As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao took Zhang Xiu, Wang Shuang, and Qian Hu and turned around and galloped away.
"Your Majesty, if we leave like this, don't we arrest Cao Cao?" Qian Hu asked hurriedly.
"I have changed my mind. Instead of attacking the weak, it is better to overthrow the strong. Once I kill Gao Fei who dominates Hebei, then the entire Hebei will become my territory. Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and Hebei will be connected together.
If we go south to fight for supremacy, who in the world would dare to resist?" Ma Chao said.
Zhang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao, and Gao Fei must not let go, but if we can defeat the enemy without fighting, then that is the best strategy."
"Oh, what suggestions do you have?" Ma Chao asked after hearing this.
"The king can temporarily agree to Cao Cao's proposal, pretend to join forces with Cao Cao, but secretly tell Gao Fei this information. Then Gao Fei and Cao Cao will definitely break out into a war, and the king can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. As the saying goes, two tigers are fighting each other.
, there must be an injury. No matter who wins or loses, the king will finally come to clean up the mess, and he will definitely be able to defeat both of them in one fell swoop." Zhang Xiu suggested.
"Okay! This is a good plan. If it really succeeds, I will promote your current general!"
Zhang Xiu said happily: "Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"I'll leave this matter to you. You can go to the Yan Army camp yourself."
"promise!"
Ma Chao left here, and Cao Cao also returned to the military camp with his personal entourage. He was riding on the horse, with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Horse, horse, after all, you are still too young.
"
After hearing this, Cao Ren laughed and said: "It can only be said that the king is too smart. In my opinion, Ma Chao will definitely agree to the king's proposal tomorrow and join forces with the king to deal with Gao Fei. By then, the Yan Kingdom will be in danger!"
"Zixiao, what you said is wrong, Ma Chao should be dead!" Cao Cao said with a sly look in his eyes.
After hearing this, Cao Ren asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, I am getting more and more confused. We and Ma Chao are joining forces to deal with Gao Fei. The one who is in danger should be Gao Fei. Why does Your Majesty say that Ma Chao is in danger? Does Your Majesty mean that Ma Chao is in danger?"
Can’t your subordinates defeat the Yan army?”
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "The Art of War says, 'What is true is what is false, and what is false is true.' As long as you know how to use this false reality, you can defeat the enemy without fighting. Do you really think that I will join forces with Ma Chao?"
Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, and Dian Wei looked at each other in confusion after hearing this.
Cao Cao looked around at the four people behind him, and after seeing their expressions, he smiled and said: "If I were really so easy to be seen through, then I wouldn't be Cao Cao. I, Cao Cao, am unique in the world.
If someone can replace me, the world will be played by me with applause..."
Suddenly, Cao Cao's face changed, his whole face became gloomy, his voice became stern, and he shouted in a low voice: "Zixiao, you quickly send someone to ask Xiahou Dun to lead the troops to increase the number of troops in Guandu, our army is here
Fight to the death with the enemy."
Cao Ren asked a little confused: "The enemy the king refers to is..."
"Everyone outside the Wei Kingdom is our enemy of the Great Wei." Cao Cao said resolutely.
Cao Ren seemed to understand something and said: "I understand. I will send someone to inform General Xiahou to increase the number of troops at Guandu."
"Well, you can go back, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu is also going back, and Dian Wei is coming with me to the Yan army camp." Cao Cao reined in his horse and stopped by the roadside.
"Going to the Yan army camp?" Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, and Dian Wei all asked in surprise.
"Don't ask so many questions. Let's separate here. Gao Fei and I have been apart for a long time, and we should meet him today. I'm afraid I'll never see him again." Cao Cao frowned and said slowly.
Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu did not dare to disobey Cao Cao. After being separated from Cao Cao and Dian Wei, they quickly left and returned to the place where the Wei army was stationed. Cao Cao took Dian Wei and headed towards the place where the Yan army was stationed.

……………………
In the Yan Army camp, Gao Fei had just returned from inspecting the camp. Since landing in Juan County, he had ordered the army to advance forty miles every day, making camp step by step, approaching Guandu step by step. The five camps always remained consistent.
The front and back echoed each other, assuming a defensive posture.
As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the evening shines on the earth, and the horizon in the distance is also covered with a layer of red clouds, as if it is dyed red with blood.
Gao Fei was wearing light clothes and stood in front of the big tent. He looked up at the bloody clouds and saw the floating clouds in the sky drifting away and the clouds rolling and relaxing. He said slowly: "There is something strange in the sky. The red clouds are red today."
Covering the sky, the sky is as red as blood. Maybe in the near future, an unprecedented melee will break out..."
"Hahaha! I didn't expect His Highness Prince Yan to actually observe the celestial phenomena. I really admire him." At this time, a very familiar figure appeared next to Gao Fei and said with a smile.
"Doctor Zhang?" Gao Fei turned around and saw Zhang Zhongjing standing next to him. He couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked hurriedly, "You...how did you get here?"
"Your Highness is really good at joking. Of course I came here. Could it be that he flew from the sky?" Zhang Zhongjing said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang has come all the way, and I'm sorry to hear you come so far. Please sit inside!" Gao Fei strongly invited.
"No, I was just passing by here. Fortunately, I met General Gan from the former army by chance. Then I knew that His Highness was here, so I came here specifically to see His Highness to express my regards."
"Now I am no longer King Yan..."
"In my mind, King Yan is King Yan, nothing else." Zhang Zhongjing said stubbornly.
"Thank you so much for the compliment, the miracle doctor. By the way, the miracle doctor Zhang just said that he was passing by here. I wonder where the miracle doctor is going?"
"Of course I'm going to the Kingdom of Yan. Tensions are already rising near Guandu. Although I say I'm meeting the Emperor, I actually want to snatch the Emperor away and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. The Central Plains has become a target of public criticism. If I stay here, I will only be implicated.
.I heard that Yan State is relatively stable and lacks famous doctors. Some diseases cannot be cured at all, so I want to go to Yan State to save lives and heal the wounded."
"Very good, now that Divine Doctor Zhang has made a decision, I fully support it. I will send someone to send Divine Doctor Zhang across the river, and then..."
"No need, I'm used to being alone. If I leave today, I don't need anyone to see me off. I'll take things as they come, and I'll be fine wherever I go."
Gao Fei and Zhang Zhongjing exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and then Zhang Zhongjing was about to leave. Gao Fei invited Zhang Zhongjing to stay in every possible way, but Zhang Zhongjing refused and finally left the Yan Army camp.
The appearance of Zhang Zhongjing was just a very small episode.
After Gao Fei watched Zhang Zhongjing leave, he was about to walk into the military camp when he saw Gan Ning coming over with a general of the Qin Army.
The general of the Qin army was none other than Zhang Xiu. After receiving Ma Chao's order, he originally planned to send someone to see Gao Fei, but then he hesitated. He wanted to see the famous Gao Fei with his own eyes.
Before Gan Ning and Gao Fei could react, Zhang Xiu took the lead and bowed to Gao Fei: "The last general is Zhang Xiu, the Hengye general under King Qin's command, who has met the Marquis of Yan."
"Zhang Xiu?" When Gao Fei heard the name, he looked at Zhang Xiu carefully and saw that Zhang Xiu was about thirty years old. He had a strong physique and looked very strong, especially those hot pairs.
Her eyes are unforgettable at first sight.
Zhang Xiu looked at Gao Fei's eyes as he looked at him, and felt quite strange, but he was also a well-informed person, and he was already very familiar with this kind of gaze, as if he was looking at rare animals.
After Gao Fei looked at Zhang Xiu, he immediately regained his composure, waved his hand towards Gan Ning, and said, "You have nothing to do, you can leave."
Gan Ning nodded, turned and left.
"Go into the tent and talk." Gao Fei turned around and walked straight into the tent.
Zhang Xiu followed Gao Fei into the tent. After the guests of honor and guests were seated, he cupped his hands towards Gao Fei and said, "Marquis Yan, I was specially sent by His Highness King Qin to inform Marquis Yan..."
"Tell the news? What kind of news?"
"Cao Cao, King of Wei, took the initiative to show his kindness to my king today and said that he would join forces with my king to deal with the Marquis of Yan. My king is a loyal man and likes to help others the most. Therefore, my king sent me to tell the news to Yan.
Marquis, so that Marquis Yan can be mentally prepared, and convey to Marquis Yan that our Qin army will never be involved in this matter."
"Oh? Then don't I have to thank you, King Qin?"
"That's not necessary. Marquis Yan was born in Longxi, and he is also from Liangzhou. Our King of Qin is also from Liangzhou. Speaking of which, we are all one family. If this family does not speak the same language, how can King Qin bear to see others bully him?
Where is Marquis Yan?" Zhang Xiu said.
"Haha, this is very reasonable. So, what does King Qin want from me? What should be the price for tipping me off?"
Zhang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't misunderstand me, Marquis Yan. We, the King of Qin, have absolutely no such intention. We just want Cao Cao's evil intentions to be followed by Marquis Yan. Now that the information has been delivered, it's time for me to go back and say goodbye."
"The general has come a long way, and now it's getting late. Why don't you rest here for a night before leaving, so that I can show my respect to the general!"
"No need, Zhang still has orders, so I won't bother you any more."
Gao Fei didn't force Zhang Xiu to stay. Gao Fei didn't seem to like Zhang Xiu very much. After all, Zhang Xiu was not very famous in history. The most outstanding thing was that he and his general Hu Che'er killed Dian together.
Wei. Therefore, he doesn't like Zhang Xiu very much, and he has many powerful generals, so there is no need to force someone to keep someone who has no interest in him.
So Gao Fei sent Zhang Xiu away.
"If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing." Gao Fei said slowly after watching Zhang Xiu leave.
After entering the big tent, Gao Fei called Xun You and explained to Xun You what Zhang Xiu had reported.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Ma Chao is showing favor to your Majesty and wants to take this opportunity to stir up trouble between our army and the Wei army, and then the Qin army will reap the benefits."
"Does the military advisor have any other ways to make Ma Chao and Cao Cao fight..."
"Report——" The soldier interrupted Gao Fei's unfinished words.
When Gao Fei saw his soldiers in a hurry, he asked, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao wants to see you!"
"Cao Cao? He will come to my place?" Gao Fei was surprised with a hint of surprise, "Where is he now?"
