Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

"Fourth Young Master, may I have a moment with you?"

At this moment, Jia Xu came to Cao Zhi and said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Cao Zhi nodded.

The two walked west along the Wei River.

Until they were a full hundred meters away from the army.

The two of them stopped.

"Fourth Young Master, what do you think of this sneak attack just now? Who do you think is behind it?"

Jia Xu said.

"On the surface, Guanzhong is now in Han Sui's hands. There is a high probability that Han Sui is behind this attack!"

"But I noticed that those who attacked the army just now were Qiang people. With Han Sui's prestige, he may not be able to command these Qiang people!"

"On the contrary, with Ma Teng's prestige among the Qiang people, they are more likely to listen to him!"

"But the news we received is that Ma Teng is now imprisoned in his mansion!"

"So the mastermind behind this could be Han Sui or Ma Teng, but Han Sui is more likely!"

Cao Zhi laughed.

Seeing Cao Zhi say this, Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction.

After a moment's silence, Jia Xu continued:

"What if it's Ma Teng?"

When saying this.

Jia Xu did not forget to look in the direction of the army.

To be precise, he was looking at Ma Yunlu.

The meaning is obvious.

That is, Ma Teng's daughter is following you now. Are you sure you won't favor Ma Teng out of selfish motives?

"屮!"

Seeing that Jia Xu didn't believe him, Cao Zhi immediately became dissatisfied.

But Jia Xu's suspicion is reasonable.

Cao Zhi still said seriously:

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

"Since the Fourth Young Master said so, I feel relieved!"

Jia Xu gave Cao Zhi a thumbs up.

Cao Zhi: “…”

Why do I feel like you are playing tricks on me, old man, and I have evidence!

"So what should we do next?"

Jia Xu continued.

"The enemy released the Qiang people to attack our army for two reasons: one, to inflict casualties on us; two, to halt our army's advance!"

"I just noticed that although these Qiang people are fearless and brave, they are clearly not a formal military organization. To be more specific, they are a group of ordinary people who were hastily organized!"

"In that case, we can disregard the first point. I suspect their goal is to stop the army's advance!"

"Since they want to stop us, we won't let them do so!"

"My plan is for the army to rest tonight. Starting tomorrow, we will speed up our march and make sure we reach Chang'an in the shortest possible time!"

Cao Zhi laughed.

"this--"

Hearing Cao Zhi say this, Jia Xu was stunned.

Because the answer Cao Zhi gave was different from what he expected.

As soon as he thought of this, Jia Xu's face immediately showed hesitation.

"What, you don't believe me?"

Cao Zhi suddenly said.

While speaking, Cao Zhi deliberately took a step closer to Jia Xu.

For Cao Zhi, it was a small step;

But for Jia Xu, it was a big step.

Especially Cao Zhi, who had a smirk on his face at this moment.

This made Jia Xu feel a chill in his heart.

"Of course I trust the Fourth Young Master, but... I have a more appropriate solution..."

As he spoke, Jia Xu told Cao Zhi his plan.

That is, now that the enemy has assembled against us.

Then we can take advantage of this opportunity to lure the enemy out.

On the surface, our army wants to speed up its march.

In fact, we are forcing more enemies to come forward by sending out the signal of "speed up the march".

After all the enemies are exposed, we will catch them all in one fell swoop.

After saying this, Jia Xu did not forget to remind Cao Zhi.

"Fourth Young Master, although the enemies in the open are dangerous, with our current strength, we are not really afraid of them. What we fear most are the enemies hiding in the dark!"

"As expected of the world-renowned Poison Master, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Cao Zhi laughed.

Jia Xu: “…”

Looking at Cao Zhi who was smiling at this moment.

Jia Xu was completely stunned.

After a moment, Jia Xu's expression changed drastically.

He finally understood why Cao Zhi had just said something like "speed up the march".

The reason why Cao Zhi said this.

He deliberately lured me into the trap and made me say these words.

And why let yourself say it.

But Cao Zhi himself did not say it.

Of course it was because he was a [Poison Master], sinister and vicious.

But Cao Zhi was upright.

"屮!"

Seeing that he had been tricked by Cao Zhi, Jia Xu was speechless.

"Fourth Young Master, given the relationship between us, there's no need for you to beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say!"

Jia Xu complained.

"is it?"

Cao Zhi glanced in the direction of the military camp and smiled without saying anything.

"Damn, I didn't expect this kid to hold such a grudge!"

Jia Xu was speechless again.

……

The plan has been made.

The next step is the specific implementation of the plan.

Of course, this is now Jia Xu’s business!

"I have only one request. If you encounter Qiang people charging into our army, don't hold back. Kill as many as you can!"

"If we encounter Han civilians, killing them is only a means of deterrence. As long as they surrender, we will not commit any more murders!"

Cao Zhi reminded.

……

The reason why Cao Zhi treated them differently.

There are three main reasons.

First, after years of war, the population of Guanzhong has been sharply reduced to only one in ten or even one in fifty.

If we continue to kill civilians at this time, when will the population recover?

Second, Cao Zhi thought of the Five Barbarians Invading China.

The reason why the Hu people were able to destroy the Western Jin Dynasty in history.

The main reason is that due to years of war, the Han people in the north were defeated, and the Hu people were able to take advantage of the situation and rise up.

Although Cao Zhi has now eliminated the Southern Xiongnu and the three counties of Wuhuan.

But I came all the way from Tongguan.

Cao Zhi encountered many Qiang people, whose number was greater than that of the Han people.

The Qiang people are also Hu people.

What if it’s because of my own butterfly effect?

What if the Qiang people replaced the Five Barbarians and recreated the tragic situation in history?

Therefore, Cao Zhi thought of turning his butcher knife against the Qiang people.

This will eliminate the gap in numbers between the two.

As for the third one.

This is because Guanzhong has been the place where Han people have lived since ancient times.

This place can only belong to the Han people, and must belong to the Han people!

But now, the Han people are a minority in this place, which makes Cao Zhi very dissatisfied.

Originally Cao Zhi was still thinking about it.

After I occupy Guanzhong.

Gather these Qiang people together and send them back to their hometown.

But when I think of the fearless look of those Qiang people just now.

If we leave them here, who can guarantee that they won't commit more murders?

So Cao Zhi decided to solve these problems in advance.

Anyway, these Qiang people dared to attack the army and were seeking death, so Cao Zhi naturally would not hold back!

……

Of course, Cao Zhi did not tell Jia Xu these reasons.

Cao Zhi believed that Jia Xu could understand what he meant.

After all, Jia Xu is a [Poisonous Scholar]!

Understanding people's hearts is Jia Xu's greatest skill.

And Jia Xu was just as Cao Zhi said.

After hearing Cao Zhi's order.

After a moment's silence, he immediately bowed and said yes.

……

After Jia Xu left.

Another figure.

Appeared in front of Cao Zhi.

"Let's chat!" Ma Yunlu said seriously.

Seeing Ma Yunlu's serious face at the moment, Cao Zhi smiled and said, "Okay!"

"I suspect that the mastermind behind this group of Qiang people is my father!"

Ma Yunlu said directly.

Cao Zhi: “???”

Seeing Ma Yunlu being so helpful, Cao Zhi was completely stunned.

Is this girl planning to not kiss for the sake of justice?

"Ahem...that's your father!"

Cao Zhi reminded.

"I know!" Ma Yunlu said:

"It's precisely because I know that the mastermind might be my father that I came to find you!"

"So what do you mean?" Cao Zhi frowned.

Having said that.

Cao Zhi was a little worried.

Ma Yunlu would beg him to let Ma Teng go.

"I don't know..." said Ma Yunlu.

Cao Zhi: “???”

"I want to ask you to let my father go, but I can't bring myself to say it. If it really is my father, then his actions have already led to his death!"

Ma Yunlu whispered.

At this point, a look of sadness appeared on Ma Yunlu's face.

She doesn’t want to embarrass Cao Zhi!!!

"Since you are so honest, I will show you a way!"

At this moment, Cao Zhi laughed.

"A bright path???"

Ma Yunlu's face immediately showed joy.

"Not bad!"

Cao Zhi nodded, then smiled and said:

"If your father is truly the mastermind behind this, then he will undoubtedly gather more Qiang people to become our enemies!"

"Once we become enemies, there will inevitably be casualties!"

"If we can keep the casualties within a small range!"

"For example, before the Qiang people even got close, we had already killed them all!"

"As long as our casualties are minimal, or even non-existent, then your father will at most be charged with 'attempted murder'. 'Attempted murder' means that someone intended to kill someone, but they didn't get killed!"

"Since it's an attempted murder, then I have reason to keep him alive. Of course, the premise is that his plan didn't cause widespread harm. Do you understand?"

Cao Zhi stared into Ma Yunlu's eyes and said seriously.

"I see!"

Ma Yunlu nodded heavily.

Then she threw herself into Cao Zhi's arms and kissed him on the face.

After doing all this.

Ma Yunlu immediately turned around and returned to his army.

Cao Zhi’s words just now reminded her.

Want to save Ma Teng.

The only thing he could do at this moment was to try every possible means and spare no effort to make Ma Teng's plan fail!

Looking at Ma Yunlu's receding figure, Cao Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

He still softened his heart!!!

However, since Ma Yunlu can be so frank with me, why not save some private messages for her?

So Cao Zhi called Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Pang De, Le Jin and others to his side in turn.

Tell the four people to actively cooperate with Ma Yunlu in the next battle.

And the result is——

In the subsequent multiple attacks by the Qiang people.

Ma Yunlu always leads by example.

To those Qiang people who rushed over.

Ma Yunlu did not hold back at all.

And for our injured soldiers.

Ma Yunlu personally bandaged their wounds and changed their water and dressings.

And with the active cooperation of Zhao Yun and others.

Ma Yunlu's 5,000 troops won ten battles in a row.

The number of Qiang people killed reached as many as 30,000.

Because she is a woman, she kills without mercy.

Gradually, the Qiang people began to describe Ma Yunlu as "Jade Rakshasa".

Rakshasa means evil ghost!!!

This shows their fear and hatred towards Ma Yunlu!

Ma Yunlu doesn’t know whether this is possible!

The only thing she wanted was to use her own method to protect her father!
