Because Han Sui only wanted to threaten Cao Cao, he felt afraid and maintained the status quo of Xiliang.

Because he was afraid that he would be completely evil if he beat Cao Cao, Han Sui was always held back when fighting with Cao's army. Even when he was superior, he did not achieve any results. Therefore, he did not have a decent record and instead killed many soldiers by Cao's army.

Ma Chao and Cao Cao not only had a grudge against killing his father, but also had ambitions to separatist the entire northwest and become a big force, comparable to Liu Bei and Sun Quan. This time he was serious in the name of avenging his father. His subordinates used their lives and did their best in every battle!

Ma Chao defeated Cao's army many times and made contributions. This time he and Han Sui attacked Cao Cao on both sides of the Wei River. He chased Cao Cao and fled from the south bank to the north bank in a panic.

If Han Sui could also let go of his hands and feet, break away from Cao's defense on the shore, so that they had no place to stand on the north shore, then Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops would have to escape in the river.

It is now winter, the climate is getting colder, the river is biting cold, and Cao Cao's army and horses are not familiar with the nature of water, so the losses must be heavy!

Because Han Sui, the chief general, was worried about gains and losses, did not have the confidence to win, and left room for attack, he could not break through the defensive formation in one go. It just gave Cao's army time to cross the river to strengthen the formation, and the "half-crossing attack" could not get the desired effect.

Han Sui commanded tens of thousands of cavalry in the eight divisions of Xiliang, but did not shake the infantry defensive formation that Cao Cao had rushingly arranged on the shore, and the number of people was far above Cao's army, which made him very embarrassed, and his reputation among the Xiliang army naturally dropped to a low point.

Now Ma Chao was dissatisfied and directly asked him to continue the attack. As the leader of the alliance, Han Sui was pointed out by the deputy leader. Although he was not happy, he did not have the face to refuse to avoid the battle. He said to Ma Chao:

"Xu Huang's banner only appeared from afar. Maybe it was because the young army was young. When he saw his nephew leading the army, he left long ago without any shadow. There was no need to pursue him. It was better for the nephew to lead the army to rest first. Just guard our army camp. I led my own army to attack Cao Cao, so that he could not set up camp on the north bank."

Although Ma Chao was dissatisfied with Han Sui's passive and lazy battle, he was the leader of the alliance and did not dare to go too far. Seeing that he agreed to continue attacking Cao Cao, he could not really sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Han Sui was really defeated, which was not good for him, so he said to Han Sui:

"I commanded tens of thousands of troops, but my uncle guarded the camp. I was afraid that Yang Qiu and other eight troops would be dissatisfied. I ordered Pang De to lead 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard and follow his uncle to attack Cao Cao's army, which had not yet established a foothold."

When Han Sui saw Ma Chao send his first brave general Pang De to his front, he rectified the eight troops and drove the remaining 40,000 troops out, and came to the Cao army formation together.

Han Sui was born cautious. Seeing Cao Cao's army and horses waiting for battle, he became suspicious and hesitated.

Cao Cao had already been ready to get in. When he saw that the cavalry of Xiliang stopped moving forward, he ordered the generals to yell and swear on both sides of the corridor.

When Pang De saw that Cao's army had not yet established a stable foothold, he actually took the initiative to seek war, and he also felt that something was wrong. However, he was sent by Ma Chao to be the vanguard to play the role of charge. If he did not move due to doubts, then this attack would be abandoned halfway.

Although Pang De had to attack, he did not dare to take too much risk, so he led more than a thousand iron cavalry to clash with Cao's army.

He rushed to the vicinity of the corridor and the shouts came, and Pang De and dozens of iron-armored knights beside him fell into the trap.

Pang De was prepared for suspected Cao Cao had a trap and was ambushed. He was not panicked when he fell into the trap. He jumped out of the pit, stood on the ground, and fought with a long sword in his hand, and immediately killed several Cao troops who came to attack.

Although the Cao army soldiers were not afraid of death and kept coming to intercept them, Pang De was very skilled in martial arts, bravely aroused his courage, and walked all the way out of the siege.

Han Sui followed Pang De's charge, because Pang De's army fell into a trap first, Han Sui's men and horses promptly stopped the horses and did not fall into the trap.

But his luck was not much better. He was taken care of by the army and horses sent by Cao Cao. Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren went out together to cut off his rear army. He had only dozens of cavalry to follow him and was trapped in Gaixin by hundreds of cavalry in the center of Gai. Han Sui clashed and could not break out of the encirclement.

Pang De saw Han Sui being surrounded and walked to rescue him. He was intercepted by Cao Yong, the general of Cao Ren, who was stabbed by Pang De and took his horse and killed him. He fought with him inside and outside to rescue Han Sui, went down the river and headed southeast.

Cao's soldiers came from behind, but fortunately Ma Chao led his army to respond, killed Cao's soldiers and rescued most of the troops.

The two armies fought until dusk, and each retreated and planned to take some troops. Han then lost thousands of troops, as well as Cheng Yin and Zhang Heng, which were very sad.

Pang De took the lead in charge. Although he was spared, there were more than 200 dead in the pit behind him. These soldiers were all elite soldiers selected from one in a hundred and suffered considerable losses.

Ma Chao discussed with Han Sui:

"If the migration is delayed for a long time, Cao Cao will set up a camp in Hebei and it will be difficult to retreat; if the stalemate continues, our army will have insufficient food and grass and can only retreat. Why not lead the light cavalry to rob Cao Cao's temporary camping tonight, or you can win in one battle and drive Cao Cao back to the other side."

Han Sui was unfavorable after repeated battles and no longer had the face to reject Ma Chao's plan, but for his own safety, he still suggested:

"Cao Cao is like a god in his army, and he is afraid he is prepared. He must divide his troops and advance and rescue each other."

Ma Chao followed him and led Pang De and Ma Dai, Cheng Yi as the front unit, and Han Sui was the back responding. At the beginning of the night, he led the army and then went on.

Cao Cao withdrew his troops and stationed in the temporary camp on the north bank, and called the generals to order:

"Ma Chao, Han Sui bullies me before setting up a shed, and will come to rob the camp tonight. You can scatter the ambushing troops and empty the army. When the cannons fire, all the ambushing troops will rise, and Han Sui and Ma Chao will be captured in one drum."

The generals followed the order and had their ambushed and waited for the enemy to come and rob the camp.

At the second update of the night, Ma Chao received Han Sui's reminder. Fearing to be ambushed by Cao Cao, he first asked Cheng Yi to lead hundreds of cavalry to the outpost. Cheng Yi saw that there were no people in the camp, so he went straight into the central army to check. He saw that all the ambushed soldiers around him were in sight and was about to warn Ma Chao.

Seeing that the ambush had been discovered, and another Western Liang army entered the central army tent, Cao Cao ordered the launch of cannons. All the ambushers from all sides came out, and only surrounded Chengyi's hundreds of cavalry. Chengyi was caught off guard and was killed by Xiahou Yuan.

Seeing that Cao Cao's ambush had already come out, Ma Chao did not go to rescue Cheng Yi, but from behind Cao's army, he swarmed with Pang De and Ma Dai's troops in three groups. The two soldiers fought in a melee. The enemy and us could not be distinguished in the darkness, and each had its own injuries until dawn, and they each withdrew their troops.

Ma Chao stationed his troops at Weikou, divided his troops day and night, attacking Cao Cao from the front and back, making it impossible for him to set up a camp calmly.

Cao Cao had no choice but to remember the series of plans that Pang Tong had proposed during the Red Cliff. He was not afraid of Ma Chao's fire attack in the Wei River, so he used three buoyant bridges to connect the north and south sides.

Cao Ren led his army to set up a village along the river and connected the food and grass vehicles to make a barrier.

When Ma Chao saw Cao Cao's camp, Han Sui agreed to a plan, and each of them carried a bunch of grass and brought a fire. Ma Chao and Han Sui led their troops to fight to the front of the camp, piled up grass and set off a fire.

Seeing the fire spread, Cao Cao was afraid of Zhou Yu's use of fire, so he had to abandon the village and leave. The car and the floating bridge were all burned.

The Xiliang army won a great victory and intercepted the Wei River. Cao Cao could not set up a camp and was worried.

Jia Xu offered his advice:

"You can use the sand and soil of the Wei River to build a city and set up camps to defend it."

Cao Cao was dissuaded and sent tens of thousands of soldiers to carry the earth to build a city. Ma Chao sent Pang De and Ma Dai to lead more than a thousand horse troops to clash. The earth city was not solid and fell down as soon as it rushed, and Cao Cao had no choice but to do anything.
