Yanshi, the military tent in Ma's house.
A dozen civil and military personnel from the Ma family sat in two rows, waiting for today's military issues.
"One hundred thousand Yuan troops were defeated by Cao Cao's divine soldiers and skillful tactics.
They decided to fight in one battle and captured more than ten Yuan family generals including Qingzhou Makian Kai and Biejia Wang Xiu.
They defeated more than 80,000 enemies and seized military supplies and war trade.
"Countless" Ma Chao, who was sitting in the seat, held the wind paper in his hand and read out the contents.
His brows couldn't help but frown: "This Cao Cao, it's okay if he doesn't take action, but when he does, it's so shocking."
Putting down the information in his hand, Ma Chao knocked on the table a few times as usual.
After sorting out the context in his mind, he asked Huang Yuan: "Has the shadow sent to deliver the letter to Mi Ning already delivered it to her?"
"It has been delivered."
Huang Yuan stepped forward to return his orders.
Seeing that Ma Chao didn't look too unhappy, he asked: "My lord, you have clearly stated that you will eradicate Liu Bei, why do you have to send a letter to Mi Ning this time?"
Order him to inform Liu Bei and tell Cao Cao that his next intention is to be in Xuzhou."
"There are no permanent enemies, no permanent friends, only permanent interests."
Ma Chao was not used to sitting for long periods of time, so he simply stood up and walked around the table twice, frowning and said slowly: "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 the same 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 were also true.
But this does not mean that the Ma family must give up its value when Liu Bei is useful.
The process of fighting for unification among the princes requires coordination and utilization, so that we can be invincible. " "Liu Bei had Yuan Tan to resist Cao Cao, so he dared to send troops to confront Yuan Shu and defend his treasured land of Xuzhou.
But Cao Cao had also coveted Xuzhou for a long time, and he had no choice but to swallow up the Ma family's plan to compete with Yuan Shao first.
Only in Xuzhou can it be possible to What's more, it can be seen from the alliance letter between him and the Ma family that he ceded Bingzhou and Jizhou to the Ma family in order to let the Ma family resist Yuan Shao for him, so that he could stay in Qing Dynasty. , Xu between vertical and horizontal."
Brother Chou was astute.
Hearing this, he already understood the five meanings and said: "My lord, I understand.
Cao Cao wants us to fight Yuan Shao Ansheng for him, so we let Liu Bei guard against Cao Cao.
Anyway, who can use each other?
No one is satisfied.”
This sentence is quite crude, but in fact, Li'er is Zhengli'er.
After hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Yes, that's what I mean.
At present, Yuan Shao has been defeated on both the western and eastern fronts.
The situation of the Ma and Cao family is relatively easy, so the two families are stumbling over each other and secretly hiding.
Let’s have a fight.”
"My lord, the alliance between Ma and Cao is the most beneficial.
The Ma family wants to penetrate the power into Guandong and compete with others.
Cao Cao wants to fish in troubled waters and dominate Qingxu.
From this, the most uneasy thing that stirs up the world is that it is his own fault.
Yuan Shao.
Now our army has 400,000 troops, marching straight to capture Bingzhou can be said to be a treasure hunt.
Why is the lord trapped in Yanshi and not taking advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Gaogan?"
Seeing that Ma Chao was worried about the war, Zhang Liao suggested.
At this time, more than ten days had passed since Ma Chao intercepted the army supplies.
After Gao Gan withdrew his troops to Gong County, the Ma family's 400,000 troops had already assembled in Yanshi, and Yan Liang's 100,000 troops had also joined Gao Gan in Gong County.
But just when the army was waiting for danger, a very strange period of peace appeared between the two families.
Ma Chao neither ordered to march into Huai County, where Hanoi was governed, nor did Yan Liang, who had become the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, come to attack Yanshi.
It seems that nearly 600,000 troops separated the two sides of the Yellow River just to watch the water and its roar.
Zhang Liao was also a general of the Ma family at this time.
After Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Tian Yu, and Pang De all performed well, he has been responsible for running the army and training, and he has the desire to fight in his heart.

"This is naturally the result of the selfish motives of the Ma and Cao families."
Ma Chao sighed and answered: "Yuan Shao was furious after losing on both fronts and vowed to take revenge on the Ma and Cao families.
Therefore, which side should he send troops to attack?
, the pressure on either side will increase.
I stationed Yanshi but could not reach the Yellow River, and sent Yang Song to Yuan Shao's command.
Naturally, I wanted to test Yuan Shao's reaction.
What a pity."
Having said this, Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh again.
Because Ma Chao and Cao Cao were too consistent in their treatment of Yuan Shao's main force, which led to an unexpected outcome.
When he sent Yang Song as his envoy, Ma Chao had no intention of killing people with a knife, but he knew that Yang Song's character and ability to buy the world for wealth and have supreme means would definitely make him a lot of trouble in the Yuan family.
Therefore, before sending Yang Song as an envoy, Ma Chao specifically let Yang Song hear about the Ma family's recent plans in order to make Yuan Shao trust Yang Song: the Black Mountain Army After Yuan Shao completely pacified Gongsun Zan, only the Black Mountain Army was in trouble.
The Black Mountain Army suffered several attacks, but could not be wiped out.
Instead, under Zhang Yan's command, there was a tendency to cede territory and enfeoff.
Zhang Yan, on the other hand, also had a vision of the overall situation.
When Ma and Cao allied forces to resist Yuan Shao, they also fought hard.
After Shadow discovered the news, Ma Chao informed Yang Song to win Yuan Shao's trust.
But later, after Yang Song initially established himself under Yuan Shao, he sent a shadow to Ma Chao to tell Yuan Shao that he wanted to send troops to attack Cao Cao.
However, Cao Cao also had a plan for this.
He even used the lovely peasant rebel brother Heishan Army to attack the Wei family in Hedong County.
With the secret support of Zhang Hei, Zhang Hei raised 100,000 troops and was ready to move, causing Yuan Shao's 400,000-strong army to attack Cao temporarily shelved.
"My lord, Yuan Shao is so shrinking and hesitant.
My lord should go all out to take down Bingzhou to show the power of our Ma family's army."
Pang De said, and in the first battle of Yanshi's defeat, Ma Chao not only did not rebuke Pang De, but Rewards based on merit.
Under such great favor, Pound wanted to fight again to repay his kindness.
"General Pang doesn't understand my lord's intentions.
Now that Yuan Shao is threatened by the Ma family, Cao Cao, and the Black Mountain Army, he is much calmer and clearer.
At this time, he is responding to the changes by remaining unchanged, gathering the army, shrinking the battle line, and waiting for the opportunity. .
If our army launches a massive attack and embezzles In Bingzhou, Yuan Shao had no choice but to make enemies of the Ma family first.
In this way, Cao Cao lost his intimidation and attacked Qing and Xu to his heart's content.
Wouldn't the Ma family be a knife in the hands of the Cao family?"
Yang Fu, a veteran strategist, or an old general.
He came closer and opened his mouth to explain for Ma Chao.
"But 400,000 troops are here, punching the cotton with heavy fists.
This kind of aggrievedness is not the style of the Ma family."
Brother Chou was impatient, although he understood the love, hatred and entangled interests of the Ma family, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao.
But it is true as he said, that feeling of suffocation is really uncomfortable.
"So, we are now in a dead situation.
If we move, we will make wedding clothes for others; if we don't move, we will waste food and grass and reduce the military power of the Ma family.
Such a dilemma is today's topic.
You all have profound wisdom, but If you have something to think about, feel free to speak."
Ma Chao spread his hands and signaled that the military discussion would get down to business and officially begin.
When talking about specific strategies to defeat the enemy, the Ma family's civil and military forces expressed their own opinions and talked endlessly.
This is the scene that Ma Chao likes to see the most.
Those foxes in the Ma family are full of evil.
If they don't pour it out and harm others, it is really a waste of natural resources.

During the military discussion, every fox had a good plan, whether it was tactics, diplomacy, military resources, national strength or even weather and terrain, and Sima Yi was particularly active.
He went from sneak attack to solid defense, and came up with more than ten plans in the blink of an eye.
Even later, he wanted Ma Chao to let him go back to Hanoi and help Ma Chao capture Hanoi County without bloodshed.
Most of the other military generals also spoke, usually the civil servants made suggestions.
The military generals considered the execution of the statement, with Yang Fu as the referee, mediating the reports, and making them available.
Yang Xiu, who was taking notes on the side, was busy with his pen and his eyesight.
Unfortunately, after talking for a long time, Ma Chao suddenly discovered that those so-called strategies were still small plans and could not solve the dilemma of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the Ma family.
Later, when the generals Huang Yuan and Fazheng were shouting, they said angrily: "No, even if you say that, it's better to kill Yuan Shao directly, and then the Ma family will launch a massive attack and completely annex Yuan Shao.
That's the best way to do it."
At this time, Ma Chao could no longer remember what bad idea Fazheng had come up with, but after hearing Huang Yuan's words, his eyes lit up, he stood up and said, "Yes, we are in a dead situation, why don't we get rid of the fire under the fire?"
Without Yuan Shao, wouldn’t everything be easily solved?”
