Summary of the previous chapter: Cao Cao presided over the construction of the Bronze Bird Tower, but Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty stopped it and ordered Ma Xiaoquan to persuade Cao Cao. Ma Xiaoquan had no such intention and did not care...
It has been several months since Yuan last had a voice conversation with Ma Xiaoquan. In the past few months, Ma Xiaoquan also called Yuan, but unfortunately, Yuan ignored Ma Xiaoquan at all.
"Damn it, what have you been doing these days?"
Yuan Chuanyin said: "What are you doing? Of course you are repairing your body."
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips: "What kind of body do you have? It's all just an illusion."
Yuan was unhappy: "Why, I can't have a body. I don't know who looked at me with eyes wide open when I came out..."
When his words were exposed, Ma Xiaoquan blushed and changed the subject and responded: "Okay, okay, I won't talk to you about that anymore. By the way, Yuan, what do you think about me and Cao Cao going to attack Xiliang?"
"It's possible, but you have to follow history!"
"That's necessary. I know the laws of historical origin!"
"Well, then go ahead. By the way, Ma Xiaoquan, how many ability capsules do you still have on hand now?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and responded: "There are quite a few more, uh, but I haven't eaten any of them."
"Well, don't eat it yet. You'll bite off more than you can chew... By the way, how are you doing with your control of the Lan Ming Holy Fire?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed in his heart: "Forget it, it's too difficult to control this Lan Ming Holy Fire. I think I'm only at the second level now."
"oh"
Ma Xiaoquan saw that the source no longer sent messages to him, so he didn't say much.
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan proposed to Hua Yuexin the idea of going shopping.
At this time, Hua Yuexin was pregnant again, and she knew that her husband was someone who couldn't stay at home, so she asked, "Ms. sir, can you take Zheng'er with you?"
"What are you doing with Zheng'er?"
Hua Yue thought: "Zheng'er admires you very much!"
"Zheng'er is still young, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
Hua Yuexin shook her head: "It's okay, men must be cultivated from an early age, otherwise they won't look like a qualified man in the future."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed when he heard this: "Hoho? Madam, why did you suddenly become so enlightened?"
Hua Yuexin said angrily: "Can't I be enlightened about the appearance of death?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and hugged Hua Yuexin into his arms...
...
In the spring and February of AD 211, the 16th year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao appointed his second son Cao Pi as the General of the Five Gentlemen. In mid-February, Shang Zhao and others from Taiyuan occupied Daling City and rebelled. Cao Cao appointed Xia Houyuan to act as General of the Western Expedition to lead Xu.
Huang and others led the army to attack the north and invited Ma Xiaoquan to go with them.
Ma Xiaoquan thought that the dinner had not yet come, so he politely refused Cao Cao. Ma Xiaoquan waited until Ma Chao and Han Sui rebelled in March, and Shang Zhao was not able to do it.
...
As expected, Xia Houyuan was so powerful that he marched more than 20 villages, surrounded and captured Daling City, killed Shang Zhao and others and quelled the rebellion. At this time, Sili Colonel Zhong Yao suggested that Cao Cao marched into Guan in the name of attacking Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
West. However, after analyzing the situation in Kansai, Kansai Tongwei Qi and Prime Minister Cangcao Gaorou, who were ministers at the time, raised objections. They believed that the princes and generals in Kansai were just a bunch of rabble, and as long as they were given
With a little sweetness, they should stay safe.
Zhong Yao's words just spoke to Cao Cao's heart. Although Kansai belongs to Cao Cao in name, the Kansai army is actually very powerful and will always be a thorn in Cao Cao's side. If the power of Kansai is not flattened, Cao Cao will not be able to sleep at night.
After thinking about it, Cao Cao decided to visit Ma Xiaoquan in the Ma Family Courtyard to hear what Master Shangxian meant...
"Oh...so you want to take a walk according to Zhong Yao's wishes?"
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Wei Ji and Gao Rou suggested that I should not attack and adopt a gentle policy..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Let me ask you what you mean?"
Cao Cao said: "Of course I will take this opportunity to eradicate the Kansai forces."
"That's alright, just do whatever comes to mind!"
Cao Cao was slightly startled, laughed loudly, patted his forehead and said, "As long as you discuss any matter with Master Xian, you will immediately become enlightened! Haha..."
...
In March, Cao Cao ordered Zhong Yao and Xia Houyuan to join forces and march westward.
Xia Houyuan's army moved, and the Guanxi Army became suspicious. Ma Chao joined forces with Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Candidate, Cheng Yin, Ma Wan, Zhang Heng and others to rebel, and persuaded Han Sui to join the army. Han Sui considered
A few days later, I agreed.
As soon as the rebels were identified, Han Sui was immediately elected as the Governor-General by the rebels. After all, from Dong Zhuo to Cao Cao, Han Sui's power had never collapsed, and it was getting bigger and bigger. He was elected as the Governor of Chengdu, which was expected by everyone.
...
Yecheng, in the Ma family compound.
Cao Cao visited Ma Xiaoquan again. This time, Cao Cao's purpose was very clear. He was going to fight in person, so he invited Ma Xiaoquan to go with him.
Looking at Cao Cao who was talking incessantly in front of him, Ma Xiaoquan interrupted and asked: "Han Sui and Ma Chao's rebel army is already quite large. Xiao Cao, if you want to conquer it yourself, what are the plans for the rear?"
Cao Cao said: "I ordered Pi'er to stay in Yecheng, and Cheng Yu and others will assist him. As for myself, huh..."
"Then when do you plan to send troops?"
Cao Cao replied: "August!"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "Time waits for no one, I think it will be better in July!"
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "Well, then July!"
...
In early July, Cao Cao prepared his army and sent out troops as Ma Xiaoquan said.
Before leaving Yecheng, Ma Xiaoquan took his third son, Ma Zheng, with him.
Looking at the retreating figures of her husband and son, Hua Yuexin shed tears involuntarily.
"Sister madam..."
Hua Yuexin gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, turned around and gave the sisters a smile: "It's okay, let's go in, um, um, everyone's belly is big."
In August, Cao Cao's army came to Tongguan and camped across Tongguan with the Xiliang allied forces. No one could cross the Leichi.
Late at night, Cao Cao summoned his men to discuss war strategies. Xu Huang stepped forward and said: "My lord, why don't we use our main force to contain the rebels and draw their attention to the south of Tongguan, and then I will lead a group of troops to sneak across to the north.
Pubanjin place name, detour from Hexi and Weibei to Weinan, and attack them from behind..."
Xu Huang's plan suited Cao Cao's thoughts, and Cao Cao immediately agreed.
"Wait a minute!" Ma Xiaoquan said as Cao Cao was about to deploy, "I'm going too!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately gave the armor he had carefully prepared to Ma Xiaoquan.
After taking the armor from Cao Cao, Ma Xiaoquan was a little helpless. He was immortal and wearing this thing was simply a burden. However, Ma Xiaoquan still smiled and accepted Cao Cao's kindness.
"Dad, I want to go too!" When his son Ma Zhengyi heard that his father and Xu Huang were going to sneak attack behind enemy lines, he also became excited and clenched his little fists tightly, looking like he must go.
Ma Zheng was just ten years old and looked a little small. Xu Huang was worried that it would be dangerous to bring such a child, so he persuaded Lord Shangxian to leave the child in the main camp under the protection of the lord Cao Cao.
But Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and refused: "What are you afraid of? As long as I'm here, he can't die. Even if he dies, it will be the fate of this bastard!"
Xu Huang and his lord Cao Cao looked at each other and then looked at Xiao Ma Zheng, only to find that the child's eyes were shining with no trace of fear. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the tiger father has no dog son.
Late at night, Xu Huang led four thousand elite soldiers to Pubanjin.
...
Kansai Rebels, inside the main camp.
Han Sui, Ma Chao and others were discussing the next strategy. Looking at the terrain map, Ma Chao said: "We'd better set up camp at Pubanjin to prepare for Cao Cao's westward crossing. Cao Cao's troops are deceitful and he must have the intention of a sneak attack...
.With such precautions, Cao's army will definitely be out of food and fodder within twenty days..."
After hearing this, Han Sui thought for a while and said: "There are so many of us, and we are still afraid that they will come to sneak attack. Instead of just sitting back and waiting, wouldn't it be better to wait for them to come and intercept them halfway?"
Ma Chao thought about it and thought it made sense, so he didn't insist anymore.
...
Xu Huang led his men and horses to the west bank of the Yellow River and set up camp at night to rest.
The rebel Liang Xing received the military report and immediately led 5,000 troops to stop the attack. However, with a general like Liang Xing, it was impossible for him to be Xu Huang's opponent. Moreover, Ma Xiaoquan, the master of Shangxian, was also in Xu Huang's army. Although he
I don't know how to take action, but having Master Shangxian here is the best spiritual encouragement.
Cao's soldiers were all extremely brave, killing Liang Xing's army and retreating steadily.
By the time the sky turned white, Liang Xingjun had already run away to death and was in disarray.
When reorganizing the army, Xu Huang asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Shangxian, why don't you stay in the main camp with the lord?"
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and said: Nonsense, Cao Cao will be chased and beaten by Ma Chao next, and only fools will stay.
Although Ma Xiaoquan thought so in his heart, what he said in his mouth was: "Hey, my son must be a pioneer. No, as a father, I have to train my son."
Xu Huang nodded, admired Ma Xiaoquan for a few words, and then said: "Master Shangxian, I always have an ominous premonition."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
Xu Huang said: "I don't think Ma Chao and Han Sui are that simple. I'm worried that the princess's army will be in danger!"
Ma Xiaoquan secretly admired Xu Huang and advised him: "Don't worry, Gongming, your lord-in-law will be fine."
Xu Huang said "oh" and said no more.
...
Time passed very quickly, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Cao Cao finally ordered the entire army to cross the river.
The former army crossed the river safely, but Cao Cao began to become proud.
Ma Chao was waiting for this opportunity and took the opportunity to pursue him with 10,000 troops.
