Ma Chao was furious. Lu Yi put him alongside Lu Bu and Liu Bei, which was so heartbreaking.

What kind of guy is Lu Bu? He killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, which are all bad reputations for killing the master, especially killing Ding Yuan, which is an indelible stain in his life. Ma Chao has always looked down on Lu Bu, and there is a big reason for this. What's more, they are not in harmony and have fought many times, but he has not gained any advantage. He has never had a good impression of Lu Bu, so he is willing to be with Lu Bu.

Although Liu Bei did not kill his old master, he was notoriously capricious and was famous for his volatility. When he was by Sun Ce, he despised Liu Bei as a human being. Liu Bei was granted the title of King of Zhongshan. He secretly said so many sour and strange words. Now he has become a villain who has repeated the same repetition as Liu Bei. Then those words in the past were scolding himself?

This boy named Lu was too toxic, why didn't he see it at that time? Ma Chao was furious and raised the iron spear in his hand, pointed at Lu Yi, and shouted loudly. "Lu Yi, don't show off his verbalism, can you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

Lu Yi ignored him at all, reached out and pointed his hand, two city-guarding crossbows aimed at Ma Chao. A giant arrow shot in front of Ma Chao's horse three feet in front of Ma Chao's horse. The arrow went deep into the soil, and the tail of the arrow buzzed and trembled, which made the war horse neighed long. It was not under Ma Chao's control and took two steps backwards.

Ma Chao was scared and sweated in a cold sweat and dared not be arrogant anymore. At such a distance, the city-guarding crossbow was enough to penetrate his body. No matter what armor he had worn, it was useless. This arrow was not a failure to shoot, but abiding by the challenging rules and giving him a warning. If he didn't leave, the next arrow would kill him.

With Lu Yi's vicious nature, it's not that he can't do it.

Failed to challenge, Ma Chao had to tie Zhan Shu to the giant arrow and returned in disappointment. He was so angry that he wished that the emperor would attack the city now, grabbed Lu Yi, pulled out his tongue, and chopped him into meat sauce. He naturally added fuel to the emperor's eloquence. He spoke more rudely than Lu Yi, and he was even more heartbroken. Even he himself was surprised at his eloquence.

The emperor was both ashamed and annoyed. Lu Yi compared him to a dog of a betrayal family, which was really...so appropriate. He was just a dog of a betrayal family. He led a large army to fight for thousands of miles. Luoyang was clearly right in front of him, but he didn't dare to advance. He took 10,000 cavalry to Jizhou and Yanzhou again, but there was still no arrow. Now Sun Ce was in Pingyu, only a few hundred miles apart. The opportunity for a battle he longed for was right in front of him, but he didn't know if he could seize it.

According to the current situation, he is likely to sigh as if he is in Henan.

Although the emperor was young, he was scheming after all, but his face changed, but he didn't say anything. Lu Xiaohuan behind him exploded, kicked out, rushed to Ma Chao, and shouted sternly: "Ma Chao, I, Aweng, have no grudges and no grudges. Why did he insult me, Aweng? It must be your public revenge..."

Ma Chao was angry and didn't have any good expressions to Lu Xiaohuan. "If the noble man doesn't believe it, you will know if you go to the city to ask."

Lu Xiaohuan glared at Ma Chao fiercely, turned his horse's head and galloped away. However, she did not go directly to the city and rushed towards Lu Bu's position. Liu Ye saw it and complained, secretly regretting it. If he had known that it would be the result, he would not have stimulated Ma Chao. This was a brainless stupid creature. Lu Yi was obviously a provocation method, and you can't see it?

Lu Yi was really cruel. It was not enough to scold Ma Chao, and even Lu Bu scolded him. There were only a few generals around the emperor, and he almost scolded him. Fortunately, Zhao Yun was steady, if he was the same as Lu Xiaohuan, he would be completely furious.

"Your Majesty, although Lu Gong is young, his mouth is very vicious."

The emperor smiled bitterly. "I deserve to be the one who grew up next to Sun Ce. He is close to Mo Hei." He sighed. "Zi Yang, what does this Lu Gong mean? Will you really go out of the city to fight?"

Liu Ye pondered: "It is not impossible for a young man to be energetic and want to make great contributions. Or maybe Sun Ce has arrived nearby, they took the initiative to invite the battle to create opportunities for Sun Ce. In short, this son should not be underestimated, Your Majesty should be careful in fighting."

The emperor turned his head to look south, and swallowed it back after saying something. If Sun Ce had arrived nearby, I was afraid that Xun Yu would have come too. If he knew that I led his troops to Yanzhou, he would not know what to think. Alas, will he still disappoint Lingjun after all? Although Lu Yi was rude, he was telling the truth.

While speaking, Lu Bu and Lu Xiaohuan came side by side and shouted at Ma Chao. Ma Chao was not angry either, so he asked Lu Bu to ask Lu Gong directly, but there was a false statement, only I was asking. Seeing Ma Chao like this, Lu Bu had already believed it, and did not go to the city to ask, but directly asked the emperor for a fight.

Emperor and Liu Ye were also determined to fight, but they knew that the troops of both sides were equal. If they were to attack the city, according to the schematic diagram drawn by Zhu Huan, they had almost no chance of victory. If they wanted to win, only Zhu Huan and Lu agreed to leave the city and then fight. With the advantage of cavalry, they might be able to fight.

The emperor sent someone to invite Dong Zhao to discuss the war. Dong Zhao read the war letter and agreed with Liu Ye's opinion. Zhu Huan took the initiative to seek war. Although he was eager to make contributions, it was not ruled out that Sun Ce had already arrived nearby. Sun Ce's central army was the most elite, and Sun Ce was brave and good at seizing opportunities. If they were attacked by Sun Ce during the battle with Zhu Huan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The most urgent task is to find out Sun Ce's location and then decide how to fight.

Dong Zhao also reminded the emperor that although Sun Ce's central army was strong, his number of cavalry was limited, most of which were already in the city, with a maximum of 1,000 cavalry around him, and there were no famous generals. Yan Xing, Chen Dao, Wen Chou and others were all in Dingtao. Instead of fighting against Zhu Huan, it was better to attack Sun Ce himself with cavalry, with a greater chance of victory. Of course, the premise of doing this was that Sun Ce was singled out. If he lived in the city or had central infantry traveled with him, it would be meaningless to rush to attack.

The emperor was very disappointed. How could Sun Ce leave behind the infantry and use cavalry to act lightly? This is simply impossible.

Liu Ye lay on the map and looked at it for a long time, shaking his head. He told the emperor that there are still opportunities. The most common way to go from Jianye to Dingtao is to go on the water route. In summer, he usually goes to Hefei. In winter, because the water is shallow and the fertilizer will stop flowing, and Sun Ce may go to Zhongdu. Zhongdu water is high in the south and low in the north, and it is very convenient to go with the water. Moreover, Zhongdu just dredged it not long ago, and Sun Ce has no reason not to leave.

At least the possibility of infantry walking on Zhongdu Waterway is very high.

The question now is whether Sun Ce is walking with the infantry or acting alone with the cavalry. If he is acting alone, which road would he take? Although the cavalry is fast, the combat range cannot exceed 200 miles. If it exceeds 200 miles, one is that the whereabouts are difficult to hide and the target is difficult to capture. The other is that the marching distance is too far and the horsepower is insufficient, which will affect the combat power and cannot achieve the desired results, and it may suffer the consequences of oneself.

As for Sun Ce when he arrived in Pingyu, Liu Ye basically refused to accept it before he received further news. If Sun Ce wanted to rescue Dingtao, he should come to Suiyang and take a detour to Pingyu. Unless he doesn't want to join the war, he just wants to wait and see.

The emperor suddenly said, "Ma Qing, have you participated in the Battle of Rencheng in the fifth year of Chuping and the Battle of Guandu in the sixth year of Chuping, right?"

Ma Chao was stunned and nodded embarrassedly.

"Then are you familiar with the terrain nearby?"

Ma Chao immediately understood what the emperor meant. "I'm very familiar! If Your Majesty wants to attack, I'm willing to be the pioneer."

"What vanguard are you?" Lu Bu shouted: "You should protect Your Majesty with Zilong and not leave easily. Besides, are you Sun Ce's opponent?"

"you……"

The emperor raised his hand and signaled Lu Bu and Ma Chao to silence, and said, "In your judgment, if Sun Ce has thousands of riders around him, how many riders should we have the chance of winning? Is the Yulin rider enough?"

Ma Chao thought about it carefully and shook his head. "Your Majesty, the Yulin Cavalry is an elite, enough to be the personal guard cavalry around Sun Ce, but Sun Ce has more than ten attendant knights around him, all of whom are real masters. If only the Yulin Cavalry can fight, even if it can defeat the personal guard cavalry, it will be difficult to intercept Sun Ce and these people, and they may be killed by them. In my opinion, at least 500 cavalry must be prepared to have a chance of winning."

"Then please ask Mr. Wen to select thousands of cavalry from the Bingzhou cavalry and act with the Yulin cavalry." The emperor clenched his fists and smashed them hard on the table. "The remaining cavalry stayed in Dingtao, commanded by Gong Dong, and fought against Zhu Huan, covering everyone's eyes and ears."

Dong Zhao was shocked. "Does Your Majesty want to go to the danger personally? Never..."

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. This is our only chance to win, and we must not miss it." The emperor shook his head slowly. "Dong Gong, Sun Ce has a strong power. Once he led the central infantry and cavalry to Dingtao, we have no advantage in terms of military strength or money and food. Only by concentrating the most elite knights, striving to attack with one blow, and I should also defeat him with this."

Dong Zhao wanted to say something else, but Liu Ye gave him a wink and shook his head. Dong Zhao swallowed the words he rushed to his mouth. He also knew that the emperor was talking about the truth. They no longer had the confidence to seek stability. Only by using surprise troops could they win. Attacking Sun Ce with two thousand elite cavalry was almost the only possible chance to win. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have proposed it just now, but he didn't expect the emperor to really accept it.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion." Liu Ye said.

The emperor turned his head to look at him, frowned slightly. Liu Ye was his think tank. He did not want Liu Ye to raise objections at this time and shake the morale of the army. Liu Ye gave a look calmly, so that the emperor could feel at ease. He said slowly: "Using troops to be the Qi Zheng, and attacking Sun Ce is the Qi Zheng, and attacking Dingtao is the Zheng. If Zhu Huan dares to go out of the city, it is the best. If Zhu Huan dares to go out of the city, then ask Mr. Dong to attack Dingtao City at all costs, and send more scouts to inquire about the news. Your Majesty and the Essence Cavalry to accumulate energy. Once the fighter appears, the tiger will rush to attack Sun Ce and severely attack Sun Ce, and then set the Central Plains in one battle."

The emperor thought about it and thought this plan was feasible, so he looked at Dong Zhao again. "What do you think Dong Gong thinks?"

Dong Zhao stroked his beard. "I thought it was OK. But if there is no chance, please ask Your Majesty to be serious and retreat to Puyang. You must not force it to do so."

The emperor nodded and looked at Lu Bu and others. Lu Bu and Ma Chao agreed. Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. The emperor was very satisfied and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, please prepare separately. If the heaven does not abandon the Han Dynasty and bless me, I will be successful. We should share peace with you. Draw pictures, create wives and children, and be rich and honorable. It is natural."

"Yes!" Everyone replied with a loud bang.
