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

Chapter 282 Seducing Ma Chao
Cao Pi nodded after listening to Sima Yi's analysis.

He immediately felt that what Sima Yi said made sense.

If Cao Peng stood on the opposite side of Cao Cao, then he would no longer be an enemy to them, but could still be drawn to them.

"Sir, I admire your ability to strategize, and I will rely on you in the future." Cao Pi cupped his hands and said.

"Young master, what did you say? You and I are in the same boat, we both prosper and we both lose!" Sima Yi cupped his hands in return.

……

Cao Cao's class teacher returned a lot, and Cao Peng immediately took action.

He believed that if he could think of the strategy of sneak attack, Zhuge Liang could think of it too.

Therefore, he must preemptively prevent Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang from actually attacking Xu Du.

After summoning the generals, Cao Peng immediately made Guan Yu and Zhao Yun the vanguard.

Leading 3 cavalry, he went straight to Ma Chao's camp.

As for Cao Peng, he led 1 horses, and the soldiers had a continuous crossbow.

The sound of horseshoes sounded like thunder on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he came to Ma Chao's camp.

The back of Ma Chao's car had already come to report to him that an army was coming straight at him, which immediately stunned Ma Chao.

Originally, he was the only one who crushed others. How could such a situation ever happen?

On the plain, someone dared to fight him?

"Could it be Cao Peng?" Ma Chao asked.

The guard on the side clasped his hands and replied, "It seems to be Cao Peng!"

Not only Ma Chao frowned, but also Zhuge Liang who was beside him at this time.

"What a bold lunatic, he naturally wants to fight me on the plain!"

"Since he has such courage, then I will grant him his blessing, let's see whose iron cavalry is stronger on this plain!"

"General, don't act rashly, bring all the scouts back, and then move into action!" Zhuge Liang said with a frown.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Ma Chao sat down again and waited for a while.

After all the scouts came back, Zhuge Liang understood Cao Jun's military arrangement.

After reading the report sent back by the scouts, Zhuge Liang frowned and analyzed:
"Cao Cao, it seems that he has handed over the frontline affairs to Cao Peng, and he should have returned to Xudu himself!"

The reason for this analysis is that Zhuge Liang had previously regarded Cao Peng as an imaginary enemy, and he already knew Cao Peng and Cao Cao's habits of arranging military formations well.

All of a sudden, Zhuge Liang saw through such a change in the soldiers and horses on the front line.

When Ma Chao heard it, he was immediately happy.

"Wouldn't it be better this way, Cao Peng is gone, so Cao Peng should have fewer soldiers and horses!"

Zhuge Liang on the side shook his head, and he shook his goose feather feather fan lightly, "General, don't underestimate the enemy. When Cao Cao was around, they entangled and intrigue with each other. Cao Peng is in charge of the army alone, and the combat effectiveness is beyond what can be measured before."

After hearing this, Ma Chao didn't take it seriously, "Sir, why do you want to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

Zhuge Liang persuaded him earnestly: "General, we are occupying the city now. If Cao Peng wants to attack, the camp and the city will form an angle, and he will be defeated."

"If we confront him head-on, then we are abandoning the strengths of our army to cater to the opponent. This is a taboo for military strategists!"

Maybe because he felt that what Zhuge Liang said was reasonable, Ma Chao agreed.

However, it didn't take long for scouts to report again, and Cao's army was divided into two troops. It seemed that this posture was to encircle Tongguan.

Ma Chao couldn't sit still anymore, he knew a truth, if they were surrounded by Cao Jun, then they would be treated as sandwich biscuits.

So, he planned to attack, and said to Zhuge Liang again:
"Sir, the problem now, it seems that we have to go out!"

Even so, Zhuge Liang still felt that this was probably the opponent's strategy.

"General, this is probably Cao Peng's trick. We must not leave the city without authorization!"

This time, Ma Chao didn't listen to him, "Leave the matter of defending the city to the gentleman, and I'll go back as soon as I go!"

After explaining the matter, Ma Chao led the soldiers and left the city.

……

Upon hearing the news that Ma Chao led troops out of the city, Cao Peng immediately began to form his troops.

"Zilong, I'll leave you the tiger and leopard cavalry, and then I'll give you 8000 more. You must hang on to Ma Chao!" Cao Peng confessed.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun cupped his hands, "Don't worry, General, even if I lose this life, I will definitely not lose the city!"

Zhao Yun's martial arts and the bravery of tiger and leopard cavalry are well known.

But Ma Chao and his Xiliang iron cavalry were not easy to deal with.

"Zilong, Ma Chao still has some real kung fu, you can't underestimate the enemy!" Guan Yu on the side reminded him kindly.

Zhao Yun cupped his hands in thanks, "Don't worry, Yun Chang, Zilong knows!"

Zhao Yun, dressed in silver armor and spears, led 1500 tiger and leopard cavalry, plus 8000 ordinary cavalry, and marched towards the place where Ma Chao came.

At this time, after the horse surpassed Tongguan City, according to military intelligence, he planned to directly attack Cao Jun's camp.

However, it never occurred to him that Cao Peng planned all of this and deliberately left it for him to see.

"General, there is an army coming straight at us from the side, and it seems that the target is us!"

Pound on the side said this to Ma Chao.

After hearing this, Ma Chao frowned, thinking that his whereabouts had been exposed.

"Array to meet the enemy!"

Since the opponent is coming to challenge him head-on, how can he have any reason to refuse the challenge?
Zhao Yun did not disappoint Ma Chao either. He led the tiger and leopard cavalry to confront Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry.

When Ma Chao saw that the leading general was not Cao Peng, he immediately felt that he was underestimated.

"Who is coming?" Ma Chao asked, pointing a gun at Zhao Yun.

He dared to point at himself with a broken gun. Seeing Ma Chao being so rude, Zhao Yun didn't intend to be polite to him.

"I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan, and I am here to punish the rebels by order of the imperial court!"

When Ma Chao heard this person, his tone was serious, and he couldn't help but look at this person a few more times.

This person was dressed in silver dragon armor, with a silver spear in his hand, and looked extraordinary.

He looks a little young, so he probably won't be a scary guy like Guan Yu.

"Where's Cao Peng? Don't you dare to come?" Ma Chao asked arrogantly.

But Zhao Yun smiled, "It's enough to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer against you and me, why do you need a general?"

After hearing these arrogant words, Ma Chao immediately raised his gun and charged towards Zhao Yun. The spear danced with overwhelming momentum.

Zhao Yun also waved his silver gun to meet him, and the spear blossomed one after another, entangled with Ma Chao.

After handing over, Ma Chao found that Zhao Yun's strength was indeed very strong.

The opponent's silver long spear danced with spear flowers one after another, always able to block all his attacks when there was no time to fire.
