"It's done."
Ma Chao picked up his fine brocade robe and put it aside reluctantly: Since he planned to enter Xuzhou in disguise this time, Ma Chao couldn't wear it too conspicuously.
In particular, he believed that a man as charming as him was like a firefly in the night or a beetle in the field.
He was so outstanding, especially those melancholy eyes, messy hair, and handsome and handsome horse like a dragon.
And the Coiling Dragon and Crouching Tiger Spear wrapped several layers of cloth had betrayed him deeply.
If he were to wear this iconic splendid jersey again and pay a private visit incognito, I am afraid that countless mature women and young women would be filled with hysterical yearning and resentment on the journey from Chang'an to Xuzhou.
Looking at Ma Chao's reluctant and resentful eyes, Tang Xiaomi already felt that the sky was no longer clear.
A few days ago, the unsolved cases that he and Mu Yuanfeng mobilized all the top masters in the shadows to create seemed to be nothing more than a passing cloud.
The love, hatred and resentment in his eyes seemed to be covered by a brocade robe: How did he become blind in the first place and follow such a master?
"My Lord, you will have to reveal your identity sooner or later in Xuzhou.
You'd better hide this brocade robe and take it away."
As a man, Mu Yuanfeng couldn't stand Ma Chao's narcissism.
After saying this, , quickly changed the subject and said: "The matter in Jizhou has been handled according to the Lord's instructions.
And according to the news from Shandu, Yuan Shao once again asked Cao Cao for hostages after this incident."
"Oh" Ma Chao happily folded up the brocade robe in his hand and put it into the package.
He turned around and smiled: "Yuan Shao made a move so quickly.
Isn't it true that he is always slow to see things happen?"
"My lord, where did you hear the rumor that Yuan Shao was late to resolve the matter?"
Seeing Ma Chao's dazzling smile, Tang Xiaomi couldn't bear it anymore and spoke angrily, without any respect and etiquette: Anyway, sometimes, with What Ma Chao said was completely unnecessary.
In fact, many confidants close to Ma Chao have always had a good grasp of when to be cautious and when to make mistakes.
However, after Tang Xiaomi finished speaking, Ma Chao became a little serious.
After throwing a few more pieces of clothing at random, he left the pile of salutes.
As soon as Ma Chao left, a servant immediately came to tidy up Ma Chao's clothes.
In other words, Ma Chao tidied up his clothes on a whim, just looking for trouble.
"If my guess is correct, then the hostages Yuan Shao wants from Cao Cao this time should not be Cao Cao's family members, but our Han Dynasty Emperor."
Ma Chao sat back down, raised his chin with his right hand, and spoke thoughtfully. road.
Ma Chao said that Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao for hostages, which was an interesting thing that happened before Mu Yuanfeng and Tang Xiaomi entered Jizhou.
It was that incident that gave Ma Chao an opportunity to drive a wedge between Liu Xie, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao.
Since the arrival of locusts and drought, both Lu and Cao have been troubled by the dilemma of tens of thousands of people waiting for food with their mouths open.
Such a situation is not something that can be dealt with by some clever ideas or rhetoric.
The food and grass are about to be exhausted, and the army is not far from collapse.
This extremely simple common sense swirls in the heads of the two of them, making them both sleepless at night.
However, Lu Bu soon lost his worries: as soon as he left Hulao Pass, he passed Zhongmou and was Chenliu.
The Ma family's supply of food and grass to Lu Bu was unimpeded and timely and sufficient.
Lu Bu, who received the support of the Ma family, quickly regrouped and accelerated his recovery.
With the strong troops and horses, it looks like a big fight.
For Cao Cao, this situation was like a rainy night: obviously, once the drought and locust plague came, Lu Bu and Cao Cao were no longer competing on military strategies, but on pure recovery warfare.
Between two tired boxers lying on the ground, whoever recovers first will be able to seize the initiative and deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
Watching Lu Bu recover step by step with the support of the Ma family, Cao Cao was worried.
It was at this time that Comrade Yuan Shao sent a letter, saying that Brother Cao, you can't hold on anymore, it doesn't matter, I will protect you and send your family members to my territory, Yecheng.
What does it mean to ask Cao Cao to submit to his banner.
The usual approach is to take your family members as hostages, and I will control them and solve your problems.
But in the future, you must listen to my orders, otherwise the tragedy of family destruction and death will be waiting for you.
The strategy of conquering Xuzhou was not feasible, and was refuted by Comrade Xun Yu in stern words.
Instead of going bankrupt due to running out of food, it would be better to surrender to Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao, who was depressed, might want to leave it at that.
But this was another big plan under Cao Cao, and Comrade Cheng Yu disagreed.
He directed his eloquence at Cao Cao and said, General, you may be intimidated by the difficulties in front of you, but you should not make such a decision no matter what.
Yuan Shao has the intention to annex the world, but his strategy is insufficient and it is impossible to realize his ideal.
How can you be willing to succumb to such a person?
We now have three bases in Zhencheng, Fancheng and Dong'a and tens of thousands of troops.
General, with your martial arts strategy, coupled with the assistance of Xun Yu and me, we will definitely be able to overcome difficulties and achieve hegemony.
I hope General will consider it carefully.
At this time, Cao Cao was like a rat in a bellows, suffering from both ends.
But good people are good people.
In such a difficult situation, Comrade Cao Cao gritted his teeth and endured it.
In the end, Comrade Xun Yu had a plan and asked Cao Cao to send troops to travel around the surrounding areas to plunder the mountain bandits and rat thieves who had resurrected in the Yellow Turbans.
Cao Cao personally led the troops and returned with several great victories and snatched back some gold, silver and grain.
However, this is just a trivial matter for a mouse to marry a wife.
It can only solve a temporary emergency, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem.
However, at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly showed kindness and asked the major merchants in Jizhou to raise 300,000 stones of grain and grass and sent it to Cao Cao.
After receiving the news, Ma Chao immediately looked at Yuan Shao with admiration.
In addition, last time Yuan Shao ignored his past grievances and made good friends with Xuzhou Liu Bei, Ma Chao discovered that he might have some sympathy for the Yuan Shao in history who was fierce and timid, always scheming, who did great things but spared his life, and who forgot his life when he saw small profits.
Big misunderstanding.
Not to mention anything else at this moment, just saying that Yuan Shao can still send troops and rations to support Cao Cao's affairs this time even if he fails to ask for hostages from Cao Cao, is enough for Ma Chao to get rid of history's definition of Yuan Shao's incompetence.
It is obvious that Cao Cao has gradually broken away from Yuan Shao's control and started his own business.
But for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao still prefers him no matter what.
Leaving Cao Cao in Yanzhou completely blocked Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's military front for Yuan Shao, allowing Yuan Shao to conquer Gongsun Zan and the Black Mountain Army without any worries.
Such geographical advantages and the advantages of external princes, for Yuan Shao, the gains outweigh the losses.
From this point of view, Yuan Shao is at least a person with great vision and decisive decision-making.
As for the previous extortion of Cao Cao's hostage, although it was a bit low-key, in Ma Chao's view, if he were in Yuan Shao's position, he would do the same.
At least, Cao Cao now looks like a dying jujube tree.
There are no jujubes.
It is always appropriate to hit three poles with dates.
It was Yuan Shao who hoodwinked Cao Cao and took advantage of him by extracting jujubes and trapping Cao Cao's family.
It didn't hurt that he couldn't extract jujubes.
Cao Cao was a human shield anyway, and he couldn't let Cao Cao die at this time.
It can also be seen from this that the evaluation of Yuan Shao's greed for fame and face in the history books is also inappropriate: in the face of sufficient interests, Yuan Shao can completely tear his face and reveal his blazing ambitions for the princes, and he is not afraid of the world saying that he is taking advantage of others. .
Ma Chao, who came to this understanding, was not only slightly shocked, but also felt a little bit lucky in his heart: Fortunately, he saw through Yuan Shao's true face at this time.
Otherwise, if you continue to be blindly arrogant when you confront Yuan Shao in the future, wouldn’t it be too late to regret it?
As a result, Ma Chao secretly made some changes to the alienation plan he had planned before: in addition to letting the rich and handsome brother be a troublemaker again, he also asked the shadow general Yuan Shao of Jizhou to do the same.
The big cesspools in Yanzhou were connected together, and they were all stirred up together.
Therefore, Li Zihao, who was on vacation at home, received a message from Ma Chao, and Mu Yuanfeng and Tang Xiaomi also infiltrated the Zhen family and created the unsolved case of burning the granary.
And now it seems that even though Yuan Shao, Liu Xie, and Cao Cao may know that they have been tricked, driven by human selfishness, they have to start taking measures to protect themselves.
At least, the fact that Yuan Shao once again asked Cao Cao for hostages, and specifically for the Han emperor, speaks volumes.
"Liu Xie will never be kidnapped as a hostage by Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is even less likely to give up this trump card.
It seems that the three families will at least give up until they are completely torn apart."
Ma Chao reasoned as he knocked lightly on the desk.
Looking at the trends of the three companies, he couldn't help but feel happy at the end: "From this point of view, this opportunity is the best opportunity for me to join Xuzhou and join forces with Liu Bei." s: Tearfully thank Buzhou Qijian for the reward, but why don’t you reply to my QQ messages recently:
