Chapter 1038 Why are you bowing your head if you don't propose?

"Cao Cao's food and grass are insufficient, plotting to withdraw from Wei County and Yangping County?" Ma Chao looked at Zhen Mi in disbelief, suddenly shocked, which made the very calm elephant dragon under his crotch sneezed in displeasure, reminding him Be calm.

But how could Ma Chao calm down about this kind of thing?

If Cao Cao is just short of food and grass, Ma Chao can accept it.After all, Cao Cao didn't have much time to farm the fields, and he only went to the stage of promotion, and he was far from reaching the point of "a bumper harvest in Bianzhou and a bumper harvest in the treasury".But Zhen Mi swears that Cao Cao has ordered all the supplies of the Zhen family to be moved to Dongjun, which means that Cao Cao will give up Weijun and Yangping counties, there is no other possibility!

Before conquering Montenegro, Ma Chao didn't know about the changes in Yuan Shao's army strategy, but only heard that Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and Yuan's army was defeated.In Ma Chao's view, Cao Cao had no problem at all in Weijun and Yuan Shao's attempt to fight Yuan Shao with such power under his coercion.But Cao Cao showed weakness in this way, there is only one possibility.

Cao Cao wants to fight Yuan Shao quickly!

"Meng Qi, Mr. Cao is short of food and grass, and his lone army is deep. If he fights against Yuan Shao, the outcome is only five or five. Now if it is said that Mr. Cao took the initiative to give up the two counties, it means that the battle between Yuan and Cao will happen soon. It will be over within half a month!" Guo Jia's expression was also very ugly. After saying this, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Now the Ma family is taking advantage of the opportunity. If Duke Cao decides Yuan Shao quickly, he will win a big victory. The prestige of Jizhou is at your fingertips! Even though it is stated in the alliance letter that Mr. Cao will not take every county in Jizhou, you and I both know in our hearts that the alliance letter is nothing more than deceit.”

Yes, the covenant Ma Chao concluded with Cao Cao this time is actually a secret covenant and cannot be made public.The two families are now fighting against Yuan in the name of helping the Han family, but in fact, the two things written above to carve up Yuan Shao's territory and order the emperor to move him are against the way of a courtier.Therefore, since Ma Chao rejected the fact that Cao Cao and Sun Ce's coalition forces jointly attacked Yuan Shu, it is very likely that Cao Cao will occupy the land of Jizhou to fight against the enemy.

The fertile land north of the Yellow River is a huge cake for Ma Chao and Cao Cao.And Yuan Shao's main force is just a bunch of stinky dogs, whoever sticks to it will be unlucky.Ma Chao is very powerful, Yuan Shao will undoubtedly contend with Ma Chao first, if he is no match for Ma Chao.It was the intention of both Ma Chao and Yuan Shao to move the battlefield to the center line, causing Cao Cao to fall into the shit pile.But once Cao Cao wiped his ass clean, it would be a huge threat to Ma Chao, who was still slowly devouring the land of Bingzhou.

Of course, Cao Cao's crimes are more serious than the alliance letter.If Ma Chao used this as a threat, Cao Cao might not retreat, but the situation of chaos is unclear.Until the last step, neither of the two families wants to make a fuss.

"Miss Zhen Mi, the information you revealed is only a little reference for the Ma family, but it is far from beneficial. I want to know, are the lives of the two of you worth only this sentence?" Ma Chao It has now been seen that although Zhen Yan is the head of the Zhen family, he obviously has to follow the opinions of Zhen Mi, the 14-year-old sister, in the decision-making of the Zhen family.And Ma Chao also knew that at this time, he must not trip Cao Cao and let Yuan Shao defeat Cao Cao.Otherwise, Yuan Shao's next move is definitely not to aggressively attack Cao Cao, but to turn around and fight the Ma family.

Therefore, Ma Chao has no choice but to tie up the Zhen family's boat first, and know Cao Cao's movements in detail in terms of food, grass and intelligence.After all, that old guy Yang Biao did not participate in Cao Cao's military.Although Zhen Huan in Xuzhou has already joined the Cao family, Xuzhou is too far away from the center line camp after all, and it is impossible to send accurate and useful information.

If the Ma family also drives a nail into the Cao camp in terms of food, grass and intelligence, then one can imagine how much advantage the Ma family will have if the Ma and Cao fight each other in the future!

"General Hussars, my little girl thinks that this information is enough for the general." Zhen Mi couldn't ride a horse, but she didn't see any weakness in Ma Chao's eyes at this time: "This kind of news is not good enough for Zhang Yan. For the bandit leader, it is useless. But for the general, it can prevent problems before they happen. If the general feels that he is at a loss, he can also kidnap my brother and sister like Zhang Yan, or directly kill the two of us to vent his anger... "

Hearing Zhen Mi's words, Ma Chao didn't draw his sword to test their minds.In fact, as Zhen Mi said, if Ma Chao kidnapped or killed these two people, the Ma family would not get half of the benefits. It is useful for the Ma family to pass on exact information.

However, according to the current situation, it was Zhen Mi who was determined by Ma Chao, and wanted to use a broad and general information to get rid of the life-saving grace.Naturally, Ma Chao would not do such a loss-making business.

"Miss Zhen Mi, people of the Ming Dynasty don't speak dark words. The fact that you were kidnapped by Zhang Yan this time clearly shows that your Zhen family has not received too much attention from Cao Cao's side. Maybe Cao Cao despised merchants, or Cao Cao was angry You supported Yuan Shao vigorously before. But no matter what, the Cao family is not a good host for you to take refuge in." At this time, Ma Chao was very eager to return to Jinyang, but the more so, he was in front of Zhen Mi, Also show a calm demeanor.

"You must be aware of the Ma family's support policy for merchants. Do you know about the Li family in Jinyang?" Live examples to seduce Zhen Yan.

You must know that Zhen Yan also had an official position in Yuan's family, but Zhen Yan got a position as a small guard under the premise of subsidizing Yuan Shao a lot after being promoted to Xiaolian for four years.Compared with Li Zihao, who didn't even have the qualifications of filial piety, but was appointed by Ma Chao as a member of the household department, Wailang, and had important officials involved in the entire Ma family's business activities, it was a world of difference.

And when Zhen Yan and Zhen Mi heard the name of the Li family, their faces were filled with embarrassment.You know, two years ago, the Li family in Jinyang was just a well-known businessman in Jinyang City, but since taking the initiative to join the Ma family, with the help of Ma's products, the Li family has become the largest merchant's home in Bingzhou City. .Directly reduce the profit margin of the Zhen family in Bingzhou to the minimum, and have a faint tendency to expand to Jizhou.At the same time, the two also knew that the Li family's trade with the Xianbei outside the Great Wall for more than a year had made the Li family a lot of money.

If the big Han merchants want to grow smoothly, it is definitely the best choice to find the Ma family as a backup.After all, in this era, no one pays more attention to the development of business than Ma Chao.

However, after Ma Chao said this, Ma Chao suddenly found that Zhen Yan and Zhen Mi's faces, after a moment of hesitation, revealed a smile of conspiracy success.After the two looked at each other, Zhen Mi lowered her head.And Zhen Yan clasped his fists and said, "General Hussars, the Zhen family can surrender to the Ma family, or even help the Ma family with all their strength, and provide the Ma family with information on Yuan and Cao. But the Zhen family is not a short-sighted family." , I also have a small request."

"No!" Ma Chao flatly refused without waiting for Zhen Yan to say the condition: "I already have several wives and concubines in my family, and they have already given birth to a son and two daughters for me. Besides, Lingmei is just over the age of Ji this year. I am still young, but I am cold and bloodthirsty by nature, and my conduct is not good..."

"My lord, the Zhen family just wants to find an official position in the Ma family like the head of the Li family, hoping to take the agency right in the hands of the one who does business in Hebei and Youzhou... How did you ever say that you will marry the younger sister to the Ma family?" What about the general?" Zhen Yan's face was a little dark, but after saying this, he couldn't help but look at his younger sister: If he really married his younger sister to Ma Chao, even if he was a concubine, it would be as good as a concubine. The general identity of the daughter and princess Fushou.Liu Liang, a fortune teller, used to look at the younger sister, and said that the younger sister will be extremely valuable in the future, and will be appointed by the imperial concubine, is it just right for this match?
When Ma Chao heard Zhen Yan's words, he couldn't help but relax a lot and said: "This should be a reasonable thing, so I've agreed." Turning his head and looking at Zhen Mi again, his eyes couldn't help being a little strange: You don't want to marry me, you Why lower your head?It made my little heart thump and thump...

But Zhen Mi was really pissed off this time. She lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, and she is more courageous and beautiful than other sisters.After being included in the Qunfang spectrum by Xu Shao, he even enjoyed the treatment of stars in the neighborhood.It's impossible to say that you don't have a bit of arrogance in your heart.But being so rejected by Ma Chao today, I couldn't help feeling a little bit annoyed, and stared at Ma Chao fiercely: "An ancient virtuous woman, how can there be a younger sister who wants to be an official for my brother?"Do you really think that all beautiful women in the world must be married to you? !
