Yuan Shao clasped his fists and said, "The only leader of the senior official is to follow the leader."

Ding Yuan hesitated: "As the saying goes, before the army moves, food and grass will go first. When we attack Hetao, our army suffered heavy losses and the loss of money, grain and supplies is even greater. I am afraid that I can no longer afford a large-scale conquest within a year and a half. Of course, if the two adults insist on attacking Hetao, I will still provide help within my ability."

Han Fu and Yuan Shao looked at each other, clasped their fists to Ding Yuan and said, "Since that's the case, I will leave first."

Yuan Shao then stood up, clasped his fists to Ding Yuan and said, "The officials have also said goodbye."

Ding Yuan smiled faintly and replied with a fist: "Two sirs, please walk slowly, I will send you away soon."

Shangjun, General's Office's Seminar Hall.

Ma Yuezheng summoned Jia Xu and Ju Shu to discuss the matter.

Jia Xu said to Ma Yue: "After the last defeat of Hetao, Geng Bi, Ding Yuan can no longer threaten his lord in a short period of time. Han Fu and Dong Zhuo may have this strength, but Jizhou is too far apart, and Dong Zhuo seems to be more keen to conquer the Qiang soldiers and have no intention of competing with his lord for Hetao. The last time he condemned Han Sui to go to war, he just wanted to use the killer to capture the eight elite soldiers under Han Sui."

Ma Yue said in a narrow voice: "This Dong Zhuo cannot be underestimated."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf disciples are not inferior to their lords. They should not be underestimated. However, the mountains and rivers are far away and there is no meeting with their lords. Even if they are determined to make plans, they are beyond the reach. Fortunately, the lord now has a solid foundation. Now that Qin Hu has destroyed, he has finally had a population of more than 100,000 under his rule. As long as he manages well, he can slowly recover his vitality within three years and start to use troops to the surrounding and Liang prefectures."

Ma Yue turned his gaze to Ju Su and said in a singular voice: "Sei bet."

Ju Su bowed his hand to the horse and said in a stern voice: "Lord."

Ma Yue said: "I will entrust you with the important task of governing Hetao. You will decide on any internal affairs by yourself. I will never interfere with you."

Ju Su responded dejectedly: "Super~~Receive the order."

Ma Yue turned around and asked, "However, I want to hear your thoughts, how do you plan to manage Hetao?"

Ju Su sighed and asked back, "I'm going to ask you aloud, don't you know what the lord's ambition is?"

Ma Yue said, "How do you say this?"

Ju Su said: "If the lord only wants to settle in one corner and dominate Hetao, the lord's system of 100 households created by the lord will be enough."

Ma Yue said: "What if I want to invade the capital of the South, the Three Guards and sweep the Central Plains?"

Ju Su said: "If the lord wants to invade the capital of the south, the three servants and enter the Central Plains, it will be difficult to achieve only by ceasing the 100-household system. The 100-household system can effectively manage the nomadic races and maintain a cavalry that can conquer and fight for the lord, but it will be difficult to govern the Han people. If the lord wants to have abundant money and grain and prosperity in Hetao, the lord still has to rely on the county system."

Ma Yue and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "I don't know anything. There are many tigers and wolves under my command, but I lack scholars. The county system is indeed good, but where will I go to find so many prefects and county magistrates?"

Ju Shu said: "There is not a large population under the rule of the lord, and it is only the mouth of a county in the Central Plains. It is enough to give only one person."

Ma Yue suddenly said, "If someone can help me, I will be noted. This person's surname is Ning, his name is You'an, and he is a famous scholar in Beihai. It's a pity that he is stubborn by nature and does not want to serve in the general's office. If he has time, he might as well persuade him, just treat it as the benefit of the people of the world."

Ju Su said helplessly: "Super~~Receive the order."

Ma Yue said to Jia Xu again: "Wenhe, Qin and Hu have been pacified, and our army has gained a firm foothold in Hetao. The Hetao strategy has finally achieved the second step! Next, it is time to attack the Xianbei people in Mobei. Before the last expedition, I originally wanted to burn the Mobei grasslands with fire, but the result was not very satisfactory, and the fire could not be burned."

Burning the grassland?

Although Ju Su looked shocked, there was not much unbearable expression in his eyes.

After all, the Han people were quite xenophobic at that time. The deep-rooted concept was that they were not of our race and their hearts would be different. Even the Wuhuan and Southern Xiongnu races who had already attached themselves to the Han Dynasty, the Han people often held wariness and did not dare to relax a little. There were also many Rong and border generals in the Han Dynasty who came from aristocratic families, read books of sages since childhood, and knew benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. However, when massacred Hu people, they were not as ruthless as horse butchers.

Jinyang is outside the tent, Han Fu is in a big tent.

Han Fu sneered: "It seems that Ding Yuan was afraid of being beaten by Ma Yue! Such a good opportunity, he was unwilling to send troops."

Yuan Shao said: "If you don't send troops, you won't send troops. Ding Yuan himself is not enthusiastic. Why are we joining in the fun? Anyway, after the Ma Butcher gained a foothold in Hetao, the first person to use it was Ding Yuan. There is a Bingzhou between Jizhou and Hetao. No matter how powerful the Ma Butcher is, this butcher knife will not be able to bear the head of an adult in three or five years."

Han Fu nodded and said to Zhang He: "Send the order, the army will set sail today and return to Yecheng."
