Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 635 Xiliang's Attitude
The news that Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan's 800 troops in Hefei with only [-] men quickly spread throughout the entire Central Plains, even the farthest Xiliang was alarmed!

At this time, in the greenhouse in Liangzhou!

The majestic Ma Teng was sitting in the center. After hearing this report, he tapped his fingers on the table and looked around at everyone present with sharp eyes!

One of the generals had a face like a crown jade, eyes like shooting stars, a tiger body with ape arms, and a sturdy belly!
A long spear and a tiger-head gun on his back exude bursts of cold light, which makes people shudder and fear!
"Chaoer, what do you think?"

After Ma Teng notified the soldiers to retreat, he turned to ask him.

After hearing this, Ma Chao came out from the crowd, bowed to him respectfully and said:

"Father, my child thinks that Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan's 800 people with only 10 people this time, which is completely unreal?"

"Oh?"

Ma Teng raised his eyebrows and said:
"how do I say this?"

Ma Chao raised his eyebrows, showing some disdain and said:

"Although Jiangdong is full of rats, it is not so weak. Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan's 800 soldiers with only [-] men. There is no evidence at all. We just listen to the outside world and say that Zhang Liao is like a god of war. This is an increase. Others' arrogance destroys their prestige, what's more, half of the reason why Sun Quan went to attack Hefei was because he wanted to seize Jingzhou, so he made a sudden attack!"

"Since it was a feigned attack, how could he use his entire army to attack? Presumably Zhang Liao must have known this, and he just took advantage of the loophole to defeat him. As for whether he only used 800 men , not enough to believe!"

Hearing this, Ma Teng nodded again and again, with a look of appreciation in his eyes!
"My son is really wise and brave. He can see the situation so thoroughly from thousands of miles away. Not bad, haha, not bad!"

Ma Chao didn't show any joy or anger on his face, instead he said worriedly:
"Father, but even so, Cao's army was victorious, and Soochow was defeated. The next situation must be that Sun Quan and Liu Bei will continue to form an alliance, and Cao Cao will definitely recharge his troops and continue to stir up conflicts between them. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, as long as Jingzhou is occupied by Liu Bei, Sun Quan will not be reconciled for a day, Cao Cao can't not take advantage of this!"

Ma Teng nodded, his expression showing a bit of solemnity!
"You're right, Cao Cao can't just sit and wait like this, he will definitely stir up trouble, but... worrying about my father is another matter!"

"What's the matter?"

Ma Chao asked puzzledly.

Ma Teng thought for a while and said, "According to reports from Xuchang secret agents, Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao to send troops to aid Hefei this time. He really only gave him [-] soldiers. Ma, he still went resolutely, what does this mean?"

"Does it mean that behind Cao Cao, there are experts pointing out?"

Ma Chao continued.

Ma Teng nodded and said, "That's right, Chao'er, do you still remember Cao Su?"

Ma Chao was taken aback, "Cao Cao's younger brother?"

"Ok!"

Ma Teng responded, "I heard people say that this Cao Su and Cao Cao fell out a while ago, and they have completely broken up. Now their whereabouts are unknown. Do you know about this?"

Ma Chao nodded, "Of course I know it! At that time, the city was full of turmoil, and almost all the people in Xuchang City saw Cao Su off overnight. The scene was extremely grand, and it had already spread all over the country!"

Ma Teng couldn't deny it, "My father always thought that if the two of them had such a trouble, it must be a breakup between brothers, but Cao Cao's actions one after another made Wei father have to suspect that they only broke up on the surface, but in fact they are still supporting each other in secret!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao was shocked!
"Is this true?"

Ma Teng shook his head and said he didn't know, "Sun Quan's tricks this time, even as a father, feel amazing. If I were Cao Cao, there would be at least tens of thousands of people supporting Hefei, but he just sent Zhang Liao and 800 people. In the past, as a father, I don't think Zhang Liao can seize the gap in Sun Quan's line and completely defeat his [-] troops!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately understood what was going on!
"Father, what does he mean is that it was Cao Su who secretly advised Cao Cao that the miracle of this battle in Hefei happened just now?"

"pretty close!"

Ma Teng nodded, "If that's the case, then we...we really have to beware of Cao Cao!"

Hearing this, the seriousness in Ma Chao's eyes deepened, he lowered his head and murmured to himself:

"Once Cao Cao frees up his hands and feet, he will definitely turn his attention to Xichuan and Hanzhong. Even if Xichuan has Liu Zhang in charge, Cao Cao will definitely not act rashly. Then... it is Hanzhong!"

Ma Teng continued:
"Cao Cao wants to capture Hanzhong, and he will inevitably throw an olive branch to us. When the time comes, shall we help or not?"

"Never help!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Chao resolutely said:

"Father, Cao Cao's name is a Hanchen, but he is actually a Han thief. If we help him, wouldn't it be helping the evildoer?"

After hearing this, Ma Teng sighed softly, "Hey, Chaoer, how can you not know as a father? But Cao Cao is so powerful now, how can I compete? Against Cao Cao, we can only outsmart, not forcefully. !"

"What's more, the relationship between Cao Cao and Cao Su is complicated and confusing, and the situation has become extremely complicated. No one knows where Cao Su has gone. Therefore, it is better for us to stay still!"

Seeing his father's melancholy appearance, Ma Chao felt full of hatred in his heart!

He didn't have much cold towards Cao Cao at first, but now that the other party put the knife on his neck again, naturally he shouldn't be so sullen!
The two father and son were silent in the tent for a long time, and finally Ma Chao suddenly said:

"Father, how about we go to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and fight Cao Cao with him?"

Ma Teng was slightly taken aback, and then pondered for a while, "This is not a bad idea, but Zhang Lu's Hanzhong is suffering from severe drought this year, does he still have time to help us?"

But Ma Chao said firmly, "With lips and teeth cold, Zhang Lu will definitely help us. If he doesn't help, Cao Cao will destroy us, and Hanzhong will be the next one!"

Ma Teng thought for a while, "Let's put this plan on hold for now, let's see what Cao Cao will do next!"

Ma Chao nodded, "Alright!"

……

the other side!
Xuchang!

Cao Cao was bored looking at books at home, did he glance at the black diary?

It's been several days since he saw anything that interested him, and he felt like ants were crawling in his heart!
But Cao Su was helpless, so what else could he do if he couldn't wait?Is it possible to go to Hanzhong to steal chickens?
Wouldn't it be a joke for the prime minister to do such a thing?

Just when Cao Cao thought that today would be the same as usual, the diary suddenly lit up...
