Summary of the previous chapter: When children start to grow up, mothers naturally start to think about their children. First, Diao Chan tries her best to teach Ma Xiao, and then Hua Yuexin takes the initiative to talk to Ma Xiaoquan about Ma Zheng. However, the two women have different ideas.
In this way, Diao Chan wanted her son Ma Xiao to be the future head of the family, while Hua Yuexin, for the sake of the family, decisively gave up her fight for the rights of the head of the family for her legitimate son Ma Zheng... Little did he know that the fate of the two sons had already been arranged.
...
In the first ten days of the first month of the 11th year of Jian'an of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, 206 AD, he rebelled against Cao Cao as Ma Xiaoquan said.
Before that, Cao Cao had been prepared. When he heard about the rebellion, not only was he not anxious, but he was very happy and said to his opponent: "Master Shangxian had expected it a long time ago, and he told me a long time ago, haha..."
In the middle of the first month, Cao Cao led troops to attack.
They planned a sudden rebellion and caught Cao Cao off guard. To this end, they secretly prepared soldiers and soldiers, just to surprise Cao Cao.
However, his wishful thinking was wrong. He raised his troops to rebel, and Cao Cao immediately announced a high-profile crusade.
"What's going on? What's going on?" In the Jinyang Mansion of Bingzhou Prefecture, people were blushing and necking with anger.
In front of him, a primary school student was kneeling and trembling, not daring to say a word.
"What do you mean?"
This little school boy was so scared that he didn't even dare to speak or raise his head.
"Get out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elementary school ran away like a plague.
"Well" Yi sat down on the ground, exhaled a long breath, and said loudly: "The matter has come to this, we can't do anything without fighting! Give me my order and prepare to meet the enemy!"
...
On the other hand, Cao Cao invited Ma Xiaoquan to join him in the expedition. The reason was that the achievements this time would be converted into money and food and given to the Immortal.
Ma Xiaoquan readily accepted the invitation.
In the middle and late days of the first month, Cao Cao's army pressed into Bingzhou.
Bingzhou, if divided according to the current geographical boundaries, spans most of Shanxi, as well as parts of Inner Mongolia and Hebei.
After checking the data device in his body, Ma Xiaoquan frowned and thought to himself: Bingzhou is quite big and a strategic location. It seems that even if there is no objection, Cao Cao will take charge of Bingzhou himself sooner or later.
He was quite courageous, knowing that since he had rebelled against Cao Cao, he had no more thoughts.
However, in order to counter Cao Cao's public attack, he published a special statement, said some things, and made up some stories.
In the appeal, the past grudges between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were mentioned. As Yuan Shao's nephew, he naturally went towards his dead uncle Yuan Shao. Therefore, in the first half of the appeal, he tried his best to criticize Cao Cao's deceitfulness and his uncle Yuan Shao's innocence; the appeal
In the second half of the story, the conversation changed and he gave his rebellion a name.
The message said, I have worked hard for so long just to protect the country for the Han Dynasty. My uncle Yuan Shao was charming and a good man, but he was killed by Cao Cao, a traitor who stole the country. Now, Cao Cao actually wants to attack me. Everyone
He said, "Can you tolerate me as the governor of Bingzhou, a great Han Dynasty..."
The second half of the appeal was very sonorous and powerful. Cao Cao kept raising his eyebrows while listening.
After the clerk finished reading the memorandum, Cao Cao just nodded slightly, and then asked Ma Xiaoquan: "What do you think, Master Shangxian?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Does Xiao Cao have murderous intentions?"
Cao Cao nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "You can't kill him!"
"Why?"
"The person who wants to kill him will not be you, Xiao Cao!"
Cao Cao said oh and stopped talking.
...
At the beginning of the second half of the first lunar month, Cao and Gao started fighting in Bingzhou.
Cao Cao and others, even after a few battles, most of Bingzhou surrendered one after another. The counties that refused to surrender were all his confidants.
In Jinyang City, listening to the bad news coming from the front, my mood was extremely bad.
Some people suggested surrendering to Cao Cao again. The reason was that a few people did this in the first place. Later, when Cao Cao caught them again, not only did he not behead them, but he treated them even more preferentially.
After listening to the suggestion, he shook his head and said: "That's because Cao Cao was not strong enough at that time. Now, I, the governor of Bingzhou, have turned against him and voted for him again and again. Do you think he can tolerate me?"
"
You are right. Although Cao Cao is becoming more and more powerful, his mind is becoming more and more narrow-minded.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, starting from Emperor Gaodi Liu Bang, he forced a bunch of kings who helped him conquer the world to rebel, and then killed them one by one. Although the current Cao Cao is not as exaggerated as Liu Bang, but soon
In the future, I think Cao Cao will become such a person.
Furthermore, he is Yuan Shao's nephew, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are mortal enemies. Yuan Shao's three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan was killed by Cao Cao, the second son Yuan Xi, and the third son Yuan Shang are still in western Liaoning to avoid Cao Cao's pursuit.
.
With such a kinship relationship, I thought it would be even more impossible for Cao Cao to spare him.
If you don’t fight, you will die, if you fight, you will die. Rather than die a useless person, it is better to die with a little backbone and integrity.
He made up his mind, slapped his forehead hard, and ordered loudly: "The entire army retreats to defend and protect the positions we still have. Doesn't that old thief want my Bingzhou? Then let him have a taste of me."
sharp."
...
Inside Cao Jun's tent.
Ma Xiaoquan shook the cattail leaf fan and happily gnawed on the chicken leg, while Cao Cao led Guo Jia to talk non-stop.
It wasn't difficult to fight, so Cao Cao didn't take it too seriously.
"Master Immortal, if you don't let me kill you, will you live or die?"
Ma Xiaoquan threw down the finished chicken leg bone, smashed it twice in his mouth and said, "He will probably die. In this era, there is no room for people who repeatedly rebel."
Guo Jia interjected: "What Master Shangxian said is true, but I heard that he is quite good at fighting defensive battles..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly: "With Fengxiao here, I believe it won't be a problem for Xiao Cao to win... Fengxiao, am I right?"
Guo Jia smiled modestly and then coughed.
"Fengxiao, are you okay?"
Guo Jia raised his head, shook his head and said, "I'm fine..."
Cao Cao sighed and poured a glass of water for Guo Jia himself, while Ma Xiaoquan sighed secretly in his heart.
...
In the middle of the first month of the first lunar month, Cao Cao attacked Jinyang City with overwhelming force.
Facing Jinyang, which is known as the heroic city, Cao Cao felt a little worried.
If the loss of troops is not taken into account, Cao Cao can quickly capture Jinyang, but after repeated calculations, Cao Cao felt that it was not worthwhile.
At this time, it would be great if we could defeat the enemy without fighting.
Cao Cao chuckled, shamelessly approached Ma Xiaoquan, and said sarcastically: "Master Shangxian, can you convince me?"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes at Cao Cao: "I know what you are thinking, but this time, I will never help you too much. I have said that I will not participate in the dispute you are waiting for.
.....”
After feeling depressed, Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat.
"Fengxiao, tell me, how should we fight this Jinyang?"
Guo Jia kept coughing, and after a while he slowly said: "My lord, his skills are exhausted now, but his morale is still there. We can wear him down for two days first, and when his fighting spirit subsides a little, lord is here."
Personally lead the troops to attack Jinyang. By then, I think the loss will be much better than rushing to attack and capture Jinyang now."
Cao Cao nodded and looked at Ma Xiaoquan beside him.
Ma Xiaoquan also nodded, agreeing with Guo Jia's view.
"Okay, then do what Feng Xiao means!"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat 10 miles.
At night, the lights in Jinyang City were brightly lit, and he kept his eyes open throughout the day, waiting for Cao Cao to come and fight him, but Cao Cao refused to fight. Not only did he not fight, he also retreated 10 miles.
After learning some military tactics and thinking about it for a while, I immediately understood Cao Cao's intention.
"This damn old thief wants to kill me!"
Gritting his teeth, he thought again: In fact, this is good, I might have a chance to escape. If I am allowed to escape, I will definitely go to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao...
"Give me my order and most of you will rest!"
"yes!"
He called several of his generals in and deployed a defensive strategy in detail. As soon as these men left, they hurriedly pulled out a black suit from under the cave.
"Well, I'd better run!" After saying that, he put on his black clothes and jumped out of the window...
Not long after leaving, Cao Jun came to provoke him outside Jinyang City. Several of his men came to call, but found no response.
The men thought they were asleep, so they didn't disturb him any more and continued to carry out the previous arrangements.
At the foot of the city, it was Cao Hong who came to challenge and call for battle.
On the other side, Ma Xiaoquan lay quietly on the chariot, watching Cao Hong's performance.
"... Come out here, Grandpa Cao, taste your grandfather's gun, and your grandfather will blow your asshole..."
", your fucking name is so disgusting. Why did your father give you such a bad name? Who the hell do you want to fuck?"
...
The more Cao Hong scolded, the worse he got. Ma Xiaoquan couldn't stand it anymore, so he took off his shoes and threw them out.
Throwing the shoes under the dim torch light was like shooting a cold arrow. Cao Hong reacted very quickly and dodged Ma Xiaoquan's shoes.
Ma Xiaoquan scolded: "Zilian, your scolding skills are so damn good. I can't stand it anymore. Do you dare to scold me even more harshly?"
Cao Hong knew that what Lord Shangxian said was ironic, so he chuckled and rode up to Ma Xiaoquan's chariot: "Sir Shangxian, these words were taught to me by Brother Liang Longliang, the subordinate of Lord Shangxian.
.....”
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he thought to himself: This stupid Diplodocus is getting better and better at scolding people. He even has apprentices... Damn it.
