Chapter 266: 3 Kingdoms: Ma Chao has no brains
[Cao Cao was in his tent thinking about how to repel Ma Chao's Qiang soldiers. Suddenly, a plan came to his mind and he burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, God is helping me!"
Xu Chu was very puzzled and asked: "Prime Minister, the enemy has increased its forces and is even stronger. Why are you so happy?"
Cao Cao put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Hey, I'll explain it to you after we defeat the Qiang army."
He also asked Xu Huang if he had any good ideas.
Xu Huang: "...if we send a troop to secretly cross Puban Ferry and cut off the enemy's retreat route, the Prime Minister can send troops to Hebei to attack them...the situation will be dangerous."
Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said, "Well, I will order you to lead 4,000 elite soldiers with Zhu Ling to attack Hexi and ambush in the valley. After I cross the river, you can attack Ma Chao from both sides."
.....
On the other side, Ma Chao discussed matters with his father's sworn brother Han Sui.
Ma Chao said: "...I will lead an army to block the northern bank along the river, so that Cao's army cannot cross the river. Within 20 days, the food on the east side of the river will run out, and Cao's army will be in chaos. Then we can attack them along the river and capture them."
Han Sui disagreed: "The Art of War says: 'Attack the enemy halfway across the river.' You can set up an ambush on the shore, and when Cao's army is halfway across, you can attack them on the south bank, so that Cao's army will surely die inside the river."
At night, Xu Chu came to report that the sand city built during the day was completely blown down by the strong wind.
Cao Cao was a little anxious for a moment.
Suddenly he thought of something: "God is helping me! It's cold tonight, and water will freeze. Although the sand is loose, we can pour water to freeze it. Quickly order the soldiers to carry soil and water overnight. The city can be built within one night."
The next morning, Cao Cao personally looked at the ice city wall and felt it was very solid. He was very confident and satisfied.
Ma Chao and Han Sui each led their troops to Cao's camp.
Xu Chu and Ma Chao fought fiercely for more than a hundred rounds, but there was no clear winner.
Soon, Xu Chu appeared with his upper body naked again, sword in hand, mounted a new warhorse and rushed towards Ma Chao.
Ma Chao fought with him for several more rounds, but there was still no winner.
Cao Cao was afraid that Xu Chu might be in danger, so he ordered his army to go out. The soldiers from Xiliang fought with Cao's army, and Cao's army was defeated.
Cao Cao failed to cross the Wei River again, and under the protection of Xu Chu, he fled to the south bank and set up camp.
＜Cao Cao felt wronged, he didn’t even lose his beard during the Battle of Red Cliff, alas＞
＜Cao Cao smiles, the world is unpredictable [dog head]＞
＜Cheng Yu and Xu Huang: My Lord, have you forgotten the lesson of Red Cliff? Why are you still laughing???＞
＜God help me (NO)
God will punish me too (YES)＞
＜Sand City Transformed into Mixue Ice City＞
＜After the Battle of Red Cliff, Boss Cao also learned meteorology. He really made me cry＞
＜Ma Chao looks really handsome＞
＜Xu Chu fights Ma Chao naked＞
＜This is the peak of horse battles in the old Three Kingdoms＞
＜From here, it seems that Cao’s army is too useless＞
＜Han Sui is such a fool that he fell into a plot to sow discord＞
＜Ma Chao is also stupid, the two of them have different intentions, this alliance is full of loopholes＞
[Cao Cao, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Why is the Prime Minister laughing?]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: ...]
[Zhang Fei, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: You keep laughing, keep laughing, why don’t you laugh...? ]
[Tang Zhenguan Year 3 Qin Qiong: The battle between Xu Chu and Ma Chao is brilliant!]
[Cheng Yaojin in the third year of Tang Zhenguan: He always uses guns. I am looking forward to Zhao Yun and Ma Chao using them]

The Second Year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty
Zhang Fei patted Ma Chao's shoulder comfortingly, "Hey, isn't it just the Tiger Crazy Xu Chu? He was defeated by my men..."
Ma Chao looked up, not believing Zhang Fei's words: "You have fought him? Are you sure you won?"
"What, you don't believe me?" Zhang Fei stared.
Ma Chao was not stupid either, "I fought you before, and you didn't beat me..."
Zhang Fei stopped and muttered: "Ma Mengqi is not stupid, he reacts quite quickly..."
Ma Chao: “…”
I'm not stupid, nor am I deaf.

Cao Cao: “…”
Guangmu, you're not done yet, are you? It's been so long, and you're still talking about what happened at Red Cliff. It makes me sound like I don't like to listen to counselors, and I always act on my own and act arrogantly.
The generals around were talking about how they were not satisfied with the battle between Xu Chu and Ma Chao and they really wanted to see Ma Mengqi's martial arts.
......
[In the main military tent of Cao's camp on the south bank of the Wei River, Cao Cao had a detailed discussion with his adviser Jia Xu.
Cao Cao was quite impressed: "Ma Chao is as brave as Lu Bu was in his youth. To defeat Ma Chao, we have to use strategy and strategize." He then looked at Jia Xu and said, "I regard you as Zhang Liang and Chen Ping who revived the Han Dynasty. Why have you been so silent these days?"
Jia Xu remained calm: "Prime Minister, you are sure to win, why say more?"
Cao Cao seemed to be thinking about something and asked Jia Xu to sit opposite him.
Jia Xu then proposed a plan to sow discord between the two parties, and Cao Cao wrote a letter to Han Sui, inviting him to a conversation.
Ma Chao and Han Sui discussed the matter of Cao Cao for a long time, but they both held different opinions and could not reach a consensus. Moreover, Ma Chao had long been dissatisfied with Han Sui.
Cao Cao and Jia Xu walked down the city wall, and the Xiliang soldiers standing guard outside the city looked at Cao Cao curiously.
They whispered to each other: "Hey? Which one is Cao Cao?"
"The one in the red robe."
The gate of Tongguan was opened, Han Sui rode out, and Cao Cao chatted with him. He deliberately chatted and laughed with Han Sui so that the Xiliang soldiers could see this scene.
When Ma Chao returned to Tongguan, he had already learned about Han Sui's contact with Cao Cao, and he became even more wary and dissatisfied with Han Sui.
The next day, Han Sui went to the front of the battle line to call Cao Cao to answer questions in order to prove his innocence, so that Ma Chao could rush out and kill Cao Cao. When Han Sui called Cao Cao to the front of the battle line, Cao Hong said, "General Han! What the Prime Minister said in the letter last night must not be wrong."
After hearing this, Ma Chao immediately charged at Han Sui from behind with his spear. Han Sui was protected at all costs by his subordinates, so Ma Chao had to leave in anger.
At this point, Han Sui and his men surrendered to Cao Cao and decided to capture Ma Chao alive and present him to Cao Cao. When Ma Chao learned about this, he killed Han Sui and his men. At this time, Cao's army entered the city.
Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Pang De led the remaining troops to Lintao in Longxi. 】
＜After Lü Bu's death, it also became a unit of measurement, and people praised generals for their bravery, hahaha＞
＜This time Jia Xu's EQ is really high. He knew Cao Cao already had a plan, so he didn't say it explicitly. If it was Yang Xiu, he would definitely show off here [eating melon]＞
＜Ma Chao has a very bad reputation in history＞
＜The soldiers looked at Cao Cao here, which made me laugh. “The one wearing the red robe is Cao Cao”＞
＜Ma Chao’s emotional intelligence is indeed low＞
＜If Ma Chao had a counselor by his side, he wouldn't be so lonely＞
＜Ma Chao is just a Lu Bu, brave but not wise＞
＜Jia Xu's old silver coin is too damaged and too poisonous＞
＜Ma Chao is called Little Lu Bu for a reason [狗头]＞
＜At least Lu Bu has Chen Gong by his side, but Ma Chao really has no one [covering his face]＞
[Ma Teng, the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: My son! Han Sui, you old dog!]
[Zhang Fei in the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Well, little Lü Bu... you can't call him that. There is a difference between Lü Bu, a slave of three surnames, and us Meng Qi...]
[In the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty, Ma Chao: [Shocked]]

The relationship between Ma Teng and Han Sui is also very intriguing. The two were once brothers, but later attacked and killed each other.
Although Ma Teng disliked Ma Chao, he was still his son after all! He could not let others bully him. Ma Teng was even more dissatisfied with Han Sui. If Han Sui had not fallen into the trap, how could Ma Chao have been defeated?
Thinking of this, he wondered why Ma Chao had such a good relationship with Han Sui. You know, Ma Chao almost died at the hands of Han Sui's general Yan Xing.
Xu Chang
Cao Cao thought to himself, it’s a good thing that Chen Gong is not with Ma Chao, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with him.
A general who is brave but not wise can be defeated with a little strategy, but a general who is brave but not wise but has counselors is very troublesome.
