"Tell me? What do you mean by that? ”

"You need the opportunity, the world seems to be unified, but in fact it is still chaotic, the Liu family and the foreign surname still have to eat people's hearts, otherwise how can they swallow the world, now half of the hearts of the people in Northern Xinjiang are in Xu, how can you be tolerated?"

"Who will let me go? Say the name. ”

Xu Zhen looked at Jia Xu seriously, the people in the main hall are all confidants, there are not many people, you can talk about it at will.

Everyone knows that who can't tolerate him, and Xu Zhen has always been frank every day, never hiding secret words, and if the martial arts under his hand can't even say his name freely.

If there really is such a day, there will be no fighting.

At this time, in the hall, he can be called a confidant, with Jia Xu as the leader on the left, and Yang Xiu, Cui Lin, Ma Liang, and Chen Deng on the side.

The right is headed by Zhuge Liang, and there are Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Zhou Budo.

Among the generals, only Xu Chu and Dian Wei stood behind Xu Zhen, and the rest led the troops in the military camp and did not call for discussion.

Jia Xu looked around, smacked his mouth a few times, and called only a few people in such a situation......

There's too much in the world, okay, it's estimated that it's only half there?

Like that other family, it is estimated that he will never let him get involved in such topics, and of course, he himself will never want to know about this kind of thing.

"Cao, Cao."

Jia Xu arched his hand and said quickly helplessly.

"Heh," Xu Zhen chuckled, his expression was not too cold, but he was still quite freehand, and turned to Zhuge Liang and said: "You can think of it, so many capable people can think of it." ”

"Don't forget, even if Brother Wenruo goes to Yecheng in Jizhou, there are still Brother Zhicai, Chen Lin, Zixuan, Hua Ziyu, Zhong Xuan, Fu Yi and others in Xudu."

"Kong Ming, do you think they are also mediocre?"

"Of course not," Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, then smiled brightly again, and said: "Then, it can only be that Ma Teng is hiding deeply, and there are more profound meanings in this move, which are difficult for outsiders to know." ”

"However, the current situation will definitely change because of this, and this must be true."

"Yes, this is true," Xu Zhen nodded solemnly, "They can also see it, but Ma Teng still did not hesitate, indicating that he was not all for this matter." ”

"What is Ma Teng for?"

Xu Zhen quoted this remark, which made people think deeply, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu glanced at each other, of course, they can't be deduced according to common sense, it is definitely not so simple.

"I can't guess."

Jia Xu shook his head.

At this time, he really couldn't really guess that no matter how intelligent and knowledgeable a person was, he couldn't read the minds of others at any time.

"If the horse goes, let him go...... Over time, we will be able to see the results and know what he is really trying to do. ”

Jia Xu muttered a few times, because no one could guess that since he chose to go to Xudu alone, he must have his own considerations.

Xu Zhen nodded silently, "There is no need to remind you of this matter." ”

After speaking, he laughed, "I believe Ziyu, I can naturally deal with it, but no matter what the final result is, instead of worrying about Xu Duzhi's safety all the time, it is better to focus on strengthening myself." ”

"That's right!"

Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and others immediately knew what he meant, Youzhou and Bingzhou are strong, and then they can take Liangzhou and defeat Ma Chao's soldiers and horses, which is the most important thing.

At this point, the two stood up and bowed at the same time.

"Go ahead, inform Zilong and Zhongkang of this matter, and order Wen Yuan and Han Sheng to advance the soldiers and horses for thirty miles, and first pull out the lonely city and camp that Ma Chao occupied before."

"Then come back for the New Year, this year you can stand still, I expect that before Ma Teng arrives in Xudu, Ma Chao will definitely not dare to fight us, this is the best opportunity."

"Take advantage of this opportunity, occupy more territory, take the lead and seize the opportunity, and don't let go of this opportunity."

"Whoa!"

……

Xu Zhenjun gave an order, flew from Zhuojun to Bingzhou in one day, conveyed this order to Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, and led the army to help Zhao Yun.

In the next few days, Zhao Yun led the army to fight day and night, pushed the camp to more than 60 miles, and found that Ma Chao did not have many heavy troops to guard at Hangu Pass, so he continued to advance the battle and forced Ma Chao to come to the decisive battle, but the Xiliang soldiers retreated again and again, even after Tongguan.

It can be said that this time it was a complete victory, showing the military might of the Xu clan, gaining a lot, completely firmly on the border of Yongzhou, forcing Ma Chao to retreat all the soldiers and horses to Xiliang.

At the same time, the troops were deployed downward to guard against Zhang Lu's soldiers and horses in Hanzhong County.

Over the years, Liangzhou and Hanzhong have been occupied by Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhang Lu respectively, and have been operating for too many years.

And if the hearts of the people are not broken, there are many obstacles to the siege, of course, it is not so easy.

At this moment, Ma Teng arrived at Xudu.

In person with the Son of Heaven, he delivered a report on the harvest of the Yongliang Land over the years, and handed over the general register of the population, and at the same time submitted a list of officials from all over the country.

accepted the reward, thought it was a liege, and was named a general.

Famous in the family of scholars, for three consecutive days, they were feasting hundreds of officials, visiting the strategists of the year, and gathering old acquaintances with sincerity.

It seems that the scenery is infinite, showing off its might.

Let the demeanor of the great princes of Xiliang set off a temporary style in Xudu, but in fact, there are also school affairs and many officials loyal to the Cao family, who are secretly paying attention to Ma Teng's words and deeds.

seems to be show-off, but in fact, there are some doorways.

In the mansion of the general of the five senses, Cao Ang was looking at the book of the Zhijing to understand the current situation in Liangzhou, but he didn't get a lot, because the book sent by Ma Teng was actually not so detailed.

He also wrote a lot of sentences that avoided the important and trivialized, and some detailed political statements and strategies were actually not mentioned at all, and the places where the troops were stationed and the densely populated areas marked were actually the general situation of ten years ago.

These, ordinary people can't see, because a lot of praise is written, and at the same time, the actual territorial layout is basically hidden.

Cao Ang also watched it all night, looking at it with a questioning attitude, and finally found the clue, and then dug deeper and deeper, so that he could be sure that Ma Teng came to Xu Du and did not surrender.

At that time, this edict was indeed the result of the deliberation of the ministers, and it was convenient for Brother Bowen to try to recruit him with an edict to see if the general after the Han Zhongliang family would be willing to belong to the Son of Heaven.

The response he got was also that Ma Teng was willing to come, which made many officials in Xudu feel surprised.

During the period when the prime minister went to the south and separated from Jiangdong, he was able to use the edict of the Son of Heaven to force Ma Teng to come to Xudu, whether he was sincerely attached or here as a hostage, he could make Ma Chao throw a mouse trap and dare not disobey.

At the same time, the war report also came from Bingzhou these days, and it was quickly sent to Cao Ang's table, when he saw the news of Xu's successive victories.

It is even more firm in his thoughts.

"Great victory, Brother Bowen won a big victory in Yongzhou, beat Ma Chao back to Xiliang, and after retreating to Tongguan, the Hangu Pass he occupied before also retreated, after this road is recaptured, it can be continuously garrisoned to guard against Xiliang and Hanzhong."

"This kind of big victory is rare in the world, this is the record of Brother Bowen's big victory!"

"What do you think, sir?"

"Down, uh...... I don't know much about chariots and rides, but it should be that this edict has played a role, "In front of Cao Ang, there was a person wearing a robe, his face was slightly restrained, and he bent his body to show his sincerity and fear.

With a slightly wry smile on his face, he was still very young, his beard was on both sides of his lips, his chin was only a small pinches, and from time to time there would be a sharp color in his eyebrows.

Don't look at him smiling, but this kind of temperament often appears majestic, and his expression gives people a slightly fierce feeling.

This person is Sima Yi.

His legs had basically recovered, and now he was occasionally invited into the mansion of the Fifth Senses Zhonglang General to discuss some important matters with Cao Ang.

However, this was Cao Ang's request after he found out that Sima Yi and his younger brother Cao Pi had had a lot of exchanges.

After all, from the beginning, he didn't notice this person, this Sima Yi was not a person who shocked Xu Du, but just a famous family.

And the Cao family because Cao Cao was recommended by Sima Fang, so he deliberately took care of it, and there were also in-laws to come and go, which made the Sima family invisibly quite prominent.

However, Sima Yi always has reservations about himself and can't help it.

Many times he was reluctant to appeal to real thoughts, but Cao Ang still liked to ask, but he never revealed his true intentions, and did not express his meaning to Sima Yi.

"Because of the edict of the Son of Heaven, the Ma family can be contained, Ma Teng is loyal and good, and he was deeply favored by the Han family, so he did not dare to take the initiative to fight with the chariots, he could only be bullied, and he dared to advance the camp without the will of the Son of Heaven over the years."

"Now that an edict has been issued, he will never dare to act rashly."

"Therefore, he can win a big victory, and his father Ma Teng, who is now sealed in Xudu, will definitely be able to receive this news, maybe he will play the Son of Heaven in the near future, please send an edict to let the car ride no longer enter."

"Childe doesn't have to worry."

Sima Yi's face was inconvenient, and he said lightly, as if he didn't notice the deep meaning at all, and as if in his opinion, this matter was as simple and easy as it seemed.

But Cao Ang didn't think so at all, so he looked at him deeply.

"Zhongda," Cao Ang chuckled, got up from the collapse, slowly walked in front of Sima Yi, held his arm with one hand, helped him up, and said with a smile: "I let you enter the mansion of the Zhonglang General of the Five Senses, not to listen to these unclear words, but to ask you to plan something big for me." ”

"Ma Teng entered Xudu, is it just to meet the Son of Heaven?"

"Do you think he is really willing to surrender to my Cao clan, and he will have no two hearts in the future?"

Sima Yi was slightly sweaty on his forehead, looked at him left and right in fear, and said honestly: "General Zhonglang...... In the following, I really think so, maybe, some deep meaning is not known. ”

"No, it is rumored that you are knowledgeable and have a unique vision, how can you not see that Ma Teng intends to enter Xu Du, and he must have a plan?"

"You mean, don't you want to talk to me more? Just want to be perfunctory? ”

"It's not!"

Sima Yi immediately crawled on the ground again, like a frightened bird, "I will never dare to perfunctory Zhonglang General, Ma Teng into Xu Du must be a good thing!" ”

"On the one hand, it can deter the princes and let people know that Xiliang is attached, on the other hand, there are hostages in Xu Du, Ma Chao does not dare to act rashly!"

"So no matter what, General Zhonglang can't kill Ma Teng, but also treat him with courtesy, during the Prime Minister's southern expedition, treat Ma Teng as an uncle, so as to win fame!"

"At the same time, it can also stabilize the rear of Xudu! Stabilize the Xiliang Iron Ride! Win a solid head start for the prime minister's southern expedition! ”

"In the next brave offering, please Zhonglang will take the lead in speaking tomorrow, for Ma Teng to the Son of Heaven to order the edict, order the car to ride no longer into Liangzhou, with Tongguan as the boundary."

"At the same time, he gave him a generous gift, and set up a banquet to entertain him, personally took Ma Teng to meet the famous man of Xudu, invited him with the gift of his uncle, and left him in Xudu."

"Good strategy."

Cao Ang suddenly took a deep breath and his expression calmed down.

is no longer as impetuous as at the beginning, originally he also had the same idea as Sima Yi said, but it was just a prototype of a model lake, in fact, he was not completely sure that he wanted to treat it like this.

But after all, there was a counselor around him who said this, which made him feel more stable, and naturally followed his words and judged it accordingly.

"General Zhonglang, if Ma Teng dies in Xudu, think about what will happen to Xiliang, so you can know why he dares to come."

"Of course, the chariot cavalry is not afraid of the Xiliang soldiers, but if a big war breaks out at this time, it will definitely have an impact on the situation of the southern expedition, and it will be inconvenient for the situation."

"Not bad."

Cao Ang narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, Sima Yi was not much different from what he thought, Ma Teng must not die in Xu Du.

Otherwise, the situation will definitely be chaotic, and his death will involve something else, although I don't know how many hidden dangers there are in the secret.

But Cao Ang could vaguely feel that it must be a disaster.

At the moment, he had a very ominous premonition.

"According to your plan, I will ask for an edict tomorrow."

Cao Ang smiled at Sima Yi, and a relaxed smile appeared on his serious face, which made his pressure relax a lot.

Call......

Sima Yi wiped his sweat, and when he looked at the ground, he condensed for a long time, and he was also stunned for a while, and then he cheered up and raised his head.

……

Day 2.

Xudu Palace, above the palace.

"Yes, the minister believes that an edict should be issued immediately, ordering the general Xu Zhen to take Tongguan as the boundary, guard the land of the annexed state, and support the people, and not fight."

Cao Ang sat in the position where Cao Cao was at the beginning, acting as the prime minister, accurately stating the current situation, and clearly stating that Xiliang could no longer be allowed to fight.

It should be turned into a jade silk, and the state and Liangzhou are now the territory of the Han Dynasty, and all of them are the people of the Han Dynasty.

"Exactly."

Liu Xie was already accustomed to hearing these words on the couch of the Son of Heaven, so whatever Cao Ang said, he would naturally agree and play accurately.

However, Ma Teng, who was on the side of the courtiers below, was listening to the discussion as a prince and a general, but it was very strange that this Cao Zixuan was ......

How do you know I'm going to ask for this edict?!

At least to curb Xu Bowen's attack with his troops, otherwise with his current style of play, he would like to kill directly in Jiuquan.

This, I'm afraid it's not a favor for me?!

Could it be that he is courting me?!

Ma Teng secretly rejoiced, touched his chin for a while, and was more determined and down-to-earth about the original plan in his heart, if so, he would definitely be able to succeed!
