Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1271

For Ma Chao, who has more than half of the reputation, even Mu Jing dare not say that he will definitely use him with confidence.

Is Ma Chao loyal?
Still ambitious?

After all, he can only make a decision after seeing himself in person.

So he wanted to call Ma Chao back to Yudu.

Of course, if Ma Chao dare not even enter Yudu City, no matter whether he has a return in his heart, then even if he can use it, he will not dare to use it. At least he lacks the courage, so he may not be able to take on important tasks.

The first test for Mu Jing and Ma Chao is to see if he has the courage to enter Yudu City alone.

If Ma Chao can pass his tricks during the interview.

He doesn't mind using Ma Chao.

In history, Ma Chao was basically hidden by Liu Beixue. Not to mention the five generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun also made countless contributions.

On the contrary, Ma Chao, after entering the Shu Han formation, became unknown instead.

Ma Chao's ability has never been doubted.

He didn't want a fierce man who could kill Cao Cao and cut off his beard and robe, to be depressed all his life. People like them were born for the battlefield.

…………

In the follow-up of the Northwest, there are not only these problems, but also many problems that need to be solved.

For example, the rectification of Liangzhou.

The configuration of officials.

Is it also based on the New Deal spending, or continue to use the old deal county model?

This is all up for discussion.

Due to the incident in the Northwest, Zhaoming Pavilion held a total of seven meetings, and it took four days to come up with a preliminary plan.

However, Zhaoming Pavilion has a plan, that is, the matter in the northwest has initially stabilized.

And the battle in the northwest has also begun to ferment in the Central Plains.

…………

Xu capital city.

Prime Minister's House.

"We have done so many things, but we can't hold back the expansion of their Minghou Mansion in the northwest?" Seeing the news from the northwest, Cao Cao's face was very ugly: "It's not just that the Xiqiang tribe has been taken down. , even the entire Liangzhou will fall into the hands of the Minghou Mansion?"

It's not until he looks bad.

If only the Xiqiang tribe.

He can still take it.

But Liangzhou...

This place in Xiliang is desolate and desolate, and there are many places that can be contacted. From Xiliang to Sanfu, the army goes straight to Guanzhong, from Xiliang to the north, from Beidi County, you can directly enter Hexi of Bingzhou, and the east of the river has lost its barrier. .

This has an impact on the entire Central Plains.

"My lord, Jia Wenhe has tried his best in this battle. It can only be said that the Minghou Mansion is too deep!" Guo Jia cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "How many secrets have been arranged by the Minghou Mansion on the Jishishan battlefield? As for Xiliang, Ma Mengqi's rebellion had such a bad impact that it directly established the situation in Xiliang!"

"Ma Chao, I heard that this son is a Xiliang horse. I never thought that he would be so short-sighted!" Cao Cao sneered, "Even his father did the same thing. What use is there for such an unfaithful and unfilial person!"

"Although the horse's character is not good, it's ferocious!" Guo Jia smiled wryly, "He suddenly turned his back on him, so he caught us off guard!"

"Although Ma'er rebelled, Ma Shoucheng is still alive!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly: "And with Zhang Xiuyan Xing and others, is there still a chance to fight back? Even if Xiliang is divided with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, it is better than Xiliang falling into the hands of the Mu family!"

He became more and more wary of Mujing.

"Basically there is no chance, even the time is hard to delay!" Guo Jia thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "My lord, don't forget, there is still the main force of the Mu family in Guanzhong. Once the main force of the Mu army in Xiliang, and The reunion in Guanzhong, let alone resisting, may even make it difficult to escape!"

"Since the situation in Xiliang is like this, we don't need to get entangled anymore. In this round, if you lose, you lose. Let Mulongtu run rampant for a while!"

Cao Cao was a bit bitter, but he had no choice. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Let Jia Wenhe withdraw, although he can't take Liangzhou, but he will have merit in the end. We can't let him lose in Xiliang, and let him take Ma Teng back." Bring it back, and with Ma Shoucheng in hand, it may not be a trump card to deal with horses in the future!"

"promise!"

"After all, it's a pity!" Cao Cao sighed: "We are fighting with Liu Xuande and Yuan Benchu ​​for a bloody fight, but let him Mulongtu oriole be behind!"

If Ma Teng, Zhang Xiu, and Yan Xing all surrendered to him at the beginning, he would really be fighting for the overall situation in Xiliang, but if Liu Bei and Yuan Shao successively settled down, it would become an internal struggle.

It is very difficult for the two parties to cooperate fully, and it is normal that they cannot defeat the Mujun.

"Although Xiliang has a little influence, the situation with the Central Plains is harmless!" Guo Jia comforted and said, "Besides, Xiliang is poor. If we take Xiliang, we may need imperial support for the sake of the small place, and increase The burden of the imperial court is now given to the Mu family, but it is only an increase of the burden for the Mu family, besides, we have divided up the elite soldiers in Xiliang, and he, Mu Jing, just accepted a mess!"

"Feng Xiao, your words are just to comfort me. I'm afraid you won't even believe that Xiliang is irrelevant to the overall situation!"

Cao Cao shook his head.

He understands how important Xiliang is, not to mention that it can completely affect the situation in the Central Plains, but it will have some effect, and an extra line of defense will inevitably be needed.

One more line of defense equals one more troop, which is a consumption of troop strength.

Guo Jia smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, he really couldn't convince himself of his words.

"Losing a game is losing a game, you have to admit it!"

Cao Cao is a very bachelor. As a hero who left his name in history through the ages, if he can afford it, he can let it go;

"In the past, there was still Xiliang hanging out, but now the overall situation of the world has been preliminarily determined, with the imperial court in the center, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei in the north, Mu Jing and Sun Jian in the south!"

Cao Cao walked up to a screen map, with sharp eyes, and said, "As long as we don't lose the harvest this year, I'm afraid there will be a big war next year. We need to prepare early!"

The premise of war is food and grass.

Once a harvest year appears, it means that there is sufficient food and grass. After there is sufficient food and grass, there will naturally be wars.

"north?"

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes.

"If you don't flatten the north, why do you want to go south!" Cao Cao said firmly, looking down at the northern border.

........................

Jizhou, Wei County.

Yecheng.

Yuan Shao's life has been rather irritable recently. He likes his youngest son, Yuan Shang, but his courtiers are more supportive of his eldest son, Yuan Tan. The dispute between the sons has already emerged.

For this matter, he and Tian Fengjushou and others had many quarrels.

For many days, I even avoided seeing these people.

"Ziyuan, what do you think of Xiansi?" In his agitation, Yuan Shao asked this question to a scribe next to him. Xiansi is the word for his eldest son Yuan Tan.

"My lord, this subordinate dare not speak up!"

Xu You smiled wryly.

Hebei has its own lineage, just like a vassal state. Establishing a son is like seizing a heir. This matter should not be easily involved.

Although Yuan Shao prefers Yuan Shang.

But Yuan Shang was young, and Yuan Tan was an adult, and had even joined Yuan Shao to fight in all directions.

Everyone has the hope of becoming the heir of Hebei.

"You!" Yuan Shao shook his head. Among the counselors under his command, Tian Fengjushou has great talents, but also has a bad temper. He has always seldom welcomed him, but people like Xu Youshen and Fengji are even more respectful. his heart.

"My lord, news of Xiliang's return!"

At this time, a personal guard came in with the news.

"News from Xiliang?"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes: "Ziyuan, do you think Yuan Tu can bring me good news?"

"Feng Yuantu has outstanding abilities, and he will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!"

"Then take a look!" Yuan Shao opened the bamboo tube, spread out the rolled military performance inside, and looked at it carefully.

"Losing!"

Yuan Shao couldn't see any disappointment, and he himself didn't have too much expectation for Xiliang: "However, Yuan Tu did a good job. It's a great achievement for him to bring Yan Xing back?"

"Yan Xing, is that Han Sui's powerful general, Yan Xing?"

"That's the man!"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, raised his head, looked at the map hanging up, and asked: "Ziyuan, you said, can someone map Bingzhou?"

"Bingzhou?"

Xu You thought for a while and stared at the map. The entire Bingzhou territory appeared in the depths of his eyes. After a while, he said: "If there is a chance, it is not impossible to expel the Youzhou Army in Hedong and go north to Yanmen Pass, but There are not a few people who mobilize troops, after all, how could Youzhou spit out the whole Bingzhou!"

Bingzhou is now divided between Hebei and Youzhou.

If you want to expel the Youzhou army, you have to fight hard.

"Autumn is here, winter is not far away!"

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and said: "After the beginning of spring, a certain plan wants to merge the state. At that time, Yan will be the main general, and he will fight from the west to the east. Then he will lead the elite troops to fight against the king of the party in the north!"

"My lord wants to plan for Youzhou?" Xu You had extraordinary eyesight, and he could see Yuan Shao's thoughts at once. It was Zhan Bingzhou, and he was going for Youzhou at all.

Once troops are launched against Bingzhou, it is impossible for Youzhou to stay still.

"Hahaha!"

Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "Ziyuan understands me too!"

His eyes were sharp, and he stared at the map: "The world will eventually return to one, and the war is not far away. In my land of Hebei, there are enemies from the north and the south. It is too dangerous. If the North is not peaceful, why do you want to take the Central Plains!"

........................

Youzhou.

After Liu Bei came back from the Liaodong class teacher, he has been appeasing the funeral. After all, taking Liaodong does not mean that there will be peace. Gongsundu may not be reconciled to this person.

Even if Gongsun Du was brought back to Jicheng by him at this moment.

Once he wants to recover, with his influence in Liaodong, he will definitely make Liaodong fight again.

While busy, he will also care about the situation in the Central Plains.

"Is there any result in our negotiation with Cao Mengde?"

At this moment, Liu Bei is more concerned with the negotiation with Cao Cao, which has been discussed for a long time, but it is not such a simple matter to exchange Guan Yu.

"Disaster!"

As Liu Bei's counselor, Guan Jing has been paying attention to this matter.

"What does Cao Mengde mean?"

"Cao Mengde intends to conspire with us, but..." Guan Jing said, "I'm afraid he won't let the Second General back easily. Our only chance may be on the battlefield!"

"hateful!"

Liu Bei was angry.

"My lord, there is also some news from the northwest!"

"how?"

"Zhang Xiu broke through and has gone north, Xiliang is out of reach!"

"As expected!"

Liu Bei sighed. In fact, he didn't have much hope for this matter, and failure is also a normal thing. After all, his troops can't be killed in Xiliang.

"Order the three generals to reorganize the Liaodong army!" Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "We must be in Xiliang, the world is uneasy, and a big war may be imminent. We should prepare early!"

"promise!"

Guan Jing nodded, he also knew very well that the big battle was not far away, and no one could avoid it.
