At that time, the sword was only 0.01 cm away from Xu Shu, but in the end, it could not be cut down.

Because Bai Xiaowen said "slowly".

Ma Chao took a breath and retracted the sword into its sheath.

Ge Xuan said: "General Ma Chao, don't be impulsive for the time being. Judging from the poor way, this person is not familiar with the art of prayer, and I am afraid that he does not have the ability to curse and kill the old general Ma Teng. ”

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Xu Shu, you have to take the blame for others, and Gu understands your feelings very well." However, in the lonely court, if you bear the blame, won't it make people laugh at me for not distinguishing between right and wrong?"

After speaking, Bai Xiaowen looked at Liu Bei: "Until now, can Uncle Liu Huang sit back and watch peacefully? If you dare to do it, I am afraid that it will be a loss to your name of benevolence." ”

Jian Yong said: "It's no wonder that my lord is the master of this matter!"

Liu Bei hurriedly stopped: "Xianhe! I am already a mortal person, and I don't need to be cleared of charges." What is the difference between dying under Ma Chao's sword and dying under Yuan Xi's sword?"

Jian Yong lowered his hand and said: "I can't bear to see the name of the Lord I benevolent and virtuous lost. Life and death are lighter than feathers, and innocence is heavier than Mount Tai. ”

Liu Bei sighed and waved his hand.

Jian Yong said to Ma Chao: "General Ma, in the final analysis, this matter is still the work of Feng Xiao Pang Tong. It was he who used the technique of prayer to kill the old general Ma Teng twice. After casting the spell for the first time, he asked Zai Xia to go to Chang'an to meet you, and then asked Xu Shu to go to Hanzhong under a pseudonym, not only to persuade Zhang Lu to give up Guanzhong, but also to plan in advance for the future. ”

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "It seems that Feng Xiao Pang Tong is quite wise. Please Xu Shu go to Hanzhong, you can cooperate with Liu Bei to collect Xichuan. If the north fell into war and Xiliang fought with the imperial army, Liu Bei would be able to take Hanzhong with the help of Xu Shu's power after taking Xichuan, and if the north was soon pacified, Xu Shu would be able to persuade Zhang Lu to resist the imperial army and give him advice. ”

Many civil ministers and military generals in the hall all showed a sudden realization on their faces.

Zhang He said: "No matter how the phoenix and Pang Tong designed, I never imagined that the lord would pacify Xiliang within ten days." After consolidating the north, Zhang Lu was pacified in half a month, leaving Liu Bei with plenty of time to seize Yizhou. ”

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Where is the phoenix pangtong?"

Jian Yong sighed: "After Feng Xiao Pang Tong cast a spell to kill the old general Ma Teng, he suddenly fell ill, and later in Luofengpo, he was shot by Zhang Ren, the general of Shuzhong. ”

Ma Chao said: "It's cheaper for this thief! Even if he is cut by a thousand knives, it will not be able to calm the hatred in my chest, I vow to cut him into a coffin and kill the corpse, and tell my father!"

If you are a modern person, you may think that Ma Chao is too ruthless, but in fact, in the Three Kingdoms era, it is not unusual to avenge his father and do this. The people present looked very normal when they heard that Ma Chao was going to dig Pang Tong's tomb.

Liu Bei couldn't help it: "Slow, although I don't know what Master Pang did for me, there is no difference between what he did for me and what I did." Ma Chao, if you want to take revenge, kill me with a sword! Hugh wants to destroy the tomb of Pang Junshi. ”

Ma Chao pointed at Liu Bei and said: "You are also a hypocrisy, not a good thing! I will kill you first, and then go to dig the tomb of Pang Tong." ”

Guan Yu stood in front of Liu Bei and shouted: "With me here, you don't want to touch my brother's hair!"

The two were tense, and Bai Xiaowen said: "There is a wrong, and there is a debtor." Liu Bei, you don't have to suffer for Pang Tong, he violated innocent people with Taoism, and he deserves this reward. Ma Chao, it was Pang Tong who killed your father, and you should not be angry with Liu Bei. ”

Ma Chao said: "Thank you Yan Gong for confronting me in court and finding out the truth about my father's death." There will be something in the end, please take three days off, and hope that Duke Yan will allow it. ”

Anyone knew what Ma Chao wanted to do, and Bai Xiaowen naturally wouldn't stop him, waving his hand: "You go." ”

Ma Chao glared at Liu Bei again, and retreated with hatred.

There is a reason why Bai Xiaowen didn't let Ma Chao kill Liu Bei.

In the insight, Bai Xiaowen found that Liu Bei actually had a passive skill of "popularity".

If Ma Chao kills Liu Bei, Bai Xiaowen's Yuan army forces, in the territory that Liu Bei once governed, will reduce the people's morale by 30 points, and the loyalty of civil and military officials will be reduced by 30 points.

There are also other forces that have the negative impact of a 1-level drop in diplomacy, but it's nothing compared to the people's hearts and civil and military loyalty, especially now that the princes have been pacified.

The places that Liu Bei once governed include Pingyuan, Xuzhou, etc., and the most recent is Jingzhou. The first two are okay, the hearts and loyalties of Jingzhou, Bai Xiaowen does not want to lose, after all, Jingxiang and Jiangdong are an important step in Bai Xiaowen's next unification task.

Bai Xiaowen said to Liu Bei: "Today's world is all in the palm of Lone's hand, and only the Jiangdong Sun clan has not yet surrendered. If you are willing to surrender to me, I will not only forgive you for your capital crimes, but also give you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and make your wives and sons a shadow. ”

Liu Bei said lightly: "I'd rather die than submit to Your Excellency." Don't waste your words. ”

Bai Xiaowen said: "You are known for your benevolence, and Guan Yu is also a loyal and righteous person. I can't bear to kill you and others, as long as you jointly write a letter of guarantee to inform the world that you will not escape from the world in the future and no longer fight against Lonely, I can release the three of you brothers and live in Lin Quan for the rest of your life. ”

In the three-dimensional world that emphasizes faithfulness, it is not impossible to do this.

If Liu Bei wrote a letter of guarantee, Bai Xiaowen had his own way to tell the world. When the time comes, if Liu Bei wants to go back on his word, he will definitely be despised by others.

Liu Bei was stiff and said proudly: "Your Excellency, I have different ways and different beliefs. With my Liu Bei in one breath, I will work hard to support the Han family. Your Excellency is a thief of the Han Dynasty, and you are naturally my Liu Bei's enemy, and this will not change even if you die. ”

Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "If you want to die, you won't stop you." Do you care about the lives of the two righteous brothers?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both took a step forward.

Guan Yu said: "The sage Mencius has a cloud: 'Give birth to what I want, righteousness, also I want; Guan reads poetry and books roughly, and is slightly polite. On the day of Taoyuan's worship, my brother's words are my words, and my brother's ambition is my will; Guan's body is my brother's body, and Guan's life is my brother's life. My brother sacrificed his life for righteousness, how could he be left behind?

Zhang Fei: "I'm the same!"

This scene, for the people of the Three Kingdoms who value justice over life and death, the impact is quite strong, and many people have relatives.

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "Okay! You are bent on death, and you can only fulfill it." A big banquet was set up that night to see off the three Taoyuan brothers. ”

Liu Guan and Zhang Qiqi bowed their hands. Liu Bei said: "So, thank you for it." ”
