After the first battle of Zidingtao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu both rested their dishes, and neither of them refused to send troops lightly.

In fact, Cao Cao really wanted to send troops to attack Lu Bu, of course, whether it was a real attack or a fake attack, Ma Xiaoquan could see it at a glance.

Cao Cao preached all day long that he wanted to beat Lu Bu, and he called until the summer, and Ma Xiao didn't see Cao Cao's movement.

On this day, Cao Cao preached again, seeing that Cao Cao's cowhide was about to blow to the sky, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't sit still, stepped forward and kicked Cao Cao hard, and then said: "You brag like this all day long, what's the point?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Lord Shangxian, where are you bragging?" really want to fight. ”

Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes and said: "You fart, do you think that this immortal didn't see it, you and Na Lu Bu are both short of grain and grass, and you can fight without grain and grass?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said sternly: "Since Lord Shangxian knows that Cao is short of grain and grass, why don't you conjure some up for us to use?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan kicked Cao Cao again and scolded: "Get it for nothing? Are you a good kid? ”

Cao Cao scratched his scalp, rubbed his buttocks, and hurriedly pulled over a map, and unfolded: "Lord Shangxian misunderstood Cao, in fact, Cao has already thought of a good strategy to deal with Lu Bu."

Ma Xiaoquan likes Cao Cao, although this guy looks bohemian and easy to be complacent, but he does have his own set of rules for leading troops to fight.

After Cao Cao's analysis, Ma Xiaoquan understood that Cao Cao seemed to be going to grab food with Lu Bu.

It turned out that Cao Cao sent scouts to investigate and came back, and learned that Lu Bu was going to harvest wheat in Juye.

Of course, Cao Cao couldn't let Lu Bu succeed, and of course, Cao Cao also clearly told Ma Xiaoquan that he was determined to get these wheat.

Ma Xiaoquan learned from the data device in his body that Cao Cao had indeed grabbed the food in the first battle of Juye, and since then after the first battle, Lu Bu has really collapsed.

Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, what should you do next?" ”

Lord Shangxian has a life-saving grace for Cao Cao, so Cao Cao did not hide it in front of Ma Xiao at all.

Cao Cao said: "Juye Juye, because there is a big swamp in the jurisdiction, the land is large and the soil is fertile, and the wheat that grows is full, but if I want to rush to grab grain with Lu Bu, I will inevitably be hit by Lu Bu Therefore."

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and said: "I want to attack Juye before the wheat is ripe, Lu Bu learned that he will definitely bring troops to rescue, if Lu Bu moves slower than me, I will capture Juye, of course, it is the best, if I can't capture Juye, I can also wait for Lu Bu to come to help, and then I will take the opportunity to attack him"

Cao Cao's analysis is very reasonable, of course, Ma Xiaoquan also knows that now Lu Bu and Chen Gong must also have the same calculation as Cao Cao.

Shanyang County, where Lu Bu was stationed.

In the tent, Lu Buzheng and Chen Gong were thinking about how to deal with Cao Cao.

Lu Bu asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you said that Cao Cao will definitely attack Juye and grab food with us?" ”

Chen Gong nodded, and arched his hand: "Lord, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, didn't we just because of the lack of follow-up supplies in the first few times?" ”

Lu Bu was silent.

Chen Gong continued: "Lord, since Cao Cao wants to attack Juye, we might as well put a long line to catch a big fish."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up: "Say it quickly!" ”

Chen Gong prostrated in Lu Bu's ear and muttered for a while.

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu scratched his ears and eyes, blinked uncertainly and asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai, is this okay?" ”

Chen Gong touched the beard on his chin, pouted and said: "Cao Cao is treacherous with soldiers, the lord, although the plan is so, but in the strain on the battlefield, the lord still has to learn more."

Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently: "Then let's do it according to the plan of the public station."

Cao Cao and Lu Bu both had the intention of being a fisherman, and marched to Juye with each other.

Ma Xiaoquan couldn't participate in the war and didn't want to participate, so he decided to follow Cao Cao's army to Juye to have a look, first, to satisfy his curiosity; Second, it is also to exercise the courage of the apprentice Mao Gang.

Speaking of this apprentice, Ma Xiaoquan found that he was a little proud and domineering, in fact, it is no wonder that he is Ma Xiaoquan's apprentice, in the entire Ma family compound, in addition to being respectful to those few female dependents, it seems that he is not very polite to these four subordinates. Ding Yi once reported the situation to the master because of something, and Ma Xiaoquan did not make any statement at that time, but he had already put the matter of training his apprentice Mao Gang on the agenda.

It just so happened that the last battle of Dingtao and the upcoming battle of Juye could be a good exercise to exercise Mao Gang's courage, but the most important thing was actually another exercise plan that Ma Xiaoquan had already planned in his heart

"Mao Gang~"

Apprentice Mao Gang stepped forward, stood respectfully in front of Ma Xiaoquan, bowed and said, "Master, do you have something to order?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, sent Zhang Gong to give Mao Gang a horse, let him ride it, and then said to Mao Gang: "Go, go to Cao Cao's camp and learn to fight." ”

Mao Gang paused for a moment, not knowing what the master was thinking, but the master's life was difficult, so Mao Gang had to respectfully bow his hand and drive away.

Seeing that Mao had just walked away, Ma Xiaoquan recruited Zhang Gong and Ding Yi.

"The Master"

Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said to the two: "Give the two of you a task, remember, only at the most critical moment, the two of you can reach out to help"

When the two of them heard this, their hearts tightened, and they hurriedly asked, "Master, what are you?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, beckoned the two to the front, quietly commanded a few times, and sent the two away.

took the two of them away, Yang Hu and Liang Long surrounded them, and Yang Hu asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Master, why did you ask the boss to go, why don't you let us go?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan's eyes rolled: "Who said that you won't be allowed to go, it just so happens that there is also something to be handed over to the two of you."

After all four of his men left, Ma Xiaoquan patted the dust on his body and jumped off the chariot.

Walking in front of Cao Cao, Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, how many soldiers and horses did you bring to attack Juye?" ”

Cao Cao smiled, stretched out four fingers, and shook Ma Xiao twice in front of him.

Ma Xiaoquan laughed and walked away

Guarding Juye are Lu Bu's confidants Xue Lan and Li Feng, Ma Xiaoquan sent Liang Long to inquire about some of the two before: these two can be said to be Lu Bu's fans, Lu Bu usually goes to the left, these two definitely don't say go to the right.

Sitting on Cao Cao's chariot, Ma Xiaoquan laughed when he heard the news from the scout.

Ma Xiaoquan said: "That Lu Bu is really interesting, but he is really good at finding people, and he also knows how to use well-behaved people."

Cao Cao said respectfully: "Lord Shangxian, then Xue Lan and Li Feng are just two rice buckets, and Lord Shangxian quietly watches how to break through the gate of its giant field~"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he called Cao Ren over, and after giving Cao Ren a few words, Cao Ren took the order and left.

Sure enough, as Cao Cao said, this Xue Lan and Li Feng are indeed two rice buckets, and they don't dare to fight in Juye, and they don't even dare to scold with a little morale.

In the middle of the night, Ma Xiaoquan got up to pee, and just caught a fine work that lurked into Cao Ying.

Ma Xiaoquan slipped up this detail in front of Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao, "You shouldn't have noticed anything, right?" ”

Cao Cao understood what Lord Shangxian meant, and deliberately dragged his drunken voice: "Lord Shangxian, why did you suddenly come, come, drink, eh?" Who is this person, go out and go out~"

Cao Cao coaxed like this, and the fine work was like an amnesty, and he climbed out with a roll.

When the fine work slipped away without a shadow, Cao Cao asked Ma Xiaoquan with a straight face: "Lord Shangxian, what did you mean just now?"

Ma Xiaoquan admired Cao Cao's courage very much, although he didn't understand what he meant just now, but he was able to cooperate with him to do a show without understanding the meaning, well, this Cao Cao is indeed a strange commodity.

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Xiao Cao, you must have changed your mind, right?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and thought: Damn, why can't you hide anything from this demon.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Yes, instead of attacking Juye, it is better to ambush Na Lu Bu, which is interesting." ”

On the battlefield, if a general wants to win a big battle, it depends not only on the knowledge and experience of the general, but more importantly, whether a general is excellent or not depends on the general's on-the-spot adaptability and ability to control.

Cao Cao is.

has known Cao Cao for a few years, and Ma Xiaoquan has discovered Cao Cao's power more and more. In addition to being able to pass at one point and one pass, Cao Cao also has the biggest point, that is, his on-the-spot adaptability is very strong.

Watching Cao Cao fight, Ma Xiaoquan is actually learning, of course, the content of learning is not to lead the troops to fight, but to Cao Cao's adaptability.

As Cao Cao expected, Lu Bu led the front five thousand cavalry to come first. Cao Cao wanted this effect, and immediately ordered that he ambush crossbowmen in all the places where he must pass, cooperate with boulders and trees, and call Lu Bu's meat buns to beat dogs - there is no return.

Sure enough, because he was too impatient, Lu Bu really chose a forest and came overnight.

This made Cao Cao happy, and he hurriedly ordered that the crossbowmen were so good to serve, and while serving, they did not forget to seal the road with chaotic wood and boulders.

When the time came, Cao Hong led a large group of sergeants to rush out and fight with Lu Bu's front cavalry.

Among Cao Hong's soldiers, there is a person who still looks a little immature, this person is none other than Mao Gang, Ma Xiaoquan's apprentice.

Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Hong have a good relationship, and it is easy to arrange a person to go in, of course, when arranging, Ma Xiaoquan did not tell Cao Hong that Mao Gang was his apprentice, otherwise, Cao Hong would definitely treat Mao Gang like a guest.

"Kill" Before Mao could react, his colleagues around him had already raised their knives and pounced on Lu Bujun.

Mao Gang was so frightened that his legs trembled wildly, he looked left and right, and looked up and down, only to understand that the war was so terrible.

But on the battlefield, Mao Gang couldn't be allowed to think too much.

The young man gritted his teeth, raised his spear, and rushed forward.

Before he could rush a few steps, he bumped into a cavalry of Lu Bu's army, and before Mao Gang could react, he was kicked to the ground by this cavalry.

"Ahem~~" This heavy foot, the kicked Mao Gang directly vomited blood, but the young man was still strong, and without saying a word, he stood up again and rushed over.
