"Lord, Yuan Shao is fighting outside again!" The ugly brother Huang Yuan reported angrily, and couldn't help but say more: "We are not less than them, and the generals are a hundred times better than them, why doesn't the lord fight with Yuan Shao?!" ”

"No, it's just because there is no technical content, I don't want to fight." Ma Chao replied to the ugly brother very reasonably, but then saw the ugly brother's angry appearance, he still explained: "Yuan Shao is now less than 500,000 troops, and our army also has more than 370,000 troops. ”

"But we can't just hold it back, can we?" The ugly brother was not convinced, and spoke again.

But at this time, Ma Chao was no longer willing to talk more. Sima Yi on the side, after having a little affection for the ugly brother, said: "What's wrong with holding back?" Wouldn't it be better to wait for the morale to hold back and go down in a fight?! ”

"I'm afraid of holding back my ......." The ugly brother really didn't know how to reason with these two people, although he knew that reasoning with these two people would make him angry, but this time he really couldn't help but stiffen his mouth and said: "What if the anger passes, then what should I do?" ”

"Cold salad," Sima Yi spread his hands, not caring at all: "You really don't understand or fake don't understand, I really don't understand why Yuan Shao keeps looking for us to fight?" ”

"I don't know."

"Because he can't afford to fight on his turf!"

"But Bingzhou is not in our pocket, why is Yuan Shao in a hurry?"

"He was wrong because he thought it was his. So he will be in a hurry, and if he is in a hurry, he will be prone to chaos, and if he is chaotic, we will have too many opportunities. ”

"I still don't understand."

"It's right if you don't understand, you understand, aren't we strategists blind when we discuss a strategy of avoiding without fighting for a day?"

"Me! .......You! ……..” The ugly brother clenched his fists, he couldn't imagine that the final result was really to make himself angry.

But Sima Yi was now standing behind Ma Chao, and he didn't dare to be angry, so he pulled his eyelid with his right hand, provocatively stimulating the ugly brother. As soon as Ma Chao turned around, Sima Yi immediately looked solemn and respectful, as innocent as he wanted.

It's a pity that this trick is too pediatric for Ma Chao: "Sima Yi, don't be angry with ugly brother." As a general, if you don't have this temperament, the Ma family will be completely finished. Then, Ma Chao turned his head and said to Brother Ugly: "Brother Ugly, we don't fight because Yuan Shao wants to fight ....... forget it, I won't tell you these imaginary things, let me tell you, if you fight for 400,000 yuan, the entire Ma family will be dragged down, and after more than a year of recovery, I can't stand it like this to fight Zhang Lu and Yuan Shao, the Ma family really can't afford to toss!" ”

"I don't want to confront each other for so long, but the two armies are behemoths, Yuan Shao has not made any serious mistakes in the past half a month....... the whole war has begun, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, if you can't grasp the situation in time, it will be like climbing a mountain, and the danger is great. We must endure what ordinary people can't bear and wait for the opportunity! ”

After that, Ma Chao plunged into the copywriting again, his face seemed calm, but the ugly brother who was familiar with Ma Chao had already seen the sorrow under that calm face.

"Lord, Cao Cao has already broken through Xiapi, captured Liu Bei's family alive, and forced Guan Yu to surrender. Zhang Fei is also like a lost dog, nowhere to be found. In such a situation, I'm afraid that Xuzhou will have to be surnamed Cao! This matter has been held back in the ugly brother's heart for a long time, and he can't figure out why a few days ago, when Ma Chao received such a battle report, he turned out to be like this.

"Well, at this point, I really want to see how Cao Cao resisted Yuan Shu's anger." Ma Chao frowned slightly, his eyes immediately fell on the Jiangdong region on the map, and said, "Could it be him?" …….”

"There is no one else except him, the six counties of Jiangdong have been leveled, in addition to going north to Yangzhou, will Sun Ce be trapped in Jiangdong?" Sima Yi pursed his lips and replied.

Speaking of this, Ma Chao's eyes rolled again, and after sweeping to the boundary of Jingzhou this time, he said again: "Then what is Liu Biao's idea?" ”

"Bian Zhuang Thorn Tiger, apart from this, what other bad intentions can he have?" Sima Yi said again, looking a little disdainful.

Ma Chao smiled, now it seems that Ma, Yuan, Cao, and Liu are making the most noise, but the one who really has the strength to reverse the whole situation in one fell swoop is really Liu Jingsheng, who is dominating one side in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao is an extremely special person. He sat on hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and Jingzhou's anointed land, but he was unusually quiet. After Yuan and Cao started the war before, Liu Biao's attitude has been ambiguous. He promised Yuan Shao to cooperate, but he did not move; Jingzhou engaged in Kuai Yue to persuade Liu Biao to join Cao Cao, but he was almost killed—in short, no one could figure out Liu Biao's thoughts. It has always been rumored in the world that Liu Biao fought Bian Zhuangzi's idea, and planned to wait for the two tigers to be killed and injured, and then make a profit.

However, Ma Chao, who had dealt with Liu Biao several times, knew that Liu Biao was told by the world that he was waiting. However, he will not wait until the tiger is dead and wounded, as the world expects, he will not do it until he is sure that both tigers are dead, he will come out to clean up the mess and pick up the abundant spoils of war - this is not cautious and cowardly, but Liu Biao has been immersed in his own dream of the great Confucian of the world, good face and good thinking.

Now it is the Ma family that is fighting against Yuan Shao, the Ma family has the advantage, and Liu Biao may not move; If the Ma family is defeated, he will never miss the opportunity. The road from Jingzhou to Guanzhong is not far, and Jingzhou soldiers can easily advance to Chang'an. At least, recovering Nanyang County is what he has always dreamed of. But there must be a premise here, that is, Yuan Shao wants to completely cripple and destroy Ma Chao's 400,000 army, and after the Ma family has no power to enter the map, Liu Biao will take the opportunity to make a move.

Therefore, in order to eliminate Liu Biao's thoughts, the Ma family will not easily fight with Yuan Shao. Even, some time ago, Ma Chao asked Meng Da to send a letter to the old fox, asking if there was any need to fight this battle again.

Just right, mention Jia Xu, Jia Xu will arrive. At this time, the tent door was opened again, and Yang Fu took a letter and said, "Lord, the teacher replied." ”

Ma Chao hurriedly stood up and tore open the vermilion lacquer seal, only to see a few strokes written on it: If Cao Cao fights, the Ma family will not fight; If Cao Cao didn't want to fight, the Ma family would go to war.......

Ma Chao looked at it and slapped his thigh suddenly: "The old fox is the old fox, hit the nail on the head!" On the side, Yang Fu heard Ma Chao say Jia Xu like this, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and his face was embarrassed: "Lord, the teacher also said that the battlefield is changeable, and you can't blindly stick to it and expose your intentions." There is a law to show no war with war, and no war to show war, please control it yourself. ”

"Yes, that's it." After Jia Xu explained his doubts, Ma Chao suddenly looked overflowing, and after glancing at the ugly brother, he suddenly asked, "I said, has the famous general in Runan updated his genealogy?" ”

"Updated ......."

"How many good generals are in the top 20 under our army?"

"I don't know, Wen Yuan, Gongming, Ling Ming, Zilong, Ziyi ......." The ugly brother wrenched his fingers, counted several names in a row, and finally said: "By the way, I am also on the list, but the ranking is a little low." ”

"Well, that's good. Yuan Shao, how many of them are in the top 20? ”

"There are only two, Yan Liang and Zhang He."

"That's how it should be." After hearing this, Ma Chao suddenly smiled, patted the ugly brother on the shoulder and said, "You hold your breath, I'm also depressed, why don't you go to Yuan Shao Sports tomorrow." By the way, reduce Yuan Shao's morale again, so that he can't distinguish between east and west, north and south, and even Qingzhou is about to be lost, and he is still shouting at us here! ”

"What do you mean?" The ugly brother suddenly couldn't understand Ma Chao: for a while, he was a famous general, and for a while, he was from Qingzhou, and at this time, he said that he was going to find Yuan Shao...... This time, the ugly brother really doesn't understand: it's not that he has a low IQ, it's that Ma Chao's thinking jumps really fast!

"You really don't know?" Ma Chao shook his head, looked at the ugly brother and said: "Smart people are not good at this, and being stupid is also misunderstood as pretending to be stupid......."

When Sima Yi heard this, he grinned, and seemed to feel the same way. And after that, Ma Chao's face was very different: Yuan Shao, tomorrow, I want you to understand what a slap in the face is!
