Chapter 49 Cao Cao's plot

Chapter 49 Cao Cao's plot

Liangzhou,

Hanyang County.

Han Sui listened to the report from his subordinates, and couldn't hide the color on his face:

"Now, almost all of Xiliang is in my hands. That Ma Chao can't afford to make a big splash!"

The generals under his command are complimenting again and again:
"Congratulations, lord!"

"My lord, you can submit to the imperial court, please make me the governor of Xiliang!"

"Now in Xiliang, who else can compete with the lord? Ma Chao is nothing more than a wild dog fleeing in embarrassment."

Hearing the compliments from his subordinates,
Han Sui was also quite proud, yes, this Xiliang, is there anyone more suitable than himself to be the governor of Xiliang?

Moreover, Ma Chao now has only more than ten thousand remnants of the army, and his own [-] army is chasing and killing him, can he still have a way out?

"Where is Ma Chao now?" Han Sui asked cautiously.

"Han Sui just got rid of our army's pursuit and went to Beidi County." The general said.

Han Sui sneered: "It's just right! Beidi County is also the last place where I will rule Xiliang. I ordered the army to go to Beidi, occupy Xiliang completely, and kill Ma Chao!"

"promise!"

Han Sui raised [-] Han troops from Xiliang, [-] Qiang people, and a total of [-] troops sent to the North. For a time, people in Beidi County were panicked, and many people even surrendered. banner.

That is an army of [-], including [-] tiger and wolf divisions. If these Qiang people break the city, it is really unknown how much the people in the city will have left.

The news that Ma Chao retreated to Beidi and Han Sui's [-] army attacked Beidi County spread quickly.

But for the Central Plains, people in the world are now focusing on the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

"Although Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and took Youzhou, in fact he only took half of Youzhou. Liaodong was still under the control of Gongsundu, and this half of Youzhou, after the war, could not How many soldiers and horses will be dispatched."

"Not only that, Yuan Shao also wants to garrison troops in Youzhou to deter the local area."

"As for Bingzhou, most of the nine counties in Bingzhou are now occupied by grassland forces such as the Huns. What Yuan Shao can control is only two counties."

"Yuan Shao can't mobilize troops in Bingzhou. And Qingzhou has been troubled by the Yellow Turban for a long time, and now it can't get troops. Therefore, Yuan Shao can only rely on Jizhou."

Yanzhou, Xuchang.

Guo Jiazheng talked eloquently, analyzing the current situation.

Xun Yu nodded and said:
"However, the situation of our army is not good. Xuzhou is now occupied by Liu Bei. Although Yuzhou is under control, after a long period of war, the people's livelihood in Sili is also withered. Now, the only place that can be used is Yanzhou."

"Yanzhou cannot compare with Jizhou in terms of population, money and food. No matter how weak Yuan Shao is, he can mobilize at least 30 troops, but our army can only mobilize [-] troops."

"What's more, Liu Bei in Xuzhou has to guard against it."

Cao Cao, who sat at the top, frowned slightly after listening to the analysis of his two advisers: "What about the situation in other places?"

Cheng Yu said:

"Sun Ce is at war with Liu Biao in the south. The two sides are constantly fighting in Lujiang, Jiangxia and other places. They must not be able to take care of us."

"As for Lu Bu in the west, he seems to be gearing up to attack Xiliang recently, so he probably won't be able to have any impact on our army."

Cao Cao nodded slightly: "That is to say, no one can influence us now except Liu Bei, right?"

"Prime Minister, the current situation is like this. Except for Liu Bei, the forces of other princes will not affect us. And once we fight Yuan Shao, Liu Bei will definitely get involved!" Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao thought for a moment, raised his hand and said:

"Xun Yu drafted an edict from the Son of Heaven, conferring on Sun Ce the prefect of Jiangxia and Han Sui the governor of Xiliang. At the same time, conferring Zhang Liao the prefect of the North and Huangzu the prefect of Lujiang."

Xun Yu immediately said, "No, I'll do it right away."

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction: "Let them go dog-eat-dog. After I finish Yuan Shao, I'll deal with them one by one!"

In a few days,
The envoys of the imperial court went to Chang'an, Xiliang, Jingzhou and Jiangdong successively.

Everyone can see Cao Cao's blatant conspiracy, but now the situation is that you have to follow Cao Cao's conspiracy.

Sun Ce really needs the flag of Jiangxia prefect to occupy Jiangxia, and he will definitely not recognize the Lujiang prefect that the imperial court entrusted to Huang Zu!
In Sun Ce's eyes, his general Ling Tong is the best candidate for Lujiang prefect.

As for Liu Biao, it is false to say that he has no interest in Lujiang. As for Jiangxia, that is the territory of Jingzhou. How could he let Sun Ce become the prefect of Jiangxia to threaten Jingzhou?
Therefore, Cao Cao's conspiracy forced the princes everywhere to follow Cao Cao's ideas.

Han Sui was very satisfied with the title of Inspector of Xiliang by the imperial court. With this banner, he could justifiably occupy the whole of Xiliang!

After winning the title of Governor of Xiliang, Han Sui couldn't wait to enter the Northland. The army marched at least three points faster than usual!
As for Chang'an, after receiving the canonized envoy from the imperial court, Lu Bu also accepted Cao Cao's kindness with satisfaction.

"Wen Yuan, it's good news for our army that the imperial court named you the prefect of the Northland," Lu Bu said.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean our army will go directly to the North?" Zhang Liao asked.

Lu Bu nodded slightly: "That's right!"

"Ma Chao can't hold on anymore. If Han Sui really occupies Xiliang, it will undoubtedly be a threat to our army."

Chen Gong took over the conversation and said:
"Now Wen Yuan is the righteous prefect of the Northland, and he can directly lead the army into the Northland. If Han Sui invades, our army will expel him directly, or even start a war with him. Ma Chao will definitely become our army's help."

"If you can surrender Ma Chao, relying on the Ma family's prestige in Xiliang for many years and the prestige in the Qiang people, as long as you defeat Han Sui, then Xiliang will win in one battle!"

Lu Bu got up slowly: "At that time, I occupy Yongliang and Chang'an, and I will have the capital to fight against Cao Cao and Yuan Shao! I can enter Bingzhou in the north, and go to Guanzhong in the south. It will be like the Qin State in the past, and the tiger will see the Central Plains!"

"Exactly." Chen Gong said.

Everyone was talking, when suddenly the messenger came to report:

"Report! My lord, Ma Chao led an army to vote, and now he has arrived outside Huaili City. General Gao Shun has sent a letter, please let me know."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up: "Here comes the reason! All the generals are listening!"

"The end is here!"

Looking at the generals with burning eyes on both sides, Lu Bu said: "This battle will determine the development of our army for the next five years!"

"However, our army is not as good as Han Sui in mobilizing troops and horses. Now our army can mobilize only [-] cavalry from Chang'an, [-] cavalry from Yongzhou, and [-] new troops from Lantian."

"But the [-] new troops in Lantian will be of great use. Therefore, our army only has [-] cavalry and Ma Chao's remnants in this battle."

"With no more than 4 horses to face Han Sui's [-] army, everyone, are you confident?"

All the generals shouted in unison:

"Definitely!"
