Chapter 642 Soldiers Out of the Valley

Yuan Shu wanted to provoke the world's attention to release Yuzhou, but his troops were divided into two places, stationed in Kuangting and Yingyang, and wanted to attack Yan and Jingzhou. His ambition, I have to say, is rare in the world. And all this has indeed attracted the attention of the world.

However, this move also brought Yuan Shu's unexpected consequences: Cao Cao sent 100,000 troops and stationed in Zhencheng, across the water; and Liu Biao also sent 100,000 troops to display and Anle County, forcing Yuan Shu's old nest Runan; what's more hateful is that the Ma family actually sent troops to Hanguguan to fight against the peaceful thief and station in Nanyang. County!

Various situations began to upset Yuan Shu. Therefore, after smashing a few pieces of jewelry and jade fiercely, he roared angrily, "Let Liu Xiang and Lv Bu march into the army quickly. No matter which side gets the first, this general will be rewarded!"

The man was angry and the blood splashed five steps. When the emperor is angry, there are millions of corpses. The more powerful he is, the more powerful he needs those soldiers at the bottom to exchange blood and lives for the Lord's affection.

But Yuan Shu was furious, but Ma Chao's mood gradually improved. Since sending troops to Hangu, Ma Chao has truly escaped from the tragic scene of thousands of miles and locust floods and saw the eye-catching green. On this way, the wheat field shakes and the seedlings are fragrant, which is the beautiful scenery in midsummer. Many Masano leisurely commanded the peasant women in the field. Looking at the houses in the distance that were cooking smoke, they couldn't help smiling happily and contentedly.

Along the Hangu Road, Ma Chao has entered the border of Nanyang County. Because 500,000 disaster victims were escorted along the way, the journey was slow. After arriving at Lu's, it was already the beginning of July. And it was learned from the shadow report placed in the area of Kuangting in advance that at this time, Cao and Yuan Shu had already started to fight.

Liu Xiang had already made a move when Yuan Shu's army had not arrived and was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack. However, Cao Cao did it faster than Liu Xiang. When the alliance letter of the Ma family was sent to Zhencheng, Cao ordered Xun Yu to mobilge soldiers and horses everywhere in Zhencheng and put on a look of preparing for a large-scale battle, paralyzing Liu Xiang. When Liu Xiang was uncertain and restless, Cao Cao personally led the elite army of tigers and leopards as pioneers, quickly crossed the water and used lightning raids.

One day's work has been revealed. Liu Xiang knew that Cao Cao was so powerful, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so powerful. Before he could express his admiration for Cao Cao, he was annihilated by Cao Cao and showed his head to the public.

Cao Cao won the beauty firsthand, but he was not complacent. After collecting the heavy troops, he began to arrange his second move.

Cao Cao ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and simply arrayed in Kuangting in case Yuan Shu's army came. In order to confuse Yuan Shu, he did not hesitate to pose a python swallowing elephants and intimidating and insulting Yuan Shu. However, secretly, the shadow of the Ma family has found out that Cao Cao has ordered Cao Ren to lead his main army to secretly reinforce Kuangting as soon as possible.

I have to say that Cao Cao made a good trick to draw the snake out of the hole.

Ma Chao secretly admired this. Yuan Shu came from Runan, which is the foundation of the huge family of the Yuan family. As the legitimate son, Yuan Shu's influence in his hometown is far greater than that of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu's troops in Fengqiu made the people around Fengqiu full of expectations for Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the fourth and fifth princes. Therefore, if Cao Cao sent troops to attack without authorization, he may not be able to please him. After picking the itch of Kuangting scabs, Cao Cao's strategy of attracting troops to move and lure the enemy to attack was indeed the best choice.

"Ma Dai, pass the order, camped, opened the pot to make rice, let the soldiers and disaster victims rest for two hours, and then continued to march south. After migrating the victims into Nanyang County, he immediately hid at the Lu's border. Once Yuan Shu had a movement to fight with Cao Cao, he immediately took it directly. Lushi!"

This time, Ma Chao took Zhang Liaoyan's northern cavalry and Gao Shun as the main army, followed by Li Yan, Wei Yan's two battalions of infantry and Ma Dai, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu's three battalions Ma's iron cavalry and the first battalion of chariot troops, and finally Zhao Yun's more than 1,000 white horses went out with the army. As for Liang Xing, Yang Feng, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, they are still stationed at the Tiger Prison and Shui Pass, thinking that they are the gateway to the Ma family. Pang De personally led a regiment of Ma's army and stationed in Luoyang, which was the second line of defense on the front line of the Ma family; Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou guarded Chang'an; Xu Huang's heavy armored iron horse under his tent was not suitable for fighting due to the hot summer, so he was on standby at the Hangu Pass.

Seeing that Ma Dai hurriedly ran away from the order, Zhao Yun was puzzled and said, "Meng Qi, now Cao Cao has forced Yuan Shu to take action, Fengqiu's battle, and blinked. If Yuan Shu insists on being the enemy of Cao Cao, he will definitely transfer Lv Bu back to the army to defend. In this way, if our army does not advance quickly, **, it will lose the first opportunity. In this case, won't it be a pity?"

"Brother," Ma Chao stroked the new velvet beard on his chin and said with a smile: Zhao Yun was very resistant to this name at first. However, after Ma Chao came in person and proposed to let Zhao Yun meet with the army, Zhao Yun was not very resistant to this.

And Ma Chao also thought that since Xun You broke Zhao Yun's mind, like Liu Bei, he brazenly called Zhao Yun a brother - since Zhao Yun wanted to continue to fight for his reputation in troubled times, Ma Chao would never stop Zhao Yun's wish. However, he and Zhao Yun naturally can no longer compare. First, Ma Chao's identity has far surpassed Zhao Yun, and there is no need to take action with Zhao Yun; secondly, if Ma Chao wants to retain Zhao Yun, he can't mess up the master's etiquette system.

From this, Ma Chao just thought that he could not compete with each other, but only complement each other. If he worships Zhao Yun as his brother as a cavalry general, Zhao Yun's status will definitely reach a higher level. And Zhao Yun is not a fool. After Ma Chao's shameless request, he also saw Ma Chao's intention. Since then, he has been commensurate with Ma Chao and Guo Jia's brothers, and his relationship with Ma Chao has become increasingly close.

Yuan Shu will not ignore Cao Cao's behavior. With his practice of splitting troops in two places this time, it can be seen that Yuan Shu wants to fight for fame and prestige. Therefore, Yuan Shu sent troops against Cao Cao, which is not possible, but certain!" Ma Chao smiled confidently and saw a trace of disappointment on Zhao Yun's face. He couldn't help guess that Zhao Yun was afraid of missing the thought of competing with Lv Bu. He patted Zhao Yun's back and continued to say, "However, under the world, although Chao dares not say that he knows Lv Bu best, he can also master some of Lv Bu's temperament and psychology. Does the elder brother think that with Lv Bu's bravery and the momentum of 50,000 troops in his hand, will he listen to Yuan Shu and return to Fengqiu?

"What did Meng Qi say?..." Zhao Yun was clear. After listening to Ma Chao's explanation, his beautiful face and a pair of tiger eyes were shining. He couldn't help but see that he was more eager for Lv Bu. He nodded and sighed, "My husband was born in troubled times. He should be like Lv Bu. He is not controlled by heaven and earth, and he is his true character. However, this man is snobbish and changeable, kills his father for glory, and really can't be named as a hero. It is also natural to be defeated in the hands of Meng Qi..."

"Brother's fallacy, there is no reason in the world?" Ma Chao listened to Zhao Yun's words and actually had some appreciation for Lv Bu. He couldn't help but stop Zhao Yun's wild thoughts and said, "My husband was born in troubled times, and the first task is to judge the situation. For example, Lv Bukong has the ability and a cavity of ambition, but what's the use of not to break the world's road of loyalty? Two defeats to my hand, not a crime of war, is caused by the lack of loyalty and righteousness... Brother thought that if Lv Bu didn't listen to Yuan Shu's order this time, could he continue to be a general under Yuan Shu?

After saying that, Ma Chao did not force Zhao Yun again, but drove the horse first. Zhao Yun was given time to think alone, hoping that Zhao Yun could see his good intentions as soon as possible. Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao's unrestrained figure and seemed to figure out something and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that Yun was taught by Meng Qi, but what Meng Qi said was indeed a heartfelt..."
