My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

Xu Shu has been frowning since he arrived in Liyang yesterday. He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Xu Shu, what are you thinking? It's been like this since yesterday!

Xu Shu raised his head and said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, when you arrived in Liyang yesterday, did you find anything wrong?"

As soon as he heard Xu Shu ask a question, Lu Bu felt that one head and two were big, and hurriedly said, "Just say it!" I'm not you, I can't think of it!

Hearing this, Xu Shu did not show a wry smile as usual, and still frowned.

Seeing this abnormal scene, Lu Bu realized that Xu Shu might have discovered something. So he urged: "Xu Shu, don't sell Guanzi!" Say it!

Xu Shu paused for a moment before saying, "I am not surprised that Liyang is self-defeating; But..."

"What's going on?" Lu Bu asked impatiently.

Xu Shu shook his head, "I can't say it clearly for a while!"

Lu Bu suddenly had an uncomfortable feeling that he couldn't pull out, and he wanted to beat Xu Shu in his heart, but of course he couldn't really do it.

"If you can't tell, that's no problem! All right! Stop thinking nonsense! "

The army advanced unhurriedly, and after noon it reached the Yellow River. Across the Yellow River is the county seat of Baima.

Lü Bu immediately ordered people to go around collecting the ships. I thought it would take a bit of effort to collect enough boats, but I didn't want to collect all the boats needed to build the pontoon bridge before it got dark. This made Lu Bu extremely happy.

But there is one person who is not happy at all, and this person is Xu Shu. The uneasiness in Xu Shu's heart became even heavier at this moment.

As it was getting late, the army temporarily settled down by the river.

In the tent, the three generals Lu Bu, Zhang Jaw, Ma Chao and the military advisor Xu Shu were discussing the strategy of marching.

"After crossing the Yellow River tomorrow, the troops will be divided into two routes, one will go straight to Yanzhou, and the other will occupy Jiyin County, cutting off the only way for the main force of Cao's army to return to help." He pointed to the map spread on the ground and addressed the crowd.

Lu Bu and Ma Chao nodded, and then Lu Bu said, "That's it!" I led an army to attack Yanzhou, and two generals led an army to attack Jiyin County. "Lu Bu is really honest and unkind. However, Ma Chao and Zhang Jaw have no opinion on this.

Lu Bu looked up at Xu Shu, only to see that Xu Shu was still frowning and looking absent-minded.

"Xu Shu, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Xu Shu came back to his senses with a shock, "What?

Lu Bu touched his forehead in distress, and then said to Zhang Zhang: "Explain it again to the military advisor." Zhang

Jaw clenched his fists in agreement, and then said his suggestion again.

The three of them looked at Xu Shu and waited for his opinion. Because the strategy can only be implemented if it is approved by the military advisor.

Xu Shu nodded, "Junyi's plan is very good. However, I have another idea.

Xu Shu glanced at the three generals, and the three generals all looked at him.

Xu Shu fixed his gaze on Ma Chao's body, "Meng Qi, you lead five hundred elite horses across the river tonight, go to Pingqiu and Yanjin to reconnoitre, and rush back before dawn as much as possible."

Ma Chao set his eyes on Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Xu Shu and asked suspiciously, "Why is this?"

Xu Shu frowned again and shook his head slowly: "It's not good to say now!"

Lu Bu couldn't help but be short of breath. Seeing that Ma Chao was still waiting for his reply, he said, "Just do what the military advisor says."

Ma Chao clenched his fists and promised, and then left the tent.

"Fengxian, Junyi, you better rest early." Xu Shu said.

Lu Bu nodded, and just lay down on the marching couch in his clothes. Lü Bu was originally going to take off his armor when he was resting, but since he saw that Chen Chu was on the march, he never left his armor, so he changed this Xi.

Xu Shu and Zhang Jaw teamed up to make a handsome account.

At this time, Zhang Jaw asked, "Has the military advisor found any clues?"

Xu Shu nodded, "Everything can only be concluded after Meng Qi comes back." Ma

Chao led 500 elite cavalry out of the camp, crossed the Yellow River through a small pontoon bridge erected in the evening, and then turned west.

Five hundred horsemen galloped through the night, faintly like a group of ghosts.

At the same time, Chen Chu, who was far away in Chang'an, suddenly felt uneasy, got down from the couch, walked to the window, opened the window, looked up at the dark night sky, and frowned.

There was a sound behind him, Zhang Rui, who was wearing a robe, was barefoot, holding a cotton robe, and Yingying walked behind Chen Chu.

Chen Chu suddenly felt a warmth on his body, turned his head and saw Zhang Rui, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Rui threw herself into Chen Chu's arms and said softly, "Big brother, is there anything troublesome about you?"

Chen Chu shook his head and nodded again.

Xu Shu didn't sleep all night and kept waiting for news from Ma Chao.

It was getting dark.

Xu Shu came to Yuanmen and asked the Yuanmen general, "Hasn't General Ma Chao come back yet?" The

general replied, "Not yet."

Xu Shu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be a little worried. It is said that Ma Chao should have come back a long time ago.

Just as he was worried, a sentry in the verandah above the gate suddenly shouted, "Someone is coming this way!"

Xu Shu couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

"How many? What is the identity? The general asked urgently.

"About 200 people, unknown identities!"

"Close the camp gates and prepare for battle." The gate will give the order immediately.

The gates of the camp were immediately shut, and hundreds of crossbowmen were immediately deployed behind the wooden fence, and hundreds of pikemen and sword and shield men fought in the reserve of the crossbowmen. A soldier holds a horn in his hand, ready to blow it at any moment.

The general came to Xu Shu, hugged his fists and said, "Military advisor, are you leaving here temporarily?" "。 Yuan Men will be worried that Xu Shu will stay here in case there is a mistake.

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "It's okay." "。 He felt that the two hundred riders who came at this moment should be Ma Chao and them, but Ma Chao didn't bring five hundred elite riders?

"Yes." He will then return to his post.

A moment later, smoke billowed in front of me, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.

When the opponent was more than thirty paces away, the crossbowmen on the verandah released a ringing arrow, which was a warning.

The galloping knights immediately grabbed their horses, and many of them neighed and stood up.

At this time, a familiar figure came out and shouted: "I'm Ma Chao, open the camp door quickly!" The

general took a closer look and found that it was indeed General Ma Chao. Hurriedly ordered someone to open the camp gate. The guarded sergeants dispersed at the same time.

Ma Chao then led his elite cavalry into the camp. Xu Shu immediately greeted him.

"Strategist." Ma Chao turned over and hugged his fists.

Xu Shu helped Ma Chao up, looked at it a few times, and then looked at the military advisor behind Ma Chao, and found that everyone had blood stains on their bodies, and many of them were still injured. I couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Strategist, we..." Ma Chao looked anxious and immediately reported it.

Xu Shu interrupted Ma Chao, "Don't be busy first, follow me to the handsome tent first." Immediately,

Xu Shu and Ma Chao walked quickly towards the handsome tent. The more than 200 cavalry under Ma Chao returned to the camp separately.

When approaching the tent, Xu Shu gave an order to a guard, and then walked into the tent with Ma Chao. At this moment, Lu Bu just got up.

"Strategist, you're really early! Could it be that you've been out there all the time? "Lu Bu rarely made a joke. However, Xu Shu and Ma Chao did not laugh.

"General, Meng Qi has returned, let him tell me what he found." Xu Shu said to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao and found that Ma Chao had a lot of blood stains on his body. I couldn't help frowning slightly.

At this time, Zhang Jaw lifted the tent and walked in. "Strategist, General." Zhang Jaw saluted Xu Shu and Lu Bu respectively. found that Ma Chao had returned, and his eyes lit up. "General Ma Chao."

Ma Chao returned the salute with a fist, and then said: "I led five hundred elites to ride all the way west after riding across the Yellow River, and suddenly encountered a large Cao army near Pingqiu, led by a general who made a mace, very powerful, I fought with him for thirty rounds without a win.

Lu Bu touched his chin and said, "Make a mace!" This person should be Xiahoudun.

Ma Chao immediately kept this name in his heart, and then continued: "After I got rid of this Xiahou Dun, I continued to go west, but I didn't want to surprise a few Cao troops. We waited for the siege in the northwest of Pingqiu, and after the bloody battle, we broke out of the encirclement, but the five hundred elite cavalry we brought with us killed nearly three hundred people! In the end, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel heartache, some of these elite cavalry were the children he had cultivated, and some were the elite iron cavalry that Chen Chu personally handed over to him. The elite cavalry directly controlled by Ma Chao has a total of 3,000 people, and these cavalry are all elites who are not inferior to the Tiger Roar Battalion.

The three of them couldn't help but nodded, no wonder Ma Chao was stained with so much blood! It turned out that there was a bloody battle! Although Ma Chao said that the process was very simple, everyone knew in their hearts that the battle must have been fought very fiercely.

Xu Shu frowned slightly and asked, "How many people does Meng Qi estimate is the strength of the Cao army?"

Ma Chao thought for a moment and replied: "Twenty or thirty thousand!" The

three of them were all shocked. Jaw opened in disbelief and said, "How is this possible? The main force of Cao's army was dragged to Dingtao, and they still had so many troops sent to Pingqiu? What's more, even if the Cao army returned to help, why did he arrange the army in Pingqiu? "

Hmph, they want to eat us in one bite!" Xu Shu sneered.

The three generals were stunned for a moment, and Lu Bu smiled: "Just because those 30,000 people want to eat us, it's okay if I don't beat them up and eat them!"

Xu Shu shook his head, "Cao Jun is only afraid that all the main forces have been gathered.

"How is this possible? Cao **, don't you want to set the pottery? Jaw asked.

"Based on all the signs and what Meng Qi has discovered, I am almost certain that Cao Cao has led his main forces to set a trap against us, and as soon as we cross the Yellow River, they will swarm like wolves!"

"What about Yuan Shao? Cao Cao has to solve this problem first, right? I suspect that all this is Cao Cao's suspicious strategy! Jaw Zhang speculated. This speculation of Zhang Jaw is undoubtedly justified.

Xu Shu shook his head, he also didn't understand, as Zhang Jaw said, if Cao Cao didn't solve Yuan Shao's problem first, how could he get out and go north? Isn't that self-defeating?

Lu Bu touched his chin and said arrogantly, "Why do you have to guess so much!" Let's cross the Yellow River and attack Yanzhou according to the established plan!

"No! Now that the enemy's situation is unknown, how can we act rashly? Xu Shu immediately objected. However, Zhang Jaw and Ma Chao did not echo Xu Shu's words, they were obviously more inclined to Lu Bu's decision.

"Aren't you also sure of your judgment?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.
