Gongsun Zhan raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "It's just a lackey under Ma Chao, and he is not qualified to negotiate terms with Ben General." You also send a message to Ma Chao, if Ma Tie wants to live, let him come and talk to Ben General himself! Ben will give him ten days, otherwise he will only be able to see Ma Tie's head! He laughed.

The judge gritted his teeth in anger, and said word by word with his anger: "Gongsun Zhan, you don't want to be proud, today's humiliation, sooner or later, the trial will return it to you in every possible way!" ”

Gongsun Chan didn't care, in his opinion, as long as Ma Tie was in hand, he was not afraid of what tricks Ma Chao could play. Besides, Ma Chao can't spare his forces to deal with him now, otherwise Yuan Shao will definitely take advantage of the situation, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

At the moment, the two sides collected their own bodies and did not mention it. After this battle, Tian Hukang's 20,000 Hun cavalry lost more than 40 percent, not counting the lightly wounded and seriously wounded, if all of them were added together, it was 60 percent. Although Gongsun Zhan captured Ma Tie with Ji Sheng, his cavalry did not take any advantage, the killing efficiency of the horse sabre in the hands of the Hun cavalry is not comparable to the crude spear, if it is not for the javelin of the white horse Yicong to take advantage of the advantage, it is difficult to say whether the two sides can fight to a draw.

There was such a big event, and the trial was not responsible, so he ordered Tian Hukang and Gaoyang County to defend the camp, and he took a pair of personal soldiers to Wuchao to ask Ma Chao for his guilt.

Ma Chaozheng and Guo Jia, Xun You and others planned to send troops to Yanzhou in the near future, discussing how to eliminate Lu Yi, Chun Yuqiong, Cao Ying and others at the lowest cost. After hearing the news of Ma Tie's arrest, he was immediately stunned on the spot, and after hearing the whole story, he couldn't help but be silent, his face expressionless.

The judge was ashamed, and just after reporting the situation, he bowed down and said with a shameful face: "With the trust of the lord, General Ma Tie was captured, I have an unshirkable responsibility, and I ask the lord to surrender!" ”

Ma Chao let out a long sigh, and immediately personally helped up the trial, shook his head and said: "All this is caused by Ma Tie's reckless surname, what does it have to do with Zhengnan?" At the beginning, I just wanted to give Ma Tie more opportunities to practice, but I didn't think that he would be able to become a big weapon after all, he was still the hot temper he had at the beginning, in the final analysis, he would have done it! ”

The judge breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and comforted: "Don't worry, lord! Although the corporal of Gongsun Chan is fine, but the number is not enough to compete with our army, this battle annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, and 5,000 white horses have also lost more than 30%, if the lord waives the army to conquer in person, it is easy to capture Gongsun Zhan! ”

Ma Chao nodded, frowned and pondered for a while, and said confidently: "Gongsun Zhan is holding Ma Tie hostage, but he just wants to use this as capital to negotiate conditions with the general!" Otherwise, Ma Tie would have died a long time ago, after all, he didn't have the courage to reach the point of immortality, I want to see how much appetite he has! ”

Zhao Yun was angry when he heard it, and he hugged his fists and said: "Don't work for the lord to go out in person, the last general is willing to lead five thousand elites under his command to send troops to Youzhou, and see that his white horse is righteous, or the heavy armored cavalry of the last general is stronger!" ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "You Zilong can be guaranteed to be foolproof, but my brother Ma Tie fell into the hands of the enemy, and as a general of the dynasty, he would never mess up for Ma Tie, but at the same time, I am also a brother, how can I ignore my brother's life or death?" Therefore, it is imperative for Ben to personally conquer Youzhou! ”

Everyone saw that Ma Chao had made up his mind, and no one objected at the moment, after all, all this was reasonable. Xun You thought for a while and said: "It is okay for the lord to personally ask for Gongsun Zhan, but first of all, he must arrange all the affairs of the Central Plains, and he must not give up his efforts!" ”

Ma Chao nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "The battle of Yanzhou is about to start, this battle will determine the future trend of the two major military groups, and it is very important for us, so I can't be careless!" However, it won't take long to clean up a Gongsun Zhan, just Ben General and General Zilong and his party, which will not have much impact on the overall situation! ”

Everyone nodded in unison, all agreeing with Ma Chao's opinion, Huang Zhong came out of his hands and hugged his fists and said: "It's okay for the lord to go, and the last general will sit in Wuchao to ensure that the gate of Jizhou is foolproof." ”

Ma Chao said: "With Han Sheng, Gongda, Feng Xian and others presiding over the overall situation, I will naturally rest assured, even so, without further ado, Han Sheng and Feng Xian will stay in Wuchao, and Lu Yi, Chun Yuqiong, and Cao Ying will dare to storm Lu Bu's Dongjun City, and then they can send troops to Yanzhou to act when they have the opportunity, in short, they must not let Yuan Shao and Cao Ying cooperate to destroy Lu Bu!" ”

Guo Jia was a little excited, he didn't expect Ma Chao to be so heavy on him, and he hugged his fists and said: "Although the lord can rest assured, the real enemy of Yanzhou is Cao Ying, and Lu Yi and Chun Yuqiong are just foxes and fake tigers, and it is easy to break!" ”

"What Feng Xiao said is very true! What this general is afraid of is Cao Ying, this person will not be destroyed, and Yanzhou will not be able to be pacified! It's best to leave it to Hansheng and Bonghyo to deal with this matter! Ma Chao nodded and continued: "As for Gongda, there are other important tasks, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are stationed in Wenpin, Zhang He, and Xu Huang, with a total of 150,000 troops, and Gongda needs to go to preside over the overall situation!" ”

Xun You said: "You also have this intention! Wuchao has Fengxiao and Han Sheng, and the war in Xuzhou is also very important, if Yan Liangbu can be eliminated as soon as possible, he can send troops to attack Shouchun directly, and disrupt all Yuan Shao's military deployments in one fell swoop! ”

Ma Chao also thought of this, and said: "This is no better, this will not be more than a hundred days at most, and when Gongsun Chan is destroyed, he can concentrate all his strength to fight to the death with Yuan Shao, and lay the foundation of the great cause in one fell swoop!" ”

"May I drive the Lord!" The civil and military officials present expressed their stance in unison.

Ma Chao made up his mind after arranging the personnel deployment of Sanzhou, and at this stage, all the talents under his command have basically been used on the blade. Jingzhou has Zhang Liao, Fa Zheng and Pang De, Xu Shu combination, Yanzhou has Huang Zhong, Guo Jia combination, Xuzhou and Xu Huang, Wen Ping, Xun You combination, such a gorgeous lineup is also the top combination of the times, the military strength in the hands is no worse than Yuan Shao, if it fails, it will be too unreasonable.

Seeing that Ma Chao was determined to personally conquest Gongsun Zhan, he frowned and said: "Lord Qiqi, I think that Gongsun Zhan is very likely to collude with Wuheng Wang Qiu Liju, Bang Dun and others, otherwise how dare he ignore the 100,000 soldiers of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu?" ”

Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "Five years ago, Ben General sent Pang De, Fa Zheng and others to join the Southern Hun cavalry to conquer Wuheng, and with the skill of riding and archery, it was impossible for them to recover their vitality in just five years. Since they still dare to violate my big man without their own strength, I will clean them up this time! ”

Huang Zhong, the lord of Wuchao, heard the words and asked: "The lord will definitely be able to return triumphantly from the expedition to Youzhou, but I don't know how many men and horses the lord plans to lead?" ”

Ma Chao smiled slightly, and said disdainfully: "What is the righteousness of the mere Gongsun Zan and Wu Heng Yuxi?" Ben only needs to lead General Zilong and his five thousand heavy armored cavalry! In addition, Qin Yi and Du Yi are two and follow the general, it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, and there will be two people to preside over the affairs of Youzhou in the future, and the general can also rest assured!
