Yuan Shaoxing's soldiers went south, but there was a prisoner cart accompanying the army.

The people imprisoned in the prison car naturally angered Yuan Shao's Tian Feng.

He was imprisoned in a prison car, but he did not have his hands tied and was able to move freely. But it was winter, the weather was cold, and Tian Feng was not comfortable staying in the prisoner car.

Along the way, the soldiers looked at Tian Feng and discussed in private.

The news of Tian Feng's confrontation with Yuan Shao spread quickly in the army, causing the atmosphere in the army to gradually change. The soldiers in the army were full of confidence and high morale, and they all believed that Yuan Shao would decide the outcome of the battle, and no soldier was worried that he would lose.

Such a change made Yuan Shao even more pleased.

Yuan Shao was born in a big family, likes scenery, and likes to be surrounded by everyone.

The praises of Guo Tu, Xu You and others made Yuan Shao even happier and more excited. Yuan Shao was full of confidence, full of anticipation for the upcoming battle, and looking forward to the arrival of victory. At the same time, when Yuan Shao led his troops to chase and kill Li Ru and Jia Xu, the news of his successive victories had already spread.

The farther the news spread, the happier Yuan Shao became.

He won, not wanting one person to be alone, but wanting everyone to know that he has won. Yuan Shao especially hoped in his heart that Cao Cao would know that he had won a big victory and had the opportunity to take Chang'an first.

……

Outside Hangu Pass, in the camp where Cao Cao's army was stationed.

In the camp tent, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, and below sat Xi Zhicai, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, Le Jin and other generals.

Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and said with a smile: "There is news from the north that Yuan Shao defeated Li Ru and Jia Xu and won consecutive battles, but we are stranded outside Hangu Pass, unable to advance, and we have not made any progress until now. ”

The tone was flat, but there was a hint of humor, and most importantly, there was no envy for Yuan Shao's big victory.

Below, the generals laughed when they heard this.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "Lord, Wang Can used Xun You and Guo Jia to lead troops to resist us, and Jia Xu and Li Ru to lead troops to resist Yuan Shao. That Jia Xu's reputation is not obvious, we don't judge this person in favor, but Li Ru is different, Li Ru can assist Dong Zhuo to serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, which shows that his wisdom is outstanding, and there are also Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and other wise and brave generals under the command of the two, it is impossible to lose consecutive battles. ”

Xu Huang continued: "Lord, the drama master is reasonable, and the last general thinks that Yuan Shao may have been tricked. ”

Xiahou Yuan looked sad and said: "Lord, we are allied with Yuan Shao at the same time, if Yuan Shao is defeated, it will also affect us, do you send someone to remind Yuan Shao?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, and said, "You don't know Yuan Shao, he is secretly happy in his heart now." ”

When everyone heard this, they showed puzzlement, what does it mean to steal fun?

Cao Cao explained with a smile: "Regardless of whether Li Ru used a trick or not, it is a fact that Yuan Shao has achieved a temporary victory; On the other hand, it is also true that we have stayed outside the border and made no progress. Although Yuan Shao and we are allies, I still want to see my jokes in my heart, this is the battle between me and Yuan Shao. ”

"If I send someone to remind Yuan Shao, he will definitely think that I am jealous of his victory."

"In fact, Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou, and with the identity of the Yuan family, he has collected the Wenchen generals of the former Jizhou Mu Hanfu, and there are a lot of talents under his command, and there must be someone who can see through Li Ru's strategy."

When Cao Cao said this, the corners of his mouth hooked up an intriguing smile, and said: "It's a pity that Yuan Shao has a stubborn personality and likes to drill the tip of the horns, and he also likes to listen to good words, and he doesn't like to listen to loyal words. I guess that guy can't listen to persuasion, so Yuan Shao must be arrogant now, looking like Lao Tzu is the best in the world, no matter who tries to persuade him, he can't do it. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, Yuan Shao doesn't listen to persuasion, can we sit back and watch Yuan Shao fail?" ”

Cao Cao is not tall, but he has an extraordinary momentum on his body.

He stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and tapped the desk gently, his eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shao's soldiers are strong and strong, and a defeat will not have much impact." We and Yuan Shao are allies for the time being, but we also have to plan for the long term, if we can weaken Yuan Shao's strength, and we can defeat Wang Can, it is good to fail once in a while, as long as Yuan Shao is not completely defeated. ”

Cao Ren said: "My lord, if Li Ru completely defeats Yuan Shao, what will we do? ”

Cao Cao smiled faintly, with a calm face, and said: "Yuan Shao has Yan Liang, the courage of Wen Chou, the best in Jizhou, and the Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan who are both civil and military, as well as Tian Feng, Xu You, Feng Ji and other resourceful people, it is impossible to be beaten by Li Ru, at most it is just to damage some soldiers, which is insignificant." ”

Cao Cao's words were very certain, and he was sure that although Yuan Shao had a small defeat, he would not be defeated.

When Xi Zhicai and others heard this, they did not continue to persuade again, because the things that Cao Cao decided, even if all the generals tried to persuade them, it was impossible for Cao Cao to change his mind.

……

Fufeng County, Ma Teng's lair.

In the past, Ma Teng led the troops into Chang'an, controlled the dynasty, and was in a good place.

The good times did not last long, Wang Can and Cao Cao raised troops to Chang'an and joined forces to defeat Ma Teng. In particular, Wang Can abducted Pang De, making Ma Teng lose a general.

The county warden's house, in the hall.

Ma Teng sat on the main seat, and a seat was added next to him, and a middle-aged man in a green robe was sitting. This middle-aged man is in his forties, with three long beards under his chin, two mustaches on his lips, thin lips, narrow eyes, a faint smile on his face, and a sly light in his eyes.

This person's name is Han Sui, a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou, and Ma Teng's sworn brother.

Han Sui came to Fufeng County after receiving Ma Teng's invitation.

Under the hall, on the left side sat Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Dai and other Ma Teng's descendants, and on the right sat Yan Xing, the general brought by Han Sui, who was quite powerful and was the first general under Han Sui.

Han Sui looked at Ma Teng and asked, "Brother, this time Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu joined forces to attack Wang Can, do you also want to intervene?" Han Sui knew that Ma Teng was defeated by Wang Can and Cao Cao, and also knew that Wang Can had abducted Ma Teng's general Pang De, and now after the news of Yuan Shao's victory spread, Ma Teng had the idea of sending troops.

At first, the outcome of the battle between the two sides could not be determined.

Now Yuan Shao has won consecutive battles, as long as Yuan Shao wins, he will be able to immediately flank Xun You and Guo Jia, and Cao Cao can also win.

After Ma Teng saw such a situation, he also had the idea of sending troops in his heart. However, Ma Teng's strength was a little insufficient, so he brought Han Sui to get Han Sui's support.

Ma Chao said loudly: "Uncle, my father is ready to send troops, I wonder if my uncle is willing to send troops?" ”

Han Sui smiled and said, "Yuan Shao won for the time being, but the situation is unclear!" ”

Ma Teng continued: "Brother Wenyue, as the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, once the two sides have decided the victory, we will send troops again, and I am afraid that the only thing left is leftovers and cold rice, and now sending troops can just help them." ”

After a pause, Ma Teng said again: "If you think about it carefully, Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, and Cao Cao is in Yanzhou, as for Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's jurisdiction, it is even farther away, only the two of us are next to Yizhou. After defeating Wang Can, you can go south to control the Qishan area, and then you can control the west of Yizhou, and I can go south to control the Hanzhong area, so don't we benefit? ”

Han Sui stroked his beard under his chin and said, "With Yuan Shao and Cao Cao here, I'm afraid it's not easy!" ”

When he said this, Han Sui's heart was already slightly relaxed.

If it is said that it is difficult for Ma Teng to control Hanzhong, but he has a lot to do to control the west of Yizhou, because the west of Yizhou is full of mountains and forests, and the roads are difficult to travel.
