The reason why Ma Chao took the initiative to ask for orders to attack Liu Bei was that he wanted to make meritorious contributions in front of Zhang Lu and stabilize his foundation, and another important reason was that he was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei.

When he raised troops to attack Cao Cao, he said that he would act together, and Liu Bei verbally promised to do well, but he did not keep his promises and did not send troops at all, Ma Chao believed that this was one of the reasons for his defeat.

There are horses beyond horses, a general with at least three tops, Dong He happily left, and went back to report the good news.

Ma Chao was heroic and was about to set off with his troops, but the strategist Yang Song secretly reminded Zhang Lu: "Lord, Ma Chao has been guarding Xiliang for many years, and then he was defeated by Cao Cao and had to return here, but how can he be a person who has lived under people for a long time?" If he goes away with his army and sets himself up as king, he will become a great trouble. ”

Zhang Luyi pondered and seemed to be right, but Ma Chao is a rare fierce general in the world, of course, he has to fight to make him follow him with all his heart.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lu thought of a way, it was better to marry his youngest daughter Zhang Qiying to Ma Chao, so that it would become a family, a good idea.

So, Zhang Lu called Ma Chao, who was leaving, and said with a smile: "The general's wife is newly mourned, and I am deeply saddened. How can a big husband have no wife, I have a little daughter Qiying, who is twenty-eight years old and in her prime of life, and can be married to the general. ”

Ma Chao was very happy after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "Thanks to the grace of the lord, I will definitely repay you with death!" ”

Good! Seeing that Ma Chao was relieved, Zhang Lu was full of joy and immediately called his daughter over. Zhang Qiying walked over with a skewed and shy answer, and secretly glanced at Ma Chao, tall and mighty, as if a god descended from heaven, and her heart was very happy.

But when Ma Chao saw Zhang Qiying's appearance, he was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't want to take a second look. Zhang Qiying looked childish, thin and dark, with scorched yellow hair. And Ma Chao was born into a famous family, and his wife and concubine are naturally very beautiful, Zhang Qiying's appearance really can't get into his eyes.

"Lord, now that the war is urgent, when I return triumphantly, I will talk about marriage." Ma Chao said.

"Hehe, make a marriage contract early, and the general will have no worries." The corners of Zhang Lu's mouth twitched, but he still insisted with a smiling face.

"Just Liu Bei, it's not a problem, Chao Ben has nothing to worry about!" Ma Chao said stubbornly and retreated.

Zhang Qiying is not a fool, of course, she can see that people don't look down on her, so she was immediately angry and cried, Zhang Lu was patiently coaxed for a long time, Zhang Qiying still fell and left, her eyes were full of complaints about her father.

Zhang Lu was so angry that his old face was red, his teeth were clucking, Ma Chao was too much! His shy face will be regarded as the pearl of the palm of the daughter Xu married to him, he is a defeated, even picky, this person really can't stay for a long time. Or Ma Chao is really unwilling, and wants to make a comeback with his own strength.

Think beautifully!

However, because of this, Zhang Lu was in a dilemma, so he brought Yang Song over. Yang Song thought about it, and put forward another suggestion, saying that he could let his younger brother Yang Bai go to monitor Ma Chao, and report it immediately if there was anything abnormal. Zhang Lu nodded in agreement.

After Pang De followed Ma Chao to Hanzhong, perhaps because he was not accustomed to the water and soil, he was always ill. Ma Chao was helpless, so he only took Ma Dai and Yang Bai, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses, and went straight to Jiameng Pass.

When Liu Bei from Fucheng heard that Ma Chao had raised troops to attack Jiameng Pass, he was immediately shocked, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have treated Ma Chao like that when he was acting like this.

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Liu Zhang's plan is very good, there must be a master behind him." ”

Zhuge Liang pondered who was behind Liu Zhang, if this person was not removed, the danger would be endless. But Liu Bei didn't care about this, and asked anxiously: "Military advisor, what should I do this time?" ”

"Ma Chao's martial arts are superb, and he can't resist if he is not a winged dragon!" Zhuge Liang said.

"In this way, let the third brother return and face Ma Chao."

Zhang Fei, who was stationed at the north gate of Luocheng, heard that he was going to fight, or going to fight Ma Chao, and shouted excitedly. Ma Chao's reputation is well-known, and he is the master he dreams of defeating.

So, Zhang Fei didn't go back to Fucheng, called Wei Yan, led 5,000 men and horses, and went directly to Jiameng Pass!

As soon as he heard that Zhang Fei went to Jiameng Pass without saying hello, Zhuge Liang was suddenly unhappy, Liu Bei hurriedly compensated for his brother, and said that he would be severely punished after he went back! Zhuge Liang had no choice but to work with Liu Bei to temporarily give up the idea of capturing Luocheng, and hurriedly went north to chase Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei and Wei Yan traveled day and night, and a week later, they came to Jiameng Pass. At this time, Ma Chao was already under the city, and the defender Meng Da was commanding the defense.

Hearing that Zhang Fei and Wei Yan had arrived, Meng Da was overjoyed and hurriedly went out of the city to greet him, Zhang Fei asked, "Ma Chao is there?" ”

"General Hui, he is about to attack the city!"

"Wait until I take his head!" Zhang Fei arrogantly put on a posture.

"General Zhang, Ma Chao can't be underestimated!" Meng Da hurriedly stopped in front of the horse.

"Hmph, don't you underestimate my old Zhang?" Zhang Fei snorted coldly, couldn't help but say, and rushed out of the city with five thousand soldiers and horses with Wei Yan.

Ma Chao had just set up camp, and as soon as he heard that Jia Mengguan had taken the initiative to attack, he laughed out loud and immediately sent Ma Dai and Yang Bai out to meet him.

The war drums rumbled, the flags were waved, Yang Bai met Wei Yan, and the two big knives quickly became entangled. Since Pang Tong died, Wei Yan had been holding back the fire in his belly, so the attack was particularly fierce, and the big knife rolled up gusts of wind, and the move went straight to the fatal place on Yang Bai's body.

Yang Bai's martial arts were mediocre, so he relied on his brother Yang Song to make a living, and he wanted to take this opportunity to come out to make meritorious contributions, but he unfortunately met a fierce general like Wei Yan, and he was in danger without a few moves, and almost lost his life, and his face was sallow and he hurriedly retreated.

Over there, Zhang Fei and Ma Dai also began to make moves, Zhang Fei saw that the general in front of him was very high, and his demeanor was excellent, and he secretly sighed that he had a good appearance, but it was a pity that my old Zhang was not born with such a good skin.

Zhang Fei deserted his brain, shook his hand with all his might, and the Zhangba snake spear was like a spirit snake out of a hole, and with lightning speed, it went straight to Ma Dai's chest.

Ma Dai hurriedly crossed the knife to block, but felt that the strength on the Zhangba snake spear was very amazing, and he didn't block it, so he could only bow his head suddenly, and he could dodge a blow.

Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation to raise the snake spear high and smashed it at Ma Dai's back, Ma Dai held the big knife with both hands to meet him, but he was almost out of breath by Zhang Fei's ten thousand catties of strength, and he was sweating profusely.

"Haha, Xiliang Ma Chao is nothing more than that!" Zhang Fei let out a deafening laugh.

"I'm not Ma Chao, I'm Ma Daiye!" Ma Dai said with a red face.

Well? Zhang Fei was stunned, he didn't expect the genes of the Ma family to be so good, even Ma Dai looked like a dog. Zhang Fei's subordinates couldn't help but loosen their strength, and Ma Dai took the opportunity to dodge, panting.

"Don't say it sooner!"

Zhang Fei snorted dissatisfiedly, put away his spear and said, "You are not my opponent, let that Ma Chao come out and fight with me Zhang Fei!" ”
