Bai Xiaowen has always put Liu Beijun's generals down, in addition to the initial decision of Yizhou and the busy affairs, there is also a deeper purpose, that is, Ma Chao.

In the last Lianyun plank road ambush, Ma Chao did not follow Bai Xiaowen's instructions and rashly pursued Liu Bei, but was repelled by Zhao Yun after the break, and most of the two or three thousand cavalry under his command were killed.

Ma Chao felt ashamed, so he gathered the stragglers and frightened the horses, and finally the 3,000 cavalry did not suffer too much loss.

However, Ma Chao made another huge mistake, that is, he missed the battle of Jiangyang. He was already resourceful and resourceful, so he didn't think that Bai Xiaowen would lead the army to intercept Liu Bei and Zhang Fei when they converged.

didn't listen to the military order, delayed the fighter, and the two sins were deducted, and Ma Chao was even more shameless to see Bai Xiaowen.

However, hearing that Liu Bei had been captured, Ma Chao was anxious to take revenge, so he still took the initiative to ask to see Bai Xiaowen, in addition to receiving his own punishment, he also hoped that Bai Xiaowen would remember his previous promise and let him confront Liu Bei and avenge the killing of his father.

For this famous scene, Bai Xiaowen is quite looking forward to it.

After making sufficient preparations, Bai Xiaowen summoned the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang in the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion.

"Big brother, third brother!"

"Big brother, second brother!"

"Second brother, third brother!"

These days, Liu Guanzhang is detained separately and has not seen each other.

Now that the brothers have met, the three of them are in tears.

It is worth mentioning that Guan Yu was not originally a prisoner, but after he came to Chengdu, he saw that his eldest brother and third brother were in prison, so he asked to be imprisoned.

"How are the three of you spending the past few days?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "I have already instructed the prison guards to be kind to you, looking at your complexion, it is not bad." ”

Liu Bei's expression was complicated, he turned to face Bai Xiaowen, bowed his hand and said, "Those who are about to die, they can see their brothers again, and their wishes are enough." Yan Gong asked Liu Bei to behead and let my two brothers go. ”

Guan Yu looked at him with disgust and said: "What did the eldest brother say! My three brothers, Taoyuan is righteous, and they swear to live and die together. The younger brother was captured in Jiameng Pass, and he was not martyred on the spot, but he was thinking about Taoyuan's righteous feelings, and he wanted to leave a useful body, hoping to meet again. It is a great pleasure for brothers to gather together and go to Huangquan together to live up to their vows!"

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh: "I'm the same!"

Guan Yu said again: "My brother is dying alone, and my third brother and I are secretly living, how can we see the face of the world?

Zhang Fei nodded heavily: "I'm the same!"

Liu Bei's tears flowed down, one in one hand, holding the two brothers, and sighed: "Okay, good! Liu Bei has not made any great achievements in this life." has two brothers, and they have no regrets in this life. ”

Zhang Fei burst into tears: "I'm the same!"

Bai Xiaowen coughed: "Sorry to disturb the brotherhood of the three of you...... However, there is one more important thing that needs to be asked. ”

Liu Bei and the three of them all showed puzzled expressions.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Call Ma Chao in." ”

A stack of voices from the officials spread, and soon, Ma Chao strode into the hall.

The puzzle on Zhang Fei's face was even stronger, and Guan Yu was thoughtful, but Liu Bei's face changed slightly, and he looked a little weak-hearted.

Ma Chao first visited Bai Xiaowen, and then looked at Liu Bei angrily, those eyes were like a sharp sword out of its sheath, almost piercing Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei took a step forward and shouted, "You are so rude!"

Ma Chao scolded: "Black guy! Do you still have the face to say that a certain family is rude, don't you have a shame?"

In fact, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei are still in a state of serious injuries that have not recovered, and they will definitely be invincible in the face of Ma Chao, but they can't lose in one breath in their chests.

Guan Yu's injuries have healed and regained his combat strength. In addition, this is the lobby presided over by Bai Xiaowen, and Ma Chao did not act rashly.

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Let's quarrel slowly." He looked sideways at Ge Xuan: "Dao Chief, General Ma Chao's father, the cause of death of General Ma Teng before and after, you have witnessed it with your own eyes, it is better for you to explain it clearly." ”

Ge Xuanji said: "This matter has been contaminated with cause and effect, so naturally he will not get out of it; ”

So, Ge Xuan talked about the technique of prayer, the principle of the method of cursing and killing, and the process of Ma Teng's treatment and death after being sent to Yedu, and talked about it all the time, until Ma Chao avenged his father and raised troops to attack Tongguan.

Zhang Fei said: "What does this matter have to do with my eldest brother? It was not Yuan Xi who did it, but Zhang Lu who did it." My brothers are not like those who dare to do it. ”

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "At that time, General Ma Lao was sent to Yedu, if I cure him, I can calm Yongliang without half an arrow." As for Zhang Lu, he has lost the opportunity to fight for Guanzhong, and there is no need to grudge with the Xiliang Army. It can be said that Zhang Lu's motives for doing this have been overturned. Now it seems that the biggest suspect is Liu Bei. ”

Bai Xiaowen ignored Zhang Fei's clamor and said calmly:

"First, under Liu Bei's command, there are capable people who are enough to launch the technique of praying and curse and kill General Ma.

"Second, provoking the Xiliang army to engage with the imperial court can buy time for Liu Bei to collect Sichuan. In this way, with motivation and ability, Liu Bei naturally has a suspicion that cannot be erased. ”

Liu Bei was silent, and Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Do you have evidence?"

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "The lobbyist who persuaded Ma Chao and pointed the finger at me was Jian Yong under Liu Bei's account. ”

As soon as the words fell, the round Jian Yong was brought to the front of the hall.

Ma Chaoji pointed and said, "It's this person!"

Jian Yong was a little surprised.

Bai Xiaowen said again: "Moreover, the lobbyist who persuaded Zhang Lu to give up Guanzhong and clear his suspicions was also Liu Bei's adviser. Please come up. ”

Xu Shu was brought to the hall, his performance was much calmer than Jian Yong, he glanced at Liu Guanzhang, and then at Jian Yong and Ma Chao, and knew the general idea in his heart.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Xu Shu, you turned into a single blessing, went to Zhang Lu's command, and persuaded him to write a letter to Ma Chao and give up the land of Guanzhong;

Xu Shu was silent.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled: "Do you want to deny it? It's useless, although Zhang Lu has already gone to Yedu, most of his cronies and subordinates have seen you." ”

Soon, several of Zhang Lu's subordinates, led by Yan Pu, were summoned. Bai Xiaowen asked slightly, and Yan Pu said: "Yan Gong is right, it is this person who is blessed on the list of those days. ”

Ma Chao gritted his teeth with hatred.

Xu Shu suddenly said, "Yes, Ma Teng was killed by me." These things were all done by me after hiding from the lord and consuming with Jian Yong, and I have nothing to do with the lord and others. ”

Jian Yong's eyes were round at first, but then he shrank his head, nodded silently, and actually admitted it.

Ma Chao shouted: "Traitor, return my father's life!" took out the sword at his waist and was about to behead Xu Shu.
