Chapter 1152 : Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Four: Lu Su Under the Sword? (Part 1)
After all, there are only a few people in the world who can predict Cao Cao's victory, such as wise men such as Xun Yu and Xun You, or the only foresighted person like Liu Feng./⊙﹏⊙bwww
Everyone else believed that Yuan Shao would win. After all, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family had a great reputation, and they also owned the rich land of Hebei, and had plenty of soldiers and food.
On the other hand, although Cao Cao controlled the Central Plains, the Central Plains was broken after all.
Yuan Shao's chances of winning were much better than Cao Cao's. But what about now? The Battle of Guandu ended in Yuan Shao's disastrous defeat, and hundreds of thousands of his troops were wiped out.[
How can this not make those who are optimistic about Yuan Shao stunned?
On the other hand, even though some people had a premonition that Cao Cao would win, some people were shocked by such a heartwarming victory.
Therefore, when the Battle of Guandu came to an end and Cao Cao won a great victory, the whole world was in an uproar.
Moreover, Cao Cao was victorious and Yuan Shao was defeated.
Although Cao Cao's power may not be stronger than that of Yuan Shao, after all, Yuan Shao still controls the land of Hebei. The so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If Yuan Shao was quickly destroyed by Cao Cao, the people of the world would not believe it.
But one thing is for sure.
With Cao Cao's victory, the morale of Cao Cao's army will definitely rise sharply. The people's will. On the contrary, the morale of Yuan Jun's army will definitely plummet. Whether they can hold on to Hebei has become a huge problem.
If this goes hand in hand, Cao Cao will succeed Yuan Shao and become the overlord of the world.
This is not a good thing for the princes of the world.
There are many people who are frightened.
Yongzhou, Huaili.
There are more than ten princes in the northwest, which can be said to be as numerous as dogs. But the most powerful ones belong to Ma Teng who is in charge of Yongzhou, and Han Sui who is in charge of Liangzhou.
Ma Teng is even known as the Tiger of the Northwest.
This Huaili is where Ma Teng is stationed.
Unlike the unparalleled loyal Ma Teng in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Teng was not too loyal. Historically, after Cao Cao completely occupied the north, Ma Teng even took his family to live in Yecheng and was worshiped as a guard by Cao Cao.
In the end, Ma overtook the cavalry and Ma Teng was killed.
Therefore, Ma Teng is not really brave and invincible. On the contrary, he has a soft and timid heart. Especially as Ma Teng gets older.
Huaili City, General Mansion, inside the hall.
Ma Teng summoned his eldest son Ma Chao, general Pound, sons Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, etc. to discuss how to deal with the situation.[
Ma Teng's face was almost wrinkled and worried.
On the contrary, his eldest son Ma Chao has a handsome face, fierce eyes, and is very energetic.
"Father, even if Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and even invaded Hebei, so what? If he dares to lead his troops westward and attack Yongzhou, he will never come back."
Regarding his father's worries about Cao Cao's power, Ma Chao disagreed and raised his fist.
Ma Teng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but then he shook his head in despair and said, "Although we occupy Yongzhou, we don't have Chang'an under our control, let alone Tongguan. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it."
Ma Teng occupied Yongzhou, but only two-thirds of it, and the remaining one-third was in Cao Cao's hands.
"Since my father is worried about this, why not take advantage of Cao Cao's invasion of Hebei, lead his troops to attack Chang'an, and plan to seize Tongguan, and use Tongguan to attack Cao Cao?"
Ma Chao took the opportunity to speak, with a look of excitement on his face.
If there was Tongguan, the Ma family would have the atmosphere of the Qin State during the Warring States Period.
