Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

At noon the next day, Ma Chaoyou woke up.At this time, apart from being unable to move, he has no problems with speaking and thinking.

Seeing his eldest brother wake up, Ma Dai hurriedly sent someone to inform the military division Cheng Gongying.

Not long after, Cheng Gongying came.

"Hey, military advisor, I'm afraid this time I'm injured, it will delay a lot of things!" After seeing Cheng Gongying, Ma Chao said with a sigh.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Ma Chao's words, instead of worrying, Mr. Cheng laughed loudly.

"Ha ha!"

"My lord, your injury this time is not a disaster but a blessing. I already have a solution."

As soon as he heard that Chenggongying had a plan to break Cao Cao, Ma Chao was suddenly excited and struggled to sit up.

"Military division, what's the plan!" Ma Chao asked hastily.

"Fake death plan!"

"If the lord dies, then the coalition forces will be in disarray. At that time, Cao Mengde may not only want to resist the enemy, but want to wipe out our coalition forces." Cheng Gongying said.

Hearing this, Ma Chao's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Then I ordered the army to erect white sails to make it look like I died last night."

Chenggong Ying stroked his goat's beard, and said with a slight smile: "Master, this is not right. Cao Mengde is suspicious by nature. If we raise white flags and white sails in the army, he will definitely be able to see through our strategy."

"We can't reveal it. We have to let Cao Mengde guess for himself. Only by letting him guess that you died last night can he fall into the trap."

Ma Chao thinks about it for the same reason. Cao Ah has a lot of tricks and tricks, so it is impossible for him to be fooled so easily.

"Military Master, you have a plan!" Ma Chao hurriedly asked.

"My lord, take good care of your wounds. I have a perfect strategy in my heart, and I will definitely be able to catch Cao Mengde."

"However, I have to ask my lord to inform the leaders, and all ministries must cooperate with my plan." Cheng Gongying said confidently.

Ma Chao trusted Cheng Gongying very much, and immediately ordered: "Ma Dai, pass on my order, and all ministries will obey the orders of the military adviser."

"These days, you stay in front of the military division and obey the military division's orders."

Chapter 496 Cao Cao's Weakness in Human Nature

There is no doubt that Cao Cao is very capable.If Cao Cao had no ability, he would not become one of the only princes in the world.

However, while Cao Cao has abilities, he also has flaws. What Cao Cao's flaw is is that he is suspicious.

Ma Chao wanted to deceive Cao Cao by cheating his death, and it would not work to directly replace the army with white flags and white sails.Cao Cao had to be suspicious in his own heart. In this way, Cheng Gongying was using some means to convince Cao Cao that Ma Chao was dead.

The next day.

Tongguan.

Xu Chu was seriously injured, and now he and Yu Jin have become sick friends.Cao Cao personally took Dian Wei to inspect Tongguan.

At this time in the past, the Xiliang coalition forces must have sent generals to the city, shouting curses and inviting battle, but today the city is indeed unusually quiet.

This quietness made the defenders on the city wall feel a little abnormal.

"Come on, it looks like your halberd wounded Ma Chao quite badly. The Xiliang army has died down now." Cao Cao looked at the camp of the Xiliang army under the city, feeling extremely relieved.

"King Wei, my little halberd is a unique skill. Even if the tiger in the mountain gets hit by my halberd, he will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die. His Ma Chao's body weight can't possibly be stronger than the tiger's body!" Dian Wei Said in a low voice.

Hearing Dian Wei's words, Cao Cao's heart moved, thinking, maybe he stabbed Ma Chao to death with a halberd yesterday.

You know, Cao Cao saw Ma Chao fall yesterday with his own eyes.

"Come on, what do you think about Ma Chao's injury?" Cao Cao asked Dian Wei.

Dian Wei thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "King Wei, yesterday I carried Xu Chu on my shoulders, and I didn't notice that the halberd hit Ma Chao. However, although my little halberd was only the size of a palm, it was as thick as ten. It weighs a few catties, even if the halberd doesn't hit a vital point, it's enough to break his bones and make him lie down for several months."

"What if it hits the vital point?" Cao Cao asked hastily.

"If it hits a vital point, it will definitely damage its internal organs. I'm afraid it won't last for two or three days." Dian Wei said with full information.

Dian Wei's small halberd is different from ordinary hidden weapons. It is a heavy hidden weapon. If this halberd is pierced into a person's body, it will be like an iron block of more than ten kilograms being smashed on the body.

"Hey!"

"It's a pity that I don't know if Ma Mengqi is dead or alive!" Cao Cao said with a sigh.

Just as Cheng Gongying expected, if they didn't move at this time, Cao Cao would wonder if Ma Chao was dead.

Cao Cao was very suspicious. In the past, the Xiliang army would come to Tongguan every day, but if he didn't come today, it would be abnormal.

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, and there must be a reason for the abnormal behavior of the Xiliang Army.

Cao Cao wondered at this time whether Ma Chao was dead or seriously injured.The Xiliang army is a coalition army, and Ma Chao, the nominal leader, cannot issue orders, so the Xiliang coalition army must not move.

"King Wei, I was carrying Xu Chu yesterday. Xu Chu's head is facing backwards. Xu Chu should be able to see clearly where my halberd is stabbed."

"Xu Chu should be able to see clearly whether the halberd has hit the vital point." Dian Wei reminded.

Hearing this, Cao Cao's spirit was shocked immediately.

"Let's go, let's go find Zhongkang!" Cao Cao said, "da da", two short legs walked quickly, down the city wall and rushed into the city.

Inside Tongguan.

government office.

Xu Chu was seriously injured last night. Although his internal organs were not injured, his bones were broken in several places, and he might not be able to get out of bed in a short time.

Of course, Yu Jin was also unable to get out of bed.Yu Jinzhong's arrow wound was soaked with golden juice. At this moment, he was inflamed with a fever, and he was awake for a while, and dazed for a while.

At this time, Xu Chu and Yu Jin, the two wounded, became roommates instead.

"Zhongkang, where did the halberd hit Ma Mengqi last night?" Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and asked seriously.

Xu Chu thought for a moment, as if he was recalling what happened last night. After a long time, Xu Chu said, "It should be where the chest is!"

Hearing that it was the chest, Cao Cao's eyes lit up immediately, the chest is the key point.

"Are you clear?" Cao Cao confirmed here.

Xu Chu nodded, and said with certainty: "I can see clearly, it's exactly where the chest is."

In fact, it is not the position of Ma Chao's chest in Dian Weiza, but the place where the chest goes up from the shoulder blades.

However, due to the bumps and ups and downs on Ma Chao's horse yesterday.Xu Chu was held on Dian Wei's shoulders again, also bumping up and down.Therefore, the position that Xu Chu saw was inevitably somewhat wrong.

After getting the answer from Xu Chu, Cao Cao asked Dian Wei: "It's evil, if you get stabbed in the chest, can you live?"

"King Wei, you know my strength. It is a sharp weapon to cut open this small halberd. Even if I throw a piece of iron over ten kilograms and hit it on my chest, my heart will be shattered by the shock. .”

"If it was really stabbed in the chest, then there is absolutely no possibility of Ma Mengqi surviving. No way, he was already dead when he fell from the horse." Dian Wei said very firmly.

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought it made sense.As Dian Wei said, he knows the strength of Dian Wei, an ancient evil, and he can fight fierce tigers.

To say the least, Xu Chu really did more than fail.What Dian Wei shot was Ma Chao's shoulder blade, which he said was his chest.This made Dian Wei make a wrong judgment, and even took Cao Cao into the ditch.

"In that case, Ma Chao is probably dead!" Cao Cao said seriously.

"What, the horse is dead!"

"Dian Wei, yesterday you made a great achievement with a single halberd!" Xu Chu said in surprise.

"However, it's not safe to make such a judgment alone. We have to send someone to test it out." After saying this, Cao Cao directed to the general next to him: "Go, send a few small colonels to the Xiliang army to scold the war. Let's see how the Xiliang army reacts."

Cao Cao was suspicious and cautious.Even if he decided in his heart that there was a high probability that Ma Chao was dead, he still had to test many times before he could make a final judgment.

Xiliang Allied Forces, this is a group of people who came together for the sake of profit.If Ma Chao is dead, then they must be leaderless and at a loss now.

As the saying goes, if there is no profit, it will not be early. If there is no profit to be made, then even if Cao Jun scolds and fights outside the camp, no one will inevitably fight.

At this time, Cao Cao sent people to the Xiliang Allied Army Camp to scold and fight, just to see, but no one came out to fight.If there was no one to fight, then Ma Chao probably died under Dian Wei's halberd last night.

Unbeknownst to Cao Cao, he had fallen into Cheng Gongying's trick at this time.Although Cao Cao knows how to use soldiers, his human shortcomings are too obvious.Suspicion is Cao Cao's fatal wound.

At this time, if Cao Cao brought a military adviser like Guo Fengxiao, he must be able to see the clues.It's a pity that this time Cao Cao was alone, and only brought two reckless men, Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

497 Chapter Cheng Gongying's plan

Ma Chao was injured and bedridden, but at this time Ma Chao had sent orders to all the ministries, and everything was according to the plan of the military adviser Cheng Gongying.

It's true that these people in Xiliang are reckless, but reckless doesn't mean fools.After they learned that Cheng Gongying had a strategy to defeat the enemy, they were naturally willing to cooperate.

Cao Cao had fallen into Cheng Gongying's trick at this time, but he didn't know it.Cao Cao sent people to shout and scold in front of the camp, which was also in Cheng Gongying's calculation.

"report"

"Report to the military division, there are generals Cao shouting and scolding outside the camp, and the foul language is unbearable!" Outside the camp, a small Xiliang military school came to report.

"Military division, I'm going to fetch the head of the enemy general!" After Ma Dai said, he raised his gun and was about to go out.

"General Ma Dai, you must not go to battle. This is Cao Mengde's test for us. If you go to fight, our previous efforts will be wasted."

"Order the three armies, no one is allowed to fight!" Cheng Gongying ordered.

Cheng Gongying's order was conveyed, and the gates of the Xiliang Allied Army camp were closed tightly, allowing Cao Jun to play around outside, pretending not to see it.

Cao Jun received Cao Cao's order and yelled and cursed outside the camp of the Xiliang coalition army for three days in a row.

However, even so, no one from the Xiliang coalition forces came out to meet the enemy.

After calling for battle for three days in a row, no one went out to fight against the enemy, Cao Jun didn't want to be bored, and the two sides stopped their flags and drums for the time being.

Cao Cao was also very entangled in his heart at this time, and he decided in his heart that Ma Chao probably already did.Although he thought so in his heart, Cao Cao was not fully sure.

Cao Cao wanted to take the initiative to attack, and was caught off guard when he came to attack the Xiliang coalition forces, but he felt that it would be safer to stick to Tongguan.

Cao Cao couldn't decide whether to pay attention, but at this time, Cheng Gongying gave another strong medicine, which prompted Cao Cao to send troops to attack.

Xiliang coalition army camp.

In the name of Ma Chao, Cheng Gongying, the military adviser, beat drums and gathered the generals, and gathered the leaders of various ministries.

"Everyone, now that Cao Mengde has caught the trick, but he is still too late to attack. This is still missing a medicine introduction."

"I have to invite all the leaders on the grassland to cooperate." Cheng Gongying cupped his hands and said to the leaders of the various tribes on the grassland who came to help.

Everyone knew that Cheng Gongying had a plan to defeat Cao, so they also respected Cheng Gongying.

"The military division has an order, just do it."

"We must act according to the orders of the military division."

The leaders of various ministries on the grassland expressed their opinions one after another.

"Everyone, after the meeting is over, each of you will lead your own subordinates, withdraw from the camp, and turn back in the direction of your own tribe." Cheng Gongying instructed the leaders of the grassland tribes.

As soon as Cheng Gongying said this, the leaders of the grassland tribes were shocked.They sent troops this time because they wanted a share of the action.Now, the soup has not been distributed yet, so how can it be possible to let them go back.

Cheng Gongying seems to have seen what these reckless men are thinking, and Cheng Gongying also knows in his heart that dealing with this group of barbarians on the grassland is not to be tricked.When dealing with these savages on the prairie, you have to be frank in everything.

Cheng Gongying quickly explained: "Of course, I didn't ask you to really withdraw the troops. It's just a cover-up. You wait for the day to withdraw the troops, and come back secretly at night, and find a hidden place thirty miles away from our army camp to ambush."

"When Cao's army steals the camp, if you rush out suddenly, you will be able to catch them by surprise."

After Cheng Gongying's explanation, the barbarians on the grassland finally understood.It turned out that they were not really allowed to go, but a pocket was set up for Cao Jun to drill.The Central Plains people really have a lot of fancy intestines.

"Ha ha!"

"We will follow the order of the military division!" The leaders of the tribes in the grassland said.

Han Sui looked at Cheng Gongying and thought to himself, no wonder Ma Teng can become the king of Liang and have such great influence.This Cheng Gongying is a great talent.

"Mr. Gongying, Brother Beigong and I also need to withdraw our troops?" Han Sui asked Cheng Gongying.He called Cheng Gongying Mr. Gongying, not a military adviser.

It can be seen from this that Han Sui actually values ​​Cheng Gongying very much in his heart, and wants to get close to him.

"General Han and General Beigong don't need to withdraw their troops. You and the other two are the sworn brothers of the old prince. If you two also withdraw your troops and leave, it seems a bit too deliberate."

"Cao Cao is suspicious, we can't be too deliberate in everything, otherwise, once Cao Cao's suspicion is aroused, all previous efforts will be wasted." Cheng Gongying explained.

It has to be said that Cheng Gongying is very extraordinary.Although not as good as Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and other great talents.But he is also a master of the same level as Chen Deng, Chen Gong, and Lu Su. Unfortunately, Ma Teng lives in Xiliang, and he has not been given many opportunities to develop.

After the meeting dispersed, the various tribes in the grassland who came to help, followed Cheng Gongying's instructions, and began to gradually withdraw their troops.

Such a huge movement naturally alarmed Cao Jun's spies in the first place.

Tongguan.
