Ma Chao also knew the importance of the battle in Longqi City, so he nodded without hesitation: "Judges only need to worry, Chao will never let an old Qiang enter Liangzhou."

"In this way, I'll ask the general."

After Xu Shu and Ma Chao agreed, they prepared to leave that night and return to Jincheng County.

The reason why he came to write about Gu was to check the situation in Jincheng. Although Liu Chuang had already instructed that the battle in Jincheng must be dominated by Ma Chao and not interfere easily. However, Xu Shu also knew that Ma Chao was a man with a irritable nature and was more or less infected with some Qianghu habits. Once his attack was unfavorable, he would easily lose his mind and might even issue an order to massacre the city and plunder the town.

The number of Han people in Jincheng is not very large. If Ma Chao washes and sweeps again, it will inevitably have serious consequences.

You should know that the scholars in Liangzhou have always disagreed with Ma Chao. The reason why he acknowledged that he and Han Sui had confronted him was because Ma Chao avenged his father, which was reasonable. But once he plundered the town, he would easily be caught by those people. Liu Chuang also said that without interfering with Ma Chao, he should try to ensure the integrity of Jincheng. Therefore, Xu Shu has always been concerned about the situation of Jincheng. On the one hand, he tried to make suggestions for Ma Chao as much as possible, and on the other hand, he tried to reduce his presence so that Ma Chao would not be disgusted because he intervened too much.

Ma Chao is not a fool, so why don’t he understand Xu Shu’s painstaking efforts?

Xu Shu is protecting his face, and he cannot refuse this affection.

Therefore, the cooperation between the two was also very good. Xu Shu tried not to interfere in specific matters and was only responsible for planning behind the scenes; while Ma Chao always maintained respect for Xu Shu. He told Ma Dai that Ma Xiu, Yang Puyueji and others should treat Xu Shu just like he did, and should not be neglected.

"General, Yan Xing is brave and Han Sui is deceitful.

The terrain of Mucheng Valley is complicated. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so you must not compete with him... I have a tip sent by my lord. If the battle of Mucheng Valley is not going well, you can open the tip to check it. I will rush back to Jincheng tonight. I heard that Cao Cao sent Huangfu Jianshou to serve as an envoy, and I was worried that Wei Duan would have any changes. Beware of the war in Longqi City. It must be over as soon as possible. Please worry the general."

Before leaving, Xu Shu handed Ma Chao a gift.

Ma Chao hurriedly took it over and kept it with great caution... He watched Xu Shu leave, and then returned to the Shugu Camp.

"Brother, are you too careful?"

Back in the tent, Ma Xiu couldn't help but say, "Han Sui is desperate, and only the lonely city of Longqi City is left.

At this time, Jun Xu was still so cautious that he underestimated his brother. In my opinion, Jun Xu was good at everything. He was too brave."

But Ma Chao glared at him, "Shut up!"

Seeing that only Ma Dai and Ma Xiu were in the big tent, he said softly: "Meng Yan wrote to me that Yuan Zhi has a beautiful heart and a talent that can overcome the world. What kind of person do you think Meng Yan is? Will he praise people easily? Since he admires Yuan Zhi so much, it means that Yuan Zhi has real talent and knowledge. Yuan Zhi may be careful. But he always predicts things like a god... Our battle in Jincheng is going smoothly, and we did not suffer too much casualties, so we took down the entire Jincheng. What is it? In addition to the bravery of you and my brothers, Yuan Zhi is also planning for the future.

Fighting the battlefield is not worth worrying about a hundred yuan.

But if you talk about planning and predicting the enemy's initiative, you and I are far from his opponent.

Meng Yan sent him here, and it was indeed a bit of thought... I warn you again that you must not be despised by Yuan Zhi, but must be respectful."

Ma Dai is Ma Chao's confidant and has followed Ma Chao since he was a child.

And what about Ma Xiu?

He was also afraid of Ma Chao since he was a child... Once Ma Teng died, Ma Xiu respected Ma Chao more.

He frowned slightly, glanced at the tips in Ma Chao's hand, and then hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Han Sui, can he still have the power to turn the world back?"

Ma Chao was stunned, looked at the tip of the picture in front of him and said nothing for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Meng Yan likes to pretend to be a god and a ghost. I want to see what methods Han Sui has."

As he spoke, he hid his treasure close to his body.

Then he stood up and said, "Tomorrow morning, the soldiers will be sent to Kiwai!"

Yanjing, General's Mansion.

Liu Chuang was still standing in front of the Liangzhou sand table, staring straight at the mountains and terrain on the sand table, but his face showed a bit of solemnity.

"Brother, don't worry about the Battle of Jincheng.

With Yuan Zhi and Ziheng helping each other, and with his brother's trick, Meng Qi's killing Han Sui is not an easy task, so why worry?"

"You don't understand Meng Qi!"

Liu Chuang sighed and turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang.

"Meng Qixin is arrogant and even a little stubborn.

This is related to his early experience... His mother is a Qiang man, with half of Qiang and Hu blood flowing, so that Ma Teng has always been dissatisfied with him. Even if he works hard, he can't even reach the level of refining the gods. You see, he seems to be full of confidence, but in fact he is quite inferior. The more a person he is like, the more proud he is! He doesn't want to be looked down upon by anyone, so he develops a self-righteous and self-conceited nature. Han Sui is now like a trapped beast. The trapped beast is still fighting... This anxious dog is even more terrifying.

This battle in Jincheng was a battle of revenge in Meng Qi. It was difficult for Yuanzhi or Ziheng to intervene too much.

I can let Yuan directly intervene in Hehuang because it has nothing to do with Meng Qi.

But if Yuanzhi was asked to intervene directly in Jincheng, Meng Qi might not feel comfortable...so I gave him a gift...

But I also know that with Meng Qi's personality, if she doesn't encounter any trouble, she will never break up the trick.

He is too proud, but Han Sui is a cunning person... To be honest, I am indeed a little worried that Meng has taken Han Sui's trick."

On the side, there was a man in a gray robe dressed in a retainer.

Hearing Liu Chuang's words, he suddenly raised his head and showed a look of surprise on his face.

Cheng Gongying didn't expect that Liu Chuang would know Ma Chao so well!

Even though Liu Chuang told Cheng Gongying that he and Ma Chao were friends for eight times, Cheng Gongying still felt that Liu Chuang and Ma Chao were always using each other.

Since being locked in the General's Mansion, Liu Chuang did what he said and treated Cheng Gongying as his other retainers.

Cheng Gongying always believed that Cao Cao would send troops to rescue Han Sui, so there was always hope... He didn't want to bear the name of abandoned friend, so he endured humiliation and lived in the General's Mansion. At the beginning, he was a little uncomfortable. But as time went by, he gradually adapted to the identity of this general's mansion. While slowly adapting to his new identity, Cheng Gongying was also observing Liu Chuang.

He never understood that Liu Chuang had a very good temper and his literary talent was not very profound.

Apart from his background and luck, this guy seems to have no advantages... But why can he recruit a large number of people who are devoted to him?

Liu Chuang, very real!

At least he is very sincere to the people around him.

This also greatly improved his personality charm. His courage, his background, and the legend he created in his early years even shrouded a mysterious halo on this person. Sometimes, Cheng Gongying really couldn't understand why Liu Chuang always bet right? Starting from Qingzhou, every decision he made seemed like a gamble, but in the end it proved that he bet right!

One is gambling, two is gambling, three is gambling...

But four times, five times, six times... Cheng Gongying had to admit that in addition to his luck, Liu Chuang also had an insight that ordinary people could not perceive. His tolerance for the division was also unrecognizable to ordinary people. For example, in this battle in Jincheng, Liu Chuang refused to interfere in specific matters for the so-called brotherhood. If it were another person, it would be difficult to do it!

At least, Wen Yue does not have such a mind!

But you know that Ma Chao will definitely follow your plan?

Cheng Gongying felt in her heart, then lowered her head and cleaned the room seriously...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Xu Shu returned to Jincheng County, he didn't wait for him to sit down and take a breath. Zhuge Jun came to him.

Zhuge, who was in Hehuang and his journey, was able to say that his merits were fulfilled.

Tang Zhuo raised an army to fight against Ke Zui, so Zhuge Jun couldn't continue to stay in Hehuang.

In Zhuge Jun's words, "From now on, the Battle of Hehuang will be an internal struggle between the Qiang people.

Tang Shu also needs this battle to prove his ability... I am my brother's fault, and it may not be appropriate if I continue to stay in Hehuang at this time.

If Tang Shi cannot win in such a situation, it means that this person is not worthy of use."

Therefore, after Zhaling Lake became a alliance, Zhuge Jun followed Zhao Yun back to Jincheng... The travelers were Tang Ju and Yang Ju.

This is also entrusted by Tang Shi and Yang Teng, hoping that Tang Ju and Yang Ju can learn more skills around Xu Shu.

After the two arrived in Jincheng, Xu Shu sent them to Zhao Yun's tent and ordered him to stay in Muyuan.

Zhuge Jun walked in a hurry, holding a letter in his hand.

He walked in and said, "Yuan Zhi, letter from Zhongda."

"oh?"

"Cao Cao has decided to send troops to Liangzhou, Huangfu Jianshou will be sent to Didao, I believe Wei Duan will not object."

When Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

He pondered for a moment and said softly: "Have you ever heard of who Cao Cao sent to Liangzhou?"

"It is said that it is Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao."

Xu Shu's face suddenly became solemn.

As one of the three major plotters around Liu Chuang, Xu Shu knew very well who Liu Chuang’s opponent was. Therefore, before Liu Chuangwei swept across Youzhou, Xu Shu began to pay attention to Cao Cao’s subordinates. What are the characters under Cao Cao? Xu Shu knew it very well.

Cao Ren…

This is definitely the most powerful general under Cao Cao.

To be brave does not mean that he is brave, but that Cao Ren is both wise and brave, has outstanding military tactics and extraordinary strategies.

Liu Chuang once commented on this person: He is very unfamiliar with Wen Yuan.

How could a person who is not much inferior to Zhang Liao be an ordinary person?

Cao Cao's orders Cao Ren to command the army, which is enough to show Cao Cao's importance to Liangzhou.

The real decisive battle has finally come!

Xu Shu suddenly felt extremely excited. In his opinion, Han Sui and Wei Duan could not be his opponent. Cao Ren was undoubtedly an opponent with enough weight. Only by defeating such an opponent can he show his true strength. He felt excited in his heart, and there seemed to be a ball of fire burning in his body...
