Cao Cao first sent elite troops to cross the river to the north bank and built the camp. Cao Cao himself brought some personal guards and entourages to hundreds of people, prepared the swords, sat on the south bank, and watched the crossing of the river. Suddenly someone came to report and said, "There is nothing behind."
The general of the robe has arrived!" Everyone knew that Ma Chao was coming at the first sight, and the order immediately became very chaotic. The soldiers by the river were eager to cross the river first, and the sound was noisy. Cao Cao sat there and pulled out his sword.
Point at everyone and ask not to make noise.
Suddenly, I heard people shouting and horses swarming in. A general on the boat flew on the shore and shouted: "The bandits have arrived! Please get off the boat quickly!"
When Cao Cao saw that the man was Xu Chu, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if the bandits arrived?" After saying that, he turned around and looked at the situation and found that Ma Chao was less than a hundred steppers away.
Xu Chu quickly pulled Cao Cao down from the boat. At this time, the boat was still more than 1 meter away from the shore. Xu Chu directly carried Cao Cao and jumped onto the boat. The other soldiers following him could only go into the water to swim and grab the edge of the boat.
Fighting for the boat to escape.
After all, there are a lot of people and the ship is not big enough. Soon it was pulled over by the soldiers, and there was a danger of overturning. Xu Chu took out his weapon and slashed around. Some soldiers' hands that grabbed the ship were cut off, shouting that they were falling.
After entering the water, when the hull stabilized slightly and rowed the boat towards the downwater, Xu Chu stood at the bow of the boat and supported it with a wooden pole.
Cao Cao was lying at Xu Chu's feet and observing the situation. At this time, Ma Chao also rushed to the river. Seeing that the boat had been driving for a distance, he brought a bow and arrow and shot wildly. At the same time, he ordered the archers to shoot arrows around the river.
The scissors shot at the boat were like raining.
Xu Chu was afraid that these bows and arrows would hit Cao **, so he raised his saddle with his left hand to cover it. Ma Chao's archery skills were superb, and the people driving the boat were basically shot and killed one by one, falling into the water. Soon, more than a dozen people on the boat were all archers.
He shot and killed him, while Xu Chu protected Cao Cao tightly.
At that time, Ding Fei, the magistrate of Weinan County, saw Ma Chao chasing Cao Cao on the Nanshan Mountain. The situation was very critical. He was afraid of hurting Cao Cao, so he ordered the cattle and horses in the camp to be driven away. Soon the mountains were filled with cattle and horses, and there were chaotic everywhere.
When the soldiers of Xiliang ran away, they turned around and snatched the supplies. They didn't care so much about chasing Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao survived the crisis.
When the ship approached the north shore, Xu Chu helped Cao Cao get off the boat and destroyed the boat directly. When the generals heard that Cao Cao was fleeing in the river, Ma Chao was rushing to chase him and came to rescue him, but found that Xu Chu had protected Cao Cao to the north shore.
Xu Chu was wearing armor, and all bows and arrows were shot on the armor. Everyone protected Cao Cao to the camp and knelt on the ground to ask Cao Cao for his safety.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I was just surrounded by a few thieves today!" He did not seem to take the previous critical situation seriously.
Xu Chu explained: "If someone hadn't released the cattle and horses just now, wandering around the mountains and fields, attracting the attention of the Xiliang army, then they would have crossed the river."
After hearing this, Cao Cao thoughtfully asked, "Who released these cattle and horses?"
Someone who knew about it in the crowd replied: "It's Ding Fei, the magistrate of Weinan County!"
Not long after, Weinan County Magistrate Ding Fei came to see him. Cao Cao thanked him and said, "If it weren't for your plan, I would have been captured by the thief!" After that, he appointed him as the Dianjun Captain.
Ding Fei said: "Although the thief has left now, he will definitely come back tomorrow. We must find a way to solve it!"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I'm ready for this method!" So he ordered the generals to build some corridors along the river, and temporarily serve as the foot of the village. If the bandits come, then they will station their troops outside the corridor and pretend to set up inside.
Some flags, as suspicious soldiers, then dig trenches along the riverside and covered them with soil, but not enough. Hanoi used troops to lure them. When the thieves arrived, they would definitely fall into the soil, and then we could attack.
Ma Chao went back to meet Han Sui and said, "I was going to catch Cao Cao, but a general was extremely brave and carried Cao Cao onto the ship. I don't know what it was!"
Han Sui said: "I heard that Cao Cao chose a very strong man as the guard in front of the camp, called the Tiger Guard. He was led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were brave and good at fighting. Dian Wei has now passed away, so the one who saved Cao Cao.
, It must be that Xu Chu, this manpower is extremely powerful, and people call it a tiger crazy. If you encounter it, don’t underestimate the enemy!”
After hearing this, Ma Chao became very strong in fighting and said, "I also heard that this person has been there for a long time!"
Han Sui said: "Now that Cao Cao crosses the river, he will definitely attack our rear. He can attack them quickly. He cannot let them establish camps. If their camps are built, it will be difficult to deal with them."
Ma Chao said: "In my opinion, it is better to fight him on the north bank so that they can't cross the river. This is the best strategy."
Han Sui said: "My dear nephew guards the camp, and I will take my troops along the river bank to attack Cao Cao. How about it?"
Ma Chao said: "You can send Pang De as the pioneer and follow your uncle."
So Han Suihe Pang De took 50,000 troops and horses to Weinan directly. Cao Cao and everyone were luring each other on both sides of the corridor. Pang De first rushed over with a thousand cavalry. Wherever he shouted, his people fell into the pit. Pang Deming
The ground jumped out of the pit, stood on the flat ground, killed many enemies one after another, and slashed out of the encirclement with his walking footage. Han Sui was besieged in the core area, and Pang De continued to walk,
It happened to meet Cao Ren's general Cao Yong, who was killed by Pang De with a knife. Then Pang De snatched the horse, defeated Cao's army, and rescued a large number of Xiliang troops and fought until the evening before returning.
Go back and count the people and found that Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng and other military generals were killed and more than 200 soldiers fell into the pit. Ma Chao and Han Sui discussed and said, "If we delay for a long time, Cao Cao will be there.
If a camp in Hebei is established, it will be difficult to repel them. Why not we take the light cavalry to attack the Cao army camp overnight?"
Han Sui thought it was feasible and said, "You can attack sneakily, but you must divide the troops into order and rescue them."
So Ma Chao used the front and asked Pang De and Ma Dai to sneak that night.
Cao Cao took back his troops and camped in Weibei, and said to the generals: "The bandits bullied us and have not yet fully built the camp. We will definitely come to attack us tonight. We can ambush the soldiers and horses everywhere, pretend that the camp is empty, and wait for the sound of cannons.
When the sound came out, the soldiers and horses lying on all sides came out, so they could be captured." So the soldiers took the order and raided.
That night, Ma Chao asked Cheng Yi to take more than 30 cavalrymen to investigate the situation. When Cheng Yi saw that there were no people, he went directly into the central army and wanted to make achievements.
When Cao Cao saw that the Xiliang army arrived, he fired a fire of cannons, and soldiers lying on all sides came out together to surround the thirty cavalry.
