Ma Hong went to the city and ordered the soldiers to shout: "Zhao Yun, quickly open the city and surrender, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are dead, you have no reason to resist!" ā€

Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Ma Hong, if you don't want to deceive me, how can my lord die in battle." ā€

Ma Hong laughed and said to Deng Ai beside him: "Take the head." ā€

Deng Ai took a wooden box from the ghost pawn and handed it to Ma Hong, who held the wooden box with both hands and said loudly to Zhao Yun on the city wall: "Zhao Yun, do you know whose head is in this box." ā€

Zhao Yun said loudly: "Hugh has to deceive me. ā€

Ma Hong waved his hand, and a ghost pawn took the wooden box from Ma Hong's hand, and another ghost pawn also walked out with a wooden box and the first ghost pawn walked towards the city gate and went to the city wall.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, and then ordered the soldiers to throw down the rope from the city, and the ghost pawn tied a box first, Zhao Yun hesitated, and ordered the soldiers to throw down the rope to tie the wooden box and take it up to the city tower.

Zhao Yun saw this wooden box, he could smell the smell of blood coming out of the wooden box, his heart was a little panicked, his hands trembled and opened the wooden box, Zhang Fei's head in the wooden box looked at him with wide eyes, the head was disposed of, but due to the hot weather, it was still rotten.

"General Zhang!" Zhao Yun shuddered and took a step back. Then he hurriedly led the soldiers to put away the wooden box.

"How! General Zhao, I didn't lie to you! Zhang Fei's head has been delivered, do you want Liu Bei's head or not. ā€

Ma Hong laughed.

"Ma Hong'er, what's wrong with you, my lord." Zhao Yunqi's face turned red, and the hand holding the sword kept trembling.

"Your lord's head is in the second box, you take it!" Ma Hong sneered.

Zhao Yun hurriedly ordered the soldiers to loosen the rope, and the ghost pawn tied the rope to the wooden box and retreated.

Pang Tong and Ma Hong watched intently as the local soldiers pulled up the wooden box.

When Zhao Yun saw the wooden box, tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, and he hurriedly reached out to hold the wooden box, then put it on the guardrail of the city wall, and slowly opened it, and closed his eyes in the process of opening.

The guards beside Zhao Yun saw the contents of the box and said, "General, there is no head in the box. ā€

No head! Zhao Yun immediately opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him at this moment was a box full of gunpowder carefully prepared for him by Ma Hong, and the ghost pawn took advantage of the enemy soldier to pull the wooden box up, and lit the fuse with a match.

"What is this? Somewhat familiar! ā€

As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, the gunpowder exploded, and with a bang, Zhao Yun and the guards around him were instantly blurred by the explosion.

In order to prepare this gunpowder box, Ma Hong asked the craftsman to make this box in advance, left small partitions on both sides of the box, and arranged a small mezzanine inside the gunpowder box, and the whole mezzanine was arranged with the gunpowder lead, which was long enough, which made Zhao Yun tricked.

"It's a pity, Zhao Yun, a fierce general, can't be used by me, so you can wait for Liu Bei on Huangquan Road! I'll send him to you soon. Ha ha! ā€

Ma Hong laughed.

Zhao Yun was killed, and the defenders of Xiling City were in chaos in an instant.

"Li Wu, Ma Wan, Cheng Yi, the three of you are desperately protecting me from Shaxian, and the 15,000 soldiers who died in Shaxian City, your lord has avenged you today!"

"The whole army obeys the order, kill!"

Ma Hong pulled out the Qinglong Sword and shouted.

"Roar, roar, roar! Rush! Rush Rush! ā€

"Brothers! Rush with me! ā€

Zhang Wei commanded the soldiers to rush towards Xiling City. Deng Ai also led his troops to follow Zhang Wei and attack the city with Zhang Wei.

Xiling City, which lost Zhao Yun, was captured by Ma Hong's army in an hour.

Ma Hong climbed the city tower and saw a pile of meat and mud, Zhao Yun had already been blown up and blurred in flesh and blood, and the corpse was mixed with the guards around him, and he couldn't tell whose corpse it was. Ma Hong ordered Zhang Wei to take out Zhao Yun's sword and gentian bright silver spear, and then went down the city wall to Liu Bei's mansion.

Liu Bei's family, Zhang Fei's family and Guan Yu's family were all arrested by Ma Hong.

Ma Hong sat on the main seat of Liu Bei's mansion, smiling like water, Pang Tong sat next to Ma Hong, Zhang Wei and Deng Ai stood behind Ma Hong, and above the lobby, the soldiers pressed Liu Bei's family devil in the lobby.

"Come, come, come! Don't be afraid, report your names one by one, and tell me who you are? ā€

Ma Hong said with a smile, seeing that no one spoke, he got up and walked to Mrs. Mei, who was in her thirties and said, "Mrs. Gan, remember me." ā€

Mrs. Gan lowered her head and said, "Ma Hong." ā€

Ma Hong smiled, looked at the six or seven-year-old child hiding behind Mrs. Gan, and stretched out his hand to stroke the child's head, and the child cried and clung to Mrs. Gan's clothes.

"If General Ben guessed correctly, you are Liu Chan, aren't you?"

Ma Hong looked at the child with a smile.

The child cried even more fiercely, and Mrs. Gan cried with the child, and as soon as Mrs. Gan cried, Mrs. Mi beside her also cried.

"Don't cry, for when your father returns, he will drive them all away."

A little boy of seven or eight years old pointed at Ma Hong and said loudly, next to the right hand of the little boy stood a girl of three or four years old, the little girl held the two fingers of the little boy, and she was not sensible and did not know what was going on.

Ma Hong smiled, walked to the little boy's side, reached out and touched the child's head, the child dodged Ma Hong's hand, hugged Ma Hong's arm, and bit it hard, Ma Hong did not dodge, let his little boy bite his right arm, and then stretched out his left arm to comb the little boy's messy hair.

"Kid, what's your name?" Ma Hong asked with a smile.

The beautiful woman behind the little boy hurriedly stepped forward to drag the little boy, and said to Ma Hong with a frightened face: "General Ma, please forgive my child, he is not sensible." ā€

Ma Hong looked at the beautiful woman with a smile and said, "Mrs. Xiahou, this is the child of you and General Zhang, called Zhang Bao, right?" ā€

Xiahou pulled away Xiao Zhangbud with a frightened face, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize to Ma Hong, Ma Hong smiled, rolled up his sleeves and saw the imprint on his right arm, which was bitten by Xiao Zhangbao. Ma Hong sighed, reached out and patted the little bud's head, and said with a look of regret: "Child, your father is dead, and he will never come back." ā€

Xiao Zhang Bao asked with a frightened face: "Father is so powerful, he won't die." ā€

"Does Uncle seem like a liar?"

"Father will definitely come back, father he will not die."

"Everyone dies, and your father is no exception."

"Is my father really dead?"

Ma Hong nodded.

Xiao Zhang Bao burst out crying and cried: "How did my father die? ā€

Ma Hong retracted his hand, stood up, looked down at Xiao Zhang Bao and said slowly, "I killed him." ā€

Xiao Zhang Bao was stunned, stopped crying, and looked at Ma Hong deadly, with hatred in his eyes.

Ma Hong looked at Xiao Zhangbao's eyes, and said calmly: "Remember this face in front of you, it is my father who killed you." Do you want revenge? ā€

"I'm going to kill you." Xiao Zhang Bao struggled with red eyes and wanted to rush towards Ma Hong, but was hugged by the Xia Hou clan.

Ma Hong smiled and said, "Zhang Fei has a good son, so what about Liu Bei's son?" ā€

Ma Hong turned his head and walked to Gan's side again, stretched out his hand to touch Liu Chan's head and said, "I'm going to kill your father, are you afraid?" ā€

Xiao Liu Chan was so frightened that he cried, and Gan cried and hugged him in his arms.
