Chapter 63: Man Chong Changan Sees Ma Chao
ps: A new round of author surveys, please choose, thank you~
Naturally, everyone could feel that their lord trusted Man Chong. In fact, at this time, it can be said that except Cao Hong, others also had confidence in Man Chong. Of course, Cao Hong simply didn't want Man Chong to take revenge. He had always thought about how to take revenge, but he had never had any good chance. So he just couldn't see Man Chong, and he had long turned around and stopped looking at him. For Cao Hong, it was really "out of sight, not annoyed".
However, for everyone, although they had celebrated holidays with Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army, this really had nothing to do with it. Because everyone knows that it is the enemy now. It can be said that our biggest enemy is not Ma Mengqi, nor Liangzhou Army. Instead, Yuan Benchu, who occupies the four northern prefectures, is the Jizhou Army. Because Yuan Benchu wants to destroy his side, may his side be waiting to die?
Although many people were afraid before, they actually agreed with their lords who wanted to fight Yuan Benchu in the first battle. As for what they were behind the scenes, I don’t know. Anyway, what their lords are saying now is what. If they can really unite with Ma Mengqi in Chang'an, Sili, then the benefits to them will naturally be more. After all, the two people are always much better than one person to Yuan Benchu, and basically everyone admits this.
Although anyone with discerning eyes can see that if our side and Ma Mengqi join forces together, then if we really defeat Yuan Benchu in the end, the four northern states will definitely be divided by Ma Mengqi. But even so, it is worth thinking about it carefully. Because now our side’s best choice is only like this. Is there any other choice?
Or you can destroy Ma Mengqi first and then deal with Yuan Benchu. There will be no worries. But is this possible? In the eyes of some people, this may actually be more difficult than destroying Yuan Benchu. After all, in the world, Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army is much more famous than Yuan Benchu's Jizhou Army. At least until now, the Liangzhou Army is still in the position of the world's number one combat power, so who knows how strong Ma Mengqi's strength is now.
"Okay, Boning will be sent to Chang'an to join forces with Ma Mengqi. At that time, I will entrust Your Majesty's edict directly to you. After the matter is completed, I will just hand over the imperial edict to Ma Mengqi!"
"promise!"
Man Chong had made arrangements, and Cao Cao said to everyone, "Zi filial son, Zi Lian!"
"I am here!" "I am here!"
"I will lead two people to attack Qingzhou to prevent Yuan Benchu from attacking from the east. No mistakes must be made!"
"No!" The two of them spoke in unison.
Cao Ren and Cao Hong entered Qingzhou, and as for the consequences, in Cao Cao's opinion, there was no problem with occupying several counties and states in Qingzhou. After all, Qingzhou was governed by Yuan Tan, and there were no people except Liu Bei seemed to be there, so Cao Cao was quite at ease.
"Wenze!"
Yu Jin stood up and said, "The last one is here!"
Cao Cao nodded, "You lead your troops to Yanjin on the south bank of the Yellow River to monitor the movements on the north bank of the Yellow River!"
"No!" Yu Jin said.
"Okay. The others will join me and lead troops to Baima. Wenruo stays in Xudu, but I want to see what Yuan Benchu wants?"
"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.
-----------------------------------------------------
With Cao Cao's arrangement like this, I have to mention the locations of various places.
First of all, Guandu. Although Cao Cao did not mention Guandu at this time, in order to prevent Yuan Shao from sending troops, he had already stationed heavy troops in Guandu to protect the last barrier.
Where is Guandu? In fact, it is not far from Xu, in the northeast of Xudu. If Yuan Shao led the Jizhou army to Xudu, then Guandu is the place he must pass, so it is impossible for Cao Cao to ignore this place, and this place is indeed suitable for a battle between the two sides.
However, Cao Cao's troops were not much related to Guandu. After all, Yuan Shao had not arrived there yet. Wasn't he afraid before, so he stationed heavily in Guandu to defend, but at this time Cao Cao led his troops to Baima.
Because Yuan Shao had already sent troops to Liyang, as long as he crossed Liyang, crossed the Yellow River and Baimajin, he would reach Baima. However, Cao Cao also knew that with his own strength, he could not stop Yuan Shao's Jizhou army from crossing the Yellow River. But even so, Cao Cao still led his troops to Baima, which was just to stop Yuan Shao. As for Liu Yan who had stayed there before, he could not even lead his troops to stop the Jizhou army, let alone how could he resist Yuan Benchu's army.
Yu Jin was sent to Yanjin, which was in the southwest of Baima, and there was a place called Nanpi in the southeast of Yanjin. Cao Cao meant to let Yu Jin go there. Of course, if Yuan Shao's army arrived there, Cao Cao would not expect Yu Jin to be able to match them, but just played a role in surveillance.
-----------------------------------------------------
Man Chong took his master's mission to Chang'an to send him a bus. Man Chong was even more courageous than Liu Ye. Without taking a single person, he rode his horse to Sili.
In Man Chong's opinion, Ma Mengqi would never detain himself, so going to Sili alone would be much easier than having more people.
In Chang'an, the guards came to report, "Lord, there is an envoy from Xu Du who asks for his visit!"
Ma Chao smiled at Guo Jia next to him, "Fengxiao, it seems that Cao Mengde can't sit still!"
Guo Jia also smiled the same way, "The lord said so much. Look at who Cao Mengde asked to come to Chang'an!"
Ma Chao nodded with a smile, "Please come into the mansion!"
"promise!"
After a while, Man Chong came to Ma Chao, "Man Chong Man Boning under Cao Sikong's tent, has seen General Cavalry!"
Ma Chao smiled at Man Chong, "Please sit down with the messenger!"
"General Thank you!"
Ma Chao thought, Man Chong, he really had information about Man Chong. Shanyang Man Chong Man Boning and Cao Hong and Cao Zilian... Anyway, Man Chong said he had done everything over the years. Ma Chao basically knew everything. Besides, Man Chong was the one who was a man, Ma Chao knew that he was indeed a talent, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao asked him to come to Chang'an.
Ma Chao first introduced to Man Chong, "This is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao from Yangdi, Yingchuan!"
If you say that Guo Jia is not a person with no reputation at all, after all, he came from Yingchuan Academy, and he was quite famous at Yingchuan Academy back then. So in Yingchuan, he is indeed a little famous. Xu Du is in Yingchuan, so although Guo Jia's reputation in the local area has become increasingly weak in recent years. But it does not mean that Man Chong has never heard of it. He really knows Guo Jia.
He quickly bowed and said, "So Mr. Fengxiao is disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Guo Jia quickly returned the greeting, "Boning is polite. Boning is famous, Jia has heard of it for a long time!"
When Man Chong heard this, he understood. Of course, he was talking about something that he didn't give Cao Zilian face. Apart from this, he seemed to be really not famous.
"Mr. He Zu is so fond of it!"
After the two said hello, Ma Chao asked Man Chong, "Boning is here to come to Chang'an, but he doesn't know where it is?"
Man Chong smiled. "It's for the general's affairs!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he thought it was for my business. Do you believe it yourself? But Ma Chao had to say that Man Chong really aroused his curiosity and had to ask him. He said that he came for his business, which thing was for?
"I don't know what Boning said, what is for?"
Guo Jia next to him was always smiling. For him, he knew what Man Chong might have to say, it was nothing more than the matter of Bingzhou, and it was difficult to have anything else.
Sure enough, I heard Man Chong say, "I wonder if the general has a grudge against Yuan Benchu?"
When Ma Chao heard this, he found that this was not a secret, and of course there was nothing that could not be said.
So he said, "What Boning said is right. I have a grudge with Yuan Benchu of Jizhou! Could it be that Boning came for this matter today?"
"Yes! Now it's the general's opportunity to avenge his friends. General, don't miss it!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he sneered in his heart, thinking that it was still time? Don’t miss it? If you really listen to you, then the benefits of the big ones will be taken away by Cao Cao and Mengde in the end, and you will only have small profits left. So it is impossible, you can’t agree to you so easily. You naturally have to send troops, and you must unite even more. But in the end, you must get the greatest benefits and get the most benefits. Otherwise, you will unite once in vain.
To be honest, Ma Chao was not afraid of Yuan Shao at this time, and as for Cao Cao, he was not afraid of him either. Because now that Yuan Shao is going to go to war with Cao Cao, it is indeed the most beneficial to him. Yuan Benchu did not send anyone to Chang'an, which is simply great. Doesn't this mean that Yuan Gonglu didn't take himself seriously at all. He didn't think he had any major threats, so this can be said to be the best.
As long as this is the case, I can gain enough benefits in the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. And his alliance with Cao Cao is inevitable. After all, I don’t have that great strength and can destroy both of them at once. So since I don’t have this strength, I can only work with Cao Cao and then destroy Yuan Shao. This is definitely in line with my own ideas. After all, although my uncle brother, although he was not killed by Yuan Benchu’s injury, was forced by his army to commit suicide. Therefore, I had to avenge this revenge!
