Ma Chao saw Xu Chu snatching the gun and drinking, where could he get his wish? He was not Cao Yong, who was dragged off the horse by Pound, and he had no power to resist. Even if Liliang was slightly weaker than Xu Chu, it was not too weak, so the two of them competed for the gun on the horse.

Although Ma Dai's spare spear is also made of fine iron, it is not as good as Ma Chao's tiger head Zhan golden gun after all. In the competition of more than 30 combinations, Xu Chu's phoenix mouth knife also left several gaps in the center of the gun, and the depth of the gaps was greater than the gaps on the tiger head Zhan golden gun. At this time, Ma Chao and Xu Chu concentrated all their strength on this spear, and the spear was overwhelmed at that time, and the gun "click~" broke from a gap in the center.

Even though Xu Chu and Ma Chao were powerful, they didn't expect such a change to occur, and the fine iron spear was divided into two sections. The two of them were stunned at the same time, and then they each took half a gun and beat them on their horses, and they couldn't care about any moves. Xu Chu was not wearing armor, and he was red and swollen after being hit by a few shots on his body by Ma Chao. Although Ma Chao was wearing armor, Xu Chu was powerful, and Ma Chao, who was shocked by a few guns, almost wanted to vomit blood.

Cao Cao was afraid that Xu Chu would lose, so he ordered Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers to come out together and lead the troops to attack Ma Chao. How could Pang De and Ma Dai sit idly by when they saw that Cao Ying's soldiers were coming out? Both of them came out of their horses and led the Xiliang Iron Horse on a rampage. The two sides fought together, and Xu Chu and Ma Chao were separated by the soldiers.

Don't look at the two of them, the battle will not be divided between victory and defeat, but the flat confrontation Cao Bing is really not the opponent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Cao soldiers are in chaos for a while. In order to pick up the phoenix mouth treasure knife that fell back on the array, Xu Chu was hit by two arrows in his arm, and then retreated to the village with Cao Yingzhong.

Ma Chao fought all the way to the edge of the trench, and Cao Bing lost most of his men and horses. Cao Cao ordered the camp gate to be closed, and the bows and crossbows were fired, and Ma Chao was unable to enter the camp and had to collect his troops and return to the camp. When he arrived at the camp, Ma Chao said to Han Sui: "Xu Chu's belligerence is the only time I have seen it in my life, and he is really a tiger idiot!" ”

Cao Cao returned to the camp and ordered someone to treat Xu Chu's wounds, and then said to the generals: "If the horse doesn't die, I have no place to bury!" ”

Xiahou Yuan was angry in his heart when he heard this, and said sharply: "I'd rather die here and swear to destroy the horse thief!" "Then he will lead the troops into battle. Cao Cao persuaded him with good words before he stopped Xiahou Yuan.

At dawn the next day, Ma Chao only led hundreds of horsemen to fight in front of Cao Cao's camp, and hundreds of horsemen and horses flew back and forth, just to provoke the generals of Cao Ying. Xiahou Yuan couldn't hold back, didn't report to Cao Cao, led more than 1,000 people from the headquarters, opened the gate of the village, and rushed to kill him.

Cao Cao was anxious and angry when he learned that Xiahou Yuan had gone into battle without authorization, and he was afraid that he would lose, so he personally got on his horse and led the troops out of the camp to respond. When Ma Chao saw Cao Bing leaving the camp, he ordered the front army of the Iron Cavalry to be the rear team, and the rear team to be the vanguard, and spread it out. When Xiahou Yuan's soldiers arrived, Ma Chao intercepted Xiahou Yuan to fight, and his iron cavalry fought with Cao Bing.

Although Xiahou Yuan was brave, he was not Ma Chao's opponent, and he was only beaten with the ability to parry, not the power to fight back. Moreover, Ma Chao originally came to lure the enemy, and after a moment of fighting, Pang De and Ma Dai led a large group of Xiliang Iron Cavalry to kill him. Fortunately, Cao Cao came out in time to rescue, otherwise Xiahou Yuan's headquarters would have been surrounded and annihilated here by Ma Chao.

The two armies clashed again, and the killing was inseparable. Ma Chao saw Cao Cao at a glance in the midst of the chaos, so he left Xiahou Yuan and took Cao Cao directly. Xiahou Yuan desperately tried to catch up with Ma Chao to save Cao Cao, but was stopped by Ma Dai.

Cao Cao saw Ma Chao killing him from the ten thousand armies, as if he had entered a no-man's land, he couldn't help but be shocked, turned his horse away, and Cao Bing was in chaos at that time.

Ma Chao was blocked by the chaotic Cao soldiers and lost his trace of Cao Cao, and suddenly there was a report from Malay, saying that a Cao army had set camp in Hexi. Ma Chao was shocked when he heard the report, and he had no intention of chasing after the defeated soldiers, so he collected his troops and returned to the camp to discuss countermeasures. When Ma Chao returned to the camp, he knew that the two generals Le Jin and Han Hao led the troops to smuggle across Hexi, and formed a front and rear attack with Cao Cao's main camp.

When the generals gathered, Ma Chao asked everyone: "Cao Bing has crossed the west of the river by taking advantage of the void, and our army is attacked before and after, how is it good?" ”

General Li Kandao: "This battle has occupied Chang'an, Tongguan can be described as a complete victory, now the weather is getting colder, the soldiers have many complaints, it is better for the two families to temporarily stop the army, survive the winter, and then make plans in the spring of the next year." ”

Han Sui was defeated by Cao Cao several times, and his subordinates folded three generals, and he didn't dare to despise Cao Cao anymore, so he said: "Li Kan's words are the best, and you can follow them." ”

Ma Chao was eager for revenge and hesitated for a while, but Yang Qiu, Hou Xuan and other generals all persuaded him to make peace. Zuihou Ma Chao still decided to make peace with Cao Cao for the time being, after all, if you want to win a war, you don't rely on anger in your heart, but you have to weigh and plan in every way.

Han Sui saw that Ma Chao agreed, so he sent Yang Qiu as an envoy to Cao Cao's camp to write a letter to Cao Cao's camp to ask for peace, after all, Ma Chao's Ma Dai and Pang De all hated Cao Cao and could not be envoys.

Cao Cao saw Yang Qiu and asked, but did not agree immediately, but said in a slight mutter: "You go back to the camp, I will send someone to report back in the future." ”

After Yang Qiu resigned, Xun Yu asked Cao Cao, "What is the meaning of the lord?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and asked Xun Yu: "I don't know what Wen Ruo means?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Listen to Yang Qiu's intentions, Han Sui has no heart to fight, Ma Chao is still hesitating, and the two are not in unison." The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the lord can pretend to make peace, and then use counter-plots to make Han and Ma suspicious, and then they can be broken with one drum. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said: "There are many high-level views in the world. Wen Ruo's plan is exactly what I have in mind. Laughing, he sent someone back to the book: "If you return the land of Chang'an and Tongguan, I will retire." ”

After Ma Chao got the book, his brows tightened and said: "Cao Cao wants me to withdraw and return to his land, how can I agree?" ”

Han Sui saw the book and said: "If Cao Cao uses treacherous tricks to make peace, he will readily agree." Now asking for its land must be a sincere peace. There is a way to ask for a sky-high price, and sit on the ground to pay back. In my opinion, after Cao Bing crossed the river, Tongguan was no longer defensible, so it was better to return to Cao Cao and we would retreat to Chang'an. In this way, I can wait for Chang'an, Cao Cao has face, and I have the best of both worlds. ”

Ma Chao thought that what Han Sui said was good, so he ordered Yang Qiu to write again. Cao Cao was originally a fraud, and the bargaining was just for the sake of realism. This time, when he got the letter, he set up a pontoon bridge and made the intention of retreating, but he deliberately slowed down the speed.

Cao Jun pretended to retreat, but Ma Chao didn't know it, and only discussed with Han Sui about the withdrawal when Cao Cao really retreated. Ma Chao said: "Although Cao Cao promised peace, he was unpredictable. If the army retreats, and it pursues and kills, we will be restrained. In my opinion, it is better for my uncle and me to take turns to transfer troops and retreat slowly. Today, my uncle went to Cao Ying to guard against it, and our army retreated slightly. Tomorrow our army will be on guard, and my uncle will retreat a little. Divide up to prevent fraud. Han Sui heard the words and acted according to the plan.

There was a detailed report to Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Han took turns to retreat, and Cao Cao smiled at Xun Yu and said: "I'm done!" Then he asked the detail: "Who will guard against me tomorrow?" ”

He replied, "Han Sui." ”

Cao Cao heard the great news, and the next day he led the generals out of the camp, surrounded by left and right, Cao Cao stood in the center, but did not bring soldiers and horses. The sergeant of Han Suiying's battalion knew that the two armies had already made peace, and Cao Cao had not led the troops, so he was not too afraid. Those who have never seen Cao Cao gathered at the edge of the camp, wanting to see what this Han prime minister who had been fighting with Ma Chao for many days looked like.

As the largest prince in the world, Cao Cao is also a celebrity, and he has long been accustomed to being watched. Seeing the sergeant of Han Suiying's battalion watching, he laughed loudly: "If you and other sergeants want to see the true appearance, just go forward and see it clearly." I'm also human, I'm not four-eyed, I'm just resourceful, you don't have to be afraid. ”

Han Sui's soldiers saw that Cao Cao was talking and laughing freely, but he didn't dare to move, and no one really dared to step forward to take a closer look. Seeing this, Cao Cao rode out of his horse and said, "Please ask General Han to come and speak." ”

Han Sui knew that Cao Cao was outside the camp, but he couldn't figure out Cao Cao's intentions and didn't leave the camp. At this time, Cao Cao invited him, and Han Sui couldn't help but come out. He saw that Cao Cao was dressed in light clothes and had no armor, standing alone in front of the camp, and Han Sui himself came out lightly, and he couldn't let his own soldiers feel cowardly.

After the second horse approached, Cao Cao said: "I am filial piety with the father of the general, and I will do it as an uncle." The general also climbed the same road with me, and I didn't know that there was a year. How old is the general this year? ”

Han Sui replied: "Nearly forty years old! ”

Cao Cao said: "In the past, when Luoyang was prosperous, we were all young, but now the prosperity is not there, and people are in the middle of the year!" When will the world be peaceful, and we will strike and have fun together? "It's embarrassing.

Han Sui heard Cao Cao mention the old things, and he also felt a little emotion in his heart, so he talked about the past with Cao Cao in detail, and did not mention the military situation. Cao Cao talked elegantly and wittily, leading Han Sui to speak. Unconsciously talked for an hour, Cao Cao returned to the horse and said goodbye, only saying that he was very happy to be able to talk with the old man. Han Sui thought carefully that he did not leak the military information in the conversation, so he only thought that Cao Cao was looking for him to catch up with the past, and he also gave up his hands and returned to the village.

Cao Cao and Han Sui interviewed Ma and the whole army saw it, and someone reported the matter to Ma Chao. Ma Chao had doubted Han Sui before, and this time he retreated to seek peace and Han Sui and his generals, and at this time he learned that Han Sui had been discussing with Cao Cao for an hour, Ma Chao came to ask Han Sui: "What did Cao Cao say before the battle today?" ”

Han Sui was a little unhappy when he saw Ma Chao coming to question him, but he still said bluntly: "It's just about the old things in Luoyang." ”

Ma Chao asked, "Didn't you talk about military affairs?" ”

Han Sui was even more displeased, and said slightly angrily: "Cao Cao doesn't say anything, why should I say it alone?" ”

Ma Chao saw that Han Sui was angry, and he had no evidence, so he had to retreat without saying anything, but he was even more suspicious in his heart.

But Cao Cao returned to the camp and asked Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo can know what the purpose of my words before the battle is?" ”

Xun Yu smiled: "Although this plan is wonderful, it is not enough to separate the two. I have a strategy to make Han Sui and Ma Chao kill each other. ”

Cao Cao asked him about his plan, and Xun Yu said: "Ma Chao is a brave man and doesn't know secrets. The lord can write a book and send it to Han Sui. The hazy words in the book were vague, and they were smeared and changed in the key places, and then sealed Han Sui, but deliberately made Ma Chao know about it. Ma Chao must ask for the book, if he sees that all the important points above have been changed, he must suspect that Han Sui has altered it himself in order to conceal the secret. Ma Chao was originally suspicious of riding alone and being able to speak, but now that he has a letter to rely on, he will only be more suspicious, and doubt will cause chaos. The lord secretly befriended Han Sui's subordinate generals again, so that they were separated from each other, and Ma Chao was very profitable! ”

Cao Cao smiled: "This plan is wonderful! So he wrote a book, changed all the critical places and sealed them, deliberately sent more people to Han Sui's camp, so that Ma Chao would know, and ordered the people to return immediately, and not wait for Han Sui to read the book and ask questions, so as not to leak the smear.
