"What do you think?"
Xixue did not pay attention to Lao He's statement, but turned to Zhang Bao and asked.
She knew that the key to this matter lay with Zhang Bao.
After all, if I can participate in this matter, maybe it will not be completely worthless along the way.
Previously, Xixue was actually a little bit embarrassed about her purpose of following out this time, if she could participate in the battle against Xiazhou.
That is of course the best thing.
"Let me think about how to operate it. This kind of thing is not necessarily dangerous."
"The key is how to let them know it's you."
Zhang Bao nodded.
"Uncle He, then go back to Hezhou by yourself first."
"Don't worry, for now, Cao Kang's troops should be mainly on guard against movements from Fan Hanzhong."
"And judging from the information we received, most of Cao Kang's troops have already shrunk to the vicinity of the capital, and there won't be many troops in our direction in Huizhou."
Zhang Bao said to Lao He.
Zhang Bao said as he walked out.
…
at this time.
In the south of Xiazhou.
Originally this was Nanzhou. Since it was captured by Ma Yaohan's men last time, the entire forest outside Nanzhou has lost its original appearance and has now been turned into various fences. .
"emperor!"
"According to reliable information, Fan Hanzhong in Hezhou has already raised 300,000 troops and is heading towards Xiazhou."
"And looking at this posture, it is Zhang Bao and Cao Kang who are starting the final decisive battle."
A man who looked like a civil servant said to Ma Yaohan.
Since occupying this Nanzhou.
Ma Yaohan also proclaimed himself king.
In addition to constantly accumulating troops and horses, Ma Yaohan also set up his own court.
All the people who followed him to Nanzhou were given corresponding official positions.
For them, Ma Yaohan is now their only hope.
For them, there is no hope.
At this point, we can only hope that Ma Yaohan can achieve something.
And let’s be honest, it’s been so long.
For those under Ma Yaohan, the life they are experiencing now is beyond what they dared to imagine before.
Here in Nanzhou, although the population is smaller, the products are still very good.
In addition, many places are empty, so for them, there is a lot of room for them to play.
The current situation is.
Many people actually do not agree that Ma Yaohan should go back to rob Xiazhou and nearby places with Cao Kang and Zhang Bao.
They only need to stay in Nanzhou, and there is nothing they can do about Cao Kang or Zhang Bao.
Really if
If they leave to participate in the current struggle for hegemony between Zhang Bao and Cao Kang, then for them, the foothold they have finally gained will be gone.
Even for them, this period of time was enough to make things clear.
Cao Kang simply had no energy to manage them.
One of the important reasons why they have been able to develop to their current foundation is because Cao Kang is unable to consider the affairs of Nanzhou.
But Zhang Bao is different.
Zhang Bao and his men seemed to like this kind of fighting mode in the woods.
In this combat mode, it is very difficult for them to deal with them.
"good!"
"Zhang Bao really took action here."
"Just as I expected!"
Ma Yaohan nodded.
In fact, Ma Yaohan was not optimistic about Liu Xiu's attack on Hezhou with 150,000 troops from the very beginning.
In his opinion.
Fan Hanzhong's 200,000 troops were waiting there.
Not to mention Liu Xiu's 150,000 horses, even if 250,000 horses went there, I'm afraid they wouldn't get much advantage.
Fan Hanzhong is not the kind of person who wastes time.
The reason why he would not move out must be that he had arranged some formations and traps in the southwest of Hezhou, waiting for Liu Xiu to pounce directly.
In Ma Yaohan's view, the only way for Cao Kang to break the situation is to concentrate all his forces and push all the way from Jeju, instead of going head-to-head with Fan Hanzhong.
Thus.
For Fan Hanzhong, even if he had made many arrangements in advance, he would definitely abandon them and deploy troops to block Cao Kang's men from the other side.
By then, not only would Fan Hanzhong lose the advantage he had accumulated before, but he would also mobilize the troops in Hezhou for movement.
Once it moves, it won't be so stable.
After all, as soon as the troops and horses move, food, grass and the like will also be mobilized in large quantities.
This cost is quite huge.
"Your Majesty, look, do we want to participate this time?"
"Although our current numbers are not as many as theirs, we still have nearly 100,000 troops!"
A general said to Ma Yaohan.
"No!"
"You cannot participate at this time."
"We are not in a hurry, let Zhang Bao and Cao Kang fight first!"
"Let me tell you this, the current Cao Kang is no match for Zhang Bao."
"Even though they mobilized a lot of troops to garrison the capital, last time, we marched in a hurry without any preparation, but now Zhang Bao and the others are not afraid of attacking the city the most!"
"Others don't know it, but we know it very well. Once the explosives in their hands are thrown out, no matter how many people are on the wall, they can't defend it at all."
"Cao Kang doesn't understand what kind of character Zhang Bao is at all. If he still fights like he did when he fought me before, he will naturally fail."
Ma Yaohan said.
At this time, a map was placed in front of Ma Yaohan.
There are many arrows on the Nanzhou and Xizhou sides of the map, but there are almost no marks north of Xiazhou.
Ma Yaohan's target was not in the northern hinterland, but in the surrounding circle.
Whether it is Nanzhou or Xizhou, it is a vast area with sparsely populated areas, which will give Ma Yaohan and the others plenty of time to develop.
During this period of time, Ma Yaohan has been developing in this direction.
