My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Jian'an five years, late June.

Ma Chao and Cao Cao formally formed an alliance to kill Han Sui.

There were more than 140,000 infantry and cavalry. Ma Chao led the cavalry and Cao Cao led the infantry.

Moreover, Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's strategy and declared in a high-profile manner that only Han Sui would be held accountable for the crime, and that the rest of the princes would be exempted from guilt if they surrendered to Han Sui, and they would be appointed as generals.

With this plan, Jincheng was in chaos.

Han Sui was not trustworthy at all, and he was named and killed by Cao Cao and Ma Chao this time. As for those princes, they only gathered together because of their interests, and now they have no profit, so they all retreated.

When Cao Cao and Ma Chao's troops arrived in Jincheng County, Han Sui's nine coalition forces had only three left, including his own.

The other two also had grudges against Ma Teng and dared not leave.

For a while, the situation in Xiliang was changed by Cao Cao's several twists and turns, and they fell apart and went their separate ways.

However, Cao Cao knew that this Han Sui must be killed. On the one hand, it was impossible for the Ma family to vote for him to stay, and on the other hand, it was true that Han Sui did not behave properly.

-

In the seventh month, all the princes voted for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's troops expanded from 140,000 to 180,000, leaving only [-] troops under Han Sui's command, guarding Jincheng alone, which made Han Sui extremely unwilling.

He wanted to use Cao Cao's hand to kill the Ma family,
But in turn, the Ma family used Cao Cao's hand to kill him.

In Jincheng, Han Sui was furious.

"Damn, a bunch of idiots, Cao Cao fooled them with a few words, and they are the only ones who are sold by Cao Cao and count the money for Cao Cao!"

Han Sui couldn't help roaring in the hall.

The princes allied with him have run away, which is simply annoying.

"Leader, what should we do at this moment?" One person asked. He also had grudges with the Ma family and did not dare to surrender, and he also knew the disadvantages of surrendering to Cao Cao.

"What else can I do? There is only a bloody battle, otherwise there is only a dead end!" Han Sui couldn't help shouting, how reconciled he was to being in a desperate situation in an instant after a good game of chess.

"But leader, Cao's army is all good at attacking the city, while my Xiliang soldiers and horses are all good at riding and shooting, not good at defending the city. What's more, our city has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has long lost its defense ability due to the wind and sun."

Another person couldn't help but speak.

"Then what else can we do? Is it possible to surrender directly and let Cao Cao kill us all?" Han Sui questioned, he had lost his composure before.

"Leader, let's run away. My big man still had the Western Regions earlier. Why don't we lead our army to flee to the Western Regions? It can be regarded as expanding the territory for the big Han. Moreover, it is said that there are very few small countries there."

Someone suggested.

"Western Region?" Han Sui frowned: "But most of the knights in the city are from Xiliang, how many people are willing to let them leave their hometown?"

"It counts as much as you can, it's better than staying here and being killed by Cao Cao!"

"That's right, staying here is a dead end, and the Ma family won't let us go if they gain power. Why don't we take this opportunity to escape to the Western Regions and rebuild the territory when the time comes."

The two began to suggest.

It's not too far from Xiliang to flee to the Western Regions, but it's not close either.
Han Sui was tangled in his heart, he was afraid that he would never have a chance to come back in this life.

However, Cao Cao is good at attacking the city. At this moment, the morale of the army in his city is weak. It is estimated that even if he defends the city for half a month at most, he will be breached. It is better to go out and fight while he still has the strength.

"Forget it, go, call the whole army, those who are willing to go with us, go, those who don't want to go, surrender!" Han Sui waved his hands, feeling a little unhappy.

The other two nodded, they didn't dare to stay in Xiliang anyway,
From the time Cao Cao entered Xiliang, they knew that there would only be one boss in Xiliang, either they or Cao Cao. Now it seems that Cao Cao is superior.

It's also Han Sui's fault, if he hadn't forced Ma Teng to rebel, it wouldn't have happened.

Immediately, in an open space in the city, Han Sui gave a speech, and a total of [-] cavalry from each department were willing to follow, while the rest all looked at each other and did not want to leave.

It stands to reason that these people should be killed, but considering that so many people would mutiny accidentally, they would not be able to run away when the time came, so Han Sui didn't insist.

That night, Han Sui asked his former subordinate Yan Xing to lead [-] cavalry to the south to attract Cao Cao's attention. When he was discovered, he surrendered. As for Yan Xing, Han Sui was temporarily placed beside Cao Cao.

And he and the other two princes continued westward with [-] cavalry, which was the land of the big man before, but gradually lost control as the big man declined.

"Report~, my lord, Han Sui let his subordinates break out of the siege, and led his troops to flee westward. It seems that he is not allowed to stay in Xiliang!" Inside the army tent, sentry cavalry came galloping.

"Hehe, good, good!" Cao Cao laughed heartily, he hadn't been this happy for a long time.

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord, Xiliang was pacified, and Han Sui was expelled." Guo Jia, Xunyou and the others looked at each other, then clasped their fists and laughed lightly.

As soon as Ma Chao heard that Han Sui had run away, he immediately said, "Mr. Cao, then Han Sui has an old enmity with my Ma family, so I will lead my troops to kill him."

"Meng Qi, why should the defeated general pursue him? It's dark now, if he pursues rashly, he might fall into an ambush." ​​Cao Cao hastily interrupted Ma Chao's thoughts.

And after dealing with Ma Chao during this period of time, he found that Ma Chao was very capable as a military adviser, and his military force was also very strong, but his personality was relatively straightforward.

This made Cao Cao cherish his talents.

Ma Chao still wanted to insist, but Ma Dai pulled Ma Chao's sleeve and whispered something in his ear. Ma Chao squinted his eyes, probably meaning that Xiliang belongs to our Ma family.

If you chase him out, Cao Cao will regret it and so on.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao immediately gave up, and said at the same time: "Mr. Cao, now that Xiliang has been pacified, should I be named Liangzhou Shepherd and lead a chariot and ride a general?"

"Hehe, it's natural, it's natural!"

"Meng Qi, to be honest, my sons don't even have the slightest bit of bravery like you, and they don't even know how to lead troops to fight. Naturally, Xiliang will be given to you."

"But I don't know if you would like to marry my Cao Cao's daughter. When the time comes, you and my two families will get married and unite the Han River, how about it?"

Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao with burning eyes.

To be honest, he extremely hoped that Ma Chao would agree.

"This..." Ma Chao hesitated,
"Meng Qi, your stage is far more than this, the bitter cold place on the border of Xiliang, do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? Come with me to Chang'an, and be Cao Cao's son-in-law,"

"When the time comes, you and I will join hands to take down the great man. With your ability to command the cavalry, coupled with my Qingzhou soldiers, we will surely sweep the world."

Seeing Ma Chao's hesitation, Cao Cao hurriedly hit the railway line while it was hot.
He knew that Ma Chao had great ambitions, and it must be more than the things in front of him.

Ma Chao pondered for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to Duke Cao's respect, Meng Qi is naturally willing, but I still need my father to intervene in this matter."

"It should be, it should be!"

Cao Cao grabbed Ma Chao's arm, which made him happy.

It's fine to calm down Xiliang easily, but also take in Ma Chao, a general, and with Ma Chao's help, the cavalry in Xiliang can swing like arms without getting kicked.

Ma Chao retreated immediately, with many thoughts in his mind.

Ma Dai and Pang De followed behind without saying much.

Watching Ma Chao leave, Guo Jia and the others said, "My lord, Ma Chao is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can severely damage the enemy. If you use it well, I'm afraid."

"I know it in my heart." Cao Cao said solemnly.

"My lord's move is not impossible. Although Xiliang is calm, but to put it bluntly, it can only be regarded as a superficial approval of the lord. We need someone who can deter these people."

"In this case, Ma Chao is the best. Firstly, he is extremely brave and secondly, he is the eldest son of Ma Teng. The other princes dare not disobey him. Only in this way can Xiliang be used."

Xun You chuckled, but he thought it was feasible.

The main thing is to use heavy scriptures in troubled times. If you blindly seek stability, how can you compete with Chu Feng.

"My lord, Han Sui fled. Now there are [-] cavalry in Xiliang, and [-] are still here. Even if we can only recruit half of them, it can change the situation that our army has no cavalry."

"At that time, with the marriage with Ma Chao, it will be easy for Xiliang to send out 200,000 cavalry, plus our army's [-] infantry, the [-] army will not be as strong as Yuan Shao's back then."

Cao Ren was a little excited.

200,000 steps to ride, Yuan Shao was only a few hundred thousand before.

Of course, this is the most ideal situation. They can dispatch so many by themselves, and Cao Cao naturally does not have so many cavalry, but this is definitely great news for Cao Cao.

The intervention of these cavalry can definitely make Cao Cao stand firm.

"Cao Ren, go and recruit soldiers." Cao Cao grinned happily from ear to ear, Xiliang soldiers are brave and brave, and Dong Zhuo led Xiliang soldiers back then.

However, the biggest shortcoming of the Xiliang soldiers is that they are disorganized and not convinced by each other. To put it bluntly, if they don't listen to and watch, no matter how strong they are, they are nothing but bullshit.

"No!" Cao Ren nodded and left.

"My lord, Yizhou is next." Xun You smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Haha, once Yizhou is captured, I can mobilize at least 200,000 troops under my command. Even Chu Feng may not have so many troops!" Cao Cao laughed.

"My lord has pacified Xiliang in three months, and married Ma Chao. When the news comes out, I am afraid that the whole country will be shaken. By then, those rats in Yizhou will be in a state of panic again."

Guo Jialang smiled, he could already predict the situation in Yizhou.

From the current point of view, Yizhou will definitely be terrified by this matter.

"Then when do you think it's best to enter Shu?" Cao Cao had a smile on his face. He became more and more convinced that it was right to withdraw from the Central Plains, and asked everyone.

"It should be sooner rather than later. Yizhou Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, and the lord controls the emperor. You can first exert pressure with the general situation, and then contact the internal officials of Yizhou to cooperate internally and externally."

"I think those celebrities have disobeyed Liu Zhang for a long time." Guo Jia explained with a smile.

"Hehe, Yizhou is at your fingertips!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"My lord, although the sooner Yizhou is better, Xiliang still needs to pay more attention. People like Xiliang rebelled not once or twice."

"I suggest that, on the one hand, transfer Ma Chao and Ma Teng to Chang'an to reduce Ma's influence in Xiliang, and at the same time let Zhang Ji, Zhong Yao and others take over Xiliang."

"Of course, some members of the Ma clan need to stay in Xiliang, so as not to cause them dissatisfaction." Xun You stroked his beard, but he was thinking about the matter in front of him.

There is no way, Xiliang is too important to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's only horse producing land is Xiliang, so there is no room for loss.

----

Jian'an five years, late July.

When Cao Cao invaded Xiliang and forced Han Sui to flee for thousands of miles, a hurricane instantly set off in the whole world. At the same time, Cao Cao and Ma Chao were also related by marriage.

Ma Chao married Cao Cao's daughter, and at the same time let Ma Teng lead the Liangzhou pastoralist, Ma Chao led the chariot and rode the general, and the Ma clan more or less rewarded them.

As for the other princes of Xiliang, they were more or less granted rewards, but what they were facing was an annexation. Naturally, Cao Cao would not tolerate the existence of these people, and if he did not want to be annexed, he was doomed to die.

These people can only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

For a while, Cao Cao annexed tens of thousands of fine cavalry from Xiliang, and sent Zhong Yao as Liangzhou's other driver, and appointed Zhang as the prefect of Jincheng, and the two replaced Cao Cao to radiate Xiliang.

At first, Ma Chao was somewhat reluctant,
However, Ma Teng persuaded Ma Chao to be patient. After all, after Cao Cao annexed Xiliang, his power increased greatly, and it would be even more difficult to fight against him.

What's more, the two can be regarded as grasshoppers on the same boat,

In the end, Ma Teng was won to return to Xiliang to serve as the shepherd of Liangzhou to prevent the Ma family's foundation from being completely emptied. As for Ma Xiu Ma Tie and Ma Dai and others, they followed Ma Chao in Chang'an.
It can only be said that Cao Cao and the Ma family have achieved what they want each other,
It's a pity that the other princes have lost their real power if they chose the wrong path, but this way they can live a stable life for a lifetime, which is not bad.

As for Cao Cao's military strength, it also instantly rose from 150,000 to [-], and was equipped with [-] iron cavalry, from which Cao Cao selected elite reorganized tiger and leopard cavalry.

And Cao Cao's territory, outside of Yongzhou, is Hanzhong and Liangzhou, which can be regarded as the land of two states, with a population of millions, and its background is worse than that of Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao doesn't do personnel.

After Yuan Shao's defeat, he was restless all day long.

Let the two sons under his command stand in line, the eldest son Yuan Tan is flourishing in Youzhou and Bingzhou, and his relationship with Wuhuan is not too good, and he even approached the Southern Huns.

The third son, Yuan Shang, stayed in Jizhou and was close to Yuan Shao, including all the scholars under his command.

Outsiders all know that Cao Cao is reinforcing, Chu Feng is reinforcing, and only Yuan Shao is fighting internally. If things go on like this, Yuan Shao will be completely out of the world's battle.

It's just that there are not many capable people under Yuan Shao's command.

Tian Feng and Ju Shou were taken away by Chu Feng. What Xu You thought was to play tricks on the other three. Besides, there were not many talented people among the three, and Yan Liangwen Chou died in battle.

Zhang He voted for Chu Feng,
Right now Yuan Shao has too few generals to use.

Now Yuan Shao held his breath and waited for another decisive battle with Chu Feng, but this day was bound to take some time, because both Cao Cao and Chu Feng needed to develop.

When Cao Cao took Xiliang,
The Chu army also won consecutive battles in Jiaozhou, killing countless enemies. Shi Xie was no match for Zhao Fan and Xu Shu, and finally forced Shi Xie to surrender.

All the prefectures and counties in Jiaozhou fell into Chu Feng's hands, and at the same time, the scribes who had taken refuge in Jiaozhou also belonged to Chu Feng, which relieved the situation that no one under Chu Feng's command was available.

So far, Chu Feng is sitting in Yang, Jing, Xu, Yu, Yan, Jiao, Si, a total of seven prefectures, including most of Qingzhou, which is close to eight prefectures.

Half of the world has already fallen into the hands of Chu Feng,
As for the strength of the troops, the conscription is in full swing, and the training of troops in various places is also actively carried out. The princes of the three parties are all preparing for the next decisive battle.
