"This is my friend. His surname is Sima and his given name is Yi." Zhong Yao introduced him with a slight smile.
"It turns out to be Mr. Sima Zhongda." Ma Chao was surprised when he heard this. Now, although Sima Yi is a nobody, he has become famous all over the world. Both of them are in Yongzhou. Just like Sima Yi has heard about Ma Chao's reputation, Ma Chao has also heard about it.
He was more accomplished than Sima Yi, so he didn't dare to be negligent and said politely.
"General Ma." Sima Yi saluted. Then, Sima Yi said with a smile: "General Ma is so powerful in the northwest that no other hero dares to compete with him. Now that I see him, he is indeed very powerful."
"Just a rough martial artist." Ma Chao said modestly.
After the two exchanged a few words, they returned to Zhong Yao. Ma Chao raised his fist and said to Zhong Yao: "Ma Zhengxi sent his last general to respond to Wei Gong's edict and respect Wei Gong as the common master of the world."
[
"Wei Gong is so angry that he swallows mountains and rivers, where destiny lies. Ma Zhengxi is really complying with destiny, and it is a great good thing." Zhong Yao nodded with a smile and said.
Having said this, Zhong Yao paused and then said: "Wei Gong also promised to grant a large number of princes. It will be based on the size of the power and the cities occupied. However, as the old saying goes, no merit will be rewarded. You have been granted the title of princes, but
We must put in some effort to help Duke Wei and attack the Han Dynasty."
"I'm afraid I'm powerless." Ma Chao came here just to express his submission and help Cao Cao fight the war, but it was not part of the plan. After pondering for a moment, Ma Chao said in embarrassment.
"If Ma conquers the west alone, he will naturally be unable to do so, but what if the ten princes from Guanzhong raise troops to conquer the Han Dynasty together?" Zhong Yao said calmly after hearing this. He had the city in his heart, but he had expected that Ma Chao would refuse, so he had already
Ready for the next journey.
Raise troops from ten princes to attack the Han Dynasty together. This is what Zhong Yao and Sima Yi thought of, and they formulated a strategy to help Cao Cao invade the Han Dynasty more quickly.
After all, even if Cao Cao has 200,000 infantry troops, Xudu's city is tall and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in each camp. If he can't attack fiercely, it will take a long time.
If the ten princes from Guanzhong respond in unison, attack Hulao Pass, and march to Xudu, the military morale of the Han Dynasty will collapse immediately. It just so happens that all the princes will make an alliance in Xudu.
Respecting Cao Cao as the common master of the world, he granted the title of princes and divided the boundaries. Learning from the Spring and Autumn Period, large and small countries were everywhere. In this way, Cao Cao had the power to command the ten kingdoms, which could further boost his own momentum and benefit the world.
"Ten princes?" Ma Chao was moved when he heard this and said. Just now he heard that there were seven princes including Ma Teng. Could it be that Han Sui and others would also join the alliance?
"Yes, they are the ten princes. The other three generals, Han Sui, Liang Xing, and Yang Qiu, are still on the road because of the long distance." At this time, Sima Yi replied with a smile, but he used a little trick to stay temporarily.
Ma Chao will talk again.
As for whether Han Sui, Liang Xing, and Yang Qiu were on the way, Sima Yi didn't know. However, just like Sima Yi had just affirmed to Zhong Yao that Han Sui and others were back, Sima Yi was very confident that Han Sui would indeed kill them.
arrive.
Ma Chao never expected that Sima Yi would actually talk so nonsense. After pondering for a while, he felt that if nine of the ten princes were willing to send troops, if he, Ma, did not send troops, he would probably become a target of public criticism.
After pondering for a while, Ma Chao nodded and said, "I will stay here with Lord Taochao Zhong for the time being. When the other princes arrive, we can all sit down and discuss it together."
"Okay." Zhong Yao nodded immediately. Both Zhong Yao and Sima Yi had smiles on their faces. Wei Gong was in the east, and the ten princes of Guanzhong were in the west. This time, the Han Dynasty was unable to fly.
Unless Liu Feng retreats to Xiangyang, he can still survive for a while.
