Chapter 317: Careful Calculation
"Hahahaha, this Liu Xuande is worthy of being my Han clan relative, and he really has some skills!" Liu Dai was overjoyed, but he no longer scolded Liu Bei for being a play, and he also recognized his relatives. It's no wonder that since Ma Zongheng returned to Changyuan, nothing has happened to him, and now it's not easy to have a good news, so he is naturally overjoyed.
"Having said that, but now is not the time to fight to the death with the little child of the Ma family, the lord should take advantage of the situation to lead his troops back to help, and join forces with Liu Xuande to annihilate Bao Xin's anti-army as soon as possible. Immediately, according to the original plan, unite with Yuan Shao, and unite to annihilate the children of the Ma family! It's the perfect solution! Wang Yu said in a condensed voice. When Liu Dai heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"The prince is too afraid of this Ma family! Dongjun is rich, and there are many old Qiao family departments in Gengcheng County at present, but if the Ma family child gets the entire Dong County, with his relationship with the Qiao family, he will be able to quickly stabilize Dong County, and then take the opportunity to incorporate the old Qiao family, and his power will definitely increase a lot. Isn't this raising a tiger for trouble!? Mao Hui shouted loudly, saying that Liu Dai's face changed continuously, and his heart was even more afraid.
Wang Yu's face sank, and when he was about to speak, Liu Dai suddenly shouted: "What Yuande said is reasonable, but what you are planning is not reasonable. I think Puyang is strong, it is better to guard it first, and then use the bridge family as a hostage, so as to delay time, I will take the opportunity to lead the elite department to come back to help, and strive to eradicate Bao Xin as soon as possible, and then I don't have to be afraid of the Ma family! ”
When Mao Hui heard this, his expression was shocked, and he shouted: "The lord is high-minded, and the last general will be so impressed that he will throw himself to the ground!" ”
"No! This Ma family is not an ordinary person, once he is angered, the consequences are unimaginable!! ”
"Enough!! Wang Bucai, you talk about it, it's all about how powerful this Ma family child is, I think you are scared by him, Puyang is solid, and there are generals under my command to guard it, and there are hostages in hand, so what can Ma family children do to me!? Liu Dai suddenly shouted angrily, and slapped the case, which frightened Wang Yu, seeing that he was really angry, although he was helpless in his heart, he didn't dare to admonish him anymore.
In fact, Wang Yu knew very well why Liu Dai was in such a hurry to leave, it was true that it was not Wang Yu who was most afraid of Ma Zongheng, but Liu Dai himself.
But it is said that Ma Zongheng is powerful, Liu Dai had seen it with his own eyes when he was in the Northern Alliance. Since then, Wang Yu has found that Liu Dai is jealous and afraid of him, if it is not for Yuan Shao to send someone to instigate him, but also explain the stakes, Liu Dai is really difficult to make up his mind, and take action against Qiao and Ma.
But now Yuan Shao capsized in the ditch in Hedong, Ma Zongheng was eyeing him, Wang Yu could imagine how much Liu Dai was afraid that Ma Zongheng would send troops to attack, but he was reluctant to Dongjun, so he came up with this strategy that could not only keep Dongjun, but also take the opportunity to avoid Ma Zongheng.
As soon as Wang Yu's mind turned, sure enough, Liu Dai urgently ordered him to prepare for the baggage, order the essence, and set off tonight. Wang Yu saw that Liu Dai had made up his mind, and after secretly sighing in his heart, he was ordered to retreat.
Mao Hui saw Wang Yu leaving, his eyes suddenly flashed a little lustful light, and he suddenly knelt down and shouted: "There will be something to ask for, but if the lord agrees, the last general will repay him with death!" ”
"Oh, now that I need to rely on Yuande, whatever you want, just ask." Don't look at Liu Dai saying this, but his eyes are obviously a little cold, and he seems to dislike Mao Hui very much in the current situation, putting conditions on himself.
Mao Hui also seemed to notice Liu Dai's displeasure, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask the lord to forgive the little presumptuous, the little one is also helpless, a few days ago, since the little one saw the second lady of the bridge family, he has never forgotten her, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, this... So..."
"Hmph, you rough man is still emotional! I heard that the second lady of the bridge family is a little more beautiful than her sister, and you are quite good at picking people! Liu Dai snorted coldly, Mao Hui only thought that Liu Dai had already taken a fancy to him, but he was startled.
In fact, as Mao Hui thought, Liu Dai has long coveted the Qiao sisters, and now he has sent Qiao Wan away, and he regards Qiao Ying as a thing in his bag, if it weren't for the undecided situation now, Liu Dai would have done it a long time ago, how can he talk about Mao Hui's rough involvement!
"But this rough man is still of some use right now, it's better to agree first, and when Yanzhou is stable in the future, what if I rob it again!?" Liu Dai's eyes flashed, what he hated most in his life was that others would rob women with him, and he could even do whatever it took to do so!
At the same time, Mao Hui, who was bowing his head in a panicked manner, also had bursts of gloomy light in his eyes, and said in his heart: "This dead old ghost is a handful of years old, and he still wants to bully such a beautiful woman, if you want Lao Tzu to work hard for you, you must also be able to be a man!" ”
After a somewhat strange silence, suddenly Liu Dai finally opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It's just a woman, Yuan De is my general, as long as you can keep Puyang, it will not be a problem to reward you with the second lady of the Qiao family." However, just in case, before this danger in Yanzhou is not lifted, you have to endure for a while, and after the situation stabilizes, I will not only reward this woman to you, but also personally handle this marriage for you, how about it? ”
As soon as Liu Dai said this, Mao Hui was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Liu Dai secretly sneered in his heart, and after Mao Hui left, he called the current Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu and instructed Wang Qiu to secretly monitor Mao Hui, and never allowed him to offend the second miss of the Qiao family, and at the same time did not forget to give instructions for some details. Wang Qiu remembered them one by one, and then withdrew.
Unconsciously, it was the first shift of the night, Liu Dai had already packed his bags, and Wang Yu led more than thousands of elite troops to rush back to Yangchangyi.
On the other side, it was said that in the mountains and forests dozens of miles away from the direction of Wangshan Yangchangyi outside Puyang City, there was a light horse that had been waiting for a long time. As the first general, wearing Huanglin Sun and Moon armor, holding a dragon blade, who is it if it is not Ma Zongheng!?
"Lord, will Liu Dai really hope that Changyi will flee back?" Wei Fei thought for a while, but still couldn't help but ask. When Pang De, who was on the side, heard this, he immediately glared at the lion's eyes, slapped Wei Fei on the back of the head, and shouted, "You dare to doubt the lord!?" ”
Wei Fei was in pain, but he didn't dare to make a sound, he glanced at Pang De aggrievedly, and saw that he had a fierce and terrible face, and he was busy withdrawing his eyes. At this time, Ma Zongheng's eyes shot out two fine lights, and said with a faint smile: "Actually, this calculation is very simple, let me ask you, why does Liu Dai regard Qiao Gong and me as a thorn in his side?" ”
"Isn't that because he's afraid that the lord and the bridge will join forces to seize Yanzhou?"
"No, Qiao Gong is old, and Liu Dai is not afraid of him. Liu Dai was afraid that I was the only one, so he did not hesitate to kill his subordinates, first seize Puyang, and then teach Xu Xi to lead his troops to attack Changyuan, intending to destroy our forces in Yanzhou with lightning speed! But right now, not only did he not succeed, but he broke Xu Xi, a general, and I had a tough attitude, he was afraid that I would take revenge, if it was you, what would you do? ”
Seeing Ma Zongheng's eyes glowing with a terrifying glow, Wei Fei thought that if his lord wanted to seek revenge on him, he didn't say a word, he immediately fled, and subconsciously shouted: "Run!" ”
"That's right!" The corners of Ma Zongheng's mouth curled up, and his smile brightened, but Wei Fei couldn't help but be afraid for a while when he thought of the fierce light in his eyes just now.
"But as the lord said, why didn't he run away?" At this time, Pound condensed and asked angrily.
"Greedy, Liu Dai saw that Dongjun was rich, and he didn't want to give up. What's more, haven't I been standing still in Changyuan, how can he be willing before the matter is a foregone conclusion? ”
"Why did the lord give him three days, he directly captured that Wang Yu and sent troops to attack Puyang!"
When Pound heard this, his heart was anxious, and he said. Ma Zonghengli glared at him and said, "The Qiao family is kind to me, I really ignore it!?" ”
When Pang De heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and thought that Ma Zongheng had been proud of his face since yesterday, and he thought that he was making rapid progress with the eldest lady of the bridge family.
Ma Zongheng is famous for his love for his women.
Pang De hurriedly patted his head, pretended to be stupid and smiled: "Haha, don't be angry, lord, look at my stupid head, I can't think of it for a while." ”
"But as the lord said, Liu Dai is unwilling to give up Dongjun, and the lord's army has not been pressed, so why should he rush to escape?" Wei Fei thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.
Ma Zongheng listened, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "You are asking the point." Because Liu Dai has found a way to keep Dongjun and avoid me. Just before I met that Wang Yu yesterday, I happened to learn that Liu Bei had sent troops from the plains. Although Liu Bei was scolded by the princes for being a play, he was by no means a thing in the pool, and his two righteous brothers were even more heroes in the world. So I dare to conclude that Bao Xin is definitely not Liu Bei's opponent. Once the news reaches Puyang, Liu Daijun's morale will be greatly boosted and the morale of the army will be stabilized. In this case, with Liu Dai's nearly 10,000 troops in Puyang, and the fortification of Puyang, it would not be a problem if he held our army for a month.
Therefore, as long as Liu Dai sends a general now, he can rest assured that Dongjun will not be lost. And didn't he just take the opportunity to flee back to Yanzhou to avoid me sending troops to attack three days later? And Liu Dai thought again, if Dongjun is really not guaranteed, I will spend at least a month and a half. At that time, he had already joined forces with Liu Bei to defeat Bao Xin, and then he would unite with Yuan Shao, so that he could come back and annihilate our army! ”
It is said that if Ma Zongheng can really succeed in the ambush this time, the most important thing is probably that he won on the side of the scout's Su zhì, and the people of Feiyu are all good at assassination and investigation, so Ma Zongheng can learn the news of Liu Bei's troops earlier, and then he relied on the understanding of Liu Bei in later generations to analyze it, and finally set up an ambush here. Of course, whether Liu Dai will escape back tonight, Ma Zongheng is not completely sure, but the war of the soldiers is like this, since it is a surprise attack and ambush, who can guarantee that he can hit with one blow every time?
"What a treacherous old fox! As the lord said, if Liu Dai really escaped back to Changyi tonight, he would definitely get good news from Liu Bei's side. It's just that this Liu Bei seems to look down on him all over the world, why does the lord only value him so much! "Pang De is so puzzled precisely because he knows that Ma Zongheng is extremely accurate in seeing people, because according to his understanding of Liu Bei, he also feels that this person is unrealistic, and his intention to ascend to the sky in one step, and his act of killing Lu Bu is even more shameful!
"Red Devil, if you have prejudices against a person, how can you really see him clearly?" Ma Zongheng said lightly, in fact, when he was in the sour jujube camp, Ma Zongheng had also been driven by curiosity to meet Liu Bei. He still remembered that the red-faced Guan Yu and the black-faced Zhang Fei were both vigilant at that time, while Liu Bei seemed a little flattered. After Ma Zongheng talked to him all night, he didn't find anything unusual. Later, Ma Zongheng heard that his behavior disliked Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei seemed to be scolded for this, and then deliberately avoided it. And Ma Zongheng also had a lot of tasks at that time, and soon after, Tian Feng implemented a strategy of dividing the troops, and Liu Bei left the sour jujube camp first with Gongsun Zhan and the princes who killed them to the Tiger Prison Pass.
