Chapter 1353 Famous Scene! Confrontation

Bai Xiaowen has been letting go of Liu Beijun's generals. Apart from Yizhou's preliminary decision and busy affairs, he also has a deeper purpose, which is Ma Chao.

In the last ambush on the Lianyun plank road, Ma Chao didn't follow Bai Xiaowen's order and rashly pursued Liu Bei. As a result, he was repelled by the broken Zhao Yun, and most of the two to three thousand cavalry under his command were killed and scattered.

Ma Chao felt ashamed, so he gathered the scattered soldiers and frightened the horses. Finally, the three thousand cavalry did not suffer too much loss.

However, Ma Chao made another huge mistake, that is, he missed the battle of Jiangyang. He was lacking in resourcefulness, so he never thought that Bai Xiaowen would lead the army to intercept Liu Bei and Zhang Fei when they met.

Disobeying the military order, delaying the battle opportunity, and having two crimes deducted, Ma Chao is even more ashamed to see Bai Xiaowen.

However, when he heard that Liu Bei had been captured, Ma Chao was eager for revenge, so he took the initiative to ask Bai Xiaowen to see him. In addition to accepting his own punishment, he also hoped that Bai Xiaowen would remember his previous promise and let him confront Liu Bei to avenge the killing of his father.

Bai Xiaowen was looking forward to this famous scene.

After making sufficient preparations, Bai Xiaowen summoned the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.

"Big brother! Third brother!"

"Big Brother, Second Brother!"

"Second brother, third brother!"

These days, Liu Guanzhang was detained separately and did not meet each other.

Now that the brothers meet again, all three of them burst into tears.

It is worth mentioning that Guan Yu was not originally a prisoner, but after he came to Chengdu, he saw that his elder brother and third younger brother were in prison, so he asked to be imprisoned.

"How are the three of you doing these past few days?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "I have told the wardens to treat you well. Judging by your complexions, you are not bad."

Liu Bei looked complicated, turned to face Bai Xiaowen, bowed his hands and said: "The dying man can see his brother again. I wish enough. Lord Yan please kill Liu Bei and let my two brothers go."

Guan Yu glared and said, "Brother, what are you talking about! The three of my brothers were married in Taoyuan and vowed to live and die together. My younger brother was captured in Jiameng Pass, and he didn't die on the spot. I hope that we will meet again. Today, the brothers gather together and go to Huangquan together, and live up to the vow of sworn brotherhood, which is a great joy!"

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh: "Me too!"

Guan Yu said again: "My elder brother is going to die alone, and my third brother and I are trying to survive. How can we face the world? Don't ask for mercy!"

Zhang Fei nodded heavily: "Me too!"

Liu Bei's tears flowed down his cheeks, and he took hold of the two brothers, one in each hand, and sighed, "Okay, okay! Liu Bei didn't achieve much in his life. With two brothers, he will take care of each other with all his heart, and he will have no regrets in this life."

Zhang Fei burst into tears: "I am the same!"

Bai Xiaowen coughed: "I'm sorry to disturb the brotherhood of the three of you... However, there is one more important thing that I need to ask clearly."

The three of Liu Bei all showed doubts.

Bai Xiaowen said, "Call Ma Chao in."

The voices of the internal officials spread, and soon, Ma Chao strode up the hall.

The doubt on Zhang Fei's face became stronger, and Guan Yu was thoughtful; but Liu Bei's expression changed slightly, and he seemed a little guilty.

Ma Chao first paid a visit to Bai Xiaowen, and then glared at Liu Bei. Those eyes, like sharp swords out of their sheaths, almost pierced Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei stepped forward,

He shouted: "You are so rude!"

Ma Chao scolded: "Hei Si! Do you still have the face to say that a certain family is rude, and you are shameless?"

In fact, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei are still in a state of serious injuries, and they are definitely invincible in the face of Ma Chao, but they can't lose with a sigh of relief.

Guan Yu's injury has already healed, and he has regained his combat power. Coupled with the fact that this is the lobby hosted by Bai Xiaowen, Ma Chao did not act rashly.

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Stop arguing." He looked sideways at Ge Xuan: "Master Dao, General Ma Chao's father, and the cause of old General Ma Teng's death, you have witnessed it with your own eyes, why don't you explain it clearly."

Ge Xuanji said first: "This poor way has already been tainted with cause and effect, so naturally it will not get out of the matter; I am going to discuss this matter for the two families and distinguish right from wrong."

Ever since, Ge Xuan talked about the principles of the art of praying for relief, the method of cursing and killing, and the process of Ma Teng's treatment and death after he was sent to Yedu, all the way up to Ma Chao avenging his father's revenge and launching troops to attack Tongguan.

Zhang Fei said: "What does this matter have anything to do with my elder brother? It wasn't Yuan Xi who did it, but Zhang Lu did it. Brothers like me are not like those Xiao Xiaoxiao who dare to do it but dare not admit it."

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said: "At that time, General Ma was sent to Yedu. If I cured him, I would be able to pacify Yongliang without any effort. As for Zhang Lu, he has already lost the opportunity to compete for Guanzhong, and he has no chance to fight for Guanzhong. It is necessary to have a grudge with the Xiliang Army. It can be said that Zhang Lu and I have been overthrown for doing this. Now it seems that Liu Bei is the biggest suspect."

Bai Xiaowen ignored Zhang Fei's clamor and said calmly:

"First, under Liu Bei's command, there are talented people who can use the technique of praying for blessings to kill General Ma.

"Secondly, instigating the Xiliang army to fight with the imperial court can buy time for Liu Bei to conquer Sichuan. In this way, Liu Bei will naturally have an indelible suspicion if he has motivation and ability."

Liu Bei was silent, Guan Yu said in a deep voice, "Do you have evidence?"

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "The lobbyist who persuaded Ma Chao and pointed the finger at me was Jian Yong under Liu Bei's tent."

As soon as the words fell, Jian Yong, who was round and round, was brought to the front of the hall.

Ma Chao pointed and said, "It's this person!"

Jian Yong was a little surprised.

Bai Xiaowen added: "Besides, the lobbyist who persuaded Zhang Lu to give up Guanzhong and put aside his suspicions is also an advisor under Liu Bei's account. Please come up."

Xu Shu was brought to the hall, and his performance was much calmer than Jian Yong's. He glanced at Liu Guanzhang, Jian Yong and Ma Chao, and he knew the general idea in his heart.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Xu Shu, you turned into a list of blessings and came under Zhang Lu's command to persuade him to write to Ma Chao and give up the Guanzhong land; who ordered you?"

Xu Shu remained silent.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled, "Are you trying to deny it? It's useless. Although Zhang Lu has already gone to Yedu, most of his trusted subordinates have seen you."

Soon, several civil and military subordinates of Zhang Lu, headed by Yan Pu, were summoned. After Bai Xiaowen asked for a while, Yan Pu said: "Yan Gong is right, the one who turned the list of blessings that day is exactly this person."

Ma Chao gritted his teeth in hatred.

Xu Shu suddenly said, "That's right, Ma Teng was killed by my curse. These things were all done by me after concluding with Jian Yong without telling the truth to the lord, and have nothing to do with the lord or anyone else."

Jian Yong's small eyes stared round at first, but then he shrank his head, nodded silently, and admitted it.

Ma Chao shouted sharply: "Traitor! Give back my father's life!" Pulling out the sword at his waist, he was about to kill Xu Shu.
