Major General's Journey through the Three Kingdoms

Seeing this, Ma Teng fled back to Xiliang, then raised the banner of attacking Cao Cao, and prepared to go south to Xudu to attack Cao Cao.But later the matter of Yizhao was leaked, and Dong Cheng and others were killed. Fortunately, Liu Bei went to Xuzhou and escaped.Seeing this, Ma Teng had no choice but to give up.

But soon after, Ma Teng learned that his Hanoi County had been captured by Cao Cao.Hearing this, Ma Teng became even more resentful.So Ma Dai was ordered to prepare to attack Cao.At this time, it was heard that Yuan Shao had sent troops to Liyang.Ma Teng knew that the time had come, so he ordered Ma Chao to guard the rear to guard against Han Sui, while he sent troops out of Xiliang.

At this time, Cao Hong, the prefect of Hanoi County, heard that Ma Teng sent troops to Xiliang, so he secretly ordered Han Sui to attack his rear.A few days later, Cao Hong's army and Ma Teng's army were standing a few miles away from Hanoi County.Ma Teng ordered Ma Dai to fight.Seeing this, Cao Hong came out to fight in person. After dozens of rounds, Ma Dai was defeated and returned.Ma Teng had no choice but to withdraw his troops temporarily.

The next day, Zhao Yun went to find Ma Teng.Ma Teng asked Zhao Yun to come and wanted to refuse, but because he was Ma Yunlu's husband, he met him.Ma Teng had always looked down on Zhao Yun's background, and he couldn't make any contribution at this time, so he didn't even want to look at him.

Zhao Yun came to the tent and paid homage to his Master Taishan.Ma Teng asked him what he had come to find himself before.Zhao Yundao: "I heard that my father-in-law led an army to attack Hanoi County, so I came here to find out."

"So you didn't come to help me?" Ma Teng said contemptuously.

"I came here to persuade you to go back." Zhao Yun said.

"What nonsense are you talking about, now is the time to take back Hanoi County, yet you ask me to go back?"

Zhao Yun then explained: "You lead the army out of Xiliang at this time, and Han Sui will definitely steal Fufeng County later." Ma Teng said, how dare Han Sui come here with his son Ma Chao guarding the rear.

Seeing Ma Teng's self-confidence, Zhao Yun said, "Although Ma Teng is brave, he is too quick-tempered. I'm afraid he is no match for Han Sui."

But Ma Teng didn't seem to listen to Zhao Yun's words, and then said: "I have my own measure, you don't need to say any more!" He rejected Zhao Yun's remonstrance, and then invited him out of the barracks.

Zhao Yun was helpless, he didn't want to see the whole of Xiliang fall into Han Sui's hands, so he had to lead his two guards to Xiliang.At this time, Han Sui had already received Cao Hong's secret letter.Han Sui originally wanted to attack Ma Teng's rear, but he was always worried about Ma Chao's bravery, so he didn't dare to rush forward.At this time, Cheng Yinjin remonstrated: "My lord, this is a good time to unify Xiliang, and there is no room for loss!"

"However, Ma Chao's courage is no less than that of Lu Bu, I'm afraid..." Han Sui hesitated.

"Although Ma Chao is brave and foolish, it is nothing to lose!"

"I wonder what plan you have to defeat Ma Chao?" Han Sui asked.

Cheng Yin said: "Now that Ma Teng has taken most of the soldiers and horses away, it is easy to besiege Fufeng County now. Fufeng County is in an emergency, and Ma Teng will return to the army to rescue him. At that time, Cao Hong will attack the rear. , if we divide our troops to encircle Ma Teng, Ma Teng will definitely lose, and Xiliang will be the general's territory by then!"

Han Sui was overjoyed when he heard the words.So [-] troops were raised to attack Ma Chao.Ma Chao heard that Han Sui was coming with his army, so he personally led [-] troops to camp east of the Weihe River, waiting for Han Sui's army to come.

Han Sui came with his army and saw that Ma Chao had already set up camp to fight.So they also camped on the west bank of the Wei River.The two armies faced each other across the bank, and a small bridge was built over the Weihe River.Ma Chao led his army out to fight first, but Han Sui seemed in no hurry to fight Ma Chao.Instead, they used archers to repel Ma Chao.Ma Chao returned to camp, thinking about how to retreat from the enemy.

Suddenly it was reported that Han Sui's general Cheng Yi had come to scold and fight.Ma Chao was annoyed for a while, he had fought by himself just now, but no one came out to fight.Now that they have returned to the camp, they will come to fight.Ma Chao thought about this, so he raised his gun and went out.Hearing Cheng Yi insulting him, Ma Chao galloped out. Cheng Yi saw Ma Chao coming out, so he reined in his horse and went back to the camp.

Ma Chao shouted there for a long time, but none of the enemy troops came out to fight, so Ma Chao returned to camp.However, not long after sitting down, someone came to report that the enemy general came to fight.Ma Chao goes out again, but Cheng Yi leaves again.After doing this three times in a row, Ma Chao finally couldn't bear it, and was furious: "Mr. Han Suipi, I will definitely kill you!" So he led his army to the camp.

However, Han Sui had already ambushed the cavalry near the bridgehead.Now seeing Ma Chao leading the army coming, he rushed out.Ma Chao's army was defeated, so he led his army back to Fufeng County to guard.Han Sui led the army to besiege the city, and while Ma Chao was rectifying the defense equipment, he sent people to Ma Teng for help.However, the envoy was intercepted and killed by Han Sui's army not far from the city gate.Ma Chao stayed on guard for more than ten days, but he still did not see his father leading an army back to rescue him.At this time, he realized that his communication with the outside world was also controlled by Han Sui.Seeing that there is not much food and grass in his city.If this continues, the morale of the army will surely be slackened.At this time, Ma Chao planned to give up Fufeng County.

However, he was dissuaded by Ma Yunlu.It is said that this is the inheritance of the father and should not be given up easily.Ma Chao persisted.The next day, it was suddenly reported that Zhao Yun had come to see Ma Chao.Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu are very happy.So I went to the east gate to meet him in person.At this time, there were not many enemy troops at the east gate, so Zhao Yun rushed into the city casually.

Ma Yunlu saw Zhao Yun coming, so he hugged Zhao Yun's son and plunged into Zhao Yun's arms.Zhao Yun was also very happy to see them.Each hugged.Ma Chao then informed Zhao Yun of the current situation.After Zhao Yun heard the words, he said to Ma Chao: "Nowadays, only a quick battle and a quick decision can have a chance of survival."

Ma Chao said: "Now that the city has been besieged by Han Sui for more than ten days, the city is almost out of food. What can I do?"

"Now if I can drive Han Sui back to the west of the Wei River, I will have a way to drive them back," Zhao Yun said.

Ma Chao thought for a while, and then said: "Now Han Sui knows that we are short of food in the city, and tomorrow we go out to fight them to the death, and Han Sui will definitely retreat!"

Zhao Yundao: "This is the only plan for today!"

Ma Chao heard this, so he went down to reorganize the army and horses, waiting for tomorrow's battle.

The next day, Ma Chao led his army out of the city, and then fought with Han Sui's army.Ma Chao said to the soldiers: "Nowadays there is a shortage of food in the city, and the only way to survive is to rush out."Han Sui saw that the morale of Ma Chao's army was high, and he seemed to be struggling for the last time.As the saying goes, "a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, and a rabbit bites a person in a hurry".Han Sui thought about this, so he had no choice but to retreat to the west of the Weihe River, waiting for Ma Chao's army to chaos without a fight, and then took advantage of the emptiness to attack the city.

At this time, Zhao Yun saw that Han Sui had retreated to the west of the Wei River, so he asked Ma Chao to station east of the Wei River, and Ma Chao followed his advice.That night, Zhao Yun discussed his strategy with Ma Chao.After hearing this, Ma Chao asked Zhao Yun if he wanted to increase his troops to cooperate.Zhao Yun said that his two guards can complete the task.After speaking, he discussed the specific details with Ma Chao, and then went down to make preparations.
