() Although Ma Yue did not take the risk to rescue Liu Bian with Wang Feng and others, he could not sit still at his residence, let alone fall asleep. Throughout the night, he paced in the study uneasily.

, waiting for them to send people here.

After all, this matter was too important. If anything went wrong, it would be difficult for him to save his life. Therefore, although Ma Yue had made careful plans, he did not dare to relax at all. He just kept looking outside, hoping that something would happen next.

You can see them coming back in a moment.

It wasn't until nearly the fourth watch that Ma Yue heard the familiar steady footsteps coming from far and near. It was Wang Feng who was coming. This made Ma Yue, who had been waiting anxiously, suddenly perk up. Without waiting for the other party to knock on the door, he came.

Huo Huo opened the door: "How? Has the person been rescued safely?"

Looking at Ma Yue's appearance, Wang Feng knew that Ma Yue was also eager to know the result, so he clasped his fists and said, "Fortunately, His Highness has been taken to the courtyard on the left. I would like to ask if the young master would go and see him."

"See you, of course we have to meet." Ma Yue only breathed a sigh of relief at this moment and walked away. Suddenly he thought of something: "Has the journey been smooth? Are the brothers okay?"

"Don't worry, sir, everything went smoothly. From the time I left to the time I came back, I didn't disturb anyone." Wang Feng replied.

Soon, the two came to a bedroom across the courtyard on the left. After Ma Yue straightened his clothes, he said respectfully: "I'm getting off my horse and Yue is asking to see His Highness King Hongnong."

After a while, a childish voice came from the room: "Come in." There was a bit of timidity in his tone. Ma Yue immediately pushed the door open and saw Liu Bian leaning in front of a brazier to keep warm.

He also raised his head and looked at Ma Yue. Although Ma Yue had also seen Liu Bian that day, he obviously didn't have the time to take a closer look like today. After this look, he finally saw the appearance of this young royal family clearly, and also had a good impression of him.

I have made a preliminary judgment.

Liu Bian is around fourteen or fifteen years old, but neither in figure nor appearance does he look like a young man of this age. He looks a bit timid and thin. Especially with a face that is quite handsome, perhaps because

Since he had not seen the sun for a long time, he was only green and white, with almost no trace of blood. Now, his pair of dull eyes were looking at Ma Yue with a bit of fear, and his body could not help but move backwards.

shrink.

Ma Yue hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met His Royal Highness King Hongnong, but His Highness was shocked today."

"You...you deserve credit for rescuing me from there. I will definitely not forget you in the future..." A sentence that should have been very powerful sounded dry to him, and it was obvious that it did not come from his original intention.

. Ma Yue didn't care much about this. If Liu Bian continued to be like this, that would be the situation he most wanted to see.

The reason why Ma Yue rescued Liu Bian was certainly not out of any loyalty to the emperor, otherwise he would not have helped Dong Zhuo make suggestions. The reason why he did this was to bring this royal bloodline that could compete with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty

In your hands, you can use him as a puppet to do some great things in the future. And if this puppet is a cowardly and incompetent person with almost no ambition, it will be better for the person who controls him.

So after seeing Liu Bian's performance, Ma Yue was not angry, but laughed: "Your Highness, you are exaggerating. All of this is what a minister should do. However, there is one thing that must be reported immediately.

Your Highness, you are still in danger if you stay in Luoyang City, so I will find an opportunity to send you to Xiliang during this period."

"Going to Xiliang?" Liu Bian's expression really changed after hearing these words. He had been trying to stay calm before, but now he was trembling slightly when he spoke: "You want...I went to Xiliang for

What?"

"My father and brother are both in Xiliang, and they still have tens of thousands of soldiers, which are enough to protect your highness. Also, only by going to Xiliang can you be protected from Dong Zhuo's persecution. I hope your highness can understand the painstaking efforts I have put in."

"Then...it's as you say." Liu Bian couldn't help but shudder when he heard Dong Zhuo's name. It was obvious that the powerful general who dethroned him was quite afraid of him, and even heard his words

My name makes me tremble.

This was exactly the reaction Ma Yue wanted to see. Obviously Liu Bian was a person without his own ideas. Now that Eunuch Huang, whom he relied on quite a lot, were no longer around, he had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

After meeting Liu Bian and believing that he was willing to listen to him, Ma Yue finally felt at ease. But then, a big problem arose again, that is, how to send people out of the city and safely deliver them to him.

Xiliang. Only by delivering Liu Bian to his brother or father could Ma Yue dare to say that Liu Bian was under his control, otherwise everything would be empty talk.

However, judging from the current tight security and searches in Luoyang City, it is still difficult to send him away. Then you have to wait for a while. This matter cannot be rushed. After thinking for a while, I had no clue, and then I saw

The sky had turned white, and Ma Yue was shocked to realize that the night had passed. Feeling tired, he went back to his room to rest.

??????????

In the next few days, everything was so calm. No one in Luoyang city noticed that King Hongnong, who was still imprisoned in the courtyard, had changed. The days passed as usual. But the days were not a little bit different.

It was not a big deal, because battle reports kept coming back from the front, but neither the enemy nor we really stopped fighting because of this heavy snowstorm.

First, Hua Xiong, who had won several small victories before, suddenly felt that being trapped in the pass was not enjoyable enough, so one night, under the cover of heavy snow, he suddenly attacked a Kwantung Army camp that was still entrenched nearby, killing several enemies.

Hundred.

Soon after, the Kwantung Allied Forces followed suit. Taking advantage of the bad weather and the Xiliang Army's unpreparedness, they launched a sudden night attack. Although their final move was blocked by the Xiliang Army, they did not lose Guancheng, but they also allowed the Xiliang Army to

The military paid a certain price.

As a result, the war that had calmed down due to the weather was reignited again, and the two sides fought hard on the plain outside the pass when the snow stopped. Although it still ended in a draw, it also attracted the attention of many people.

, because everyone knows that when the weather improves, a war will be inevitable.

But things went a bit beyond everyone's expectation. After the time came to February, the fighting between the two sides became less. But it was because the Kwantung Allied Forces suffered from Hua Xiong several times and found that this man was brave and extraordinary.

I don't dare to fight him head-on.

As a result, the situation that was already somewhat clear became a little weird. The Kwantung Army, as the attacking party, appeared to be passively defensive. The Xiliang Army was repeatedly aggressive and wanted to counterattack. However, because the strength of the Kwantung Allied Army was greater,

Sheng, so Hua Xiong did not dare to push too hard. The war once again fell into a stalemate, and it was difficult to have a definite outcome for a while.

Ma Yue no longer cares about the war ahead as much as before, because he has discovered that many things cannot be changed by him now. Even though he can make the situation in Luoyang better, it is still impossible to change Dong Zhuojun's final outcome.

The ending of failure, and it will all begin with Hua Xiong’s defeat.

But could he really not make some changes to the established history? Ma Yue still had a glimmer of hope in this, and after thinking about it, he decided to give it a try.
