Late at night, there is silence, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
It is a good time to visit someone.
Bai Ren rode his horse silently, and with a calm expression, he led Xiang Cheng and Wang Meng to the gate of Tongguan City.
At this time, Bai Ren looked at the towering city gate and sighed.
The gate he had conquered with so much hard work had now become someone else's territory.
Tongguan is so towering that it can be said to be a natural barrier.
Bai Ren had to go through a lot of hardships to attack it.
It can also be said that Tongguan's defense is very strong.
In history, Ma Chao avenged his father and attacked Cao Cao.
After finally reaching Chang'an, he could no longer advance eastward.
This was because the terrain of the Tongguan area made it difficult for the Xiliang cavalry to advance westward.
"Go ask someone to open the city gate."
Bai Ren looked at Xiang Cheng silently and said to Xiang Cheng expressionlessly.
Although Cao Hong is in charge of the western defense line, Cao Hong has the ability to really manage the western defense line.
Therefore, in many cases, Xiang Cheng and Zhong Yao jointly manage it, and Cao Hong is only a nominal general, so why is this When Ma Chao came to Chang'an, Cao Hong was still sitting in Tongguan and couldn't come out.
"I am General Xiang Cheng, open the city gate."
After listening to Bai Ren's words, Xiang Cheng looked at Bai Ren's serious face, rode his horse to the bottom of Tongguan, and looked at the soldiers on duty at Tongguan City and shouted.
The soldiers at the top of the city heard the shouts below the city and looked at the city with a strange look.
Who could they recognize in this dark night?
"Quickly report to the general."
The soldiers on the tower looked at the darkness under the city and said to the soldiers on the side with a heavy tone.
Bai Ren waited silently under the tower.
Seeing that the soldiers on the tower did not open the door, he touched his chin and waited silently.
"Who is under the city?"
Not long after, a slightly fat figure appeared at the top of the city, and suddenly a voice familiar to Bai Ren came from the top of the city.
"General Cao, I, Xiang Cheng, Xiang Jiyu."
Xiang Cheng also recognized the general at the top of the city at this time, and said to Cao Hong in a serious tone.
"Xiang Jiyu, if you don't stay well in Chang'an, how come you have time to come to my place?"
Cao Hong asked with some confusion in his voice as he looked down at Xiang Cheng.
"General Cao, I have something important to discuss with General Cao.
I would also like to ask General Cao to let me into the city."
Xiang Cheng turned his head and looked at Bai Ren with a calm expression.
He found that Bai Ren was pointing at his face, and then waved.
Waving his hand to indicate not to expose himself, Xiang Cheng could only smile helplessly.
Cao Hong was at the top of the city.
He couldn't see much in the dark night.
He hesitated for a moment, gave instructions to the soldiers beside him, and then silently left the top of the city.
Bai Ren and others waited silently under Tongguan.
Not long after, they heard a sound.
The city gate of Tongguan, accompanied by the sound of iron chains, was slowly pulled down, and finally stood in front of Bai Ren.
"Tap tap" a sound of horse hooves sounded, and there was a faint firelight in the city.
Finally, the light became bigger and bigger, and then came to the city gate.
Bai Ren squinted his eyes and looked into the city gate from a distance.
He saw Cao Hong riding a war horse, leading his soldiers, lighting torches, and slowly approaching the city gate.
Soon after, Cao Hong arrived at the city gate.

The surrounding soldiers, under Cao Hong's order, immediately surrounded Bai Ren and others.
Under the light of torches, the Tongguan City was illuminated as if it were daytime.
Because Bai Ren and Wang Meng were wearing ordinary clothes, and Bai Ren lowered his head deliberately, Cao Hong did not notice Bai Ren.
"Xiang Jiyu, you came to my place in the middle of the night, but you disturbed my good dream.
If you can't tell me what happened, don't blame me, Mr.
Cao, for getting mad."
Cao Hong looked at Xiang Cheng with a somewhat unhappy expression.
He said with a somewhat heavy tone.
Xiang Cheng gave a helpless smile.
Cao Hong had this expression towards everyone else.
There were very few people in Cao Ying who were convinced by Cao Hong.
After all, Cao Hong was Cao Cao's younger brother.
He had saved Cao Cao from fire and water many times.
It could be said that he was Cao Cao's life saver. benefactor.
"Cao Zilian, you are very cool."
At this moment, a cold voice sounded next to Cao Hong's ears.
"Who?"
After hearing the voice, Cao Hong immediately looked in the direction of the voice, looking at Bai Ren with his head down with a somewhat unhappy expression.
Bai Ren slowly raised his head, looked at Cao Hong with a cold face, then stared at Cao Hong, and said to Cao Hong in a calm tone: "Cao Zilian, do you still recognize me?"
"Bai Zifu, you, you, how did you get here?"
At this time, Cao Hong looked at Bai Ren who suddenly appeared.
He was like a mouse meeting a cat, and all the hair on his body exploded.
He said to Bai Ren with an extremely frightened and panicked expression.
It can be said that Cao Hong's character is not afraid of the sky or the earth.
He is the boss and I am second.
But there is only one exception, and that is Bai Ren and Bai Zifu.
Cao Hong and Bai Ren didn't deal with each other when they first met.
At that time, Cao Hong made things difficult for Bai Ren.
In the end, Bai Ren easily resolved it.
However, Bai Ren was not a tolerable master.
He found Cao Hong several times and used the name of Wu to kill Cao Hong.
Cao Hong was beaten so hard that when Cao Hong looked at Bai Ren, he could not help but tremble when he recalled the days when he was bullied by Bai Ren.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Cao Hong in surprise.
They had never seen their general look so panicked.
They all looked at Bai Ren, who looked extremely calm.
Bai Ren looked at Cao Hong in front of him, and said to Cao Hong with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Can't I come over?
Are you still letting us play northwest outside and not letting us in?"
After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Hong didn't hesitate at all and subconsciously said to Bai Ren: "Hurry in, please come in, please come in."
Bai Ren sneered, then rode silently to Cao Hong's side.
Under Cao Hong's frightened eyes, he patted Cao Hong's shoulder gently and said to Cao Hong in a soft tone: "Zilian, we I haven’t tried it for a long time.
If you have time, let’s try it again and let me see if you have made any progress.”
After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Hong looked at Bai Ren beside him.
His body was trembling slightly and his face was a little red.
He suddenly shouted to Bai Ren who was walking towards the city gate: "Bai Zifu" Bai Ren was frightened by Cao Hong's sudden roar.
He looked at Cao Hong behind him with a strange look.

Seeing Cao Hong's flushed face, he looked at Cao Hong with a cold look.
At this time, Tongguan City became completely quiet.
Everyone turned their eyes to Bai Ren and Cao Hong, looking at Cao Hong's angry look in shock.
Xiang Cheng looked at this situation and felt a little anxious.
Could it be that the two Are we going to start a fight?
Cao Hong's face turned red at this time.
He looked at Bai Ren's eyes in the distance and turned back to look at him.
Finally, he said in a heavy tone: "Bai Zifu, are you hungry after playing like this?"
After listening to Cao Hong's words, everyone looked at Cao Hong in surprise and disbelief.
Is this the majestic General Cao?
Why did he suddenly ask such a question?
At this time, Cao Hong broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.
The weird looks from the people around him were ignored by Cao Hong.
Originally, Cao Hong really wanted to fight Bai Ren, but after thinking about it, Cao Hong decided not to do it.
After all, he didn't want to fight Bai Ren.
Being beaten to tears is good enough.
"I'm not hungry.
Come into the city quickly.
I have important things to discuss.
Don't wait here."
After hearing what Cao Hong said, Bai Ren looked at the aggrieved Cao Hong with cold eyes and said in a heavy tone.
Cao Hong said.
"Come on, come on!"
After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Hong quickly rode on his horse and followed Bai Ren quickly.
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he followed Bai Ren towards the city gate.
The soldiers surrounding Tongguan City Gate looked at the leaving figures of Cao Hong, Bai Ren and others, and then thought about Cao Hong's carefree look just now, and then looked at Bai Ren's stern appearance, they suddenly shuddered, and they were just busy.
Pack your things and go into the city, closing the city gate tightly.
"Zifu, what are you doing here so late?"
Cao Hong rode behind Bai Ren and asked, looking at Bai Ren's back in front of him strangely.
After hearing what Cao Hong said, Bai Ren asked Cao Hong in a serious tone: "Do you know that the Xiliang army invaded Chang'an?"
"I know, by the way, you are here for support, why are you here?"
After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Hong seemed to understand something, and asked Bai Ren in a strange tone
