Most of Liu Bei's current generals are from ordinary backgrounds, and they have their current reputation and status with years of fighting. Ma Chao is obviously different, he was not only born as a prince, but also dominated Xiliang, if you want to subdue Ma Chao, you really need to use your brains.

Zhuge Liang responded, and ordered to close the city gate, guard the pass, and not fight with Ma Chao for the time being, he had to think carefully about how to collect Ma Chao.

Ma Chao came to scold the next day, Zhang Fei was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, eager to jump off the city tower and fight with Ma Chaoda again. But Liu Bei didn't speak, and he didn't dare to disobey the will of the eldest brother, but kept waving at Ma Chao above.

For a few days, Ma Chao scolded so much that his throat was smoking, but he still didn't see anyone fighting, so he couldn't help but feel lost, and went back to drink sullenly.

Ma Chao was bored, Zhuge Liang was no better, he held back in the house for more than ten days, and he didn't come up with any good way to subdue Ma Chao, so he couldn't help but start to miss Wang Baoyu. If Wang Baoyu is here, with his cleverness and the fact that the two of them have a lot of discussion, they will definitely be able to come up with a way to subdue Ma Chao.

Thinking of Wang Baoyu, Zhuge Liang thought of Yiling, where his wife Huang Yueying was, and the two lived a life of gathering less and leaving more. I can't remember what day we last met, but I heard my wife Huang Yueying inadvertently say that when Wang Baoyu withdrew from Xiliang with Cao Cao, he sent someone to send a stunning woman to Yiling.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile, Wang Baoyu was born with an amorous heart, and he was destined to be entangled with women. Zhuge Liang also thought that Huang Yueying said that this woman is strong in martial arts, far above Fan Jinfeng, and has a prominent family background, as if her surname is Ma.

Zhuge Liang didn't care about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he suddenly saw a light in front of him, this woman should be Ma Chao's sister!

Pregnant! Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and hurriedly found Liu Bei, saying that he was going out of the city to see Ma Chao and personally persuade him to surrender!

Liu Bei's head shook like a rattle, he just didn't agree, Pang Tong was gone, if he lost Zhuge Liang again, how would he live in the future!

Liu Bei was sincere, Zhuge Liang swore to repay the service, when the two were arguing, someone outside the door came to report, Liu Zhang's subordinate Cao Li Hui came to surrender, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly went out to greet him in person.

"The day before yesterday, I heard that Gong Li had admonished Liu Zhang, why did he return to obedience?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask vigilantly.

"Hey, if persuasion fails, he will be imprisoned. Although he has been released and the official has been reinstated, he feels that he has done his best in the past, and Liu Zhang will be defeated if he does not accept his advice, so he came to vote in order to do something. Li Hui sighed.

"With the help of the public, great things will be accomplished." Liu Bei was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

After chatting for a while, Liu Bei's face showed a melancholy look again, Li Hui knew that he was worried about Ma Chao's affairs, got up and patted his chest and said: "Hui and that Ma Chao have had a friendship in Longxi, and I would like to ask for my life to persuade Ma Chao to surrender and share the worries of the lord!" ”

Zhuge Liang definitely can't take any more risks, he can't afford to be hurt! Liu Bei was worried and didn't know who to send, but now there was someone who took the initiative to send it to the door, and immediately nodded happily in agreement.

But Zhuge Liang thought that Li Hui might not succeed, Ma Chao was both wise and brave, how could he be manipulated lightly, or called Li Hui to his residence, handed over a bag, and said sternly: "If the lobbying fails, then hand over this bag to Ma Chao, don't look at it." Otherwise, I will not spare you. ”

Li Hui hurriedly agreed, put away the tips, walked out of the pass, and went straight to the Ma Chaoda camp.

The soldiers guarding the village informed Ma Chao, Ma Chao knew that this was a lobbyist who came to persuade him to surrender, and he was very unhappy.

Li Hui came in with his head held high, and Ma Chao asked with a cold face, "Li Hui, what do you mean by being here?" ”

"Come and persuade the general to surrender." Li Hui said without concealment.

"Hmph, Liu Zhang is a villain repeatedly, how can I descend him?" Ma Chao looked disdainful.

Li Hui was embarrassed, coughed, and said, "I came to persuade Xuande Gong to surrender." ”

Oh? Have you changed masters? Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and when he pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at Li Hui and said, "If you tell me, if it displeases me, let you try the advantage of my sword." ”

"Good birds choose trees to perch, Xuande Gong is blessed all over the world, and has great ambitions, and at present, it is the only one that can compete with Cao Cao. Why don't you abandon the secret and turn to the light, in order to avenge your father's revenge and make a meritorious name? Li Hui said eloquently.

"Hmph, Zhang Lu will take revenge on me, why not Liu Bei." Ma Chao snorted coldly and raised his sword high.

Li Hui was in a big mess, and was about to beg for mercy to avoid death, when suddenly an adjutant general ran in from outside the tent and said anxiously: "General, Hanzhong Zhang Wei led the Seventh Route Army to defend the pass back. ”

"What does Zhang Lu mean by this?"

"There's a letter here!" The adjutant handed over a letter.

Ma Chao opened it and took a look, only to see Zhang Lu write on the letter: I treat you well, why do you hide your evil intentions? If you want to return to see me, you must take Xichuan, second, Liu Zhang's head, and third, Liu Bei's soldiers.

Ma Chao was so angry that he threw the letter on the ground, Li Hui saw the content with sharp eyes, and immediately fanned the flames and said: "General, someone must have slandered, and these three things are difficult to complete." ”

Ma Chao didn't care about killing Li Hui at the moment, but he thought of Yang Bai, this person was whipped twenty for his ineffective combat before, and he must have a grudge, plus his eyes have been dodging in the past few days, he must have bad intentions.

Ma Chao's brows were twisted into hemp rope, and he immediately ordered to call Yang Bai, pressed the sword on Yang Bai's neck, and asked in an evil voice: "But where are you high in Zhang Lu?" ”

Yang Bai was frightened, his face was as white as paper, of course he would deny it, and as soon as he said a word, he felt that the sword was strong, and his neck was already damp, and blood burst out.

Yang Bai was completely frightened, and kowtowed with a weak leg to admit that it was he who wrote a secret letter to his brother Yang Song, saying that Ma Chao and that Zhang Fei had different intentions and had no intention of fighting. General, this is my villain's heart for a while, and if I write a letter to my brother, I will definitely speak for the general!

Ma Chao didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he was so angry that he went down with a sword, Yang Bai's head and body were separated, and his skull rolled to Li Hui a few times, Ma Chao turned around and aimed his sword at Li Hui and said fiercely: "Since Zhang Lu can't tolerate me, I will kill you today and take Jia Meng Pass again!" ”

In the face of the bloody sword, Li Hui was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot, and at this moment of crisis, he suddenly remembered the tips given by Zhuge Liang, and hurriedly pointed to his chest with a trembling finger, and said: "I have a letter sent by Zhuge Military Division, but please read it to the general, and then kill Li Hui is not too late!" ”

"Whatever is said in the letter, tell me what it says." Ma Chao was angry, thinking that it was Li Hui's prevarication.

"I don't know the content of it, Zhuge military commander ordered, only the general can watch it." Li Hui was in a cold sweat.
