Xiahou Yuan watched Cao Ang grow up since he was a child, and he has always treated Cao Ang as a nephew, and the relationship between the two is also deep. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When Xiahou Yuan heard that Cao Ang was killed, Xiahou Yuan was already in pain, and then heard that Cao Ang was killed by Ma Chao's sister, and he was immediately carried away by anger, and he didn't want to send all his anger on Ma Chao.

As for Cao Cao, he didn't turn a corner for a while, and he also had a grudge against Ma Chao, so he didn't say anything to stop it.

Ma Chao was full of grievances, so he had to say with a bitter face: "Brother Miaocai, calm down, although the prince was killed by my little sister, but the little sister and her are in Wei Ying, and she can't help herself, she must be forced by the pottery thief." Take 10,000 steps back, this is also what my little sister did, since she is already a captive, she has nothing to do with my Ma family, and you can't blame me......"

Ma Chao explained hard, wanting to clarify the relationship, but Xiahou Yuan was angry, he didn't listen to his explanation at all, and he still pulled and pulled endlessly, and Cao Cao, who was the first, didn't even say a word, nor did he stand up for himself to say a fair word.

Ma Chao was angry in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he held back, the more he thought about it, and suddenly roared: "Xiahou Yuan, are you stupid enough!" ”

At the same time, Ma Chao used a lot of force in his hand, and with the strength of a hundred generals, he easily pushed Xiahou Yuan away.

Xiahou Yuan was stunned on the spot, he didn't expect Ma Chao to dare to scold him for being "stupid", and he was stunned in place, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Ma Chao ignored him, arched his hand towards Cao Cao, and said: "Your Majesty, the pottery merchant forced my little sister to kill the prince, this move is sinister, it is clearly to divide the trust between the monarch and the ministers between His Majesty and the ministers, Your Majesty is wise and martial, how can you fall for the traitor's divisive plan, please Your Majesty Mingjian." ”

The word "separation" echoed in Cao Cao's mind, roaring like thunder, and suddenly woke Cao Cao up a little.

At this time, Xun Yu, who had been silent, also gave up his hand and persuaded: "Your Majesty, Ma Mengqi is reasonable, the pottery thief's move is clearly a divisive plan, Your Majesty must not fall for the pottery thief's strategy, if you are angry with Meng Qi, it will be in the hands of the pottery thief." ”

Xun Yu persuaded like this, and the rest of the Fa Zheng and other courtiers also came to help, and even Xiahou Yuan seemed to be a little sober and did not go crazy at Ma Chao anymore.

Cao Cao finally sobered up a little from the anger of losing his son, took a deep breath, and gently brushed his hand at Ma Chao, "Meng Qi, you are too worried, don't I know that this is a trick of the pottery thief, this matter has nothing to do with Meng Qi, I will never blame you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes glared at Xiahou Yuan again, and he snorted coldly: "Xiahou Miaocai, now you should understand that you blame me." ”

Xiahou Yuan was speechless, staring at Ma Chao with a blushing face, not knowing what to do.

"Forget it, this matter is over, don't mention it again." Cao Cao waved his hand and suppressed the hostility between the two generals.

The mood calmed down a little, and Cao Cao couldn't bear to look at his son's head anymore, so he called for him to be held down and buried on the spot first.

The heads were taken away, and the imperial tent was quiet again, but the previous atmosphere of the city of all people and the ambition to win was gone, and the morale of the generals was obviously eroded by the scene that had just happened, and they were no longer so confident.

Cao Cao frowned, and then said in a loud voice: "The pottery thief killed Ang'er and sent people to come, just to shake the hearts of our army and to separate the trust between our monarchs and ministers, which proves that he has exhausted his donkey skills, so you should cheer up and follow me tomorrow to break the pottery thief and avenge the dead prince!" ”

Xiahou Yuan was the first to jump out, waving his fists, and roaring angrily: "Avenge the crown prince!" ”

"Avenge the Crown Prince—"

"Avenge the Crown Prince—"

The generals of the Qin State were waiting left and right, and their fighting spirit was slightly stimulated, and they all roared loudly, and the anger of revenge was raging in the big tent.

Cao Cao was satisfied, and ordered the generals to retreat, motivating the soldiers of each battalion to prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle.

The generals retreated, Ma Chao showed that he was impassioned, and he was on fire in his heart, and returned to his big tent.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Ma Chao slammed his helmet on the ground, and scolded indignantly: "Damn Xiahou Yuan, relying on the fact that he is half a clansman, he dares to be rude to me in front of so many people, if it weren't for the face of the Son of Heaven, I would have killed him on the spot!" ”

Ma Dai, who followed up, quickly pulled down the curtain, picked up the helmet on the ground, and silently put it back on the desk.

Seeing that Ma Chao was scolding endlessly, Ma Dai hurriedly lowered his voice and reminded: "Big brother, be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears, if it reaches Your Majesty, it will not be good." ”

"What if it goes to Your Majesty, just so that he knows how wronged I am......" Ma Chao was still complaining, but his voice was lowered a few times.

Ma Dai leaned over to the curtain again, and glanced through the gap a few times, to make sure that no outsiders were eavesdropping outside.

Then, he returned to the tent and sighed: "To be honest, this matter can be seen by fools, it is a thief's divisive plan, today Xiahou Yuan is so rude to the eldest brother, the Son of Heaven has no time to speak and drink, and he didn't let Xiahou Yuan apologize to the eldest brother afterwards, which is really chilling." ”

The word "chilling", Ma Chao heard it in his ears, felt pain in his heart, and slammed his fist on the case again.

Ma Dai continued to fan the flames and said: "I think that if there was no support from our Ma family, the Son of Heaven would be able to gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, our Ma family can be said to be right to Daqin, and he has made great contributions to his Cao family, and even his uncle was killed by Han Sui for this, and even my little sister was captured by the pottery thief. ”

Ma Chao's anger, which had already subdued, was aroused by Ma Dai again, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Ziyue, what you said is so right, our Ma family has paid so much for the Cao family, and now we are driven to Dunhuang by pottery thieves with him, to the point of almost being wiped out, but what did they do to us, we knew that this was the case, and we should not have returned to the Cao family back then." ”

Seeing that Ma Chao was also full of complaints, Ma Dai's eyes rolled a few times, quickly came to the side of the tent, and then carefully observed the situation outside.

Then, he pulled Ma Chao to sit down, lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "Big brother, the Son of Heaven is unjust to us, then don't blame us for being unkind, according to the current situation, tomorrow is unpredictable, why should we work for the Son of Heaven again, it should be time for our Ma family to think of a way out." ”

Ma Chao's expression was shocked, and the anger in his stomach immediately calmed down, nodded to him, and asked him to continue.

Ma Dai said with a straight face: "Brother thinks, if we don't do anything, we will leave quietly with our soldiers and horses tonight, and go east through Juyan, or go to King Xianbei, or go to Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it is better than staying here to bury the Cao family." ”

"To the east?" Ma Chao's eyes flashed, and he was clearly shaken, and he hesitated, but then said: "If we abandon Cao Cao at such a critical moment, I am afraid that we will be ridiculed by the world in the future, saying that I am Ma Chao, and that our Ma family is disloyal and unjust." ”

Ma Dai smiled disdainfully, "Big brother is too worried, we have long been benevolent to the Cao family, and it is normal for good ministers to choose trees and live in wood, besides, even his son has abandoned him and fled first, who will laugh at us." ”

"You mean Cao Pi? Didn't he go to Xianbei to move the rescuers? Ma Chaoqi said.

"The devil believes." Ma Dai sneered, "Xianbei territory is far away from Dunhuang and separated from the mountains and deserts, it is strange that they will work hard to save us, you look at Cao Pi's entourage, what Jia Xu, Yan Liang and Wang Ping, they are all ministers who have a good relationship with him, where is he going to ask for help, it is clearly for self-preservation, in the name of moving rescue soldiers, he took his own people to escape first!" ”

Ma Chao's body was shocked, and he suddenly came to his senses, and only then did he see through Cao Pi's true intentions.

"This Cao Pi is really hidden, I really didn't expect that he pretended to be a filial son on the surface, and when disaster came, he left his father and fled alone, he is really a great filial son......"

The corners of Ma Chao's mouth raised with irony, and he stood up, paced in the big tent, and weighed the pros and cons.

"Little sister killed Cao Ang after all, even if Cao Cao doesn't pursue it today, if he can turn defeat into victory in the future, after recovering the lost territory, he will definitely settle accounts with me after the autumn......"

"Cao Pi, who was a son, has run away, what reason do I have to stay and accompany Cao Cao's funeral......"

"Well, I, Ma Chao, have done my best to him, and it's time to think about the future for my Ma family!"

Suddenly, Ma Chao stopped, and when he looked back, his face was full of cold determination.

……

Late at night.

In the imperial tent, Cao Cao was tossing and turning, and as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of Cao Ang's bloody head, dangling in front of him.

He suddenly seemed to be able to hear Cao Ang's voice echoing in his ears, and he kept shouting, "Father, avenge me." ”

In a daze, Cao Cao didn't know how long he had been asleep, and finally he couldn't lie down anymore, so he jumped off the bed, put on his robe and walked out of the tent.

The cool breeze came to his face, Cao Cao took a deep breath, and his mood calmed down for a long time.

Looking up, I saw the eastern sky, faintly showing the white of the fish's belly, and it seemed that unconsciously, the sky was about to dawn.

A new day is coming, which means that the last battle is coming.

"Pottery thief, in today's battle, I will definitely kill you without leaving a piece of armor, to avenge the dead Ang'er, I will definitely break the myth of your invincibility, I will-"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, his fists clenched secretly, and swore a heavy oath towards the east, and his scorched face gradually bloomed with a confident sneer that he was bound to win.

His eyes were deeply sunken, and he traveled through the Gobi for more than ten miles, as if he could see that the tired and thirsty Wei soldiers were coming to this side listlessly under the scolding of the potters.

Just when Cao Cao was thinking about the future and the joy of revenge, suddenly, there was a noisy sound in the direction of Beiying.

Cao Cao's brows froze, his vigilance suddenly rose, and when he was about to send someone to investigate, he saw Xiahou Yuan's blazing horse galloping from the north, and shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." ”

"Why are you so flustered?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and shouted with a panicked and angry face: "Your Majesty, that bastard Ma Chao took a few of his brothers more than an hour ago, as well as three thousand soldiers and horses from his headquarters, and left the camp without permission and fled to the north. ”

"What!?" Cao Cao was stunned.
