Ma Yunlu's straightforwardness and Zhao Yun's persistence made Gao Chong hesitate. In addition, in Gao Chong's heart, a concept of hope to break the confrontation between Gao Cao and the north and south was vaguely arose.

Under such circumstances, Gao Chong hurriedly summoned Zhou Yu, Xu Shu and other advisers to discuss countermeasures together.

"Pengshuai, in Yu's opinion, Zilong not only wants to go, but also should bring more people to go with him!" Seeing Gao Chong hesitating, Zhou Yu, who was staring at the map in front of the curtain after entering the door, suddenly spoke in a shocking voice.

Gao Chong turned his inquiring eyes to Zhou Yu. He knew that Zhou Yu was not only resourceful, but also had a broad mind and strategic vision that others did not have. If he had not considered it carefully, he would not have rashly advised Gao Chong.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu coughed lightly, shook his feather fan, and said loudly: "Yu thought that the relationship between Han and Ma battle was far more than the belonging of Liangzhou, but the trend of the whole world. According to Guigu's military strategy, the art of fighting far and near attacks, the places that are now connected with our army are the Central Plains in the north and Bashu in the west. The occupiers of these two places have met us in war. Liu Zhang will not talk about Cao Cao and Liu Bei for now. Among the provinces and counties far away, the stronger princes include Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang from Hebei, Gongsun Du from Liaodong and Han Suima Teng from Xiliang. Among these people, although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were the most powerful, after Cao Cao strategic retreat, Yuan Shao's two sons only focused on fighting for high positions, but did not know that they were in danger and reopened each other. In these two years, they would have been annexed by Cao Cao, and Gongsun Du lived in Liao.

The east is weak, and the road from Jiangdong to Liaodong Guanshan is far away. At present, this person does not pose any threat to Cao Cao. On the contrary, although Liangzhou is more than hundreds of miles away from me, and there are blockages of Hanzhong Qinling Mountains in the middle, and the traffic is not easy, but here is indeed a chess-strength battle for the overall situation. The Western Liang army is fierce and the army is magnificent. In the past, Dong Zhongying rode the east and pointed the princes of Guandong. If Liangzhou is completely occupied by Cao Cao's power, the situation that swept the north will be unstoppable. At that time, the balance of confrontation between the north and the south will be broken. Therefore, the top priority now must judge the situation and try to get a relationship with Liangzhou. If the Ma family can help defeat Han Sui, Liangzhou can become an ally of Jiangdong. When the decisive battle with Cao Cao in the future, he will be the leader of the army to attack the Central Plains in the north, and then invite the Liangzhou army to attack Cao Cao's retreat sideways. This will be achieved!"

Zhou Yu talked with emotion, which moved all the listeners present, and even Xu Shu, who had always been quiet and quiet, showed excitement. In fact, in Gao Chong's heart, when he heard about the Ma clan in Longxi, he also had a little bit of attention. Liangzhou, among the thirteen states in the world, was in the westernmost place, and it was also the outpost for the Han Wutun border to resist the attack of the Huns cavalry in the past. In the years of chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the elite troops stationed in Liangzhou guarding the border were also unwilling to be lonely. The fierceness of the Xiliang soldiers and the pedantic literati made Dong Zhuo easily gain the power to command the princes. The laughing stock of the eighteen princes in Guandong who ended the attack on Dong Zhuo has become particularly funny. Therefore, to compete for the Central Plains, Xiliang is a help that cannot be ignored.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Kui and Guo Si resumed wars, which eventually led to the white bones everywhere in Jingzhao, and the people competed to flee.

As a result of these incidents, the cavalry of Xiliang was like a nightmare for the princes in the Central Plains.

At the same time, if Zhao Yun goes alone, he will naturally be charged with leaving his post without permission. If he receives Gao Chong's order and takes his troops to carry out an extremely dangerous task, no one will say anything. In this way, he will not only strengthen Ma Yunlu's confidence, but also have the opportunity to enable a group of soldiers from the Wind Camp to learn superb riding skills.

The combat effectiveness of the troops that have not been baptized in actual combat is unavailable. For the future decisive battle, Gao Chong needs a strong brigade with practical experience to carry out a large-scale roundabout interlude task. At this point, neither the Qifeng Camp nor the Yanbei Cavalry can meet this requirement.

Thinking of this, Gao Chong was overjoyed and praised: "President Jing's strange strategy is not much inferior to Zhang Liangzhi's secret plan to cross Chen Cang in the past!"

After Zhou Yu's verbal analysis, Gao Chong's ideas became clearer. Outside the southern battlefield, the idea of ​​opening up a second battlefield emerged from the bottom of his heart. According to Gao Chong's usual style, no matter whether he can succeed this time, he always had to try it. If he gave up without it, he was not his temperament.

Zhou Yu raised his sword eyebrows, and a hint of lust appeared in his eyes. He laughed and said confidently: "A commander cannot be called an excellent commander without a strategic vision. I can see it, and I believe that the coach must have seen it." After that, Zhou Yu looked directly at Gao Chong, and the two of them had their eyes intertwined, and their hearts were immediately connected. The pleasure at this moment was self-evident.

"This time Zilong went to Liangzhou. Although he was actually a public official, his own private matters. If he only had to take the troops of the Qifeng Camp, it would still cause controversy. It would be better for the Pamperor to issue an order to establish a military officer as an assistant. This will not only discuss matters, but also play a role in suppressing the army." Xu Shu advised. After becoming the head of the intelligence officer of the two prefectures of Jingyang, Xu Shu said three words without leaving the business.

Gao Chong nodded and said, "This candidate for military personnel really needs some thought. If you don't have real talent, you will only lose a big deal when you arrive in Liangzhou."

Xu Shu continued: "Shu recommends one person and can take on this responsibility."

Gao Chong asked, "I don't know who the military advisor recommended?"

Xu Shu said loudly: "This man is from Duling, Jingzhao. His surname is Du, his name is Ji, and his courtesy name is Bohou. At the age of twenty, he was once the county Gongcao, the magistrate of the county magistrate of Zheng, and was moved to the Hanzhong Prefecture Chief. During the rebellion of Li Guo, he abandoned his official position and lived in Jingzhou. When Shu was young, he talked to him and knew that he had Xiao He and the ability of Kou Xun."

After Xu Shu used his sword to kill the evil people in the village, he traveled and fled in the world. This made him meet many strange people. After Gao Chong pacified Jingxiang, Xu Shu, as a military advisor and Pang Tongyi, made great efforts to recommend talents to Gao Chong.

"Why didn't the military advisor recommend this talent soon?" Gao Chong asked disbelief. The move to Liang was of great importance. If Xu Shu had not been in charge of Ye Xiao, spy, public security, intelligence and other matters, Gao Chong would almost blurt out and let Xu Shu go.

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "Du Bohou is a righteous person. If he invites him with ordinary civil affairs, he will definitely refuse him at once. Therefore, I have never recommended him to the coach. On the contrary, if he uses a difficult and dangerous request to Liangzhou, he will definitely agree with him."

"I really want to see someone who can get such praise from the military advisor!" Gao Chong laughed at this. Xu Shu's words made him very happy. He knew that Xu Shu was a valiant person. If he had not been confident enough, Xu Shu would not have promised others.

On October 29, the sixth year of Jian'an, Zhao Yun, Du Ji and Ma Yunlu led more than 200 strong soldiers from the Qifeng Camp to disguise themselves as merchants who were selling on the road and headed to Liangzhou through Hanzhong. Du Ji was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was weak and seemed to be unable to resist the wind, but he spoke in words. After learning that Gao Chong extended his power to Liangzhou, he sang loudly and agreed to the important task of becoming an official in the office and serving as a staff officer in the Qifeng Camp. These more than 200 soldiers will also be the first batch of personnel sent by Gao Chong. Once Zhao Yun and Du Ji have gained a firm foothold, the second and third batches of personnel will also go there continuously.

However, for Zhao Yun and Du Ji, the most difficult thing is whether they can gain a foothold in Liangzhou. With Ma Yunlu's introduction, it does not mean that Ma Teng's forces agree to accept it. In this chaotic world where hands are turned into clouds and hands are turned into rain, a woman's future and destiny cannot be decided by herself.

November in Liangzhou is already a scene of heavy snow. On the seventh day of the lunar month, the dawn light first appears.

In Beiyuan City, west of Tianshui County, there is an equally broken flag on the broken wall. I carefully identified the handwriting on the cloth strip, and I could vaguely see the word "horse".

Although Beiyuan's geographical location is very important, it is just a small city. General Ma Teng, the West Expedition, has now retreated to Jicheng, which is the capital of Tianshui County. Therefore, the general guarding here is not General Ma Teng, the West Expedition, but his son, Ma Chao.

Outside Beiyuan City, the continuous camp tents were like mushrooms growing on the snow, one by one, and surrounded the small town.

From early October to now, Ma Chao has been trapped in Beiyuan City for nearly a month. The 2,000 soldiers who retreated to the city are still breathing, and there are only less than 700 people left. The lonely army is trapped, with no food or grass inside and no reinforcements outside. No matter how brave Ma Chao is, he cannot kill more than 10,000 troops who retreated from the city. Yan Xing is Han Sui's son-in-law. This man has good martial arts skills and a gloomy and thoughtful personality, so he is deeply loved by Han Sui. This time, he raised his troops to attack Ma Teng, and Yan Xing defeated Ma Teng's army repeatedly as a vanguard general.

"Squeak, squeak!" The snow on the city wall was squeaking by the guards. Although the guards with thin armor tightened their necks one by one, no one dared to sleep lazy.

"Yan Xing, please be proud. When Grandpa Ma's reinforcements arrive, I will peel you off!" At the head of the city tower, a young man in brocade clothes with a handsome appearance and a mighty body was drinking wine while shouting loudly. He was Ma Chao.

Suddenly, a shrill neighing of a horse broke through the silence before dawn. Ma Chao suddenly stood up, threw the bottle on the ground, shouting: "My boys, hurry up and prepare a horse and carry a gun with me to pick up my brother Dai!"

After the war between Han and Ma, Ma Teng, which was not prepared, retreated one after another. Beiyuan was the gateway for Longxi County to enter Tianshui County. Ma Chao had been ordered to hold on here for almost half a month. Facing the siege of Yan Xing's 10,000 elite soldiers, Ma Chao's troops had suffered more than half of their casualties. For this reason, five days ago, Ma Chao asked his clan's brother Ma Dai to break through the siege and seek help from Jicheng. Now, it is time for Ma Dai to return.

The city gate opened creakingly, and a cavalry rushed out. Ma Chao took the lead in opening the way, with his brocade clothes tied with his crown, his long spear fingers, and his men and horses galloped and rolled up a strong sharp wind.

"The horse thief rushed out, go and report to the general!" The soldiers of Yan Xingjun changed their faces one by one, and they shouted in a hurry. Everyone knows the reputation of "Jin Ma Chao" in Xiliang. Among the younger generals, except for Yan Xing who can still fight with him, the rest can only go under Ma Chao's gun for ten rounds.

When approaching the enemy camp, Ma Chao, who was rushing to the front of the team, whistled, clamped the horse's belly and accelerated forward. The horse soared into the air under this rush. "Swoosh-Swoosh, Swoosh" When the arrows shot by the soldiers in the camp arrived, Ma Chao had already stepped past the camp. The one-man-high fence could not play any precautionary role at all. The sword and shield hands standing in front of the archers had retreated one after another before Ma Chao arrived, as if they had already had fear.

In the battle formation, Ma Dai was muddy and was fighting hard. He had several wounds on his body, and his men and horses were stained with blood. Fortunately, they were all stabbed to the vital points. However, as time went by, the encircled enemy soldiers were gathering more and more, and the possibility of breaking through the enemy camp was gradually decreasing. Just when he felt desperate, the sound of horse hooves like rolling thunder sounded from his ears.

Ma Dai's heart was beating wildly and he couldn't help but shout, "Brother, is it you?"

"Jinzhi, with me here, let's see who can do anything to you!" From a distance, a generous laugh could only be heard, and Ma Dai was so familiar with this laugh.

Jinzhi is Ma Dai's name, and only the eldest brother Ma Chao can call him so affectionately.

The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. When it reached more than ten steps, Ma Chao shouted wildly, and the silver spear poked out, and the spiral danced spear flowers knocked several crossbow arrows that were shooting closer and flew out.

"Let's go!" In the blink of an eye, Ma Chao broke into the encirclement.

Ma Dai was overjoyed and was about to pull out his horse and follow him out. With a glance at him, he suddenly saw an enemy general approaching Ma Chao with a spear.

"Brother, be careful!" Ma Dai shouted anxiously.

When Ma Chao heard the sound, he turned around, but saw an iron spear pricking his chest like a poisonous snake spitting a letter. It was too late to dodge. In desperation, Ma Chao groaned and barely turned his head.

With a "por" sound, the spear pierced the armor, and the sharp blade immediately pierced the ribs.

"Yan Xing——!" Ma Chao shouted loudly, quickly abandoned the spear that could only sprint for a long distance with his right hand, clamped the iron spear with his left hand, and then twisted it hard, breaking the spear that was cut by the hard wood.

The enemy general who plotted against Ma Chao was Yan Xing, who was known as the two masters of Xiliang, as well as Ma Chao. When he saw the spear break, Yan Xing was shocked at first, and then immediately reacted, holding the spear breaking spear, stabbed Ma Chao's neck hard.

At this time, Ma Chao, who was severely injured under the scepter, had used all his strength. Yan Xing's broken spear was so close that he did not give him a chance to dodge. Fortunately, Ma Dai looked at it carefully. He roared angrily and took Yan Xing's waist with a knife. Although this sword could not directly rescue Ma Chao, it could make Yan Xing's head and face differently.

If Yan Xing continues to assault Ma Chao, it will be a loss-win situation. Yan Xing, who has a deep mind in business, will naturally not do it. Anyway, Ma Chao has been surrounded, and it will be a matter of time before he dies in battle. There is no need to take his life.
