After pondering for a long time, Ma Chao finally gave up Xun You's suggestion and said: "A gentleman should do something and refrain from doing something! Although a fair plan can solve the urgent need! However, this time it was Yuan Shao and others who raised their troops to attack me first. It¡¯s like someone wants to slap me, but I give him a sweet date, even if it¡¯s poisonous! As a man of integrity, you must give blood for blood, and you will be ridiculed by the world!¡± "Young Master, what you say makes sense! Back then, we only had 7,000 cavalry in our hands, but we were able to defeat tens of thousands of Southern Huns cavalry. Now, Young Master, we have 350,000 elite soldiers, thousands of generals, sophisticated weapons, and complete arms. Far from being comparable to Yuan Shao! Moreover, the rule is in order and the people are loyal. As long as the young master rises to the top and shouts, he can raise an army of one million at any time. Why worry about Yuan Shao's rabble? He is willing to lead the army to support Nanyang and capture Wen Chou and Zhu alive. The second soul will be presented to the young master's tent!" As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, Pang De couldn't help but come out to fight. Ma Chao was overjoyed and laughed and said: "What Ling Ming said is exactly what I want! Although Gongda's plan can pacify all the princes at a very small cost, once the princes attack each other and fight in melee, it will definitely consume a lot of the strength of the Han Dynasty! In the eyes of this general, both the people of the south and the people of the north are the subjects of my great Han Dynasty! The great Han Dynasty¡¯s national power can only be consumed by expanding its territory, and we must not fight against our own people!¡± ¡°My lord is wise! !¡± This plan is excellent and brilliant! But my ambition is not limited to the territory of the Han Dynasty? I should double or even expand the territory of the Han Dynasty in my lifetime. A quick victory will help preserve the vitality of the entire Han Dynasty. On the other hand, if all the princes, big and small, are allowed to attack each other, more people will suffer, and if everyone is dead, what else will they use to conquer the aliens? " Everyone was completely impressed, and the generals were a little excited, Ma Chao was absolutely convinced. They are militants, and it is enough to quell the civil strife, but once they are outside the scope of the big men, burning, killing and looting are indispensable. Ma Chao's campaign against the Southern Huns rebels is the best example. At that time, their opportunity to make meritorious deeds will come. Ju Shou said: "In my lord's opinion, how should we deal with it now!" Ma Chao said: "Just follow the plan of the Lord and Master! For the time being, send troops to deal with Yuan Shao, and use the dangerous pass of the fortified city to bring down Yuan Shao's supply line, while buying off Xu and Jing Once Gongsun Zan in the north is calmed down, he can concentrate his superior forces to defeat them one by one. " Jushou nodded and said: "Gongda's plan is a trick, but it is slow to take effect, but it has no effect. Negative effects! But Lu Bu¡¯s attitude is very important to us. We need the master to make plans early!¡± Ma Chao had a headache after hearing this. With the advantage of time travel, he could guess what Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were thinking, but Lu Bu is a capricious person. Just like a child who has not grown up, he always acts according to his temper. No one knows what he will do next? If he defected to Yuan Shao and joined forces with Cao Cao to send troops to Jizhou, Ma Xiu and Ju Hu would definitely not be able to stop these three armies. After much thought, Ma Chao still had to ask Ji Xunyou. He said, "Gongda and Lu Bu have a long history of friendship. I wonder if there is a good plan to appease Lu Bu?" Xun You caressed his beard and thought for a while. Suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he cupped his fists and said: "L¨¹ Bu was born in Bingzhou, has unparalleled martial arts, is arrogant, and is unruly. The person who is most unconvinced in his heart is undoubtedly the lord! At the moment, Lu Bu sits on most of Yanzhou, and is between the two warlords waiting for price. Gu, waiting for the opportunity, is indeed very tricky!" As he said that, he looked at Ma Chao with a thoughtful look in his eyes and continued: "If the lord wants to appease Lu Bu, he must first figure out what Lu Bu needs most now. It won't be difficult to solve it by giving the right medicine!" Ma Chao nodded repeatedly and said after a while: "L¨¹ Bu and this general have always had a grudge, but this general has always gained the upper hand. Lu Bu now wants status and territory, and he needs everything he needs. It¡¯s nothing more than war horses and food!¡± Guarantee, if your lord can endure the momentary conflict of spirits and temporarily bow to Lu Bu, I guarantee that he will never cooperate with Yuan Shao to send troops to Jizhou, and he can also stop Cao Cao for my lord!" Ma Chao frowned and nodded: "Han Xin back then! Wang Shang can endure the humiliation, and Gaozu also came from a rough background. If it is for the sake of the overall situation, why should I bear it for a while? Please teach me!" "My lord, you are so polite!" Xun You said, "Lu Bu detained Guo Jia and Qin earlier. The lord did not agree to Lu Bu's unreasonable request, and Lu Bu did not agree to Yuan Shao's proposal of marriage. This was the time to win over Lu Bu and destroy the marriage between the two. Good time! " "Please give me a try!" Husband? In addition, the lord must give Lu Bu some favors and support him with 5,000 horses and 500,000 grains in the name of the court! In exchange for Guo Jia and Qin Yi, it will be paid for by Xun You! " He was a little hesitant after hearing this. Liu Xie was his brother-in-law. Once the little girl from Lu Bu's family followed Liu Xie, he would be a generation younger than Lu Bu. The more important war horses and food were in short supply. It was impossible for Lu Bu to truly surrender to him. If he was given food and war horses, and he cooperated with Yuan Shao to attack him, wouldn't he be giving someone a handle? Seeing Ma Chao's hesitation, Xun You persuaded: "My lord is afraid that Lu Bu will defect to Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu is not afraid that my lord will send troops to attack him! Besides, Yuan Shaosu looks down on Lu Bu, so wooing him now is just a temporary expedient. The two of them We will never cooperate sincerely. If we add fire at this moment, the two of them may turn against each other! I am willing to act as an envoy to Lu Bu and ensure that I will complete the mission and send Guo Jia and Qin Yi to my lord!" Ju Shou and Tian Feng also nodded in agreement with Xun You's proposal. Ma Chao had no better way. Although this plan was somewhat risky, if Xun You took action, the chance of success was still high. He immediately said: "In this case, it is not necessary to delay the matter. Daming will bring the emperor's edict to Yanzhou. If Lv Bu is willing to dedicate his daughter to the emperor, he can be regarded as a general of chariots and cavalry, and his position will be comparable to that of the three princes. In addition, he will need 500,000 grains and 5,000 horses. Provided by Jizhou and Bingzhou!" "No!" Xun You, Jushu and Li Yan quickly accepted the order. Ma Chao said again: "Yuan Shao's army has already set off. Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu in Jingzhou were worried that they could not resist it, so they sent envoys to ask for help! The Gongda plan has been successful, and the next step is to implement the second step, sending people to lead the army to support Jingzhou. We can¡¯t let Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu collapse, at least we must persist until we have conquered Youzhou!¡± ¡°The last general is asking for a fight!¡± ¡°The generals are also asking for a fight!¡±¡ , one after another asked for a fight. Ma Chao glanced at him and already had the best candidate in his mind. He immediately shouted: "Pang De, Xu Shu, Ma Dai, Wang Shuang, and Wu Kuang, listen to the order!" "Mo Jiang is here!" After hearing this, the five people immediately stood up. Ma Chao said: "You have just failed to attack Shuzhong, and now is a good time to make a contribution! I ordered you and others to send 100,000 troops to Nanyang to support Zhang Xiu! With Pang De as the commander, Xu Shu as the military advisor, Ma Dai, Wu Shuang, Wu Kuang As a lieutenant, we must keep Wen Chou's troops south of Nanyang! The necessary food and grass can be obtained from the treasury in Hongnong and Luoyang!" "Follow the order!" Ma Chao suddenly remembered something and said to Pang De in a low voice. : "Both Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu are rare talents, and they came out of Xiliang like me. Ling Mingke made it clear to them that we welcome them to join Ma Chao's camp!" Pang De said: "Young Master, don't worry, I will eventually understand what to do. Do it!" Ma Chao nodded and shouted: "Zhang Liao, Fazheng, Ma Tie, and Zhang Zhang are here!" "Order Zhang Liao, Fazheng, and Zhang Zhang to lead 50,000 troops out of Wuguan to support Liu Biao in Xiangyang. ! Zhang Liao is the commander-in-chief, Fazheng is the military advisor, and Zhang Zhang is the deputy general. Ma Tieke took his general Hu Fu and dispatched 20,000 troops to the southern Huns. They followed Zhang Liao's command and dispatch and their task was to block Sun Jian, Liu Xun and Yan. Bai Hu and others must not let them go out of Jiangdong! They can ask Liu Biao for the necessary supplies!" "I promise to complete the mission!" Zhang Liao was also full of confidence. Ma Chao said: "Jingzhou is densely populated and mostly plains, which is suitable for cavalry to attack. Sun Jian and others are good at water warfare, and they have few cavalry! You must give full play to the advantages of cavalry, plus Liu Biao's navy, blocking Sun Jian is not possible." Difficult task! You still have a task, which is to recruit talents from Jingzhou, especially Wei Yan and Ma Liang. If you get the help of these two people, you will get twice the result with half the effort!" Ma Chao nodded, and Pang De and Zhang Liao were there to deal with Wen Chou and Most likely nothing will happen to Sun Jian. Pang De's martial arts skills are no worse than Wen Chou's, Wang Shuang can also defeat Zhu Ling, and Xu Shu is familiar with the local terrain and smart, so it shouldn't be difficult to defeat Wen Chou. And Zhang Liao was originally Jiangdong's nemesis. The Battle of Xiaoyaojin in history created a generation of famous generals whose name could stop Jiangdong's children from crying at night. This time, he was paired with a Fazheng whose military ability was not weaker than Zhuge Liang's, as well as several With thousands of elite cavalry, self-protection is definitely no problem. It's a pity that Le Jin still has to sit in Dashan Pass to guard against Liu Yan in Shuzhong, so he can't participate in the Central Plains War. Having arranged the affairs in Jingzhou, Ma Chao planned to personally attack Gongsun Zan. The two generals Zhao Yun and Zhang He and their subordinates were enough. He immediately said: "Yuan Hao will stay in Luoyang for the time being and take charge of the capital. My father will be in charge of the overall situation in the Guanzhong area! This general can do it!" I will leave your commanding general Dian Wei under your command, and Lu Bu will come.??, you can resist it for a while! In addition, the ordnance battalions in Chang'an, Jinyang and Yecheng must also work harder, and Yuan Hao is fully responsible for logistics scheduling issues! "(To be continued.)
