Chapter 490: The Beginning of Cao Wei (4)
Nowadays, it is impossible not to unite, and if we do not unite, it is very likely that something unexpected will happen.
Ma Chao turned to Liu Bei for help, hoping that Liu Bei and Xu Shijin would send troops together to destroy Cao Mengde.
Liu Bei sent a messenger to Chengdu to reply, Ma Chao was overjoyed, engaged in Li Gui known as getting acquainted with Liu Bei, and betraying the heart of the lord to seek glory, so he secretly wrote the secretary to Liu Bei, and expressed the great cause together.
The epistle says:
"Ma Chao invaded, his heart can be punished, if he wants to kill, he must be combined inside and outside, his heinous should be killed quickly, in the face of such a thing, only killing this is the most important thing, destroying loyal ministers, heinous! Jun is the bloodline of the Han family, when you know that thousands of miles will not be destroyed, if you want to kill this thief, you should kill it quickly, I am willing to respond to the internal response, and punish Ma Chao together! Say the words of the king, and follow the example! ”
When Liu Bei received the letter, he was immediately shocked and urgently ordered Xu Shijin to be here.
In the face of such a request, Xu Shijin was speechless.
Xu Shijin said: "According to this, it is indeed very good, the lord might as well agree." If Chengdu is taken, the lord can also establish himself as king. ”
Liu Bei was overjoyed, so he ordered the envoy to see Ma Chao back!
Cao Mengde personally led the troops to come, and the troops sent to Tiandang Mountain, Zhang Tai and Xiahou Shang led the men and horses to respond, arrived at the high mountain, and said: "My lord, you can arrange troops here to eliminate Liu Bei."
At this time, the strategist Jia Rudao admonished: "The lord can write a letter, aimed at stabilizing Ma Chao, write a letter to Ma Chao, and say: "Just for Liu Bei, not to ask for Sichuanzhong, something like this should be a very good thing, and offer a large amount of silver and gold to tie the knot, promise the day it is completed, divide the land, and seal it as the king of Jinshan, hereditary!" Then it can be broken. ”
Cao Mengde was immediately overjoyed and said, "Who can be the messenger?"
The people below knew that the horses were extremely brave, and they all had a cowardly heart and did not dare to move forward.
A man named Man Pet came out and said, "I am willing to go."
Cao Mengde regarded it, full of favor, and said: "Everyone is afraid of Ma Chao's bravery, only full of favor is not afraid of death."
"I wonder what you're going to say?"
Full Pet stepped forward and said so-and-so.
Suddenly, Cao Mengde was overjoyed and ordered Manzhong to go immediately.
Ma Chao was there, and when he heard that Cao Mengde had a messenger coming, he decided to give the envoy a dismount.
Ma Chao sat on the main seat in gold armor and gold clothes, and set up an oil pot at the door of the hall, and burned a thick flame under the oil pot.
Man Pet entered from the outside, only to see a cauldron set up at the door of the hall, he already knew its meaning in his heart, and smiled coldly in his heart.
After entering the hall, he stood in the hall.
On the main seat, Ma Chao said loudly: "Are you here to be a lobbyist?" If so, you'd better think about it, if what you say is wrong and I am not satisfied, the oil pot at the door is where you are buried! ”
Full Pet said: "I'm afraid that the lord of Sichuan will cook hard and will want to use it for himself!"
Ma Chao was shocked: "How do you say this?"
"That Jingzhou Liu Bei sometimes has the heart to devour Bashu, and the reason why he came to this place is also to kill Liu Zhang and seize Sichuan. But the world is changeable, and I don't want the general to temporarily rebel and cause him to do it, so how can he be willing to do this! The general seized the middle of the river and became the lord of the middle of the river, how do you make Liu Bei willing? Now that my lord has entered Sichuan, I actually want to avenge the general! Not for the figure General Xichuan, but also for the general Mingjian. ”
"Full of pets, do you know that you have a catastrophe coming! Cao Mengde and I have a grudge against my father, how do you let me deal with you! ”
"At this time and that time, the general should also plan to go back! If not, I'm afraid that Liu Bei will go crazy, and there will be no existence here! Full of laughter.
Ma Chao suddenly said, "What are you?"
Man Zhong said: "What is the purpose of the oil pot at the door? Isn't it just for me to die? After that, he moved forward with full of anger, wanting to jump off the oil pot, Ma Chao was shocked and said, "Quick! Stop him, stop him! ”
The soldiers hurriedly stopped him, preventing him from going.
Full Pet said: "Why stop me? Why don't you let me die......"
Ma Chao said: "Please also ask Mr. for advice."
Man Pet said: "If you want me to advise, you must first remove the oil pot."
Ma Chao suddenly said: "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw the oil pot."
At this time, if you still dare to use the oil pot, this violent tendency is equivalent to pushing yourself to a dead end.
Man Zhong said: "Who is Liu Bei? Our lord entered the river in order to sweep away the troubles for the general. ”
Ma Chao treated each other with courtesy and rewarded him with full favors.
Cao Mengde led 380,000 soldiers and horses to Sichuan, this Dongchuan land was already Cao Mengde's bag, but Liu Bei attacked the city, and Cao Mengde lost several large camps, which immediately made Cao Mengde furious and vowed to take back Dongchuan.
That Cao Xiu is a brainless person, he has been killed by Cao Cao, Xiahou is still savable, but his uncle Xiahou is an unforgivable crime, Cao Mengde ordered Xiahou to be beheaded, and Zhuge Liang advised him to avoid death!
Xiahoudun was saved from death!
Cao Mengde garrisoned Ma Yu Dingjun Mountain, and ordered Zhang Tai and Hao Gang to garrison Dongchuan and strictly prohibit them from going on expeditions.
Dingjun Shanxi, there is a high mountain, if you get Dingjun Mountain, you want to take Dongchuan Yiye!
Cao Mengde knew about this matter, and Huang Zhong also knew about it, so he discussed with his subordinates and said: "There is a high mountain in Xijun Mountain, but you can look at a mountain elsewhere, if you climb this mountain, you must not let Huang Zhong and others get it."
All of us feel the same way.
Then, Cao Mengde said to Xiahou Shang and Xiahoude: "You and I don't have my military order, you can't enter lightly, and if you enter, you will be killed!"
Xiahoude and Xiahou still dare not disobey!
Cao Mengde asked Xu Chu to lead 5,000 men to the mountain immediately, occupied the opposite mountain of Dingjun Mountain, and occupied a favorable geographical advantage, which made people spread false news that Huang Zhongji had taken the city pass and could enter the army as soon as possible!
When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed and ordered Wei Yan to lead people to help Huang Zhong.
Wei Yan led 3,000 troops to aid Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong was shocked when he saw Wei Yan.
"You say I've taken the mountains, but I haven't."
Wei Yan was shocked and said: "Whether this matter is true or not, you have already lied about the military situation, the matter has come to this point, there is no other choice, only to completely occupy that mountain, can you hide Liu Bei, and the truth will come true!"
Hearing his words, Huang Zhong knew that he had no way out, and the matter had come to this point, so he could only move forward bravely.
Huang Zhong led his men and horses to Jinma, wanting to completely occupy the high mountains, but Cao Mengde had already prepared, and this plan was formulated by Cao Mengde himself, so he had no choice.
Huang Zhong just wanted to rush up the mountain, but when he saw the sound of killing on the mountain, he immediately stood alone with a knife and said, "Xu Chu is here!" Old man Huang Zhong suffers death! ”
