After a few days, Ma Chao led 5,000 soldiers to Anyi, the capital of Hedong.

In the lobby of the government office, Xu Huang, who was more calm and heavy in temperament, carefully opened the secret text and smiled suddenly appeared on his face.

In addition to explaining Ma Chao's identity, martial arts, and the acceptance of his brother, the letter made Xu Huang a little excited.

"Beat him up for me"

He was the first to know about Hedong’s approach to Shangdang and Hanoi. The three armies had already prepared their troops and were waiting for Niu Fu to give the order.

After Xu Huang put down the secret, he looked at Ma Chao, who was wearing white robe and armor in front of him, and looked very handsome, and said with a smile: "The General of the Western Expedition was willing to serve the country, which is really a joy for the Han Dynasty."

"The general is serious," Ma Chao said with his fists.

"Meng Qi, you are the lord's brother. Logically speaking, you should come to this leadership position," Xu Huang said.

After Ma Chao's face was shocked, he shook his head and said, "No, my brother said, when you get here, you have to listen to the general. Chao is willing to be the pioneer. The general will fight wherever he says he will fight."

If it were before, he might not have been convinced by his father Ma Teng, but since he was defeated by Niu Fu five times, his arrogance has been completely suppressed. The world is big and he is far from enough, especially his brother who is not qualified to oppose him.

"Haha" Xu Huang nodded admiringly, turned to look at the guard on the right. A Confucian scholar with extraordinary demeanor and short beard said softly: "Xiaoxian, this battle is actually easy to fight, but there is also a problem, that is, the lord only asked me to fight, and did not give a specific standard."

Mao Jie, whose courtesy name was Xiaoxian, was a county official when he was young. He was known for his integrity and justice. He originally thought of Jingzhou to avoid war, but before he arrived, he heard that Liu Biao was not strict in government orders. At this time, the news that Niu Fu rewarded the princes of the world, established three dukes, and re-established the imperial court came out, so he turned around and entered Hedong. After a chance encounter, Xu Huang discovered his talent and kept trying to keep it. Finally, Mao Jie agreed to stay and take a look as a military adviser. However, Mao Jie had something to say, hoping that he would not recommend himself to Niu Fu for the time being.

Xu Huang also knew that the king chose his ministers, and the ministers also chose his kings. Mao Jie had considered it at this time, so he did not force him. He also believed that Mao Jie would be intimidated by his lord sooner or later.

Hearing this, Mao Jie smiled softly and stood up and said, "General, the marquis has no standards, that is the standard. No standards, that is the absolute trust in the general. In a word, the marquis is not going to occupy Hanoi, Shangdang, or even Luoyang, and there is only one goal, that is to teach Zhang Yang a hard lesson."

"What you mean is the key to deterrence," Xu Huang said.

"Yes, please see, everyone." Mao Jie came to the map not far away, pointed to the Hanoi, Shangdang and Luoyang area above, and said: "Although Zhang Yang's control is not large, it is actually the abdomen of the world. On the east is Jizhou, after the fourth generation and three dukes, General Yuan Shao, on the south is Cao Cao who had just captured Yanzhou, and on the south is Yuan Shu, who held a strong soldier. On the west is my Guanzhong land, which can be said to be a buffer for all forces. The Marquis has just obtained the expedition to the west and the west.

The two generals' full support to stabilize the land of Xiliang, so their main goal is to consolidate the foundation, devote themselves to farming, accumulate materials, and cultivate talents. Therefore, if they occupy this place, they will be afraid of the other three forces. With the wisdom of the Marquis and the Shizhong, they all know that they will never choose Hanoi. Shangdang will be the next step of the development of the court. Therefore, in order to gain time, they can immigrate to bring wealth, but they must never occupy the city. This is why, Hanoi was eventually occupied by Zhang Yang," Mao Jie said seriously.

After hearing this, Xu Huang nodded in agreement.

"Also..." Mao Jie was about to continue talking, and suddenly a gentle applause sounded. He saw that the curtain was opened, and Jia Xu, who was smiling, led two tiger guards and walked in from outside. Looking at Mao Jie, who was a little surprised, his eyes were filled with admiration.

"Master" Xu Huang looked at it and quickly stood up, left the desk, clasped his fists and said, "I will pay my respects to Master"

"I know what to do when I meet you." The others were also shocked, and Jia Xu actually came in person.

Mao Jie was slightly shocked and quickly saluted.

"No need to be too polite." Jia Xu waved his hand, looked at Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, you are so bold. Such a talent doesn't even report to the Marquis."

"The last one is guilty," Xu Huang immediately said ashamed.

Hearing this, Mao Jie clasped his fists and said, "Jie met Jingzhao Yin, but this matter has nothing to do with General Xu, it is Jie's fault."

"Haha, I heard what the teacher said just now, and I really have a far-reaching vision. It seems that this official is a waste of time. With the teacher here, Hedong can be safe," Jia Xu praised.

"It's too much," Mao Jie said immediately.

Jia Xu raised his lips and said, "I am here this time, not to interfere with the deployment of Zhang Yang. The lord probably has returned to Chang'an. I am here this time, but to be ready to welcome Master Zheng in person. Fenghao Academy is important. It is impossible to lack Master Zheng."

"The last general understands that everyone knows that there is any order, just give it," Xu Huang said.

"No!" Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Staff Secretary Mao, you probably haven't finished speaking yet! Please continue."

After Mao Jie was stunned, he looked at Xu Huang and Jia Xu, who had some points in his teaching exam, and he said respectfully: "Then I'm giving a salute."

"Zhang Yang in Hedong has no counselors and no strong generals, so he is not worth worrying about. He is a reinforcement outside. However, Cao Cao in Yanzhou has just obtained the foundation. Judging from what he did, it is very likely to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Yuan Shao in Jizhou was just enthroned as a general, and his target was directed to the four northern states. He would not make any big moves. The most worrying thing was Yuan Shu in Nanyang. When Jie entered Hedong, he heard that Yuan Shu drove away the angels. This time, Zhang Yang's incident might have been encouraged. Therefore, he ordered General Zhang Ji, who was guarding Hangu Pass, to be on guard, and the entire army was on guard. If Yuan Shu violated the order of the emperor and sent troops to support Zhang Yang, the army would immediately face the border, swept across Luoyang and Nanyang areas, and even sent Jingzhou to support him." Mao Jie said.

"Okay, is there any?" Jia Xu asked nodded in a chair.

"Also, it is also the most critical thing. Baibo Army and Baibo Army wander in Hedong, Hanoi, and Shangdang areas, like an annoying locust. Jie suggested that taking advantage of this opportunity, either implement pleading or completely eliminate it," said Mao Jie.

Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled loudly and stood up and said, "It seems that I can welcome Master Zheng with peace of mind."

After saying that, he glanced at Mao Jie again and left directly.

Seeing this scene, Xu Huang looked at Mao Jie a little apologetically and said, "Xiaoxian, this..."

"It is natural to be a great man and serve the court. The general should not hesitate. Everyone knows that he has come. This means that General Zhang Ji of Hanguguan has received an order. The Bai Bo army's imperial edict should also be on the way. You cannot delay and send troops immediately." Mao Jie said.

After hearing this, Xu Huang nodded heavily, looked at Ma Chao and the generals on both sides, and said coldly: "The lord has an order, Zhang Yang disobeyed the emperor and hindered the emperor Chongwen. The three ministers ruled the world. He ordered Ma Chao as the vanguard, leading two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to attack Shanyang, threatening Huai County, and adjourning the back of the army."

"No" Ma Chao said excitedly.

"Remember, beat him up to me and I'm so hard," Xu Huang said seriously.
