Jia Xu's previous guess was not wrong at all, although the people who sent troops on the surface were Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, in fact, the killer weapon of the coalition this time was Cao Cao.

As early as when Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao's account, Cao Cao already knew about the hatred between him and the Xiliang Ma family.

This time, the vanguard generals of the Jizhou army are Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, how could Cao Cao not take advantage of this.

The reason why his people are hiding in the shadows is to confuse Ma Chao and others, and those partial generals and generals who were sent out to provoke Ma Chao were actually bait released by the coalition forces.

In order to let Ma Chao defeat or even kill them, only in this way can Ma Chao's arrogance be aroused as much as possible.

When Ma Chaozhi was complacent, suddenly his enemy appeared in front of him.

According to Ma Chao described by Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao believed that Ma Chao would definitely pursue Zhang Xiu desperately, and as long as Ma Chao left his army, Cao Cao's conspiracy would be considered a success.

The vanguard of the Jizhou Army lost the command of the leading general.

At that time, as long as Yuan Shu and Liu Biao did their best to attack them, the Jizhou vanguard, which had lost its unified command, would definitely not be their opponent.

And Ma Chao's life will not be easy, as long as he chases and kills Zhang Xiu for more than ten miles, he will fall into Cao Cao's trap.

Cao Cao's subordinates Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Xu Huang had already set traps there.

As long as Ma Chao dares to come, and when the time comes, plus Zhang Xiu, who has returned to kill him, the four generals of the Cao Army will besiege Ma Chao, even if Ma Chao has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to escape from the death trap this time.

Cao Cao had planned it well, but he didn't expect an accident.

That is, he didn't expect that Ma Chao would break through in wartime, and this breakthrough actually stirred up Liu Biao's general Wen Ping.

There is another point that Cao Cao did not expect, when Xu Chu and they were defeated back to their own army before, although Cao Cao asked Xu Chu about their defeat, he did not ask too carefully.

In addition, Xu Chu almost killed Zhang Liao, but he didn't actually take Zhang Liao seriously.

Therefore, Xu Chu did not specifically explain to Cao Cao that there was an extremely extraordinary general in the Jizhou army.

As for Liu Bei or Yuan Shao, although their subordinates knew how powerful Zhang Liao was, for one reason or another, Zhang Liao's name never reached Liu Biao's ears.

Although Wen Ping and Wei Yan also participated in the attack on the Jizhou vanguard troops, they only participated in the second half of the period, and they did not meet Zhang Liao at all.

Otherwise, Wei Yan would never be arrogant and think that he could clean up Zhang Liao within a few moves, which was the biggest mistake he made today.

When Wei Yan and Zhang Liao got into play, he immediately felt a strong pressure.

Xu Chu was able to defeat Zhang Liao, it was because of his superb martial arts, and Wei Yan at this time was much worse than Xu Chu.

Compared with him, Zhang Liao's martial arts are obviously much stronger than Wei Yan, and as soon as the two fight, Zhang Liao used his big knife to force Wei Yan into a disadvantage.

At this time, Wen Ping had reached the point of life and death, and as early as when Ma Chao did not break through, he was not Ma Chao's opponent.

Now that Ma Chao is one step closer to marksmanship, he is even less of Ma Chao's opponent.

The two had just fought for less than twenty rounds, and Wen Ping had already been beaten and had no power to fight back.

Now he can only desperately strengthen his defenses, so as not to be stabbed to death by Ma Chao.

But it is an eternal truth that if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.

If Wen Ping can't move back to the situation, then there will be more than twenty rounds at most, and he will definitely die under Ma Chao's gun.

Seeing that his two favorite generals were forced into the disadvantage by the other party, he could make Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sweat profusely.

Wei Yan and Wen Ping were the two most outstanding generals under him.

He valued these two people second only to his subordinate Liu Pan, of course he didn't want to just watch Wen Ping and Wei Yan die in the hands of Ma Chao and Zhang Liao.

Liu Biao, who was in a hurry, immediately sent someone to inform Zhang Xiu and asked him to immediately go out to help Wenpin.

Liu Biao firmly believes that as soon as Zhang Xiu appears, Ma Chao will definitely immediately shift all his attention to him.

As for the honor of the martial artist, it is all bullshit in the eyes of politicians like Liu Biao!

What's the use of asking for those honors, is his life gone, can he still count on those honors to fight for him?

As for Zhang Xiu, he didn't feel any pressure when he accepted this task before.

He is also considered a general, and he thinks that he can resist even against Ma Chao for a while.

But when he saw Ma Chao break through, he knew that this time he was afraid that he would be hanging.

If he stepped forward to fight Ma Chao, as long as he was careless, it would be a catastrophe!

At this time, the successive failures have already hit Zhang Xiu's ambition at all, and what he wants now is to save his little life and continue the incense for their old Zhang family.

Of course, if he can mix like a fish in water under Cao Cao's command, then he will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

But in any case, the premise is to save your own life.

But now Liu Biao's order is tantamount to letting him play with his life, and Zhang Xiu's heart is a hundred and a thousand unhappy.

But at this time, the situation was stronger than people, and Zhang Xiu could only rush out of the big formation.

Zhang Xiu rushed out quickly towards the place where Ma Chao and Wen Ping were fighting, and when he came to Ma Chao's side, a muffled shot stabbed Ma Chao's chest.

Ma Chao could have killed Wen Ping right away, but at this time, a nasty fly came, and it was an immoral fly.

At that time, Ma Chao was angry that both eyes were spitting fire, and after dodging the shot from the other party, Ma Chao originally wanted to scold the other party.

But when he turned his head and found that the person who came turned out to be Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao immediately left everything behind, and even didn't care about Wen Ping, who was about to be killed.

Towards Zhang Xiu, he killed him, and Wen Ping easily escaped from death.

For a while, he didn't have the courage to step forward and fight Ma Chao again, so Zhang Xiu could only face the violent Ma Chao alone.

After resisting for less than ten rounds, Zhang Xiu was stabbed in the calf by Ma Chao.

At that time, Zhang Xiu was grinning, and Zhang Xiu knew that if he didn't run away, he wouldn't have to escape.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu exerted all the strength of his body, blocked the attack of Ma Chao's next shot, and then turned the horse and fled towards the location where the previous lord told him where the trap was!

Seeing his father-killing enemy fleeing, the red-eyed Ma Chao immediately chased after him, and even his emotions had affected the war horse under his crotch.

Ma Chao's war horse ran a lot faster than usual, Zhang Xiu glanced back while running for his life, and he was scared of his soul at that time.

At this time, Ma Chao was less than five horses away from him, and if this situation continued to develop, he would be the ghost of Ma Chao's gun in less than a quarter of an hour!
