The soldier sighed helplessly, and could only retreat silently, then prepared his soldiers and horses, and went out of the city to deal with the Xiliang iron cavalry outside the city.

Soon Cao Hong counted [-] soldiers and horses, looked at the slack Xiliang iron cavalry under the checkpoint, so he roared and rushed out of the checkpoint gate with his soldiers.

Immediately, under the leadership of Cao Hong, countless soldiers of Cao Jun charged towards Xiliang cavalry.

Seeing this situation, the Xiliang iron cavalry suddenly became a little panicked. They quickly got up from the grass, mounted their horses, and responded to the enemy in a panic.

"The whole army retreats, the whole army retreats!" Ma Chao, who was riding on the horse, looked at his Xiliang Iron Cavalry under him, his expression became a little heavy when he looked so embarrassed, and then he shouted in a hoarse voice.

Following Ma Chao's order, the Xiliang iron cavalry behind him fled frantically, looking a little embarrassed.

"The iron cavalry of Xiliang is simply a joke in the world. Now I'm going to kill and let the world know how powerful I am Cao Zilian. The whole army will chase after me!" Cao Hong looked at the iron cavalry of Xiliang who was fleeing in such a panic at this time, and the corners of his mouth suddenly appeared. With a smug smile, he waved the big knife in his hand and shouted at Cao Bing behind him.

Cao Hong gave an order, and saw the soldiers of the Cao army behind him following Cao Hong, chasing the enemy army who was frantically fleeing in the distance.

In the city, Xiang Cheng came to the room where Zhong Yao was resting in a panic. Just now he got the news that Cao Hong personally took his soldiers out of the city to chase Ma Chao's defeated Xiliang Iron Cavalry. He felt that something was wrong. Okay, so I hurried to the room, looked at Zhong Yao who was resting, and shouted softly: "Zhong Yao, Mr. Zhong Yao, something is wrong!"

Zhong Yao got up in a daze just after resting for a while, looking at Xiang Cheng standing next to his bed, Zhong Yao looked at him with some doubts and asked: "You look so nervous, you suddenly came to me, but what's the matter?" ?”

"Just now, General Cao Hong watched the enemy relax his guard and waited for his troops to go out of the city to pursue the enemy." Xiang Cheng looked a little heavy at this time, looked at the sleepy Zhong Yao, and said in a hoarse voice.

When Zhong Yao heard the news, he immediately woke up from his drowsy sleepiness, and suddenly felt a chill in his back, and said in a hoarse voice, "What, this Cao Hong is simply stupid."

Zhong Yao changed his clothes in a hurry, and walked towards the city gate with sinking.

But Cao Hong looked excitedly at the Xiliang iron cavalry fleeing in the distance. He thought that if he could defeat these guys, he would definitely become famous by then, and Cao Cao would certainly look at him with admiration.

"Don't run, don't run, horse, I'm going to let you know how powerful I am Cao Zilian today." Cao Hong was riding on the horse under his crotch, holding a big knife in his hand, looking a little excitedly at the man in the distance. Ma Chao, who was fleeing from the Xiliang cavalry, shouted at Ma Chao in a somewhat excited tone.

Just as the army passed a small hill, there was a sudden sound, and Pang De suddenly brought a Xiliang iron cavalry to kill him.

"Kill! Kill! Capture this bandit general alive!" At this time, Pang De was chasing after him with a big knife in his hand, leading the Xiliang iron cavalry behind him, and Cao Hong who was chasing Ma Chao, and shouted proudly .

"No, I'm afraid this is an ambush, retreat quickly!" Seeing such a situation, Cao Hong didn't know that he was in an ambush, and his complexion became a little heavy, and he spoke hoarsely to the back of him. Cao Jun who followed shouted.

At this time, Ma Chao looked at Pound who had suddenly killed him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he immediately turned the gun and killed the Xiliang Iron Rider Li behind him.

"Soldiers capture Cao Hong alive!" Ma Chao took the lead at this time, leading the Xiliang iron cavalry behind him, and charged towards Cao Hong's army in the distance.

With the combination of the two armies, Cao Hong and his soldiers became completely panicked at this time, and were finally killed by the cruel Xiliang iron cavalry.

At this time, Cao Hong's complexion became a little pale. Looking at the menacing Xiliang iron cavalry, he finally sighed helplessly, and finally rode his horse, holding the big knife in his hand, and fled in the direction of Tongguan quickly. .

"Cao Hong has escaped, chase me!" At this moment, Ma Chao saw Cao Hong abandoning his army and fleeing towards Tongguan, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then raised the spear in his hand, facing The Xiliang cavalry behind him gave the order.

At this moment, Ma Chao and Pang De each commanded their own Xiliang iron cavalry, watching Cao Hong who was running away frantically on a horse in the distance, and led the Xiliang iron cavalry behind him to chase madly.

At this time, Zhong Yao and Xiang Cheng were standing on the top of the city with a heavy expression on their faces. They suddenly looked at Cao Hong who was being chased by the Xiliang iron cavalry in the distance, and their expressions suddenly became a little heavy.

Now, the Xiliang iron cavalry is very close to Cao Hong. If the city gate is opened, although Cao Hong can escape back then, the Xiliang iron cavalry can take the opportunity to break into the checkpoint, and the entire Tongguan will fall.

"Mr. Zhong Yao, if we don't open the city gate and bring General Cao Hong back, I'm afraid the prime minister will blame him." Xiang Cheng looked at Zhong Yao who was hesitant and sighed helplessly. In one breath, he said hoarsely to Zhong Yao.

After all, Cao Hong is a member of the Cao clan and Cao Cao's clan brother, and he also saved Cao Cao's life, status and identity.It is also one of the best in the entire Cao family. If we don't save him, I'm afraid Cao Cao will blame himself at that time.

Zhong Yao thought of such a question at this time, gently stroked his beard, thinking about what to do.Looking at Cao Hong who was getting closer and closer to the city, if he didn't save him, Cao Hong might really die here.

"Open the city gate! It's General Cao Hong!" Zhong Yao looked at the iron cavalry of Xiliang who were getting closer and closer to the city. After countless struggles in his heart, he finally sighed helplessly and said to Xiang Cheng in a hoarse tone.

Finally, Xiang Cheng reluctantly brought his soldiers to the gate of the city, and slowly opened the gate.

Xiang Cheng rescued Cao Hong with his soldiers, fought Xiliang Tiezi with the soldiers behind him for a while, and then fled far away from the pass with Zhong Yao and Cao Hong.

Since there were no soldiers to stop the checkpoint, Ma Chao led his Xiliang cavalry to easily break through Tongguan and occupy the entire Tongguan.

Now the Xiliang iron cavalry can be said to be invincible, and now it has completely controlled the area around Chang'an City.

Standing on the checkpoint, Ma Chao immediately looked a little smug, maybe he could really reach Xuchang and avenge his father.

And Cao Hong and others rode their war horses and fled towards the distance with the remaining soldiers behind them. They fled for almost half an hour.Suddenly seeing an army in front of him, his face suddenly became a little heavy, and he saw that the army was mighty, and in the army, there was a big flag with the word Cao fluttering in the wind.

Cao Hong didn't even need to guess, he knew that Cao Cao might have brought his army here by now.

I saw the army slowly approaching Cao Cao. At this time, he was wearing a battle armor, a big red robe, and a sword hanging from his waist. His face was a little cold, and he was leading the army behind him. Xu Chu, Xu Huang and other generals protected Cao Cao.

Chapter 784 The Truth Comes Out

"Prime Minister, there seems to be someone in front of you!" Xu Chu, who was approaching slowly and beside Cao Cao, seemed to have spotted Cao Hong and the others. He looked at those figures with a vigilant tone, and said to Cao Cao cautiously. .

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!" At this time, Cao Hong came to Cao Cao with a sad face, and said in a painful tone.

"Isn't this Zilian? Why didn't you stay in Tongguan and come here?" Cao Cao looked at the sudden appearance of the horse and recognized Cao Hong at a glance, so he asked Cao Hong in a suspicious tone.

Now Zhong Yao, who was among the couple, also came out of the army, looked at Cao Cao leading the army behind him, and said to Cao Cao in a helpless tone: "Prime Minister, I am ashamed of your kindness to the Prime Minister. Today's Chang'an City and Tongguan They were all lost and completely occupied by Ma Chao."

"Yuan Chang, what did you just say?" Cao Cao looked at Zhong Yao and Cao Hong in surprise when he heard the news, and asked Zhong Yao in a hoarse tone.

Seeing Cao Cao's puzzled expression, Zhong Yao could only sigh helplessly, and told Cao Cao everything.

After Cao Cao heard Zhong Yao's words, his whole face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he looked at Cao Hong and Zhong Yao below with a little cold eyes, and finally paused a little, and said in a hoarse tone: "I am lost in Chang'an City. Don’t blame Yuan Chang, but the loss of Tongguan is really undeserved, Zi Lian, Yuan Chang clearly reminded you not to be distracted, but you were so careful and careless that you fell into the enemy’s tricks, are you guilty?”

"Prime Minister, I will be convicted at the end." Cao Hong saw Cao Cao's cold face at this time, and quickly knelt down on the ground, and said to Cao Cao with a nervous tone.

"Since you already know your crimes, come here, and drag this person out to be beheaded!" Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong who was trembling in front of him, and finally looked at the generals under him, gritted his teeth, and said in a heavy tone. He gave orders to the soldiers beside him.

"Prime Minister calm down, Prime Minister calm down. Although General Zilian is guilty, he will not die. Besides, it is the time when the two armies are at war. I am afraid it will be bad for the army's morale." At this time, Xu Huang drove Cao Cao to kill Cao Hong immediately dismounted from his horse, and said to Cao Cao with a heavy tone.

"I hope the Prime Minister calm down, let's spare General Zilian first!" Seeing Cao Cao's angry face, the surrounding generals also stood up one after another, and said to Cao Cao in a somewhat respectful tone.

Seeing the generals around Cao Hong begging for mercy, Cao Cao finally gritted his teeth, and said to Cao Hong in a hoarse tone, "Now, the generals are begging you, and I will spare you for the time being today, if there is a next time. The truth I will definitely not forgive you!"

When Cao Hong heard Cao Cao's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly thanked Cao Cao, and then retreated.

Seeing that Cao Hong had retreated, Cao Cao immediately looked at the surrounding Wenwu with a calm expression, and asked the surrounding Wenwu in a hoarse voice: "Now that Ma Chao has occupied Tongguan, what should our army do?"

"Tongguan is the throat of the West. If this pass is lost, the imperial court may have lost the control of the West. It should take Tongguan back before Ma Chao has a firm foothold!" Xun You, who was on the side, touched Cao Cao's words gently. He shaved his beard, and then said to Cao Cao in a calm tone.

"Gongda's words are true! Tongguan is a place of entry. You must not be angry and give it up to Ma Chao in one fell swoop. Now that our army has traveled a long way, I am afraid that it is exhausted. After finishing the night, we will go to seize Tongguan tomorrow!" Cao Cao listened. After hearing what Xun You said, he nodded to Xun You with a serious face, and then said to the surrounding soldiers.

The surrounding soldiers heard what Cao Cao said, and immediately arranged for their soldiers to set up camp with a calm expression.Guarded near Tongguan.

Slowly, the sky had turned completely dark, and Tongguan and the like had been lit. At this time, a figure appeared under the city.

Seeing this situation, the Xiliang soldiers above the city rushed to call La Pound.

Pang De came to the top of the city, and when he heard such a familiar figure below the city, he immediately opened the city gate and brought in the people from the bottom of the city.

At this time, Ma Chao looked at the map in front of him with a cold face, thinking about how to attack Xuchang, but at this time, there was a sound from outside.
