639 as a hostage

"It's easy." Wang Baoyu said, pointing to the map, and said what he thought.

"Cao Ren can be allowed to raise troops from Hangu and attack Tongguan, so that it will be difficult for Han Sui to send troops to support Ma Chao in order to defend the city. At the same time, a small number of soldiers and horses were divided along the way, walking around the mountain, from the southwest mountain of Tongguan, burning fireworks, so that Ma Chao would definitely divide his troops to defend. ”

Cao Cao touched the short beard on the minibus and nodded with a smile, but still said: "Although this plan is wonderful, I am afraid that Ma Chao will not divide too many soldiers and horses." ”

Wang Baoyu pointed to the Yellow River crossing and said, "Let's go around to Puhanjin from here, and when we come here, then send an army and pretend to go back from here?" ”

"It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Ma Chao won't divide too many troops." Cao Cao said.

"I think that the number of troops Ma Chao divides depends on how many troops we use. If we send an army of 100,000, even if it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ma Chao will not be careless. Wang Baoyu put forward his own opinion.

"Our army only has 100,000 here, if we all go to that estuary, Guanzhong will be lost!" Cao Cao shook his head like a rattle and disagreed.

"Lao Cao, die-eyed! The soldiers are not tired of deceit, we will not really send many soldiers and horses over, just pretend to force the river to cross the estuary. Wang Baoyu frowned.

"How can no one pretend?"

"It's really smart and confused for a while, as long as you call the people nearby and pretend to be soldiers, who can tell the truth from the fake?"

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, then stroked his palms and laughed, and praised: "Baoyu's plan is very good, it can be called the regeneration of Guan Zhong." ”

Mentioning the name Guan Zhong, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but think of Zhuge Liang who compared himself to Guan Zhong Leyi, after so long, I really don't know how he lives now, is he still working so hard day and night? Is my sister Huang Yueying still alone in the empty room?

Alas, a person who is in a foreign land and just wants to go home has so much concern here. Look at Cao Cao, who has gray hair on his sideburns, sometimes he is like a loving father and a good brother to himself, and if he has been with him for a long time, he is afraid that it will not be easy to let go.

Cao Cao didn't notice the change in Wang Baoyu's expression, and immediately called the strategists to discuss Wang Baoyu's plan, but said that he came up with it himself, and everyone said that it was a brilliant plan, and the vote was all good. Finally, the plan was supplemented by the fact that the soldiers in the large camp could be scattered in the guise of civilians so that they would not be suspicious.

Everyone was discussing hotly, Wang Baoyu stood on the side, there was nothing to say, and no one consulted him. In fact, Cao Cao's approach is easy to understand, if it is Wang Baoyu's idea, there may be people who oppose it for various reasons.

Cao Cao immediately arranged for Cao Hong, recruited a large number of civilians to pretend to be soldiers, and sent them to Zhang He, who was stationed at the mouth of the river, and the soldiers in the large camp were also distributed according to the plan. At the same time, he sent a secret envoy to inform Cao Ren, asking him to follow the plan, and the army set up troops in Tongguan, and sent a small number of soldiers who were good at climbing mountains and mountains to set fire to the southwest of Tongguan to lure the enemy.

Ma Chao always paid attention to the movement on the other side, however, as the letter kept coming, he was a little confused.

At the mouth of the Yellow River, looking at the other side, the army was densely packed, with a total of 100,000 troops; The fire broke out in Nanshan, and it seemed that Cao soldiers wanted to sneak attack from behind, but there was no movement on the north bank, but the number of soldiers was significantly less.

"General, now that Cao Cao has moved his troops to the mouth of the Yellow River, it is better to rush to the north bank and recapture Guanzhong!" Pound said.

Ma Chao thought about it again and again, but still waved his hand and said: "Then Cao Cao is scheming, maybe it is a plan to lure the enemy, it is better to divide and prevent it." Now that General Han can't divide his troops, you personally lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to the mouth of the Yellow River, and you can't let Cao's soldiers return. ”

Pang De listened to the order and immediately led his troops to leave, Ma Chao called Ma Dai again, and asked him to lead 20,000 troops to the south of Tongguan to find out the truth, and he led the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses to continue to garrison the south bank of the Wei River.

Cao Cao heard that the men and horses on the opposite side were beginning to decrease, and a smug smile appeared on his face, knowing that a battle that was bound to be won was about to begin.

has fought several battles, where is the belligerent and active Ma Yunlu? In Tongguan City, of course.

And why didn't he go to war with the army? This starts with Han Sui, Han Sui said to Ma Chao euphemistically, you see that you have lost your father and brother, there is only such a baby sister left, I treat Yunlu as my own daughter, and I feel as sorry for her as you do. A girl's family, the risk of fighting with the army is very high, so it is better to stay in Tongguan and help with advice.

Of course, Ma Chao is unhappy in his heart, does his sister need to be protected by others? But Ma Chao also knew Han Sui's intentions, he wanted to take a hostage by his side, to prevent him from being in danger once he voted for Cao Cao and turned around to attack Tongguan from outside the city.

In order to show his sincerity, Ma Chao finally reluctantly agreed, but because of this, he had a knot with Han Sui, since it was a coalition army, he should not be so distrustful, just waiting to defeat Cao Cao and then clean up Han Sui when he turned back.

I have to mention that Ma Chao didn't want his sister to add trouble, so he didn't tell the truth. But Ma Yunlu is such a smart woman, and she quickly understood the deep meaning.

So Ma Yunlu looked for Han Sui's stubble every once in a while, either beating his guards and crying, or forcing his concubine to suffer from depression. For Han Sui to make a good tea, Ma Yunlu has to take the first sip, the first chopsticks of the prepared meal are always this aunt's, as for the others, Ma Yunlu's mixture is indispensable everywhere.

Han Sui couldn't bear it, and felt that several white hairs were angry, but he gritted his teeth and didn't let Ma Yunlu go out of the city, but waited for him with delicious food and drink.

The military situation was urgent, Cao Cao heard that Ma Chao had divided his troops, and immediately gathered his troops and prepared to forcibly cross the river and attack Ma Chao.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a chill in the air, Cao Cao's army quickly boarded the warship, Xu Huang and Cao Hong led the front army, and after Fan Jin broke off, he forcibly crossed the river and launched a fierce attack on the south bank.

Ma Chao looked at the north shore, the shadows of the ship were heavy, and people shouted and neighed, but he never thought that there were so many people!

Ma Chao's face froze, and he carefully turned his head to sort out Cao Jun's recent actions, and soon knew that he had been fooled. However, it is too late to gather the soldiers and horses back, so they can only use the existing soldiers and horses to fight hard to stop Cao's soldiers.

On the Wei River, a big battle broke out again, Ma Chao personally led the army, kept releasing arrows into the river, and ran out of arrows, but he still couldn't stop it, and Cao Bing stubbornly rushed ashore.

After going ashore, Xu Huang and Cao Hong did not fight against Ma Chao, but avoided him and commanded the soldiers to attack the Xiliang soldiers frantically.

Ma Chao has no generals under him, how can 30,000 people block the 100,000 army, in order to preserve as much strength as possible, he can only retreat in a hurry, and let Xu Huang and Cao Hong occupy the south bank lightly.
