After Xu Huang established himself in Hexi, Cao Cao became more active.
"Prepare the ferry for the army to cross the river."
With a single order, hundreds of thousands of troops moved into action, as fast as the wind.
"The Prime Minister has ordered the army to cross the river!"
With limited ships, Cao Cao¡¯s army began to cross the river in batches.
Two days passed by in a flash, and after most of the army had passed, Cao Hong said: "Prime Minister, you can cross the river."
"What's the rush? I'll take care of the situation." Cao Cao said with high spirits.
Cao Hong felt that this sentence was very domineering, but he always felt that something was wrong. Could it be that the Xiliang rebels were still able to figure out their actions?
The result is really a crow¡¯s mouth.
Ma Dai saw that Cao Cao's army was almost crossing the river, so he quickly sent a signal to Ma Chao.
Thirty thousand Xiliang cavalry were dispatched in an instant!
The sound of horse hooves cannot be concealed.
"Prime Minister, it's bad, the Xiliang cavalry are coming to kill you!"
The general behind Cao Cao, General Jun, stood up and took the initiative to ask for a fight.
"Prime Minister, give it to the general!"
"Okay, as long as you delay for a moment, the army can evacuate." Cao Cao said.
Yu Jin rode out and fought Ma Chao head-on.
"Who is coming?" Ma Chao shouted.
"This is a general under the prime minister's command."
"You're a nobody, you're not worth mentioning. Where is Cao Mengde? Tell me and I will spare your life," Ma Chao said.
"What a loud tone! If you want to hurt the Prime Minister, just step over my body." Yu Jin said.
It is useless to say more, Ma Chao waved his spear and launched an attack.
Yu Jin was not willing to be outdone, and the two horses fought for eight or nine rounds. Yu Jin was sweating profusely and lost to Ma Chao, so he was defeated.
"let me!"
A general rushed out from Cao Cao's army, it was Li Tong.
Li Tong shouted loudly, his marksmanship was like a god, and he fought with Ma Chao for twenty rounds. Ma Chao stabbed the horse with a spear, and he fell off the horse with a whine.
"not good!"
Seeing Li Tong's defeat, Yu Jin secretly sighed at Ma Chao's bravery and killed a carbine at the same time, giving Li Tong a precious opportunity to escape.
Li Tong rolled away regardless of his appearance, and a deputy general rode his horse to meet him and picked him up.
¡°We¡¯ll fight again tomorrow!¡±
Yu Jin dropped a harsh word and ran away as quickly as he had been prepared.
Ma Chao waved his spear, and the Xiliang cavalry swarmed behind him.
"The general is mighty!"
Xiliang¡¯s cavalry were unstoppable, and Cao Cao¡¯s army could no longer resist them.
"If my army hadn't crossed the north bank, how could Ma Mengqi be so arrogant?!" Cao Cao was furious.
"Prime Minister, let's leave quickly!" Cao Hong reminded.
Pang De and Ma Dai rushed into Cao Cao's army and killed them indiscriminately.
"Where is Cao Cao?"
"Who is Cao Cao?"
They are all big soldiers and have never seen Cao Cao at all.
Ma Dai was searching around among the rebels, and suddenly pointed at a place and shouted: "The one in red robe is Cao Cao!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked.
Ma Chao quickly followed the direction Ma Dai pointed and killed countless people along the way.
"Cao Mengde, take your life!"
The soldiers from Xiliang came with such force that Cao Cao took off his red robe in a hurry for fear of being recognized.
Ma Chao fought for a while, but the man in red robe was nowhere to be seen.
"The one with the long beard is Cao Cao!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout.
Ma Chao killed more than a dozen people in a row, but Cao Cao was nowhere to be seen.
Cao Cao was in panic and cut off his long beard with his sword.
A young general from Xiliang witnessed this scene with his own eyes, but he did not have enough force. Cao Cao was heavily protected and he could not kill him. But he told Ma Chao about it.
"The man with the short beard is Cao Cao!" Ma Chao ordered his people to shout everywhere.
When Cao Cao heard this, he quickly pulled off a corner of the flag and covered his neck.
"Prime Minister, come here!" Cao Hong greeted quickly. It turned out that he had already set up the boat.
Cao Cao, who was also a Lianjiazi, jumped onto the boat and hurriedly crossed the river.
¡°Row quickly!¡±
Cao Hong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and ordered the guards around him.
"Hahaha! I am blessed with great fortune, and Ma Mengxiu wants my life!"
Cao Cao lay on the boat, breathing heavily. He never thought that the Xiliang rebels would appear here.
It¡¯s really dangerous!
Ma Chao saw a small boat leaving, and he knew something was wrong, Cao Cao must be on board.
So he galloped on his horse and came to the shore, chasing the boat and shooting arrows all the way.
Suddenly arrows rained down, and Cao Cao was almost killed!
Fortunately, Cao Hong was holding a wooden board to protect Cao Cao.
The guards on the ship were not so lucky and were nailed to the deck.
Cao Hong could only hold the board with one hand and row the boat with the other, out of the range of the bow and arrow. Only then did Cao Cao survive.
How could Ma Chao give up and ordered:
"Abandon your horse and board the ship to pursue Cao Cao!"
God-given opportunity cannot let Cao Cao run away.
However, at this moment, Ding Fei, the captain of Cao Cao's tent, released a large number of cattle and horses on the river bank.
The Xiliang soldiers under Ma Chao were greedy and did not care about taking advantage of the victory to pursue the victory. They all went to catch the running cattle and horses. Ma Chao simply couldn't control the situation.
Cao Cao was finally able to cross the river safely, and the defeated Cao Cao army also escaped with his life.
Seeing that Cao Cao was safe and sound, everyone felt sad and happy, but Cao Cao laughed:
"I almost got killed by a little thief today!"
It¡¯s quite self-deprecating.
"If the Prime Minister survives the catastrophe, he will be blessed later."
"Our army has gained an advantage in this battle. As long as the Prime Minister gives the order, Ma Chao's son will be beheaded sooner or later!"
Cao Cao's army was overjoyed, not at all decadent after defeat.
I have to say that Cao Cao¡¯s words played a very crucial role.
Although they lost this battle, they gained a strategic advantage.
With Xu Huang's army as a bridgehead, they could continue to cross the river, and Hexi would be at their fingertips.
The Xiliang rebels have almost lost their hometown. Why do they want to stay in Chang'an? !
This is also the reason why Ma Chao is extremely angry.
¡°All seized cattle and sheep must be handed over!¡±
"Brother, this may cause dissatisfaction among my subordinates." Ma Dai reminded.
Most of the cavalry under Ma Chao are Qiang people. They are good at riding and shooting, and they are brave in battle, but they are also unruly. If Ma Chao hadn't had enough force, he would certainly not have been able to suppress these people.
If you want to rob them of their spoils now, you will probably fall out, right?
"Hmph! Kill them all and share the meat with the whole army." Ma Chao added.
¡°As a result, those who snatched the cattle and horses will be in mourning. This is punishment.
"However, those who didn't grab it will be grateful to Ma Chao. This is a reward.
Even if some people are dissatisfied, there are still people who speak for Ma Chao. He just happened to win a battle, and even the reward was saved.
It¡¯s a pity that we escaped from Cao Cao!
After finally forcing Cao Cao to this point, he failed at the last step. Ma Chao could not forgive himself.
At the same time, he was also shocked and curious, who is this hermit in Guigu?
If it weren¡¯t for this plan, Ma Chao would not have sent troops rashly.
"There are two things to do next. One is to track down the whereabouts of the Guigu Hermit, and the other is to speed up negotiations with the Huns and get them to send troops as soon as possible."
Liu Ke provided a platform for cooperation between the Xiliang coalition forces and the Huns, but did not interfere much and gave them sufficient autonomy.
