Chapter 331 The Battle of Jizhou (VII) 2/4
Cao Cao, a generation of heroes!
It was just that due to the limitations of the times, even people like Cao Cao could not truly understand the importance of coastal defense. When Liu Chuang built a dock and built a sea boat in Xiami, Cao Cao was not unclear. But he did not take this matter in his heart, so he had never strengthened the construction of coastal defense. This also caused Cao Cao to have very weak control over the coastal areas.
Even though he has realized the importance of coastal defense, it is still a bit too late to make up for it.
After thinking for a long time, Xun Yu said, "Sikong doesn't have to worry too much about this navy army.
Haunting means harassing, especially in Qingzhou. Without strong support, they can only harass, but cannot affect the overall situation.
Sikong ordered Qingzhou to strengthen the guards, and at the same time moved the coastal people to the inland, strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, and minimized the losses caused by the Chuang'er's navy. The most urgent task is that Sikong should abide by the original plan and strengthen the offensive against Handan. Allow him to use thousands of methods to make it possible for Sikong to have only one goal, which is to capture Handan, eliminate Yuan Shang, and force Chuang'er to face the head-on battle..."
Obviously, Xun Yu trusted Cao Cao's power quite well.
In his opinion, although Liu Chuang was strong, if he really wanted to face the battle head-on, Cao Cao would still have the upper hand.
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao finally calmed down.
Yes, Liu Chuang's surprise attacks are just trying to delay time and restrain my strength? This means that Liu Chuang himself knows that it is not easy for him to win in a head-on battle. Since that's the case, why should I care about his small tricks?
If Yuan Shang is eliminated, even if Liu Chuang doesn't want to showdown, he will have no other choice...
"Wen Ruo said very much. I was indeed disturbed by Na Chuang'er just now.
However, it is urgent to eliminate Yuan Shang, but Yuan Tan must also give some support and hope. In this way, let Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Ziyuan lead their troops to station in Jiangshui to prevent Chuang'er from attacking Qinghe. Let Yuan Tan restrain Chuang'er for us. We should concentrate our efforts to intensify the attack on Handan. We must completely resolve the enemy of Handan before the New Year... At that time, Chuang'er will have to fight us."
Cao Cao was attacking with the main soldiers and ignored Liu Chuang's surprise soldiers.
Xun Yu nodded repeatedly and expressed his agreement.
Judging from the current situation, strengthening the offensive against Handan is indeed Cao Cao's best choice.
However, Xun Yu was still a little worried.
Liu Chuang has many capable people around him. Although his brother Xun Chen is not as famous as himself, if he says his abilities, he may not be inferior to himself.
With him assisting Liu Chuang, how could he watch Cao Cao eliminate Yuan Shang?
Xun Yu believed that Liu Chuang must have a second move... This guy could never just be a simple harassment, and I'm afraid there are even more powerful means that he has not used.
When Xun Yu thought of this, his heart couldn't help but feel sank.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to fight with Liu Chuang. The reason is very simple! Liu Chuang seems to be able to predict the future. Every time he takes action, he will hit Cao Cao's weakness. From the initial alliance to the final hostilities, Liu Chuang can always predict the future. This makes Xun Yu feel very uncomfortable, and at the same time casts Liu Chuang a veil of mystery, making it difficult for Xun Yu to see through...
But now, he must have a duel with Liu Chuang.
If Liu Chuang was not eliminated, the Han Dynasty's revival would be nothing more than empty words!
Brother, let me see if you have any other means you haven't used...

In October, there is snow in Liangzhou.
Since Ma Teng was killed, the Xiliang group of dragons were left without a leader, and chaos has followed.
Fortunately, Ma Chao had been recuperating in the Western Regions for three years and had already achieved the climate. Ma Teng was killed and Ma Tie died in battle. Ma Teng's second son Ma Xiu immediately sent people to the Western Regions to meet Ma Chao in Wuji School City. Chen Ming's interests were related and asked Ma Chao to lead his troops back to Wuwei.
Ma Teng's death was too sudden.
When Ma Chao learned that Ma Teng had died in battle, he couldn't help crying.
The relationship between father and son had become very bad ten years ago. Ma Teng looked down on Ma Chao, and Ma Chao didn't like Ma Teng either... Especially after Ma Chao's grandfather died in battle, the relationship between father and son became even weaker. If it weren't for this, how could Ma Teng think of sending Ma Chao to Xu Du as a hostage? However, later Ma Chao went to the Western Regions, and the conflict between the two weakened.
Ma Chao was unwilling to play for Ma Teng and would rather set up his own business.
In this way, the relationship between father and son is much more frequent than before.
No matter what, Ma Teng and Ma Chao are father and son after all.
Ma Teng was killed by Han Sui, which also made Ma Chao particularly angry.
After receiving the notice from Ma Xiu, Ma Chao immediately ordered 10,000 elite troops, took Ma Dai as the vanguard and returned to Wuwei from Wuji School City...
Xiliang Jin Ma Chao's reputation was not obtained out of thin air.
Ma Chao has a high status in Xiliang, and his body has Qiang blood flowing, so the Qiang people living in Xiliang also agree with him very much.
Jin Ma Chao joined the army with his father at the age of fifteen, and he was famous for killing him with one sword and one shot.
Therefore, when we learned that Ma Chao returned to Xiliang from the Western Regions, the originally turbulent Wuwei stabilized suddenly.
Han Sui also paid a considerable price to eliminate Ma Teng.
However, with the help of Zhong Yao and Wei Ji, Han Sui couldn't help but quickly recovered his vitality and received commendation from the court. He became a former general and Marquis of Jieting, and his momentum rose sharply.
After replenishing the troops, Han Sui followed Zhong Yao's instructions and led his troops westward and headed straight for Wuwei.
However, when Han Sui arrived at the Songyin River, he suddenly heard that Ma Chao led his troops back to Guzang. Han Sui was shocked and quickly ordered to stop moving westward.
"Why is the general holding his feet?"
Yang Fu, a great servant from Liangzhou who was advancing west with Han Sui, couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Han Sui smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that Ma Chao would return to Wuwei so soon.
Ma Teng died in battle. I thought his son Ma Xiu would stand up on his own, but he didn't expect that he would give up his independence and sent people to the Western Regions to welcome Ma Mengqi back."
"Is this Ma Chao very powerful?"
Yang Fu couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Yang Fu was from Ji, Hanyang County, and was quite talented and famous in Liangzhou.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Yang Fu's identity was already in charge, Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou, went to Xuchang to meet Cao Cao. Cao Cao was highly valued by Cao Cao and served as the chief of Anding. After Yang Fu returned from Xu Du, all the generals in Guanzhong asked him who would win between Yuan and Cao. At that time, Yang Fu said: Yuan Shao was generous but not decisive, he liked strategy but lacked decision-making. If he was not decisive, he would have no majesty; if he lacked decision-making, he would have misleading things.
Although he is very strong now, he will never be able to achieve great things in the end.
Cao Cao had great talents and ambitions, and had no hesitation in making decisions and responded without hesitation. His government orders were unified and his army was well-established, and all talents could do their best.
Yang Fu finally concluded that Cao Cao would definitely win.
The facts also proved his judgment, which made Yang Fu gain great reputation in Liangzhou.
But he was unwilling to take responsibility and engage in work, so he resigned from office and refused to do it. Wei Duan also loved Yang Fu's talent quite a lot, so he summoned him as a great servant.
However, although Yang Fu is familiar with the scenery of Liangzhou, he does not know much about Ma Chao.
Seeing Han Sui's face full of fear, Yang Fu couldn't help but be curious.
Han Sui smiled bitterly and said, "Ma Mengqi is Ma Teng's eldest son, he is invincible and has a great reputation in Xiliang.
If he had not been from a lowly family and had half of the Qiang people's blood, Ma Teng would not be happy. If he had followed Ma Teng, I would not dare to attack Ma Teng. This person has the courage of Fan Kuai Yingbu, so he cannot compete with him. Moreover, he is very famous among the Qiang people in Xiliang. If he attacks Wuwei now, he may not be an opponent. The most urgent task is to report to Mr. Yuan Chang and ask him to allocate reinforcements and gather heavy troops to succeed in one battle."
It can be seen that Han Sui is very afraid of Ma Chao.
But when he praised Ma Chao so much, he angered a general behind Yang Fu.
The general was named Wang Tong, who was a famous general in Liangzhou. He was a very respected person under Wei Duan. He was arrogant and arrogant.
"It's just a mixed Qiang family, why is General Han so afraid?
No matter how powerful Ma Chao is, he is just a child. Now that our Tianjun troops are approaching the Songyin River, how can we keep our feet from moving forward? I would like to ask the general to fight and go to the head of Ma Chao's neck."
Han Sui was under Wei Duan, but was not a close confidant.
But Wang Tong is different. He is a close confidant of Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou, so he also seems disrespectful in his words.
Han Sui narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Since General Wang has this heart, I am happy.
Then I asked General Wang to fight, and I should wait for the good news on the banks of the Songyin River."
Wang Tong showed disdain on his face, snorted coldly, and bowed and left.
Yang Fu also knew that Wang Tong looked down on Han Sui, but Yang Fu's methods of treating Han Sui were quite clear.
From a poor soldier to the current prefect of the country, how could Han Sui rise if he didn't have real skills? He praised Ma Chao so much, and he must have something extraordinary. So Yang Fu quickly sued Han Sui, turned around and hurried out of the tent to chase Wang Tong.
Looking at Yang Fu's back, Han Sui suddenly sneered.
He turned his head and said to Yan Xing, who was standing behind him: "The subordinates of Wei Duan, there are many such rebellious people who cannot achieve the climate."
However, if Ma Chao returns to Wuwei now, he will not let it go. Although Zhong Yuanchang is good to me, he is actually just a use... As for Wei Duan and others, he will not take me seriously, and he will not wish that I will be unlucky earlier. Now that Wang Tong is willing to die, we will wait and see. If Ma Chao wins, we will immediately withdraw our troops and return to Jincheng; if they want Ma Chao and I to lose both, how can I let them fulfill their wish? You immediately inform Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing and Ma play five people, and they should not act rashly."
Han Sui had eight generals.
However, when Ma Teng was in power, the candidates, Li Kan and Cheng Yi, died in battle, so that only five generals were left.
However, if you include Yan Xing, there are still six generals, and Han Sui's vitality is not damaged.
He is just like the name others call him, with a heart that is as bent as the Yellow River, and he has many plans. How could he be truly in love with Ma Chao?
If Ma Chao did not come back, Han Sui would be full of confidence.
He didn't care about Ma Xiu.
