Chapter 1301 Resurrection!

Ma Chao was shocked when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"

Jian Yong asked, "General, do you really think that Old General Ma was injured by Zhang Lu's spell?"

Ma Chao said: "My father was hit by an arrow when he was attacking Chang'an. Originally, with my father's physique, this small injury was not a hindrance. He fought with the wound and captured Chang'an that day. But that night my father vomited blood. , I have repeatedly seen phantoms of ghosts in front of me. This is not Zhang Lu's demon technique, who else could it be?"

Jian Yong shook his head and said, "At that time, Chang'an had already been captured by the Ma clan, and Zhang Lu was defeated and retreated to Hanzhong. Why did he cast a spell at this time and kill Old General Ma? To be disrespectful, even if Old General Ma was unlucky, he would not be able to get it. Returning to Chang'an, besides forging a deep hatred with Xiliang, is there any other meaning in doing this?"

Ma Chao said: "Maybe Zhang Lu is resentful and wants to take revenge."

Jian Yong shook his head again: "The world is in chaos. Zhang Lu has always preferred to settle down in a corner of Hanzhong to avoid the calamity of the military revolution. It can be seen that he has no ambitions in all directions and does not like war. How could he form an alliance with the powerful Xiliang army out of selfish anger? What about the vendetta?"

Ma Chao frowned and said, "In your opinion, who is it?"

Jian Yong said: "General, you only need to think about it. If old General Ma Teng has an accident, who will benefit the most will understand."

Ma Chao frowned and remained silent.

Jian Yong said:

"Nowadays there are many heroes in the world, Cao Cao has been destroyed by the Yuan family. Yuan Xi has millions of people and hundreds of thousands of armors. He will not stop. The next step is to go south to Jingzhou and seize the land of Jing and Yang. His concerns The only trouble in the Northwest is old general Ma Teng.

"Besides, the Ma family in Xiliang has newly occupied the Sanfu's land, which is almost equivalent to a sharp knife behind Yuan Xi's back! If he doesn't want to find a way to get rid of the old general, he will be restless day and night."

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is really alarmist."

Jian Yong said with a smile: "Then besides Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, is there any prince in the world who is good at Taoism?"

Ma Chao still didn't believe it.

Jian Yong sighed:

"Why is the general still obsessed with his obsession? It's not that I deliberately said ominous words, but the old general's trip to Yedu, I am afraid the best result is to be placed under house arrest by Yuan Xi, so as to threaten the Xiliang army to submit. At that time, Yuan Xi will Command, should the general obey or not? Obedience is controlled by others, and disobedience will endanger the life of the old general. And..."

At this time, Ma Chao already regretted sending his father to Yedu. Seeing Jian Yong's hesitation to speak, he opened his mouth and asked: "And what?"

Jian Yong said: "I'm afraid that Yuan Xi has a vicious mind and thinks that there are no heroes in Xiliang except Old General Ma Teng! What if he kills Old General Ma directly, what should we do?"

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "What your Excellency said is just speculation, groundless, and suspected of slandering others."

Jian Yong said: "Then wait for the reply from Yedu and see if the old general can return safely."

...

After Bai Xiaowen sent away the envoy from Xiliang, he ordered to dispatch an army of 20,000, led by Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi, to Tongguan, Sizhou, to help Cao Ren guard the pass.

Tian Feng asked: "Is it possible that my lord is worried that the Xiliang army will turn against each other?"

Bai Xiaowen nodded.

Dong Zhaoqi said: "The Xiliang army sent patients to seek medical treatment. If they are cured, they can only live in peace. Ma Teng is dead, so we can only say that his fate should be like this. What does it have to do with us? How can someone be put to death? The reason for coming to kick the gym?"

Bai Xiaowen said: "This matter is full of weirdness, so we must guard against it. This first army is just an advance army; if the Xiliang army really comes, I must personally raise the army to reject it."

Dong Zhao said: "Ma Teng is dead, and the dragons in Xiliang have no leader, so why bother the lord to go to the conquest, you just need to appoint a general to go to the conquest."

Bai Xiaowen said in his heart, you don't know how fierce Ma Chao is.

It is also because Ma Chao lives in Xiliang in a secluded place, and has not yet made a name for himself in the Central Plains.

Not only did Dong Zhao despise Ma Chao, but even Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms suffered a great loss from Ma Chao because of his contempt at the beginning. It really hangs up.

Bai Xiaowen could only say: "The lion fights the rabbit, and it does its best. Now that the world is in chaos, and the heroes are rising together, it is not the time to enjoy leisurely. As the great Sima, I must also lead the way, so that I can be invincible."

Dong Zhao was amazed.

However, Tian Feng was thoughtful, looked around to see if there was no one else, and said in a low voice:

"My lord didn't seem to be surprised by Ma Teng's death. Instead, he set up various countermeasures to deal with it. Could it be that Ma Teng's death was really caused by the lord's order to Langyazi?"

Bai Xiaowen quickly shook his head: "Why did Mr. Tian say that? Although Ma Teng's death was within my expectation, it was not ordered by me. Langyazi is a master of Taoism, and Zhang is a master of medicine and medicine; even if I want to instruct these two murderers, they And determined not to."

Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said with a smile: "It's the old man who made a slip of the tongue, please punish me, my lord."

Of course Bai Xiaowen would not blame Tian Feng. In fact, Bai Xiaowen has been very calm since he started posting, and if other people saw it, they would feel guilty in their hearts.

Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi set off immediately and led the army to Tongguan. The two also brought the Raven Messenger with them to quickly deliver information.

...

Chang'an city.

The whole city wears mourning, and the three armies mourn!

When Ma Chao saw Ma Teng's coffin, he yelled and fell backwards.

Left and right quickly helped up.

Ma Chao supported the coffin and said with a long sigh: "Today I know that Jian Yong's words are true!"

Ma Dai was taken aback for a moment, then asked about clues. Ma Chao told about the visit of Jian Yong, the envoy of Uncle Liu Huang.

Ma Dai frowned and said: "It's hard to tell whether this is true or not, and there is no evidence."

Ma Xiu, who was supporting the coffin at the side, said: "Brother! I also think Yuan Xi is suspicious. As soon as he met, he used the righteousness of the emperor to suppress others and asked us to withdraw from Chang'an. This is enough to show that he is very dissatisfied with our occupation of Chang'an. "

Ma Yunlu said: "Second brother is wrong. My little sister sees that Yuan Xi is really a righteous gentleman and a dignified husband. He doesn't seem to be someone who would use such despicable tricks."

Matthew said dissatisfiedly: "Little sister, don't be fooled by him! If this Yuan Xi is a righteous gentleman, how can he beat Cao Cao? He must be more sinister, cunning, cruel and vicious than Cao Cao!"

Ma Yunlu wanted to speak, but he heard Ma Chao sternly say: "Shut up! This matter has nothing to do with Yuan Xi. Jian Yong is right, there are people in the world who know the way of demons and have the motive to murder their father." , there is no other but him! Thinking about Zhang Lu, who is cowardly and conservative, how dare he use this kind of method?"

Suddenly someone came to report again, and a letter from Zhang Luxiu in Hanzhong was sent.

Ma Chao dismantled and read it on the spot, and then announced to everyone: "Zhang Lu is willing to restore the old relationship between the two families, and never mention the matter of the third assistant. It will be regarded as being cheated by Cao Cao of 300,000 hu of grain."

Zhang Lu took the initiative to give up the competition for Sansuke, which really cleared his suspicion.

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Wait until I raise my troops to enter Jizhou and destroy Yecheng, and then I will question Yuan Xi!"
