The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 291 The Female General

Outside Chang'an City, Xiliang camped out, and Ma Chao was in charge of the Chinese army.

"Huh!" In the middle of the night, the moon and the stars were scarce, but Ma Chao seemed to have no sleep at all. He was wearing an armored battle robe, and he seemed to be ready to send troops at any time. He smashed into the city of Chang'an with his right hand. A wine cup, his handsome face was extraordinarily ferocious because of anger, but seeing him biting his lip, staring his eyes tightly, and gnashing his teeth, he roared: "Yuan Thief is cunning, sticking to Chang'an, he just stays in it. This is really the behavior of the rats! Tomorrow I will organize soldiers, horses and equipment to storm Chang'an City. I vow to break the resignation letter. If not, Yuan Shang, the rats, can stay in the city forever! He can hide for a while, and he can last a lifetime ?"

Under Ma Chao's command, Ma Dai frowned, persuading Ma Chao, saying: "Brother, Yuan Shang is cunning, and everyone knows that, now he deliberately sticks to Chang'an, just to lure us to attack the city, in order to reduce our force." The strength of troops and siege battles have always been ten times that of the enemy. Our soldiers and horses may not be more than Yuan Shang's. In addition, the city of Chang'an is strong and tall, and it is insurmountable. Because of the attack on this city in the past few days, the morale of the soldiers of the three armies has dropped to the bottom. We have reached the bottom of the valley, and we are all exhausted. If we continue to attack like this, I am afraid that Yuan Shang will not have to go out of the city to fight us. The consumption alone will be enough to deal a fatal blow to our army. A strong attack is already an unacceptable strategy. Think of another strategy, so as not to exhaust the soldiers and horses."

Ma Chao's eyes were wide open, he was clenching his teeth tightly, trying to crush the steel teeth, his fists were clenched tightly, and his joints creaked in the silent handsome tent, and it was so silent After a while, Ma Chao turned his head to look at Ma Dai and said, "You said you don't want to attack by force, so let me ask you, besides attack by force, is there any other way to defeat Yuan Shang and capture Chang'an?"

"This..." Ma Dai hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and then said tentatively: "Brother, to be honest, in fact, on the first day we arrived in Chang'an, Yuan Shang had a conversation with his brother at the top of the city. Rather than having nothing to do with it, he listed several reasons. Although the younger brother is dull, but after careful consideration, Yuan Shang is a smart and cunning person. Killing his uncle would do him nothing but harm! There is something strange about this matter. Why don't we retreat back to Huaili for the time being, and find out the truth carefully, don't fall into other people's tricks, it's really unwise to be willing to be a pawn..."

"Cousin, what you say is so muddled! Boy Yuan Shang, he settled his enmity with our army in Bingzhou back then. Killing his father was an act of venting his anger. Now he shirks his responsibility with a few words, so you believe him? So simple, how can you trust him?" Can gain a foothold in this troubled world!" Ma Chao frowned, criticizing Ma Dai with a serious face.

"This..." Ma Dai seemed to want to argue with Ma Chao, but seeing Ma Chao's serious expression, Ma Dai changed his mind, gave up this idea, and changed his way of speaking: "Even so, but brother, the current situation of our army is really not suitable for spending more troops on Chang'an City! What's more, our army is not good at attacking fortifications. If it continues like this, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid it will consume all the wealth of the family for many years." A clear and indifferent voice came from outside the camp and fell into the ears of Ma Chao and Ma Dai, but it made them wake up immediately.

Turning his head to look, he saw a female general wearing a pink robe, soft armor, and a strong suit walking slowly into the handsome tent. She had silky smooth and bright long hair, icy muscles and fine bones, and clear cherry lips. It seems that the heroic and valiant and the soft and delicate in the world are all favored in one body, and an infinite poetic flavor and vitality are immediately brought into the army.

"Cousin!" Ma Dai exclaimed, as if he couldn't believe the girl's arrival.

Ma Chao was obviously a little dazed, but he quickly came to his senses. He frowned, stood up, and said to the woman, "Little sister, if you don't lead the troops in Huaili to defend the city, how can you go to the front line of Chang'an city without authorization?" Come?"

The female general in the pink robe smiled lightly, and said with a slight smile: "Little sister is in Huai Li, and I heard that my brother's battle here is not going well, so I personally escorted the food and grass, and came to the front of the army to share my worries, I hope my brother will not blame me. "Although her voice was curious, there seemed to be a hint of mellowness hidden in her voice, which was very pleasant and comfortable.

Ma Chao opened his mouth, wanting to say something reprimanding, but when the words came to his lips, seeing the girl's charming smile, it seemed difficult to read, then he could only sigh helplessly, waved his hands and said: "That's all." , Come here, it’s useless to talk.”

The female general smiled slightly, with a somewhat apologetic look in her smile, and also seemed to be grateful, and said: "Brother, my little sister is nothing, it seems that I just heard what my brother and cousin said outside the tent, and I probably know the current situation, but Brother, don't worry, in my younger sister's opinion, it is not difficult to lure Yuan Shang out of the city."

Hearing Ma Dai's words, he seemed to be shocked, but Ma Chao looked at the woman with disdain, and said, "Yun Lu, your words are a bit exaggerated, don't you?"

This woman is Ma Teng's daughter, Ma Chao's younger sister, and Ma Yunlu, the daughter of General Fubo's successor.

Ma Yunlu was not angry when he heard the words, but shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Brother, what is Yuan Shang's real purpose in coming to Guanzhong?"

Ma Chao kept silent when he heard the words, but Ma Dai was quite willing to step down. Hearing the words, he immediately said, "Yuan Shang divided his troops into three groups and marched south. Naturally, his purpose is to conquer Cao Cao, dominate Henan, and enter the Central Plains. To avenge Yuan Shao, but also to conquer the world!"

Ma Yunlu nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, Yuan Shang's real purpose here is to conquer the city and expand his territory. His sword points directly at the world, and he is not here to defend the city. Defending Chang'an is just a temporary strategy for him. Its real purpose is still mainly conquest, and it is not difficult for him to lead the troops out of Chang'an City only if he is lured with an appropriate introduction based on this point."

This time, Ma Yunlu's words hit the point, and finally made Ma Chao look serious. He turned his head hastily, looked at Ma Yunlu expectantly in his eyes and said, "Sister, in your opinion, how should we make this Where is Yuan Shang leaving the city?"

Ma Yunlu smiled when he heard the words, and said lightly: "Little sister has two steps. As long as the elder brother does what I said, it is not difficult to let Yuan Shang lead the troops out of the city. Before the younger sister came to Chang'an, she heard that Cao Cao had arrived. On the banks of the Wei River, envoys are being sent wantonly to say that they will surrender to the princes in Guanzhong, thinking that they will help us, the first thing we have to do is to spread the news and let Yuan Jun, no, let Yuan Shang know about it!"

Although Ma Chao is reckless, he is not too stupid. After hearing the words and thinking about it, he knew the intention of Ma Yunlu's move, and then said: "This method is necessary. In addition, the second thing that needs to be done is What?"

Ma Yunlu smiled slightly, and said: "Tomorrow organize troops and horses, attack Chang'an City again, and then withdraw the troops."

"…………"

***********************
In Chang'an City's prefect's mansion, Yuan Shang temporarily went to the palace.

"Nearly half of the princes in Guanzhong have surrendered to Cao Cao?" Yuan Shang frowned, listening to the news of the general Wang's general's affairs to himself, his brows could not help but deeply frowned, and the wrinkles between his eyes showed He was quite anxious at the moment.

Wang Men nodded: "Exactly!"

"Where did the news come from?"

"It's from the people, but because of this matter, the general also specially sent spies to investigate and found that Cao Jun's actions were indeed as rumored in the folks. Cao Cao's old thief wanted to take advantage of our army's confrontation with Ma Chao and take advantage of it. , and then crush our army in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes, sighed, shook his head and said: "Old thief Cao Cao, the level of enlightenment is still the same as before. This move is good and wonderful! All my previous deployments and all my previous deployments have been combined in one fell swoop. The advantages are all disrupted and re-arranged, no... I must find a way to rush out of Chang'an as soon as possible, otherwise the old thief Cao Cao will continue to toss like this, and the situation in Guanzhong will collapse sooner or later... Where is Hao Zhao? Call him to come and see I!"

Hearing the words, Wangmen retreated quickly, and after a while, he brought Hao Zhao, the current general who defended the city, to Yuan Shang. ?”

Hao Zhao shook his head when he heard this, and said, "My lord, the siege of Ma Chao's army in the past few days is obviously not as good as before, and it is becoming more and more difficult to continue. The siege of the soldiers and horses was just a feint attack, not an actual attack, and the main camp moved frequently, as if there was an intention to retreat."

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Ma Chao intends to retreat?"

Hao Zhao nodded and said, "Yes!"

Yuan Shang wiped his chin in thought and remained silent, but Wangmen said excitedly: "My lord, this matter is also reasonable. Ma Chao has repeatedly attacked Chang'an, losing troops and generals, and his momentum is not sustainable. If he continues to attack hard, sooner or later he will also kill Ma Chao." The family property that Teng left to him has been completely destroyed! Even if there is a great hatred, we have to put it down now... If Ma Chao withdraws, we can fight Cao Cao as soon as possible!"

Yuan Shang thought for a while, and said: "Don't rush to make a conclusion, how about this, you go and invite Mr. Tian Feng, I want to talk to him."

When Tian Feng came to him when he was young, Yuan Shang told the stubborn old man everything and asked for his opinion.

After Tian Feng listened, he stroked his beard and didn't say anything. Yuan Shangrong thought for a while, and then asked: "Mr. Tian, ​​Cao Cao's quick actions are not good for our army. Ma Chao also led the troops to retreat. We are observing for a while. , or quickly lead the troops out of the city to deal with Cao Cao? Yuan is hesitant, and I hope that Mr. will make a decision for me!"

Tian Feng opened his eyes, and Bing Bing said coldly: "Out of the city! Of course out of the city, but we are not going to fight Cao Cao, but to go out of the city to chase Ma Chao!"
