    Chapter 135 "Liu Jia throws stones to ask for directions"

    Liu Jia and Pang Tong glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.  []

    Liu Jia chuckled softly and said: "This group of people are quite confident. Haha, they must wait until Cao Cao restricts their retreat, and then they will send people when the situation comes to a close."

    Pang Tong also smiled and said: "Maybe they are honest. It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. Besides, they are not sure that we can agree to them. Rather than being rejected by us, it is better not to ask for us."

    After a while, the special envoy came to Liu Jia under the leadership of the guards. He first gave Liu Jia a fist salute and then said respectfully: "See Mr. Zhou Mu!"

    Liu Jia quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, special envoy. Please sit down!"

    The special envoy quickly took out the letter from his arms and said to Liu Jia: "My lord is leading 150,000 elite troops and is fighting fiercely with the world's thief Cao Cao near Tongguan. I must have known it to Mr. Zhou Mu. Mr. Zhou Mu is a clan member of the royal family. My lord  Leading ten troops to fight against Cao Cao, Lord Zhou Mu should be duty-bound to support my lord in eradicating Cao's thieves, right? This is a letter written by my Lord to Lord Zhou Mu, please read it."

    Liu Jia took the letter and was not in a hurry to read it, but said: "Of course the governor of this state supports your actions! Cao Cao is a traitor in the world, and everyone will kill him. Ma Mengqi eradicated Han traitors for the people of the world in public, and in private  It can avenge the murder of his father. This is a good thing that pleases people. The Honshu Mu is discussing with Shiyuan how to help Meng. I wonder what the special envoy is here for this time? Can you first tell me about the battle situation in Tongguan?"

    The special envoy said: "This time Cao Cao wanted to wipe out all our ministries in Guanzhong in one fell swoop and dispatched 180,000 elite soldiers. My Lord also hoped to take this opportunity to wipe out Cao Cao in one fell swoop. But because Cao Cao was so arrogant, my Lord had to stay away temporarily.  His sharp edge retreated to Weikou, and now the enemy and we are in a stalemate. My lord believes that as long as Lord Zhou Mu sends out troops and attacks with my 150,000 troops, Cao Cao can be completely annihilated. Therefore, my lord sent down to ask Zhou Mu  Your Majesty sent troops to jointly eliminate harm for the people of the world. By eliminating Cao Cao, not only did the state pastor gain the support of all the people, but also allowed the Emperor of Han to regain control of the world, and the status of Yizhou became more stable. This is a good thing. I don¡¯t know the state.  Master Mu, can you agree to this?"

    The special envoy exaggerated the numbers of both parties. Liu Jia saw that his exaggeration was not too outrageous, so he did not expose him.  After hearing this, Liu Jia said thoughtfully: "In order to get rid of the national traitors and clear the world, we should try our best to support you, but we are unable to do it. Due to Du Ji's rebellion and Zhang Lu's invasion, in the past few years,  After the war, the vitality of various places was severely damaged. Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou all need our relief. Now it is really difficult to squeeze out a penny or a tael of grain. Moreover, our troops are still fighting the rebellion in the south, and we have a few  Ten thousand elite soldiers will not be able to return north for a while. Alas - it's really, we have been worrying about this these days. "

    The special envoy said hurriedly: "My lord also knows the difficulty of Mr. Zhou Mu. He knows that in addition to guarding the city, you have sent other elite troops. My lord said that if Mr. Zhou Mu really has difficulty in sending troops, please do it for the sake of the common people in the world.  Please support our army with some grain, grass, clothing and quilts. At the appropriate time, our army will be able to move into Master Zhou Mu¡¯s territory. In addition, our Lord also hopes that Master Zhou Mu can send a special envoy to our camp to discuss military aircraft.¡±

    "This, Ma Mengqi said this, which really makes Benzhou Mu even more embarrassed. Although we are in difficulty, we really can't say it without helping us. We are even more sorry for Ma Mengqi and others who loyally sacrificed their lives for the country to fight against Cao's thieves.  Ten soldiers," When Liu Jia said that, he ignored the anxious eyes of the special envoy, but turned to look at Pang Tong, as if to ask for Pang Tong's opinion.

    Pang Tong also nodded and said hesitantly: "Yes, Ma Mengqi sent out his entire army. It can be said that he did not care about personal gains and losses for the sake of the world. We should have more support. No matter how hard we suffer, it will definitely not be as hard as the soldiers in front of them. Tong Tong  I suggest you, Lord Zhou Mu, that we save ourselves and support the soldiers who are fighting against Cao Cao, right?"

    Liu Jia nodded in agreement.

    The envoy listened.  He was overjoyed and said, "On behalf of my lord and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, I would like to thank Mr. Zhou Mu and Mr. Wang!"

    Liu Jia smiled and said: "We are a family. We are all fighting against Cao's thieves, so don't say the word thank you. Since Shi Yuan also agreed, Honshu Mu promised to supply ten armies with 100,000 stones of food and grass every six months. As for  Ma Mengqi temporarily transferred his army to our Hanzhong area and sent a special envoy. Let the governor of this state consider it again. What does the special envoy think?"

    The special envoy hesitated for a moment and said a little discouraged: "Of course."

    In fact, his hesitation was just an act, and he was extremely happy.  Originally, Ma Chao had told him before he came that the offer of food and temporary land lease was just to test Liu Jia's attitude, and there was not much hope.

    Because everyone knows that the land of Liu Jia and the Three Prefectures has just ended many years of war, and food is naturally very tight. They still have to work inUsing troops in the south, in this case, the wisest choice is to avoid Cao Cao's suspicion - it is not a good thing to offend the powerful Cao Cao when he is at his weakest.

    So Ma Chao and others thought it would be good to get Liu Jia's nominal support. Besides, the reason why they contacted the weak Liu Jia was just in case the war went wrong.  According to Ma Chao's opinion, the word "failure" has nothing to do with him and his troops. Victory in the war is only a matter of sooner or later or the size of the victory. If Cao Cao hadn't played such a trick a few days ago, the word "failure" would never have appeared.  in his mind.

    Ma Chao¡¯s goal before raising his troops was to completely eliminate Cao Cao, avenge his father, and prepare for his future march into the Central Plains.

    But now he has lowered his goal to drive Cao Cao away so that he will not dare to come to Xiliang again in the future. Xiliang will then send troops to the Central Plains to fight for the world after internal integration.  Of course, if that doesn't work, we should be on an equal footing with the major forces in the Central Plains so that our Xiliang power will exist forever.

    If you thought you would fail from the beginning, why bother?  Even if Ma Chao has to raise troops to avenge his father's murder, will other ministries respond positively?  Is it possible that there are people in the world who think that the head on their neck is in the way, so they have to ask Cao Cao to chop it off?  Even if Cao Cao appears on the side and rear of his army now, Cao Cao will have the upper hand.  But my army has only been suitable for charging and killing on the plains for a long time. I have not lost anything. It is not certain who will win?

    The special envoy naturally understood Ma Chao's intentions and was skeptical about whether Liu Jia would agree.  Now I was very happy to hear that Liu Jia agreed immediately, and got one hundred thousand stones of food and grass out of thin air.  Although these 100,000 stones of food and grass are not enough to consume an army of more than 100,000 people for one and a half months, it is better than nothing. Why bother that 100,000 stones is close to 20% of the army's consumption.

    In fact, as soon as Liu Jiadi's grain team leaves Hanzhong.  Even if this grain team only has one grain, it is still very useful. Cao Cao, who is concentrating on dealing with ten armies, will be distracted.  He must be worried that Liu Jia will attack him from the side or directly attack the hinterland of the Central Plains from Yangping Pass, and his strength and energy will definitely be dispersed.

    Then Ma Chao¡¯s goal has been achieved.

    One day later, Liu Jia told the special envoy that as long as Ma Chao's troops did not cross the front line of Hanzhong City, they could temporarily transfer in.

    This news made the special envoy happy again. He felt that Liu Jia was really a good person and was willing to go out of his way to help his friends.

    But I don¡¯t know if he would still have this idea if he listened to the conversation between Liu Jia and Pang Tong.

    Yesterday, the guards arranged for the special envoy to rest in the post house.  Liu Jia and Pang Tong discussed the letter from Ma Chao and the current situation again for a long time.

    "Shi Yuan, are you really just watching Cao Cao wipe them out?" Liu Jia asked, looking at Ma Chao's heartfelt letter.

    "Then what can be done? Do we also have to be scapegoats? If Cao Cao really uses his full strength, he can mobilize at least 200,000 horses from the mainland to Guanzhong. In addition, now that he is under less pressure from Sun Quan, if he takes the risk  If so, why not remove tens of thousands of troops from the river? The main reason why he has not mobilized troops on such a large scale now is that he is confident that he can eradicate Ma Chao's ten rabble with these more than 100,000 troops, and does not want to interrupt him.  Rest and recuperation plan. Even if we send out all the hundreds of thousands of troops in our hands, if we join forces with Ma Chao, we will at most be able to draw a tie with Cao Cao who launches a ruthless attack. When we are in a stalemate and Sun Quan comes to kill us, we will have no choice. So we  Since the strategy has been decided, don't change it easily." Pang Tong's few words calmed Liu Jia's eagerness to try.

    "Ke Jia thinks it's too, haha." Liu Jia finally held back the word "despicable" for us to use this little bit of food to please Ma Chao and also get benefits from Cao Cao.

    "Haha, getting the maximum reward with the minimum effort is the most brilliant method. It is not despicable." Pang Tong said with a smile.

    "But can our little bit of food win over Ma Chao and the others?"  Liu Jia asked in disbelief.

    Pang Tong said with certainty: "Yes! Didn't Zhou Mu see the look in the envoy's eyes just now? Although he seemed a bit reluctant when speaking, his eyes were full of joy. Before they raised their troops, they must have thought that they were sure of victory.  Coupon, they thought that less than two years had passed since Cao Cao's defeat in the Battle of Wulin, and Cao Cao's two great enemies, Sun Quan and Zhou Mu, were significantly stronger than before. Cao Cao must divide his troops to defend these two sides. And after many years of  They were well prepared and had enough food to fight Cao Cao, so they raised their troops. However, once they fought, they discovered that the situation was not what they thought. Cao Cao turned out to be a fierce tiger. The battle had not officially started yet. The retreat was blocked by the opponent.  Restriction, Ma Chao became a little anxious now. He started to think of us."

    Pang Tong continued: "The war has just begun. Ma Chao's army is definitely not short of food. His purpose of doing this now is nothing more than to drag us into trouble. If we can risk offending Cao Cao and agree, we have already left."?They were surprised.  We are just doing it, and they will probably be grateful.  "

    Liu Jiadao: "Will Cao Cao really do what we want?".

    Pang Tong smiled but did not answer.

    Liu Jia looked at the map and said, "Should we strengthen the defense in Hanzhong? Will Ma Chao come in after the failure and seize Hanzhong from us?"

    Pang Tong smiled and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, you really don't feel at ease if you don't ask what Tong is telling you. Haha Whether Ma Chao will have a chance to seize Hanzhong depends on whether Cao Cao is smart. Don't worry, Lord Zhou Mu."  Right. Cao Cao is definitely a smart man. Even if he is confused for a moment, his counselors will remind him. He will definitely think about it for us. Ma Chao really wants to capture Hanzhong. Even if Cao Cao is confused and lets Ma Chao do it, Zhao Yun  The guarded Hanzhong cannot be lost."

    "Okay! That's what we've decided. Who should we send as our special envoy to Ma Chao?" Liu Jia asked.

    "It's really hard to decide. Ma Chao is not happy about sending someone with a low-level position. There are only a few high-level people. Either they can't do it without fighting, or they have too many things to do. Why don't we just let Tong go?" Pang Tong sent Xu Shu to  , Fazheng, Peng Yi, Ma Di, Zhang Song, Li Hui and others lined up one by one, but no one could be sent.

    Liu Jia quickly said: "No! Even if Jia goes there himself, he can't let Shi Yuan go. There are so many things going on in Chengdu now, how can we leave Shi Yuan? Jia Guan doesn't have to send any counselors, just a military general, so why not just  How about letting Gao Pei go? Then bring someone smarter. Yes, that Tang Fang is good! It was his idea when Jia met the wolf in the cave and escaped. It was also him who made the decision to kill Zhang Lu and the deputy general who defended the city in Hanzhong City.  What an idea. This person is very good at handling problems when the situation arises. Jia estimates that he is in Hanzhong now and can wait for us on the way."

    Pang Tong said: "If we send General Gao Pei, it is better to send General Yang Hong. General Yang is a brave and strategic general, and with Tang Fang recognized by the state pastor, it can be somewhat effective. Humph. What kind of military consultation?  Ma Chao is not just showing us a high profile. It would be nice to let our special envoy take a look around the military camp."

    That night, Liu Jia ordered someone to call Yang Hong over to discuss important matters.  This man who had surrendered to Zhang Lu with Zhuo Ying felt frightened when he saw Liu Jia. After coming in and paying his respects, he lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

    Pang Tong chuckled softly and said: "General Yang, the past is in the past. In the past, everyone was their own master. Lord Zhou Mu was magnanimous and naturally would not hold you accountable. Besides, you made a lot of contributions in the Hanzhong battle. Now you are  Great meritorious service. There is no need to belittle oneself."

    "What you are trying to teach me is that the general is just deeply ashamed." Yang Hong said.

    Pang Tong said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I want to ask General Yang, do you know that Ma Chao is leading ten troops to fight against Cao Cao near Tongguan?"

    Yang Hong said quickly: "The general knows. And the general also knows that Ma Chao will be defeated, and even his roots in Guanzhong will be uprooted by Cao Cao."

    Liu Jia was stunned.  He quickly asked: "General, can you explain why Ma Chao must be defeated? He even pulled up the roots."

    Yang Hongdao: "Master Huizhou Mu. Ma Chao and the others have three fatal flaws. First, there are many people in the ten tribes with many thoughts, so it is difficult to truly unify their opinions. In the short term, there will not be much conflict, but over time, cracks will appear no matter whether they win or lose.  , it was only a matter of time before they could kill each other. Even before they could kill each other, they were destroyed by Cao Cao. There was no one who kept his word. All parties had their own plans and could not unite as one. This first  Defeat is inevitable. Second, the leaders of the ten tribes are all brave and unintelligent generals. Even if one general has a clever plan, it will be rejected by others. Except for simple and incompetent strategies such as rushing and retreating, which may be supported by everyone, it is really difficult to  Think about what good strategy they can discuss. How can a mob without any strategy deal with the scheming Cao Cao and their resourceful people? The lack of strategy is their second defeat. The third is arrogance, thinking that the Xiliang soldiers are strong,  There is no military formation in the world that they cannot break through, and there is no enemy that they cannot kill. As everyone knows, Cao Cao not only has brave and invincible generals, but also unyielding soldiers. Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. This is their third sure defeat. The final general estimates  Cao Cao will definitely use his advantage to attract all the soldiers in Guanzhong and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

    Pang Tong glanced at Yang Hong with satisfaction and then at Liu Jia.

    Liu Jia smiled and said: "General Yang is really brave and resourceful. The governor of this state plans to send you to Ma Chao's camp as a special envoy. General, are you willing?"

    "This, the general will not give up until he dies!" Yang Hong was startled for a moment, then said loudly.

    "Haha, we don't want the general to die. Why do they want the general to die during the war?" Pang Tong said meaningfully, and then changed the subject and said, "Since General Yang is our special envoy, if General Yang is required to go over, the general will agree"?What should we remind Ma Chao to pay attention to?  "

    Yang Hong thought seriously for a long time, and Liu Jia and Pang Tong did not question him.  After a while, Yang Hongcai said: "Let's start from two aspects. But it can only be advice. Whether Ma Chao will listen to it is really hard to say. In fact, even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, he will not be able to gain anything among their group of people.  effect, not to mention the low-level general. Therefore, the general only dares to say that he will do his best, and will never dare to agree to Master Zhou Mu's promise to let Ma Chao and others win."

    "Haha, since the general has said that Sun Wu can't do it, then we will definitely not force it on the general. I wonder what the general said about persuading Ma Chao to start from two aspects?" Pang Tong asked.

    "The first is to be careful of Cao Cao and the others' counter-intentional tactics. Allies are most prone to inequality and suspicion. Things that don't exist in the first place may turn friends into enemies. If the enemy deliberately uses counter-intuitive tactics, the allies will easily fall into the trap.  . The second thing is to be careful of Cao Cao taking advantage of Ma Chao and others' excessive desire for victory and forcing them to win quickly, and seduce them into being fooled." Yang Hong said confidently, raising his head at this point.

    Pang Tong laughed loudly after hearing this. Seeing the surprise on Yang Hong's face, he smiled and said to Liu Jia: "Haha, it seems that Tong was not wrong about the person. This envoy belongs to you. Go to Tongguan with Ma Chao's envoy tomorrow.  Note that General Yang's mission is to make Ma Chao's army hold on for as long as possible in front of Cao Jun, but don't be too gesticulating to make Ma Chao and the others think that we have any intentions. You can just remind Ma Chao of the two aspects just mentioned. The specifics  In the planning of the battle plan, if they ask the general to participate, the general will participate. They don't want the general to know, and the general should not force it."
