My husband Zhuge Kongming

Huang Yueying agrees with Zhuge Liang's lament.

He was a ruthless man who could really survive until his bosses were gone, and Cao Cao and Cao Pi were gone, and laid the foundation for the Western Jin Dynasty!

Even though the Sima family was about to choose them at this time, Sima Yi still made suggestions for Cao Cao's side, pointing to her and Zhuge Liang's most secret plans.

This talent is indeed excellent.

However, although they have made a plan, they do not rely solely on this plan. They want to push towards Beiping with their upright strength.

This is a conspiracy.

None of Cao Cao's strategies can defeat this conspiracy.

In terms of strength, although Cao Cao's side has more people, the armor produced by her side is indeed too advantageous.

During the Three Kingdoms period, hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were often used in battles. In fact, the number of real combatable soldiers was less than half of this number. Most of them were supplemented by logistical auxiliaries or civilians, sometimes just to scare them. enemy.

And with the productivity of this era, it is simply impossible to equip all combatable soldiers with iron armor.

In later films and TV dramas, even large-scale iron armor appeared in the wars of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but they were all meant to fool the audience.

Therefore, even if she "shared" the iron-making method with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the other party would have to spend more manpower, material resources, and time if they wanted to build armor of the same quality as hers.

And for most of the armor they made, it was difficult to compete with her in terms of quality.

Based on this alone, Liu Bei's army won by an unknown amount.

On the battlefield, when soldiers find that their own weapons cannot even break through the opponent's defense, how desperate should they feel? And when this despair permeates hundreds of thousands of recruits, the effect will be infinitely amplified.

However, they also have to guard against Cao Cao's trap.

Because it was her side that wanted to conquer the city.

Fire attacks, water attacks, and even huge pits will make the soldiers on your side unable to move, resulting in heavy losses.

She believed that Cao Cao's advisers could not fail to see that for this reason, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others had to travel with Liu Bei during this fight.

The geniuses of this era will do a great job in formulating strategies and appeasing people's hearts after the war.

As for her, as long as she sticks to the rules and does a good job in dispatching and analyzing intelligence in various places, it will be enough.

She hoped that this would be the last battle for the big man.

Luoyang.

Outside the city to the west.

Guan Yu looked at the handsome young general in front of him, with his silver spear and white robe, and the war horse under his crotch, which looked extraordinary. He secretly sighed at the number of heroes in Xiliang, held his hands in his arms and said with a smile, "General Ma, you are polite."

At this time, Ma Chao was serving as General Pian and Marquis Duting. His ancestor was Ma Yuan, General Fubo of the Han Dynasty. This relationship alone added a lot of goodwill to him.

Moreover, Ma Chao's reputation was gained all the way. He fought bravely and refused to retreat even after being wounded. He killed Guo Yuan and made the high-ranking cadres and chanyu Huchuquan surrender after hearing the news. Later, he was promoted by Cao Cao and worshiped as the governor of Xuzhou and admonished him. Talk to the doctor.

Over the years, in order to win over Ma Chao, Cao Cao not only sent Zhong Yao to stabilize Xiliang and state the pros and cons, but also sent Ma Chao's younger brother and father to Ye as hostages.

Of course, it was Liu Bei's sincerity to convince Ma Chao to take action and protect his family in Yecheng.

"General Guan, you are polite." Ma Chao's eyes were bright. He looked at Guan Yu as if he was seeing an idol and an opponent, and his fighting spirit rose. "Chao came from Xiliang. After entering Guanzhong, he went all the way to Luoyang. He saw that the people lived in peace. When the ears of wheat are hanging on the wheat field, I remember that a few years ago when Dong Zhuo was involved in the rebellion, it was like clouds and mud today.

Guan Yu said with a smile, "My brother is kind and thinks of the people in everything. He worked hard last year in order to promote the system of planning and dictating land. Now the people in Guanzhong are also under this policy, and the imperial court If we just collect normal taxes, how can the people not take care of them carefully?"

In the land of Xiliang, the land output is not high, and Ma Chao is understandable for lamenting this. However, Xu Shu said that the merchant house has also been doing business with the Xiliang people in recent years. These Xiliang soldiers and horses are actually fat and strong, and they look like a strong army.

"Gong Heming is so kind." Ma Chao sighed, "Today, Ma Chao, on the order of Duke Heming, led 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to help in the battle. Please give me orders from General Guan!"

Guan Yu's eyes lit up, then he stroked his beard and laughed, "Thank you, General Ma."

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is also a famous cavalry. In this battle, it can become a surprising force.

"General Guan doesn't have to be so unfamiliar."

"Okay, Meng Qi doesn't have to be so unfamiliar. Guan is a little older. If you don't mind, you and I are brothers."

"Brother Yun!"

The two looked at each other and smiled again, and then Guan Yu led Ma Chao into Luoyang.

Ma Chao's soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city, and soon there were logistics officials responsible for the station and the docking of military supplies. This made Ma Chao's soldiers sigh that the treatment was excellent.

Ma Chao entered the city and marveled at the numerous shops inside and the people on the street who were not afraid of the soldiers behind him.

He had also seen this scene when he met Wenpin in Chang'an before. At that time, he thought that Wenpin had contributed to his governance.

Now it seems that this should be considered a common phenomenon within Liu Bei's sphere of influence.

Although the Ma family advocates fighting, they mostly fight against enemies rather than ordinary people.

If the people of Xiliang could be like the people here, he would be able to talk to his ancestors even a hundred years later.

The great Han Dynasty will revive again, and in this revival, the Ma family will also have a share of its contribution.

Ma Chao has no worries about the arrangements for his troops.

However, he was thinking about whether to go to Xuchang and meet Liu Bei. After all, Xuchang and Luoyang are not far away. It only takes a few days to ride a horse back and forth.

However, there is no rush about this matter. Ma Chao thought as he looked at Guan Yu beside him.

If given the chance, he would like to compete with the world-famous Guan Yu first.

When they arrived at Guan Yu's house, they were soon served with wine and food, "Meng Qi, Ziyu has led people to express condolences to the soldiers outside the city."

"Thank you, Brother Yun." Ma Chao handed over.

When it comes to working for Liu Bei, Ma Chao is not worried about not being provided with food and grass.

The person who had discussed with him before had already advanced part of it through Xinghan Commercial Bank. It can be said that they did not spend any of their own money all the way here this time.

Furthermore, Liu Bei was rich, no, it was Xinghan Trading Company that was rich, which was something that the entire Han Dynasty knew.

Even if the southern aristocratic family once wanted to rebel against the trading company, they were killed by the guards of the trading company. This news is known to the leaders of all the forces.

Among the various forces, who has not bought the armor of Xinghan Trading Company?

Not to mention, the easy-to-carry stone-like military rations introduced by the trading company are really convenient for their cavalry, and the taste is much better than dried meat.

Therefore, after negotiating terms with Liu Bei, he was not worried about the safety of Ma Teng, Ma Xiu and others at all.

Now that Liu Bei is famous, righteous, and supported by money and food, even if the emperor is still in Cao Cao's hands, he doesn't think Cao Cao can win.

However, he wanted to know more about how to attack.
