In the summer of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao ordered all the heroes to attack Yuan Shu, who was the emperor in Shouchun.

Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others responded, and even Sun Ce from Jiangdong suspended the war and personally led his troops to help. For a time, Yuan Shu was attacked from all sides.

However, these people did not really want to help Cao Cao, and it is unknown whether they were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

However, just when Cao Cao personally started a war with Yuan Shu on the front line, Xiliang brought an extremely serious news, which even caused Xun Yu to have a headache. He had to give up his plan to launch the Handing Money House and plan for all his efforts to stifle Han Sui's conspiracy with Yuanduo in the northern region.

Xun Yu believed that Ma Teng would arrive in Chang'an safely no matter what, whether it was to come to the capital to meet the saints or help Cao Cao attack Yuan Shu together, and to get the support of a prince, it was equivalent to telling everyone that the prestige of the court is still there.

According to the spies' reward, Ma Teng will set off for Chang'an in the next few days.

Although it was late at night, Xun Yu, Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Li Dian, Peng Yiyuan, Cao Lin and others, as well as He Rui who had just returned, were urgently discussing countermeasures.

"It's better for you to lead a light cavalry to pick you up and then send someone to join Ma Chao," Le Jin said first, "Let him sit in Wuwei with peace of mind."

"Han Sui and Zhiyuan are determined to plot against Ma Chao. Even if we run to Wuwei, it will be useless. At that time, we will be afraid that Ma Chao and General Le Jin will collide with each other." Xu Rong said, "But Wuwei has been eaten by Han Sui long ago."

"Zhi Yuanduo's reconnaissance technique is the best in the world. As long as our army moves, he will immediately notice it." He Rui said.

"They have eagles, and we also have eagles!" Cao Lin said dissatisfied, "Will my Tianxiang Falcon lose to Ji Yuanduo's hawk?"

"But Ma Chao would choose to believe that we are still Han Sui, which is still an unknown number," Li Dian added.

"Besides, their plan did not intend to kill Ma Teng, and it was a fact that Ma Teng was intercepted." Zhou Yang conveyed the meaning of Ekin's concubine to everyone, and explained in detail, "Their purpose is to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Everyone fell into silence for a moment. They clearly saw through the other party's conspiracy, but unfortunately they could not find any solution.

There are many strategies, but it is even more difficult to implement.

In the end, Xun Yu broke the deadlock, but he was not happy and said with a frown: "Before we think of a plan, we can only do this first."

Zhou Yang hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wenruo, please speak."

Xun Yu sighed: "Zhi Yuanduo had no intention of destroying Ma Teng's army to Chang'an, so he would definitely not send out the main force. At most, he would send some light cavalry to control Ma Teng and delay time as much as possible. When Ma Chao arrived, they would evacuate."

Zhou Yang nodded and said, "That's right, but what can we do?"

Xun Yu continued: "So Ma Teng and Ma Chao's army who came to rescue lost the supply and support of the Western Liang side at most, but their combat power was still very strong, but at that time they must have realized Han Sui's conspiracy."

Li Dian first understood his intention and interrogated: "Mr. Xun meant that Han Sui would annex Ma Teng's territory. When Ma Teng and Ma Chao realized it, we would join forces with him to help them regain Wuwei, right?"

Xun Yu has always had a good impression of the most elegant military general in the military camp. After hearing this, he even praised it, and then said: "It's just that there are too many hidden dangers here and it is too passive to implement it. We have to lose huge war resources. It is not a good strategy. We can only do it without any means."

Xu Huang said: "It's much better than sitting there and waiting for a break."

Xun Yu cast inquiring eyes at Zhou Yang, and after the latter nodded helplessly, he said, "It's time to go. If everyone still has no better idea before dawn, they will act according to this policy. As for the details, they will leave it to General Xu Rong."

Xu Rong said: "Since the reconnaissance technique of the Yuan Dynasty is better than ours, then we only need to understand the enemy's military situation. We do not have to go deep into the tiger's den. General Li Dian led a team of light troops to station in Xinping City. If we find the enemy's situation, we will delay it. If we cannot delay it, we will return to Chang'an immediately."

Li Dian responded: "I will understand it in the end."

Xu Rong said again: "Cao Lin joins the army and can be responsible for grasping all the whereabouts of Ma Teng coming to Chang'an so that he can report it at any time. I believe that the powerful reconnaissance technique of Zhiyuan Duo is impossible to stop us from reconnaissance others!"

After experiencing growth over the past few years and having been with the army for many years, Cao Lin has already developed a very strong personality. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "Please rest assured General Xu Rong."

Le Jin volunteered: "Then the last general will lead the army to pick up Ma Teng!"

Xu Rong turned his gaze to the fierce general and said, "General Le doesn't have to worry. He just needs to stay at Jieting. When the time comes, someone will come to inform General Le."

Le Jin said: "Okay!"

Xu Huang bowed and said, "It seems that Mo Jiang also knows what he should do."

Xu Rong said: "General Xu Huang's personality is calm and reassuring. Regardless of whether the plan changes, he must keep an army in Chang'an to prevent Yuanduo or Han Sui from sending people to attack."

Xun Yu also agreed: "Chang'an just captured and there was no need to invest any troops. However, the situation in Xiliang has changed now. General Xu Huang went to help Zhang and Du Shi to help him."

Xu Rong then looked at Zhou Yang and said, "The last general will also go to Chang'an with General Xu Huang. When Han Sui starts to attack Wuwei, Ma Teng and his son are preparing to counterattack, and they will continue to be responsible for logistics supply work."

Zhou Yang sighed, "Then I have to continue to be the prefect of Luoyang."

Xun Yu said: "After Sima Lang comes back, the prefect Zhou will not have to work so hard."

Xu Rong finally said: "But all this arrangement will not start until tomorrow. Everything may still change before dawn."

Zhou Yang secretly praised Xu Rong as a veteran veteran who had been through the battlefield. The three thousand cavalrymen from Xiangping alone had already caused Cao Cao a headache.

Fortunately, he was taken as if he had used it. If he was still loyal to Dong Zhuo or Li Jue at this time, things would have become extremely troublesome.

After everything was arranged, everyone parted ways.

However, Zhou Yang was still thinking, what better way than this.

Xun Yu had long seen that he was worried, so he followed him on the streets of the night while saying, "Let it go with the flow! If we can't stop the situation in Xiliang from changing, we have to give up Chang'an and stick to Luoyang."

Zhou Yang sighed and said, "It is difficult for General Xiahou Yuan to take Chang'an, but it is not easy to say it. As the key point of the trade route between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, losing Chang'an is undoubtedly a great loss for us and a great loss for Handing Money House."

Xun Yu of course understood the truth, so he comforted him: "It's still early before dawn, so why not listen to the piano and drink wine while thinking about whether there is a better solution? How about it?"

The first figure that flashed in Zhou Yang's mind was the white Yun'er.

Maybe it’s time to drink and listen to the piano. No matter whether you can come up with any good plans, at least it’s just to relax for tomorrow’s actions.

This time they came to the restaurant, the sound of the piano was still so light and calm.

Xun Yu savored the wine lightly while enjoying music.

But the sound of the piano was heard by Zhou Yang's ears, and he was thinking about Fang Yuzhu's sad Jiaowei piano, and he also remembered Cai Yan, who was captured in the Southern Xiongnu, and even more about Sima Yi and the tragic Xiaoyao, etc.

The sound of the piano stopped, and a cloud in white clothes walked from outside the door.

Looking at Zhou Yang's thoughtful look, a little apology appeared on his face, and asked, "Is it okay if I didn't play?"

Xun Yu helped answer: "Miss Yun'er reveals a noble and elegant taste, regardless of her temperament or piano sound, but the most rare thing is that it also has a warm love that makes people enjoy it and worry-free at that moment."

Zhou Yang then came to his senses and said, "Today I can't hear any piano sounds, and my mind is blank!"

Yun'er glanced at Xun Yu's signing expression before bowing back and said, "Then Zhou Lang drinks slowly. If Yun'er is needed, Yun'er will come again."

After Zhou Yang watched her leave with gratitude, he said to Xun Yu: "Actually, I have been wondering whether I can go and meet Ma Teng in person."

Xun Yu said in surprise: "Although the prefect Zhou can represent Cao Gong to see Ma Teng, but..."

Zhou Yang interrupted: "Actually, I have seen Ma Teng a long time ago and Ma Chao. I have lived in Wuwei for a while. If I weren't from the Ma family, I'm afraid I would have died in the vast desert."

Xun Yu obviously had never heard of Zhou Yang's story. He only felt that a strange man had fallen from the world, but he was completely unaware of his origin. He couldn't help but say, "The Zhou prefect can represent Cao Gong, and the imperial court. Now he has this relationship with Ma Teng and others. It is naturally the most appropriate for Zhou prefect to come forward, but why didn't he mention it at that time?"

Zhou Yang was actually quite at ease with his origin, because when he appeared, he was with the group of stable refugees.

In addition, he later joined Dong Zhuo's account. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Guo has been destroyed. Therefore, no one can find out his identity. Even if it is found out, at most it will be a refugee who escaped from Anding.

But he always felt a little uneasy about Ma Yunlu's initial relationship.

Because no one knows better than him that Ma Teng's entry into Beijing would be in danger, and if he comes forward to greet Ma Teng, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of thoughts from Ma Yunlu and Ma Chao.

After so many years, people don’t know what changes have happened, but whenever they see the Nebula sword in their hand, they will think of Ma Yunlu’s words, “When you see this sword, you should see me.”

After all, Ma Yunlu has kindness to him, and he himself has complicated feelings for Ma Yunlu.
