When entering Dongchuan, it was extremely thunderous and fast, but when exiting, it was already like a tidal wave, surging and rapid.
The forced march over the past few days had made his men quite tired.
However, Ma Chao did not dare to relax for a moment, and still challenged the limits of his command, repeatedly giving orders to encourage his men to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.
In the past few days, people in the world have been overwhelmed by the vicissitudes of the troubled times: they originally thought that the revelations about Cao Xiwen in the spring of the third year of Xingping would be the most jaw-dropping event of the year.
Unexpectedly, at the same time, the Ma family, which had been dormant for more than a year, actually directly raised troops to conquer Zhang Lu in the south.
If so, the world won't be too shocked.
But the subsequent development of events gradually became a bit confusing: there were rumors in the grapevine that there was civil strife in Xudu, and the imperial faction wanted to take advantage of the war between Yuan and Cao to gain independence from Yingchuan County and revive the Han Dynasty.
But then Liu Xie recovered from 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 the same mind.
Later, Yuan Shao did not prepare to send troops with all his strength, but instead sent 200,000 troops to the west to conquer Bingzhou, which shocked the world.
And Cao Cao's reaction was actually 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, and form an alliance with Sun Ce.
Sun Ce also readily accepted it, which made Yuan Shu extremely dissatisfied with Sun Ce.
But what's even more interesting is that even though Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with Sun Ce, he did not launch troops against Jiangdong.
Instead, after a letter of reprimand, he recommended Sun Ce as the General Polu and the Prefect of Kuaiji.
Then he mobilized an army of 400,000 and marched north to conquer Xuzhou and Liu Bei If these chaotic and endless battles are still making people scratch their heads, then the last bombshell was blown by the Ma family: Ma family's Luoyang general Pang De led 50,000 elite troops from Hulao in late spring.
Pass, crossed the Yellow River to the north and entered Hanoi, officially kicking off the war between the Ma family and Yuan Shao.
The two families met in Yanshi, Hanoi.
After a fight, they ended up in a stalemate with Luohe as the boundary.
For a time, thieves from all directions gathered, treacherous eagles flew, and those who competed in troubled times were enthusiastic.
Ma Chao, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and other heroes appeared one after another, and the land of Guandong became a hunting ground for competition among heroes.
The entire world was completely plunged into a chaotic and disorderly conquest.
The billowing smoke of wolves was floating into the sky, as if telling the misery and chaos of the human world.
During this period, Ma Chao, who was on his way back to Chang'an, saw the battle reports on the front line changing three times a day, and he was also shocked every day.
It is difficult to tell the true situation clearly with things written in black and white, and having experienced many battles, he knows which things can be true and false, and which things can be calm and stormy.
On the battlefield, winning or losing can only happen in an instant.
Don't be careless at all.
After all, Pang De's troops were smaller than those of senior officials.
Although the military situation reported in the military newspaper was not bad, Ma Chao still felt uneasy.
What's more, Yuan Shaojun's spies and teams have gone deep into the vicinity of Chang'an, assassinating, sabotaging, setting fires, poisoning, and using various methods in an endless stream.
A group of people even sneaked into the city to assassinate the Ma family's strategists and advisers.
Of course, the result was that they were secretly controlled The shadow that closed the net was chopped into pulp.
However, the tense and panic atmosphere finally filled the sky over Chang'an.
Finally, after seeing the magnificent city gate in front of him, Ma Chao ordered his men to enter the city slowly.
But he didn't even have time to change his clothes and armor, and ran directly to the Chancellor's Stand with his subordinate Wen Wu.
Soon, the important civil and military officials of the Ma family gathered together.
Ma Chao was not polite at the moment and spoke directly to Xun You of the Ministry of War: "Yuan Shao took the wrong medicine.
Does he really think that the Ma family has been collecting minions and being good at dealing with people for more than a year?"
The Ma family is a prince that can be bullied."
"My lord, it's not because Yuan Shao thought that the Ma family could be bullied, or he fell into someone else's scheme, that he would do such a thing.
And" at this point, Xun You looked around for a moment and then solemnly said: "And, if the minister guesses Not bad, It was Yuan Shao who knew that the Ma family could not be bullied, so he pretended to know nothing about it, opened up the western front battlefield, and further tested the Ma family.
After all, the Ma family was developing too rapidly, and Yuan Shao had to take risks after chasing after him in vain. ” Hearing this, Ma Chao nodded slightly, and his anxiety along the way also dissipated a lot.
After taking a sip of tea, he waved his hand for everyone to sit down, and then said: "Gongda's words are right.
Yuan Shao is to the Ma family, just like the Ma family is to the Yuan family.
Once upon a time, I didn't want to open up the window paper and talk to Yuan Shao is upright It was a decisive battle.

However, I endured it, but Yuan Shao did not expect that his small action would cause chaos among all the princes in Guandong, causing the originally seemingly inseparable Guandong to completely unravel the intricate relationships and drive for profit. " "That's true, but since Yuan Shao takes action, the Ma family will inevitably send troops to fight and be involved in this wave.
Now the land of Guandong is full of smoke and war.
If the Ma family is not sure about the direction of the military strategy, they may be exhausted. , We were attacked from both sides, and our lives were lost in this catastrophe."
Yang Fu Fusu spoke, and brought the meeting to the point.
But after Ma Chao heard this, he turned his eyes to Jia Xu.
Seeing Jia Xu still looking sick, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said: "Master Jia has already made plans for this matter.
The letter said , the Ma family can reunite with Cao Cao and attack Yuan Shao together.
What do you think of this decision?"
However, Jia Xu still looked like he was too ill to hear clearly, and was indifferent to Ma Chao's instigation.
Instead, Yang Fu took a step forward and said, "My lord, this matter has been discussed at some level.
Although the province has signed the plan, the final decision still needs to be made by the lord."
"Oh, why did Yishan say 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 him. below.
"The reason why Wei Chen is like this is because currently, only Cao Cao can be an alliance with the Ma family, and the benefits that can be obtained from it are also the greatest.
But at the same time, the risks that he bears are also the highest."
Yang Fu said and took out a detailed report , presented it to Ma Chao and said: "All the pros and cons have been listed above, and your lord will know it at a glance."
"You should just say it directly, you know" Sure enough, Yang Fu frowned and saw Ma Chao casually taking the case, then putting it aside and saying this.
Regarding Ma Chao's lazy behavior, Chen Qun didn't know how many times he told Ma Chao, but Ma Chao always promised and never regretted it.
"First, His Majesty is now back in charge of the government, which makes Yuan Shao's appeal against Cao self-defeating.
Although the Han Dynasty is in decline, the world recognizes it.
Standing under the banner of the Han Dynasty, the Ma family has great righteousness in hand and is famous for its military training."
"Secondly, Cao Mengde is a god in his military use.
Although his military reputation is lower than that of his lord and Yuan Benchu, he is good at planning and decisive, and he accepts advice humbly.
In this battle between Yuan and Cao, a certain number of people agree that Cao Cao can win."
"Third, and the most important and direct point."
When Yang Fu said this, he looked at Ma Chao with a mysterious look and said, "When my lord first 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 turned around, feeling very surprised.
However, at this time, Jia Xu, who had been silent until now, coughed and said: "My Lord, do you think that besides forming an alliance with our Ma family, there are other ways for the Cao family to survive and grow stronger in this catastrophe?
If we go one step further, Yuan Shao's invasion of the country may not have Cao Cao's shadow behind it."
"Well, this is getting more and more interesting."
Ma Chao knocked on the desk gently and asked Yang Fu with a hint of ridicule: "Who is the envoy sent by Cao Cao this time?"
"Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang."
Yang Fu lowered his head and saluted respectfully
