Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 89
Ma Chao was proud of himself, and said with a smile, "Mr. Feng Xiao is indeed Cao Jun's top strategist. This method is interesting, not bad."

Guo Jia and Cao Pi looked at each other and quickly separated.

Ma Chao was about to agree, when suddenly Ma Dai touched his foot.

Ma Chao swallowed his words, frowned and said, "But I have to go back and discuss this matter, and I will give you an answer later."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's easy to say. General, please drink."

The food and wine have already been served, and everyone is eating.

But the atmosphere has been in a weird.

The generals of Cao Jun's noses are not noses, and their faces are not faces, which is in sharp contrast with the generals of Ma Jiajun.

Satisfied with wine and food, Ma Chao and others left.

All the generals of Cao Jun shouted and cursed to vent their dissatisfaction.

Cao Pi frowned and said, "Sir, do you think there is something wrong with Ma Chao?"

Guo Jia shook his head, "Let's see how he behaves."

Cao Pi snorted, "I think there is definitely a problem. Then when did Ma Yunlu not come where his brother was? Why didn't he come this time? He must have a guilty conscience."

Cao Hong agreed: "We brought so many soldiers and horses here. We were so arrogant just now, but the **** still didn't agree. If it's not weird, go to hell."

Guo Jia shook his head and sighed, and said, "All generals, be calm and calm. At this stage, we cannot turn against Ma Chao and others."

As soon as Ma Chao returned to the camp, he pulled Ma Dai and said, "What did you want to say just now?"

Ma Dai frowned and said: "Cao Jun has always been treacherous, and Guo Fengxiao is a resourceful man. This kind of self-deprecating behavior is rare."

Ma Chao chuckled and said, "Cao Jun can't beat Yuan Jun in the first place, so it's useless if he doesn't say that."

"Although that is the case, there is another possibility, but we have to guard against it."

"Which?"

For this younger brother, Ma Chao has always been more convinced, because Ma Dai has read a lot of books, and he is a rare Confucian general in the Ma family army.

"Brother, think about it, if I wait for the promise, Cao Jun will fight back, or secretly send people to attack our camp, or cooperate with Yuan Jun inside and outside the city, what should I do?"

Pang De shouted: "His grandma, I thought Cao Jun was a coward just now, but I didn't expect to be deceitful again. You said that the Central Plains people are not good at fighting, why are they so thoughtful?"

Ma Chao was full of excitement and cooled down. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He slammed the table and cursed: "You are too much of a bully, you Cao Zihuan, you dare to plot to frame me."

He raised his head and said with a sullen face: "The generals listen to the order and immediately gather troops to attack Cao Pi."

Seeing that everyone was about to go to war aggressively, Ma Dai hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, no, this is just speculation, so don't take it seriously."

"Then what do you say?"

Although Ma Chao is reckless, he is not an idiot. He naturally knows that if the two families fight now, whoever will benefit.

A group of reckless men rushed to war without saying a word, but they knew nothing about plots and tricks. At this time, they all scratched their ears and looked at Ma Dai eagerly, waiting for him to make up their minds.

Ma Dai just expressed his doubts, how could he know how to deal with it.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Let me think about it."

"My lord, the food and grass that should have arrived in Xuchang was halved yesterday."

Cheng Yu took a roll of bamboo slips and hurried to find Yuan Xi.

"What did the grain guard say?"

Yuan Xi didn't expect things to come so quickly. In order to ensure sufficient food and grass, he sent it once every two weeks, and this was the second time.

Yuan Xi originally wanted Yuan Shang to give it all at once, but the reason Yuan Shang gave was very strange.

I just said that I can't send so much. If Yiyang City is lost, wouldn't it all be funded by the bandits?
Yuan Xi really couldn't talk to him, and the old bastard didn't turn to him, so he had no choice but to give up.

It's just that I didn't expect that there were not many victories, so why did Yuan Shang start to deduct his own food?

"I don't know, I just said that the third son asked to deliver food like this." Cheng Yu was worried, "Food is the lifeblood of frontline soldiers, so vague, if it spreads out, it may cause riots among soldiers."

"How much food and grass do we have?"

"If you only send half of the food and grass," Cheng Yu pondered for a while, then said, "In addition to the food and grass we brought from Youzhou, there will be a shortage of food and grass in about two months."

"Two months," Yuan Xi pondered, "write a letter to my father in my name, saying that there is a shortage of food and grass, let's see what he says."

Just as Cheng Yu was about to leave, Jia Xu walked over to him.

"Zhongde is here too."

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Talk about the issue of food and grass with the lord."

"Oh, what's the matter with the food?"

Cheng Yu simply repeated the matter, and explained Yuan Xi's countermeasures.

Seeing Jia Xu's brows frowned slightly, Yuan Xi hurriedly asked, "What's your opinion, Mister?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I dare not express my opinion, I just have some small ideas, ha ha."

Yuan Xi took his arm and said, "Tell me quickly, what good ideas do you have?"

"It's not a good idea, it's a bad idea." Jia Xu grinned dryly, "My lord, you can say what you want to hear, and you don't have to listen to what your lord says."

"Speak quickly." Yuan Xi urged.

Jia Xu said: "Don't tell Yuan Gong about the shortage of food for the time being."

Cheng Yu and Yuan Xi were taken aback at the same time.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, and continued: "I think I can send people to Xuchang to spread the news, so I can explain clearly what happened on the front line, saying that the second son has won many battles, but the supply of food and grass is not enough."

Yuan Xi slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "This plan is very clever. But when spreading the news, it's best to write a letter to my third brother and ask him what's the matter, and take the reason first."

Jia Xu said in admiration: "My lord has insight into the details, and he can understand everything. The old man still wants to make a fool of himself, which is almost laughable."

Yuan Xi laughed, and ordered Cheng Yu to write a letter, and then sent someone to spread the news.

After lunch, Yuan Xi was about to take a rest when Chunyu Qiong strode in.

"Second son, Cao Pi is leading the army to call for battle."

Yuan Xi snorted and said, "This Cao Pi is really an immortal Xiaoqiang. He has been defeated several times, but he still dares to fight. Go over and have a look."

Outside the west city, countless soldiers dressed in Cao Jun's armor lined up neatly, and there will be a steady stream of soldiers coming from behind.

Cao Pi and Ma Chao stand side by side, with the generals of their respective families behind them.

Ma Chao held his head high and his face was grim.

Cao Pi's expression was calm, but he just glanced at Ma Chao.

At this time, Cao Hong kept shouting and insulting Yuan Xi in front of him.

Yuan Xi walked to the city wall, looked at the dense crowd of Cao Jun soldiers, and saw Cao Hong yelling harshly, he couldn't help being furious, and was about to swear.

Jia Xu coughed twice and reminded: "My lord, be careful with your words."

Yuan Xi reacted, rolled his eyes, and shouted down the wall: "General Cao, call Cao Pi to come and talk."

"If you want to fight, you can fight, why do you need to talk?"

Yuan Xi laughed and said: "General Cao, don't worry, your mother is still in Youzhou, and a letter will arrive in a few days, please General Cao don't forget my benefits."
