Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Ma Chao's rebellion confused Ma Teng.

Although he was forced by Li Jue and Guo Si, Ma Teng actually did not want to be an enemy of Dong Huang. The gap in strength between them was on the one hand, and Ma Yunlu's favor was on the other.

Ma Teng has always known that Ma Yunlu is one of Dong Huang's three most favored female guards. With this relationship, Ma Teng believes that as long as he cooperates with Dong Huang well, he will never die and will even live happily.

However, the filial son Ma Chao did not care about the life and death of his father, let alone the life and death of his brothers and sisters. He resolutely launched an army with the support of local wealthy families.

Regarding Ma Chao's rebellion, Jia Xu was very indifferent and had no intention of dealing with Ma Teng and his son.

In fact, Jia Xu did not pay attention to Ma Chao's rebellion at all, but ordered Huang Zhong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cheng Yu, Ma Teng, Yan Xing, Qin Yilu and others to march westward.

Jia Xu not only wanted to suppress Ma Chao's rebellion, but also wanted to wipe out the local forces in Hexi in one fell swoop, and then reopen the Western Region Protectorate.

Jia Xu heard Dong Huang say more than once that the melons in the Western Regions were big and white, and Dong Huang almost drooled when he said it.

As the "old father" who was worried about Dong Huang, of course Jia Xu had to fulfill Dong Huang's wish.

Of course, for Ma Yunlu's sake, Jia Xu, who even gave Ma Teng a chance to atone for his sins, would not be as stupid as Fazheng, the young man, who went to arrange a marriage with Dong Huang.

Regarding the matter of giving away his daughter, Jia Xu would not even say a word.

But Jia Xu believed that Huang Zhong, who had even given his daughter to Dong Huang, would definitely bring some local specialties to Dong Huang when he arrived in the Western Regions.

As for whether the local specialties of the Western Regions are white and round fruits, sour and sweet grapes, or tender and smooth cows, that is none of Jia Xu’s business. He has never arranged it anyway!

At that time, even Dong Huang's tiger and wolf concubines would not be able to point the finger at him. At most, Huang Wudie would be consistent with Dong Huang's concubines and not kiss her old father.

What a big deal!

Can you still blame me for your father-daughter feud?

To take a step back, if Huang Zhongshi was not enlightened and did not bring Dong Huang souvenirs, it would not matter. Jia Xu believed that Qin Yilu would definitely remind him.

Qin Yilu and Hu Che'er are Jia Xu's only two common tools, and they always surprise people at critical moments.

Of the two, Hu Che'er has no brains, is very obedient, and can survive thirty rounds in Dian Wei's hands. He is a good thug. Although Qin Yilu is a little smart, he has no lower limit. Now, when he thinks of Qin Yilu giving him Jia Xu still wants to laugh about his wife.

However, at that time, Jia Xu needed to send women away to defile himself, but now, as the head of the officials under Dong Huang, Jia Xu only needs to have a good relationship with those close to Dong Huang.

This kind of building a good relationship does not mean to please, but it means not to be like Fazheng, who is abandoned by others and is disgusted by ghosts.

In short, what Jia Xu wants is that Dong Huang knows that he led the Western Expedition. In the future, if he eats fruits from the Western Regions and drinks milk from the Western Regions, he will not forget his kindness; but at the same time, Dong Huang's concubines will not bear grudges. He will only remember Huang Zhong, and that's enough.

Huang Zhong was quite happy about the important task of the Western Expedition. Penetrating the Western Regions was a feat that would go down in history.

As for Ma Chao, Huang Zhong didn't notice it - what was there to fear about a little kid who couldn't even beat Zhang Liao? What's more, Huang Zhong also brought Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng.

Ma Teng's appearance in front of the formation can at least destroy half of Ma Chao's army's morale. The rest is also a matter of one wave.

The only thing Huang Zhong was worried about was the logistics of the army's food and grass. After all, Dong Huang's army had never had enough food and grass. In this expedition to the Western Regions, food and grass were the biggest enemy.

Subconsciously glancing at his old partner Cheng Yu, Huang Zhong shook his head unconsciously, and his eyes became extremely firm: "It seems that the wealthy people in the Hexi Corridor will have to suffer hard. If you don't suffer, we will suffer... …”

From beginning to end, Huang Hansheng never thought of the possibility that Jia Xu had ulterior motives.

Jia Xu easily occupied Chang'an, and Dong Huang was not idle either, even more easily than Jia Xu.

After all, Jia Xu needs to use his brain and make plans. It can be said that he has been fully involved in the Northern Expedition since he entered Yizhou. He even did not have time to go to Dong Huang's battle to pacify Nanzhong; the smooth battle of Yongzhou was completely Jia Xu spent nearly two years planning the layout and scheduling.

On the other hand, Dong Huang... his greatest contribution may be that he didn't use his brain. Otherwise, there might be more twists and turns.

But no matter what, there is no problem with him being the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition against Yuan Shao, right?

Jia Xu only captured most of Yongzhou. The land east of the river was still in the hands of Li Jue, Guo Si and others, so it cannot be said that he had done all the work. And he, Dong Huang, not only captured the entire Yangzhou and Xuzhou, He also captured most of Yuzhou and pushed the front directly to Yanzhou bordering Cao Cao and the extremely empty Qingzhou.

Putting aside the facts, let’s compare who occupies more territory and who annihilates more enemies!

[I, Dong, am truly an unprecedented military wizard! 】

Because the road was muddy and the weather was hot, Dong Huang was unwilling to go north, so Dong Huang took the beauty to Huangshan to escape the summer heat. He felt quite proud that he also had the style of a wise general who could "strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away".

In this regard, Fa Zheng, who stepped on the mud pit to Shouchun and then crossed the river from Shouchun to personally command the army to attack Qiao County, Cao Cao's hometown, had something to say.

Although it is true that Dong Huang boasted of "making strategic plans and winning decisively thousands of miles away", Fazheng was extremely dissatisfied that this battle with absolute superiority had ended like this.

Although Dong Huang's army had no strategic problems in this battle, it was absolutely a mess tactically. If the front-line generals were not strong enough and the soldiers were elite enough, fighting beautiful battles one after another, it is still unclear who would win. .

Fazheng even felt that if his generals and soldiers were on the same level as Yuan Shaojun, this battle would definitely be a big defeat.

So what face does he have to deal with such a bad debt!

This is also an important reason why Fazheng wanted to go to the front line in person. He refused to accept it. He couldn't command an army of three to five million people anymore?

Fazheng was obsessed with proving himself, but Cao Cao was panicked.

Yanzhou was originally the place of the Four Wars, but when he woke up, there were Gao Shun and Taishi Ci in the east, Zhang Liao, Zhou Tai, Xu Huang in the south, and Fazheng, Zhao Yun, Le Jin and others in the west, totaling five to six hundred thousand troops. , how to do this?

Once the fight started, it was all a flat plain, not even a large rear area!

"What can I do about it?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You.

What can be done?

Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You looked at each other in silence.

In the face of absolute strength, strategies pale in comparison.

Cao Cao has been working very hard these days, and his salary... soldiers have also been increasing. Since the defeat of Luoyang and Chen Liu, his soldiers have expanded from less than 10,000 to almost 200,000 now.

So is he really not trying hard?

But facing Dong Huang's faster-growing army, Cao Cao felt deeply powerless.

It feels like you have saved half a year's salary and want to reward the female anchor for a shot. As a result, because the female anchor has more support from the top brothers, the price has soared to the point where it takes three years of salary to pay one shot. Despair like a cannon.

It’s not that I don’t work hard, it’s just that the price of seafood has increased too much.

Thank you brothers for your monthly ticket support! I didn’t expect so many brothers to vote in these days, thank you very much!
