Liang Xing said angrily: "Yang Qiu, we will make Han Sui the leader of the alliance. If Han Sui doesn't surrender, we can surrender! ”

Yan Xing and Yang Qiu repeatedly persuaded Liang Xing to refuse, and Cheng Yin, Hou Xuan, and Li Kan also took a wait-and-see attitude. Yang Qiu then privately found Yan Xing, saying that he wanted to vote for Cao Cao, and asked Yan Xing to convey it on his behalf.

Yan Xing sent someone to Cao Cao's camp secretly to report the attitude of the generals in Guanzhong, and also sent Yang Qiu's letter of surrender, saying that Yang Qiu was willing to respond internally.

At this time, Lü Bu also led 5,000 iron cavalry from Bingzhou to join Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed and prepared to take advantage of the mutual suspicion of the generals in Guanzhong to fight a decisive battle with Han Sui and Ma Chao.

Cao Cao came down to fight the book, and Ma Chao and Han were also anxious to end the confrontation, and the army gathered to challenge. Cao Cao first sent Lu Bu to lead 5,000 iron cavalry to meet the battle, and the two armies faced each other, and Ma Chao took the lead in the battle.

Ma Chao raised the tip of his dragoon and pointed at the Cao army's military formation, and shouted: "Ma Chao is here, Cao will dare to fight with me!" ”

I saw Lu Bu in the cavalry formation carrying Fang Tian's halberd to urge the horse forward, pointing at Ma Chao and shouting: "You are Ma Chao?" Do you know who I am? ”

Ma Chao saw Lu Bu wearing a phoenix-winged purple gold crown and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and laughed loudly: "Could it be Lu Bu?" I heard that 'Lu Bu among the people, the red rabbit among the horses', now you have no red rabbit horse, my horse will definitely be able to beat you! ”

"Horse arrogance! Eat me a halberd! Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao young and vigorous, as if he saw the shadow of his youth.

Lu Bu urged the horse to reach Ma Chao in the blink of an eye, and a halberd quickly stabbed at Ma Chao's face, and Ma Chao hurriedly picked up the tip of the dragoon and pushed it towards Fang Tian's halberd. The tip of the spear and the halberd collided, and the two of them were staggered.

Lu Bu returned to the horse and killed again, a halberd swung towards Ma Chao's neck, and Ma Chao struggled to smash Fang Tian's halberd with one shot. Lu Bu didn't dare to hold it up, so he put away the halberd and held Ma Chao's spear, but Lu Bu was faintly pressed by Ma Chao.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said, "What a lot of stamina! ”

Ma Chao sneered: "Hehe, this stamina is still to come!" ”

Ma Chao was able to move again, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and he pressed Fang Tian's halberd to lean on Lu Bu's neck. Lu Bu tried his best to resist, if it was before, Ma Chao could easily stand this shot by himself. The years are unforgiving, Lu Bu is now sixty years old, but Ma Chao is in the prime of life.

As a military general, Lu Bu did not accept the old, and Lu Bu concentrated his waist and abdomen to lean up. His face turned red, and he slowly pushed Ma Chao's spear back.

Lu Bu's strength was still very strong, and he pressed Ma Chao's gun and pushed Ma Chao away. Ma Chao took two steps back with the horse, and after Ma Chao stabilized his figure, he looked at Lu Bu's eyes full of excitement.

Ma Chao smiled: "Lu Bu really lives up to his reputation, but you are already old!" Your time has passed! ”

Ma Chao said and sped up the speed of the gun, although Lu Bu could deal with it, he couldn't turn defense into offense for a while. Ma Chao swept the tip of the dragoon half a circle and slammed it towards Lu Bu's waist and abdomen, Lu Bu hurriedly raised his halberd to resist, it is true that with old age, martial arts can't catch up with the past.

However, Lu Bu's experience is still there, and after the two fought fifty times, Lu Bu looked a little tired. Ma Chao was still too young, and when he saw a defensive gap in Lu Bu, Ma Chao stabbed Lu Bu in the abdomen with a shot. That shot was about to stab Lu Bu, but Lu Bu leaned back in an instant, lay on the back of the horse, and then swept towards Ma Chao with the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand like a cloud.

Ma Chao was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately the armor on his body resisted this halberd for him, and Fang Tian's halberd only cut through his armor. Ma Chao hurriedly turned his horse and fled, saying that he was still careless, and Lu Bu deliberately sold the flaws to himself.

Ma Chao was defeated and retreated, and Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to wave his army in pursuit. The 5,000 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry met the brave and warlike Xiliang Iron Cavalry, a strong opponent, although the Lu Bu army was brave, but the Xiliang Cavalry was superior in number.

A big battle between the two sides lasted for two hours, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Lu Bu also suffered several wounds in the clash between his horses and horses. Cao Cao saw that the Western Liang army was retreating, and on the one hand, he ordered Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Cao Ren to lead the cavalry to support Lu Bu, and on the other hand, he ordered Cao Chun to lead 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride around the rear of the Western Liang army.

Ma Chao was leading the army with Han Sui to confront Cao Cao's army, and the rear army came to report that Cao Chun had cut off the back road, and Ma Chao sent Pang De to lead 500 cavalry to support. When Pang De led the troops, he first stabilized his position, led the Xiliang army to charge together, and rode a big melee with the tiger and leopard.

Pound and Cao Chun exchanged horses, Cao Chun fought for twenty times, lost to Pound, and rode away. Pang De was about to pursue, but when he saw the rear sergeants killing each other, Pang De was shocked, it turned out that Yang Qiu took the opportunity to turn back.

Yang Qiu led his troops to kill Pang De, and Pang De turned around to fight Yang Qiu. At this time, Cao Chun saw that the enemy army was in chaos, and returned to the army to kill, and under the attack from both sides, he defeated Pang De.

Pang De fought his way out of the encirclement, took his injuries to see Ma Chao and Han Sui, and said that Yang Qiu had rebelled. Han Sui was shocked and angry, and Ma Chao persuaded him: "Now the defeat is decided, and only by scattering and fleeing can we escape!" ”

Han Sui then ordered the candidates, Cheng Yin, Liang Xing and others to disperse and flee, and Ma Chao led a thousand elite horsemen back to the camp to find Ma Dai. There was no one in the village, and Ma Chao expected that someone would offer camp, so he hurriedly rode away.

But when he saw a fire behind the tent, the soldiers and horses of the village moved together, and Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the sergeants to withdraw from Dazhai. It turned out that Yan Xing led Cao's army into the military village, and Yan Xing led the army to kill Ma Chao, and Ma Chao fought and left. On the way, Ma Dai encountered a defeated army, and Ma Chao Ma Dai led the army to fight with Yan Xing.

When Ma Chao led the army to kill, Cao Bing killed in all directions: Xu Chu in front, Xu Huang in the back, Zhang He on the left, and Cao Hong on the right. The soldiers of Xiliang killed each other.

In the melee, Ma Chao was separated from Pang De and Ma Dai, so he had to lead more than 100 horsemen to cut off the Weiqiao Bridge and wait for Ma Dai and Pang De. It was getting late, and I saw Li Kan leading an army under the bridge, and Ma Chao stopped him with a spear.

Li Kan dragged the gun away, just as Yu Ban came from behind Ma Chao, and Yu Ban shot Ma Chao with a bow. Ma Chao heard the sound of the strings behind him, and hurriedly flashed, but shot Li Kan in front, and Li Kan fell off his horse and died.

Ma Chao returned to Ma to kill Yu Ban, and Yu Ban patted the horse away. Ma Chao returned to the bridge and stationed, Cao Bing killed before and after, and the Tiger Guards took the lead, shooting Ma Chao with random arrows.

Ma Chao blocked with a gun, and the arrows landed one after another. Ma Chao ordered to rush back and forth from the horse, but Cao Bing was surrounded by a thick encirclement, and he couldn't rush out. Ma Chao shouted on the bridge and entered Hebei, and the cavalry of his entourage was cut off and besieged.

Ma Chao clashed alone in the formation, but was shot down by a dark crossbow and sat down to fight Ma Shalifei, Ma Chao fell to the ground, and Cao Bing slowly surrounded him. When it was critical, suddenly a Biao army horse came to kill in the northwest corner, it was Pang De and Ma Dai.

The two fought bravely, saved Ma Chao, led a war horse in the army to Ma Chao to ride, turned over and killed a bloody road, and looked northwest. Cao Cao learned that Ma Chao had escaped, and ordered the generals: "There is no dawn at night, so you must rush to the horses." If you get the first rank, a thousand bounties, ten thousand households. The captor was named a general. ”

All the generals were ordered, and each of them had to fight for merit and quickly pursue. Ma Chao didn't care about the lack of men and horses, so he only cared about running, and the cavalry gradually dispersed. The infantry couldn't keep up, and most of them were captured by Cao's army. There were only more than 30 horses left, and Pang De and Ma Dai looked at Longxi and went away.

Han Sui and Liang Xing fled back to Liangzhou, and Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan went south to Hanzhong to seek refuge with Zhang Lu. Cao Cao avoided dividing his troops and personally led the army to chase Ma Chao to settle down, Yang Qiu led the crowd to surrender, and Cao Cao learned that Ma Chao was far away, so he collected his troops and returned to Chang'an. The generals gathered, Cao Cao rewarded his meritorious deeds, named Yang Qiu as a liege, and ordered him to guard Weikou.

Cao Cao then ordered the class to return to Xudu, Liangzhou to join the army Yang Fu, the word Yishan, and went straight to Chang'an to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked: "Yishan is not in Liangzhou, why are you here?" ”

Yang Fu said: "Ma Chao is brave and has won the hearts of the Qiang people. If the prime minister does not take advantage of the situation to exterminate him, he will develop his strength in the future, and the counties of Longshang will not be restored to the country. I hope that the prime minister will retire and return to the army. ”

Cao Cao sighed: "I originally wanted to leave troops to recruit them, but the Central Plains is troublesome. Han Xuan is in Liaodong, so he must be guarded against, and the south is also undecided. I shall not linger long. You should protect it for me. ”

Yang Fu received the order, and recommended Wei Kang to assassinate the history of Liangzhou, and jointly led the troops to Tunji City to prevent Ma Chao. When Yang Fu was leaving, he asked Cao Cao and said: "Chang'an must leave heavy troops as backup." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "I have made up my mind, but you can rest assured." ”

Yang Fu thanked him and left. In this decisive battle, the troops of the generals of Guanzhong were basically lost, which ended the situation of the division of the generals of Guanzhong, and the counties of Guanzhong entered the scope of Cao Cao's direct control.

The generals congratulated Cao Cao, and Cao Cao smiled: "This battle depends on the strength of your civil and military forces. ”

Cao Cao rewarded the troops, left Zhang He and Gao Lantun in Chang'an, and distributed the troops from Xiliang to various departments. Zhang Hebao promoted Zhang as Jing Zhaoyin and guarded Chang'an with him.

Cao Cao's class returned to Xudu, and Emperor Liu Xie, Emperor of Han Xian, drove out of the city to greet him. Liu Xie's edict gave Cao Cao the privilege of "praising and worshipping the nameless, entering the dynasty without trending, and going to the palace with a sword", such as the story of Xiao He of the Han Dynasty.
