When Zhao's army marched to the west, Cao Cao and Liu Bei and others were naturally very concerned.

"Zhao Hui is so careless?"

How many soldiers and horses are in Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun’s hands have been discovered by Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Even if there are some errors, it is only floating up to 20,000 yuan.

Moreover, Zhao Hui did not go to the battle in person.

Whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they did not think that just sending Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci could eliminate Ma Teng and Han Sui.

It is undeniable that Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun are both good generals of the times, and they are among the best in both literature and military affairs.

But Ma Teng and Han Sui are not vegetarians either.

They were able to gather hundreds of thousands of people in Xiliang, which was a powerful force.

If it were really easy to deal with, Cao Cao would have set his sights on them.

The Xiliang Army has always been known for its bravery. Although it is now corrupt, there are still many warriors from the Qiang tribe.

In addition, they have many cavalry and are very mobile.

Siege is not good, but field battles are the most in line for them.

Everything was as Cao Cao thought. The Xiliang army was really panicked when he heard that the Zhao army came to conquer them.

But soon, under the leadership of Ma Teng and Han Sui, morale was stabilized.

In Cao Cao's opinion, 100,000 people are too few.

As long as the Xiliang Army sent cavalry to harass him a few times, the number of 100,000 troops would drop sharply.

A few hundred people will be lost today and thousands will be lost tomorrow. A hundred thousand troops will not be enough to consume.

At that time, Taishi Ci could use 50,000 people to block Ma Teng and Han Sui, because Ma Teng and Han Sui did not want to attack with all their strength at that time.

Moreover, Taishici at that time had a city wall to rely on.

Now that we are expeditioning to the West, the position has been changed.

The Xiliang cavalry was elusive and could have cut off the Zhao army's food and grass at any time.

However, out of importance to Zhao Hui, Cao Cao did not think that Zhao Hui would be so careless.

If this is true, then it would be really unfair to lose to Zhao Hui.

As long as he was given time, Cao Cao would have the confidence to be able to wipe out Ma Teng and Han Sui, but he really didn't dare to be as careless as Zhao Hui.

Cao Cao is powerless now, even though he knows that this is an opportunity to counterattack Yanzhou.

But now there are only a few thousand people in his hands.

Even if he knew, he could only look at Xu Du from a distance.

Now, Cao Cao is always focusing on military affairs. As for Xinye's government affairs, he has basically let go of Cao Pi.

If Cao Pi doesn't understand anything, he will ask Xun Yu, Xun You and others for advice.

Under Cao Pi's governance, Xinye did become more prosperous than before.

But it is just a county town, and Cao Pi does a lot of things without much resistance.

No one will delay, and many things will continue as Cao Pi expected, and there will be no so many accidents.

During spring plowing, all the fields around Xinye were made of new fertilizer.

After the spring plowing ended, Cao Pi also opened a college in Xinye, asking the people of Xinye to send their children to the college for classes.

As for the teachers in the college, Cao Pi directly let Xun You and Cheng Yu and others serve as part-time.

Now in Xinye, a small place, Xun You and others don’t have so much to be busy with. They spend one or two hours a day to attend classes at the college, so there is no problem.

It’s also free. Now that you can’t make money by running these colleges, you just can’t make money, and it’s difficult to balance income and expenditure.

As long as you say that you need teaching fees to go to school, you can immediately block countless children.

The people in Xinye now have no spare money in their hands, and even the food in their homes is difficult to survive until the autumn harvest.

After the spring plowing ends, they are not relaxed and still have to go out early in the morning every day.

Some go to the fields to take care of the seedlings, and some go up the mountain to chop wood.

In short, they have to constantly fill in their family’s income to prevent their family from going hungry.

That is, the spring plowing is over, otherwise even if Cao Pi’s college is free, many children will have to help their families work in the fields because of their need to help them work. Even if it is free, they will not be able to come.

When Zhao Hui was in Youzhou, he first started his college, but he even booked three meals a day.

This made some people send their children to the college.

Cao Pi is very motivated now. Although Xinye is a little smaller, he just happened to ask him to try it out. Even if something goes wrong, Cao Cao and Xun You and others can help Cao Pi correct it quickly.

Liu Bei was in Xiangyang, and he now had a Jingzhou governor Liu Qi and an emperor Liu Yin.

Originally, when Cao Cao did not send Liu Yin to Xiangyang, Liu Bei wanted to report everything about Liu Qi.

But after Liu Yin arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Bei bypassed Liu Qi.

Of course, he did not completely abandon Liu Qi.

However, his uncle, originally considered Liu Qi's subordinate, is now at the same level as Liu Qi.

Liu Bei's Xinye Prefect was now replaced by Cao Cao, and he himself became the Grand Tutor.

After all, Liu Yin is only six years old now, so in Xiangyang City, all matters of all sizes and big things are basically decided by Liu Bei.

Even if Liu Bei discussed with Liu Qi, Liu Qi didn't have much opinion. He kept silent. Either his uncle was right or he was obedient to everything.

Now in Xiangyang City, the only one who can compete with Liu Bei for a little bit is Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.

But the two of them were also at a disadvantage and needed to rely on Cao Cao.

There is also an independent Zhang Yun, who is now under his control.

However, after the death of Cai Mao and Cai Zhong brothers, Zhang Yun took over half of Cai Mao's military prefecture. He has been in the military camp for now, and he will never step out of the military camp, and he will not care about what Liu Bei did in Xiangyang.

Although Liu Bei wanted to win over Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun never nodded.

He wanted to kill Zhang Yun, but he had no chance for the time being.

Perhaps Zhang Fei could be allowed to assassinate Zhang Yun secretly, but in this way, Liu Bei might not be able to control the army in Zhang Yun's hands.

He was afraid that once Zhang Yun died, the 150,000 army in Zhang Yun's hands would become Cao Cao's wedding dress in the end.

But Liu Bei was not in a hurry.

He was originally worried that after the spring plowing ended, Zhao Hui would launch a war against Jingzhou.

But now the news is that Zhao Hui sent an army to fight the west.

He didn't believe that Zhao Hui would fight on both sides at the same time.

When the Zhao army fought westward, this battle would take at least one year. If Zhao Hui wanted to attack Jingzhou, Liu Bei would probably wait until next year.

He has been slowly penetrated by Zhang Yun's army for a year now.

He is very good at this.

However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei didn't know that Zhao Yun was carrying a killing weapon in his hand.

It will be a nightmare in Ma Tenghan Sui's heart.

It takes one year for Ma Tenghan Sui to fight the West?

No.

In Zhao Hui's mind, this battle should end before the autumn harvest.

The time spent mainly on the march.

From Jizhou to Bingzhou, and then to Chang'an.

It took Zhao Jun two months to spend the thousands of miles of road.

Although Zhao Hui confirmed that this battle would not take too long, the army's food and grass should be ensured to be in place.
