Cao Cao pondered carefully: "There is no other way than to do it yourself." ”

nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll recruit Ma Chao personally." ”

"The prime minister is wise. Many of his subordinates knelt on the ground and praised in unison.

"Xu Huang, Cao Hong. Cao Cao instructed: "Chang'an has been lost, now Zhong Xuan Taishou retreated to Tongguan, as long as Tongguan is not lost, we still have hope of turning the tables, I ordered the two of you to lead 20,000 troops to Tongguan in the starry night to help Zhong Xuan Taishou guard Tongguan." ”

"Commanded. ”

Xu Huang couldn't help but say to Cao Cao when he saw Cao Hong walking away: "Prime Minister, Cao Hong's temperament is too reckless, I'm afraid that he will make a mistake." ”

"It doesn't matter. Cao Cao suddenly said: "You only need to guard for ten days, if you lose Tongguan within ten days, I will ask you two, I will not blame you for losing Tongguan outside of ten days, I will lead the army to arrive later." ”

"Good. Xu Huang saluted Cao Cao, and then went down to prepare for the soldiers and horses to march to Tongguan.

When night fell, there was silence in the city of Xudu. On the city wall, a black-robed guest looked at the prime minister's mansion in the city, which was as heavily guarded as the imperial city, and his eyes revealed a sense of slaughter.

"Subordinates, see the Eastern Emperor. The two people behind him saluted the black-robed guest, and the black-robed guest suddenly looked back, and his eyes under the bronze mask suddenly shone brightly.

"White Fox, Golden Armor God. What about the others?" asked the Eastern Emperor.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a few figures not far away, and between a few ups and downs, they came to the front of the Eastern Emperor.

"Okay, the white fox, the golden armor god, the bubble, the black robe, the ghost gentleman, the ghost mother, they are all here, why don't you see the protector?" Through the mask, everyone could still feel the anger in the heart of the Eastern Emperor.

"The Dharma Protector was seriously injured in Jingzhou the day before yesterday and was unwilling to accept our treatment. The black robe said.

Donghuang asked angrily, "Did she go to see that kid again?"

The black robe, the bubbles did not dare to make a sound, the East Emperor was angry in his heart, and with a wave of the robe sleeve in his hand, the sound of "bang" hit the city wall to the splash of earth and stones, and the six people were busy kneeling in front of the East Emperor, and the six people knew that the thunderous anger of the East Emperor was not something that ordinary people could bear.

"If it weren't for the fact that he still has the blood of the Zhou royal family, I would have killed her a long time ago. "The Eastern Emperor is quiet.

"Lord Donghuang, it's important that we're still busy with business, we've been busy for so long, so don't give up all our efforts. Mr. Ghost said.

Donghuang looked at the six people: "Cao Cao is about to conquer Ma Chao in Xiliang, did I order you to arrange all the manpower in Cao Cao's army?"

"Donghuang rest assured, our disciples have all been arranged into Cao Cao's military camp, and this time we will definitely be able to kill Cao Cao in the chaos. Mr. Ghost said.

Donghuang nodded, walked in front of the ghost mother, and said coldly: "I know that you have a blood feud with Cao Cao, but this time you have to act according to the plan, and you must not act rashly to ruin my plan, otherwise your family will die in vain." ”

The ghost mother looked at the Eastern Emperor, only to see a slight purple meaning in her eyes, and the ghost mother couldn't help but shiver and bowed her head silently.

"Aren't you going with us?" asked the white fox.

"It's the first time that the six masters of my Yin and Yang family have gone out together, and you ask me if I want to go?" The Eastern Emperor was obviously very dissatisfied with the white fox's words.

"The subordinates don't dare. The white fox consciously lost his words.

"Then get out of here and cherish this hard-won opportunity. The Eastern Emperor said and disappeared into the endless night.

Outside Tongguan, Zhong Xuan had just repelled a wave of Xiliang troops who were forcibly attacking the city, and the silver spear in Ma Chao's hand was pointed, and there was another team of men and horses. Pushing the ladder of the siege city, it pressed towards Tongguan.

"Nephew, it's the first time. Han Sui couldn't help but ask.

"It's been all night. Ma Chao couldn't help but say.

"All night, and oh haven't rested, shouldn't we have a good rest? Han Sui couldn't help but persuade.

"No, I can't. Ma Chao didn't think about it and refused sternly: "Zhong Miao has lost Chang'an, his morale is low, and at this moment, he is taking advantage of Zhong Xuan's unstable foothold to take Tongguang in one go, otherwise when Cao Cao's reinforcements come, when will we take revenge?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the tip of the gun in his hand, and another team of people pressed up behind him. Han Sui persuaded hard, but Ma Chao just didn't listen, and he was in a stalemate until the night, but he could never cross Tongguan for half a step.

Thousands of corpses were left behind under Tongguan, and Ma Chao returned to the camp with the generals in frustration.

Outside Tongguan, layers of corpses are piled up, blood flows like a river, Zhong Xuan on the city tower has no time to care about the grief of losing his two younger brothers in a few days, and sighs, the air is full of blood, the scene under the city wall, Zhong Xuan doesn't want to look at it a second time after taking a look, Zhong Miao never understands, Ma Chao avenged his father, why he can bear to sacrifice thousands of Xiliang soldiers under this city, he can't do it.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, the scout came forward to report: 'Taishou, Taishou, the Prime Minister's reinforcements have arrived. ’

"Who is in charge?" Zhong Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's General Xu Huang and General Cao Hong. Scout reports.

Zhong Miao has always had no good impression of Cao Hong, but he knows Xu Huang that Xu Huang is a rare wise general. He said to the scout, "Go down and rest after you've worked hard." ”

Zhong Miao hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome reinforcements into the city.

In the Xiliang military camp, Ma Chao frowned, and suddenly the scout came to report: "General, Cao Cao sent Cao Hong and Xu Huang to lead troops to aid Tongguan, and now they have arrived in the city." ”

"Reinforcements arrived, so quickly. Pound couldn't help but say, "Why don't we bypass Tongguan?"

Han Sui said: "No, Tongguan is a fortress, if our army bypasses the Tongguan waterway, then the food supply in the rear will not be smooth." ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Uncle is right, we must take this Tongguan." ”

After thinking for a while, Han Sui said: "I heard about Cao Hong's personality when I was in Xiliang, eager for quick success, arrogant and arrogant, we have to use some means on him." ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "I already have a way." ”

"What's the solution?" Pound asked.

Ma Chao motioned for the three of them to get closer, and Ma Chao whispered in detail about the plan in front of the three of them.

When Han Sui heard this, he couldn't help but rejoice: "In this way, this Tongguan is in our bag." ”

Ma Dai also stroked his palms and laughed: "Without further ado, I'll go down and do it." ”

Outside Tongguan City, the Xiliang soldiers were in strict formation, Cao Hong, Xu Huang and others only said that Ma Chao was going to attack the city again, and ordered the soldiers to quickly move all the things defending the city such as wooden artillery stones to the city.

"Let's go. The big knife in Ma Dai's hand fell.

The Xiliang soldiers and horses beside him opened their throats and scolded Cao Hong, and in just a while, they greeted Cao Hong's ancestors for the eighteenth generation.

was so angry that Cao Hong was furious.
