"Done?" Ma Chao carried his fine brocade robe and put it aside with some reluctance: since he planned to disguise himself in Xuzhou this time, Ma Chao couldn't wear it too conspicuously.

In particular, he thinks that a man like him is already like a firefly in the dark night and a scarab in the field, so outstanding! Especially the melancholy eyes, messy hair, the handsome Xianglong BMW, and the coiled dragon crouching tiger gun wrapped in several layers of cloth strips, have all betrayed him deeply........

If you put on this iconic splendid robe again, then the private visit of the micro-service may cause countless mature women and young women to be hysterical and resentful on the journey from Chang'an to Xuzhou!

Looking at Ma Chao's reluctant resentful eyes, Tang Xiaomi already felt that the sky was no longer clear, and a few days ago, the unsolved case created by himself and Mu Yuanfeng mobilizing all the first-class masters in the shadows seemed to be just a passing cloud. The love and hatred in his eyes seemed to be covered by a brocade robe: how did he become blind and follow such a master in the first place?

"Lord, you will have to show your identity in Xuzhou sooner or later, this brocade robe, you should hide it and take it away." As a man, Mu Yuanfeng couldn't stand Ma Chao's narcissism, and after saying this, he quickly changed the topic and said: "The matter of Jizhou, the subordinates have already done it according to the instructions of the lord. According to the news from the single, Yuan Shao once again asked Cao Cao for hostages after this incident. ”

"Oh?" Ma Chao happily folded the brocade robe in his hand, put it in the package, and smiled back: "Yuan Shao has made a move so soon?" Isn't he always grinding and chirping, and seeing things late? ”

"Lord, where did you hear the rumor that Yuan Shao was late to see the matter?" Tang Xiaoxiao saw Ma Chao's rippling smile, she couldn't bear it anymore, and opened her mouth angrily, without saying anything about respect and etiquette: Anyway, sometimes, talking to Ma Chao about that is completely to play the piano with a donkey, there is no need at all.

Even, many henchmen who are close to Ma Chao have always had a good grasp of when to be solemn and when to commit a crime.

However, after Tang Xiaomi's words fell, Ma Chao became a little serious. He threw a few more clothes at random, and then left the salute. As soon as Ma Chao left, someone immediately tidied up for Ma Chao - that is to say, Ma Chao sorted out his clothes on a whim, and he had nothing to do.

"If my guess is correct, then the hostage that Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao for this time should not be Cao Cao's family, but His Majesty the Son of Heaven of our Han Dynasty, right?" Ma Chao sat back in the right position, held his chin with his right hand at will, and said thoughtfully.

Ma Chao's saying that 'Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao for hostages' was an interesting thing that happened before Mu Yuanfeng and Tang Xiaomi entered Jizhou. And it was that incident that made Ma Chao see the opportunity to divide Liu Xie, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao.

Lu Cao and the others, since the arrival of locusts and drought, have a headache with tens of thousands of horses opening their mouths to scream at them. Such a situation is not a ghost idea or rhetoric can cope with the past—the army is not far from collapse when the food and grass are about to run out, and this simple common sense hovers in the heads of both men, keeping them awake at night.

However, Lu Bu soon did not worry: as soon as the tiger prison was released, he was Chen Liu. The Ma family's supply of grain and grass to Lu Bu was unimpeded and timely and sufficient. Lu Bu, who had the support of the Ma family, quickly regrouped and accelerated the speed of recovery. Under the fierce soldiers, it is very meaningful.

And this situation, for Cao Cao, is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight: obviously, as soon as the drought and locust plague came, Lu Bu and Cao Cao were no longer comparing military tactics, but pure recovery warfare, just like two boxers who were tired lying on the ground, whoever recovered first could seize the initiative and give the other party a fatal blow.

Watching Lu Bu recover step by step with the support of the Ma family, Cao Cao was worried. It was at this time that Comrade Yuan Shao sent a letter, saying Brother Cao, you can't hold on, it's okay, I'll protect you and send your family to my territory Yecheng! What do you mean? It is to be attached to Cao Cao under his banner. According to the usual practice, I will control your family members as hostages, and I will solve your problems, but you will have to listen to me in the future, otherwise the tragedy of the destruction of the family will be waiting for you.

The strategy of attacking Xuzhou, which was broken and broken, was not feasible and was refuted by Comrade Xun Yu's solemn words. Instead of collapsing due to the exhaustion of food, it is better to attach to Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, who is depressed, may want to leave it at that.

But in this way, Cao Cao's subordinates had another big plan, and Comrade Cheng Yu disagreed. He aimed his eloquence at Cao Cao again, and said, General, you are now intimidated by the difficulties in front of you, but you shouldn't make this kind of decision. Yuan Shao has the heart to annex the world, but the strategy is insufficient, and it is impossible to realize the ideal, how can you be willing to succumb to this kind of person? We now still have three bases in Zhencheng, Fancheng and Dong'e and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, with the general's martial arts strategy, plus Xun Yu and my assistance, we will definitely be able to complete the hegemony by overcoming difficulties, I hope the general will consider it carefully!

At this time, Cao Cao was like a mouse in a bellows, angry at both ends. But a cowman is a cowman, and in such a predicament, Comrade Cao Cao gritted his teeth and endured it. In the end, Comrade Xun Yu had a plan to let Cao Cao send troops to travel around the four directions to plunder the bandits and rats who had risen from the Yellow Turbans.

However, this is only a mouse marrying a daughter-in-law - a small fight, which can only solve the immediate need, but cannot solve the fundamental problem. However, at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly showed kindness, and asked the major merchants in Jizhou to raise 300,000 stone grain and grass and send it to Cao Cao.

Ma Chao, who got the news, was immediately impressed by Yuan Shao. Coupled with the last time Yuan Shao disregarded his previous suspicions and made friends with Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Ma Chao found that he may be 'fierce and timid, and he is indecisive and scheming; Yuan Shao, who did big things and cherished his life, saw small profits and forgot his life', there was a big misunderstanding.

Not to mention anything else at this moment, just saying that Yuan Shao can still send troops and food to fund Cao Cao this time even if he can't ask Cao Cao for hostages is enough to get Ma Chao out of the historical definition of Yuan Shao's incompetence.

Obviously, although Cao Cao has gradually escaped Yuan Shao's control, he has begun to start his own business. But for Yuan Shao, no matter how Cao Cao says, he is also a person who is inclined to himself. Leaving Cao Cao in Yanzhou, he completely blocked Yuan Shu and Lü Bu's troops for Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao could conquer Gongsun Zan and the Black Mountain Army without any worries. Such geographical and external princely advantages are more than losses for Yuan Shao.

From this point of view, Yuan Shao is at least a person with great foresight and decisive decision-making. As for the previous blackmail of Cao Cao's hostages, although it was a bit subordinate, in Ma Chao's opinion, if he was in Yuan Shao's position, he would have done the same - at least, Cao Cao now looks like a jujube tree that is about to die, and it is always appropriate to have jujube and no jujube. played jujube and pit out Cao Cao's family, it was Yuan Shao who blinded Cao Cao and begged for a bargain; If you can't beat the dates, it won't hurt, anyway, Cao Cao is a meat shield, and he can't let Cao Cao hang up at this time.

And it can also be seen from this that the evaluation of Yuan Shao's 'greedy fame and good face' in the history books is also inappropriate: in the face of sufficient interests, Yuan Shao can completely tear his face and reveal his blazing princely ambitions, and he is not afraid of the world saying that he 'robbed while the fire is hot'.

Ma Chao, who came to such an understanding, in addition to being slightly shocked, also had a trace of happiness in his heart: fortunately, he saw through Yuan Shao's true face at this time. Otherwise, when he confronts Yuan Shao in the future, no matter how blind and arrogant he is, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?

As a result, Ma Chao quietly made some changes to his previous plan of discord: in addition to letting the rich and handsome brother be a-stirring stick again, he also asked the shadow to connect Yuan Shao's piece in Jizhou with the big dung tank in Yanzhou, and turn the world upside down together........

Therefore, Li Zihao, who was at home on vacation, received Ma Chao's flying pigeon summons, and Mu Yuanfeng and Tang Xiaomi, after they also mixed into the Zhen family, created the unsolved case of burning the granary.

And now it seems that Yuan Shao, Liu Xie, and Cao Cao, even though they may know that they are in the scheme, but driven by human selfishness, they have to start to take measures to protect themselves. At least, Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao for hostages again, and he was still specifically targeting the 'Great Han Emperor', which was already very revealing.

Liu Xie will never be kidnapped by Yuan Shao as a hostage, and Cao Cao will not be able to give up this trump card in his hand. In this way, the three families will not stop until they toss at least to the point of completely tearing their faces. Knocking lightly on the desk, Ma Chao reasoned about the trend of the three families, and finally his face couldn't help but be happy: "In this way, this time is the best opportunity for me to join Xuzhou and Liu Bei!" ”
