- Ganling City

The original battle flags of the Anton Army on the head of Ganling have been removed, and the battle flags of Han Fu and Ma Qiang are fluttering in place.

Nominally, Ma Qiang is still only a friendly army.

But in essence, everyone understands that the three counties of Qinghe have become Ma Qiang's territory.

Despite this, Ma Qiang did not live in the city, but in a military camp outside the city.

"Cao Cao won Yanzhou?" Ma Qiang looked at Yanzhou, which had been painted with the character Cao on the wall, and only felt that the roots of his teeth hurt a little.

He and Yuan Shao fought openly and secretly in Hebei, and the biggest benefit was actually Cao Cao.

It's really a hell of a life.

"Cao Mengde has already received the support of the Yanzhou scholars, Chen Gong and Cheng Li, the famous scholars of Dongxian County, have defected to him, and Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi and others in the counties of Yanzhou are all his friends.

Ming Gong, Cao Cao can become the pastor of Yanzhou in just a few months after entering Dongjun, and he must have something extraordinary, which should not be underestimated! ”

Although Guo Jia had never met Cao Cao, he also learned from his correspondence with Xun Yu that his two friends were now under Cao Cao's account.

The person who can make Xun Yu defect, Guo Jia will naturally attach great importance to it.

But in fact, there is no need for Guo Jia to say, if you want to say who attaches the most importance to Cao Cao in this world, Ma Qiang can definitely consider himself the first.

This is the later Emperor Wei Wu, who had a time and space conversation with the instructor.

"If our whole army now turns to attack Cao Cao, can we be wiped out in one battle?" Ma Qiang looked at Yanzhou on the map with a gloomy face, calculating the military power in his hands.

Guo Jia only felt a black line.

Did you just say something scary? How can Jun suddenly go to fight Cao Cao regardless of it.

"Cao Cao has moved his army from Dongwuyang to Juancheng, Juancheng is located in the south of the Yellow River, and there are more than ten cities in Yanzhou around it, it is difficult to directly raid, once Cao Cao is defeated by our army, he will inevitably retreat to the south, and this battle will take at least half a year to a year.

If this is the case, we will have to give up Jizhou. ”

Ma Qiang put his hands behind his back, secretly entangled in his heart.

"Ming Gong! Yanzhou Cao Cao sent a messenger to deliver the letter! ”

....

This is called Cao Cao, is Cao Cao coming?

"Please come in!"

After a while, a scribe walked in and bowed to Ma Qiang, "Xiahou Lian has seen Ma Envoyjun!" ”

"Oh, it's Yuan Qian, after courting Dong in the past, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Meng De is in good health?"

Ma Qiang and Xiahou Lian had met, and knew that he was Xiahou Dian's brother and Cao Cao's close person, so they exchanged a few words.

"The clan brother practices martial arts every day, but he occasionally feels a headache."

"A headache is not a trivial matter, it is better to be more quiet and move less."

Listening to the conversation between the two, outsiders may not be able to see it at all, just a few minutes ago, Ma Qiang was still thinking about whether to raid Cao Cao.

"Meng De asked you to come this time, what's the matter?"

"Before, Liu Yuanjun was deceived by villains, which made Qingzhou and Yanzhou quite misunderstood, but now that Liu Yuanjun has passed away, Qingzhou and Yanzhou have no complaints, so Cao Yuanjun sent him to repair!"

As he spoke, Xiahou Lian handed over the letter.

Guo Jia took it, opened the letter and handed it to Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang looked at it, and said with a smile, "Cao Yuanjun has just sat in Yanzhou, and he wants to come to Yanzhou, and he is very busy with affairs, so he still has leisure and leisure, and asked me to go hunting in Boping." ”

"When Cao Yuanjun sent me here, he said that no matter how busy he is, he also wants to see his former friends and talk about his past feelings."

"It's okay, but Boping is too far away, you also know, the traitor Yuan Shao usurped the Jizhou of Han Zhou Mu, and also killed General Anton, I am worried that I will go away, he heard that Han Zhijun is here, and he will come to harass him again, and please Cao Yuanjun come to Lingxian County!

I will prepare wine, food, singing and dancing in Lingxian County, and I will let him come and return happy! ”

Where to go is particular, Lingxian is in Jizhou, Boping is in Yanzhou, who goes to whom, faintly represents who is strong and who is weak, but then again, Jizhou does not belong to Ma Qiang in name after all, and it is placed in Jizhou, and Cao Cao can get by on face.

Xiahou Lian didn't dwell on this problem, and agreed with his mouth, and then Ma Qiang sent him to Yingkou to say goodbye, which was enough to save face.

"Cao Cao wants to see me at this time, what does Feng Xiao think he wants to talk about?"

"Peace between the two states is naturally one thing, and the other is probably money and food."

"He's going to give me money and food?"

You can have this!

Ma Qiang is not afraid of money and food at any time.

"I'm afraid it's the opposite, it's Cao Yuanjun who wants to borrow grain!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "The intrigue of the counties in Yanzhou is extremely complicated, Cao Yuanjun wants to expand the armament, there is no money and food, where is the military force?" ”

Cut, it's not interesting...

Ma Qiang rolled his eyes, borrowing money? No!

Only I, Ma Qiang, borrowed other people's money, when have others borrowed me!

Three days are fleeting.

The news of Jizhou also came back to Youzhou.

Gongsun Xu and Hou naturally cried when they learned the news of Gongsun Zhan's death in battle, and had no objection to Guan Jing's practice of leading the remnants of the army to join Ma Qiang.

Gongsun Xu knows his own situation, he does not have Gongsun Zhan's ambition and ability, in the face of this troubled era, finding a big man to take refuge is the best source.

But Gongsun Xu did not go to Jizhou to report to Ma Qiang, but returned to Liaoxi under the pretext of keeping filial piety, preparing to make a decision after three years when the situation became clear.

Returning to Liaoxi with Gongsun Xu, there were thousands of soldiers and horses led by Gongsun Fan, and Liu Yu named Gongsun Fan as the county guard of Liaoxi under the suggestion of Yan Zhong, and was the general of Andong.

As for the other Andong Army remaining in Jizhou, they were also officially replaced with the banner of the Qingzhou Army.

Zhang He also returned to Hejian with his soldiers and horses, occupied Le Cheng and Chengping, and then confronted the Huaxiong army who rushed to Hejian.

The situation in Jizhou also became a confrontation between Ma Qiang and Yuan Shao at the Qingshui River, and the two partial armies of Yuan Shao and Huaxiong faced off between the rivers.

It was quiet.

- Ling County

Cao Cao attached great importance to this meeting, Wenchen brought Xun Yu and Xi Zhong, the military generals brought Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, and Bao Xin, who had met with Ma Qiang in the battle against Dong, also brought an all-star lineup.

Compared with Cao Cao, Ma Qiang's side is a lot shabby, and the only Wenchen who can handle it is Guo Jia, and the military general brings Zhao Yun.

Don't look at the lack of people, but Ma Qiang feels that the quality on his side is not low at all.

"Brother Mengde!! I've been waiting for a long time! ”

Ma Qiang saw Cao Cao's team arrive outside the city, and shouted loudly from afar, and greeted him with an extremely affectionate look.

"Ahh Don't come unharmed! ”

Cao Cao hurriedly got out of the car, and the two held hands together, looking like good brothers.

"Let's go! I've got a banquet over there! ”

"But the second pot?"

"Enough!"

"Then you're welcome, in Yanzhou, the price of your two pots is terrifying!"

Cao Cao and Ma Qiang held hands and walked towards the camp that had been prepared outside the city, Xun Yu, Xi Zhong and Guo Jia glanced at each other and fell behind.
