The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 302 Why not end this quickly?

Cao Zhang's figure at this time was like the King of Hell.
He was invincible and fought his way through the battlefield alone.

The Guanxi rebels were terrified.

Some people shouted for mercy, while others rode away on horseback.

Originally, the aggressive enemy forces were out of control.

Start fleeing in the direction you came from.

At this moment, Cao Zhang had already seen the cavalry led by Zhang He riding towards them.

Sima De and others had already engaged in close combat with these people.

"Kill!" Cao Zhang roared!
Without any hesitation, he began to chase down the lone enemy troops.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

Every time you kill one more person, there is one less enemy.

They will have a better chance of winning.

After shooting the last fleeing rebel off his horse, Cao Zhang slowly put away the bow and arrow in his hand.

After a moment, Sima De rode over and said with a smile:
"They said they were going to capture a few tongues, but they ended up wiping out hundreds of enemy troops."

"If my father-in-law knew about this, you and I would be scolded again."

Cao Zhang laughed when he heard this!
"What a joy! I didn't expect Renda to be so brave!"

Sima De also sighed slightly when he heard this.

But he just reined in his horse, turned west and remained silent.

The Wei River reflecting the moonlight complements the night sky.

The rebel camp there is also close to the Wei River.

They were just following the Wei River, luring the enemy all the way.

Sima De was inspired when he saw this!
"The surface of the Wei River... the ice has not yet melted."

"But when I set out, the rivers in Guannei had already thawed."

"When I crossed the Wei River before, it was shallow and still several feet deep..."

Cao Zhang heard this, but he didn't understand what he meant.

He just nodded and said:
"The Wei River is neither big nor small, so you really have to be careful not to fall into it!"

Sima De just smiled when he heard it.

A plan has gradually emerged in my mind.

Just when Sima De followed Cao Zhang to annihilate a scout team of several hundred people.

The coalition forces composed of Han Sui, Ma Chao and the rebel generals in Guanzhong.

But it was not as smooth as imagined.

When the uprising just started, everyone patted their chests and made promises.

We must advance into Guanzhong, capture Luoyang, and compete for supremacy in the Central Plains!

He looked as if he would not stop until Cao Cao was crushed to ashes.

But when it really came to action, everyone backed off.

Each one looks like a wilted eggplant.

Either they said there was not enough food, or there were thieves causing trouble in their territory.

But we all came from a den of thieves, so why should we be afraid of thieves?

This is clearly a lie and they dare not come to help.

Most people are unsure and are just waiting to see the situation.

Therefore, the only two families, Han and Ma, really brought all their assets over.

In addition, there are several powerful people in Guanzhong such as Liang Xing and Li Kan who are relatively close to Tongguan.

What's even more distressing is that bad news came one after another during the march.

As soon as Shang Yao of Taiyuan made a little movement, he was destroyed by troops led by Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He!
Liu Xiongming from Lantian wanted to launch a surprise attack on Hongnong, but he was ambushed and captured halfway.

Now even Cao Ren's troops stationed in Jianghuai came to support.

In the end, even Cao Cao himself came!

To the east of Tongguan was Cao Cao's army, which numbered nearly 100,000 men.

The Guanxi coalition forces west of Tongguan also had 80,000 to 90,000 troops.

In fact, the two sides are equally strong.

But Ma Chao and Han Sui were local warlords and rebels in name only.

At this time, the family was still being controlled by the imperial court.

We are clearly at a disadvantage in terms of legal principles and morality.

Before Cao Cao came, there was no opportunity to capture Chang'an and Guanzhong.

Now Cao Cao has arrived with the imperial army.

They were even more afraid to start fighting directly.

It seemed that the surprise attack on Guanzhong had turned into a frontal war.

The battles between the Guanzhong rebels and Cao's army became increasingly fierce.

The two sides faced off across Tongguan and began to waste time. At this time, inside the Guanxi coalition camp.

Ma Chao was so angry that he slammed the table and started cursing!
"These cowardly rats don't keep their word!"

"We agreed to unite our forces to fight Cao, but now everyone is hesitating!"

"Are we going to wait for a life-and-death battle between us and Cao Cao?"

Sitting opposite his table was Han Sui.

The two of them now jointly command the central military camp and seem to be two commanders of equal status.

However, compared with Ma Chao, Han Sui seems much calmer.

After all, they are all half-buried people and have experienced a lot.

You can also see more clearly into the fickleness of personal relationships.

Seeing Ma Chao so angry, he couldn't help but say:

"Don't be angry, nephew. The troops are all far away from each other."

"It is naturally difficult for the coalition forces to gather together in a short period of time."

"But now that we have formed an alliance, why wouldn't they come?"

"They were just temporarily frightened by Cao Cao's momentum and did not dare to act rashly."

"As long as we hold Tongguan, we can dampen the morale of Cao's army."

"When they see Cao Cao, he is just a paper tiger."

"They will naturally come one by one."

“Our team has naturally grown.”

Ma Chao heard this with a gloomy face and said:

"Cao Cao certainly can't pass Tongguan, but we can't defeat him either."

"If this stalemate continues, when will it end?"

"But Cao Cao has the entire northern Central Plains to rely on!"

"But we gritted our teeth and brought all the money and food from our homes over here."

"What if by then, all the food in hand is eaten up."

"That's a situation where they will collapse without fighting!"

"If it's up to me, send your best soldiers to challenge Cao's camp."

"Give that thief Cao a warning!"

He obviously didn't agree to let it drag on any longer.

"General Ma, what you said is wrong!"

"Whether to fight or not is not up to us to decide."

I saw Cheng Gongying sitting aside, fiddling with a horsewhip in his hand.

There were few people in the Guanxi coalition who were capable of writing and strategizing.

He regarded Cheng Gongying as a poor scholar who was well-educated and knowledgeable.

He became the chief military advisor of the Guanxi coalition forces.

At this time, he explained calmly:
"Guanzhong has been in chaos for so many years. The city walls are dilapidated and people's lives are in decline."

"Now there is no place to defend, even Chang'an is not suitable for stationing troops."

"On the other hand, Cao Cao has been operating east of Tongguan for many years."

"Zhong Yao and Wei Ji have been guarding Hongnong for a long time."

"It's easy for them to attack us, but it's hard for us to capture them."

Ma Chaoyue became more and more anxious after listening to this!
"In that case, why not end this quickly?!"

Cheng Gongying was not in a hurry when he heard this:

"Don't worry, General. Cao Cao has dug deep trenches and built high walls."

"Although it is disadvantageous to our coalition forces, it will not last long on its own."

"Don't forget, he has Sun Quan and Liu Bei to the south."

“It’s like there are two tigers squatting next to you.”

"As time goes by, Jingzhou will definitely change."

"We just need to hold Tongguan and hold Cao Cao here."

"It made it so that he couldn't get in and couldn't win."

"Once a fire breaks out in the backyard, we will rush back to provide assistance."

"When the time comes, we will seize the opportunity to pursue them and will surely be able to defeat their forces in one fell swoop."

"As long as we win the battle."

"Other troops will surely come here upon hearing the news."

"If this is the case, the area west of Luoyang will be easily captured."

"We can even use this momentum to march into Xudu!"
