Bloodline of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 209
Yuan Shao watched the arrow tower being destroyed by the catapult, his heart was bleeding with anger.All he can do now is desperately urge the soldiers to attack the city.But without the threat of the arrow tower, how could the Youzhou army allow them to climb the city wall.One by one, the Jizhou army was thrown off the ladder by the Youzhou army defending the city.

This siege battle ended with Yuan Shao returning in vain. Yuan Shao not only lost all the arrow towers.Thousands of soldiers were also lost, which made Yuan Shao unable to calm down.But now Yuan Shao had no choice but to watch Youbeiping County in front of him helplessly, unable to attack for a long time.

"Leader, in my opinion, the reason for today's failure is that the Youzhou Army has catapults. As long as we can avoid the catapults, we can take this Youbeiping County." Ma Teng's words almost didn't kill Yuan Shao, who wouldn't I know that catapult is powerful.But someone else's catapult is on the city wall, and I haven't even climbed on the city wall so far.Let yourself how to destroy the catapult.

"Since General Ma has seen the crux of the problem, is there any way to destroy the catapult?" The examiner said after getting up to salute Ma Teng.

"There are ways, as long as the leader finds some strange people who are good at using fire. Then don't say it's a catapult, even the city wall of Youbeiping County can't stop the leader's footsteps." Ma Teng looked serious. Said.

Yuan Shao's nose was about to be crooked by anger, how can it be so easy to find capable people and strange people.If there are strange people to help, it would not be necessary for him to work so hard to come to the battlefield in person.Yuan Shao suppressed his anger and said to Ma Teng: "According to General Ma, there must be some strange people and strange things in your army. Can you introduce one to me."

Ma Teng said with a smile: "The leader is right. If there were no strange people and strange things in my camp, how could I have won Bingzhou so quickly! However, the dispositions of these strange people are very strange. The hobbies are also very special. It is really not an easy task to ask them to take action."

Yuan Shao couldn't help standing up from his seat when he heard what Ma Teng said.Walked to Ma Teng's side in three or two steps, took Ma Teng's hand and said: "As long as General Ma can introduce them to me, as for their hobbies and demands, I, Yuan Shao, will definitely do everything I can to satisfy them."

"Since the leader has such confidence, I will go back to the camp to get in touch with them. I will try to let them come out of the mountain as soon as possible to help the leader. However, after the battle of Bingzhou, my Xiliang army still suffered a lot of losses. I wonder if the leader can do it." , fund some supplies to help our Xiliang army." Ma Teng said to Yuan Shao with an embarrassed face.

Hearing Ma Teng's words, Yuan Shao finally understood why Ma Teng would be so kind to introduce capable people to himself.It turned out that he wanted to get benefits from it, since it was in demand.Then Yuan Shao no longer worried that Ma Teng would have other intentions.

"You and I are a coalition. Now that we have formed an alliance. How can I look at General Ma and ignore the shortage of supplies. Even if General Ma didn't introduce me with strange talents, I will still subsidize the military supplies to General Ma." Yuan Shao said to Ma Teng with a sincere expression.

"Then I would like to thank the leader for his kindness. I, Ma Teng, are also the ones who receive rewards for nothing. I will introduce talented people to the leader, and I, Ma Teng, will not feel shorthanded when I get the supplies from the leader. After Ma Teng finished speaking, he strode out of Yuan Shao's big tent and headed for his barracks.

Why did Ma Teng take the initiative to introduce strange people and Yuan Shao?This is a plan that Ma Teng and Zhan Tian have come up with after repeated research.Ma Teng wanted to play a good show with Jia Xu from Youbeiping County, and give Yuan Shao a chance to catch the turtle.

In the prefect's mansion of Youbeiping County, Jia Xu came to see Zhang Ren with Ma Teng's letter.After Jia Xu handed Ma Teng's letter to Zhang Ren, he said, "General Zhang, this is a secret letter sent by Ma Teng from Xiliang. He wants us to cooperate with him in a good show. Bring Yuan Shao into Youbeiping In the county, let’s close the door and beat the turtle in the urn.” Jia Xu explained Ma Teng’s plan to Zhang Ren in detail.

"Mr. Wenhe, this Ma Teng's strategy can be regarded as a clever plan, but I just don't know how much trust Ma Teng has. If it is the bitter trick used by him and Yuan Shao, then we will completely hand over this right Beiping County." Give it to him and Yuan Shao." Zhang Ren said to Jia Xu solemnly.

After hearing Zhang Ren's words, Jia Xu couldn't help laughing.Then he said to Zhang Ren: "General Zhang does not know that this Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao, is the master's disciple, that is, your nephew. As early as when the master captured Xiliang, this Ma Teng had already recognized the master. Lord, it’s just that this Ma Teng has always appeared in opposition to the lord in order to deceive people.”

After Zhang Ren heard Jia Xu's words, he suddenly realized, no wonder Jia Xu was facing 20 enemy troops, and he was so fearless.It turned out that Ma Teng was actually Liu Long's secret game, and with Ma Teng as his internal support, Yuan Shao was really nothing to worry about.Zhang Ren didn't expect Liu Long's layout to be so precise, and he began to plot against the princes of the world a few years ago.

"It seems that I still underestimated, my little junior brother. I didn't expect that he would have made arrangements. From this point of view alone, there is really no one in the world who is his opponent. No wonder he has such a great ambition." Ideal, it turns out that he didn't pay attention to the princes of the world at all." Zhang Ren said naturally to himself.

"General Zhang, it's not that the Lord doesn't take the princes of the world seriously, but that the princes of the world are nothing more than a bunch of profit-seeking people in the eyes of the Lord. There are only a few people who can really become opponents with the Lord. Among them, Liu Bei under Liu Yan is one of them." Jia Xu said.

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande. I know a little about this person, but I haven't found anything special about him. And now that Liu Bei doesn't have his own territory, how can he become the enemy of the younger brother?" Zhang Ren asked puzzled.

"General Zhang, you are confused by Liu Bei's appearance. Liu Bei has the help of the demon clan behind him. Although he is only working under Liu Yan's command now, it won't be long before Liu Yan's Yizhou will become Liu Bei's pocket Things." Jia Xu said to Zhang Ren.

Hearing what Jia Xu said, Zhang Ren recalled what Liu Bei had done.Suddenly understood something, it seems that Gan Ning left Yizhou to join Liu Long, and chased Gan Ning with himself.It must have something to do with Liu Bei.This should be Liu Bei's method of cutting off dissidents, in order to weaken Liu Yan's strength.Thinking of this, Zhang Ren couldn't help feeling worried for his old master who was far away in Yizhou, but Zhang Ren knew that if what Jia Xu said was true, then Liu Yan was really not Liu Bei's opponent.Yizhou's change of ownership is only a matter of time.
