Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 540: Disharmony, Opportunity!
In front of the Han army camp, Ma Chao's horse was chasing Cao Pi's horse, still mumbling the same old words.

"Cao Pi!"

"Come and die quickly!"

"Ma Chao is here!"

Cao Pi heard Ma Chao shouting like that, but he had never thought his voice was so beautiful!

He immediately shouted, "Hurry! Go to the assigned place!"

Cao Pi was a little anxious, but if he wanted to prevent Ma Chao from falling into his trap, he must not be anxious.

Gao Tanglong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty... let's fight first, don't be impatient!"

"We need to fight a battle, let that horse Chaoyue beat Yue impatiently first."

Cao Pi felt that Gao Tanglong was indeed a good person.

If it weren't for his advice, he would not have withdrawn his troops.

If we don’t withdraw our troops, how can Ma Chao succeed?
At that moment, Ye Nayan said, "That's right, let's kill him first!"

After saying this, he turned around and led his troops to engage the enemy.

But after fighting for only a short while, they heard the sound of retreating troops from the camp.

This sound should have made Cao Pi happy, as it meant that the enemy had at least been repelled.

But now Cao Pi couldn't be happy at all when he heard it. If Ma Chao heard this voice and ran away, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
Without time to think, Cao Pi hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops, and lure Ma Chao to chase!"

Therefore, it was strange that both sides retreated at the same time at this moment.

Ma Chao remembered Xing Daorong's instructions very well that he could only retreat after the third horn sounded. This was only the first sound, so he naturally would not leave.

Besides, Cao Pi had been killed and escaped by himself, so this was a good opportunity to give chase!

He ignored everything and headed straight for Cao Pi's flag.

He even shouted, "My men, ignore the sound of the horn, and continue to fight with me!"

Cao Pi was very happy to see that Ma Chao had no intention of retreating!

He ran even faster, fearing that something unexpected would happen and cause Ma Chao to give up halfway.

Obviously, if Cao Pi wanted Ma Chao to pursue further, Xing Daorong could not let Ma Chao pursue further.

Therefore, the second gong sounded soon!

This sound may not sound good to others, but to Cao Pi, it was like a death warrant.

He was afraid that Ma Chao would be recalled and could not wait any longer.

But he shouted: "Hurry! Run faster!"

"Ma Chao is so powerful, we can't defeat him, let's run away!"

Just doing this made the Cao family soldiers a little confused.

It’s true that Cao Pi wanted to lure the enemy deep into our territory, but Cao’s soldiers didn’t know that!

Seeing that His Majesty was thrown into disarray by Ma Chao's troops, he must have had a thought in his mind: why is his own army so vulnerable and so easily collapsed at the first blow?

It is normal for ordinary soldiers to have these thoughts because they are confused about the situation.

But Cao Pi didn't care about all this and was only determined to trick Ma Chao into a trap.

Even Ma Chao felt something was wrong.

Cao Pi collapsed at the first touch and retreated in a hurry. It was obvious that there was a trap!
Under Xing Daorong's constant indoctrination, Ma Chao himself knew that there was a problem. Cao Pi was running so fast that he really couldn't catch up with him. He could only wait for the third sound of the horn.

result…

We are waiting for the third bell to ring... but we can't wait any longer!
He didn't know how far they had charged. When Ma Chao felt that he could hardly hear the horn from the camp, the third horn sounded!
"For the third time, we must withdraw our troops!"

There is no joking in the army, and Ma Chao does have some tactical qualities.

But after three times of acting, if Ma Chao still didn't know what was going on, then he was too stupid. Wasn't this just to deceive Cao Pi?
He cooperated with the performance for a while, then stopped and shouted in anger: "General, you have misled me!"

"Cao Pi's army is already in a state of collapse. It's time to kill him!"

"Now the three gongs have sounded, and I have no choice but to return!"

“How hateful!”

He looked up to the sky and cried out like this, causing those who were watching to sigh.

The horse's voice was as loud as a bell, and it called out to the sky. Even Cao Pi, who was standing in front of him, could hear it.

When Cao Pi heard this, he cried out in his heart, "Oh no!"
Ma Chao is leaving!

Just when it was about to succeed, Ma Chao gave up at the critical moment. Cao Pi was extremely depressed.

I really want to curse Ma Chao in my heart!
Who cares whether it’s time to call off the battle or not? If you see a chance, just go for it!

But he couldn't say these words. He could only slow down his pace, thinking that Ma Chao was watching him. Maybe he would still ignore the sound of the horn in the camp as he did before!

It’s a pity... after these three blasts, Ma Chao would not chase him anymore unless he saw Cao Pi right in front of his silver spear.

Even though he saw Cao Pi not far in front of him, Ma Chao knew that despite the short distance, he would never be able to catch up with him.

Want to kill him... today is not the best opportunity!

Therefore, even though Ma Chao had a strong desire to kill, he could only continue to endure it.

But he said: "The general has caused me such a great loss. If I cannot kill Cao Pi in the future, I will definitely make him give an explanation!"

After leaving behind these thought-provoking words, Ma Chao led his troops back to the camp. No matter how slowly Cao Pi walked, he did not care and just returned to the camp.

Cao Pi was extremely angry, but he was really helpless.

I can't turn back now.

This retreat and attack could easily lead to real problems!
Seeing that the plan ultimately failed, he had no choice but to go back and make another plan.

...

Returning to the camp, Cao Pi went through the ups and downs of the day, and in the end, he felt a sense of pity and boredom.

It seems that Ma Chao has taken the bait!
But they retreated just because of the sound of three battle horns. How could Cao Pi not be annoyed?

It's extremely boring!
But he didn't look very happy, while the man next to him looked quite happy.

Cao Pi felt uncomfortable watching this, and said coldly: "My dear Lord, what are you so happy about? Do you think the plan has worked?"

There was something sinister in Cao Pi's words, how could Gao Tanglong not hear it?

but…

He really has something happy!
But he said, "Your Majesty, although this plan failed, did you listen to what Ma Chao said?"

"He said that Xing Daorong had caused him great trouble! He must have hated him so much!"

"Your Majesty! Although our plan was not completely successful this time, it definitely made Ma Chao think that he could kill his enemy with his own hands. If Xing Daorong had not sounded the horn to call back the troops three times, he would have definitely pursued further."

Cao Pi became more depressed as he listened.

It is extremely depressing to feel that a good opportunity is right in front of you but it flies away.

However, Gao Tanglong's later words made him suddenly enlightened, and all the depression he had before was swept away in an instant!

But he said: "Your Majesty, after this battle, there are two things that can be confirmed."

"First, if there is another chance, Ma Chao will disregard military orders and come after us. There will be more tricks to lure the enemy!"

"Second, Ma Chao was punished before, and he did not listen to the sound of the horn twice this time."

"It can be seen that...the two of them will definitely not get along with each other!"

"In this way, we can use spies to alienate the two of them and defeat them one by one!"
