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

On the ninth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Jian'an, Yecheng was broken; on the tenth day of the day, Yuan Shang died.

At the end of May, Ma Han returned to Luoyang, and members of the military observation team also returned to their respective garrisons. Ma Han also reported that Dong Zhao was the prefect of Wei County, stationed in Yecheng, and coordinated the Jizhou strategy. Pang De was appointed as the cavalry commander and assisted him.

In early June, the new prefect Feng Ji and the cavalry commander Shen Rong, took Yuan Shang with him and his seal and ribbon to Julu, Zhao, Changshan, Zhongshan and other counties and states to surrender to the remaining tribes of the Yuan family. Yuan Shang was dead, and each county and state in Jizhou had only two choices: either surrender to Yuan Tan or surrender to Ma Han.

Anyone can see that Yuan Tan's power is declining and the Yuan family has no hope. Even if they surrender to Yuan Tan at this time, they will eventually be unable to escape the fate of surrendering to Ma Han. Since this is the case, why not get a good position in one step and get a good position sooner?

Driven by this mentality, within one month, the above four counties and states were all surrendered. By the end of June, except for the Anping and Qinghe countries occupied by Yuan Tan, the rest of the counties and states in Jizhou had surrendered. Under this severe form of forced force, Yuan Tan could no longer sit still and sent Guo Tu to Luoyang to test Ma Han's attitude and had the conditions to surrender.

Yuan Tan's condition was that the governor of Jizhou, Guo Tu was the other party and retained 10,000 private soldiers.

Ma Han only agreed to let Yuan Tan choose one county or prefecture or prime minister except Wei County. Guo Tu also handled the matter accordingly, and the number of private soldiers could not exceed one thousand. Of course, if he was willing to work in Luoyang, it would not be less than two thousand stone high-ranking officials.

The conditions of the two sides were too different, and they failed to reach an agreement for a while and fell into a deadlock.

Guo Tu did not rush back to Qinghe, but stayed in Luoyang, taking advantage of the remaining reputation and connections of the Yuan family to operate secretly, hoping that the east would not be bright in the west.

Ma Han ignored Guo Tu's every move and the actions of the former official of the Yuan family in Luoyang, he had Hawkeye's responsibility and Ma Han's energy. He began to turn to Bingzhou.

In mid-July, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Xiliang troops had arrived in Hedong. Xu Huang and Ma Chao's Dragon Wolf Mountain Army were also ready.

Three days later, the Battle of Shangdang broke out.

Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked 10,000 Xiliang troops from Linfen; Xu Huang and Ma Chao attacked 5,000 Longlang Mountain Mountain Army from Anyi and launched an attack on the senior officials who were entrenched Shangdang. The prefect of Hanoi also sent troops to restrain him. He was also responsible for the logistics support of the two armies. In addition, Zhang Yan, the Heishan Army, also led 20,000 troops to approach Huguan, and then forced the senior officials to divide the troops.

Shangdang is located in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains. There is a Huguan in the east, which is a man who is at the gate and cannot be opened by tens of thousands of people; there is a Tianjing Pass that is as narrow as Tingjing in the south; there is Fen River to the west, which is divided from the Qinshui River and Taihang remnants from north to south; only from Taiyuan to the north, there is barely a road to reach. In other words, it is easy to attack from north to south (that is, from Taiyuan to Shangdang), but it is difficult to attack from south to north.

There were not many soldiers and horses from the high-ranking officials, and the two counties combined only more than 10,000 troops. However, they were guarding the dangerous situation and stationed the troops at two passes, blocking several armies of Zhang Yan, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao and Xu Huang. They fought for more than a month, but they did not advance in an inch.

The high-ranking official shouted proudly, "I have ten thousand troops, natural dangers, a huge pass, a million food and fodder, even if there are 100,000 dragon and wolf, what can I do to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt from the blue came from Taiyuan County behind Shangdang - the Dragon Wolf Army had captured Yuci. The troops surrounded Jinyang and cut off the food route from Taiyuan to Shangdang.

The high-ranking government was stunned. Where did the Dragon Wolf Army come from?

The answer is Youzhou Dragon Wolf Rising Wind Army.

When the three armies were suddenly under the dangerous pass, Xun You found a breakthrough through military chess deductions. He immediately reported to Ma Han, suggesting that Zhao Yun's Dragon Wolf Rising Wind Army cross the Taihang from Jingxing Pass in Changshan, raided Taiyuan, and broke the deadlock.

Almost when Xun You's letter of advice arrived in Luoyang, Zhao Yun's urgent message was also placed on Ma Han's desk. The letter said exactly the same as Xun You's proposal, and they all sent surprise troops from Jingxing Pass and gave high officials a heavy blow.

Xun You relied on his keen strategic thinking, while Zhao Yun was a Changshan native and was familiar with geography, so he was able to see through the opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Ma Han held a book in one hand, looked left and right, and smiled and said, "Zilong, Gongda, both literary and military, are heroes, and they all have similar views."

At the end of August, Zhao Yun personally led 2,000 cavalrymen, including the powerful brigade in western Liaozhou, the Xiongqi of Youzhou, the Yicong of the White Horse, the Huqi of Wuwan, and the Jizhou cavalry. Such a mixed and elite pure cavalry team, in addition to the horses, the only one in the world can command freely.

Two thousand cavalry and three thousand horses, seven days and six nights, quickly passed through the Taihang Hengduan Xingkou and suddenly appeared under Yuci City. When the defenders were stunned and had no time to close the city, thousands of cavalry rushed to Tu and seized the city in one fell swoop. Then the troops divided into two groups, attacking the Taiyuan County capital Jinyang, and intercepting the Taiyuan-Shangdang Grain Road.

The appearance of Zhao Yun's Dragon Wolf Rapid Wind Army is like people sealing a door and window. The strong walls of the house are defended by a wild wolf, which suddenly slipped in from the chimney, causing all defenses to lose their meaning. If they are not withdrawn in time, there is even a danger of being swallowed up.

The senior official scolded the Prime Minister of Changshan for shamelessly surrendering to the enemy, exposing his flanks, while he was far away from the mountains, and the news was lagging behind, so that he had serious defenses and holes without knowing it. But what's the use of cursing even if he was dry? In the end, he had to throw away the piles of supplies and the millions of food and fodder he had in his mouth, and withdrew his troops from both passes with tears.

Huguan and Tianjing Pass were immediately occupied by Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Zhang Yan and others. Although Shangdang still had complex terrain to rely on, it was meaningless to defend it. The high-ranking officials led the army to retreat in a hurry and fled to Jiexiu (i.e. Jiexiu) in Taiyuan in one breath.

That night, the five thousand army that escaped Shangdang was attacked by more than a thousand cavalry.

"When I heard the sound of hissing outside, I thought it was raining heavily, so I quickly woke Erdan up and took out his tent to collect his clothes. As a result, he was shot into a straw man target as soon as he lifted the curtain..."

"The captain asked us to fight back, but when we held our bow and looked out, we saw a series of phantoms blowing like the wind and unable to aim at it. On the contrary, our brothers who were protruding were shot and killed by arrows..."

"The general put together a cavalry of more than 100 people, opened the side door of the camp, and wanted to attack and disperse the enemy cavalry, but he only escaped back more than 20 cavalry. I heard that they had killed some enemies at first, but later they were unlucky and ran into a team of white horses..."

This is how Zhao Yun led more than a thousand dragon and wolf storm troops to attack the high-ranking officials at night, defeated the enemy camp, and captured more than 3,000 Yuan troops. The prisoners communicated with each other in the prison camp. Their general Gaoguan ran westward under the escort of dozens of entourages at night, fled to the Xiongnu territory of Xihe County.

Xihe County is one of the base camps of the Southern Xiongnu. In order to avoid the expansion of the war, Zhao Yun did not continue to pursue it, but only reported the situation to the court. Whether to fight or avoid it is left to the court or the lord to decide.

In fact, the Huns were more eye-catching than Zhao Yun imagined. Before the court could reply, the Right Virtuous King of the Southern Huns sent an envoy to send a big gift - the head of the high-ranking officials.

This can only say that high-ranking officials are seeking death. The Hu people are the most convinced of their strength and are not interested in any famous families or the Chenliu family. A stray dog ​​like the high-ranking officials cannot bring any benefits at all, but will only bring endless risks. How could the Huns do such a high-risk, zero-reward thing?

So the Right Xian King forced the high-ranking officials and his entourages to get drunk at the welcome banquet, and they made a comeback one by one, and then gave the head to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun ordered people to pick this head above the wooden banner and circle the city three times, and the Jinyang defenders were silent.

The next day, the south gate of Jinyang opened, and Taiyuan prefect Xia Zhao took the seal out.

Gao Gan died, Taiyuan surrendered, and the Yuan family in Bingzhou was uprooted.

When the war report was sent back, Ma Han kept silent and reported the victory to the court. When he met Guo Tu, he did not mention this matter specifically. At the end of September, Guo Tu probably received Yuan Tan's reply and took the initiative to ask for Ma Han, expressing his willingness to accept the previous conditions.

In early October, Guo Tu traveled to Hebei with two appointment letters, namely the Prime Minister of Anping and the Prime Minister of Qinghe.

In mid-October, Yuan Tan formally surrendered to Han Rong, the governor of Jizhou, who was sent by the court, and the Yuan family's rule in Hebei ended.

Yuan Tan surrendered as in history, but his target was changed from Cao Cao to Ma Han, but one thing has not changed, that is, his surrender was a choice made under pressure, and he was not willing to accept it. So, half a year later, Yuan Tan took advantage of Ma Han's expedition to the south and transferred a large number of troops to the south. Jizhou was empty, and he conspired with Guo Tu to launch a rebellion.

But before Yuan Tan and Guo Tu could rebel, they were assassinated by two envoys from Luoyang who came to convey the holy intentions in the church. Before the rebellion was carried out, they had a miscarriage.

When these two assassins named Shi A and Tian Chou returned to Luoyang and handed over to Jia Xu, who was the Shangshu Ling at the time, Jia Xu said lightly: "A jackal without claws can be restrained by a guest."

It took only half a year to kill Yuan Shang, knock down high officials, and forced Yuan Tan to surrender Yuan Tan, and the battle was brilliant.

The court was full of joy and encouragement, and the emperor Liu Xie was even more energetic than eating half a box of fairy pills. After the court collaborative discussion, almost all of them passed and promoted Ma Han to the general and Martial Martial Arts.

The general, the highest military position of the Han Dynasty, commanded the soldiers and horses of the world. In the Han Dynasty, this position was usually held by the first relative of the foreign affairs. Ma Han took this position, and his military merits and status were well deserved. Therefore, the court, whether it was supportive or opposed to him, had nothing to do with him as a hero.

Ma Han's title was Xiangping Hou. Although he was also the highest-level county marquis, Xiangping was far and poor, and it was not comparable to the counties in the Central Plains. So where is the martial arts? Just west of Chang'an, it is under the jurisdiction of You Fufeng, one of the three auxiliary officials. From this title, it can also be seen that Liu Xie and the princess (of course, the Wannian Princess) have good intentions: to destroy the Yuan family and unify Hebei, it can be called a great martial arts; the Fufeng Ma family is a peerless talent, and is returning to their hometown. Wugong Hou is just right.

From a fleeing soldier seven years ago to a general seven years later, Ma Han interpreted the legendary rise from a soldier to a marshal. This is not the end of his legend. In the future, he will also move from a legend to a legend...
