Xun Yu was strong and upright.
Xiao Bei was confident.
Cao Cao's determination.
The three people and three sentences terrified the entire hall.
Forget about the dispute between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Congrong Manor.
However, Cao Cao actually said that he was in charge of the internal affairs, while North Xiao was in charge of the external affairs.
It meant that he wanted to cut Xun Yu down and no longer control the Shangshu Department and the six departments. What kind of decision was this? What kind of determination!
"Prime Minister!"
Xiao Bei's scalp went numb as he said,"The matter hasn't reached such a serious stage yet!"”
"The general trend cannot be broken!"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with pain and struggle.
Xun Yu had followed him long ago and was in charge of internal affairs.
Wang Zuo's ability was displayed vividly. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was his right-hand man.
However, to him, Xiao Bei was even more important. He could not stop the general trend of pacifying the world, not even Xun Yu, this Wang Zuo!
"Ha!"
Xiao Bei could not help but laugh.“
"Sure!"
Xun Yu's gaze was stubborn.
Dong Cheng was dead, and Fu Wan was dead.
He also wanted to turn the tide. He either had to remove his seal and return to the fields or join the Cao Wei camp.
"Phew!"
Cao Cao heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Bei wanted to stay, but Xun Yu did not want to give up either.
The current outcome was already the best. At least, it could delay until the north was pacified.
"Da!"
"Da!"
"Da!"
Xiao Bei knocked his head and said in a low voice,"After the New Year, I suggest that we issue an edict to the Western Liang vassals to make Ma Teng the Marquis of Huai Li and appoint him as Wei Wei Qing. He will lead the Western Liang army to attack Shangjun!”
"Sure!"
Cao Cao nodded.
Xiao Bei said again,"Don't move the Valiant Cavalry Manor. The Soaring Eagle Manor is assisted by Gongda. He knows our strategy, so in February and March, the five battalions will be sent to East County. The Zhechong Manor will send 15,000 troops to Zhaoge!"”
"The Valiant Cavalry House is not moving?"
Cao Cao frowned and said,"Our army is only 100,000 in total. Yuan Benchu is now known as the 400,000-strong army!"”
"Prime Minister!"
Xiao Bei's eyes were long and narrow as he said strangely,"Back then, your 18 vassals attacked Dong and claimed to have an army of 300,000, but how many were there in reality?"”
Cao Cao's face turned red and he said shyly,"It's only an army of 200,000, and only 60,000 soldiers!"”
"Cough cough!"
Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and the others looked elsewhere.
Eighteen vassals attacked Dong.
They were also participants. Cao Cao's army was only five thousand.
Ten years had passed, and the sea had turned into mulberry fields. Now that it was mentioned, it was really a joke for future generations.
"Xinzhi!"
"How is your directorate?" Cao Cao asked.”
"Soon!"
Xiao Bei touched his chin and said in a low voice,"Hua Xin is the one who has been working hard on the directorate. I estimate that after the four northern provinces are settled, the Imperial College and other schools will be established. When the internal affairs of the four provinces are settled, we can hold an imperial examination to select officials for the Ministry of Personnel!”
"That's good!"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with gratification.
Xiao Bei said again,"The first general and the five good generals will be decided after the north is pacified!"”
"Sure!"
"When the time comes, just submit the name list from the Rong Manor!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.”
"Yes!"
Xiao Bei nodded.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and said solemnly,""At the beginning of next year, Xinzhi will be in charge of East County. March Gu will be sent to the south of the Yellow River. Wen Ruo still needs to work on the internal affairs.”
"Here!"
Xun Yu stood up and bowed solemnly.
Even so, Cao Cao still trusted him the most.
He was transferred out of the Rong Mansion's five battalions. The Suwei and Leopard Guards were in his hands. As long as he wanted to act in Xuchang, he could change his mind at any time.
"Disperse!"
Cao Cao rubbed his eyebrows.
"I will take my leave!"
The civil and military officials bowed and left the Prime Minister's residence.
Xun Yu looked at the scorching sun in the sky and said with a complicated expression,""Xinzhi, you are too confident. After the five battalions are transferred out, once the soldiers are sent to Xuchang, the city will be destroyed in an instant!”
"Wen Ruo!"
Xiao Bei stood side by side with him and said with a faint smile,"I believe in Pei Mao, I believe in Li Dian, and I believe in Zi Xu even more. I hope that after the north is pacified, you, me, and the Prime Minister can become an iron triangle where the military and the government support each other. Together, we will open up the era of Great Wei, and not have endless disputes like today!”
"Haha!"
Xun Yu laughed and walked away. He waved his hand and said,""That depends on whether you can convince me!”
"I will!"
Xiao Bei waved his hand.
Bringing Zhou Cang along, Ma Yun Zao headed towards Beishou Manor.
"The wind is blowing!"
Jia Xu's eyes were filled with worry.
Guo Jia looked into the distance and said in a deep voice,"We can't stop the general trend of pacifying the world. No one can stop the army of the Rong family. I believe that Xinzhi can handle everything. He said that Jing and Shu won't move, so they definitely won't move!”
"How confident!"
Jia Xu smiled bitterly.
Guo Jia pointed at the backs of the five battalions and ten generals and said in a deep voice,"Ask them if they believe it!"
"Perhaps!"
Jia Xu shivered.
He walked towards his mansion.
Xiao Bei's words were somewhat rebellious, and even Cao Cao's words today were the same.
If the north was really pacified, the political power of the world would probably usher in a major change. This was also the reason why the Imperial College did not exist in Xuchang for a long time.
The school was opened up.
It was completely different from accepting students.
This point, as a smart person, Jia Xu naturally saw it clearly.
December.
As the snow fell.
The Battle of Youji began, and Yuan Shao's three armies entered Youzhou.
Gongsun Zan had to defend against Gongsun Du's coup in Liaodong while also resisting Yuan Shao's attack. Naturally, he was forced to retreat.
The New Year had just passed.
Xiao Bei had already brought a portion of his troops to East County.
Puyang.
At the city gate.
Ma Yun Zao rode his warhorse and said with a complicated gaze,""You really want me to go back to Western Liang?"
"Not bad!"
Xiao Bei's eyes were filled with smiles.
"If I leave, who will drive your chariot?" Ma Yunzhao turned his head and asked.”
Xiao Bei looked at the generals beside him and said with a faint smile,"I'm the lord of the Rong family, so isn't it only a matter of command to drive the chariot?”
"Not bad!"
Zhou Cang, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, and the others replied.
"I'm a hostage. If you let me go back, how can you command Western Liang?!" Ma Yunzhao asked angrily.”
Xiao Bei looked in the direction of Ye City and said,"Yuan Benchu's three armies have already entered Guangyang County. I estimate that he will be able to pacify the Bei Four Prefectures in three months. Moreover, the imperial court's edict to Ma Teng has already passed.”
"I…!"
"Are we really going back to Western Liang?"
Ma Yun Zao muttered to himself in a daze.
When she first entered Xuchang, she had the intention to burn her bridges and think that she could deceive Cao Cao.
However, in just a moment, all his plans were destroyed by Pei Mao. In the future, he would always follow Xiao Bei. Now that he wanted to return to Western Liang, he felt a sense of reluctance.
"Let's go back!"
Xiao Bei took out a brocade bag from his pocket and placed it in Ma Yun Xin's hand. He said in a deep voice," Ma Teng and Ma Mengqi's lives are in danger. If there's a revolution in the Western Liang army and you're in danger of dying, you can open the brocade bag. There's a way for you to survive inside. If there's no revolution, you don't have to open it!”
"Good!"
Ma Yun Zao looked at the brocade bag.
He treated it like a treasure and kept it in his clothes.
"Go!"
Xiao Bei waved his hand and smiled.
"Miss, you're leaving!"
A servant hurriedly advised them, afraid that they would not be able to return to Western Liang.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Bei said with a deep gaze.
"Pa!"
Ma Yun Zao gritted his teeth and waved his whip.
He led a dozen Western Liang cavalry towards the northwest.
"Be careful!"
Xiao Bei waved his hand and shouted.
Ma Yun Zao carried a silver spear on his back and brandished his whip. With a heroic bearing, he shouted,""Xiao Bei, don't die in the Ji Prefecture. If you really pacify the four prefectures, when you attack the North Desert, I will continue to help you drive the chariot and destroy the Donghu three clans!”
"Giddyup!"
The soldiers chanted and the horses neighed.
The iron hooves swept up a stretch of yellow soil, filling the plains.
Screams suppressed the galloping sounds and echoed outside Pu Yang City.
"Xinzhi, enter the city!"
Xu Chu draped a cloak over Xiao Bei's shoulders.
"Yes!"
Xiao Bei turned to look at Xiahou Dun and said indifferently,"Yuan Rang, pass on the order to the Middle Territory Mansion to immediately send the Middle Officer to Pu Yang. I have important matters to arrange, and then order the Soaring Eagle Mansion to start moving!”
"Here!"
Xiahou Dun agreed respectfully.
As the commander of the first camp, he might be reckless, but he was not stupid!
Yuan Shao was going to pacify Youzhou and there would be a great war with Yanzhou.
This battle would determine who was the overlord of the north. Therefore, no one dared to underestimate this battle. The Rong Mansion, the Minister's Office, and the Brocade Guard were all operating to the extreme.
At the end of January.
Xu Huang led 500 soldiers from Hanoi to Dongjun.
At the same time, Xun You and Cao Ren led 15,000 troops from Tancheng and marched towards Langye.
At the end of February.
Ma Yun Zao had already passed through Beidi County.
He brought ten cavalry and appeared in Guzang.
After experiencing the war in Xu Prefecture and seeing the prosperity of Xu Prefecture, countless sorrows came to his heart when he returned to Western Liang.
"Little sister!"
Ma Chao shouted as he stood at the city gate.
Ma Yun Zao pulled the reins and dismounted.""Brother, where is father?"
"We are receiving guests in the residence!"
Ma Chao reached out to take the warhorse and said with a complicated expression,""Officials from the Ministry of Rites have come to Xuchang. My father and Uncle Han are receiving them. I heard that you were coming back today, so I went out to pick you up!”
"Are you here?"
Ma Yun Zao frowned.
" Yes." Ma Chao nodded." You're also in Xuchang. Why aren't you traveling with the officials from the Ministry of Rites?"”
"Me?"
"I didn't set off from Xuchang. Instead, I followed Xiao Bei to East County in advance. Then, I went from Si Li to Wuwei. It's been nearly two months!"”
Ma Chao's pupils constricted as he said in a low voice,"Xiao Bei is very famous. Is he as good at fighting as me?"”
"Eh!"
Looking at the sloppy Ma Chao, Ma Yun Zao said with a strange expression,""Brother, Xiao Bei is a scholar and a Confucian general. Without your combat strength, he won't even go to the battlefield. At most, he will draw his bow and shoot arrows on the chariot!”
"That's all!"
Ma Chao's brows immediately furrowed, and he said proudly,""The men of Western Liang are still the bravest!"
"Haha!"
Ma Yun Zao smiled bitterly.
In terms of bravery, perhaps Xiao Bei was not as good as Ma Chao.
However, in terms of military strategy, strategy, and courage, Xiao Bei could be counted on one hand.
Many generals did not even dare to raise their weapons when facing Lu Bu, but Xiao Bei could calmly stand on the chariot and compete with his arrows.
They entered the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Many people gathered in the hall.
Ma Teng's face darkened the moment he saw Ma Yun Zao.
"Miss Yun Zang!"
The official stood up and bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Doctor Wei. I didn't expect you to be so fast!" Ma Yun Zao nodded.”
"Yes, I am!"
Wei Kai smiled faintly." The Emperor wants to promote General Shoucheng to a marquis. We naturally don't dare to delay. I just didn't expect Miss Yun Zang to return so soon. Is the Marquis of Beishou well?"”
"He's very good!"
Ma Yun Zao said dejectedly.
Wei Kai nodded slightly and turned to look at Ma Teng."General Shoucheng, you've read the edict. The Prime Minister has requested for you to be conferred the title of Marquis Huai Li and appointed as Wei Wei Qing. He hopes that the general can lead the Western Liang army into Shangjun in early March!”
"Good!"
Ma Teng held the edict and nodded.
"In that case, we won't disturb the reunion of General Shoucheng and his daughter!" Wei Kai nodded.”
"Hmm?"
Ma Teng was slightly startled and said,"Doctor Wei, why don't you stay in the mansion for two days?"”
"No need!"
"I still have to go to Sanfu!"
Wei Kai bowed slightly and led the officials out of the hall.
Seeing this, Ma Teng hurriedly brought Han Sui and the Western Liang officials out of the mansion to see them off.
"Little sister!"
"You know this person?" Ma Chao asked, puzzled.”
Ma Yun Zao sat on the big chair and said in a deep voice,""I've met him twice. Back then, when Xiao Bei summoned the four governors, Du Xi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, brought him to the Marquis of North's residence. This person is the eldest son of the Wei family in the east of the river. He was recruited by Cao Mengde and became a doctor of the Ministry of Rites after the six departments were built!”
"It seems like this Marquis Beishou isn't simple!" Ma Chao frowned.”
"Of course!"
" He already knew that Zhang Xiu would surrender before Xiao Bei and Cao Mengde even led their troops to Nanyang," Ma Yunzao said confidently." Moreover, you might not know this, but he was the mastermind behind the war in Xuzhou. Even Lu Fengxian of Jiuyuan died under his arrows!”
"So!"
"You were seen through?"
Ma Chao's gaze was extremely complicated.
Looking at Ma Yun Zao's worshipful face, An Neng didn't know that his little sister had fallen for him.
Now, he was already considering whether he should run out of Guzang and hide for two days to avoid being hung up and beaten up by Ma Teng.
"I've seen through it!"
" Pei Mao brought us to the North Hunter Manor," Ma Yunzao said helplessly." After entering the manor, he told us the truth. We all underestimated the commander of the cavalry. However, Xiao Bei did not punish him, nor did he get angry with Xi Liang!”
"Nonsense!"
"You guys are messing around!"
Ma Teng angrily stepped into the hall and scolded,""You left for ten days before I found out that you went to Xuchang. Tie 'er was trapped in the courtyard and Meng Qi sent him food every day!”
"Father!"
Ma Yun Zao quickly stood up, his eyes full of guilt.
Back then, she had overestimated herself, underestimated Pei Mao, and even underestimated Xiao Bei.
"Yun Zang!"
"Where's my son?"
Han Sui's eyes were full of resentment.
Ma Yun was back, and Ma Teng was granted the title of Lord Huai Li, and the official title was Wei Wei Qing.
His son didn't come back, and he, who was stationed in Xiliang with Ma Teng, didn't get anything…
