The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Who would have known at this moment that the opponent who came was actually under the command of General Ma Chao of the West Route Army.

Facing the friendly army, Zhang Xiong's worries were finally swept away.

After hearing Zhang Xiong's question, Pang De explained to him.

After listening to the narration, Zhang Xiong was overjoyed.

Only now did he know that Cao Ren's [-] army had been completely wiped out, and he also fled.

Now Ma Chao has led [-] troops to Wushi City to join his father.

Afterwards, Pang De led Zhang Xiong to meet Ma Chao behind him.

When Zhang Xiong left, he immediately ordered his left and right to pass the good news back to Wuzhi as soon as possible, so that his father would also know.

Although Zhang Xiong didn't know Pound, he was very familiar with Ma Chao, His Majesty's beloved general.

So the moment he saw Ma Chao, the doubts in his heart were completely eliminated.

Then he got off his horse and saluted Ma Chao.

Ma Chao didn't expect Zhang Xiong to be here on guard and patrolling.

However, when he heard about the recent experience from Zhang Xiong, he was also full of emotion in his heart, and he was full of admiration for Zhang He and his generals.

Afterwards, led by Zhang Xiong, Ma Chao's army finally arrived at the city of Wuzhi.

Zhang Yun had already received the news and was waiting outside the city.

After seeing the banners gradually appearing on the distant horizon, he finally showed joy.

After the two armies met, they were polite to each other for a while, and then led by Zhang Xi to the city.

"Meng Qi, you are finally here. With you here, I can finally sleep well!"

Hearing this, Ma Chao hurriedly said politely: "Jun Yi is being polite. I admire you for defeating Cao's army repeatedly with [-] solitary troops!"

At this time, Zhang Yun suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned around and took out a belief.

"Meng Qi, His Majesty handed it over to me before I came. He only said that I would hand it over after seeing Meng Qi face to face.

Now that Meng Qi has arrived, please accept His Majesty's letter! "

When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately looked cautious.

Although he didn't understand why His Majesty didn't give it to him directly from the rear, instead he had to go through all kinds of troubles to have it delivered by Zhang Yun who was deep behind the enemy.

However, he quickly opened the letter.

Ma Chao watched anxiously from the beginning to the end, but his face became more and more shocked, and he couldn't help but say in the end:

"Your Majesty is truly a heavenly man! You have planned it in such detail that we are all overwhelmed!"

Others didn't know what he meant, but after Ma Chao read it, he handed the letter to Pang Tong beside him, asking him to read it too.

Others also came together curiously to read the contents of the letter together.

It turned out that based on the letter, Liu Ke had predicted the course of the war between Ma Chao and Cao Ren.

But this is just the background, and the arrangements behind are crucial.

Ma Chao and Zhang Yun joined forces, and they went down the Jingshui River from Wuzhi, and they would surround Cao Cao with Liu Ke's army.

But there are still some risks that have to be guarded against.

First, although Cao Ren has been defeated, he will never let it go, and will definitely take the opportunity to harass and affect the progress.

In addition, Cao Pi still has a large army stationed in Jincheng County in the rear. When he hears the news that Cao Cao is surrounded, he will definitely go out.

Coming from the direction of Jincheng, there are two roads.

One of them is a waterway, which goes down the Yellow River, and when it reaches the entrance of the Qingshui River, it turns south and goes along the Qingshui River Valley through Qiuyuan, to Gaoping, and finally to Chaona.

The other is the land route, starting from Jincheng, passing through the northern foothills of Qilian Mountains, and finally arriving at Gaoping.

The two roads are easy and difficult, one is far and the other is near, and the time to reach Gaoping is about the same.

Therefore, Liu Ke stated in the letter that in order to prevent the two armies from being attacked by the enemy when they encircled Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Zhang He should do a good job in the division of labor.

While one led troops to besiege Cao Cao, the other led troops to capture Chaona and Gaoping.

The reason why I want to focus on Chaona is because this is the only two intersections where Cao Cao retreated.

One of them is naturally Wuzhi, which has been captured by Zhang He. This way is easier.

But there is still a relatively rough road that can also escape from the encirclement, and that is to go through Chaona.

Therefore, in order to block Cao Cao's last retreat, he must also take Chaona into his hands.

As for Gao Ping, it goes without saying.

Whether by water or land, they all pass through Gaoping.

As long as Gaoping is guarded, Cao Pi's reinforcements can be blocked outside, and Cao Cao cannot be supported.

It's no wonder that Ma Chao was amazed, he didn't expect Liu Ke to be in Qi County, so he had already made all the plans to the last detail.

Pang Tong and the generals were equally astonished after watching it, and lamented His Majesty's wisdom.
