Chapter 1148: A dilemma
The alliance stipulated that the two clans would celebrate together for three days, but after taking the oath that day, Ma Chao quietly rushed back to the Liucheng County Ya Hall. As soon as he entered the hall, the warm and humble look on Ma Chao's previous face suddenly disappeared, and he was immediately replaced by a gloomy and extremely sullen atmosphere.
Sima Yi did not participate in the alliance between the two clans because he had not yet performed the crown salute. Seeing Ma Chao walking into the hall, he couldn't help but say casually: "Congratulations to the lord, this performance has been exchanged for hundreds of thousands of brave men in Wuhuan." If the Ma family destroys Xianbei again, the benefits of the cavalry will be the best in the world, and no one will be able to stop the Ma family's pace of dominating the country......."
It's a pity that the joy on Sima Yi's face has not yet been expressed, Ma Chao's chest suddenly rises and falls violently, and he spurts out a mouthful of blood at Sima Yi! Behind him, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu were immediately shocked when they saw this, and they both stepped forward to support Ma Chao and said, "Lord! ”
Sima Yiden was also stunned, and after wiping the blood on his face, he also rushed to Ma Chao and said, "Lord, hasn't your internal injury improved?" ”
Ma Chao, who was pale, glanced at Sima Yi with great complexity, and the emotion in that glance was difficult for Sima Yi to understand. But maybe he also had his own senses, and he subconsciously stayed away from Ma Chao. But Ma Chao didn't seem to see Sima Yi's reaction, and shook his hand weakly and said, "Those who talk on paper will defeat the Ma family!" ”
Zhao Yun and Tian Yu were suddenly confused by Ma Chao's brainless words, but Sima Yi on the side rolled his eyes and said: "But it is said that Yang Xiu handled a bad case in Hedong, causing the lord to be attacked in the Flying Fox Path?" ”
encountered the attack of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and there has always been a question, that is, how could Xu Chu and Dian Wei ambush in that tea shed in advance, and set up such a seamless poison plan with one ring on top of another? Afterwards, although Ma Chao and Sima Yi did not say anything about it, they both knew that there was no other possibility except for Xi Zhicai successfully returning to Cao Ying and leaking Ma Chao's whereabouts!
That assassination was the closest Ma Chao ever came to death. Once the head of the powerful family of the Xuanhe Huang Han family falls, the situation in Jizhou will be reversed in an instant, and even more, the entire Ma family, four states and five places will fall apart. Such a dangerous and irreparable major mistake, Yang Xiu didn't even give half a minute in advance, and made Xu Chu and Dian Wei wait for Ma Chao to throw himself into the net!
What is the use of such a useless strategist?!
"Lord, give Yang Xiu a death!" After Sima Yi told Zhao Yun and Tian Yu about the cause and effect of Ma Chao's assassination, Zhao Yun, who had always rarely been angry, immediately drank and spat out, and the condensed and murderous aura on his body was unnaturally leaked out for a while.
"This man really deserves to be killed!" Although Tian Yu was the same as Zhao Yun in a large way, at this time, he couldn't contain the anger churning in his heart.
However, after Ma Chao heard this, he waved his hand again, and said in a very low voice: "Yang Xiu's matter has not yet been conclusive, and it is not too late to deal with it after returning to Chang'an to find out." What I was angry about was ......." took out a spy report from his arms, Ma Chao's right hand trembled a little, and his eyes were even more reluctant to take another look at the originally innocent envelope.
"Chang'an was besieged by an army of 70,000 Huns, and Liu Bao rebelled?!" Zhao Yun read the content first, and the murderous aura that was still a little reserved had no reason to suppress it, and suddenly filled the entire hall, so that Sima Yi on the side did not dare to look up at this general, who had always been gentle as jade.
"My lord! Give me 10,000 iron horses, I will be ......." Tian Yu clenched his fists and just wanted to ask for his life, but suddenly thought that Liucheng was thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and if he really waited for his reinforcements to arrive, I am afraid that Chang'an City would have been captured for a month.
At this time, Tian Yu's eyes when he looked at Ma Chao were really reverent. It's hard to imagine how this young monarch carried the bad news of Mount Tai in his heart, and still made a generous statement on the altar to collect the heart of Wu Huan? How did he feel angry at that time, and how did he want to leave the altar in a hurry? …….
"Lord, Chang'an still has Xu Rong guarding the town, and Li Ru, a poisonous man. There are all the county soldiers, and there are 5,000 of them, and there are even militiamen who have received military training to climb the wall to defend the city. In addition, Chang'an is poured with red brick cement, the city is high and the wall is thick, and there are countless trenches, the Huns have always fought with fast cavalry, if they want to capture Chang'an City, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. The lord only needs to rest in peace, and in the danger of Chang'an, there will be good news in ten days....... "Zhao Yun is a handsome man after all, after some anger, his mind is more clear, and in an instant, he will put the situation in front of him.
"Not necessarily ........" Sima Yi shook his head, the eyes of this demon revealed a wisdom that did not match his age, and he sighed and said: "What General Zhao said, how can Liu Bao not know? Moreover, one step closer, this Liu Bao has not moved for two years, why is there another counterattack at this moment? If it weren't for someone behind the scenes who instigated him, how could he give up the interests of surrendering to the Ma family? ”
After asking three questions in a row, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu's faces became even more cloudy. And Sima Yi then said his inference: "If there is no poisonous plan to break the gate of Chang'an, even if Liu Bao is a pig, he will not be the enemy of the Ma family!" ”
A thick and fluctuating aura permeated this hall at once, just under the blood stains that Ma Chao spat out. Although it cannot be seen or touched, it has penetrated deeply into the hearts of Zhao Yun, Tian Yu and Sima Yi, brewing, fermenting, and spreading like a poisonous weed.
However, Ma Chao still seemed to think that the crazy growth of this poisonous weed was not fast enough, he lowered his head and said leisurely: "It's not that simple, even if Yang Xiu is stupid, it is impossible not to even have the basic common sense of sending a letter; Chang'an was trapped, but it was again at the time of the Jizhou War; And ......."
The dizzy Ma Chao almost said the worry about Sima Yi in his heart, but at the last moment, he still held back the words that had reached his lips, and changed his words coherently: "There is also Cao Ying's silence these days, I always feel that Cao Cao will have a big deal in the future, calmly change the situation in Jizhou, and leave us in this quagmire where we can't take care of each other!" ”
"This? ......." Zhao Yun and Tian Yu can no longer express their mood at this time, if it is as Ma Chao said, then all this is a puzzle laid by Cao Cao behind the scenes. Although Ma Chao escaped by luck, in the future, the Ma family's army may lose Chang'an, and if he retreats, he may let go of the good situation in Jizhou.
Even though Ma Chao played a meritorious feat on the battlefield of Jizhou, which is unattainable by the world, on another level of the battlefield, Ma Chao was played with by Cao Cao, who was the last striker, under the applause - you must know that Ma Chao can fight so simply this time, it is completely because of the fact that the soldiers are full of food!
Abandon this reason, and compete with Cao Cao on the Jizhou chessboard, Ma Chao, the young eagle, is far inferior to the gorgeous and domineering Vermilion Bird, which can stir up the brilliance of the conspiracy after the common people.
"Lord, the current plan, we must solve the matter of Youzhou as soon as possible, and go all out to advance to the ......." Sima Yi, the only one who can be a strategist in front of him, was in charge at this time, and pointed at the void, as if Ji, He, and Si Sanzhou were in front of us: "We must go all out to advance to the east of Hezhou!" ”
"Hedong?" After hearing this, Ma Chao smiled miserably: "Do you want to start from Hedong, and the army will directly attack the Xiongnu royal court and completely cut down the Huns?!" ”
Zhao Yun and Tian Yu heard Ma Chao's explanation, and their male bodies couldn't help but be shocked: What a domineering momentum, such a big appetite!
Without thinking, an ancient nation will be razed completely. Such a strategy actually came from the mouth of a fifteen-year-old boy? - Zhao Yun and Tian Yu never thought about it, but the young man in front of him actually said this plot so lightly!
"It's too whimsical, you know, the grain and grass of our army can't support it for a long time." Ma Chao shook his head, this unsolvable proposition was in front of him, and he was helpless - fighting a war and conquest has always been the most money-burning business.
"Then even if there is a Ma family army to besiege the city to help, the Huns under Chang'an City also have elbow and armpit troubles, and they dare not act rashly......." Sima Yi still wanted to insist, but Ma Chao shook his head dejectedly: "Then you never thought that Cao Cao was waiting for our army to mess up, so that he could easily and calmly return to Yanzhou?" ”
"What do you mean? ……..” Sima Yi, Zhao Yun, and Tian Yu heard this, and suddenly understood what Ma Chao meant.
"Yes, this is the dilemma that Cao Cao set for me." Ma Chao's heart was agitated, but he was helpless: "Moreover, we are running out of time.......
