Chapter 354 Mysterious Woman

"This Ma Chao is really abominable."

Shangyong City, since receiving the news that Ma Chao was going to attack Shangyong, Cao Chun rushed to Shangyong overnight and told Cao Ren the news.

"Liangzhou Ma Chao?"

Cao Ren frowned, and Ma Chao attacked the mediocre thing. No matter how he thought about it, he felt a little weird. Liangzhou is separated from Shangyongzhong from Hanzhong, and Liangzhou Ma Tengzheng and Liangzhou Han Sui are really enough. There is no room to attack Shangyong, and this Ma Chao's long-headed expedition to fight against Shangyong. Isn't he afraid that his food and fodder supply is not urgent? Liangzhou and other places are famous and remote places. This Ma Teng has always lacked food and grass, and it is also Cao Cao. A way to deal with Liangzhou.

"Brother, I heard that Ma Chao is very famous in Liangzhou. This time I must teach him a lesson and let him know what heaven and earth are." Cao Chun, who was beside him, didn't seem to notice Cao Ren's worries and said with hatred.

Cao Ren shook his head and said helplessly. Although he knew that this was not Cao Chun's original face, he also lamented. Even the Cao family needs to disguise themselves to gain Cao Cao's trust, let alone others.

Although the Cao family has been valued by Cao Cao, and even many people are as powerful as him, it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao is afraid. In Cao's heart, Cao must be attached to himself, but after all, the Cao family is a clan, which has been passed down strictly for more than ten generations. In fact, Cao Cao alone can It can be suppressed. Therefore, the relationship between Cao Cao and the Cao family is not as harmonious as it seems.

"It seems that Liu Qi in Jingzhou has known something, otherwise he will definitely not let Liangzhou soldiers and horses enter Hanzhong." Cao Ren shook his head and sighed.

"Liu Qi from Jingzhou?" Cao Chun also frowned and said that he really didn't think about this matter to Liu Qi, but after Cao Ren mentioned it, he immediately realized the key. The Liangzhou soldiers and horses attacked Shang mediocre and must pass through Hanzhong. Now Hanzhong has fallen into the hands of Jingzhou, and even Zhang Lu has surrendered to Jingzhou.

The Liangzhou soldiers and horses invited by Zhang Lu must have decided to attack Shangyong after negotiating with Liu Qi again. Behind this matter must also be the ghost of Jingzhou.

"Brother, although Jingzhou has captured Hanzhong, Jingzhou and Hanzhong are still separated from Shangyong. The grain and fodder must be transported to Hanzhong through Shangyong. If Jingzhou has not reacted, the grain road in Jingzhou will be cut off in one fell swoop." Cao Chun looked at Cao Ren and said with a calm face.

"This..." Cao Ren fell into silence. At this time, although he did not tear his face with Jingzhou, Jingzhou invited Liangzhou's soldiers and horses to attack Shangyong was already a fierce slap on Shangyong. Cutting off Jingzhou's grain road can naturally cut off the connection between Jingzhou and Hanzhong, but Hanzhong itself is rich in the world and supply Jingzhou in a short time. The weight of the army's grain and fodder is not a problem. On the contrary, Shangyong may fall into the attack of Liangzhou and Jingzhou soldiers and horses.

"No!" Before Cao Ren could speak, a fierce shout came in from outside.

"Hmm?" Cao Ren and Cao Chun both changed their color. This was the most heavily guarded place in Shangyong City. Who could appear here so unconsciously? However, when they saw the faces clearly, their faces could not help showing a little joy.

"Long article." Both Cao Ren and Cao Chun stood up.

"The two generals are all good." Chen Qun stepped in and looked at the two people and smiled.

"It's good for the long article to come back. The danger of mediocrity can be solved." Cao Ren took a few steps forward and came to Chen Qun.

"The general praised it. Even without me, Ma Chao could not conquer the mediocrity." Chen Qun shook his head and said that he also knew something about Ma Chao. The young man's fame was smooth sailing. Such a person was full of flaws in front of a general like Cao Ren. Cao Ren could easily find out Ma Chao's weakness and defeat the Liangzhou army.

Pound is the only one who can make the whole Liangzhou army want to see. Ma Chao can win this battle in Liangzhou smoothly, and Pound accounts for more than half of the credit

"Changwen is right. Ma Chao is just a young boy. How can he be the eldest brother's opponent?" Cao Chun also came forward with a big smile and patted Chen Qun on the shoulder: "Where has Changwen been these days? Why hasn't there been any news for many days?"

"Ha ha, I'm ashamed that I've been staying in Yizhou these days. I originally wanted to persuade Liu Zhang from Yizhou to be in a dilemma with Jingzhou, but I didn't expect that Liu Zhang hesitated and gave Jingzhou a chance to calm down Hanzhong." Chen Qun shook his head and said with a pity.

"Changwen joked. It has been a great achievement to make Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Jingzhou turn against each other. There is no need to say anything else. I also know some of the situation in Yizhou. It was Zhang Ren's careless defeat that led to Jingzhou's soldiers and horses occupying Zitong County and gaining a foothold in Yizhou. However, Liu Qi is ambitious. Before he can digest Hanzhong, he wants to attack Yizhou. Isn't he afraid of holding on to death?

Looking at Chen Qun, who was a little embarrassed, Cao Ren helped Chen Qun to his seat and comforted him.

"Yes, I heard that Ren is still the largest general in Yizhou in private. He can't even deal with the Jingzhou soldiers and horses surrounded by his own regiment. It's really a false reputation." Cao Chun said with a disdainful face.

"Ha ha, the general's words are a little unfair to Zhang Ren. In my opinion, before this battle, Zhuge Liang's army will also lose troops, and even be besieged and annihilated by this one. However, the result of this battle is beyond everyone's expectations. This is the fault that Zhuge Liang has long left behind, not that Ren."

Chen Qun smiled and said that in Yizhou, he always paid attention to the situation of Zhang Ren's army. As for Zhang Ren's strategy, he could not jump out of any problems. After the news of Zhang Ren's defeat came, he was stunned for a long time.

"Well, if it hadn't been for the sudden death of the Flying Dragon Guard, what would have been the result of this war? Do you know?" Cao Chun snorted.

"Although this statement is not bad, I think even if Feilongwei doesn't rush back, Zhuge Liang will have other means, but I don't know where Zhuge Liang has such great confidence? How dare you let yourself be surrounded by Yizhou soldiers and horses?" Chen Qun frowned and said.

"Let's leave the matter of Yizhou to Liu Zhang with a headache. Now Ma Chao will attack Shangyong at any time. What's the plan of Changwen?" Cao Ren said.

"Ha ha, don't worry, general. Although Ma Chao is extremely brave and good at fighting, he is proud and arrogant. He leads the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou all the way. The general can wait for the Lord to attack. With Ma Chao's arrogant personality, he will definitely take the initiative to fight with the general. At that time, the general can defeat him in one fell swoop and solve the danger of mediocrity. Chen Qun shook his head and then said, "It's just that there is a general Pang De under Ma Chao's command. This man is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also extraordinary. He is often good at leading troops. Bombing Ma Chao has today's prestige. Pang De's contribution is indispensable. At that time, please ask the general to lead this person away.

"Pound? Don't worry, Changwen, this Pound will be handed over to me. Cao Chun said first.

"Okay, then this Pang De will be handed over to my pure brother. Changwen has been running all the way or resting early. Liangzhou soldiers and horses will arrive in the next two days, and Changwen still needs to sit in the town." Cao Ren nodded.

"So, I'll leave now." Chen Qun's hand.

..............................................................................

Jingzhou, since Liu Qi's expedition, all affairs in Jingzhou have been handled by Jia Xu, Yi Ji and others, while Xin Xianying is dispatched in the middle.

Although Xin Xianying is a woman, Jia Xu, Yi Ji and others dare not despise her at all. Even Jia Xu privately compared Xin Xianying to Queen Lv in the early Han Dynasty, believing that Xin Xianying's achievements may even surpass Queen Lv.

Jia Xu and others sit in Xiangyang, and Xin Xianying's retreat behind the scenes can not only know the movement of the whole Jingzhou like the palm of his hand, but also avoid other people's words against Xin Xianying under the pretext.

Although Xin Xianying secretly replaced Liu Qi in Jingzhou, she did not intend to interfere in the affairs of Jingzhou. At most, she always only looked at it and didn't say anything. Only when Jia Xu and others asked her for advice would she say her opinion. Every time she said it was concise and accurate. Let Jia Xu and others praise it secretly.

Although Liu Qi didn't say it, Xin Xianying knew that Liu Qi didn't want him to become another Queen, but wanted her to become another Yin Lihua.

Queen Lv domineeringly intervened in government affairs, while Yin Lihua was gentle and generous to help Liu Xiu achieve hegemony. The comparison between the two compartments can feel what Liu Qi thought in his heart. Fortunately, she did not intend to become Queen Lv in her heart. Her every move was related to the fate of the whole Xin family, and she had to be cautious.

"Madam, Zhou Cang has arrived in Xiangyang and is waiting outside now."

In the study, a brocade guard bowed and whispered.

"Zhoucang? Shouldn't he protect Xu Junshi in Jizhou? Why did you return at this time?" A moment later, a soft but not strong voice sounded, with surprise in the voice.

"I don't know." The brocade guard is still respectful.

"Let him wait in the side hall." Xin Xianying thought for a moment and said that since Liu Qi's personal expedition, she has been used to replacing Liu Qi in the study and handling government affairs. Zhou Cang's return surprised her a little. Zhou Cang is responsible for protecting Xu Shu. There is nothing important to never leave Jizhou.

Putting down the bamboo slips in his hand, Xin Xianying got up and walked towards the side hall, and soon came to a hall. Zhou Cang people stood tall on the hall, and there was a huge box behind him.

"I've met my wife." Seeing Xin Xianying coming, Zhou Cang quickly bowed and saluted.

"General Zhou doesn't have to be polite. What does Xu Junshi have to explain when he returned to Xiangyang this time?" Xin Xianying asked directly, what she was most worried about was what happened to Xu Shu. She knew that Liu Qi attached great importance to Xu Shu and absolutely did not want Xu Shu to have any damage.

"Hmm..."

Before Zhou Cang could speak, there was a whisper in the big box behind him.

Xin Xianying frowned and could tell from his voice that there was a woman in the box. Was it kidnapped by Xu Shuming? Xin Xianying turned his head and looked at Zhou Cang.

Seeing that Xin Xianying's face was not good, Zhou Cang smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, this woman found the plan of the military division. Originally, she wanted to kill her on the spot, but the military division asked the last general to send her back to Xiangyang, saying that this woman would be of great use in the future."

"Is this true?" Xin Xianying frowned even more. Xu Shu's explanation should not be bad, but why tie a woman from Jizhou?

"How dare the last general deceive his wife." Zhou Cang bowed hurriedly.

Xin Xianying nodded and looked at the wooden box again. At this time, in addition to the sound of whispering, there was a slight shaking in the wooden box.
