I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Thousands of war horses galloped past him, splashing smoke and dust.

Cao Pi stepped aside, covered his mouth with his sleeve and looked at the back of Cao Xiong outside the city gate.

"Brother Xiong, if you leave Yecheng this time, you will never come back again!"

Cao Pi said secretly.

After finishing speaking, Cao Pi got into the carriage waiting for the narrator and drove him back.

He still has matters big and small in Yecheng, waiting for him to approve them.

Beside the main road in the city, Lingju was also beside him, watching Cao Xiong's back as he left.

I silently miss Cao Xiong in my heart.

At this time, a woman in ordinary plain clothes came to a booth not far from her.

The woman glanced at Lingju, and then continued to choose items on the booth.

Lingju is still so beautiful.

Chapter 1641

Xiliang, stable.

Ma Yunlu was on the city wall, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, green woods and grass leaves outside the city.

In her eyes, these things constitute a painting.

Now, even if a gust of wind blows, she feels that the wind is fragrant.

Her eyes lit up again, although she was a little hungry.

The army was running out of food, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai were trying to get some more food from the people in the city.

But she had something to look forward to.

Because Cao Xiong is coming!

"Cao Xiong, when will you come here?"

Ma Yunlu lay on the top of the wall and waited.

Cao Xiong's army left Yecheng and arrived in Chang'an half a month later.

Here, he met Zhang Xi, the general who defended Chang'an.

"General Zhang He."

Zhang He was wearing leather armor, which did not diminish the prestige of the famous general at all.

"My lord, I have been waiting here for a long time."

"General Zhang, you are welcome, let's walk into the city and talk..."

Cao Xiong saluted Zhang He respectfully.

This is one of the famous generals!

Cao Xiong looked at Zhang Yun's thick body, and his smile was very hearty.

He is really a general and a blessed general.

One hundred thousand troops entered the city, plus 15 people stationed in Chang'an.

With Cao Xiong here, the crisis in Chang'an will be resolved!

"General, I received a battle report from Yongliang on the way. I heard that the army you sent to deliver food to Anding was intercepted?"

"Yes!" Zhang He was also very upset when it was mentioned.

"The [-] shi army rations were supposed to be sent to Anding, but they were intercepted by Zhuge Liang."

"Now, there is no food and grass in Anding City, and the nearly [-] troops in the city are about to run out of food."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yun was also heartbroken.

He also led troops to fight, and the lack of food for the sergeants is the most dangerous thing for the army.

Ten days without food, Anding City will collapse without attack.

"Don't worry, general." Cao Xiong said, "The Xiliang army has a lot of cavalry, and there are more than ten thousand horses alone."

"Slaughtering horses for food at critical moments can still last for a while."

Hearing Cao Xiong's words, Zhang He was also silent for a while.

What Cao Xiong said is reasonable but ruthless, who doesn't cherish his cavalry when marching and fighting?

"However, if it really comes to the time of slaughtering horses for food, the [-] lives in Anding City will almost have to be accounted for."

Cao Xiong smiled without saying a word.

Zhao Yun took the army to the west city.

Wei Yan and Huang Zhong had been waiting for a long time, and the three of them met with great enthusiasm.

Cao Xiong followed Zhang He into the mansion.

In the evening, Cao Xiong and Zhang Yun looked at the topographic map of Xiliang together.

"My lord, Liang Jun was intercepted here."

Zhang He pointed to a section of the upper reaches of the Jing River and said.

"This time, General Ma Chao and I specially discussed and secretly transported the grain."

"Ma Dai, the grain transporter is Ma Chao's younger brother, thought it was safe."

"Whoa!"

Cao Xiong looked at Zhang Yun's bowed head and stomped his feet, and he just smiled casually.

In his opinion, it was not surprising that the grain and grass were robbed this time.

There was a shortage of food in An Ding, and the old thief Zhuge controlled the Fufeng area again. If he wanted to transport grain from Chang'an, he had to slant out of the Jing River and transport grain up along the Jing River.

Zhuge Liang only needs to ambush one place, and he can easily take these grains!

Liangzhou, An Ding.

Ma Yunlu had lunch early, and then ran to Ma Chao's mansion.

On the way, she heard rumors from the army that the prince had already led troops to Yongliang.

"Brother!" Ma Yunlu came to Ma Chao's case, "Is Cao Xiong coming?"

……

Chapter 1642 Three Stinky Cobblers, Stinner Than Zhuge Liang!

Three cobblers, more smelly than Zhuge Liang!

Ma Chao looked up at her, then nodded.

"Wow!" Ma Yunlu frowned slightly, danced his fists excitedly, and smiled.

However, Ma Chao didn't look very happy.

Ma Chao will continue to discuss strategies with Cao Zhang later.

The news of Shizi's imminent arrival was sent by Shizi to let him be released in Anding.

Even Cao Zhang didn't know about this matter.

Ma Chao was puzzled.

The rumored news in Anding City will soon be brought to Zhuge Liang's army by enemy scouts.

In this way, wouldn't Zhuge Liang be on guard?

Moreover, Zhuge Liang will definitely use treacherous tricks to target the prince's army.

"The son has arrived in Chang'an, and should have set off by now."

Ma Chao looked at the scrolls on the wall, and now he was going to discuss countermeasures with Cao Zhang.

Although the two are not good at strategizing, and they are a bit at odds.

However, there is one point where the two of them agree.

That is, three generals can defeat a strategist's strategy.

At this time, not only Ma Yunlu, Ma Chao and Cao Zhang were excited.

There were three other people who were more excited than them.

On the banks of the Wei River, Zhang Bao Guan Xing's army.

The two were waiting for news from Ma Su.

Ma Di led five hundred troops out three days in advance to inquire about the news.

The fact that Cao Xiong, the eldest son of the Cao family, is coming has become a firm fact.

After hearing the news, the three of them immediately discussed that Ma Su would lead troops down the Wei River to spy on Cao Xiong's army.

Cao Xiong sent troops from Chang'an, the strength of which would be no less than [-].

The route for the army to march, march and transport food must be determined in advance.

As long as he gets information about Cao Jun, Ma Di will have a chance to ambush Cao Xiong's army.

Ma Di went down the Wei River, and within a day, he came to the vicinity of Jingzhao County.

If Ma Su didn't expect, Cao Xiong would definitely leave Chang'an, march west along Jingzhao, first take down Fufeng County, then form a corner with Anding County, and then seek Tianshui.

However, he still wanted to see Cao Xiong's army with his own eyes to verify his thoughts.

Ma Di brought dozens of people to a high ground and looked down at the mountain in the distance.

"Joining the army, this is already Cao Jun's territory, it's not suitable to stay for a long time, should we check in another place, so as not to be discovered by Cao Jun's patrol team?"

Ma Di has been here for an hour.

"That makes sense." Ma Su nodded.

It's a bit dangerous here. If you want to get things done, you can't be in a hurry. He doesn't have many people with him, so it's better to be careful.

"Go!" Ma Di waved to the people around him.

However, as soon as he turned around, someone beside him shouted in a low voice, "Join the army, someone is here."

Ma Di quickly turned around and looked at the crossing outside the continuous mountains.

At the end of the mountain range, there was indeed a group of people.

Ma Su hid behind the grass and looked at the distant army.

Judging by the momentum, it looks like a new army that has just set off.

"You two, go and see whose flag it is."

Ma Su said to the two people around him.

Two people can lead the order to go along the mountains.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Ma Su looked at the Cao army again and laughed silently.

Zhang Bao is in the army.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were patrolling in the army camp.

Guan Xing felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He still felt that it was inappropriate for Ma Su to lead this army and advise them independently of Zhuge Liang's orders.
