"General, general..." The generals defending the city ran into the cave.

Cao Ren had just finished writing a reply to Cao Cao, raised his head, and asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

"Enemy... Enemy... The Behemoth is coming! ”

"yes, a lot of monsters!"

............

The generals were terrified.

"It's Yuan Xi again..." Cao Ren gritted his teeth and rushed out of the cave. I saw a big snake outside, facing the city tower, and I couldn't take my eyes off it. And the soldiers on the tower of the city were afraid of the big snake and left their posts without permission.

"What are you all doing? Resist the enemy! Cao Ren yelled: "Release the arrow!" ”

Roar!

The giant python roared and quickly pounced on Cao Ren.

"Ahh Cao Ren fled in fright and ran into the city.

The soldiers on the city tower, who had long been frightened and trembling, saw Cao Ren leaving, and hurriedly followed.

"Li Zou." Cao Ren said while evacuating: "You lead 3,000 elite soldiers and lie at the east gate." But when he saw the enemy, ten thousand arrows were fired. ”

"No."

Li Zou turned out to be Lu Bu's subordinate general, and later took refuge in Cao Cao. Because he was good at riding and shooting, he was stationed in Chang'an, trained iron cavalry, and was Cao Ren's deputy general.

"Sun Guan. Immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to retreat to Wuguan with me and join the prime minister. Cao Ren looked back, saw the brave general Sun Guan, and said urgently.

"Yes."

Cao Ren hurried to the east gate non-stop and evacuated Chang'an first.

The accompanying soldiers were less than three thousand men, and the large army was in the rear.

Before the giant python attacked the city, it had already scared off the Cao army, and the Xiliang army in charge of the siege easily climbed up to the city tower and opened the city gate.

"Father, Chang'an City is broken..." Ma Chao drove the horse to Ma Teng.

"Command the vanguard battalion to rush into the city. If there is no ambush, you will lead the army into the city and occupy Chang'an in one fell swoop. Ma Teng said.

"Yes."

Ma Chao acted as ordered.

The city is broken, and the behemoths have lost their usefulness.

It was supposed to go into the city to kill the enemy, but the enemy army has already withdrawn, what can you do if you go in? Anyway, the Xiliang army is invincible in the field, so why bother? Yuan Xi went outside the city to recall the giant beast.

"Lord, the Xiliang army has already entered the city, do you want our army to enter the city as well?" Yan Liang walked over.

"Cao Cao is approaching in the blink of an eye, and you lead your army to Dongcheng to find an open place to camp. That is conducive to the gallop of our army's war horses, and it can also form a horn with Chang'an. Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is far stronger than Cao's army, we still can't be careless. This battle is related to our decisive battle with Cao in a few years. Yuan Xi said.

"Yes."

Yan Liang was ordered to leave.

After Ma Chao entered the city, he quickly occupied the whole city.

Hearing that Cao Ren had fled, he personally led 10,000 iron cavalry to chase after him, and when he reached the east city gate, he was attacked and killed by Li Zou's ambush soldiers. Ma Chao fought back and personally cut off Li Zou's head.

"Follow me, you must catch Cao Ren!" Ma Chao still remembers the day before yesterday, Cao Ren besieged him.

If he didn't catch Cao Ren, where would he put his face?

Ma Chao continued to chase east.

The Xiliang army occupied Chang'an, quickly deployed defenses, and posted notices to secure the people.

In the lobby of the government office.

Yuan Xi sent people to call Ma Teng and Han Sui, and said: "Fortunately, with the help of two generals, we can repel Cao Ren and capture Chang'an." But my territory is far away in Hebei, and it is impossible to govern Chang'an. Therefore, Chang'an City was given to the two generals. To be precise, it was given to General Ma Teng. As for General Han Sui, I have another gift. ”

"Oh? What is the gift? ”

Han Sui asked rhetorically.

Ma Teng glared at Han Sui: "Brother Yi, how can you ask directly?" We should not ask for a reward for the sake of the country, not to mention that General Yuan is not the imperial court, how can you... ”

"It's okay." Yuan Xi smiled: "I like to listen to blunt words. ”

"As I said just now, I should give Chang'an City to General Ma Teng, and I should bring my own generous gifts to General Han Sui. As for what this gift is, I won't say it for the time being. After defeating Cao Cao, give the general another surprise. What does the general think? ”

In fact, Yuan Xi didn't think about what to give Han Sui.

Chang'an City was located in Cao Cao's rear and was a huge threat to Cao Cao. There were hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops there, and Cao Cao had to look ahead and backward with his troops, which was conducive to the Hebei army's battle.

In the Xiliang Army, led by Ma Teng, he conquered Chang'an City, and he wanted to give it to Ma Teng.

Han Sui was not satisfied, and other rewards could be used.

In order to unite the Xiliang army internally, not divide, and work together to meet the Cao army.

"The general is full of words, how dare Han Sui say more? Just do as the general wants. Han Sui said.

"Okay..."

Yuan Xi raised the wine bottle and said: "Two generals, let's drink this bottle together, celebrate in advance, and attack Cao's great victory." ”

"Please..."

The three of them drank it all.

"Cao Cao is approaching in a blink of an eye, and I have ordered Yan Liang to lead 50,000 iron cavalry to camp in the east of Chang'an City, forming a horn with Chang'an. When Cao's army arrives, the general can allocate 100,000 soldiers and horses to go to the battle. I should come to the front of the battle and shout for the general. Yuan Xi smiled.

Ma Teng said: "I am a Xiliang war horse, and my field strength is very strong, Cao Cao is not unaware of this. If he holds on to the city, he can still be my enemy, and if he fights in the field, he has no chance. I'm only worried that he won't dare to come to Chang'an. ”

Yuan Xi said: "The general only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Cao Cao is known for his great wisdom and intends to achieve hegemony. If you want to achieve hegemony, you must have a stable rear. After Chang'an was in Luoyang, it was really a big disaster for Cao Cao. When he came with an army of 100,000 men, would he retreat easily? I expect him to come to Chang'an to fight. Generals can prepare in advance. ”

"Hmm."

Ma Teng said: "I hope to be said by the general." In this way, our Xiliang army captured and killed Cao thief, and the Han family could flourish. ”

"Yes, yes..." Yuan Xi echoed casually, but he was thinking in his heart: "Ma Teng is really a loyal minister of the Han family, and at this time, he is still thinking about the Han family." It's a pity that the Han Dynasty has run out, even if the Xiliang Army destroys Cao Cao, it is impossible to revive the Han Dynasty. ”

Why?

Yizhou Liu Zhang, Jiangdong Sun Quan is dominant, Hebei is not a soldier of the Han family, no matter how good the Xiliang army is, how can it be able to defeat the princes of all walks of life?

Yuan Xi didn't break it, and diverted the topic: "Cao Cao will only arrive in Chang'an tomorrow." We can reward the three armies first and reward the meritorious soldiers. This is what I promised before, and it must be kept. Second, when the soldiers are full of food and drink, they have the strength to kill the enemy. ”

"Just according to the general's words."

Ma Teng and Han Sui have no opinions.

.....................

.....................

Ma Chao went to chase Cao Ren, but he was ambushed again and again, and finally did not catch up.

Cao Ren led thousands of soldiers and fled to Wuguan.

Halfway to Cao Cao's rendezvous.

"It is not good for the last general to defend the city, and I hope that the prime minister will punish the crime." Cao Ren was unkempt and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.

"Get up." Cao Cao got out of the carriage, looked at Cao Ren, and asked, "Are you injured?" ”

"Xie Cheng is concerned. The last general was not injured. Cao Ren climbed over a horse, followed Cao Cao's car, and briefly talked about the war during this time. Special emphasis was also placed on Yuan Xi's behemoth, which led to the defeat of the war.
