"General, this place is about twenty miles away from Xianyang. According to www.biquge.info the scout's report, a grain transport team has set off from Xianyang. A black-armored soldier half-knelt and reported to a national-faced military general what he had just received.

The national character face military general is Xu Huang who went to Xianyang to surprise attack the granary of the Xiliang coalition army, and after a night of hurrying, the five thousand Cao army rushed to Xianyang twenty miles away. Xu Huang frowned after listening to the deputy general's return, the appearance of the grain transport team disrupted Xu Huang's plan to attack Xianyang. If he continued to move forward, he would expose himself, and Xu Huang temporarily decided to change his plan. Following Xu Huang's order, five thousand Cao soldiers were ambushed in waist-high grass on both sides of the official road.

"It's not appropriate that there are only so many people escorting grain and grass." Han Cong, the general of Xianyang, rubbed his sleepy eyes and returned the official document to Wang Yi, the grain transport officer.

Wang Yi took the official document of his peers, turned over his horse, and arched his hand towards Han Cong, "Brother Han is too worried, my Xiliang coalition army of 350,000 besieged Chang'an, and it is very safe on the way." ”

"It's better to be careful." Han Cong waved his hand, and the soldiers defending the city pulled open the barricade to release the transportation team.

The 2,000-strong grain convoy left Xianyang and headed for Chang'an, and grain and grass were sent from Xianyang to Chang'an every three days. Today, however, the number of soldiers who escort grain and grass has shrunk from 5,000 to 2,000.

"General Ma, do you think this is going to work?" Farther and farther away from Xianyang, Wang Yi said very respectfully to the white-robed young general with a white cloth behind him.

The white-robed young general tore off the white cloth on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "If Cao Jun doesn't come, you can send the grain to Chang'an safe and sound; If the Cao army comes, I have already arranged it properly, and I will definitely destroy the Cao army, and then this credit will be all your General Wang's, will you still be just a small grain transport officer at that time? ”

The white-robed young general is Ma Chao, who does not know where to go, when the Xiliang coalition army feinted to attack Chang'an City, Ma Chao went straight to Xianyang with three thousand elites. Without stopping, Ma Chao rushed to Xianyang City in advance, found Wang Yi, who was the grain transport officer, and persuaded him to reduce the number of people escorting grain to 2,000. Ma Chao's words went to Wang Yi's heart, he has been in the army for many years, and he is still a small lieutenant today, and he is unwilling.

Putting down the water altar in his hand, Xiahou Yuan rubbed his numb arm and didn't care, but it didn't take long for Xiahou Yuan to feel that his limbs were weak and he couldn't use his strength at all. Such a situation appeared in large numbers in the army, and countless Cao soldiers fell. Even Cao Cao appeared to be numb all over his body and weak limbs.

Cao Shuang hurried to Cao Cao's accommodation when he learned of this situation, only to see Cao Cao half-lying and half-leaning on the couch, his face covered with clouds.

"Meet the Prime Minister." Cao Shuang straightened his clothes and saluted respectfully.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Shuang with some surprise, and his voice trembled a little, "How can you be fine?" ”

"My grandson is also puzzled, I don't know how the prime minister feels?" Cao Shuang shook his head at first, and then asked with concern.

"There are also many cases of non-commissioned officers in the army, it should be a problem with the diet." Cao Cao lit the bed with a trembling hand, then took out the tiger talisman and handed it to Cao Shuang, "Chang'an will entrust it to you for the time being." ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Cao Shuang's mouth opened wide and he was very surprised.

"You don't have a choice, this is the time for our army to survive." The tiger talisman in Cao Cao's hand, although small, was extremely heavy.

Cao Shuang can't shirk it, and he can't shirk it at this time. If this matter cannot be resolved, then the 150,000 Cao army in Chang'an will become the ghost of the Xiliang coalition army.

Cao Shuang, who rushed to the barracks, saw Xiahou Shan and a group of people distributing boiled herbs in the camp, and they did not seem to have symptoms of numbness in their bodies and weakness in their limbs. The barracks were full of soldiers lying on the ground, groaning from their mouths.

"What's going on?" Cao Shuang walked up and asked Xiahou Shan.

"In serious cases, they are already unconscious. The lighter ones can still move, but they are no longer combative. Xiahou Shan put down the medicine bowl in his hand and wiped the sweat on his face.

Cao Shuang sighed, looking at the soldier who collapsed on the ground, not to mention how anxious he was. The army does not have any combat effectiveness, if the Xiliang coalition army launches an attack at this time, there is only one ending, that is, the city is broken and people die.

"No water and no food." Cao Shuang closed the lid on the wooden barrel containing the medicinal liquid, "Organize the soldiers with milder illnesses to go up to the city wall to confuse the enemy army." ”

Xiahou Shan was stunned for a moment, and then gave up his hand to carry out Cao Shuang's order, because what Cao Shuang was holding in his hand was Cao Cao's tiger talisman, and seeing this talisman was like seeing Cao Cao himself. Looking at the back of Xiahou Shan who took the group of people who did not get sick, Cao Shuang muttered in his heart, why are we people not sick, whether it is diet or water, it is the same.

"General, the grain transport team of the Xiliang Army." Xu Huang's lieutenant Li pointed directly at the approaching grain transportation team and said to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang squinted his eyes and watched the grain transport team gradually approach. After a while, Wang Yi's grain transportation team entered Xu Huang's ambush circle, and Xu Huang raised his right hand, ready to attack at any time. The generals of the Cao army all stared at Xu Huang's right hand hanging in the air, only to see Xu Huang shake his hand fiercely.

A low horn sounded, which was the signal for Cao's army to attack. Looking at Cao Jun who rushed out of the grass, Ma Chao showed an evil smile. Wang Yi clenched the weapon in his hand and fought with Cao Jun.

The spear in Ma Chao's hand flew up and down, and every move could bloom a blood flower. Xu Huang approached Ma Chao with a big axe, the big axe came through the wind, and Ma Chao easily swung away Xu Huang's offensive with a gun. Ma Chao always had a faint smile on his face, "Among the Cao army, Xu Huang's axe is the most famous, Your Excellency should be General Xu Huang, right?" ”

"Presumably Your Excellency is General Ma Chao, right?" Xu Huang arched his hand slightly, not afraid at all.

Ma Chao took the lead in attacking, and the spear flew up and down, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, sharp and sharp. Xu Huang cautiously accepted the move and avoided Ma Chao's spear. The axe and the spear struck each other, making a golden sound and splashing sparks.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Xu Huang's face was covered with beads of sweat. Ma Chao is like a nobody, very relaxed. At this time, a Xiliang soldier rushed out and joined the battle group. With the addition of the new force, the rout of Cao's army has become a matter of time.

This Xiliang soldier is the 3,000 elites brought by Ma Chao, and they have been secretly following the grain transportation team. Ma Chao had long expected that Cao Cao would have such a move, and after returning to Xiliang, Ma Chao studied many of Cao Cao's battles in recent years, and from today's point of view, it can be regarded as a gain.

Xu Huang's deputy general Li Zhi was covered in blood, rushed to Xu Huang's body, and resisted Ma Chao, "General, go quickly." ”

"Li Zhi! Li Zhi! "Five thousand Cao troops were strangled by Xiliang's soldiers, and Xu Huang's body was also covered with wounds, and with Xu Huang's every shout, bright red blood gushed out from the wounds.

Thinking of Li Zhi's eyes before he died, Xu Huanghu's eyes were full of tears. After breaking out of the encirclement, Xu Huang didn't dare to slack off, and the horsewhip in his hand kept waving, running in the direction of Chang'an.

"Hurry up and chase Lao Tzu, chase after it." Wang Yi wiped the blood on his face, and commanded the soldiers to arrest Xu Huang, if he could capture a famous general like Xu Huang alive, would the credit be small.

"Xu Gongming, next time I see you will not be so cheap." Ma Chao reined in the war horse and looked at the direction where Xu Huang was going.
