Chapter 832: Expensive Launch Fees
Gao Ran is one of the 'Four Pillars of Hebei', and his ability is naturally good.
The matter of Tao, no matter what clues Gao Ran investigated. But it is obvious that those clues are absolutely indispensable to Liu Xie's shadow. Judging from the fact that Cao Cao was able to capture Dingtao and his soldiers and horses recovered to 100,000, it must be the result of Yuan Shao's rapid increase in support for Cao Cao after Dingtao was defeated by Lu Bu and Yan Liangwen's ugly incident.
And now that Gao Ran is still in Cao Ying, it can be guessed that Gao Ran has not reported the results of his investigation to Yuan Shao in time. It is conceivable that when Gao Ran knew that Lu Bu had attacked Yan Liangwen and was ugly, that is, the culprit of the party Liu Xie, who was making trouble, what kind of anger should Yuan Shao, who understood that he had been tricked as a monkey, be angry?
Don't think about it, the first to bear the brunt is naturally Gao Ran, a famous general who may 'delay the military plane'!
Therefore, at this time, Gao Ran is definitely the most aware and uncomfortable poor star on the field.
At this time, Ma Chao summoned Gao Ran, that is, Gao Ran was forced to the cusp - at this time, Gao Ran's words not only represent his personal will, but represent the entire Jizhou Yuan Shao!
Cao Cao\/ If you want to use the 'Son of Heaven' and Yuan Shao to scare me Ma Chao, then I, Ma Chao, want to smear your bullshit son of heaven and separate your relationship with Yuan Shao!
And you have a high view, it's okay, you still help Cao Cao release cold arrows, you are really a golden sword and don't practice the silver sword (yin cheap), and the upper sword doesn't practice the lower sword (lower cheap). Brother doesn't have to do it now, it depends on how you make jokes!
Sure enough, after listening to Ma Chao's aggressive inquiry, Gao Ran was very silent for a moment, and then he actually saluted Ma Chao and said: "Gao Ran was retained by Cao Gong's money, so he had to stop the hussar general." Since the general also knew about Dingtao, Gao Ran naturally needed to report to the lord before he could say more here. At this moment, I hope that the general and Cao Gong will forgive the crime of disrespect........"
With that, Gao Ran waved his hand, and the two thousand red knights broke away from the Cao camp and left - Gao Ran chose not to see and not to be upset by the decision, although it seemed a bit evasive and scoundrel, but in terms of his gray edge status, this caution was necessary.
As soon as Gao Ran left, the atmosphere on the scene became weird. After Cao Cao sighed silently in his heart, he was unwilling to speak: "Since the hussar general has already expressed his intentions, it is inconvenient for Cao to say more. Let's exchange hostages with each other for today's events, and let us quit for the time being......... Goodbye on the battlefield in the future, I, Cao Mengde, will definitely be for the Han family and flatten the ........"
"Slow!" Ma Chao saw that Cao Cao still wanted to jump down his steps, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and put Cao Cao up again, and said: "At this time and that time, now, I want to use Xu Chu and Dian Wei to exchange the generals under Feng Xiangong!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Yes!" ”
"And, add all the remnants of Feng Xiangong's defeated prisoners!" With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Ma Chao added this sentence again.
"Ma Mengqi, don't deceive people too much!" This sentence is naturally not what Cao Cao said. Ma Chao looked intently, and saw a tiger-eyed general beside Cao Cao, who was pointing at himself with a big knife and shouting.
"Yuan Rang, Hugh is rude." Cao Cao waved his hand slightly, and after stopping the man, he also said with an unhappy expression: "Hussar general, this is inevitably difficult for some strong people, right?" I don't know what kind of opportunity the general has in his hands, so the lion opens his mouth? ”
Ma Chao still had a smile on his face, but when he looked at Xiahoudun, he couldn't help but look at his eyes a few more times: How could he feel so strange when he suddenly saw the sound Xiahoudun after getting used to the image of the 'one-eyed general' in the game and anime?
"Cao Gong is really clever, and Chao doesn't have any handle, but a secret report came from Chang'an just now. Ma Jiajun had already sent troops from Yangzhai County, bypassed Xuchang, captured Yingyang County, and cut off the grain route from Xuchang to Cao Gong........"
"Hateful!"
"Shameless!"
"Despicable!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Xiahoudun alone, but also the other generals of the Cao clan were also shocked. Even the two scribes behind Cao Cao, who had never spoken, became slightly moved.
One of them, who was like a gentle jade, inadvertently wrinkled the corners of his haggard eyes. I couldn't help but glance at the nine-foot-long, majestic-looking scribe beside him, and only after seeing the man hold back his mouth did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Ma Chao knew that those two were Cao Cao's right-hand men: Xun Yu, the Dinghai God Needle, and Cheng Yu, the Pillar of Optimus. It seems that Xun Yu wants Cao Cao to make a quick decision, clean up the mess as soon as possible, and redeploy the strategy. And Cheng Yu, who has a fiery and strong temperament, although he is angry for a while, but in the overall situation, he still agrees with Xun Yu's point of view.
It was obvious from the actions of the two men that they both thought that Cao Cao would agree to this humiliating quid pro quo.
But after Cao Cao thought for a moment, he actually smiled, and said with great interest: "If this is the case, Cao Mou should leave these remnants of the defeated generals to prevent them from boosting Fengxian's arrogance again." Why did the hussar general think that Cao would agree to such a quid pro quo? ”
"Because I'm here, this face, I have to let Cao Gong give some face, right?!" Ma Chao said with a smile, the smile in his eyes seemed to see Cao Cao like a friend for many years, kind and unpretentious.
However, after such a headless sentence that even made the generals of the Cao clan feel shameless, Cao Cao actually laughed, nodded and said: "Since the hussar general said this, then Cao naturally wants to sell the general's face, come and let those generals go!" ”
At this time, Ma Chao was also very enthusiastic, not only to Xu Chu with care, but even to Dian Wei, he also gave a few bottles of Hua Tuo's carefully researched Jinchuang medicine. Even those Xu Jiawei and the evil warriors, Ma Chao also expressed enough respect and stood up to see them back to the camp.
Sure enough, on the Cao side, under the guardianship of the Ludun Array and the Cao cavalry, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Cao Xing, Song Xian and other generals began to be released in turn. As a result, there were almost 9,000 prisoners and minor wounded who returned.
The loss of less than 10,000 troops was really exciting for Lu Bu. It's just that he has been holding up the urge to ask Ma Chao why Cao Cao let these people go so easily, which inevitably made the surprise on his face a little discounted.
It's just that for his often dark face, today's look is already rare. But when Ma Chao was receiving these captives with Lu Bu, he opened his mouth and said: "Pay attention, see if Cao Cao has mixed in with the fine work!" ”
When Lu Bu heard this, his face turned a little gloomy, and after glancing at the generals under his command a few times, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Ma Mengqi, you are really better than me." I just don't know, where did you learn this talent? ’
And after that, the two sides have nothing to say. After Ma Chao and Cao Cao said politely, they led each other's troops to retreat: this dragon and tiger fight ended like this. If it weren't for the fact that there were still many dead corpses on the battlefield as evidence, Ma Chao really thought that nothing had happened.
What's even more odious is that this war of inconsistencies should never have happened!
The first thing Ma Chao did after getting off the horse was to take a look at the ass of the elephant dragon Xiaohei. When he really saw that behind the little black buttocks, there were obvious traces of being stabbed. He realized that Xiao Hei didn't rush down the hill like a spring wild dog because he saw the red rabbit at all. Instead, someone deliberately played such a small trick in order to make the horse more than fighting!
Although there is no Ma Chao who did not see who that person was, as long as he used his brain to think about it, he could guess the most motivated person standing behind him at that time: Lu Qiling!
Lu Qiling, who remembered her parents in her heart, pierced Xiao Hei's buttocks, Xiao Hei was frightened and rushed out with Ma Chao........
However, even though the logical analysis was in place and the cause and effect of the whole incident was guessed, Ma Chao looked at Lu Qiling's face of shame and self-blame at this time, especially after seeing her happy application when she saw Lu Bu and others. He shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed in his heart: This time I worked hard, and I should think that I paid Lu Qiling last night's introduction fee.......
