Xiaoguangong

Chapter 237 I'll Go First

Chang Diao finally persuaded Cao Cao and returned to the camp on the east bank of the Yellow River contentedly.

It's finally safe now.

Looking at the very obedient Yellow River tamed by the cold, Chang Diao couldn't help stretching his waist and laughing.

In the absence of Tongguan, Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops crossing the river must of course ensure the safety of their return and the transfer of food and grass. Cao Cao, who is often in waves, does not dare to joke about his own life, even though he feels that Chang Diao's intelligence is not reliable. However, Chang Diao was still sent back here as required to be responsible for the transshipment of grain and grass and guarding the back road.

Of course, Chang Diao didn't receive any information from Ma Chao. As long as Ma Chao didn't want to be cut off, he wouldn't come here foolishly.

However, there will definitely be times when military affairs go wrong, and Chang Diao can at best do bad things with good intentions. No matter how tyrannical Cao Cao is, he will not be able to deal with him with such things.

Even if Tongguan was recaptured later, and Chang Diao was sent to the front line, the battle at that time would definitely not be as tragic as the current Death Charge, and Chang Diao could barely handle it with his meager martial arts skills.

Chang Diao was very satisfied with his performance, the only thing that made him a little bit unhappy was that Zhuge Qian came with him.

Now Zhugeqian is obedient to Chang Diao, and Chang Diao will not go west when Chang Diao goes east. He heard that Chang Diao was going to guard the camp, and he immediately realized that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He took the initiative to ask Cao Cao to return to Chang Diao. subordinate.

Especially since Lu Hong has taken refuge in Yang Xiu, Zhugeqian feels that he is absolutely loyal to Chang Diao and can gain Chang Diao's trust even more.

Chang Diao was overwhelmed by the disturbance, and immediately closed the tent door after returning to the camp, expressing that he never wanted to see Zhugeqian, the plague god, but Zhugeqian was not discouraged either, he believed that his sincerity would definitely move Chang Diao, and when the time came He will surpass Lu Hong and become Chang Diao's absolute confidant.

.

Tongguan.

Ma Chao is under increasing pressure.

He was teased by Chang Diao in Huayin, and the Battle of the Yellow River was easily dismissed by Cao Cao. He lost the strategic importance of the Yellow River and even the entire Weibei. Dazed for a moment, Zhang Heng challenged Ma Chao together, asking Ma Chao to admit his crimes, admitting that Ma Chao was just a brave and foolish warrior.

"We joined forces to conspire in one place this time, all for the sake of Dudu Han.

Although General Ma is brave and invincible, his resourcefulness is a little... Hey, I don't think we should hurt our peace, why don't we invite Governor Han to preside over the big event? "Although Yang Qiu's words were mild on the surface, knives were hidden in every move.

He clearly accused Ma Chao of being brave and foolish, and forced Ma Chao to return the power of command to Han Sui. Even if Ma Chao disagreed, Yang Qiu and Li Kan didn't bother to continue working with Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was angry and impatient, seeing the snowflakes slowly falling in the leaden sky, his heart was cold again.

Ma Chao is the head of Ma Teng's sons, but he is not Ma Teng's eldest son. During the chaotic years of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, there was blood and massacres everywhere. Don't ask.

It was also in this Shura field that Ma Chao gradually grew stronger with his amazing talent and extraordinary courage, and he had an army that could rival Ma Teng. As Ma Teng gradually lost in the battle with Han Sui, Ma Chao It has even far surpassed Ma Teng's power. Later, Ma Teng was forced to become an official in the court because he was worried that his son would be difficult to control when he grew up.

This time, Ma Chao thought he could do something great. Back then, Ma Teng invaded and plundered the three assistants, and the court was powerless to wipe them out. Ma Chao thought that he was much stronger than Ma Teng back then, enough to take advantage of the weakening of Cao Jun's power to fight for hegemony. , like the Sun family of Jiangdong, truly became a prince of one side.

Unexpectedly, and I don't know whether it is his own lack of strength or Cao Cao's cunning, Ma Chao's initial success in raising troops this time has been frustrated again and again.

Seeing those generals who were usually servile to him betray him and leave, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, and a crazy idea gradually brewed in his heart.

Impossible, impossible!
Before that, I was attacking the city and defending the river beach, so I couldn't give full play to my Ma Chao's strengths.

But it's different now.

"What did Cao Cao rely on to turn defeat into victory in the Battle of Guandu many years ago?" Ma Chao's voice was very deep.

Yang Qiu sneered: "Back when Duke Cao and Yuan Shao were confronting Guandu, he used Xu You's strategy to personally lead a surprise army to attack Wuchao, and a fire burned Yuan Shao's food and grass, so he turned defeat into victory.

But before that, Cao Gong and Yuan Shao fought equally, and even beheaded Yan Liang, the general of Yuan Shao's army, on a white horse.

Why, Meng Qi also wants to follow the example of Duke Cao back then? "

"Not bad!"

Ma Chao's eyes almost burst into flames, and Yang Qiu, who claimed to be a ruthless man, dared not move for a moment because of his ferocious appearance.

"I personally led the army out of Tongguan to attack Cao Jun's camp on the east bank of the Yellow River.

Please help me guard Tongguan, I will kill the Sancao army in a few days and come back to celebrate with you! "

Yang Qiu's face turned pale with shock. He didn't expect Ma Chao to come up with such a crazy idea.

Ma Chao is really crazy, purely crazy, he actually came up with such a way to survive, to attack Cao Jun's camp on the east bank of the Yellow River!
"Yes, can it work?" Yang Qiu was dumbfounded.

"You don't need to go! Keep an eye on Tongguan for me, I will come as soon as I go!"

·
Chang Diao hummed very leisurely, and walked back and forth in the barracks with his hands behind his back. If it wasn't for showing that he worked hard in the military, he wouldn't be bothered to walk back and forth in the army against the cold wind.

Chang Diao couldn't help but beam with joy when he thought that Cao Zhen might have fought Han Sui and Ma Chao's main force with his blood at this time.

let's hit.

let's hit.

Let's see if your tiger and leopard riders are better or Liangzhou's iron riders are better.

If you win, Prime Minister Huanxi will naturally not care about my small mistakes; if you lose, I will try my best to keep the rear camp alive, this is also a great contribution to me.

Oh, how did I come up with such a genius idea? It seems that I have made some progress as a military adviser for a while.

He was proud that his subordinate Zhao Da had sent a secret letter.

Zhao Da was Chang Diao's subordinate when he was the commander of the bodyguards in Cao Ren's army. He was a vicious and vicious villain. As soon as he hugged him, he didn't even want to be the commander of the guards, he was willing to be Chang Diao's personal guard.

Chang Diao didn't want to see his old colleague like this, so he simply asked Zhao Da to follow him all the time, and specially passed the secret letter to Xu Shu to himself-if he leaked the news, Chang Diao didn't mind throwing this old colleague into the Yellow River Let's go for a swim.

He leisurely opened Xu Shu's letter, only to see a few large characters written in thick ink on it:

Stay close to Duke Cao for a moment, and you will be safe.

Chang Diao: ...

What the hell, did Xu Shu drink too much?He commands blindly when he doesn't understand anything thousands of miles away, don't I often don't know how to fight?

Even so, the more Chang Diao thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Xu Shu was exhaustive, and his suggestions often hit the mark directly, but unfortunately he was not by his side, so he didn't dare to write more in letters.

This made Chang Diao's back break out in cold sweat.

Hey, but I can't go back now, what should I do...

He was still racking his brains and thinking hard when he suddenly heard a piercing scream from a distance.

"Ah ah ah..."

The screams were extremely ear-piercing, and Zhao Da was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms, leaving Chang Diao alone in a mess in the wind.

This, so clever?
Ma Chao led the army to skillfully control the horses to approach quietly. He shot an arrow through the throat of a Cao soldier with his own hands.

"Who is guarding the camp?"

Ma Dai behind him felt the boundless anger in Ma Chao's heart, and tremblingly said:

"I heard from the captive that it's Chang Diao..."

"Chang Diao!" Ma Chao recalled the experience of being humiliated by Chang Diao in Huayin who opened the door to sleep, and suddenly felt waves of blood rushing to his forehead.

"The whole army is attacking! Those who cut off the heads of Changdiao will be rewarded!"

"Kill Chang Diao! Kill Chang Diao!"

Tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops uttered thunderous shouts, and the terrifying roars were like the roars of wounded wild animals. Cao Jun's generals all turned pale and turned their eyes to Chang Diao.

And... it's really here!
Sure enough, as Chang Diao guessed, Ma Chao came to attack Cao Jun's camp on the east bank!
Most of Cao Jun's soldiers didn't take Chang Diao's warning to heart at all before, and they thought that no matter how rampant Ma Chao was, he wouldn't even want Tongguan, and would kill here directly.

But Ma Chao completely ignored Cao Jun's suspicious soldiers in Tongguan, and also ignored his own logistics that was about to be cut off, and directly led the army to Cao Cao's camp on the east bank of the Yellow River. Obviously, he was extremely angry and even lost his mind.

"Not good not good not good!"

Chang Diao, the designer of the whole battle, was actually the most confused one.

He didn't expect that Ma Chao would have such courage. He didn't have many soldiers under him, and he had already had conflicts with Yang Qiu, so he dared to lead an army to kill him!
This is going to be desperate!

"Chang Diao accepts his life!"

"Chang Diao accepts his life!"

"Chang Diao accepts his life!"

The cries of the evil ghost pulled Chang Diao out of his panic a little bit. He didn't know why Ma Chao hated him so much, even though he hid here, he couldn't escape Ma Chao's pursuit.

His heart was broken, and he immediately made a judgment - run!

Too many people fleeing will definitely attract Ma Chao's attention, and they can't run away from Ma Chao's cavalry.

Chang Diao hesitated for a moment and immediately pulled over a tiger and leopard general, and said in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

The man was startled: "The young one's name is Hao..."

"Oh I remembered you were the one.

I have heard Zidan mention your name before, saying that you are proficient in sign language and are known as General Iron Wall.

This big camp is entrusted to you to guard! "

"Huh?" The man was so startled that he couldn't speak.

Although every ordinary soldier of the tiger and leopard cavalry is equivalent to an officer in other armies, he has never commanded a battle. General Iron Wall.

Hmm, the name sounds pretty good.

"What about you, General?"

"You also heard that Ma Chao is going to kill me. I will lead the army away for everyone. I will leave without further ado and leave everything here to you."
