    Liu Zhang and the officials in Yizhou were shocked when they heard that Cao Cao suddenly entered Chencang.  Although Sun Qian has said it just now, it must be just a guess!  Now that it has become a fact, how can we not be surprised?

    Sun Qian also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the stone hanging in his heart was put down.  When leaving Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang gave him a tips bag and told him to open it before Liu Zhang summoned him.

    And all of what I just said was actually told by Zhuge Liang.  Even though Sun Qian said it, he still felt uneasy in his heart.  Could it be that Cao Cao's target is really Xiliang Ma Teng?  Instead of them Hanzhong?  If Zhuge Liang guesses wrong, it may be difficult to succeed in forming an alliance with Yizhou.

    Now that it¡¯s fine, things will go much smoother later on.

    "Is Zhuge Liang really capable of unpredictable things?" Sun Qian thought to himself.

    "Does the King of Shu know that Cao Cao can simply send troops to attack Ma Teng? Why does he still use this strategy of attacking from the east to the west?" Sun Qian asked, his voice obviously full of confidence.

    "In your opinion, sir?" Cao Cao seemed to be superfluous, but he must have deep meaning, but Liu Zhang naturally didn't know the reason.

    "That's because Cao Cao is afraid of my lord!" Sun Qian said loudly.

    "Afraid of Liu Bei?" Fei Guan laughed, "It is true that Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought many battles, but they were defeated repeatedly. Is Cao Cao afraid of Liu Bei?"

    "In Xuzhou, my lord used 5,000 soldiers and horses to fight Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army. If Lu Bu hadn't interfered with it and Yuan Shu took advantage of it, Cao Cao would not have been able to win. And in Xinye, he defeated Xiahou Dun's 100,000-strong army with 20,000 soldiers.  , how could he have been defeated by Cao Cao if Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others had not surrendered Jingzhou to Cao Cao later. Now that Cao Cao wants to conquer Ma Teng, Xiliang, what he is most worried about is that my lord suddenly marches out of Xiegu, cutting off his retreat.  . Therefore, we adopt the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west!"

    After Sun Qian finished speaking, the hall of Prince Shu's Mansion became quiet. Everyone thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the truth.  Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao were defeated repeatedly in battles, they were defeated repeatedly and dared to attack the enemy with exhausted soldiers. From this point of view, they can be regarded as heroes.

    "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you and my lord are both members of the Han clan. Now that the Han Dynasty has retreated, traitors are in power, and ambitious people are standing in the court, it is even more important that we work together and form an alliance. If we can each do our own thing  Wouldn't it be a battle or a military confrontation that would be taken advantage of by Cao's thieves? Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world and make His Majesty sad! Hanzhong and Yizhou are close friends with each other. If Hanzhong is defeated by Cao's thieves, then Yizhou will not be safe.  ! I hope His Highness the King of Shu will think twice!"

    "Sir, what you said makes sense, but this matter is important. I will discuss it with all the ministers before we can make a decision. Please go back to the post and wait for the news!" Liu Zhang's attitude became much more amiable at this time.

    "Foreign ministers, please retire!" Sun Qian bowed again and left the hall.

    "What do you think?" Liu Zhang asked after Sun Qian left.

    "My lord, I think what Sun Qian said is right, we can form an alliance!" Huang Quan agreed to form an alliance.

    "My subordinates also think that we can form an alliance!" Zhang Song came forward, "Now Hanzhong is our barrier to Yizhou, and our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. Cao Cao is powerful in the north, and only by forming an alliance can we fight against Cao Cao!"

    In Zhang Song's mind, Yizhou is in Liu Zhang's hands rather than in Cao Cao's hands, and it will be much easier for Liu Cong to capture it in the future.

    "My subordinates agree!"

    "My subordinate seconded the proposal!"

    "Since all the ministers agree, we will form an alliance with Hanzhong. Wang Lei, Huang Quan, and Zhang Song will be responsible for the specific matters!"

    "No!"

    Outside Chencang City, Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army set up camp along both sides of the Wei River.

    The recent period has been a mixed blessing for Cao Cao.

    With his strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, all the princes in the south were led by his nose, which made Cao Cao very happy.

    Liu Cong in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong have already fought fiercely. Although Wei Yan has 20,000 troops at Yique Pass, Cao Cao does not need to worry at all, because Liu Cong does not dare to fight from the north and the south at the same time.

    Liu Bei in Hanzhong was already very nervous now. Although he just made a false shot and left Yicheng, it would still take some time for Liu Bei to get out of Xiegu.  During this period, as long as he defeated Ma Teng, Liu Bei would not dare to fish in troubled waters again.

    But there were also things that made Cao Cao unhappy. Xun Wenruo's death made him feel somewhat guilty.

    Xun Yu and Cao Cao were not only principal ministers, but also good friends.  They have the same ambition. For decades, Xun Yu has been advising Cao Cao, allowing Cao Cao to own this northern foundation.

    However, there were differences between the two on the issue of treating the Han Dynasty.  Cao Cao felt??Xun Yu has always been stubborn. Now, the big man is seriously ill. How can he help him?  Only by replacing the old and bringing forth the new can the world be saved.  The general trend of the world, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.  Xia Jie was unruly, Shang and Tang replaced him, Zhou lost his deer, and the whole world chased him away, Qin swept Liuhe, and Qin was destroyed by Chu, all this is unstoppable.

    Xun Yu was so foolish and loyal that the two of them drifted apart and became strangers to each other.

    Cao Cao somewhat blamed himself for Xun Yu's death.  After Xun Yu died, Xun You also fell ill.  Cao Cao suddenly felt empty in his heart.

    But this time the expedition against Xiliang Ma Teng was urgent.  God warned him with a dream that if he didn't do something, it would surely lead to bitter consequences and even bring disaster to the entire Cao family.

    While Cao Cao was thinking about it, Jia Xu and Liu Ye came to the king's tent.

    "Wen and Ziyang, how are Ma Teng's defenses going?" Cao Cao asked, "Can we attack Chencang City by force?"

    "My lord, Chencang City is built on the mountain. The city is tall and strong. Ma Teng has been prepared for it. On top of the city, there are mountains of defensive equipment. Twenty miles south of the city, Ma Chao led 5,000 soldiers and horses, backed by the Qinling Mountains, facing  The camp was set up on the Wei River and formed a horn with Chencang City. It would be very difficult to attack by force." Jia Xu said slowly.

    "Is it possible to advance troops along the Qinling Valley, bypass Chencang and cut off their retreat?" Cao Cao found that Chencang City was vulnerable and difficult to attack as soon as he arrived.

    "My lord, there are two ways to bypass Chencang to find surprise troops!" Liu Ye said.

    "Which two roads?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly.

    Liu Ye took out a map and drew on it with his hand.

    "The first one goes directly to Longxi County through Sanguan from here! The second one goes directly to Tianshui County through Jieting from here! No matter which place is taken, Ma Teng will be confused."

    "Who are the guards at these two places? How many troops are there?"

    "Lord, the ghost soldiers sent news that the Longxi County guards are Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu, with a total of ten thousand troops, but they are scattered in three cities. The Tianshui County guards are Jiang Juan, with only five thousand troops!" Jia Xu had already said  The situation has been clearly understood.

    "Ha" Cao Cao burst out laughing after hearing this, "God help me, Ma Teng will definitely lose!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
