During the period of waiting for the reservoir to be full, Ma Chaojun has successively uprooted many sentries of the Liangzhou army.

On this day, it was the time to expand the patrol area, and as soon as he came up, he bumped into Cao Cao, who had just escaped from Luoyang.

For Cao Cao in this matter, meeting Ma Chao is indeed the best result, although it is quite embarrassing for the two to meet.

The first time they met, Ma Chao gave Cao Cao a hand to look back, and almost kicked Cao Cao's balls.

The result of the second meeting was also dramatic, Qian Shuo proposed the establishment of the Xiyuan Praetorian Guard, trapped Ma Chao in Luoyang in disguise, and never found a chance to leave for 5 years, and Cao Cao was the same as Ma Chao, one of the commanders of the Xiyuan Praetorian Guard.

The third time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, Ma Chao was appreciated by the Empress Dowager Dong and was named the commander of the Suwei Praetorian Guard, and Dong Zhuo's people suddenly appeared and attempted to assassinate Ma Chao.

Ma Chao took the opportunity to use the excuse of exterminating the traitors to forcibly break into the palace, protect Liu Xie, and confront the eight captains of the West Park headed by the general He Jin and Empress He, Cao Cao was naturally among them, and Ma Chao also had a big battle with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other generals at that time.

and the ten permanent servants suddenly led the army to rebel, the three forces competed with each other, and after the chaos in the palace, Ma Chao took Liu Xie away and won Liu Xie's great trust.

There were three times in total, and every time they fought with Cao Cao, it seemed that the two of them were more like enemies, they regarded each other as strong enemies, but they had a little feeling of sympathy for each other.

And today, the two met face-to-face for the fourth time, and for Cao Cao, meeting Ma Chao was a blessing in misfortune.

For Ma Chao, meeting Cao Cao was his best ally in raiding Luoyang City, because in the past few days, through many inquiries, he already knew that after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Cao Cao immediately worshiped under Dong Zhuo's account.

From Cao Cao, he would definitely be able to get the most detailed information about Dong Zhuo and Flame Heaven so that he could help him in his subsequent military operations.

In the water village, Zhang Ji took Cao Cao's pulse, and then said: "Cao Cao's pulse is fine, his coma is due to the continuous running for several days, exhaustion, hunger, thirst and other conditions have occurred together, resulting in the body becoming very weak, and he can recover after a while." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongjing."

After Zhang Ji left, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and others gathered in front of Cao Cao's bed, and Pang Dejin said: "What should we do with Cao Cao?" ”

Gao Shun groaned and said: "Cao Cao, although on the surface he seems to be cunning, insidious and calculating, not like a good person, but when the Luoyang Palace was in turmoil that day, the Yuan Shao brothers and Liu Bei all ran away, and only Cao Cao led the army to kill it back, and I could meet the young master again." ”

"Although Cao Cao has a strange face and a heroic appearance, he is still loyal and patriotic."

Gao Shun's words were obviously biased towards Cao Cao, and when he said yes for him, Zhao Yun frowned when he heard this, and said: "You don't know that after Dong Zhuo became the lord of Luoyang, Cao Cao took refuge in him, which can be described as a raccoon dog and an embarrassed traitor!" ”

What the two generals said made sense, Ma Chao turned his head and asked Xu Shu: "What do you think?" ”

Xu Shu smiled slightly and said, "Since the young general asked my opinion, then I said it." ”

He glanced at Cao Cao, who was still in a coma: "What the two generals said is reasonable, but the problem should be decided according to the situation, one time and another." ”

"General Gao's meaning is very simple, although Cao Cao doesn't look like a loyal person, he stepped forward at a critical moment, not only rescued General Gao, but also successfully blocked the army of the Ten Standing Servants, which allowed His Majesty and the young general to successfully escape."

"General Zhao's meaning is also very clear, after Dong Zhuo took control of the Luoyang government, Cao Cao took refuge in him, and it is obvious that he is a typical traitor."

Xu Shu's words seemed to be more inclined to Zhao Yun, but the words suddenly changed: "But." ”

"Since Cao Cao is already a big celebrity around Dong Zhuo, why did he fall here and be discovered by our army?"

"Looking at Cao Cao's situation, it is obvious that he has fled for several days, sleeping in the open all the way, and there are always pursuers chasing him behind him."

In the end, Xu Shu concluded: "I will put aside my opinion on Cao Cao for the time being, right and wrong, and when he wakes up, the truth will be revealed." ”

"Good!" Ma Chao nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for the others to leave, he stood in front of the bed, looked at Cao Cao carefully, and said secretly in his heart: "Cao Cao, I hope that in this life, you can take a different path, in my plan, you have a pivotal role." ”

Time passed in a flash, the water in the cistern had almost accumulated, and Cao Cao also woke up on this day.

"Hmm, what is this place?"

Cao Cao patted his forehead, trying to wake himself up quickly, the door was pushed open, and Ma Chao appeared in front of Cao Cao with a weird smile.

"Hey..."

Cao Cao sighed and said helplessly: "Sure enough, the person I saw before I fell unconscious was really you, not my delusion." ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "General Cao, I'm in a hurry now, and I hope you can tell me about the situation in Luoyang City." ”

Cao Cao is a bachelor: "What? ”

"Uncle, I'm hungry, let me fill my stomach first before I have the strength to speak, right?"

"Huh." Ma Chao took a deep look at Cao Cao, who suddenly played Laipi, and instructed his subordinates: "Give him something to eat." ”

At the dinner table, Cao Cao devoured for a while, quickly cleaned up the food on the table, and then grabbed the wine jug in his hand, drank it upside down, and drank it all.

"Hiccup~"

After being full of wine and food, Cao Cao gently patted his bulging belly and burped: "What, if you have any questions, then ask." ”

Ma Chao sat next to Cao Cao and asked, "First of all, I want to know a person, his name is Flame Heaven." ”

Cao Cao glanced at Ma Chao: "Did you also find something wrong?" I know this man, he came out of nowhere. ”

Saying that, Cao Cao recalled the chaos in the Luoyang Palace at that time: "At that time, I led the army back to the palace, and after saving General Gao Shun, I thought that the first emperor was still in the palace and must rescue the first emperor." ”

"But how do you know, the Praetorian Guard army of the Ten Standing Servants suddenly came out of the thorn and slashed, taking our army by surprise, resulting in heavy losses for our army's war cavalry."

"At this time, Dong Zhuo led the Liangzhou cavalry to join the battlefield, the two sides fought a big battle, there were mutual injuries, no matter the winner or loser, I originally thought that the two sides would fall into a long confrontation, and a large fiery red cloud suddenly appeared above the sky, which was extremely dazzling."

"Subsequently, a total of 6 figures fell from the sky, and the heavenly fire descended, burning a large number of Ten Standing Servant troops, and finally the Ten Standing Servants were killed by Dong Zhuo, and I had no choice but to take refuge in Dong Zhuo."

Thinking of the scene of the one-sided massacre at that time, Cao Cao couldn't help but shudder: "That scene was so terrifying that it made me feel extremely powerless, just 6 people, as if the gods had descended into the world, invincible." ”
