When Ma Chao was defeated, he fled to Longxi with Ma Dai, Pang De and others, and took refuge in Zhang Lu, Cao Cao led his troops back to Xuchang, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei fell out, Liu Bei was ready to march into Chengdu, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu formed an alliance, and Zhang Lu sent Ma Chao to aid Liu Zhang.

At this time, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, the phoenix chick was dead, Zhuge Kongming followed Liu Bei to Chengdu, it was rumored that Wolong and the phoenix chick had one person to settle the world, and now there is only one person in Wolong, he is the one who can turn the clouds and rain.

Ma Chao came to Zhang Lu's tent, and Zhang Lu was full of joy, "The last general, Ma Chao, meet the lord." Zhang Lu looked at the person in front of him with joy in his eyes, "Meng Qi, hurry up." From now on, I'll make this my home. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Just lost the battle, Ma Chao was depressed, he felt a little guilty in his heart, the proud Jin Ma Chao back then, the boy died in the border field, and he was buried with a horse leather shroud, and now he is also a little discouraged, but they can only make a slight adjustment here, and they can't stay here for a long time, because Zhang Lu is difficult to achieve a big deal.

One day, Zhang Lu sent someone to call Ma Chao to go, "Meng Qi, you're here." Looking at him Ma Chao but couldn't be happy, Ma Chao has the courage of ten thousand people, and Zhang Lu has already danced with his eyebrows.

Ma Chao was not so happy, because with Zhang Lu's intelligence and strategy, he was not a master, and it was difficult to compete with Cao Cao.

Ma Chao opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what happened when the lord called me?" Zhang Lu pulled Ma Chao to chatter, "Meng Qi, you are not young, you have changed to a family, I have a daughter, who is at a good age, and I also admire Meng Qi very much, I don't know if Meng Qi will agree?" ”

"Thank you to the lord, Ma Chao will do his best to serve the lord."

Zhang Lu couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "Okay, let's pick a day to get married." In order to grasp Ma Chao more firmly, it is not surprising that Zhang Lu came up with a way to get married, women are born like duckweed, which has been the case since ancient times.

Zhang Lu has a daughter, named Zhang Qiying, beautiful as a flower, Ma Chao is heroic, heroic and beautiful, a match made in heaven, according to common sense, Ma Chao should be happy, but he can't be happy.

At this time, in Yang Song's home, there was an extra box of jewelry out of thin air, and a note was attached to it, which read: "Prevent Zhang Lu from marrying a daughter." He didn't know who had sent him the money, but he would do it.

Yang Song, a strategist under Zhang Lu's account, is extremely greedy for money, forgetful of righteousness, and despised by others.

With a military advisor like Yang Song, how could Zhang Lu be undefeated? He only cares about his own future, so it seems that Yang Song is no different from a villain, such as a fish on land, eager to get a spoonful of water to wet itself (just like a fish on land and wants to moisten itself with a spoonful of water).

If Zhang Lu's daughter marries Ma Chao, Ma Chao will not leave easily, and if he wants revenge, he can't be trapped by his children's private affairs.

--Report, lord, Zhang Lu sent you to attack Liu Bei, please go and capture Jiameng Pass. --

Now under Zhang Lu's account, Pang De is sick, and only Ma Chao and Ma Dai are left to choose a day to go on the expedition. Liu Bei also moved, "Military advisor, Ma Chao is coming, who should be sent to resist?" ”

"Send Yide (Zhang Fei) to go, then Ma Chao is brave and unstrategic, Yide can go."

Zhao Yun listened to Liu Bei's words and thought thoughtfully, "I heard that Ma Chao has a new strategist, which is very powerful." "The identity of this person is very mysterious, no one has asked who his name is, where he came from, everything seems to be hidden, and the details are unknown.

"Alright, let's go with Yide to have a look." Now that the troubled times have produced talents, they have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, each of them is very unexpected, if they can recruit Ma Chao, then this person can also receive his command.

Soon, Ma Chao and Zixuan came to the gate of Jia Mengguan where Zhang Fei was stationed and scolded, "Zhang Fei, then Cao Cao was beaten by me and cut off his beard and robe, don't you surrender?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei did not show weakness, "Ma'er, when I shouted at Changbanpo, Cao Cao's courage was frightened, do you still dare to come and send him to death?" ”

Ma Chao was not to be outdone, and looked at the person in front of him to arouse his determination to kill, "Then I will kill you first, and then take Jiameng Pass." ”

The two fought from noon to evening, and they did not see each other.

"Mingjin retreats." In the army, his younger brother Ma Dai received such a note, so he shouted, hearing the sound of hitting metal, Ma Chao also came back very unwillingly, he must want to fight Zhang Fei to the death.

"Horses, there's a kind of night battle tonight." Looking at the back of Ma Chao leaving, Zhang Fei shouted loudly, Zhang Fei is not reconciled, there are very few people in the world who can tie with him, so he can't let go of Ma Chao, and he must distinguish the superior.

"Why don't you let me fight that guy again?"

Ma Chao returned to the tent and said angrily to the emaciated figure behind the screen, the man was not shocked, but he was helpless in the face of his questioning.

"Two tigers will be injured when they fight, so it's better not to go tonight." The voice is very low, there is weakness, he doesn't know much about Zhang Fei, and the opponent is not just Zhang Fei but Liu Bei behind him, Liu Bei has Wolong under his account is unfathomable, although other strategists can ignore it, but Ma Chao is the only one in the army whose strength is extraordinary, and Ma Dai is much inferior to him.

"I have promised, how can I go back?" Ma Chao had to go.

At night, the lights outside Jia Meng Pass were bright, as if it was daytime, the two began to fight again, Zhuge Kongming also took advantage of the two to fight from the west gate into the city, suddenly Ma Chao fled to the rear of the army, Zhang Fei also chased over, Ma Chao took an iron ball and threw it back, was beaten by Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei shot an arrow at the fleeing Ma Chao, the two of you come and go or don't know.

Liu Bei stood on the city wall and looked at the two tiger generals, brave and extraordinary, and Kong Ming lupine scarf also came to the city gate to watch, "Military advisor, do you know who the Confucian under Ma Chao is?" ”

"It's familiar, but I don't know." Kong Ming looked at the Confucian student in Ma Chao's army, who couldn't see his face clearly with a light veil, and deliberately covered it, thinking that he didn't want people to know his identity.

"The military advisor has a good plan, and Ma Chao will definitely use it for me." Liu Bei clenched his fists and stared at the man, saying that he was eager to seek talent and a corporal of Lixian, but he also wanted someone who could help him

"No."

Zhang Fei ran into the distance, Ma Chao chased behind, Ma Chao didn't think much about chasing after him, who knew that Zhang Fei had already set a trap, and it took a lot of twists and turns to escape and return to the army.

On the other hand, Liu Bei bribed Zhang Lu's military advisor Yang Song, Yang Song was greedy, particularly greedy, and had no principles, whoever gave more money would do things for whom, Liu Bei spent a lot of money to buy him off, making Zhang Lu and Ma Chao suspicious of each other, Ma Chao was ordered to return to the army, and was rejected when he came to the city gate, so he had to take the army to find another way out.

I wanted to leave Zhang Lu with enough grain and grass, but now I had to make plans early, when Zhuge Liang came to the camp, Ma Chao was angry and looked at Kong Ming angrily, "Is Mr. here to be a lobbyist?" ”

The weather was still a little hot, Kong Ming shook the feather fan lightly, and said in a slow voice, "No, no, no, I'm here to show General Ma Chao a clear way." ”

"See my sword? If you say something wrong, General, please try the sword for me. ”

There was a black shadow behind the screen, unconsciously gathering his fists, a little nervous, Ma Chao was brave by nature, if he wanted to kill Kong Ming, it would not be difficult, if he moved, he would definitely not be able to stop him,

Besides, he was the only one who came, and he was bold enough.

Kong Ming smiled, and then said, "I'm afraid that I didn't die under the sword, the general will die under the sword first." ”

"You ......"

"The general is now suspected by Zhang Lu, with an army and nowhere to go, he can't save the emperor in danger, and he can't avenge his father, it's really like a lost dog."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Ma Chao was also very ashamed and sad at the same time, hating himself for being powerless, "There are so many sword and axe men in ambush in the hall, if you have the energy to deal with Liang, it is better to think about how to protect yourself!" ”

As soon as he came in, he felt that something was wrong, it was unusually quiet and there was a lot of breathing sound, and he knew that Ma Chao had arranged someone to threaten Kong Ming.

Ma Chao let the knife and axe go down, only Ma Chao and the person hiding behind the screen in the hall, he changed his tone, became earnest, and began to persuade, "Why don't the general take refuge in Uncle Liuhuang?"

The identity of my lord and uncle is personally recognized by His Majesty today, and I want General Ma Teng to make a bloody alliance on the jade belt edict of the Han Emperor back then, and fight against Cao and the thief, the Han thief is not separated, and the royal industry is not partial, so why not inherit this alliance? ”

Ma Chao secretly thought to himself, except for Liu Bei now, there is really nothing to take refuge into, and it is not impossible to belong to Liu Bei's subordinates, but there was no way out at the beginning, but now that Zhuge Liang is here, they have already sold the first step, as long as they go along.

"Sir said well, I am willing to surrender to the emperor's uncle, then please ask Mr. to take the first step and I will arrive later."

As the saying goes, when the moon is full, the water is full, the water is overflowing, and Taigang is broken, as the saying goes, it is good, but when the moon is full, the water overflow is full, and there is no need for anything else.

After Kong Ming left, the man behind the screen was silent, and only slowly spoke after a while, "Since you have decided, it is okay, Liu Bei is also the master, then Kong Ming is still the same." ”

Of course, his army and his Xiliang army are in charge of him, and it is not good for others to say anything, so they can save trespassing.

At night, the silence around is abnormal, only the cicadas can be heard, the crickets sing, Ma Chao in the courtyard is practicing swords, he doesn't want to be disturbed, only to see a Confucian student, dressed in black, standing in the wind, watching from the side, Ma Chao squinted and saw him, and pressed towards Zixuan step by step, Zixuan was caught off guard

The cold sword body was already on his shoulder, Ma Chao would not have murderous intent by doing this, according to the current situation, yes, but the man asked expressionlessly: "Meng Qi, what is this for?" ”

It could be seen that Ma Chao was a little angry and a little suspicious, "Zhao Hongying, you said, are you Liu Bei's meticulous work, and you are in a group with them, just to make me surrender, aren't you?" ”

Ma Chao's strategists are none other than Zhao Hongying, Zixuan, who else can understand Liu Bei so clearly, and who else can come up with so many schemes?

He was silent, and when he looked up again, tears welled up in his eyes, warm tears dripping onto the cold sword, and a trace of smoke rose.

Zixuan replied slowly, "Meng Qi, do you doubt me?

You actually doubt me? I'm chilling, I still led the army to break through in the battle of Longxi, I fought in Jicheng to protect you desperately, you still doubt me, that's it, that's it, if you still doubt me, kill me with a sword, you don't have to doubt me, I will die blindly. ”

Ma Chao heard this, and slowly put down his sword, he didn't kill Zixuan, but just cut at the branch on the side, Zixuan knew that he was very sad now, who was not sad?

Ma Chao lost Xiliang, Yang Fu killed his wife and three young children in Yicheng, as a man, but he couldn't protect his wife and children, and now he should be at the bottom of the valley of loss, and he may never be able to get out.

Zixuan stepped forward, put his hand on his shoulder, and comforted him softly, "Meng Qi, don't be sad anymore, what you went has already gone, and you can't get it back." Ma Chao cried, Zixuan saw a big man crying for the first time, and thought it was funny, but he couldn't laugh.
