So Ma Chao entered the camp again to kill Han Sui, but found that he had been rescued, and all the soldiers and horses in the camp began to act. Ma Chao quickly got on the horse, Pang De and Ma Dai came, fighting each other, Ma Chao brought his soldiers and horses
Kill out and found that Cao Cao's troops were coming, with Xu Chu in front, Xu Huang behind, Xiahou Yuan on the left, Cao Hong on the right, and look at the soldiers and horses in Xiliang, killing each other, Ma Chao did not see Pang De and horses.
Dai, with more than a hundred cavalry left the direction of Weiqiao, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and when he saw Li Kan passing by with a soldier, Ma Chao went up to attack directly. Seeing this, Li Kan could only run away with his head in his arms.
Just as Yu Jin's soldiers rushed over from behind Ma Chao, Yu Jin used a bow and arrow to shoot. Ma Chao heard a sound behind him and instinctively lowered his head. As a result, the bow and arrow shot Li Kan. He only saw him falling from his horse and bleeding from his mouth.
And die.
Ma Chao turned back to kill Yu Jin. Yu Jin hurriedly retreated after seeing it. Ma Chao returned to the bridge to station. Cao Cao's army came. The guards were the vanguards, and they shot Ma Chao with a random arrow. Ma Chao used his gun to push the bow and arrow away.
Seeing that the bows and arrows shot towards Ma Chao fell to the ground, Ma Chao asked the cavalry to assault, but unfortunately Cao Cao's defense was very tight and there was no way. In despair, Ma Chao shouted and rushed into Hebei. The other cavalry that followed were cut off. Ma Chao
He was clashing around in the formation alone, but was shot into the mount by some bows and arrows. He also fell to the ground, and Cao Cao was about to kill him.
At this critical moment, a pair of people suddenly came out. It was Ma Dai and Pang De who gave the war horse to Ma Chao, turned over and broke out into a bloody road, and fled northwest.
When Cao Cao saw Ma Chao leave, he sent an order and said, "Whether it is day or night, be sure to catch this horse. If he can get his head, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and be named Marquis of Wanhu, and the person who can be captured alive,
As a general.”
The reward was very generous, and everyone was preparing to make contributions and swept away the usual drag. When Ma Chao saw that the pursuers came quickly, he ignored the rest and could only continue running. Some of the infantry that followed could not catch up, and they were all captured by Cao's army. In the end, only
More than 30 people remained, and continued to flee towards Longxi, Pang De and Ma Dai.
Cao Cao personally led his troops to Anding. When he learned that Ma Chao had left a long way, he found soldiers to discuss and said, "Now Ma Chao and Han Sui killed each other, and the Xiliang army defeated themselves without attacking, but the rain thieves were also in trouble.
It should be taken seriously, where is he?"
A strategist reported: "The rain thieves stationed troops in Ziwu Valley. That place is very dangerous and surrounded by mountains."
Cao Cao said: "Although the rain thief is weak, he is always a big concern. Leaving the situation will make the surrounding area uneasy. I'd better lead the troops to wipe out him personally."
Jia Xu was standing aside at this time, thinking quickly in his mind.
No one objected to the proposed method, Cao Cao was ready to attack Ziwu Valley. At this time, Jia Xu said: "Now that Xiliang has been newly defeated, Ma Chao has entered the northwest, and our army is already exhausted. Liu Bei and Sun Quan are also looking at the Central Plains. If the Prime Minister is too much
Distracted, I am afraid that bad people will take advantage of the situation. Ziwu Valley is the barrier to enter Xichuan, and Hanzhong is the southwest, which is Zhang Lu's territory. The Prime Minister can write to Zhang Lu to demand an attack on the rain thieves, and there will be a battle in Hanzhong.
, the Prime Minister can reap the benefits of the fisherman.”
Originally, the counter-espionage plan of Xiliang was made by Jia Xu, and this time the words were very in line with Cao Cao's appetite. He immediately ordered to return to Chang'an and settle the general. Han Sui had already been cut off his left hand and became a disabled person. Cao Cao let Han go
So he rested in Chang'an, and as per the previous agreement, he awarded the title of Xiliang Marquis. Yang Qiu, candidates and others all gave rewards and ordered to guard Weikou. After settling down, he brought civil servants and military generals back to Xu.
All.
Yang Fu, the military officer of Liangzhou, was named Yishan. After going to Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked him and replied: "Ma Chao is as brave as Lu Bu, and he is deeply loved by the Qiang people. If the Prime Minister is not eliminated, wait until the future
He formed a climate, and the counties in Longshang will definitely leave the control of the country again. I hope the Prime Minister can temporarily stop going back and eliminate Ma Chao before leaving!"
Cao Cao sighed: "I didn't want to do this. I was going to fight for the army, but unfortunately there are many things in the Central Plains. There are still many people in the south who are eyeing you and can't stay for a long time. I will definitely retain some power for you."
Yang Fu bowed and recommended Wei Kang as the governor of Liangzhou. He led his troops to station in Jicheng to prevent Ma Chao's attack. When he saw Cao Cao off, he said, "Chang'an must leave heavy troops as support."
Cao Cao said: "I have already planned it, so don't worry."
On the way, everyone asked: "At the beginning, the bandits occupied Tongguan, and the Weibei was empty. The Prime Minister did not attack Fengyi from Hedong District, but instead guarded Tongguan. It lasted for a long time. Later, he crossed the river to the north and established a camp to defend it. Why
?”
Reply: "At the beginning, the thief guarded Tongguan. If we had just arrived at the scene, we would go to take Hedong. The thief would definitely divide his troops to guard other ferries. Then it would be difficult to cross Hexi. I deliberately left many troops in Tongguan.
Gathered in front of me and let all the thieves guard the south, so Hexi would not be prepared, so Xu Huang and Zhu Ling could cross the river easily. Then I took my troops to cross the river north, connecting the carts and trees as corridors, passing through the cold wind
, Formation of frozen soil as an ice city makes the thieves think we are very weak and let them put their vigilance down. There is no preparation. I will use the counter-espionage plan. Our army is slowly accumulating strength. Once the opportunity is ripe, attack immediately.
The so-called lightning momentum is too fast to cover up. On the battlefield, the situation changes very quickly, and it is not necessary to stick to one method."
Everyone asked again: "Every time the Prime Minister heard that the Xiliang soldiers had increased a lot of people, he would be very happy. Why is this?"
Cao Cao said: "Guanzhong is located in a remote area. If the bandits rely on natural dangers, even if I fight everywhere, I will not be able to calm down in a year or two. Now they are gathered in one place. No matter how many people are, the people's hearts are incomplete.
, It can also be used for discord, and it can be eliminated in one go, so I will be very happy."
Everyone suddenly realized and bowed: "The Prime Minister's strategy is like an immortal, we can't compare to it!"
Cao Cao seemed very modest and smiled and said, "This victory is not my own merit, it is all thanks to you!" After saying that, he rewarded everyone and left Xiahou Yuan to guard Chang'an. As for the troops who surrendered to Xiliang, he directly
Distribute to other places.
Xiahou Yuan recommended a man, from Gaoling, Fengyi, with his surname, his name, Ji, and his courtesy name, Derong. As the Yin of Jingzhao, he guarded Chang'an with himself.
In order to further reduce the pressure on food, Yu Yi asked Huang Shumin to train soldiers to hunt in the wild, and at the same time, he sought the consent of the surrounding villages to cultivate and recuperate on several wastelands. In addition to talking about politics with Diao Chan every day, he was in the camp
By consulting ancient books, we can learn about the surrounding wars.
