Chapter 621 Meng Qi took the state in three ways

PS: A new round of author investigation has come out.,Please also choose.,Which character will be the protagonist in the next book.,It's up to you to decide.。 For individuals, which protagonist is almost the same, so whichever type everyone likes, it's which.

After listening to his lord's question, Xun You was the first to speak up and said, "Lord, this matter is very good!" Ma Mengqi's dispatch of troops and annexation of the state so early is indeed more beneficial than disadvantageous to our army. Although the merger of the state will inevitably fall into the hands of its Liangzhou army, but the merger of the state is not a must-win place for us, so it is okay to give up Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army! It's just that now our army must defeat the Jizhou army as soon as possible, or let Jizhou and Youzhou also fall into the hands of his Ma Mengqi, then it will be very unfavorable to our army. ”

In fact, Cao Cao's side has long studied that his side wants to seize the three states on Yuan Shao's side, of course, this is actually the most ideal situation, after all, it is not only his own Yanzhou army that is fighting with Yuan Shao now.

Cao Cao's side meant that it was best to capture the three states of Youzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou. Yes, firstly, Cao Cao didn't think that he could break Yuan Shao's Jizhou army in Guandu so quickly, and secondly, he didn't think that Ma Chao could be so slow, and he could only take a merge state in the end. Therefore, Cao Cao thought about it the most, his side is to retreat to the second, the least and the least, and he also has to take Qingzhou and Youzhou and part of Jizhou, which is already his bottom line.

This war, for Cao Cao, if he can't get these places, then he will have another battle with his brother Meng Qixian, anyway, it is best to get so much territory, if not, he will be temporarily dead.

Therefore, Cao Cao's words are particularly reasonable, "What Gongda said is indeed good, what else do you have to say?" ”

At this time, Cheng Yu said: "My lord." I heard that Yuan Benchu had locked up Tian Fengyuan Hao and Fu Gong and Fu, this matter is really beneficial to our army, and now without him, Tian Yuanhao still has Fu Gong and He, but the Jizhou Army is not to worry about, Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan still can't bear all the burdens of the Jizhou Army! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, it was still like this. In Yuan Shao's Jizhou army, there are indeed many strategists under the account, but for his own side, the people he is worried about are nothing more than three people. Tian Toyoda Yuanhao, Fu Zhu Fu Gong and Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan, these three people are the three most powerful military strategists in Jizhou. No one else can compare to these three. Now that there are two of the three missing, there is still one Xu You left, Cao Cao was familiar with Xu You when he was a teenager, and although Xu You has the ability, it is difficult for Yuan Shao to use his strategy-

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Xu You. are all friends who had a good relationship when they were teenagers, and the relationship between the three of them really didn't say anything.

But there was a year. At that time, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty had only succeeded to the throne for a long time. At that time, Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, was ready to take the opportunity to control Liu Hong when he went to Mount Tai to worship the sky, and then abolished Liu Hong, the not very good emperor, and set up a Ming lord. Later, Xu You also participated, and then Xu You found Cao Cao, who had just joined the company at that time, but Cao Cao did nod and agreed. But in the end, he told the truth.

In the end, it can be imagined that Wang Fen's conspiracy was exposed, and Liu Hong directly clicked it. Don't look at Liu Hong, he doesn't have any great skills, but at that time, someone wanted to abolish him. Will he still be able to sit still. Therefore, Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, fell into bad luck, just because Cao Cao told the truth, and the matter was revealed, and he ended up dead.

So since this incident, Xu You has never had any contact with Cao Cao. It's that he is very dissatisfied with Cao Cao because of this matter, others may not know how Lu Dao was exposed, but Xu You can know Lu Dao, if he doesn't know Lu Dao, then he is not Nanyang Xu You Xu Ziyuan. He also understood that Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde were loyal people, and if you asked him to abolish the current emperor, he would not be able to do this at all. However, it was only after the fact that Xu Yu realized that it was too late.

And what he is most dissatisfied with Cao Cao is that even if you Cao Mengde is a loyal man, you can see that he Liu Hong is not suitable to be the emperor at all, or what else should he do. And even if you Cao Mengde doesn't do it, you can't just tell the truth, how can you say that you have known you for so many years, a friend, fortunately you escaped quickly, or you have to end up with Wang Fen and him.

So from this matter, Xu Yu can be regarded as seeing through, and now Cao Cao, for his own sake, even disregards the righteousness of his friends, can it be so. So, Xu You didn't have any dealings with Cao Cao, he was afraid that he might follow in Wang Fen's footsteps one day.

In the end, Xu You would rather go to Yuan Shao than Cao Cao, although he also thought that Yuan Shao was indeed inferior to Cao Cao in many places. But there is one thing that Xu Yu can be sure of, that is, he Yuan Shao and Yuan will definitely not be able to do the things that he Cao Mengde did-

Merge the state, Ma Dai led the troops to break the stone city in a battle. I have to say that this Lishi City not only has few soldiers, but the key soldiers have no fighting spirit, so it would be strange if they could defend the city. People can resist the Liangzhou army, that's because they can do their best, but you, the soldiers who are away from Shicheng, don't have the heart to defend the city, so can you still hold it.

After entering the city, Ma Chao took out the household registration in the county and took a look, sure enough, although Xihe County is not a small place, it is definitely a small county. Like the upper county, the population is more than 20,000, less than 30,000, so with such a large county, can you expect it to have many troops to resist its own army.

The size of the county is never measured in terms of the size of the area, but in terms of the number of people. Let's put it this way, counties like Shangjun and Xihe County don't have as many counties in the world as populated. Yes, an entire county can't compare to a city, isn't it?

Like Shangjun and Xihe County, although they are counties, they are small counties. Like Wancheng in Jingzhou and Pingyu in Yuzhou, although they are both county seats, they are definitely big counties and big cities. Much more populous than some counties –

That night, Ma Chao asked people to find Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Guan Hai and Wu Anguo.

Everyone came to Ma Chao's house and said in unison: "Lord! ”

Ma Chao nodded to the four of them, "Okay, everyone sit down!" ”

A few people sat down, and Zhang Fei said directly to his lord: "Lord, these days, it's really boring, really, you said that there is no one in this state." I thought it was such a big county. There can be more people, and it turns out that this is really ......"

Ma Chao just smiled at Zhang Fei's complaints, no way, who let these two counties be like this, but then let Zhang Fei know that there are still several counties that are not as good as these two counties. I guess he might have to pick a pick.

At this time, I heard Ma Chao say: "Yide, Lao Dian, Lao Guan and Wu An, I have other arrangements for a few of you." You won't have to set out with the army the day after tomorrow! ”

Zhang Fei listened. "Lord, isn't there anything good? If there is, let me go! ”

Ma Chaoxin said that if you go, you will definitely be allowed to go, but if you go, you will know that it is not a good thing at all. But Ma Chao definitely can't say this. He could only say: "Yide, I mean to let you lead 30,000 troops to attack the four counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Dingxiang, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Fei listened. Let yourself lead the troops to the battle? To lead troops to war? It didn't seem like something his lord could do, but he couldn't think of anything. Where did he know that Shuofang County, the entire county is not even 10,000 people, to be honest, it is not as good as Shangjun and Xihe County. But Zhang Fei didn't know what to say, and said with a smile: "Okay, since the lord has said so, I will naturally take the lead and lead the troops forward!" I must take down the four counties and give them to the lord! ”

Ma Chaoxin said, it's good if you don't complain about me then, you can still laugh now, but you won't be able to laugh then.

Ma Chao has his own arrangements for the nine counties in the state. Zhao Yun did not follow the army to Bingzhou, that was because Ma Chao had other arrangements for him, Ma Chao asked Zhao Yun to lead his troops to Bingzhou, and then lead 30,000 troops from Chang'an, through Hedong, to attack Shangdang. Then after taking the upper party, the troops entered Taiyuan.

In fact, you can also enter Taiyuan in Hedong, but if you attack Jinyang from that line, the obstacle is too great, so it is really better to occupy the party and then enter Taiyuan. And on this line, the troops entered Jinyang without too many obstacles.

Of course, Ma Chao actually has his own considerations, because he is also afraid that Zhao Yun will attack Jinyang early, so there will be nothing to do with himself. The war and the state, for Ma Chao, how could he have to go to Jinyang first, and even at the same time, it would be fine, but Zhao Yun could not be allowed to enter Jinyang. Of course, Ma Chao didn't think that Zhao Yun would be able to reach Jinyang before him, even if he had this opportunity, Zhao Yun would not go. But in this matter, it's better to follow your own ideas.

Zhao Yun This is all the way, Ma Chaozhi said, it is estimated that Zhao Yun is already a soldier in the party at this time, almost. And now that he is in Xihe, let Zhang Fei and them lead 30,000 troops to take Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Dingxiang four counties, with Zhang Fei's ability, this is still no problem, and they are also all the way.

As for the last road, it is naturally yourself. He entered Yanmen from the West River, and took Yanmen directly, Yanmen is not Shangjun and Xihe, Ma Chao is a Zhilu Dao, there are high-ranking subordinates in that place, and a general named Lu Weihuang is stationed there, so it should not be underestimated.

So far, in the fifth year of Jian'an, in June 200 AD, Ma Chao was divided into three armies to directly take and merge the state. It can be said that his intention is also to speed up, after all, whether he can seize more territory by himself when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are fighting each other depends on his own speed and the progress of Yuan Cao's war.

But Ma Chao also has to say that today's merger is actually quite good. But when it comes time for the army to enter Jizhou, it will definitely not be as smooth as it is now. How to say that Jizhou is also Yuan Shao's base camp, he has been operating in Jizhou for many years, so that place is definitely not something that he can take if he wants to, so Ma Chao still understands.
