Chapter Eighty-Five: Ma Chao is brave
Tongquetai's laughter and laughter immediately diluted the troubles of Cao Cao's heir, after all, Cao Cao is only fifty this year, which is the golden age of a politician. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
With such a wise and martial imperial prime minister, coupled with the young age of the sons, the question of the heir is not at a critical juncture.
Although Cao Cao was suspicious and pressed Ye Ke in Youzhou, he didn't even bring him with him to Jingzhou and Jiangdong in the south, but Ye Ke had no complaints, and he didn't even have the idea of complaining, how could Cao Cao not love such a loyal and filial son?
So in the midst of laughter, Cao Cao was very happy and said to Xin Bi: "George, Ziwen often studies with Ling Ai Xianying, and he loves him, so I will propose to you on his behalf, are you willing to be a father?" ”
No matter what Xin Bi thinks, a smile is a must, he bows and says with a smile: "The prime minister loves him, and my family is fortunate, but Ziwen once had a marriage contract with the daughter of Sun Yu's brother, and he was worried about ......."
Cao Cao smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, Ziwen will not make Ling Ai wronged." ”
Xin Bi agreed with a smile, and laughed together on and off the stage.
So the civil and military generals sat according to their ranks. The music is competing, and the water and land are displayed. Civilian, military and military generals take turns to hold the lamp, and the rewards are staggered.
From time to time, there are a group of civil officials such as Wang Lang, Zhong Xuan, and Wang Cang, who present poems. There are many poems that praise Cao Cao's majestic merits and worthy of his orders. Cao Cao read it and laughed, and said, "If there is no one in the country, I don't know how many people are called emperors and how many people are kings." "This kind of heart-wrenching words come.
At this time, a military report suddenly came: "Sun Quan made Hua Xin play Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou, Sun Quan married Liu Bei with his sister, and most of the nine counties in Hanshang were prepared." Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this.
Cheng Yu said: "Sun Quan was jealous of Liu Bei and wanted to attack him with troops; However, he was afraid that the prime minister would take advantage of the situation, so he ordered Hua Xin to be the envoy and recommend Liu Bei, which was the heart of peace and security, and the hope of the prime minister. There is a plan to make Sun and Liu annex each other, and the prime minister will take advantage of the plan, and the two enemies will be destroyed with one drum. ”
Cao Cao schemed, and sure enough, the forces of Zhou Yu and Liu Bei, the governor of Jiangdong, fought and killed each other, each with damage.
After the banquet, Ye Ke stayed in Ye County for more than ten days, and stayed with Xin Xianying for a few days, then returned north to Youzhou to continue military training.
Cao Cao heard that Zhou Yu was defeated by Zhuge Liang, a military advisor hired by Liu Bei, and that his old wounds had recurred and he died, so he summoned everyone to discuss the southern expedition.
Xun Yu said: "Zhou Yu is newly dead, you can take Sun Quan first, and then attack Liu Bei." Cao Cao: "If I go on an expedition, I am afraid that Ma Teng will attack Xudu." When I was in Chibi before, there were rumors in the army, and it was also rumored that Xiliang had entered the Kou, and now we must guard against it. Xun Yu said: "In my fool's opinion, if you don't send the edict to Jiamateng as the general of the southern expedition, so that Sun Quan can be tempted into the Beijing division, and this person will be removed first, then the southern expedition will be fine." ”
Guo Jia bowed his head and was silent, Cao Cao saw it, waited for everyone to disperse, and asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao doesn't say a word, is there a good plan?" ”
Guo Jia said: "I think about the rebellion of Ma Teng Sanfu in the past. Besides, Ma Teng and Han Sui have been in Xiliang for a long time, called Han General, and they are actually the princes of the land, if Ma Teng Xuchang is killed by me, I am afraid that Xiliang will all belong to Han Sui and Ma Chao. ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Feng Xiao's words are very reasonable, but if you don't kill Ma Teng, how can you easily go south?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Punish Ma Teng first, lead Ma Chao to attack, and I will wait for work." Homeopathic pacification of the West Cool! ”
Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed: "Sure enough, there is no filial piety." ”
Soon Ma Teng led his sons Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai behind, leading 5,000 Xiliang soldiers to Xuchang, thinking that he was secret, but he didn't want Cao Cao to have a plan to kill Ma Teng's father and son, but he deliberately let Ma Dai go.
When Ma Chao heard the news, he united with Han Sui, each with his own generals, raised 200,000 troops, broke through Chang'an, and went down to Tongguan.
Cao Cao led the army to conquest, and before the battle, he saw that Ma Chaosheng had a face like Fu powder, his lips were like rubbing Zhu, his waist was thin and his shoulders were wide, his voice was strong, his white robe and silver armor, and he held a spear in his hand, and immediately went to the front; The first Pound, the lower Maddy.
The two armies fought, and Ma Chao took the lead and shot straight over. Fight eight or nine together, defeat Yu Ban, and defeat Zhang He in twenty times. A few more rounds and a shot stabbed Li Tong to death. The Xiliang soldiers rushed over together. Cao Bing was defeated. The Xiliang soldiers came fiercely, and the left and right generals couldn't resist it. Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai led more than 100 horsemen and went straight into the Chinese army to capture Cao Cao.
Cao Cao saw that the horse was super brave and the Xiliang army was strong and invincible, so he thought hard about a good way to break the enemy.
Xu Huangjin said: "Now that the prime minister is here, and all the thieves are closed, then they will be unprepared in the Hexi area; If an army secretly crosses Puhanjin, intercept the thief and return first, and the prime minister sends a north attack on him, the thief and the thief are not corresponding, and it is bound to be dangerous. ”
Cao Cao agreed, and in order to make Xu Huang's sneak successful, Cao Cao wanted to cross the Wei River with great fanfare. When the Xiliang army got the news, Han Sui said: "There is a cloud in the art of war: 'the soldiers can be attacked when they cross halfway,' and when Cao's army crosses halfway and Meng Qi attacks them on the south bank, then Cao Cao's army will all die in the river."
Ma Chao was overjoyed and said, "Uncle's words are very kind. ”
Cao Cao's army was completed, and the first elite troops crossed the north bank and opened a camp. Cao Cao led himself to accompany the escort army to 100 people, sat on the south bank with his sword, and watched the army cross the river.
Suddenly, someone reported: "The white-robed general in the back has arrived!" When everyone looked back, they all recognized it as Ma Chao. Immediately frightened, they rushed to the boat. For a time, the army was in chaos!
Cao Cao still sat still, pressed his sword and drank: "Don't mess around!" ”。 Xu Chu was frightened when he watched from the boat, and hurriedly jumped off the shore and shouted, "The thief is coming soon!" Please disembark! ”
Cao Cao said: "What's the point of being a thief? While turning around, there was a sudden shudder, and Ma Chao was less than a hundred steps away from him!
Xu Chu didn't say a word, pulled Cao Cao and ran away, but the boat was already more than a foot away from the shore at this time, Xu Chu picked up Cao Cao, broke off his drink, and jumped onto the boat.
Ma Chao rushed to the riverbank, and saw that the boat was already flowing in the middle of the river, so he drew his bow and arrows, and ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows along the river. For a while, the sky was full of arrows. Xu Chu was afraid of hurting Cao Cao, so he raised the saddle with his left hand to cover him. Ma Chao's arrow is not in vain, and the person who drives the boat on the boat should fall into the water; Dozens of people in the boat were shot down. Its ship is erratic and spins in the rapids. Xu Chu worked hard alone, shook the rudder between his legs, supported the boat with one hand, and raised the saddle with the other hand to protect Cao Cao.
Cao Cao died nine times and finally fled to the north bank, and all the generals protected Cao Cao to the wild village, and they all bowed to the ground and greeted him. Cao Cao laughed and said, "I'm almost trapped by thieves today!" ”
Guo Jia said: "The prime minister is broad-minded, I can't wait!" However, the enemy's combat strength is strong, and it is really invincible, and it is necessary to set up a divisive plan between Han Sui and Ma Chao in order to break this thief! ”
Having said that, Cao Cao was still frightened and said, "Ma Chao has the courage of Lu Bu!" Even if it is outwitted, it will lose its troops and generals, and if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that Sun Quan and Liu Bei will take advantage of the attack to attack! ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "In this case, why doesn't the prime minister summon a general who can be opposed?" ”
Cao Cao laughed and said: "I have already sent a letter, and as soon as Ziwen arrives, I can capture Ma Chao alive!" ”
