649 Meet Han Sui in person
However, what Ma Chao never expected was that not long after the bow and arrow landed, as a fishy smell wafted by, the horses began to riot, and they didn't listen to the owner's shouts at all, kept sniffing their noses, and ran towards Cao Ying's side.
"This, how the hell did this come back?!" Ma Chao was stunned, confused for a while, and at a loss.
"It's not good, Cao Cao used a lure, go and stop the horses." A leader of the Qiang soldiers saw the doorway and said anxiously.
As soon as Ma Chao heard this, the beads of sweat on his head immediately fell, and he immediately turned on his horse and led a team of cavalry to intercept the fleeing horses.
Ma Chao made another mistake, since these rags could lure those horses, the other horses were also attracted, and before they could intercept them, the horses under the soldier's crotch became extremely manic, and they could not be stopped at all.
By the time Ma Chao and the others reluctantly got their horses back and bolted them up, the more than 1,000 horses had already smelled and ran away for several miles, and they couldn't catch up at all.
Looking at the galloping horses behind him, Wang Baoyu was arrogant in his heart, in fact, he felt good when he was a Bi Ma Wen!
Wang Baoyu commanded to Xiao Tianma: "Old man, shout two more voices!" Look at our majesty! ”
Xiaotianma and Wang Baoyu's temper were similar, and they couldn't stand the praise, so they immediately raised their horses' heads and let out a earth-shattering neigh, and when this voice went down, the horses ran more happily and chased after Xiaotianma frantically.
Seeing Wang Baoyu coming back with a group of horses from afar, Cao Cao smiled brighter than spring, and he immediately ordered the camp gate to be opened and all these good horses in his pocket.
When the soldiers of Cao Ying saw this situation, they all praised Wang Baoyu for being such a magical character, and his fighting spirit increased greatly. At the same time, Cao Bing's cavalry team expanded, and Xu Chu hurriedly began training to keep it for future wars.
Ma Chao was furious, he couldn't bear it in the end, and led the army to catch up. Cao Cao ordered to hold on without fighting, bows and arrows waited, Ma Chao tossed for a long time, but found nothing, but lost some soldiers and horses, and retreated helplessly.
Not long after Ma Chao went back, several Qiang leaders surrounded him and held on for a winter, without fighting a battle and without any benefits, but now they have lost so many good horses, the more they think about it, the more cost-effective it becomes, and they are clamoring for Ma Chao to compensate.
Because of the region, the Qiang soldiers are very united, Ma Chao doesn't want to have another conflict with them, there is civil strife, at first he can only swallow his anger, persuade him with good words, and compensate everything he can compensate.
But the leaders of the Qiang soldiers still felt that it was not enough, and later they even spoke disrespectfully and scolded a few words. Ma Chao's subordinates have been holding back their anger for a long time, and they just give us anger, and they kick their noses in the face and scold our boss? So all the shouting broke out, counting the Qiang soldiers' laziness and cooking.
The two sides added fists and feet, and spoke viciously to each other, Ma Chao was caught in the middle and no one could persuade him, and finally the leader of the Qiang soldiers left angrily with his subordinates.
Ma Chao endured the humiliation and chased for more than ten miles, but the people were so determined that they refused to turn back.
As a result, Ma Chao's life became even more difficult, and the soldiers almost reached the point of eating one meal a day, with yellow faces and thin muscles, gritting their teeth and persevering.
They are all brothers who were born and died, Ma Chao saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but what made him especially angry was that Han Sui obviously still had a lot of grain and grass there, and every time he sent someone to ask for it, he deduced that he didn't have enough to eat here, and he wouldn't give it to him if he lived or died. If it weren't for Han Sui's request, Ma Chao couldn't wait to lead his troops to finish Han Sui's nest first.
Ma Chao was full of bitterness and couldn't vent his depression, because there was no wine in the camp, and it became a luxury to want to drink to relieve his boredom. At night, he always has trouble sleeping, resenting the injustice of God, pitying himself for his martial arts and ambitions, but he has repeatedly failed, and now he lacks food and drink, like a lost dog!
But Cao Cao's old thief is like heaven's help, every time the evil turns into good fortune, even the water of the Wei River can set off monstrous waves for him, and it can also break the ice for him. Cao Cao's old thief is described as obscene and vicious, God, why do you treat him like this, and why do you treat me like this!
Ma Chao was angry, and when he heard that the Qiang soldiers were leaving, Cao Cao was so happy that he slapped his thigh, and thanked God again and again for his mercy, and he was loyal to the king and the people.
Wang Baoyu thought that Cao Cao could attack Ma Chao this time, but he waved his hand and said: "Ma Chao is now a trapped beast, if he goes to attack this time, he will be placed in a Jedi to fight, it is better to avoid its edge first, and when it is exhausted, it can be annihilated in one fell swoop." ”
"Are we still staying like this, doing nothing?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Raise troops in three days and attack Han Sui first!" Cao Cao said.
"Lao Cao, Han Sui's current power is super stronger than Ma, and he has a solid Tongguan, can he win?"
"Hehe, I can't win the fight for a while, but I have to go to meet Han Sui." Cao Cao sneered.
"What if Ma Chao is behind him?"
"That depends on the depth of Han Sui's friendship with Ma Chao." Cao Cao's face was full of confidence.
Three days later, when the spring breeze was warm, Cao Cao personally led an army of 50,000 and went straight to the city of Tongguan, and sent another 30,000 troops to set up an ambush on the road to intercept Ma Chao.
Ma Chao heard the news, but he didn't take any action, but what he considered was that since the coalition army started its army, except for the battle in the grove, almost all of it has been consumed is its own soldiers and horses, and now there is a shortage of grain and grass, but Han Sui is ruthless, no matter if he doesn't ask, there is no mercy at all. It is also necessary to let Han Sui let some blood, and at the same time consume some of Cao's troops.
Han Sui heard that Ma Chao did not raise troops, he was depressed, and saw that Cao Cao was two miles away from the city and stopped moving, and he didn't know what Cao Cao was doing, so he led an army of 20,000 and rushed out of Tongguan.
"Old Han Sui really did not reduce the courage of the year!" Cao Cao saw Han Sui's team and couldn't help but praise it.
Han Sui written in the book doesn't seem to be very old, Wang Baoyu was puzzled for a while, since he came with the army, he hadn't seen Han Sui once.
Han Sui's army seemed to be more energetic than Ma Chao's, well-dressed, and relatively new-looking weapons. As a team of flags unfurled, an old general riding on a yellow horse appeared, about 1.8 meters tall, holding a big knife in his hand, with a fair face and long hair, but he looked quite kind.
"This is Han Sui?" Wang Baoyu asked in surprise, this age is probably older than Cao Cao, but the book is written in his forties, it seems that not all of the records in Luo Guanzhong's book are real history.
"Hehe, I've been familiar with it for a long time, it's him, no doubt." Cao Cao smiled, threw half of the Heavenly Sword to Wang Baoyu, and rode his horse into the formation of the two armies.
Everyone was taken aback by Cao Cao's actions, and the two generals behind Han Sui immediately picked up their weapons and were about to rush forward, at such a close distance, I was afraid that it would be very difficult for Cao Cao to escape.
