Pang De said: "In that case, why didn't the young master attack Dong Zhuo first?" The Xiongnu tribe was often plundered by Dong Zhuo, and Yu Fuluo hated Dong Zhuo and would never collude with Dong Zhuo. And as long as the Huns did not agree, the Bai Bo army could not collude with Dong Zhuo. If our army attacks Dong Zhuo, the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry will only watch from the sidelines and will not meddle in their affairs. Our army can be broken one by one, first to defeat Dong Zhuo, and then to defeat the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry. ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "No." Dong Zhuo is still an official army, and if he attacks him, he will give the general an excuse to attack. He will use this as an excuse to prevent me from entering the capital. And if Dong Zhuo can't be severely injured in a battle, Dong Zhuo will be defeated, and he will definitely collude with the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry in anger. This is not good for our army. ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Brother, then I'll just wait!" The Hun cavalry and the Baibo army lacked food and grass, and Dong Zhuozhi's troops also relied on raiding the Xiongnu tribes to maintain supplies. It's winter again, and there's very little food. As long as it takes another half a month, whether it is the Baibo army, Dong Zhuo's troops, or the Hun cavalry, they will definitely run out of food, and our army will win without a fight! ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "I can't wait that long, it's a big matter to enter Beijing, and we must solve it quickly." ”

Lu Yi said: "Since Dong Zhuo sees our army attacking the Baibo Army and the Hun cavalry, he will definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack, so that the young master cannot win and cannot enter Beijing." So why don't the young master take advantage of this and pretend to lead the army to attack the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry, but set up an ambush to lure Dong Zhuojun into the ambush circle of our army, so that he can defeat Dong Zhuojun with minor casualties and relieve his worries once and for all? ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "Although this plan is good, it can't be used here." Because the three armies of Dong Zhuo's army, the Baibo army, and the Hun cavalry were all stationed not far from Linfen City, they were close to each other and Linfen City, and they were all in each other's field of vision, so it was impossible to set up an ambush. And even if there are the conditions required for an ambush war, our army can really ambush Dong Zhuojun. But don't forget, there are also the White Wave Army and the Hun cavalry eyeing you next to you. When our army is ambushed, their two armies can take advantage of our army's unpreparedness, or attack our army or Linfen City. ”

When the three generals heard this, they had nothing to say.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how can this battle be fought?" Zhang Xiu said anxiously.

Ma Chao looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "The patients of our army, to sum up, are that they cannot attack Dong Zhuo's army, otherwise it will not be conducive to the young master's entry into Beijing and there will be too many casualties; It is also impossible to attack the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry, otherwise Dong Zhuo's army will take the opportunity to attack our army; It is even more impossible to attack Dong Zhuo's army and the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry at the same time. ”

Ma Chao said: "Yes, that's right. ”

Zhang Xiu said impatiently: "But our army can't attack this, and we can't attack that, this battle can't be fought at all, and it can only be consumed with it." ”

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu, smiled mysteriously, and said: "Our army cannot attack the enemy, but it does not mean that the enemy army can be exempted from being attacked. ”

Ma Chao said in surprise: "Wenhe, how do you say this?" ”

Zhang Xiu said dissatisfiedly: "If our army does not attack the enemy, who else can the enemy attack?" Could it be that the enemy army attacked itself on its own? Jia sacrificial wine is really more and more outrageous! ”

Listening to Zhang Xiu's words, Ma Chao was thoughtful.

Jia Xu smiled gently: "I really let General Zhang say it, that is, let the enemy attack the enemy army!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I finally understand!" You mean, borrow a knife to kill! Try to make Dong Zhuo's army attack the White Wave Army and the Hun cavalry, or make the White Wave Army and the Hun cavalry attack Dong Zhuo's army! In this way, they can fight with each other, and our army will benefit. So that our army can defeat these three enemy armies without much effort! ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Dong Zhuo's constraints are too great, so we must try to let the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry attack Dong Zhuo's army." The White Wave Army and the Hun cavalry combined, the strength was far superior to Dong Zhuo's army, which had only 13,000 cavalry. If Dong Zhuo's department is attacked by two departments, it will probably be defeated! ”

Ma Chao said: "Then how to kill people with a knife, so that the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry will attack Dong Zhuo's department desperately?" ”

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said: "Young master, my subordinates know a little about astronomy, and after nightfall tonight, it will snow!" ”

Ma Chao is so smart, of course, he can understand a little, he also smiled: "In the snowy night, it is difficult for the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry to identify the banner of the enemy army, and they can't guess the identity of the enemy army!" ”

Jia Xu and Ma Chao looked at each other and smiled.

Pang De, Zhang Xiu, and Liyi looked at each other, and they didn't know what medicine Jia Xu and Ma Chao were selling in the gourd.

Zhang Xiu asked, "Brother, Jia Saijiu, what are you talking about?" ”

"Hahahaha!" Ma Chao and Jia Xu laughed silently.

After making a decision, Ma Chao ordered Xiliang Tieqi to start sleeping now. In this way, at night, Xiliang Tieqi can keep a clear head.

In addition, Ma Chao considered that he was going to fight at night, so he didn't have time to study with Cai Yan anymore. Ma Chao thought about it, today is the first day of the reading club, you can't miss the appointment, you must have a good start. Ma Chao decided that he would go to Cai Yan at this time.

Ma Chao quietly walked out of the shogunate, walked to Yang Biao's mansion, easily climbed over the wall, jumped into the courtyard, and tiptoed to the small building where Cai Yong and Cai Yan lived. As the distance got closer, Ma Chao slowly heard the sound of someone talking in the small building. Walking to the small building, against the wall, Ma Chao heard the voices of Cai Yong and Cai Yan on the first floor.

Cai Yong said: "The Hedong Wei clan is a well-known family in the world, and I Chen Liucai's family is also a good match. That Wei Zhongdao, my father has seen him many times, this person is polite and very talented, the only thing is that his body is a little worse, but don't worry about it, just take care of it. ”

Cai Yan said suspiciously: "Why did the father say this to his daughter? ”

Cai Yong said bitterly: "Yan'er, you are also fifteen years old now, and it is time for you to get married." Other women of your age are already married. ”

Cai Yan said in surprise: "What does my father mean?" ”

Cai Yong nodded and said, "Yes, the Hedong Wei clan has proposed marriage to his father before, and after thinking twice about it, he decided to marry you to Wei Zhongdao." Yan'er, what do you think? ”

Cai Yan immediately stood up, lowered his head, and said, "Yan'er still wants to accompany her father for a few more years." ”

Cai Yong sighed and said, "Alas! As a father, I don't want to marry you off so early. can be a traitorous minister for his father to slander and falsely accuse, and was exiled to Shuofang by His Majesty, which is bitter and cold. If you find a good family to marry, you don't have to be displaced from your father and have a person to rely on. ”

Cai Yan's heart was confused, he thought about it, and said, "Let my daughter think about it again." ”
