Cao Cao never expected that Jing Xiang would dare to take the lead before him.

Hearing the scout's report, Cao Cao was first shocked, and then said angrily: "This Pang Shiyuan is arrogant and presumptuous enough. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "Xiliang light horse, coming and going like the wind, if we want to deal with it, in addition to ambush in advance, we can only rely on the tiger and leopard to resist, Pang Tong's move, in Guo's view, is not a provocation, but to confirm whether the prime minister's army has arrived in Chenliu, as a judgment of where the main force of our army is!" ”

Guo Jia said that, Cao Cao suddenly realized, and said to Guo Jia: "Then Feng Xiao thinks, how to deal with it?" ”

Guo Jia thought for a long time, and said to Cao Cao: "The tiger and leopard cavalry has gone to the direction of Xuzhou a few days ago, if the Xiliang light cavalry is allowed to gallop vertically and horizontally, it is not difficult for Pang Tong to see that we want to attack Shouchun first, and now Chen Liucheng is in the city, there are only thousands of Hebei cavalry left, Guo thinks that these cavalry can change their armor, make the appearance of tiger and leopard cavalry, and strive to meet the incoming enemy!" ”

"Could it be that Feng Xiao wants to deceive Pang Tong, thinking that my army wants to attack Luoyang this time?" Cao Cao said, but Guo Jia shook his head slightly and said: "Pang Tong is not easy to deceive, this time the Tiger Prison Pass is only a light horse, which is enough to show that Pang Tong's move is just a temptation." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao was silent, Guo Jia said again: "For this occasion, Guo only seeks to imperceptibly confuse Pang Tong's decision, once that Pang Tong mistakenly thinks that our army is all in Chenliu, he can change Jingxiang's overall decision-making, if Zhuge Liang neglects the city defense, it is also the future of our Shouchun, Hefei can be tricked!" ”

"Feng Xiao's words are very lonely." Cao Cao said and nodded in praise.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao frowned and said, "But now, although the scout returns." The Tiger Prison Pass light cavalry is exhausted, but we don't know the specific number of Xiliang light cavalry, once the Hebei cavalry, it is difficult to defeat the Xiliang light cavalry, wouldn't it expose the news that the tiger and leopard cavalry are not in Chenliu? ”

"Xiliang military horses, I'm afraid I don't dare to engage our army!" When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "Only the tens of thousands of military horses under the command of Luoyang, daring to take the initiative to provoke, is already the limit, how can Pang Tong not know." The Prime Minister's Army. One of them is hard to beat? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded again and again, and immediately ordered someone to summon Cao Hong to point the Hebei cavalry to block the invading Xiliang light cavalry. Only half an hour. The gate of Chen Liucheng was wide open. Cao Hong led thousands of cavalry and went all the way to the direction of Tiger Pass.

Chen Liucheng's movements were also difficult to conceal from Pang Tong's ears and eyes, and he crossed the river with Cao Cao's army. The Xiliang scouts around Chen Liu's surroundings galloped continuously, and when he learned that Cao Cao had sent a brigade of black-armored cavalry out of the city to chase the enemy, Pang Tong was inevitably shocked.

"Revisit the enemy's flag!"

When he was in Xiangyang before, Pang Shanmin and a group of strategists all expected Cao Cao to attack Shouchun first, but now the black-armored cavalry is from Chen Liu, the elite of the black-armored cavalry of the Cao army, only Cao Cao personally guards the tiger and leopard cavalry, if the tiger and leopard ride in Chenliu, then doesn't it mean that Cao Cao has other plans for this battle?

But in the future, whether it is to attack Luoyang or perhaps, even if Cao Cao's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses win, I am afraid that they will suffer a lot of damage.

Pang Tong thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible, but now that Pang Tong knew that Guo Jia was already in charge of Chen Liucheng, with that person's plan, there would be frequent accidents in the future.

Not long after, there was a return from the horse, saying that the black armor was riding finely, waving the banner of the word "Cao", and this kind of banner, except for Cao Cao, only Cao Cao's relatives can be used.

When Pang Tong heard this, his heart sank, and then he muttered: "Isn't it really a tiger and a leopard ride?" ”

"Is the military advisor afraid of the tiger and leopard riding?" Ma Chao was beside Pang Tong, and when he saw Pang Tong's expression change, he said with a rebellious face: "It's better to have a confrontation with him and distinguish its authenticity." ”

"Meng Qi wants to have a confrontation, lead that Cao Cao, and attack the tiger prison?" Pang Tong said, Ma Chao said with a smile: "Although the Cao army is called more than 100,000 troops, but now that it has just arrived, the combat power will not be strong, although my Xiliang iron cavalry is not as fast as the light cavalry, but if you meet Cao Cao's army, it is always more than enough to escape." ”

Seeing Pang Tong's expression, he was quite moved, Ma Chao hurriedly said: "Besides, the military advisor wants to know whether it is the elite of tigers and leopards, so Ma will lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to test its level, if this army and horses are not tigers and leopards, it can also confirm the movements of the Cao army, which is no different from what Tang Hou expected!" ”

"What Meng Qi said is extremely true!"

Pang Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this, before Pang Tong only thought of using many calculations to explore Cao Jun's reality and reality, but now Ma Chao's method of opening and closing is undoubtedly more appropriate.

Pang Tong immediately followed the good flow, and secretly said in his heart: If it is just that Guo Fengxiao's strategy, he will use Meng Qi's brave force to break it! Once it is confirmed that the "Tiger and Leopard Ride" is fake, it is enough to show that Cao Cao's main force has left Chen!

Thinking of this, Pang Tong immediately ordered Ma Chao to point 5,000 cavalry to intercept and kill the invading enemy.

Cao Hong led the Hebei cavalry all the way to come, did not encounter the slightest obstruction, where he passed, the Xiliang light cavalry retreated one after another, Cao Hong got Cao Cao's edict, and did not strive to chase and kill, but tried his best to create the cavalry under his command, which was the world-famous Cao army force.

Running all the way for more than 30 miles, Cao Hong was no longer able to find the traces of Xiliang's light cavalry, so he wanted to lead the army back.

When Cao Hong heard this, he was shocked, and secretly said that the prime minister and Mr. Fengxiao only ordered him to be the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry and drive the Xiliang light cavalry, but now that the tiger prison is in the pass, he dares to send a large army to come, and it is debatable whether this battle is fought or not.

Cao Hong didn't think that these Hebei elites under his command did not have the strength to fight in the face of the Xiliang army, but he was worried that if he forcibly clashed, it would ruin the strategy of the prime minister and the military division, but Cao Hong thought about it, and if he retreated gloomily at this moment, wouldn't he be more solid under his command and horses, and he would not dare to fight, and the tiger and leopard cavalry would be in name only?

When I was thinking about it, there were scouts coming one after another, saying that the soldiers and horses that came were the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and its banner was the "horse" family powerhouse of the Xiliang signboard.

When Cao Hong heard this, he hurriedly said to the left and right generals: "Before Zhongkang, everyone said that Xiliang Ma was super brave and unstoppable, if it was this person, Cao was afraid that he would not be his opponent!" ”

Hearing this, they were also quite hesitant, and one of them said to Cao Hong: "It's just that if the general avoids the war, how should the prime minister explain it?" ”

When Cao Hong heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "The two of you think that if you are a tiger and a leopard ride, you can dare to fight with the Xiliang Iron Horse?" ”

"The elite of the tiger and leopard are all one hundred, that is, Ma Chao's pro-army, why are you afraid?" After a partial general, he then persuaded: "It's just that the general should know that we are not real tiger and leopard riders, although Hebei Erlang under his command is a strong team, I am afraid that compared with Xiliang Iron Cavalry, there is still a gap!" ”

Cao Hong nodded again and again when he heard this, and immediately wanted to summon the army to evacuate, and was about to give an order, but he heard that another scout came to report, saying that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was already five miles away.

"The enemy is so fast!"

Hearing that the distance between the two armies was so short, Cao Hong made a decision in his heart at the moment, and said to the left and right: "For this occasion, we should line up to block the enemy, if we blindly retreat, once we are driven away, we will be more non-tiger and leopard elites!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all said yes, and all the generals knew that they could withdraw the army, and they were afraid that they would not escape the fate of being caught up by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and at that moment Cao Hong ordered thousands of cavalry troops to put a fish scale formation, once the Xiliang military horse appeared in the field of vision, it would be full of strength and chisel through the enemy formation!

Ma Chao hurriedly marched to the army, and after a while, he looked at the neat array on the opposite side, first stunned, and then laughed and said: "Let Ma see what this tiger and leopard can do!" ”

Ma Chao said, the Xiliang army rushed to attack, Cao Hong saw this, and did not back down.

The two armies met on a narrow road in the wilderness, and collided with each other in an instant, Ma Chao took the lead, struggling to enter the enemy formation, and after seeing the Cao Ziqi, he was busy picking two people and galloping.

Cao Hong saw Ma Chao coming, hurriedly responded, and shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

"Xiliang, Ma Mengqi!" Ma Chao said, raised his gun and stabbed, and said to Cao Hong: "Who are you!" ”

"Under the command of the Prime Minister, Cao Zilian!" Cao Hong learned that the brocade robe and silver-armored general on the opposite side was Ma Chao, although he was frightened, but he still shook his spirit, and fought with Ma Chao, only a few battles with Cao Hong, Ma Chao knew the foundation of his martial arts, and said to Cao Hong: "If there is only such a means, today is the time when your tiger and leopard ride will fall!" ”

Ma Chao said, Cao Hong was slightly stunned, and secretly said in his heart that sure enough, the other party had already taken his cavalry under his command and mistaken him for the elite of the prime minister, thinking of this, Cao Hong hurriedly said: "Although Cao Mou's martial arts are not good, I can't tolerate you being humiliated like this!" ”

After that, Cao Hong raised his gun and stabbed, the gun was sharp, and he was invincible.

Ma Chao blocked several shots in a row, and then looked at the Cao army on the left and right, none of them were the opponents of the Xiliang army horses under his command, and he sneered in his heart at the moment, and the secret path was not as expected by the military division, if the strongest elite of the Cao army was just such a good, how could the tiger and leopard ride break through the prestige of the past.

Looking at Cao Hong again, Ma Chao's eyes were already full of playfulness, and he shouted: "When Ma is easy to deceive? Even at such a level, you dare to falsely claim to be a tiger and a leopard? My military advisor has long expected that you are all fakes! ”

Ma Chao said, Cao Hong was shocked, and in an instant, he saw a silver light flying by, and Cao Hong's helmet had been picked off by Ma Chao.

Ma Chao succeeded in a blow, the offensive was more aggressive, the silver spear was over, Cao Hong could only resist, but there was no power to fight back, more than ten years later, the iron gun in Cao Hong's hand was also picked off, Ma Chao didn't say much, when the two yards were wrong, he grabbed Cao Hong, laughed and said: "You wait for the Lord to be caught, why not descend early?" ”

When the Hebei cavalry heard this, they did not surrender, but only retreated, and Ma Chao did not chase after him, threw Cao Hong on the ground, and said to Cao Hong: "Tiger and leopard cavalry commander? ”

When Cao Hong heard this, he was ashamed and couldn't speak, Ma Chao saw this, he didn't think he was angry, and said to the left and right: "And catch him back to the tiger prison, he is also a person surnamed Cao, and he should be a relative of Cao Cao." ”

After that, Ma Chao was slightly stunned again, and secretly said in his heart that these rabbles this time also dare to falsely claim to be tigers and leopards, and the generals may just be ordinary people under Cao Cao, if they return to the pass and make a joke in front of the military advisor, it is not appropriate.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao forced his eyes at Cao Hong and said to Cao Hong: "Now that you are captured, you should tell Ma who you are!" (To be continued......)
