Demon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99: The Horse Is Really the Enemy!

"Sir, do you mean...?"

"General Yan, I am afraid that the general contributed a lot to the information obtained by Sir Sikong on the Xiliang Army?" Yang Fu smiled and glanced at Yan Xing.

"That's right, my heart is with Lord Sikong, and my family members have been secretly sent to Xudu. I will send my confidants to send information to Lord Sikong every once in a while."

"My lord, Sir Sikong sent the Anding garrison to raid Tianshui and Jincheng on the grounds that he had accurate information. Is it probably also the information provided by General Yan?"

"Exactly, this is the decision of the Xiliang Army's military council, and I was right next to Ma Chao at the time."

"To be able to participate in the military discussions of the Xiliang Army, the general must be an important figure in the Xiliang Army, but the Xiliang Army is at a stalemate with our army, why is the general sent here? The Weishui Ferry is just a mere crossing, do you need the general to garrison himself? "

"This...?" Yan Xing was stunned for a moment. Judging from the current confrontation between the Cao Army and the Xiliang Army, the Weishui Ferry is indeed a dispensable strategic location, and Yan Xing is stationed here , the main job is to detect the enemy's situation and prevent Cao Jun from going south.For this mission, a school captain can do Wancheng, so why let Yan Xing come in person?

"Sir, what you said is reasonable. It seems that Xing's whereabouts have already been exposed. Ma Chao just used Xing to lure Master Sikong to send troops." Yan Xing shook his head. It seemed that he had fallen for Ma Chao's plan, and he was mistaken when he sent the information to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's big event.

"General! Something has happened!" A soldier covered in blood rode towards Yan Xing.

"Wang Zhen, you are not in the barracks, why are you here?" Yan Xing was taken aback.This person is his confidant.Captain Wang Zhen!

"General. General, take the people away quickly. Pound led the army to take over the army. A sudden attack, our brothers are all dead!"

"What!" Pound actually led someone to copy his barracks?

"General Yan, it seems that Ma Chao has decided to get rid of you. We'd better leave here and cross the Weishui River. Going to Tongguan is the best policy!"

"Okay! What Mr. Wei said is true. Let's leave immediately. There is a ferry ahead!" Yan Xing was in charge of guarding the ferry, so naturally he also prepared the ferry.

Yan Xing led five hundred soldiers and Wei Kang and his party crossed the Yellow River by boat. At this time, Cao Cao was leading an army to attack Chang'an City.

"Report! Lord Sikong, the siege equipment has been prepared, please give orders from Lord Sikong!"

"Okay! Order the whole army to attack the city!"

"promise!"

The command flag soldiers waved the command flag, and Cao Jun's siege troops began to advance.First, the catapults fired boulders and hit the walls of Chang'an.Then there is Cao Cao's mobile archery tower.Cao Jun's bows and arrows shot towards Chang'an City like a rain of arrows, and the Xiliang Army also responded with bows and crossbows.In the end, it was Cao Cao's siege vehicle, under the cover of shield soldiers, which slowly advanced and attacked under the tower of Chang'an.

"Fall the boulder!" Ma Chao personally commanded from Chang'an City, and immediately issued the military order to drop the boulder after seeing Cao Cao's siege vehicle approaching.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the Chang'an city tower was already covered with corpses. Although the city gate had not been breached, the Xiliang army had also suffered heavy losses, and there were not many soldiers left on the tower.

"Major General, my lord and General Han have retreated to the north bank of the Weihe River, and the Major General's personal soldiers are also ready." Ma Chao's lieutenant boarded the tower and reported to Ma Chao.

"Okay, let's withdraw from Chang'an!" Ma Chao smiled slightly, went down the tower with his personal guards, and withdrew the elite cavalry from the west gate, and retreated to the north bank of the Weishui River.

"Report! Sir Sikong, our army has recaptured Chang'an, and General Cao is leading people to clean up the battlefield."

"Okay! Order the whole army to enter Chang'an!"

"promise!"

Three days later, at the prefect's mansion in Chang'an, Cao Cao no longer had the joy of regaining Chang'an, and his face was full of sadness. He thought he had won the Xiliang army, but the real result was that he was plotted by Ma Chao, and now it's just a mutual victory. That's all.

Just after Cao Cao captured Chang'an, news came that Tongguan was attacked by the Xiliang army, but fortunately Tongguan guard Li Dian handled it properly and finally defended Tongguan, but part of Cao's supplies in Tongguan was burned by the Xiliang army. Most of the soldiers of the army were also lost.

Just as Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, he received two more battle reports. Just after Cao Cao finished reading the battle reports, he was so out of breath that he suffered from a headache and fell to the ground.

The capture of Anding and Beidi by the Xiliang army meant that Cao Jun lost the land of Liangzhou in Weibei. At the same time, Cao Cao discovered that the purpose of Ma Chao's mobilization of the army to Chang'an was not to defend Chang'an but to defend Weishui.In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of Cao Jun and Xiliang Army have been reversed. It is not Cao Jun's decisive battle with the main force of Xiliang Army, but the main force of Xiliang Army is going to drag Cao Jun to death south of the Wei River.

The most important thing is that Yan Xing was found out by Ma Chao, and Cao Jun lost his super internal support in the Xiliang Army.

"See Lord Sikong!"

"Get up!" Cao Cao waved his hands weakly, and raised his head helplessly.

"Thank you sir!"

"Please plead guilty to Lord Sikong. If Xing's information is not wrong, Lord Sikong will not lose the stability and the Northland. Please punish Lord Sikong!" This was Cao Cao's first meeting after taking Chang'an, and Yan Xing immediately pleaded guilty.

"Yanming, wake up, I can't blame you for this matter. I, Sikong, was negligent, and fell into Ma Chao's tricks. Yanming is credited with escorting Yang Canjun and General Wei to Chang'an. I will not reward or punish you, Sikong!"

"Thank you, Lord Sikong!"

"Feng Xiao, what is the movement of the Xiliang army now?"

"My lord, after the Xiliang army captured Anding, the Xiliang army general Cheng Yin led the Qiang reinforcements to join Ma Chao, and built a military camp on the north bank of the Weishui River, guarding the main ferry."

"Go on!" Cao Cao sighed. Ma Chao really seized the opportunity and immediately occupied the ferry on the north bank of the Wei River, making it difficult for Cao Cao's army to cross the river.

"My lord, according to the reports from the spies around Chen Cang, Chen Cang has also been reinforced by the Xiliang Army, and now no one can enter or leave Chen Cang."

"What Feng Xiao means is that our army has no chance to go west to Tianshui?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Everyone, what do you think?" Cao Cao pressed his temple and sighed helplessly.

"This...?" Wen Wu began to discuss, and Cao Jun's situation is really not easy to reverse now.

Lu Rui looked at the crowd, and began to think in his heart.Ma Chao is definitely a character in the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao admired Liu Bei and praised Sun Quan, but his evaluation of Ma Chao was indeed: the horse is not dead, and I have no place to be buried!The meaning revealed by this sentence is that Cao Cao is afraid of Ma Chao. If Ma Chao is not dead, he will have no place to be buried.

Historically, Ma Chao and Han Sui were at odds. The so-called Han Sui Ma Chao alliance was actually Ma Chao leading the Ma family army against the Cao army in Hebei and the Central Plains. Even with such a gap, Ma Chao still defeated Cao Cao, which shows how powerful Ma Chao used his troops.

Chen Shou's evaluation of Ma Chao is: Han Xin, Peng Yue's generation.It seems that Ma Chao is really Han Xin of the Three Kingdoms. If it is about military strategies, he is probably the number one in the Three Kingdoms.

Now the power of Cao Jun is not as good as that of Cao Jun in history, but the strength of Xiliang Army is stronger than in history. More importantly, Ma Chao's position in Xiliang Army is many times stronger than in history. He is really a formidable enemy!

Lu Rui shook his head in his heart, traveling to the Three Kingdoms by himself, this time is probably the biggest problem he encountered.

"See my lord! General Li Dian has an urgent military situation to submit."

"Oh? Present it quickly!"

"promise!"

Cao Cao glanced at the battle report and was stunned. Tongguan official road was destroyed by Xiliang army, and Yanzhou's military rations could not be transported to Chang'an.

"My Sikong has fought for many years. Only the fierce tiger Lu Bu and Yuan Shao from Hebei made my Sikong fearful. But seeing the horse today, I know that the horse is really a great enemy!" (To be continued...)
