Guan Ping was really rectified by Han Sui.

Han Sui has been rampant in the world for decades, and even Cao Cao is not afraid, even if he loses and hides in Liangzhou, Cao Cao will really not be able to catch him for a while.

But although his expression was quite gentle now, his tone began to loosen, and he actually expressed his willingness to give his little daughter to Guan Ping as a concubine......

Looking at the shocked look on Cheng Gongying's face beside him, it was obvious that Han Sui had never discussed this matter with him before.

"Ahem, Ben Jiang has already married the daughter of Cao Gong, this ......"

"Well, that's what I said." Han Sui smiled and said, "One for two, it's not easy for the general to explain to his subordinates." Plus the little girl, this should always be possible, this matter is good for you and me, please think about it carefully, don't push it back. ”

Speaking of which, Han Sui's son also had one who was a hostage on Cao Cao's side.

He and Ma Chao were able to abandon their relatives so decisively, and they were so ruthless to their own people, it was easy to understand that they had killed the people of Sanfu during the previous raids.

In all fairness, of course he wanted to refuse directly, and even wondered if it could be Han Sui's daughter who was preparing to assassinate him with a stunt.

But Kuai Yue lightly touched Guan Ping behind him, and said in a low voice:

"General, this is a must-have."

"Han Sui won the trust of the Qiang people, and even if he lost this battle, he would not perish easily.

If the general wants to occupy Yongliang, he must have a good relationship with the Qiang people, otherwise they will rebel at any time, how can we restore the Han dynasty and return to the Central Plains? ”

Han Sui put his son as a hostage to Cao Cao, and when he failed, Cao Cao would definitely kill him to vent his anger.

He used his youngest daughter to exchange horses for fun today, and there were three main considerations.

First, if Ma Play Cheng Yi only changes one, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army, and if he uses his daughter to exchange the two back, Ma Play Cheng Yi will definitely die down, and he will definitely try his best to serve Han Sui in the future.

Second, if the subordinates' guess is good, now that Cao Gong has raised a large army to arrive in Tongguan, Han Sui is anxious to make peace with the general, and wants to go to Tongguan to fight with Cao Gong, I think he has guessed the identity of some generals, and it just so happens that the general has accumulated a lot of prestige through this battle, there is no need to completely tear his face with Han Sui, it is better to respond for the time being.

Third, it may be Han Sui's trick, this defeat, he and Ma Chao must have had a disagreement, and if the war continues to go wrong, Han Sui and Ma Chao are likely to turn their faces again, with the general's son-in-law, Ma Chao will be a little jealous. As for what Prime Minister Cao Cheng thinks...... Hehe, if the general succeeds in this battle, it is really high and the sea is wide, and the cool land can be completely left to the general. ”

Even if Cao Jun can defeat Ma Chao and control Guanzhong at most, the west of Yongzhou and Liangzhou will still be in a state of stocking for a while and a half, if Guan Ping can find a suitable opportunity to cut in, and use some people to quickly sweep the two places, he can gain far more power than in Jingzhou, recuperate for a while, and when Cao Jun attacks again, he will be completely unstoppable.

This is also the reason why he has been wooing Yan Xing before.

Now Yan Xing has only reached a preliminary cooperation with Guan Ping, saying that if the time is ripe after this battle, he is willing to go to Liangzhou to recruit an army and help Guan Ping to pacify Liangzhou together.

If he marries Han Sui's daughter, Guan Ping will have a lot of articles to do in Liangzhou after that.

He gritted his teeth and said with a helpless wry smile:

"Well, that's going to be good."

。

Hearing that Chang'an is still holding on, Cao Cao also thinks that he can't let go of the opportunity for this center to blossom.

In the middle of winter, Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang to come to the Yellow River and prepare to cross the river into Guanzhong.

What Cao Cao never expected was that the coalition forces had already stationed a barracks on the other side of the bank one step in advance, and what Cao Cao didn't expect was that these Guanzhong coalition troops actually sprinkled water on the wooden fence of the barracks, forming a thick barrier.

At a glance, the river was full of white positions, and if Cao Jun wanted to cross the river, he had to pay huge losses.

But if you don't cross the river, Cao's army will come from Xudu, and the military rations carried in the middle of winter will not be much, and if you continue to consume it, I am afraid that there will be greater losses in the army due to lack of food.

Cao Cao glanced at Yang Xiu with some dissatisfaction.

Previously, Yang Xiu swore that Ma Chao had already had infighting with Han Sui, but now the Guanzhong coalition army was well prepared, and it didn't look like there had been infighting, which made Cao Cao at a loss for a while.

It's not that they don't dare to attack, but they don't dare to rashly cross the river when the enemy situation is unknown.

At least judging from the current situation, the battle situation is obviously not as optimistic as Yang Xiu imagined.

"Ignore that for now, let's cross the river."

That night, Xiahou Yuan ordered Xu Huang and Zhu Ling to lead a crowd of 5,000 people to slowly cross the river, preparing to explore the enemy's reality first.

After Xu Huang left Jingzhou, he was assigned to Xiahou Yuan's subordinates, although Xiahou Yuan was kind, and did not wear small shoes to Xu Huang because of Xu Huang's previous discord with Xiahou Yuan, but Xu Huang already had a big gap in his heart, especially when he heard that his old colleague Le Jin was getting better and better in Jingzhou, and he also began to slowly accumulate his own troops in the same way, and he had a lot of private soldiers in his hands.

This time he crossed the river to attack Ma Chao, Xu Huang used his own private soldiers, originally according to Yang Xiu's estimate, Ma Chao had no precautions, and Xu Huang could win a big victory as long as he sent troops.

But now the situation is obviously not the case, and Xu Huang, who was driven to the shelves, could only scold Yang Xiu for being incompetent in his heart, while personally leading his private soldiers to advance quietly, not even daring to breathe.

The Yellow River in the middle of winter at night is quiet and terrifying, and a large amount of ice in the river constantly hits the Xu Huang ferry, and the sound of the dong dong is terrifying.

The ice city that shone brightly in the daytime was now swallowed up by darkness, and although Xu Huang knew that there would be no water battle in this battle, he still lay on the boat in fear and did not dare to move.

I don't know how long it took, the ferry under Xu Huang's command finally docked, they didn't dare to light the torches, they could only get off the boat slowly in silence, and even too heavy breathing would attract the angry eyes of the comrades around them, and the atmosphere could be described as very depressing.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Everyone held their ordnance and gradually approached the huge ice city that was piled up with solid ice, and they were slightly relieved to see that in the dark night, there were only a few lone lamps lit in the ice city, and the soldiers on night patrol did not raise the alarm.

By the bleak moonlight, Xu Huang had already seen the gate of the ice city, he breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned to the soldiers beside him, and was about to give the order for a general attack, but suddenly heard a burst of dog barking and wolf howling.

With a few dog barks and wolf howls, countless lights suddenly lit up in the ice city that was still quiet just now, and before the Cao soldiers could react, the dark air immediately resounded with a sound of breaking the sky, and countless arrows were thrown like rain, accurately strafing the soldiers of Xu Huangjun, so that the soldiers who had been suppressing and not daring to make any sound finally let out bursts of screams and screams.

"Don't panic, hold on!"

Xu Huang was very experienced, he knew that this was only the first wave of the enemy's attack, and it was absolutely impossible to shoot all the thousands of people under him with a bow and arrow, but it was a great chaos in the night, which could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

He grabbed a shield to protect his face, and aggressively hit the person who heard the sound of the scalp numb, but Xu Huang was not afraid, more than 300 personal soldiers around him moved forward bravely, each raised the wooden shield in his hand to block the rain of arrows, and quickly killed at the gate of the camp, several brave soldiers used the wooden shield to protect the body and knocked away the antlers, and bravely entered the village.

But before they could stand firm, countless spears suddenly stabbed in all directions, and the soldiers under Xu Huang's command couldn't stop these countless spears even if they were brave, and even Xu Huang, who was wearing iron armor, was stabbed hard, frowning painfully.

Is this unprepared? It's obviously well prepared, and it's waiting for us right here!

Xu Huang shouted violently, like an injured giant beast, he slashed a spearman in the face with a backhand, and it was extremely accurate to slash a spearman's face in the night sky.

The man actually wore a basin-collared iron armor, but Xu Huang slashed him in the face with a knife, and he still screamed in pain and fell heavily to the ground.

Xu Huang's knife momentum did not stop, and in a moment, he killed several people in a row, and he forcibly opened a hole under the siege of countless enemy troops.

Seeing that Xu Huang was so brave, Zhu Ling, who landed on the shore later, also let out an angry roar, ordering his soldiers to beat drums together, and Sergeant Cao, who had landed first on the shore, launched an attack on the coalition army camp like a tide.

But the coalition army had already prepared, they had already set up guard towers around them, and they continued to shoot with dense arrows, although the soldiers of the Cao army landed on the shore were brave, but they still could not ignore the rain of arrows in the sky, and there was a slight confusion in the military formation.

Finding the enemy army in disarray, a neat sound of golden drums was immediately heard from the watchtower of the coalition army, followed by the deafening sound of horses' hooves!

Knock knock!

The sound of dense horse hooves was like a huge fist beating the frozen and stiff ground, and countless Liangzhou cavalry swarmed out, roaring out from the camp and both sides, waving the spears in their hands and storming the Cao army that landed on the shore, and immediately split Xu Huang and Zhu Ling's soldiers in two.

A large number of soldiers could not successfully land on the ship, and these brave Liangzhou cavalry, wearing thick iron armor, slammed into the place where the sergeants and soldiers of Xu Huang's army were most concentrated, and immediately killed everyone on their backs, screaming one after another, and the long night was full of painful wails and trembling.

Finally!

Finally, there is no need to siege the city!

Ma Chao, who was wearing iron armor, breathed a sigh of relief, staring at Cao Jun in front of him, his eyes full of fierce light.

Under Chang'an City, he suffered too many grievances, and this time he was finally able to show his cavalry talent in battle.

In order to thank Ma Chao for his rescue, Han Sui took the initiative to give half of his command of the army to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao was also happy to be idle and quickly led the army to the Yellow River.

The people of Guanzhong, who did not know the truth, of course thought that this was because the two had turned their faces, but in fact, the slightly scattered Guanzhong coalition forces were able to avoid suspicion and guard against each other, and exert greater combat effectiveness.

Don't have to watch out for Han Suihou, Ma Chao resolutely blocked the river, and the Cao army was hard to fight, his powerful cavalry attacked back and forth, the Cao army was difficult to breathe, and the Cao army that landed on the shore was killed and retreated, and the screams made Cao Cao on the other side of the river couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Didn't you say that Ma Chao was defenseless?" He had a gloomy face and stared at Yang Xiu viciously.

Yang Xiu was puzzled, not understanding why things had become like this, so he could only slowly lower his head.

"Great, it's about me who made a mistake in the investigation, I ...... I'll take a closer look! ”
