"Check! Check it out for me! Ma Chao angrily tore the report in his hand in his hand, tightly squeezed the Luo Qi sachet in his hand, his face was extremely pale, and he said to the ugly brother: "Half a year ago, I mixed into the Xuanming Hall and began to arrange, and a new assassination plan was made overnight...... So carefully arranged, plotted to act, tell me, why is the person who assassinated not Yuan Shao but Gao Ran?! Moreover, the shadow stronghold lurking in Jizhou can be destroyed in one fell swoop! ”

Ma Chao, who is in a high position and above power, has already been tempered to a cold and hard state of mind in thousands of expeditions. Supposedly, this failed assassination led to the loss of the Shadow Elite, which should have been a strategic failure for him. What he has to do is to weigh the impact of this failure on the overall situation of the world and make amends.

However, Duanmu Ruoyu is different, she is the hero of the initial formation of Shadow, and it is infiltrated into the memory of Ma Chao's life. At the same time, Ma Chao is not a ruthless machine after all. He is affectionate and righteous, in the midst of killing and sinking again and again, the bottom line he gives himself in his heart is to deal with the enemy as cold as winter, but to treat those who care about him as warm as a spring breeze.

If not, he couldn't imagine that he would become a slave of Blood Howl in the future, a demon who likes to set off a monstrous rain of blood. Therefore, at this time, after learning the news of Duanmu Ruo's foolish death, he was so angry and out of control!

"My lord, we have strictly investigated this matter, and there is absolutely no rebellion of the Shadows among them. The only explanation is that Duanmu Ruoyu's identity has long been exposed, and the person who will plan it seems to be deliberately trying to wait until this moment. The ugly brother's face was also gloomy, and he replied in a low voice.

After listening to the ugly brother's explanation, Ma Chao struggled to suppress the monstrous anger in his heart, he clenched his fists fiercely twice, and then slowly sat back in his position, his eyes were calm and angry, like a volcano that could erupt at any time: "The Ma family's assassination of Yuan Shao was already a strong political drive, if someone deliberately waited until this moment, it was obvious that it was to lead Yuan Shao's anger to the Ma family." This kind of conspiracy makes me feel a sense of déjà jà vu........"

"The lord is talking about Cao Cao? ......." A military discussion the day before yesterday gave the ugly brother a preliminary understanding of the political disputes, and at this time Ma Chao said this, he reflexively thought of the people who benefited from it.

"It won't be Cao Cao or his advisors, such a feminine and hidden method, only one person can make it." Ma Chao's heart has once again added the killing intent to that person: the poisonous snake that sits in the supreme position, but is bent on biting Ma Chao's heartache, makes Ma Chao hateful!

But what's even more terrifying is how that person broke his wonderful assassination and destroyed the paving opportunity for the Ma family to annex the Yuan family in one fell swoop? You must know that if this matter is not a coincidence, then it can be deeply pushed, Liu Xie has left a chess piece with huge energy by Yuan Shao's side.

And this is the most terrifying.

At this time, Xun Yu of the Ministry of War hurriedly walked into Ma Chao's tent, did not look at Ma Chao's face, and said directly: "Lord, Yuan Shao raised an army of 400,000 to denounce Cao Cao, and went straight to the middle line of Guandu, it seems that he is going to honor the "Asking for Cao Xuanwen". At this moment, I have left Yecheng, and it is expected that after six days, I will be able to run to Guandu! ”

"That's how it should be!" Ma Chao angrily smashed the desk with one palm, and said loudly: "Summoning the civil and military to come to the discussion, the Ma family and Yuan Shao have reached the time of a decisive battle!" ”

When Xun You heard this, he saw Ma Chao's gloomy and angry face, and after his eyes turned, he quietly said goodbye and informed everyone to go - the Ma family's assassination mission was newly failed, Yuan Shao was furious, how could such a self-deceptive and suspicious plan escape Ma Chao's eyes?

But the ugly brother was still unwilling at this time, and took the opportunity to admonish: "Lord, although Duanmu Ruoyu's line is broken, Mu Yuanfeng and Tang Xiaomi are still fighting with the Red Eagle Cavalry. Now that Yuan Shao has come out of the nest this time, we don't need to assassinate again, and continue to be at the bottom of the kettle... Draw, draw? ”

"No, from now on, there is no need to mention this kind of strategy." Ma Chao waved his hand a little dejectedly and said, "After this plan is revealed, there will be no chance to assassinate Yuan Shao in the future." This time I was wrong, war, there is no shortcut. ”

After a while, everyone arrived, but seeing Ma Chao's expression, they all stood with their hands down, and they didn't even dare to make a sound. And Ma Chao really didn't have much of a mood to open his mouth at the moment, and with a slight wave of his hand, he asked Xun You to tell Yuan Shao about the situation of Yuan Shao's entry into the army.

After Xun Youdao finished, although the generals had not yet completely figured out what the connection between Yuan Shao and Cao and the Ma family was, everyone's eyes were shining, showing the sharpness and alertness in their hearts. And Tian Feng was the first to come out of the queue at this time, and said: "Lord, Yuan Shao has always liked to show off Confucian generals, this time it seems to be attacking Cao Cao, but Weichen thinks that he must be plotting against the Ma family when he sends troops this time!" ”

After the words fell, all the generals gasped, and at this time, they finally understood why Ma Chao was so solemn and dignified today. But Xun You wanted to make things more transparent, and said directly: "The military department has received a report that the plan to assassinate Yuan Shao has failed. As Dr. Tian said, in a word, Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops this time was definitely for the Ma family. ”

Ma Chao glanced at Xun You lightly, calmed the anger in his chest, and said slowly: "Yes, now it's time for the Ma family and the Yuan family to compete with each other." Inviting the princes to come here today is to discuss a military strategy to defeat Yuan Shao! ”

"My lord, we must also take action in today's plan, and the first task is to cross the Yellow River and capture Huai County, which is governed by Hanoi. With the posture of central control, resist Yuan Shao. Xun You also said that it seems that when he gathered everyone, he already had a draft in his heart: "Yuan Shao's suspicious plan seems to be clever, but in fact it is self-deception. If our army can capture Huaixian before Yuan Shao's 400,000 troops arrive, it will occupy a geographical advantage, and its morale will be strong, and it will be invincible. ”

"Xun Shangshu is reasonable," Tian Feng and Xun Yu sang and harmonized at this time, and cooperated tacitly: "However, if you want to attack Huai County, you must first attack Yan Liang, a total of 220,000 troops in the county, it is impossible to sit back and watch Huai County be surrounded and not move." Even, Wei Chen speculated for many years that Yan Liang should have received Yuan Shao's order to march into Huai County at this moment. ”

"If Yuan Shao really attacked the Ma family, then the middle line would definitely be empty, and Cao Cao would not have a trace of action?" Yang Fu also said at this time: "Although Cao Cao's army has already leaned towards Qing and Xuzhou, the middle line is empty, how can he not let Yuan Shao's 400,000 army show off his might here, right?" ”

"Otherwise, with my understanding of Cao Gongzhi, if Cao Gong gets the news of Yuan Shao's large-scale attack on Guandu. Not only will they not send troops to resist, but they will also mobilize all the main forces of Guandu to the eastern front. Guo Jia shook his head, frowned slightly, and said: "Cao Gong is wise and martial, and ordinary people dare not do it." From this point of view, this time the Ma family has to deal with it independently. ”

"Humph! Cao Cao had a good calculation. Ma Chao smiled coldly, and the corners of his mouth showed a scoundrel-like ruffian: "He wants An Ansheng to fight Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and he really wants to take up all the good things in the world." Don't forget, there is still a covenant between Ma Cao. And the 400,000 troops of the Ma family will need at least a day to cross the Yellow River, and someone will have to contain the army of Yan Lianggong County. Today, I have to ask Cao Cao to help with the day job, otherwise, he will forget who begged who in the first place! ”

"Lord, you won't ....... again" Fa Zheng looked at Ma Chao's expression, his face couldn't help but become a little strange, and he asked.

"Yes, I just want to play a scoundrel and send someone to Cao Cao to send a letter, telling him that he must make some movement in Guandu to contain Yan Liang's army. Otherwise, the Ma family will immediately withdraw from Hanoi, refuse to accept the tiger prison, and see how he Cao Cao cleans up this mess! ”

Since ancient times, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal ones are afraid of the dead, and the most feared one is the shameless one like Ma Chao. It can be imagined how wonderful Cao Cao's face should have been after receiving Ma Chao's letter.......
