Chapter 259: Sleeping in the same bed, the Lord of Truth
To be fair, Liu Mang didn't want Ma Chao to join Liu Bei's army.
The front one represents Lu Bu and the back one represents Ma Chao.
Although they were both peerless generals, Ma Chao was not favored by Liu Bei because of his previous experience as a warlord.
After joining the Shu Han camp, except for several contacts with the Qiang people to rebel, the results were really lackluster.
If Ma Chao can be made the leader of the Qiang people and become a partial force that can be united, this is Liu Mang's ideal state.
It's a pity that Ma Chao is obviously a bit superior and thinks this is Liu Mang's way of provoking the general.
"If you can defeat Cao Cao, I, Ma Mengqi, am willing to join Uncle Liu!"
"We are both Han ministers, and it is not a disadvantage for me to call him lord!"
Ma Chao said with a loud voice: "If it weren't for your help today, I'm afraid more than half of our troops and horses would have been lost!"
"Chao, I would like to thank you all!"
Even the arrogant Ma Chao knew that if it weren't for Lu Xun's back-and-forth approach, they would have suffered heavy losses today.
The moraleless Xiliang cavalry were no different from the rabble.
"General Xing, let's make an agreement! If you defeat Cao Cao, I will definitely join the emperor's army!"
"General Ma, do you want to think about it again?"
Liu Mangdundun taught: "Our lord Liu Bei often has unreasonable thoughts about his subordinates. When sleeping, he is a classmate, and when eating, he is at the same table!"
"Especially for Mr. Jin like General Ma, he is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth! Moreover, our lord will not reject anyone who comes, even rough men like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with big beards will not pick on them!"
Chen Dao looked confused, Ma Chao defected to his lord, wouldn't that be a great thing?
Why do you have to stop me?
Only Lu Xun was as clear-eyed as water, and even secretly mocked everyone for not understanding the young master.
"This is clearly my young master's way of motivating generals! I guarantee that after Ma Chao joins, he will be convinced by the young master!"
When Pang De and Ma Dai heard this, they showed happy smiles on their faces.
"The Lord is truly merciful!"
"It is my great fortune to have a wise master like this!"
Liu Mang was a little confused, and Ma Chao grabbed his hands.
"General Xing, thank you very much! With your help today, I will know the emperor's benevolence and righteousness. This is definitely not a rumor!"
Ma Chao smiled and said: "Before, I also doubted whether I would be jealous if I joined the emperor's uncle!"
"You sleep in the same bed and eat at the same table. This is the good fortune of being a minister!"
Liu Mang was about to cry but had no tears, so he waved his hand, "Okay! If you want to sleep with Liu Bei, you have to fight off Cao Cao first!"
"Ma Chao, I heard that you are brave and good at fighting, not inferior to Lu Bu?"
When Ma Chao heard this, his competitive spirit was aroused, and he laughed and said, "Lu Bu? It's just that he was born a little early!"
Lu Xun smiled warmly: "Okay! General Ma is so confident, then I ask you to do this tomorrow..."
Ma Chao had already seen what Lu Xun was capable of, so he felt free to hand over his troops to his command.
Han Sui's men and horses were all resting, but they saw Ma Chao's soldiers acting in a hurry.
"My lord, does this guy Ma Chao already know..."
Yan Xing asked in a low voice: "Liu Bei's men are not easy to deal with! If it weren't for them, Ma Chao's army would definitely collapse today!"
Han Sui's beard and hair were white, and his triangular eyes moved as if he was thinking about something.
"No! Ma Chao is very angry and angry. If he knew what happened between you and me, he would definitely raise an army to hold us accountable."
Han Sui sneered and said, "Go quickly and capture Ma Chao's family, young and old!"
"If you advance, you can join Cao Cao, and Liangzhou will be crowned king! If you retreat, you can hold Ma Chao and his family hostage for my use!"
Yan Xing did not forget to pat the horse and say: "My lord, a wonderful plan!"
…
The next day.
At dawn, Ma Chao's three cavalrymen galloped out of Ma Chao's army and headed straight for Cao Jun's camp outside Chang'an.
No one could have imagined that only three people from the Xiliang army would be sent to rob the camp.
"The enemy is attacking!"
The soldiers on duty shouted, Xu Huang held a big ax and said angrily: "Who is here! How dare you be so arrogant!"
Perhaps he had just woken up, when a dark shadow flashed across his face, and Xu Huang couldn't see clearly what he looked like.
"Come on, Ping!"
The sword strikes down with great force!
Xu Huang's mouth was numb, and he felt that the knife was related to Yunchang's eight-point skill!
"Uncle Chen!"
"Be honest, don't be obsessed with fighting!"
Chen Dao rode his horse to follow. Their goal was more than that.
Guan Ping slashed continuously, and Xu Huang was already awake at this time.
If you are distracted in the slightest, you may be killed!
"You...you are Yunchang's son!"
"Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, the Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty!"
Before he could finish his words, a knight suddenly came out.
The spear probed like a poisonous snake and went straight to Guan Ping's heart.
Facing the giant ax that was also wrestling with him, Guan Ping was able to cope with it.
Guan Ping was obviously a little uncomfortable with his tricky marksmanship.
"Who is coming?"
"He!"
Zhang He said angrily: "What about Guan Yunchang's son? If he comes to our army, he must die!"
Xu Huang thought about his friendship with Guan Yu and did not intend to kill Guan Ping, but Zhang He had no such worries.
As a surrendered general of Yuan Shao, Zhang He was walking on thin ice and was bound to show loyalty at all times.
"Young boy with a yellow mouth, you dare to rob the camp alone!"
Zhang He was furious and attacked again with the iron gun in his hand, "Do you think you are Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
In the battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun became the nightmare of all generals in Cao's army.
Among them was Zhang He.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to fight Liu Beijun again, Zhang He would never let go of such a good opportunity.
"I didn't expect that the big-eared thief's hand would actually reach out to Liangzhou!"
"General Zhang, let me help you!"
Xu Huang and Zhang He laid siege to them, and an ordinary person would probably be in a state of panic.
Guan Ping laughed, "I'm really lucky to be able to fight against two famous generals today!"
"It's just that your camp can really stop the two of them?"
Camp?
Zhang He looked back and saw that several villages were already on fire!
"Damn it, there are only three people on the other side!"
Xu Huang said angrily: "Leave him alone and go rescue Duke Cao quickly!"
Guan Ping was naturally unwilling to give up, "Zhang He, Xu Huang, please leave! Give me a knife!"
The three men trembled together again. Cao Jun's soldiers did not dare to shoot arrows rashly for fear of accidentally injuring their own general.
Guan Ping continued to hone his martial arts skills between life and death.
"Ma Chao, Uncle Chen, it's up to you!"
In the military camp, Chen Dao met an old acquaintance.
That day at Changban Slope, if Liu Mang hadn't suddenly fired a cold arrow, the Xiahou brothers would have almost killed him.
Now when enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.
"Is it okay to leave these two good-for-nothing brothers to you?"
Ma Chao shook his spear, "But I will lower the difficulty for you first!"
Before Chen Dao could reply, Ma Chao had already rushed away.
"Ma, stop being so arrogant!"
Xiahou Dun was furious, "Wonderful talent, wait for the opportunity to shoot this man!"
Xiahou Dun shot his horse away with his gun, and stabbed Ma Chao with his spear. The latter was caught off guard and was obviously about to fall from his horse.
"Haha! Horse, your riding skills are no longer good!"
Unexpectedly, Ma Chao grabbed his horse and stabbed Xiahou Dun in the thigh.
"One-eyed dragon, dismount!"
"Liu Bei's people are left to you!"
Chen Dao looked at Xia Houyuan and said with a smile: "Bai Ge, Chen Shuzhi, please give me some advice!"
