Three Kingdoms New Malaysia Super League

Chapter 1331 Jiangdong Turmoil
The next day, with a swipe of his pen, Ma Chao once again signed an alliance with the Cao family.However, the strange thing is that it stands to reason that Cao Ang's mission is completed, and he should return to Xuchang to return.But Ma Chao added a clause to the covenant, leaving Cao Ang in Xiangyang.The reason is naturally that Ma Cao's previous two covenants ended in breach of contract, and this time he had to guard against it.

To put it bluntly, Ma Chao is begging for a proton.This kind of thing was common in the later period of the Three Kingdoms period. After all, in the early period of the Three Kingdoms era, there were frequent scuffles between warlords. It may be less than half a month since the two alliances were formed, and the princes of the other party may be wiped out in one fell swoop.Therefore, doing so is quite unreasonable and unnecessary.However, at this moment, what Ma Chao did seems very reasonable and necessary.

Although in terms of strength, the Ma family is completely superior to the Cao family.But in terms of status relationship, Ma Chao is the king of Yong, but Cao Cao is also the king of Wei, and there is no half-subordinate relationship between the two.Moreover, the overall situation of the world has become clear, and it seems that the two families will not be killed by Liu Bei and Sun Ce within ten and a half months.Therefore, leaving Cao Ang as a hostage to this matter was unanimously approved by the Ma family's civil and military, and shouted that Ma Chao was wise.

When the news reached Xuchang, Cao Cao's reaction seemed to agree.Cao Cao didn't even accuse Ma Chao of being rude. Instead, he rectified the [-] Qingzhou army that day, sent troops from Xuchang, and went straight to Lujiang.

On the same day, Ma Chao also ordered Gan Ning, Guo Jia, and Wen Pin to suspend their attack on Lujiang, focusing on rumors and public opinion.On that day, Ma Cao joined forces again, and the panic rumors of bloodbath Jiangdong flew to the six counties of Jiangdong like wings.Sun Ce of Lujiang obviously didn't have a great solution to this kind of rumor attack. After Zhou Yu's repeated persuasion was ineffective, he made the most wrong choice for a warrior to deal with rumors.

The specific method of Ma Chao's rumors is to print a large number of covenants between the Ma and Cao families, and to add fuel to the story, saying that this time the Ma and Cao families aggressively attacked Jiangdong. Cao Cao saw the story of his daughter being abused in Sun's house and wanted to raise troops on a large scale.

Although politically speaking, this reason for raising troops is simply nonsense.But ordinary people who only understand the short stories of their parents believe in such stories that cannot withstand scrutiny, and after several rounds of dissemination, several versions have been derived.Even the details of the grandmother Wu's forcing Cao Nv to wash the toilet came out, and the argument about "Northern horses and southern grandchildren" was even more noisy.

Lujiang was originally the place where Sun Ce slaughtered Lu Kang's family. When Sun Ce heard the rumors spread more and more fiercely, he was shocked immediately. He ordered that all the proclamations collected from the front line be gathered and burned.

However, after the Ma family's shadows processed and improved the story version again and again, they invented a new way of dissemination. They put the bamboo carvings on the upper reaches of the river and let it flow to Jiangdong Daying; through the caravan, they quietly brought the call ;Through careful work, the call to action is conveyed in secret...

Sun Ce was helpless, and ordered that anyone who dared to pick up the proclamation would be executed immediately; anyone who dared to pass on the proclamation would be executed immediately; anyone who dared to discuss the proclamation would be executed immediately!For this reason, he also sent countless spies all over the people to eavesdrop on the conversations of the common people, set up checkpoints on the roads, put up lists to intimidate, and hung up heads in the city to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys.But these measures are like putting out a forest fire with a small spoon of water. This kind of high-handed policy does not play any role, it is completely useless.From Chaisang to Lujiang, from Wuxian to Kuaiji, from Jianye to Yuzhang, such calls to arms appeared almost everywhere in counties, counties, townships, and pavilions, large and small.

The people under high pressure spontaneously spread and passed on.The more Sun Ce ordered that no one was allowed to look at this thing, the more the people's curiosity was aroused, and this thing spread among the people at a faster speed.Later, this call to action sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and its spread was like a raging fire burning wild, everywhere, everywhere, word of mouth, and everyone knew it.

In such a short period of less than half a month, just as Cao Cao's army was approaching the city of Lujiang, different voices finally appeared in the entire foundation of Jiangdong. .As a result, Sun Ce intercepted him on the way, and he ordered Sun Quan to be relieved of his power in the rear.But at this time, Sun Ce realized that his second brother was too underestimated, and Sun Quan immediately ordered to cut off Sun Ce's military rations. There was a surge of supporters for Sun Quan in Jiangdong, forcing Sun Ce to consider withdrawing his troops and returning to Jiangdong.

But just when the conflict between the two brothers was already in full swing, the Ma family came to add fuel to the fire again: Yong Wang Ma Chao and Wei Wang Cao Cao jointly declared the world and only recognized Sun Quan's legal status to Jiangdong.Such an approach naturally aroused the eager opposition of His Majesty Xichuan. An imperial decree denounced King Yong and King Wei for their treasonous act of ignoring imperial power and wantonly attacking each other.It's a pity that under the oppression of almost 30 troops of the Ma family and the Cao family, such a holy order seems so powerless...

There was a wave of political activities in the land of Jiangdong resolutely to "support power and abolish policy". Many wealthy families in Jiangdong stood clearly under Sun Quan's command. Sun Ce, who was isolated in Lujiang, was helpless and devastated.And at this time, the one hundred thousand elite of the Ma family who had been stationed in Xiangyang for a month finally started the journey of the Eastern Expedition without waiting for Liu Bei's army to take action.

The news of such a sensation made the already precarious Sun Ce Group worse.Under the circumstances of internal and external difficulties, it seems that the Sun Ce regime in Lujiang will completely collapse if the Ma family army and the Cao family army combine forces to push gently.Not to mention, there have been countless riots and civil uprisings in Lujiang City.

It's a pity that things took a turn for the worse just before Ma Chao's army marched eastward.

Just when Ma Chao came out from the county guard's mansion to command the army, a group of people sat around a table in front of the window in an inconspicuous restaurant in Xiangyang City.This group of people seemed a little leisurely and slightly worried, sitting at the table and talking quietly, as if they were discussing something.

This restaurant is a typical wooden pavilion-style building, up to four floors, square in shape, with brackets on each floor supporting the waist eaves, looking out from this restaurant, you can clearly see every move of the Sheriff's Mansion and Xiangyang Street .Since today is a big day for the Ma family army to send troops, many people in Xiangyang ran to the street to give special gifts to Ma Chao, and there were only these few people on the entire third floor.Ling Xiaoer, who had to wait outside the door, was very depressed because he could not watch the mighty Ma family army from afar.

"Guess," one person asked the three people next to him, "Where will they set up an ambush? Everything is ready. If you want to assassinate, this is the last chance, but we don't know where they will do it yet."

"I guess it's the suspension bridge." One person replied, looking very young, with a kind of excitement and excitement of playing for the first time, "The suspension bridge is the narrowest section of the journey out of the city and into the camp. If it is used as an assassination site, It couldn't be more appropriate."

After saying this, everyone at the table immediately stared blankly.One of them was obviously the leader of the group, with a smile on his extremely handsome face, he patted the man on the head and said, "Assassination is a very technical thing, you just want to kill the other party, But you don’t want to escape, how can you do it? Could it be that after killing the enemy, you just wait to die? Do you think Xi Zhi is as idiotic as you for that kind of unskilled soldier?”

The young man was ashamed for a while, but he lowered his head and was irrefutable.But the one who hadn't spoken at this moment suddenly said: "I guess, Xi Zhicai will still be old-fashioned, and he will hide in a shop that has been bribed long ago on Xiangyang Street. The business development in Xiangyang has been good recently. There are many customers, but the management is not as strict as that of Chang'an, after they start there, they can easily get rid of it."

"Interesting." The leader smiled again, but in the end he vetoed the guess: "There are so many people watching the ceremony on the street today, and we can only use bows and crossbows to covertly attack in the shops, and the opportunity may disappear in a flash. It is impossible for a person who is so cautious in Xi Zhicai to choose to act in such a chaotic environment."

"Brother, where do you think Xi Zhicai will attack you?" The young man was anxious, and asked the leader directly.

"I guess, Xi Zhicai won't mess around anywhere. My plan to get out of the shell can hide it from others, but I can't hide it from his assistant in Xiangyang." Ma Chao took off the bamboo hat on his head leisurely, and completely changed his appearance. exposed to sunlight.
