Chapter 791 Taking princes as chess pieces

"Look, the fool riding the yellow horse in front of you is Cao Cao. General, the great credit is in front of you. Hurry up and chase Cao Cao!"

Ma Chao still said this in a funny tone. But after hearing this, Diao Chan did not smile any more. Instead, he asked in surprise, "Cao did use this trick to deceive the captain, but my concubine couldn't figure it out. How did my husband guess it?"

"This is actually very simple," he installed many times with his subordinates, and Ma Chao has been quite experienced in dealing with such events. Therefore, he looked unfathomable and explained, "As long as Cicada understands some psychological foundation and wants to be Cao Cao, she can naturally guess Cao Cao's reaction at that time."

"Questioned by the captain, Cao Cao had only two answers to choose from at that time: I don't know and in the front. If you don't know, the captain is likely to take off Cao Cao's head in anger. The risk is very high. Cao Cao's resourceful person will definitely not answer like this; and the biggest chance of survival is to answer "Cao Cao is in front", because in this way, the captain may feel that he provides such important information and his men With mercy, since the lieutenant felt that he had found Cao Cao, he was naturally anxious to catch up with Cao and had no time to care about his 'known pawn'. Therefore, I concluded that Cao Cao had no choice but to coax the lieutenant.

"My husband really understands people's hearts and expects everything to be like a god." Diao Chan sighed and added, "As my husband said, the captain left Cao Cao and chased him. Before Cao Cao had time to wipe his cold sweat, he quickly turned around and broke out of the fire at the East Gate. He met the two tiger guards, Dian Wei Xu Chu, and killed a bloody road. But even so, when he broke out of the siege, Cao Cao was injured in the left palm by a wooden beam, burning his beard and almost fell from the horse. It's really a handful of rice without stealing chickens.

"However, after Cao Cao was injured and escaped from death this time, he also set up a fraudulent death plan, which attracted Feng Xiangong, who underestimated the enemy, to attack and killed Feng Xiangong and returned with a great defeat, but it was also a blessing from misfortune, right?..." As a matter of course, Ma Chao told the following events.

But as soon as the words came out, Diao Chan's face was wrong again. She touched Ma Chao's head and said doubtfully, "Fair, isn't this the plot of Romance of the Three Kingdoms again?"

"What? Didn't Cao Cao die by fraud?!" Ma Chao's face was embarrassed, and suddenly there was an impulse to strangle Luo Guanzhong: Old Luo, are you too good at fabricating?! Is it because Cao Cao was pitiful this time, and in order not to lose his reputation as a great military man, he made up the plot randomly?!

But you can make it up. Why are you so lively, saying that Cao Cao escaped from great joy? Everyone greeted Cao Cao, and Cao Cao laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Although I was fooled by Lv Bu this time, I must be angry next time."

You have such a nose and eyes, and you are so in line with Cao Cao's character, which is simply deceiving the reader's feelings!! Does your family know that you are so good at writing novels?

"After Cao Cao's death, there was no trick to die at all. However, my concubine felt that if Cao Cao could do this, maybe he might really make Feng Xiangong suffer a loss... In this way, my husband's military talent is far better than Cao Cao!"

After saying this, Ma Chao blushed, and Ma Chao had no excuse to argue, so he had to say, "Then how was the war between Lu Cao?"

"Two attacks on Feng Xiangong were defeated by Feng Xiangong and Chen Gong, and their lives were hanging on the line. But Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero, and his fighting spirit has not been defeated at all. After returning to this camp, Cao Cao immediately organized the defeated army, made siege weapons, and came to Puyang City again to prepare for the siege!"

"Huh? Cao Cao is also so good?" After listening to what Diao Chan said, Ma Chao couldn't help sighing: a person's success is really doomed. If Cao Cao, a person who is not discouraged by repeated setbacks, does not leave a strong ink on the stage of the heroes in the future, it is really unreasonable.

Just hearing about it, you can imagine Cao Cao's posture at that time, as if it was not him but Lv Bu who was almost killed. Not to mention Lv Bu and Chen Gong, even if they are themselves, I'm afraid they will be scared. There are many people who are not afraid of death. I really haven't seen Cao Cao who is not afraid of death; and when he encounters this kind of lifeless person, he can only save his own life, right?

Sure enough, what Diao Chan later said was that Chen Gong and Lv Bu could not estimate how much Cao Cao's military strength was. They stopped making trouble with Cao Cao and ordered to start sticking to the city. Next, there is a battle of food and morale. Although the morale of both sides is neither high nor low, the military food should gradually come to an end. In addition, the severe winter has arrived, and the two sides can only be patient to continue. So far, no more news has come.

"So, there is no big problem on Feng Xian's side for the time being?" At this time, Ma Chao's expression began to be solemn. He turned to the sand table simulation map, looked at the vast territory of the Ma family, and said, "In Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's side has economic cooperation as a way to slow down the army. He is carrying out economic aggression against Hanzhong step by step, cutting meat with a soft knife. At Liu Biao in Jingzhou, there is Yuan Shu staring at it, and there are scholars and martial arts inside. After seizing power, he is not able to enter the Tuma family for the time being; and Yanzhou... Until more than a year, there will be no major changes."

"more than a year?" Hearing Ma Chao's words, Diao Chan couldn't help frowning and said, "My husband, it's May now, and there will be another time when the autumn harvest will come. Feng Xiangong and Cao Cao both stared at the crops in Yanzhou. At this time, they were already fierce and ready to move. How could my husband talk about it for more than a year?

"Because the locust feast we have enjoyed should also let Cao Cao taste it!" Ma Chao said with determination: historical events can be changed, but some things, such as natural disasters, are absolutely impossible to change!

Historically, Lv Bu entered Yanzhou in 1994. However, under the step-by-step promotion of Ma Chao, the events in Yanzhou were almost a year earlier. Cao Cao and Lv Bu, after those several confrontations, entered the stage of rest and confrontation after the 1994 locust plague.

Now, although the two armies are still in this stage of stalemate, it is because of the cold winter and military food. Next, after the natural disaster, the two families don't have to fight to the death at all: whoever can survive the locust disaster is the owner of Yanzhou!

It can be imagined that the Ma family has experienced a year of development and has enough food reserves. Ma Chao worked so hard before, that is, until the advent of this period - as long as he funded Lv Bu to survive the locust disaster, Cao Cao had no choice but to destroy it!

Sometimes, there is no need for knives and soldiers to fight. An excellent military conspirator, in his eyes, natural and man-made disasters are all sword soldiers!

Use the economy to deal with Hanzhong; use the beauty and Tuoba to deal with the Xiongnu; for Cao Cao, use natural disasters... If you don't fight and subdum the soldiers, it's the best choice!!

That is to say, Ma Chao outside the chessboard has sublimated to jump out of the chessboard, and Hanzhong, Bingzhou and Yanzhou are played with one hand behind the scenes!!

And now, all he has to do is wait. Waiting for the economy of Hanzhong to be completely dependent on the Ma family; it is equivalent to Fu Luo lowering his proud head and kneeling in front of him to repent; when Lv Bu jumps his horse and cuts off Cao Cao's head. The territory of the Ma family will usher in another great expansion!

In this spare period, Ma Chao just wanted to go to Jiangxia: there, his doubts and the plots of his previous life have been buried. He can't turn a blind eye, and he can't let go at all...

However, he still needs to do one thing before that.

From this, he turned around, looked at Diao Chan again affectionately, and said, "Cant, I have arranged everything. You said you would grant me a request..."

"My concubine said that I had agreed."
