Ma Chao also knew their thoughts, after all, it was when it was already. They had woken up from their sleep, and then it was now. So even though it had been several hours, nothing happened now, so the first thing they thought of was naturally not something else, but sleep and have a good rest. Ma Chao knew, knew, and understood. Originally, he actually thought so, and he wanted to have a good rest. So after they left, Ma

Chao also hurried back to rest. At least at this time, he could sleep much more peacefully than outside Hangu Pass, Ma Chao thought. So on the couch, he fell asleep not long after. This was really rare to fall asleep. Outside the pass, he could only sleep half-sleep, almost that way. And inside the pass, he could sleep well. After all, there was no Yanzhou army now, you are still waiting for them.

Come back? Just kidding, so it is absolutely a rare time for Ma Chao to sleep well. And those who really know him know that his lord is absolutely rare, otherwise, it wouldn't be too good to rest every time. After all, marching and fighting, or others come to attack cities and seize the pass, and this lord is actually really, it's normal for Ma Chao to rest well.

I have long been used to this, even Cao Cao and the others are the same. On the night of the second day, when Ma Chao invited everyone, everyone arrived. After seeing everyone sitting down, Ma Chao said, "Everyone, after less than a month of hard work, Hangu Pass has finally returned to us again!" When everyone heard this, they quickly said in unison: "Congratulations to the lord! Congratulations to the lord!" Of course, the rest of the lords are the only ones who call him, Zhang Ren, called General Ma Chao, like this.

Later Ma Chao continued, "Indeed, it is inseparable from your efforts, so here I would like to pay tribute to you first!" As he said, Ma Chao was raising his lord and drank with everyone. After that, Ma Chao specifically mentioned Zhang Ren and praised Zhang Ren, but did not toast alone. After all, Zhang Ren's achievements were not as good as Ma Chao. Before, everyone was everyone, that was a must

Yes, but Zhang Ren is gone. Finally, Ma Chao said to everyone: "Everyone, everyone eats and drinks well. We will not return tonight without getting drunk!" After that, Ma Chao signaled everyone to start eating, "No!" And he himself started. Ma Chao knew that if he didn't move, no one would move. That's it, there was nothing he could do. But Ma Chao was not here to eat and drink, but look

He was really happy in his heart as everyone was like. It can be said that Ma Chao is like this almost every time. He doesn't feel anything when he sees drinking and eating, but he does feel it when he sees everyone eating and drinking. Ma Chao thinks that people like quietness, they like quietness and not moving. And his subordinates are naturally clear and know what his lord looks like, so it is true that he must admit that he definitely doesn't like how lively, doesn't like watching the fun, and doesn't like joining in the fun, this is

The real Ma Chao. But how to say it, even if it is true, Ma Chao still likes to watch them eat and drink and watch them lively. This is the master. How to say it, it is not just having fun with everyone, but it is not much the same. After all, eating and drinking is not their food. Ma Chao is watching there, let alone Ma Chao is eating there, and then everyone is watching there. So

Yes, everyone is together, Ma Chao thinks it is very good. Even if the family was together in the past, Ma Chao never said this. After all, there are not many family members here now, not to mention that even all the members are not eating together, this is very important. At least this banquet is for Ma Chao to host all his generals and reward all his soldiers, but he and the generals eat together, but he is just the best, that's it. Otherwise, such a banquet is actually very good, even if it is still divided into the upper and lower levels.

But it definitely brought the distance between each other. Why do you say that? It's because everyone is together, this is very important. Of course, close to Ma Chao's position, on the right, these are all clearly class status. Think about it, it's actually very normal. But when you go back and forth, this brings everyone closer, which is a little good. Just look at Zhang Ren, he and several people drink a first jue. At this time, he is so kind. Ma Chao drinks you, will you drink? Cui An and others have

You drink, do you drink? So Zhang Ren actually has no other way. If you say that on weekdays, is there such a thing? Not to mention drinking together, it will be hard to say a few words. At most, nodded and it’s over. So I have to say that Ma Chao’s banquet has played a role in Zhang Ren, so let alone other people, right? Because of those, that

They are really too familiar, too familiar. If they are unfamiliar with Zhang Ren, then the others will definitely be very familiar with each other. This is inevitable, so you have to admit this, the benefits of holding a banquet? Ma Chao also saw Zhang Ren and several people drinking together. He just nodded and smiled, thinking that this banquet is good and can always bring everyone a distance.

When the news of Hangu Pass being broken reached Xudu, Cao Cao sighed and sighed. He couldn't say that he was not like this. Just say that from his original intention, he certainly hoped that Hangu Pass could always be in his own hands and was occupied by him, rather than being stolen by the Liangzhou army. If this time, it would be basically impossible to take it back again, Cao Cao thought. So he knew that Hangu Pass, this time, was completely lost, which could definitely be said to be a long-term impact on his own side.

To be honest, I can't say I won't give up. Why? It's because I have to do this, and this is also a helpless choice. First, there is not much food and grass at Hangu Pass. When Ma Chao Liangzhou's army came to attack, it was just over a month, almost that way. So in that case, unless the grain was adjusted from Xudu, where would the grain be adjusted? Other places,

That's not Sili's territory? So they are short of food. Can we distribute grain to Hangu Pass from other places occupied by Sili? Obviously, Cao Cao would never do that, and he would not be able to do that. Therefore, on the first aspect, the problem of food and grass is difficult to solve. It is difficult to solve, not to say that it is really impossible to solve. But secondly, there is a problem with one side when it is closed.

There are 10,000 troops, but in the face of the attack of 100,000 Liangzhou troops, Cao Cao naturally knew that Hangu Pass was not enough. So if he wanted to defend the Qiang Pass and wanted to keep Hangu Pass, he had to solve the problem of food and grass first, and the second, solve the problem of people and horses. The last problem, the third, was that he really solved these two problems. In the end, he really fought with the Liangzhou army at Hangu Pass. But fighting there was obviously not what Cao Cao wanted, and he didn't want to do anything, so in the end, Hangu Pass was not given up.

Is it possible? Xu Huang didn't expect it, but many people understood what his lord meant, but they didn't say much, because they knew that his lord was doing the right thing. Cao Cao didn't even ask someone to tell Xu Huang that he had given up Hangu Pass because he still said that he knew Xu Huang. Once he said this, he would tell his soldiers, and then the result... Of course, Cao Cao knew it too,

He could kill Xu Huang directly, so that he would not say anything to the soldiers, but Cao Cao was really not that lord. In fact, he didn't think that Xu Huang's personality was wrong, it was just that every general was different. Xu Huang was like that, and others were like that, so Cao Cao did not choose to let Xu Huang restrain himself, but did not tell him anything directly. Because he thought that the latter was the most right thing to do, not the previous one

In fact, it was because Cao Cao did this, so Xu Huang understood him. What he didn't understand was that his lord gave up Hangu Pass, but he really had no opinion about his lord not telling him anything. But if it was a different situation, it would not be certain. After all, it would be impossible to say that Xu Huang would really have no idea at all. However, Cao Cao has known him for so many years and still doesn't understand him anymore, so it's right, that's it.

As a result, not long after receiving the Hangu Pass war report, Xu Huang returned to Xu Du alone. Why did Xu Huang come back? Naturally, he apologized to his lord. Because you could have fought with the enemy again, there was no problem at all, but you directly led your troops to retreat. To be honest, it was like this, but in fact, you led your troops to run away, this is how it was. So according to

As for the military order, Xu Huang, as the chief general, violated it. However, this is not the most serious one, so it is indeed not to cause Xu Huang to get hurt. But he knew, "I am not afraid of no good things, but I am afraid of no good people." If someone really makes trouble for me, then I will definitely find a certain person. Whether my lord wants to deal with it or not, he has to deal with it.

And it can't be too light, that's it. But now that Xu Huang has come here, this is definitely a retreat as an advance. At least for Cao Cao, Xu Huang is definitely not trying to force his lord to do so. He has no intention at all. But he knew that he ran to Xu Du to apologize. In his lord's eyes, he knew his fault in his heart, and then came here to apologize, which also gave him face. No matter whether his lord wants to deal with him or not, he will be given a lighter punishment in the end.

True and false, true and false, true and true, so Xu Huang is not stupid. Yanzhou Army has several generals, and decades of experience, so that is definitely not a blow. He can only make the Yellow Turban until now. After so many years of troubled times, which one is Yiyou? At least Xu Huang is definitely not. Listening to the servants' reports, Xu Huang asked for a meeting, Cao Cao smiled in his heart, and naturally knew that he was here.

What to do, so I saw Xu Huang in the living room of Sikong Mansion. Xu Huang basically didn't stop all the way. After he settled the remaining soldiers, he ran towards Xu Du. But he also had the whole horse, otherwise the speed would not be so fast. He was just less than a day slower than the exploring horse. This was like this. Cao Cao looked at his general with a dark face, and he felt very satisfied.

I feel uncomfortable. I thought that if I didn't give up Hangu Pass, then Xu Huang wouldn't be like this. It's not like that I can keep it. The key is that he feels that the lord will not be so embarrassed. After seeing his lord, even if he has armor on his body, Xu Huang would kneel on his knees and salute his lord, "Lord, the general is back!" Cao Cao saw it and quickly got up, then helped Xu Huang up. Obviously, the servant took Xu Huang down, let him wash it, and then came to see him again. Obviously, he saw this.

Xu Huang looked at him, and they were both awkward, both of them. Then at this time, Cao Cao had already sent soldiers to summon all the people in Xudu and those who could come. Cao Cao knew that there must be more people here in this matter, so he and Xu Huang, that would not work. Everyone arrived one after another, and Xu Huang also came back at this time. He saw that everyone was there, but he still hurried.

He continued to kneel down and apologize, "The general Xu Huang, please punish the lord!" Cao Cao heard this, and said, "What is Gongming's intention? Get up first, sit down and talk!" "No!" Xu Huang understood his lord's meaning, and had no choice but to get up first, then sit down at his seat, and then slowed down. Then he continued to speak, "Lord, my subordinates are ordered by the lord to guard Hangu Pass...

In the end, he fled without fighting. Please punish the lord!" Xu Huang had already seen everyone, but when he thought that this was right, it was impossible for his lord to ask them to come. This was necessary. At this time, everyone also heard Xu Huang's words. Everyone's expressions were basically different. Obviously, their ideas were different. They also knew yesterday that Hangu Pass was lost, and Xu Huang finally retreated with his soldiers. In this regard, everyone knew that he had violated the military order, but how did his lord punish him?

People don’t know. Today, when they see this, Xu Huang actually returned to Xudu from Hangu Pass directly. This is really not easy. After all, the distance is not close, so this is right... In fact, most people in the Yanzhou Army think that Xu Huang’s actions are still OK. After all, they have heard about the situation at that time, and they don’t know when Hangu Pass will be broken.
