However, Cao Cao is broad-minded, as long as it is conducive to the current situation, this little thing can be ignored. But seeing Cao Cao nodding his head, he said with a smile: "Hehe, the Sun family has already expressed sincerity, and it doesn't hurt to agree." But I want to give it a dismount. Let's wait a few days. ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, everyone immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions, so they remained silent. The soldier who came to report was obedient, and immediately surrendered his hand to receive the order, and immediately retreated. Cao Cao pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Xun Yu on the other side and asked, "Gongda, how is Ma Chao'er's current situation?" ”

The information about the princes in various places has always been the responsibility of Xun You. Xun You was obedient, and immediately looked solemn, and replied: "Back to the lord, according to careful investigation, at the moment Yongzhou seems to be calm, but in fact, the waves are surging, and many people have begun to flock to my Central Plains. However, I have to say that the open and secret struggle between the two brothers is really regrettable. Otherwise, the Ma brothers join forces, and there is really no force in the world that can confront them. ”

It is said that not long after the drastic change in the Chang'an General's Mansion a few years ago, Ma Chao suddenly ordered to arrest those subordinates who had followed his brother Ma Xi back then. Fortunately, it seems that most of these people have already resigned or fled. One of them lost their whereabouts, and the other large part rushed to Jincheng in Liangzhou. After the news came out, there were more and more people in Jincheng soon, and there were nearly more than 10,000 people gathered. Ma Chao was furious when he learned about it, and regardless of everyone's persuasion, he raised troops to fight. However, because Zhang Lu and the Qianghu people in Hanzhong united to invade the Xiliang border pass. Ma Chao had no choice but to turn to fight with Zhang Lu's army, and sent Ma Dai to lead an elite army to meet Qianghu. And Ma Chao seemed to be holding his breath, and as soon as he met Zhang Lujun, he led the elite to break into the enemy and killed several generals under Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu, who thought that Xiliang was chaotic and could take advantage of it, saw that Ma Chao was so brave and fierce, timid and fearful, and soon ordered the withdrawal of the army, but he was still noticed by Ma Chao, pursued his army for more than ten miles, and led his troops to behead nearly 10,000. At the same time, Ma Dai, who fought fiercely against the Qianghu people, also led the elite to victory.

It is said that those Qianghu people who thought that with the death of Ma Teng, Ma Chao and Ma Xi turned against each other, and the Ma family was in a slump, they were arrogant at first, thinking that there were many people and few fortifications, but in the end they were repeatedly succeeded by Ma Dai with cavalry surprise attacks, and the Qianghu people were all killed, lost their armor, and fled in embarrassment.

Later, Ma Chao personally switched to Qianghu, fought outside the border for several months, and plundered countless good horses, strong men, cattle and sheep. All the tribes of Qianghu are Ma Chao, but also because Ma Chao fights, he will be the first to take the lead, rush to kill, extremely fierce, a silver dragon armor is dyed red by the enemy's blood, and is called 'blood dragon general' by the Qianghu people.

It is said that in the past few months, more than a dozen chiefs of various tribes of various sizes died at the hands of Ma Chao, and more than 100 Qianghu warriors killed by Ma Chao. The Qianghu people were all convinced, and they all surrendered to Ma Chao, and for a while, the prestige of General Ma Chao's blood dragon even surpassed that of his ancestor General Fubo!

However, soon after, Ma Chao led his troops to attack Jincheng. But the people of Jincheng stuck to the city, united as one, Ma Chao repeatedly attacked and could not break through, and because of repeated battles, the men and horses under his command were exhausted, and they had to retreat.

After that, Xiliang was able to calm down. And not long ago, Ma Chao saw that his men and horses had recovered and were full of energy, and after some drills, he wanted to conquer Jincheng again, but he didn't know that at this time, Hedong suddenly gathered a large number of troops. In order to guard against his brother's attack, Ma Chao had no choice but to immediately lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Yongzhou.

"In the past few years, Ma Mengqi has been fighting in the east and west, and rarely stops. Speaking of this so-called iron-blooded elite, the best training method is undoubtedly through fighting, shaped in the tempering of life and death. Such an iron-blooded elite is bloody, and even in a critical situation, it will not mess up and dare to fight with the enemy. Those who have good equipment and are strong in combat training on weekdays, but when they get to the battlefield and need to fight to the death, they are in chaos first. These soldiers are not enough to be called elite, because it is precisely this blood that they lack!! I only heard Cao Cao chant and said, and his eyes flashed and shone. Xiahoudun on the side heard this, and his only eyes bloomed with light, and he said with a shocking color: "What the lord said is true, when it comes to blood, the iron-blooded army under a certain command will not be inferior to any army in the world!" ”

"Hahahaha~! Look at Yuan to let you be like this, it seems that in the past few years, it can suffocate you~! Cao Cao saw that Xiahou suddenly rose up with a murderous aura, and couldn't help laughing. When Xiahou heard this, his face was shocked, and he said angrily: "As the lord said, a certain and his sons have long been unbearable, but there is a war, and a certain is willing to be the vanguard, so that the enemy can see the sharpness of my Cao army!" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Cao Cao listened, smiled and said unhurriedly. Xiahou was stunned when he saw it, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he heard that Cao Cao had summoned everyone to come this time, and he thought that Cao Cao was about to be transferred, so he was excited, but at the moment Cao Cao's attitude was difficult to measure, and he couldn't help but secretly guess Cao Cao's thoughts.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Lord, I thought that Ma Chao was fierce and could use him to contain Ma Xi." Besides, since Ma Teng's death, the position of Yongzhou Assassin has been vacant, and the lord can use this as a favor to ease the relationship with Ma Chao first. In this way, our army can fight with confidence. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's heart was worried. Cao Cao couldn't help but look at it, and when he saw the man, he couldn't help but condense, and said: "What Yuan Chang said is very good, and I also have this intention." It is said that if there was no Yuan Chang's courage and wit, or the Cao family would have long ceased to exist! That's a lot of it! ”

Looking at that person, it was Zhong Xuan, who was lurking beside Ma Teng back then. For the Ma family, Zhong Xuan may be hateful. But for the Cao family, Zhong Xuan's courage and wisdom and his loyalty to the king's life are worthy of admiration. It is said that after Zhong Xuan came back, Cao Cao did not treat him badly, and immediately rewarded him with a heavy reward, and sent him as Shang Shuling. Later, Cao Cao heard that Zhong Miao was leaving in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to take his two sons away. It is said that Zhong Miao brought his two sons to Chang'an to save his life (at that time, in order to turn Ma Teng and Ma Xi's father and son against him, Cao Cao deliberately ordered the Zhong family to be copied. Among them, only Zhong Xuan and his two sons were spared) and the second was to gain Ma Teng's trust as a hostage.

I have to say that in order to make the Ma family's father and son turn against each other and do a good job of this spy, Zhong Miao sacrificed a lot, Cao Cao would not treat him badly, and even personally acted as a matchmaker to let Zhong Miao marry the daughter of Taifu Yang Biao. Now Zhong Miao has also re-established a family, and soon gave birth to a daughter, which can be regarded as family harmony.

"The lord is serious, the so-called food of the king, sharing the king's worries, this is the duty of the minister. Even if there is another chance to choose for Miao, Miu will still complete his mission without hesitation. What's more, the lord has never treated him badly, this great kindness and great virtue will be difficult to repay for eternity! But seeing that Zhong Miao said righteous words, but everyone saw that he was much thinner than when he joined the command of Cao Cao, and he was in the prime of life, but now his temples were white, and there was a lot of silver frost on his head, and they couldn't help but feel extremely sorry. Everyone understands that this is all suffered by Zhong Xuan when he was in Ma Jiajun. It is said that when Zhong Miao just escaped from Ma Jiajun, everyone was startled when they saw him, when Zhong Miao was a little scary, his expression was extremely haggard, and he seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, only when he saw Cao Cao, he seemed to be back to life, and it was not uncommon at that time, and they couldn't help crying.

"Yuan Chang is loyal, Cao can get it, it is really Cao's luck!" Cao Cao waved his beard lightly, and then rewarded Zhong Miao again. Zhong Xuan was flattered and hurriedly said: "The lord has rewarded him many times, how dare he be insatiable!?" Wouldn't it be better to ask the lord to distribute these rewards to the officers and men of the army in order to boost morale? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression sank slightly, but when he saw Zhong Xuan's eyes, he couldn't help but feel strong, so he ordered someone to convert the reward he said into silver taels and distribute them to the officers and soldiers in the army.

"Zhong Yuanchang is loyal and righteous, and he is not inferior to Xiao He and Chen Ping. With the assistance of such good talents, how can the lord worry about the great cause? At that moment, someone suddenly shouted. Everyone looked over and saw that it was the military advisor Jia Xu. When Cao Cao saw it, he squinted his eyes with interest, raised his eyebrows and said: "Yuan often has Xiao and Chen Zhicai, but I don't know if the public can have Zhang Liangzhi's strategy?" ”

"Hehe, the lord already has a fixed number in his heart, so why bother with such a move?" Jia Xu was obedient, smiled faintly, and said. When everyone heard that they were finally about to get to the point, they couldn't help but look shocked, but Jia Xu was selling Guan Zi again, and Cao Hong, who was very anxious, couldn't help but stare and shouted: "Strategist, you don't pretend to be pretty, just say it!" I'll wait for the soldiers to prepare, go home and arrange it first! ”

"Haha, Zilian is afraid that he won't be able to explain clearly, and your wife's fierce wife wants to teach you a lesson?" When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. Cao Hong's expression immediately changed greatly, his face turned red instantly, and he yelled again and again, shouting at Xiahou Yuan for talking nonsense and ruining his reputation. However, everyone present knew that Cao Hong's fierce wife was powerful, and they all laughed secretly. After a period of nonsense, Cao Cao laughed, suddenly the ground sank, the light of his eyes flickered, and he said to Jia Xu: "Okay, it's time to talk about business now." Regarding the next strategy, I did discuss with Wen Ruo, but I also want to hear Wen He's opinions? ”

Jia Xu was obedient, so he also looked solemn, stepped forward, and said in a condensed voice: "But I see that the lord is now repeatedly showing grace and power, rewarding princes from all over the world to win the hearts of the people. But only Liu Biao in Jingzhou did not say anything. Besides, the lord wants to use Ma Chao to clamp down on Ma Xi, and hopes to form an alliance with the Sun family, if the guess is correct, the lord is afraid that he is ready to join forces with the Sun family and take down the land of Jingzhou! ”

"Hahahaha~! is a good Jia Wenhe, his vision is still so sharp, and he hits the nail on the head~!! That's right, what a certain plot is for the treasure land of Jingzhou~! Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard this, and suddenly became arrogant.

It's just that Jia Xu suddenly shouted again: "However, in the opinion of the foolish minister, the lord is a great man, and I am afraid that the place drawn will not be just one Jingzhou, or to be precise, it should be half of Jingzhou!" ”

As soon as Jia Xu said this, everyone changed color, and everyone frowned and looked thoughtful. Cao Cao suddenly shot out two terrifying rays of light, took a step forward, and shouted, "What is Wenhe's opinion!?" ”

In the face of Cao Cao's aggressive momentum, Jia Xu's face was calm, not frightened, and said in a deep voice: "That Sun Bofu is domineering, ambitious, and bent on establishing a great achievement, Wen has Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other prodigies, Wu has Zhou Tai, Tai Shici, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other loyal warriors, his command is full of talents, and monopolizes Jiangdong, it is said that not long ago Sun Ce broke through the army of Jiaozhou Shixie, and conquered a barbarian tribe in Jiaozhou, for a while, the name of "little overlord" is even more prestigious, and captured most of the land in Jiaozhou. With the foundation of the Sun family today, it can even establish a royal industry. Sun Bofu is ambitious, but at this time, he voted to the lord to be sincere, and the overlord must have a big strategy, I am afraid that what he is planning is also Jingzhou! Therefore, the lord wants to unite with the Sun family, and it is impossible to monopolize the land of Jingzhou! ”

But listening to Jia Xu's witty words, everyone's expressions changed again and again, and they couldn't even react for a while.

As for Cao Cao and Xun Yu, they both showed a hint of surprise. Xun Yu suddenly sank, and asked in a hurry: "Shicai Wenhe said that the lord's plan is not only that, if the text can know how the lord wants to act?" ”

Jia Xu was obedient and suddenly showed a bright smile. When Xun Yu saw it, he secretly screamed badly, as if he had fallen for his plan.
