Regarding Xi Zhicai's abuse, Zhao Yu did not answer, but whispered to Tai Shici beside him: "Shoot this guy to death." ”For the lord's orders, as a general, he must obey his words, and for Zhao Yu's sudden order, Tai Shici did not hesitate at all, and took the bow with his left hand, the arrow with his right hand, and the bow and arrow in one go.Hearing a sound break through the air, the skilled generals in Cao's army rushed towards Cao Cao's side one after another to prevent the enemy from sneaking up.But I didn't want to let out a "poof" A figure fell down from the horse, everyone was looking at Cao Cao but he was safe and sound, and when he was in a daze, he only heard Cao Cao shout bitterly: "Zhicai Zhao Yu, you dare to let go of the cold arrow." ”Zhao Yu smiled coldly: "Thank you Prime Minister for your appreciation, if the Prime Minister goes back quickly at this moment, maybe this person can still be saved."
If we start fighting now, I guarantee this guy will die. ”In the face of Zhao Yu's words, Cao Cao was full of anger, but he was helpless, and hurriedly yelled at the generals beside him: "Go back quickly, quickly" At this time, everyone reflected, and turned over and divided into two groups, respectively protecting Cao Cao and Xi Zhi, who was unconscious by the arrow, and ran towards the safety of the second camp.Looking at the back of Cao Jun hurrying away, Zhao Yu said coldly: "Ziyi, that guy won't come back to life." ”Tai Shi Ci hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the last general will shoot an arrow through his heart from behind, even the gods will not be able to save him."
If he lies still, maybe he can catch a few more breaths, if he gallops on horseback like this, I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, he will lose too much blood and hang up because of the bumps. ”After listening to Tai Shici's words, Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction and then turned over and said: "Okay, go back and remember your merits, although Cao Cao has left, but we are not safe here, immediately raise troops and return to the city, and bury the old general Ma Teng." ”"Yes."
Under Zhao Yu's arrangement, the group returned to Jizhou in a mighty way, although the result was a little different from what he imagined for Zhao Yu.took Yu Ban and Mao Jue to exchange Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, but in fact, he suffered a little, after all, in history, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu had very few appearances and had no achievements.Therefore, Zhao Yu has no way of knowing what their abilities are, and the martial arts of the two are definitely inferior to Ma Chao and Pang De.But as long as it can be almost the same as Ma Dai or Ma Yunlu, it can be regarded as a small general, and the biggest receipt of this exchange of hostages is to exchange Ma Teng for the life of Xi Zhicai.Although this matter was ordered by Tai Shici to carry out a sneak attack because of his anger, the importance of Xi Zhicai to Cao Cao is by no means ordinary in terms of Cao Cao's performance and attitude.After thinking about it carefully, he still earned it, but this time he publicly tore his face with Cao Cao.After returning to Jizhou, Zhao Yu asked Ma Tie and Ma Xiu to arrange a residence while sending someone to hold a burial for Ma Teng.Although Ma Teng is very prestigious in Xiliang, he is in Jizhou at this time, and there are not many people in Jizhou who have a relationship with the Ma family.However, due to Zhao Yu's personal participation in this matter, some people with heads and faces in Jizhou came to pay tribute, and as for Zhao Yu's important civil and military generals, they all took the initiative to come.After seeing Zhao Yu's attention to the Ma family and knowing that Zhao Yu and the Ma family were originally friends of the alliance, some slightly intelligent merchants generously paid out of their own pockets to make Ma Teng's funeral beautiful.Some people even gave one of their own properties to Ma Xiu and others, which can be regarded as finding a place for Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Yunlu and others.Of course, Zhao Yu also guessed that the purpose of these things was to take this opportunity to climb into the Jizhou military, although it was impossible to enter it, but it was somewhat familiar.Gathering a certain general here, anything in the future can also be convenient, for this matter, of course, Zhao Yu turned a blind eye.Anyway, the three brothers and sisters of the Ma family have been ruined, and if they want to reorganize the family, they must have a support in Jizhou, and their connections or financial resources are indispensable.But for the three of Ma Xiu, all of this was under Zhao Yu's orders, and the Ma clan, which was originally high, plummeted in an instant, but they didn't want Zhao Yu to care about these at all, and fully accepted their down-and-out self, so the gratitude of the three to Zhao Yu turned into submission.In everyone's heart, Zhao Yufeng is his lord, and only by working hard for him can he repay this kindness, the three of them are like this, and so is Pang De.So this move is a grand slam for Zhao Yu, and the only pity is that Ma Chao and Ma Dai did not come.Zhao Yu is arranging a funeral for Ma Teng, and Cao Jun is also arranging a zombie for an important character, Xi Zhicai.As far as Tai Shici said, his arrow killed Xi Zhicai, and on the way back with all his might, Xi Zhicai had already died and died.The heartbroken Cao Cao ordered the burial of Xi Zhicai, and for a while both sides were in a state of air condensation, and their respective gunpowder smells full.Everyone thought that the big war was imminent, but they didn't want the two lords of the world, Zhao Yu and Cao Cao didn't say a word about it, and all the targets were gathered elsewhere.The people below naturally didn't dare to ask more, Cao Cao accelerated the development of the troops, stabilized the rear, and formed a very strong and stable bunker in Liangzhou, Sili, and Bingzhou.Yanzhou and Yuzhou also sent heavy troops to take precautions, and some loyal ministers of the Cao army found a problem, their lord wanted to move the capital, and this decision was both a good and a bad thing for the current Cao army.The good thing is that the current capital is too close to Jizhou and other places, which is very unsafe, and once a big war breaks out in the future, the enemy army may break through the capital at any time.The bad thing is that moving the capital is not child's play, and it takes a lot of time to act, but it seems that there is still an intention to show weakness to the enemy, so the most nervous person since this is Zhang Lu's Hanzhong.Because once Cao Cao wants to move the capital, for the sake of safety, he must choose Liangzhou, which is very close to Hanzhong, and Cao Cao's style will inevitably solve the surrounding threats.Not long after, Feng Ji and Yan Liang led a thousand troops to inspect the country, and the three small countries of Fuyuguo, Lulou, and Goguryeo all turned around.After the three small countries that had been conquered before, they were like frightened birds at this moment, especially when Yan Liang and Feng Ji arrived at the state capital with thousands of elite soldiers.Those so-called kings had already been frightened and led all the officials out of the city to greet them, for fear that one of them would offend these people and come to slaughter the city.However, Yan Liang and Feng Ji also responded to Zhao Yu's order, and did not embarrass these people, and sold the old weapons and armor of the three states into three batches to the Three Kingdoms.Although the kings of various countries were dissatisfied with this matter, they could only swallow their anger and could only buy them at a high price in the face of several carts of weapons and armor that were forcibly sold.As for those who did not have enough funds, they took out the corresponding precious items to offset the money, and in this way, thirty carts of old armor and old weapons were exchanged for countless money, furs, pearls, antique cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and other things.With this huge part of the funds, the problem of tight military spending for the navy was suddenly solved.Just when Cao Cao was bothering about internal consolidation, Jizhou received a letter, as well as a large number of mulberry silk, bronze mirrors, tea and other specialties, as well as ten Jiangdong singing and dancing beauties.Zhao Yu was not very interested in these things, but it was the letter, a letter that surprised Zhao Yu, this is a letter from Jiangdong.The person who signed the letter was Sun Quan, who wanted to invite Zhao Yu and others to Jiangdong to enjoy the scenery and taste tea, and become friends of the alliance.Zhao Yu was very surprised by this matter, and he didn't expect Sun Quan to suddenly send him an invitation letter at this time.Zhao Yu couldn't come up with an idea for a while, so he threw the question to everyone, "What do you think of this matter, after Jiangdong Sun Quan inherited the position of power, he sent an invitation letter for the first time, and you said that we should go or not." ”Feng Ji, who had just returned from outside, participated in this kind of meeting for the first time, and immediately took the lead in saying: "My lord, the minister thinks that Sun Quan sent an invitation this time mainly because he is afraid of the strength of our army, and he wants to make peace with me. ”In the previous Yuan Shao military camp, the relationship between trial and Feng Ji would never have a common language, but since the two defected to Zhao Yu, they have never had a common language: "The trial also agrees with this, the Jiangdong Sun clan is obviously afraid of the might of our army after seeing that our army has captured Xuzhou, and is afraid that the main guild will take advantage of the situation to attack Yangzhou, so they have the intention of forming an alliance." ”Although it is reasonable to deal with the words of Feng Ji and the trial, Chen Gong is more concerned about the movements of Cao Cao, another strong enemy, so he said: "Although the Jiangdong Sun clan has ulterior motives for our army, this matter must not be ignored, and the lord can take this opportunity to explore the details of Sun Quan and the situation in Jiangdong."
If the lord refuses Sun Quan's invitation this time, I am afraid that the next step will be for Cao Cao to form an alliance with Sun Quan, and it will be dangerous for the two armies to unite to encircle our army. ”Xun Yu couldn't help but speak: "Gongtai's words are very true, although Cao Cao is spending all his energy on defense and rectification at the moment, he is always on guard against our army.Once Cao Cao is allowed to form an alliance with Sun Quan, then our army will face a great threat. ”As soon as Dian Wei heard that the ministers were so worried about that Jiangdong, he was very angry in his heart: "Hmph, just one Jiangdong dares to put up a stand against our army, and our army is directly under the command of Xuzhou, and within a few days it will capture the entire Yangzhou, and I am afraid of him." ”Seeing Dian Wei's anger, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "General Dian is right, the Jiangdong Sun clan is indeed not to be afraid.But if our army and Sun Quan are launched at this moment, the most proud will be Cao Cao, although it is impossible to stop our army from advancing with Sun Quan's troops.However, it is impossible for our army to capture Jiangdong in a short period of time, and once the war is prolonged, it is difficult to guarantee that Cao Cao will not make any small moves in the back.If something goes wrong in the middle, I'm afraid that those barbarians in Mobei and the grassland will quickly smell the smell of blood and rush to pounce. ”Zang Ba, who is also bloody, also said unhappily: "Hmph, if that's the case, we just need to stay still and don't let that Jiangdong kid succeed." ”:
