Chapter 444: One Ice and One Fire
Ma Dai and Ma Chao are the most outstanding children of the Ma family.
But the difference between the two is that Ma Chao is like fire, aggressive and unmatched, and Ma Dai is like ice, calm and thoughtful.
In fact, in Ma Teng's heart, Ma Dai is more in line with him than Ma Chao, but unfortunately Ma Dai is only Ma Teng's nephew, not Ma Teng's son, which is not enough to master the Ma family.
As they grew older, the differences between the two grew wider.
It's not that the relationship between these two people is not good, but these two people have different views on things, such as in the matter of Cao Cao and Pan Lu.
Ma Chao is more optimistic about Pan Lu, Ma Dai is more optimistic about Cao Cao, and it can't be said which of these two people is right and who is wrong, in the final analysis, it is just a matter of personal likes and dislikes.
"Big brother, now the Quartet is gathering in Yecheng, and if you don't get it right, you will be dumping each other, and it is not good for our Ma family to get close to any party at this time."
"Then why is my father so close to Cao Cao?"
"Uncle and Cao Cao are close because of the previous relationship, and besides, my uncle is not without reservations, and he has not expressed his position to any party until now!"
Compared with Ma Chao, who is a son, Ma Dai, who is a nephew, knows Ma Teng better, or he observes more carefully.
"Alright, I know how to do it." Ma Chao is not stupid, he just doesn't want to use his brains.
"That's good."
Ma Chao: "It won't be my father who asked you to come!" ”
"Of course not, if it was my uncle, he would talk to you personally, eldest brother, my uncle has high hopes for you, our brothers will rely on you in the future, you must not act recklessly!" Ma Dai never thought about competing with Ma Chao? Because Ma Teng has a great favor to him.
This is also related to the origin of the Ma family, although the Ma family is after the Fubo general Ma Yuan, but in fact, the Ma family has long been in the middle of the road.
Ma Teng is not because of that rebellion! He was just a lieutenant in the border army, and as for the rest of the Ma family, they were no different from ordinary people.
Ma Dai's father died early, if it weren't for Ma Teng, Ma Dai would also die, so Ma Dai would have been following Ma Chao and helping to make suggestions.
After being persuaded by Ma Dai, Ma Chao really stopped for a few days, but this person can't be idle, after all, he can't be idle.
The battlefield was in front of him, Ma Chao stayed in the camp, he was so anxious that he scratched his heart, and asked Ma Teng to fight every once in a while, "Father, just let me help you!" ”
"Can you help me? Don't. ”
"Father, don't you want to break through Yecheng?"
"Idiot! Do you know? Anyone can break through Yecheng, but your father can't, Pan Lu and Cao Cao are all watching from the side! ”
"Then why did my father come to Jizhou!"
There are some inside information, Ma Chao is inconvenient to say when he is in Xiliang, and it doesn't hurt to say it now, "You should know Zhu Yuanzhang!" Han Sui has already joined him, if our Ma family doesn't leave, there will be a catastrophe. ”
"Zhu Yuanzhang? is the prince who has risen in recent years, why did he choose Han Sui, is my Ma family not as good as that Han Sui? ”
"Actually, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to find me in advance, but I refused."
"Father, don't think about him?"
"Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed a hero, he has taken Yizhou and Yongzhou all these years, and then Jingzhou, but Xiliang is too far away from the south, he is not worthy of our refuge, Han Sui took refuge in him, just to deal with my Ma family, but I don't want to fight with Han Sui anymore.
Han Sui is an ambitious person, but it's a pity that he is too old, his ambition will only be shattered in the end, and his father has no ambition at all, what he has to do now is to choose a backer for the Ma family, so he will come to Jizhou and observe it closely. ”
Pan Lu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao are actually among Ma Teng's choices.
In Ma Teng's view, the people who finally got the world were among these three people, and the other princes either had too poor a background or too poor a pattern.
Zhu Yuanzhang lost on the bottom, he rose too fast, and how many people were truly loyal to him? It's just that he's forced to be powerful.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang is frustrated, his power will collapse in an instant, Ma Teng has lived for so many years, and he can see through this at a glance.
Ma Chao knew what Ma Teng was thinking? Therefore, Ma Chao also began to observe these three forces, and the army under Cao Cao's command was layered on top of each other, and he knew that he was skilled in training at a glance.
The army under the command of Pan Lu fought bravely to be the first to be orderly in the chaos, and that kind of offensive power is rare in the world, and even the Ma family army sighed to himself.
And the army under Yuan Shao's command has a little bit of stability as Mount Tai, these three armies have their own characteristics, and it is really difficult to distinguish them for a while!
"Pound, who do you say is more powerful in these three armies?"
"I don't know."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, you can just say it, if it's wrong, I won't blame you."
"In the eyes of the last general, the strength of Pan Lu's army is heavy on the generals, and the strength of Cao Cao's army is on the soldiers, and the strength of Yuan Shao's army lies in the number of people, and the number can be made up, but the generals and the soldiers are higher or lower, and the last general will not dare to talk about it."
Soldiers or generals, which is more important, let alone Pang De, even Sun Wu is alive, he may not be able to say clearly.
The generals left the soldiers and could not support them alone, and the soldiers left the generals but the dragons were leaderless, if you really want to talk about it, these two are actually very important.
"I don't care, my father can follow whoever he wants." This is Ma Chao, he has no patience.
Pound was stunned for a moment in the back, what are you doing here? Can you make it clear?
No matter what the Ma family father and son thought, Pan Lu and Cao Cao had the intention of comparing, and they both wanted to break through Yecheng first, so the soldiers on both sides were very desperate.
The siege equipment on Pan Lu's side, it is really lined up, Pan Lu is taking advantage of Qingzhou's proximity to Jizhou, and whatever siege equipment you want, you can completely transfer it from the rear.
A few days ago, Pan Lu was silent, in fact, he was waiting for the arrival of these siege equipment, and if he wanted to succeed, he must first sharpen his weapons.
The battle of attacking the fortified was originally a large number of casualties, of course, Pan Lu wanted to minimize this kind of casualties, and Pan Lu also asked people to use local materials and get a lot of box door cars.
If Cao Cao's siege relied on the cooperation of soldiers, then Pan Lu's siege relied on strange skills, what kind of siege equipment, Pan Lu has it here.
There are only those you haven't seen, and there is nothing that Pan Lu doesn't have, which has opened the eyes of Cao Cao, Ma Teng and others, and there are such sieges.
Some of Cao Cao's spies have already come, and Pan Lu's people have arrested a few, and these people don't recognize them alive or dead, they came here to draw drawings.
Cao Cao's strength in learning! It's really impressive! It doesn't matter the occasion, and then Pan Lu didn't stop it, anyway, the siege equipment is there, and you can't stop it if you want to!
