Chapter 154 [Dispute]

(I didn't say it, thank you for the alliance! The glorious charter, the heart is gone, ufgw, cdfirefly.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In June of the first year of Xingping, the Central Plains had a severe drought, and there was no rain for several months. The land was barren, and many rivers and canals dried up, and the seedlings withered. Even Qing, Xu and Yu, which had abundant water, can be imagined. The areas involved in the drought were all over Yan, Xu, Qing, Yu, Liang, and even Sili, Guanzhong. The disaster of the two capitals was directly caused by the tragedy of the imperial court, because of the interruption of cooking and military disasters in Guanzhong, they had to embark on the most tragic escape from the East in history.

In Xuzhou in the first year of Xingping, neither Tao Qian nor Cao Cao had time to pay attention to the little emperor thousands of miles away, nor did he have time to pay attention to God's warning. You are dry and I will beat me, and that kind of hot energy is even hotter than the dog days of summer.

However, in just two months, Cao's army once again advanced the front line to the city of Shancheng, where the first Eastern Expedition was located, and the troops were at the city.

At this time, Tao Qian had no reinforcements, only a group of tourists: Liu Bei was stationed at the foot of Sangong Mountain more than ten miles east of Shancheng, threatening the flanks of Cao's army.

Perhaps learning from the lessons from last time, Cao's army attacked very fast this time, and even ignored casualties and launched several ants attacks. But in the end, because of the strong defense of the city in Shancheng, Liu Bei was pulling his legs from time to time and pretending to be "I'll hit you". Although he had never really attacked, the Cao army really missed the opportunity to attack the city several times. This made Cao Cao and his generals very angry, and decided to leave Yancheng first, concentrate their troops, and remove Liu Bei's thorn.

The last battle between Cao's army and Xuzhou was in full swing: the Battle of Shandong.

Cao's army was busy with the decisive battle, while Ma Han was busy with the retreat.

Due to the continuous rain, the drought became more and more intense, and the water level of the Sishui Riverbed dropped significantly. If it fell like this, the tower ships and the boats were stranded, so no one could go out to sea. After discussing with Zhao Yun, Ma Han decided to leave 150 White Wolf Cavalry, 300 Xia Pi Servants, and a small number of small boats. Zhao Yun led twenty White Wolf Cavalry and all the Tower Vessels and Boatmen back immediately. After returning to Guangling, he met with the Huaiyin fleet, followed Ganmei, Ma Qi and others, and went out to sea first. Sailed to the Quxian wharf to moor. At that time, Ma Han could lead a team from Pengcheng to the East China Sea, boarded the ship directly in Quxian, and returned to western Liaoning.

"According to the current situation, Cao's army will be in the process soon. It is estimated that when Zilong arrives in Qu County, it will be the day when I set off to meet." Ma Han said to Zhao Yun with a smile.

Zhao Yun was confused when he heard this. Didn’t the city guard say that it was against it? Cao’s army was in a hurry at the moment. He got the latest news yesterday. Cao Cao personally led the army to fight head-on, and attacked the cavalry with Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to defeat the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Cao Bao from Xuzhou Army. Beheaded more than a thousand and won the first victory in the Battle of Shandong. If he continues like this, it will probably take less than a month to make the city guards in danger. In such a great situation, how can they be in a row? Moreover, if he stayed, how could the city guards stayed alone and left a dangerous place. But his subordinates drew their anchor to sail?

Facing Zhao Yun's confused eyes and substitution requests, Ma Han smiled without saying a word.

Ma Han has been thinking about a question during this period: Why did Cao Cao succeed in the second battle against Xuzhou so smoothly and eventually returned in vain? He didn't know much about the history of the warlords in Xu and Yan during this period, but he must have known the end of the Battle of Xuzhou - Cao Cao retreated in disgrace, Tao Qian passed away, and Liu Bei's fisherman benefited. A drama about "Three Gives to Xuzhou" was also compiled in the Romance. No matter how unfamiliar with the story of the Three Kingdoms, he knew it.

When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the second time, why did he repeat the scene of the first sad ending when the result of the battle was better than the first time? There must be a key question here.

Ma Han thought hard for a long time but couldn't understand it. Until one day, he accidentally heard a few Xia Pi soldiers discussing the gate tower in Lu County, saying that the gate tower in Xia Pi was nearly half a foot higher than Lu County, and the building was painted white, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Bailou? Baimen Tower? Xiapi Baimen Tower!

At this moment, Ma Han was enlightened and suddenly understood. He actually forgot a heavyweight figure - Lu Bu!

That's right, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou will change hands repeatedly in the hands of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Lu Bu. It can be said that the Central Plains region in the early Three Kingdoms was basically the stage for these three heroes.

In such a mess, isn’t it the best time for Lu Bu to appear?

Haha, Cao Cao, are you ready? God of War Lu Bu, here!

After thinking through the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, Ma Han also thought that this was probably the most vulnerable moment of Cao Cao, the Three Kingdoms. What a good opportunity. Can you take advantage of his illness to kill him? Ma Han knew very well who his ultimate opponent was. God gave him an opportunity in front of him. Should you cherish it? Should you? Should you?

Yes! Ma Han clenched his iron fist, and his eyes were burning and hot.

If God does not take the gift, he will suffer the consequences and do it!

In this way, Ma Han ordered Zhao Yun to leave first and left his own decision to wait for him - he was the only one who could seize the opportunity.

When will Lu Bu appear? Ma Han doesn't know when he stabs Cao Cao from behind, but he is sure that it's almost done. So he must hurry up and prepare.

However, as the saying goes, a man counts a tiger, and a tiger counts a human being. There are more than Ma Han who can calculate in this world.

...

At noon, the sun was scorching, and the guard post of the Wubi was no longer able to stand the heat that could be dried up, so he hid in the sentry tower and refused to come out. Anyway, this was not the county town, but the largest dock wall south of Lu County. There was nothing else in it except for a part of the stored grain and guarding family that had not been transported away. After Cao's army seized Pengcheng and sent troops to occupy Lu County north of Sishui, he had never taken any action on the Mi family dock wall across the river.

The guards and their relatives of Mi family's dock walls all knew that this was because there was a infantry and cavalry stationed in the five dock walls along the river. The leader of this army was the Ma Han, known as the "Liaodong Tianju". It was because of the power of this man, and the two sides had a tacit understanding, so that they could have a situation of peace and stability.

Several guards in the whistle were shirtless, lotus leaves on their heads, and chatted while lifting the water from the basin to their bodies to cool down.

"Tsk tsk, this is a drought...that seedlings can cause fire."

"Oh! The harvest this year is definitely bad. I heard from Wang Weng, who is in charge of farming, that even if it rains immediately tomorrow, the yield will be reduced by 50% or 60%. If the drought continues, there is a possibility that there will be no harvest in the particles."

"It seems that many people are going to sell their children and girls..."

"Don't worry about that, we are lucky. Mi family's granary is the best in Xuzhou. Even if it's three years or two years old, there will be a lot of rice, so you don't need to sell your daughter."

At this time, two brown clothes appeared in front of the gate of the sentry tower, which were wet with sweat and black, but still neatly and energetic patrols, with their backs on their backs and holding spears, staring at the guards in the house coldly. One of them said lightly: "This Lumi is not that easy to take. If you treat the sentry tower as a bathhouse, I think you will sell your children soon."

On a hot day, several Mi guards actually had white hair sweat on their foreheads. They repeatedly apologized and asked for magnanimity, and dared not to offend them again.

The two patrol guards glanced up and down with needle-like eyes and glanced at the guards who were tall and tall, but were as shocked as quails, and smiled contemptuously: "If you look like you on the grassland, you're afraid that you'll be covered with arrows, and you still don't know where the arrows were shot."

Looking at the whistle guards leaving, several Mi guards looked at each other. One of the rude men spat: "What are the Northerners blowing in our Central Plains? No matter how strong you ride and shoot, don't you have to come here by boat? On the water, men won't hate you."

The other man also shouted angrily: "That's right, this barbecue day. Who will come out to cause trouble? I'm so poor all day long... I'm leaving my words here. If there is a situation with the enemy today, I'd like to wear my whole body neatly and dry an incense stick on the top of the hill..."

Before he finished speaking, a rapid sound of horse hooves approached from a distance, and a ride was suddenly in sight. The two white wolf fierce cavalry guards who had not yet walked away immediately separated: one rushed to the police drum on the top floor of the whistle tower; the other quickly picked the bow and took the arrow, and pointed the string at it to the ride.

The half-naked guards in the mail tower were busy dressing. The one who had just sweared, seemed to have farted all the things they had just said, and all the accomplices didn't care to make fun of him. If something really happened, it would be a disaster of losing their jobs. Don't really respond to what others said, and sell their children and girls...

After a while, the cavalry came to the moat and immediately rushed to the moat under the suspension bridge and shouted: "I am the guardian team of the Xihewu Biding Group, leading Huang Li, Cao's army attacked Cang! Cao's army attacked Cang!"

With this sharp shout, the calm situation that lasted for more than a month was finally broken.

Twenty miles west of the Xihewu wall, there was a 50-man Xia Pi minions' military defense team arranged by Ma Han. The team's officer was Huang Li. At this moment, the Xia Pi army leader's face was red, sweating profusely, his military uniform was torn, and his body was covered in scars, and he was kneeling in front of Ma Han and Zuo Yuan, shocked, angrily and angrily and angrily.

"At the same time today, a group of fleeing people came to the wall wall and asked to enter and avoid it for a while. Yan Tong, the head of the wall wall, felt pity and ordered the door to be opened..."

"Wait!" Ma Wen heard something wrong and frowned. "Whether it was the rules set by Wubi in the past or the strict orders issued by this commander later, there were regulations that the door was not allowed to open without authorization to accept unidentified persons. Why did you knowingly commit it?"

Huang Li wiped his sweat a little—this time it was not hot, but scared, and murmured: "It was Yan Tong's idea..."

Ma Han looked at Huang Li coldly: "No matter who your idea is, you are the deputy defender of the assistant defense, and you must bear the responsibility. However, now is not the time to hold the responsibility, but if you hide anything, don't blame me for killing you for the crime of escaping in the battle!"

"Yes, yes." Huang Li sweated like a waterfall, but he didn't dare to wipe it. He said tremblingly, "Yan Tong did ask about Beiyi, and Beiyi agreed."

"Why!" This time it was Zuo Yuan who held his anger and roared fiercely.

Huang Li lowered his head and said, "There are many women inside..."

Ma Han sneered: "Of course, 'they' are not women, but Cao Jun is dressed up. Right?"

Huang Li squeezed out a flattering smile: "The commander saw Wanli clearly..."

Ma Han sneered and interrupted: "Wanli? Why don't you say you see Twenty Li, well! Hehe, it seems that you are not an ordinary person to come up with such a beautiful plan!"

Zuo Yuan said angrily: "Cao thief really has no faith and righteousness. Since he agreed with the commander, he would not violate each other, nor would he destroy food. Now he has gone back on his word..."

Ma Wen waved his hand, and was not excited at all: "Zuo Sima thought it was a bit out of mind. First, the Cao army had an agreement with me was Shi Huan, but it did not mean that other generals thought the same; second, Cao army only said that they would not destroy food, but did not say that they would not rob food, nor did they say that they would not attack the Wubi. On the contrary, the drought was so serious that if they did not plan early, the military rations would be short. Cao army was expected to take action. I had already ordered the White Wolf Cavity to closely monitor Lu County and Pengcheng, but I didn't expect that Cao army would use the trick of fish-meshing beads to hide it. Well, this Cao army general is not extraordinary."

"I don't care who he is. I've killed all the brothers of a certain family, and I can't spare him!" Zuo Yuan was furious and drew his sword and slashed in the void.

Huang Li also slapped his chest and said excitedly: "There are not many Cao troops killed this day, only a hundred people. If it weren't for a sneak attack, they wouldn't have wanted to attack the dock wall. At present, they are still plundering and transporting grain in Xihe. If we send troops to counterattack quickly, we will definitely defeat the enemy and avenge the dead brothers! Duwei, Sima, give me one hundred brothers, I will take the lead in killing me!"

Zuo Yuan asked Ma Han for advice with his eyes, but was obviously moved by Huang Li. Sima was not worth enough, with only 300 people, one less, and one died, but now he has been killed in one go, which is a serious injury to his vitality. If he let it go and the other brothers know it, he will be afraid that his prestige will be ruined. At that time, let alone Sima, even the military marquis will not be able to be regarded as a military marquis.

Ma Han pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You want to avenge your brothers. If I don't stop me, I will send troops to help..."

What Zuo Yuan wanted was Ma Han's words. Without Ma Han's support, he would not dare to stroke Cao's army's tiger beard without Ma Han's support. He immediately grew up and bowed to Ma Han, and turned around and waved to Huang Li: "Let's go, call up brothers!"

Ma Han only said half of the sentence, and there was a "But..." behind him before he could say it. Unexpectedly, Zuo Yuan was so anxious that he ran away without listening to all the words. Well, he was afraid that Cao Jun would run away.
