While chasing, soldiers suddenly came to report that Cao Cao had an army camped in Hexi. Ma Chao was very surprised after hearing this. Out of his expectations, he quickly took back the army, returned to the camp, and discussed with Han Sui.
, said: "Cao's army has crossed the river and went to Hexi. Our army will be attacked from both sides. What should we do?" General Li Kan came out to Jianyin and said: "If we were attacked from both sides, our situation will be very difficult. It is better to cede land and seek peace."
The two families discussed their own retreat. When winter passed, Cao's army's earthen city collapsed. Let's consider whether to continue fighting."
After hearing this, Han Sui said, "Li Kan's idea is very good and you can obey it."
Ma Chao was still a little hesitant. After all, Cao Cao and himself were the revenge of killing his father. At this time, Yang Qiu and the candidates came to suggest Ma Chao seek peace, so Han Sui sent Yang Qiu as an envoy to Cao Cao's camp to deliver letters, mainly to discuss cede land and seek peace.
Something about.
Cao Cao said: "I can't reply to you immediately for this matter. I will have someone reply to the result after a while."
So Yang Qiu said goodbye and left.
While Cao Cao was thinking, he suddenly remembered Jia Xu, who had defected to him with Zhang Xiu, and believed that he was also from Xiliang and would know more about the situation in Xiliang, so he ordered Jia Xu to be summoned.
Jia Xu was pacifying potential forces in Xudu. Since Cao Cao was on an expedition, he had the opportunity to distribute his forces and train Xiaoli in the dark. During that period, Xiaoli also grew a lot and her beliefs gradually became firm.
After receiving Cao Cao's letter, Jia Xu immediately judged Cao Cao's intention and set off for the Wei River that night, and Yu Yi's video was opened in the carriage.
After Yu Yi and his troops came out of Ma Chao's Xiliang army, they headed westward. After analyzing the situation, they decided to set up camp in the mountains, which was Ziwu Valley.
Just after settling down, I received a video from Jia Xu.
Jia Xu saw the beautiful scenery around Yuyi and knew that he was in the wild and should be among the Xiliang army. He asked: "I heard that Ma Chao led the Xiliang army to 200,000, and Han Sui had already captured Chang'an, and
Cao Cao is in a stalemate in the Wei River, these are your plans."
Yu Yi smiled and said, "It's not mine, but I'll give some strength to win Chang'an so quickly."
Jia Xu continued to ask, "Then what are you going to attack next?"
Yu Yi said: "How else can I attack? I discussed with everyone and thought I should go west, so I went to Ma Chao to say goodbye. Now it has arrived at Ziwu Valley."
Jia Xu was very surprised after hearing this, but after thinking for a while, he realized his intention and said, "The location of Ziwu Valley is very good, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Further southwest is Hanzhong."
Yu Yi said: "The master must have something to do when he comes to me. Could it be that something happened to Xiaoli?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "During this period, Cao Cao took the army to the west. I took the opportunity to reorganize Xu Du's power, and Xiaoli's comprehensive quality has also improved a lot."
Yu Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it Cao Cao who summoned you!"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Those who know me are disciples! Cao Cao summoned me this time to give advice on this battle. Of course, he could not rule out some of our actions, so he would knock it down."
Yu Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity and said, "If you ask you to give advice, you will be easy to say. If you discover our affairs, it would be bad."
Jia Xu was far away in Xudu, and was not clear about the war on the Weishui River. He said a little anxiously, "I am already on the road and will arrive at Cao Jun camp soon. What should I do?"
As his master, Yu Yi has never seen Jia Xu so panicked. He always looks confident, or because the matter between Ma Teng and Huang Kui was exposed, it has a great blow to Jia Xu.
After a brief analysis, Yu Yi said, "Master, don't panic. If Ma Teng's affairs are exposed and we are implicated, then you will be judged together after Ma Teng was killed. Now Cao Cao summons you, you should
I'm asking you to give me some advice."
After hearing this, Jia Xu felt much more comfortable and continued to ask: "What should I say?"
Yu Yi said: "I observe that the troops in Xiliang are very powerful, which is enough to give Cao Cao a headache. If the troops in Xiliang are too strong and Cao's army retreats step by step, then Sun Quan will definitely have ideas. At that time, the Central Plains will be in a melee and the situation will change. My elder brother
Although in Jingzhou, he is in a state of being attacked from all sides, which is not conducive to the strategic plan of three parts of the world. So Cao Cao asked you to give advice. I think it would appropriately weaken the power of the troops in Xiliang. If Ma Chao can enter our camp, then the Qiang tribe will be the same.
If you will also use it for me, then there will be hope for reviving the Han Dynasty."
Jia Xu knew Yu Yi’s intention and said, “Weakening the Xiliang army is to strive for the strength to enter Xichuan and gain a stronger foundation. I should think of a way.”
After discussing Xu Du's careful construction work, the two hung up the video.
Jia Xu soon arrived at the battlefield. The weather was very cold at that time, which made Jia Xu a little uncomfortable. He entered the camp and listened to Cao Cao's remarks about the current situation and asked, "What did the Prime Minister think?"
Cao Cao was a little unhappy and said, "I brought you from Xu Du so far away to ask you for advice. What do you mean by this?"
Jia Xu's face changed slightly, and he bowed, saying, "I also heard the soldiers tell me some of the situation on the road. In my opinion, the soldiers are never tired of deceitfulness. You can pretend to agree first. The Xiliang soldiers led by Ma Chao are brave and good at fighting. We want to go from the front battlefield.
It is very difficult to win. You can use counter-espionage to make Ma Chao and Han Sui have different opinions. When Ma Chao is a little confused, you can defeat the Xiliang army in one go."
Cao Cao also planned the plan for counter-espionage for a while. When Jia Xu said it, he was very happy and said, "The smart ideas in the world are almost the same. Your strategy is exactly what I think!" So he sent a letter to him.
The man went to Ma Chao's camp to reply and said, "When I slowly retreat my troops and return the land in Hexi to you."
On the other hand, Cao Cao built a floating bridge in Xiliang, which meant to retreat.
After receiving the letter, Ma Chao said to Han Sui: "Although Cao Cao agreed to the idea of seeking peace, he is very treacherous. If he is not prepared, he will definitely be counter-attacked. I will take turns to dispatch soldiers with my uncle. Today, my uncle is against Cao Cao, I
Regarding Xu Huang, on the second day, I will treat Cao Cao and my uncle will treat Xu Huang. Let’s prepare separately and beware of any other thoughts he will have.”
Han Sui agreed and followed the plan.
Someone reported this matter to Cao Cao soon, and Cao Cao said to Jia Xu: "It seems that our affairs will be successful!" After saying that, he turned around and asked the soldiers, saying, "Who is going to our side tomorrow?"
Reply: "It's Han Sui."
Cao Cao was very happy. On the second day, Cao Cao led all the generals out of the camp and followed him around.
