The Yellow River in Puyang will not be completely frozen in winter, but the turbulent water will carry huge ice blocks from the upstream rushing down, although it will not cut off the river transportation, but the danger of navigation has increased exponentially, and large-scale transportation can not be carried out, so during this time, Baima, Yanjin and other ferries have been used to the extreme, and the ships are like shuttles, and the back and forth are non-stop.

Wang Yu did not intend to compete with the displaced people for the ferry, so he chose the route of crossing the river from Cangtingjin after traveling two hundred miles to the east, and after joining Xu Huangbu.

There was nothing wrong all the way, and the most striking thing was the two BMWs.

Needless to say, Dong Zhuo's thousands of selected divine horses have become more and more famous with Lu Bu's conquest of the Quartet. Seeing Lu Qiling's heroic appearance riding a BMW, Wei Yan was so envious that he almost drooled.

BMW has always been hard to find, although Wei Yan is a general in Qingzhou, and the war horse is also one in a hundred, but compared with the level of Chitu, it is much worse.

Throughout the army, there are only two war horses that can compete with Chitu, Wang Yu's black horse and Zhao Yun's snow.

All three horses are fine horses without a single stray hair on their bodies, and the only difference is color. Zhao Yun's snow treading doesn't know if he was influenced by the master, showing a humble and courteous attitude, while Wu Qi and Chitu are completely opposite, they are both the eldest of the heavens, my second child, and they have stolen the limelight from each other along the way.

Soaring speed is a common thing, Wang Yu and Lu Qiling are a little careless, these two BMWs will jump out by themselves, the speed is of course galloping, while competing, they are also roaring loudly.

Before being trained as a war horse. They are kings of horses, even now. still has the momentum of intimidating the horses back then. Shocked by these two guys, the cavalrymen's horses would break down from time to time. Lying on the ground obediently, his ears drooping, trembling all over, no matter how much the master pulled, he couldn't move.

The delay on the road was largely due to these two horses.

"It's really strange, Brother Zilong, you said that Wu Hu is usually quite angry, but he has never been so scared as today. Why is it so powerful today? Could it be Chitu's ability? Wei Yan's envious eyes almost condensed into substance, and while patrolling back and forth on the two BMWs, his mouth was also slurking.

"It shouldn't be ......" Zhao Yun replied in an uncertain tone: "It may be the result of the competition between the two powers, right?" ”

"There are no two tigers in the mountains, and they are fighting for the king of horses." Zhang Liao gave the answer with certainty.

"King of Horses?"

"Yes, in the past, in the army, these two divine horses were their respective horse kings, and now that they are together, they naturally want to compete. Ordinary war horses usually don't have to behave too much, but now the two are competing for the king. They had to be humble, better than being misunderstood by the King of Horses. Of course, there are also a few stubborn ones, knowing that they are inferior to others. still insisted on standing, but it was only a breath of injustice in his chest, and in the end it was just in vain. ”

Wei Yan sniffled. Puzzled, he asked, "...... Brother Wen Yuan, what you said is a bit bit. Hmm, that means a lot? ”

"Is there one?" Zhang Liao asked with a smile. There was no more heaviness in the tone.

"It feels like you mean something, comparing the pattern of the Central Plains?" Wei Yanhu said suspiciously: "But you said that the two horse kings, it seems that no one can compare with my lord now?" Cao Cao's new defeat, Yuan Shu was subdued, although Sun Ce had some courage, but in a corner, he couldn't become any climate, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and the like were just dry bones in the grave, not worth mentioning. ”

"So, it's Wen Chang that you are too careful." Zhang Liao is a more stable person, where would he openly talk about such a sensitive issue, he was perfunctory, and he wanted to bring the topic over.

As a result, Wei Yan was fooled by him, but Zhuge Liang suddenly interjected and asked, "What does General Wenyuan think about the battle situation in Guanzhong?" ”

"This ......," Zhang Liao hesitated slightly. Wei Yan is right, what he said just now was indeed a feeling, but he didn't expect that the speaker had no intention, the listener had a heart, and everyone in Qingzhou was more alert than the other.

"Take advantage of his illness and kill him!"

Wei Yan shouted without hesitation: "Cao Cao has been hit hard by this, there is nothing he can do, our army should take the opportunity to advance westward, even if it can't eliminate this scourge in one fell swoop, it is better to let him collapse." It's a pity that General Lu ...... Ahem, in fact, even if we don't borrow Daodong County, our army can attack from Hanoi and Peiguo. ”

Zhuge Liang ignored him, only staring at Zhang Liao, and refused to give up without getting an answer. Zhang Liao had no choice but to reply softly: "Cao Cao's use of troops is full of wit and should not be underestimated, although it is not sure what his back hand is, but it is certain that the defeat of Xiahou Yuan will not make him break his muscles and bones, and his strategic focus is still in the west, not in the east." ”

"Oh?" Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and found that Zhuge Liang had a mysterious smile with a strong sense of approval, while Zhao Yun was also pensive, as if he had received some enlightenment. He was stunned for a moment, then he was anxious and blurted out, "What does this mean?" ”

"If you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Liang has also weighed this matter for a long time, and finally there is a gain, but I don't want General Wenyuan to expect it." ”

"Kong Ming has already gained?" Zhang Liao was taken aback, he was just judging from Cao Cao's scheming style, but listening to Zhuge Liang's meaning, it seemed that he already had a clear direction.

"Although the lord usually behaves casually and likes to take risks, he rarely plays with children when it comes to major events. If Cao Cao had the intention of turning eastward, he would not have made such an arrangement as he is now. After all, there is still General Gongsun in Northern Xinjiang, and if things make a big fuss, the Montenegrin Army may not stand idly by, and it will still be able to win it out in a year or two......"

Looking at the two figures who had run away from the dust all the way and had run so far that they couldn't see their shadows, Zhuge Liang said meaningfully: "How resolute the lord was in Xuzhou before, could he turn a blind eye to Cao Cao's threat?" Brother Wen has proposed many times that the west should be followed by the north, why does he always refuse to agree? ”

"Based on this alone, there is enough reason to wonder if the lord has already thought about it. These days, when discussing matters, people often mention Yuan Shu, and Liang is suddenly surprised. ”

Wei Yan was confused when he heard this, and he couldn't care about Zhuge Liang for a while, and asked in amazement: "Yuan Shu?" He also participated in the Battle of Nanyang? ”

"Not really. It's just Cao Cao's plan, which has a lot to do with him. Do you still remember the experience of the lord before and after the battle of the Yang people? ”

Zhang Liao frowned, as if he understood: "Kong Ming means ......"

Because it happened right at home, Jing Xiangshilin was very concerned about this battle and made a lot of predictions before the war. At that time, Pang Degong once said: Even if the lord wins this battle, it is difficult to expand the results, and if he loses, he will soon be able to regroup. Sure enough, after the battle of the Yangren, Yuan Shu was afraid of boosting the prestige of the lord, and he made a move on the supply of grain and grass, if it wasn't for the agreement between the lord and Xu Rong, he was able to calmly gather the soldiers and horses after the war and continue to confront each other, and the outcome may be unpredictable. ”

Zhuge Liang's explanation was still not straightforward enough, but the other three were very shrewd, and they knew the meaning of elegance when they heard the string song, and they immediately understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

"Do you mean that Cao Cao deliberately lost in order to avoid his allies from waiting and forcing them to make a choice?" Zhang Liao nodded, and shook his head again: "It makes sense, but how can he guarantee that his allies will retreat without fear?" What's more, the ally who can pose a threat to Dong Zhuo will be ......"

"Xiliang Ma Teng!" Wei Yanhu's body was shocked, and he shouted: "No wonder the lord took the map of the Guanzhong area out that day to take a closer look, it turns out that he already knew!" ”

"Marten? Xiliang rebels? When did they form an alliance with Cao Cao? Everyone else showed a look of surprise, only Zhang Liao was full of suspicion: "Could it be that they came to marry last time, just to secretly ally with Cao Cao?" ”

There was no need to answer, the next moment, Zhang Liao himself gave the answer: "I see." If Ma Teng wants to enter the Central Plains, he must eliminate Dong Zhuo's obstacles, and he is caught in the middle of the attack with Cao Cao, and the situation is extremely favorable. He must have left someone in the Guanzhong area, paying close attention to the battle situation. For the Xiliang rebels, the defeat of both the allies and the enemy is the best result, and the second is that the allies contain the enemy's main force with their own defeats......"

Zhuge Liang continued: "Although there has been no return yet, the lord has ordered the Guanzhong Intelligence Network to pay close attention to this matter, and there will definitely be news soon." ”

Zhang Liao nodded silently, understanding why Wang Yu not only vigorously supported Dongjun, but also desperately absorbed the displaced people, which was a bit of a meaning to build a strong wall and clear the wilderness in Yanzhou.

In the short term, Cao Cao will not attack, he will pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Waiting for Ma Teng to raise troops to fight fiercely with Dong Zhuo, and when both sides are defeated, they will launch a surprise attack and conquer Chang'an in one fell swoop, this is Cao Cao's strategy.

If Qingzhou launches a full-scale attack on Cao Cao now, he will definitely resort to scorched earth tactics, and wait for the supply line of the Qingzhou army to reach the extreme, and then try to counterattack. Anyway, with Ma Teng's containment, he was not worried that Dong Zhuo would chase after him, but he could use the threat of the Qingzhou Army to confuse Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, Wei Yan has repeatedly offered suggestions, Wang Yu has always refused to nod, he does not plan to follow the other party's routine, but to wave his army to the north and fight with Cao Cao for speed. Whoever can settle the rear faster will have the upper hand in the future two-power competition.

This is also why Wang Yu will rarely mobilize the army, this is a pure strength competition, without any tricks.

The situation faced by both was complicated, Cao Cao had to deal with Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng successively, and Wang Yu had to maneuver between allies and enemies. Now it seems that Cao Cao chose to plot and deceive his allies and enemies at the same time, in order to get something out of it.

And what about Wang Yu? How will he face the more complex situation in Youzhou?

After answering a question, more mysteries emerged, Zhang Liao fell into deep thought, this seemingly clear battle between the two powers, suddenly, became confusing.
