Chapter 13 Ma Yunlu asks for a monthly pass)

In the spring of 213 AD, Cao Cao commanded 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry, heading straight to Xiliang, Xiahou Yuan commanded 300,000 infantry, and Lu Xun commanded 100,000 navies to attack Yizhou! The final battle of unification was launched.●⌒,

When the news came out, Xiliang was vibrating and Yizhou was vibrating.

On the way to Xiliang, Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the people who were sowing in spring. Every person had a smile on his face and his eyes were filled with infinite longing for the future.

"This is all brought to them by the virtuous son-in-law." Cao Cao laughed and said, "If the virtuous son-in-law had not improved the farming method and doubled the income from farming, how could the people eat as much as they are now?"

Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "Even if there are thousands of benefits, you must have a leader with great determination and courage to order promotion. My father-in-law is under the greatest pressure and is resisted by the gentry in the world. My father-in-law is the one who has made the greatest contribution."

"Haha, I am not a very good person who is very fond of merit. There is no need to flatter the son-in-law." He said this, but his face was filled with a smile. The king likes to be flattered by his ministers, and Cao Cao is no exception.

After a month of marching, Cao Cao had led his army to the border of the Wei River, facing the Xiliang cavalry across the river.

"It seems we have to find a way to cross the river." Facing the wide Wei River, Cao Cao stroked his long beard and turned his head to ask, "Does the son-in-law have a good idea?"

Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "The weather, everyone is in me, but the geographical advantage is hard to say before it is clearly discovered." He paused: "My father-in-law can summon people to understand the terrain of this place and make a decision after taking control of the terrain."

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded and ordered the entire army to set up camp on the spot, and then asked the local officials for questioning.

Cao Cao is much stronger than when he fought in the Western Expedition of Han Sui in history. I don’t know how many times he was. One hundred thousand cavalry alone is not comparable in history. In addition, his strong civil and military affairs, crossing the river is not a big problem for Cao Cao. He used some strategies and took seven days to successfully lead his army across the Wei River, resulting in Han Sui and Ma Chao being able to defend without any danger. The rest must really rely on strength.

Seeing that Cao Cao had crossed the Wei River, Han Sui and Ma Chao were extremely nervous and immediately summoned all the soldiers who could fight to prepare for war.

The day after crossing the river, Cao Cao sent a letter to Han Sui, inviting Han Sui to answer in front of the two armies the next day. Because Cao Cao's tone was very polite, he asked the messenger to leave the Xiliang military camp safely.

The two armies fought and did not kill the envoys. However, at this time, not many people believed in that style. It would be fine if they were good to say it, but if they were arrogant, they would be very likely to be killed. For example, when fighting the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao sent Sun Quan a letter of surrender, and took the messenger Sun Quan sent a piece of blank paper. It means: fight, stop talking nonsense.

Then this unlucky messenger was killed by Cao Cao. It was so unfair!

Since Cao Cao was good at speaking, the next day, the two armies were separated by the sides. Cao Cao and Han Sui stepped forward one after another, laughing and talking about the past in Luoyang that year. It was already a few decades ago. Han Sui was also an old person. It was rare to meet an old acquaintance. When talking about the old news, he couldn't help but feel emotion and chatted with Cao Cao for a while.

After chatting for about an hour, Ma Chao was shocked and suspicious. Seeing that the time was almost right, Cao Cao clasped his fists at Han Sui and said, "Brother Wenyou, you and me have been friends for many years. I don't want to fight with Brother Wenyou, but Cao is about to unify the world. But this battle is necessary. I hope Brother Wenyou can see the situation clearly and follow the heavens. If Liangzhou is very lucky, the world will be very lucky."

Han Sui remained silent.

"Cao knows that Wen's difficulties are not there!" Cao Cao said, "Cao will leave ten days for Wen's brother. Ten days later, I hope Wen's brother will give Cao an answer. If Wen's brother asks his brother to follow the heavens, Cao will never treat Wen's brother unfairly. Wan Wangwen asks his brother to put the people of the world first and the descendants of the Han family first."

Cao Cao's last words shocked Han Sui. He looked at Cao Cao deeply, and bowed his fists: "Meng De's kindness will definitely consider it seriously. Whether it succeeds or not, there will be a reply within ten days."

Cao Cao held his fists and bowed, and Han Sui returned to his own battle.

When Han Sui returned to his original formation, Ma Chao immediately stepped forward and asked: "What did your uncle say to Cao Cao?"

"It's nothing." Han Sui shook his head, unwilling to say more. He really had to think about Cao Cao's suggestions seriously.

Now Cao Cao only has Liangzhou and Yizhou to unify the world. Although Yizhou has mountains and rivers, he still trapped himself in it and was unable to get out. Sooner or later, he was forced by Cao Cao. Liangzhou was crossed by Cao Cao and was blocked by the Wei River. Without the obstruction of the immortals, he could only rely on his hard power to distinguish the level. But it is obvious that Cao Cao's 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry were well-equipped soldiers of a hundred battles, very powerful! The entire Xiliang Man had only more than 100,000 cavalry, and the equipment was very poor. If you really fight, you don't have to think about the consequences.

Moreover, Cao Cao's last words were too powerful. Han Sui was old and had a good life in just a few years, but what about his descendants? If he made a mistake in making decisions and affected his descendants, how could he face his descendants in the face of the nine fountains?

After Han Sui left with great worries, Ma Chao's face was unstable. Ma Chao's plan was not very good and his political mind was not very good, but he was very suspicious and vigilant about Han Sui. The coalition was not good and uneven. When encountering something, it was easy to fight on their own. In history, Cao Cao used a relatively clumsy divisive strategy to split the Han-Ma coalition, which was to see this point.

Because of Cao Cao and Han Sui’s “Agreement”, the two sides did not start a war for three days, but Cao Cao sent a letter to Han Sui on the third day. Unlike in history, this letter was not a letter changed by Tutu, but a war report.

When Han Sui saw this battle report, he sighed weakly and took the initiative to find Ma Chao.

Ma Chao just learned that Han Sui had received a letter from Cao Cao. He was shocked and puzzled, but when he saw Han Sui coming to the door on his own initiative, he was shocked: "What's the matter with uncle?"

Han Sui sighed and handed the battle report in his hand to Ma Chao. After Ma Chao read the battle report, he was silent like Han Sui.

There are only eight words on the battle report: Liu Zhang sacrifices the city and Yizhou is pacified.

Originally, Cao Cao wanted to write a scattered letter to Han Sui according to Zuo Xiaoyou's plan, but not long ago, Xiahou Yuan sent a messenger to Chang'an and immediately sent it to the military camp where Cao Cao was.

When Cao Cao received the battle report, he immediately smiled at the sky: "God helps me!"

Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the battle report, which described in detail the situation of conquering Yizhou. It was actually very simple. When Xiahou Yuan led his army into Hanzhong, he fought with Zhang Lu from Hanzhong, and then won in a daze.

The reason why he was confused was that Zhang Lu had originally relied on the geographical advantage and faced Cao's army condescendingly for a while, but perhaps it was really God blessed Cao Cao. A group of wild deer jumped out of Zhang Lu's camp, causing Zhang Lu's army to mutiny. Then Xiahou Yuan tried to solve the problem, but he did not resist at all and defeated the camp.

The winning is a mess.

After that, it was simple. Zhang Lu's level was gone, so he could only surrender in the county. Xiahou Yuan won the battle and everything went very smoothly.

Faced with the attacks on both sides of water and land, Liu Zhang, a candid scoundrel, could no longer withstand. Under the persuasion of Zhang Song and other surrendered factions, he chose to not resist and welcome Cao's army into Chengdu and open the city phenomenon.

It took only twenty-five days from Xiahou Yuan's entry into Hanzhong to Liu Zhang's surrender. Then Xiahou Yuan wrote a letter to report the results of the battle and sent it to Cao Cao, which took another seven days.

After thirty-two days, Yizhou was pacified. Now, except for Xiliang, Cao Cao has conquered the world. He will be unified by just waiting for Xiliang to be regained.

As the saying goes, man's calculations are worse than heaven's calculations. Cao Cao did not expect Xiahou Yuan to pacify Yizhou so easily and quickly, so the letter that should have been changed became a war report sent by Cao Cao.

Seeing this battle report, not only Han Sui was silent, but Ma Chao was also silent.

Jin Ma Chao, who was not afraid of the world, knew that things were not easy to deal with, not to mention Han Sui and the civil and military officials of the manhead.

Han Sui sighed and said, "Although surrender is not what the warriors do, we must also think about ourselves and our descendants. I have an old age with Cao Cao. If you and I lead the army to surrender, he will treat us well. Meng Qi think about it carefully."

After saying that, Han Sui left Ma Chao's camp and returned to his tent.

Han Sui was cunning and knew how to do it in his own interests. In the current situation, he knew that surrender was the best choice, and he was almost seventy years old and had few years of life. It was time to make plans for his life.

Ma Chao is now in his thirties and is less than forty years old. He is in his prime and strong position. He asked him to surrender before he could fight. To be honest, it is a bit difficult for him, a warrior.

But Han Sui was right. He didn't think about himself, but also thought about the Ma family. He couldn't just kill the Ma family and even exterminated him for his own selfishness.

Ma Chao was in a long hesitation and did not leave the camp for two days, which made his clan brother Ma Dai and his sister Ma Yunlu very worried.

"Brother." On the third day, Ma Yunlu broke into the handsome tent and faced Ma Chao, saying, "What are you worried about with your brother?"

Seeing his young and beautiful sister, Ma Chao sighed: "Submit, or not? This is a problem."

Ma Yunlu: “…”

After learning about the current situation Ma Yunlu was also a little crazy.

Surrender? Frustrated!

If you don't surrender, you'll probably die.

Between the aggrieved and the death of death, even Ma Yunlu, the general and tiger girl, was still shaking, not to mention that he had mastered the life and death of thousands of troops. Ma Chao, who commanded the first army, was so it was really difficult.

However, the two siblings did not seem to have been in a dilemma for long, because the next day, Cao Cao sent a letter to Ma Chao. After reading the content of the letter, Ma Chao's eyes changed when he looked at Ma Yunlu.

"Brother, what do I think?" Ma Yunlu was puzzled.
