Chapter 1051 Why do you bow your head if you don't propose?

"Cao Cao's lack of food and fodder and plotted to withdraw from Wei County and Yangping counties?" Ma Chao looked at Zhen Mi incredulously and was suddenly stunned, which made his ** very calm elephant dragon sneeze very unpleasantly, prompting him to calm down.

But how can Ma Chao calm down about this kind of thing?

If Cao Cao only lacks food and grass, Ma Chao can accept it. After all, Cao Cao's time in Tuntian is not long, and it has only reached the stage of promotion, which is far from the level of 'the bumper harvest of Benzhou and the abundance of Kufu'. But Zhen Mi vowed that Cao Cao had ordered all the materials of the Zhen family to be moved to Dong County, which showed that there was no other possibility except that Cao Cao would give up Wei County and Yangping counties!

Before subduing Montenegro, Ma Chao did not know the slight change of Yuan Shao's army. He only heard the news that Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Yuan's army was defeated. In Ma Chao's view, Cao Cao was so powerful that he wanted to resist in Wei County and Yuan Shao for several months, and there was no problem at all. But Cao Cao is so weak that there is only one possibility.

Cao Cao wants to make a quick decision with Yuan Shao!

"Meng Qi, Cao Gong's grain and grass are scarce and his lonely army is deep. If he competes with Yuan Shao, the victory or defeat is only five or five. Now if Cao Gong takes the initiative to give up the two counties, it means that the battle of Yuan Cao will end in half a month soon!" Guo Jia's look was also very ugly. After saying this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Now the Ma family is swallowing the opportunity. If Cao Gong quickly defeats Yuan Shao and holds the power of great victory, Jizhou will be at your fingertips!" Even though the alliance book says that Cao Gong will not take a county and a county in Jizhou, you and I know in our hearts that the alliance book is just a cover-up.

Yes, the alliance Ma Chao concluded with Cao Cao this time is actually a secret alliance and cannot be made public. At present, the two families are fighting against Yuan in the name of supporting the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the above books are against the way of ministers to divide Yuan Shao's territory and make the emperor move. Therefore, since Ma Chao defeated Cao Cao and Sun Ce's joint attack on Yuan Shu, Cao Cao is also very likely to occupy the land of Jizhou.

The rich land north of the Yellow River is a huge cake for Ma Chao and Cao Cao. And Yuan Shao's main force is a stinky dog, and whoever sticks to it will be unlucky. Ma Chao is powerful, and Yuan Shao will undoubtedly compete with Ma Chao first, in the case that he can't defeat Ma Chao. It was both Ma Chao and Yuan Shao who were involved in moving the battlefield to the middle line and making Cao Cao fall into a pile of shit. But once Cao Cao wipes his buttocks, it is a huge threat to Ma Chao, who is still slowly devouring the land of Bingzhou.

Of course, Cao Cao's crime is still greater than that of the League. If Ma Chao uses this as a threat, Cao Cao may not have retreated, but now the situation of chaos is unknown. Before the last step, neither of the two families wants to make a scene.

"Miss Zhen Mi, you have revealed such information. For the Ma family, there are only some reference opinions, but it is far from favorable. I wonder if the lives of two people are only worth this sentence? Ma Chao has now seen that although Zhen Yan is the head of the Zhen family, he obviously needs to refer to the 14-year-old sister Zhen Mi's decision. And Ma Chao also knew that at this time, he must not stumbling Cao Cao and let Yuan Shao break Cao Cao. Otherwise, Yuan Shao's next move is definitely not to attack Cao Cao, but to turn over and fight with the Ma family.

Therefore, Ma Chao can only tie up the Zhen family's ship first and know Cao Cao's movements in terms of food and fodder and intelligence. After all, that old man Yang Biao does not participate in Cao Cao's military. Although Zhen Huan of Xuzhou has also defected to the Cao family, after all, Xuzhou is too far from the middle line camp to convey accurate and useful information.

If the Ma family also put a nail in Cao's camp in terms of food and information, it can be imagined how much advantage the Ma family will have once they meet each other in war!

"General Qiqi, the little woman feels that this information is enough for the general." Zhen Mi was inconvenient to ride a horse, but at this time, he did not see any weakness in Ma Chao's eyes: "This news is simply useless for Zhang Yan's bandit leaders. But for the general, it can be prevented. If the general feels a little lost, he can kidnap my brother and sister like Zhang Yan, or directly kill us to vent his anger..."

Ma Chao heard Zhen Mi's words and did not draw his sword to test their minds. In fact, as Zhen Mi said, Ma Chao kidnapped or killed these two people. For the Ma family, there is no benefit. It is far better to use the shadow to send them back safely and let them pass on accurate information to the Ma family.

However, it seems that it is Zhen Mi who has settled Ma Chao and wants to save his life with a broad and general information. Ma is supernatural and can't do such a loss-making business.

"Miss Zhen Mi, don't talk secretly among bright people. If you can be plundered by Zhang Yan this time, it is obvious that your Zhen family has not received much attention on Cao's side. Maybe Cao Cao despised the merchants, or Cao Cao was angry that you strongly funded Yuan Shao before. But in any case, Cao is not a good employer for you. Ma Chao's mood to return to Jinyang is very urgent at this time, but the more so, he should also show a calm look in front of Zhen Mi.

"You must be clear about the Ma family's support policy for merchants. Among other things, do you know the Li family in Jinyang? Facts are better than eloquence. Ma Chao was eager to return to Jinyang to deploy a brief, so he had to pull out the living example of Li Zihao to ** Zhen Yan.

You should know that Zhen Yuen also has an official position in the Yuan family, but Zhen Yuen only got into the position of a small guard order under the premise of four years of being raised to filial piety and heavily funding Yuan Shao. Compared with Li Zihao, who is not even qualified for filial piety, but Ma Chao is appointed as a member of the household department and has an important member who participates in the whole Ma family's business activities, it is really a world of difference.

And Zhen Yan and Zhen Mi heard the name of the Li family, and a touch of shame appeared on their faces. You know, two years ago, the Li family in Jinyang was just a famous merchant in Jinyang City, but since they took the initiative to join the Ma family, with the help of the Ma family's goods, the Li family has become the largest business family in Bingzhou City. Directly compress the profit margin of the Zhen family in Bingzhou to the lowest, and there is a faint tendency to expand to Jizhou. At the same time, the two also knew that the Li family's trade with foreign ethnic groups for more than a year has made the Li family make a lot of money.

If Jia, a big Han businessman, wants to grow smoothly and look for the Ma family as a backup, it is definitely the best choice. After all, in this era, no one cares more about the development of business than Ma Chao.

However, after Ma Chao said this, Ma Chao suddenly found that Zhen Yan and Zhen Mi's faces showed a faint smile after a successful conspiracy. After the two looked at each other, Zhen Mi lowered his head. Zhen Yan held his fist and said, "General Qiqi, the Zhen family can join the Ma family, and even help the Ma family and provide information about Yuan and Cao for the Ma family. But the Zhen family is not short-sighted, and there is also a small request.

"No!" Ma Chao refused without waiting for Zhen Yan to say that condition, "There are several wives and concubines in my family, and they have given birth to a son and two daughter for me. And your sister has just passed her age this year, and she is still weak, and I am cold and murderous by nature, and my character is not good..."

"Lord, the Zhen family just wants to seek an official position in the Ma family like the head of the Li family, hoping to take the agency of the business of Ji and You in the two states... He once again said that he would marry his little sister to the general? Zhen Yan's face was a little dark, but after saying this, he couldn't help looking at his sister: If he really married Ma Chao, even if she was a concubine, it would be the same as Fu Wan's daughter and princess Fu Shou. Liu Liang, the prime minister, once looked at his little sister and said that the little sister would be unspeakably valuable in the future and have the order of the imperial concubine. Is it right to do this?

When Ma Chao heard Zhen Jian's words, he couldn't help but relax: "This should be a reasonable thing to do." Turning his head and looking at Zhen Mi again, his eyes couldn't help but be a little strange: You don't want to marry me. Why do you bow your head? It made my heart flutter...

But Zhen Mi is really angry this time. She has lived in a rich family since she was a child, and her appearance is better than other sisters. After being evaluated by Xu Shao, he enjoyed the treatment of stars in the neighborhood. If you don't have a little arrogance in your heart, it's impossible. But today, when Ma Chao was so rejected, he was inevitably a little angry and stared back at Ma Chao: Ancient virtuous daughter, how can there be a sister to be an official for her brother? Do you really think that the beautiful women in the world have to marry you?!
