"Capture Hetao and capture the butcher of horses!" Yuan Shao said in a lost voice, "How is this possible?"

Cao Cao said: "Although Fang Yue's old camp has 20,000 troops stationed in the Hetao camp, it is not difficult to attack and destroy it."

Yuan Shao disagreed and said, "Meng De only knew that Fang Yue's 20,000 troops were stationed in the old camp of Hetao, but he didn't know that there were still Zhou Cang on the grassland of Mobei and Pei Yuanshao tens of thousands of iron cavalry! The cavalry under these two men were all tiger and wolf cavalry brought by the horse butcher back then. He only left it on the grassland to pacify Mobei. If the horse butcher transferred this iron cavalry to Luoyang, the coalition forces might not have the chance to defeat the horse butcher."

A trace of darkness flashed through Cao Cao's little eyes and said in a calm voice: "Pei Yuanshao, although Zhou Cang is the old subordinate of the Ma Butcher, he may not be loyal to the Ma Butcher. What's more, Fang Yue has two forces in the north of the Mo and Pei Yuanshao to help, and the Northern Alliance may not be fighting alone."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao said in a narrow voice, "How do you say this?"

Cao Cao said: "Did Benchu ​​forget Gongsun Zan in Youzhou?"

"Gongsun Zan!?" Yuan Shao shook his hand repeatedly, "Gongsun Zan is the sworn brother of Ma Butcher, and he was defeated by the general in the Battle of Julu. The two families have a deep grudge. It would be nice if this guy didn't help Fang Yue. How could he help the coalition forces in turn?"

"It's up to people." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "If you haven't tried it, how can you know that Gongsun Zan wouldn't turn to the coalition forces?"

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Don't Meng De think it's unnecessary to do this?"

Cao Cao insisted: "At least we should try."

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Gongsun Zan is absolutely impossible to turn to the coalition forces. Meng De would like to tell him how to capture the butcher of horses."

Cao Cao said: "The chance of capturing the horse butcher is even slim, but it is also worth trying."

Yuan Shao said: "I hope to hear the details."

Cao Cao said: "If nothing unexpected happens, the Ma Butcher will definitely send elite cavalry to harass the hinterland of the rear of the coalition forces. Fang Yue and Xu Huang, under the Ma Butcher, were in charge of Hetao and Guanzhong. Although Ma Chao is powerful, he is still young after all. The chief general Gao Shun is seriously injured again, and he has no idea of ​​life and death. Therefore... the Ma Butcher will probably lead his troops to fight in person."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao said happily, "Meng De said that the butcher horse will lead the army to the expedition in person?"

Cao Cao said: "I dare not say it's certain, but there are at least six points."
