Liu Ye listened very seriously, but at this moment he pretended to be disapprovingly.

"General Ma is loyal and proud. It is rare to see the difference in military ordnance, but it is a generalization. Although it cannot be said that combat power has nothing to do with military ordnance, it cannot be purely determined by military ordnance, and it is related to people and horses. The first priority is people. Among people, the first priority is general. I heard that when Sun Ce first established cavalry, he mainly used the cavalry knights in Guanzhong led by Qin Mu, and later the Xiliang knights led by Yan Xing, and then the Central Plains people were mainly people. Could it be that the cavalry ability of the Central Plains people is still above Liangliang? If we talk about horses, most of the war horses used by Sun Ce came from Youzhou and the small half came from Liangzhou, how can we compare with our army with Liangzhou horses? Among the three items, our army has two advantages, one is insufficient, and has both military strength advantages. How can we not win?"

After Liu Ye finished speaking, he looked at Ma Chao meaningfully. "General Ma, I think you are worried about not only the weapons, but also the generals, right? I know that you and Yan Xing have fought for several years, and although they have their own victories and losses, they are even slightly inferior. However, you are not facing Yan Xing alone, but also Marquis Wen and General Zhao. Not to mention anything else, Wen Yuan did not lose the upper hand in duel with Sun Ce back then, so the general doesn't have to worry."

Ma Chao suddenly turned red and shouted loudly: "Why did you say this? Chao is more than him in opposition to Yan Xing?"

Liu Ye pretended to be surprised. "Then why did Sun Ce leave Yan Xing but return by the general?"

"That's..." Ma Chao was speechless for a moment. "That's because Chaoxin was in the court and resigned resigned resigned. King Wu... Sun Ce had to let go."

"Is that so?" Liu Ye "suddenly realized" and bowed his hands repeatedly. "It seems that my information was wrong. I misunderstood General Ma. I am ashamed, ashamed."

Ma Chao was angry. When he heard Liu Ye’s voice was wrong, he immediately asked: “Wait, what kind of information did you receive?”

"General Hai Han, because of the information, it is inevitable that there will be any errors. I apologize to General Ma..."

"How dare Chao blame Ling Jun?" Ma Chao lowered his face. "Your Majesty said just now that since you are seeking victory in danger, you should be one with the king and his subjects, and work together. If Your Majesty listened to Ling Jun's wrong information and suspected Chao's loyalty, what else should you talk about the unity of the king and his subjects? Ling Jun, please tell me clearly to express my feelings."

The emperor also advised: "Lingjun, Ma Qing is right. It is a misunderstanding, and it is better to speak out, so as not to leave any grudges, suspicion of each other, and to mislead major events, which will also bring shame to Ma Qing."

When Ma Chao heard the word "shamed", he became even more annoyed and thought to himself, could Sun Ce be angry that I would leave and deliberately arranged me? The emperor and Liu Ye knew that they were hiding it from me. No wonder he wanted to find Zhao Yunlai to lead the Yulin Cavalry with me. He urged Liu Ye to speak quickly. Liu Ye shirked for a while, then pretended to be unfair and told the truth about the information he received.

The information was originally heard of, and it was mixed with the truth and falsehood. Liu Ye had to solve Ma Chao's fence, so he naturally had to put some strong medicine. Even if there was a flaw in the future, he would not hesitate to cover Ma Chao first. This battle was a chance for the emperor to have few, and Ma Chao was indispensable, so he had to inspire him to do his best. He said the pre-prepared rhetoric one by one, which was reasonable, and Ma Chao had to believe it.

According to Liu Ye, Sun Ce always valued Yan Xing more. It was not that Yan Xing had resigned, but was kept by Sun Ce. In order to retain Yan Xing, Sun Ce cultivated Han Yin at all costs. During Guandu, he asked Han Yin to fight in the end. He originally wanted Han Yin to pick up some credit and give him a generous gift so that Han Yin had enough strength to return to Liangzhou and steadily suppress the Ma family in exchange for Han Sui to give up Yan Xing. Unfortunately, there was a mistake in the middle. Han Yin died in Guandu, and Sun Ce had to pay a lot of money to appease Han Sui. In contrast, when Ma Chao left Sun Ce, Sun Ce did not give them any benefits, but instead forced Ma Chao to marry his sister to Pang De.

"By the way, I heard that Sun Ce valued Yan Xing because he had outstanding features in cavalry warfare and wrote the history of cavalry warfare at Sun Ce's order? I heard that Taishi Ci defeated the Xianbei people in the northern border, and used the cavalry tactics summarized by Yan Xing, and even the armored cavalry was the first to advocate. Is there such a thing?"

Liu Ye said it was true and false, but Ma Chao became more and more serious as he listened. He was already worried about Sun Ce's refusal to give him a discount price, but now he has become 70% or 80% of the rumors. When he heard about the cavalry war history, he was so angry that he finally got a little rationality.

"It turns out that Yan Xing is so smart, I underestimate him." Ma Chao turned around and looked at the emperor, bowed his hand, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am not talented, I dare to ask the leader of the army to be the pioneer, defeat Yan Xing for Your Majesty, and compete with you."

"Ma Qing, during the war, don't act voluntarily. If there is any loss, it's a pity. Let's sit down and talk."

Ma Chao was angry. "Your Majesty also thinks that his ministers are not as good as Yan Xing?"

Somehow, Lu Bu suddenly woke up. Seeing Ma Chao shouting at the emperor, he subconsciously jumped up and shouted: "Bold horses, dare to be arrogant in front of His Majesty?" Before he finished speaking, his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife. He was one of the people he fought with Ma Chao many times, and most of them had the upper hand. He was one of the people Ma Chao was quite afraid of. He was angry at this moment and was even more powerful.

Ma Chao was shocked and suddenly felt fear in his heart. He took a step back and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, causing a cold sweat. Then he realized that he was rude in front of the emperor, so he quickly bowed and apologized to the emperor.

The emperor was in his heart, helped Ma Chao up, comforted him with kind words, and asked Ma Chao for advice. Ma Chao had already regarded Yan Xing as an imaginary enemy at this moment, and even Sun Ce became an opponent. Naturally, he knew everything and said everything. The emperor and Liu Ye gained a lot, and Zhao Yun and others felt that they benefited a lot, and at the same time they were under great pressure.

If what Ma Chao said is true, then the six or seven thousand cavalry led by Yan Xing and Chen Dao are really not easy to deal with. Not only that, they also need to consider a question: Ma Chao has been away from Sun Ce for several years, and what he knows may not be accurate. For example, Ma Chao is not very clear about the number of armored cavalry. Judging from Sun Ce's development over the years, Yan Xing's strength may be stronger. The most typical example is Taishi Ci's record in Liaodong.

The emperor felt more and more afraid. If Liu Ye hadn't used tricks to motivate Ma Chao to tell the details he knew, he would have used common sense to speculate that Yan Xing's strength had a great error and had a hasty fight, and his chances of winning were very slim. Not to mention reversing the situation, even whether he could escape unscathed was a problem.

Liu Ye also felt it was a bit tricky. Although he didn't show any expression, he was really nervous. However, it was still beneficial to dispel the emperor's idea of ​​underestimating the enemy. He calmed down and brought the topic back to Zhao Yun's two issues.

"General Ma's worries and General Zhao's first problem are the same as those of the same path. Both sides' combat powers are different. These 6,000 and seven cavalry are not only the opponents we have to face, but also an opportunity. If we can win it, it will not only inspire morale, but also take its weapons for us to use it and enhance our combat power. You are all masters of cavalry warfare, and I hope you will give advice and defeat the powerful enemy together."

Lu Bu and others agreed one after another. First, they should not be careless in the face of life and death; second, they should not give up in the face of heavy rewards. When they think of the six or seven thousand sets of weapons, especially the unknown amount of armored cavalry equipment, even Dong Yue was a little ready to move.

Liu Ye waited for a while, and after everyone calmed down, he continued: "How to fight to win, please consider it first and then communicate. Now I will answer General Zhao's second question: how to solve the problem of food and grass."

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Ye sighed. "To be honest, this problem cannot be solved."

"Can't solve it?" Dong Yue, who had not spoken, cried out in a flash. Hearing his voice, Lu Bu and Ma Chao noticed that there was another person next to him, and turned to look over. Dong Yue was panicked and almost fell off Hu Zu. He hurriedly said, "Then...what should Ling Jun deal with it?"

Lu Bu and Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Liu Ye, and were also a little anxious. If this problem cannot be solved, then why should I beat it? People can not eat one meal or two, so they will not starve to death, but horses cannot eat one meal. Not only do they have to eat, but also have to eat the ingredients, otherwise the horsepower is insufficient, let alone running, even walking will be a problem.

Liu Ye waited for a while before saying, "The problem of food and grass is indeed difficult to solve, but it is not a solution."

Liu Ye said, looking at Lu Bu. "Wenhou, is the wine in Yanzhou good? Are the people of Yanzhou enthusiastic?"

Lu Bu was worried when he suddenly heard this sentence, but he didn't react for a moment, and then he was embarrassed again and didn't know how to answer. Liu Ye continued, "Do you know why the people in Yanzhou are so enthusiastic?"

Lu Bu barely reacted. "Well, of course, Your Majesty came in person, and the people of Yanzhou welcomed the king's army."

"That's right, the people of Yanzhou hate Sun Ce and are eagerly waiting for the king's army. Now that Your Majesty has arrived in person, the people of Yanzhou are excited. Sun Ce robbed the property of aristocratic families on the grounds of suppressing annexation. No matter rich or poor, as long as the land exceeds a certain amount, they will be taken away. The middle class or above is like destroying the family, so he refused to follow and resisted to the death. However, Cao Ang and Yuan Tan were defeated repeatedly, disappointing the people of Yanzhou. Now that Your Majesty is here, there are famous generals like Wen Hou, so they took out the best wine to welcome the king's army. This is their last hope. As long as Your Majesty can win and let them keep the industry, they can offer the last grain of grain and the last drop of wine in their family for everyone to enjoy. Otherwise, once they fall into Sun Ce's hands, they will not only not be able to protect these grains and fine wines, but will also lose all their money and have nothing."

Liu Ye raised his hand, counted one county after another, and finally said: "Narrow of Dingtao, there are six counties in Jiyin, north of Jiyin, and fifteen counties in Dongjun, totaling twenty-one counties. Not to mention, one county supplies our army with two days of food, and we can also support it for more than a month. But there is a premise, that is, you are united with Your Majesty and move forward together, you can only win, not lose. If you win, we will become stronger and stronger. Not only can we break the siege of Dingtao and Changyi, but we will also have the opportunity to attack Yuzhou, defeat Sun Ce, recover the Central Plains, and revive the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty is the lord of Zhongxing, and you will be famous ministers of Zhongxing and share wealth. If you lose, we will have nothing and may even die in Yanzhou."

After saying that, Liu Ye glanced at Lu Bu. Lu Bu understood and immediately stood up and folded his fists, and took the lead in expressing his opinion. "I hope that only Your Majesty will follow the lead, and will never move forward. Defeat Sun Ce and revive the Han Dynasty."
