"Really?" Zhang He asked in a low voice.

Zhu Ling narrowed his eyes and nodded and said, "It's really good."

Zhu Ling and Zhang He were both generals under Yuan Shao at first. They both became famous when they attacked Gongsun Zan and became the chief general who commanded tens of thousands of battalions. Later, Zhu Ling took the initiative to surrender to the King of Wei, and Zhang He was forced to surrender after the defeat of the Battle of Guandu.

The two were old friends and had close contacts all day long. Previously, Zhang He was besieged by the Jingzhou navy on Bailizhou and forced to surrender. When he returned to Yecheng, he was idle as the Prime Minister's Office to join the army. Zhu Ling was even more unlucky, and he himself didn't know why, so his troops were taken by Yu Jin under the instructions of the King of Wei. Therefore, the two often gathered together, sighing that there was no place to use force and no good opportunity to serve.

Because of this experience of being demoted together, the two became more and more deeply in love. When they were both enabled by the King of Wei and became the chief general of the central army of the Kingdom of Wei, the two became partners of mutual assistance.

Zhu Ling's headquarters was deprived of all, lacking a reliable army, so Zhang He transferred a hundred old soldiers from Hebei to give him. However, Zhang He was young at the center and was not clear enough about the political trends of the King of Wei and Yecheng. However, Zhu Ling followed the King of Wei for a long time and was quite good at observing the words and expressions, so Zhang He relied more on Zhu Ling's judgment.

But Zhang He really couldn't believe Zhu Ling at this moment.

He couldn't help but leaned over and whispered: "Liangzhou is lost, Guanzhong will be in danger next. How could the King of Wei be in a good mood? Unless he has something..."

Just as he was talking about this, the King of Wei, who was standing high in the first seat of the hall, shouted: "Yun Yi!"

"The last one will be here!"

Zhang He shouted loudly, bowed and went out, performing rituals as if they were polite.

"Ye Yi, you are here just in time, and you are talking in front of you!" Cao Cao, wearing a brocade robe and calmly, pointed to the map of the hall by several entourages: "They have never been to Longshang, what can they do to talk about on paper? Come and see, tell me, is there any danger in Guanzhong?"

Over the years, the King of Wei has a good temper, and there are fewer relatives and important officials of the Xiahou family who dare to advise him, so it is really difficult to deal with the emperor in front of him. This time, Cao's army went south and carried the emperor into the army. He only waited for auspicious days to evolve in the two dynasties. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.

At this time, Cao Cao suddenly asked Zhang He, and Zhang He was sweating in an instant.

How do I know if there is any danger in Guanzhong? Should I answer whether there is any or no? If so, what should I say? If not, what should I say? King Wei specially selected me out, hoping that what should I say?

Several questions turned sharply in his mind, making his mind full of confusion.

He came from the Qingyang Ce cavalry. He was already very hot, and the helmet in his hand was held in his hand again. At this moment, his face turned red and the heat in his head was steaming, like a steamer mounted on the stove.

Fortunately, the ministers were a little nervous at this time, and no one was intent to laugh at him.

The civil servants retreated and left and right. Zhang He strode to the map and looked. On this map, the location markings of the Cao army units in Guanzhong were very clear. Zhang He saw from the left and then from the right.

The King of Wei asked again: "What did Ye Yi see?"

Zhang He had sweat dripped more on his forehead. His eyes swept to the left and right, but he could not get any useful information. Only Sima Yi, the prince's concubine, lowered his head, opened his mouth to Zhang He and said two words silently.

Zhongda, what did you say? I can’t guess?

Zhang He became more and more impatient.

However, the King of Wei and others were in the top leader, so they could only cheer up and said in a deep voice: "Report to the King. I think the arrangement of the general of the Protector is very steady, and Liu Bei's army will not threaten Guanzhong."

"Well... let me tell you in detail."

"As for order!" Zhang He cheered up and said, "Please look at it. From Longshan to Guanzhong, there are only three keys and keys on these three roads have been firmly guarded by our Guanzhong army. Liu Bei's army has 100,000, which cannot be crossed. One is the old Wei River road directly east from Hanyang. This road is deep and dangerous, with Chencang Fortress at all, and the guard is Hao Zhao... I think there is no worries here."

He looked up at Cao Cao, and saw him nodding slightly, and then continued, "When he went north, there were Longguan. There were thousands of mountains and valleys on both sides of Longguan. One was called Lixian County and the other was Luyang. Since the main force of the Protector General had arrived in Lixian County, he had to wait for his work to block the way out of Longguan East. Lixian County and Chencang also support each other, and the iron cavalry can arrive in one day. Therefore, the 30,000 people under the Protector General seemed to be in two places, but in fact, they could mobilize Ruyi and gather enough troops to resist the enemy Liu Bei's army in any place."

"Very good...continue!"

"A little further north, there is another road, which is Zhang Derong, the Wu family, Jingyang line where Master Su Wen is guarding. Here, further north, is Xiaoguan in Gaoping County. Here..."

Zhang He looked at the number of defenders marked on the map, and sweat broke out on his forehead again.

Zhang Ji and Su Ze had too few troops! What's the use of this little man? He quickly looked east of Jingyang, but when he saw that Yan Xing's troops were stationed in Qi County, he felt a little relieved.

Just as he was about to organize his words, he suddenly remembered the silent lip shape that Sima Yi had just made, and suddenly understood what Sima Yi meant. What he said was the word "Ma Chao". The key point was that Ma Chao was dead and everything was different!

Zhang He smiled gratefully at Sima Yi and said loudly: "King of Wei, there is no need to worry about this journey!"

"Just just now, the advisers all felt that the front line of Jingyang was weak, are you so confident?"

"Master, I just heard that Ma Chao is dead. But I don't know if this is true?"

Liu Ye said: "It's true. The Jiang family, Zhao family, Yang family and others in the Hanyang clan joined forces to rebel and raid Ma Chao. Ma Chao died on the spot, and his troops were held in the hands of the deputy general Pang De. Although they were mourning for Ma Chao, they claimed that Ma Chao died of illness. Who could have deceived? At this time, the Qiang and Hu tribes in Lianglong were panicked and did not know where to follow."

Zhang He responded: "Ma Chao is extremely prestigious among the Qiang and Hu, so he can sweep tens of thousands or even more Qiang and Hu knights, traversing across the Shuofang, Lianglong and even the Western Regions for thousands of miles. But since he died, the Qiang and Hu tribes immediately fell apart. No one on the other side of Liu Bei can replace him. Not to mention a year or two, even two or three years, he will not be able to integrate the Hu people easily!"

The ministers nodded one after another, and Zhang He said, "On the contrary, we have Zhang Derong, Su Wenshi and even Yan Yanming, and they are all very powerful towards the Qiang and Hu. When Ma Chao was there, they had no place to focus on them, but when Ma Chao died, they were in Anding County, recruiting the Qiang and Hu forces in Hanyang to the west, and connecting with the Beidi County and even the Shuofang tribes in the east, and their strength will inevitably be greatly enhanced. In this way, although Liu Bei entered Liangzhou, the enemies we faced were weakened. From this point of view, Guanzhong must be safe."

The civil and military officials in the hall discussed in a low voice and made a slight sound.

After a while, Cao Cao laughed a few times: "That's the reason why Zihuan's arrangement in Guanzhong is true. Ye Yi said it very well."

Zhang He was overjoyed and his feet became a little weak for a moment.

"Besides what Jun Yi said, there is another thing."

All the ministers bowed and said, "Please give me advice."

Cao Cao sighed with a tone of pursuit of the past and comforting the world, "Ma Chao is called a border general, but he is actually a cunning captive. This man acts boldly and arrogantly, which is difficult to estimate. If Ma Chao and Liu Bei join forces again, once he comes forward to attract the Shuofang Zahu, then there will be wars everywhere in Bingzhou, Henan Yin and other places. Since he is dead, the pressure on Guanzhong is too great, but Bingzhou and Henan Yin can relax..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly remained silent and was a little dazed.

Everyone didn't know what he had planned, so they all waited with breath, and the hall was silent.

After a while, Cao Cao said, "Zi Yang!"

Liu Ye bowed and said, "Here."

"You send someone to return to Yecheng on my behalf and meet Liang Gong."

The ministers were stunned for a moment before they realized that Ma Chao was a fake Liang Duke, and there was a serious Liang Danny Ma Teng in Yecheng. However, this Liang Duke had been imprisoned in the mansion for several years, like a prisoner.

"Let the messenger represent me to convey the meaning of mourning, and prepare for the funeral of Ma Chao. Also ask Ma Teng, his two children, Ma Tiehe... and..."

Liu Ye said diligently: "Ma Shoucheng has another son, called Ma Xiu."

"Yes, ask Ma Teng, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, which one is useful. Let him send one person to serve in front of the Guanzhong army and give it to Cao Hong to take care of it!"

Liu Ye was convinced and bowed to it.
