"You are also aware of what the Huns did on the border."

"If I wait to respond to the emperor's call and go to rescue the people on the border, then the people's hearts will return!"

"If we go directly to attack Xuchang, even if we defeat him, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long!"

Han Sui also echoed:

"Nephew Meng Qi, don't forget why I waited so long to hide my strength and bide my time!"

Hearing what the two said, Ma Chao fell silent for a moment, and then sighed helplessly:

"Since your father and uncle have said so, Chao has no objection."

After finishing speaking, Ma Chao left the camp quickly.

"you!"

"All the ministers are here, why are you leaving?"

Ma Teng widened his eyes, and was about to teach Ma Chao a lesson, but was stopped by Han Sui:

"Okay, Shoucheng, it's not like you don't know Meng Qi's temperament."

"Let him think about it, and he will be fine."

"This kid is just too eager for quick success."

Ma Teng heaved a long sigh and had no choice but to give up:

"That's all, I'm the one who spoiled Meng Qi."

"Ling Ming, you go and tell the envoy, I will take orders."

"Afterwards, count the soldiers and horses, and take [-] soldiers and horses to the border."

"Here!"

Upon hearing this, Pang De accepted the order with fists folded, and left after Ma Chao.

……

"Meng Qi, Meng Qi!"

Just as Ma Chao was furious, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Pound?

Hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look.

Pound caught up and said in a deep voice:

"Meng Qi, you are still too eager for quick success."

"You just think about fighting, but you never think about anything popular."

"Since you want to leave the bitter cold of Xiliang, you should think carefully."

Ma Chao frowned and said:

"How come I'm eager for quick success?"

"Ling Ming, think about it carefully!"

"At this time, almost all of Cao Cao's troops are heading to Jiangdong, intending to take Jiangdong."

"This is my only chance!"

"Who knows how long this Jiangdong can last?"

"If it is according to what my father and uncle said, what if Cao Cao has returned to the court by then?"

"Such a good opportunity, absolutely not to be missed!"

Pound shook his head and said:

"Meng Qi, you are thinking too simply."

"Do you know how difficult Jiangdong is to fight?"

"There is a natural moat in the east of the Yangtze River, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is far different from my Xiliang."

"Even if Cao Cao sent his entire army, he could only cross the river cautiously."

"If you want to win Jiangdong, I am afraid that one or two years will not be enough."

"If Cao Cao had such strength, I'm afraid I, Xiliang, would be gone by now."

Ma Chao was only stunned when he heard the words, and didn't speak.

Pound patted Ma Chao on the shoulder helplessly:

"Forget it, Meng Qi, just think about it."

After all, Pound left without looking back.

At this time, Ma Dai followed closely, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother, I think what Ling Ming said makes sense."

"Although the father and uncle's method will take a lot of time, it is the safest method."

"As my father said, doing this is also for the sake of the people."

Ma Chao immediately said impatiently:

"You know shit!"

"That's all, anyway, the Huns are not a good thing."

"Beat them first and vent your anger!"

Ma Dai shook his head helplessly, and immediately said:

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Ma Chao said without looking back:

"Come on, let's take the advance army to the border first!"

"Kill two Huns to relieve their anger!"

However, neither Ma Teng nor Han Sui could have imagined that this false decree was not sent by Cao Cao, but by Bai Chuan.

What's more, they didn't know that no matter whether they went directly to attack Xuchang or attacked Xuchang after the Huns were wiped out, Xuchang had a lot of troops.

This has been a scam from beginning to end.

However, what Bai Chuan wanted was to make this unstable factor work for him.

Chapter 77Good news!

The next day, the Youzhou border camp.

"Good news, good news!"

Cao Zhang broke into the commander's camp with an excited expression on his face, and said with a smile:

"Good news, sir!"

At this time, Bai Chuan was sitting at the table discussing with Yan Rou the route to enter the Huns camp.

Seeing that Cao Zhang was about to rush towards his face, Bai Chuan quickly raised his hand to stop him:

"Did Ma Teng send troops to suppress the Huns?"

Cao Zhang was stunned when he heard the words:

"Mr. is really clever!"

"Sure enough, just now, a secret report came from the front, saying that Ma Chao had led troops to the border to fight the Huns."

"Sir, this plan is really clever!"

"One strategy can solve the two hidden dangers at the same time, carefree, really carefree!"

Seeing Cao Zhang who was dancing so excitedly, Bai Chuan couldn't help laughing bitterly:

"It's just a plan to drive tigers and wolfs away."

"Sir Xun Yu should be more familiar with this kind of strategy than I am."

Cao Chun, on the other hand, looked at Bai Chuan with a puzzled expression and said:

"Sir, how did you conclude that Ma Teng would definitely attack the Huns?"

"What if he doesn't obey?"

This imperial decree is really fake, it can't be fake anymore, the Emperor Xian at this time has no prestige at all.

Not only that, but it was impossible for Emperor Xian to know what the Huns were doing at this time, let alone write an edict.

But Ma Teng was fooled by this obvious false edict?

Cao Chun couldn't figure out why.

Cao Zhang also looked at Bai Chuan with doubts on his face:

"Yes, sir, what is this all about?"

"I've met Ma Teng. He's quite a man, so I'm afraid he's not someone to fool."

"Could it be possible, did the master cast a spell on him?"

Bai Chuan said angrily:

"If I can cast spells to change people's minds, why should I rack my brains here?"

"Actually, this is inevitable."

"Ma Teng, he dare not disobey."

Looking at the more puzzled eyes of the two, Bai Chuan continued:

"The reason is very simple. Even though the edict is known to be false, what is behind the edict?"

"It's an order from the current prime minister."

"Ma Teng dared to ignore Emperor Xian's order, but he didn't dare to ignore the prime minister's order."

Cao Chun was puzzled and said:

"But Ma Teng is definitely not a person who keeps his own place. If he wants to rebel, why does he still listen to the orders of the prime minister?"

Bai Chuan continued:

"Because he doesn't know how many real troops Xudu has now."

"I told you this before."

"Obey the edict, you can win people's hearts, and you can wait and see for a while to see the real strength of Xu Du."

"Will it be safer to attack again when the prime minister's army fights in Chibi and Jiangdong?"

"On the contrary, if you don't follow, the people will definitely criticize him."

"He is not from the Central Plains, but from Xiliang, so he will be rejected even more."

"What's more, if there are many soldiers in Xudu, he will not be able to fight for a while, and instead attract the prime minister's army back to defend, what should we do?"

"In addition, the Xiongnu disrupted the border and drove the Qiang people, which will more or less affect the border of Xiliang."

"This is the choice of two birds with one stone, why didn't Ma Teng choose?"

Cao Zhang, Cao Chun, and Yan Rou were stunned by these words.

Such a seemingly simple strategy has such an exquisite layout!

It's fine if Ma Teng is a reckless person, maybe he doesn't care about the pitfalls.

But he is a smart man.

To deal with smart people, this method is definitely enough to make them suffer.

"What a way to drive away tigers and wolves! With Mr. here, why worry about the instability in the northern border?"

Yan Rou smiled generously, and immediately said:
