In order to protect Cao Cao behind him, Cao Hong used all his strength to kill Ma Chao on the opposite side, and Ma Chao was also extremely brave.
The two of them went back and forth like this, fighting for more than fifty rounds, but there was no winner.
However, Cao Hong's strength was not as strong as Ma Chao's, and because Cao Hong had been fighting for such a long time, he no longer had much strength and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
When Cao Cao saw this situation, he immediately picked up his horse and quickly fled away on the horse.
Seeing that Cao Cao had escaped, Ma Chao suddenly looked heavy.
He waved the spear in his hand and stabbed Cao Hong at the opposite side.
He yelled with a somewhat unwilling tone: "You shameless guy actually ruined my good deeds.
Today I will let you die without a burial place.”
"Pfft" I saw Cao Hong take a shot from Ma Chao, and his expression suddenly became a little heavy.
Seeing such a strong attack from Ma Chao in front of him, Cao Hong also felt a little panicked.
"Don't panic, Zi Lian, we are here to support you."
When Cao Hong was almost desperate and felt that he was going to die at Ma Chao's hands, suddenly a cry came from the distance, and he saw two brothers, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan, holding weapons in their hands and carrying them behind them.
Hundreds of cavalry came to support Cao Hong.
"No, there are more and more people here.
I'm afraid I won't be able to escape by then, so I might as well leave first."
At this time, Ma Chao looked at the reinforcements coming to support Cao Hong in the distance, his expression suddenly became a little ugly, and then Waving the spear in his hand, he deflected the broadsword in Cao Hong's hand, and then fled away quickly on his horse.
Cao Hong saw Ma Chao running away in the distance, took a breath, and then fainted.
Fortunately, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan came to support Cao Hong and prevented Cao Hong from falling off his horse.
"Let's go back first."
At this time, Xiahou Dun saw that Ma Chao was far away, so he gritted his teeth, looked at the unconscious Cao Hong beside him, and finally said to Xiahou Yuan in a hoarse tone.
So Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong returned to the military camp.
Cao Cao returned to the military camp.
Hearing that Xiahou Dun's people had rescued Cao Hong, he suddenly looked a little emotional.
Then he came to Cao Hong's tent in person.
Looking at Cao Hong who was out of strength and unconscious, Cao Cao said with some emotion: "If it weren't for Zi Lian was here to stop Ma Chao.
I'm afraid I will die at Ma Chao's hands today."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun You on the side did not touch his beard gently, and said with some emotion: "Now I heard that Han Sui from Xiliang also brought troops and horses to support Ma Chao.
Now Ma Chao's cavalry , all like to charge into battle, so we should use bows, arrows and powerful crossbows to defeat them."
After hearing what Xun You said, Cao Cao suddenly looked a little heavy and said in a hoarse voice: "Now whether Ma Chao wants to fight or not depends on me, not on Ma Chao.
Although Ma Chao has cavalry, can he attack now?
We only need to retreat to Hongnong, and we only need to hold on to the city.
Ma Chao will definitely retreat without a fight."
"What the Prime Minister said is true."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun You nodded with a heavy expression on his face, and then replied to Cao Cao in a calm tone.
"Inform my general and lead the entire army to retreat to Hongnong City."
At this time, Cao Cao looked at the generals following him and gave his order in a hoarse voice.
Qiang watched Cao Cao retreat, and began to whisper among themselves.
Today's defeat can be said to be a serious defeat for Cao Cao's camp, so much so that Cao Cao did not dare to take the initiative to fight in order to prevent Ma Chao, and could only retreat to one side.
Ma Chao took his Xiliang cavalry back to Tongguan.
Looking at Han Sui in Tongguan, he said with some emotion: "My uncle came to support me today.
My nephew is very grateful."
"Your father and I are as close as brothers.
Your father was killed today for no reason at the hands of Cao Cao.
I will definitely give my nephew a helping hand to avenge Brother Shoucheng."
Han Sui looked a little heavy at this time and said to Ma Chao beside him. , and then patted Ma Chao on the shoulder with a heavy expression.

Ma Chao looked at Han Sui and saw that Han Sui did not bring Yan Xing with him this time, but only brought his counselor Cheng Gongying.
However, there were eight generals behind him at this time, and he did not know who they were.
"I don't know about the eight people behind my uncle, but those eight people."
At this time, Ma Chao looked at the eight generals behind him with some good intentions, and asked Han Sui in a confused tone.
"These eight people are the eight military generals of Xiliang," Han Sui said to Ma Chao in front of him with a somewhat calm expression.
The military department, to be honest, is the small warlords in Xiliang.
They have their own land and army, but they rely on big princes like Ma Teng and Han Sui.
"These eight people are Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Yang Qiu."
Han Sui saw Ma Chao's good appearance and introduced these people to Ma Chao at one time.
Eight names.
After Ma Chao heard what Han Sui said in front of him, he suddenly looked grateful and said to the eight people: "Now that my father was killed by Cao Cao, you are willing to follow me to take revenge.
If you can avenge your shame by then, I will definitely be grateful." ”
"I have received favors from General Ma a long time ago.
Now that I heard that General Ma has suffered such a disaster, we are willing to follow General Meng Qi and attack Cao Cao to avenge General Ma."
The eight generals looked at Ma Chao with a somewhat respectful tone.
He said to Ma Chao respectfully.
"General, now Cao Cao has led his army to evacuate the camp and retreat towards Hongnong City."
At this time, I saw a soldier hurriedly coming from a distance and said to Ma Chao with a heavy expression.
When Han Sui heard the news, he burst out laughing, and then said to Ma Chao in a heavy tone: "It seems that Cao Cao is afraid of his nephew.
Today he gave Cao Cao a lot of fright."
"Cao Cao actually retreated.
Tomorrow I will definitely lead troops to attack Hongnong and kill Cao Cao."
At this time, Ma Chao clenched his fists, with a look of murderous intent on his face, and then said in a heavy tone.
Qie said that at night, Cao Cao was patrolling the city's army with a calm face.
Suddenly he heard the news from the army that Cao Cao was afraid of Ma Chao.
When Cao Cao heard the news, he suddenly showed a faint smile on his face.
"Zhongkang" Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu who was guarding him and said to Xu Chu in a heavy tone.
"Prime Minister, what's the matter?"
At this time, Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao who looked a little unhappy and asked Cao Cao in a low tone.
"Go and order the generals to come to my house to discuss military matters."
Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then said to Xu Chu with a heavy expression on his face.
Not long after, I saw that the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of people, and Cao Cao was sitting in the main seat.
He looked at his generals with a heavy expression, and then said in a heavy tone: "I heard some people in the army laugh at me because I am afraid of Ma Chao. , is there such a thing?”
After hearing what Cao Cao said, the generals all looked at me and I looked at you, silently lowering their heads and remaining silent.
"Ma Chao is really coming now.
Even I am a little afraid of him.
You are all my confidants.
Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Cao Cao looked at the silent people below and gently touched his beard, only to find that His beard had long since disappeared, so he put his hand down and spoke to everyone calmly.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan to defeat Ma Chao."
At this time, a man walked out from the crowd and looked at Cao Cao with a heavy expression, and said to Cao Cao in a sincere tone.
This person is none other than Cao Cao's favorite generals Xu Huang and Xu Gongming.
"I don't know if Gong Ming has any good advice, why don't you tell me the truth."
At this time, Cao Cao looked at Xu Huang who stood up, with a smile on his face, and asked Xu Huang in a calm tone.
"Now that Ma Chao and his troops are stationed in Tongguan, our army can secretly send two soldiers to leave Luoyang quietly, one to Hexi, and then detour to the enemy's rear, and then attack each other.

In addition, what?
Always a soldier Then they will set up an ambush near Chang'an when they return.
If they act like this, the enemy will be defeated without a fight."
At this time, Xu Huang touched his beard and looked at Cao Cao who was sitting in the main seat with a serious tone.
Cao Cao revealed his plan.
After hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly showed a hint of joy on his face, and then said to Xu Huang in a somewhat excited tone: "Xu Huang's plan is very popular with me
