"It seems.. I don't have a choice. Listening to Zhang Yan's words, Cao Cao sighed and made a choice.

"Zhicai, help me write a letter to Duan Qingzhou, saying that Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others are rampant, and in order to protect the peace of the people of Yanzhou, I ask General Ma Da to help me supervise the military and political affairs of the eight counties of Hebei from Dunqiu to Boping."

"Mengde, no!" As the county guard of Dongjun, Xiahoudun, the first general of Cao's army, first raised objections.

"If we cut the eight counties of Hebei, if we want to lead the army across the river in the future, it will be difficult to climb to the sky!"

Cao Cao is lucky, these brothers of his clan are the same as him, with the world in mind, although now there is only less than one-third of the land of Yanzhou left, but their hearts are also pretending to be the world, and they are also thinking of restoring unification.

"Ming Gong is wise!"

Contrary to Xiahoudun, Xi Zhong clapped his hands and smiled, "General Yuanrang, don't worry, I think Ming Gong will definitely not cede the land for free." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "In order to pacify the Yanzhou rebellion, please enlist the Peking University General's Mansion to borrow 10,000 Yanzhou battle armor, 10,000 bows and crossbows, 20,000 ordnance, 3,000 war horses, and 300,000 grain and grass!" ”

Everyone understood, Cao Cao is exchanging land for soldiers, no, it should be for ordnance.

Cao Cao also thought about asking for the sergeants of Hebei directly that day, such as the Wuhuan cavalry, which made him very angry, but after thinking about it, Cao Cao still gave up.

Chen Gong's betrayal made it difficult for him to trust others now, and his suspicion was almost at an advanced stage.

Now, he wants to train a soldier and horse with his own hands, and is completely loyal to his Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.

"So much... Will Ma Ziyu agree? As soon as Xiahoudun heard Cao Cao's offer, he suddenly felt that he could really get so many things, not to mention eight counties, and a few more could be cut.

These ordnance can equip 30,000 elite soldiers and horses, and it will only be a matter of time before Lu Bu is driven away.

Cao Cao's letter was soon delivered to Duan Ying.

Duan Ying looked at the price list and couldn't help but sneer.

"It seems that Cao Mengde was beaten very badly by Lu Bu, his mouth is so big, it seems that he is in a hurry to recover his strength..."Duan Ying thought about it, and wrote a telegram, asking the communication soldiers to send it to Bingzhou immediately.

- and state

"General Yan, General Wen, both of you are rare brave generals in the world, as long as the two of you are willing, I am willing to treat each other as army commanders, how about it?"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou naturally knew what position the army commander was, and this was already the highest military position in the Northern Army.

They looked at each other, then sat down and continued without saying a word.

Ma Qiang looked at the two elm pimples, and his heart was angry and admiring.

These two people are the top generals in the Yuan army, if they can be subdued, then many of the generals of the Yuan army will also surrender, so Ma Qiang can be said to be determined to win the two.

And after all these years of fighting, Ma Qiang also has an understanding of the abilities of the two, and unlike Lao Luo's puppeteers, the abilities of these two are actually first-class.

The defeat of Yan Liang and Wen Chou in history was because the opponent was too strong, and the combination of Zhang Liao + Guan Yu + Xu Huang plus the resourcefulness of Cao Cao and Xun You, it was normal to lose.

If these two are really bad, they will not always be at the forefront of the talented Hebei generals.

"Two generals, I treat the two of them with sincerity, why don't you say a word, is this the style of Jizhou warriors?"

Yan Liang's eyes opened, his personality was narrow-minded, and he was scolded because of this, where was he sneered at by Ma Qiang, got up and said, "You killed our Ming Gong, we can't take revenge as courtiers, we are already disloyal, how can we surrender to you?" Do you think that all of us are Xu Ziyuan? ”

"Yuan Ben committed suicide at the beginning, what does it have to do with me?"

Ma Qiang rolled his eyes, not considering the question of why Yuan Shao committed suicide.

"Ma Gong, thank you for your love, but our two brothers, we don't read much, but we also know how to write the word loyalty, since we chose the Yuan family, then we have been Yuan's people all our lives, and you want us to change to others? No way!

If Ma Gong is not angry, if he wants our two heads, take them, and the rest, needless to say! Wen Chou also got up and said.

"Hey, I want you to do a lot of things, speaking of which, Zilong and I are brothers, General Yan, you are from the Yan family in Hebei, and we are also half relatives, and we are all brothers."

There is a reason why Zhao Yun and Yan Liang are related, Zhao Yun's master Tong Yuan's wife and Tong Yuan's brother Li Yan's wife are the two eldest ladies of the Yan family in Hebei Yan Yun and Yan Yu, and in terms of seniority, these two are Yan Liang's aunts, so Zhao Yun and Yan Liang are indeed half relatives.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard Ma Qiangla's words, such a relationship between the eight poles, you can say it to you, the general of the expedition to the north.

"Ahem, battalion master, why don't you let me persuade the two generals."

Just when Ma Qiang didn't know how to move the two woods, Gan Shi walked in with a communication soldier, and the communication soldier handed the telegram to Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang glanced at Gan Shi, nodded, and walked to the position to look at the telegram.

"Two generals, come here, we'll talk over there." Gan Shi showed a treacherous face... It's not, it's true

"You old man, what do you have to say to our brother?"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at Gan Shi, and felt very strange in their hearts, obviously their two brothers were the tall side, and when they fought, they let three hands strangle Gan Shi, but in their hearts, they always felt that they were harmless little roosters, and on the other side, what about the weasel with a bad smile?

"You are harming the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world, isn't there any fear in the general's heart?

You are so loyal to the Yuan family, are you forcing the general to kill the Yuan family's bloodline!

Speaking of which, do you actually hate Yuan Benchu very much, so you want him to cut off his children and grandchildren?

If that's the case, you'll just treat me as if I didn't say anything. ”

Gan Shi's words made the two of them look at each other, and then suddenly realized, yes, isn't he forcing Yuan Tan and the others to their deaths?

"Dao Chief, what should we do then?"

"It's simple, if you are really loyal to Yuan Benchu, then you have to scold him! The harder you scold, the better! Then he took refuge in the general, and the general looked at it, ah, this Yuan Benchu was not very popular, so he didn't care about Yuan Tan and the others, let them live well. ”

The two scratched their heads, always feeling that something was wrong, but it seemed to make sense.

"Listen to me, you go out and inquire, who doesn't know that I'm honest and reliable!" Gan Shi patted his chicken breast and said, "I won't blow it with you, as long as you listen to my persuasion, I guarantee that Yuan Mai will not only not worry about his life, but also be able to worship the marquis!" ”
