Chapter 479 Huang Quan returns to the Han Dynasty
Cao Rui's sudden and decisive reply almost made the minister duck to his waist.
The feelings of the clan general and even the prince are not as important as the hussar general, right? As expected, he is indeed our good Majesty Long Yang. This is indeed outrageous.
Facing the complicated eyes of his close ministers, Cao Rui waved his hand without changing his expression and ordered them to reply to Ma Su and agree to the substitution. Although he was very distressed that a great talent fell into the hands of Xi Shu, Cao Rui finally chose Qin Lang.
No matter what, these are his good "friends". He can't even abandon his favorite.
What's more, that old man Huang Quan has been doing nothing since he came to the north. He is even worse than Xu Shu. After all, Xu Shu knew how to pretend, but Huang Quan didn't even pretend, he just made it clear that he just wanted to fish.
Moreover, Huang Quan is already quite old in a few years. He is older than Ma Su, and he probably won't live for a few more years. Since Ma Su insists on going back, let him do it.
This is how Cao Rui comforted himself. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, at least Cao Rui believed it.

In a house in the easternmost part of Luoyang, an old man was sitting in the house, drinking tea calmly. Although a large number of Wei soldiers outside scolded him to pack up his things as soon as possible and move the capital, he didn't take it seriously.
This old man is Huang Quan. In the past, due to the tragic defeat at Yiling, his retreat was cut off by Soochow and he was forced to surrender to Cao Wei with 10,000 troops.
Up to now, Huang Quan has been in Luoyang for thirteen years. Although Cao Wei always treated him well, Huang Quan always maintained a fishing attitude to express his attitude towards the Han Dynasty.
"Thirteen years have passed, and Kong Ming has really helped the Han Dynasty rise again. He even regained Chang'an, forcing Cao Wei to move the capital. He is truly worthy of Wolong." Huang Quan looked outside, smiled slightly, and couldn't help but sigh. road.
"It's a pity that in such a good situation, I, Huang Quan, can only be a sloppy old man in the north. It's sad to watch the big man rise again but do nothing."
Although Huang Quan was not an old revolutionary of the Ji Han Group, he thought that after Liu Bei took control of Yizhou, he also joined the team to support the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei also had great affection and righteousness for him, and quickly appointed him as General Zhenbei after he came to the throne. Even after he was forced to surrender to Cao Wei, he still treated his family well. Such kindness was worthy of Huang Quan's life in repayment.
It's a pity that now he can only waste his time day after day in this north that does not belong to him.
Just when Huang Quan was sighing that he might die of old age in Cao Wei, he suddenly saw a court official coming in outside his house. After seeing Huang Quan, this close minister came forward very disdainfully.
"Huang Quan, don't be stunned. Come with me quickly. It's time for you to go home."
"Go home? Going to Yecheng?" Huang Quan rolled his eyes and pointed his nostrils at the other side.
"Go to Chang'an! Your good colleague Ma Di dared to hold the prince hostage in order to take you back. It's really unreasonable!" A nearby minister didn't have a good look on Huang Quan and snorted coldly.
"Clean up and leave quickly!"
"Ah?" Huang Quan was suddenly stunned, a little unbelievable at this result.
So... can I become a man again?

In June of the thirteenth year of Jianxing, Huang Quan, a Han minister who had been staying in the north for thirteen years, came to Hangu under the escort of the Wei army. Both sides knew about credibility, and in the end Ma Di exchanged Huang Quan for Qin Lang, Cao Fang, and Cao Shuang.
So far, after thirteen years, Huang Quan has returned to the Han Dynasty again.
It is worth mentioning that the price of Huang Quan is one Cao Fang and one Qin Lang. Cao Shuang is purely a tack on the guy. After all, Ma Di thinks this guy is really not worth much.
Before leaving, Ma Di said enthusiastically to young Cao Fang,
"You are welcome to come back when you have time. You are very welcome in Guanzhong. It would be better if we could call Cao Rui to Chang'an together. Your Majesty would like to see Cao Rui very much."
Seeing Cao Fang's frightened face turned pale and almost crying, Ma Di took back his hand and handed Cao Fang back.
But when Huang Quan came back, Ma Su's attitude quickly became serious. When Huang Quan was still more than ten steps away from the front of the formation, Ma Su quickly jumped off his horse and personally stepped forward to help the veteran.
"General Huang, welcome back! The Prime Minister has missed you for a long time, and His Majesty also hopes that you can come back." Ma Di respectfully said to Huang Quan, and helped the veteran back to his military formation.
"Youchang, I didn't expect you to become a general after all." Huang Quan also recognized Ma Su, and looked at the strange and familiar colleague in front of him, and felt a little excited for a moment.
"General Huang still recognizes Su, which is a great honor."
"Of course I remember you. When we were in Chengdu, you were famous for being eloquent and familiar with the art of war." Huang Quan said with a smile. Ma Su accepted the compliment without hesitation and replied with a smile,
"Yes, that's me..."
"Then I chased the late emperor every day to talk about the art of war. As a result, I was kicked out by the late emperor every time. I was still there at the time."
Ma Su: "..."
"Is there a possibility, then maybe you are me..."
"Okay, Ma Su! The mountains and rivers meet, and we will meet again!" Cao Shuang also returned to his own formation at this moment, then turned to look at Ma Su, and snorted coldly.
"Next time we meet, I will definitely defeat you head-on and take revenge!"
"Okay, you are welcome to come back to the Han Army prison camp. I will welcome you at any time."
Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang's face suddenly fell. It was obvious that he had been stabbed to a painful point again. However, he did not get angry, but endured it.
After being beaten by reality for so long, Cao Shuang also understood the reality. Anger is useless, you still need to learn to tolerate it.
The two sides exchanged prisoners outside Hangu, and then the Wei army slowly retreated to Beimang Mountain, where the army relied on the pass to defend. Ma Di escorted Huang Quan and slowly retreated into Xiaohan Road, withdrawing his troops towards Guanzhong.
"Youchang, did you run to Luoyang with only 500 cavalry? And you also captured all the hussar generals and princes of the puppet Wei?" Huang Quan saw Ma Di's troops and thought about the Wei army's response. Ma Su was in awe and couldn't help but ask.
Over the years, he had heard of Ma Su's reputation in Luoyang, and Cao Wei was very afraid of him. Huang Quan was very curious about this. How capable is this Kong Ming's apprentice?
"There's nothing to say. Even if God comes, he won't be my opponent, Ma Di." Ma Di didn't care about this and didn't take Cao Wei seriously at all.
But soon, Ma Su thought of something again, and suddenly looked at Huang Quan, his expression a little embarrassed.
"By the way, General Gongheng, when you see the Prime Minister, you must say a few good words for me, otherwise the Prime Minister will tear me alive."
Ma Di is greater than God, but Zhuge Liang is greater than Ma Di...
