Chapter 956
When entering Dongchuan, it was extremely thunderous and swift, but when it exited, it was already surging and swift like a tidal wave.

The forced march in the past few days has made the subordinates quite tired.However, Ma Chao did not dare to relax for a moment, and still challenged the limit of control, and repeatedly ordered his men to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.

In the past few days, people in the world have had a dizzying feeling about the vicissitudes of life: they originally thought that in the spring of the third year of Xingping, the revelation of "A Call to Cao Calligraphy" was already the most jaw-dropping event of the year.Unexpectedly, during the same period, the Ma family, which had been dormant for more than a year, actually sent troops south to conquer Zhang Lu.

If this is the case, the world will not be too shocked.But the subsequent development of the incident gradually became a bit unclear: there were gossip rumors that there was civil strife in Xudu, and the imperial power faction wanted to take advantage of the Yuan-Cao war to separate Yingchuan County and revive the Han Dynasty.But then Liu Xie recovered from his illness and took charge of the government, making the rumors self-defeating.The world also knows that Sikong and the imperial court are still of one mind.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao did not go all out to prepare to send troops, but sent 20 troops to Bingzhou to the west, which surprised the world.But Cao Cao's reaction was also confusing.In addition to mobilizing troops to actively resist Yuan Shao, Cao Cao actually announced to the world that he wanted to marry his eldest daughter to Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, as his wife, and form an alliance with Sun Ce.And Sun Ce readily accepted it, causing Yuan Shu to be extremely dissatisfied with Sun Ce.

What's even more interesting is that even though Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with Sun Ce, he didn't send troops to Jiangdong. Instead, after a letter of reprimand, he recommended Sun Ce as General Polu and Prefect of Kuaiji.Then raise an army of 40 and march north to Liu Bei in Xuzhou!
If it is said that these chaotic battles still make people scratch their heads, then the last blockbuster will be blew up by the Ma family: General Pang De of the Ma family Luoyang led [-] elite soldiers out of Hulao at the end of spring. Guan, crossing the Yellow River north into Hanoi, officially kicked off the prelude to the battle between the Ma family and Yuan Shao.The two families encountered each other in Yanshi, Hanoi, and after a fight, they confronted each other with the Luo River as the boundary.

All of a sudden, thieves and ants gathered from all over the world, treacherous eagles from heaven and earth, and contenders in troubled times cheered one after another.Ma Chao, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and other heroes from all walks of life appeared on the stage one by one, and the land of Kanto became the hunting ground for the heroes to compete.The whole world was completely plunged into a chaotic and disorderly conquest, and the billowing smoke of wolves floated into the sky, as if telling the misery and chaos of the world.

During this period, Ma Chao, who was on his way back to Chang'an, was shocked three times a day when he saw the frontline battle report changing three times a day.It is difficult to tell the truth about things in black and white, and he, who has experienced many battles, knows which things can hide falsehoods in the truth, and which things can hide storms in the calm. On the battlefield, winning or losing is only an instant. Don't be careless.After all, Pang De's troops were smaller than those of high-ranking cadres. Although the military situation reported in the military newspaper was not bad, Ma Chao still felt uneasy.

What's more, Yuan Shaojun's secret operations and teams have gone deep into the vicinity of Chang'an, assassination, sabotage, arson, poisoning, and various means emerge in endlessly. A group of people even sneaked into the city to assassinate the Ma family's strategists and advisers. The shadow of the net was chopped into a pulp.However, the atmosphere of tension and panic permeated the sky over Chang'an after all.

Finally, after seeing the magnificent city gate ahead, Ma Chao ordered his men to enter the city slowly.But he didn't even have time to change his armor, so he rushed to Shangshutai with his martial arts.

Soon, the important civil and military members of the Ma family gathered together. Ma Chao was not polite at the moment, and said directly to Xun You of the Ministry of War, "Yuan Shao, he took the wrong medicine? Did he really think that the Ma family had collected minions and was good at dealing with the world for a year? Do you think the Ma family is a vassal that can be bullied?!"

"My lord, it wasn't because Yuan Shao thought that the Ma family could be deceived, and perhaps because he was tricked by others, that's why he made such a move. And..." At this point, Xun You glanced around before solemnly saying: "And, if you I guessed right, it was Yuan Shao who knew that the Ma family could not be bullied, so he pretended to be ignorant, opened up the battlefield on the western front, and further tested the Ma family. After all, the Ma family is developing too fast now, and Yuan Shao is rushing to catch up with no one. After success, I had no choice but to take the risk.”

Hearing this, Ma Chao nodded slightly, and the restlessness along the way also dissipated a lot.After taking a sip of tea, he waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then he said: "Gongda is right. Yuan Shao is to the Ma family, just as the Ma family is to the Yuan family. Once upon a time, why didn't I want to pick up the window paper and talk to the Yuan family?" Yuan Shao is upright and upright in the decisive battle. However, I endured it, but Yuan Shao did not expect that his small action would cause chaos among all the princes in the Kanto region, causing the Kanto region, which was originally seemingly in harmony with the gods, to completely unravel the intricate relationship and drive it for profit. "

"That's true, but since Yuan Shao made a move, the Ma family will inevitably send troops to resist and get involved in this wave. Now the land of Kanto is full of flames and wars are raging. If the Ma family is not sure about the direction of the military strategy, they may be exhausted , faced with the enemy, and wasted life and death in this catastrophe." Yang Fu stroked his beard and spoke, bringing the meeting to the point in one sentence.

But after Ma Chao heard this, he turned his eyes to Jia Xu. Seeing that Jia Xu was still looking sick, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said, "Master Jia has made a plan for this matter, and he wrote in the letter. , the Ma family can form an alliance with Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shao together. What do you think of such a decision?"

However, Jia Xu still looked seriously ill and didn't hear clearly, and was indifferent to Ma Chao's instigation.Instead, Yang Fu took another step forward and said, "My lord, this matter has already been discussed with some people. Although Menxia Province has already signed the plan, the final decision still needs to be made by the lord."

"Oh, why did Yishan make such hesitant words? This is not like your usual calm and decisive style." Ma Chao shook his head, smiled helplessly at Jia Xu, and then looked at Yang Fu again, waiting for his response. below.

"The reason why I am like this is because at present, only Cao Cao can ally with the Ma family, and the benefits I can get from it are also the greatest. But at the same time, the risks I bear are also the highest." Yang Fu said and took out a detailed case , and presented it to Ma Chao: "The above pros and cons have been listed, and my lord will know it at a glance."

"Let's just say it, you know..."

Sure enough, Yang Fu frowned, seeing Ma Chao casually took over the detailed case, put it aside again, and said so.For Ma Chao's lazy behavior, Chen Qun told Ma Chao many times, but Ma Chao always promised every time, but never regretted it.

"Firstly, with His Majesty now in charge of the government, Yuan Shao's "Calling for Cao Calligraphy" is self-defeating. Although the Han Dynasty is declining, the world recognizes it. Standing under the banner of the Han Dynasty, the Ma family has righteousness in hand and is famous as a teacher. "

"Secondly, Cao Mengde's military skills are like a god. Although his martial arts name is lower than that of the lord and Yuan Benchu, he is resourceful and decisive, and accepts advice with an open mind. In this battle between Yuan and Cao, a certain majority agrees that Cao Cao can win."

"The third is the most important and direct point." Yang Fu said here, looking at Ma Chao with a strange look, and said, "When the lord just arrived in Chang'an, Cao Mengde's envoy also just arrived."

"You mean, Cao Cao took the initiative to form an alliance with the Ma family?" Ma Chao suddenly turned his head, feeling very surprised.

However, at this time, Jia Xu, who had been silent all this time, coughed and said, "My lord, do you think that the Cao family has other ways to survive and grow in this catastrophe besides forming an alliance with our Ma family? , if we take it a step further, Yuan Shao's marching into the army and annexing the state might not be without Cao Cao's shadow behind it..."

"Well, this is getting more and more interesting." Ma Chao knocked on the desk lightly, and asked Yang Fu with a hint of ridicule, "This time, who is the envoy sent by Cao Cao?"

"Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang!" General Yang Fu bowed his head and saluted respectfully.
