Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

Ma Chao hit the table with his fist, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

He hates why there are so many famous generals in the Wei army.

Pull out a random general, like Ding Feng, who is so knowledgeable that he dares to make arbitrary decisions and burn down the warship.

"God, you're unfair!"

"Why are you blind, favoring the thief Cao like this?"

Ma Chao looked up to the sky and cursed.

Fazheng wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how to speak.

Ma Yunlu sighed:"Brother, Yan Liang's army has been wiped out. It's meaningless for us to besiege Shaanxi City anymore. It's better to return to Guanzhong."

Fazheng fell silent and had nothing to do.

Ma Chaokong was unwilling to do anything about it, but he had nothing to do at this moment. There was no way, Yan Liang's entire army was wiped out, and Fazheng's plan to attack Lu Meng by land and water was completely in vain.

And Shaanxi City could not be captured for a long time. At that time, Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 troops. How could he resist it?

He had no choice but to retreat to Guanzhong and switch from offense to defense.

"Alas, now that things have come to a point, we can only return to Guanzhong.……"

Ma Chao shook his head and sighed.

"Who says we have to return to Guanzhong!"

A confident voice suddenly sounded outside the tent.

The curtain was lifted, and Zhang Song stepped into the tent with a confident look on his face.

"Zhang Yongnian?"

"You are not in Chang'an, why did you come to the front line? Ma

Chao said curiously.

Zhang Song cupped his hands and said with a smile:"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I am here to help you defeat Cao Cao's thieves!" Ma

Chao perked up and asked urgently:"Yongnian, do you have any clever ideas?""

Zhang Song spoke unhurriedly.

"Cao Cao has captured Xin'an, and his army will surely march westward and take Tongguan directly."

"However, although Cao Cao's thieves had many soldiers and horses, and the cavalry was extremely elite, their lack of numbers was their disadvantage."

"I thought, why don't we use the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army to severely damage the Wei Army on the spot."

The Black Mountain Army!

Ma Chao looked shocked and asked curiously:"The Black Mountain Army is far away in the Taihang Mountains, how can it be used by us?"

"Then Cao Cao implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness in the Taihang Mountains, so that the Black Mountain Army had nowhere to plunder food and grass."

"So a few days ago, Zhang Yan led tens of thousands of Montenegrin troops through Hedong County and came to join the king via Pubang Pass."

"Most of the Montenegro army is cavalry, and this new force is just for the prince's use!"

Zhang Song smiled and explained the reason.

"Unexpectedly, the Montenegro Army came to surrender. This is really a blessing from God!"

The clouds on Ma Chao's face cleared away, and he laughed wildly and said:"Quickly send the order, transfer Zhang Yan to lead the Black Mountain Army, and come to Hongnong to help in the battle!"

"promise!"

The order was passed.

Ma Chao led 100,000 Qin troops, abandoned the siege of Shaanxi City, and retreated to Tongguan.

At the same time, Zhang Yan was also ordered to lead 40,000 Black Mountain cavalry to Tongguan for instructions.

The Qin army retreated, and the Wei army retreated. Without losing any blood, they recaptured all the cities in Hongnong, including Shaanxi City.

A few days later, the army met in Shaanxi City.

Cao Cao held a banquet in the palace to express condolences to Huang Zhong, the minister who had contributed the most. After the whole army rested for a few days, Cao Cao said Under the order, 200,000 Wei troops marched straight to Tongguan.

It was early winter.

The Wei army approached Tongguan.

Ma Chao had already taken the lead in retreating to Shangguan City and could not hold on.

When the Wei army approached the pass, they set up camp nearby and the camp was ten miles away.

The army The camp was set up.

Cao Cao and Cao Yuan, together with their advisors and generals, climbed to a hill east of Tongguan and looked down at the situation in Tongguan.

On Zhuma Hill, the world-famous Tongguan was in full view.

To the south of Tongguan City is the Qinling Mountains Yumai, to the north is the rolling Yellow River, and the Guancheng is set up at the valley pass between the mountains and rivers.

This pass is so dangerous that it is not an exaggeration to say that one man can pass it, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

"Tongguan is indeed the most dangerous pass in the world!"

Cao Cao sighed with emotion.

Cao Yuan said calmly:"Danger or not, let's attack first and test the strength of the Qin army before we talk.

Cao Cao nodded slightly:"The prince's words make sense. Let's attack first and see.""

So.

At dawn the next day, Cao Cao mobilized 40,000 troops to launch an attack on Tongguan.

As expected, he returned without success.

Ma Chao relied on the dangerous position of Tongguan and 100,000 troops to calmly block the Wei army's attack. Offensive.

The Wei army suffered nearly a thousand casualties, but not even a single soldier was able to reach Guancheng.

The truth was clear, and Cao Cao no longer wasted his soldiers, so he ordered a halt to the attack.

At dusk, all the advisers and generals gathered. into the imperial tent.

Cao Cao asked the ministers who had a clever plan to break the pass.

While the ministers were waiting for discussion,

Dian Wei hurried in and presented the latest information sent from the pass.

Cao Cao waved his hand slightly and signaled Dian Wei read it directly

"According to my detailed report, the Black Mountain army Zhang Yan ran out of food and grass and had no food to capture, so he led the Black Mountain bandit army to Guanzhong and defected to Ma Teng."

"Ma Teng has transferred all 40,000 Black Mountain cavalry to Tongguan, waiting for Ma Chao's dispatch."

This news immediately shocked the generals.

Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.

Ma Chao's Qin army in Tongguan originally numbered 100,000.

Now, there are more than 40,000 more Black Mountain troops, and The gap in the number of Wei soldiers has been greatly reduced.

What's more, these 40,000 Heishan troops are all cavalry.

You know, the Qin army was originally dominated by the Xiliang army, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry in the army.

Now another 40,000 Heishan troops are added The number of cavalry of the Qin army reached nearly 50,000 to 60,000.

Although the cavalry of the Wei Dynasty had the speed advantage of red rabbit horses, their number was only more than 20,000.

In terms of cavalry, the Qin army had all the advantages.

All the generals were more or less afraid for a while.

"Forty thousand Montenegrin troops are a bit of a headache.……"

Cao Cao murmured to himself and scratched his forehead.

Cao Yuan smiled disdainfully:"There are only tens of thousands of Black Mountain bandits. Back then, Yuan Shao's army was five times ours, but we still destroyed it. Now there are only tens of thousands more Black Mountain troops. What should my father be afraid of!

" These words were like a shot in the arm for Cao Cao, which immediately lifted his spirits.

The fighting spirit of the generals in the tent was rekindled

"What the prince said makes sense!"

"Back then, we were outnumbered and outnumbered, and we were greatly disparate in strength. I was able to destroy Yuan Shao."

"What's more, in today's situation, even if Ma Chao gets help from the Black Mountain Army, my army will still be larger than the Qin Army."

"Moreover, I have the help of a wise and brave son of Qilin like you, the prince!"

Cao Cao's pride aroused wildly.

In the big tent, all the generals responded, and their fighting spirit surged.

Cao Yuan took advantage of the situation and raised his hand:"Father, I have thought of a strategy, and I will take advantage of the situation to annihilate the 40,000 Black Mountain Army. In Hongnong County!"
