Chapter 824 The Change of Dingtao
Although the words on the mouth are beautiful, it makes people feel emotional.But in fact, Ma Chao really has no idea about this war that is confusing and difficult to send backup.

The situation at this time is gradually becoming clearer. The Ma family, Lu Bu and others are allied to compete for Yanzhou with the alliance of Yuan Shao, Liu Xie, and Cao Cao.Among them, Ma Chao and Yuan Shao have always been very careful and forbearing, and did not cross the bottom line of raising the army in person. They just manipulated each other's chess pieces and fought on the chessboard of Yanzhou.

And this situation, for any politician, can be regarded as a contest of soft power: if Ma Chao takes the initiative to send troops from the rear of Chang'an to join the battle, then Yuan Shao, who is cornered, can only Troops were sent from Jizhou to fight against the Ma family, thus setting off a full-scale war between the two strongest princes during the Xingping period of the Han Dynasty!

Neither Ma Chao nor Yuan Shao wanted to see such a result: the two sides were like two beasts confronting each other at this moment, and neither of them was willing to take the initiative to attack until they were fully sure of killing each other with one blow.I'm afraid that when they are fighting to the death, other small princes will take the opportunity to grow stronger and benefit from it.

Therefore, the only resources that Ma Chao can use at this time are the generals under Lu Bu and Chen Gong.As for whether Chen Liu and Zhang Miao, who are apparently allied with Lu Bu, can be mobilized, that is another matter.

"Fengxian," Ma Chao opened his mouth, suddenly feeling a little guilty in his heart: above the military discussion, naturally he can no longer call Lu Bu Yuezhang.After Lu Bu officially accepted the appointment of General Ma Jiafenwu, Ma Chao could only address Lu Bu as his lord.

It's just that the complex bond between son-in-law and father-in-law that has been entangled for more than two years, coupled with Lu Bu's world-shaking fame and rebellious temperament, really made Ma Chao feel a little trembling.However, after seeing Lu Bu's frank and indifferent face, Ma Chao relaxed his mind and continued to ask: "What I need to know now is the matter of Dingtao! How did Liu Xie take advantage of that place? As a result, my plan in Chang'an Jiubu turned into a ridiculous drama!"

"My lord is saying that the chief culprit who tempted us to mistakenly attack Yuan Shao's army of honor, which led to Feng Xiangong's decline, was not Cao Cao, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty?!" Chen Gong heard that Ma Chao took the lead in saying this, and his eyes could not help showing incredible shock. Regardless of the etiquette of the master and minister, Chen Gong took a step forward, and quickly asked again: "My lord, is this information true?!"

"Although there is no definite evidence, based on the many years of confrontation between me and Liu Xie, there is no doubt that he did this." Looking at Chen Gong's expression, Ma Chao suddenly realized that he might have made a big mistake unintentionally: Chen Gong is a defender of Confucianism. , The idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor is carried through his heart in his heart.If I rashly say this today, will Chen Gong...

However, what worried Ma Chao did not happen.After hearing Ma Chao's words, Chen Gong didn't show much embarrassment on his face. Instead, he lay down on the map and pointed: "In this way, everything will make sense. Unexpectedly, the land of Xuchang , and even the emperor of the Han Dynasty made arrangements for it, no wonder Cao Cao was able to recover quickly without anyone noticing it!"

Now, Chen Gong was no longer surprised, but Ma Chao was at a loss. Seeing this, he couldn't help but leaned in front of Chen Gong, and said, "Why did Gongtai say that? What is it that made Gongtai behave like this?" Suddenly realized?!"

"My lord." At this time, Chen Gong did not show the slightest sadness and regret after hearing the news of Liu Xiechong. Instead, he pointed to the icon of Zhencheng with a happy face and said: "Before the drought and the locust disaster, Feng Xiangong and the Palace, repeatedly dispatched troops to battle wits and courage with Cao Cao. By virtue of guarding Puyang's geographical advantage and waiting for work with ease, Cao Cao's 30 army was exhausted, and there were no more than 2 left. Annex Yanzhou!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help being shocked: he had only seen a thief eating meat, but never seen a thief beating him.It turns out that Cao Cao, the traitorous hero of the first life, was in such a miserable and miserable situation under the cooperation of Lu Bu and Chen Gong!

And if all of this is as Chen Gong said, the war in Yanzhou in the early stage was so superior and gratifying, then it can be said that Lu Bu and Chen Gong are not well-known generals who complement each other with one skill and one martial arts, one is strange and the other is righteous, and they are talented and general.It's a pity that a natural disaster and man-made disaster later forced the two to be isolated and helpless, so Cao Cao turned around and defeated the two with the help of resources from all parties.

Therefore, people have to admit that the explanation of the two people's defeat in Yanzhou in history, which was not a crime of war, can be fully summarized.

"Even if natural disasters came and we retreated to Sanyang County to eat, Cao Cao was still at a disadvantage. Afterwards, we happened to get funding from the Ma family, and we had a source of food and grass, which made Cao Cao dying in terms of momentum. The matter of Ding Tao When the outbreak broke out, the strengths and weaknesses of the two armies were reversed instantly! Cao Cao mobilized [-] soldiers and horses in an instant, and made all kinds of tricks and tricks. Within more than ten days, we were dizzy and unable to react..."

Hearing what Chen Gong said, Lu Bu couldn't help showing some doubts on his gloomy face, and said, "That's right, all the changes took place after the Dingtao Incident. On that day, I received the news that Yuan Shao had united Cao Cao ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to be the vanguard. After news of sending [-] troops to attack Yanzhou, he had to prepare his troops to fight against them. However, when he arrived at the front line, he realized that it was only Yuan Shao's guard of honor to welcome the emperor. It is puzzling Yes, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and two people launched an attack on our army without saying a word..."

"The past is over and cannot be pursued again." After listening to Chen Gong and Lu Bu's narration, Ma Chao confirmed his guess even more, and at the same time understood the reason why Chen Gong was shocked: Cao Cao had been exhausted in the early stage, and his food was exhausted. Lack of skills.If it wasn't for outsiders who made trouble, how could he suddenly turn things around and come back to life?
With this understanding, Ma Chao's thinking became clearer, and he couldn't help interrupting Lu Bu: "Since Liu Xie intends to plan, he will naturally provoke Feng Xiangong and Yuan Shao from both sides. There will be shadows sending detailed information about this matter in the future." .And at the moment, what we can grasp is the current situation!"
Speaking of this, Ma Chao looked at Chen Gong worriedly - although Chen Gong has not shown signs of being foolish and loyal to the monarch so far.But Ma Chao knew that these scribes were all masters with unchanged expressions on their faces, but behind their backs.Especially this Chen Gong who has a criminal record, joined forces with Zhang Miao and Lu Bu to blow up Cao Cao's chrysanthemums, which really made Cao Cao's chrysanthemums crippled and injured all over the place...

When Chen Gong saw Ma Chao's expression, he immediately understood Ma Chao's meaning, and explained with a casual smile: "My lord, don't think that the minister is the kind of rotten Confucian who doesn't know how to adapt. As the saying goes, the people are the most important, and the community is second. The king is light. The minister still knows these principles."

After receiving Chen Gong's words, Ma Chao was relieved this time, and he couldn't help raising his evaluation of Chen Gong to two levels: the person in front of him is the wise man who really understands the Confucian way!

As a result, Ma Chao no longer had any scruples, pointed to the map confidently, and said with concentration: "When I came here, I learned that after Cao Cao captured Dingtao, he had already harvested all the nearby wheat grains. This move is both sinister and poisonous. The opportunity and condition of our breath!"

When he said this, Ma Chao himself felt a little terrified in his heart: at this moment, Lv Bu's soldiers were crippled, and they only had less than two counties in their hands.Coupled with Cao Cao's harvesting of grain and grass, it is undoubtedly even worse.

If we still use the analogy of two boxers, then the situation in front of us is that at this time, Lu Bu has been pinned to the ground by Cao Cao, and he can't hold his breath anymore.But Lu Bu was strong and strong after all, and he might not die if he just punched and kicked, so Cao Cao simply covered Lu Bu's nose again, making him completely suffocated, trying to suffocate Lu Bu to death!
"However, at the end of the day, we still have a chance." After discarding the distracting thoughts in his mind, Ma Chao's eyes suddenly burst into a strange look of determination, and he said decisively: "So far, the two families are still a battle for food and morale. In the next battle, we only need to take advantage of our losing streak and win a sudden victory to re-establish our momentum and prestige! And Cao Cao's absolute advantage will be shattered in one fell swoop until he is completely driven out of Yanzhou!"
