    "Okay! That's how it is. Let's go back and have a rest after we march to the west. When we have enough energy, I will listen to your teachings at any time! Send the message to the left and right!!"

    Wen Han waved his hand, and the two soldiers quickly entered the palace. Ma Teng snorted coldly and retreated.

    After Ma Teng left, Wen Han pondered for a while and then made arrangements for Ma Teng's old ministers.  Two of them were quite talented, and Wen Han was well-known for their names.  One of them is Yang Fu, who joined the army in Liangzhou. His courtesy name is Yishan.  Wen Han ordered him to leave Liangzhou.

    "There is another person who has brilliant talents and great elegance, which is a weapon of greatness."  It is Bo, Wei Kang, the lord of Liangzhou, whose courtesy name is Zijiang.  He was eight feet five inches tall.  His father, Wei Duan, was the governor of Liangzhou, and was later called to serve as a royal servant. Wei Kang served as the governor of Liangzhou on his father's behalf, and was loved by the people.  Wen Han ordered him to work for Liangzhou.

    The remaining people, due to the unstable situation, Wen Han did not make many changes, so he temporarily let them take over their duties.

    After Wenhan captured Didao, the base camp of the Ma family, half a month later officials in various counties in Longxi heard that Ma Teng had voted, and they all issued letters announcing his intention to do so.  At this time, Wenhan had captured all the land in Longxi and went to Liangzhou, leaving only Jincheng, Wuwei and Zhangye that had not yet been captured. These three counties were under the jurisdiction of Han Sui in the past. Wenhan sent Han Sui's old generals to rush to Jincheng and ordered them to attack Jincheng.  The prefect Han Jin led three counties to surrender.

    Most of Han Jin's troops were brought by Cheng Gongying to participate in the battle between Ma Chao and Wen Han. Therefore, the remaining troops in the three counties were less than 10,000. Wen Han heard many times that Han Jin was weak, incompetent, and timid, so he expected that he would not dare to fight with him.  His own army resisted forcefully because he was preparing to take over the affairs of the three counties.

    At the same time, Yunwu was in Jincheng.  It is said that after Ma Chao, Pang De and Ma Dai left Didao with 3,000 soldiers and horses, they did not leave Liangzhou, but headed towards Jincheng.  Ma Chao was Han Jin's brother-in-law. Ma Chao wanted to conquer Jincheng after Wenhan captured Longxi and unify Liangzhou. Therefore, after discussing with generals Pang De and Ma Dai, he rushed to Jincheng to find Han Jin.

    Since Han Jin married Ma Yi, he has fallen from heaven to hell. How could Ma Yi, a phoenix girl, allow Han Jin to neglect political affairs, do nothing, be idle, and hang out with his gang of gangsters all day long?  Have fun in the place.  Ma Yi forcefully stopped Han Jin from interacting with his group of gangsters and dismissed all their official positions. She stayed with Han Jin all day long and urged Han Jin to handle government affairs.  Han Jin was timid and was afraid of his evil wife at home. In addition, Ma Yi was extremely skilled in martial arts. Han Jin's soldiers could not stand it and tried to stop him, but Ma Yi beat them all to the ground in the name of martial arts competition.  Therefore, Han Jin was even more afraid of Ma Yi.  His group of gangsters were dismissed from their official positions, and many people held grudges for this, but after all, Ma Yi was the apple of the eye of the Xiliang giant Ma clan, and they did not dare to deal with Ma Yi blatantly.

    Later, several people discussed and wanted to falsely accuse Ma Yi of having an affair with others, and then persuaded Han Jin to divorce Ma Yi on this ground.  Several people made a secret arrangement and first wrote a private letter to Ma Yi in order to bribe Ma Yi's personal maid and put the private letter into Ma Yi's boudoir.  Unexpectedly, Ma Yi's personal maid was extremely loyal to Ma Yi. She promised on the surface, but secretly informed Ma Yi of the matter.  After Ma Yi heard this, her beautiful and charming face became murderous.

    Ma Yi first told Han Jin about the matter. Han Jin believed in his friend, but not only did he not believe it, he also said that Ma Yi was careless.  Ma Yi sneered and told Han Jin to wait and see what happened before making a final decision.  Sure enough, three days later, Han Jin's friends appeared in the back alley outside the prefect's mansion, and Han Jin and Ma Yi hid in the back corner of the alley.  Both Han Jin and Ma Yi could hear clearly what Han Jin's friends and Ma Yi's personal maid said.  When Han Jin heard what Ma Yi said, his friend who wanted to slander his married wife immediately became furious and ran out to yell at him.  When Han Jin's friends saw what had happened in Dongchuang, they fled quickly.  Han Jin was about to call the soldiers to catch him, but he didn't expect that Ma Yi had already jumped out like a lioness. Her petite and exquisite feet flew over and over, and she jumped in front of Han Jin's friends.  Han Jin's Friend was startled, Ma Yi gave a sweet shout, and with a bang, the red-painted step was lifted to Han Jin's Friend's chin, kicking him so hard that he screamed and fell to the ground unconscious.

    Since this incident, Han Jin has never been close to his group of gangsters. Those who committed the crime were all caught by the soldiers and imprisoned.  And unknowingly, Han Jin fell in love with Ma Yi more and more, and was even more willing to help Ma Yi change his past cowardly and incompetent attitude, and began to handle government affairs seriously. Whenever he encountered something that he didn't know how to deal with, he would not be ashamed to ask for advice.  Ma Yi's opinion.  Ma Yi is also willing to help Han Jin, her 'nominal' husband.

    Why do you say it¡¯s in name?  Feng Nu has the pride of a Phoenix girl. Even if she has to marry Quan Zi, how can she fall in love with Quan Zi?  Ma Yi and Han Jin were named husband and wife, but they were not actually married and lived separately.  But Han Jin didn't have the power to tie a chicken, so how could he dare to fight against Ma Yi, who was invincible in Jincheng? The Overlord forced his bow.

    However, Ma Yi was also afraid that Han Jin would get angry because of this and report the matter to Gong Ying, which would affect the great cause of the Ma family.  Therefore, Ma Yi later gave Han Jin a promise.

    She told Han Jin that if one day Han Jin could become a man worthy of her, she would naturally give everything to Han Jin.

    So, ?He worked harder and harder, hoping to become a man worthy of Feng Nu and win Feng Nu's heart.  Of course there are many more, no need to mention them all.

    Han Jin changed his mediocre attitude and gradually became more enlightened. Ma Yi was relieved to see him.  Although she does not love Han Jin, fate has arranged it this way, and as the daughter of a wealthy family, Ma Yi has to accept it.

    Just when Han Jin changed his ways and Jincheng gradually showed signs of recovery.  Ma Chao was defeated in Pingxiang, Cheng Gongying was captured, and the news that the Xiliang army was completely gone came to Jincheng.

    It is said that the country is easy to change but the nature is hard to change. Han Jin's timidity and cowardice immediately appeared again. He was on the verge of extinction and was in panic all day long, fearing that Wen Han's troops would one day approach Jincheng.  Ma Yi was worried about the safety of her brother Ma Chao, and did not bother to go up to appease Han Jin. She quickly sent her personal maid back to Didao to inquire about Ma Chao.  Later, I learned that Ma Chao had escaped fortunately and had settled back to Didao, so he became panic-stricken.

    Just when Han Jin and Ma Yi were discussing how to face the current crisis, soldiers suddenly came to report that Ma Chao and his troops had entered the Jincheng situation.  Ma Yi heard this and quickly asked Han Jin to prepare to welcome him.  Han Jin was completely obedient to Ma Yi and immediately led his troops to meet Ma Chao overnight.

    Later, Han Jin led his troops to find Ma Chao and greeted him politely and treated him humbly.  Although Ma Chao didn't like Han Jin, his generals were few and far between, so he had to put down his pretense and pretend to be affectionate with Han Jin.  Afterwards, Han Jin led Ma Chao and others into Yunwu, Jincheng County.

    Everyone sat down. Although Han Jin was sitting in the first seat, the three men, Ma Chao, Pang De and Ma Dai, were fierce and murderous, making Han Jin restless.

    By coincidence, Ma Chao saw that Han Jin, as his master, had not spoken for a long time, and his eyes suddenly turned to Han Jin.  Han Jin was shocked and quickly offered his seat to Ma Chao, allowing Ma Chao to take the seat.  Han Jin's move was intended to show that he was willing to give up his position to Ma Chao, his brother-in-law, and obey his arrangements.

    Ma Chao frowned and shouted coldly.

    "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this? Do you think that I came here to take your position!!!"

    When Han Jin was shouted at by Ma Chao, he was so frightened that his shoulders subconsciously shrank, and he quickly said nothing.

    "Brother, you are well-known in Xiliang, so I can't advance. I give in sincerely. I hope my brother won't delay. I am willing to obey your orders."

    "Han Jin!!! Jincheng is the inheritance left by your father to you, how can you just give it up!!!"

    Unexpectedly, Ma Chao did not accept Han Jin's kindness at all, and suddenly shouted loudly like thunder, which scared Han Jin to tremble all over.

    "Brother!!! Since you are a guest in Jincheng, my husband is the master of Jincheng. If you scold me like this, are you trying to overshadow the guest?"

    Ma Yi, who was sitting in Han Jin, glared and slapped the table, seeing that his power was not inferior to that of his brother.  When Ma Chao saw Ma Yi getting angry, his anger immediately subsided and he quickly comforted her.

    "Sister, please calm down. My brother is just seeing his brother-in-law and not caring about his father's business, so he is angry in his heart. If he makes a mistake, I hope my brother-in-law will not blame him."

    "How dare you. How dare you. Brother, you must teach me a lesson."

    Han Jin put on a smile, completely flattering.  Even Pang De and Ma Dai next to him frowned.  Especially Pound, seeing the woman he loved marrying such a cowardly and incompetent man as his wife, but unable to do anything about it, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in his face.

    "Okay. Brother, why did you come here this time? Is it true that Wen Bufan has already killed people near Longxi, and my father called you to come here to bring in reinforcements?"

    Ma Yi slapped the memorial table again, and asked with a golden sword astride the horse.  Judging from Ma Yi's posture, she looks a bit like a heroic girl.

    When Ma Teng was mentioned, Ma Chao's face suddenly became extremely gloomy and he remained silent.  Ma Yi seemed to sense that something big was going on, and looked at Ma Dai anxiously.  Ma Dai opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer.

    Ma Yi turned to Pang De again and called out softly.

    ¡°Brother Pang Pang, tell me!!!¡±

    Pang De's red face sank, and after looking at Ma Chao and Ma Dai, he sighed and told everything about Ma Teng's intention to surrender to Wen Han, but Ma Chao was unwilling, and Ma Teng drove him out of Didao.

    "What!!!! Father actually wants to surrender to Na Wen Bufan!!! And not only that, he also chases you away, and then sends troops to chase you!!??"

    Ma Yi¡¯s face was full of disbelief. Although Ma Teng was extremely strict with Ma Chao on weekdays, Ma Yi knew that Ma Teng loved Ma Chao the most and always regarded Ma Chao as his successor.  If Pang De hadn't said it himself, Ma Yi would never have believed that Ma Teng not only drove Ma Chao out, but also slashed at Ma Chao with his sword!

    "My father-in-law, he wants to surrender to Wen Bufan. Ah~~!!! What should we do? Once Longxi is captured by Wen Bufan, he will definitely come to attack Jincheng next. Madam, do we want to do the same!!!  "Han Jin's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he asked Ma Yi anxiously at a loss.

    "Shut up!!! A man is a man of heaven and earth, how can he surrender if he wants to surrender!!!!"
