Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 651 Meng Qi violently kills Man Chong
"how do I say this?"

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and asked.

"My lord, that Ma Chao is Liu Ziyan who defected to Liu Ziyan after his father died and had nowhere to go. Moreover, after he defected to Liu Ziyan, he did not hand over his military power, but stayed in Bingzhou temporarily. He seized Xiliang, but was defeated by Han Sui and the Qiang people, so he had to return to Liu Wei, but this time Liu Ziyan did not take Ma Chao with him in his expedition to Xiliang, but Ma Chao's subordinates Pang De and Ma Dai. It can be seen from this that Ma Chao and Liu Wei are inseparable in appearance, and they are not loyal to Liu Wei. We can send someone to report their interests, and then promise him a high-ranking official with a generous salary, saying that if Xiliang is captured in the future, the Ma family will be the lord of Xiliang for generations. , how can Ma Chao not be tempted, he will definitely come to join him!"

"But Ma Chao has no more than ten thousand soldiers, and no more than ten generals. He is also an ambitious guy. What use do I need him for?"

Cao Cao really couldn't think of what use Ma Chao could be to him.

"My lord, he is of no use to us, but when the two armies are at war, he ignites the fire behind the Hebei army and attacks the Hebei army with us back and forth. How can the Hebei army stay in chaos! Suddenly assassinate Liu An, kill Liu An, and the Hebei army will be leaderless, isn't that the fish on the chopping board, let us slaughter it?"

Cheng Yu explained.

"Good idea, but who do you want to send to lobby Ma Chao?"

"My lord, see how Bo Ning is!"

Cheng Yu asked Cao Cao.

"Man Chong? That's right! Man Boning can speak kind words, so you can go lobby Ma Chao! Come, find Man Boning to discuss matters!"

After a while, Man Chong came to Cao Cao's camp.

"Chen Manchong has seen the lord!"

"Free gift!"

Cao Cao hurriedly walked around the table to Man Chong, helped him up, and said, "Bo Ning, I have something to ask, but I don't know if Bo Ning is willing!"

"My lord has orders, but it's okay to say!"

"I want you to persuade Ma Chao to turn his back on him, are you sure?"

Cao Cao looked directly at Man Chong.

"This...! Weichen is willing to give it a try!"

Man Chong thought about it for a long time before agreeing to Cao Cao, because firstly he and Ma Chao had no friendship, and secondly, Ma Chao had an enmity with Cao Cao. He was not sure, but although Cao Cao said this was a request, it was actually an order. Can allow him to refute.

"Okay! Berning will definitely succeed if he goes there!"

Cao Cao poured Man Chong a glass of wine himself: "I wish Boning great success!"

Man Chong took the wine glass that Cao Cao handed over, drank it all in one gulp, then turned around and left the tent, walking towards the Hebei military camp.As everyone knows, this glass of wine is his dead wine.

As soon as Man Chong arrived at the Hebei army camp, after finding the Xiliang dragoons stationed by Ma Chao, he was discovered, and immediately someone ran to Liu An's camp.

"His Royal Highness, a person went to General Ma Chao's residence just now, and the soldiers guarding the gate let him in after notifying him!"

"No, it must be a spy sent by Cao Jun. Could it be that Ma Chao and Cao Cao are in collusion!"

Liu An, who had just fallen asleep, stood up in a jerk, took off the saber on the wall, and quickly walked out of the camp to Ma Chao's camp.

... "General Ma, spare your life, spare your life... ah...!"

Just when Liu An and a group of tiger guards were more than ten meters away from Ma Chao's tent, they heard a scream from inside Ma Chao's tent.

"not good!"

Liu An hurriedly ran into Ma Chao's tent. As soon as he entered the door, Liu An saw Ma Chao's face covered in blood, and a headless corpse lying on the ground. The head was being held by Ma Chao by the hair. inside.Liu An just looked at Ma Chao so directly, and there was still a little drowsiness at first, but at this time there was no sleepiness at all.

Seeing Liu An's sudden arrival, Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "The last general will see His Royal Highness!"

Only then did Liu An come to his senses: "General Ma, you don't need to be polite, this is...?"

"Oh! This is Cao Jun's general Man Chong, who is trying to lure me into rebellion with clever words here, but I have already killed him with a sword."

Ma Chao told Liu An the whole story from beginning to end.

It turned out that after Man Chong came to Ma Chao, Ma Chao also knew his purpose, so he kept silent, thinking about the pros and cons in his heart, until Man Chong said that he wanted Ma Chao to surrender, and promised that the Ma family would be the lord of Xiliang for generations , Ma Chao’s anger burst out all of a sudden, and he said in his heart that if you hadn’t colluded with Han Sui, my father and I would not have been killed by Han Sui, and you also have an inescapable responsibility for my father’s death. There are still no bones left, and his two younger brothers also died in the battle. The fire in Ma Chao's heart is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting hotter and hotter. He still has the heart to listen to what he has to say, and pull out the sword in a jiffy. When he came out, he was about to kill Man Chong, and this was the sound that Liu An heard just now, that is, Man Chong begging for mercy, but Ma Chao didn't care about that, and cut off Man Chong's head with a puff of his sword.

"I see!"

Liu An nodded, then frowned and said, "General Ma, can you put away the sword!"

The two of them didn't pay attention to the blood-dripping sword in Ma Chao's hand when they were talking, but now that they finished talking, they naturally noticed it.

"Ah, the last general is abrupt, I hope His Royal Highness don't take offense!"

Only then did Ma Chao realize that the sword in his hand hadn't been put away. He had been dazzled by anger just now, so he didn't pay attention.

"Since General Ma is fine, I'll go first! General Ma should also rest earlier, hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest depending on the weather!"

Seeing that Man Chong had been killed, and the sun would come out in half an hour at most, Liu An didn't stay long, returned to his handsome tent, washed his face, and hurried to find Guo Jia .

"Master Guo! Are you up?"

At the gate of Guo Jia's camp, Liu An asked the soldiers guarding the gate.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Guo has woken up and is drinking morning tea inside!"

"Ok!"

Seeing Guo Jia get up, Liu An stepped into Guo Jia's tent and told Guo Jia what happened just now.

"Master Guo, do you think this Ma Chao has colluded with Cao Cao?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Even if Ma Chao is unwilling to stay under others for a long time, it is impossible for him to go to Cao Cao. Speaking of which, the reason why Ma Teng would be killed by Han Sui is that without Cao Cao, Han Sui would have killed him so easily. Ma Teng? Ma Chao is not stupid enough to join Cao Cao!"

After hearing what Guo Jia said, Liu An took a long breath: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured, otherwise Ma Chao still has [-] dragoons under his command. God is exhausted!"

"Hmm! His Royal Highness is still worried about how to deal with Cao Jun today!"
