Prince East Sea sent them here, first to block Fu Zhi from going to support Yu State and to force Gou Xi to send more troops; second, to prevent him from bringing these soldiers to Luoyang to aid the emperor.
So Ma Jian'en naturally wouldn't agree, and forcefully said, "Please, Book Supervisor, don't put us in a difficult position. You should turn back to Chang'an immediately; that's what's good for everyone!"
Zhao Hanzhang sneered, "You, a Central Lang General, think you can command the Secretary of the Secretariat? Stand up and let the Book Supervisor out!"
Ma Jian'en didn't move, "Under the prince's orders, no one can bring troops from Chang'an to Yu State or Luoyang!"
Fu Zhi grew angry, "Prince East Sea's actions are causing chaos in the country. Are you really going to follow him? Ma Jian'en, don't forget, you are now a Central Lang General of Great Jin. You should be exerting yourself for Great Jin!"
