After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

As for Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong led [-] soldiers out of the city, under the banner of Cao Cao, and set up a battle in the wilderness of Weinan.

Cao Hong asked Xiahou Dun, "Yuan Rang, why are you playing the prime minister's banner?"

Xiahou Dun smiled: "Zi Lian is stupid, the prime minister has always been unaware of the truth when using troops, I pretend to be the prime minister here, and it will be much smoother for the prime minister to go to the south bank of the Weihe River again!"

Cao Hong smiled: "Yuan Rang has really grown up!"

Xiahou Dun set up an awning and looked at the enemy's formation from a distance: "Don't worry Zilian, Ma Teng is still in our hands, he and Ma Chao can't do anything to us!"

"En!" Cao Hong nodded heavily.

While speaking, Ma Chao had already stepped forward alone, pointing the spear in his hand at the Chinese army.

"Cao Bandit is at the Central Army, the generals don't have to hesitate, follow me to kill Cao Bandit and avenge my father!"

"Kill!" All of a sudden, [-] Yongzhou soldiers roared and charged forward.

This formation frightened Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong.

Ma Chao didn't say anything, and he didn't single out, he even ordered the war directly.

Xiahou Dun shouted: "The whole army will fight!"

Chapter 228 Xiahou Dun cut his beard and discarded his robe, the Xiliang Army still fell into the trap

Ma Chao, who wanted to avenge his father, didn't talk about martial arts at all, and took the lead in attacking Cao Jun.

Xiahou Dun had to fight hastily.

The [-] Yongzhou cavalry fought against the [-] Cao army.

In terms of military strength, the two armies are comparable.

But in terms of combat power, Xiahou Dun is slightly inferior to Ma Chao.

The war started in less than half an hour.

The ground was already full of corpses.

Blood flowed like a river.

And Cao Jun's large formation was also dispersed by the cavalry of the Xiliang Army.

"Don't pay attention to others, follow me to kill the Chinese army, and take Cao thief directly!"

Ma Chao roared and charged forward.

Cao Hong yelled: "Oops, Ma Chao is coming straight to the Chinese army, Yuan Rang should order to retreat!"

"The war has just begun, and our army is in full swing. Why are you afraid of Ma Chao?" Xiahou Dun held up his sword: "Zi Lian will follow me to fight Ma Chao, except for this thief who can win in one battle!"

In an instant, Cao Hong's blood was also awakened by Xiahou Dun.

Although Ma Chao was brave, if he killed Ma Chao, the battle would be over.

"Kill!" The two yelled one after another, leading the main force of the Chinese army to face Ma Chao.

Ma Chao held a long spear and took Xiahou Dun directly.

In Ma Chao's view, Xiahou Dun in a red robe is Cao Cao, but for some reason he is missing an eye.

"Cao thief, kill my father and brother, this hatred will not be shared, I will kill you, eat your flesh, and sleep on your skin!"

Xiahou Dun took up the big sword and fought Ma Chao decisively, Cao Hong assisted in the battle.

No matter how fiercely the two attacked, they were defeated by Ma Chao's bravery.

"Shh!"

Well, Ma Chao's spear suddenly stabbed at Xiahou Dun, directly piercing his heart armor.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun panicked.

Only then did they realize that Ma Chao was much braver than they had imagined.

"Zi Lian, retreat quickly!"

Xiahou Dun roared, and took the lead to escape on horseback.

"Cao thief, where are you going?"

Ma Chao roared, and immediately led his troops to pursue Xiahou Dun.

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong fled wildly with their subordinates.

Ma Chao quickly chased after Xiahou Dun's buttocks: "The man in the red robe is Cao thief, follow me to kill Cao thief!"

The Yongzhou cavalry went straight to the red robe Xiahou Dun to kill.

"Zilian, save me!" Xiahou Dun yelled.

Cao Hong said loudly: "Don't hesitate, quickly throw away the robe!"

Xiahoudun heard the words, untied the robe and threw it off with the wind.

The two armies fought in a melee, without the red robes, many Yongzhou cavalry could not tell who Cao Cao was, and only fought with the enemy soldiers.

Although others don't remember Cao Cao's appearance, Ma Chao remembers it clearly.

Because Cao Cao is his father-killing enemy.

"The one with the long beard is Cao thief, follow me to kill Cao thief!"

Xiahou Dun, who had just gotten rid of the pursuers, had countless Yongzhou cavalry behind him.

Xiahou Dun roared, "Zilian, what's the matter?"

Cao Hong said loudly: "Cut off the beard!"

Without hesitation, Xiahou Dun drew out his sword and cut off his beard.

Then he led his troops out of the encirclement.

Sure enough, the Yongzhou cavalry lost their target again.

But even if Xiahou Dun had cut off his beard, Ma Chao still recognized him.

Ma Chao raised his spear high and roared, "The one with the short beard is Cao's thief!"

Xiahou Dun exclaimed: "The horse bullied me too much!"

"Quick!" Cao Hong yelled again: "Wrap your beard!"

Xiahou Dun pulled a large flag, tore it into a strip of cloth and wrapped it around his chin, and escaped another catastrophe.

But even with a beard, Ma Chao still recognized him.

"The one-eyed man is Cao thief, follow me to kill Cao thief!"

At this moment, Xiahou Dun collapsed.

He threw away the robe, cut off the beard, and hugged the chin again.

Now Ma Chao calls the one-eyed man a thief Cao, how can he cover it up?

Xiahou Dun said loudly: "Zi Lian..."

Cao Hong said loudly: "Go into the woods ahead, Gao Shun, Xu Huang is here to rob the camp!"

"Okay!" Xiahou Dun heard the words, and galloped into the woods.

"Cao thief, don't go!" Ma Chao shouted angrily, and threw the spear directly at Xiahou Dun.

Unexpectedly, Gao Shun suddenly rushed out from the woods and blocked Ma Chao's spear with his shield.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Huang led his troops out of the woods.

Seeing that the enemy's situation was unknown and there might be ambushes in the woods, Ma Chao had no choice but to order a retreat.

Seeing that the Xiliang army had withdrawn, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, who had hid in, breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Huang asked: "Two generals, are you all right?"

Xiahou Dun shook his head: "Ma Chao is so brave, why didn't you two talk about it earlier?"

Gao Shun didn't speak, but looked at Xu Huang, who said, "We reminded you before sending out troops, but you said that Lu Bu's bravery is not intimidating!"

Xiahou Dun's face turned black immediately, and he immediately waved his hands: "Don't say too much, go back to the city quickly!"

"Obey!" The two generals clasped their fists together and led their troops back to Tongguan.

At the same time, Ma Chao withdrew his troops and returned to the coalition camp in Xiliang.

The first thing is to report the results to Han Sui.

"Uncle, our army has won a big victory in this battle. If Gao Shun and Xu Huang hadn't responded, I would have killed Cao thief!"

Han Sui smiled: "I'll listen to Meng Qi's detailed explanation!"

With a big wave of his hand, Ma Chao described to Han Sui the battle just now.

Han Sui's expression changed suddenly when he heard that the one-eyed man was Cao thief.

"Oops, we fell for it!"

"Did you fall into the trap?" Ma Chao was puzzled, "What does Uncle mean by that?"

Han Sui immediately said: "When you sent troops, our army saw traces of Cao Jun on the south bank of the Weihe River!"

As a veteran of Xiliang, Han Sui was extremely shrewd.

He asked Ma Chao to fight Cao Cao and stick to the camp himself, because he was afraid that the scheming Cao Cao would attack the Xiliang coalition camp!

Ma Chao said: "With my uncle guarding the camp of the coalition army, Cao Jun dare not attack!"

Han Sui still shook his head: "The one-eyed man should be Xiahou Dun, the one who is fighting you is not Cao Cao!"

Ma Chao said, "You mean, the real Cao Cao is on the south bank of the Weihe River?"

"That's right!" Han Sui nodded.

"So what?" Ma Chao shook his head: "Xiahou Dun's troops, Cao Cao will definitely withdraw to Tongguan!"

"You were wrong, and I was wrong too!" Han Sui shook his head: "Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun to feign an attack and go up the Wei River by himself. The purpose was not to sneak attack on our Xiliang army camp, but to go down the river!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Chao's face suddenly changed.

Tongguan was originally a strong city.

If you want to conquer the Central Plains, you must first break through Tongguan.

If you don't break Tongguan, you have to cross the Weihe River and go to Pubanjin.

Yang Qiu said: "Cao Cao went to the village on the south bank of the Weihe River. Our army will no longer be able to bypass Tongguan. This battle will be difficult!"

Han Sui immediately said: "Our army will never let Cao Cao go to the south bank of the Weihe River!"

Ma Chao sternly said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will immediately lead my troops to the south bank of Weinan to kill Cao thief!"

Han Sui shook his head: "Meng Qi has just fought a bloody battle with Xiahou Dun, and he is already an exhausted army. You stick to the camp, and I will personally lead the troops to attack Cao Cao!"

"Thank you uncle!" Ma Chao clasped his fists in gesture.

At the same time, Han Sui immediately led his subordinates Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, and Zhang Heng out of the camp to fight towards the south bank of the Weihe River.

The news quickly spread to the south bank of the Weihe River, and the sun had already set.

Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and Cao Chun to lead their troops against Han Sui.

The two armies met in the wilderness.

The candidate took the lead: "I am the candidate, who dares to fight me?"

Zhao Yun rode out and pointed his spear at the candidate: "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan, and I am willing to fight with you!"

The candidate roared and slapped his horse to fight Zhao Yun.

Chapter 229 Zhao Yun angrily kills the two generals of Xiliang, Ma Chao mocks Han Sui

The moment the two got close, the machete in the candidate's hand slashed at Zhao Yun, and the latter retreated tactically to avoid it.

The candidate came flying from the horseback, waving three knives in the air.

"Shua, Shua, Shua!" The blade flashed coldly.
