Chapter 532 Ma Chao turns to Hanoi
At this time, Xiahou Dun understood what Cao Ren meant. In fact, Cao Ren meant that Dong Cheng, the culprit who killed Yang Feng was still there, so if Xu Huang asked someone to avenge him, he would definitely have to go to him, Dong Cheng again. So he was not afraid of not having the chance to deal with Xu Huang again in the future, unless Dong Cheng died, or Xu Huang was not going to avenge Yang Feng.
If that is true, then we may not have the chance to deal with him anymore. However, although it is great, the two of us cannot meet. Moreover, Xu Huang is also a general and a general with very good martial arts skills. Unless he retired and no longer became a general, may he be willing to retire like this?
At this time, Li Le and the others had already run away, and Xu Huang also ran away. The remaining ones were the soldiers who were not running away and were not ready to escape. However, the soldiers who were not ready to run almost all aimed at Dong Cheng's side. They all knew that they had a traitor, so that was the case. This traitor was Dong Cheng. At this time, Dong Cheng was still fighting with the remaining soldiers.
When the few people saw it, Cao Renze said, "Let's go quickly, Dong Cheng can't just die like this!"
Xiahou Dun and others nodded quickly, but they all quickly joined the final battle. Of course, there was no accident in the end. Naturally, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army won a great victory and defeated Li Le and the others. Yang Feng was killed by Dong Cheng, while Han Xian died in the chaos. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses. After this battle, Xu Huang took away hundreds of people. As for Li Le and Hu Cai, it would be good if half of the people left to run with them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cao Cao's Yanzhou army won a great victory, and his Dong Cheng's contribution was indeed indispensable.
It was Dong Cheng who reported to Cao Cao that the Yanzhou Army ambushed Yang Feng and Bai Bo Army and others tonight. Otherwise, Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army would have easily lost the opportunity when he was caught off guard. Therefore, Dong Cheng was indeed a great hero to the Yanzhou Army, which was not wrong at all.
After Liu Xie knew the cause and effect of the matter, he didn't say much, but instead praised Dong Cheng, Cao Cao and the others. Although Yang Feng and the others did help him, Liu Xie felt that he had promoted them to the post long ago, and he didn't owe them anything at all. So now Yang Feng and Han Xian died, and Li Le and the others ran away. For him, only Dong Cheng is his own direct line. He has to use it. As for others, just love it.
Originally, after Dong Cheng secretly went to see Cao Cao and told him about Yang Feng and his actions, Cao Cao's suspicious personality was a little unbelievable. After all, in his eyes, Dong Cheng seemed to be "wearing a pair of pants" with Yang Feng and the others, so he could betray them? How could he not be a little careful about this?
However, after Cao Cao and Cheng Yu discussed it later, he understood. It turned out that Dong Cheng could not be considered a member of Yang Feng's side, but a person from the emperor's side. So he did this. After all, Yang Feng and Li Le and others, after all, they were born thieves. They were not serious people. Moreover, especially Li Le and the other three, they were not changed at all. It was no wonder that Dong Cheng had to use his own hands to remove them.
Yes, in Cao Cao's opinion, this is Dong Cheng's use of his own hands to remove Yang Feng and others, but it is only very beneficial to him. He just doesn't know whether the emperor knew about this. Originally, Cao Cao thought that Liu Xie asked Dong Cheng to do this, but in the end, his analysis between him and Cheng Yu was definitely not, and this was what Dong Cheng took his own initiative.
Moreover, Cheng Yu and Cao Cao also said something very important, and he said: "My lord, don't forget that from the current situation, besides the lord, Li Le and others have the greatest power. Dong Cheng was not even as good as Yang Feng's men, so it is not incomprehensible to do this for himself!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he understood that Dong Cheng was indeed not incomprehensible in his actions for himself and for the emperor. Isn’t that the case? However, Cao Cao really looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, because Yang Feng believed in him very much, but in the end he was betrayed by him.
On the morning of the next day, Xiahou Yuan finally brought his troops back to Luoyang, while Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren and others went to report to Cao Cao together about the battle with Yang Feng and others at night. In the end, except for Yang Feng and Han Xian's death, Li Dian and Lejin led their troops to chase Li Le and others, but did not catch up. They just killed some remaining soldiers, but in the end they returned disappointed.
But of course, Cao Cao did know some of the things, but more specific details have to be explained in detail by Xiahou Dun and others. After all, during the war, Cao Cao did not personally lead his troops to ambush the camp. This is not that he did not value Yang Feng and others, but that he felt that he might not have to lead his troops there and wait for Yang Feng and others.
For him, it was very clear that it was impossible for him to lead his troops to fight forever. Many times, he had to be subordinates to stand alone, so it was not important to be there or not. What was important was that whether he was there or not, the commander of the camp could be cautious and careful in preventing the enemy, and then he could fully implement his orders to him. That was all.
Xiahou Dun and others told Cao Cao about the situation of the night war. When Cao Cao heard this, he was not surprised. He did not expect that Yang Feng and others could be captured alive or killed by their side. This is basically impossible, so don't even think about it. However, he was also interested in Xu Huang, who was particularly respected by Xiahou Dun and others.
He only heard him ask at this time: "Yuan Rang, then Xu Gongming's martial arts are really comparable to you?"
"Yes! That's right! The lord didn't see it with his own eyes, but he didn't know it. But Zixiao and the others can prove that what Dun said is not false!"
Cao Ren also said at this time: "Yes, lord. That's right, Ren saw it with his own eyes! The so-called "no vain scholars under the reputation" Xu Gongming is indeed well-known!"
After Cao Ren finished speaking, Cao Hong and Cao Chun also spoke, saying that Xu Huang's martial arts are superb and that they are incomparable to Xiahou Dun. In fact, they cannot blame them for admiring Xu Huang, who is the first-class martial arts skills, mainly because Cao Cao's subordinates now have no first-class martial arts skills except the Xiahou brothers. And there is no first-class martial arts general. But when Cao Cao saw Zhang Fei, Cui An and others fighting Lu Bu at Sishui Pass, he was indeed envious.
He really envied Ma Chao. Because Ma Chao actually had first-class martial arts generals with top-class martial arts, and there were two. Even Liu Bei had one Taishi Ci under his command, who was also a first-class martial arts master, but he only had two first-class martial arts masters. So Cao Cao had to envy Ma Chao. But he didn't know that Ma Chao's subordinates had more than two first-class martial arts masters. It can only be said that Cao Cao only knew two.
However, Cao Cao also understood that such martial arts generals are indeed "can't be met but not sought", and it is actually very good to have two first-class and inferior martial arts generals. First-class and superior martial arts generals are not a good deal, there are so many, so although Cao Cao also hopes to meet a general with superb martial arts, he has never been able to do it.
So at this time he met a top-notch martial arts general. Cao Cao suddenly became loving talent. The reason why he asked Xiahou Dun and the others again was not that he doubted Xu Huang's martial arts level, but because he just wanted to confirm again and heard what Xiahou Dun and the others said. How was Xu Huang's martial arts? Cao Mengde never thought that there were too many such talents. However, after hearing what Xiahou Dun and the others said, Xu Huang had already escaped, so Cao Cao couldn't help but feel very regretful at this time.
Not to mention Cao Cao was quite regretful, just say that his adviser Cheng Yu had long seen his lord’s thoughts, so he said to Cao Cao: “Master, is it because he cherishes Xu Gongming, who is a talented person, so he wants him to serve?”
Cao Cao laughed and said, "It's true. Could it be that Zhongde has any insight into this?"
Cheng Yu also smiled, "It's not a question of high opinion, but his subordinates think that there is a way to earn Xu Gongming now!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Hahaha, is there any such thing? I wonder what wonderful strategies Zhongde can have?"
It is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Cao has a lot of confidence in Cheng Yu, or it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a lot of confidence. He knew that as long as the old fox took action, the matter would be almost done, and Cheng Yu was definitely scheming and he should naturally be able to deal with Xu Huang.
"Only the lord needs this matter..."
Everyone listened to what Cheng Yu said seriously. After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao was afraid of the table and said, "Okay, that's what Zhongde said!!"
Xiahou Dun and the others stopped nodding, thinking that this military advisor is a military advisor, and they are very smart. You see, we can't think of this, but the military advisor can think of it. In this case, if Xu Huang can still do the same as before, then he and others will admire him Xu Huang and Xu Gongming in Hedong!
As for this matter, Cao Cao finally decided, and then he would do what Cheng Yu said today. As for whether it would be successful in the end, Cao Cao felt that there should be no problem. Of course, the so-called "the plan depends on people and the success of things depends on heaven", there are indeed many uncertain factors, so no one dares to boast about it at this time and here, just saying that his own strategies and ideas will definitely be successful. This is impossible. However, Cao Cao and everyone have a lot of confidence in this, which is correct.

Ma Chao, who was leading troops to march from Hongnong to Henan, got the latest news from Tanma. Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated and killed by Xiahou Yuan, but Zhang Ji disappeared in the end.
So Ma Chao quickly ordered that he could no longer advance eastward and quickly turned northeastward and headed towards Hanoi County.
