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

"Mr. I really want to bear this general?"

Under the moonlight, Princess Wannian drank against Ma Han, and Niannu held a pot to serve.

Ma Han said calmly with a slight sense of indifference: "The general needs to match the corresponding strength. If he is not strong enough, what if he is called a general? Yuan Benchu ​​looks at Hebei and looks at the world. If I hold this general and take a broom and cherish it, not only will I offend all the heroes, but I will not have any benefit... For a mere name, I will give up real benefits. I, Ma Han, will not do such a thing..."

It was the consensus between Ma Han and Jia Xu that he persuaded the emperor to signify Yuan Shao as a general. With Yuan Shao’s preference for fiction and the benefits of grain, he believed that Dong Zhao’s mission would be successful. Ma Han is not interested in the highest title of this general at present. Because he stayed in the West for many years, his value orientation is more important than fiction.

In history, after the emperor returned to the east, two people couldn't wait to put the general's hat on their heads, but the ending was more ridiculous than the other.

First of all, Han Xian, a guy who was the leader of the bandits a few months ago, after entering Luoyang, he relied on his merits and forced Liu Xie to make him the general. He really perfectly interpreted the idiom: be in the monkey and be in charge. This "general" who can command the world's troops can really be used, but he has thousands of bandits under his command. When Cao Cao played a trick on his way to hide the world and robbed the emperor, the leader Han was instantly defeated and returned to Henan. He could only run south in a mess and surrender to Yuan Shu.

The second is Cao Cao - it seems that every warlord who holds the emperor, no matter how strong he is, stares at the radiant hat with greed. Cao Cao had just moved all the emperors to Xudu, so he was granted a title of official position. He honestly and unceremoniously put on the crown of the general, and then named Yuan Shao the Grand Marshal. Although the Grand Marshal was the leader of the three dukes, he was under the general. With Yuan Shao's character and his strength at that time, how could he accept it?

Yuan Shao immediately refused to accept it and sent an envoy to threaten it. As a result, Lao Cao was timid - there was no way. Although he thought he was thick, he could definitely not twist Yuan Shao's thigh. In the end, he obediently gave up the title of general and picked up the captain of the Taiwei with his nose.

With Cao Cao's domineering aura, coupled with the wonderful plans of the four great strategists around him, but under Yuan Shao's powerful military pressure, such a big embarrassment came out, which proves another truth - in the face of absolute strength, all kinds of strange plans are all over the clouds.

If Ma Hantang really wants to grab this hat, the result will be no different from the above two. Although he does not understand the history of this corner, it does not prevent him from making the right choice between him and Jia Xu. It must be admitted that Ma Han's current comprehensive strength may be better than Cao Cao, but there is still a gap compared to Yuan Shao. If there is one person in the world who can be called a general, it must be Yuan Shao. Ma Han is willing to be a wolf that endures dormant and let Yuan Shao be a tiger that is highly anticipated.

Princess Wannian, who knew the character of Ma Yan, smiled and said, "In the mind of the Langjun, the title of this general is not as valuable as the rice of a hundred stones. Well, with Donglai's grain to replace the valley of Wei County, he can give 10% of the profit. Only Langjun can come up with such wonderful ideas."

Ma Han smiled and said, "It's still the princess who knows me..."

When the emperor and the ministers heard this idea, they mostly thought it was from Jia Xu's suggestion, but in fact it was purely original by Ma Han. This actually contained an economic theory, and this was not Director Jia Xu's strength.

At that time, Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, the governor of Qingzhou, had defeated Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, who was named Gongsun Zan, and occupied the plains. Jinan and Le'an also surrendered one after another. Yuan Shao's power had advanced to the Beihai, across the sea from Donglai. The grain transport from Donglai to Le'an was only a hundred miles away, and compared with the transportation of grain to Luoyang, I don't know how much it was closer.

Liyang in Wei County is bordered by the Yellow River. If you first stockpile the stored grain from Yecheng here, then transport the grain, go up the river and transport it to Aocang, Xingyang, only more than 200 miles... How much time, manpower, material resources and consumption will be saved? You must know that transporting grain from Donglai to Luoyang, transporting 10,000 hu of grain and fodder will cost at least one third of the road, even the most economical water transportation. In comparison, giving only 10% of Yuan Shao is really a big advantage.

With a 10% advantage, plus the title of general, and the subtle position in Liaodong (on the back of Yuan Shao's archenemy Gongsun Zan), Yuan Shao and his advisers would agree as long as their heads were not clamped by the door.

Thinking that the most troublesome food problem was expected to be solved, Ma Han was drunk before drinking, but unexpectedly, Princess Wannian said a word that shocked him and sweated.

"A guest visits during the day. Do you know who it is?"

"Are you visiting you? You are not the wife of the minister or the daughter of the nobles. I wouldn't know you?"

"It's Wen Ji, Cai Wen Ji, the husband has been asking around, so he won't know each other, right?" Princess Wannian looked smiling.

Ma Han woke up in a moment of wine and looked at Princess Wannian in surprise.

"Cai Zhonglang has only two daughters, one is Zhao Ji, who married Wei Zhongdao, the son of the Wei clan of Hedong. In less than a year, Zhongdao died of illness and returned to Chang'an. The other is Mingji, the sister of Zhao Ji, who married Yang Qian, the prefect of Shangdang. None of the two daughters is named Wen Ji. I wonder if Wen Ji, whom the husband inquired about, is he sister or sister?"

After Princess Wannian said something, Niannu who was standing beside her covered her mouth and smiled, turning her face away, unable to bear to be embarrassed when she saw Ma Han.

No matter how slow Ma Han is, he will understand. It turns out that Cai Zhonglang is Cai Yong! So, Zhao Ji is his daughter and once married to the Wei family in Hedong. Who is Wen Ji, who is not the famous Wen Ji in history? If Ma Han knew that he had been smeared by Sima Zhao, who had not yet been born, I wonder if he would blow up his son Sima Yi's balls - I'll let you be born, be honest as a sperm!

Cai Zhaoji, who had never known her name in later generations, was named Wen Ji. The reason why she was famous for her forever was all the good things done by Sima Zhao, a treacherous hero who usurped the Wei Dynasty. After Sima Zhao ascended the throne with Jin and ascended the throne, he naturally played the most arrogant method of the monarchs of all dynasties - avoiding taboos.

What is taboo? To put it bluntly, I am the emperor. My name is only allowed to be called, and no one in the world can call this name. Oh, not only the people in the world, but even the ancients who have become ancient people cannot call this name. Therefore, if there is Sima's name, there is no Cai's name. Even the famous Zhaojun was changed to a wise king. However, the word "wise king" also violates the taboo, so it was changed back in later generations.

Ma Han didn't know how to understand so many twists and turns, but he ended up asking Wen Ji in front of Zhao Ji. Fortunately, no one knows who Wen Ji is in this era. Otherwise, it would be a big joke.

After understanding the whole story, Ma Han sighed again: Zhao Ji is Wen Ji, it's so great! Since she is under her wings, the tragedy of history will not happen again.

Princess Wannian was originally a little strange and alert. What is the reason why the husband was so concerned about this mysterious "Wen Ji". But after looking closely, there was nothing else on the husband's face except to be relieved. It was really strange, so he smiled and said, "Don't you want to ask Cai Zhaoji what's important to ask?"

Ma Han was not fooled, so he stretched out the wine Jue and let Niannu fill it. He waved his hand: "It's better not to say anything that has nothing to do with me."

"Who said it's related to the husband."

Ma Han was bringing Jiu Jue to his lips, almost choking. He said with a slight gaze: "Princess, don't joke."

A smile appeared on the corner of Princess Wannian's mouth, and then said seriously: "I'm serious. The Cai girl asked you for help. But she was not convenient to find you. She found me - she wanted to ask the husband to give her a token and let him go out of the Yiyuan Pass to bury Cai Zhonglang's coffin."

Ma Han said in surprise: "Does she want to go back to Chenliu's hometown? Then you have to go to Hulao Pass, how can you go to Zhuyuan Pass?"

The Wannian Princess looked grim: "A few days ago, Cao Mengde's army surrounded Chenliu Yongqiu, slaughtered Zhang Mengzhuo's family, and the common people in the city were all gone. Imagine that her daughter's family would dare to go east? The daughter of Cai only said that her father once said that Yingchuan was outstanding and powerful, and wished that his soul would be here, so he set up a Fengshui treasure land in Yangdi. If he could not return home, he would be buried here."

Ma Han nodded: "This is a major human relationship, how dare I stop it? I will send the pass sign to Cai's house tomorrow..." Speaking of this, Ma Han suddenly realized something, kept silent, thinking about something.

Princess Wannian and Nian Nu looked at each other, not daring to speak or act, for fear of disturbing him.

Ma Han seemed to think of something, his eyes gradually shone, and he came back to his senses, smiled at the two girls Zhan Yan, and said something that made the two girls stunned: "Anyway, the Liaodong reinforcements and Donglai reinforcements will not arrive at the end of the month. It's still quite idle during this period. Why not go to Yingchuan and take a look and send Cai Zhonglang's coffin by the way."

...

"The lord wants to go to Yingchuan? It would be fine if it was a few months earlier. If you go again at this time, it might be inappropriate."

The person who said this was Jia Xu, who was located in the Central Army Commander's Office.

Before Ma Han asked, Jia Xu said again: "Xu also knew that the lord's trip was to visit the wise. If the lord's talents were ten, seven or eight were in Yingchuan. With the lord's status, he was to select wise men for the emperor, and he would have gained something. He also went out of the lord's pass and entered Yingchuan County. He walked more than 200 miles along the Ying River and arrived in Yangdi. He went back and forth for only a few days. If it were a few months earlier, the lord would not speak, and Xu would also advise the lord to go south to Yingchuan and pick up the lord's talents in the wild, but..."

"It's just that Cao's army has defeated Pingyu and occupied Runan, and looked at Yingchuan, right?" Ma Han directly expressed Jia Xu's worries.

Jia Xu nodded: "The military newspaper shows that Cao's army has the intention of looking north, and Pingyu is only 500 miles away from Yangdi. Although Cao's army may not dare to invade Yingchuan and attract criticism, the lord's body is ten thousand yuan, so it is not advisable to stay in a dangerous place."

Ma Han smiled and said, "We all know that Cao Cao dared not enter Yingchuan. That place is too sensitive and can easily touch the nerves of the scholars in the world. Moreover, Cao Cao understood even more that it was the military buffer zone between him and our Liaodong Army. Once the Cao army appeared in Yingchuan, it means that the troops could be at the foot of the Zhuyuan Pass at any time. If so, our Liaodong Army would never sit idly by. From this point of view, I bet that Cao Cao would not cause trouble. This trip to Yingchuan seems dangerous, but it is actually very safe." Ma Han also added in his heart: Otherwise, how could I let Zhaoji come out of the pass?

Jia Xu no longer advised him. As a counselor, he had already said what he should say, just do his best, and whether to adopt the meaning of Ma Han. Jia Xu is not the kind of person who strongly advises him, and he also admitted that Ma Han's analysis was reasonable, and this trip seemed dangerous and safe. However, as a counselor, he had to consider various possible situations, make the worst plans, and work hard to the best.

"It's decided that when I'm not here, the military affairs will be entrusted to the military advisor. It will be seven or eight days fast, and ten days slow, and you will definitely return." Ma Han stretched and looked south with expectations, "Yingchuan, I hope you don't let me down."
