Thank you to s0514024, Tianma Xingkong 6668, and Jian¡ùShang) Ma Han¡¯s secret chess has finally been launched.  {Chinese.?On the day when the Battle of Xiakou ended, Ma Huan flew an eagle to deliver the news of the victory to Jia Xu of Luoyang immediately.  Not to announce the good news, but to tell his mastermind that the "fifth column" could be activated.  On June 18, Jia Xu received the Eagle News.  On June 20th, Longlang Zhonglang Yu Jin and Hedong Governor Xu Huang each led three thousand infantry and horsemen out of Yique Pass and headed south to Nanyang.  Zhang Xiu of Wancheng asked Xiangyang for help, and at the same time mobilized troops and food from Xinye in the name of resisting the enemy.  The new general guard was Wenpin, who had been secretly guarding against Zhang Xiu.  But the enemy is now strong, and we have to cooperate.  At this time, Xiangyang also sent Zhonglang to coordinate with Cai Zhong.  Under Cai Zhong's strict order, nearly half of Xinye's troops and supplies were deployed, leaving the defense empty.  As a result, when the two dragon and wolf armies arrived, Zhang Xiu turned around and attacked Xinye.  Wenpin can be regarded as a rare good general in the Jingzhou army. However, facing Zhang Xiu's sudden attack, he had no soldiers to defend the enemy outside and people to restrain him inside. He lost the city in just one day, and Cai Zhong, who was supervising the battle,  Already fled.  Wenpin led the remaining troops to retreat to Chaoyang, which is less than twenty miles away from Xiangyang. This is the last gateway to Xiangyang. If Chaoyang is present, Xiangyang will be safe. If Chaoyang is lost, Xiangyang will be destroyed.  At this time, Wenpin was facing pressure not only from the pioneer Hu Che'er, but also from the approaching troops of Yu Jin and Xu Huang.  Once the combined forces of Zhang Xiu, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang approach the city, the city will be destroyed.  At this time, the support provided by Liu Biao was only three thousand newcomers It was not that Liu Biao was unwilling to support, but that he was too restricted by the Jingzhou family.  As early as when Kong Rong was sent to Jingzhou as an envoy, the entire Jingzhou, from top to bottom, was filled with a wind of surrender.  This trend intensified due to Liu Biao's own vacillation.  In the end it cannot be controlled.  When the disaster came, Liu Biao also tasted the bitter fruit.  All this has been doomed for a long time and is irreversible.  Liu Biao would never dare to fight a decisive battle with the Dragon and Wolf Army, especially the Dragon and Wolf Army led by Ma Han himself.  This scholar who rode alone into Jingzhou governed Jingzhou for eighteen years.  They only sent troops to exterminate local rebels in the first year, and then other than defensive counterattacks, they never took the initiative to go out on a large scale.  Even if Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, later rebelled, Liu Biao would wait until he died of old age before marching to recapture it.  Being defensive all year round and not thinking about making progress.  The army gradually lost its vigor and its combat effectiveness was reduced to third-rate status.  Except for the navy, which is still capable of fighting, the infantry and cavalry are not enough to compete with the world's powerful armies.  Liu Biao had a clear understanding of himself and the troops under his command, and knew not to use force easily. He could maintain the "paper tiger posture with a hundred thousand armors" without using force. Once force was used and the paper tiger was broken, there would be no room for bargaining.  It¡¯s a pity, let alone Ma Han, even in Zhang Xiu¡¯s eyes.  Liu Biao and his Jingzhou army were known as the "donkeys of Guizhou", and they were just showing off.  It is possible to fight a war of attrition with more troops and more food, but once faced with the lightning assault of the Dragon and Wolf Cavalry, Xiangyang, which lacks strategic depth, will never be able to withstand the full blow of the Dragon and Wolf Army.  There are many knowledgeable people in Jingzhou who have already seen through this situation and often offer advice. Liu Biao is also well aware of this.  So when he learned that Ma Han's army was marching north and passing through Xiangyang, Liu Biao knew something was wrong.  After learning that Zhang Xiu had stabbed him in the back, Xiangyang fell into a joint attack from the north and the south.  Liu Biao knew it was over.  Among the heroes of the Jianghuai River at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were three representative forces, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce.  Liu Biaodan rode into Jing, taking the first step to clear Jingzhou thousands of miles away.  Appease the powerful and recruit the rebels.  First, he showed his weakness and lured the leaders of fifty-five families of clan thieves. He killed them all in one fell swoop and gathered them all. Those who established themselves in counties and counties broke their seals and fled.  If it were Sun Ce.  After doing this, it¡¯s time to start planning to go north.  If it were Yuan Shu, after doing this, he would start planning to become emperor.  But what did Liu Biao do?  He established academic officials, sought out Confucian scholars, and wrote the "Five Classics Chapters and Verses".  Luxury should not be arrogant, frugality should not be forced on others. This is the golden mean pursued by Liu Biao.  Such a person is destined not to have the courage to take risks, let alone take a bold risk like Sun Cao Liu, especially when he is over sixty years old.  As soon as Ma Han's army left Jiangxia and entered Nanjun, they saw a fleet approaching.  Ling Tong's vanguard sentry ship rushed forward to intercept, and soon reported the news: The visitor was Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, who was welcoming the general's triumphant southern expedition on behalf of his father.  Lu Meng, the newly attached general, said: "The general must beware of deceit." Ma Han smiled and said: "I hope he is deceitful, so I don't have to negotiate terms with Liu Biao. I will smash Xiangyang to pieces and then build it up again.  Take on a new look." Lu Meng's scalp felt numb when he heard it. He had experienced the hellfire firsthand, and he really didn't want to see it again, even if the enemy was the one who suffered.  I couldn't help but pray secretly, hoping that Liu Biao wouldn't do something stupid.  Facts have proved that Liu Biao is Liu Biao, not Sun Quan, and not Cao Cao.  The Jingzhou Mu of the Han Dynasty would not swing his sword at the General of the Han Dynasty.  In August of the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, came out of Xiangyang to meet the general.Ma Han showed his surrender to Jingzhou.  In September, Xun You, the former governor of Bajun, and Gan Ning, a powerful man from Bajun, were ordered to enter Shu.  Use their connections and power to connect powerful families and persuade Liu Zhang to surrender.  Just as Zhou Yu expected, Ma Han sent only one soldier, one soldier, a mouth and a pair of halberds, and ordered Liu Zhang to restrain his hands and express his willingness to obey the general's orders.  As soon as Liu Zhang surrendered, Hanzhong Zhang Lu also surrendered.  At this point, the world is settled, but there are still some fringe forces, such as the Xianbei in the north and the Shi clan in the south. Let the civil and military elites under their command perform meritorious services.  When the news spread back to Luoyang, both the government and the public were celebrating, the whole city was enjoying themselves, and Ma Han's reputation reached its peak.  ¡­ In September, Ma Han led the dragon and wolf army into Nanyang and landed in Shezhou, Wancheng. The army went north along Funiu Mountain.  A month later, I finally saw Yique Pass, a hundred miles northeast of Yishui.  It was night, and the mighty army set up camp in the wild for the last time.  Around the Chinese army's tent, there is a guard post every three steps and a sentinel every five steps. It is difficult for birds to enter within a hundred steps. Ma Han wants to receive several important visitors here.  But before the guests arrived, an uninvited guest arrived.  As soon as it got dark, news came from the patrol post that a man with suspicious behavior was found. He claimed to be Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, and asked to see the general.  This person is now in custody. Please tell me how to deal with it, the general.  "Guan Ping?" Ma Han knew that there was Guan Ping, but he didn't recognize him, so he called Lu Meng and asked, "Do you recognize him?" Sun, Cao, and Liu have been together for so long.  As a general in Jiangdong, Lu Meng naturally recognized Guan Yu's son.  So Ma Han ordered the patrol to bring the man who called himself Guan Ping into the tent.  When Lu Meng saw him, he immediately nodded to Ma Han and confirmed that it was Guan Ping.  Guan Ping at this time.  Dressed as a knight-errant, he has nothing to offer and is dusty.  Ma Han said calmly: "You are honestly here for the remains of your father and two uncles, right?" Guan Ping knelt down and knelt down to worship, making a thumping sound: "I hope the general will fulfill my wish." "I will take this huge coffin all the way back north.  , I just want the three of you to return to your hometown. Now that you are here, I will give you a bullock cart, customs clearance, and ten gold coins to take you back to your hometown." Ma Han thought about it and said, "But I will.  But I can't tell who is who. Do you want to open the coffin and tell me?" Guan Ping thanked him with tears, shook his head and said, "My father-in-law and my two uncles are close friends in life and death, and they live and die together.  There is no difference between them." Guan Ping finally kowtowed to Ma Han repeatedly, thanked him and left.  As soon as the uninvited guest left, the long-awaited mysterious visitor arrived.  When the visitor lifted the curtain and entered, Le Jin, Li Dian, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Zhao, Liu Xun, etc. who were all involved in the secret discussion were all surprised to welcome the mysterious visitor. It was Jia Jia.  Xu, Xu You, Hua Xin and Ma Teng.  Ma Teng has now been appointed as a guard, and his Ma family army has been handed over to the eldest son Ma Chao to command.  In this way, Ma's power inside and outside the court was further consolidated and strengthened.  After some pleasantries, Jia Xu got Ma Han¡¯s hint and didn¡¯t beat around the bush.  He directly revealed the reason for his secret trip to Luo. As soon as he opened his mouth, he shocked everyone: "Do you want to enjoy wealth and honor with the general? Or do you want to follow the general to the underworld?" This is too scary!  Who among you is not a hero among men, but also a large number of warriors who fight for their lives on the battlefield and lick blood with their swords.  However, Jia Xu's deep voice shook her head and made her confused and her ears buzzed.  After a while, Le Jin, who had regained his composure, asked in surprise: "What do you mean by your words?" These words expressed the thoughts of everyone present, and everyone turned their attention to Jia Xu, with surprised questions written all over their faces.  "The great general's contribution to establishing the country, assisting the country, and supporting the emperor cannot be rewarded. There is no title." Jia Xu glanced at everyone's faces one by one. He spoke slowly, but it sounded particularly thrilling. "Since then,  There is no way to seal them, so we can only kill them!" Zhang He and Gao Lan almost jumped up when they heard this, but were pinned down by Zhang Liao and Li Dian, one on the left and the other on the right.  Jia Xu calmly said: "Most of you here are well-educated people who know the history and classics. You should know that Xu's words are not alarmist. Don't look at the high spirits in front of you. How can you know that there will be a burial place thirty years later? Since ancient times, the masters who have made great achievements have shaken the world.  "Is there no consequences?" There was a dead silence in the tent, and no one could refute Jia Xu's inference, which could even be said to be a prediction.  Indeed, their general has so many achievements that he can be said to have lifted up the fallen man with one hand. Which emperor would have trouble sleeping and eating when facing such a minister?  "The emperor is afraid, and the consequences can be imagined. What about the general?"  When a tiger falls in Pingyang, a group of eunuchs can be bullied.  General He, who died more than ten years ago, met his tragic end, bloodily demonstrating this point.  If the general falls, what will happen to these civil servants and generals who have been branded by the Ma clan? You can even think about it with your knees.  Le Jin and Xu Huang stood up respectfully and bowed their hands to Jia Xu: "Mr. ZhiDeep as the sea, I hope someone can teach me.  " Before Jia Xu could say anything, Zhang Xiu showed his anger and said: "Why talk so much?  Today, the Han Dynasty is in decline, the Liu family has died, the red dragon is dead, and the startling dragon is about to stand.  After saying that, he bowed his hand to Jia Xu and said, "Xiu suddenly lost his composure. I hope you won't be surprised, sir."  " Zhang Xiu's stark remarks were like thunder, shaking everyone's heartstrings and making their thoughts boil. Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "All the gentlemen here are wise and brave.  As the saying goes, one person is short-term and everyone is long-term. Each king can use his own opinion and let the master choose the best strategy.  " " It was a matter of wealth and future, and no one dared to remain silent, so there were a lot of discussions. The generals were mostly inclined to Zhang Xiu's idea, while the civil servants believed that the time was not yet ripe and acted rashly, with unpredictable blessings and disasters, so they advocated delaying the plan.  At this time, Zhang Zhao said: "Everyone should bear in mind the lessons learned from Yuan Jiujiu's mistakes.  "Everyone was horrified when they heard this. "Indeed, Ma Han's hardware is sufficient at the moment, but his software, such as public opinion, officials, and popularity, is still slightly lacking. If he seizes it, I'm afraid there will be a strong backlash. It was finally pacified.  The world will be in turmoil again, and even the results of the Southern Expedition will be ruined. It will be a dead end if we don't resist, but if we really do this, we will face serious consequences and it is difficult to make a choice.  Le Jin pulled his hair, Gao Lan beat his head, Ma Teng hit his knees, Zhang Liao lowered his head, and all the counselors were lost in thought. Until this moment, Ma Han, who had been silent, finally stood up and spoke with a burning gaze.  After a pause: "I am not abolishing the Han Dynasty, but replacing the Han Dynasty. Ma's replacement of Liu's is for Ma Han!"  " ps: The finale will be tomorrow. Thank you all for your continued support. I can finally let Jushiro finish this book completely. Well, in other words, it is an open ending. (To be continued.)
