    In the blink of an eye, in the spring of 1944, a war that had been brewing for half a year finally began.  Ma Chao sat in Wuchao and commanded the overall situation. Seeing that the north was pacified, he decided to fight Yuan Shao quickly.  To this end, he carefully discussed with Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Ju Shou and other advisers, and made the latest strategic deployment in response to the current situation.  First, Zhang He, who was stationed in Qingzhou, was ordered to lead 50,000 troops to attack Yanzhou, pushing the troops directly to Cao Cao's rear.  This can alleviate the pressure on Lu Bu. Once Lu Bu escapes, Qu Yi and Cao Cao will naturally be unlucky. In addition, it can also prevent Cao Cao from making a desperate effort to attack Xu Huang and Wenpin in Xuzhou together with Yan Liang and Sun Ce.  Secondly, Xu Huang and Wenpin were ordered to temporarily go on the defensive and mobilize the people of Xuzhou to resist Yan Liang and Sun Ce's hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops.  There is no need to extend the battle line so long now. Ma Chao is personally stationed in Wuchao, and Pang De is approaching the ancient city. As long as one of the two armies can break through Yuan's army and counterattack into the hinterland of Yu and Yangzhou, Yuan Shao will definitely send his army back.  save.  In this way, Yuan Shao's troops can be gathered together for a decisive battle, so as not to delay it for too long and waste people and money.  Finally, Ma Chao personally led the elite forces to invade Yanzhou, completely wiped out all the warlords in Yanzhou, and brought the land-rich Yanzhou into his own territory.  Having made up his mind, Ma Chao handed over the task of guarding Jizhou to the veterans Huang Zhong and Juhu, and he, together with Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Zhao Fu, Cheng Huan and others, led an 80,000-strong army to attack Yanzhou!  At the same time, an order was sent to Pang De in Jingzhou, asking him to try to capture the ancient city, trap Runan, and force Yuan Shao to return to the army to save himself.  Half of the 80,000-strong army were Zhao Yun's cavalry, including Gao Shun's heavy armored infantry.  For several months, Gao Shun has been stationed at Sishui Pass and can send troops to attack Chenliu at any time.  Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao was still confronting Qu Yi's general Han Meng in Daliang City.  As long as you coordinate with Zhang Miao, it is not difficult to capture Chen Liu.  Everything was ready. Just when Ma Chao was about to cross the river and send out troops, soldiers suddenly came to report.  Lu Bu came to ask for an audience and had an urgent military situation.  Ma Chao frowned, and immediately ordered someone to bring him in. After careful questioning, it turned out that Cao Cao and Qu Yi could not help but take action. The two armies totaled 100,000 people and attacked Dongjun.  Lu Bu led his generals to fight hard and could not be easily defeated. However, when Cao Cao saw that Ma Chao used Xiangyang cannon to attack the city, he also had the idea of ????trebuchet.  After months of preparation, Cao Cao gathered all the skilled craftsmen in the army.  Finally, the hard work paid off. Although the trebuchet developed was far less sharp than the Xiangyang cannon, the principle was the same.  Also use heavy objects instead of human effort.  The efficiency of the siege was greatly increased, and Lu Bu suffered a lot of casualties in less than two days.  Lu Bu was afraid that he could not resist, so he quickly sent a pair of troops to sneak out of Dongjun at night to ask for help from Ma Chao, and sent him a handwritten letter, which said: If Ma Chao does not send troops to destroy Cao, he will join Yuan Shao's camp, and war will inevitably happen in the future.  To each other, the threat is self-evident.  Ma Chao always takes soft things rather than hard ones. After reading the letter, he couldn't help but became furious. He stood up and shouted: "You are a servant of the third surname. If it weren't for my promotion, how could you be where you are today? You don't want to repay your kindness, so you just keep repeating it.  That's it. How dare you threaten me? It's so hateful!" After saying this, he handed Lu Bu's handwriting to Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others for circulation. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out.  Everyone was indignant, and Guo Jia persuaded him: "Lord, please calm down! I have a plan to get the best of both worlds, and I'm sure to make the lord get rid of the evil in his chest!" Ma Chao said, "What's the clever idea of ??being a filial piety? Let's talk about it!" Guo Jia said: "L¨¹ Bu  He is courageous, capricious, and forgetful of justice. He is nothing more than a man! It is difficult to use such a person for your own use. In this case, it is better to let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao destroy Lu Bu's vitality!  Ma Chao sighed: "I don't think so. However, Lu Bu also has Chen Gong, Zhang Yang and other wise men around him. If Yuan and Cao's coalition forces cannot resist, they will definitely open the city and surrender! This will make us wait for more!"  A powerful enemy?" Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord only needs to make a fuss about it, and it is easy to cut off Lu Bu's wings. If he surrenders to Yuan Shao alone, what will my lord fear from a warrior? With my lord's courage, and General Huang,  General Zhao can defeat Lu Bu, and he can definitely capture him in one battle! " Ma Chao nodded. If Lu Bu had no soldiers under his command, even if he defected to Yuan Shao, he could only act as a thug. In this way, it would be difficult to affect the overall situation. He immediately said: "  Please tell me carefully first!" Guo Jiadao said: "This matter is easy to handle. My lord can verbally agree to the envoy to send troops to rescue. In actual operations, he only needs to send a pair of cavalry deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou to disturb the enemy. In this way, Lu Bu will definitely fight with all his strength.  The Yuan-Cao coalition is fighting fiercely, and they will never surrender their dignity until the last moment! This strategy has three advantages. First, it can use Lu Bu's help to weaken the forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. On the contrary, it can also use the Yuan-Cao coalition to cut off Lu Bu's wings. Lord!  Just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! In addition, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, is still confronting Yuan Jun. Zhang Miao has a big feud with Yuan Shao and he betrayed Cao Cao before and welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou!If he surrenders to Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao will definitely ask to surrender to his lord, so that he can reap the benefits!  " Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed and said, "This is a great plan!  Fengxian really has the talent of a king!  However, this plan still needs to be perfected. I not only want to get rid of Lu Bu, but also make money from Cao Cao. I simply send troops to contain Qu Yi's main force and give Lu Bu and Cao Cao a fair chance for a decisive battle.  He killed Lu Bu with his own hands, and then ordered Zhang He to send troops to kill Cao Cao, who was seriously injured!  " Guo Jia nodded and said: "Cao Cao and Lu Bu have a hatred for taking away their wives. They are natural enemies!  If the lord can hold back Qu Yi and Wen Chou, they will fight to the end at all costs.  When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. This plan works!  " Ma Chao discussed some details with Guo Jia, and finally met the envoy again. He verbally stated that he would immediately send troops to Yanzhou to attack Qu Yi and Wen Chou. At the same time, Zhang He of Qingzhou would also send troops to approach Yanzhou, and promised that as long as Lu Bu  If Cao Cao can be destroyed, the post of Yanzhou Shepherd will still belong to Lu Bu in the future! When the envoy left happily, Ma Chao hurriedly sent Meteor Horse to Xuzhou to convey the order, asking Zhang He to train his troops and horses in place and not to attack Cao Cao for the time being.  , he reorganized his army and prepared to cross the river to meet Qu Yi's 200,000 troops. For this reason, Ma Chao changed his plan to attack Chen Liu with all his strength, concentrated his elite forces on Baima, and ordered Zhao Fu to take advantage of Qu Yi and Wen Chou's attack on Dongjun.  He and Cheng Huan built a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River. Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan were originally local generals in Jizhou. They had been active in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River for many years. They had hundreds of large and small warships in their hands. It was too easy to build a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River.  Later, Ma Chao left Huang Zhong to lead 20,000 troops to garrison Wuchao, and ordered Gao Shun and Cao Xing to send troops from Sishui Pass to Chenliu Daliang, while he personally led 60,000 troops from Baima across the river to Jiyin, the garrison of Yanzhou.  Li Feng was originally Lu Bu's general, but he surrendered because he could not stop Chunyu Qiong's offensive. L¨¹ Bu killed Li Feng's family in anger. As a result, Chunyu Qiong and Qu Yi believed in Li Feng even more.  , still let him garrison Jiyin, while leaving brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to assist Li Feng. The three of them naturally knew the movements of Ma Chao's army, but they only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, which was not enough to resist.  The three of them had already spread the news outside Dongjun City. Qu Yi did not want to give up Dongjun, which was about to be conquered. He immediately assigned 50,000 troops to Wen Chou and asked him to rush to Jiyin to temporarily delay Ma Chao.
