Chapter 985
Yanshi, the military tent of Majia.

More than a dozen civil and military members of the Ma family sat in two rows, waiting for today's military issues.

"One hundred thousand yuan troops were descended from the sky by Cao Cao's magical soldiers and cleverly used tactics. It was determined in the first battle that they captured more than ten Yuan family generals under Qingzhou Mutiankai and Biejia Wangxiu. They defeated more than [-] enemies and seized military resources and war trade. Countless..." Ma Chao on the front seat took the Fufeng paper in his hand and read out the content leisurely, frowning: "This Cao Cao, if you don't do it, you will die, but if you do it, it will be so shocking!"

Putting down the information in his hands, Ma Chao habitually knocked on the table a few times, and after sorting out the context in his mind, he asked Huang Yuan first: "Has the shadow sent to Mi Ji delivered the letter to her yet?"

"It has already been delivered," Huang Yuan stepped forward to return, seeing that Ma Chao's expression was not too unhappy, he asked, "Master, you have clearly stated that you will eradicate Liu Bei, why did you send the letter to Mi Fan this time? Tell Liu Bei to tell Cao Cao that his next move is in Xuzhou?"

"There are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent friends. There are only permanent interests." Ma Chao was not used to sitting for a long time, so he simply stood up and walked around the case twice, frowning and slowly said: "The Ma family and the Cao family, the Cao family The Yuan family and the Yuan family, the Yuan family and Liu Bei, generally speaking, these families are now in a battle group. The final result is also very clear, that is, one of them annexed the remaining three. So my angry words at that time , but it is also true. But this does not mean that the Ma family must give up Liu Bei's value when he is useful, and the process of fighting for unification among the princes needs to be adjusted and used, so that they can be invincible."

"Liu Bei had Yuan Tan to resist Cao Cao, so he dared to send troops to fight Yuan Shu and defend his treasured land in Xuzhou. But Cao Cao had coveted Xuzhou for a long time, and he had no choice but to swallow the Ma family's plan to compete with Yuan Shao first. Only Xuzhou can grow and develop in the gap between the two powers. Moreover, from the alliance letter between him and the Ma family, it can be seen that he ceded Bingzhou and Jizhou to the Ma family, and his purpose was to let the Ma family resist Yuan Shao for him. , so that he can move freely between Qing and Xu."

Brother Chou was quick-witted. When he heard this, he already understood the five flavors, and said, "My lord, I understand. Cao Cao wants us An Ansheng to fight Yuan Shao for him, so let Liu Bei guard against Cao Cao. Anyway, if we use each other, who will use it?" Doesn't make anyone happy."

This sentence is rough, but in fact, Li'er is just right.After Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "That's right, that's what it means. At present, Yuan Shao has been defeated on both the western and eastern fronts, and the situation of Ma and Cao is relatively easy, so the two families are stumbling each other and hiding in secret Fight it out."

"My lord, between Ma Cao and Ma Cao, this is the most beneficial alliance. The Ma family wants to infiltrate the Kanto region and compete against other heroes. Cao Cao wants to take advantage of troubled waters and fight against others. As a result, the most disturbing person is Yuan Shao, who has taken the blame for himself. Now that our army has 40 troops, going straight to capture Bingzhou can be said to be a search for something, why is my lord stuck in Yanshi, and not taking advantage of the victory to pursue the high-ranking officials?" Seeing that Ma Chao was worried about the war, Zhang Liao suggested.

At this time, more than ten days have passed since Ma Chao intercepted the army rations. After Gao Gan withdrew his troops to Gong County, the Ma family's 40 troops had already assembled in Yanshi, and Yan Liang's [-] troops also joined Gao Gan in Gong County. .But when the army was ready to fight, a very strange period of 'peace' appeared between the two families at this time.

Ma Chao neither ordered to march into Huai County, the prefecture of Hanoi, nor did Yan Liang, who had become the commander of the western front, come to attack Yanshi.It seems that nearly 60 troops separated the two sides of the Yellow River just to watch the water and enjoy the waves.Zhang Liao was also a general of the Ma family at this time. After Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Tian Yu, and Pang De had performed outstandingly, he had been in charge of military drills, and he had a desire for war in his heart.

"Of course, this is the result of the selfishness of the Ma and Cao families." Ma Chao sighed, and answered, "Yuan Shao's defeat on two fronts is naturally already burning with anger, and he vowed to take revenge on the Ma and Cao families. So, which side will he send troops to attack?" , the pressure on either side will increase. I was stationed in Yanshi but not the Yellow River, and I sent Yang Song to Yuan Shao's subordinates. Naturally, I wanted to test Yuan Shao's reaction. It's a pity... hey!"

Having said that, Ma Chao couldn't help but sighed again.Because Ma Chao and Cao Cao were too consistent in their treatment of Yuan Shao's main force, which led to a wrong ending.

When sending Yang Song as envoy, Ma Chao didn't intend to use a knife to kill people, but he knew that Yang Song's character and ability of buying the world for money and having incomparable means would definitely make him a lot of work with the Yuan family.Therefore, before sending Yang Song as envoy, in order to make Yuan Shao trust Yang Song, Ma Chao deliberately let Yang Song hear about Ma's latest plan: Black Mountain Army!

After Yuan Shao completely pacified Gongsun Zan, only the Black Mountain Army was in trouble.The Black Mountain Army has been attacked several times, but it has not been wiped out repeatedly. Instead, under Zhang Yan's command, there is a tendency to cede territory.As for Zhang Yan, he also had a vision of the overall situation. When Ma and Cao's allied forces rejected Yuan Shao, he also fought hard.After Shadow detected the news, Ma Chao told Yang Song to win Yuan Shao's trust.

But later, after Yang Song initially established himself under Yuan Shao, he sent a shadow to send a letter to Ma Chao, telling Yuan Shao that he wanted to send troops to attack Cao, but Cao Cao also had a plan for this. With Wei's secret support, Zhang Hei raised 40 troops and was ready to move, which caused Yuan Shao's [-] troops to attack Cao's plan to temporarily run aground.

"My lord, Yuan Shao is so timid and hesitant. My lord, I should go all out and take down Bingzhou to show my Ma family's military power!" Pang De said, and Ma Chao not only did not reprimand Pound during the defeat of Yanshi in the first battle, On the contrary, it is rewarded for meritorious deeds.Under such great favor, Pang De wanted to repay his kindness by fighting again.

"General Pang doesn't understand my lord's intentions. Now that Yuan Shao is troubled by the Ma family, Cao Cao, and the Black Mountain Army, he is already calm and clear. At this time, he is responding to all changes with the same attitude, gathering the army, and shrinking the front line, waiting for the opportunity If our army aggressively invades and annexes the prefecture, Yuan Shao will have no choice but to fight against the Ma family first. In this way, Cao Cao loses his deterrence and attacks Qing and Xu to his heart's content. Isn't the Ma family holding the knife for Cao's?" Veteran counselor Yang Fu, still closer to the veteran general, opened his mouth to explain for Ma Chao.

"But the 40 army has come here, and they are pounding on the cotton. This kind of aggrieved, how can it be the style of the Ma family?" The ugly brother was impatient, although he understood the love, hatred, and interests of the Ma family, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao. entanglement.But as he said, that kind of aggrieved feeling is really uncomfortable.

"So, we are now in a deadlock. If you move, you will make wedding clothes for others; if you don't move, you will waste food and grass, and lose the power of the horse's army. Such a dilemma is today's topic. You have far-reaching wisdom, but If you have something to think about, feel free to speak up." Ma Chao spread his hands, signaling the military discussion to get down to business and officially begin.

When it comes to specific strategies to defeat the enemy, Ma Jiawen and Wu each express their opinions for a while, eloquently.This is the scene that Ma Chao likes to see the most. Those foxes in Ma's family are full of bad water, and they don't pour it out to harm others.In terms of military discussions, no matter in terms of tactics, diplomacy, military resources, national power or even weather and terrain, all foxes have good strategies, and Sima Yi is particularly active. He has come up with more than ten plans in a blink of an eye from sneak attack to defense.Even later, he wanted Ma Chao to let him go back to Hanoi, and wanted to help Ma Chao take down Hanoi County without bloodshed.

Most of the other military generals also opened their mouths. Generally, civil servants made decisions. The military generals considered the execution of explanations, and took Yang Fu as the referee to mediate and report.Unfortunately, after talking for a long time, Ma Chao suddenly discovered that those so-called strategies were still sub-plans, and could not solve the dilemma of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the Ma family.

Until later, when the generals Huang Yuan and Fazheng were yelling, he said angrily: "No, just no! If you say that, it's better to kill Yuan Shao directly, and then the Ma family will attack and annex Yuan Shao completely. Only in this way..."

At this time, Ma Chao couldn't remember what bad idea Fazheng came up with, but after hearing Huang Yuan's words, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up and said, "Yes, we are stuck in a dead end, why don't we draw the bottom line? Killing Yuan Shao, isn't everything easy to solve?!"
