Chapter 176: The Three Deaths of the Ma Family

Xudu, Mafu

Ma Teng followed what Zhang Ji said, and entered the court to get close to the Son of Heaven, in the name of righteousness and loyalty.

Suddenly, Huang Kui, the waiter, came to see him secretly, and Ma Teng knew that this person was Cao Cao's disciple, but he didn't know what he meant. Let it in.

Huang Kui said when he saw it, but he admired it, so he had the opportunity to come and see him today. Ma Teng thanked him and welcomed him with wine.

When the wine was half-drunk, Huang Kuiyan said, "My father died at the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and I hated it, and I don't want to be the lord of the bullying monarch again." ”

Ma Teng heard this, pretending not to know, "Who is the lord of the deception?" ”

Huang Kui said: "This Cao family is all here. Don't you know, and ask me? ”

Ma Teng was afraid that he was sent by the other party to investigate, so he hurriedly reprimanded: "The public holiday has to talk nonsense!" ”

Huang Kui said: "Didn't Gong Mo forget the edict? ”

Ma Teng listened, and the other party said what was on his mind, slightly dispelling suspicion.

Huang Kui said: "Actually, I am also the person I was looking for, and my name is not above the edict, so I saved my life." ”

Previously, Cao Cao found the belt and killed all the people named on it, Liu Bei, who was not in the name, escaped, and Ma Teng, who supported the army and respected himself.

Huang Kuiyan: "Now that the thief Cao Cao is dead, although his son Cao Ang has succeeded him, this child is far inferior to Cao Cao. We have nothing to fear, the defeat of Cao Jun Jiangdong, and now the vitality has not recovered. Jingzhou Liu Bei is also a friend of Cao, and this is the best time for us to do it. What are you waiting for? ”

Ma Teng listened to his words, was quite moved, and said: "I am trapped in Xudu now, and my son Meng Qi will definitely not raise troops to attack." ”

Huang Kuiyan said: "I can help the Duke escape from Xudu, as long as the Duke gets out of here, returns to Xiliang, and comes to the next day, the Xiliang army is brave, and he will be able to defeat the weak Cao." ”

Ma Teng thought about it, and finally agreed, and the two discussed the details.

Afterwards, Huang Kui went home. But he didn't know that what he did had been known by his wife and brother Miao Ze, Huang Kui's concubine Li Chunxiang had an affair with Miao Ze, and Miao Ze taught him to take words out of Huang Kui's mouth.

Huang Kui was provoked by Li Chunxiang and said his strategy. Li Chunxiang informed Miao Ze of this plan, and Miao Ze got his word and went to one place.

Yang House

Miao Ze informed the lord Yang Xiu of this matter.

Yang Xiu's eyes were keen, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "Very good, you tell Cao Ang about this, go and receive the reward." ”

Miao Ze left the house from the back door.

Yang Xiu immediately called his henchmen, "After Miao Ze came out of Cao Ang's mansion, he looked for an opportunity to kill him. Then Yang Xiu asked someone to write a letter, "Take it to Ma Teng." Then he went to Cao Zhi's mansion.

Sima Mansion

Sima Yi looked at the letter in his hand, and his wife Zhang Chunhua asked, "Who is it this time?" ”

"Li Chunxiang's, Ma Teng and Huang Kui plotted to escape from Xudu, and then the Liangzhou soldiers came." Sima Yi said lightly: "Yang Xiu's people know about this matter. ”

Zhang Chunhua asked, "So what will Yang Xiu do?" ”

"He will definitely tell Cao Zhi, and ask his subordinates to tell Cao Ang to kill Ma Teng. Attract the Xiliang army, and Cao Ang will definitely go to battle with his own troops. It's best that Cao Ang can die in battle, that's what he thinks. Sima Yi replied, "Back then, I asked Zhang Ji to persuade Ma Teng to enter the court, which was a hidden danger left for the Cao family. One day, the Xiliang army will come to attack the Cao army, and at that time there will be no one available to the Cao family, and I can take advantage of the situation to rise up, but ......"

Zhang Chunhua said: "However, after that Pang Tong came, you didn't dare to move. There is also the person who troubles Yang Xiu, who has the same aspirations. ”

Sima Yi said softly: "Yang Xiu is too flamboyant and self-righteous, and it is not difficult to deal with him." Pang Tong is the only one, and he needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. With Cao Ang having this person, it will be difficult for Cao Pi to ascend to the position, and it will be difficult for me to do the next step. ”

Cao Ang House

Miao Ze informed Cao Ang of this, and Cao Ang immediately summoned Pang Tong.

Pang Tong heard this and said: "If Ma Teng returns to Xiliang, he will definitely come to attack with a large army." But if he is killed, the news will be transmitted back to Xiliang, and his son Ma Chao will definitely come with a large army. This person can only be caught alive! ”

Immediately, Cao Ang immediately called Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu and others to capture Ma Teng and Huang Kui.

Ma Teng suddenly received a secret letter in the mansion to report, and the news was revealed, so he immediately fled out of the city.

His sons Ma Xiu and Ma Tie asked, "What should my father do now?" ”

Ma Tengyan said: "Although I don't know who this letter came from? But it said that he bought off the soldiers guarding the city at the east gate, and now he can leave in disguise. Ma Teng didn't dare to stay for a long time, and immediately led his second son out of the city.

Cao Zhi Mansion

"Can Ma Teng go?" Cao Zhi asked Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiuyan: "When I asked Miao Ze to sue Cao Ang, I had already sent a letter to them, they were not stupid, they should be able to escape." And Cao Ang will definitely not let them die, and the result is the same if they die and escape. ”

Cao Zhi asked, "What if you get it back alive?" ”

Yang Xiuyin said with a smile: "The lord can be relieved, they only have two results: escape and death, there is no third one." ”

"I prefer the dead one, though."

After General Cao received the order, he immediately led troops to surround Huangkui Mansion, "Surround me, don't let anyone go!" Then he took down all the children of his family. Another team of Cao Jun, who went to Ma Teng Mansion to arrest people, besieged Ma Fu, and when they rushed inside, they found that the people were no longer there, "Not good! People are gone, go and report back! ”。

Ma Teng, Ma Tie, and Ma Xiu desperately escaped from Xudu.

Halfway through, a group of men and horses rushed in front of them, all in black robes and masked, and they didn't see each other.

Ma Tie and Ma Xiu stood in front of them, "Father, you go!" ”

This team of people directly surrounded the three of them and did not give them a chance. Ma Teng saw that it was not the head, so he wanted to rush to kill, but the other party came with random arrows, and the three of them were shot in all directions, and they couldn't stop it, and they were killed by random arrows.

When Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu led their troops to chase after them, they found that the three of them were shot and killed, the two were shocked, looked at each other, and Xiahou Yuan said: "Let's take it back and talk about it." ”

When Cao Ang learned this, he was furious and asked Xiang Pang Tong what to do?

"The enemy has made a move, bring that Miao Ze." Pang Tong already knew something.

After a while, the soldier reported, "Miao Ze died at home!" ”

Pang Tong smiled evilly: "The reaction is fast and clean. Pang Tong turned his head to look at Cao Ang, "Lord, get ready to go on the expedition." ”

Cao Ang knew that Ma Teng was dead, what the consequences would be, although the strength of Cao's army had not recovered now, but he was not afraid of the battle, and he was worried about internal affairs.

Pang Tong saw his thoughts and said, "The lord can go to battle with peace of mind, everything is under control." ”

Cao Ang also said: "This battle still needs Shi Yuan's strategy, and our army can win." ”

Pang Tongyi smiled, "I won't go to this battle, I have to rely on the lord himself." ”

Cao Ang was puzzled, "What does Shiyuan mean?" ”

"The snake in the backyard is a lot of trouble. I don't deal with it, and I can't sleep. After Pang Tong explained, he reassured: "The lord has the talent to fight, and the Cao army has fierce generals, so it is not difficult to retreat from the Xiliang army." If the lord is still worried, I can bring one person with me. ”

Cao Ang asked, "Who is Shi Yuan experiencing?" ”

Pang Tong told Cao Ang that he was even more worried when he heard it, "I'm afraid this person won't help me wholeheartedly." ”

Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "This person's ability is no less than mine, he only needs to help him simply, and the lord can break the Xiliang army." If he really doesn't say a word, and he dares to come back, I will let him live rather than die. ”
