Chapter 126 2. True is false

Cao Cao sent troops across the Wei River and set up camp under the tip of Ma Chao's nose.Ma Chao was very annoyed, so he came to steal the camp at night, not to be wary of what Cao Cao wanted, and only heard the ambush in the dark, killing Ma Chao and turned around and fled. At this time, Ma Chao finally woke up.Obviously, Cao Cao's attack method should be well thought out.He was planning to use it when attacking Jiangdong Sun Quan, but because Zhou Yu set him on fire, Cao Cao's attack method had to be suspended.But now that this method has been figured out, Cao Cao has to find a place to use it. Ma Chao was unlucky, and Cao Cao used it as a test field to test the new tactics he invented.

If Zhou Yu was here, Cao Cao would have to suffer.Because Cao Cao kept squeezing Ma Chao forward, the transportation line behind was stretched, and the supplies would definitely not be able to keep up.As long as you set a fire, Cao Cao can vomit blood. But setting fire is easy to say, but if you really want to set it on fire, you have to be a talented military general to complete it.After all, Ma Chao is just a warrior, without the talent of a commander, he can only look up to the sky and sigh. After sighing, Ma Chao decided to admit defeat.Send envoys to Cao Cao and make two requests: one is willing to cede the land to Cao Cao, and the other is to send his son to Cao Cao as a hostage to show that he will never make trouble again, is it possible?

Is it possible?After listening to Ma Chao's request, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu, a counselor. This Jia Xu was the one who followed Zhang Xiu and killed Dian Wei, Cao Cao's former personal bodyguard.After hearing Cao Cao's question, Jia Xu said: "Yes." Cao Cao: "Really?" Jia Xu: "Fake." Cao Cao: "Fake...Old Jia, you mean you won't agree to them?" Jia Xu: "No, I mean agree to them." Cao Cao: "Really?" Jia Xu: "Didn't I tell you? It was false." Cao Cao: "Is it true or not?" Jia Xu: "It's true, but it's also false."

Cao Cao: "Then what do you mean?" Jia Xu: "I mean, pretend to agree to them. It sounds like we've agreed to their conditions, but it's actually fake." Cao Cao: "Then how do we deal with them?" Jia Xu: "Boss, bend over..." Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that, "Old Jia, I really have you." The next day, Cao Cao invited Han Sui over for a chat in front of the two armies again. The two horses' heads joined each other, chatting as they walked, chattering here and there, and talking here and there, without a word getting to the point of business.When Han Sui went back, Ma Chao hurriedly asked, "What did you talk about?" Han Sui replied, "Nothing, just about picking up girls when you were young." Ma Chao shook his head: "That's all we talked about?" Han Sui replied : "Then what do you want us to talk about?" Ma Chao retreated speechlessly, but he was muttering in his heart.

A few days later, Cao Cao sent a letter to Han Sui.The text of the letter was smeared and redacted a lot in advance.When Ma Chao heard that Cao Cao had a letter, he asked to read it. Han Sui gave the letter to Ma Chao. Ma Chao opened it and frowned: "Old Han, what did you say about the changes you made?" Han Suidao: "I didn't change it, Cao Cao changed it himself." Ma Chao: "You mean, Cao Cao sent you his draft?" Han Sui: "I'm also wondering." Ma Chao became suspicious of Han Sui from then on, so Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack. Han and Ma fought each other and were defeated.

Ma Chao fled into the gathering area of ​​the Chi people.Cao Cao's generals all advocated pursuing the victory until Ma Chao was killed.But Cao Cao didn't take it seriously. He thought Ma Chao was nothing to worry about. The most important task now was... Cao Cao suddenly turned around, took the road to Jiangdong, and wanted to fight Sun Quan.
