As for why Cao Cao thought so, it was because he was Cao Mengde, and he was a superior, a lord. Don’t say that he was not wrong at all, even if he was wrong or a big mistake, he would never admit it in front of his subordinates. Because mistakes were always made by his subordinates, and as his lord, he was of course always right. This is what Cao Cao had always thought, and it was also an idea that he had never changed.

In the end, Cao Cao made a decision, "Since you all agree to divide the troops, then that's the case. Our army should divide the troops and advance to Anping Kingdom and Hejian!"

"The lord is wise!"

Everyone said in unison, and some of them understood that they had obviously thought of this as a lord, but they still had to use the words of everyone to say this. Of course, everyone was not used to it, but they knew their lords. So they all knew that this was their lords. If their style changed, they might not be their lords.

In the end, this matter was settled. Cao Cao sent Cao Ren and his team to lead 50,000 troops to attack Anping Kingdom, then attack Hejian, and finally heading north to Youzhou. Don’t think that 50,000 troops are very few. Cao Cao’s plan is that Qingzhou will have troops from the Xiahou brothers, so in the end, there will definitely be 100,000 troops to attack Youzhou. Originally, with Cao Cao’s original intention, if there were no threat from the Liangzhou army, he would basically not divide his troops, but the current situation forced him to do so.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cao Cao divided his troops to attack Jizhou, in fact, in order to seize Youzhou. After Cao Ren and his friends got the order, they led their troops to set off soon. Cao Cao specially ordered Guo Huai to join them, because Guo Huai himself said that he was relatively subordinate to Jizhou and Youzhou, so Cao Cao asked him to go.

For Cao Ren and others, they also knew that soldiers are very fast. Now that they can capture Anping Kingdom and Hejian as soon as possible, the benefits to them are self-evident. They all know this, so of course they dare not neglect and quickly lead their troops.

After Cao Ren and his men left, Cao Cao also led his troops to Yecheng. For him, he must speed up his own process of seizing Jizhou. He knew from Guo Huainai that the Liangzhou army had already taken Gaoyi, so Ma Chao would probably lead his troops to Zhongshan Kingdom directly, so he would not be able to do so quickly if he didn't do it.

So Cao Cao also led his troops to Yecheng. But of course Yuan Shao would not let him do his wish easily. He had already sent heavy troops to station in Pingyang City in the eastern part of Yecheng, just to block Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army. As a result, Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army was stopped by the Jizhou Army in Pingyang City. It would be impossible not to stop at this time. After all, Pingyang City is the only place where Cao Cao's route westward to Yecheng. Only after he took this city can he successfully reach Yecheng and fight with the Jizhou Army.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cao Cao led his troops to Yecheng, but was blocked by Pingyang City, and Ma Chao's side was just finished working on Gaoyi City and was on the way to Zhongshan.

Ma Chao left Wu Yi in Gaoyi and had 5,000 troops. This not only allowed him to station in Gaoyi, but also asked him to take down other counties in Changshan. As for the people, there were not a small number. Before, in Zhending, Deng Xian had 5,000 troops, not to mention in Jingxing and Ma Yan, there were still many surrendered soldiers in Jizhou. So with the three of them, Ma Chao believed that he would definitely be able to control all the county towns in Changshan.

After Ma Chao had all arranged it, he led the remaining nearly 90,000 troops to Zhongshan. Here, Ma Chao wanted to seize the two cities in Zhongshan. The first one was naturally Zhongshan Wuji, and the second one was Lunu City in Zhongshan.

As for why these two are necessary, the reason is actually very simple. Zhongshan Wuji and Ma Chao were going there for a family or more precisely, for a person. Lu Nu from Zhongshan is the capital of Zhongshan and the center of the entire Zhongshan Kingdom, so of course it is a place that must be taken.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ma Chao led the army to Wuji City. For him, he didn't take Wuji seriously at all. Really, because there were no people here that he valued to defend the city, and the soldiers guarding were not tens of thousands, so he had anything to see.

What he values ​​is the Zhen family in Jizhou, which is in Wuji, Zhongshan. He is not very interested in their family. But he is indeed very interested in Zhen Mi and Ma Chao. Of course, he is so busy that he can't even take care of his wife. So although he is interested in Zhen Mi, he is not so close to him.

Ma Chao is so old now, and now Zhen Mi's age, if Ma Chao remembers correctly, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Of course, as such a famous person and a beauty, Ma Chao is naturally very interested in taking a look and getting to know him. But the most important thing is that he has some plans. So he has to talk to the head of the Zhen family.

Ma Chao knew that it was actually a good time now. Although Zhen Mi and Yuan Xi had an engagement, it was now in the war in Jizhou, so the two of them had no time to get married, so they had already brought the army. Ma Chao thoughtfully said, this is God's will, and he was determined to win Wuji, and no one could stop it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Liangzhou army was approaching, making some of the people in Wuji City anxious like ants on a hot pan. Really, especially the Zhen family, although they didn't know the specific intention of Ma Chao's troops to Wuji, they also vaguely felt that it seemed to be related to their own family.

After all, no one is a fool. Lu Nu from Zhongshan Kingdom, needless to say, it is a place that the Liangzhou army must win. But Wuji, except that it is very close to Changshan, seems to have no special place. So people have to doubt that Ma Chao's intention of leading the army to put the border in front of the border, what does he value Wuji?

So Wuji's Zhen family had to be upset. If you want to say that Wuji has something special, it is that this place is the base camp of his family and the location of his own tribe, so there are so many others. So many people are afraid and don't know what Ma Chao's intention is. If it is a good thing, then it's pretty good, but if it's necessary...

After all, Ma Chao has a stain on it. In Hanzhong, he slaughtered aristocratic families, so when he appeared like this, it would be worrying. If he provoked him, the consequences would be the same as the Yang family back then. After all, everyone knows that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi of Fufeng were definitely a ruthless person. Just look at him who led the troops to slaughter the Qiang. If a person is not ruthless, can he be like that?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end, nothing unexpected happened. Wuji's guard was to open the city and surrender to the Liangzhou army. Of course, he was like this after the Zhen family in Wuji City. Otherwise, he would not dare to open the city gate easily. It has to be said that in Wuji, the Zhen family is better than their lord Yuan Shao. After all, it is "a county magistrate is worse than the current management." Basically, this is true everywhere.

Ma Chao was naturally happy when the other party opened the city to surrender directly. Wuji led his troops in the morning, and just at night, the sky was getting dark, and the other party had already surrendered. Now the officials in the city are ranked first, but they are all in their own tents. As for why this is the case, it is better to say that if you turn the rudder at the wind, you will be old foxes, but you will be very capable of turning the rudder at the wind. Knowing that you are now big, you should be very attentive in front of you, for fear that you don’t know.

Ma Chao just smiled in his heart when this. At this time, all the officials of all sizes in Wuji City arrived, but he had to see the person he was not here. Of course, he was not in a hurry to see him. He would not see him today, but he would definitely see him tomorrow.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, I heard Ma Chao say, "Everyone, our army has just arrived in Wuji today, so we need to rest. Tomorrow, I will lead my troops into Wuji tomorrow. Everyone, go back and rest first!"

When everyone heard this, they originally invited Ma Chao to rest in Wuji tonight, but they declined. However, since they said that, they could not force it. After all, now that they are in a big way, they have to listen to what they are not. What is this? They are talking about and they basically won’t pay attention to it.

Then Wuji ordered him to say, "What the General of the Cavalry said is very much. The army should rest here tonight. Tomorrow, we will make a decision to leave the city in person and welcome your army into the city!"

After Wuji's order finished speaking, the county magistrate and the county magistrate quickly agreed. There was no way. If it were someone else, nearly 90,000 troops would be outside Wuji City, and they would have the same face. Who made their side worse than others? They didn't think that the county and state soldiers of less than 10,000 people could withstand the fierce attack of the Liangzhou army. Maybe they could withstand a day or two, but after that, wouldn't it be better to let someone break the city? So instead of letting someone break the city, it would be better to surrender as soon as possible.

At least they all know that the earlier they surrender, the more benefits they can get. At least before the two armies start a war, they surrender themselves, so it is definitely much better than surrendering after the war or being captured.

In fact, it cannot be said that they have no confidence in their guards, but I don’t know where this confidence comes from. After all, it doesn’t mean that no one can use less than ten thousand county soldiers to defend Wuji, but such people are definitely not in Wuji, and there are no such people in Wuji City. So if they do not surrender at this time, what else can they do? People are for their own sake. Whatever the guards and the Jizhou Army are not as important as their own interests, right?
