Chapter 50 Nanye Zhu Rongtong Nanzhong Ma Chaoxing's revenge on his father (18)

Although Cao Hong tried his best to stop Ma Chao to save Cao Cao, the strength gap between the two was there. After 20 or 30, Cao Hong felt dizzy and weak. He was no longer as brave as before, and only supported by an obsession. I said in my heart: I'm going to die! Despite this, he did not regret it and still fought to the death.

Ma Chao was stopped by Cao Hong for dozens of rounds. At this time, Cao Cao had disappeared, and his anger was vented on Cao Hong. His gun moves became more and more fierce, faster than one shot. Just when Cao Hong thought he was dead, suddenly there was a strong wind in his ear, and a carved feather arrow shot directly at Ma Chao.

"Ding~" Ma Chao heard the wind and shot down the eagle with a long gun. His martial arts are good, and his opponent in front of him is Cao Hong, who has exhausted his strength. Naturally, he has left room to deal with the dark arrows. When Ma Chao looked at the way to the feather arrow, he saw Xia Houyuan lead dozens of horses to kill him.

It turned out that Cao Cao was meeting the brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan after running out for a while, so he ordered Xiahou Dun to protect himself and send Xiahou Yuan to lead troops to save Cao Hong. Ma Chao was alone and was afraid of being besieged by Cao's general, so he abandoned Cao Hong and pulled his horse back. Xiahou Yuan saved Cao Hong and did not chase him, leading Cao Hong back to see Cao Cao.

Thanks to Cao Ren and his counselors who defended the camp, although Cao Cao's defeat damaged tens of thousands of horses, he did not hurt his muscles and bones, and many soldiers scattered and fled back to the camp. Cao Cao was very happy to see that Cao Hong was rescued by Xiahou Yuan and sighed, "If I kill Zilian that day, I will die at the hands of Ma Chao today!" After saying that, he rewarded Cao Hong, cleaned up the defeated army and defended the camp, and the deep ditch and high base were not allowed to fight.

Ma Chao saw that Cao Cao's camp did not lead troops to fight every day. Cao Cao ordered the sergeants to stick to it, and if there was any disturbance, he was beheaded. Cao Yingzhong generals said, "The soldiers of Xiliang used long guns and bids, which were not conducive to the long battle. They were elected as a strong bow and a tough crossbow to welcome it."

Cao Cao said, "You only saw the long gun and bidding, didn't you see his iron shield? The end of a strong crossbow may not be able to defeat it. Now it's up to me whether to fight or not, not the horse thief. Although the horse thief has a long gun, can Ann stab into the camp? The princes stand by the wall and wait for the thief to retreat.

When the general heard the words, they no longer offered their plans and talked about it in private: "The Prime Minister has always been brave in the battle, and he has never been afraid of a momentary defeat. Now that he is afraid to fight to the death, is it because he was defeated by Ma Chao and abandoned his robe?

The discussion in the camp came to Cao Cao's ears. Cao Cao just smiled, and the two counselors, Xun Yu and Xun You, also smiled and said nothing. Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Wen Ruo and Gongda why did they laugh?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "The Lord publicizes that the thief is weak and proud of his heart. The thief hasn't been tricked yet, and the generals in the camp have been tricked first!"

Xun You said, "This is the best! It can be seen that the master's plan has been made!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Wen Ruo and Gongda really know me!"

After a few days, he made a detailed report: "Ma Chao added 20,000 new soldiers to help the battle, which is the Qiang tribe."

Cao Cao was not worried but happy when he heard the news. The generals asked strangely, "Ma Chao added troops, why is the prime minister happy?"

Cao Cao asked the generals with a smile, "Where did Ma Chao's soldiers come from?"

The generals were even more curious when they heard the words and replied, "I came from Xiliang."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "If soldiers and horses do not fall from the sky, why should I worry?"

The generals didn't know what they meant, so they went to ask Xun Yu privately. Xun Yu smiled and said, "The meaning of the Prime Minister is that soldiers and horses will not come out of thin air. If troops are added here, Xiliang will inevitably reduce their troops. The Prime Minister wants to get the land of Xiliang, but Xiliang is remote, and it is difficult for Qiang people to accept it. If Qiang soldiers gather in Xiliang to guard the danger, the expedition will not be a momentary achievement. Now they all come to gather in one place. Although there are many people, people are not united, easy to be separated, and can be destroyed in one fell swoop.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, the generals suddenly felt much more stable. Three days later, he made a detailed report, and Tong closed the new army. Cao Cao then rejoiced and held a banquet in the tent to congratulate him. This time, the generals knew it well and laughed with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao did not know that Xun Yu explained for the generals in private. When he saw the generals laughing, he asked, "Do the princes laugh but have a good strategy to break the enemy?"

Le Jin said, "Now that the lord's army is here, the horse thieves are all stationed at the gate, and then they must be empty and unprepared. If an army secretly crosses Puhanjin, first cut off the road of the thief's return to the west, and then the lord sends troops to Hebei to attack it, so that the horse and thieves do not care about each other, it is bound to be in danger.

Cao Cao said, "Wen Qian's words are exactly what I want." So he ordered Lejin to attract 5,000 elite soldiers, and went to Hexi with Han Hao, ambush between the valleys, and waited for a good opportunity.

After the second general led the troops, Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong to arrange a boat raft to prepare to cross the Wei River in person and keep Cao Ren to guard the village. As soon as Cao Cao's army moved, Ma Chao got a detailed reward.

Ma Chao gathered the generals and said, "The Cao thief did not attack Tongguan, and he did not dare to fight with us. At this time, people prepare boats and rafts, which must be after crossing Hebei to attack me. I should lead an army to refuse to defend the north bank along the river, so that Cao soldiers can't cross it. When their food runs out, Cao soldiers will be in chaos. At that time, we will cross the river and attack, and Cao Cao can be captured!"

Han Sui followed Ma Chao and got Chang'an without much effort, occupying Tongguan and killing Cao Cao. His mind also faded to harm Ma Chao. Instead, he despised Cao Cao and began to figure out how to kill Cao Cao and occupy his territory. At this time, listening to Ma Chao want to guard along the river, Han Sui sincerely said, "Don't have to do this! The virtuous nephew didn't hear the words about the art of war: 'The half of the army can be attacked.' When Cao Bing crossed halfway, his virtuous nephew led the army to attack him, and Cao Bing all died in Hanoi!"

Ma Chao said, "My uncle's words are very kind!" After saying that, he ordered people to explore the movements of Cao's army day and night.

Cao Cao's boat was ready to cross the river. He was also a veteran of soldiers. How could he attack without knowing half of the crossing? So he divided his troops to cross the river and sent three horses to cross the river to create a camp. Cao Cao himself sat on the south bank to watch the sergeants cross the river

Ma Chao saw that Cao's soldiers crossed the river to camp, Cao Cao's commander-in-chief's flag did not move, so he asked Han Sui, "What can Cao Cao divide his troops and cross?"

Han Sui looked at it for a while and said, "One can lead the army to attack Cao's army in Hebei, and the other can lead troops to cross the river to attack Cao Cao's camp at the same time. After breaking the Hebei camp, Cao Cao can set it up again in the future. If Cao Cao is killed, Hebei camp will be useless!"

As soon as Ma Chao heard Han Sui's intention, he knew that he suggested crossing the river and kill Cao Cao. He really wanted to kill Cao Cao early to avenge his father, so he led the army to take a detour and cross the river at the same time.

Cao Cao listened to the detailed report and said that Ma Chao had crossed the river, so he hurriedly ordered the army to cross the river quickly. Cao Cao personally led hundreds of tiger guards and sat under the handsome flag on the south bank with his sword, just to attract Ma Chao's attention so that his people and horses could cross the river.

Although Ma Chao took a detour to cross the river, his cavalry was very fast. When he circled to the south bank, only 80% of Cao soldiers crossed the river, and 20% were queuing up. Cao Cao himself did not cross the river. Seeing this, Ma Chao didn't say anything and waved his army straight to Cao Cao.

Cao's generals recognized Ma Chao and shouted one after another, "Ma Chao in the white robe is here!" Cao's soldiers even regarded Ma Chao as a god of murder. When they saw Ma Chao's soldiers arrive, they flocked out of the ship. The number of rafts was limited, so the sergeants scrambled to get on the boat, pulling each other and making noise.

Cao Cao still did not get off the boat to cross the river in order to stabilize the army. He just commanded the soldiers by the river and ordered the tiger guard to kill the soldiers. When the soldiers saw that the commander had not yet crossed the river, they felt a little relieved. They also saw the tiger guard killing people and panicked and restored some order. Those who couldn't get on the boat dared not pull the raft again, and a group of soldiers on the boat crossed the river safely.

At this time, the sound of Cao Cao's shouting horse hiss gradually approached, and a general jumped on the shore and shouted, "The horse thief is coming!" Lord, please get off the ship!"

Cao Cao seemed to be Xu Chu. It turned out that there had been a small boat parked on the south bank, which was guarded by Xu Chu, so that Cao Cao would cross the river at any time. Cao Cao looked back and saw that Ma Chao was still more than a hundred steps away from him. He was also afraid in his heart, but there was no panic on his face, and he still shouted, "What's wrong with being a thief?"

Xu Chu is also a thick and thin person, otherwise he can't be Cao Cao's personal guard. He knows Cao Cao's temperament very well and knows that Cao Cao's mouth is to encourage soldiers, not really not afraid of Ma Chao. Xu Chu also had the idea to drag Cao Cao off the boat with his strong arm like an ordinary man's thigh.

Cao Cao is short, and being caught under Xu Chu's armpit is similar to holding a child. However, Cao Cao was not angry, but secretly praised Chu for his cleverness. Because of this, he did not abandon the soldiers, but was held hostage by Xu Chu, who was eager to protect him. No one can blame him.

Xu Chu went ashore and caught Cao Cao for a moment, but it suddenly changed at this moment. A fallen soldier actually climbed into the boat prepared by Xu Chu for Cao Cao and cut the cable with a knife to escape. When Xu Chu returned to the shore with Cao Cao, the ship was more than ten feet away from the shore. If it hadn't been for other fallen soldiers scrambling to get on the boat, I'm afraid the boat would have gone far away.

When Cao saw the boat leaving the shore, he was so scared that he no longer had the previous calmness, and his already white face was even more pale at this time. Before, he was able to sit without chaos because there was a back road. At this time, the back road has been cut off. How can Cao Cao not be afraid?

Xu Chu was so angry that his eyes were wide open and he was about to crack. He could even feel Cao Cao under his arm trembling all over. There is a saying that the Lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister and the humiliation of the minister. Cao's army on both sides of the river only heard Xu Chu roar and flew up. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao jumped into the boat.

The boat was shaken and shaken by the two people who fell from the sky. At that time, the pawn who stole the boat fell on the boat, and the soldiers who rushed to grab the boat could not help falling into the water one after another. On the contrary, Xu Chu stood firmly on the ship as if he had taken root under his feet.

Cao Cao "flies" to the ship and said secretly in his heart, "It's so close!" When he was caught driving by Xu Chu just now, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. At this time, he was put down by Xu Chu, and he couldn't help sighing that Xu Chu was as brave as a ghost.

After Xu Chu put Cao on the boat and took a step forward without saying a word, he picked up the Cao soldier who stole the boat from the ground. The pawn watched Xu Chu fly into the ship with his own eyes and trembled like a sieve and couldn't speak. Xu Chu only heard the sound of "tick~" water ringing at the feet of the pawn. He didn't know whether the soaked river on his body flowed down his trousers or urine water.

How can Xu Chu, who is full of anger, care about why the pawn dripping water? He held the pawn with his left hand, grabbed the pawn's bun with his right hand, twisted his hands hard, and heard a "gaba~" sound, and the pawn's cervical spine was twisted at that time. Xu Chu was not satisfied. He twisted two more buttons and directly pulled down the pawn's head and sprayed a boat of blood. If Cao Cao hadn't flashed behind Xu Chu, he would have splashed blood.
