Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

In 191 AD, on February [-]th, Cao Shuo summoned Wenwu to discuss attacking Gongsundu.

Xun You suggested: "My lord, Tian Yu's army has assembled in Pingguo County, Liaodong County. As long as Lu Jun transports the grain and grass, we can send troops to Wen County."

Tian Yu, Yan Rou, Xian Yuyin, and Xian Yufu led [-] cavalry, and they had been stationed in Pingguo County for two months.

A heavy snowfall a year ago made them unable to use troops against the north. Now that the spring is warm and the snow has melted, the army is waiting for the general order from Xindu at any time.

Cao Shuo asked, "Who is under Gongsun Du's command?"

Xi Zhicai replied: "Gongsun Gong, Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, Guan Ning, Wang Lie, Liu Yi, Yang Yi and others are all little-known little people, and there is nothing special about them."

This information from Xi Zhicai illustrates a problem, Gongsun Du is far inferior to Gongsun Zan.

Most of Gongsun Du's subordinates are civil servants, and the conquest of foreign enemies depends entirely on his Gongsun family's children and himself.

Xi Zhicai continued to explain: "Although Gongsun Du's martial arts is not as good as Gongsun Zan's, his ability to command an army is much better than Gongsun Zan's."

Cao Shuo asked, "How does it compare to Xu Huang?"

Xi Zhicai replied, "Not as good as Gongming!"

"Then what else do we have to worry about, Gongda, you give fat Xu Huang an order to cross the Great Wall to attack Liucheng and Yangle on February 25."

"promise!"

"In addition, you give an order to Gan Ning in Linyu to lead [-] sailors to attack the Liaodong vassal states from the sea."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo said confidently: "These three ways go hand in hand, even if Gongsun Du has all kinds of abilities, it is impossible to resist it."

Jushou agreed, "My lord's words are very true."

Everyone was discussing what Yuan Shao would do next. He robbed him of food and grass before, and joined forces with the Mi family to trick him. If it wasn't for the recent blizzard in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao would have been unable to sit still.

"Report, Chang'an Jinyiwei sent an urgent message!"

Cao Shuo took the letter, and after reading it, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Ma Teng from Xiliang has joined Dong Zhuo!"

"what!"

Everyone was surprised, how could Ma Teng join Dong Zhuo?
Xun You said in disbelief: "Although Ma Teng's soldiers and horses are not as many as Dong Zhuo's, there are also many generals under him. There is no problem in defending Wuwei and Zhangye. Why did he join Dong Zhuo before Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor? I am afraid there must be something unspeakable. human deeds."

Previously, Wang Yun sent someone to send a letter to let him go to Chang'an, but he didn't tell anyone except Xi Zhicai.

Cao Shuo continued: "Dong Zhuobiao played Ma Teng as the general of chariots and horses, and the commander-in-chief of Liangzhou's soldiers and horses!"

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped, this Dong Zhuo must be crazy, he even handed over Liangzhou to Ma Teng, what kind of shady business is going on between them.

"Ma Teng sent his sons Ma Chao, Ma Tie, his younger brother Ma Yi, and Ma Yi's son Ma Dai to Chang'an as hostages to show his loyalty to Dong Zhuo."

"This……"

Ma Teng actually sold his son for a chariot general?
Or did he want to gain more power after Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor?
Xun Yu said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui have been entrenched in Wuwei and Zhangye for many years, and these two have become brothers with different surnames. It is really unexpected that they took refuge in Dong Zhuo."

Ju Shou said: "Ma Teng's capital is a bit big, two of his own have entered Luoyang, and his younger brother, how much benefit did Dong Zhuo promise Ma Teng?"

A chariot general is probably not enough to watch.

Cao Shuo was also very surprised by Ma Teng's decision. If he could work together with Han Sui, he would have Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, and Han Sui's eight generals under him, which could be said to overwhelm Dong Zhuo.

Is this the strategy of the ministers of the DPRK and China?
But when he saw Ma Chao's name, he already knew what Ma Teng was up to.

This guy wants to directly use strong...

Really don't take Dong Zhuo seriously.

Except for Ma Teng's cronies, Ma Chao's ability is probably unknown to others.

Xun You said: "My lord, Ma Teng's decision is a bit unbelievable. The subordinates think that Ma Teng must have other intentions. We should be careful."

"What's the intention?" Cao Shuo looked at Xun You in puzzlement.

Xun You explained: "I don't know, but with Ma Teng's strength and Dong Zhuo's current predicament, there is no need to take this step. There must be a conspiracy."

Cao Shuo said: "Zhicai, please contact the Jinyi Guards in Chang'an City and let them keep an eye on every move of the court ministers. If there is any change, send a letter to Luoyang. Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the army to Luoyang!"

"promise!"

"The purpose of setting off to Luoyang this time is just in case. Once His Majesty escapes from Chang'an by chance, we can also respond and stop Dong Zhuo's army."

Xun You said: "Master, once our army receives His Majesty, have you ever thought about where to place His Majesty?"

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "How do you feel about trust?"

If it is really unfortunate that he receives Liu Xie, he will definitely not send Liu Xie to Luoyang. It is very close to Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao. He doesn't want to be the target of public criticism.

Xun Yu agreed: "The letter is very suitable. There is the Great Wall in the north, the Yellow River in the south, the sea in the east, and the mountains in the west. As long as we guard the dangerous places, even if the princes attack in groups, we will not be able to please them!"

For Cao Shuo, Liu Xie was a hot potato.

The best thing for him is that Liu Xie was directly killed by Dong Zhuo.

In this way, this world will become a world without an owner, and whoever wants to fight can fight.

There is no need to worry about the court, nor about His Majesty's imperial decree.
