Since Yin Mu was brought back to the house by Xun Gang, he has been quite loved by Lu Lingqi and Yuan Min; And because Yin Mu's age is almost the same as everyone else, there is no restraint on the surface, as if she is a sister, no problem. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

And since Yin Mu entered Xun Gang's house, he has been well-behaved and smart, and he actually made Lao Cao next door look pleasing to the eye, and wanted to be a matchmaker for his third son Cao Zhang. Xun Gang was feeling a headache, but he didn't expect Yin Mu to suddenly speak: "Mu'er just wants to follow the third uncle in this life!" ”

Mom, this voice was crisp, Xun Gang fell on the spot, but Cao Cao was angry enough; Xun Gang thought that he couldn't afford to offend Boss Cao, so he persuaded Cao Cao to go back.

However, the Han Dynasty had a rule that a woman would be fined if she still did not marry at the age of fifteen, and it was said that the older she was, the greater the fine. When Xun Gang asked about Yin Mu, Yin Mu replied innocently: "When the time comes, won't the third uncle marry me?" ”

Although Xun Gang was happy, he could obviously feel the two terrifying sights behind him......

Maybe it's because I've been with Xun Biao for a long time, although Yin Mu faintly exudes a fairy aura, but because he has less communication with the mortal world, he doesn't understand the rules, and he doesn't know that he and Xun Gang are close relatives and can't get married. But Xun Gang didn't want to tell her this, after all, such a cute little Lori, he didn't want to cheapen other men.

But the two ladies felt a strong sense of crisis......

"Mu'er is already not young, and in two years, she should find a good family to marry!"

"Xun Gang, you guy, do you still want to raise her for the rest of your life? Duke Wei has come to the door, why did you refuse him? ”

But in the face of the doubts of the two, Xun Gang could only persuade each other with good words, but he didn't even think about it, and these two ladies actually ate the vinegar of their nieces......

However, Cao Cao seemed to see Yin Mu, and a few days later, he actually played the Han Emperor, and Xun Gang guarded Xuchang with merit, and the merits were offset by the merits, and he went to the former general, and was named the hussar general, and the position was only lower than the prime minister and the general. But Xun Gang knew that Cao Cao was trying to woo him, maybe because of Xun Yu, or maybe because of Yin Mu. All in all, Xun Gang smiled, but he would never give in to Yin Mu's matter.

Cao Cao had no choice but to take every step of the way.

In the spring of the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao once again crusaded against Hebei, intending to drive Youzhou Qiu Liju and Bingzhou Kebi out of the Central Plains, and further consolidate the Hebei region, and then go south to Jingzhou and enter the world!

Cao Cao took Xiahou Yuan's troops as the vanguard, marched from Huguan and Hedong, and defeated Kebineng; Kebi was able to escape from Youzhou and take refuge in Qiu Liju, Cao Cao was about to catch up, and suddenly a messenger came to report: "Hanzhong Zhang Lu contacted Liangzhou to assassinate Shi Ma Teng to attack Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang was defeated, come to the lord for help!" ”

Cao Cao said indignantly: "I want to pacify Hebei, but why should Liu Zhang worry about it? Cast the messenger out! ”

"Wait!"

Suddenly, someone stopped him, and Cao Cao saw it as Xun You, so he asked, "What does Gongda mean by this?" ”

Xun You said: "Lord, now that we have pacified and merged the state, only Youzhou is still in the hands of the Hu people." In my opinion, it is only necessary to send a general to subdue it, and the lord should move to the northwest to pacify the traitor Ma Teng! ”

Cao Cao was puzzled, because Liangzhou had been war-torn for a long time, and the people were fierce, not only difficult to attack, but also difficult to develop, which was simply a chicken rib. Why did you attack Maten at this time? This is what Cao Cao can least understand.

"Lord, Liu Zhang is weak, if it weren't for the Yizhou Shi clan, I'm afraid that Liu Zhang would have been broken by Zhang Lu. Now that Zhang Lu has contacted Ma Teng, he is bound to win Yizhou in one fell swoop; And Ma Teng's wolf ambition will soon annex Zhang Lu. At that time, using Yizhou and Liangzhou, you can go north to Chang'an, and you can retreat to live in Congshan, which is very difficult. It is better to take this opportunity to defeat Ma Teng and take Liangzhou, then Liu Zhang surrendered without a fight, and then went down the river, took Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and dominated the world, just around the corner! ”

"That's a brilliant plan!"

Cao Cao suddenly realized when he heard this, and on the one hand, he ordered Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao to supervise the war in Hebei, and he led the remaining soldiers and horses back to Xu, and after rectifying for ten years, he raised troops to Chang'an and attacked Liangzhou.

In this expedition to Xiliang, Cao Cao brought Cao Pi with him in addition to his own soldiers and horses; However, when he heard about the war in Liangzhou, even Xun Gang planned to get involved. Cao Cao thought to himself that you rejected me before, and I have to reject you too! Don't marry your niece, beg me!

But who knew that Xun Gang had already bought Cao Pi Cao Chong in the name of the teacher, and the pillow in front of him (wait, pillow?) All sorts of boasting; In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to take this hussar general with no military power.

Xun Gang naturally did not unconditionally dedicate light and heat, because he had no intention of helping Cao Cao from the bottom of his heart; He had already made preparations for Cao Cao, just waiting for Cao Cao to jump, and then there would be another means to turn Cao Cao's military action upside down.

In order to avoid Xun Gang being too embarrassed, Cao Cao handed over Lu Bu's 1,000 tigers and leopards and Yu Ban's 2,000 foot soldiers to Xun Gang.

When he arrived in Chang'an, he heard the news from Chang'an Taishou Zhong Xuan: "Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Liangzhou military horses, united with a total of 30,000 people from the Qiang tribe to enter Yangping, and Zhang Luhui made a way. ”

Cao Cao said: "I asked Ma Teng to come to help before, and you were the messenger, do you know who needs to pay attention to this Ma Teng and his subordinates?" ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui are all local talents, and their talents are on par with Dong Zhuo, and the Qiang people are more obedient. Especially Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, has the courage of ten thousand people, and the Qiang people sent the number 'Jin Ma Chao'! Some people even call it 'General Shenweitian', which should not be underestimated! ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed and said, "Just a child, you dare to call yourself the general of Shenweitian, you are too underestimate of me!" ”

"Naturally, it can't be compared to General Lu," Zhong Xuan also knew that Lu Bu was powerful, and pretended to flatter him, and said, "Ma Teng's nephew Ma Dai and the general Pang De, although their bravery is inferior to Ma Chao, they are still not to be underestimated......

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought a little and said: "The people of Liangzhou are fierce, if this is the case, they must not be hard to touch, and they need to use tricks...... But I don't know what it's really about, and I should be a little tempted and make a decision! ”

The mastermind Xun You said: "Ma Teng, Han Sui and other main soldiers and horses are all in Jiameng, but because of the treacherous terrain of Xichuan, 30,000 people are not even as good as 3,000 people; As long as Liu Zhang has someone under him, he should be able to defend it. Our most important enemy is the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Ma Chao who are now stationed west of Weishui. ”

Weishui is the largest tributary of the Yellow River, flowing through the north of Chang'an, passing through Xianyang, Fufeng, Wugong, Chencang and other places, stretching endlessly. The actual boundary between Ma Teng and Cao Cao is almost isolated by Weishui; Now Ma Chao is stationed west of Fufeng and north of Wugong, occupying key points to prevent Cao Cao from passing by.

And if you want to enter Yizhou, you must pass through the Qinling Mountains; The terrain of Sichuan is treacherous, and if you don't cross the road, it will inevitably take time and effort. Therefore, defeating Ma Chao is the top priority.

"Just five thousand dare to come and provoke?" Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, "Ma Chao treats me as nothing!" Before coming to the Japanese battle, I will let this son know that our army is powerful! ”

However, before the words fell, he saw a person under Zhong Xuan's command come out and said respectfully: "Duke Wei must not underestimate Ma Chao!" ”

The sudden deflating words made Cao Cao a little annoyed; After examining this person, he was dissatisfied, "Who are you?" ”

"In Xia Xinfeng (east of Chang'an) county, Zhang Ji ......"

"Nonsense, how can the county order make a big deal of nonsense here? Kicked out with me! ”

Zhong Miao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Duke Wei is angry! Zhang is known for his intrigues, and his political achievements are always the first in the three auxiliaries. asked for Ma Teng's help before, this person also has a lot of credit, Wei Gong thinks twice! ”

"Such a powerful person?"

Cao Cao was also intimidated by Zhong Xuan's words, thinking that he didn't ask for talent without asking about his background, how could he cut off the way out of others by himself? Then he ordered someone to release Zhang Ji and asked, "What plan do you have, tell me about it?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "I don't dare to be strategic, it's just that Ma Chao has a javelin in his hands, although the number is only 1,000, but the combat effectiveness is quite amazing, and Duke Wei needs to be cautious......"

Cao Cao thought it was a big deal, so he didn't care, and asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”

"The Liangzhou scholars are dissatisfied with Ma Chao's dominance, because they have old friends with me, they sent a letter to me some time ago, saying that Liangzhou is empty at the moment, and if Wei Gong is interested, he will immediately offer Liangzhou ......"

Cao Cao thought this was important information, but it was too early at the moment, so he put it on hold for the time being; After discussing some brainless things, it was agreed that the troops would be sent in three days, and the military discussion was dispersed.

said that Xun Gang did not say a word in the military discussion, perhaps he did not have much delusion about the big war after three days. And Ma Chao faced Cao Cao...... Tsk tsk.

However, Zhang Ji's appearance suddenly gave Xun Gang eye medicine. Xun Gang realized that Cao Cao did not attach importance to Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji seemed to have a good prestige in Longyou, Cao Cao gave up such a talent, but he was afraid that he would be sad at that time......

However, Xun Gang also plans to wait and see, and after Cao Cao's rear changes, he will take full charge of the northwest affairs......

But before that, you have to get Cao Cao's trust first......
