Northwest Huaili City, Taishou Mansion.

"Father!" After hearing the account of Xu Wu, who escaped death and rushed back to Huaili City to ambush the soldiers and horses, and told him about the fall of Ma Teng, Ma Chao couldn't help but look up and roared, his body shook three times, and almost none of them staggered and fainted to the ground.

Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and others got this bad news, and couldn't help but hug their heads and cry together, the three dignified men in the northwest were crying with tears in their eyes at the moment, which made them helpless and timid, even Pang De, who was waiting on the side, was also sad in his heart, and his bearded face also left a few lines of rolling tears with a few young masters.

After crying for a while, he suddenly saw Ma Chao's brows tightened, gritted his teeth and grabbed Xu Wu, and asked him hoarsely, "Who is it?" Who's the competition?! Who is it that Chen Bing plotted to kill my father in Qingni Pass? o Ah? ”

The muscles on Xu Wu's face shook vigorously, and then suddenly his knees weakened, and he knelt down for Ma Chao with a pop, and said to Ma Chao in a choked voice: "Young Master Qi, according to what the last general saw and heard on the battlefield, the soldiers and horses that ambushed the lord were not separated, but ex... It is Yuan Shang of Hebei! ”

"What? Yuan Shang! How is this possible! Beside Ma Chao, Pang De was stunned, looked at Xu Wu in disbelief, and said: "The old lord went to Yuan's camp this time to return to Shun, and he also ventilated Yuan Shang in advance, how could he send troops to snipe at the old lord?" And what is he doing it for? Xu Wu, are you mistaken? ”

Xu Wu shook his head heavily, and said: "Although the last general is stupid, how dare he talk nonsense in such a big matter, this matter is all watched and heard by the last general from the battlefield, if there is a mistake, the last general should personally cut off his head and sacrifice it under the young master's account!" ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a while when he heard this, then suddenly raised his hand to wipe his tears, and roared angrily, and the fiery roar filled the entire hall.

"Piff, dare to design and murder my father...... Yuan Shang, I must kill your whole family...... This hatred, this hatred, I, Ma Chao, and you don't share it! Let's not die......! ”

Pang De lowered his head, pondered carefully for a while, and then arched his hand and said: "Young master, it's not that I'm suspicious, it's just that this matter is very strange, Yuan Shang ambushed and killed the old master, it didn't do him any good, why he did this is why we don't know, I know that the young master has the anger of Chong, but everything needs to be cautious, if not......."

"Ling Mingxiu wants to persuade me!" Ma Chao raised his hand, blocked Pang De's words, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "At the beginning of Bingzhou, we fought with Yuan Shang and Zhao Yun and others, and we knew that this was dangerous and cunning, and it was secretive, and it was definitely not a good entry, my father wanted to submit to him this time, I already had a bad premonition in my heart, and I didn't want to compete for the murder to come true, if I didn't kill Yuan Shang this time, what face would I have to go to see my father under Jiuquan after I died, and what face would I have to see the ancestors of the Ma family... Passing on my generals, I quickly ordered the generals of all departments to reorganize their troops and horses, and on the one hand prepared to attack Yuan Shang, and on the other hand, I sent an envoy to Cao Ying, and met Cao Cāo, saying that I, Ma, am willing to join forces with him to drive the Hebei army and guard Guanzhong......"

After that, Ma Chao was so angry that he didn't hold it, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, Pang De Ma Tie and the others were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and shouted to the doctor to treat Ma Chao's anger without mentioning it.

Outside Hangu Pass, Cao cāo is a big camp in this town.

Cao Cāoyin had a calm face, sitting on the main seat in the handsome tent, half-kowtowing his eyes, and gently tapping the table with one hand, but the various civil and military forces set up on the left and right below didn't even dare to breathe, just lowered his head and waited for him quietly.

"One moment of joy and one moment of sorrow." It wasn't until after a while that Fang saw Cao Cāo's eyes slowly open, staring at the crowd and martial arts, and said: "The battle of Guanzhong, first my forward camp was designed by Yuan Shang to break through, Cao Hong's troops were defeated and fled, and he died in the forbidden battle, and the situation went down for a while, which really made Gu Xin anxious for a while, and he couldn't wait to give birth to a pair of wings on his back, and flew into the territory of Guanzhong to kill Yuan Shang to avenge this, but who would have thought ......."

Cao Cāo said this, raised his hand and picked up a bamboo slip on the table, shook it gently, and said, "But who would have thought that he would get it in unexpectedly, now."

In the morning, Ma Chao in Huaili actually sent in and sent the alliance book, meaning Yu united with our army to attack Yuan Shang, the Ma clan is strong and strong, and the strength is extremely strong. This is really helping me. ”

At the first place under Cao Cāo, Cheng Yu stepped out of the class and said: "The things that are going to happen are mixed blessings and sorrows, it is difficult to count the hours, and the success or failure of the moment is not enough to affect the overall situation.......

When Cao Cāo heard this, he was also emotional, and nodded and said: "It's O, Wen Ze is a rare good general under Lone's hands, but he doesn't want to fold here, which is really painful for Lonely........"

Cheng Yu nodded, and suddenly said: "It's just that Ming Gong, his subordinates don't understand, Yuan Shang killed Yu Ban, broke Cao Hong, and the momentum is far above us, why did he suddenly take the step of killing Ma Teng?" Isn't this a clear statement that you can't get along with yourself? What does he figure out? ”

Cao Cāo heard that Ha Lu Ha Da Lang smiled, shook his head and said: "Gu and Yuan Shang have been in contact with each other since they met in the Battle of Guandu, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and Lone can be regarded as having a good taste for him, Yuan Shang is cunning and delicate, scheming, and he is a master who refuses to suffer, if he really killed Ma Teng this time, he will not believe it if he killed Lone." ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, his face suddenly changed, he thought for a while, and said, "What Ming Gong means... Yuan Shang this time, is he letting him not enter with Yin? ”

Cao Cāo nodded, and said: "Those who have been counted for a long time will be counted sooner or later, this kid has been in the pit like a dog jumping in the past few years, and he deserves to let him taste the taste of being pitted....... no matter who did it, he is very relieved!" ”

After Cao Cāo finished saying this, he was immediately unanimously approved by the generals of the Cao army, but seeing that some of the ruthless generals led by Xu Chu who had been pitted by Yuan Shangkeng nodded their heads one by one, they were very relieved and clapped their hands in response.

"Ming Gong's words are reasonable, no matter who did it, it is worthy of praise! Good pit! It's so nice to have a pit! Pit the little puppy of the Yuan family to death! ”

Cao Cāo touched his beard, stood up with a smile, and said to Cheng Yu: "See, Yuan Shang, this kid, is usually so bad, so unpleasant!" ”

Cheng Yu also nodded with a smile and said, "Now that Ma Chao is obedient, the momentum of Guanzhong is waiting for us, according to Ming Gong's opinion, how should we deal with Yuan Shang next?" ”

Cao Cāo thought for a moment and said: "According to the original route, the three armies continue to march westward, attack Yuan Shang from the east road, and send a letter to Ma Chao, asking him to advance east from Huaili and attack Yuan Shang from the west. ”

"No——!"

"I'm in the pit! ”

In Yuan Junshuai's tent, Yuan Shang flew up and kicked over the table, looked at Zhu Jin below with some annoyance, and said through gritted teeth: "Which bastard who doesn't have long eyes killed Ma Teng in my name, and also buckled the shit basin on my head?" What happened to Yuan? I jumped into the well with his child! I usually work diligently and conscientiously, but in the end I provoke such a sāo? The world is too dark, and I decided not to do it well in the future! ”

Below Yuan Shang, Sima Yi and Tian Feng glanced at each other, both sighed helplessly, and shrugged their shoulders at each other.

The word good has never seemed to have anything to do with him.

Yuan Shang thought for a while, then shook his hand heavily, and said: "It's useless to think about this, let's deal with the current situation first, now Ma Chao and Cao Cāo are advancing side by side, showing the momentum of attacking our army, these two soldiers and horses are not easy to deal with, how should we deal with it?" ”

Sima Yi coughed lightly and admonished: "According to the current situation, we might as well ask Han Sui to resist Ma Chao for us first, let's turn our heads and contend with Cao Cāo, don't ask Han Sui to win the other party, as long as we can hold off Ma Chao and give us a fight."

i, after breaking Cao Cāo, let's turn our heads to deal with Ma Chao, and the dilemma will naturally be solved. ”

Sima Yi's voice fell, but he saw Tian Feng shook his head and sighed: "This matter, I'm afraid it won't work, long before the news of Ma Teng's death came, the old man had sent to Han Sui's military tent to talk about it, but Han Sui's old fox promised it very well, but in fact, he didn't move, and he didn't know what to do." ”

Yuan Shang frowned, snorted and said: "This old fox, since the first time he took refuge in us, he has the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and wants him to contribute, unless it is like luring Cao Hong to his military camp last time, he will never use a knife or a shot...... If you want to count on him, you can't do it, we have to find a good solution. ”

Sima Yi touched his chin, rolled his eyes, and said: "Cao Cāo, Ma Chao is attacking in two ways, if it is a plain war, we are only afraid that it is definitely not their opponent of the horns, and the top priority is to quickly find a city that can be relied on, sit in it, and then find an opportunity to find out the changes of Cao Ma, and then slowly break it is the best policy!" ”

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "The soldiers and horses that can block Cao Cāo and Ma Chao, and the city that can house our 100,000 troops, I'm afraid, it's not easy to find O, but I can't pick a few in the entire Guanzhong." ”

Sima Yi was happy when he heard this, walked to Pitu with a smile, nodded to a big city above, and said, "The lord looks at this city, do you have to stick to it?" ”

Yuan Shang and Tian Feng were stunned when they heard this, and said, "Chang'an!?" ”

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yuan Shang frowned and said: "Chang'an is an important town in Guanzhong, one of the two capitals, I have always thought that Cao Cāo is the dominant point in Guanzhong, the city defense is strong, and there are heavy guards, I'm afraid it is not so easy to capture, right?" ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "In normal times, we are afraid that it will not be so easy to capture Chang'an, but now that the aunt of the lord is here, I am afraid that it may not be so difficult." ”

Tian Feng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You mean, everyone Cai?" ”
