Three Kingdoms lazy man

Cao Cao returned to the barracks, and when he heard that Xiahou Dun's men had rescued Cao Hong, his face was filled with emotion, and then he came to Cao Hong's big tent in person, looking at Cao Hong who had lost strength and was unconscious, Cao Cao said with some emotion: " If it wasn't for Zi Lian who stopped Ma Chao, I'm afraid I would have died in Ma Chao's hands today."

Xun You, who was on the side, heard what Cao Cao said, and without gently stroking his beard, he said with some emotion: "Now I heard that Han Sui from Xiliang also came to support Ma Chao with troops and horses. Now Ma Chao's cavalry , they all like to charge forward, so they should use bows and arrows to break them!"

Hearing what Xun You said, Cao Cao suddenly looked a little heavy, and said in a hoarse voice, "Whether Ma Chao wants to fight is up to me, not Ma Chao. Although Ma Chao has cavalry in his hands, can he attack now?" ? We only need to return to Hongnong, we only need to stick to the city, and Ma Chao will definitely retreat without fighting."

"What the prime minister said is true!" Xun You, who was next to him, nodded with a heavy expression after hearing what Cao Cao said, and then replied calmly to Cao Cao.

"Tell me to lead the whole army to retreat to Hongnong City!" At this time, Cao Cao looked at the generals following him, and gave his order in a hoarse tone.

Zhong Qiang watched Cao Cao's retreat, so he started whispering in private. Today's fiasco can be said to be a serious defeat for Cao Cao's camp.

Ma Chao returned to Tongguan with his Xiliang cavalry, looked at Han Sui above Tongguan, and said with some emotion: "Uncle came to support today, and my nephew is very grateful."

"Your father and I are as close as brothers. Your father was buried at the hands of Cao thief today for no reason. I will definitely wish my nephew a helping hand and avenge Brother Shoucheng." Han Sui looked a little heavy at this time, facing Ma Chao who was on the side Said, and then patted Ma Chao on the shoulder with a heavy expression.

Ma Chao looked at Han Sui, and saw that Han Sui did not bring Yan Xing with him this time, but only Cheng Gongying, his counselor, but at this time there were eight generals behind him, who they were.

"I don't know the eight people behind my uncle, but those eight people." At this time, Ma Chao looked at the eight generals behind him curiously, and asked Han Sui in a doubtful tone.

"These eight people are the eight military generals of Xiliang!" Han Sui said calmly to Ma Chao in front of him.

The military department, to be honest, is those small warlords in Xiliang. They have their own land and army, but they rely on big princes like Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"These eight people are Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Yang Qiu." Han Sui looked at Ma Chao's curious look, and introduced these eight people to Ma Chao once. Eight people's names.

When Ma Chao heard what Han Sui said in front of him, he immediately said to the eight people with a grateful expression on his face: "Now my father was killed by Cao Cao, and now you are willing to follow me to take revenge. If you can take revenge at that time, I will definitely be grateful." .”

"I have received the favor from General Ma a long time ago. Now that I have heard that General Ma has encountered such a disaster, I am willing to follow General Meng Qi and attack Cao Cao to avenge General Ma." The eight generals looked at Ma Chao with a somewhat tone of voice. He said to Ma Chao respectfully.

"General, now Cao Cao has led his army out of the camp and retreated towards Hongnong City." At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came from a distance, and said to Ma Chao with a serious expression.

When Han Sui heard the news, he immediately burst out laughing, and then said to Ma Chao in a heavy tone, "It seems that Cao Cao is afraid of his nephew, and Cao Cao was quite frightened today."

"Cao Cao actually retreated away. Tomorrow I will definitely lead my troops to attack Hongnong and kill Cao Cao!" At this time, Ma Chao clenched his fists tightly, with a hint of killing intent on his face, and said in a heavy tone.

It is said that Cao Cao was patrolling the army in the city calmly at night, and suddenly heard the news that Cao Cao was afraid of Ma Chao in the army. Hearing this news, Cao Cao suddenly showed a slight wry smile on his face.

"Zhongkang?" Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu who was guarding beside him, and said to Xu Chu with a heavy tone.

"Prime Minister, what's the matter?" At this time, Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao with a bad face, and asked Cao Cao in a low voice.

"Go and order the generals to come to my mansion to discuss military matters." Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then said to Xu Chu with a heavy expression.

After a while, I saw that the prime minister's mansion was full of people, and Cao Cao was sitting on the main seat, looking at his generals with a serious face, and then said with a heavy tone: "I heard that some people in the army laughed. I'm afraid of Ma Chao, can there be such a thing?"

When the generals heard Cao Cao's words, you looked at me and I looked at you, silently lowered their heads, and remained silent.

"Now Ma Chao is indeed coming in a menacing way, and even I am a little afraid of him. You are all my confidantes, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?" Cao Cao looked at the silent crowd below and gently stroked his beard, but Realizing that his beard had long since disappeared, he put down his hand and spoke calmly to everyone.

"Prime Minister, I have a strategy to defeat Ma Chao!" At this moment, one of the generals came out of the generals and looked at Cao Cao with a serious expression, and said to Cao Cao in a sincere tone.

This person is none other than Cao Cao's favorite general Xu Huang, Xu Gongming.

"I don't know what good strategy Gongming has? You might as well tell the truth." At this time, Cao Cao looked at Xu Huang who stood up, with a smile on his face, and asked Xu Huang in a calm tone.

"Now that Ma Chao and his troops are stationed in Tongguan, our army can secretly send two soldiers to leave Luoyang quietly, one goes to Hexi, and then detours to the enemy's rear, and then flanks each other. In addition, what? The soldiers have set up an ambush near Chang'an where they returned, and if they act like this, the enemy will be defeated without a fight." At this time, Xu Huang stroked his beard and looked at Cao Cao who was sitting on the main seat, with a heavy tone He told Cao Cao his plan.

When Cao Cao heard this, his face showed a hint of joy, and then he said to Xu Huang with a little excitement: "Xu Huang's plan is very popular with me."

"However, I'm afraid this operation will have to transfer many soldiers, and the prime minister needs to be a bait in the city to lure Ma Chao's army to stay here, so I'm afraid there is still some risk." At this time, Xu Huang gently touched himself beard, looked at Cao Cao in front of him, and then said to Cao Cao in a hoarse tone.

Cao Cao nodded after hearing such words, and then said in a hoarse tone: "I, Cao Mengde, almost lost my life at the hands of Ma Chao. Are you afraid that I will not be able to defend the city? It is not easy to defend the city now. , just do it with confidence.”

After hearing what Cao Cao said, all the generals around looked at Cao Cao with admiration, and then said to Cao Cao in a hoarse tone: "The prime minister is mighty!"

Cao Cao looked at the generals, shook his head slightly, and then gave his order.

"Xu Huang, now I order you to command five thousand elite soldiers and pass through Luoyang overnight. Smuggle to Hexi, and attack the rear of Ma Chao's army at that time." At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were fixed on the generals under his command, and he was able to block one side alone. Xu Huang was alone, so he said to Xu Huang in a heavy tone,

Xu Huang heard what Cao Cao said, and immediately said to Cao Cao with a serious expression: "The last general obeys orders! The last general will definitely not disappoint the prime minister's trust."

"Yu Jin!" Cao Cao looked at Yu Jin at the side again at this time, and said to Yu Jin in a somewhat heavy tone.

When Yu Jin heard Cao Cao shouting, he quickly stood up from his seat, and then said to Cao Cao respectfully, "Prime Minister, the last general is here!"

"Now I order you to command five thousand soldiers, and when the time comes to ambush Ma Chao on the way to retreat and give Ma Chao a painful blow." At this time, Cao Cao looked at Yu Jin who had come out of the battle with a serious expression, and then said in a hoarse voice. Said.

Yu Jin and Xu Huang heard Cao Cao's order, so they led [-] soldiers each to leave the city secretly and headed for Luoyang, preparing to sneak to the rear of Ma Chao at that time.

On the second day, Ma Chao arrived at Hongnong City with his soldiers and horses. Looking at the fortified city, Ma Chao shouted at Cao Cao with a gloomy expression, "Cao Mengde, do you dare to fight me out of the city?"

Standing on top of the city, Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao who was coming on horseback from below, a sneer appeared on his face, and then he said hoarsely, "Your Ma Mengqi's bravery is rare in the world. I won’t beat you, Ma Chao!”

"Cao Mengde, you coward! There are generals in the city who will go out to fight with me." At this time, Ma Chao heard what Cao Cao said, and suddenly his face became a little angry. Then he raised the spear in his hand and shouted in a hoarse voice. .

"Is there any generals who would like to meet Ma Chao for a while?" At this time, Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao, who was showing off his might, under the city, looked at Ma Chao, who was yelling, looked at the city under the city gently, and then Said to the generals beside him.

The generals standing next to Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao's bravado, and their expressions suddenly became a little heavy. They had seen Ma Chao's bravery yesterday, and they didn't dare to fight Ma Chao.

"I am willing to fight Ma Chao." At this moment, a low growl sounded from Cao Cao's side, and Xu Chu opened his eyes wide and said to Cao Cao with a heavy face while holding a knife in his hand.

Seeing Xu Chu's serious face, Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and said to Xu Chu in a hoarse voice, "This horse is super brave and good at fighting, you must not underestimate the enemy!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I am willing to fight to the death with him." Seeing Cao Cao with a serious face, Xu Chu replied, and walked directly towards the city with tiger steps.

At this moment, the gate of the city was slowly opened, and Xu Chu was standing with a steel knife in his hand and wearing a suit of battle armor. He reined in his horse and shouted at Ma Chao in the distance: "Ma Mengqi, how dare you join me?" war?"

At this time, Ma Chao held his spear in his hand, looked at the heavy-backed Mongolian frame who was found from the city gate, and asked in a hoarse tone: "Who are you? Hurry up and report your name."

Seeing Xu Chu approaching, Ma Chao's expression darkened immediately, and he didn't dare to be careless. He waved the spear in his hand and charged towards Xu Chu.

"Dang!" The two weapons collided violently, and they both looked at each other in a little surprise. At this moment, Xu Chu watched the big knife in his hand being bounced away, gritted his teeth, and then waved the big knife in his hand, fiercely. He slashed at Ma Chao fiercely.
