The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 172 Going North to Attack Hedong ([-]-character chapter)

For a person with Duan Yao's status, as a vassal and a tyrant, what is the most important thing?
It's not money, it's not beauty, it's not enjoyment, it's face!Face is the most important thing for them.

Losing face is worse than killing them.

Just imagine a local leader, with a large group of second- and fifth-year-old boys behind him, wandering around and holding their stinky feet every day, saying the same thing on his own three-thirds of an acre of land, how prestige is that?Awesome?
But now, in front of a crowd of outsiders, he was humiliated by Ma Chao pointing his nose, not to mention Duan Yan, but anyone with a bit of blood would be unbearable.

Clay figurines still have a three-point earthy nature, especially Duan Yan, who is not a good stubble master.

"The surname is Ma! How dare An insult me? It's too much! Take back the words!"

Hearing Ma Chao's ridicule, Duan Yan was furious, got up and pulled out the sword at his waist with a "clang", like a raging lion, just waiting for a little spark, he would pounce on Ma Chao and tear him to pieces , Chop into meat paste.

Following Duan Yan's eruption, the entire commander-in-chief fell silent, and all the princes were silent, each with their own thoughts, silently watching the furious Duan Yan and the mocking Ma Chao.

But seeing the gazes of the two colliding anxiously in the air, a series of electric motors that cannot be seen by the naked eye were produced, which seemed to be crackling.

If a person's eyes could breathe fire, I'm afraid that the entire big tent will be turned into ashes because of the two people's eyes.

Duan Yan turned his face, but Ma Chao was still proud, did not move, just looked at him with a sarcasm on his face, and said slowly: "Yue Xianghou really has a big temper, but I don't know if it's really a bit awkward? Just now If you say it, Chao has already said it, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back. How do you think about solving this matter? Just draw the line, and I, Ma Chao, will follow!"

Seeing Ma Chao's unbearable appearance, Duan Yan became even more furious. He pointed his sword towards the outside of the tent and said angrily, "Ma, one-on-one! Do you dare?"

Hearing this, Ma Chao's face suddenly changed. He looked at Duan Yao for a long time in disbelief, and murmured, "One-on-one? You want to one-on-one with me?"

Duan Yan nodded heavily and said, "Not bad!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Ma Chao came back to his senses, couldn't help laughing up to the sky, first pointed at Duan Yao arrogantly, then turned his head and said to Pang De: "One-on-one? He actually wants to one-on-one with me? Ling Ming, do you think this is funny? "

Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Pang De couldn't help heaving a long sigh.

As the eldest son of the lord, Ma Chao's ability is of course needless to say. Although his reputation in Middle-earth is not obvious for the time being, Pang De believes that with Ma Chao's heroism and ability, looking at the world, except for Fei Fei who has died. As for Lu Bu, almost no one in the world will be his opponent.

Duan Yan, an ignorant person, if he really gets his hands on it, he will probably be beaten to death by Ma Chao in less than three rounds.
It's just that the nature of this young master Ma is a bit heroic. Not only is he arrogant and arrogant by nature, but he also regards the heroes of the world as nothing, especially for the dozens of princes in Guanzhong. The insult, I'm afraid it wasn't just a momentary act.

With such a temperament, it is still shocking to treat the Qiang people who respect the strong, but it is best to treat the intriguing, cunning and scheming Chinese people. Alas, sooner or later they will suffer big losses!
Thinking of this, Pang De first bowed his hands in apology to Duan Yan, who was full of resentment not far away and wanted to swallow Ma Chao, and then persuaded Ma Chao in a low voice: "My lord, I still remember that when the lord sent you, I told you Did you say anything? In this coalition, the princes from all walks of life are equal in status, and they are the horns of each other. If they are united, they will be invincible, and if they are divided, they will be separated by others. My son, as a queen of Fubo, you should be kind and courteous to others. If you speak nonsense out of your temper, there will be trouble."

Zhong Yao, who was on the throne, also reacted vigorously, and he also got up and became a peacemaker. First, he said to Duan Yan: "Yuexianghou, we are allies now, why bother because of a word or two? Since he started to fight, wouldn't it make the high-ranking officials of Bingzhou and others see the joke? It is really not advisable! Besides, General Ma was just joking, just saying a few jokes at will. The Marquis of Yuexiang and Marquis Huaili belong to the same generation Why should you be angry with the younger generation? But you have lost your identity."

When Duan Yan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Although he didn't answer, the long sword in his hand fell slowly after all.

Zhong Yao took advantage of the heat to strike the iron, turned his head and smiled at Ma Chao: "Your Majesty just came in, but the old man didn't realize it for a while. I don't know that Major General Ma once accompanied Huailihou to destroy Sushiwu and made great military exploits." , the young hero who is honored by the Qiang people as General Shenweitian?"

Hearing Zhong Yao's words, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel complacent, and rarely put away his arrogance, cupped his hands at Zhong Yao, and said, "Of course!"

"Oh! No wonder you're so domineering and mighty!" Zhong Yao acted as if suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, saying, "I'm not very serious, just now I didn't recognize the hero of the hero, and my negligent words made General Ma displeased, and I hope the general will not blame him yes."

The so-called people who reach out and don't hit smiling faces, Zhong Yao gave Ma Chao face in this way, no matter how arrogant Ma Chao is, no matter how fierce his temper is, he can't be too presumptuous. To guard the lord, in terms of status and title, Ma Chao, a young boy, cannot compare.

"Zhong Pu said this, I'm so ashamed."

After Ma Chao died, Pang De couldn't help feeling secretly, Zhong Yao really became stronger as an old man, and with just a few words, he beat both Ma Chao and Duan Yan straight away, no wonder he was so angry in Guanzhong In a chaotic place, people can gain a foothold in the leader's place and command the princes. They really have some skills!

Zhong Yao persuaded Ma Chao and Duan Yan, and then arranged for everyone to sit down and discuss the strategy of advancing Hedong.

At that time, the land of Hedong had always been at the junction of Bingzhou and Guanzhong. It had never been under the jurisdiction of Hebei, but since Yuan Shang became the lord of Hebei, he tried to recuperate and prepare his military affairs. Extending the power of the border outwards, so that the high-ranking officials secretly dispatched Guo Yuan to lead the army without the court's order, and he was appointed as the governor of Hedong. In terms of behavior alone, it belongs to the An act of rebellion.

But in this era, what the princes do and do every day, which one is not an act of rebellion?It depends on whether you want to find fault or not. If you want to find fault, everyone will have to be splashed with buckets of dog feces. It is clean without people.

Now, Zhong Yao led more than ten princes to the north, and it was because of Yuan Shang's private appointment as the governor of Hedong that he wanted to throw two spoonfuls of manure on him.

"Everyone, who is willing to be the vanguard in the campaign against Hedong this time? To test the strength of the other army?"

Hearing Zhong Yao's question, everyone looks at me and I look at you, but no one is willing to take this risk and take this risk.

Although everyone is not a monkey spirit, they are not fools. After all, the opponent is still the strongest prince in the world. Even if it is a joint military alliance, it is too late.

As everyone knows, when the two sides are evenly matched, the person who fires the cannon is often the one with the worst bruised nose and swollen face.

Ma Chao sat on Zhong Yao's right hand, glanced coldly at the hesitant princes, smiled disdainfully, and said, "It's just a group of rats, how dare you call yourself a prince?"

"What do you mean?" Prince Li Kan turned his head and glared at Ma Chao, his face full of resentment.

"It's nothing interesting." Ma Chao didn't even look at Li Kan, and cupped his hands and said, "Zhong Pushe, Ma Chao is not talented, and he is willing to be the vanguard in the front, helping the public to conquer Hedong, and you and I will work together to capture high-ranking officials alive and wipe out Bingzhou. But yes! As for the other gangsters who only know how to behave in the nest and are useless, we should dismiss them quickly and send them home, so as not to make them look like a woman here and be annoying."

"Ma'er dare!" All the princes were furious.

But Li Kandang got up first, cupped his hands at Zhong Yao and said: "Zhong Pushe, I am not talented. I am willing to be the vanguard in the front, attack the land east of the river, and share the worries of the emperor. I hope Zhong Pushe will agree!"

After Li Kan's death, the candidate stood up and said, "I would like to go with General Li!"

Duan Yan had just confronted Ma Chao, and they were on the verge of falling out. Now, seeing Ma Chao's arrogant words, he secretly thought that if he was really allowed to win the vanguard position in the front line and made great achievements, would this place in the middle of the pass have a place of its own in the future?Feel free to get up, and said: "Duan Yao also wants to go together."

Seeing Duan Yan standing up, Ma Chao couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said tauntingly, "Yo, I can't tell, the Marquis of Yuexiang is still a hero, but I don't take advantage of your looks."

"you"

"Okay, okay!" Zhong Yao tried to dissuade him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he cast a helpless glance at Ma Chao, and said, "Since it's Li, Hou, the three generals of Duan want to make contributions to the country, and I don't want to embarrass everyone. No, the three of you will be the vanguard, leading the troops first, and the old man and the rest of the princes will lead the majority, and then arrive, what do you think?"

"promise!"

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they took over the position of the front vanguard in desperation, and they did not forget to give Ma Chao a demonstrative look when they were done.

Ma Chao didn't care, he turned his head to Zhong Yao and said to Zhong Yao, "Looking at this tent, there seems to be no one from Jincheng Han Sui's army. I don't know if he will come to help when he goes north this time?"

Zhong Yao lived in Guanzhong for a long time, and he knew all the grievances between the horse and the Han family deeply. He said with a smile: "General Han is in Jincheng, and the journey is far away. I'm afraid he can't come by himself, but I heard that he has sent his general Yan Xing The soldiers have come to help, but they haven't arrived yet, so I might as well go ahead and meet up with General Yan later, it's not too late."

Accompanied by Zhong Yao's words, Ma Chao's face became a little dignified for the first time, and he clenched his fists secretly, a name in his heart resounded unconsciously, almost affecting his arrogant mind.

"Yan Xing!"

*********************
The northward direction of the Guanzhong roads has been set, and on the Jizhou side, Yuan Shang is also leading a group of troops under his command to rush towards Bingzhou.

In order to ensure that Jizhou can fight against Cao Cao in a solid and powerful manner, Yuan Shang went to reinforce Bingzhou this time, and only led three thousand Wuji battalions, three hundred white horse volunteers, and one thousand first boarded the battalion, a total of 300 people, and the generals were equipped with Zhao Yun, Lu Lingqi, Guo Huai, Wang Shuang, and Zhang Yan will be the assistants, and the rest will include Sima Yi, Jushou, Gao Lan, Shenpei, Xun Chen, Tian Feng, Zhang Jai and all the old forces in Hebei, including the surrendered Black Mountain Army. All were thrown in Jizhou and Qingzhou to fight against Cao Cao, and he wrote to invite Yuan Xi from Youzhou as reinforcements to go to Yecheng to preside over the overall situation.

After all, the Guanzhong army can find ways to win by chance, but it is absolutely impossible to stop Cao Cao without real strong forces. One day and one place, the two sides are completely incomparable.

When the soldiers and horses reached the western border of Jizhou, Gao Gan had already dispatched scouts to convey the news to Yuan Shang, saying that Zhongyou used the princes of the three routes as his front, intending to attack Hedong first, so he sent someone to ask for instructions on what to do. Abandon or defend?If it is to defend, how to reinforce it.

After Yuan Shang heard the news, he pondered for a long time and told the scouts that the land of Hedong was the front line of Bingzhou, and he was determined not to abandon it. As for reinforcements, he only needed to send Hao Zhao there alone.

At that time, Hao Zhao had been sent to Bingzhou by Yuan Shang as the senior officer's deputy.

After the scouts left, Lu Lingqi, who had been by Yuan Shang's side all the time, couldn't help being curious, and then asked: "Hao Zhao has only been in office for a short time and is young, how can he stop the opponent's three-way princes from the front? Your move It’s a little overstated.”

As for Hao Zhao's ability to defend the city, Yuan Shang only had some knowledge of his superiority as a traverser, but he was really not sure about his specific ability.

But real gold is not afraid of fire. After all, it is not a problem to keep this person hidden all the time. At the critical moment, you have to take it out to take care of the overall situation.

This can be said to be a test for Hao Zhao by Yuan Shangyi from the county of Hedong, but why not a test for himself?
"Hao Zhao is a man who doesn't say a word, has a resolute personality, and is calm and unwilling to admit defeat. This can be seen when he and Wang Shuang are singled out. Imagine if it were you who went up and let Wang Shuang beat the floor all over the place. Looking for teeth, even my old mother dare not recognize her, can you still stand up and continue to be beaten with a strong perseverance?"

Lu Lingqi frowned, and said: "I listened to you, why doesn't it describe a person with perseverance, but rather a lowly one?"

Yuan Shang laughed and said, "Don't you understand? Being humble is also a kind of talent. You see, Cao Cao, known as a humble hero in troubled times, was victorious in all battles when he only had one county, and he defeated several princes in the world. What is the reason? , because all the princes in the world are not as cheap as him."

Lu Lingqi was stunned when she heard the words, and said, "Compared with you, Cao Cao, who of you two is a little bit cheaper?"

Yuan Shang's face twitched, he got himself involved.

After coughing lightly, Yuan Shang changed the subject again, saying: "Don't talk about me, you have been training the Wuji Battalion recently, how is your combat power? Among the opponents this time, I heard that there seems to be some Ma Chao, the eldest son under Ma Teng's knees, might also include the brave Xiliang iron cavalry, so we must guard against it."

Lu Lingqi shrugged her shoulders indifferently when she heard the words, and said: "It's hard to say, the two soldiers and horses have their own advantages, and they don't know if they don't compare. The soldiers come and cover them up."

Yuan Shang did not force her when he heard the words, and said: "Don't be afraid of him! Taking advantage of this battle, I will find a way to incorporate Baima Yicong into the Wuji Battalion. At that time, the Wuji cavalry will have sword attacks and long shots, and their tactics will complement each other. The combat power will definitely increase greatly, and the Xiliang iron cavalry will no longer be our opponent. Besides, we have the finale of the crossbowmen who boarded the camp first, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to lose!"

Lu Lingqi didn't respond when she heard the words, but turned her head and glanced at Zhao Yun who was not far away, and said: "You'd better not be so optimistic, if you want to include Bai Ma Yicong in the Wuji Camp, you need to ask about that first." position to do it.”

Yuan Shang turned his head to look at Zhao Yun who was not far away, rolled his eyes, then turned his horse's head, came to Zhao Yun's side, and walked alongside him.

"Brother Zilong, have you eaten yet?" Yuan Shang asked with a smile on Zhao Yun's face.

Zhao Yun trembled when he heard the words, turned his head to look at Yuan Shang vigilantly, and said, "What do you want to do? Eat? I don't have any extra dry food here."

Yuan Shang didn't take it seriously, and said: "How is the food recently? Are you and your brothers satisfied?"

Zhao Yun turned his head and sighed: "General Baba, there is no battle to fight, no sheep to eat, and the vegetables are not hard enough."

"How about coming to Wuji Camp? I will cook a small stove for you every day, it's very nourishing."

Zhao Yun was taken aback when he heard the words, then showed a dazed expression, and said with a smile: "What did I say, why did you suddenly care about our lives so kindly? It turned out to be for this calculation, why? Want to make up our white horses?" Into your Wuji camp?"

Yuan Shang nodded quickly: "That's right! Brother Zilong is really a dragon and a phoenix among people. He is very smart, and you can guess it right away. Talking to you is not tiring!"

Zhao Yun let out a long sigh, and said: "It's true, the Wuji Camp is good at running, and the white horses are good at shooting. The two phases are combined to complement each other's strengths. After a long period of training, they can become proficient and tacit understanding, and they can support each other in battle. In this world, there is still Is there any cavalry that is our opponent? I have to admit that this idea of ​​yours is indeed a good idea!"

Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "You think so too?"

Zhao Yun nodded: "Heroes see the same thing! I, Zhao Yun, have ridden horses all my life, how can I not know the subtleties?"

"Since that's the case, after we arrive in Bingzhou, we will immediately implement the joint venture strategy and train a team of the best riders in the world as soon as possible! How about it?"

Zhao Yun's longing smile froze immediately, and then he put on a cold face, saying: "Heroes see the same thing, but it doesn't mean they have to do it! The White Horse Camp is the last thing left by the Gongsun family. You want to join forces haha , go dreaming!"

"Others, let's discuss it later. After the joint venture, the food can be improved. The food is very hard! Just eat!"

"Asshole, think I'm a foodie? Get lost!"

****************
But it is said that the Guanzhong side takes Hou Xuan, Li Kan and Duan Yao as the forwards, and they come straight to the east of the river.

After hearing the news, Guo Yuan, the prefect of Hedong, couldn't help but feel very anxious. He immediately sent people to Jinyang, Bingzhou, to ask for help from the senior officials, and at the same time, he prepared his army for war, intending to defend the city.

Guo Yuan used to be Yuan Shang's personal general. During the Battle of Guandu, he helped Yuan Shang rush to Wuchao, and assisted him in shooting Cao Jun's general Xu Chu's ass. trust!
After Yuan Shang returned to Jizhou, he sent him to Bingzhou in order to hone his skills so that he could lead one side alone and fight as his humerus general in the future.

Suppressing Hedong this time according to the orders of high-level cadres was Guo Yuan's first big publicity. Gu, and with three people as his arms, he firmly controlled Hedong County under his own hands, which can be regarded as having two brushes.

Don't want to have fun for a few days, Zhong Yao in Guanzhong gathered more than ten princes to come to conquer, how could Guo Yuan not be angry and helpless.

The two sides confronted each other and fought each other for life and death. These are the duties of the generals. Even if Guo Yuan died because of this, he would not complain, but there is a major knot in his heart that cannot be understood by outsiders. It hangs in Guo Yuan's heart, like a sharp knife, making his heart shed tears and blood all the time.

Because Guo Yuan is Zhong Yao's nephew!

The battlefield is ruthless, and now his uncle and himself are on the opposite side, how can Guo Yuan not feel sad?
Accompanied by the complex emotions of this dilemma, Guo Yuan welcomed the reinforcements sent for him by high-level cadres, which were [-] defenders led by Hao Zhao.

Although the two had heard about each other, it was the first time they met. After meeting, they had to be polite and humble to each other.

After seeing the ceremony, Hao Zhao went straight in and asked Guo Yuan directly: "Mr. Guo, this time Zhong Yao and other princes in Guanzhong have come to suppress Hedong. I don't know how the governor intends to resist? I hope you can give me your advice."

Although Hao Zhao is young, his status is rather special. He is a general in Bingzhou personally appointed by Yuan Shang. Guo Yuan did not dare to underestimate him too much. I want to lead my troops out of the city, take advantage of the fact that the enemy's foothold is not stable, first cross the river and attack them, in order to dampen their morale first, and then return to the army to defend the city, I wonder what General Hao thinks?"

Hao Zhaowen touched his chin and thought for a while and said, "Although this method is in line with the art of war, it is not the best strategy. I heard that the lord in Jizhou personally led an army to reinforce it. I might as well stick to it with all my strength and not let it go." The enemy army crossed the border of the pond for half a step, waiting for the reinforcements from the lord and Gaobingzhou to arrive, and then make a good plan, what do you think of Guojun Guard?"

Guo Yuan shook his head upon hearing this, and disagreed very much.

"I am the lord's former general, and you were also recommended by the lord to come to Bingzhou. It can be said that you are deeply supported by the lord. Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, you don't want to make progress, but just stick to it. How can you be worthy of the lord's kind cultivation? General Hao only needs to guard the city, and I will lead the troops myself. Go to kill for a while, and return naturally when you are successful, so don't give any further advice."

Seeing that Guo Yuan couldn't be persuaded, Hao Zhao didn't say anything more, but said: "Since the general insists on asking, I should assign one of my soldiers and horses as backup. If the general wins, I will not move; if the general fails, I will take care of myself How about drawing troops to respond?"

Guo Yuan didn't want to do such a troublesome thing, but Hao Zhao was sent by a high-ranking official to assist him after all, so he couldn't take too much face, so he nodded in agreement.

*******************
There was movement on Guo Yuan's side, but he didn't know that Duan Yao, Li Kan, and Ma Wan, the three vanguard officers of the United Army, had also received a letter of advice from Zhong Yao.

The content of the letter is not much, only a few short lines describe its meaning.

"Guo Yuan is my nephew. His character is quite reckless, headstrong and aggressive, and he is the governor of Hedong County for the first time. He must be eager to make contributions. The three generals are the vanguard. He will cross the river underestimating the enemy. The three generals can do it on their own."

After the three generals got Zhong Yao's letter, they naturally didn't dare to take it too seriously. After discussing it carefully, they immediately set up an ambush
That night, at the narrow mouth of the Yellow River in the south of Hedong County, Guo Yuan led a group of soldiers, riding Xiao Zhou, and under the moonlight, they began to sneak towards the south bank.

A thunderbolt streaked across the sky, and the silver lightning seemed to tear the sky apart, followed by rumbling thunder, echoing in the air, one after another.The bean-sized raindrops poured down, turning into a rain curtain connecting the sky and the earth in an instant.

The atmosphere was dull and chilling.

The thick fog gradually rose, and the visibility on the river was getting lower and lower. While directing the crowd to cross the river, Guo Yuan secretly sighed that God would bless the heavy fog to help him succeed, and his confidence could not help but double.

Time passed bit by bit, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

The dense fog that could not be seen with hands gradually thickened, and a row of faint lights appeared on the opposite side of the river bank in the distance, which was the front camp of the Guanzhong United Army.

Seeing the river bank getting closer and closer, Guo Yuan and the Yuan Jun behind him became more and more nervous. In such a bad weather, I am afraid that no one in the enemy army is willing to stay outside except the patrol soldiers, and they all stay at ease. Rest and sleep in the camp.

So, wouldn't you just let yourself be slaughtered?

"Quick! Hurry up and get the boat to the shore!"

While Guo Yuan was excited, he suddenly heard the sound of boats piercing the water in the distance, and it was coming from all directions. Although the sound was small, it was unusually refreshing.

Did you hear it wrong?

Among Yuan Jun, a soldier at the head raised his eyebrows and looked forward, only to see a shadow of a boat appearing five feet away. Before he could yell, he was shot in the head by an arrow from the front of the boat.

"kill!"

Accompanied by the first sharp arrow being shot, the Guan Zhong Army ambushing at the reed marsh suddenly shouted in unison, and the voice shook the sky.Pieces of arrow rain hit our side from all directions, and Yuan Jun who followed Guo Yuan fell into the water one after another, causing countless injuries.

Guo Yuan's heart tightened suddenly, and he understood the situation in front of him!
After all, he underestimated Zhong Yao!He underestimated his uncle!
"Ambush in the middle! Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"

The heavy fog and heavy rain that I thought would be beneficial to my own side have now become a disadvantage to my retreat. There are screams and screams all around, and the obstacle of thick fog makes it impossible for Guo Yuan to see clearly how many people are on the other side and how the battle is going. ?The only thing I could see was that one by one soldiers fell into the water under the enemy's arrow rain, and the wailing and screams rang through my ears.

But at this moment, he didn't care too much, Guo Yuan organized the boat and headed back to the north bank, while standing on the bow of the boat, waving the weapon in his hand to block the arrows.

Seeing that he was about to reach the north shore, the enemy army chasing after him suddenly shot an arrow in Guo Yuan's chest. The severe pain was accompanied by the cold rain that invaded his internal organs, and he almost fainted from the pain.

The enemy army behind was chasing closer and closer, and suddenly there was a sound of shouting and killing from the south bank, but seeing Hao Zhao leading a group of crossbowmen, they raised their heads and shot long shots, "suddenly" at the pursuing enemy army, alleviating the pressure. Overcoming the enemy's offensive, Guo Yuan and his group got a chance to breathe, and proudly sailed to the shore quickly.

"General Hao, save me!" Guo Yuan clutched his chest and yelled at Hao Zhao who was not far away.

Hao Zhao didn't say much, he ordered Guo Yuan to be helped off the boat and mounted on his horse, and at the same time he personally led the soldiers and horses to break the rear, and fought and retreated.

Duan Yan, Li Kan and others still went ashore, and they couldn't help laughing happily when they saw Yuan Jun fleeing in a panic in the distance.

The first battle was won, and the morale of the enemy army was completely lost. It seems that Hedong County is already applauding.

Waiting for tomorrow to rush over, forcefully attack the city, and take the city, what else can that little Ma Chao say?
