Chapter 496 Dong Bai: Yunlu tricked me! Sima Yi: I'm too eager to improve.
Changan
Ma Yunlu hopped and skipped to her father, Ma Teng.
Ma Teng poured out his heart to her about the pain of father and daughter longing for each other, then formally introduced her to Su Yu, and instructed Ma Yunlu:
"Yunlu, call me husband."
"Um???"
Ma Yunlu's pretty face flushed slightly, revealing a hint of shyness.
Su Yu waved his hands repeatedly:
General Ma, you mustn't! You mustn't!
"How can I be so rash before I have even brought Yunlu into the family?"
Ma Teng's expression hardened, and he said seriously:
"Yunlu has long been infatuated with Lord Weiwei."
"What's wrong with letting her call me 'husband'?"
"Besides, does Your Excellency look down on me?"
"Hmph, although I have been busy for most of my life but have gained nothing, Yunlu is my most precious treasure!"
"If the Commandant of the Guards is unwilling to accept Yunlu into the family, then I will smash my head against the wall of Chang'an and die!"
Having said that, Ma Teng really went to smash his head against the city wall.
Su Yu quickly stopped him.
Ma Teng's lips curled up slightly.
The fact that he could hang out with Han Sui for so many years, and have a love-hate relationship with him, means he must be a veteran actor!
In terms of acting skills, he is truly masterful.
After being betrayed by Ma Chao, Ma Teng's mindset changed.
He really hopes to hold his grandson soon.
This was his only wish after finding Ma Yunlu.
Our Commandant Su, a great philanthropist in the eyes of beauties at the end of the Han Dynasty, had no choice but to reluctantly contribute his strength to help Ma Teng realize his wish as soon as possible!
Amidst Ma Yunlu's repeated calls of "husband," Su Yu finally accepted Ma Yunlu into his household.
But that afternoon, Ma Yunlu went to Dong Bai's place and tried to persuade Dong Bai to stay at Su Yu's place.
Dong Bai looked at Ma Yunlu with a puzzled expression:
“Sister Yunlu, you have already married Lord Weiwei, while I am not yet married and cannot be with you.”
Ma Yunlu's clever little head turned slightly, and she said to Dong Bai:
"Sister Bai, this is easy!"
"I'll persuade the Commandant of the Imperial Guards to let you move in too, won't that solve the problem?"
Dong Bai understood Ma Yunlu's subtext.
Before she could refuse, Ma Yunlu picked her up and ran towards Su Yu.
Dong Bai was dumbfounded!
Who said Ma Yunlu is easy to fool? Who said Ma Yunlu is weak?
What the hell...
Here's a little-known fact: Ma Yunlu's preferred weapon, like Xu Huang's, was an axe.
Those who can use an axe as their primary weapon are often very strong.
Su Yu also prepared a generous gift for Dong Bai.
All surviving members of the Dong family are entitled to a property in Xuchang or Yecheng.
Dong Bai himself received a room in the Imperial Guard's residence, which was right next to Ma Yunlu's.
Therefore, Dong Bai and Ma Yunlu don't need to worry about being separated.
These two best friends can rekindle their friendship at the Imperial Guard's residence.

a few days later
Sili Xiaowei Office
As soon as Sima Yi arrived in Chang'an, he couldn't wait to see Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao was greatly pleased by this.
He patted Sima Yi on the shoulder earnestly and sighed:
"Zhongda, you are a grateful person."
"It is my honor to have your service."
They come, the security.
Sima Yi had already adjusted his mindset by this moment. He immediately feigned a look of trepidation and said to Zhong Yao:
"It was your discerning eye that discovered me in the vast sea of people."
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that Su Ziyi would have further suppressed me!"
"If I must express my gratitude, please let me serve you as I would a father!"
Zhong Yao was so excited that tears were almost streaming down his face.
Sima Yi is so considerate!
Even his own son, Zhong Yu, wasn't this considerate!
No, I can't think about Zhong Yu. Thinking about Zhong Yu makes me angry.
Zhong Yao quickly stopped thinking about Zhong Yu.
Little did they know that Zhong Yu, far away in Xuzhou, was frantically dealing with government affairs.
Like his sworn brother Su Yu, Chen Deng was also a kind and honest man.
He could have avoided entrusting government affairs to Zhong Yu and allowed Zhong Yu to completely relax.
But after thinking about it carefully, we still have to give them a chance to train properly!
Therefore, Chen Deng singled out all the difficult, worthless, and potentially offensive administrative tasks and sent them to Zhong Yu, ordering Zhong Yu to complete them within a limited time!
Chen Deng's Picks - You deserve it!
well.
Although Zhong Yu, the Prefect of Xuzhou, was not in the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat.
But his soul, like the cattle and horses in the Minister's mansion, suffered endless torment.
No, it's not even as good as the Minister's residence!
At least everyone in the Minister's office should suffer together, so no one should laugh at anyone else.
In Xuzhou, however, he was the only one suffering!
……
After settling Sima Yi in, Zhong Yao arranged for Sima Yi and Gao Rou to meet and be introduced to each other.
Sima Yi acted as if he greatly admired Gao Rou, praising her to the extreme.
Gao Rou was very happy.
Ever since the Gao family was implicated because of high-ranking officials, it had been a long time since anyone of his generation had praised him so enthusiastically.
Upon learning that Zhong Yao had gathered a full 70,000 troops in a very short time, Sima Yi was dumbfounded and had to admire the strong appeal of Zhong Yao and his powerful family followers!
But what's the use of having more people?
Sima Yi did not believe that Zhong Yao could ultimately defeat Su Yu.
Zhong Yao summoned Sima Yi and Gao Rou into the study and said to them:
“Zhongda, Wenhui (Gao Rou’s courtesy name was Wenhui), this is a topographical map of Hanzhong that I had drawn.”
Zhong Yao took out a map.
In addition to the distinct lines, there are also annotations handwritten by Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao's calligraphy is truly exceptional.
Any random copy of this could fetch an astronomical price in later generations.
Sima Yi and Gao Rou's attention was quickly drawn to Beijia Pass on the map.
There are two common routes from Chang'an to Hanzhong, as well as a theoretically feasible but practically difficult route.
The two common roads are Xiegu Road and Baoxie Road.
The theoretically feasible path is the Meridian Path.
But all three roads ultimately lead to Beijia Pass!
No matter which option you choose, you can't bypass the important gateway of Beijia Pass.
"Zhongda, Wenhui, you two speak freely and help me finalize a marching plan."
"There is absolutely no need to worry about logistics and supplies."
"I have prepared enough provisions to feed the army for a year."
"After that, more and more grain and fodder will continue to be transported in."
Sima Yi couldn't help but gasp.
The family's heritage is truly terrifying!
Gao Rou was the first to give her opinion:
"My lord, considering the weather conditions and the enemy forces that may appear along the way, I believe that apart from the Meridian Road, we should split our forces and proceed along the other two roads."
"Wait for the two armies to converge outside Beijia Pass before launching an attack on Beijia Pass!"
Zhong Yao nodded, agreeing with Gao Rou's words.
Sima Yi's eyes moved slightly.
You don't want to choose the Meridian Path, right?
Then I'll make you choose the Meridian Path!
Dear brother-in-law, dear Commandant Wei.
I, your brother-in-law, really want to improve!

P.S.: Dear godfathers, this humble author also wants to improve! Please, please, give me some gifts, give me some support to help me generate even more energy!!!
