192. Cut off the beard and abandon the robe
Cao Cao sent Zhong Harrier to Jincheng to meet Han Sui, and at the same time began to think about how to defeat the Ma family father and son opposite. Although relying on Han Sui to make a move to cut off Ma Teng's foundation, Ma Teng still occupies half of the city and land in Yongzhou, and Cao Cao plans to take it back first. At this time, something Chen Jiao came out and said: "The lord can make an army go around the back of Ma Teng, choose an opportunity to cut off its grain and grass, and the army will retreat if it has no food." “
Cao Cao immediately nodded in agreement, and then sent the general Xiahou Yuan to lead 5,000 cavalry to cut off his grain route. Guo Jia was a little worried: "Ma Teng is also a person who knows the soldiers, and his grain road must be protected by a large number of men and horses, so it may be difficult to attack, so it is better to think of another way." Cao Cao shook his head after hearing this and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I think that Ma Teng's father and son are just brave men, even if someone escorts grain and grass, how can they be Miaocai's opponents!" As a result, Cao Cao still ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead his troops forward.
In the turn of the day, Ma Chao made people challenge under the city. The soldiers scolded Cao Cao for three generations. This annoyed Cao Hong at the head of the city, and he did not wait for Cao Cao's order, and ordered Kaicheng to lead the army out of the city to fight Ma Chao! In the city, Cao Cao was discussing countermeasures with his fellow conspirators, and suddenly a soldier came to report: "General Cao Hong has gone out of the city to fight the horses!" "Ahh Cao Cao shouted and urgently ordered Xiahoudun and Li Tong to rush to rescue Cao Hong.
Besides, after Cao Hong led his troops out of the city, he went straight to Ma Chao to kill, Ma Chao thought to himself: "If you kill him at once, the people in the city will not come out easily." Why don't you fight with him a little longer, so that the rest of the city can come out. After making up his mind, he only used three points of strength to fight Cao Hong. But even so, Cao Hong is still not an opponent. When Cao Hong found out, he wanted to retreat, but found that he couldn't get away at all. As long as he stops slightly, he will be stabbed to death by Ma Chao. At this time, Cao Hong felt scared, and said in his heart: "Am I going to die here today?" “
At this moment, Xiahoudun and Li Tong led people to kill, and the two went straight to Ma Chao to kill. As soon as Ma Chao saw someone coming, the big gun stabbed out violently, and Cao Hong was already at the end of the crossbow. Seeing Ma's oversized spear coming, he tried his best to dodge, but only dodged the vital point, and was stabbed in the left shoulder by a shot. "Ahh Cao Hong shouted, threw the big knife, and fell on the horse's back and was defeated. Ma Chao failed to kill Cao Hong with one shot, and secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, he had the heart to chase after him, and at this time Xiahoudun and Li Tong were killed. This Xiahoudun knew that Ma Chao was powerful, so he deliberately slowed down the horse, letting Li Tong in front, and he was fortunate to sneak attack behind.
Li Tong didn't know his purpose, so he slashed at Ma Chao with the big knife in his hand. What kind of person is Ma Chao, he can see the flaw in this trick at a glance. His big gun was raised, and the latter came first, and in Li Tong's incredible gaze, a shot pierced into his lower abdomen. Then he picked Li Tong down under the horse with his right hand, and this Li Tong was killed by him without making a move under Ma Chao!
Xiahoudun behind him was immediately shocked, he didn't fight with Ma Chao, he turned his horse and left! Ma Chao immediately led the army to cover the killing, and the army went straight to the moat under the city of Chang'an, and after the Cao army lost most of it, the rest fled into the city and did not dare to go out of the city again! Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, but considering Ma Chao's martial arts, he endured it! just waited for Xiahou Yuan to cut off Ma Teng's grain and grass, and then went out of the city to fight with him. At the same time, he is also waiting for Xu Chu's arrow wound to heal, and at present, he can compete with Ma Chao.
Xiahou Yuan really lived up to expectations, he led the cavalry to burn the grain and grass that Ma Teng had transported from Wuwei. Ma Teng was immediately furious, and was about to order Pound to lead a large army to destroy the cavalry. At this time, Fan Chou offered a plan: "Lord, that Chang'an is a strong city and Cao Cao is personally in charge, which is difficult to conquer for a while!" If the lord took advantage of this opportunity, Cao Cao thought that the army was short of food, and took the initiative to retreat, so that he would chase after him! If you can capture Cao Cao, let alone Chang'an City, even Luoyang can be exchanged! “
Ma Teng heard that he thought so, and then discussed the details with Ma Chao's people, and began to reduce the number of troops that night, and in fact, Ma Dai and Pang De led the troops to ambush behind them. At this time, Cao Cao in the city also received a report from Xiahou Yuan, and he thought that Ma Teng's army was running out of grain and grass. In the evening, I personally waited for the city to check, and sure enough, I saw that the smoke in the Ma Teng camp was gradually decreasing. In the early morning of the second day, Ma Chao did not come to challenge, Cao Cao sent scouts to check, and the scouts came back to report: "Ma Teng's army is slowly retreating." Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stopped Guo Jia's persuasion, and personally led the army to pursue Ma Teng!
Cao Cao led the army to pursue, and when he was chasing after him, he suddenly saw that the people in front of him had blocked the way, and the leader of the young general was not Ma Chao. He pointed at Cao Cao with a big gun and shouted: "Cao thief, I will capture you today in exchange for Chang'an City!" Don't hurry up and get off the horse and give the prisoner! Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, and he sneered at Ma Chao: "The horse is rude, who will take it down with me, whether it is life or death?" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xu Chu took the lead and rushed to Ma Chao to kill! Ma Chao was just about to fight him, but at this time, Pang De shouted from the side: "Young master, this person has been handed over to me, you go and catch Cao Cao quickly!" “
As soon as Ma Chao heard this, he gave up Xu Chu and went to Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao sneered and was about to send someone to fight Ma Chao again. At this time, on the other side, Ma Dai also led the army to kill, he directly led the army to attack the middle of the Cao army, and with the powerful iron cavalry, he actually cut off the Cao army, and the Cao army was immediately disrupted. Cao Cao was also confused by the sudden change, and he didn't care about Ma Chao and hurriedly ordered the army to be organized. At this time, Ma Chao had already killed the front, and Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and went up! But he was Ma Chao's opponent there, and he only blocked 20 rounds before going down. Ma Chao didn't chase after him, he was bent on taking Cao Cao. At this time, three generals came out of the Cao army and killed Ma Chao, Ma Chao's big gun turned and slapped the horse forward to kill, and these three generals each took a knife and gun to greet Ma Chao. Looking at Ma Chao again, he was not afraid, and the big gun danced in less than three or five rounds, but he picked all three of them under the horse.
Cao Cao also couldn't control the chaotic army at this time, and when he saw that the war was so erosive, Cao Cao sighed and turned around to leave. At this moment, I heard someone in the Xiliang army shouting again: "It's Cao Cao who wears a red robe!" Cao Cao was startled and immediately took off his red robe and was still on the side, and then rode away quickly. At this time, I heard someone shouting: "The one with the long hair is Cao Cao!" Cao Cao was even more panicked, and pulled out his sword to cut off his long hair!
At this time, Ma Chao had already killed nearby, and after hearing that Cao Cao abandoned his robe and cut his beard, he ordered someone to shout: The short-haired one is Cao Cao! When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they immediately shouted. Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and then saw a banner soldier at his side, Cao Cao swung his sword to kill him, and then pulled the horn of the flag around his neck and fled. Ma Chao couldn't find Cao Cao in the chaotic army, and later learned that he fled with a flag mask! Regret it now!
