As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, all the civil and military affairs, you look at me, I look at you, and there seems to be nothing to be done. Xiahoudun couldn't help but say angrily: "If Shu can't send troops to entangle the Xiliang Ma clan, even if I and other princes from all over the Central Plains unite together, I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate on dealing with that ghost god Ma Xi." By its Luoyang is even more behind its neck!! ”

At this moment, Jia Xu suddenly smiled. This smile suddenly enlivened the entire somewhat dead lobby.

"The deputy military division must have a plan!!" Cao Ren's eyes lit up in an instant, and he asked quickly.

Jia Xu's color sank, and at this time, Cao Cao's bright eyes happened to be cast on him. Jia Xu didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly got up, and said: "This fact is not difficult, there is indeed a plan, or it will make Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang hate the same enemy and unite to deal with the Xiliang Ma clan!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately shot a flash of light, slapped the case, and shouted: "Wenhe has a plan, don't come quickly!" ”

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth curled, and his whole body exuded a rather dark aura of wisdom, and he responded in a condensed voice: "I have heard that the three heroes of the Ma family, his father Ma Teng, has always been righteous and brave, and he is loved by the people of Xiliang. Moreover, his eldest son Ma Xi is even more remarkable, not only has the name of ghosts and gods, but now sits on Yan and Hebei Prefectures, and his fierce generals are like clouds, and they are powerful in Hebei. ”

Jia Xu was not finished yet, and Xiahoudun listened to him only praising the Ma family, and couldn't help but snort: "Deputy military division, aren't you growing up others to destroy your own prestige!?" ”

Who knew that Xiahou Yuan had just interrupted Jia Xu, Xun Yu had a seizure first, his face was solemn, and his eyes were sharp, so he shouted: "Xiahou Yuanrang, this deputy military advisor is not finished yet, don't interject!" ”

"You!!" When Xiahoudun, who had always been hot, heard this, he suddenly wanted to attack, but at this time, Cao Ren quickly stretched out his arm and held down Xiahoudun from behind. Xiahoudun looked at him with a pair of eyes, gritted his teeth and held back first.

In this regard, Jia Xu smiled at Xun Yu to show his gratitude, and then said: "And Ma Teng's second son, Ma Chao, has been good since he was a child, and it is said that he has the courage of King Yingbu of Jiujiang, and because of his handsomeness, he has the name of Jin Ma Chao. said that Ma Chao's talent is not inferior to his father and brother, but now he is still famous. I have also heard that this son has always been ambitious, and he often follows the example of his brother Ma Xi, and does not want to be under the shadow of his father, and wants to create a great career to rival his brother. In fact, why didn't the lord give advice to His Majesty, saying that Zhang Lu cut off the Xiyang Road back then, and even killed the envoy of the imperial court. But I can order Na Ma Chao to lead troops to fight in order to raise the prestige of my Han family. When Ma Chao heard this, he would take advantage of this rare opportunity to send troops to attack. The so-called lips and teeth are cold, Zhang Lu broke the slanting yang road back then, but it was Liu Yan's instructions. But if Hanzhong is broken, Liu Zhang will also benefit from the state, and he will naturally join forces with Zhang Lu. ”

"But if this Ma Chao gets Yizhou, the Ma clan's power will be even bigger, and then I'm afraid that even if my Cao clan unites the princes of the world, I'm afraid it won't be its enemy! What's more, the military advisor didn't say it early, our army would not be able to raise troops within two years, even if Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang joined forces, we would not be able to take the opportunity to raise things, so what? Cao Renhu narrowed his eyes and asked sharply. When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled and said unhurriedly: "Doesn't General Cao hear that it is difficult for Shu Dao to go to the blue sky." That Ma Chao is just a child, young and vigorous, and not as good as Zhang Lu, even if he breaks through Hanzhong, if he wants to kill Shudi, it is difficult to use Shudi, unless he has a map first, otherwise within two years, it is impossible to break through Yizhou!! At that time, once Ma Chaojiu's food was exhausted, Zhang and Liu naturally refused to let go. The lord announced to the world in Luoyang again, saying that the Ma clan supported the army and respected itself, wantonly raised troops to invade various places, and had great ambitions, and had already had the heart to establish a king, and then listed each crime one by one. At that time, Zhang and Liu will inevitably take advantage of the situation to echo and rise up to fight back! As soon as Jia Xu said this, everyone instantly woke up. Xun Yu sighed even more, and said sincerely: "In terms of the essence of strategy, Wen He is more than a hundred times better than me, but it can make me ashamed of my military advisor!" ”

After that, Xun Yu's eyes turned to Cao Cao, and he was about to get up and speak. At this time, Jia Xu suddenly shouted in fear: "The military advisor Wan Mo speaks like this, he is a little learned, compared with the military advisor, it is simply the same as the heavens and the earth, and the spark of the stars is compared to the light of the bright moon." Moreover, in terms of this prestige, how could Jia be more worthy of this position than a military advisor known as benevolence and righteousness? ”

As soon as Jia Xu's voice fell, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile secretly, scolded the thief, and then cast a look at Xun Yu. Xun Yu understood, knowing that Jia Xu had no intention of taking it, and he was not reluctant, so he sighed lightly.

At this time, Liu Ye shouted: "Although the strategy of the military division is wonderful, if you think that your majesty is being held hostage by the lord today, and our army only invaded Yanzhou not long ago." Ma Chao is young and vigorous, eager to make meritorious service or can't see it, but I'm afraid he can't hide the cunning Ma Teng! ”

"Hehe, I also think about it. I'm afraid it takes two people to make it happen? Jia Xu smiled slightly and replied.

"Which two?" Cao Cao listened attentively, and subconsciously asked questions. Jia Xu smiled and replied: "One is Lord Liu who is the queen of Fuling, Liu Yan, and the other is Zhong Xuan and Zhong Yuanchang, who were in trouble in Yongzhou. ”

"Oh, that's kind of interesting." Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and then laughed. These two smart people looked at each other, and the others didn't need to say much, so they understood each other's minds.

Xiahou stared anxiously, looked at Cao Cao and then at Jia Xu, but couldn't see what was going on, and secretly cast a look at Cao Ren. At this time, Cao Ren's expression froze, and he said: "The deputy military advisor proposed these two people, one is after the Han family, and the other has saved His Majesty in Yongzhou. Could it be that the next thing is related to His Majesty? ”

As soon as Cao Ren's words came out, many people in the hall changed color in an instant, after all, they were talking about the Son of Heaven at the feet of the Son of Heaven, once it was known, this was a great crime of rebellion. Moreover, there are still many people here who are still loyal to the Han family, including Xun Yu!

Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu silently, but said the next words for Jia Xu: "That's right! Wen He's meaning is to want these two people to go to His Majesty to instigate, so that His Majesty can secretly contact Ma Teng, who has always had the ambition to recover the waves. In this way, if the imperial court gives an order, Ma Teng thinks that it is the emperor's grace, which will naturally not only not object, but will vigorously support Ma Chao to lead troops to attack Xishu! ”

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, it could be said that the hall was full of shock, and many people even exclaimed. Xun Yu hurriedly knelt down: "Lord, if this move is known by His Majesty, I am afraid that it will cause His Majesty to be separated from the Lord, please think twice!" It's better to let your subordinates explain a thing or two to Your Majesty first, and then do your best! ”

"Nope! His Majesty is still young, if he had explained to him earlier, he would not have been able to hide from Ma Teng's old thief. This matter is very important, if Wen Ruo relies on your wisdom, I am afraid that he also knows how important it is to my Cao clan and even the entire Han Dynasty to annihilate the Ma clan! But seeing Cao Cao's eyes flickering, like two hollows, Xun Yu had to bow his head under Cao Cao's extremely strong gaze, because he knew that once Cao Cao decided, it would not change, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu came!

Xun Yu secretly observed, in order to help his uncle Xun Yu, who was six years younger than himself, he admonished: "What the lord said is reasonable. However, during this period, the Ma clan's power will inevitably grow again, but it can be tried to secretly recruit this Zhang Jun with the order of the imperial court. Besides, I don't know how the lord is going to deal with that Sun Bofu? ”

As soon as Xun Yu said this, he couldn't help but quickly attract Cao Cao's attention. Cao Cao's face sank, and after muttering for a while, he said one word: "Wait!!" ”

What the hell is Cao Cao waiting for? Quan didn't know, but said that Sun Ce got Cao Cao's response, led a cadre of the Sun family, and finally crossed the river and returned to Jiangdong half a year ago. In the past six months, Sun Ce used the name of begging thieves to rapidly expand his power, and because the Sun family was quite famous in Jiangdong, many Jiangdong clans saw that Sun Ce had the style of the overlord of Western Chu, and secretly intended to help, secretly giving money, food, and manpower to help. As a result, Sun Ce's power was able to develop rapidly, and he successively obtained Danyang, Shixin and other places, and broke the rebellion in Shanyue. Among them, Zu Lang, a thief in Danyang, gathered the people of Shanyue several times, only saying that Sun Ce was cruel and unkind, and united to confront Sun Ce. At that time, Zulang had a large number of thieves, and Sun Ce fought with them several times, but failed to break them. Later, Sun Ce was assisted by his uncle Wu Jing, and then Zhou Yu's clever plan, first bluffing, pretending to retreat, luring Zu Lang to lead his troops into a big advance, and finally broke through with an ambush. Zulang was able to escape under the desperate protection of his subordinate leaders. After Sun Ce's victory, he pursued the victory. However, it was said that Zu Lang fled back to Jing County at that time, and Sun Ce led his troops to kill the city. Zu Lang saw that Sun Ce killed the enemy and left no room for it, and he was born as a bandit, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to die well if he fell under him, so he led a cadre to resist desperately.

The city of Jingxian was strong, and there was the danger of Jingshui, the two armies attacked and defended very fiercely, and under the continuous days, both armies suffered heavy casualties. The Sun family's army, which was used as the attacker, died many soldiers. At the same time, at that time, the rear army was not replenished, and the food was almost exhausted. If Jing County is not broken within 10 days, Cao's army will probably run out of ammunition and food, and will have to give up the good situation and retreat. And Na Zulang also saw the embarrassment of Sun Jiajun, and let Sun Ce fight and abuse, but he couldn't defend it. Just when Sun Ce had nothing to do, it was Zhou Yu who had a clever plan at this time. However, it was said that Zhou Yu tied his hands that day and only led dozens of soldiers to the city to ask for a meeting. When Zu Lang heard that Sun Ce's brother-in-law Zhou Yu came to see him, he was first startled, and then he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that he had tied his hands and only brought dozens of soldiers. However, Zhou Yu has always been too careful, but Zu Lang did not dare to be careless, so he came to the city to see him. Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yu tied his hands, there were only dozens of soldiers on the left and right.

Seeing this, Zu Lang also had the courage to ask Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu explained that he was sincerely recruiting on behalf of the Sun family, and he looked forward to seeing him in the city. When Zu Lang heard this, he was secretly angry, but he admired Zhou Yu's courage, and someone next to him persuaded him to capture Zhou Yu and let Sun Ce throw a mouse trap and withdraw the army as soon as possible. Zu Lang promised and ordered someone to open the city gate, but Zhou Yu was not afraid, and entered the city with dozens of soldiers with him. As soon as Zhou Yu stepped into the city, he listened to Zu Lang's order, and his subordinates saw that Zhou Yu and the dozens of soldiers of the Sun family were all captured. The strange thing is that from beginning to end, Zhou Yu has not changed color at all, and it seems that he has expected it, and he does not resist. Zu Lang was suspicious, but at the same time more respectful, so he invited Zhou Yu to the enemy tower and personally untied him. When Zhou Yu saw this, he smiled faintly, and then said that Zu Lang had a sincere heart, but he was afraid that his righteous brother would think that he was a thief and would not treat him well. Zu Lang was told the central matter by Zhou Yu, but he refused to admit it, after all, Sun Jiajun was at a disadvantage at that time. Zhou Yu saw that Zu Lang refused to admit it, but he was not in a hurry, but said that his Sun Jiajun would be able to break through Jing County within ten days. Zulang laughed in disbelief. Zhou Yu made a bet with him, if within ten days, Sun Jiajun should be able to break through Jing County, his grandfather will come to surrender sincerely, and he cannot regret it. When Zu Lang saw Zhou Yu's sworn appearance, he was even more suspicious, but now he didn't want to be underestimated by Zhou Yu, so he agreed and let Zhou Yu leave.
