However, Liangzhou is also located in a bitter cold place, and there is a lack of communication with the outside world. Especially about Jiaozhou...

--------------------------------

In the first year of Jian'an, Ma Teng, the general of the western expedition, served as the assassin of Liangzhou. Hearing that Jiaozhou was coming, he hurriedly convened his advisers and generals to discuss. Considering the difference of enemies, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai and other young generals are also listed.

"Hey, hey... I've long heard of the name at the top of the list of generals, so it's time to give him a try! Ma Chao sat at the end of the seat, talking to Pang De and Ma Dai. Xu is personality is dictatory, and although his voice is lowered, his words still come out clearly.

"Meng Qi! Don't mess around! Ma Teng snorted, picked up a few pieces of sheepskin from the table, frowned, and said: "This Wang Yifan can stand side by side with Lu Bu, and he is definitely not a person." Not... Ladies and gentlemen, you may wish to share your views. ”

After a moment of smoking, the person who was in the first place on Ma Teng's left suddenly got up, did not salute Ma Teng, and directly took out a scroll, spread it on the floor in the hall and said: "Brother, as far as I know, this Jiaozhou shepherd has demon skills, and he has performed it in the Wa Kingdom, Youzhou, Cangwu and other places, sweeping away the Wa Kingdom, defeating Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu and others, which should not be underestimated. ”

"Hex?" Everyone present looked at each other, especially Ma Chao and Pang De, who almost laughed out loud, and opened their mouths to say: "Uncle, then Jiaozhou Mu shouldn't be the remnant of the Yellow Turban, haha..."

Han Sui shook his head, took out two pieces of cloth from his arms again, and handed them to Ma Teng, "Brother, the two strange things recorded on this cloth were heard from the mouth of the Central Plains horse dealer and recorded it himself. It is a well-known thing in the Central Plains and other places, so brother may wish to take a look. ”

"Oh?" Ma Teng was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head to look. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Sui, "Brother Xian, this matter... Is it true? ”

Han Sui nodded, his face solemn: "Well, brother, do you remember the Qiang caravan you encountered not long ago?" ”

"Hmm..."

"One of those people is a familiar businessman in Jiaozhou. According to him, all the gentlemen and generals in Jiaozhou will be wonderful... Black art! ”

"Snort..."Ma Chao interjected impatiently: "Uncle, how can there be so many witchcraft in this world. In my opinion, most of them are a trick! ”

"Presumptuous!" Ma Teng was about to reprimand, but Han Sui waved his hand.

He was not in a hurry, the expression on his face was much lighter, and he approached Ma Chao and asked, "Meng Qi, with your riding skills, how many days will you ride from Liangzhou to Jiaozhou." ”

What is the problem...

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, looked left and right, and said honestly: "Uncle, this... How should this be calculated, the little nephew has never been to Jiaozhou. ”

Han Sui said: "Oh? Hehe... Then Uncle changed the question. Let's just say that you go from Wuwei to Jincheng, with your riding skills, with the footsteps of our Liangzhou horses, how long will it take? ”

"Jincheng..."Ma Chao thought for a while and blurted out: "Four hours at the earliest!" ”

"Four hours..."Han Sui repeated, regardless of whether he had reduced it or not, and replied to Ma Teng: "Brother, Meng Qi's speed is already the limit of our martial artists, but the general of Jiaozhou only needs an hour, or even less!" ”

"Impossible!" Ma Chao stood up in surprise, his face seemed to have three big words written on his face, "I don't believe it", and retorted: "Uncle, from Wuwei to Jincheng in one hour? You're not joking..."

Looking around, seeing that the expressions in his eyes were mostly the same, Han Sui didn't argue much, simply returned to his seat, and said: "Brother, everything that should be said has been said, as for how to deal with it, it's up to you." ”

Hearing this, Ma Teng patted the armrest, "Meng Qi, don't apologize to your uncle yet!" ”

"Uh..." Ma Chao was stunned, and he always said something he had to say. Since childhood, I have also developed the skill of "quickly admitting mistakes", as long as it is not a matter of principle, what is it difficult to apologize. He looked at his father's face, held the untouched wine glass on Pound's table, walked up to Han Sui and said, "Hehe... Uncle, the little nephew just said inappropriately, please don't blame the offense! ”

Han Sui pointed at him angrily, happily took the wine, drank it all and said: "Meng Qi, this Jiaozhou army still has to rely on you and Ling Ming, but don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao said hesitantly: "How can I rely on Ling Ming alone, at least Yan Ming and Bo Zhan... Ah, and all the uncles are contributing. ”

"Hey... You kid..."

Without waiting for Han Sui to finish laughing and scolding, a small school suddenly rushed into the door and reported with an order: "Report!" Lord, Longxi urgent! ”

"Huh?" Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other, and they both saw two words in each other's eyes, "So fast!" ”

Ma Teng said: "Read! ”

However, before the school started, a person rushed in outside the door again, covered in blood and said: "Report!" Lord, Wu... Wudu is lost! Hou Xuan, Yang Qiu, two generals... Die! ”

"What?" Hearing this report, Rao was accustomed to seeing life and death Ma Teng, and couldn't help but get up and stare at him. His eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't wait for everyone to discuss, so he immediately stretched out his hand and said urgently: "Where are the generals?" ”

"The last general!"

"You wait to order troops immediately, go to Hanyang with a certain person, and stop the barbarian thieves!"

"Yes!"

November 196 A.D.

Wang Yifan greeted Pang Tong, who was only eighteen years old, as the governor of Yizhou, acting as the governor of Yizhou, with Jingzhou in the east and Sili in the north. He also sent Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to the north along the coast to contain the Central Plains. He himself led the four armies, the four generals, and Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, and Fu Yu to garrison the military capital.

It is said that it has been nearly a month since he captured Wudu, but he has not gone north for a long time. The reason is not that he doesn't want to continue, but that he finds that if he continues like this, sooner or later he will cause civil strife in the territory due to lack of manpower. Therefore, he is planning to use the "wave flow" in the game of the future to sweep Ma Teng and eliminate hidden dangers.

On 3 November, Wang Yifan's troops came to Hanyang, and forced Ma Teng to fight in person with the two skills of "provocation" and "scolding" that he practiced temporarily, and successfully captured him alive.

Subsequently, he respected Jia Xu's advice and implemented a "counter-intermediate" strategy, ostensibly letting Ma Teng return and withdrawing his troops from Yizhou. Secretly, the news was spread everywhere, saying: "I have made an alliance with Ma Teng, and in a few days I will attack Si Li, take Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, and discuss Cao Cao together." ”

This plan is blatant and is for the sake of impotence.

It can be said that most of the strategists with some intelligence can see this plan. However, it is the eyes of the world that gamble. Especially those who are as suspicious as Cao Cao.
