Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan sent three letters to Cao Cao in a row during Cao Cao's attack on Yecheng, the first one was to persuade Cao Cao not to be rash and to be calm; The second letter is to build yì Cao Cao to pacify the periphery of Yecheng; The third letter was to advise Cao Cao to avoid Yuan Shang and not to be too cruel, but unfortunately, Cao Cao, who "would rather be responsible for others", did not listen at all

+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Guo Jia secretly wrote a letter to Ma Xiaoquan, but because it took time for the letter to be delivered, it was impossible for the letter to be delivered to Ma Xiaoquan in time while Cao Cao launched the operation.

Yuan Shang was so cowardly that he was afraid that Cao Cao would besiege and kill him when he walked from the main road, so Yuan Shang "weighed it again and again" and decided to steal from the small road.

Yuan Shang's move was in Cao Cao's arms.

Cao Cao did not hesitate to lead all his subordinates and waited for Yuan Shang to come over and fight on the path.

Yuan Shang's idea was to take a clip from Xiaolu and Yecheng, but unfortunately, his little trick couldn't hide from the old and spicy Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's soldiers were divided into two sides and ordered, as long as there was movement, they would be killed immediately.

Not long after, sparks suddenly appeared not far away, and the soldiers of the Cao army shouted and rushed out.

Yuan Shang screamed in fright, looked back, and saw that the back road was blocked by Cao Jun, and Yuan Shang had no choice but to fight Cao Jun hard.

Although Cao Cao's troops were all elite soldiers, but in the attack on Yecheng for three months, the soldiers were already tired, although Yuan Shang's soldiers were not as good as Cao Cao, they were in a state of full HPMP, so the people on both sides were equal at the beginning.

Cao Cao saw that he thought about how to do this, so he changed his formation dozens of times in a row, and finally beat Yuan Shangjun down.

Yuan Shang couldn't defeat Cao Cao, and he couldn't run backwards, so he had to continue to fight Cao Cao first, and then wait for an opportunity to enter Yecheng.

In the city, the trial was ordered to put down the city gate, and went out of the city to attack Cao Cao with the lord Yuan Shang, and for a while, the flanking attack of the trial and Yuan Shang made the Cao army fall into a passive stalemate.

Cao Cao's generals were strong, and each led the troops to defeat Yuan Shang some, and as soon as Yuan Shang retreated, Cao Cao thought about taking the opportunity to attack Yecheng, and the trial saw through Cao Cao's thoughts, and immediately ordered the fire crossbowmen to shoot angrily and press Cao Jun back

"Damn~~~" Cao Cao kicked angrily and kicked a saber stuck in Yuan Jun's corpse away.

"Beat Lao Tzu, no matter what, beat Lao Tzu at any cost, Lao Tzu won't believe it, and he won't be able to catch Yuan Shang, a stinky boy?"

Cao Cao gave an order, and Cao's army attacked Yecheng with all his might.

Originally, during the siege, there was also an escape gate left for those who did not want to fight, did not want to fight, did not want to fight, fled, and surrendered.

The so-called siege of the city is the first to attack, and the city that left the escape gate, even if it is a strong city, there is a possibility that it will be breached.

However, if the escape door is sealed, then the defenders in the city will definitely fight to the death.

At this time, Cao Cao did not care about the cost, first ordered the escape door to be sealed, and then waited for the defenders in Yecheng with a rocket attack.

The defenders of Yecheng saw that Cao Cao had even sealed the escape door, and had to fight desperately.

It's a pity that Cao's army has a large number of people and advanced weapons, especially the thunderbolt car, which is very strong, although Yecheng is strong, it is impossible to withstand the bombardment of big stones forever.

Yuan Shang hid in the security shield defense array set up by the cavalry team, and was so frightened that he wanted to surrender, so he ordered someone to shoot out a surrender letter.

It's a pity that the surrender letter was not obtained by Cao Cao, but became an unknown discarded in the chaos.

Yuan Shang waited for a while, and found that Cao Cao not only did not stop attacking, but intensified, Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and decided to abandon Yecheng, break through and escape.

At this time, most of the Cao army was concentrated under Yecheng and interrogated to fight, so Yuan Shang did not have much effort to kill a way to escape.

Without thinking about it, Yuan Shang quickly led the remnants to flee to Qishan.

It's just that he didn't escape a few steps before his subordinates Ma Yan and others actually rebelled in battle, making Yuan Shang scold.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Yuan Shang has no choice but to continue to flee while scolding.

Cao Cao's purpose was in Yecheng and not in Yuan Shang, so after confiscating Yuan Shang's silk ribbon clothes, Cao Cao took it to Yecheng to show off his might, and the morale of the defenders of Yecheng plummeted.

The trial was very passive, and ordered the sergeant to withdraw to Yecheng to defend it

Xuchang, Ma's compound.

Ma Xiaoquan stood alone on the roof with his hands behind his back and looked at the starry sky.

The starry sky tonight is very beautiful, and the sky is full of stars dotted with the night sky, and it gives people a very quiet and comfortable feeling.

Although the environment is good, Ma Xiaoquan's heart is very anxious at this time.

Mrs. Hua Yuexin has been pregnant for a year, from July last year to July this year, a whole year.

According to common sense, the period of pregnancy is ten months, and the so-called October pregnancy is exactly like this, but Hua Yuexin has been pregnant for a whole year and has not moved.

"Could it be that Mrs. gave birth to a 'Nezha' for me?"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and slapped himself in the mouth: "What nonsense, Nezha is a mythical figure"

Under the roof, Miaoyu hugged Ma Yan and shouted at Ma Xiaoquan: "Xianggong, why are you on it?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, jumped down, pinched Xiao Ma Yan's face, and said, "It's okay, Miaoyu, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Miaoyu asked Ma Xiaoquan with wide eyes: "Xianggong, what is Nezha?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Oh, haven't you watched "Romance of the Gods"? ”

Miaoyu shook her head.

Ma Xiaoquan sighed, and then remembered that "Romance of the Gods" was from the Ming Dynasty, and it was still the end of the Han Dynasty, so of course Miaoyu hadn't seen it.

Ma Xiaoquan laughed and asked Miaoyu: "How is Madame?" ”

Miaoyu frowned and said, "Mrs. Yue'er is very good, if it weren't for Xianhuai, I wouldn't have seen that she was pregnant at all." ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's been a year, how can I have an ominous premonition?" ”

"Bah, bah~~" Miaoyu said, "Xianggong crow's mouth." ”

In Miaoyu's arms, Xiao Ma Yan saw that her mother said Dad, and she quickly answered: "Mother said that Daddy is a crow's mouth, Daddy is a crow's mouth, and Daddy is a crow's mouth."

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, ran to the door of Hua Yuexin's bedroom, and gently clicked on the door twice.

A woman's voice came from the house: "Come in~"

When I entered the house, I saw that Diao Chan and they were all there.

"I've seen Xianggong~"

Ma Xiaoquan snorted and sat down beside Hua Yuexin: "Madam, how is it, do you feel anything?" ”

Kazuki shook her head.

Ma Xiaoquan looked at Diao Chan, and Diao Chan said: "Xianggong, the cicada has been tested, and the lady and the fetus are normal." ”

"Normal? It's been a year, how can it be normal? ”

Diao Chan blushed and said: "That's true, if you don't believe in Xianggong, you can listen to it." ”

Ma Xiaoquan put his ear to Hua Yuexin's lower abdomen suspiciously, and listened carefully, there was really some movement.

"Hmm," Ma Xiaoquan exhaled with relief.

Hua Yuexin asked, "Xianggong, can you think of a name for the child?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan snorted and said, "Just call him Ma Zheng, be an upright person." ”

"Ma Zheng?" Diao Chan asked, "Xianggong, why does it sound like a boy's name?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "That's right, it's a boy." ”

As soon as Ma Xiaoquan spoke, several women who gave birth to daughters began to envy.

Xiu'er and Hua Lin pouted and said, "The husband is partial, Mrs. Yue'er and they all have boys, so we have girls."

Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Then let's have a few more another day, okay?" ”

When the second daughter heard this, she blushed, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Hua Yuexin said: "Xianggong, how do you know that it must be a boy?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and did not answer Hua Yuexin's question, but Ma Xiaoquan had already made up his mind in his heart: if the task of the late Han Dynasty is completed this time, everything is over, and he must go to the Ming Dynasty to have a look.

"Ma Zheng~~Hehe" Ma Xiaoquan remembered the family genealogy collected by his uncle, which clearly wrote the name of the second generation of the Ma family - Ma Zheng.

Is this qiē fate or coincidence?

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and in mid-August, Hua Yuexin finally showed signs of childbirth.

The wife is born and raised, which is different from other concubines, although there will not be too many class concepts in the Ma family compound, but the ancient people are like this, as long as they are the main wife, they are definitely the leaders of internal affairs.

Diao Chan has already prepared a lot of tonic medicines, as long as Mrs. Hua Yuexin gives birth, these tonic medicines will be served as soon as possible;

Xiu'er and Miaoyu embroidered a lot of children's clothes and pants for the children to wear;

Although Hua Lin and Ling'er became mothers, they still had some childishness in their behavior, so after thinking about it, the two little women decided to stay by Hua Yuexin's side and listen to her orders;

Ma Zhuzhu took more than a dozen pairs of shoes worn by children, some boys and some girls

Hua Lin asked Ma Zhuzhu with a smile: "Sister Zhuzhu, my sister gave birth to a boy, why did you take the girl's shoes?" ”

Ma Zhuzhu smiled and said, "Mrs. Yue'er hasn't given birth yet, how can you be sure that it must be a boy?" ”

Ling'er answered: "What Xianggong said, Xianggong also named the child, Ma Zheng." ”

"Huh?" Ma Zhuzhu looked at Hua Yuexin, and Hua Yuexin blushed and nodded gently.

"It seems that my fairy brother is really not simple," Ma Zhuzhu said, putting away the little shoes that the girl was wearing.

At night, Ma Xiaoquan had just gone to bed in a wide coat and was about to rest, when he heard a woman's shout suddenly sounded in the compound.

"Madame is going to give birth, Madame is going to give birth"

Ma Xiaoquan put on his pants in shock, rushed out of the door shirtless, and went straight to Hua Yuexin's bedroom.

When Ma Xiaoquan arrived at Hua Yuexin's bedroom, the door of the room was already full of maids.

Ma Xiaoquan just wanted to rush in, but Ma Zhuzhu stopped him: "Men are not allowed to go in." ”

Ma Xiaoquan wanted to say that in our modern society, it is okay for her husband to accompany her, but Ma Zhuzhu didn't wait for Ma Xiaoquan to speak, so she pointed to the basin in the corner, "Go and boil hot water." ”
