Chapter 1344 Zhang Xun entered the palace

Lu Su looked at the three bright lights rising above Xiangyang City, and saw that the three bright lights were flickering on and off, fluttering in the air, and there was a possibility of falling at any time.

Before that, he also heard the shouting of killing from Xiangyang City. But when the city gate was actually opened and the drawbridge fell, he suddenly felt uneasy. Then he looked up at the boundless night sky, and saw that the stars were dim and slaughtered, and he couldn't help frowning.

"My lord, can you drive the army straight in?" Seeing Lu Su hesitating like this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"The dark clouds cover the moon, the void is shining, the dragon hides the tiger in the dark clouds, and thousands of murderous aura, this is the danger of ambush soldiers......" Lu Su's face was solemn, looking at Xiangyang City close at hand, only to feel that the dark city gate was like the huge mouth of a devouring monster, waiting for the fat food to rush in.

"What kind of bullshit ambush?" Zhang Xun was a little impatient, after all, it was Ji Ling who was in the same vein as him in Xiangyang City. Although there are no elite soldiers and strong generals in Xiangyang City this time, the war can never be inferred by common sense. Once Ji Ling has any changes, leaving him alone in Liu Bei's army, he is even more lonely, and he said urgently: "If you and the other two dare not enter, you can take me as the vanguard and enter the city to find out!" ”

On this expedition, Liu Bei did not designate a commander. Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, and Chen Zhi have the same official positions, and there is no subordinate relationship at all. But an army cannot be left without an owner, so it led to an even stranger thing - this time Liu Bei did not entrust others, but handed over all the military power to Lu Su, an outsider.

When Lu Su heard Zhang Xun's words, it was inevitable that there would be a gap in his heart. However, when he keenly saw the fierce color flashing in Chen Zhi's eyes, he suddenly felt a feeling in his heart, and immediately bowed down and said: "Since General Zhang is so arrogant, then please ask the general to lead his subordinates to go and find out the truth!" ”

After saying this, Zhang Xun snorted coldly and took the order. Lu Su looked back and saw that Chen Zhi's face was not surprised or happy, but the hand that clenched the spear in his hand was a little looser. He knew it in his heart, and smiled at Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi understood, nodded lightly, and then surrendered his eyes to the Xiangyang City Gate.

Seeing that Liu Bei's soldiers and generals already had factional disputes, Lu Su sneered even more in his heart. However, he didn't think much about it at the moment, and also looked at the city gate.

Zhang Xun easily made his way to the city gates, and his path was filled with closed houses and police soldiers rushing around, as well as ruffians dressed in rags and carrying sticks and stones.

At present, this kind of chaos made Zhang Xun even more sneering at Lu Su and Chen Zhi's caution. He had 2,000 cavalry under his command to clear the way, which played a good role in clearing the obstacles. The only cavalry of the Northern Army in Yuan Shu's hands that could fight moved quickly, and his combat power was not weak. Whenever he encountered those county soldiers who only had second-rate combat power, Zhang Xun always rushed up in person and killed them without leaving them behind, which made him have more expectations for the Kuaijiawu Fort ahead.

"My lord, I think you're a little worried this time." Seeing that Zhang Xun's troops had completely penetrated into Xiangyang City, and there were only a few bows and arrows at the head of the city, Chen was a little skeptical of Lu Su's judgment at this moment. After all, the essence of being a warrior is the indomitable and indomitable fighting spirit in his bones.

"Why, General Chen doesn't believe it either?" Lu Su turned his head, and his tone was a little more affirmative than before.

"I don't believe it, but I think adults are a little too timid." Chen Zhi is still outspoken.

"Well, it's better for the general to be a little calm." Lu Su simply smiled, pointed to the city and said, "General Chen, you should still remember the time when the most poignant killing in Xiangyang City was before, right?" Then a stick of incense time, the cities of Xiangyang opened, and General Zhang Xun broke in. But have you ever thought that General Ji Ling only made a surprise attack on Kuaijiawu Fort, and even if those soldiers defending the city got the news, they didn't dare to rescue without Kuaiyue's order. And if they didn't go to the rescue, why did the city head only sporadic a few arrows snipe at the enemy in the face of Zhang Xun's breakthrough at this time? ”

"This? ......" Chen Zhi's face changed greatly, he didn't expect Lu Su to observe so meticulously, and suddenly said: "My lord is saying that they want to cover up?!" ”

"That's right," the smile on Lu Su's face disappeared, and then replaced it with a touch of anger that had failed: "In this way, I am afraid that Xiangyang City has already taken precautions, and it will not be taken by us tonight." For now, we only have ......"

Before the words fell, I saw the sound of 'creaking', and the suspension bridge, which had been lying flat and falling, was slowly pulled up at this time, and the open city gate was closed inch by inch. Chen Zhi was stunned and looked at the scene of the peak in front of him, and his back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat......

Zhang Xun in the city didn't know that such a movement had happened behind him at this time, he ran all the way to Kuaijiawu Fort, and saw that there was a lot of coming and going in front of him, and the soldiers in the uniforms of the public security county rushed towards Kuajiawu Fort, and they were fighting happily inside and out. At the moment, he was overjoyed, thinking that Ji Ling had broken through Kuaijiawu Fort and was defending with all his might, so he couldn't help but speed up and shouted: "Don't worry about Fuyi, Zhang Xun is here!" ”

Ji Ling inside the door heard this familiar voice, his eyes closed, and he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of sadness in his heart. However, at this moment, he couldn't think too much, Tai Shici stepped forward and walked out in parallel with him.

Zhang Xun had already grabbed the door of Kuaijiawu Fort at this moment, and was about to kill. But I didn't want to, and when I looked up, I found that there was a familiar figure standing on the nest car. Although the sky was dark, he could not see the man's face clearly, and the man's right arm was clearly bandaged. But with years of familiarity, Zhang Xun still recognized that person was Ji Ling at a glance!

"Fuyi, what are you? ......" Zhang Xun always felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong at this time, he looked at the conspicuous 'Taishi' banner on the nest car, the majestic general beside Ji Ling, how could the big knife in his hand not be as cold and hard as when he first came, and he was a little more hesitant.

"General Zhang, let's put down our blades." Tai Shi Ci made a move, and the Kuaijiawu Fort, which was still in chaos before, was immediately quiet. All the soldiers who fought in chaos, whether they were dressed in public security uniforms or strong men in the courtyard, all aimed their weapons at Zhang Xun. At the same time, on the Kuaijia Arrow Tower and in the windows of the surrounding houses, countless cold crossbow arrows flashed in an instant.

There was no need to look any further, listening to the sound of neat footsteps, Zhang Xun knew that there were still many elites who were surrounded from all directions. Zhang Xun felt his heart sink more and more, as if something terrible was about to happen in the next moment. A heart was beating in the chest, almost jumping out.

What's going on and why?

Zhang Xun looked at this sudden change in the situation of Kuaijiawu Fort, and his intuition made him want to escape immediately. But in the end, he still gave up that unrealistic idea, and in the end, he didn't get angry, nor did he put down the steel knife in his hand, but asked Ji Ling on the nest platform leisurely: "Fuyi, what are you doing this for?" ”

Ji Ling laughed miserably, when he boarded the nest platform, he had already thought about this scene. But until Zhang Xun asked in person, he still didn't have a perfect answer. In the end, his eyes fell on Zhang Xun, and he pondered for a moment before he spoke: "No why, I just think that there are enough people who have died in this troubled world. Moreover, Liu Bei can't be Ma Chao's opponent......"

"But as military generals, our fate is like this!" Zhang Xun also laughed miserably, and he looked a little unwilling: "What's more, in this final battle, there is not only Liu Bei, but also Sun Ce of Jiangdong." Even, Cao Cao of Yanzhou will be involved! ”

"So, more people will die like this!" Ji Ling suddenly roared, and he ignored the blood that was dripping from his right arm due to emotional shock: "Haven't you seen that there is no righteous war in troubled times!" Liu Bei said that Kuang Fu Han Room, but in the end, he was not doing the same thing as Cao Cao and Ma Chao! None of them, the so-called princes, these heroes, care about the life and death of Li Shu in the world, and we will always be just their minions, the tigers and wolves they drive! ”

"So, you joined the Ma family?!" Zhang Xun couldn't understand Ji Ling's logic at all, and with his position, he couldn't judge when this troubled world would end.

"I don't know if the Ma family can end this troubled world." Ji Ling said frankly, then glanced at Tai Shici, and with a touch of relief, said to Zhang Xun: "However, the Ma family is the only prince who accepts that we can no longer go to the battlefield. So, I chose the Ma family...... Or rather, I chose to escape. ”

Zhang Xun sighed when he heard this, how could he not be the same as Ji Ling. At the beginning, Yuan Highway played the role of Huaisi, commanded 400,000 elite soldiers, and connected Sun Ce and Gongsun Zhan, which was indispensable. But in the end, the death was miserable, the people in Huaisi were displaced, and in just three years, it turned from a rich land of fish and rice to a desolate city with white bones.

So, in the end, he hesitated slightly, and also let go of the big knife in his hand......

Chapter 1345 is finally about to be a decisive battle

"What is this?"

In Shangshu Taizhong, Ma Chao held Guo Jia's final battle report, and his somewhat haggard face was a little unspeakably weird. With a wry smile, he asked Jia Xu, who was aging next to him, "Jia Fox, you said that we won or lost the battle in Jingzhou?" ”

"Naturally, I won." Jia Xu opened his eyes and looked at Ma Chao with some doubts: "Xiangyang has not been lost, Sun Ce's 70,000 army has lost more than 20,000, and he can't hide in Lujiang." Such a record, no matter where it is placed, is also a good news. ”

"However, Lu Su ran away." Ma Chao's brows furrowed, he knew that Lu Su's disappearance had the most impact on the overall situation of Xiangyang. Originally, his plan to stay in Jingzhou was to hope that Guo Jia could break the conspiracy of Sun Liu's coalition army against Xiangyang internally and the Jiangdong army externally.

But in today's situation, Lu Su disappeared without a trace immediately after the chaos in Xiangyang City, and no matter how many times Tai Shici released scouts to explore deeply, he could not find Lu Su's whereabouts. As a result, Xiangyang could not make the illusion that it was broken by the Sun-Liu coalition army, and attracted Liu Bei's army to attack.

For the control of the whole world, Ma Chao has set up a rather treacherous overall situation. He first hoped that Guo Jia would succeed, and after leading Liu Bei to send troops rashly, whether it was Chang'an sending troops to recruit or a letter of surrender, he could catch Liu Bei, who was already halfway through the march and could not advance or retreat, by surprise, so that the plan of the three of them to jointly defeat the Ma family would cut off their arms before leaving the army!

As for Liu Bei's dispatch of troops, all the ministers of the Ma family expected that Liu Bei would inevitably make a big move in the near future. Even, the degree of urgency is even greater than that of Sun Ce. After all, as an outsider with a 'Son of Heaven' hat on his head, he wants to gain a firm foothold in Xichuan, and there is no other way than to send troops to brush up his prestige with the righteousness of 'restoring the Han family'! Otherwise, if you are at peace with Xichuan, not to mention that those Xichuan scholars will be disobedient to the yang, even Liu Xie will also be separated from him. In that way, he fell into a vicious circle of internal frustration and external difficulties, and the result was half the effort, and the gain outweighed the loss.

But now that Lu Su has escaped and ascended to heaven, even though Liu Bei is depressed and sad, he doesn't know what to do next. A full game of chess, just because of Lu Su's change, the game was completely wasted. Ma Chao could only look at the endgame in a daze, take over and re-arrange.

And, now there is one more thing, that is, the Yangtze River Ganning. Originally, the overall plan was all in Jingzhou, and Gan Ning only needed to block the Sun family, but now, Cai Mao was reprimanded, Sun Ce's strength was not damaged, and the two armies were stationed under Lujiang City. At that time, how could Gan Ning, who only had less than 20,000 Jinfan sailors under his command, be able to deal with Sun Ce, who had at least 60,000 troops in Lujiang City?

Not to mention, there is also an extremely unstable Cai Mao under Gan Ning's command. The seizure of 30,000 troops was an expedient measure. Now that the overall situation has changed, Cai Mao has room to maneuver. After thinking about it, Ma Chao felt that this decisive battle had been pulled into a whirlpool that was becoming more and more uncontrollable.

"Now it seems that the three fronts of Hanzhong, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou, which are fully prepared, still need to guard against Liu Bei; Zhang Liao has already attacked Xianbei and cannot be mobilized for the time being; Youzhou Tian Yu needs to intimidate Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and he can't move lightly; Jizhou, Yingchuan, Luoyang, the three lines ......"

Having said this, Ma Chao's voice couldn't help but be a little low, everyone here knew that those three lines of defense were Ma Chao's most troublesome opponents, and they were also a prince second only to the Ma family in this troubled world. Therefore, Ma Chao simply took it here and continued: "Now it seems that the only force that can be used is Wen Cheng of Nanyang, and the 40,000 troops are transferred to Ganning, which may solve the urgent need......

"My lord, there are no sheep in the sheepfold, so what good is it to make up for it at this time?" Sima Yi on the side spoke, he glanced at Pang Tong beside him defiantly, stood up directly and said: "This chess game is chaotic, the lord will do this golden remedy again, but change the soup and not the medicine." Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce all have good strategies and celebrities, and this time they may have realized the lord's plan. Why not just remove this chessboard and set up a new game? ”

"What do you mean? ......" Ma Chao moved, only to feel a large pen in the chaos in his mind, and his eyes were full of light.

"Yes, what he means is that the lord can completely start from this, take the lead and fall first, and catch Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Cao Cao off guard. Otherwise, only one army from Nanyang, not to mention the loss of labor and money, the chaotic situation in the world is still chaotic, it is better for the lord to use the thunder knife to cut out a bright future! Pang Tong was unwilling to be held by Sima Yi like a one-person wisdom pearl, he also stood up, and begged on his knees: "Weichen is bold, and I also ask the lord to give an order on this, Chang'an 100,000 iron cavalry will be prepared on the same day and send troops to Xiangyang!" ”

Pang Tong's last words fell, and Ma Chao slowly closed his eyes. It is true that, as Sima Yi and Pang Tong said, the previous chess game had been broken, and he was helpless to get entangled in it. The only way to break the game is to break the previous game and start over!

This is like Ma Chao setting out a table of dishes for people to eat, only to find that the quality of the food is not up to par. It's too petty to take it and return to the pot, so it's better to remove this table of banquet and put on a table of new dishes!

It's just that the only difference is that others eat just bamboo chopsticks and soup spoons, and they take the world as a feast, but they eat with swords and swords, corpses and bones, and there will inevitably be rivers of blood during the banquet, not to mention several shocking sword marks carved on this table.

However, Ma Chao could not refuse such a temptation. At this time, when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to listen to the cry of this troubled world. Countless muffled voices rang out from all corners of the Fourteen Prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty, whispering and telling. As if driven by those countless unjust souls, I implore Ma Chao to end this troubled world with the last battle at this time!

This is no longer a person's crossing for no reason, nor is it an endless legend. This is the fateful call that this era has been looking forward to for many years, has long been condensed into ashes but is unwilling to be extinguished, and the bearer of the call is the military order blurted out by Ma Chao......

He needs to shoulder the heavy responsibility of this era.

Therefore, he couldn't help but smile in the end, looked back at Jia Xu, and asked in a tone that was already sure but charming, "Master Jia, what should you do?" ”

"The lord has been wishing for many years, isn't it at this time?" Jia Xu asked rhetorically, the knife coin in his hand that had been rubbed for many years had been gently tucked into his sleeve.

"Good!" Ma Chao finally stood up, lost no time in shaking the brocade robe, stretched forward with his right arm and pointed to the south, his voice was full of spirit and high morale: "Pass my order, the Chang'an army will prepare for war on the same day, and send troops to Xiangyang three days later, using Xiangyang as a stronghold, and slowly oppress Liu Bei and Sun Ce!" ”

The generals retreated when they heard the order, especially Xu Rong and Li Yan, whose faces were even more solemn, one of them was responsible for the army's conquest and advance, and the other was responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. What's more, with their intuition that they have experienced a lot of battles, they already know that this expedition is unusual......

This battle is the final decisive battle of the Ma family to lay down the unification of the world with all their might!

After this day, all the talents of the Ma family from all walks of life were busy. With Ma Chao's temperament, he must have hoped that this battle could be fought all at once, and he would never allow it to be prolonged for too long and turn this war into a war of attrition—in this way, it would be a terrible disaster for this already ruined country.

The clouds of war began to overlap and overlap within the boundaries of the Ma family, and the elaborates of the two sides hurriedly rushed back and forth, the envoys lobbied like a marquee, and the letters expressing their respective positions were passed from state to county, and the people and local officials in the war zone were nervous to death. weapons, armor, rations, horses, soldiers, vehicles...... Everything has to be mobilized, collected, bought, and built......

Three days later, Ma Chaoqin led 50,000 iron cavalry and 50,000 elite guards of Chang'an from Chang'an, crossed Tongguan to Nanyang, and re-walked his road to the south of Xiangyang. When Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Cao Cao heard this, they were all very shaken. Until this time, even the most ignorant country old man would say when he saw others: "The final battle is coming......

Yes, it's finally time for the final showdown......

Chapter 1346 Cao Cao is still coming?

Ten days later, Ma Chao entered Xiangyang, and Nanyang Wencheng had rushed to the aid of Jiangxia Ganning.

"Let's talk about it, after planning for so long, and finally returning here, how should this battle be fought?" Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar buildings in the county guard's mansion, Ma Chao thought of the scene before he came, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

It was Zhen Mi, who had been waiting in Chang'an for two years, came to visit late at night, and after hearing the news that Ma Chao wanted the army to pacify the world, the first thing he said when he saw Ma Chao was to ask softly and desperately with a tearful face: "After this battle, how long will it take for you to come back." ”

Ma Chao didn't say the time, he knew that he was very sorry for Zhen Mi, especially after canceling the marriage contract with Da Qiao. Aunt Liu proposed that the marriage contract remain unchanged and only replace the bride with Zhen Mi, but Ma Chao resigned because he was upset at the time. That night, I saw the true confession of Zhen Mi, who was known as 'Luoshen' by later generations, and after he went through the love tribulation, he finally gently held Zhen Mi's face that was already crying, and said: "I don't know when I will come back......"

The hope in Zhen Mi's eyes was extinguished like a candle in a strong wind. But then, Ma Chao put a kiss on Zhen Mi's forehead: "But I know that when I return, it will be the day I marry you." ”

Zhen Mi's eyes suddenly lit up several times brighter than before, that night, she burned like a red candle to her heart's content, and all her good things were performed in front of Ma Chao, just wishing it to be a farewell to Ma Chao's last battle.

Since ancient times, he has been a little heroic, and he has annihilated his daughter's love several times.

Ma Chao didn't want to be a man who didn't believe in his word, in order to be grateful for all the happiness and talent he had come to this world, he needed a clear strategy. Therefore, when he asked Sima Yi this time, he was very condensed.

"Lord, this chess break is already very beneficial to our army." Sima Yi is calm and light-hearted. Before entering Xiangyang, he had already made a plan in his heart: "At present, there is still no movement on Liu Bei's side, but our army is pressing, and Liu Bei can only choose whether to fight or not." This time, it seems that he has a lot of concerns, and our army can ignore them for the time being. ”

After saying this, Sima Yi took a sip of tea, and without the presence of Jia Xu's old fox, he seemed to be more free: "In the same way, the Yanzhou Cao family's side can also be like this." ”

"At present, it seems that only Sun Ce's family has put on a posture of never dying with the Ma family. However, Sun Ce still didn't know that the city of Lujiang was a place where hatred for him was brewing, and even if the army was stationed, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that the people of Lujiang would not have their hearts set on the Ma family. Not to mention, in the rear Sun Quan, the lord has already planted the seed. This time, it seems that the lord only needs to go down to the Lujiang River first! ”

"Oh?" Listening to Sima Yi say so relaxed and casual, Ma Chao's mood was much better. Moreover, he found that although Sima Yi seemed to be in chaos, he was a person with a strong sense of the overall situation.

Just as the Ma family's army went down to Jingzhou, it moved the whole body. The 150,000-strong army besieged the Lujiang River, and such a big move would definitely alarm the Liu and Cao families who were watching the fire from the other side. They all know that the three families join forces and don't know if they are the opponents of the Ma family, if Ma Chao attacks Lujiang and goes straight to Jiangdong's lair. At that time, Liu Bei, who is in a corner of peace, or Cao Cao, who is surrounded by the Ma family, will no longer be the opponent of the Ma family.

That is to say, as long as Ma Chao is so slight, these two will definitely make a move. At that time, Ma Chao had the initiative in his hands, and when he saw the move, he was no longer in such a predicament.

"My lord, in order to be safe, before sending troops, our army should salute first and then soldiers." Pang Tong also stood up with a smile, as if as long as Sima Yi was there, the two of them would not be able to look at one person with peace of mind.

However, for this, Ma Chao was amused in his heart. Originally, on this expedition, he still wanted to invite Jia Xu over as a giant rafter for Qingtian to sit on the giant rafters. But Jia Xu shook his head and said to Ma Chao: "This world is already the world of young people. There are Sima Yi and Pang Tong fighting each other, and the lord is afraid that there will be no clever plans to offer? ”

Now it seems that the situation is indeed as Jia Fox expected. Seeing this, Ma Chao can simply use the word Lao Huai to describe his mood, and at the moment he snickered in his heart, but he pretended to be serious and asked Pang Tong: "How to salute first and then soldier?" ”

"Lord, Sun Ce is like a dragon trapped in the shallows this time, and our army just wants to use this to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. Weichen thought that the army could be encircled, pressing step by step, using force and threats, and sending envoys into Lujiang to supplement it with political surrender. In this way, not only can the seeds planted by the lord in Sun Quan grow strongly. At the same time, wouldn't it be good that the Ma family's army could be moved lightly to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight? ”

"Wonderful!" Ma Chao clapped his hands and praised, sighing that there was this wise man by his side, comparable to a million lions.

However, just when Ma Chao had not yet considered sending the envoy to Lujiang, the guards outside the door entered and said: "Lord, the envoy of the Cao family has arrived in Xiangyang, I don't know if the lord can receive it?" ”

"Cao Cao sent a messenger?" Ma Chao was slightly stunned, looking a little incredulous: "Who is coming?" ”

"The eldest prince and his wife of the Cao family."

"Cao Ang and his wife?" Ma Chao was even more puzzled when he heard this, he had been an envoy since ancient times, but he had heard that he had brought his family members together as hostages, but he had never heard of bringing his wife to negotiate with him.

"Lord, you also know Lady Cao Ang, she used to be our shadow ......"

"Tang Xiaomi? Is she married to Cao Ang?! Ma Chao was even more shocked, and he couldn't understand what kind of medicine Cao Cao was selling in his gourd: "What does Cao Cao want to do this time?" ”

"Lord," Sima Yi laughed at the moment, stimulated by the powerful external force of Pang Tong, but he was really becoming more and more active in the wisdom of the minister: "This Cao Ang and Tang Mi can become a couple, so doesn't the lord think that the Cao family and the Ma family will form an alliance three times?" ”

"Alliance?" Ma Chao was suddenly speechless, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. But after thinking about it, he felt that the possibility proposed by Sima Yi was not half a point.

Although the Ma family and the Cao family have always formed an alliance after fighting, they tore up the alliance and fought again after the alliance. But then again, in the entire troubled world, Cao Cao is the only one who can play the world like a game like the Ma family. The Cao Group, which he had gathered, had a vicious vision that was unattainable. Always between the division and merger, driven by the greater interest, again and again, or with affection, or cold-faced and ruthless treatment of the alliance and dissolution, so that the interests of the Cao family can be maximized again and again.

On the occasion of the unification of the world, Cao Cao tore up the secret covenant between the Liu and Sun families, and it was not impossible to get a piece of the pie under the good situation. It's just that Ma Chao can't imagine how much sincerity Cao Cao will show and how much income he wants to share.

As a result, he immediately returned to his demeanor of looking at the world, and waved his hand slightly: "Let Cao Ang and Tang Mi come over." ”

When he was young, Cao Ang brought Tang Mi into the hall. When he saw Tang Xiaomi again, Ma Chao couldn't help but be a little surprised. Thinking back then, when he walked out of his Ma family, he felt like he was just a quirky female shadow. But now, standing in front of Ma Chao, she is already a famous girl who is no less beautiful than everyone.

This time, Tang Xiaomi's beautiful face is still not powdered, but the crystal white and tender skin has a faint flush, as if just after the bath, a black glow like a waterfall can be seen, the eyes are black and white, as bright as the brightest star in the night, she is wearing a wide and loose robe, from the point of view of the volume, she has a little more plump and woman's unique mature charm, but there is really an indescribable femininity.

Cao Ang still hasn't changed much, his handsome appearance is as tall as a pine. Today is the official court meeting, he is wearing the service of the prince of the Great Wei, the basalt-colored brocade robe, embroidered with a dragon, and it looks even more refreshing on happy occasions.

But what's interesting is that when Ma Chao suddenly looked at Cao Ang with a kind of eyes unique to a general, Cao Ang still felt the kind of ice and snow in Ma Chao's eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head slightly to avoid Ma Chao's gaze. Obviously, the setbacks of several missions have made Cao Ang quite jealous of Ma Chao.

"I couldn't congratulate the two of them on their wedding, and I didn't even know the news." Ma Chao chuckled, his expression becoming more and more casual. Cao Ang also relaxed slightly, but before he could fully adapt to Ma Chao's breath, he heard Ma Chao's tone suddenly cold again, and said abruptly: "Why don't you give the two of you as a wedding gift in the six counties of Jiangdong?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Cao Ang and Tang Xiaomi, but even the Ma family's civil and military forces couldn't help but be stunned.

Chapter 1347 Disguise

Listening to Ma Chao's seemingly absurd rhetoric, Cao Ang was startled at first, and then a faint wry smile appeared on his face. Turning his head and glancing at Tang Xiaomi, he saw a blank look in Tang Xiaomi's eyes, and then said slowly: "King Yong, before my father sent me here, I shirked it in every possible way, because you were too wise......"

After saying this, Cao Ang paused, then took out a letter from his arms, smiled awkwardly, and said directly to the point: "Yes, this time, my Cao family is asking for a third alliance with the Ma family." The condition is that the Cao clan can send troops to sweep Jiangdong for King Yong, and King Yong only needs to deal with Xichuan and Liaodong with all his might......"

"Cao Mengde, I'm really not a person who likes to surprise people." Ma Chao sighed, his expression began to become solemn, and he said seriously: "It's not a secret, this time the Ma family's army entered Xiangyang, on the one hand, they had to face Jiangdong Sun Ce, and on the other hand, they had to guard against Xichuan Liu Bei everywhere. At the same time, I have to stare at you Cao Clan, which is indeed a little powerless. And at this time, you proposed to form an alliance, which really choked the most sensitive nerve of the Ma family......"

Listening to Ma Chao's sincere answer, Cao Ang and Tang Xiaomi's laughter. Whether it is robbing while the fire is hot, or Cao Cao's unique vision, at least for now, the Ma family has no strong objection to this alliance, which makes Cao Ang's judgment of Cao Cao more awe and convincing.

"What kind of face and fame are just passing by, you can enter Xiangyang with peace of mind. Rest assured, although Ma Mengqi is the same age as you, he sees it much more clearly than you when it comes to political games. ”

Cao Ang remembered that before leaving, Cao Cao patted his shoulder and said to himself. And the facts have also proved that the first two alliances and rebellions did not leave too much shadow in Ma Chao's heart at all. It seems that the four words 're-righteousness and faithfulness', these two heroes think that they have nothing to do with politics.

"However,
