Chapter 572 Cao Cao leads troops into Xuzhou
After Ma Chao read his mother's handwritten letter, he had to admit that he was really "poor to parents in the world".
His mother was almost the same as when she advised him not to seek revenge on Han Sui's father, so she persuaded him a little. But she didn't say that she didn't let him avenge his friends at all, but she said that there was no time now. Of course, Ma Chao didn't think his mother knew these things, so he had never heard his mother say these things. So it can be imagined that it must be what Guo Jia said. Ma Chao could see that his mother was concerned about him and was afraid that he would be in danger. After all, Yuan Benchu was not an ordinary opponent.
Ma Chao knew that when his mother knew about it, he had to worry. After all, his father died in the battlefield. So if he didn't tell his mother, he would not say anything to his mother, and he also told his family, and those who knew the situation, don't talk nonsense.
But this time, Guo Jia went to Longxi with his back and asked his mother to write a letter to persuade him. Fortunately, he did not take his mother to Longxian, otherwise he might not have to be told what his mother would be like.
Seeing that his husband had finished reading the letter, Mi Zhen suddenly hugged Ma Chao and said, "Brother Meng Qi, don't go, okay?"
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't stand his wife talking to him like this. After Ma Chao put down the letter, he touched Mi Zhen's face with his hand and said, "Zhen'er, Uncle Zhi has been with me for more than ten years. Now that he is dead in Bingzhou, your husband wants to avenge him!"
When Mi Zhen heard this, he said, "Brother Meng Qi, of course, you have to avenge your revenge, but now you don't want to do this for the time being, okay?"
When Ma Chao heard this, he said, "Did that boy Guo Fengxiao teach you how to say this?"
After hearing Ma Chao's words, Mi Zhen shook her head, "No. Mr. Fengxiao just said a few words to his mother, but he didn't say anything to me."
Ma Chao didn't say anything. After more than ten minutes, he said, "Okay, Zhen'er, my husband promised you that you won't enter Bingzhou for the time being, will you do this?"
After hearing his husband's promise, Mi Zhen smiled, "Brother Meng Qi, I knew you would agree!"
Ma Chaoxin said, how could he not agree? First, his teacher came to the provincial and ministers' mansion in person, and now his mother is writing letters in person, and you are here in person. If he does not agree, his mother may also come to Longxian tomorrow or the next day.
Mi Zhen said in Ma Chao's ear: "Since Brother Meng Qi can agree, I will definitely spend a few more days with you."
Mi Zhen's voice was very small, but he could hear it clearly in Ma Chao's ears. He naturally knew the specific meaning of his wife's words. Ma Chao pinched Mi Zhen's Qiong's nose and said, "Don't regret it then?"
Mi Zhen said coquettishly: "Brother Meng Qi, you hate it!"
Ma Chao hugged Mi Zhen and laughed. It can be imagined that Mi Zhen is already a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
-----------------------------------------------------
When Guo Jia went to ask Jia Xu for advice, Jia Xu actually asked Guo Jia specifically, "I don't know if Fengxiao thinks. What Feng Feng is the most powerful today?"
When Guo Jia heard this, what is the most powerful thing? Why did Wen and brother suddenly ask this question, why?
However, no matter what Jia Xu thought, it did not prevent Guo Jia from answering. He thought for a moment and then said to Jia Xu: "I heard that there is a strong wind on the sea, which is not something we can compare with here. I wonder if what Wen and brother said is such a strong wind?"
When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled and shook his head. He naturally knew the strong wind on the sea, but he didn't mean this.
I heard Jia Xu say, "No, the most powerful wind in the world is the 'pillow wind'. I wonder if I agree with filial piety?"
When Guo Jia heard this, he paused and then laughed. So Jia Xu also made a rare joke, "It seems that Fengxiao has a deep understanding!"
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed. Anyway, everything was gone. They were all men, so they should actually be said to be difficult.
So after that, Guo Jia understood what Jia Xu meant, and Jia Xu said before that, no matter what, the mistress must be invited to Longxian. Guo Jia agreed deeply, and then Jia Xu understood it very well, "Although the mistress came from a merchant family, she was polite, polite, and had opinions. Her knowledge was beyond the reach of ordinary women. She was a strange woman in the world! If she tried to persuade her lord, she would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort, and she would definitely be sure to achieve it!"
This was the original words Jia Xu said to Guo Jia at the beginning, and Guo Jia deeply agreed after hearing this. He understood that the three people who could persuade his lord, the lord's teacher, the lord's mother and the lord's wife. If you want to say who the lord's lord's most listen to, it would definitely be the lord's wife, that is, his lord's mistress. Although Jia Xu didn't say that clearly, he could understand what he meant. How could Guo Jia not understand?
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao finally did not move his troops to Bingzhou, and he was really persuaded. It was indeed not easy, and it was not in vain that Guo Jia and the others had been busy for so long, and they ran to Longxi for this matter.
Of course, he continued to do major things that had not been completed, that is, to move the capital. Just when Cao Cao and his friends were still in trouble by the drought and locust plagues under their control, Ma Chao had already moved the capital to Chang'an, where the Sili Jingzhao Yin was. Then he handed over the reconstruction of Chang'an to his subordinates, namely Du Ji, Guo Jia and others. Now Du Ji is Jingzhao Yin, so this matter naturally has to be handed over to him to preside over.
Ma Chao moved the capital to Chang'an, and all the princes of the world knew the news. They understood that now Ma Mengqi is also ready to compete with the heroes of the world to compete with the Central Plains. After all, in such an important place in the Central Plains, Ma Mengqi moved the capital to Sili, which is a signal, which is to enter the Central Plains. The princes of Guandong are all guarding against Ma Chao. Now they all regard Ma Chao as a beast. A tiger that is still half asleep may not necessarily hurt people at any time.
So they had to be alert to Ma Chao in Sili. If they were not careful, they might not have been obsessed with others' thoughts at any time.
-----------------------------------------------------
In the second year of Jian'an, in fact, in general, in addition to the most unlucky Yuan Shu, most of the world have gained a lot of benefits. Whether it was Cao Cao or Sun Ce, Liu Bei, while he was still working under Cao Cao, waiting for the opportunity.
The two overlords in the north, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, looked at each other and were all in peace, and the two armies were resting and recuperating all the time. But everyone knows that this is a bigger war. After all, "Where can't let others snore on the side of the bed?" In fact, both of them have long been dying.
Yuan Shao was full of energy. In the second year of Jian'an, he had just seized Shangdang County, destroyed Zhang Yang, and intimidated Gongsun Zan. His purpose was to achieve it. Now his strength is still stronger than his Gongsun Bogui, and he, Gongsun Bogui, is definitely not his opponent.
As for Lu Bu, he was the one who did not get any benefits. Because except for Xu Du who gave him an official position, he did not get any substantial benefits.
Originally, he was preparing to marry Yuan Shu, but Chen Gui stopped him. He only reacted at that time. Later, he was attacked by Yuan Shu. Although he was absolutely victorious, he did not get any benefits, and it also caused some damage to Xuzhou's strength. The subsequent drought and locust plague. Although Xuzhou was not so serious, it also affected it.
Liu Biao in Jingzhou is still his "housekeeper dog". Except when Yuan Shu was elected as emperor, after he condemned him, there was nothing else. If he didn't even condemn him, many people in the world would probably forget that he was Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng. In fact, Liu Biao, the "housekeeper dog", is indeed a person who has no sense of existence in the world. When people mention him, they always say "housekeeper dog", and nothing else is gone.
As for Ma Chao in the end, he was of course quite quiet. Apart from the time he wanted to lead troops into Bingzhou, he moved his capital to Chang'an, and there was no big move for the rest. However, Chang'an has always been in a mess, so he was investing money, grain and materials to ask his subordinates to build Chang'an City and restore Chang'an. Of course, this could not be completed overnight, but a protracted war.
-----------------------------------------------------
In the third year of Jian'an, in September 198 AD, Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack Xuzhou, and he wanted to fulfill his wish that he had never achieved.
The first attack on Xuzhou was a waste of food and grass, but in the end he had to retreat. Cao Cao withdrew thousands of troops, and he looked at Tan County and sighed. Of course, for him, he knew that he would definitely come back soon.
The next year, when the troops entered Xuzhou, Cao Cao made up his mind to take Xuzhou, but it still "didn't go as expected." This time it was not because of the lack of food and grass, but because Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, who fled from Chang'an to Yanzhou, took the opportunity to attack Yanzhou. Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat again and return to Yanzhou to fight Lu Bu.
Now this is the third time that we have led our troops to Xuzhou. This time, there is no problem of insufficient food and grass, and there is no threat from Lu Bu. Cao Cao issued a military order to all the soldiers. If he can't take Xuzhou this time, no one will go back. Because he can't afford to lose that person, let the people of the world look at themselves and the Yanzhou army.
Therefore, the Yanzhou army went from Cao Cao to soldiers, from top to bottom, whether it was generals or ordinary soldiers, and they all had to take Xuzhou. There was a meaning of not giving up if they didn't take Xuzhou. Cao Cao looked at his Yanzhou soldiers and felt very satisfied. If this was the case, why worry about not being able to take Xuzhou and not being able to defeat him, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.
Lu Fengxian is good, but no matter how powerful he is, he is an enemy of ten thousand people and is still alone. But there are so many tens of thousands of soldiers on his side, can he still be defeated by him, Lu Fengxian? Cao Cao can be said to be very confident in his side. Lu Bu Lu Fengxian is a stepping stone for his side to fight the world and move towards success.
For Cao Cao, there were not many powerful princes in total today. So the more you went back, the stronger princes and superb opponents they had to face. And he, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian and Xuzhou, was actually such a target that he had to try his best, so Lu Bu was destined to fail, and his side was destined to succeed.
-----------------------------------------------------
In fact, for Cao Cao today, the one who can attack at this time is quite threatening. The one who recommends Lu Bu Lu Fengxian from Xuzhou.
It is said that both Ma Chao, Yuan Shao, or Zhang Xiu are actually threatening Cao Cao. However, Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao went to conquer again in March. As a result, with the help of Liu Biao's reinforcements, and he was worried that Xu might be attacked by Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao finally had no choice but to retreat.
