Chapter 921 Gift?

"Ma Mengqi's wisdom is far-reaching, and I have already learned it." Cao Cao's expression did not fluctuate much after hearing Xi Zhicai's conclusion, but he said with some admiration: "The Tuoba tribe can restrain the pace Gen, and Budugen restrained the Black Mountain Army, and the Black Mountain Army decided Gongsun Zan's demise. After Gongsun Zan's demise, Yuan Shao would definitely attack me, the Cao Clan..."

"So scheming every step of the way, thinking about it now, I'm really shocked. Looking at it now, I have some doubts. Yuan Shao can intercept that secret letter. I'm afraid there is Ma Mengqi in it." Cao Cao put down his hands leisurely. After sealing the information, his brows could not help but frown.

"My lord, my lord, is Ma Mengqi really planning to deal with our Cao family?" Xia Houyuan, who was beside him, restrained himself and asked at this moment: "We are already stretched to the limit when facing Yuan Shao alone. If Ma Mengqi is added, Wouldn't the Cao Clan be doomed?!"

Hearing Xia Houyuan's words in the room, his complexion changed drastically at the same time.In fact, hidden worries can only be fermented in the heart if not spoken out.But once the whitewashing is in front of the public, the fear in everyone's heart will completely radiate, condensing into a chilling and uneasy atmosphere-at this moment, everyone can't help but tighten their clothes tightly, as if feeling The temperature in the hall has dropped a bit.

But Cao Cao smiled lightly and waved his hand, seeming to drive the cold out of the air.Looking at Xia Houyuan, he said, "Miaocai, I really don't have much confidence in Yuan Shao and Ma Chao. As you said, if we deal with both sides at the same time, the Cao family will have to surrender. However, I just want to ask you a question. "

"I am willing to fight for the Cao family, and I will die nine times without regret!" Xia Houyuan didn't wait for Cao Cao to ask that question, he got up and knelt down in the main hall, and said with emotion.

With him taking the lead, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Li Dian and other important generals of the Cao family also knelt down in front of Cao Cao at the same time, and shouted: "I am willing to fight for the Cao family, even if I die nine times, I will die!" regret!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao saw that the generals were like this, instead of being inexplicably moved, he laughed and said, "I, Cao, don't know the loyalty of the people, but, Miaocai, do you think I want to ask you this?"

When the generals heard this, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.And Xia Houyuan, who was in charge, couldn't help but said again: "My lord, if it wasn't for this problem, what would it be?"

"I just know, you guys think, if my Cao family attacks Xuzhou with all my strength, how many months will it take to break?"

"Xuzhou, Liu Bei?"

"Ah."

Although I still don't know why Cao Cao would suddenly ask such irrelevant questions, but when he heard that his opponent was Liu Bei, Xia Houyuan suddenly became full of pride, and clasped his fists and said: "Liu Bei is really good at gaining fame, and so are his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei." Ten thousand enemies. However, Liu Bei is only a toddling boy in terms of military strategy. If the Lord is given to a certain force, within two months, someone will definitely break through the gate of Xiapi City, and capture the big Han emperor to Xuchang!"

"Great!" Cao Cao laughed loudly again, stood up and supported Xia Houyuan, and at the same time motioned everyone to return to their seats, and said, "You don't need to worry about Yuan Shao and Ma Chao, the two families will never attack our Cao family."

"This..." As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt that they were fools and could not understand what Cao Cao was saying.

After returning to his seat, Cao Cao didn't seem to want to waste his time talking, pointed at nothing, and said, "Wen Ruo, why not explain it to everyone."

The gentle and jade-like Xun Yu, after receiving Cao Cao's signal, first saluted everyone and then said: "As my lord said, our current strategic focus does not need to be on Yuan Shao and Ma Chao, but on Yuan Shao and Ma Chao. Liu Bei's body. Only after Xuzhou was conquered and the Cao family has an extended land can we talk about matters with Yuan Shao and Ma Chao."

Facing Yuan Shao's aggressiveness and Ma Chao's strategizing, a big battle is about to break out.At this time, Xun Yu even talked about the strategy and even management of Xuzhou, he really didn't know what it meant.Everyone present was almost angry, but Xun Yu has always spoken with restraint, so he just looked at Xun Yu patiently.

At this time, Xun Yu himself replied, "Why? Yuan Benchu ​​knew that Yanzhou was my base, and our army would never give up. Now that winter is approaching, there is no food for men and horses, and it is difficult to travel in ice and snow. It is time to go to war. The first is attack; although Yuan Shao pacified Gongsun Zan, Wuhuan was in the north, Xianbei was not pacified, and Youzhou was initially established, so internal strife and external worries must be taken into account.

After saying these two things, Xun Yu saw that everyone nodded in agreement, and then continued to speak: "Although Yuan Shao has great ambitions, but he is late in seeing things, we are worried about horses, so how can Yuan Shao not be afraid? I If the army is here, he can have both sides, and let us block Ma Meng's attack; if our army is not here, he will be alone. Everyone thinks that we can see the matter of Bu Dugen, so how can Yuan Benchu ​​be kept in the dark? Ma Meng Meng Qi's attitude is not clear, and Yuan Benchu ​​will definitely not move, this is the third thing he cannot attack."

After saying these three things, Xun Yu's expression became more serious, and he continued to say in a deep voice: "Think carefully, everyone, only Yuan Shao, Ma Chao, and Yuan Shu are strong in the Han situation. Yuan Shu is planning in Huainan, so don't worry too much. Yuan Shao and Ma Chao are two big crocodiles, both of them are aware of the current situation, and they both want to provoke the other side to move first, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. The opportunity we can grasp is that the two families are hesitant. Then the two families will inevitably move violently. At that time, the Cao family will seem to be among the two big crocodiles, but it will be able to do a job with ease. Sending an army east to attack Xuzhou is not like a flower in the mirror, or a moon in the water!"

High, it's too high. When everyone heard Xun Yu's remarks, they couldn't help sighing in their hearts: This analysis has analyzed Yuan Shao to the bone!
Facing the enemy, these counselors and generals only want to divide their troops to defeat them, but never think about the cause and effect of it, and what can be used.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can actually see that Xun Yu has a lot of analysis on Yuan Shao.As for the actions of the Ma family, there are very few speculations—obviously, comparing Ma Chao’s plot and Yuan Shao’s letter reprimanding them, the two stand out. Therefore, Ren Jun, the general of Diannong Zhonglang, pondered for a while, and then said:

"Xun Lingjun, Yuan Shao's side, and others all think what they said is reasonable. However, Ma Mengqi's place..." When talking about Ma Chao, Ren Jun couldn't help but paused for a moment, and then said after considering: "Ma Chao is not as good as this person. In the year of the weak crown, he unified the three states of Yongliang Division, and his mind, means, and bravery were far beyond someone's expectations. He won't be as easily provoked as Yuan Benchu, even if we provoke Yuan Shao's anger, and with the solidity of Hulao and Sishui, if Ma Chao in the Three Provinces ignores him...or in other words, Ma Chao becomes angry from embarrassment, How about sending troops directly to Yanzhou?"

As soon as these words came out, the dark clouds that had covered everyone's heads seemed to disappear and return.It was at this time that they suddenly woke up. It turned out that what they were afraid of was not Yuan Shao who was ready to move, but Ma Chao who was hiding behind and ready to choose someone to devour. This was the biggest nightmare in their hearts!

However, Cao Cao, who was sitting upright, burst into a hearty smile after hearing Ren Jun's words. He stroked his beard lightly, confidently: "Do you think that Ma Mengqi has no weakness? I'm afraid you I don't even know that Cao has been holding a trump card for Ma Chao to keep!..."

"Come here, I will send the gift I have prepared to Ma Mengqi today." Cao Cao got up and called out loudly. Everyone opened their eyes and found that it was Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, who had come to the hall and clasped his fists to lead him. Ming said: "The general will know, so prepare now."

"Okay, Ma Chao's threat is over. Now, let's discuss the recent situation in Xudu. Recently, I heard that His Majesty's dragon body is ill. I don't know what's going on at this time?..." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled. , looked at Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai with great interest.

But everyone's eyes still fell on Cao Ang's back: what kind of gift could make Cao Cao so sure that Ma Chao would not do anything to Cao?
