Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan thinks that Huang Jingming's death is related to the source, and thinks that the source is hiding something from him, of course, in Ma Xiaoquan's brain consciousness, there is such an area, and the source cannot be explored, the source said, Ma Xiaoquan also hid information

After ++++++++++++++++ left the village, Ma Xiaoquan did not return to Yecheng, but rushed to the front line of the exchange of fire between Cao Cao and Ma Chao and Han Sui with his two children.

At this time, it was the end of May of the sixteenth year of Jian'an, and in order not to disturb the battle between Cao Cao and Ma Chao, Han Sui and others, Ma Xiaoquan had been hiding his identity.

The soldiers of the two armies were also suspicious of Ma Xiaoquan, but seeing that he was with two children, they thought it was a fleeing citizen, so they didn't care too much.

Cao Cao, since crossing the river, changed the declining trend of being chased and killed, opened bows left and right, and temporarily tied with the rebels.

Han Sui and Ma Chao wanted to cross the river and fight Cao Cao to the death, but they had no choice but to work hard for several months, but to no avail.

Cao Cao's side also suffered from the inability to pass Tongguan and stagnated, and both sides actively planned other countermeasures

In August, Cao Cao personally rushed to Tongguan, and in September, Cao Cao's army finally reached the west bank of the Yellow River.

In Hexi, Cao Cao used box trucks as a fence to build a road along the west bank of the Yellow River, leading to the mouth of the Wei River, squeezing forward step by step.

Although the Kansai rebels were brave and good at fighting, the iron cavalry was not invincible.

Faced with the box car formation that could not be rushed, Han Sui and Ma Chao were helpless and were forced to retreat from Tongguan on the eastern front to the mouth of the Weihe River.

Cao Cao saw Han Sui and Ma Chao retreating, and took advantage of the fire to rob and swallow the territory of the Guanxi rebels on the west bank of the Yellow River in one fell swoop

Cao Jun, inside the main camp.

Cao Cao looked at the topographic map with high spirits, raising his eyebrows proudly while making deployments.

"Xiao Cao!" Just as he was proud, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Hahaha, it's Lord Shangxian, please come in, please come in, haha"

Cao Cao personally pulled the curtain of the tent and let Ma Xiaoquan in.

Ma Xiaoquan was accompanied into the tent by his son Ma Zheng and a little girl whose eyes were covered with strips.

"Huh?" Cao Cao saw the little girl and asked curiously, "Lord Shangxian, who is this little girl?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Oh, hehe, this is the granddaughter of a friend of mine, because of the change in the family, the friend entrusted the daughter to me." ”

"Oh, no wonder Lord Shangxian said goodbye last time, it turned out that he went to see the old man?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and changed the topic: "Xiao Cao, how is the war now?" ”

Cao Cao laughed, pointed to the topographic map and said: "Lord Shangxian, you are not here during this time, then Han Sui Ma Chao has been defeated to me repeatedly, haha, in time, I will definitely take them down completely!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "Xiao Cao, I have a reluctant request, I hope you can agree." ”

Cao Cao said: "Lord Shangxian said, as long as I can do it." ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, pointed to his son Ma Zheng next to him, and said, "Let my son go with your army, no matter life or death!" ”

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this: "Lord Shangxian, what about you?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "I won't go with him, as a man of my Ma family, if you want to grow up, you must experience life and death!" ”

"This" Cao Cao hesitated, although Lord Shangxian said so, but if his son really hung up on the battlefield, then how could he explain to Lord Shangxian in the future?

"Lord Immortal, isn't this appropriate? Your son is only 10 years old! ”

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said, "What's wrong, rabbit cub, say, can you abide by the military rules?" ”

Ma Zheng stepped forward and said loudly: "Yes! ”

Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows with a smile and said to Cao Cao: "See if there is Xiao Cao?" My son, you can go and practice as you like. ”

Cao Cao was very helpless, although the son of Lord Shangxian had good nutrition, and he was taller than a ten-year-old child of the same age, but he was still a ten-year-old doll.

It's not that Cao Cao hasn't been forcibly conscripted, but the minimum age for forced conscription is thirteen years old.

"Okay, don't worry, my son will be handed over to you, from now on, this rabbit cub will practice in your army for three years, um~~ I will send my remaining sons to you to practice this in the future, time, it is also three years, as for whether they are willing to continue after three years, I don't care."

"Huh?" When Cao Cao heard this, he became miserable for a while.

"Don't be so embarrassed, my son is not a coward, Xiao Cao, the doll should be grabbed from a young age."

"That's alright!" Cao Cao finally agreed.

"Alright, then I'll go!"

"Lord Shangxian, where are you going?"

Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while and said, "Well, I have to go back to Yecheng, this girl is sick, go back and find a doctor for her." ”

Cao Cao was a little reluctant to let Ma Xiaoquan go, so he said: "Lord Shangxian, I also have a military medical officer in my army!" ”

"You are treating external injuries, this girl has a disease in her body, and your military doctors can't cure it." After speaking, Ma Xiaoquan picked up the little girl and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the disappearing back of Lord Shangxian, Cao Cao smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at Ma Zheng, who was standing straight, and ordered: "Xu Huang! ”

"The last general!"

"Incorporate this kid into your army!"

"Lord, this"

"It's an order!"

"Yes!"

Xu Huang sighed helplessly, walked in front of Ma Zheng, and said in a low voice: "You, follow me!" ”

Ma Zheng stood up and said loudly: "Yes, sir! ”

"Huh?" When Xu Huang heard this, he said in his heart: It's a little interesting, it seems that Lord Shangxian has practiced for his son

Ma Xiaoquan left the main camp of the Cao army and did not leave quickly, he found Cao Cao's civilian officer Lou Gui, handed Lou Gui a bag, and then slowly left the Cao camp.

It was also at this time that Cao Cao announced that the whole army would cross the Wei River south.

Cao Cao set up more camps along the Wei River, bluffing, and wanted to make a noise.

Sure enough, the Kwanti rebels were in the middle of the plan and rushed over the main force of the Cao army.

On the other hand, Cao Cao secretly prepared for the troop transport ship to sail into the mouth of the Wei River, and built a pontoon bridge with the boat as the water base, intending to smuggle across the Wei River.

It's just that Cao Cao's abacus was seen through by Ma Chao again.

Ma Chao responded quickly, leading people to rush and kill Cao Ying one after another, so that the Cao army after crossing the river had no way to build fortifications, plus the Cao army was mostly infantry, and it was impossible to stop Ma Chao's iron cavalry, and within five days, the Cao army had lost more than 1,000 people.

When he was frowning, Lou Gui suddenly took out the bag that Ma Xiaoquan gave him and handed it to Cao Cao, of course, Lou Gui said this: "Prime Minister, I observed it all night last night and found a very strange phenomenon, I thought about it for another night and came up with such a clever strategy, Prime Minister, please see." ”

Cao Cao looked at Lou Gui and found that the two small eyebrows on the other party's forehead were moving around very obscenely, but he didn't say anything, opened the bag and looked at it.

"Huh?" Cao Cao was amused, "This is a little interesting, Lou Gui, you came up with it?" ”

Lou Gui's face turned red, coughed a few times and said, "Yes~"

"Okay, then do as you say, come on"

That night, Cao Cao made a large effort to fill the sac with water, and divided his troops to cross south in the middle of the night, and soon built a barrier.

Not long after it was built, the Kansai rebels came in a surprise attack.

With this barrier, Cao's army effectively blocked the iron cavalry of the Guanxi rebels, and defeated the rebels in a roundabout way

Cao Jun Xu Huang in the ministry.

Ma was blinking with wide eyes, and his heart was terrified.

Since his father left, he has been a soldier in Xu Huang's army, during which he has fought several times with the Kansai rebel iron cavalry.

The Kansai Iron Cavalry was very powerful, and almost one shot at a time when it rushed to kill the camp of the army.

Ma Zheng was very inconspicuous in front of the tall horse because of his young age and small size, but watching his army being overturned and spurting blood to death by the Kansai Iron Cavalry one by one, Ma Zheng's young heart was very shocked.

In the evening, when the army rested, the horse was quietly wiping his short knife.

Xu Huang walked over, patted Ma Zheng's shoulder, and asked, "Ma Zheng, how do you feel these days?" ”

Ma Zheng stood up and said, "Report to the chief, I'm scared!" ”

Xu Huang laughed: "Scared? Hehe, it's normal to be scared, hey, it's hard for you, why don't you be transferred to the guy? ”

Ma Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to stay here!" ”

"Oh? Aren't you afraid? ”

Ma Zheng shook his head: "Uncle Xu, my father said that only those who have been afraid can live better, and only know that it is not easy to live!" ”

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment and laughed.
