Yuan Shu wanted to stir up the world's attention and attack Yuzhou, so he divided his troops into two places and stationed them in Kuangting and Yingyang, intending to attack Yanzhou and Jingzhou.
It must be said that his ambition and courage are rare in this world.
And all this has indeed attracted the attention of the world.
However, this move also brought about unexpected consequences for Yuan Shu: Cao Cao sent 100,000 troops to garrison Zhencheng to confront him across the river; while Liu Biao also sent 100,000 troops to display in Anle County, forcing Yuan Shu's hometown in Yuzhou from a distance Runan; what's even more disgusting is that the Ma family actually sent troops to Hangu Pass, issued a message to fight against the rebels, and stationed in Nanyang County.
All kinds of situations began to make Yuan Shu upset.
Therefore, after he smashed several pieces of jewelry and jades, he roared angrily: "Let Liu Xiang and Lu Bu advance into the army quickly.
No matter which side takes the lead first, I will give you a lot of rewards."
The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps forward.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will be killed.
The more powerful a person is, his every move requires those soldiers at the bottom to use their blood and lives in exchange for the lord's affection.
But Yuan Shu was furious, but Ma Chao's mood gradually improved.
After sending troops to Hangu, Ma Chao truly escaped from the tragic scene of thousands of miles of red land and overflowing locust plagues, and saw the eye-catching green.
Along the way, the wheat fields are swaying and the seedlings are fragrant.
It is midsummer that breeds beautiful scenery.
Mr.
Li Zhengye was leisurely directing the work of the villagers and women in the fields.
Seeing the smoke rising from the houses in the distance, he couldn't help but smile with joy and satisfaction.
Following Hangu Road, Ma Chao has entered the border of Nanyang County.
Because they were escorting 500,000 victims along the way, the journey was slow.
It was already early July when we arrived at Lushi.
And from the secret reports placed in Kuangting area in advance, we learned that at this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu had already fought against each other.
Liu Xiang had already taken action after waiting for Yuan Shu's army to arrive and was ordered by Yuan Shu to launch a massive attack.
However, Cao Cao took action faster than Liu Xiang.
When the Ma family's alliance letter was delivered to Zhen City, Cao Cao ordered Xun Yu to mobilize soldiers and horses from all over Zhen City, pretending to be preparing for a large-scale battle, and paralyzed Liu Xiang. .
When Liu Xiang was uncertain and restless, Cao Cao personally led the elite regiment of tiger and leopard cavalry as the vanguard, quickly crossed the Pu River, and launched a lightning raid.
One day's work has been revealed.
Liu Xiang knew that Cao Cao's use of troops was quite powerful, but he did not expect that Cao Cao was so powerful.
Before they had time to express their admiration for Cao Cao, they were annihilated by Cao Cao and their heads were displayed to the public.
Cao Cao won brilliantly in the first move, but he was not complacent.
After gathering his troops and horses, he began to arrange his second move.
Cao Cao ordered his men to clear the battlefield and simply set up a formation at Kuangting to prepare for the arrival of Yuan Shu's army.
In order to confuse Yuan Shu, he did not hesitate to act like a python swallowing an elephant, threatening and humiliating Yuan Shu.
But secretly, the shadow of the Ma family has been discovered.
Cao Cao has ordered Cao Ren to lead his main army to secretly reinforce Kuang Ting as quickly as possible.
It must be said that Cao Cao used a good trick to lure the snake out of the cave.
Ma Chao secretly admired this.
Yuan Shu came from Runan, and this place was the foundation of the Yuan family.
As the legitimate son, Yuan Shu's influence in his hometown was much greater than that of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu's troops stationed in Fengqiu made the people in Fengqiu full of expectations for Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the fourth and fifth princes.
Therefore, if Cao Cao sends troops to attack without authorization, he may not be able to get a good deal.
After picking up Kuang Ting's scabies itch with one blow, Cao Cao's strategy of keeping his troops stationary and luring the enemy to attack was indeed the best choice.
"Ma Dai, send the order, set up camp, cook rice, let the soldiers and the victims rest for two hours, and then continue to move south, integrate the victims into Nanyang County, and immediately hide at the Lushi border.
Once Yuan Shu has someone with him, As soon as there is news that Cao Cao is going to war, he will attack the Lu family directly."
In this dispatch, Ma Chao used Zhang Liaoyan's Northern Cavalry and Gao Shun's camp as the main force, followed by Li Yan's and Wei Yan's two battalions of infantry, Ma Dai, Xu Rong, and Zhang Xiu's three battalions of Ma's cavalry and the first battalion of chariot troops, and finally the Zhao Yun had more than a thousand white horse righteous soldiers accompanying the army on the expedition.
As for Liang Xing, Yang Feng, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua, they are still stationed at Hulao and Sishui Pass, thinking they are the gateway to the Ma family.
And Pang De personally led a regiment to garrison in Luoyang, which was the second line of defense on the Majia front line; Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou guarded Chang'an; Xu Huang's heavily armored cavalry were not suitable for fighting due to the hot summer.

Standby at Hangu Pass.
Seeing Ma Dai running away in a hurry to deliver the order, Zhao Yun on the side said in confusion: "Meng Qi, now Cao Cao has forced Yuan Shu to take action.
The battle at Fengqiu will happen in the blink of an eye.
If Yuan Shu insists on becoming Cao Cao's enemy, he will definitely send Lu Bu back to defend.
In this case, if our army does not advance quickly and march straight in, it will lose the opportunity.
Wouldn't it be a pity?"
"Brother," Ma Chao stroked the newly grown beard on his chin and said with a smile: Zhao Yun was very resistant to this title at first.
But after Ma Chao personally came to the door and proposed that Zhao Yun accompany the army to meet Lu Bu, the tiger of the world, Zhao Yun no longer resisted this.
It was only after Xun You exposed Zhao Yun's thoughts that Ma Chao thought of being like Liu Bei and brazenly calling Zhao Yun his brother.
Since Zhao Yun wanted to continue to fight for his reputation in troubled times, Ma Chao would never stop Zhao Yun from this wish.
However, he and Zhao Yun naturally cannot compete with each other.
Firstly, Ma Chao's status has far surpassed that of Zhao Yun, so there is no need to fight with Zhao Yun; secondly, if Ma Chao wants to retain Zhao Yun, he cannot mess with the etiquette of the chief minister.
From this, Ma Chao just realized that instead of competing, they could only complement each other.
If he, as a hussar general, worships Zhao Yun as his brother, then Zhao Yun's status will definitely reach a higher level.
And Zhao Yun is not a stupid person.
After Ma Chao's shameless begging, he also saw Ma Chao's intentions.
From then on, he became like brothers to Ma Chao and Guo Jia, and his relationship with Ma Chao became increasingly close.
"Yuan Shu will not sit idly by and ignore Cao Cao's actions.
From the way he divided his troops in two places this time, we can see Yuan Shu's intention to strive for fame and prestige.
From this, Yuan Shu sends troops to attack Cao Cao.
It is not a possibility, but a certainty."
Ma Chao He smiled confidently and saw a trace of disappointment flash across Zhao Yun's face.
He couldn't help but guess that Zhao Yun was afraid of missing something.
Thinking of competing with Lu Bu, he patted Zhao Yun on the back and continued: "However, although Chao can't say that he knows Lu Bu best in the world, he can have a certain understanding of Lu Bu's temperament and psychology.
Brother feels that, With Lu Bu's bravery and the strength of an army of 50,000, will he obey Yuan Shu's orders and return to Fengqiu's aid?"
"Meng Qi is saying" Zhao Yun understood.
After listening to Ma Chao's explanation, a pair of tiger eyes shone under his beautiful face.
He couldn't help but become more eager for Lu Bu.
He nodded and sighed: "A man was born in troubled times, so he should A man like Lu Bu can only be a hero if he is not controlled by heaven and earth.
However, this man is snobbish and changeable, and he kills his father for glory.
He really does not deserve the name of a hero.
His defeat at the hands of Meng Qi is considered a clear sign of justice."
"Brother, you are ridiculous.
There is no justice in the world."
After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Ma Chao actually had some appreciation for Lu Bu.
He couldn't help but stop Zhao Yun's random thoughts and said: "I was born in troubled times.
It is to judge the situation, just like Lu Bu has nothing to do Ability and ambition, but without the vision of breaking through the world's great principles of loyalty, what's the use of being defeated twice by me.
It's not a crime of war, but it's all caused by a lack of loyalty and righteousness.
My brother thinks that this time Lu Bu didn't listen to Yuan Shu's orders. , is it possible to continue to be a general under Yuan Shu?"
After saying that, Ma Chao did not force Zhao Yun anymore, but rode his horse ahead.
Leave Zhao Yun time to think alone, hoping that Zhao Yun can see his good intentions as soon as possible.
And Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao's handsome figure flying away, and seemed to have figured something out, and murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that Yun was lectured by Meng Qi, but what Meng Qi said was indeed the words from the bottom of his heart." " s: Thanks to Xie Lian Yuexin and Jiyou 54475 for the reward, there is a reason for the late update today.
Because we want to make a small splash, naturally I will post two chapters first:
