Chapter 1302 Tongguan Emergency

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

Ma Chao asked to come in.

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

Ma Chao then informed Han Sui of his decision.

Han Sui hesitated and said: "After the little girl Han Qi came back from Yedu, she said that Yuan Xi was honest and honest, and she didn't look like such a vicious and cruel person. Is my nephew making a mistake?"

Han Qi on the side is actually Camille, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

Ma Chao knelt down and said, "If my uncle is afraid of Yuan Xi's power and wants to submit to Yuan Xi, please behead the head of my nephew and present it to Yedu as a step up!"

Han Sui hurriedly helped Ma Chao up and said, "Your father and I are brothers. You are just like my son. How could I do such a thing?"

Ma Chao stood up and said, "If uncle believes in me, please join me in entering Yedu."

In fact, it's no wonder that Ma Chao believed in Jian Yong's words.

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

For Bai Xiaowen, if he wants to unify the world, he must attack the south, and Xiliang is indeed a border problem. Even if the Xiliang army sent a concubine Matthew as a "proton", it was only a superficial surrender, and it did not mean an actual surrender, and there was still a possibility of turning his face.

At this time, Ma Chao's reputation was not yet obvious, and most of the prestige of the Xiliang army in the Central Plains was on Ma Teng, so it was a normal idea to murder Ma Teng and take the opportunity to seize Xiliang.

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

Just like fortune-telling tricks, if one or two things are confirmed by a fortune-teller, most people will think that this gentleman is capable, and they will believe half or eight of what he said later.

What's more, when Jian Yong judged that something happened to Ma Teng, it was not just a fortune-telling, but a reasonable prediction based on the facts and reasoning, so the credibility was even higher.

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

Han Sui was still hesitating.

Ma Chao frowned and said, "Think of Yuan Xi, who is only as old as me, who can run thousands of miles to destroy Xudu, destroy Cao Cao in the face of danger; hold the emperor hostage, and hold the power of the world.

"The Yuan family has just destroyed Cao, and its vitality has been greatly damaged. Our Xiliang army is extremely elite, and now we have captured Chang'an. This is a golden opportunity! Uncle also knows the skills of my nephew. As a man, I should replace Yuan Xi !"

Seeing Ma Chao's resolute attitude, Han Sui could only nod in agreement.

Ma Chao then ordered Ma Xiu to help the coffin and return to Xiliang for burial. He and Han Sui gathered troops and marched to Tongguan!

...

Tongguan and Xiliang's armed forces are all white-robed and white-armored, and there are many flags, giving off a chilling aura.

Standing on the top of the city was Cao Ren, and beside him stood a group of generals, including Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi.

In fact, the task of Qiao Rui and the others is to check whether there are any awakened people lurking in Tongguan.

Of course, in Cao Ren's eyes, there was a taste of "the emperor supervising the army" in it, so he couldn't say he had any good looks towards Qiao Rui.

The Xiliang army scolded under the city.

Cao Ren said: "If you don't even fight a battle, but stick to the city, it will demoralize our army, and let the Xiliang army underestimate the heroes of the Central Plains. Besides, the Xiliang army has come from afar, and the camp has not yet been established. It is time to fight One game, kill their prestige!"

When Li Shuyi heard it, oh, it's over.

Now Ma Chao has a revenge buff. In Cao Cao's first battle, he was beaten because he underestimated the enemy. No matter how strong you Cao Ren is, how strong is Cao Cao?

However, Li Shuyi did not stop her. This is also Bai Xiaowen's special order. Cao Ren was originally a surrendered general, and he is psychologically sensitive. If Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi continue to dictate his decision, the rift will inevitably expand.

Just after Cao Ren switched the switch to meet the enemy, Qiao Rui ordered all the crossbowmen to be dispatched to stand guard on the city wall.

Ma Chao was born with "a face like powder, lips like vermilion, slender waist and broad shoulders, and a powerful voice", wearing a white robe and silver armor, holding a spear in his hand, majestic, pointing at Cao Ren and cursing: "Come and report to me." Name, the nameless ghost who will never die under the gun of grandpa!"

Cao Ren shouted, "Who will capture Ma Chao with me?"

One of the generals rushed out, it was Niu Jin, the brave general, who used a big sword to face Ma Chao.

In history, Niu Jin was also a fierce general, but unfortunately his popularity was not high, and his strength in the Three Kingdoms plane was not strong, and he had a serious bias. He was a purely powerful general with low agility.

Ma Chao saw Niu Jin's weakness in his slow movements as soon as he met him. After a hard knock, the second shot pierced Niu Jin's throat like a flash of lightning.

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

Ma Chao yelled: "The thief will leave!" He rode his horse and chased after him. Seeing that he was about to catch up, another general of Cao Ren's subordinates rushed up, and it was Zhu Ling, who used a horse-cutting sword to stop Ma Chao.

Ma Chao raised his might and stabbed Zhu Ling down with a single shot. The morale of the soldiers under Cao Ren's command plummeted. Ma Chao waved his gun and pointed, and the Xiliang army came up to cover up and kill him.

Only then did Cao Ren realize how powerful Ma Chao was, and quickly ordered Ming Jin to return to the pass.

He restrained the sergeant to retreat first, and he rode forward, guarding the closed gate, and was the last to enter.

Fortunately, there are archers on the top of the city, ready to shoot all the arrows. As cavalry, the Xiliang Army did not set up camps and transport siege equipment, so it was difficult to attack the city, so they had to retreat temporarily.

After Cao Ren returned to the customs, he heard that Qiao Rui, the lord's cronies, had prepared the crossbowmen in advance, and thanked him, "If it wasn't for General Qiao, I would have almost lost Tongguan!"

Qiao Rui didn't take credit for it, and her attitude was gentle: "The general is responsible for guarding the gate, and the general is only doing his best to help. To guard the gate, the general needs to coordinate the overall situation."

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

He immediately ordered: "Most of the Xiliang army's elite are cavalry, and it is not easy to attack the city. Tongguan is dangerous, and it only needs to be deep and solid to avoid the battle."

Speaking of this, Cao Ren said to Qiao Rui: "I still need to write a letter to the lord as soon as possible, and ask to send troops to help."

Qiao Rui said: "We have already reported to the lord. Within a few days, the lord will definitely arrive with soldiers."

Cao Ren felt relieved, so he went to inspect the city defenses, but he didn't mention it.

...

Bai Xiaowen, who was far away in Yedu, received the letter from the raven messenger and said to Cecilia with a smile: "The raven messenger from Shenting is really convenient and fast. It only took two hours for Ma Chao to gather troops and attack Tongguan. I've already received an emergency report."

Bai Xiaowen then charged the Raven Messenger with power points, wrote a reply letter, put it back, and ordered the account to be raised for discussion.

In Da Sima Mansion, all civil and military officials have arrived. Compared with before, Xun You and others have been added to the civil servants, and Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Le Jin and other generals have been added to the military generals. Together with the original Yuan family generals, it really is a crowd.
