Chapter 174 Chapter 26 Tu Shu Divides Han Sui (10)

"The weather is cold now, and it will be even colder in the future. In the city of Anding, we have plenty of food and grass, and we have a lot of food and clothing. If we don't have a strong wall, we can last for several months; but Cao Cao is far away, and the battle line is long, so there must be a shortage of food and grass. Even if he continues to be escorted from Chang'an, it will take a lot of effort. Besides, the weather will be even colder. If I defend this city to the death, if he can't attack for a long time, his morale will be limited by the weather, and he will definitely retreat.

"Finally, even if he is obsessed with obsession and insists on confronting me, within a few months, we can try to contact the troops of Ma Chao and Han Sui in Liangzhou, Longxi, and Liang Xing in Fengyi County, and urge them to attack Cao Cao. Wouldn't it be better to kill it?" Liu Taibu heard the words and said: "Brother Yang's words are reasonable, but if you don't charge and kill Cao Cao even once, you won't be able to shrink back. I am not reconciled. If you don't go, I will lead the city's defenders and take advantage of Cao Cao. If the position is not stable, kill him for a while." After saying that, he rushed away angrily.

Yang Qiu had no choice but to go out with Tai Bu.When he came out of the city, Tai Bu raised his whip and urged his horse, and went straight to Cao Ying with a knife.But I saw that Cao Jun had already set up his battle formation. One of the soldiers in front of the army was Cao Cao, and the two generals on the left and right were Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang. Cao Cao saw Yang Qiu but didn't know Liu Taibu, so he laughed three times and shouted: "Yang Qiu, the defeated general, the general has lost his power early, but he is doing this useless stubborn resistance! I don't think you are mediocre. , Why don't you seize the opportunity as soon as possible and sacrifice your stability, and you can still avoid the death penalty."

Before Yang Qiu answered, he had already annoyed Liu Taibu next to him.Tai Bu held a knife in one hand and pointed a halberd in the other and scolded: "Old man Cao Cao, you are no match for our army in Kansai. You used despicable tricks to separate our army, and only then did you succeed. You have come to my stable state today, so don't speak out again." Boasting. I will take your dog's head, Liu Taibu, the security guard!" After scolding, the left and right generals, one Zhou Ruozhi and one Fan Kun, went straight to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious, and shouted at Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang: "The boy is rampant, the two generals and I will beheaded immediately, and the hatred in my heart will be eliminated!"

Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang did not wait for Cao Cao to finish speaking, they had already galloped out on two horses, and faced Tai Bu and the other three: Xia Houyuan picked up Liu Taibu, Xu Huang stopped Zhou Ruozhi and Fan Kun.That Zhou Ruozhi wielded a long spear, while Fan Kun danced two short swords, one long and the other short, fighting with Xu Huang's double axes. After more than ten rounds of fighting, Xia Houyuan's supernatural power over there was revealed, and Liu Taibu gradually became timid.Yang Qiuchi had come early and joined the battle with a gun.As a result, it became a situation where the second general of Kansai besieged the first general of Cao Jun.

After more than fifty rounds of fighting, Xu Huang saw it clearly. He blocked Fan Kun's double swords with his left axe, but with his right axe he picked up the long spear handed by Zhou Ruozhi, and then suddenly turned the edge of the blade, from bottom to top, with one ax on the ground. above his chest.Zhou Ruozhi yelled and died under the horse. Seeing this, Fan Kun was out of his wits, and swung his swords wildly to protect the vital parts of his body. However, Xu Huang stepped forward on his horse and knocked down Fan Kun's mount with one axe. Fan Kun fell under the horse; Falling, immediately results.

Over there, Xia Houyuan is the enemy of Liu Taibu and Yang Qiu.The strength of Liu and Yang is beyond the reach of Zhou and Fan.But even so, it was very difficult for the two of them to fight Xia Houyuan together.Suddenly seeing Xu Huang kill Zhou Ruozhi and Fan Kun again, he knew something was wrong, what they thought was only to escape for their lives.So they fought to the death, and Xia Houyuan had no choice but to avoid the front, but when he got a chance, he fled back to the city without waiting for Xu Huangchi to come to help. After this battle, Liu Taibu agreed with Yang Qiu's plan, and ordered the soldiers to prepare rolling wooden arrows at the same time, but when he saw Cao Cao attacking the city, he shot and killed him.

One day, two more letters were revised, one to Ma Chao, Han Sui and Ma Dai, and sent to Liangzhou City in Longxi secretly; one to Liang Xing, and secretly sent to Fengyi County.I only hope that the two places will lead troops to help and attack Cao Cao. In 169, Ma Chao was in a hurry to report stability, but he had no choice but to go to Han Sui's tent again to discuss with him.After Han Sui went through the battle of Weinan, he was quite separated from Ma Chao.Seeing that Yang Qiu was trapped by Cao Cao and sent a letter to ask for help, he wanted to be good at planning, but when he thought of Ma Chao's arbitrariness and suspicion, his heart became cold again.Therefore, it is not enough to think about big plans just to reason about the newly contracted wind-cold disease and feel dizzy.Ma Chao knew that it was actually Han who had a grudge against him, so he didn't say any more.

The next day, Han Sui took the remnants of his troops, resigned from Ma Chao, and went northwest to join the Qiang people.Although Ma Chao was angry, he was also sad for a while. Therefore, Ma Dai and Zhai Zhong, the guard general of Liangzhou, were summoned to discuss the matter of uniting Liang Xing to attack Cao Cao and rescue An Ding. Ma Dai first said: "Now Cao Cao's army is going north alone, and according to the report of the spies, the army has already taken over Xudu. This is a good opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop. I would like to lead the army to attack and avenge myself!"

Zhai Zhong said: "Judging from the current situation of Cao Cao, the three armed forces can indeed put him to death. It's just that Cao Cao has many tricks, and we need to prevent him from deliberately luring me to attack. Moreover, our army is willing to save An Ding, but I don't know Liang Xing is Don’t you also want to send troops? This matter has yet to be decided after these two points have been implemented.” Seeing that what Zhai Zhong said was reasonable, Ma Chao immediately revised a letter and sent Zhai Zhong's deputy general Luo Gang to Feng Yi to contact Liang Xing.

In a few days, Luo Gang returned to Longxi and presented Liang Xing's letter of reply.Ma Chao and Zhai Zhong read it together, and Liang Xing wrote: Guanzhong is in turmoil, and people are dying; Longxi is in danger, and soldiers are dying.Every time I think about Cao thief, I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.It is because God wants to use our hands to eliminate harm for the people to make the Cao bandits alone.My brother is willing to attach to the tail wings of Brother Chao and Brother Zhong, and raise a rebel army together to attack Caocao and help autumn.You can't think about the book, but use your ears to read. After watching it, they are all happy.Luo Gang also said that Liang Xing agreed with Yang Qiu's agreement, and that he and Ma Chao arrived at Anding on November 1st and flanked Cao Cao. Ma Chao and Zhai Zhong naturally agreed.So, actively prepare for the battle, just wait until the end. When Cao Cao saw that Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang defeated the two generals Zhou and Fan, they closed the city and said to Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang: "Ma Chao will not be as reckless as before this time. He will not fight. We Why don't you try attacking the city? If you can't attack, then try another strategy." The two took orders. Sure enough, the walls of Anding were high and the defenders were equipped with more rolling wooden arrows. The soldiers who attacked the city were unable to succeed, but were injured a lot. On the day of 170, Cao Cao left his camp, called two generals Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang, and brought some soldiers with him to go hunting and relax. Several people rode their horses to the west, and when they came to a forest, they saw a row of animal hoofprints on the snow, leading to the forest.Everyone looked closely at its traces and knew it was a green deer. Cao Cao ordered several soldiers to surround the forest, while he, Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang divided into three groups and rode their horses into the forest. Horseshoes stepping on the snow, silently.Cao Cao bowed his waist and bowed his head, giving way to the branches.From time to time, snow fell from the touched branches and hit the body lightly. Going deep for a while, I suddenly saw a yellow shadow.Cao Cao reined in his horse, took out a long arrow from the quiver at his waist, took off his bow, and put it on the string.The yellow shadow moved and was finally fully exposed to Cao Cao's eyes. It was indeed a lean and agile green deer with withered antlers. It seemed that it had detected the enemy's situation. Cao Cao realized that if he set his bow and shot an arrow on a horse, it would most likely be blocked by a tree branch, so he dismounted slowly and quietly.At this time, he saw Xu Huang approaching slowly in the forest on the left, fearing that he would startle Qinglu, he immediately set his arrow again.Unexpectedly, the green deer was quite vigilant, and had already spotted Xu Huang and Cao Cao at the same time, turned its head, flew all four hooves, and ran towards the depths of the forest. Cao Cao saw it clearly, and let go of the arrow, only to hear a "poof", the Qinglu's hind hooves kicked up, and the front hooves gave up, and fell into the snow.Xu Huang applauded loudly, and rushed over with Cao Cao. After a closer look, he saw that the arrow hit the back of Qinglu's neck, and blood spilled out along the shaft of the arrow.Qinglu was still alive, so he opened his eyes and looked at the two of them.
