After hearing this, Cao Pi was stunned for a while and asked quickly: "Meng Qi, what are you going to do?"

For some reason, he had a bad idea in his mind.

Ma Chao was too lazy to respond, and waved his hand, and hundreds of people immediately surrounded Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi's personal soldiers saw this, they knew that something was wrong, so they immediately picked up their weapons to fight back. Before they could do anything, Ma Chao's soldiers directly killed these personal soldiers and then controlled Cao Pi strongly.

"Ma Chao, what are you going to do?"

Cao Pi finally felt something was wrong, as if he finally understood that he was being used by Ma Chao.

From the beginning, Ma Chao was not sincerely trying to surrender to them, but just a simple use of it. Cao Pi also completely trusted him.

As soon as Cao Pi thought of this, he felt very cold. This time he was about to finish, and he was completely finished.

Just when he was thinking this way, Ma Chao had already entered Fancheng strongly and killed all the soldiers on the city tower.

The defender here, Le Jin, found something was wrong and led his troops to attack Ma Chao.

In order to control Fancheng, Ma Chao made all preparations and did not take Le Jin seriously. More than 20,000 people rushed in and killed Le Jin's thousands of people and fled in defeat.

"Open the north gate and leave!"

Seeing that the gap between him and the other party was too big, Le Jin did not dare to fight Ma Chao anymore, so he quickly asked someone to open the north gate and escape. He had to go back to Xiangyang, request support, and told Cao Cao about this news.

Ma Chao did not pursue Le Jin, and only by letting Le Jin escape back could it cause a shock to the entire Xiangyang and shock Cao Cao.

He strongly occupied Fancheng, but he did not stay idle and led his troops to attack Xinye in the north of Fancheng. Because they were still wearing Wei army armor and clothes, Xinye's guards did not question them and directly released them.

As soon as Ma Chao entered the Xinye City Gate, he was like a tiger going down the mountain. In just half an hour, he controlled all the guards and took down two cities in a row.

After doing all this, Ma Chao sent someone to urge Wu Ting to attack from Nanyang, Runan and other places. He didn't want the advantage he had just fought back, so he lost it, and was finally chased by Cao Cao.

"Ma Chao, why are you?"

Cao Pi still dared not accept this reality. He pointed at Ma Chao and cursed: "I have never been sorry for you, why do you still treat me like this?"

Ma Chao sneered, "Can't you see it yet? I didn't think about joining your Cao family at the beginning, and I'm just using you! Xiahou Heng and the others all think I'm malicious, but you think I can help you. Cao Cao is also a hero, but he has a useless son like you. I think he must be very uncomfortable."

Cao Pi roared angrily: "Shut up!"

He found that he was really like a waste, and was hit by Ma Chao to nothing. Yang Xiu was the first one, but now if it was Ma Chao, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Ma Chao sneered: "Take him down, it will be useful to me."

Perhaps we can also use Cao Pi to threaten Cao Cao.

The news of Fancheng's loss soon spread to Xiangyang through Lejin.

Bang!

Cao Cao kicked the table in front of him and said furiously: "Ma Chao, how dare he?"

That rebellious son!

It was Cao Pi's fault again.

This is to let him lose all his face in front of everyone.

He shouted: "Send troops immediately and take back Fancheng."

"Your Majesty, that's not true!"

Jia Xu immediately said: "At present, we only have the guards in Xiangyang to be available. If we divide our troops from Xiangyang, we will not be enough people to defend the city. If Ma Chao has other arrangements, we will be defeated in the end!"

Thinking that Ma Chao had been in Xiangyang for a while, if he had any other preparations, it would be a time bomb that could explode at any time, Cao Cao suddenly felt helpless.

"For the current plan, the only way is to recruit other troops besides Xiangyang to fight against Ma Chao, and to stand firm in Runan, Nanyang and other places."

Xu Shu said: "Ma Chao came from the north and was captured by General Cao near Xudu. He must have contact with Sima Yi, so when he takes action, he will definitely contact Wu Ting in an attempt to cooperate inside and outside!"

After hearing Xu Shu's words, Cao Cao felt that this was possible and was even more angry.

If he could come back, Cao Cao promised not to beat him to death.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

At this moment, Li Dian ran in panic and whispered: "To the west of Xiangyang, Longzhong has been lost. Ma Chao has arranged more than 5,000 people there, and is preparing to approach Xiangyang."

"What!"

Longzhong is next to Xiangyang. Once it is lost, the enemy will be at the city. When they meet with Ma Chao's men, they will be unstoppable. They can't even distribute so many people to resist the enemy.

Cao Cao regretted it again now. If he had known this, he would not have arranged all the troops in the south to the north. Now something really happened in the south, and even there was not enough force to resist.

What should I do?

If it were Chen Yang here, there would definitely be a way to deal with it, but there were not so many ifs.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Let all the people in Runan and other places come back, and don't want them in the northern part of Xiangyang, so guard Xiangyang first."

He had to give up. Ma Chao was obviously ready for all his preparations, and Sima Yi was definitely prepared and forced him to make changes.

He even felt that if the enemy attacked again, Xiangyang would lose and lose, and he would probably start moving the capital for the second time.

Xiangyang's order was soon passed.

Cao Hong, who was guarding Runan, had already received news of the loss of Xinye and Fancheng before the order came, and Wu Ting attacked frantically at this time.

Cao Hong had to continue to resist.

The person stationed in Nanyang was Zhang Liao, and within the same time, he was also attacked by the generals under Wu Ting for desperate attempts.

Ma Chao, who was stationed in Xinye, did not attack Xiangyang, but went directly north and came to the city of Nanyang, and attacked north and south in an instant.

Zhang Liao could not defeat Wu Ting, who was crowded and Ma Chao who suddenly appeared in the south, so he had to abandon the city and escape and retreat to Runan to find Cao Hong.

This is how Nanyang lost.

After Zhang Liao came to Runan, he had not yet gained a firm foothold, and Wu Ting's army bullied him again.

Ma Chao also came from the southwest of Runan with more than 10,000 people, and the army was approaching the border, which was very fierce.

Even if Cao Hong and Zhang Liao joined forces, they could not hold on. Finally, they saw the order from Xiangyang and sent it to their hands. They had to retreat to the north of Xiangyang and set up camp to defend.

After Runan fell, all the defense lines north of Xiangyang collapsed, and the Wei army was defeated like a mountain.

Cao Cao ordered all the generals to bring their troops back to Xiangyang and prepare to defend Xiangyang to the death. This is all they could do.

Two days later, Ma Chao and Wu Ting joined together, and the Jin army marched south and approached outside Xiangyang City.
Chapter completed!
