Chapter five hundred and fiftieth Yan Liang's coup
Yes, at that moment, Ma Chao did have murderous intentions.
Anyone who dares to betray him will be killed by him without hesitation.
Ma Dai has not yet felt the murderous intention of Ma Chao. He is still analyzing the pros and cons and trying to convince his brother.
A trace of worry flashed across Pang De's eyes. He was worried about Ma Dai's life.
Having followed Ma Chao for so many years, as a confidant, he knows Ma Chao very well, and he is well aware of Ma Chao's ruthlessness.
For example, Zhang Lu only suspected that Ma Chao would betray him, so he summoned him to return to Nanzheng, but Ma Chao refused to obey, which made Zhang Lu even more suspicious and killed Ma Teng in anger.
In other words, the deaths of brothers Ma Teng and Ma Tie are inseparable from Ma Chao.
Pound knew very well that Ma Chao could ignore the lives of his own father and brothers, so why would he care about a cousin.
However, after staring at Ma Dai for a long time, Ma Chao suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes.
Today is different from the past. Now that all the children of the Ma family have been killed, Ma Chao has only one younger brother, Ma Dai, left. If Ma Dai is killed, Ma Chao will be alone in the family.
Pang De secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Ma Dai was completely unaware and continued to persuade Ma Chao.
"Shut up!" Ma Chao shouted, interrupting Ma Dai impatiently.
Ma Dai was startled and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
But Ma Chao glared at him and said angrily: "The Yan thief is the mortal enemy of my Ma family. You can surrender to him. He still has the nerve to come back and persuade me to surrender too, Ma Dai. Do you know that you have completely disgraced my Ma family!"
"
In front of Pang De, Ma Chao openly humiliated and cursed his brother.
Ma Dai was annoyed when he heard this, but he endured it. He said sternly: "It was clearly us who took the initiative to provoke Yan Ziyi because of Cao's traitor. In this battle of Fucheng, we are also working hard for Liu Zhang and have to go against Yan Ziyi. Yan Ziyi
First he didn't kill my brother, and second he didn't take my territory, so why did he become our mortal enemy?"
Ma Dai's words made Ma Chao choke back.
In fact, since they knew they fell into Cao Cao's plan, Ma Dai and others have always regretted sending troops to attack Yan Liang. They did not regard Yan Liang as their enemy at all.
The so-called mortal enemy of the Ma family is just Ma Chao's wishful thinking.
"I don't care about him a lot, but in short, that Yan thief defeated me, Ma Chao, twice, and he is the mortal enemy of my Ma family." Ma Chao became angry and became a little unreasonable.
Seeing Ma Chao's arrogance, Ma Dai was annoyed and snorted: "What kind of enemy is the Ma family? In my opinion, he is just your enemy."
Ma Dai's words were full of sarcasm, clearly mocking Ma Chao for putting his own personal grudges above the interests of the Ma family.
snap
Ma Chao was furious and started to slap the case, his eyes blazing with anger.
Ma Dai's words stung Ma Chao's pain, making him feel angry and angry. Those hands subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword.
Ma Chao was furious and had murderous intent again.
Pang De was taken aback and hurriedly stopped in the middle and advised: "General, calm down. General Ziyue also made a mistake. General, please don't take offense."
After saying this, Pound turned to Ma Dai again, winked at him, and signaled Ma Dai to quickly apologize to Ma Chao.
Ma Dai was unmoved and said coldly: "Brother, although my words may not be pleasant to the ears, they are all psychological. Now Yunlu is married to Yan Ziyi and is pregnant. We surrender to Yan Ziyi.
This is actually the best and only way out. I just hope that you, brother, can calm down and weigh the pros and cons."
"fart!"
Ma Chao became more and more angry and said angrily: "Yunlu is not as good at martial arts and fell into the hands of the Yan thief. It is a shame for our Ma family. If the revival of our Ma family depends on the relationship of a woman, my Ma Chao's
Where is the face, where is the reputation of the Ma family!"
Ma Chao was so angry that he uttered "foul language" directly.
"Brother, how can you say that to Yunlu? Are you still her biological brother?"
Ma Dai was also angry. He thought that his younger sister was captured because she was fighting for the Ma family after all, but now she was denounced as a shame by Ma Chao. It was really too much.
"She succumbed to Yan Liang and brought shame to the Ma family's reputation. It's okay to deny such a shameless sister." Ma Chao waved his sleeves angrily and spoke with the utmost emotion.
Those heartless words made Ma Dai feel extremely chilled in an instant.
Ma Dai knew that his cousin was cold and ruthless, but he never thought that Ma Chao could be so ruthless, so ruthless that he would not recognize any of his relatives.
The sad and angry Ma Dai only stared at Ma Chao, not knowing what else to say.
Ma Chao, on the other hand, had an angry look on his face, staring coldly at Ma Dai, breathing heavily through his nose.
The two brothers looked at each other like this, and the atmosphere in the entire tent was as cold and solemn as an abyss.
Pound, who was in the middle, wanted to persuade, but in this atmosphere, he was helpless and didn't know how to speak.
During the confrontation, there was suddenly a loud noise outside the tent.
A soldier rushed into the tent and said hurriedly: "General Qi, Zhang Ren and Wu Yifeng are rushing this way if they want to see the general, and the young men can't stop them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent curtain was lifted, and Zhang Ren and Wu Yi led a group of people into the tent.
Ma Chao's anger immediately transferred from his cousin to the two Shu generals.
"You two broke into my general's main tent without warning. You really don't take Ma Chao seriously!" Ma Chao glared at the two of them and said angrily.
Zhang Ren bowed his hand in a perfunctory manner, "It's a very important matter. I came in before the branch committee could make it. Please forgive me, General Ma."
"What's the big deal?" Ma Chao temporarily suppressed his anger.
Zhang Ren turned his attention to Ma Dai and asked: "General Ma, I heard that in the previous battle, your younger brother was captured by Yan thief, but now he has returned to Fucheng for no reason. Such a suspicious thing, wouldn't General Ma want to
Give us an explanation?"
Zhang and Ren had already been informed of Ma Dai's entry into the city. They were suspicious, so they came after hearing the news.
In front of outsiders, Ma Dai would not tell the truth. Instead, he simply said: "I was captured by Yan Liang, but I took advantage of him and killed the guards. That's why I escaped."
Ma Dai gave such an explanation, which was barely reasonable.
"Yan camp has tens of thousands of troops and is heavily guarded. You said that you killed the guards and still managed to escape quietly. Do you think we are so easy to fool?" Zhang Ren didn't believe it at all, and his words were full of sarcasm.
"How did General Zhang think I came back?" Ma Dai asked calmly.
Zhang Ren snorted and said coldly: "This is exactly the purpose of our coming here. Ma Mengqi, your brother has returned this time, and his behavior is very suspicious. Now the enemy is facing us. We must not be negligent. We want to take your brother with us."
Let's go, I'll cross-examine and investigate in detail, you probably won't mind."
It turned out that the two of them came to capture Ma Dai.
Ma Dai's expression changed and he looked at Ma Chao. He believed that with Ma Chao's arrogant temperament, although he was angry with him just now, he would never let outsiders take him away in front of Ma Chao.
And Ma Chao's face indeed showed a look of sullenness.
"Who do you think you are, why are you questioning my General Ziyue?" Pang De, who had a strong personality, got angry before Ma Chao and shouted loudly.
But Wu Yi said: "General Pang, don't get excited. As a guard appointed by the lord, I have the responsibility to supervise the generals in Fucheng. This investigation of Ma Ziyue is just a routine matter."
Wu Yi's words sounded high-sounding and impeccable, but in fact he clearly did not believe their newly surrendered Xiliang army.
"General, you can't agree to them." Pang De turned to Ma Chao, his face full of anger.
Zhang Ren said coldly: "General Ma has surrendered to the lord, so he should obey the lord's orders unconditionally. Wu Hujun is representing the lord now. Is it possible? General Ma, you still dare to go against the lord's will. So, then
If so, I'm afraid my lord's sincerity in surrendering to General Ma will be guessed."
Zhang Ren's words were clearly threatening Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was so angry that the fire of anger was about to burst out.
After gritting his teeth secretly for a long time, Ma Chao swallowed down the anger on his lips, rolled his sleeves and turned around, snorting coldly: "This general has a clear conscience. If you want to investigate and interrogate, just take him away."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Dai was shocked. He never expected that his brother would actually allow him to be taken away.
As for Pound on the side, he was also shocked and couldn't understand why Ma Chao didn't protect his brother so much.
But the corner of Zhang Ren's mouth raised a hint of pride, and he waved his hand and said: "Ma Ziyue, please."
At this point, Ma Dai had no choice but to look at Ma Chao with disappointment, turned around and strode away.
Zhang and Ren also said goodbye and went out, while Pound sighed helplessly and walked out of the tent.
Ma Chao was the only one left in the big tent.
"Brother, for the great cause of reviving the Ma family, I can only wrong you as a brother. I hope you can understand the difficulties of being a brother."
Ma Chao shook his head and sighed to himself, his face full of helplessness.
…
The next day, Yan Jun camped.
"My lord, after all, Ma Dai is Ma Chao's biological brother. Now that my lord has let him go, what should I do if he takes the opportunity to get out of trouble?"
Hearing that Yan Liang let Ma Dai go last night, Zhang Song came early in the morning to express his concern.
"Ma Ziyue is a man who understands current affairs. I believe he will not do such stupid things." Yan Liang was full of self-confidence and had no doubts about his decision-making.
Zhang Song couldn't say anything else, so he added: "The morale of the enemy troops in Fucheng is low today and people are panicked. Why don't my lord take the opportunity to attack the city on a large scale and capture Fucheng in one fell swoop?"
"Wait a little longer, are you waiting for an opportunity?" Yan Liang said lightly.
An opportunity?
Zhang Song looked puzzled. He was winning a big victory and his morale was high, but the enemy had lost more than half of his army. Isn't this a great opportunity?
Yan Liang saw what he was thinking and smiled: "I am waiting for the Shu army to fight among themselves. Ma Chao and Zhang Ren are suspicious of each other. At that time, it is the best time to attack the city."
I see.
"Shu Song bluntly said that although the Shu army is defeated now, under this situation, they can only defend Fucheng and tide over the difficulties by working together. I'm afraid it will not be easy for them to fight among themselves."
Obviously, Zhang Song understood what Yan Liang meant, but he didn't quite agree.
At this time, a mysterious sneer appeared on Yan Liang's face, "Ma Ziyue has entered the city. I believe that an internal fight among the Shu army is already taking place."
Ma Yue entered the city, and the Shu army fought internally?
Zhang Song was at a loss for a moment, pondering the connection between the two. Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. (To be continued.)
