When he led the Ma family's army into the city, he saw Ma Chao's face like a harsh winter snow. Even, he still felt that along the way, the murderous aura on Ma Chao's body always hit him from time to time, making people feel like a stab in the back.

As soon as he entered the county guard hall again, he was even more frightened. It can be seen that Ma Chao's personal guards are all in a state of battle ready to move at any time, and their eyes are full of bloodshot eyes like bloodthirsty tigers. It seems that just waiting for Ma Chao's order, he will break his body into thousands of pieces.

At this time, Su Gu's face was already as earth-colored, and he looked at Ma Chao in the right position in a panic, and the heart in his chest couldn't help but want to jump out!

Ma Chao, who was sitting on it, did not summon his subordinates to sit in danger at this time. A pair of slender and powerful legs were bent on the armrests of the Taishi chair, and the whole body sat in a comfortable posture of reclining. His gaze was intermittent and careless, out of step with the tense atmosphere of the hall.

But Zheng Gu never dared to have such an idea, because in addition to these, Zheng Gu also saw that Ma Chao's hand was playing with the Su Tie Sword he was wearing at this time. Sensen's chill peeked through the sparkling blade, dazzling his eyes. At this time, Su Gu finally recalled that Ma Chao's eyes when he looked at him always fell on his neck, heart, head and other vital parts.......

Everything in the hall immediately frightened him half to death, and he even forgot to salute when he met the lord. Just standing stupidly, with his legs swinging non-stop.

Seeing the appearance of Zhenggu, Ma Chao's face did not have the slightest color, but he didn't say a word, and directly raised the sword and walked towards Zhenggu, with an irrepressible murderous aura in his eyes. In the next moment, the cold light flickered and the sound was loud. He didn't even see Ma Chao's movements clearly, and stood still like a wooden chicken. But then his face was full of messy hair, directly covering the frightened face of Zhenggu.

'Dangchang' a crisp sound,

Zheng Gu then realized that his helmet was cut off by Ma Chao's sword, split in half and fell to the ground. At this time, Su Gu's first reaction was to quickly raise his hands, touch his head, and say in horror: "Is my head still there?!" ”

"Humph!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

But it was this cold snort that made him fall to the ground in fright, kowtowed, and tears flowed down his face: "Lord, lord, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never dare again!" ”

"Are you wrong?!" It seemed that it was Su Gu's timid behavior that stimulated Ma Chao's killing intent, he looked disgusted, walked slowly back and forth around Wei Gu, and looked at him coldly: "It doesn't matter if you're wrong, but do you know that because of your disrespect for military orders, how much did it cost Ma Jiajun to connect the entire broken link of the plan to destroy Yuan?!" ”

Born as a bandit, how could he know that Ma Chao and that group of foxes worked together to devise a plan to destroy Yuan? But hearing Ma Chao's cold tone, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, but he just begged for mercy.

"If that's all I have, I'll let you go." Ma Chao didn't make any moves against Zhenggu again, but after he suddenly stood up, he oppressed Zhenggu more harshly: "Tell you, the Ma family also started as a rogue, and I know your thoughts very clearly." This time, when you saw that the Ma family's army was not there, you dared to sack Jinyang City. If I don't come today, will you occupy Jinyang City and establish yourself as king?! ”

"No, no, no, the little one really doesn't have that mind!" Listening to Ma Chao say this, he hugged Ma Chao's thigh and cried: "The little one can eat a few bowls of rice, and he still knows it in his heart, and he definitely doesn't have such a terrible mind, the lord wants the small one to capture Jinyang City, and the small one occupies Jinyang City and waits for the lord." It's just that later, those Montenegrin troops somehow got involved, and the small enemy couldn't do it, so they had to endure the humiliation and steal their lives first, and wait for the lord to lead the army to ........"

Ma Chao kicked his eyes open: "In this way, it's my fault?!" You disobeyed the military order, instigated your subordinates to sack Jinyang City, and then dared to support troops against Tuoba Ying when you saw my tiger talisman. In the end, the lives of the people of Jinyang were devastated, and the entire Jinyang was reduced to a scorched earth empty city. Do all this, but you have become a great hero? ”

He said in a trembling voice: "Lord, I didn't think about it that much at the time! You asked me to capture Jinyang City, and I naturally thought that Jinyang City was mine for the time being. This time I really know how many pounds and taels I have, and I don't dare to do this again. In the future, you will follow the lord by your side, before and after the saddle, there will be no complaints! ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao's anger seemed to dissipate a little. He turned around and walked back to his position, looking at him coldly, as if thinking about what to do with him. Seeing that there was a turning point ahead, Su Gu immediately hurriedly crawled a few steps, and after climbing to Ma Chao's feet, he spoke again: "Lord, I know that my sins are unforgivable, and if you don't kill me, it's not enough to serve the army." But you have always been magnanimous and lenient to your subordinates, this time, how about letting you make meritorious contributions? ”

"Guilty of meritorious service?" The corners of Ma Chao's mouth twitched, and he seemed to be a little disdainful.

"Lord, this time the Ma family dispatched an army of 400,000, and the plan is not small. If you want to pacify this big state, you have to deal with the most troublesome Montenegrin army! At this time, Su Gu looked at the drowning man who grabbed the last straw, and saw Ma Chao's slight reaction, and hurriedly said: "Lord, I have been fighting in Bingzhou for many years, and I have some friendship with the Montenegrin army. also knows that after this army was broken by Lu Bu, it no longer occupied the city, but roared in the mountains and forests, forming its own line. Whenever there was a shortage of food and grass, they would go out to the mountains and plunder, causing great harm. ”

"I have an army of 400,000, why are I afraid of just black mountain thieves?" Ma Chao's face seemed to be a little embarrassed, and he said inwardly.

"The lord is naturally not afraid, but Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin army, is cunning and wise, and he refuses to submit to the official army. If the lord wants to be in peace with the governor, he must get rid of this, the scourge of the elbow......."

"Elbow and armpit troubles?" Ma Chao chuckled.

"Yes, yes, it's this elbow and armpit problem! The lord is really a pedant, and no one can match it. He hurriedly gave another sycophant.

"You have a point. Let me ask you, what can you do to get me to solve this elbow problem? Ma Chao seemed to be persuaded by Zheng Gu and asked.

But at this time, Yang Xiu on the side refuted sharply: "Lord! This stubborn crime is unforgivable, not killing is not enough to correct the military law and the anger of the civilians, if the lord bends the law for personal gain this time, it will be difficult for the Ma family to gain a foothold! ”

When he looked up and saw Ma Chao starting to rub the blade again, his previous horror roared again, and he didn't dare to do it at the moment, so he shouted directly: "Lord, the little one can persuade you to surrender the 300,000 Black Mountain Army!" In this way, the troubles in the state can be calmed down, and the lord can deal with Yuan Shao with peace of mind! ”

"Oh? Do you really have that ability? Ma Chao was a little unconvinced, and opened his mouth to force.

"The little one dares to make a military order, and if he doesn't succeed, he will come back and beg for death, and he won't say a word more!" He stretched out his right hand and pointed to the sky, swearing by it.

"Okay, I'll trust you again." Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Seeing that Yang Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, he waved his hand to stop it, and said to Zheng Gu again: "Since you have this heart, then I can't let you die for no reason." This time, I will give you a few hundred people, and you pretend to be driven out of Jinyang by the Ma family, and go to get close to Zhang Yan. But if there is news and intelligence, remember to contact the shadow of the Ma family. ”

Listening to Ma Chao, he finally let go, and left with a thousand thanks. Ma Chao and Yang Xiu looked at the back of Su Gu leaving, and couldn't help but smile.

"Lord, your trick to make up for the white is really clever to the peak, this Zheng Gu really thinks that he is guilty of meritorious service, but he doesn't know that the Ma family originally wanted to use him to contact the Montenegrin Army......." Yang Xiu thought about Ma Chao and bowed deeply, obviously admiring Ma Chao's superb acting skills. But then he frowned again and said, "However, such a person can really persuade the Black Mountain Army to surrender?" ”

"No need," Ma Chao smiled slightly, and said, "As long as he can find out where the Black Mountain Army is hiding, the initiative to persuade and kill is not in the hands of the Ma family?" ”
