess, Jushou quickly figured out what was going on, and said hurriedly: "Mrs. Qizhen, this is absolutely not the case. If you only deal with Yong Kai, Gao Ding and others, naturally you don’t need to spend a lot of time. But now Zhang Ke is facing a hundred thousand barbarians. These barbarians are actually just barbarian people. If a major event kills, I am afraid it will increase the conflict between the Chinese and the barbarians. Please think twice."
In fact, Ma Yun thought about what Jushou said just now. This is why she has been undecided to take action on the four counties of Central South. However, if she blindly defends, how can she dispel the ambition of the barbarians to build a country
Zhao Yun said, "Mrs. Qizhen, the policy of the Han Barbarian family implemented by the lord can completely dispel the doubts of the barbarians, but it cannot be carried out to the four counties of Central and South. If you can invite a man of honor among the barbarians to stand up, If the lord’s policy is preached to the barbarians, the four counties of Central and Southern China can be won without fighting."
Ma Yun nodded and said: "General Zilong makes sense. If he talks about prestige, Zhu Ding is qualified, but he is seriously injured now, but the influence of Fengyuan is limited to the area of Jingnan. I am afraid his words are from the four counties of Central South. I won’t listen. I really can’t find qualified candidates for a while.”
Jushou suddenly stroked his palm and said, "There is a person in the prefecture, animal husbandry mansion right now,"
Ma Yun's crooked eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and said in deep thought, "You said Zhu Rong,"
Ju Xie nodded: "Yes, the barbarians worship the god of fire, and after Miss Zhu is regarded as the god of fire, she has an irreplaceable position in the minds of the barbarians. I think this is also the reason why Meng Huo insisted on pursuing Miss Zhu and did not hesitate to fight for her. ,"
Ma Yun let out an "Oh" and said, "What you mean is to let Zhu Rong return to Zhongnan to promote the policies of the Hanman family. She is a girl after all. I can't rest assured that she should do such a dangerous thing."
Jushou smiled and said, "I wish the girl will not let her beards and eyebrows, she will be competent, but she will really make the trip, and she still needs to wait until the lord comes back."
Ma Yunqi said, "What does it have to do with Liu Xin when she goes to Zhongnan?"
Jushou suddenly hesitated, and said for a while, "Madam, I wish the girl a three-year agreement with the lord. Now the contract has expired. I wish the girl come in person. The lord should not miss the appointment. The lord implements the Hanban family policy and encourages Han-barbarian intermarriage, but do not marry a Han-girl with a barbarian man. Even if a Han-man is willing to marry a barbarian girl, there are very few, unless those who are too poor to open the pot and cannot marry a wife. I have never heard of a few gentry. People married a barbarian girl as his concubine,"
Ma Yun said in a deep voice, "Who said no, isn't General Dian's wife the daughter of the Barbarian family?"
Ju Shou said slyly: "After all, there are too few people like General Xu. If the lord can accept the girl Zhu as a concubine, and the girl Zhu returns to Zhongnan to show up, it will definitely do more with half the effort to promote the policies of the Hanman family."
If you face Liu Xin, Jushou will naturally say it without hesitation, but facing Ma Yun, Jushou is indeed a little hard to tell. After all, persuading a man to accept a concubine is completely different from the wife who persuades a man to help a man. There are two things, Jushou said, while peeking at Ma Yun, only to see that her face was calm, and then he relaxed a little.
Ma Yun understands that Jushou’s proposal is nothing more than a political marriage. This political marriage is not indispensable. At least Zhu Rong’s attitude is written on his face, sharing the same man with other women. For Ma Yun from later generations It feels a bit embarrassing, but the social fashion is such that she can't stop it, but she doesn't want Liu Xin to take the woman home one after another. Only then did she and Liu Xin make an appointment with three wives and four concubines, for Zhu Rong, a girl who doesn't care much. Ma Yun does not reject it, but she still doesn’t know what Liu Xin’s attitude is. Ma Yun knows very well that with Liu Xin’s character, he will never agree to link this kind of thing to politics, and she can’t help but hesitate to say:" This matter will be discussed later. At the moment, General Zilong is still invited to go to Zangke first. Don’t take the initiative to attack, but keep Zangke like an iron bucket and don’t teach Meng Huo to cross the thunder pond."
Zhao Yun handed his hand and promised: "The final will follow the orders of his wife, and there are finals. Whether it is Meng Huo, Yong Kai, or Gao Ding, he will be told that there will be no return. There is still something to report in the final. Speaking of, in addition to making Yuan Shu attack Nanxiang and Jiangxia, Cao Cao also issued an edict to Yan Baihu of Yu Zhang to attack Changsha. At the end of the day, he has not heard about Changsha. Didn't Yan Baihu accept the edict? In the end, he thought that when Xiahoulan’s people came, why not send them to Changsha just in case,"
The fact that Yan Baihu wanted to attack Changsha was also an official letter sent by Liu Xin from Chang'an. Ma Yun and Jushou only knew about it. They didn’t have time to send an envoy to Changsha to find out. Therefore, they didn’t know what it was. Happening,
Ma Yun nodded secretly. Zhao Zilong was really loyal and courageous. His trip to Dangke for reinforcements should also be difficult. If he can get the help of Xiahoulan’s 40,000 new troops, let alone defend Dangke County, even if he steps down the four central and southern counties. It’s not impossible, but Zhao Yun didn’t do this, instead, considering the safety of Changsha, he left the difficulties to himself.
Before Ma Yun could speak, he heard Zhao Yun continue to say: "Finally, I will go to Zangke this time with only 10,000 foot soldiers. Zangke Duoshan Forest and Jiangdong Duoheze are useless for cavalry in these two places. , These five thousand cavalry will stay in Xiangyang at the end to frighten the Xiaoxiao."
Ma Yun thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. In that case, I will ask General Dianwei to help you. General Dianwei has been to Changke County, and his wife is a barbarian woman. He goes with him and guards the stone. There is no big problem with Ke Jundang,"
Zhao Yun also smiled and said: "If there are five brothers with you, that would be great. The journey to Zangke is far away. It shouldn't be too late and will not dare to delay at the end. Let's leave, and ask my wife to speak to Zhuomai for you."
Although Zhao Yun, like Xu Huang, refused to call Liu Xin's eldest brother, and insisted on calling him his lord, the friendship between their brothers has increased unabated, and the others are still commensurate with brothers.
What’s more commendable is that Zhao Yun has been through the house twice and never enters. If he comes again, he will catch up with Dayu who controls the water. He returned from the front line of Wuguan last time and immediately went to Nanxiang and did not go home to see it. Look, this time I just rushed back from Jiang Xia, and immediately rushed to Zangke, too, too late to go home.
Ma Yun looked at Zhao Yun's hurried departure and nodded secretly. At first Liu Xin left Ma Yun alone in the river, and made a special trip to Changshan to dig Zhao Yun over. For this, Ma Yun almost suffered from Li Lin's Insult, thinking about it now, Liu Xin was really wise to do so at the time.
Jushou also praised from the side: "With people like General Zhao, why don't the lord worry about bad things?"
Ma Yun couldn't get up, frowning and said: "This time the Northern Expedition, in addition to facing the powerful Dong Zhuo, she didn't expect to have to guard against the Xiaoxiao gangsters like Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yan Baihu. Even the barbarians in the South China would rise up to rebel. , It’s just that we didn’t think well at the beginning and fell into today’s passive position.”
Jushou said disapprovingly: "The wise man must have lost everything, and that's nothing. Now that Dong Zhuo has been eliminated, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu have all come back in despair. General Zhao and General Dian will go to Kangke County. What a big wave,"
Ma Yun said with a sad face: "Liu Xin, he said rightly, this battle is very costly and we no longer have the strength to launch a big battle, otherwise, even if we win, our vitality will be greatly injured, but the tree wants to be quiet and windy. More than that, people like Yan Baihu, Liu Dan, Meng Huo, and Liu Fan will not give up. I want to send another person to Changsha to assist General Gan Ning. Mr. Ju may have a suitable candidate."
Jushou thought for a moment and said, "Sun Ce, who has just returned from the front line, should be able to take on this role."
Ma Yun hesitated and said: "Forget it, his mother came to me yesterday and wanted to propose him a marriage. Let him rest in Xiangyang for a few days. Let General Xu Chu go in Changsha. His father-in-law’s family is a big family in Changsha. It’s appropriate for him to go, but Changsha hasn’t had any news so far. This seems a bit abnormal."
In fact, Ma Yun also knows that Sun Ce is a more suitable candidate, but considering that he was originally under Yuan Shu in history, and later borrowed thousands of people from Yuan Shu, he even made a foundation in Jiangdong. Ma Yun really dare not put Sun Ce in Jiangdong. go with,
But Jushou was very confident in Changsha, and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, General Gan Ning is very knowledgeable. If Yan Baihu really dares to attack Changsha, he will definitely let people come back to report. How could it be possible that there is no news at all. According to his subordinates, I think that Yan Baihu was originally a bandit, and he might not accept the imperial edict. It is also impossible to say that he did not send troops to Changsha."
At this time, the general Gan Ning was kicking open the door of Yuzhang Prefect’s Mansion, and saw the figure in the door shaking. Without even thinking about it, Gan Ning swung out the big knife in his hand.
