Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer, you dare to steal my horse!

Chapter 76 This was a scam from beginning to end.

At the same time, Xiliang.

Ma Teng was sitting in front of the copybook at this time, frowning as he looked at the funeral edict on the copybook.

"What kind of medicine is sold in Cao Cao's gourd?"

Ma Teng asked in a low voice.

However, none of the people around dared to speak.

On this edict, it seems to say that the Xiongnu are in rebellion, ordering Xiliang to go to suppress the bandits.

After a long time, Ma Chao slowly stood up and said:
"Father, this is obviously an attempt to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Then Cao Cao was afraid that we would do something to Xu Chang, so he specially found a reason to use this emperor's edict to restrain us!"

"If you want me to say, just ignore him!"

"His doing so undoubtedly reveals that Xu Du doesn't have much defense."

"Let's just go against it!"

Hearing this, Han Sui shook his head and said:
"Nephew, absolutely not!"

"At this time, the great man is still alive, and the emperor's edict is still valid!"

"If you don't obey, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Ma Chao was puzzled and said:

"Why does uncle think so?"

"Where is this emperor's edict?"

"It's clearly the false decree drawn up by that thief Cao!"

"Why do you trust him?"

Han Sui shook his head and said:
"Nephew, how could uncle not know that this is a fake decree?"

"But whether it is Cao Cao's intention or the emperor's intention, this is an imperial edict."

"And, that's not the point."

"If you ask me, I'm afraid Cao Cao is trying to test me!"

"He wanted to see if I would obey."

When Ma Teng heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he said immediately:
"Oh?"

"What does Wenyue mean by this?"

Han Sui continued:
"Shoucheng, think about it carefully!"

"I don't know how many troops Cao Cao sent to the south at this time."

"I don't know the strength of Xudu's remaining troops."

"Therefore, I guess that there are quite a few troops left behind in Xudu!"

"But at this time, the battle between Cao Cao and Jiangdong may be imminent."

"Cao Cao probably wants to mobilize some troops from Xudu, so he came here to test us."

"If I wait to agree to come down to suppress the Xiongnu, Cao Cao will be relieved."

"At that time, we will just have to pretend to be at war with the Huns at the border."

"Wait for a while, and after the battle report comes from Jiangdong, we will raise our troops and go straight to Xuchang!"

"It's the safest way to do this!"

Hearing this, Ma Teng's brows immediately eased:
"Fantastic!"

"Wen Yue's words are actually the best policy!"

"Just do as you say!"

Upon seeing this, Ma Chao immediately said eagerly:

"Father, uncle, don't be so indecisive!"

"What if this is Cao Cao's delaying tactic, and I'm afraid I'll go directly to attack Xu Du?"

"If you want me to say, it's better to attack Xu Du directly!"

"Then Cao Cao must not have many defenses!"

Ma Teng shook his head and said:
"My son!"

"You know, it's not that simple."

"If we want to enter the Central Plains and achieve great things, we must win the hearts of the people!"

"You are also aware of what the Huns did on the border."

"If I wait to respond to the emperor's call and go to rescue the people on the border, then the people's hearts will return!"

"If we go directly to attack Xuchang, even if we defeat him, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long!"

Han Sui also echoed:
"Nephew Meng Qi, don't forget why I waited so long to hide my strength and bide my time!"

Hearing what the two said, Ma Chao fell silent for a moment, and then sighed helplessly:

"Since your father and uncle have said so, Chao has no objection."

After finishing speaking, Ma Chao left the camp quickly.

"you!"

"All the ministers are here, why are you leaving?"

Ma Teng widened his eyes, and was about to teach Ma Chao a lesson, but was stopped by Han Sui:
"Okay, Shoucheng, it's not like you don't know Meng Qi's temperament."

"Let him think about it, and he will be fine."

"This kid is just too eager for quick success."

Ma Teng heaved a long sigh and had no choice but to give up:
"That's all, I'm the one who spoiled Meng Qi."

"Ling Ming, you go and tell the envoy, I will take orders."

"Afterwards, count the soldiers and horses, and take [-] soldiers and horses to the border."

"Here!"

Upon hearing this, Pang De accepted the order with fists folded, and left after Ma Chao.

……

"Meng Qi, Meng Qi!"

Just as Ma Chao was furious, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Pound?

Hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look.

Pound caught up and said in a deep voice:

"Meng Qi, you are still too eager for quick success."

"You just think about fighting, but you never think about anything popular."

"Since you want to leave the bitter cold of Xiliang, you should think carefully."

Ma Chao frowned and said:
"How come I'm eager for quick success?"

"Ling Ming, think about it carefully!"

"At this time, almost all of Cao Cao's troops are heading to Jiangdong, intending to take Jiangdong."

"This is my only chance!"

"Who knows how long this Jiangdong can last?"

"If it is according to what my father and uncle said, what if Cao Cao has returned to the court by then?"

"Such a good opportunity, absolutely not to be missed!"

Pound shook his head and said:
"Meng Qi, you are thinking too simply."

"Do you know how difficult Jiangdong is to fight?"

"There is a natural moat in the east of the Yangtze River, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is far different from my Xiliang."

"Even if Cao Cao sent his entire army, he could only cross the river cautiously."

"If you want to win Jiangdong, I am afraid that one or two years will not be enough."

"If Cao Cao had such strength, I'm afraid I, Xiliang, would be gone by now."

Ma Chao was only stunned when he heard the words, and didn't speak.

Pound patted Ma Chao on the shoulder helplessly:

"Forget it, Meng Qi, just think about it."

After all, Pound left without looking back.

At this time, Ma Dai followed closely, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother, I think what Ling Ming said makes sense."

"Although the father and uncle's method will take a lot of time, it is the safest method."

"As my father said, doing this is also for the sake of the people."

Ma Chao immediately said impatiently:

"You know shit!"

"That's all, anyway, the Huns are not a good thing."

"Beat them first and vent your anger!"

Ma Dai shook his head helplessly, and immediately said:

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Ma Chao said without looking back:

"Come on, let's take the advance army to the border first!"

"Kill two Huns to relieve their anger!"

However, neither Ma Teng nor Han Sui could have imagined that this false decree was not sent by Cao Cao, but by Bai Chuan.

What's more, they didn't know that no matter whether they went directly to attack Xuchang or attacked Xuchang after the Huns were wiped out, Xuchang had a lot of troops.

This has been a scam from beginning to end.

However, what Bai Chuan wanted was to make this unstable factor work for him.
