"Are you a tiger idiot? I have heard for a long time that there are two people under the command of Cao Cao, Xiong Zhi. You are here. Na Dian is bald. Where is the evil from ancient times?"
Ma Chao recognized Xu Chu at a glance. The wolf gun in his hand kept colliding with Xu Chu's blade dozens of times in the air.
Meng Qi clamored to fight the two men, but in fact he was very afraid of attacking together for Xiong Zhu.
He wanted to capture Xu Chu with a quick attack, but he couldn't. After dozens of fights, there was indeed another big mountain behind Xu Chu, waving a halberd and charging straight up.
San Dian Wei and Wu Ma Chao were already in the middle of the pack. Adding Xu Chu, although Ma Chao was strong, he was already outnumbered and at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Jin Ma Chao was gradually exhausted, and the Xiliang army and horses on the left and right wings gradually retreated, Han Sui pointed forward with one hand, and suddenly there was a loud drum sound behind him, and the Xiliang army and horses all came out.
Behind Han Sui, a big man with mung bean eyes and a black beard, whose number was only one size smaller than Xu Chu and Dian Wei, immediately activated his mount and headed straight towards Xu Chu.
The big man also used a long sword as a weapon to stop the tiger idiot. After a fierce battle, which lasted for dozens of rounds, he actually did not lose.
This man was none other than Pang De, the evil man under Ma Chao. He made it clear that in later generations, the strange man from Xiliang who shot his second brother in the face with an arrow was also a rather narrow-minded man.
Cao Cao was in the formation and saw that the two armies were at a stalemate. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Xiliang army. Any big man could defeat the tiger idiot, and he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
A fierce battle lasted from noon to sunset. Cao Cao's tigers and soldiers did not move, and Ma Chao's men, Jie Ren, rode hard and could not come out.
The two armies suffered heavy losses, and they did not stop fighting until dark.
In the following days, Cao's army and Xiliang's army fought fiercely day by day. Meng Desheng had the best troops, while Xiliang's soldiers and horses occupied the favorable location of Tongguan and had a large number of people. The two sides killed each other at the same time, and it was difficult to see the winner.
Cao Cao was a powerful figure in the world and had the same view of the overall situation as Fang Guang. He knew that if Guanzhong could not be recovered quickly and it was delayed until the autumn and Yuan Shao's integration was completed, Yanzhou would be in big trouble.
The news of Benchu's fainting was blocked by Yecheng. Xu You couldn't find Fang Guang and Cao Mengde for a while, and he didn't know that his old friends and rivals were still bedridden.
Seeing that a hard attack was not possible, on that day, Cao Cao summoned all the civil and military personnel in Hongnong's army tent to discuss the movement of the army.
Ever since he founded the family as a young man, Xun Yu seemed to have lost the motivation to rise. He no longer had the clever tricks he once had. He clocked in to work every day, thinking about other important things.
Although Cheng Yu is active and has more than enough success, he is never enterprising enough. He thinks hard every day, but he can't get around Tongguan.
Among the counselors, Fang Guang was not there, Yang Xiu was not familiar with military strategy, Zhong Yao was not close to the armored soldiers, and finally it was Guo Jia who spoke slowly in the silence of the commander's tent.
"My lord, the elite soldiers and horses of Xiliang have been accumulated by the Han Dynasty for generations. The Qiang people cried out that the soldiers here are the best at fighting for a long time. I think they may not be able to survive Han Sui or Ma Chao!"
"Well, the words of "filial piety" are very true. Our army's advantage is to fight quickly, but if you don't know how to be "filial piety", is there a strategy to win?"
Cao Cao actually had a clever plan in mind. He hid it in his heart and wanted to test the counselors today. After speaking, he glanced at everyone and it was Guo Jia who caught the words.
"My lord, the pass in the pass is narrow and it is convenient for the Xiliang soldiers to guard the grain road. That army is all cavalry and they have to retreat to Tongguan. They cannot fight fiercely here!"
"Today's Hexi is Pubanjin, to the west is the Weishui River, and to the south is Chang'an, I think."
"If our entire army crosses the river and stations troops on the banks of the Wei River, then the Xiliang cavalry must guard the river. Our army can take advantage of Yanzhou to come and get food from the east of the river!"
"The soldiers and horses of Xiliang have to transport food and grass hundreds of miles more. If they advance and retreat, the other army will collapse!"
Halfway through Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he picked up the conversation very smoothly, just like the interaction between General Du and General Liao in later generations. The two talked and held hands together.
"Okay, it's rare that Fengxiao sees someone who is the same as me!"
"Without further delay, Zihe and Wenlie will lead the tiger and leopard cavalry across the Yellow River tonight. Tomorrow I will lead the Chinese army across the river with Zixiao, Zhongkang and Dianwei!"
"Xiliang's armored horses are so brave that we cannot defeat the enemy without this strategy!"
Cao Cao made a decision to defeat the enemy, which was the same as the march route of Cao Cao's army recorded in history.
That night, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun led the cavalry across the river first and went straight to Pubanjin. Cao Cao was so proud that he felt that he had strangled the Xiliang army and horses by the throat. Who knew that that night, half way through the military meeting,
After an hour, several riders had already quietly headed towards Tongguan under the cover of night.
Tongguan, Ma Chao's camp, Ma Mengqi looks like a Greek statue. At this time, he takes off his military uniform and puts on a white robe, revealing the beauty of a handsome Yi Di man.
Meng Qi put his hands behind his back and was thinking carefully about defeating the enemy's military strategy. He also wanted to express his condolences to his father and younger brother. He turned around and saw the illiterate Pang De, holding a pen and laboriously drawing something on the bamboo paper in front of him.
.
"Ling Ming, what are you gesturing for? Let me see, why, is this a bear?"
"My lord, it is Bai Ri and Na Xu Chu who fought for more than forty rounds. He slashed me three times more. Now I will record it here. When I have the opportunity, I will definitely slash him back!"
Although Pang De was brave and loyal, he was very narrow-minded. Later, when the Shu Kingdom was defeated, his descendants killed all the descendants of his second brother. This was due to genetic reasons.
When the two armies fought, each of their masters and their families were affected, and the Pang family was considered the first of its kind in history.
Ma Chaozhou knew the temper of his general, but he didn't expect that during the duel, he was stabbed one more time, and this strong man would resent him. For a moment, he was angry and funny at the same time.
"Ling Ming, this is your book of hatred, but I don't know who else is on it besides Xu Chu!"
Ma Chao's curiosity suddenly aroused, and he couldn't help but take the book in Pang De's hand and take a look.
Just when the Xiliang man was blushing and didn't know how to escape, outside the door, Han Suijun's primary and secondary school relieved Pang De's siege.
"General Ma, my lord has invited General Ma to discuss something, please go quickly!"
"Oh? It's late at night? What's the important matter?"
"General, I don't know, it's just that my lord said that General Ma should go and listen. This is a plan to destroy Cao Cao!"
"A big plan to destroy Cao Cao? Okay, you will lead the way. I will go now. I didn't expect Wen Yue Gong to be so quick-witted!"
Although the Xiliang coalition forces respected Han Sui and the Han and Ma families, in fact, after more than ten years of intrigue and intrigue in Xiliang, Ma Chao also looked down on Han Sui, who was useless and only played tricks.
Confused in his heart, he followed the captain and heard the shocking secrets of military strategy from Han Sui's mouth.
I don’t know who leaked the movements of Cao Cao’s army, but within two hours, Han Sui already knew that Cao Cao was going to Pubanjin.
The relocation of the Chinese army has always been the most secretive thing in the military. After all, the movement of tens of thousands of troops is different from the movement of thousands of soldiers. There will always be a moment when it is extremely dangerous if caught.
After hearing Han Sui's words, Ma Chao was surprised and excited at the same time. He knew whether this was true or not would be known in a few days. Han Sui had made friends with the Guandong aristocratic families, and among them, Guanxi was deeply entangled. There might not be an opportunity to win in a single battle before him.
It was dark, less than twenty miles north of Cao Jun's ferry. The Jie cavalry, which had been holding back until the war started, under the command of Ma Chao and Pang De, also crossed the Yellow River!
