After watching Cao's army board the bamboo raft, Ma Chao planned to escape like this. He immediately asked the crossbowman on the river bank to shoot arrows.

Waves of rapid rain of arrows shot out like rain.

Cao's army, who had already boarded the bamboo raft, fell into the river one by one.

Xu Chu was afraid that the chaos army would sank Cao Cao's ship, so he kept shouting loudly.

He waved his sword and kept blocking the sharp arrows like raindrops, and at the same time he shouted loudly around him, barely maintaining the discipline of the army.

Seeing this, Ma Chao bent his bow and arrows himself.

He shot out a series of arrows, and 10 people were shot into the water.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao is already a little far from his effective range.

Xu Chu on the river, I was still on the other side of the river, gritting my teeth and feeling great comfort.

"Okay, Prime Minister, we finally escaped this time!" Xu Chu shouted happily.

"good……"

Cao Cao agreed weakly. He felt that he was about to faint on the boat and could not be happy at all.

After Xu Chu laughed wildly, he didn't dare to stay here too much. He raised his might and paddled with both hands.

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to escape from the heavens, Ma Chao stopped doing it, and she was unwilling to let it go.

"The whole army obeys the order. If you can't kill Cao thief today, you will be a man in Xiliang!"

Ma Chao was determined to burn his boats. He led the army to launch a charge, intending to stop Cao Cao's ships downstream.

However, at this moment, Ma Dai next to him discovered something unexpected.

"General, look at what is running all over the mountains and fields there?"

Under Ma Dai's reminder, Ma Chao saw a group of cattle and horses galloping across the hillside in the distance.

Before Ma Chao could react, why did such a strange scene suddenly appear? He suddenly heard his subordinates making jubilant voices.

"not good……"

Ma Chao was shocked. He realized what kind of results would be caused to his subordinates if these cattle and sheep appeared.

Cattle, horses and livestock are something that is enough to make people crazy for the people of Xiliang.

When the people of Xiliang saw this scene, they immediately became crazy. They had no intention of chasing Cao Cao, but instead went to grab these cattle and horses.

No matter how Ma Chao scolded him, he could not stop such a situation.

Just when he was in chaos, Cao Cao's ship had disappeared in front of him.

"A evil thief, traitor!"

Although Ma Chao was a reckless man, he also understood at this time that it was obvious that someone deliberately used these cattle and horses to interfere with his army.

Such a plan is really not a good man, but he was furious when Ma Chao, a Jin of Xiliang, was teased like this repeatedly.

What's even more annoying happened after everyone snatched the cattle and horse.

These guys even came to Ma Chao with great help.

A kind of sorrow arises naturally, and a kind of indignation makes him want to draw his sword and kill someone.

"brute!"

"waste!"

Ma Chao raised the horse whip in his hand and whipped at several lieutenants beside him. These guys had just participated in the snatch of cattle and horses, and they were the favorites they had snatched.

"God of life, General!"

Ma Chao's subordinates hurriedly ran around to avoid Ma Chao's whip. They didn't even understand why Ma Chao was so angry.

Even though Ma Chao hated him, he then beat the Xiliang soldiers with a whip.

But it is useless to the overall situation.

...

Ma Chao led everyone back to the camp dejectedly. When Han Sui saw him, he hurried over and asked him what was going on.

Ma Chao said coldly: "I almost killed Cao Cao today, but I didn't expect to encounter some accidents one after another."

Han Sui hurriedly asked what was going on, and Ma Chao told him what happened today.

Cao Cao really wanted to lead his troops to cross the river and then come behind them.

Ma Chao did follow Zhuge Liang's plan and waited until Cao's army had already boarded the ship before he launched a surprise attack.

As a result, at the beginning, Xu Chu turned the tide and saved Cao Cao, but then no one even released cattle, sheep and livestock, and cut off Ma Chao's capture of Cao Cao, and the last glimmer of hope.

After hearing this, Han Sui said thoughtfully: "I heard that Cao Cao had an elite personal guard beside him, named Tiger Guard, and he was commanding an elite man who seemed to be Xu Chu, and he was called Tiger Maniac!"

"If you meet again next time, you must not underestimate the enemy!"

Ma Chao nodded and said, "I have also heard that this man is extremely brave and powerful. He is the most respected general of Cao Cao, but I want to compete with him."

Han Sui noticed that Ma Chao had put away his contempt for Cao's army, which made him very pleased.

What he didn't know was that the reason why Ma Chao had a change was because he had seen Cao Peng and Xu Chu.

When they first entered the Central Plains, the Western Liang army was as powerful as a bamboo shoot, and broke Chang'an and went to Tongguan. Ma Chao once thought that Cao's army was just a group of native chickens and tiles.

It was not until after fighting with Cao Peng that he met Xu Chu again that his arrogant mind was a little restrained.

Han Sui said: "There are these patterns in Cao Cao's army. I think this war can't be delayed anymore. We must make a decision quickly. We will launch an attack tomorrow!"

Before Ma Chao could answer, a voice came from outside the door.

"General Han's words are reasonable, and I suggest that we launch an attack from Cao Ren guarding the direction tomorrow."

Ma Chao was very familiar with this voice until the tent door opened, and he indeed saw Zhuge Liang shaking the feather fan lightly.

"Sir, it's just right. Let's give us a detailed explanation of what to do tomorrow."

After hearing Ma Chao's words, Zhuge Liang smiled faintly.

"Meng Qi, I suspect that the person who came up with a strange plan in Cao's camp was Cao Peng who fought with you that day."

Ma Chao was stunned and said immediately: "That guy is extremely brave and mighty, he should be a general. I don't think he should be such a despicable and shameless person!"

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang didn't know what to say, so he could only say that Ma Chao was too naive.

However, he was also very disgusted with Cao Peng, so he continued to follow the conversation: "That guy is hypocritical, looks like a real person, he is a complete hypocrite. General Meng Qi must not show mercy next time he sees him."

Ma Chaoda nodded suddenly and realized that Cao Peng's strange words were actually to deceive him.

"Don't worry, sir. I won't ask sir to make arrangements so naively. What should we do next?"

It was Zhuge Liang's performance again. He gently waved the goose feather fan, and a momentum that guided the country came out of his body.

"This time I suggest that General Han leads the army to garrison the camp, General Meng Qi leads the army to attack, and then let Pang De be the vanguard, and the next thing is enough to deal with the next move."
