Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 228 The Expected Ambush

"Mingjin, stop attacking!"

Just when Ma Chao turned his horse's head, ready to take his soldiers and horses to confront the halberd warrior who had just appeared.

A sound of gold came directly into his ears, so that Ma Chao had to restrain his war horse.

Although there was inevitably some anger in his heart, it was Liu Xie's order, and Ma Chao didn't say much.

"Dong Chong, stationed at the foot of the mountain with soldiers and horses, once that halberd warrior dares to continue to attack... Attack now! ”

"No!"

As Ma Chao's deputy general and brother-in-law, Dong Chong certainly knows what he should do.

Ma Chao rode his horse towards the hill, he wanted to meet Liu Xie again, and on the other side, Dong Chong asked all the soldiers not to get off the horse, and at the same time continued to gallop back and forth around the hill.

First, to ensure the speed and impact of the war horse, it is convenient to come forward and fight the halberd at any time, and second, to patrol the surroundings to prevent any danger from suddenly coming.

"The last general will see Your Majesty, I don't know...

"Come on, look over there!" Liu Xie directly interrupted Ma Chao, who wanted to ask, and then stretched out his hand and pointed in another direction.

Soon, following Liu Xie's arm, Ma Chao saw a dusty scene in both the southeast and northeast directions.

And this scene can only show one thing, that is, there are soldiers and horses...

"It may be ... Maybe it's that Cao Mengde is bluffing... ”

Of course, Ma Chao knew that it was the soldiers and horses under Cao Mengde who were ambushing them now, and this Hou Chengnai was Lu Bu's former general.

In the end, after Lu Bu was deceived by Liu Xieyu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others surrendered to Cao Mengde's men.

It's no secret.

And the Euphorbia has always been led by Zhang He, a general under Yuan Shao's command, and he should have stormed the camp of the Cao army in the Battle of Guandu.

The result was that Cao Hong, who was stationed in the camp, surrendered directly...

Now that Hou Cheng and Euphorbia have appeared at the same time, if it weren't for Cao Mengde, it would really be a hell!

And Ma Chao still has some illusions at this time.

"Although Cao Mengde has defeated Yuan Benchu now, he has not really taken this land of Hebei, if he forcibly fights with us at this time.

Wouldn't that just fall into the plan of the third son of the Yuan family?

Not only did he lose the hope of the court, but he also ... ”

"It can also make him Cao Mengde obey Yuan Jiazi's wishes, and let go of the land of Hebei to give the three of them a chance to breathe?"

Liu Xie couldn't help but chuckle directly, interrupted Ma Chao's words by the way, and then sat directly on the ground without speaking.

also patted his side and motioned for Na Ma Chao to sit down as well.

"Your Majesty...

At this time, of course, Ma Chao was not in the mood to sit next to Liu Xie, and he stood in front of Liu Xie again.

But this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Liu Xie raise his palm, and then directly interrupted his next words.

"What Meng Qi wants to say, I actually know!"

"Since Your Majesty knows, why this time..."

"Because this time, Cao Mengde will definitely do his best to fight with us!" Liu Xie looked at the halberd warriors who had begun to line up below, and then looked at Dong Chong, who had also begun to gather soldiers and horses.

There was already a slight flicker in his eyes.

"Cao Mengde needs to fight with us for this time, because only after this fight can he completely reassure the third son of the Yuan family in Hebei.

Yuan Tan wanted to unite Cao Mengde, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi got together, united the two states of Jiyou, and even began to prepare to attack Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.

It's been months since these things happened, but why haven't they fought now? ”

“。。。。。”

"Because they're not stupid! They knew very well that they wanted to seize the entire Yuan Shao's hometown, and then regather their soldiers and horses to fight Cao Mengde to the end, and finally seize the world.

Of course, they can fight inwardly, as the so-called outside must first settle inside... This kind of thing, this kind of thinking is understandable!

But they are not stupid, they will not watch Cao Mengde salivate over this Hebei land, they are still fighting like this, giving Cao Mengde a chance in vain.

This is just nonsense!

So they won't really fight each other, they're all waiting, waiting for an opportunity that Cao Mengde won't do anything with them.

And this opportunity, Cao Mengde is also waiting, he wants to find a suitable opponent, a suitable time.

He wants to make outsiders look like he's doing his best, but in fact it's an opportunity to get out at any time.

He wants to deceive the three sons of the Yuan family in the land of Hebei, let them fight each other constantly, and finally let him find an opportunity to rush directly into the land of Hebei... ”

After Liu Xie said this, he also looked directly at Ma Chao in front of him, and then looked at the two ambush soldiers who had already revealed their banners and teams.

"Do you see that?"

“。。。。”

When Ma Chao followed Liu Xie's gaze again, the two soldiers and horses who rushed over also showed their banners at the same time.

"High"

"Han"

Looking at these two unfamiliar flags, Ma Chao's brows couldn't help frowning a little, and for a while he couldn't remember that there were two teams under the command of Cao Jun who were so bannered...

"High... There are many generals under Cao Mengde, all of whom are surnamed Gao.

It's just that this team seems to have at least three or five thousand people, so many soldiers and horses... Take a look at it.

At that time, he was also a famous Hebei general on the same level as Zhang He, and he was extremely brave, and it is said that he and Xu Chu could fight head-to-head.

After that, he surrendered with Zhang He in the Battle of Guandu.

If it were him, it would be reasonable. ”

"Gao Guan... The general who betrays the lord should be killed! Ma Chao snorted coldly at this time, "That Han... There are a lot of soldiers and horses who look at Gao Yan. ”

"There are not many people with the surname Han, and the only general surnamed Han under Cao Mengde who can be reused by him is Han Hao.

Back then, Xiahoudun was kidnapped by the rebels under Lu Bu, but fortunately, this guy still had some brains, and he suppressed the chaotic army and his own army at the critical moment.

Only then did Xiahoudun be saved.

Since then, he has been reused by Cao Mengde and is regarded as a rising star in Cao Jun.

He also followed Yuan Shu back then, and he was also liked by Yuan Shu, but he didn't look down on the other party.

It's a talent... Still young. ”

At this time, Liu Xie had already shown a strong ability, especially his understanding of Cao Jun, which was quite good.

Let the horse on the side raise his eyebrows frequently, perhaps because he didn't expect that His Majesty still had this ability.

"It seems ... That Cao Mengde is calculating His Majesty, and I think His Majesty is also calculating that Cao Mengde. ”

"It's not a calculation, but I know that there must be a battle between us, of course we have to prepare one or two."
