Guan Ping was really not able to be punished by Han Sui.

After all, he is a hero, and at least he is an important leader of the Qiang and Hu. Han Sui has been rampant for decades and is not even afraid of Cao Cao. Even if he loses, he will hide in Liangzhou. Cao Cao will not be able to catch him for a while.

But although his expression was quite gentle, his tone began to loosen. He actually expressed his willingness to give his little daughter to Guan Ping as his concubine...

Seeing Cheng Gongying beside him with a shocked look, it was obvious that Han Sui had never discussed this matter with him before.

"Well, I have already married the daughter of Cao Gong, this..."

"Hey, that's what you said." Han Sui smiled and said, "One exchange for two, I think the general is not good to explain to his subordinates. In addition, the little girl, this should be OK. This matter is good for you and me. Please think carefully about it and never push it away."

Speaking of which, Han Sui's son also acted as a hostage on Cao Cao's side.

He and Ma Chao were able to abandon their relatives so decisively and be so cruel to their own people. It was easy to understand that they let go of the people of Sanfu when they were robbed before.

To be fair, of course he really wanted to refuse directly, and even wondered if it was Han Sui's daughter who had unique skills and was preparing to assassinate him.

But Kuai Yue gently touched Guan Ping behind him and whispered:

"General, this matter must not be missed."

"Han Sui is deeply trusted by the Qiang people. Even if he loses this battle, he will not perish easily.

If the general wants to occupy Yongliang, he must establish a good relationship with the Qiang people, otherwise they will rebel at any time. How can we restore the Han Dynasty and return to the Central Plains?"

"Han Sui put his son on Cao Cao's hostage. After he failed, Cao Cao would definitely kill him and vent his anger.

Today, he used his little daughter to exchange horses for fun, and there are three main considerations.

First, if only one horse is replaced by a horse, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army. If the two of them are exchanged with their daughter, the horse is bound to be devoted and will definitely do its best to serve Han Sui in the future.

Second, if his subordinates have a good guess, now that Cao Gong has already raised his army to arrive in Tongguan, Han Sui is anxious to make peace with the general and wants to go to Tongguan to fight with Cao Gong. I see that he has guessed some of the identities of the general. It just so happened that the general has accumulated a lot of reputation through this battle. There is no need to break up with Han Sui completely. It is better to respond first.

Third, it may be Han Sui's trick. After this defeat, he and Ma Chao must have had a rift. If the war continues to go wrong, Han Sui and Ma Chao are likely to turn against each other again. With the son-in-law of the general, Ma Chao will be a little afraid. As for what Prime Minister Cao thinks... Haha, if the general succeeds in this battle, it will be really high and the vast sky and the land of Yongliang can be completely allowed to be performed by the general."

Even if Cao's army can defeat Ma Chao, at most, control Guanzhong. The west side of Yongzhou and Liangzhou will be in a state of free stocking for a while. If Guan Ping can find a suitable opportunity to enter and use some people to sweep the two places quickly, he can gain great power far more than in Jingzhou. After resting for a while, Cao's army will be completely unstoppable when attacking again.

This is also the reason why he has been trying to win over Yan Xing before.

Yan Xing has just reached a preliminary cooperation with Guan Ping, saying that if the time is ripe after this battle, he is willing to recruit a large army in Liangzhou and help Guan Ping fight against Liangzhou together.

If you marry Han Sui's daughter, Guan Ping will have a lot of articles to do in Liangzhou later.

He gritted his teeth and smiled helplessly:

"Okay, that book will follow the good."

.

I heard that Chang'an is still sticking to it, and Cao Cao also believes that he cannot miss the opportunity to blossom in this center.

In the middle of winter, Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang to come to the Yellow River and prepare to cross the river and enter Guanzhong.

But what Cao Cao never expected was that the coalition forces had already stationed the military camp on the other side in advance. What Cao Cao did not expect was that these Guanzhong coalition forces actually sprinkled water on the wooden fences of the military camp, forming a thick barrier.

At first glance, the riverside was covered with white positions. If Cao's army wanted to cross the river, they had to pay huge losses.

But if Cao's army did not cross the river, he would not have much military ration in the middle of winter. If he continued to consume it, he would be afraid that the army would suffer greater losses due to food shortage.

Cao Cao looked at Yang Xiu with some dissatisfaction.

Before, Yang Xiu swore that Ma Chao had an internal strife with Han Sui, but now the Guanzhong Allied Forces are well prepared and are not as if there has been an internal strife, which makes Cao Cao at a loss for a moment.

It’s not that I dare not attack, but that I dare not cross the river rashly when the enemy is unknown.

At least from the current situation, the situation of the battle is obviously not as optimistic as Yang Xiu imagined.

"Don't worry about this for now, let's talk about crossing the river."

That night, Xiahou Yuan ordered Xu Huang and Zhu Ling to lead five thousand people to cross the river slowly, preparing to explore the enemy's reality and reality first.

After leaving Jingzhou, Xu Huang was assigned to Xiahou Yuan's subordinates. Although Xiahou Yuan was kind and did not wear Xu Huang's slut due to the previous conflicts with Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang already had a big gap in his heart. Especially when he heard that his old colleague Le Jin was getting better and better in Jingzhou, he began to do the same thing and slowly accumulate his own troops, with a lot of private soldiers in his hands.

This time when crossing the river to attack Ma Chao, Xu Huang used his own private soldiers. According to Yang Xiu's estimate, Ma Chao was not on guard, and Xu Huang could win a complete victory as long as he sent troops.

But the situation is obviously not the case now. Xu Huang, who was driven to the shelves, could only curse Yang Xiu in his heart while personally leading his private soldiers to advance quietly, not even dared to breathe.

The Yellow River is quiet in the middle of winter and afraid of people. The large amount of ice in the river continues to hit Xu Huang's ferry, and the thud sound is so creepy.

The Ice City, which shot dazzling light in the sun, was now swallowed by the darkness. Although Xu Huang knew that there would be no water battle in this battle, he still lay on the boat with fear and did not dare to move.

I don’t know how long it took, but the ferry under Xu Huang finally landed. They didn’t dare to light the torch, so they could only slowly get off the boat in silence. Even the heavy breathing would attract the glaring of their comrades around them. The atmosphere was very depressing.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Everyone held arms and gradually approached the huge ice city with solid ice. Seeing that in the dark night, only a few lonely lamps were lit in the ice city, and the soldiers patrolling the night did not issue an alarm, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the bleak moonlight, Xu Huang had already seen the gate of the Ice City. He breathed a little relieved and waved to the soldiers beside him. He was about to issue the order for the general attack, but suddenly heard waves of dog barking and wolf howling.

With a few dog barking and wolf howls, countless lights suddenly lit up in the ice city, which was extremely quiet just now. Before Cao's soldiers could react, the dark air immediately sounded, and countless arrows were thrown over like rain, and accurately shot on Xu Huangjun's soldiers, causing the soldiers who had been suppressing and dared not make any sound to finally scream and cry.

"Don't panic, hold it!"

Xu Huang was very experienced. He knew that this was just the first wave of attacks from the enemy. It was absolutely impossible to shoot all the thousands of people under his command with bows and arrows. Instead, the chaos in the darkness may lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

He grabbed a shield to protect his face, and the sound of the people hitting him hard made their scalp numb, but Xu Huang was not afraid at all. More than 300 personal soldiers around him bravely moved forward, each holding up the wooden shield in his hands to block the rain of arrows and quickly rushed to the gate of the camp. Several brave soldiers protected their bodies and used the wooden shield to break the antlers, and bravely entered the village.

But before they could stand firm, countless spears suddenly stabbed from all directions. The soldiers under Xu Huang's command could not stop these countless spears. Even Xu Huang, wearing iron armor, was stabbed heavily and frowned in pain.

Is this unprepared? It is obviously sufficiently prepared, and I am waiting for us here!

Xu Huang shouted loudly, like a wounded giant beast. He stabbed a spearman in the face in the night sky with a backhand.

The man was actually wearing a basin-collared iron armor, but Xu Huang slashed hard on his face with a knife, and he screamed in pain and fell heavily to the ground.

Xu Huang's sword force continued to kill several people in a while, and forcibly opened a hole under the encirclement of countless enemy troops.

Seeing Xu Huang so brave, Zhu Ling, who was subsequently landing, also roared and ordered his soldiers to beat the drums together. The Cao army soldiers who were first on the shore launched an attack on the coalition barracks like a tide.

But the coalition forces were prepared for a long time. They had already set up mail towers around and kept shooting with dense arrows. Although the soldiers who landed on the Cao army bravely, they could not ignore the rain of arrows all over the sky. There was a slight confusion in the military formation.

When the enemy was found in chaos, a neat sound of golden drums came from the coalition's mail tower, and the sound of deafening horse hooves sounded!

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The dense sound of horse hooves was like huge fists pounding the frozen land. Countless Liangzhou cavalry swarmed out, roaring out from the camp and both sides, waved the spears in their hands and attacked Cao's army, and immediately divided Xu Huang and Zhu Ling's soldiers into two pieces.

A large number of soldiers were unable to land on the ship smoothly. These brave Liangzhou cavalry were wearing thick iron armor and rushed towards the most densely populated area of ​​the Xu Huang army. They immediately killed everyone, screaming one after another, and the long night was filled with painful wails and trembling.

finally!

Finally no need to attack the city!

Ma Chao, wearing iron armor, breathed a little relieved and stared at Cao Jun in front of him, his eyes full of fierce light.

He suffered too much grievances under Chang'an City, and this time he was finally able to show his cavalry talents in the battle.

In order to thank Ma Chao for his rescue, Han Sui took the initiative to distribute his power to Ma Chao half of his troops. Ma Chao was also happy to be idle and quickly led his army to the Yellow River.

The Guanzhong people who didn't know the truth certainly thought that the two had turned against each other, but in fact, the slightly dispersed Guanzhong Allied Forces could avoid suspicion and guard against each other, and exert greater combat effectiveness.

Needless to be wary of Han Sui Hou, Ma Chao resolutely blocked the riverside and fought head-on with Cao's army. His powerful cavalry attacked back and forth, making it difficult for Cao's army to breathe. Cao's army who landed on the shore was killed and retreated step by step. The screams made Cao Cao on the other side of the river clench his fists.

"Didn't it mean that Ma Chao is no longer prepared?" He looked sinister and stared at Yang Xiu fiercely.

Yang Xiu was puzzled and did not understand why things turned out like this, so he could only slowly lower his head.
Chapter completed!
