"This Cao Zixiao is not only familiar with the use of various military departments, but also perceives the subtlety of the situation, and the soldiers and horses under his command are even more prohibited, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, which can really be described as the elite of the elite, and at a glance you know that there is a way to govern the army. Cao Zixiao's use of soldiers can be described as a miracle! I might as well too!! Seeing the withdrawal of Cao's army, Ma Teng, who was quite wolf-like, couldn't help but sigh and praise, although he was defeated, he had to admire Cao Ren's skills.

After a while, Zhong Xuan led a group of soldiers from the Ma family to arrive, and hurriedly shouted: "Is there a big problem with the general?" ”

When Ma Teng heard this, his expression was slightly restrained, and he said with a smile: "Yuan Chang doesn't have to worry too much, I'm fine, I have to thank Yuan Chang, if you didn't detect the crisis in time and go back to the camp to bring troops to rescue, this time our army may inevitably have a big defeat." ”

As soon as Ma Teng's words came out, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie secretly showed their dissatisfaction, and seemed to be unconvinced. However, the two soon remembered it in their hearts, but they gradually agreed with Ma Teng's statement. At this time, Ma Teng's face turned blank, and he suddenly shouted to Ma Tie: "Rebel, you are so rude to Yuan Chang, but Yuan Chang ignored his previous suspicions and led reinforcements to save him in time, otherwise whether your life can be saved is still a question, why don't you thank Yuan Chang soon?" ”

When Ma Tie heard this, his complexion changed at first, but under Ma Teng's angry gaze, he didn't dare to be slacking off anymore, so he turned to Zhong Xuan and said: "The child is reckless, he doesn't know etiquette, if he is offended, don't blame Lord Zhong!" ”

"Hehe, Tie Gongzi is fierce and brave, and in time, he will be able to become a fierce general who is not inferior to Xi and Chao!" Zhong Xuan smiled faintly, but he didn't forget to please Ma Tie. Sure enough, when Ma Tie heard this, he couldn't help but turn red, scratched the back of his head and said: "The two elder brothers are like gods descending from heaven, and there are many heroes in the whole world, but I am afraid that no one is the opponent of the two elder brothers." I'm a child, how dare I compare with my two older brothers. ”

"Humph! Is that! Brother Chao has only punished Yan and Li in recent years, and now he also led a large army into Xichuan, I am afraid that he will soon break through Hanzhong, kill Zhang Lu, and then try to Yizhou Tianfu to become a hero. And Big Brother! Ma Xiu was about to talk about Ma Xi, when Ma Teng's face changed suddenly, and he immediately glared: "That person is not my Ma family's son, Hugh Ti is the rebel!" ”

Ma Xiu was startled by Ma Teng's sudden drink, and quickly closed his mouth. Ma Tie, who has always been better with Ma Xi, couldn't help but feel anxious, and said hurriedly: "Dad, you!" ”

"Don't shut up yet!! Don't you want me to kick you out of the house and cut off the relationship!? Ma Tengyuan glared angrily and hissed. Ma Tie rarely saw Ma Teng so angry, he couldn't help but feel in his heart, and he didn't dare to offend again. Ma Teng snorted coldly, then turned his horse back, and ordered the generals to rectify the departments and return to the camp.

However, he said that Ma Teng learned about the statistics of the army that night, and heard that in today's battle, the army had lost nearly 1,000 troops and many good horses, although he was resentful, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Cao Zi is filial and strong, but he is also good at attacking methods, and now our army is in a dilemma, should this be so?" Ma Teng's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask Zhong Xuan.

When Zhong Xuan heard this, his face sank, and he replied: "Tongguan is solid and stable like a rock, and that Cao Zixiao is good at using soldiers, and it is difficult to be tough and broken." And in today's battle, Cao Zixiao attacked and won, and he must have underestimated him. I think the general can show weakness in order to lure Cao Zixiao to attack, and then arrange it like this, he will definitely win! ”

When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes burst into light, and he said in shock: "Yuan Chang really came to my think tank!" ”

And so, the night passed. However, it was said that since the defeat of the Ma Jiajun yesterday, the morale seems to have suffered a considerable blow. After the scouts of the Cao army were completed, they returned to Tongguan to report, and the soldiers of the Cao army heard that the morale of the Ma family army was low, and they all looked forward to making meritorious contributions. However, Cao Ren was calm and disagreed, but instead taught the soldiers not to come out lightly, and waited for the opportunity to observe the situation first.

A few days later, it was said that nearly tens of thousands of troops had been gathered in the Tiger Prison Pass, of which more than 20,000 were the elite of the Cao army, and the leader was Cao Cao, the lord of the Cao army!

"Oh? Zixiao has won a victory now? At this time, Cao Cao had just received a battle report from Tongguan, and when he learned the general situation of Tongguan, he couldn't help but be shocked. And after the generals heard about Cao Ren's victory, they still kept it and watched the movements, each changing color. Cao Hong was suspicious at first: "Zixiao uses soldiers, and we are not as good as waiting." Now that the Ma family army is in a slump, its morale is flourishing, why not attack it in one fell swoop? ”

Cao Cao listened, but laughed a few times. Everyone was skeptical. Cao Hong hurriedly asked again: "Why is the lord laughing?" ”

"Zilian, don't worry, and listen to me." Cao Cao said, slightly condensed, and immediately told everyone: "Xiliang Xiaorui under the command of Ma Manzi has always been strong, only one defeat, no vitality is seriously injured, and it becomes weak, so there is naturally fraud in this." Presumably, this is a plan for the Yuan Chang. And this can't be hidden from Zixiao, and when Zixiao finds out, he will make other arrangements. ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, most people were puzzled. Cao Hong frowned and asked, "As the lord said, could it be that Yuan Chang is the opposite?" ”

"Hey, Yuan Chang did not hesitate to sacrifice his family in order to help my great cause, how could he be against me if he was so loyal?"

"If this is the case, why does Yuan Chang come out to help the thief again?"

"Haha, you're right." Cao Cao smiled mysteriously, and after a pause, those small eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light, and he groaned and said: "The Ma family's army is large, and the Ma barbarians and their subordinates are fierce, if you want to fight with them, even if Zixiao uses soldiers, it is inevitable that there will be a large number of casualties." Yuan Changzheng knew this, so he helped each other, which was to help the horse thief, but secretly he knew that he couldn't hide Zixiao, and secretly looked for opportunities for Zixiao. Presumably, in a few days, Zixiao will inevitably find a flaw, and will plan it, and break the thief army!! ”

Cao Cao strategized and said it very magically, and everyone was suspicious when they heard it. At this time, someone suddenly rushed in, it was Jia Xu who had returned from the detective.

When Cao Cao saw Jia Xu, he couldn't help but be shocked, and asked, "Has Wen He noticed?" ”

Jia Xu was obedient, first bowed respectfully, and then his expression sank, and he said in shock: "The thief army led by Ma Xi has now set up a camp on the slope of the Changfeng River a hundred miles away from the border of Ji County. This place occupies the advantage of the terrain, not only the Changfeng River can be used as a barrier and a buffer zone, and according to the high slope camp, but if our army crosses the Changfeng River, you can lead the troops to kill from the high slope, even if our army will be chaotic, have fallen into the Changfeng River. ”

As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, all the civil and military forces changed. Cao Cao's face changed, with a little remorse, and he said: "Such a treasure land, first occupied by horse thieves, I knew it was so, I should have listened to what Wen He said, and sent troops vigorously to cross this Changfeng River first!" ”

At this time, one of the strategists frowned and said, "If this is the case, our army might as well bypass it from both sides and avoid this Changfeng River." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao fixed his eyes, but saw that the person was dignified, his face was like a crown of jade, and he was quite handsome, and he was Yang Xiu, the son of the former captain Yang Biao. However, it was said that Yang Xiugang was in his early sixteenth year, but he was deeply loved by Cao Cao, and this time he was specially called to enlist in the army, went to war with the army, and now serves as a captain.

"Humph!! Children don't know the general situation!! Our army has raised the banner of crusade against the Namaxi thieves this time, and before they have been killed, they will bypass it. If it spreads, won't it be laughed at!? As soon as Yang Xiu's words fell, Cao Hong was stunned. Jia Xu also bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said: "I also have the same idea as Dezu, but after two days of going here, I explored the terrain around the Changfeng River and found that there are mountains and forests on both sides, but if it is far away, it will not only take a lot of time and delay the war, but once the Ma Jiajun learns about it, take the opportunity to send the elite to ambush first, our army is unpredictable and will be defeated!" ”

As soon as Cao Cao heard Jia Xu, he had no intention of obeying Yang Xiu. At this time, Yang Xiu smiled and said, "The military advisor's words are wrong. What I intend is that the lord will lead his troops to join General Xiahou in Hedong, attack Hanoi together, take Jizhou first, and then plot against Yanzhou. ”

Yang Xiu said this, but now he wanted to make a plan that Cao Cao had already set, and it was a complete mess. After all, Cao Cao decided from the beginning that he would lead troops to take Yanzhou first, while Xiahou Yuan led Hedong troops and horses to take Hanoi, and then entered Jizhou, preempting Guan Yu and capturing Yecheng. But Yang Xiu asked Cao Cao to abandon Yanzhou and concentrate his troops to attack Jizhou, which can be described as arrogant and bold!

Moreover, after the pre-war discussion, Cao Cao made a decision after a decision with a group of civil and military personnel. Doesn't this mean that everyone is not as good as him, Yang Xiu is just one person!?

"Arrogant boy, I think you're too long!! If you dare to talk nonsense again, mess with the hearts of our army, be careful that Lao Tzu tears you up!! Sure enough, Cao Hong was furious when he heard this, slapped a few times, and glared angrily.

Zhang Xiu and Lu Qian and other generals also showed their anger. On the other side, on the strategist seat, Xun You, Jiang Ji, Dong Zhao and others also showed their own gloom.

At this time, Yang Xiushu stood up, and after bowing his hand, he saw that his eyes were shining, and he said in shock: "Cao Gong, listen to the junior." Now Yanzhou is being attacked by all sides, among which there are 50,000 troops under Liu Bei and Cao Bao and Chen Deng in the northeast.

However, the ghost god in Yanzhou is not an ordinary person, and he has already sent generals to make arrangements. Therefore, the battle of Yanzhou, once opened, will be attacked by many forces in chaos, and it will inevitably fall into chaos. Therefore, Xiu thinks that it is better to take advantage of this to gather troops, first take Jizhou, a treasure land rich in money and grain, and then wait for the ghost and his command to fight and defeat all forces, and then raise a large army to rush to take Yanzhou!! ”

I only heard Yang Xiu's words fiercely, and he spoke passionately and generously, and even some people were infected by him, showing a little bit of agreement. However, the important civil and military forces under Cao Cao's command were all dark and calm.

At this time, Xun You couldn't listen to it, so he suddenly got up, glanced at Yang Xiu, and then turned his head and said to Cao Cao: "The lord is going to listen to this arrogant junior's nonsense. Ma Xi's courage is not inferior to the Xiang nationality, although the courage of the puppet is not enough, but the overlord's Xiao, but can conquer the world, when the Xiang nationality with courage to take half of the country, the lord should be cautious. Moreover, there is no shortage of talents under Ma Xi's command, if they are not eliminated as soon as possible, but if the allies are broken by Ma Xi and his command one by one, and then hold on firmly, looking for opportunities to counterattack, our army will be unable to support it alone. Once the war drags on, food is scarce, and the army has to be withdrawn as a last resort, it will be destroyed!

And according to his humble opinion, when there is only one who can compete with the lord for hegemony today, but Ma Xi alone, he will be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent future troubles! At the moment, there are many attacks, even if this ghost god has three heads and six arms, and he lacks skills, how can he miss this great opportunity!? ”

"What Gongda Gong said is reasonable, Ma Xi is evil, get rid of it as soon as possible!!" As soon as Xun You's voice fell, on the strategist's seat, Jiang Ji, Dong Zhao and others immediately responded in unison. Cao Hong and other soldiers also echoed one after another.

Cao Cao's details like a black hole shook suddenly, and he said: "What everyone says is exactly what I want!" Where does evil come from!? ”

Hearing Cao Cao's shout, Dian Wei, who was standing on Cao Cao's left, immediately turned around and knelt down, his evil eyes flashed with a terrifying killing light, and shouted: "Evil is here!" ”

"I ordered you to be the vanguard general, and lead the three thousand tiger guards to kill first, but you must remember that Ma Xi is powerful and by no means inferior to you, and this person is not short of strategy, you have to be careful!" Cao Cao commanded. Dian Wei saw Cao Cao showing a rare stern look, and couldn't help but feel nervous, and he was busy and cautiously agreed.
