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

Chapter 267 Xu Chuyong Rescues Cao Cao
After watching Cao Jun get on the bamboo raft, Ma Chao planned to escape like this. He immediately asked the crossbowmen on the river bank to shoot arrows.

Wave after wave of arrows rained like raindrops, just like this.

Cao Jun, who had already boarded the bamboo raft, fell into the river one by one.

Xu Chu was afraid that the rebel army would sink Cao Cao's ship, so he kept shouting loudly.

Wielding his sword, he kept blocking the raindrops of sharp arrows, and at the same time yelled at the surroundings, barely maintaining the discipline of the army.

Seeing this, Ma Chao bent his bow and set an arrow himself.

A rain of arrows was shot out, all the arrows were shot in vain, and 10 people were shot into the water by him.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao is already a bit far from his effective range.

Xu Chu on the river, I was still on the other side of the river, gnashing my teeth, feeling relieved.

"Alright Prime Minister, we finally escaped this time!" Xu Chu shouted happily.

"it is good……"

Cao Cao agreed feebly. Now he felt that he was about to faint on this boat, and he couldn't be happy at all.

After Xu Chu laughed wildly, he didn't dare to stay here too much. He summoned up his might and paddled desperately with both hands.

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to escape from Shengtian, Ma Chao would quit, she was not reconciled to this.

"The whole army obeys the order. If you can't kill Cao thief today, then you will be a man of Xiliang in vain!"

Ma Chao made up his mind to break the boat, and he led the army to launch a charge, intending to stop Cao Cao's ships downstream.

However, at this moment, Ma Dai beside him discovered something unexpected.

"General, look at what is running all over the mountains and plains over there?"

Under Ma Dai's reminder, Ma Chao saw a group of cows and horses galloping across the hillside in the distance.

Before Ma Chao realized why such a strange scene suddenly appeared, he suddenly heard the joyful voices of his subordinates.

"not good……"

Ma Chao was startled, he realized what kind of consequences the appearance of these cattle and sheep would have on his subordinates.

For Xiliang people, cattle, horses and livestock are enough to make people crazy.

Seeing such a scene, the people of Xiliang immediately went crazy. They had no intention of chasing Cao Cao, but went to grab the cattle and horses instead.

No matter how much Ma Chao scolded him, he couldn't stop this situation.

Just when his side fell into chaos, Cao Cao's ship had disappeared in front of him.

"Evil thief, traitor!"

Although Ma Chao was a reckless man, he also understood at this time that it was clear that someone deliberately used these cattle and horses to interfere with his army.

Such a strategy is really not a hero, but he, Xiliang Jinma Chao, has been teased like this time and time again, and he is already furious.

The more exasperating thing happened after everyone robbed the cattle and horses.

These guys came to Ma Chao as if asking for credit.

A kind of sadness arises spontaneously, and a kind of indignation makes him want to draw his sword to kill.

"brute!"

"waste!"

Ma Chao raised the whip in his hand, and lashed at the school lieutenants beside him. These guys also participated in the robbing of cattle and horses just now, and they were their favorite.

"General, please spare me!"

Ma Chao's subordinates ran around in a hurry to avoid Ma Chao's beating, and even now they don't understand why Ma Chao is so angry.

Even though Ma Chao hated the whip, he whipped the Xiliang soldiers again and again.

But it is of no help to the overall situation.

……

Ma Chao led the crowd back to the camp dejectedly. When Han Sui saw him from a distance, he hurried over and asked him what was the matter.

Ma Chao said coldly: "I almost killed Cao Cao today, but I didn't expect to encounter some accidents one after another."

Han Sui hurriedly asked what was going on, and Ma Chao told what happened today.

Cao Cao really wanted to lead his troops across the river and get behind them.

Ma Chao did follow Zhuge Liang's strategy, and waited until Cao Jun had boarded the ship before launching the surprise attack.

As a result, Xu Chu tried his best to turn the tide to save Cao Cao at first, but then someone released the cattle, sheep and livestock, cutting off Ma Chao's last hope of capturing Cao Cao.

After hearing this, Han Sui said thoughtfully: "I heard that Cao Cao has an elite personal guard named Tiger Guard, and the man who leads the elite seems to be called Xu Chu, and everyone is called Tiger Crazy!"

"Next time if you meet again, don't underestimate the enemy!"

Ma Chao nodded and said, "I've also heard that this man has extraordinary courage and is Cao Cao's most important general, but I'd like to compete with him."

Han Sui noticed that Ma Chao had put away his contempt for Cao Jun now, which made him very relieved.

What he didn't know was that Ma Chao's change was all because of seeing Cao Peng and Xu Chu.

When he first entered the Central Plains, the Xiliang army was as powerful as a broken bamboo. After breaking through Chang'an and going down to Tongguan, Ma Chao once thought that Cao Jun was just a bunch of chickens and dogs.

It wasn't until he met Xu Chu after fighting Cao Peng that his arrogance calmed down a bit.

Han Sui said: "There are such patterns in Cao Cao's army. I think this war can't be dragged on any longer. Make a quick decision. Let's launch an attack tomorrow!"

Before Ma Chao could answer, a voice came from outside the door.

"General Han's words are justified, and I suggest that we launch an attack from the direction Cao Ren is guarding tomorrow."

Ma Chao was very familiar with this voice, until the tent door opened, he saw Zhuge Liang gently shaking his feather fan.

"Sir, it's just in time for you to come. Hurry up and give us a detailed layout, what should happen tomorrow."

After hearing Ma Chao's words, Zhuge Liang smiled faintly.

"Meng Qi, I suspect that the person in the Cao camp who came up with a wonderful plan is Cao Peng who fought against you that day."

Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, and said immediately: "That guy is so brave that he should be a general. I don't think he should be such a despicable and shameless person!"

Zhuge Liang didn't know what to say after hearing this, he could only say that Ma Chao was too naive.

However, he was also very disgusted with Cao Peng, so he continued to say along the way: "That guy has a good face, and he is a hypocrite. He is a complete hypocrite. General Meng Qi must not show mercy next time he sees him."

Ma Chaoda nodded in a sudden realization. It turned out that Cao Peng's strange words were intended to deceive him.

"Don't worry, sir. I won't be so naive to ask sir to arrange it. What should we do next?"

When it was time for Zhuge Liang to perform again, he lightly waved the goose-feather feather fan, a kind of momentum of pointing the country, coming out through his body.

"This time, I suggest that General Han lead the army to garrison the camp, and General Meng Qi lead the army to attack, and let Pang De be the vanguard. The next thing will be done as you see fit."

Zhuge Liang was gearing up, he really wanted to compete with Cao Peng to see whose strategy was better.
