Guo Jia and Xiahoudun were trapped in Onozawa. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unable to break through the defense line of the Tianhai camp, Guo Jia asked people to return to the west coast to raise food and grass.

Raising food for the Cao army, on the way back, people often fall into the swamp.

Guo Jia has no better choice.

Back off?

will be wasted, once Yuan Xu leads the army to Nanpi, whether Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Tan or not.

The army marches forward?

The Tianhai camp guarded the east bank, and every time the Cao army attacked, the result was only to leave countless corpses sinking or floating in the water.

At first, they were able to land on the shore, but later, due to the excessive loss of troops, the morale of the generals also fell to the bottom, and the Cao army did not even approach the shore in the next few attacks.

More than ten days later, Guo Jia was sitting on a raft looking at the Tianhai camp on the shore, when a raft leaned up.

The officer of Cao Jun on the raft came closer, hugged his fists and said: "Qi Guo Gong, Ma Teng led an army of 20,000 and is rushing to Dayozawa!" ”

Hearing that Ma Teng led the army to Dayozawa, Guo Jia frowned and asked, "Can you find out what he wants?" ”

"Ma Teng had earlier ordered Ma Xiu to contact Yuan Xu and ask him to kill Ma Fei's uncle and nephew." The officer said: "Yuan Xu refused, the Ma army is here, presumably to conquest Yuan Xu!" ”

The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and Guo Jia instructed the officer: "Send someone to ask for Ma Teng, and allow him to take the head of Ma Fei's uncle and nephew after defeating Yuan Xu." ”

The officer answered, and ordered the soldiers on the raft to row north.

The Tianhai battalion was stationed on the east coast.

Where Guo Jialing moved his army, the camp of Tianhai Camp would also move.

Sending a small number of scouts is not easy to attract the attention of the Tianhai Battalion.

"Guo Gong!" Seeing the raft go away, Xiahoudun said to Guo Jia: "The Ma army is here, and the situation seems to be more complicated. ”

"General Xiahou rest assured!" Guo Jia said: "Ma Teng led the army to come here because of our help. Whether you can go ashore or not, it's all in Matteng! ”

Xiahou looked at Guo Jia in amazement.

Although Ma Teng and Cao Cao had no grudges in the past, and they never attacked each other, he was a heroic man who had guarded Xiliang for many years.

When the army came to the Central Plains, what was the plan, Xiahoudun was not sure at all.

Compared with Xiahoudun's worries, Guo Jia is much calmer.

Ma Xiu is the son of Ma Teng, so he went to ask to see Yuan Xu, which shows that in Ma Teng's view, Ma Fei's uncle and nephew have a decisive status.

Guo Jia had already thought of this, so he sent someone to contact Ma Teng.

Xiahoudun didn't see through it, and was still worried that when Ma Teng's army came, it was difficult to determine whether it was friend or foe!

led the army to stay overnight, and soon Ma Teng came to a place only fifty miles away from Onozawa.

The herald ordered the three armies to be stationed in place, and Ma Teng entered the tent, and his third son Ma Tie came outside the tent: "Father, Guo Jia asked people to come and ask to see!" ”

Guo Jia is a military sacrificial wine under Cao Cao, and has a important position around Cao Cao.

The most important thing is that he is leading the army to confront Yuan Xu in Onozawa at this time.

Sending people to ask for a meeting is nothing more than an attempt to form an alliance with Ma Teng.

There are as many as 20,000 elite people in Xiliang under Ma Teng, and there are only more than 20,000 people in the Tianhai camp under Yuan Xu.

does not have an advantage in numbers, and if he wants to win, there is only one way in front of Ma Teng - to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with Guo Jia.

After thinking for a while, Ma Teng instructed Ma Tie: "Please come to the tent to meet!" ”

Ma Tie retreated.

Ma Teng entered the tent, and without waiting for long, the officers who came on Guo Jia's orders arrived outside the tent.

Ma Tie went first, got Ma Teng's permission, and asked the officer to enter the account.

Entering Ma Teng's tent, the officer gave him a big salute and said, "A certain soldier has come to see General Ma on the order of the military division to sacrifice wine!" ”

Sitting upright and looking at the officer from head to toe, Ma Teng asked, "Dare to ask, but Guo Fengxiao ordered you to come?" ”

"Exactly!"

"I have heard of Guo Fengxiao's name for a long time, but I have never met." Ma Teng said: "A few days ago, I heard that he was intercepted by Yuan Xianxin in Dayozawa, and now he is neither advancing nor retreating, but is there such a thing? ”

"That's exactly what happened." The officer answered again.

Brushing his beard, the expression on Ma Teng's face became a little strange.

He asked the officer, "Dare to ask Guo Fengxiao why you came?" ”

The officer said: "General Huima, the military advisor sacrificed wine and ordered a certain to come, because he wanted to discuss Yuan Xianxin with the general!" ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Ma Teng said: "Guo Fengxiao is trapped in Dayozawa, and he is in a dilemma, what is the benefit of forming an alliance with him?" ”

"Dare to ask General Ma, but do you want to crusade against Yuan Xianxin?" The officer did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Yuan Xianxin doesn't have too many soldiers and horses." Ma Teng said: "He is stationed behind the water, and a certain leader will be able to break it if he goes, so why should he form an alliance with Guo Fengxiao?" ”

Ma Teng's words meant to refuse.

The officer said: "General Ma only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. ”

"I want to hear about it!" Ma Teng gestured.

Clenching his fists and bowing, the officer said to Ma Teng: "It is true that Guo Gong was trapped in Dayozawa, but the loss of our army is not much, but it is difficult for our army to expand because of Yuan Xianxin's defense of the coast, so it is difficult for our army to deploy, so it has been a confrontation for a long time." ”

Ma Teng didn't speak, just stared at the officer.

The officer was still calm, and said to Ma Teng: "Although General Ma has many soldiers and horses, there is not much difference between him and Yuan Xianxin. The Tianhai camp is powerful, and General Ma may not know. With all due respect, the general has commanded his soldiers and horses to face the Tianhai camp, but he is afraid that he will lose less and win more. ”

The officer's words were straightforward, and Ma Teng's face was somewhat ugly.

He frowned slightly, and asked the officer, "Could it be that you look down on a certain soldier under your command?" ”

The officer hurriedly said: "Forgive me, general, I don't have this intention!" ”

Staring at the officer, after a while, the corners of Ma Teng's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and asked him: "If a certain alliance with Guo Fengxiao, I don't know what his plan is?" ”

"The general's alliance with Guo Gong is an alliance with Cao Gong." The officer said: "Looking at the Central Plains, who can match Cao Gong? When Yuan Xianxin is defeated, how can Cao Gong thin the general? ”

"That's not what I asked." Ma Teng said: "A certain question is, what is Guo Gong's plan to break Yuan Xianxin?" ”

"Guo Gong asked the general to lead his troops directly to Yuan Xianxin's Chinese army, no matter who stopped him in the middle of the road, just don't pay attention to it!" The officer said: "When Yuan Xianxin's Chinese army is in turmoil, General Guo Gongzi will lead the army to land. At that time, the two armies will attack together, no matter how good Yuan Xianxin is, he is not the opponent of the general and Guo Gong! ”

Brushing his beard, Ma Teng frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said to the officer: "Tell Guo Fengxiao that a certain leader will fight against Yuan Xianxin tomorrow!" ”

The officer was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly responded and told Ma Teng to leave.

When the officer of the Cao army retreated, Ma Teng instructed Ma Tie: "Order the army, feast on the war tonight, and wait until tomorrow to attack Yuan Xianxin!" ”

Ma Tie retreated in response and conveyed the order. (To be continued.) )
