In the winter of the first year of Yonghan (189 AD), General Ye Zhao of the Wei Dynasty led the deployment to leave Luoyang and return to Hanoi in the name of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Yonghan was the year name used by Liu Xie to ascend the throne. This undoubtedly represents a beautiful wish for the perpetual solidarity of the Han Dynasty, but this year was not peaceful. The year name alone had four year names: Zhongping, Guangxi, Zhaoning and Yonghan.

As Ye Zhao left, no one in the Sili area could hinder Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's power became increasingly powerful and his behavior became more and more unscrupulous. He even stayed overnight in the dragon bed and foul the palace.

But these are just rumors. With Ye Zhao's observations during this period, Dong Zhuo may be swelling, but he should not do such things. He may say that he is arrogant, but he may stay in the dragon bed at night and filthy the palace. Not to mention that Dong Zhuo has no intention of doing such things in the current situation, even if he has this heart, Dong Zhuo's obesity and body that is nearly fifty a day is still powerless.

With an average lifespan of 35 to 40 years old in this era, Dong Zhuo, who is nearly 50 years old, is indeed considered to be old.

As these news spread, it seemed that the Kanto princes had given an excuse to attack Dong Zhuo. Although the slogan of killing Dong Zhuo had not yet been put forward, it was difficult for the imperial court's government orders to come out of Luoyang again. The Kanto princes had begun to directly reject the imperial court orders, and chaos in the world had emerged!

However, all this does not matter much to Ye Zhao for the time being.

Huai County, the prefect's office.

"What is Ye Zhao's intention to station troops in Huai County at this time?" Wang Kuang looked at the staff in the mansion with a panic expression.

No wonder Wang Kuang used to listen to He Jin's tent. When Ye Zhao first entered Luoyang, because he was kind to Cai Yong when he was young, and Ye Zhao and Yuan Shao were in the honeymoon period at that time, Wang Kuang took good care of Ye Zhao.

However, later, as the conflict between Ye Zhao and the Yuan family gradually deepened, Wang Kuang naturally stood on Yuan Shao's side to reject Ye Zhao, which made the relationship between the two worse than before. Later, the two sides broke up completely. When Yuan Wei signed up for Wang Kuang as the prefect of Hanoi, he also wanted to cut off Ye Zhao's retreat. At that time, Ye Zhao had already wanted to retreat, and it was Yuan Wei's step that forced Ye Zhao to stay in Luoyang.

Now that time has changed, He Jin has died. Although Wang Kuang was the prefect of Hanoi, almost all Ding Zhuang from Hanoi was recruited by the Ye family, or they were private soldiers for the Ye family, or followed the Ye family caravan to trade the world. After Wang Kuang took office, although he actively developed military affairs, he had already been taken advantage of by Ye Zhao. To this day, the Hanoi official army is less than 4,000, and not even as many as Ye Zhao's private soldiers, let alone Ye Zhao is now stationing 30,000 troops outside Huai County, training day and night.

Not to mention the combat power, Ye Zhao can mobilize troops in Hanoi now, and the Ye family's private soldiers have nearly 40,000, which is ten times his strength. What's more, in terms of war, ten Wang Kuang tied together may not be Ye Zhao's opponent. Although Ye Zhao did not make things difficult for Wang Kuang after returning from crossing the river, he was like a sharp sword hanging on his head that made Wang Kuang panic all day long.

Since Ye Zhao came back, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. Every time he closes his eyes, he feels like he sees Ye Zhao breaking in and chopping off his head. This is more painful than just coming up and chopping him up. Finally, he can't help but summoning his staff to discuss Ye Zhao's affairs.

"The Lord of the Mansion is friendly to the prefect of Bohai. Why not ask him as an intermediary and ask the governor of Jizhou Han Fu to kill Ye Zhao?" An aide bowed and said, "Why can others sleep soundly when you are sleeping beside the bed? Ye Zhao stationed heavily in Han Fu in Hanoi, how can Han Fu be at ease? It is better to join forces with Han Fu and Yuan Bohai will eliminate him!"

"Han Fu is so brave. He heard that Ye Zhao came across the river and had long been deployed in the Muye area." Wang Kuang smiled bitterly: "Besides, Han Fu was staring at Benchu ​​at this time to prevent him from rising up, how could he help?"

"It may not be impossible!" The aide smiled and said, "The so-called one time and another, although Han Fu is afraid of Yuan Bohai, the land of Bohai is vast and sparsely populated, and Yuan Bohai has only tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Ye Zhao's command, so how important or not? Even if Han Fu doesn't know, Jizhou has outstanding people and wise men, how can he not know this?"

Wang Kuang was a little hesitant when he heard this. The circle of the aristocratic family was so big. He had seen through Han Fu's virtues for a long time. With his scrupulous spirit, even if he agreed to deal with Ye Zhao, he might not have just changed his mind or talked about it. However, he couldn't care about so much at this time. Ye Zhao was standing sideways, which really made him unable to sleep. He nodded and said, "Then I'll write two letters to Benchu ​​and Han Fu."

If there is no way, just withdraw. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He never thought of quarreling with Ye Zhao. No one would support him in the local wealthy family. After all, Hanoi is considered Ye Zhao's hometown. With the local complex of this era, even if the Hanoi family doesn't like Ye Zhao, they will never help him deal with Ye Zhao. In terms of influence, he is really not as good as Ye Zhao, let alone in other people's nests.

Compared to Wang Kuang's panic all day long, Ye Zhao has become much more comfortable these days. Although it is winter, he talks about the past and present with Xi Zhicai every day, and trains soldiers with a group of soldiers, or relaxes with Liu Wei and Xin'er.

Liu Wei was weak after giving birth, and during the time she was pregnant, Ye Zhao was mostly not around and was worried all day long. Moreover, although the family members tried not to talk about these things, some news came into her ears. If Xin'er had not served her carefully every day, she would probably not be able to get out of that shadow. Therefore, after giving birth to Lin'er, Liu Wei and Xin'er became more and more intimate in their relationship, and now they are even more reluctant to part with each other, which also makes Ye Zhao taste the blessing of being a common person.

Ye Zhao's eldest son was eventually named Ye Zheng by Ye Zhao. He was born in this era of war and may be Ye Zhao's heir in the future, and he is destined to be with the army in this life.

The little guy is delicate and inherits his parents' genes, which is very pitying.

"What do you want to deal with Wang Kuang?" Just after the heavy snow that day, Liu Wei knew that Ye Zhao liked such weather, so she took the initiative to invite Ye Zhao to come out to appreciate the snow. She leaned against Ye Zhao from left to right and asked with Xin'er.

"What?" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "When those barbarians said I was not going to do it, they put their ideas on you?"

Since Ye Zhao returned to Hanoi, Xiahou Lan, Ji Ling, Xu Rong, and Guan Hai have expressed similar meanings one after another. After all, Hanoi is Ye Zhao's territory. Now that he wants to support his army, how can he have no territory?

"Husband is angry?" Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao carefully. Before marriage, because of his encounter in Cai's house that night, he was a little afraid of Ye Zhao. Although Ye Zhao loved him in every possible way after marriage, his fear became much weaker. He occasionally scattered the princess's willful and willful temper on weekdays, but as long as Ye Zhao became serious, Liu Wei would unconsciously become cautious.

"That won't be." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "If women interfered in military affairs in the past, they would have been dissatisfied with their husbands, but now..."

The affairs of the Nefan Camp touched Ye Zhao a lot. Even in this era, women may not be all vassals of men. They can still kill enemies and participate in politics and affairs. Sometimes, they may be more effective than men.

"Wang Kuang is a snobbish person and has made things difficult for his husband many times when he was in Luoyang. Now that his husband has military power, why should he be polite to him?" Liu Wei said unhappy.

"Stand in your position, you can no longer act with personal grudges. Every move you and I will involve too much." Ye Zhao gently stroked Liu Wei's back and hugged her in his arms and smiled: "Madam wants to take care of these things, but she will not stop her husband, but can you know that there is a saying that a master is famous?"

"I will naturally know this." Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao in confusion.

"Knowing how it is but not why it is because it is because it is not. "Ye Zhao looked into the distance and sighed: "A Wang Kuang, whether it is life or death, is all in my mind. However, if he is killed, it will attract hostility and even attack from the entire northern princes. If you are in a big way today, the heroes of Guandong are about to attack Dong, and Wang Kuang is Yuan Shao's close friend. If you kill him at this time, we will be considered Dong Zhuo's camp. Dong Zhuo has natural dangers at Hulao Pass, but I don't have it. If the princes make things difficult for me and want to come and sacrifice my flag, we may run away in a hurry again. Your husband, I have no interest in running to Dong Zhuo's command and being transferred to the mercy of others. Therefore, it is definitely not an opportunity to seize Hanoi at this time."

Looking at Liu Wei's expression that seemed to be illiterate, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "One is to pull the whole body and move the whole body; the other is to be named Wuming, and forcibly acted, it will only usher in hostility and rejection from the princes of Guandong, and the wise will not take it."

"My wife can also discuss matters with me, but she must first read the military strategy and political strategy. Otherwise, sometimes, good intentions will do bad things." Ye Zhao smiled. It was probably the first time in his life that he had explained these things so patiently to others.

"Husband, the big man... take it seriously..." Liu Wei's mood suddenly became a little depressed and said in a daze.

"Qin lost his deer, and the whole world chased it, and the same is true for the Han Dynasty! I don't want to deceive you because of my husband." Ye Zhao blocked Liu Wei's shoulder and smiled: "Madam, don't worry, I promised the late emperor for my husband. I will protect the Han family's blood for one day!"

"A woman can only participate in national affairs." Liu Wei lost her spirit.

"Madam, as long as you are happy, whether you want to participate in politics or live happily, you will be your husband." Ye Zhao touched Liu Wei's hair and smiled: "Since you have entered my Ye family, I have the responsibility to make you prosperous and worry-free for your husband."

"Well~" Liu Wei had never heard these love words, and she felt a little sore in her heart. She leaned in Ye Zhao's arms and refused to come out for a long time.

"Lord...uh..." Dian Wei rushed over and saw the scene in front of him, and his voice suddenly stopped.

"Didn't you take your vacation and let you get intimate with Liu?" Ye Zhao looked at Dian Wei angrily and said.

"Uh... the woman was pregnant and drove me out to do things. I had nowhere to go, so I went back to the barracks for exercises, and then was tricked by Xu Rong. When a scout intercepted two letters, she brought them to the lord for reading." Dian Wei scratched his head awkwardly.

"How many days have you been back now? Your experience is quite rich." Ye Zhao was amused by Dian Wei, let go of Liu Wei, who looked reluctant, and took two letters from Dian Wei and said, "Since you have nothing to do, I will follow me to the Nefan Camp tomorrow and train with the girls."

"This... isn't it?" Dian Wei felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not just you who go there. Tomorrow the army will conduct exercises, and each army will gather in the Nevant Battalion. If you don't go, go home to accompany your wife, and Zilong will accompany me." Ye Zhao spread the letter and cursed with a smile.

"Go." Dian Wei said hurriedly.

After reading the two letters, Ye Zhao couldn't help but grinned and laughed at the corner of his mouth: "Wang Kuang, that's all the best."

"What happened?" Liu Wei said curiously.

"My name is here, Dian Wei, send me an invitation to Wang Kuang's mansion. Tomorrow, the military will be performed in the school and 'invited' him to me." Ye Zhao's pronunciation on the word "invitation".

"Here!" Dian Wei understood and agreed and left.
