 Chapter 58 of the main text: Ma Mengqi raises his army to avenge Cao Amun, cutting off his beard and abandoning his robe

------------------------

But the person who offered advice was Chen Qun, a censor in charge of managing books, with the courtesy name Changwen. Cao asked, "What good strategies does Chen Changwen have?" The group replied, "Now Liu

Bei and Sun Quan are like lips and teeth. If Liu Bei wants to take Xichuan, the Prime Minister can order the generals to raise troops, gather the troops of Fei, and directly take Jiangnan, then Sun Quan

We must seek help from Liu Bei; Be prepared for Xichuan, but have no intention of saving power; Without salvation, power will be depleted and troops will be weakened. The land of Jiangdong will surely be obtained by the Prime Minister.

If we have Jiangdong, then Jingzhou can be flattened with just one drum; Jingzhou is now flat, and then Xu Tu from Xichuan: The world is settled. ”Cao said, "The words of Changwen

That's exactly what I meant. ”Immediately raise 300000 soldiers and march down to Jiangnan; Order He Fei Zhang Liao to prepare food and forage for supply.

Long ago, there were detailed reports to inform Sun Quan. The gathering of power will discuss. Zhang Zhao said, "You can send someone to Lu Zijing's place to urgently send a letter to Jingzhou and send it to Xuan

De Tongli refused Cao. Zijing is grateful to Xuande, and his words will be followed; And Xuande is not only the son-in-law of Eastern Wu, but also duty bound. If Xuande comes to the scene

Help. Jiangnan is not at risk. ”Quan followed his words and sent someone to instruct Lu Su to seek help from Xuande. Su Ling ordered and immediately repaired the book to have someone deliver it

Xuande, after reading the meaning in the book, left the envoy at the embassy and sent someone to Nanjun to invite Kong Ming. Kong Ming arrived in Jingzhou, and General Lu Su of Xuande wrote to him

After reading with Kong Ming, he said, "There is no need to move the troops of Jiangnan or Jingzhou, so Cao Cao dare not look straight at the southeast.

”He replied to Lu Su and instructed Gao to rest assured that if there were any northern troops invading, the imperial uncle would have his own plan to retreat. The messenger has gone. Xuande asked

Today, we will mobilize a 300000 strong army to gather the people of Fei and come in one wave. What clever plan does the master have to retreat? "Kong Ming said“

Those who worry about their lives are the soldiers of Xiliang. If we kill Ma Teng today, his son Ma Chao will lead the people of Xiliang, and he will gnash his teeth and rebel. The lord can

Write a book, go to Jiema Chao, and have Chao raise troops to enter the pass, then why bother going to Jiangnan? ”Xuande was overjoyed and immediately wrote a book, sending his whole heart out

Abdominal man, cast his troops towards Xiliangzhou.

But Ma Chao was in Xiliangzhou and had a dream at night: he dreamed of lying in the snow and being bitten by a group of tigers. Startled and fearful, with doubts in my heart, I gathered under the tent to gather

Zuo, tell me about the dream. The person under the tent responded and said, "This dream is an ominous omen." Everyone looked at him and he was the trusted lieutenant in front of the tent

My surname is Pang, my given name is De, and my courtesy name is Lingming. Chao asked, "What did Ling Ming see?" De replied, "Encountering a tiger in the snow is a very bad omen. Is it old

Is the general doing anything in Xuchang? ”Before finishing his words, a person stumbled in and cried and bowed to the ground, saying, "Uncle and brother are both dead

Yes, it's Madai. What's the point of being shocked. Dai said, "Uncle and the attendant Huang Kui both murdered Cao. Unfortunately, the matter was exposed and they were both executed in the city

My younger brother was also killed. Wei Dai disguised himself as a merchant and walked away at night. Upon hearing these words, Chao collapsed in tears. The crowd will be rescued. Super gritted teeth, hate fucking

Thief. Suddenly reporting that Liu Huangshu from Jingzhou had sent someone to write a letter. Super dismantled view. The book briefly states: "Fu Nian was unlucky in the Han dynasty, wielding the power of a thief and deceiving the ruler

Up, the people are withered. Bei Xi and Ling Xianjun both received a secret edict, swearing to execute this thief. Now that the late lord has been harmed by the abuse, this general does not share heaven and earth

Hatred between different sun and moon. If we can lead the army of Xiliang to attack the right side of Cao and prepare to raise the troops of Jingxiang to contain Cao's advance, then we can go against Cao

Capture, traitors can be eliminated, hatred and humiliation can be avenged, and the Han dynasty can thrive. The book is incomplete, waiting for a response. ”

Ma Chao finished reading and immediately wrote back with a tearful expression, sending an envoy to return first. Then he got up with the horses of the Western Liang army and was about to advance when suddenly the Governor of Western Liang, Han Sui, sent an envoy

Please go see Ma Chao. Upon arriving at Suifu, Cao Cao sent a letter to inform him. Neiyun: "If Ma Chao is captured and sent to Xudu, you will be granted the title of Xiliang

Hou. ”Chao prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Uncle, please tie up my two brothers and send them to Xuchang to spare Uncle's spear and spear labor." Han then helped him up

He said, "I have become brothers with your father. Can you bear to harm you? If you raise an army, I will help you." Ma Chao thanked him.

Han Sui then pushed the envoy out and beheaded him, and then ordered his eight troops to march together. That eight? Naihou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan

Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu. Eight generals followed Han Sui, along with Pang De and Ma Dai, subordinates of He Ma Chao, to raise a total of 200000

Soldiers, come to Chang'an to kill.

Zhong Yao, the governor of Chang'an County, flew to report to Cao Cao; On one hand, lead the army to resist the enemy and deploy in the field. Ma Dai, the vanguard of the front of Xiliang Prefecture, led 15000 troops

Coming from all over the mountains and fields in a grand and mighty manner. Zhong Yao answered the question on horseback. Dai wielded his precious sword and engaged in battle with Yao. Without unity, Yao suffered a major defeat and fled

Let's go. Daiti Dao rushed over. Ma Chao and Han Sui led their armies to surround Chang'an. Zhong Yao is guarding the upper city. Chang'an was the capital of the Western Han Dynasty

The city walls are sturdy. The trench is dangerous and deep, and it cannot be attacked urgently. We surrounded for ten days in a row but couldn't break through. Pang De calculated, 'Chang'an City.'

Middle earth is hard and alkaline, extremely inedible, and also lacks firewood. For ten days now, there is a famine among the military and civilians. It's better to temporarily withdraw the army, just like this,

Chang'an is within reach. ”Ma Chao said, "This plan is great!" Immediately, he sent the banner with the word "order" to all the troops, urging them to retreat. Ma Chao personally

After self interruption. The various troops gradually retreated. When Zhong Yao climbed up to the city the next day to see, his army had all retreated, fearing that he had a plan; Impressive, indeed far away

Go, just now you can rest assured. The military and civilians were ordered to go out of the city to gather firewood and water, open the city gates wide, and allow people to enter and exit. On the fifth day, it was reported that Ma Chaobing had arrived again

The military and civilians rushed into the city, but Zhong Yao still closed the city and held on.

But it was said that Zhong Jin, the younger brother of Zhong Yao, was guarding the west gate. About three shifts away, a fire broke out inside the city gate. When Zhong Jin came to rescue urgently, a person turned around from the outskirts of the city,

Lifting his sword and riding on horseback, he shouted loudly, "Pang De is here!" Zhong Jin was caught off guard and was executed by Pang De with one strike, scattering the military academy and cutting off the checkpoint

Lock, let Ma Chao and Han Sui's troops enter the city. Zhong Yao abandoned the city from the east gate and left. Ma Chao and Han Sui won the city and rewarded the labor of the three armies.

Zhong Yao retreated to Tongguan and flew to report to Cao Cao. Cao Zhi lost Chang'an and dared not reconsider the southern expedition, so he called on Cao Hong and Xu Huang to split the payment: 'Take one first.'

Ten thousand troops, guard Tongguan tightly for Zhong Yao. If a pass is lost within ten days, all will be executed; Ten days later, I won't do anything to you two. I lead the army

Then it arrived. ”The two of them have received orders, and Starry Night is enough. Cao Renjian said, "Hong has a restless nature and sincerely fears causing trouble." Cao replied, "You and

I escorted the food and supplies, and then received them. ”

But Cao Hong and Xu Huang went to Tongguan to defend the pass for Zhong Yao and did not go to war. Ma Chao led his army to capture and curse Cao Cao for three generations.

Cao Hong was furious and wanted to raise troops to fight in the pass. Xu Huangjian said, "This is Ma Chao's intention to incite the general army to fight, and we must not engage in battle. Please wait for the Prime Minister's approval

When the army comes, there must be a master painter. ”Ma Chaojun took turns cursing day and night. Cao Hong only needs to fight, while Xu Huang struggles to stop him. On the ninth day, at the customs

When looking up, the Western Liang army abandoned their horses and sat on the grassland in front of the pass; Most of them are tired and sleep on the ground. Cao Hong taught to prepare horses and lit them up

Three thousand soldiers have come to kill Xiaguan. The soldiers of Xiliang abandoned their horses and swords and left. Hong Yiyi chased after him. At that time, Xu Huang was closing the sight grain truck when he heard that Cao Hong had descended

Guan fought fiercely and was shocked. He quickly led his troops and rushed over, shouting for Cao Hong to return to his horse. Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind, and Ma Dai led his army to kill them. Cao Hong

When Xu Huang hurriedly returned, a drum sounded and two armies intercepted from behind the mountain: Ma Chao on the left and Pang De on the right, killing each other for a while. Cao Hong resisted

Unable to hold on, the majority of the troops broke through the encirclement and rushed to the gate. The soldiers of Xiliang arrived later, and Hong and others abandoned the pass and left. Pang De chased after Tongguan directly

Encountered the horses of Cao Ren's army and saved the army of Cao Hong and others. Ma Chao assisted Pang De in passing the checkpoint.

Cao Hong lost Tongguan. Run to see Cao Cao. Cao said, "With your ten day deadline, how did you lose Tongguan in nine days?" Hong said, "The soldiers of the Western Liang army

Using various insults, I saw that the army was slack and took advantage of the situation to rush away, not wanting to fall into the trap of thieves. ”Cao said, 'Hong Xiaonian is restless and violent, Xu Huang, you need to...'

Xiaoshi! ”Huang said, "I'm tired of advising you not to comply. That day, Huang ordered a grain truck at the gate and knew that the young general had already left. Huang may have made some mistakes

Hurry up and go, you have been tricked by the thief. ”Be extremely angry and drink to slay Cao Hong. All officials are exempted. Cao Hong pleaded guilty and withdrew.

Go ahead and attack Tongguan directly. Cao Ren said, "You can first set up the fortress fence, and then clear it before it's too late." Cao ordered the trees to be cut down, and the fence to be erected,

Divided into three villages: the left village is Cao Ren, the right village is Xiahou Yuan, and Cao considers himself the middle village. The next day, he led the generals and soldiers of the three villages to rush to the pass

Encountering the military horses of Xiliang. Arrange formations on both sides. Riding horses under the banner of the gate, watching the soldiers of Xiliang, everyone is brave and strong, every hero. again

Seeing Ma Chao's face as rosy as Fu powder, lips as red as vermilion, slender waist and broad arms, powerful voice, white robe and silver armor, holding a long spear in his hand, he immediately formed a formation;

First Pang De, second Ma Dai. Cao secretly exclaimed in surprise and said to himself, "You are the descendant of a famous general in the Han Dynasty. Why did you betray him

Super gritted his teeth and cursed loudly, 'Damn thief! I apologize for not taking responsibility, I cannot tolerate punishment! It is an unforgivable revenge to harm my father and younger brother! I will capture him alive.'

Eat your meat! ”After speaking, shoot straight over. Cao Cao welcomed from behind the prohibition. The two horses engaged in a fierce battle, but Yu Jian was defeated.

Zhang He went out to welcome him, but he was defeated after twenty battles. Li Tong welcomed him and engaged in a fierce battle. In the midst of the battle, he stabbed Li Tong under his horse with a single shot. Chao Ba

With one move from the gun, the soldiers of Xiliang rushed forward together. The military suffered a major defeat. The Western Liang army is coming with great force, and both the left and right generals cannot withstand it.

Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai led over a hundred cavalry into the central army to capture Cao Cao. In the chaotic army, I could only hear the soldiers of Xiliang shouting loudly, 'Wear red.'

The one in the robe is Cao Cao! ”Immediately take off your red robe. I heard someone shouting again, 'The one with a long beard is Cao Cao!' Cao panicked and grabbed his sword

Cut off his beard. Someone in the army informed Ma Chao about the matter of cutting off Cao Cao's beard, and Chao then ordered someone to take it and say, "The one with a short beard is Cao Cao!" Upon hearing this, Cao Cao

He grabbed the flag and wrapped his neck to escape. There is a poem by later generations that goes: "After the defeat at Tongguan, Meng De fled in the wind, and in sorrow, he took off his brocade robe. Cutting his beard with a sword should make him lose courage

Ma Chao's voice price is sky high. ”

As Cao Cao was walking, a rider came from behind and turned around to see Ma Chao. Damn the shock. The left and right generals saw Chao rush over and fled separately

Command, only withdraw Cao Cao. Chao Li shouted loudly, 'Cao Cao, stop leaving!' Cao was so shocked that his whip fell to the ground. Let's see if we catch up, Ma Chao will lead from behind

Bring the gun. Walk around the tree and shoot a bullet into it; When pulled out urgently, the operation had already gone far away. The super longitudinal horse arrived and turned around the hillside

General, shout loudly, 'Don't harm my lord! Cao Hong is here!' With a blade and horse, stop Ma Chao. Fuck off and escape. Hong and Ma Chao fought until the fourth

Fifty times, gradually the knife technique becomes scattered and the strength is not increased. Xiahou Yuan brought dozens of riders along. Ma Chao is alone, afraid of being taken into account, so he is turned away

Returning on horseback, Xiahou Yuan did not come to rush.

Cao Cao returned to the fortress, but due to the death of Cao Ren, the fortress was fortified, so there were no more troops or horses. Cao entered the tent and sighed, 'If I had killed Cao Hong, now...'

I will die at the hands of Ma Chao every day! ”Then he called Cao Hong and gave him a heavy reward. Pack up the defeated army, hold the fortress, deep trenches and high fortifications, and do not go to battle

Chao brings troops to the fortress every day to insult and fight. Instruct the soldiers to hold on and execute them as if they were moving around. The generals said, 'The soldiers of Xiliang are exhausted.'

Use a long spear and select a bow and crossbow to welcome it. ”Cao said, "Whether to fight or not, it all depends on me, not on the thief. Although the thief has a long spear, safety is the key

Stabbing? The nobles stood firm against the wall, but the thief retreated on his own. ”All the generals privately discussed and said, 'The Prime Minister has come to fight and is at the forefront; now he has been defeated.'

Ma Chao, why so weak? ”

After a few days, a detailed report came: "Ma Chao has added 20000 more life force soldiers to assist in the battle, it is the Qiang tribe." Upon hearing this, Cao was overjoyed. Generals

He said, "Ma Chao has added troops, but the Prime Minister is unhappy. What's the point?" Cao said, "I'll wait until I win, but I'll tell you and the others." Three days later, the customs were cleared again

Add more military horses. When he was overjoyed, he held a banquet in the tent to congratulate him. All the generals chuckled in secret. Cao said, "The lords laughed at me for not having any plan to defeat Ma Chao,

What good strategies does the public have? ”Xu Huangjin said, "The Prime Minister's troops are here, and all the bandits are currently stationed at the gates. If you go to Hexi, you will be unprepared

If an army secretly crosses Pubanjin and intercepts the bandits to return, the Prime Minister will directly attack them from Hebei. If the two bandits do not respond, it will inevitably be in danger. ”Damn it

The words of Gongming are exactly in line with my wishes, "he instructed Xu Huang to lead four thousand elite soldiers to attack Hexi with Zhu Ling and lie in the valley,

Wait for me to cross Hebei and attack them at the same time. "Xu Huang and Zhu Ling led the order and secretly led four thousand troops ahead. Cao ordered, teach Cao Hongyu first

Pu Hanjin, arrange for boats and rafts. Let Cao Ren guard the fortress, and Cao Zi lead his troops across the Wei River. Long ago, there was a detailed report to Ma Chao. Chao said, 'I won't attack today.'

Tongguan, and preparing boats and rafts to cross Hebei, will surely contain me afterwards. I will lead an army along the river to resist the north bank. Do not use weapons

Crossing, within twenty days, the food in the east of the river will be depleted, and the soldiers will be in chaos. However, they will follow Henan and attack them, and they can be captured. ”Han Sui said, 'There's no need to be like this.'

This. Have you not heard of the military strategy that says, 'Half the crossing of an army is enough to strike?' When you reach the halfway point of crossing, you strike on the south bank, and all the soldiers die in the river

Inside. Chao said, 'Uncle's words are very kind.' Even if someone were to inquire about when Cao Cao would cross the river. But it was said that Cao Cao had finished organizing his troops and divided them into three armies to stop

When crossing the Wei River and reaching the mouth of the river, the sun begins to shine. Lead the elite troops to cross the north bank and establish a camp. Engage in self guided activities and follow your loved ones

A hundred guards sat on the south bank with their swords pressed, watching the army cross the river. Suddenly, someone reported, 'The white robed general has arrived from behind!' Everyone recognized him

ma chao. Get off the boat in one wave. The sound of soldiers fighting to board the ship by the river was incessant. Sitting still without moving, pressing the sword finger to make a fuss. I can only hear people shouting

The horses hissed and swarmed, and one of them jumped onto the shore, shouting, "The thief has arrived! Please disembark, Prime Minister!" Seeing this, it was Xu Chuye

Cao still said in his mouth, 'What's the harm if the thief arrives?' Looking back, Ma Chao couldn't leave for more than a hundred steps. When Xu Chu dragged Cao off the ship, the ship had already left

More than a zhang on the shore, Chu Qiancao jumped onto the ship. All the accompanying soldiers went into the water, grabbed the edge of the boat, and tried to board and escape for their lives. The ship will capsize,

Chu Che's knife slashed wildly, causing the boatman to fold and fall into the water. Quickly look at the boat and dive into the water. Xu Chu stood on the top. Busy using wooden poles to support it.

Lie at Xu Chu's feet. Ma Chao rushed to the riverbank and saw that the boat was already halfway through the river. He then picked up his bow and arrows, and ordered his brave generals to shoot around the river. Arrow like

The rain is urgent. Chu was afraid of injuring Cao Cao, so he raised the saddle with his left hand to cover him. Ma Chao's arrows are not in vain, and those who sail on the boat should bow and fall into the water; Mid ship number

Ten people were shot down. The ship's back support is unstable and it rotates in the turbulent water. Xu Chu exerted his divine power alone, shaking the rudder between his legs and using one hand to strike the pole

Support the ship and raise the saddle with one hand to protect Cao Cao. Ding Fei, the magistrate of Weinan County, was on the southern mountain when he saw Ma Chao chasing after Cao urgently, fearing to injure his life,

Then all the cows and horses in the village were driven out, and the mountains and fields were covered with them. The soldiers of Xiliang saw it. Everyone turned around to fight for cattle and horses, without any intention

Chasing, Cao Cao had to escape as a result. When they reached the north bank, they sank the boat and raft. When the generals heard that Cao Cao was fleeing in the river and urgently came to rescue him, Cao

Already landed. Xu Chu was heavily armored, with arrows embedded in the armor. All the generals went to the wilderness and bowed to the ground to greet them. Cao laughed heartily and said:

I've been trapped by petty thieves today! "Chu said; If it weren't for someone riding horses and cattle to lure the thief, the thief would have worked hard to cross the river, "Cao asked

Who is the one who seduces the thief? "A knowledgeable person replied," Ding Feiye, the magistrate of Weinan County. "After a short while, Fei entered and saw him. Cao Xie said, "If it's not public

If I had a good plan, I would have been captured by the thief. ”He was appointed as the Colonel of the Imperial Army, and Fei said, "Although the thief has temporarily left, he will come back tomorrow. We must come up with a good plan

Reject it. ”Cao said, "I am ready." Then he called on all the generals to build a passage along the river, temporarily serving as the base of the fortress. If a thief came,

Chen Bing is outside the corridor. Setting up empty banners inside, thinking they are suspicious soldiers; Digging trenches along the river and covering them with empty soil sheds, Hanoi lured them with soldiers: 'Thieves.'

If you rush, you will fall, but if you fall, you can strike. ”But Ma Chao met Han Sui and said, 'Almost captured Cao Cao! One of the brave soldiers bravely defeated Cao Cao.'

The ship has gone, I don't know who. ”Then he said, "I have heard that Cao Cao has chosen a very strong and talented person to serve as a guard in front of the tent, named the Tiger Guard, and appointed him as a brave general

Dian Wei and Xu Chu led it. Dian Wei is dead, and now the one who saves Cao Cao must be Xu Chuye. This person is exceptionally brave and capable, and everyone is called a tiger fanatic; in case of

It's. Do not underestimate the enemy. ”Chao said, "I have also heard of its name for a long time." Then he said, "I will cross the river and attack my rear. You can attack quickly.

He cannot be allowed to establish a camp. If we establish a camp, it will be difficult to eliminate it urgently. ”Chao said, "With my nephew's foolish intentions, he only refused to stay on the north bank, making it impossible for him

Crossing the river is the best strategy. ”Then he said, "My virtuous nephew, guard the fortress. I will lead the army to battle along the river. What should we do?" Chao said, "Let Pang De be the vanguard

Go with your uncle. ”

So Han Sui and Pang De sent 50000 soldiers straight to Weinan. Command the generals to lure them on both sides of the corridor. Pang De led over a thousand iron cavalry to clash

And come. At the sound of shouting, people and horses all fell into the trap. Pang De jumped. Leap out of the pit, stand on the flat ground, and kill several people,

Walk and cut through the encirclement. Han Sui was trapped in Gaixin, and Pang De walked to rescue him. Encountering Cao Yong, a general of Cao Ren, who was brutally attacked by Pang De

Under the horse, seize its horse, open up a bloody path, rescue Han Sui, and flee southeast. Cao Bing rushed over from behind, and Ma Chao led the army to support and kill

Defeated Cao's troops and rescued most of the army horses. Fight until dusk before returning. Count the troops, defeat the generals Zuo Cheng Yin and Zhang Heng, and capture the two dead in the pit

More than a hundred people. Chao and Han Sui discussed: "If we delay for a long time and set up a camp in Hebei, it will be difficult to retreat the enemy; if we don't take advantage of tonight to lead light cavalry

Go rob camping. ”Then he said, "We need to divide our troops to save each other." So Chao took charge of the front and appointed Pang De and Ma Dai as the rear, and that night he

that 's ok.

But Cao Cao withdrew his troops and stationed them in the north of the Wei River, calling out to his generals, 'The bandits have deceived me and have not set up a camp yet. They will come to rob the camping site. But scatter the ambush soldiers in all directions and make up for their central army.'

When the cannon rings, all the ambush soldiers rise up and can be captured with just one drum. ”The generals have followed the order and the ambush has been completed. That night, Ma Chao was the first to use Cheng Yi Yin San

Ten riders advanced forward to scout, but Cheng Yi saw no one and headed straight into the central army. When Cao Jun saw the arrival of the Western Liang army, he fired his cannon. Soldiers from all sides are deployed, only

Surrounded by thirty riders. Cheng Yi was killed by Xiahou Yuan. Ma Chao, however, swarmed and killed Pang De and Ma Dai soldiers from behind. Exactly:

Even if there are ambush soldiers waiting for the enemy, how can they be the key generals to compete together? The outcome is unknown, let's break it down in the following text.
