"Sir, General Zhao Yun has arrived thirty miles outside the city and is waiting for orders!"

It was a sunny day, and the sun was not as fierce as before. A heavy rain brought endless coolness to Hehuang. Although it was still June, we could already smell the breath of autumn. The grassland of Hehuang was lush with wormwood and cattle and sheep.

Crowds of people. The Di and Qiang rebellion didn't seem to have much impact on Longqi City. Yesterday's tragic massacre did not make people feel panic, but instead gave them an inexplicable sense of tranquility.

King Cao Yan, who had conquered Liangzhou in the past, sacrificed the butcher knife in his hand.

Within ten days, Dou Mao's head was nowhere to be seen, and the blood of 200,000 Di people in Hehuang would flow into a river!

How much impact will this order have on the Di Qiang rebels? So far, it has not been seen. But for the people of Longqi City, when King Cao Yama sacrificed the butcher knife, it was Longqi who

The day when the city is out of danger. At least, they will no longer have to worry about Qiang and Di chaos.

Cao Peng sat in the hall, eyes slightly closed.

Pang Tong's report did not cause any disturbance in him, just like before, he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

In the hall, four young generals, Cai Di, Deng Ai, Du Shu and Sun Shao, lined up behind Cao Peng.

In the hall, besides Pang Tong and Jia Xing, there was also a young man standing.

To be precise, he is a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He has a slender body and a very delicate appearance.

Despite his tenderness, there is a hint of composure and competence.

He is Ma Su.

In the Battle of Xiajun, Ma Di was captured.

After being persuaded by Fazheng, Ma Su surrendered to Cao Peng.

Not to mention the Wuchang of the Ma family, the five brothers are not one. Everyone has their own ideas and thoughts. When the Wuchang of the Ma family surrendered to Liu Bei, it was because Ma Liang made the decision. Of the Wuchang of the Ma family, Baimei is the best, although Ma Liang is not

The eldest brother, however, occupies a dominant position among the five brothers.

After the five brothers of the Ma family surrendered, their fates were different.

Ma Liang was the most trusted and was able to occupy a high position. The other brothers were either counselors or were exiled. The worst offender was Ma Su, who followed Guan Yu and served as chief clerk in the army. He was young and Guan Yu was arrogant, so naturally

It must not be taken seriously. If there is no resentment, it is absolutely impossible. And with Liu Bei's defeat, Ma Su felt that his future was slim. At this time, Cao Peng was willing to accept him, which was also a choice.

Of course, it is impossible to take on the heavy responsibility initially!

Ma Su acted as a dubo in the army. In the battle the day before yesterday, he led his troops to block the retreat of Po Qiang and killed ten soldiers. Therefore, he was recorded on the roster and presented to Pang Tong. Speaking of which, Pang Tong also knew Ma Su.

Knowing that this guy was smart but lacking in experience, he took the initiative to ask Ma Di to be his assistant. Naturally, it was impossible for Cao Peng to refuse Pang Tong's suggestion. Besides, he was a historical figure after all. Even if he didn't have a good reputation, at least he would.

If you leave your name, you won't feel wronged too much.

In this way, Ma Su became Pang Tong's deputy and took up a position in the general's mansion.

But Tang Fang and other officials in Longqi City were frightened and cautious, not even daring to show off.

If there is such a big dispute, they will definitely not be able to escape their involvement.

More importantly, Cao Peng was invited to Longqi City by Tang Fang, and this happened. Although Cao Peng did not blame him later, when he saw with his own eyes yesterday outside Longqi City, by the Huangshui River,

The sight of thousands of heads falling to the ground was so frightening that I couldn't sleep all night. The Huangshui was almost dyed red. The way the human heads fell into the Huangshui one after another, and followed the ups and downs of the river, was enough to scare all the people watching the ceremony.

His heart was pounding with fear. Tang Fang didn't sleep well all night. He always dreamed that his own head was among the pile of heads, rising and falling with the river... When he came at noon, his eyes were still dark.

After a while, Cao Peng opened his eyes.

"Let him camp where he is and enter the city alone."

"Here!"

"Wait a minute..."

Cao Peng thought for a while and then said, "Youchang, go and greet him."

Ma Su was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon understood what Cao Peng was thinking.

This is because Ma Di and Zhao Yun know each other. Both of them have served under Liu Bei, which can also make Zhao Yun feel more friendly. Of course, Cao Peng asked Ma Di to welcome Zhao Yun, and I am afraid that more importantly, he asked him to reveal some information to Zhao Yun.

.This former general, Sili Xiaowei, valued Zhao Yun very much!

Ma Di immediately accepted the order and left, while Cao Peng closed his eyes again.

He believed that Zhao Yun did not betray him.

But some things, if not tested, will eventually be a thorn in the heart. He cannot be as open-minded as Liu Bei, and he does not have too much scheming. If I believe in you, I will use you, if I don't believe in you, I will not use you...

This is Cao Peng’s rule!

The problem is that Cao Peng believed in Zhao Yun in his heart.

But if such an incident happened, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel uneasy.

So after thinking about it, he decided to give it a test. If Zhao Yun dared to come alone, it meant that he had no guilt in his heart; but if he didn't dare to come... Cao Peng would not be merciful even if he liked Zhao Yun.

It just depends on what choice Zilong will make in the end.

There was absolute silence in the hall, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Time passed very slowly at this time, and there was an excruciating feeling. Not only Cao Peng, but also Tang Fang and others... They didn't know what was going on. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun's wife turned out to be...

Conspiracy to assassinate Cao Peng. This is a big deal, and it will affect everyone.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the hall.

"Zhao Yun, the guilty general, pays homage to the young master."

As a loud voice sounded, Cao Peng suddenly opened his eyes.

Zhao Yun walked into the hall tied up with ropes, and then knelt on his knees in front of Cao Peng.

Cao Peng was stunned!

"This general bound himself, it was not his fault."

Ma Su quickly explained, showing a wry smile.

When he told Zhao Yun what happened, Zhao Yun was also shocked.

He is loyal, but not a fool.

It became clear at once why this troop dispatch always felt a little strange along the way. The food and grass were not escorted all at once, but were rationed on a daily basis. If Zhao Yun made the slightest move at that time, the food and grass would be cut off immediately. And Zhao Yun had thousands of soldiers in his hands.

The horses will also be defeated immediately... As soon as he arrived at the destination, he was immediately notified to return to Longqi City. Zhao Yun was still wondering why he had to withdraw his troops when he hadn't even seen the shadow of the enemy? Moreover, why along the way?

, there are always traces of Cao Jun?

Now I understand, those are the soldiers monitoring him!

Zhao Yun was also at a loss, not knowing what to do...

His wife suddenly became an assassin, how should he choose? After he rescued Ma Yunlu, he didn't have much thought. But with subsequent contact, Zhao Yun fell in love with Ma Yunlu and got married to him.

He is a dull man!

In other words, he is a very dull person emotionally...

It is not easy to fall in love with a woman, but once you fall in love with her, it is sincere.

But now, the woman he truly loves comes with a certain purpose... Is she fake, or does she really like him? Zhao Yun doesn't know! But he knows that he really loves Ma Yunlu.

Kneeling in the hall, Zhao Yun's thoughts were still complicated.

But at this time, Cao Peng untied the knot in his heart...

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up, walked to Zhao Yun, and took Zhao Yun's Jinghong Sword from Ma Di's hand. Hearing the clang of a spring, Cao Peng pulled out the sword, and the cold light and air-conditioning were intense.

.

"Master!"

Ma Su was shocked and instinctively knelt down.

"General Zilong is by no means the kind of person with unpredictable intentions. He doesn't know anything about this matter, otherwise he would not go into the city alone. Please have mercy on me and spare General Zilong's life! I am willing to guarantee with my life that he has nothing to do with this matter.

Absolutely no connection.”

"General, think twice!"

Jia Xing also stepped forward to persuade.

Only Pang Tong stood aside and watched with cold eyes.

Cao Peng raised his sword and stabbed Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun closed his eyes and prepared to tie his hands... However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. When he opened his eyes and looked down, he saw that the rope on his body had been cut by Cao Peng.

"Zilong, come with me."

Cao Peng sheathed his sword, turned around and walked towards the back hall.

Zhao Yun was stunned for a while, then stood up and followed Cao Peng, leaving the lobby together.

Ma Su was about to follow, but was stopped by Pang Tong, "You should not worry, Young Master. I have no intention of returning General Zilong's life, but there are some things that Zilong must make a decision in the end. None of us can help with this matter."

After speaking, he sat down and looked at Tang Fang and others.

"Tang County Zun."

"The official is here!"
