Chapter 484: Cao Cao's Horse (Second Update)
Changyi, in Sikong Mansion, civil and military gathered, Cao Cao on the main throne pressed his forehead, and his face showed pain.
"Father, you better take a break!" Cao Pi on the side suddenly persuaded with concern, Cao Cao's recent headwinds have become more and more common, which makes him anxious as a son, not only because of the love between father and son, but also because the entire Cao family's great cause is completely tied to Cao Cao's body, once Cao Cao has an accident, the great cause will collapse immediately, which is completely different from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao arranged all three sons out and formed his own team, so as long as one of them has great talent, he can still insist, Yuan Xi is like this, and Cao Jiayi has no conditions, The second Cao Cao will not be like this at all, so the world is not unified, which is the root cause of the disaster.
Cao Cao waved his hand, looked at the worries of the civil and military forces in the hall, and grinned: "It's okay, continue to talk about the situation in Xiliang"
"Sikong, Xiliang civil strife, triangular imbalance, Dayan will never let go of this opportunity, so we must stabilize Xiliang as soon as possible, whether it is Ma Chao or Han Sui, it doesn't matter, only a stable Xiliang can lay the foundation for our army to go south to Jingzhou" Xun You immediately stood up and said with a serious face.
Cao Cao nodded, and said with an ugly face: "I have known for a long time that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
"Da Yan must have done something to do this, otherwise it wouldn't be so sudden, but the Ma family was slaughtered by Han Sui, and Ma Chao at this moment has gone completely crazy, even if we send someone over, it will be useless," Cheng Yu frowned and said.
"Yuan Xi is really ruthless, no matter what Ma Teng says, he is also his father-in-law," Xu Chu on the side suddenly said angrily.
"General Xu said well, Yuan Xi is so despicable and ruthless," Guan Yu immediately supported.
Looking at the two of them, Cao Cao and the other civil and military forces suddenly shook their heads with a wry smile, between Wang Tu's hegemony, even if his biological father and son have occasional repetitions, not to mention such a nominal father-in-law, Xiliang is adjacent to the state, if he is not the first to recover, Yuan Xi will never be able to go south with peace of mind.
"It doesn't matter what happened anymore, the most important thing now is how to stabilize Xiliang," Cao Cao said.
"Sikong, the minister suggested to help Han Sui, first, Han Sui dared to slaughter the Ma family, and must have made sufficient preparations, and second: although Ma Chao was extremely brave, but at this moment he was full of sadness, and there was only monstrous hatred in his heart, and he would definitely lose his previous calmness, and if he was handsome, he would be defeated" With a serious face, the unsmiling man immediately suggested loudly.
Shortly after the "last general's reconsideration" came back, Xiahou Yuan, who was discussing military affairs, stood in the first place of the generals and said that since Cao Ren's death, he was a well-deserved first general under Cao Cao.
"The last general also reconsiders" Xu Huang, who was standing in second place, also said, because he had concluded an alliance with Jiangdong, so Cao Cao temporarily recruited the generals from all over the country back, and Xu Huang kept Pyeongchang under the disadvantage, so that Cao Cao paid more attention to him, so he ranked second among the generals.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”
"Sikong, if you help Han, then Ma Chao will definitely hate it, and Ma Teng's Xiliang Thorn History was also canonized by Sikong, does it seem a bit like crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" I saw Guan Yu frowning and said.
"Yun Chang's words are wrong, this can only be blamed on Ma Teng for being too lax, obviously he has the upper hand, but he was indeed victimized by Han Sui" Yu Ban immediately disdainful.
"The last general feels that what Yun Chang said is right, although there are reasons for Dayan, but Han Sui is such a ruthless person, how can he be an ally" Xu Chu said with disdain on his face.
Cao Cao suddenly laughed loudly and said, "The sun is coming out in the west today, and Zhong Kang can also judge the situation."
Hearing this, Zhong Wenwu immediately smiled, and Xu Chu was suddenly a little embarrassed.
After returning from Jingzhou, Liu Ye slowly stood up and said: "Sikong, the minister suggested helping the horse, because Hangu Pass is still in the hands of Ma Chao, and if he controls the Tiger Prison Pass, Bing Feng can directly threaten and merge the state, and Ma Chao is also a brave general, if it is Sikong's gain, he will definitely benefit immensely, as for Han Sui, he is too selfish, if you don't help him, he will never take refuge in Yuan Xi."
"Ziyang, what he said is extremely true, and Ma Chao is not like Ma Teng, the grievances are clear, if the court helps him, he will be grateful, this will be of great help to restrain Dayan" Cheng Yu also nodded.
"But it is difficult to help the horse, if Ma Chao is defeated, then Han Sui will definitely hold a grudge against Sikong, although he will not take refuge in Yuan Xi, but he will not cooperate like he once did" Man Chong said solemnly.
Cao Cao smiled slightly, looked at Xun Yu and Xun You, and said, "Wen Ruo, Gongda, what do you think?" ”
"Didn't Sikong already pay attention? In fact, helping Han and helping the horse is not the most critical," Xun Yu said with a smile.
"Yes, in whose hands Xiliang is in it, it doesn't mean much to the imperial court, as long as it is not captured by Dayan, it is victory, so the key to this battle is not the chaos within Xiliang, but outside Hangu Pass, the Dayan Fourth Army of Shangjun, as for the Eight Banners of Dayan Grassland, it is impossible to defeat Han Sui alone" Xun You said loudly.
"That's right, the civil strife is unstoppable, but the civil strife in a state will subside soon after, so it is right to block Dayan, and the most worrying thing is that after Ma Chao is defeated, he will seek the help of Dayan, then Dayan is justifiably sent troops to Xiliang, and has a righteous reputation, so this situation must be stifled" Cao Cao said coldly.
"Sikong, what are you going to do," Xiahou Yuan said curiously.
Cao Cao immediately stood up and said: "Wen Ruo, you immediately draft a document in the name of the imperial court, hand it over to Hangu Pass, tell Ma Chao, Ma Teng's death, Cao is grief-stricken, if he can avenge the blood hatred, Cao is pleased, and if the battle is defeated, Cao is willing to lead the army to help him take revenge, 50,000 troops are stationed near Luoyang, after revenge, Cao will never want a city in Xiliang, and is willing to marry the little girl"
"No" Xun Yu immediately responded.
"Also, let him be careful, Han Sui cheated the city," Cao Cao reminded.
"No"
"Sikong, you really want to help Ma Chao attack Han Sui" Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan was shocked.
Cao Cao immediately grinned and said, "Cao never lies, but this revenge may be avenged in ten years, maybe twenty years later, who is right!" Haha"
"Sikong Yingming, this may not only prevent Ma Chao from asking for help from Dayan, but even recapture Hangu Pass again" Cheng Yu immediately reacted, he already understood what Cao Cao meant, this is to trick Ma Chao, as long as Ma Chao agrees, the 50,000 army can recover Hangu Pass in an instant, and then immediately contact Han Sui, so that he can quickly stabilize the counties of Xiliang, stabilize the triangle again, and buy time for Cao Cao to go south, and if Ma Chao is lucky to win, he will also be grateful for Cao Cao's kindness, and will not surrender to Dayan.
"The plan is there, but the horses are brave, unparalleled in the world, I'm afraid that the 50,000 army will be difficult to stop, it's really a headache" Cao Cao suddenly said embarrassed.
Hearing this, Guan Yu and Xu Chu immediately stared at each other and stood up one after another.
"Sikong, the last general is invited to fight"
"Sikong, Guan Mou regards that Ma Chao as a three-year-old child, and he can be cut with a knife"
Looking at Guan Yu and Xu Chu who were provoked, a smile flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he said, "Zhongkang, if you leave, who will protect the safety of a certain person?"
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly showed helplessness, and he slowly retreated.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao immediately looked at Guan Yu and praised: "Yun Chang, back then, you killed Huaxiong with a glass of wine, and the white horse destroyed Yan Liang, today I hope that you will make a meritorious achievement and completely surrender this Xiliang horse."
"Sikong is relieved, Ma Chao can't escape" Guan Yu stroked his long beard arrogantly.
