"Let Ma Teng attack Yizhou?"

Liu Feng repeated Guo Jia's words while also thinking about the feasibility of this strategy.

Seeing that Liu Feng was still thinking, Guo Jia explained:"Ma Teng's alliance with our army was carried out secretly, and there was not much. People know.

Therefore, letting Ma Teng attack Yizhou, once successful, would be equivalent to opening a second stronghold outside the defense lines of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu.

Moreover, this stronghold is very hidden and the other princes don't know about it at all, so no one will pay special attention to it.

After our army consolidates the power of Qingzhou and Jizhou, if we want to continue attacking south or west, we can send troops from Yizhou at the same time. Under attack from both sides, we can easily break through their defense lines. After Liu

Feng heard Guo Jia's complete plan, he immediately felt that this plan was feasible, so he immediately wrote a letter inviting Ma Teng to attack Yizhou and fully informed Guo Jia of his plan.

After writing the letter, Liu Feng Feng found a red-blooded dragon rider and asked him to ride a golden eagle to bring this letter to Si Li and hand it over to Ma Teng. The golden eagle was very fast. In less than two hours, it had flown to Sizhou and asked the man to The Red Blood Dragon Cavalry soldier handed Liu Feng's letter to Ma Teng.

After Ma Teng saw what Liu Feng wrote in the letter, without any hesitation, he immediately appointed General Pang De as commander-in-chief and led an army of 50,000 people to attack south. Hanzhong County in Yizhou.

The reason why Ma Teng agreed to Liu Feng's request without hesitation was not only because of Ma Chao's relationship, but more importantly because he felt Liu Feng's trust from Liu Feng's letter. and sincerity.

In fact, attacking Yizhou has no special benefits for Ma Teng. He has just captured Youfufeng and Jingzhaoyin counties, and he can rest for a while to consolidate the rule of the two counties.

And conquering Yizhou, In addition to allowing Ma Teng to expand his power, the biggest benefit is that it can help Liu Feng break through the defense line composed of the three major princes at a critical moment.

This is also Liu Feng's most fundamental purpose.

Although Ma Teng and Liu Feng have secretly formed an alliance, Ma Teng Teng did not have to follow Liu Feng in all his actions, and Liu Feng could have made up a reason to make Ma Teng think that capturing Yizhou would be of greater benefit to him.

But Liu Feng did not choose to deceive Ma Teng for his own convenience. Liu Feng told Ma Teng all the complete plans of himself and Guo Jia.

This sincerity moved Ma Teng. At the same time, Liu Feng told Ma Teng his battle plan, which showed that he had great trust in Ma Teng.

Otherwise, once Ma Teng knew about Liu Feng's plan and secretly informed other princes of the plan, or violated it in secret, which would cause huge losses to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng's trust in Ma Teng made Ma Teng feel that he was being misunderstood by Liu Feng. A true ally, not like Han Sui who only joined forces with Dao Yi for profit.of.

That's why without saying a word, he directly gave his most powerful general Pang De 50,000 troops and asked him to attack Hanzhong.

In fact, the reason why Liu Feng was able to trust Ma Teng without reservation and tell him all his plans was not just because Ma Chao served under him.

The main reason is that Liu Feng was reincarnated. Although the world's situation has changed, the character of each character will not change.

Therefore, Liu Feng knew Ma Teng's character and knew that he was a virtuous and loyal person who valued friendship very much. As long as he treated him with sincerity, he would definitely reciprocate with sincerity.

In addition, he had always wanted to regain the glory of his ancestor, General Fubo, Ma Yuan, and was very enthusiastic about the Han Dynasty. As the consort of the Han Dynasty, and with the status of vassal king, Ma Teng would not harm him.

That's why Liu Feng dared to tell Ma Teng the truth, which moved Ma Teng and fully cooperated with Liu Feng.

At this time, Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, was already old and sick, and had almost no involvement in the affairs of the state. Liu Zhang was weak and had no ability to suppress the big families in Yizhou.

Therefore, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong already had the idea of ​​separatism and self-reliance by taking advantage of the Five Pecks of Rice Cult. Although Liu Zhang knew this, he was unable to control it.

The rise of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's indulgence gave Pound the opportunity to take Hanzhong.

Pang De was a first-rate military general and had extremely strong commanding ability. Coupled with the elite Xiliang cavalry, Zhang Lu's Hanzhong soldiers and horses were completely unable to resist.

In less than half a month, Pang De captured most of Hanzhong with lightning speed.

At the same time, because Pang De was a general under Ma Teng, no one could think of any relationship between Pang De's capture of Hanzhong and Liu Feng.

Therefore, as Liu Feng stood still for several months, the alliance composed of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu gradually relaxed their vigilance.

Especially Cao Cao, according to Xi Zhicai's plan, in order to develop his own power, Cao Cao should occupy Xuzhou and take the entire Yangzhou into his pocket to use it as a base camp for rapid development.

However, due to Sun Jian's tenacious resistance when attacking Yangzhou and Cao Cao's naval force being too weak, he followed Xi Zhicai's suggestion and joined forces with Liu Biao to attack Sun Jian.

As a result, although Liu Biao ambushed Sun Jian, Cao Cao had to divide Yangzhou equally with Liu Biao.

Obviously, half of Yangzhou could not satisfy Cao Cao's ambition and development. Therefore, Cao Cao planned to drive Liu Biao out of Yangzhou while Liu Feng did not make any moves, and monopolize Yangzhou's territory for himself.

However, due to his previous alliance with Liu Biao, he naturally could not use troops directly against him, so he had to use a trick to drive him out. Therefore, Cao Cao needed to make a good plan with Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai obviously had a plan for Cao Cao's concerns.

He said to Cao Cao:"My lord, since we cannot personally send troops to drive Liu Biao out of Yangzhou, we must rely on the power of others.

Now on the surface, there are only two forces in Yangzhou: we and Liu Biao, but in fact there is another force secretly. That was Sun Jian.

Although Sun Jian had long been killed in battle, he had been operating in Yangzhou for many years and treated the soldiers and people well. This made Yangzhou respect him very much, both from the gentry and the common people.

Therefore, when he was assassinated by Liu Biao, there must have been a large number of local people. The officials, the people and the Yangzhou prisoners who surrendered to Liu Biao were very dissatisfied, and this is what we can take advantage of.

The lord only needs to send people to the Jiujiang, Lujiang and Yuzhang counties of Yangzhou occupied by Liu Biao to spread rumors that Liu Biao has died after Sun Jian's death. He refused to give up, and cut his body into pieces with five horses. He died in a miserable state. The soldiers and people in these three counties were already worried about Sun Jian's death, and Liu Biao's decision to make him unable to live in peace after death was bound to arouse their hatred.

As long as Liu Biao loses the support of the people in these three counties, our chance will come."

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately ordered his people to implement Xi Zhicai's plan.

As expected by Xi Zhicai, there were a lot of turmoil in the three counties ruled by Liu Biao, and even the common people and Sun Jian's subordinates surrendered their troops to attack the government.
