Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Cao's army camp.

Chinese army tent.

"King Wei, someone saw that Ma Tie was released by Yuan Shao." Cao Hong reported to Cao Cao.

After hearing that Ma Tie was released by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.Cao Cao was suspicious by nature. Sure enough, Ma Tie was captured and then released for no reason, which made Cao Cao suspicious.

Seeing Cao Cao frowning, Cao Ren on the side immediately understood what Cao Cao was thinking. Cao Ren knew that Cao Cao was very suspicious.

"Wei Wang, this may be a plan!" Cao Ren reminded hastily.

Cao Cao is suspicious, but he is not stupid.After Cao Ren's reminder, Cao Cao's heart suddenly became clear.The suspicion in my heart towards Ma Teng and his son was also swept away.

"Ha ha!"

"Yuan Benchu ​​knows me best. He is trying to use countermeasures against me. How can I, Cao Mengde, be fooled by him to drive a wedge between me and Shoucheng?" Cao Cao laughed loudly.

Of course, Yuan Shao didn't intend to let Cao Cao fall for it so easily.The release of Ma Tie, who had been imprisoned for many days, only planted a seed of doubt in Cao Cao's heart.

Next, you have to water and fertilize this seed, so that this seed can grow into a towering tree.

In Yuan Shao's countermeasures, the capture and release of Ma Tie is just an introduction, and the friendship between Jiang Yiqu and Ma Tie is the key.

Cao Jun's camp, Ma Teng's camp side, Ma Tie is sharing with his father what happened in Yuan Ying these days like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

After listening to Ma Tie's talk about what happened in Yuanying these days, Ma Teng couldn't help but fell into deep thought, quietly thinking about what was wrong with it.

However, Yuan Shao was well-prepared for this countermeasure.In addition to Yuan Shao's side, Han Sui, who knew Ma Teng very well, was helping him with tricks.

Ma Teng thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find any problems. The logic of the whole thing can be explained.

"So, it was your elder brother's friend, Jiang Yiqu, who saved your life?" Ma Teng asked.

"Yes, father, Brother Jiang has saved my life."

"Father, brother Jiang is one of the best in terms of character and martial arts. But Yuan Benchu, an old thief, has no eyes and never reused me, brother Jiang."

"I think we might as well bring Brother Jiang to our side." Ma Tie suggested to his father.

In fact, Ma Tie didn't know Jiang Yiqu's martial arts at all, he was just bragging for Jiang Yiqu.

Hearing Ma Tie's words, Ma Teng's eyes lit up.Since entering Cao Ying, Ma Teng has not made any achievements.If he could instigate Jiang Yiqu's rebellion and stab Yuan Shao at a critical moment, he might really be able to make a great contribution.

After thinking for a while, Ma Teng asked his son Ma Tie, "Do you think this Jiang Yiqu can be used by us?"

"Father, when Big Brother Jiang sent me back, we drank and talked all night long. When Big Brother Jiang was drunk, he vaguely told us that his family was depressed."

"In addition, elder brother and elder brother Jiang are close friends, I think he can be used by us." Ma Tie said very firmly.

Ma Tie has been completely fooled by Jiang Yiqu at this moment, and has completely fallen into Yuan Shao's trap.The most important thing is that Ma Teng is about to be misled by Ma Tie.

"Jiang Yiqu was able to save your life in the Yuan camp, which shows that he has a very close relationship with your elder brother."

"In addition, this person has no ambitions in the Yuan camp. Let's first understand it with reason and emotion, and then go to the king of Wei to ask for an official position for him, then we should be able to take it for our own use. Yes." Ma Teng analyzed seriously.

Why do you say that you want to go to the king of Wei to ask for an official position?Because, since Jia Xu was planning to make kings indiscriminately, these kings and generals have been appointed everywhere.

Now in the whole world, it can be said that the generals are everywhere, and the captain is not as good as a dog.Whether it is the King of Wei or the King of Liang, the official positions conferred by these kings are worthless like gold scrolls.

What official position is the most valuable, the official position granted by the little emperor in Cao Cao's hand is valuable.Therefore, if you want to buy Jiang Yiqu, you have to ask the little emperor to give him an official position.

After Ma Teng's analysis, the two sons nodded again and again, feeling that what their father said made sense.

At this time, Ma Teng also fell into Yuan Shao's trap unknowingly.

I have to say, Ma Teng deserves to be damned. First, Ma Chao cheated his father once, and now Ma Tie cheated his father again.

He, Ma Chao, is He Dehe Neng, who gave birth to two cheating sons, "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cub".

Ma Teng is also a man of affairs. After he had a plan in mind, he immediately went to Cao Cao's central army camp to discuss countermeasures with Cao Cao.

Chapter 476 Cao Cao's Trick

Cao's army camp.

Chinese army tent.

"King Wei, King Liang is asking for an audience outside the camp." A servant outside the camp came to report.

Ma Tie had just returned from Yuanying, and Ma Teng's family was reuniting. At this time, Ma Teng came to see him, which was somewhat beyond Cao Cao's expectations.

"Please come in, King Liang." Cao Cao ordered.

Not long after, Ma Teng and Ma Tie were seen, and Ma Xiu and the two stepped into the camp.

As soon as Ma Teng and his son entered the camp, Cao Cao looked at Ma Tie.He found that this boy, who hadn't seen him for a few days, not only didn't look haggard, but instead became fairer and rounder.

"Brother Shoucheng, my nephew returned home safely. It's time for a family reunion. I don't know what's the matter with Brother Shoucheng coming to my place?" Cao Cao asked Ma Teng.

Ma Teng also knew that Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, so he hurriedly explained to Cao Cao: "King Wei, there are some reasons why my son Ma Tie came back from Yuanying. I found some opportunities in this, and I came here to discuss with King Wei."

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.As soon as Ma Tie came back, Ma Teng took the initiative to bring him to see him, which completely dispelled Cao Cao's suspicion.

"Brother Shoucheng, what is the reason for this?" Cao Cao asked with some doubts.

"Ma Tie, tell King Wei about your affairs in Yuanying." Ma Teng instructed his son Ma Tie.

As soon as Ma Tie heard his father's order, he hurriedly told Cao Cao what happened to him in Yuanying.

After listening to Ma Tie's narration, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel excited, and asked Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, are you planning to instigate Jiang Yiqu?"

"Wei Wang, we are really heroes who see the same thing! That's exactly what I mean." Ma Teng nodded in agreement.

At this time, Cao Cao was also pondering in his heart, and Cao Cao also felt that it was a good way to instigate Jiang Yiqu.

You know, Cao Cao had already instigated Xu You.However, for Yuan Shao's expedition this time, the military advisor accompanying the army was Tian Feng.Xu You was left in Yecheng by Yuan Shao, so he didn't play much use.

If he could instigate against Jiang Yiqu, it would be like poking an eye in front of Yuan Shao, and he would be able to get news immediately of anything that happened in Yuan Shao's camp.

Yuan Shao has Xu You as the nail behind him, and Jiang Yiqu as the front man. These two nails, the front and the back, are nailed to Yuan Shao's key parts, so why is Cao Cao so troubled?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little strange.Cao Cao's heartbeat is tantamount to falling into Yuan Shao's trap.

It has to be said that Yuan Shao's strategy is very clever.He chose Jiang Yiqu to get close to Ma Tie, which was very appropriate.

If, Ju Yi, Zhang Yun of this level go to get close to Ma Tie, then Cao Cao must not believe it.And if the status is low, even if it is rebellion, it will not be of any key use.Jiang Yiqu's identity is exactly the right advantage.

Cao Cao nodded, and asked Ma Teng, "This plan is possible. I wonder how Brother Shoucheng planned it?"

Ma Teng thought for a moment, then said: "Jiang Yiqu is not high enough in Yuan Shaoying, I think we should grant him an official position first, and then, if I come forward to understand the reason and move him with emotion, he will definitely be able to Persuade him to surrender."

Cao Cao has always been the most talented person, and he has never been stingy with official positions.Not to mention, now is at the critical point of fighting Yuan Shao.

If he could instigate Jiang Yiqu, it would not be a problem for Cao Cao to be given an official position.

"If this Jiang Yiqu is willing to serve the lonely king, his official position will not be a problem." Cao Cao waved his hand.

"King Wei, I think it's best to ask His Majesty to give him an official position for this official position." Ma Teng suggested.

Regardless of whether Cao Cao, the king of Wei, or Ma Teng, the king of Liang, was appointed as an official, they are all false names.Only the official position granted by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as real.

Don't you see, why during the Three Kingdoms period, this marquis, that marquis, this general, that general was not as big as Guan Yu, a Hanshouting marquis?

It is precisely because other people's lords and generals are all conferred by princes and kings, but Guan Yu's Marquis of Hanshouting was conferred by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

According to Jiang Yiqu's name, he is far from qualified to be appointed as an official by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.However, whether Jiang Yiqu can be rebelled now is very important to Cao Cao.

There are exceptions to everything. In order to instigate Jiang Yiqu, Cao Cao spent a lot of money.

"Okay, I will ask Emperor Xian to give Jiang Yiqu an official position." Cao Cao nodded in praise.

Cao Cao coerced the emperor to make the princes, and Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was a doll in Cao Cao's hands.

In fact, if Jia Xu hadn't come up with a plan to seal the king and disrupted the world, Cao Cao would coerce the emperor to make the princes reach the peak of power.

It's a pity that Jia Xu's move to become a king made Liu Xie, Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty, a tasteless chicken rib that was tasteless to eat and discarded.

Cao Cao personally led the army, and Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, was sitting in Xudu at this time.Cao Cao quickly sent someone to deliver an order to Cao Ang, ordering him to go to Han Xiandi Liu Xie to discuss an order.

To say that Cao Cao is really generous, he is planning to make Jiang Yiqu a general to suppress the north.

This Zhenbei general is not an ordinary general with a miscellaneous title, this is a very important general title.Zhendong, Zhenxi, Zhennan, and Zhenbei are collectively referred to as the four town generals.

Above the generals of these four towns, there are four generals who conquer the east, conquer the west, conquer the south, and conquer the north.And the generals of the four campaigns are going up, that is, the four generals of front, back, left, and right.Last but not least, he is the great general He Jin used to be.

Sizheng, Sizhen, Siping, Si'an, these titled generals are quite important among the titles of generals.

From Cao Cao's willingness to ask for the official position of General Zhenbei for Jiang Yiqu, it can be seen that Cao Cao is very generous.

Of course, Cao Cao wanted to designate Jiang Yiqu as General Zhenbei, which also had a hidden meaning in it.

Where is Yuan Shao's territory? It's in the north. Who is the general who suppresses the north? It is Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao believes that if Jiang Yiqu is satisfied with the official position of General Zhenbei, it means that he really has anti-Yuan Shao thoughts.

Cao Cao sent people to find Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to ask for an order. From Yanjin Ferry to Xudu, it would take a few days to turn back even if he did not stop day and night.

Of course, Ma Teng was not idle at this time.He first wrote a letter of thanks to Jiang Yiqu in the tone of an elder, thanking Jiang Yiqu for saving Ma Tie's life.In this letter, Ma Teng is getting close to Jiang Yiqu one by one.

After Ma Teng entrusted someone to send the letter to Yuan Ying, Jiang Yiqu didn't even read it, so he brought the letter to see Yuan Shao.

"Ha ha!"

"This kid Ma Teng really got caught."

"Ma Teng has no strategy, Cao Cao has little wisdom, and now I have fallen into my countermeasures, how can I not win this battle." Yuan Shao laughed loudly, and he was very proud.

Chapter 477 Do you want to be General Zhenbei?

Cao and Yuan confronted each other, and no one would take the initiative to start the war easily without the certainty of absolute victory.

This battle was undoubtedly a battle of life and death for both sides, and the loser would inevitably end up in the same fate as Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu.

In about seven or eight days, the people Cao Cao sent to Xudu returned, and they also brought the imperial decree from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to confer Jiang Yiqu as the general of Zhenbei.

Canonized by the imperial decree, General Zhenbei, no matter what the two are, it is a great honor for Jiang Yiqu.

After Cao Cao got the imperial edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he immediately ordered someone to send the imperial edict to Ma Teng, and asked Ma Teng to instigate Jiang Yiqu as soon as possible.

Now that Li Chen has unified the south, and Liu Bei is also developing in Bashu, Cao Cao must get rid of Yuan Shao as soon as possible, and the time left for Cao Cao is running out.

Yuan Shao's camp.

"My lord, Ma Teng has another letter." Jiang Yiqu handed the letter to Yuan Shao.

It has to be said that Yuan Shao had his reasons for sending Jiang Yiqu to get close to Ma Tie.Jiang Yiqu is not so loyal and honest on the surface, on the contrary Jiang Yiqu can be said to be very smooth.

Just like the letter sent by Ma Teng, Jiang Yiqu never read it. He would read the contents of the letter after letting Yuan Shao read it first.

After Yuan Shao read the letter, he glanced at Jiang Yiqu and said, "Ma Teng asked you to meet in the woods ten miles outside the camp on the third watch. It seems that our plan has completely deceived Ma Teng, so go see him tonight. , if he has any request, you don't have to answer, just go back and think about it."

"Promise!" Jiang Yiqu bowed his hands to Yuan Shao in praise.

Late at night, at midnight.

Grove.

When Ma Teng arrived at the grove, Jiang Yiqu had been waiting here for a long time.

"Nephew Jiang Yiqu, I have met Uncle Ma!" Jiang Yiqu dismounted immediately when he saw Ma Teng.

Ma Teng looked at Jiang Yiqu and thought to himself, he really is an imposing general.

"Nephew, please hurry up. Since you are Meng Qi's brother, you are almost the same as my own son." Ma Teng said politely.

"Nephew doesn't dare." Jiang Yiqu said hastily.

"Brother Jiang, we haven't seen each other for a few days." Ma Tie said to Jiang Yiqu.

The two sides tied the horses and talked together.The conditions were simple, and although there were no food and drinks, it did not affect the two parties' narration of old feelings in the slightest.

"My nephew saved Ma Tie's life, and I haven't been able to thank him in person. Today I just asked my nephew to meet me. I hope my nephew won't be offended." Ma Teng said politely.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? My nephew doesn't dare!" Jiang Yiqu hurriedly replied.

Ma Teng expressed his gratitude, but Jiang Yiqu shied away

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Ma Teng felt that the heat was almost ready, so he took out the imperial decree from his pocket.

"Nephew, you saved my son's life, and uncle doesn't know how to thank you. Just look at this thing." Ma Teng said, and handed the imperial decree to Jiang Yiqu.
