Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 260 Cao Hong Applying to Play
At this time in Chang'an City, Zhong Yao couldn't eat or sleep all day long.

Although the Xiliang army did not attack the city, the soldiers had subsided for several days.

But Zhong Yao was worried, because in a few days, the food and grass in the city might be exhausted, and even the water source would be a problem.

If the enemy continued to siege, without waiting for the enemy to attack the city, his city would naturally be in chaos.

The only thing he can look forward to is the early arrival of Cao Cao's reinforcements, but there is no news from Cao Cao's side, making him think that he has been abandoned.

At this time, a personal guard pushed the door in and said to him: "Master County Guard, the Xiliang army has retreated!"

When Zhong Yao heard this, he was so stupid that the teacup he was holding fell to the ground.

Zhong Yao stood up, pushed the guard away, and hurriedly boarded the tower to have a look.

Taking a closer look, the wind and dust billowed in the distance, but the army besieging the city with thousands of powders had disappeared without a trace. Did all the troops and horses in Xiliang retreat? !
Zhong Yao didn't understand why the Xiliang army came and went like the wind.

I don't know why they just retreated without a fight.

But for him, this is simply a solution to the urgent need.

"General, could this be the enemy's trick!" said the lieutenant general.

Although Zhong Yao also had such considerations, he couldn't control it anymore. Now that the water source is in an emergency, he has to let people go out of the city to fetch water first.

The gates of the city were opened, and the soldiers and people in the city cheered and went out to fetch water.

In the forest not far away, Ma Chao led his army in ambush in the grass beside the river.

Seeing that someone in the city really came out to fetch water, Ma Chao was immediately refreshed, and immediately led his army to rush there.

The soldiers who left the city knew that they had been tricked and ran back in a hurry.

But they couldn't run faster than the Xiliang iron cavalry, and they were constantly slaughtered on the way to escape.

Ma Chao laughed wildly and chased him all the way to the west gate of the city.

Before the suspension bridge here could be pulled up, Ma Chao took the lead and jumped over it.

The silver gun swept across, and went straight to the goalkeeper.

The sharp spear blade, like a silver dragon and lightning, pierced through the neck of the city defender.

Seeing the death of the general guarding the city, the soldiers scattered around in a hurry, not daring to make an enemy of Ma Chao.

So easily, the west gate of Chang'an City was breached by Ma Chao, and the Xiliang army filed in through this breach.

Massacres, arson, cavalry protruding swords and guns!

Zhong Yao didn't know what it meant, but he was still willing to live and die with the city. He came to fight Ma Chao on horseback.

A shout came, but he was blocked by a figure.

"Who are you?!" Zhong Yao was furious.

The burly general replied loudly, "I am Xiliang Pang De, take my life!"

Pang De's big sword was fast and ruthless, but Zhong Yao couldn't resist it, and was cut off by the opponent within a few rounds.

Now even Junshou is dead, the defenders in the city, those who surrendered surrendered, and those who fled ran away.

No one dared to continue to compete with Ma Chao here.

Chang'an City was easily occupied by the troops led by Ma Chao and Han Sui.

Ma Chao came to Han Sui, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to my uncle's strategizing, we were able to capture Chang'an City so easily this time. Please accept my nephew's respect!"

Han Sui supported him, and then said: "This war has just begun. The main force of Cao Jun is our real enemy. Let's recharge our batteries and prepare to fight!"

After Ma Chao nodded heavily, he immediately ordered to reward the three armies.

……

Let's say that after Chang'an fell, the army was defeated and fled, and soon came to Tongguan.

The guard at Tongguan turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he immediately sent his messengers galloping to Xudu to report to Cao Cao.

In Xuducheng, Cao Cao learned that Chang'an City had missed, Ma Teng and Han Sui raised 20 troops to attack him, and immediately threw his cup angrily.

He didn't ask all the generals to come to discuss immediately, but called his confidants.

Advisors include Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xun Rong, Sima Yi, etc., and generals include Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, etc.

Several counselors looked at the newly appeared Sima Yi, and some were curious about who this person was?
Cao Cao did not introduce Sima Yi's life experience, he said directly:

"Ma Chao and Han Sui, two life-and-death melees, dare to send troops to attack me. What do you think should be done?"

Just like the prudent advisers like Cheng Yu and Xun You did not express their opinions, but Cao Ren and other generals immediately clamored that Ma Chao was just a villager from Xiliang, and he dared to send troops here, and he would never return.

Cao Cao stopped the crowd from clamoring, and asked directly by name: "Cheng Yu, tell us what we should do?"

Cheng Yu took a step forward and cupped his hands, "The other party has already attacked, so naturally we can only send troops to meet them!"

"In my opinion, although the Xiliang army is brave, its soldiers are not good at attacking the city. We just need to take a defensive position. When the grass is exhausted, they will naturally retreat!"

Hearing this, the generals headed by Cao Ren Cao Hong Xiahou Dun immediately sneered.

"Although Mr. Cheng is very resourceful, he is not as good as us rough people when it comes to the use of troops." Cao Hong was the first to laugh.

Cheng Yu, a man of self-restraint, was patient and did not refute, but instead said: "I would like to hear the details, and I will listen with all my ears!"

Cao Hong was also not modest, and immediately said: "The jumping beam clown in the land of Xiliang dares to show off in front of us. If you don't tell him to come and go, how can he show the prime minister's heavenly power!"

Ah……

Cheng Yu suddenly wanted to sneer, the Cao family even used the word Tianwei.

It seems that the desire to change the dynasty is already a must-do in the hearts of the Cao family.

However, he glanced lightly at Cao Cao's face, and saw that the old Cao was quite useful.

It seems that Lao Cao is really gone.

He is obviously dissatisfied with the plan that he said before that he should defend the city and wait for the Xiliang army to retreat.

Cao Cao glanced at him, and asked majesticly: "I heard that the brocade horse from Xiliang is unstoppable, compared to Lu Bu back then, among the generals, is there anyone who dares to fight him?!"

Cao Hong stood up and said sharply, "Ma Chao from Xiliang is nothing more than a countryman in my eyes. Please give me [-] elite soldiers. I will take his head and hang it on the wall of Chang'an!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded after hearing Cao Hong's bold words.

He felt that the Cao family should have such a demeanor, and the Cao family's children should be so crazy.

"Since this is the case, I will make you the chief general and Xu Huang the deputy general. The two of you will lead 1 troops and go to Tongguan to face Ma Chao!"

"You only need to stick to it for ten days, and after ten days, I will personally lead the army to come!"

"No!" Cao Honglang said.

The 1 broken Ma Chao mentioned just now is just a lie. Everyone knows that Ma Chao has an army of 20 in his hands, and it is not so easy to deal with.
