Ma Chao went back to see Han Sui and said, "Almost catch Cao Cao!" Two generals bravely disembarked from the ship, and I don't know who it was. ”

Han Sui said: "I heard that Cao Cao selected a very strong person as the guard in front of the tent, called the 'Tiger Guard', and led it with Xiao generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Those who save Cao Cao today must be these two people. These two people are brave and powerful, Xu Chu people are called 'tiger idiots', and Dian Wei people are called 'ancient evils'; ”

Ma Chaoshen thought so, he had already collided with Dian Wei that day, and the two were not separating, but he could see that Dian Wei did not do his best.

Han Sui said: "Now that Cao Cao crosses the river, after attacking me, he can attack it quickly, and he cannot be allowed to set up a camp." If you set up a camp, it will be difficult to get rid of it. ”

Ma Chao said: "With the foolishness of my nephew, it is the best policy to only refuse to live on the north bank so that he cannot cross the river." ”

Han Sui discussed: "The virtuous nephew guards the village, and I lead the army to fight Cao Cao along the river, what if?" ”

Seeing that Han Sui insisted on fighting, Ma Chao had no choice but to agree, and said to Han Sui: "Let Pang De be the pioneer and go with my uncle." ”

So Han Sui and Pang De had 50,000 soldiers and arrived in Weinan. Cao Cao ordered the generals to lure the enemy on both sides of the road. Pound first led more than a thousand iron horsemen, and the conflict came. At the beginning of the shouting, the men and horses fell into the pit. Pound jumped up, jumped out of the pit, stood on the flat ground, slashed several people with a knife, and cut out of the encirclement on foot.

Han Sui was trapped in the heart, and Pang De rescued him on foot, but he met Cao Yong, the general of Cao Ren's department, and was slashed by Pang De under the horse. Pang De seized Cao Yong's war horse, opened a bloody road, rescued Han Sui, and threw himself to the southeast.

The Cao soldiers came behind him, and Ma Chao led the army to respond, defeated the Cao soldiers, and rescued most of the military horses. The two armies fought until dark before they returned to their respective armies, and Han Sui ordered people to count the men and horses, folded the two generals Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng, and killed more than 200 people in the pit.

Ma Chao and Han Sui discussed: "If the relocation is delayed for a long time, Cao Cao will set up a camp in Hebei, and it will be difficult to retreat from the enemy; Why don't you take the light ride tonight and go to the camp. ”

Han Sui added: "It is necessary to divide the troops to rescue each other. ”

So Ma Chao rode as the front, and Pang De and Ma Dai were the back, and he went that night.

Cao Cao collected his troops from Tunweibei and said to the generals: "The thieves deceived me and did not set up a fence, and they will come to rob the camp." It can scatter ambushes and empty its army. When the horn sounded, the ambush soldiers were exhausted, and they could be captured with a single drum. ”

The generals followed the order, and the ambush had been arranged. That night, Ma Chao first asked Ma Ruan to lead thirty horsemen to the outpost. Ma Ruan saw that there was no one in the village to guard him, so he went straight to the Chinese army. Cao Cao's army saw the arrival of the Xiliang soldiers, so he put up the cannon. The ambushes were exhausted on all sides, but only more than 30 horsemen were surrounded. Ma Ruan was just about to break through, Gao Ran led his troops to rush over, Ma Ruan couldn't resist the enemy, and was slashed and killed by Gao Ran. Ma Chao has been swarming and killing with Pang De and Ma Daibing in three ways since he was behind.

That night, the two armies fought in a scuffle, until dawn, and each collected his troops. Ma Chaotun troops Weikou, day and night, attacking back and forth. Cao Cao chained the raft in the Wei River and made three pontoon bridges to connect to the south bank. Cao Ren led the army to set up a village in the river, and connected the grain and grass vehicles as a barrier.

After Ma Chao found out, he taught the sergeants to carry a bunch of grass each, carry the fire, and Han Sui led the army to the front of the village, piled up the straw, and set the fire. Cao Bing couldn't resist the enemy and abandoned the village. The cars and pontoons were all burned down. The Xiliang soldiers won a great victory and intercepted the Wei River.

Cao Cao couldn't afford to set up a camp, and he was worried. Xun You suggested: "It can be said that the river sand and soil build an earthen city, which can be defended." ”

Cao Cao allocated 30,000 soldiers to build and kill the sand city, and Ma Chao sent Pang De and Ma Dai to lead 500 elite horsemen each to clash back and forth; And because the sand and soil were not strong, it collapsed when it was built, and Cao Cao had nothing to do.

At this time, it was the end of September, and the weather was cold, and the clouds were dense and could not disperse for days. Cao Cao was depressed in the village, and suddenly someone reported: "Lou Gui has come back from collecting grain and grass." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and quickly summoned the strategist Lou Gui to meet him. Lou Gui asked: "The prime minister wants to cross the Weishui River and camp for a long time, why not take advantage of the time to build it now?" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "In the land of sand, it is impossible to build a fortress. What is the best plan for Zibo? ”

Lou Gui replied with a smile: "The clouds are covered for days, and the wind is together, and it will be frozen." After the wind rose, he ordered the soldiers to carry soil and splash water, and compared to the dawn, the earth city was already completed. ”

Cao Cao then understood, and sighed: "Lou Zibo's plan, I can't do it." ”

This night the north wind was blowing, Cao Cao drove the whole army to carry the soil and splash water, because there was no tool to hold water, use burlap bags to make cloth bags to hold water to pour, just build the earthen wall and freeze. By daybreak, the sand and water were frozen, and the earth city had been built.

Carefully reported to Ma Chao, Ma Chao led the troops to look at it, and secretly marveled at Cao Cao's resourcefulness. The next day, Ma Chaoji's army marched with drums. Cao Cao personally rode out of the camp, with only Xu Chu and Dian Wei behind.

Cao Cao raised his whip and shouted: "Cao Du rode here, please come out and answer." ”

Ma Chao rode out with a gun, and Cao Cao said with a smile: "You can't deceive me into setting up a camp, and now my army was built overnight, why don't you surrender early!" ”

Ma Chao was furious and wanted to clash and step forward to capture Cao Cao, but he saw Xu Chu and Dian Wei guarding Cao Cao behind him. Dian Wei Ma Chao already recognized that another fierce man with a broad waist and a round waist glared at Ma Chao with round eyes, and was about to pull out of the horse with a steel knife in his hand.

Ma Chaoxin said that the person must be Xu Chu, so he raised the tip of the spear and asked the dragon rider: "I heard that there is a tiger marquis in the army, where is An?" ”

Xu Chu raised the knife and shouted: "I am Xu Chu of Qian County!" ”

Xu Chu's eyes flashed and he was majestic. Ma Chao didn't dare to move, so he reined in and returned, and Cao Cao also led Xu Chu and Dian Wei back to the village.

Cao Cao said to the generals: "The thief also knows that Zhong Kang is the tiger marquis!" ”

Since then, the army has called Xu Chu the tiger marquis, and Xu Chu said proudly: "A certain day will capture Ma Chao." ”

Dian Wei was silent, Cao Cao glanced at him, and then said to Xu Chu: "Ma Chao is brave, and he can't be underestimated." ”

Xu Chu bowed to Cao Cao and said, "A certain oath to fight to the death!" ”

Cao Cao immediately sent someone to write a war letter, saying that Huhou Shan and Ma Chao would fight a decisive battle in Japan. Ma Chao took the letter and said angrily: "How dare you deceive each other like this!" ”

Ma Chao immediately replied, saying that he swore to kill the "tiger idiot" the next day.

The next day, the two armies went out of camp and formed a formation. Ma Chao divided Pang De into the left wing, Ma Dai as the right wing, and Han Sui took the Chinese army. Ma Chao raised his gun and rode the horse, and shouted before going out of battle: "Tiger idiot, come out!" ”

Cao Cao secretly admired, turned back to the generals under the banner of the door and said: "Ma Chao does not reduce Lu Bu's bravery!" ”

Before the words fell, Xu Chu slapped the horse and danced the knife, and Ma Chao fought with a gun. The two fought while riding their horses and waving their weapons, and Ma Chao saw that he couldn't gain the upper hand in wrestling with Xu Chu, so he accelerated his attack again.

But I saw that Xu Chu's nine-eared elephant trunk knife was dancing so tightly that Ma Chao's spear couldn't pierce it at all. The two fought for more than 30 times, and the winner was indistinguishable. The horses were tired, so they returned to the army, changed horses, and came to fight in front of the battle.

The two fought for more than 20 years, regardless of victory or defeat. Xu Chu rose into battle, and Pegasus returned to the formation, took off his armor, took off his upper robe, and tied it around his waist. I saw Xu Chu's muscles and muscles protruding, and he was very majestic, Xu Chu lifted the knife naked, turned over on the horse, and came to fight Ma Chao.

The two armies were shocked, and Han Sui watched the battle on the battlefield and exclaimed: "The old man has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has not seen today's battle!" ”

Xu Chu and Ma Chao fought for more than 30 times, Xu Chu raised his knife and slashed Ma Chao, Ma Chao dodged, and stabbed Xu Chu in the heart with a shot. Xu Chu abandoned the knife and grabbed the gun. The two grabbed the gun on the knife and fought hard, Xu Chu was strong, and with a sound, he broke the gun shaft, and each took half a gun shaft and beat it on the horse.

Cao Cao was worried that Xu Chu would make a mistake, so he ordered Zhang He and Cao Hong to attack Pegasus. Pang De and Ma Dai saw that Cao General was coming out, and led the two wings of iron cavalry under their command, rampage, and killed the future. Han Sui also led the army to follow and kill.

For a while, Cao Bing was in chaos, and Xu Chu was hit by two arrows in his arms. The generals hurriedly retreated into the village, Ma Chao went straight to the edge of the trench, and Cao Bing was injured most of them. Cao Cao ordered the army to hold on and not go out behind closed doors. Ma Chao returned to Weikou and said to Han Sui: "I see that the evil fighter is not as good as Xu Chu, and he is really a 'tiger idiot'!" ”

Cao Cao expected that Ma Chao could use a plan to break it, so he secretly ordered Xu Huang and Zhu Ling to cross the river to camp and attack before and after. One day, Cao Cao saw Ma Chao leading hundreds of horsemen in the city, rushing straight to the front of the village, the bow and arrow could not stop him, and Ma Chao rode back and forth like flying. Cao Cao looked at it for a long time, hated that Ma Chao couldn't be used by him, threw the hood to the ground, and sighed: "The horse is not dead, I have no place to bury!" ”
