For two or three days in a row, the Xiliang army sat or lay down outside the gate in an orderly manner.

They were in groups of three or five, talking to each other, all lazy, and very slack.

Three days passed, and Cao Hong only saw smoke rising from the Xiliang army camp twice.

Judging from the number of times the smoke rose, he judged that the Xiliang army had run out of food.

"General Xu." Pointing to the Xiliang army outside the pass, Cao Hong asked Xu Huang, "Have you seen them raise the smoke a few times?" ”

"Twice, like." Xu Huang replied.

"It took three days for the smoke to rise twice, doesn't General Xu think it's strange?" Cao Hong asked.

Knowing what he wanted to do, Xu Huang said: "I understand what General Cao meant, but Duke Cao has ordered it before......"

"Cao Gong wants us to defend Tongguan, but he doesn't want us to stick to it." Cao Hong said: "If you can break the Xiliang army and force them to leave, Cao Gong will be very happy if he knows it." ”

"But I always feel that it is wrong." Xu Huang said: "General Cao still bears with it, since they have no food and grass, they will have to leave sooner or later." When Cao Gong and the army come, it will not be too late for us to pursue. ”

"Cao Gong led the army back to Chang'an to rest, who knows when he will come back?" Cao Hong couldn't help it, and said to Xu Huang: "General Xu refuses to go, then I'll go." ”

Dropping this, he turned around and left.

Xu Huang hurriedly followed behind and persuaded: "Otherwise, if we wait for two more days, since the Xiliang Army has no food and grass, it will have to withdraw sooner or later." If they withdraw in two days, it will not be too late for us to go out and pursue again, so why bother with a while? ”

"Most of the Xiliang army are cavalry, and when they withdraw, can we still catch up?" Cao Hong snorted coldly and said, "General Xu doesn't have to follow, I'll go out of the customs to fight alone." ”

Cao Hong insisted on getting out, but Xu Huang couldn't persuade him, and there was nothing to do behind him, when Zhong Xuan greeted him.

"Where are the two generals going?" Seeing that Cao Hong's face was not very good, and Xu Huang was embarrassed, Zhong Xuan asked.

"The Xiliang army only raised the smoke twice in three days, and I felt that they had run out of food." Cao Hong said: "The army has no food, and the soldiers of the three armies must be demoralized. I'm going to go out of the city and fight so that they know that it was a mistake to come to Tongguan. ”

"Cooking smoke only twice in three days doesn't mean anything." Zhong Xuan said: "In case they cook a few meals at a time, and most of the soldiers eat cold rice, just waiting for our army to leave the customs, what should the general do?" ”

"General Zhong is thoughtful." Cao Hong sneered and asked, "Two generals, are you so afraid of Ma Chao?" ”

was stunned by his question, Zhong Huang didn't do anything, and Xu Huang's face changed.

Xu Huang is also a fierce general, saying that he is afraid of Ma Chao, of course he is not convinced.

However, at this time, Cao Hong was making a fuss out of the customs, and if he was on the bar, Cao Hong would definitely make all kinds of sarcasm in words to stimulate him to go out of the customs together.

"You two don't dare to go out, but I do." The two of them didn't say a word, and Cao Hong shouted: "Pass the order, order all the soldiers and horses to follow me out of the customs!" ”

Although Zhong Xuan and Xu Huang were still persuading, Cao Hong's guards only listened to his orders, and one of them ran quickly to convey the order.

"Things have come to such a field, and I will no longer persuade the general." Xu Huang said: "The general is going out of the customs, and I will go with you." ”

"General Xu is really a bloody man." Cao Hong praised and said to Zhong Xuan: "The pass will be handed over to General Zhong." ”

Cao Hong had to get out of the customs, and Xu Huang could only follow.

Zhong Miao had the heart to persuade again, but Cao Hong's posture was that ten cows couldn't pull it back.

"Two generals, be careful." Zhong Xuan arched his hand to the two of them: "If you find that something is wrong, quickly withdraw to the pass, you can't fall into a death battle." ”

"Thank you, General Zhong, for the reminder." Xu Huang thanked him, but Cao Hong just arched his hand.

The five thousand Cao troops were already ready to set off, and with Cao Hong's order, they walked towards the pass.

Returning to the pass, looking at Cao Jun who drove out of the pass, Zhong Miao always felt that something was wrong.

The appearance of the Xiliang Army is indeed weird, if it is him, the army should find a way to evacuate when there is no food.

But the Xiliang Army not only did not evacuate, but many soldiers left the barracks and sat or lay down under Cao Jun's nose.

completely deviated from common sense, but Cao Hong said that the Xiliang army had no food and grass and was demoralized......

Furrowing his brows, Zhong Xuan instructed the soldiers on the side: "Pass the order, closely monitor the movement outside the customs, and report to me as soon as there is any abnormality." ”

Zhong Xuan watched Cao Hong and Xu Huang from the close.

Cao Hongze, who had left the pass, walked in front of the army, pointed to the front and said: "General Xu, you look at the military discipline of the Xiliang Army, the soldiers are scattered, as long as our army rushes and kills, it will definitely be able to succeed in a battle!" ”

"General Cao, it's better to be cautious." Xu Huang was not as optimistic as him, but said very solemnly: "After all, there are many enemy troops, and we don't know what kind of situation they are in at all. I still feel a little risky to rush out of the customs. ”

"The general is also a person who has led troops for many years." Xu Huang pursed his lips: "Why can't you even see this clue?" ”

"Maybe we're just scratching the surface." Xu Huang said: "General Cao, don't despise the enemy army too much. ”

With a contemptuous smile, Cao Hong said: "If General Xu is worried, just fight in the back, and I will challenge the Xiliang Army." ”

"The two of us went out together, how could we let the general fight alone?" Xu Huang said: "Who does General Cao think of me? ”

"Since General Xu is willing to fight with me, I hope to work hard to kill the enemy from now on." Cao Hong said with a solemn face.

Xu Huang nodded.

Cao Hong raised his weapon and pointed forward: "Soldiers, kill me!" ”

took the lead in riding a horse, and Cao Hongchong was at the forefront.

Xu Huang followed closely behind him, and the five thousand Cao troops poured like a tide towards the scattered Xiliang army.

The Xiliang army, who was lying or sitting, saw Cao Hong and Xu Huang leading the army out of the customs, but they did not make any moves, and still went their own way, as if Cao Jun did not dare to do anything to them.

When Cao's army launched a charge, the Xiliang army realized that the situation was not good.

They hurriedly got up, turned around and ran into the barracks.

Immediately following behind the Xiliang army and rushing into the barracks, Cao Hong was about to kill the Quartet but found that the barracks were empty, and even the Xiliang army that ran in just now was nowhere to be seen.

"Search for me!" didn't see Xiliangjun, Cao Hong, who was holding back the fire in his belly, roared.

The soldiers of the Cao army were about to scatter and search, when Xu Huang, who was following, shouted: "Don't move, withdraw from the camp!" ”

"General Xu, what are you doing?" Xu Huang gave a completely different order from him, and Cao Hong asked in annoyance.

"Didn't General Cao notice that something was wrong?" Xu Huang said: "Anyway, withdraw first, don't fall into the enemy's ambush!" ”
