Just when Ma Zun was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone outside shouting in a low voice: "Has Lord Taishou ever slept?" It was the voice of Lord Bo Yinxian. Ma Zun hurriedly hid the text under the pillow before sitting up and saying, "Please come in." As soon as the words fell, Yin Xian pushed the door in, stepped forward and saluted his subordinates first, and then asked: "Do you know that the Shu army has just shot a lot of inscriptions into the city?" Ma Zun was inconvenient to admit it directly, but shook his head and said, "This official doesn't know. Yin Xian then took out a piece of paper from his arms, presented it to Ma Zun with both hands, and said, "My lord, please take a look." ”

Ma Zun pretended to take it casually, and after a little look, it was no different from his own, so he said: "It's just that Zhao Shu saw that my city was strong and difficult to capture, so he used this to lure him down, which is not enough to believe." Yin Xian nodded in agreement, but said: "My lord really thinks that Tianshui City is strong and cannot be broken by the Shu army?" Although Ma Zun didn't believe it in his heart, he couldn't show it in front of his subordinates, so he said: "This is natural." Yin Xian sneered twice, but he didn't speak, just squinted at Ma Zun. Ma Zun was chilled by his back, if he usually opened his mouth to scold early, there was a ghost in his heart at the moment, and he couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?" ”

In fact, Ma Zun's every move just now, even the repeated viewing of the text in the tent, was clearly understood by Yin Xian's peeping outside. Yin Xian himself has the intention to surrender to Shu, after all, the coach Xiahou Mao has fled, a small county official, why bother to put the lives of the whole family into it? Seeing Ma Zun like this, he guessed that he also intended to betray Cao Wei, so he wanted to provoke him with words. But Ma Zun flatly denied it, and Yin Xian didn't want to say anything about it, so he laughed twice and said, "How do you think your adult is better than General Fan Chengwen?" Ma Zun shook his head, and Yin Xian asked again: "What do you think of Zhao Shu compared to Guo Huai?" Ma Zun doesn't want to know which of the two is better or worse.

Yin Xian finally said: "With the solidity of Fancheng and the bravery of General Wen, Guo Huai's partial division cannot be stopped." Now that the main force of Shu Han is pressing the realm, Lord Taishou thinks that he can hold Tianshui? Ma Zun shook his head blankly and said, "Naturally not." When the words came out, he realized that it was inappropriate, and then said: "If you can abide by the rules, if you can't keep them, you will die for the country and repay the emperor's kindness." But seeing Yin Xian sneering again, he couldn't help but be slightly angry, and said: "Could it be that you have a heart of treason, so you have such words?" ”

Yin Xian did not deny it, and replied: "Exactly." When Ma Zun heard this, he hurriedly took the sword from the side and shouted: "That is the case, Hugh blames the official for not remembering the old feelings." Yin Xian was not panicked, and still smiled: "What is under the pillow of adults?" Ma Zun suddenly understood that his actions had been known to the other party, so he reluctantly said: "This official just wants to see what Shu Jun is saying." Yin Xianfu asked, "Then why does Lord Fang Cai deny it?" Could it be that he is a thief? ”

"You ......" Ma Zun pointed at Yin Xian and suddenly had a killing intent, but heard the other party say again: "The lower official and the lord are people on the same road, why don't they act together, dedicate the city, and share the wealth?" Ma Zun was hesitant, but now that someone is willing to do things together, he can't help but feel a little moved, but he still stubbornly said: "This official is deeply favored by the emperor, how can he be in the same stream with you." The tone was no longer as resolute and fierce as Fang Cai. Yin Xian understood that Ma Zun needed a step to save face, so he continued: "The lower officials know that the Lord is loyal, but the so-called 'those who know the times are handsome'. Xiahou Mao's grace was far above the adults, but when the Shu soldiers were on the ground, they led the troops to flee, leaving the adults to stick here. If you can keep it, the credit is of course the governor of Xiahou, if you can't keep it, the adults will be beheaded by the Shu army. How to decide, adults naturally know in their hearts. ”

When Yin Xian said this, Ma Zun thought that he should surrender to Shu Han, but he pretended to hesitate for a while, and then sighed heavily, and said: "If you are not greedy for life and afraid of death, you really have to do it, and you will not be able to do it without Your Majesty's grace." Yin Xian also said a few words of relief, and then discussed how to dedicate the city.

At that time, Xiahou Mao took away the main force of the Wei army, leaving behind all the soldiers and horses of the original Tianshui County, almost all of them were Ma Zun's old department, as long as he surrendered to Shu Han with an iron heart, there would not be much resistance, and the only thing that was worrying was to join the army Cheng Wu. The two discussed properly and decided that Yin Xian would go to Shuying to ask for surrender, and Ma Zun would lead people to capture Cheng Wu and act separately.

It is said that Cheng Wu was injured, and after going down to the city, after finding a military doctor to carefully check and bandage, he felt even more tired and fell asleep. was in a deep dream, but was woken up by a few screams, Cheng Wu immediately turned over, and as soon as he pulled out the sword from the pillow, he saw Ma Zun leading people to break into the door, and the long sword in his hand was dripping with blood. Although Cheng Wu knew it in his heart, he still couldn't help but shout loudly: "Ma Zun, what do you want?" Ma Zun replied with a smile: "I want to invite the adults to enjoy the wealth together." ”

"Phew." Cheng Wu immediately scolded: "You are deeply favored by the emperor, but you don't think about retribution, and you are so honest and ashamed, do you really not know how to write the word 'shame'?" Ma Zun snorted coldly and said: "Xiahou Mao's father and son have received the favor of the three dynasties for two generations, and the Shu army has pressed the border, but they have fled with the army, but you and I are left behind. Could it be that his Xiahou Mao's life is his life, and my Ma Zun deserves to die? Without waiting for Cheng Wu to refute his words, he continued: "I have heard that General Zhao Lixian is a corporal, cherishes talents, and promises that after we return to obedience, not only will my life be safe, but I will also be promoted to the rank of knight." The great talent is eight buckets, why not descend with me, and I will not lose the title of Marquis. I don't know what you mean? ”

Cheng Wu looked up to the sky and smiled, and then said: "I want my father and son to receive the grace of the country in the world, and at this time they will repay each other for death, how can they be the same as you?" He shook the sword in front of him and said, "Today is just death, who dares to come forward and fight me to death?" Although Ma Zun knew that Cheng Wu had no martial arts and was injured, he couldn't help but be afraid when he saw his momentum, looked back left and right, and said, "Take it with me." ”

Although Ma Zun's personal soldiers behind him were ordered to surrender, they were indeed unwilling to die, but they were a little hesitant to ask them to make a move with Cheng Wu. After all, those who have a little bloody conscience can remember the picture of Cheng Wu's calm command and heroic battle during the day, and they are extremely admired in their hearts. was yelled at by Ma Zun several times, and a group of personal soldiers just looked at me, I looked at you, and no one dared to raise their swords forward.

Ma Zun was angry and angry, and casually killed a personal soldier beside him, shouting: "If you don't step forward, take this as an example." Everyone was forced by his obscenity, and they all had to slowly move closer to Cheng Wu. Cheng Wunai pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "What kind of person is Ma Zun, don't you know?" Is it worth waiting for such a Shangguan to die again? When the sergeants heard this, they stopped again, and looked at Ma Zun with their eyes, as if they were thinking about the scene when their comrades had just been killed.

Ma Zun saw that everyone stopped moving again, he was used to acting as a prestige on weekdays, he never thought that his subordinates would disobey his orders, and he was even more angry, and he actually swung his sword and slashed at the soldiers around him. This time, the other party was already prepared, how could he be willing to be killed, and immediately raised his sword to hold Ma Zun's iron sword, and shouted to the left and right robes: "Brothers, such a person, why should we work for him again?" It's better to kill it, and then follow Master Cheng together. Ma Zun had no kindness in his usual stay, but now he killed innocents in vain, which had aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. Now that someone is up, it is natural that they will respond to the call, and several people will raise their knives to surround them in the middle.

Ma Zun realized the mistake he had made at this moment, and immediately panicked, but he still reluctantly shouted: "Can you wait for a rebellion?" The sergeant sneered twice, and said, "If you want to surrender to Shu Han, who is the rebel?" My brothers are also good men, how can we let you slaughter them? Then he turned to the crowd and shouted, "Brothers, do you say that you should avenge the death of your brother?" ”

"Revenge, revenge." The voices came and went, Ma Zun finally felt extremely frightened, his legs were weak, he fell to the ground, and begged: "Don't kill me, don't kill me......" Before the words fell, the other party had already raised the knife and fell, and Ma Zun's head was forever separated from his body.

Although Cheng Wu deliberately provoked everyone's dissatisfaction with Ma Zun, he didn't expect the situation in front of him to take such a sharp turn, and he really felt that he had walked through the ghost gate closed, and he liked it very much. But before he had time to open his mouth to comfort everyone, he heard someone outside shouting: "The Shu army has entered the city, the Shu army has entered the city......" but it turned out that Yin Xian went to the Shu camp to ask for surrender, and Zhao Shu had already prepared, the front of the Shu army was not far outside Tianshui City, just waiting for an order, and the soldiers came to the city. The soldiers on the city gate were all Ma Zun's subordinates, who had already known about the surrender of Taishou, and saw that Yin Xian was leading the way, so instead of making any resistance, they opened the door to greet each other, and soon let the Shu army commander drive straight into the city.

Cheng Wu knew that the general trend had gone, so he let out a long sigh and said to everyone in the room: "If you kill Ma Zun, you will not be able to tolerate Zhao Shu, so let's run for your life quickly." The sergeants killed Ma Zun in a fit of rage, but they did not expect such consequences. Now that the Shu army has entered the city, although it can't resist if it wants to, it wants to surrender but killed Ma Zun, and went to the Shu camp to know if he was killed by Zhao Shu? At this moment, there is only one way to escape for your life. As soon as Cheng Wu's words were finished, many people were moved, quietly exited the room, and escaped separately. There were a few consciences left, and they all stayed to look at Cheng Wu and persuade him to flee for his life together.
