Chapter 173 Chapter 26 Tu Shu Divides Han Sui (9)

Han Sui was surprised and said, "Nephew, don't misunderstand. Could it be that Cao Cao sent the draft by mistake?" Ma Chao said with a sneer, "Cao Cao is such a delicate person, how could he make such a mistake? Besides, with his talent, he must write poems when he climbs a high position, and he is used to reciting poems horizontally. Why do you need to draft a letter in a short letter? Uncle, why bother?" So pretentious? Although I used soldiers to make mistakes, but I stand side by side with my uncle and try my best to kill foreign thieves, how can my uncle suddenly have a different heart?"

Han Sui sighed, and said: "If my nephew must be suspicious of me, and I have indeed proposed to negotiate a peace with Cao Cao, I can't do it. Only tomorrow I will go to the battle to make Cao Cao come out and speak, and you will follow me closely , with the short blade in his arms, and stabbed Cao Cao to death with one blow, only then did he know my heart!" Ma Chao said seriously, "If that's the case, then I will see that uncle is sincere!" On the second day of 167, Han Sui and Ma Chao arrived in front of Cao Cao's camp in light clothes, and saw many generals standing around Cao Cao.Han Sui paid homage to Cao Cao and said: "In response to the prime minister's kindness, I come to have a talk. My nephew Ma Chao has long admired the prime minister's reputation and is eager to pay respects. Han Sui didn't get permission, so he brought him lightly to worship, and I pray for forgiveness."

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao turned a blind eye and listened but did not hear.After a long time, he said: "Since Ma Chao came with me and asked me to catch up on the old days, it would be an eyesore and it would be difficult to speculate. Isn't it boring? I feel quite tired today. General Han might as well go back first and try to get drunk another day. " Han Sui was very embarrassed and at a loss.Ma Chao saw the crowd of heroes around him, knowing whether he could succeed, he let out a "hum" and rushed out of the tent.Han Sui had no choice but to follow. After returning to the camp, Ma Chao was silent. Han Sui paced back and forth in the tent, stopped suddenly, and said, "Cao Cao is really cunning! He came to the camp to reminisce with me, hooked shoulders to each other; he repaired the book for me, and deliberately changed it; When I saw you and I went together, I said that you were there so I wouldn’t reminisce about the old days, all these things, my nephew, aren’t they clearly trying to drive a wedge between us?”

Ma Chao raised his head, thought for a while, and seemed to move. Just at this time, Yang Qiu suddenly broke into the tent and shouted: "Things are not good, Cao Cao just issued a letter of war, and turned his back on the matter of peace!" Both Han Sui and Ma Chao were surprised.After a long while, Ma Chao glared at Han Sui: "Hmph, if Cao Cao is really trying to alienate us, he just waits for you and me to fight each other, so why turn around and fight us hard? What does Uncle have with Cao Cao? Ma Chao has always been loyal, but he can't figure it out!" Han Sui also said angrily: "Tomorrow we will reject Cao Cao together, and you will know whether I, Han Sui, are loyal people!"

Ma Chao sneered and rushed out of the tent. Yang Qiu stood dumbfounded on the spot, unable to make a sound for a while. After a long time, Han Sui let out a long sigh: "Oh, Cao Cao, you want to make our army command inconsistent and be wiped out by you. This move is much more vicious than my internal fight! Cough..." Yang Qiu stood still for a moment, then left the camp to find Ma Chao. In this way, Cao Cao set up this wonderful trap for Ma Chao and Han Sui according to the strategy of Jia Xu, the general staff of the Western Expedition.From then on, Ma Chao and Han Sui were pregnant with each other, and the opinions of the subordinate generals were also different, and each had their own biases. As a result, the Guanzhong Army's formation was full of loopholes and lost the possibility of cooperating with each other.Therefore, Cao Cao saw that the time was ripe, and began a big battle with the Guanzhong Army.

On the first day, Cao Cao saw that the Guanzhong army had no much combat effectiveness under the situation that the various forces were restrained by each other, so he deliberately sent Yu Jin and Le Jin to lead the weaker light cavalry to attack the opponent, only to be defeated but not to win.Guan Zhong's army had no intention of fighting to the death, but seeing that Cao's army was so weak, he relaxed his heart and relaxed his ambition even more.After about an hour, Cao Cao sent elite heavy cavalry, tiger and leopard cavalry, and personal guards, led by generals such as Xu Huang, Xia Houyuan, and Xu Chu.In an instant, the Guanzhong army was defeated, and the two generals Ma Xiu and Li Kan were killed on the spot.But the Lord led Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Han Sui, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu to fight desperately to win the way of life. They each looked west and threw themselves towards Liangzhou.General Cheng Yin also fled to the death and went to Hanzhong to vote for Zhang Lu.

So far, Cao Cao's battle to conquer Kansai has come to the second stage. In the winter of 1680, October came in a blink of an eye. Cao Cao continued his efforts, braved the snow and marched northward, and swung his army into Chang'an City.This is the first time since Dong Zhuo's Rebellion that Chang'an returned to the jurisdiction of the central government.But Cao Cao did not rest here.He thought that the pacification and unification of the entire north can be said to have completed more than 90% so far.But even that seemingly inconspicuous 10% is a defect after all.Therefore, he was unwilling to relax and prepared to continue the northern expedition.

One day, a banquet was scheduled to celebrate Guanzhong, and all civil and military officials chatted and drank freely.When the wine was about to get full, Xia Houyuan shouted: "I won the victory today, and I am drinking and having fun here. Thinking that Ma Chao, Han Sui, Liang Xing, and Yang Qiu will also be drinking at this time, wouldn't it be maddening!" Jia Xu laughed and said, "General Xiahou's words are wrong. The drinking of Ma Chao's generation is very different from that of General Xiahou: they are just using wine to drown their sorrows. Why is the general angry? Could it be that he deliberately raised troops to cut grass and root out the roots?" ..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Huang stood up: "Mr. Jia's expectation is not bad. Just now I told Xia Houyuan that Yang Qiuzhi lived in the north and west of Chang'an. I really can't bear it. Therefore, I want to share with him. Northern Expedition, wipe out the remnants! I wonder if Mr. Jia has any good ideas?" Jia Xu glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Now Yang Qiu is in the north, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Han Sui, and Liang Xing are in the west, Cheng Yin has returned to Zhang Lu, and Yang Qiu is weak in the north, so we can destroy them first. General Xu and Xiahou The general can raise his troops to the north and destroy Yang Qiu."

After listening to the conversation of several people, Cao Cao took it for granted, and said: "Yang Qiu's troubles, Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang's two armies, are enough to settle. My army can rest in Chang'an for a few days before returning to the division. Now it is snowing and cold, Yang Qiu Qiu may not have expected our army to go north in the snow, and I want to personally lead Xiahouyuan and Xu Huang's two troops, and give him a surprise blow." So, a plan was made.All the generals and officials drank freely again until they were drunk. Two days later, Cao Cao personally led Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang, led more than 20,000 troops, and marched northward through the snow.After traveling for a day and a half, we arrived at Anding County where Yang Qiu was based.

Yang Qiu was shocked when he heard the news, and rushed to An Ding's guard Liu Taibu to climb up the city wall and lean on the tower to look.But I saw Cao Cao's army descending into the valley ten miles away from the city gate, the banners were covered with snow, and the armor was like silver. Yang Qiu felt worried.Seeing that Yang Qiu was frowning, Liu Taibu said: "Since ancient times, it has been said that soldiers come to block you, and water comes to cover you. I think Cao Cao's soldiers must be very cold when he is far away. Why don't you and I lead the army while he is not on his feet? Charge and kill, maybe you can make a miracle!" Yang Qiu was silent for a while, then said: "Cao Cao is very resourceful, and Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang who came this time are both brave and formidable. I think about going to you and my camp, and it seems that no one can beat them. At this time, if you charge and kill at this time, you may really achieve extraordinary achievements, but you may also encounter accidents.
