Chapter 1304

Ma Chao was in grief when someone reported that Han Sui's father and daughter had arrived.

Ma Chao asked you to come in.

In the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Han Sui and Ma Teng are sworn brothers with deep feelings. Seeing Ma Teng's coffin, Han Sui was also sad, and his tears wet his clothes.

Ma Chao informed Han Sui of his decision.

Han Sui hesitated and said, "after Han Qi came back from yedU, she said that Yuan Xi was magnanimous and didn't look like such a cruel and vicious man. Did you make a mistake?"

Han Qi on one side - actually Camille, nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Ma Chao knelt down and said, "if my uncle is afraid of Yuan Xi's power and wants to obey Yuan Xi, please cut off my nephew's head and give it to Ye Du as a step forward!"

Han then hurriedly picked up Ma Chao and said, "your father and I are brothers. You are just like my son. How can I do such a thing?"

Ma Chao got up and said, "if Uncle believes me, please join me in the yedU."

In fact, no wonder Ma Chao believes in Jian Yong's words.

On the one hand, Bai Xiaowen did have the "interest motive" to murder Ma Teng.

For Bai Xiaowen, if he wants to unify the world, he is bound to attack the south, and Xiliang is indeed a border disease. Even if the Xiliang army sent a concubine Ma Xiu as a "proton", it was only a superficial surrender, which did not mean actual surrender. It was still possible to turn over.

At this time, Ma Chao's reputation is not significant. Most of the prestige of the Xiliang army in the Central Plains lies in Ma Teng, so it is a normal idea to murder Ma Teng and seize Xiliang.

On the other hand, Jian Yong's "prediction" has been verified.

Just like fortune teller deception, if a fortune teller says one or two things correctly, most people will think that this gentleman is good and believe what he says later.

What's more, Jian Yong's judgment of Ma Teng's accident is not a mysterious fortune teller, but a reasonable prediction of facts and reason, which is more reliable.

Ma Chao is not a resourceful person, and Jian Yong is very good at lobbying, so it's not surprising to have such a result.

Han Sui is still hesitating.

Ma Chao frowned and said, "if you think of Yuan Xi, you are just as old as me. You can rush thousands of miles to break Xudu, not destroy Cao Cao in the face of danger, and hold the son of heaven and take power in the world.

"The yuan family has just destroyed Cao and greatly damaged their vitality. Our Xiliang army is extremely elite. Now it's a good opportunity to seize Chang'an again! My uncle knows my nephew's skills. As a great husband, I should take Yuan Xi instead!"

Han Sui saw Ma Chao's resolute attitude, so he could only nod and agree.

Ma Chao then ordered Ma Xiu to hold the coffin and return to Xiliang for burial. He and Han then gathered troops and horses and headed for Tongguan!

……

The three armies in Tongguan and Xiliang are full of white robes and armours, and there are many flags, with an atmosphere of killing.

On the top of the city stood Cao Ren, next to a group of generals, including Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi.

In fact, Qiao Rui's task is to check whether there are potential awakeners in Tongguan.

Of course, in Cao Ren's eyes, there is a bit of the smell of "the son of heaven supervising the army", so there is no good face for Qiao Rui.

The Xiliang army cursed at the foot of the city.

Cao Ren said, "if we don't fight even a war, we will defend the city. It will demoralize our army, but let the Xiliang army underestimate the heroes of nakhara. Moreover, the Xiliang army has come all the way and the camp has not been established. It's time to fight and kill them!"

As soon as Li Shuyi heard it, oh, it's over.

Now Ma Chao has a revenge buff. At the beginning, Cao Cao's first war was because he despised the enemy and was beaten. No matter how strong Cao Ren is, how strong Cao Cao is?

However, Li Shuyi didn't stop it. This was also Bai Xiaowen's special order. Cao Ren was originally a demobilized general and was psychologically sensitive. If Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi were to dictate his decision again, it would inevitably lead to the expansion of the crack.

Just after Cao Ren met the enemy, Qiao Rui ordered all the crossbow men to be on guard above the city wall.

Ma Chaosheng had a "pink face, red lips, thin waist, wide arms and strong voice". He was wearing a white robe and silver armor and holding a long gun. He was majestic. He pointed to Cao Ren and scolded, "come and report your name. Grandpa, an unknown ghost under the gun!"

Cao Ren shouted, "who captured Ma Chao with me?"

One of the generals rushed out. He was a valiant general, Niu Jin, who used a big knife to fight Ma Chao.

In history, Niu Jin was also a strong general. Unfortunately, his popularity was not high, his strength in the Three Kingdoms was not strong, and his branch was serious. He was a pure power general with low agility.

Ma Chao saw Niu Jin's weakness of slow action. After a hard shot, the second shot was like lightning and stone fire, which stabbed his throat.

Niu Jin quickly lowered his head, his helmet was picked down by Ma Chao, and he lost the array in two rounds.

Ma Chao shouted, "the thief will leave!" he ran after him. Seeing that he was about to catch up, another general under Cao Ren rushed up. It was Zhu Ling who cut the horse with a long knife and stopped Ma Chao.

Ma Chao rose up and stabbed Zhu Ling down with one shot. The morale of Cao Ren's soldiers was greatly demoralized. Ma Chao waved his gun and the Xiliang army covered up.

Cao Ren knew Ma Chao's power and quickly ordered Mingjin to return to the pass.

He restrained the sergeant to retreat first, rode in front of him, guarded the door and entered the customs last.

Fortunately, bow and crossbow men were ready at the head of the city, and all arrows were fired at once. As a cavalry, the Xiliang army did not set up a camp and carry siege equipment. If it was not easy to attack the city, it had to retreat temporarily.

After Cao Ren returned to the pass, it was said that Qiao Rui, the confidant of the Lord, had prepared the crossbow hand in advance, bowed his hand and thanked him: "if it weren't for general Qiao, he would almost have lost Tongguan!"

Qiao Rui did not take credit and had a gentle attitude: "the general is responsible for guarding the pass. The last general will just do his best to help. To defend the pass, the general needs to coordinate the overall situation."

Cao Ren took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I will live up to the Lord's trust!"

He immediately ordered, "most of the elite of the Xiliang army are cavalry, so it's not easy to attack the city. Tongguan is dangerous, so you just need to stay in deep trenches and avoid war."

Speaking of this, Cao Ren said to Qiao Rui, "we still need to write to the Lord as soon as possible and ask for troops to help."

Qiao Rui said, "we have informed the Lord. In a few days, the Lord will bring the soldiers."

As soon as Cao Ren was relieved, he went to inspect the urban defense and stuck to it.

……

Bai Xiaowen, who was far away in yedU, received a letter from the Raven messenger and said to Cecilia with a smile, "the Raven messenger of the divine court is really convenient and fast. It took only two hours for Ma Chao to assemble his troops to attack Tongguan."

Bai Xiaowen then filled the Raven messenger with power points, wrote a reply, put it back, and ordered a promotion.

Qi Zhi, a civil and military official in the grand Sima mansion, added Xun you and others to the civil officials, and Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and Le Jin to the military generals. Together with the original yuan generals, they really gathered together.
