Article 292 Doubt takes root
Han Sui asked, whether it was the tone or the wording, the bias was very obvious.
So much so that Ma Teng felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard it.
In fact, this question was not only wanted to be asked by Han Sui, but also by the princes of other ministries.
When everyone's eyes fell on Ma Chao, including Ma Teng.
Although he knew that this question was very unfavorable to Ma Chao, he had no choice but to know what Lu Bu said at that time.
However, this question, which was as sharp as a sharp knife, could not reach Ma Chao's ears.
No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but at this moment, Ma Chao is undoubtedly in a huge self-doubt, and what is circling in his mind is what Lu Bu looked like when he wielded the halberd.
Picking, provoking, teasing, stabbing, and slapping without leaking attacks, the near-perfect technique is integrated into the power of opening the mountain and rubbling, and there are really such terrible people in this world.
All generals have the same psychological barriers, they are not afraid of failure, even if the fighting general loses, it is not an unsightly thing, because whether it is a war or a fighting general, there is never a person who is undefeated in a hundred battles.
I'm afraid that after losing, I don't think that I can defeat and defeat my opponent one day through hard work, and I fall into an unprecedented dark despair like the sky is falling.
Ma Chao in front of him is like this, he was so dazzling and proud in the past, he only needed to ride on the flying sand, raise the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand, and no one would be shocked in the cold land.
However, in front of Lu Bu, he was simply taught a lesson like a child.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the other princes, he walked nearly a hundred rounds under Lu Bu's halberd, and although he was defeated, Ma Chao knew in his heart that it only took forty-six rounds for Lu Bu to defeat him.
Moreover, in those dozens of rounds, he had no chance of winning at all, and the real victory or defeat had actually been divided in the first ten rounds.
Ma Chao's heart was shrouded in a despair that he couldn't see the future, and when he closed his eyes, he could see the man holding the halberd riding a horse to kill, but General Shenweitian, who had once stepped on Xiliang, was like an ant.
In such a state of mind, how can Ma Chao listen to the questions of others.
If Ma Chao had such an attitude in the past, Yan Xing would have stepped forward a long time ago, he was the most unruly man in the entire Ten Coalition Army.
But today, he looked at Ma Chao who was in his soul, and just sighed in his heart, he was a military general, and he knew too well how depressed Ma Chao was now.
That man is simply inhuman, and killing people is not a nod to the ground, and he is completely punishing him by doing this.
Poor Ma Mengqi, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get out for a while.
If it weren't for the identity problem, Yan Xing would even want to say a few good words for him, but under the anger of his father-in-law, he could only choose to keep his mouth shut.
Seeing that Ma Chao was in a trance, Han Sui was even more angry, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he was about to make a difficulty, but Ma Teng on the handsome chair ignored Han Sui, but reminded him softly, "Meng Qi, what did Wen Yue ask you, what did Lu Bu tell you before today?" ”
Ma Chao, who was too vain, came back to his senses easily, glanced at his father in a daze, and when he fully reacted to the fact that they were asking himself just now, Ma Chao just opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally spit out three words in everyone's suspicious eyes, "It's nothing." ”
"What do you mean, nothing? That's a funny thing you say, it sounds like you're singing. ”
Not to mention Han Sui now, Li Kan couldn't help it, frowned and asked: "Before today's battle, he can obviously kill Ling, with your prestige in the army, it is impossible for Lu Bu not to know that killing you and then pursuing our army will be even more overwhelming."
But after he said a few words to you, he turned to hunt us down, shouldn't you have an explanation for this kind of thing? ”
Why?
How the hell do I know why!
If Lu Bu said something else, it wouldn't hurt to say it, but that kind of words that hurt his self-esteem had already stabbed him in the heart.
What's the matter, it's not fun, right, and you want to get a few more stabs?
Ma Chao is a bad temper, he has never eaten soft and not hard, if he put it aside in the past, for the sake of the elders, he would also be more restrained, but today, it is a dark day for Ma Chao, he seems to see that his future will be nailed to the pillar of shame for future generations to watch, where is there still the mood to please these so-called elders.
"I said it's nothing, it's nothing, if you don't believe it, go ask Lu Bu yourself!"
Ahh
Ma Chao's appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water made everyone surprised and angry, and the anger in his eyes sprayed directly towards Ma Teng.
"Meng Qi!"
This anger can't be offended, Ma Teng stood up and said sternly: "What did he tell you?" ”
"Major General!"
Pound was also a little panicked, leaned over and worried: "Say it quickly, don't make the lord angry." ”
Ma Chao's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, looking at the angry and corrupt expressions on everyone's faces, it was really unpleasant, but he couldn't look directly at the old father's earnest gaze, he raised his head in pain and took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "He said that I didn't die because I was capable, but because Lin Mo did it intentionally, you are satisfied!" ”
Originally, I thought that if I told the most painful truth, everyone would feel a little guilty, and I would have to comfort a few words if I didn't accept it, but Han Sui just snorted coldly, "It's just such a simple sentence, why don't you want to say it." ”
Simple?
Ma Chao waited for Han Sui, as if he couldn't understand the hatred in his heart after eating him, you think this matter is simple because you have no skin and no face!
Afterwards, Han Sui still didn't seem to be addicted, looking at the other princes with speculative expressions on their faces, Yin Yang and said angrily: "I hope that Lu Bu has some things that can only be said to you, but we can't listen to them." ”
"Han Sui! What do you mean by that? Ma Chao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and almost roared at Han Sui.
"My father-in-law asked more clearly, what's wrong?" Seeing that Han Sui was frightened by this momentum and took two steps back, his son-in-law quit and stood in front of Ma Chao directly with the iron spear.
"Meng Qi, this is your attitude, today Lu Bu is open to you, the Lu army has a clear goal of chasing and killing all the way, and the casualties of our various departments are not light, especially Brother Han's department, on the other hand, the Ma family's troops, heh."
Yang Qiu glanced at everyone and said with a smile like a storyteller: "It seems that the prestige is too great, and Lu Jun has to go around." ”
"That's because your subordinates are too incompetent, resentful, who is right?" Ma Chao directly turned on the crit mode, poked Yang Qiu's sore spot, and was generally about to attack.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the tent of the Chinese army was getting stronger and stronger, Ma Teng knew that if he didn't stop it, a civil strife would be staged immediately.
He struggled to slap the case, stretched out his middle finger and index finger and pointed at Ma Chao tremblingly, "Hugh wants to talk nonsense again, Uncle Yang said what happened to you, are there any elders in your eyes, if you dare to say anything more, don't blame me for serving in military law!" ”
Ma Teng's words are still very effective on weekdays, but today's Ma Chao has obviously lost his mind, in his opinion, others don't understand that he is not important, why his father also helps outsiders, obviously I have been wronged.
I shed my blood for the Ten Coalition Forces, is that how you treat me?
"I wasn't wrong! It's you, you are really capable, go out and fight Lu Bu by yourself, don't be angry with me! Ma Chao roared hysterically, if it weren't for Pound dragging him, he seemed to have the idea of doing something.
"Drag it down, drag this rebel down for me!" It's true that Ma Teng was choked with anger, but he also knew that Ma Chao shouldn't have lied, otherwise he wouldn't have lost control like this.
The problem is that now is not the time to comfort him, but to stabilize the coalition forces from civil strife.
Fortunately, Pang De and Ma Dai dragged him out, and the Chinese army tent was quiet, but the faces of the princes of all the tribes were not very good-looking at this time.
Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and Cheng Yin are okay, they are originally interested in Ma Teng, and they have also watched Ma Chao grow up since they were children, and they know the character of this tiger thing.
But Yang Qiu, Li Kan and Hou Xuan are different, they are more friendly with Han Sui, and instinctively feel that this matter seems to be the way of the Ma family, especially in today's death figures, although Ma Teng has not announced it, everyone is not blind, and they can see it.
At this time, Ma Teng was thinking about uniting people's hearts, but Han Sui spoke again, but he was playing with the horse, "General Ma, today's subordinates reported that they saw you being picked off the horse by Lu Bu, how about it, you weren't hurt, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's not a big problem." Ma Yu glanced at Han Sui and nodded.
"There's something I want to ask you about, Lu Bu chased and killed all the way, and there were corpses everywhere he went, why did you come back safely?" At this time, Han Sui's expression began to become less friendly.
There are too many strange facts today, in addition to Ma Chao's bizarre survival, Ma Wan also escaped from Lu Bu's halberd, and what's even worse is that he and Zhao Yun are chasing their own people to kill, what's the matter, do I Han Sui's subordinates have dead words written on their faces?
This question aroused the curiosity of the princes of the various ministries who were already suspicious, and they all looked at the horse play.
Even Ma Teng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xian, why is this?" ”
He regarded horse play as the direction to clear the suspicion of Ma Chao.
After all, Ma Play has been neutral all these years, not biased towards himself or Han Sui, and his words are more weighty.
Ma Yu looked at Han Sui, who was not kind to him, and then glanced around at the other princes with suspicious eyes, and finally looked at Ma Teng.
"Look at what I'm doing, you talk." Ma Teng couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart.
Ma Yu swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a while, and then said with some confidence: "He thought I was Brother Wen Yue, so he chased me all the way."
After I fell off the horse, I hurriedly reported that my surname was Ma, not Han, and then."
"And then?" Han Sui frowned and took a step forward.
Ma Yu didn't dare to say any more, and looked at Ma Teng again, who also said with a hurried face: "Then what's going on?" ”
Then he said. He said,
Of course, Ma Play didn't want to play this kind of thing out of context, but the truth was a little difficult to say, but if he didn't make it clear today, he was afraid that he would be as angry as Ma Chao, so he said angrily: "He said that my surname is Ma, is it Ma Teng's person, I saw that Meng Qi could escape under him, so he falsely claimed to be Brother Shoucheng's brother."
As a result, as soon as he heard this, he withdrew his halberd and asked me where Han Sui had gone, I pointed in a random direction, and he chased after him. ”
Wuhu
As soon as these words came out, the heads of the princes in the tent exploded.
If Lu Bu let Ma Chao go of this kind of thing can't be explained, as if they are secretly communicating with each other, then what Ma Play heard is Chi Guoguo's confession of the relationship between the two.
"Okay, okay, this makes sense, I don't know that Lu Bu, I've never dealt with him, and it's not my people who attacked Lu Ying at night, so I don't understand, why does he have such a big hatred for me.
Come to think of it, and that letter, hahaha, now it seems that it was really sent to the wrong place. ”
Han Sui showed an expression that I finally understood, and sneered: "It turns out that Lu Bu and Lin Mo are the helpers invited by Brother Shoucheng!" ”
The past emerged, and it seemed that everything was verifying Han Sui's inner suspicions.
Even in his heart, this is no longer suspicion, but the reality of Chi Guoguo!
After speaking, the iron spear in Yan Xing's right hand was raised a few points, and his left hand was protected in front of his father-in-law's chest, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
At this time, not to mention Yang Qiu and Li Kan, who are biased towards Han Sui, even the eyes of Zhang Hengji, who have always supported Ma Teng, have become weird.
Ma Teng himself felt that his head was about to explode, what is this called, you don't know Lu Bu, and I don't know him, where did you get your friendship.
Be. It's a discord meter, yes, yes, it must be a discord meter!
In fact, people's subconscious thoughts are often the closest to the real answer.
What's more, the only word Ma Teng could think of was the divisive plan, he hurriedly waved his hands and said eagerly: "Everyone, everyone! Please believe me, I would like to swear in the name of the ancestor General Fubo, that I, Ma Teng, will be inseparable from Na Lu Bu!
This is, this is Lin Mo's discord plan! If we mess up for this, it will only allow Lin Mo to succeed! ”
It's not too stupid, can you finally see it?
Pang Tong, who was still in the mood to drink next to him, sneered, a group of foolish and reckless people, aren't rabbles like you just playthings in Lin Mo's hands?
Of course, the ten princes are not all idiots like horses, and even Han Sui himself is a person with a lot of brains.
It's just that I suspect that this thing, once it takes root in my heart, can grow into a towering tree in an instant.
Could this be Lin Mo's discord scheme?
Yes, Han Sui did not doubt it.
The thing is, it's more like there's a collaboration between you, no matter how you look at it.
Instead of gambling with his life This is Lin Mo's discordant plan, Han Sui feels that it is more beneficial for him to be convinced that you will secretly communicate with each other, and after all, you will not be like meat on a chopping board and let others slaughter like today.
The other princes also looked at each other, although they didn't say anything cruel, but anyone could see that they were obviously more suspicious than believing.
Ma Teng could only walk straight to the middle of the princes, and said in a serious tone: "Brothers, think about it, what is the benefit of me secretly communicating with Lu Lin, in the night attack of the first battle, Meng Qi killed so many Lu troops, if there is collusion with him, why is it so?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and there was some truth in this.
Theoretically, if the two really cooperated, there was really no need for this, after all, that night, the casualties of the Lu army were really heavy.
"Who knows if you're casting a long line to catch a big fish." A thought of anger arises, and a million obstacles open.
Han Sui's imagination now is that no matter what Ma Teng says, he can find a corresponding excuse for him.
In fact, regardless of whether Han Sui had this attitude or not, the doubts in the hearts of the other eight princes alone could not be fooled by just these few words.
To prove yourself, you still have to come up with something practical.
Ma Teng pondered for a moment, and he didn't have any idea in his heart, but for the sake of the Ten Coalition Forces and for himself, he still had to bite the bullet and say something, "Everyone, we used to be brothers and sisters, and today you have doubts about me, it is a failure to be a big brother."
Today, in order to show my innocence, I will continue to fight with Na Lu Bu endlessly, you can watch from the wall, even if you die, you must also prove your innocence! ”
After that, he turned around proudly and walked back to the handsome chair behind the parchment map that had been dried, leaving only a lonely back for everyone.
"Then I'll see." Han Sui snorted coldly and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, Yang Qiu, Li Kan and Hou Xuan also left.
The neutral horse play felt that the situation was not quite right, and he was afraid that he would be suspected of staying and left.
The rest of the people were all supporters of Ma Teng in the past, and in the end they just sighed and shook their heads and left.
When the people were all clean in the military tent, Ma Teng was like a deflated ball, and he was paralyzed in an instant.
The situation is not good.
In this defeat, the loss of men and horses is about 20,000, and the bad consequence is that it can disintegrate the ten coalition forces from the root.
He understands that in the final analysis, it is all because of the discord of people.
However, he couldn't let things get worse, and he set his sights on one man, the only man he could rely on.
Ma Teng stepped forward, bowed to Pang Tong with a proud face, and sighed: "Mr. Long, now only Mr. can save the ten coalition forces, and please ask Mr. to take action." ”
Pang Tong is such an arrogant man, seeing that the script is completely out of his control, but he only sneered coldly, anyway, he can't suffer a loss.
If you can't accept the petition this time, it's a big deal to leave.
I was able to walk in Pengcheng at the beginning, but what's the matter, I can't go now?
He also has a family in his heart, but he will never be able to live for the interests of the family like Pang Degong.
"Does my word still work?"
probably guessed that Pang Tong was still unhappy that he didn't listen to him before, and fell for Zhao Yun's empty plan, so he bowed down again, "Please teach me, sir." ”
In fact, Ma Teng's age can be Pang Tong's father, and with the title of General Fubo, it can already be regarded as giving enough face.
Pang Tong is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and besides, he still points to selling them for a good price.
If this time is dealt with, the ten people should be obedient to their words.
When the time comes, no matter how much Lin Mo wants to recruit himself, he also knows what grade he is.
So, after he took a long breath, he said slowly: "General, although Lin Mo is young, he is a cunning fox, if you want to earn him, you still need to deploy it." ”
"Please sir." Now, Ma Teng's posture is really low enough.
Pang Tong didn't show off, and said straight to the point: "Sima Lang, this chess piece was given to the general by Cao Cao, and it has reached the most critical time, and it can be used." ”
"yes, how did I forget him!"
Ma Teng's brows finally stretched a little, and there was a bit of surprise in his tired eyes, "Use him as bait to lead the Lu army to attack, and you will definitely be defeated!" ”
Pang Tong smiled slightly, but shook his head, "General, I have already said just now, although Lin Mo is young, he is a cunning fox, it is too simple to do this, he will not believe it." ”
"Oh?"
Ma Teng sighed lightly, "I don't know how Mr. wants to set up a game?" ”
Pang Tong unhurriedly untied the wine gourd on his waist, and after pouring a big sip, he said the plan in his heart in one breath, and Ma Teng, who was originally full of melancholy, rubbed his hands excitedly, "Okay!" Good way! Good strategy! What a calculation! Mr. saved me this time, the credit will never be forgotten, this time to break Lu, Mr. is the first credit!
Sir, don't worry, Han Sui and a few of them are not convinced by me, but Zhang Heng and they will still listen to me, and the soldiers and horses should be enough at that time. ”
"Then congratulations to the general in advance."
The two looked at each other and smiled, but they had different thoughts.
Of course, at this moment, a consensus was reached on the matter of defeating Lu Lin.
