The 42nd Li Su Erjiang was heavily appointed, and Wang Shangshu was promoted to Sifu.

  Ma Fu's parents passed away when he was two years old, and he was taken in by the Shaolin Temple. At the age of twelve, he joined a very mysterious organization in Huaxia Country due to a combination of circumstances. Here, apart from training that exceeded human limits, he learned at this fully enclosed "university". During the three-year training period, he never left the courtyard surrounded by high-rise buildings, which looked ordinary.

  In the underground of this seemingly classical courtyard, various advanced training facilities are neatly arranged. It is also because of the help of these modern instruments, plus Mav's physique different from ordinary people, that he can possibly rush through the layers in the cruel screening.

  At 15 years old, he once annihilated five enemies without even blinking an eye, for which he received a commendation from the leader.

  From the first time he killed someone, until his soul was transferred, in a flash of four years, his life was filled with slaughter. It can be said that except for blood, he saw nothing else in that vast world.

  It was exceptionally cruel for a living person. But he endured it. Fortunately, although he had killed countless people, his heart did not become cold-blooded, and that warm current still flowed quietly.

  As he listened to Yunying's story, he unknowingly left tears in his eyes, and it was as if even he himself found it strange.

  In a vague and uncertain manner, the horseman felt that the protagonist in the story was Yunying, but Yunying flatly denied it with an expressionless face.

  It's already late, and his stomach has been growling for a while. The horseman said, "Let's head back to the city, or else those cavalrymen following us will probably starve to death."

  Yun Ying said: "Considering you've already cried five times, I'll let you off this time."

  The two of them finished speaking and then reined in their horses to return to the city. Meanwhile, those several cavalrymen saw that they had turned back and were now rushing towards the city like jackals.

  The city of Wuwei was quite harmonious, but in Luoyang City, there were undercurrents surging and it was hard to distinguish between friend and foe.

  Han Sui, Li Jue, Guo Si and others have been seeking opportunities to make up for their losses since they suffered a great defeat.

  Han Sui then led Li Jue, Guo Si and the remaining soldiers back to Mayi in Jincheng Commandery after reporting to Dong Zhuo.

  In Yu, Han Sui and others accelerated the pace of military training. After Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's suggestion to let Wang Yun go to Xiliang to issue a holy edict, he let Han Sui and others go to Luoyang.

  Li Cui and Guo Si were extremely nervous, but Han Sui was not tense at all. After all, the troops had been divided into three routes, and only his route had won. As for this point, he still had to thank Jia Xu again.

  Jia Xu's mind was already in a mess, thinking that he had the strategic mind of Guiguzi and was good at unusual tactics, but he never thought he would be defeated by Ma Chao and Ma Teng.

  "You have lost the battle at Xiliang, what crime should you be guilty of?" In the imperial court, Dong Zhuo stood in front of Li Su and Guo Si, extremely furious, to the point where Han Emperor Xian trembled with fear and stood up many times as his voice rose and fell.

  Li Jue and Guo Si both said in a frightened manner: "Ma Teng and Ma Chao are both skilled at using cunning strategies, deceiving our great army, and taking advantage of the heavens' timing and geographical advantages..."

  "Enough! I don't want to hear your explanations! Come on, take them away and behead them!"

  Li Su and Guo Si, the two generals, were stunned upon hearing this. They had not expected Dong Zhuo to really want to kill them, and they hastily begged for mercy. All the officials on the court also interceded on their behalf.

  Although Emperor Xian of Han was still young, he trembled with fear and said to Dong Zhuo: "Dong Xiang, now is the time for our great Han dynasty to use people's talents, I beg you to spare their lives."

  Dong Zhuo said, "You two were defeated in the Western Liang, and you lost a large number of soldiers. You should be executed for this crime. However, since the Emperor has spoken on your behalf, I will spare your lives this time. Take your troops to Yangzhou to regroup and recruit more soldiers. This time, I will only give you 5,000 elite soldiers. You must quickly recruit back the soldiers you lost previously. If not, come and see me with your heads in hand."

  The civil and military ministers heard this, and their hearts were immediately dissatisfied, but they did not dare to speak out. The Raozhou was the county seat of Beidi County, which could block Ma Teng in the west and protect Luoyang in the east. It also echoed with Jingzhao County, forming a strategic position that was extremely important.

  Li Cui and Guo Si, these two men were defeated in battle yet not only did they not receive any punishment, but instead were sent to guard such an important location. The court officials are truly gnashing their teeth in anger.

  Jia Xu listened to Dong Zhuo's arrangement and thought to himself that this plan must have been devised by Li Ru.

  There is now Han Sui guarding Yuzhong, which can be said to have formed the first line of defense against Ma Teng and Ma Chao. Li Jue and Guo Si's two generals went to Yanzhou, which undoubtedly formed a second line of defense against Xiliang. In addition, there are eight passes defending near Luoyang, these eight passes undoubtedly became the third line of defense. With these three lines of defense in place, even if Ma Teng and Ma Chao had great abilities, they would not be able to approach Luoyang one step.

  Seeing that none of the officials dared to oppose him, Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled. Besides, where is Jia Xu?"

  Jia Xu, who was still deep in thought, heard Dong Zhuo call him and hastily raised his head, saying: "Your humble servant Jia Xu is here."

  Dong Zhuo said: "From now on, you will follow Li Jue and Guo Si. You must not fail again; otherwise, I, the Prime Minister, will not forgive you."

  Jia Xu knew that anything said by Dong Zhuo was basically set in stone, so he had no choice but to agree.

  As for Han Sui, Dong Zhuo stepped forward to help him up and said: "You will be rewarded for your merits and forgiven for your faults. From now on, you are officially appointed as the Governor of Yong Province. Go back and guard Yong Province well."

  Han Sui was deeply moved and tearfully replied: "I, Han Sui, will certainly rush into boiling water or walk through flames, and am willing to die a thousand deaths."

  Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "I only need your life, remember to be on high alert against Ma Teng and Ma Chao when you return. When the time is ripe, follow my orders and take action. If those two are eliminated, I will definitely reward you heavily again."

  Han Sui was even more grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

  After handling the affairs of Han Suo, Guo Si, Li Ru and others, Dong Zhuo said to the ministers: "The Prime Minister has received news that Wang Yun will return to Luoyang today. Should we go to welcome the great contributor who is working hard for the country?"

  All the ministers hurriedly agreed, and Emperor Xian of Han also said: "Wang Gong did not decline the hard work, went to Xiliang far away, in my opinion, after he returned to Luoyang, I will appoint him as 'Cishi', I don't know what Dongxiang thinks?"

  The court suddenly fell into a brief silence, and Dong Zhuo burst out laughing: "We are all the emperor's subjects, the emperor likes to reward who will reward who, for this, Ben Xiang has no opinion, this is also what Wang Yun deserves!"

  The officials saw that he had actually agreed, and in their hearts they were overjoyed.

  Emperor Xian of Han then led his officials out of the city walls for thirty miles to welcome Yuan Yu.

  The already exhausted Wang Yun saw this situation and suddenly had tears streaming down his face.

  Dong Zhuo then stepped forward, grasped his hand and said: "Your Excellency has gone through great hardships on this trip, it's not easy to return alive. The Emperor has already appointed you as the Minister of Works, I offer my congratulations to Minister Wang!"

  Wang Yun suddenly felt a sense of being favored, and after thanking the Emperor and Dong Zhuo, he said to Dong Zhuo: "This old bone is still hard, can still make some efforts for the great Han Dynasty."

  Emperor Xian of Han, who was standing beside him, said with great joy: "General Wang is the pillar of the country, and his precious sword is not old. I believe that you and Dong Xiang will definitely make my Great Han show its majestic power again."

  Dong Zhuo thought to himself after hearing this, "Although the Emperor is young, his ambition is quite large. Moreover, this little Emperor is very good at taking advantage of opportunities. He must be watched closely from now on..."
