Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

Outside the city of Xudu.

barracks.

This is the location of the 10,000-strong garrison outside Xudu City.

Considering the large number of Xiliang cavalry.

Once entering the city, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

So after they all surrendered.

Cao Zhi then gave the order.

Bring them all here and keep them under strict guard.

At this time, inside the central army tent.

Cao Zhi sat in the main seat.

At the bottom.

Standing there were Cao Zhang, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Jia Xu and others.

As for Zhao Yun.

It is to do ideological work on the prisoners.

After all, in the eyes of those Xiliang cavalry.

Zhao Yun is one of their own.

And in the middle of the big tent.

Although Ma Chao was tied up at this moment, he looked humble and did not look like a prisoner at all.

As for Cao Zhi, he always called him "adoptive father".

Cao Zhi felt embarrassed by her enthusiastic look.

Seeing Ma Chao being so flattering.

Cao Zhang and other generals frowned.

They didn't expect that Ma Chao, who was also a military general, would be so spineless.

However, when I think of Ma Chao's fighting ability.

Cao Zhang and others could not bear to kill Ma Chao.

I think of what Cao Cao once said, "In troubled times, when employing people, value talent over virtue!"

What is needed to fight on the battlefield is a brave general, not a moral gentleman.

Besides, Jia Xu is by my side.

Ma Chao's moral flaws are not a big deal at all.

Therefore, Cao Zhang and others were hesitant, hesitating whether to persuade Cao Zhi to let Ma Chao go.

As for Cao Zhi, he was also hesitating at this moment.

Although in the original history.

Ma Chao was a filial son.

For one's own selfish reasons.

Regardless of the fact that his father and relatives were all in Cao Cao's hands, he openly rebelled.

In the end, he harmed his entire family, except himself and Ma Dai.

The rest were all killed by Cao Cao.

But after Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, he always behaved himself.

Ma Chao is not Sima Yi.

Although Cao Zhi disdained it, it was not to the point of being unforgivable.

"But, can I really control a fickle villain like Ma Chao?"

Cao Zhi thought to himself.

Just then, Cao Zhi noticed Jia Xu.

Jia Xu at this time.

The eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.

He looked as if he was in a trance.

Cao Zhi knew that Jia Xu was the best at manipulating people's hearts, so Cao Zhi said with a smile:

"Wenhe, what do you think about whether Ma Chao should be killed or kept alive?"

Cao Zhi had just finished speaking.

Everyone in the tent looked at Jia Xu in unison.

Jia Xu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, saying calmly:

"Killing has its advantages; not killing has its advantages!"

Everyone: "???"

Seeing Cao Zhang about to lose his temper, Jia Xu hurriedly said:

"Just now, General Ma called the Fourth Young Master his foster father, which reminded me of an old story..."

"After Sikong captured Xiapi City, he met Lü Bu at the White Gate Tower. Lü Bu had offered to surrender at that time. Sikong was worried about his inconsistency, so he asked Liu Xuande whether to kill him or keep him. Liu Xuande said calmly, 'Have you not seen what happened to Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo?'"

Seeing Jia Xu say this.

Everyone instantly understood what Jia Xu meant.

That is, Ma Chao was capricious.

If he is not killed, he will be the next Lu Bu.

Seeing that even Jia Xu said so.

Cao Zhi suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Cao Zhang and others stopped trying to persuade him at this moment.

As for Ma Chao, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and had lost his parents.

"Jia Wenhe, when it comes to being cunning and treacherous, who in this world can compare to you?"

"You persuaded the Fourth Young Master to kill me today, and tomorrow my father will definitely kill you to avenge me!"

Ma Chao said angrily.

"slow!"

At this moment, Zhang Liao stood up.

"Fourth Young Master, his words just now reminded me that since he is Ma Teng's son, why don't we keep him and trade with Ma Teng in exchange for more benefits!"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

Zhang Liao said this.

Joy appeared on everyone's faces.

"Yeah, wouldn't it be better to keep Ma Chao and exchange him for something?"

As for Ma Chao, he was also reminded by Zhang Liao's words at this moment.

He immediately told Cao Zhi that he only wanted Cao Zhi to keep him.

Then my father will definitely pay a huge price to redeem me.

In order to survive, Ma Chao even expressed his willingness to act as an insider and help Cao Zhi deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Seeing Ma Chao once again refreshed everyone's cognition.

Even Zhang Liao shook his head helplessly at this moment.

Just at this moment.

Zhao Yun walked in from outside the tent.

See Zhao Yun arrive.

Cao Zhi knew that Zhao Yun was more familiar with Ma Chao than anyone else in the tent.

So Cao Zhi told Zhao Yun the suggestions of Jia Xu and Zhang Liao, and asked Zhao Yun to give him some advice.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhao Yun said:

"Simply speaking from a martial arts perspective, if this person continues to develop, he will definitely become another Lu Bu!"

"And from a personality perspective, if this person continues to develop, he will become another Dong Zhuo!"

As he spoke, Zhao Yun told the story of Ma Chao and his men who had traveled thousands of miles and had to eat on the way.

In Zhao Yun's mouth.

Ma Chao came to Xu Du in order to save time.

When we set out, we didn't bring any dry food with us.

In order to ensure that he and others have sufficient physical strength.

Ma Chao and his companions had to rely on local food for everything they needed along the way.

Zhao Yun has done statistics.

All the way from Hangu Pass to Xudu.

The number of civilians who died at Ma Chao's hands along the way alone was no less than 100,000.

Among these 100,000 people.

Thirty thousand civilians were killed for resisting the looting by Ma Chao and his men.

As for the remaining 70,000 people, even after offering food, gold, silver and beautiful women to Ma Chao and his men, they were still brutally killed by them.

Bullying women, killing civilians, and insulting corpses...

These crimes were very common in Ma Chao's army.

Zhao Yun looked sad as he spoke.

Obviously, Zhao Yun had been enduring this matter for a long time.

Ma Chao was stunned after hearing what Zhao Yun said.

He thought that Zhao Yun would tell him how evil he was.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Yun would say such a thing.

In Ma Chao's opinion.

This kind of thing is totally not a big deal.

Let me ask the princes of today, which one does not kill the people? Which one has not killed the people?

Even Cao Zhi's father, Cao Cao.

There were also many people killed in Xuzhou.

At this moment, after hearing Zhao Yun's words.

Ma Chao was not worried at all.

Cao Zhi would be angry with himself because of this.

In Ma Chao's opinion.

He and Cao Zhi are of the same kind.

As for Zhao Yun, he was a traitor who betrayed himself and others and chose to stand with that group of untouchables!

Even Ma Chao was secretly calculating in his mind.

After I am rescued, I will definitely settle the score with Zhao Yun.

Just when Ma Chao was feeling complacent about this.

Look up.

Shocking discovery.

Cao Zhi and others were staring at him with cold eyes at this moment.

If looks could kill.

At this moment, Ma Chao had already died countless times.

"W-What are you doing? I just killed a few lowly people, what's your attitude? I didn't touch a single noble!"

Ma Chao said stubbornly.

Seeing Ma Chao say this.

Jia Xu shook his head helplessly.

As for Cao Zhang, he had already grabbed Ma Chao's collar and lifted him up.

"Zijian?"

Cao Zhang looked at Cao Zhi and said gloomily.

"killed!"

Cao Zhi said lightly.

"okay!"

Seeing Cao Zhi nod, Cao Zhang immediately dragged Ma Chao out of the central military tent.

Then, Cao Zhang drew the sword from his waist.

With a wave of his sword, Ma Chao's body was separated from his opponent.

Ma Chao, who was known as the Heavenly General among the Qiang people, died here!
