Cao Shu led his army to leave Shouchun and advanced all the way northwest.

The army was moving, and a fast horse ran from a distance.

The fast horse was getting closer and closer, and Cao Shu saw clearly that there was a fire Wu on the horse's back.

When he came to Cao Shu, Huo Wu jumped off his horse and bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, Cao Gong went to Xiliang to fight for the war, and he had led a large army to retreat to Chang'an. The three generals of Cao Hong, Xu Huang and Zhong Yao were also captured by the Xiliang army. Ma Chao and Han Suizheng led their troops to Chang'an."

"I understand." Cao Shu waved his hand.

After Huo Wu retreated, Cao Shu said to Guo Jia beside him: "Ma Chao, Han Sui played well in this game."

"Mr. Cao retreated to Chang'an. Seeing that Ma Chao and Han Sui were about to come to the city, the young master didn't want to rush to help, why did he praise them instead?" Guo Jia asked in surprise.

"It's not a compliment, I just find it interesting." Cao Shuo said: "They are surrounded by powerful generals under his father, so why are they chased and beaten?"

"Maybe it was because Mr. Cao was careless." Guo Jia replied: "It may also be because the military rations are insufficient."

"If the military rations are not prepared enough, wouldn't it be allocated from another place?" Cao Shu frowned slightly.

"If it is really because of military rations, it is really necessary to be allocated from another place." Guo Jia said: "Ma Chao, Han Sui don't do anything else. Just mobilize the army to Chang'an and siege the city. If the military rations are not transported, Cao Gong will leave the city sooner or later to fight."

After Guo Jia's analysis, Cao Shu suddenly felt something was wrong.

If Cao Cao really lacks food, his morale will sooner or later be disbanded.

No matter how many troops the Cao army has, it is impossible to defeat Ma Chao and Han Sui.

In the battle of Chang'an, Cao Cao was really in danger.

Thinking of this, he shouted to the back: "Send the order and speed up the entire army. Be sure to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible!"

The order was issued and the army accelerated its march.

Cao Shu was still leading his army to Chang'an, Ma Teng and Han Sui had already arrived outside Chang'an City.

The Xiliang army lined up outside the city, and Ma Chao and Han Sui stood together, looking at the closed Chang'an city gate.

"General Han, do you think Cao Cao will go out of the city to fight?" Ma Chao asked.

Han Sui smiled indifferently and asked Ma Chao: "Dare you ask why Cao Cao withdraws his troops?"

"Food and grass." Ma Chao said: "If it weren't for the lack of food and grass, Xiliang would still be in trouble now."

"Since it's because of the food and grass, should he allocate it from various places?" Han Sui asked again.

Looking at Han Sui, Ma Chao held his lips slightly: "We have been delaying this time in Tongguan. Haven't the food and grass come to Chang'an yet?"

"Where can we allocate food and grass from just over a dozen days?" Han Sui said: "Don't worry, the food and grass allocated by Cao Cao is still on the way. There is insufficient food and grass in Chang'an City, so he will leave the city sooner or later to fight."

After Han Sui's analysis, Ma Chao felt much more relieved.

Looking at Chang'an City, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, at the head of Chang'an City, Cao Cao led a group of staff and the general looked outside the city.

The Xiliang Army was lined up outside the city, but they had no intention of attacking.

"Gongda." Cao Cao greeted Xun You and asked him: "What do you think Ma Chao and Han Sui want to do? Why did he refuse to attack the city when he came here?"

"They are not as many as our army. They surrounded Chang'an just to trap Cao Gong to death." Xun You said: "The city is short of food, and even if they stick to it, they may not be able to wait for the eldest son to rush to help."

"What do you mean is that we must go out of the city to fight?" Cao Cao asked.

"That's right." Xun You said: "If you go out of the city, you will win if you can win, and if you can't win, you will defend if you can't. If you don't help, you can lead your army to break through. Our army is more than them. Could it be that we are still afraid of them?"

"What do you think?" Cao Cao asked the others.

Everyone said, "We will discuss it."

The staff all felt that it was time to go out of the city to fight, and Cao Cao frowned.

Before he decided whether to fight, Xu Chu next to him said, "Since he became the first to serve Cao Gong, he has not made any contribution. Please allow me to go out of the city to challenge Ma Chao."

"Zhongkang is leaving the city?" Cao Cao asked, looking at Xu Chu.

"Please allow Cao Gong to be allowed." Xu Chu said: "I often just stay by my side when Cao Gong conquered all directions. Now that I have city guards, I don't have to worry too much. I just ask Cao Gong to allow me to leave the city and challenge Ma Chao."

Xu Chu's martial arts brave Cao Cao was also very clear about it.

In the past, he always brought Xu Chu by his side as a guard.

Although he was given the position of commander of the Hu Ben Army, Xu Chu had never led the troops.

Xu Chu asked for a fight, but Cao Cao was reluctant but couldn't bear to refuse directly.

After thinking for a while, he said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang must be very careful when he goes to fight."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for your accomplishment!" Cao Cao let go, Xu Chu thanked him, turned his head and stepped down from the city wall.

Not long after, the gate of Chang'an City opened and Xu Chu rode his horse out.

In the Xiliang Army camp, Ma Chao and Han Sui got off the horse and were about to rest in the tent, a soldier ran over.

"Report to the two generals, a general Cao came out of Chang'an City." The soldier saluted and said, "The general Cao asked General Ma to fight with him."

"Who is so arrogant?" Han Sui said: "How dare you name Meng Qi and fight with him?"

"This person's name is Xu Chu, and he is said to be the commander of the Hu Ben Army under Cao Cao's command." The soldier replied.

"Xu Chu, I know him." Ma Chao said: "I have met him once or twice before."

I heard that the challenge was Xu Chu, and Han Sui's face looked a little unfair.

He said to Ma Chao: "Xu Chu is a capable person, so Meng Qi should ignore it."

"Ignore it?" Ma Chaoxin was arrogant. The more Han Sui said that Xu Chu was capable, the more he was dissatisfied. He sneered and said, "General Han just watch it, I'll go and meet him."

He ordered the soldiers to get the battle halberd, and Ma Chao got on his horse and went out of the battle.

Xu Chu shouted and cursed for a while before he saw Ma Chao walking out from behind the Xiliang Army formation.

Seeing Ma Chao, he shouted: "Ma Mengqi, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Why did you come out now? Could it be that you are afraid?"

"I'm afraid of you?" Ma Chao laughed: "I'm just thinking about which one is desperate to challenge, but I didn't expect that I still know him."

"Since I know you, why don't you dismount and surrender quickly and let me tie you up to see Mr. Cao?" Xu Chu said: "Don't wait for me to get angry. I will cut you over with one knife before I will regret it."

"What a big tone." Ma Chao said with a sneer: "You come and die, I will do it. Just say these big words to whom?"

"You are unwilling to surrender, and I will be killed by you. Don't blame me for not thinking about your old friend's friendship." Xu Chu swung his big sword and rushed towards Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was not outdone, and waved his halberd to fight towards him.

The two fought outside Chang'an City.

Xu Chu and Ma Chao are both world-class generals. They have equal martial arts skills and are difficult to solve for a while.
