Chapter 988
"Check it out! Check it out for me!" Ma Chao angrily tore up the report in his hand, tightly squeezed the Luo Qi sachet in his hand, his face was ashen, and he said to Brother Chou: "Half a year ago, I mixed into the Xuanming Palace and started to arrange it." , a new assassination plan made overnight... so carefully arranged, conspired, tell me why the person assassinated was not Yuan Shao but Gao Lan?! Moreover, the shadow stronghold lurking in Jizhou can be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

Ma Chao, who occupies a high position and is above power, has already been tempered to the cold and hard by thousands of conquests.Ordinarily, this failed assassination resulted in the loss of the shadow elite. For him, it should be just a strategic failure.What he has to do is to weigh the impact of this failure on the overall situation of the world and make up for it.

However, Duanmu Ruoyu is different. She was the hero in the initial formation of Shadow, and it is the memory that infiltrated Ma Chao's life.At the same time, Ma Chao is not a ruthless machine after all.He is affectionate and righteous, and in the midst of killing and sinking again and again, the bottom line he gave himself in the bottom of his heart is to deal with the enemy as cold as a severe winter, but treat those who care about him as warm and warm as a spring breeze.

If not, it would be hard for him to imagine whether he would become Xue Xiao's slave in the future, a demon who likes to set off a torrential rain of blood.That's why, after hearing the news that Duanmu Ruoyu died in vain, he lost control of his anger!
"My lord, we have thoroughly investigated this matter, and there is absolutely no shadow of betrayal. The only explanation is that Duanmu Ruoyu's identity has long been exposed, and it seems that those who are planning to plan are still deliberately waiting until this moment." Brother Ugly His face was also gloomy, and he replied in a low voice.

After hearing Brother Chou's explanation, Ma Chao tried his best to suppress the overwhelming anger in his heart. He clenched his fists twice, and then slowly sat back in his seat unwillingly. His eyes were calm and sullen, like a volcano that might erupt at any time. : "The Ma family's assassination of Yuan Shao had a strong political motive. If someone deliberately waited until this moment, it is obvious that it was to draw Yuan Shao's anger to the Ma family. This kind of conspiracy means, I have It's a feeling of deja vu..."

"My lord, you mean Cao Cao?..." The military discussion the day before yesterday gave Brother Chou a preliminary understanding of the political disputes. When Ma Chao said this, he reflexively thought of the profiteers.

"It won't be Cao Cao or his counselors. Only one person can use such a soft and hidden method." Ma Chao's heart has once again increased his murderous intentions for that person: the one who sits in the supreme position, but is single-minded. The poisonous snake that bites Ma Chao's heartache makes Ma Chao hate it!

But what's even more frightening is, how did that person pull off his wonderful assassination, destroying the opportunity for the Ma family to annex the Yuan family in one fell swoop?You know, if this is not a coincidence, then it can be pushed deeply. Liu Xie has already left a powerful chess piece by Yuan Shao's side.

And this is the scariest thing.

At this time, Xun You of the Ministry of War hurried into Ma Chao's account, without looking at Ma Chao's face, he said directly: "My lord, Yuan Shao assembled an army of 40 to condemn Cao Cao, and went straight to Guandu on the center line. "It's over. I have left Yecheng at this moment, and it is estimated that I will be able to rush to Guandu in six days!"

"It should be like this!" Ma Chao angrily smashed the desk with his palm, and said in a high voice, "Call the civil and military officials to discuss the matter. The Ma family and Yuan Shao have come to a decisive battle!"

When Xun You heard this, he saw Ma Chao's sullen and sullen face. After turning his eyes, he quietly left and told everyone to leave——Ma's assassination mission was newly defeated, and Yuan Shao was furious. How can a suspicious strategy escape Ma Chao's eyes?
But Brother Chou was still unwilling at this time, and took the opportunity to remonstrate: "Master, although Duanmu Ruoyu's line is broken, Mu Yuanfeng and Tang Xiaomi are still fighting Chiyingqi. Since Yuan Shao has already left the nest , do we need to take another assassination attempt, and continue with the bottom of the pot...drawing, drawing salary?"

"No need, from now on, there is no need to mention this kind of strategy again." Ma Chao waved his hand a little dejectedly, and said: "After this plan is exposed, there will be no chance to assassinate Yuan Shao in the future. I was wrong this time. , there is no shortcut."

After a while, the crowd arrived, but seeing Ma Chao's expression, they all stood with their hands down, not even daring to make a sound.But Ma Chao was really not in the mood to speak at the moment, and with a slight wave of his hand, he asked Xun You to tell the story of Yuan Shao's entry into the army.

After Xun You finished speaking, although all the generals hadn't fully figured out the connection between Yuan Shao's discussion of Cao and the Ma family, everyone's eyes shone brightly, showing the keenness and vigilance in their hearts.And Tian Feng was the first to come out at this time, and said: "Master, Yuan Shao has always liked to show off Confucian generals, and this time it seems to be attacking Cao Cao, but I believe that his sending troops this time must be plotting against the Ma family!"

After saying these words, all the generals took a deep breath. At this moment, they finally understood why Ma Chao was so solemn today.But Xun You wanted to make things more transparent, and said directly: "The Ministry of War has already received a report that the plan to assassinate Yuan Shao has failed. What Doctor Tian said is right in his words, Yuan Shao's sending troops this time is definitely for the Ma family."

Ma Chao glanced at Xun You lightly, calmed down his chest, and said slowly: "Yes, it's time for the Ma family and the Yuan family to have a showdown. Today, you are invited to discuss a military strategy. Defeat Yuan Shao!"

"My lord, for the current plan, we have to take some action. The first thing is to cross the Yellow River and capture Huai County in Hanoi. Resist Yuan Shao with the posture of central control and majesty." Xun You said again, it seems , When he summoned everyone, he already had a draft in his mind: "Yuan Shao made this suspicious strategy seem clever, but he was deceiving himself and others. If our army can capture Huai County before Yuan Shao's 40 troops arrive, we will have a geographical advantage. The morale is strong, and there is nothing to resist."

"Xun Shangshu's words are reasonable," Tian Feng and Xun You sang together at this time, and cooperated tacitly: "However, if you want to attack Huai County, you must first attack Yan Liang. The county has a total of 22 troops. It is impossible to sit back and watch Huai County be surrounded. .Even, I have speculated with many years of thinking that Yan Liang should have received Yuan Shao's marching order at this moment and stationed in Huai County."

"If Yuan Shao sincerely attacked the Ma family, then the center line would definitely be empty. Cao Cao stationed troops at Guandu, wouldn't he make a move?" Yang Fu also said at this time: "Although Cao Cao's soldiers have already moved towards Qingzhou and Xuzhou, the center line is empty. , how could it be impossible for him to let Yuan Shao's 40 troops show off their power here?"

"Otherwise, based on what I know about Duke Cao, if Duke Cao gets the news that Yuan Shao is aggressively attacking Guandu, not only will he not send troops to resist, but he will even transfer the main force of Guandu to the eastern front." Guo Jia shook his head, slightly frowned and said: "Grandpa Cao is brilliant and powerful, and ordinary people dare not do it. From this point of view, this time the Ma family has to deal with it independently."

"Hmph! Cao Cao has a good plan." Ma Chao sneered, with a rascal look on his lips: "He wants to fight Qingzhou and Xuzhou in peace, and really wants to take all the good things in the world. Don't forget , between Ma and Cao, there is still an alliance with each other. It will take at least one day for the Ma family's 40 troops to cross the Yellow River, and someone needs to contain the army of Yan Lianggong County. Today, I will ask Cao Cao to help with white labor. Otherwise, he will have forgotten who begged whom in the first place!"

"My lord, you won't want to..." Fazheng saw Ma Chao's expression, his expression became a little weird, and he asked.

"That's right. I just want to be a rascal. I sent someone to send a message to Cao Cao, telling him to make some noise in Guandu to contain Yan Liang's army. Otherwise, the Ma family will immediately withdraw from Hanoi and refuse to accept the tiger prison. Let's see how Cao Cao handles it." This mess!"

Since ancient times, those who are stubborn are afraid of being violent, and those who are violent are afraid of being desperate, and those who are desperate are most afraid of shameless people like Ma Chao.It is conceivable how exciting Cao Cao's expression would be after receiving Ma Chao's letter...
