Chapter 108: Chengdu Crisis
In the past, Ma Chao ordered Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang to do what he wanted, and he didn't do it if he didn't want to. Even if it's dry, it's a big discount. This time, Ma Chao was very active, received an order from Zhuge Liang, and immediately handed over the defense of Hanzhong to Yang Yi and others, led 10,000 cavalry, and galloped back to Chengdu.
Ma Chao has his own plans in his heart, Chengdu now has no people and no soldiers, and his 10,000 cavalry will be able to control the entire Chengdu as soon as he arrives. Looking at the situation in Jingzhou, it is by no means a simple matter for Liu Bei to come back, so Ma Chao himself has become the lord of Chengdu. With the beneficial state as the foundation, it is not impossible to revive the prestige of the Ma family in the future, and it will even be better.
Seal the four 'gates'! Suspicious people are killed! Ma Chao issued the first order.
Chengdu immediately entered the point of panic, up to the princes and nobles, down to the ordinary people, watching the cavalry galloping on the street, they all understood that something was going to happen in Chengdu.
Ma played and said to Yang Qiu: Brother, Ma Chao suddenly came to Chengdu, it seems that something is not good, we had better think of a countermeasure!
Yang Qiu nodded: Yan Xing died, Ma Chao must blame them, now Ma Chao is eyeing him, and there are few people who can't fight hard!
Yan Xing is that Ma Ming kills! What does it have to do with you? Liang Xing said loudly.
Ma played to see that there was no one around, and lowered his voice: Everyone, Sima Yi seems to be unable to do it, why don't you go to Ma Chao? In any case, everyone is an old man from Xiliang, and Ma Chao may be able to let them go in the past.
The request shook his head: Don't forget, who 'forced' Ma Chao to a dead end, but our old lord Han Sui!
What about Han Sui? Liang Xingdao: As long as we kill Ma Ming to avenge Yan Xing, such a great credit should be able to offset the crime of following Han Sui, right? Sima Yi's soldiers are outnumbered, and several brothers are all dead, so it is more difficult for them to succeed!
General Liang said yes! Ma played: Follow Sima Yi to die sooner or later without a place to be buried, they are now homeless, it is better to follow Ma Chao, if Ma Chao successfully occupies Yizhou, it is not impossible for the Japanese Marquis to pay homage!
\u201nI'm still worried that Ma Chao will bypass you! Yang Qiudao.
Liang Xingdao: Why don't you send someone to contact Ma Chao? Let's see, if it doesn't work, let's think of another way!
Ma Chao was talking to Zheng Qian. Both of them saw that the other party was not serving Liu Bei wholeheartedly. Of course, Ma Chao didn't know that Zheng Qian was Liu Bei, but Zheng Qian had already guessed Ma Chao's intentions.
The subordinates served tea, and Ma Chao smiled and said: Who does the national teacher think is the most dangerous person in this city?
Zheng Qian smiled: The general is sitting in Chengdu on the order of the prime minister, and he must maintain the stability of Chengdu, no matter who it is, if it hinders His Majesty or the prime minister's plan, he will be eliminated, and when it comes to the most dangerous person, the general should have heard of it, or the prime minister has told the general, our imperial doctor\\Oh? Hehehe\\
Hehehe\\Ma Chao also smiled:\u201n also came for a few days, and I also heard some rumors, His Majesty has a lot of trust in Liu Yushi, but it seems that Liu Yushi doesn't seem to be loyal, there are a few Xiliang traitors with him, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, what does the national teacher think to do?
Zheng Qian said: There is only His Majesty's army in Chengdu, how can it not exist in arms, the general as a general guarding Chengdu, should be clear, how to ask?
Which side is the national teacher on? The killing intent in Ma Chao's eyes immediately appeared.
Zheng Qian said: \u201n is a monk, whoever gives food will naturally stand on whose side, when General Rima is a marquis, don't forget to give a bite of food to eat!
Hahaha\\, it's easy to say! Ma Chao picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Just returned to the subordinate office, someone reported, and someone asked to see Ma Chao. Ma Chao asked who it was, and the sergeant shook his head: The man refused to say, and said that he would only say that he would see the general, and that there was a major matter to discuss with the general!
Yang Qiu saw Ma Chao coming in, and hurriedly got up to give a salute. Ma Chao recognized it at a glance and sneered: Why are you here? Is it to pay for the life of the righteous brother?
Yang Qiu immediately said: General Mingjian, it was Ma Ming who killed General Yan Xing, how can you have that ability!
Ma Ming's account, he will calculate! Say, what are you looking for? When you're done, get out! Ma Chao was not angry and sat down in his seat.
Yang Qiu looked at the sergeants around him, and stopped talking. Ma Chao waved his hand, and everyone retreated. Yang Qiu said: After the defeat of the Xiliang army, the brothers traveled all over the place, just to find the general, and today I saw him in Chengdu, and finally had a chance to be loyal, I hope that the general will lead the Xiliang soldiers to regroup regardless of their previous suspicions, and then return to Xiliang! Saying that, Yang Qiu knelt down for Ma Chao.
Ma Chao snorted coldly: Haven't you already taken refuge in Ma Ming? Why betray again?
Yang Qiu hurriedly shook his head: Can the general and tourist know that Ma Ming is just a disguise, and the person behind him is Sima Yi, Sima Yi has long had a heart of disobedience, and suffers from not having his own territory, and now Liu Bei's army is outside, they are like occupying Yizhou as a foundation and doing things like a king!
Sure enough, there is a Sima Yi! Ma Chao muttered to himself and glanced at Yang Qiu on the ground: You get up! According to what you said, this Sima Yi really wants to be self-reliant, but why should he be self-reliant?
Yang Qiu found out some news about Sima Yi during this time, and told Ma Chao exactly as it was, word for word. Among them, Ma Ming's life experience, as well as Sima Yi's pretense of the god of life, organizing disciples in Chengdu, and so on, all things were said.
Ma Chaodao: Where is Sima Yi now?
In Ma Ming's mansion, the two were discussing and preparing to start an incident! Yang Qiu didn't dare to conceal: \u201nThousands of soldiers are also on Ma Ming's Mansion, if the general wants to go to Ma Ming's Mansion, his subordinates are willing to lead the way!
Ma Chao shook his head: Not yet, you immediately go back and tell Ma Play and Liang Xing, let them get ready, listen to the order, don't 'show' your feet, and when you return to Xiliang, you will not be treated badly!
Thank you, General! Thank you, General! Yang Qiu was very happy that he had successfully completed the task and would not give Sima Yi and Ma Ming a funeral. Seeing Yang Qiu away, Ma Chao smiled slightly: Pass the order down, gather the three armies, Chengdu is in danger, let's see how Ma Chao rectifies it today!
A vigorous war began in the hinterland of Yizhou, first in Chengdu, and then burned to Mianzhu, Deyang, Wuyang, Jiangzhou and other places. This internal war burned Liu Bei's vitality to the ground, and Liu Bei, who was far away in Jingzhou, heard the news and vomited blood on the spot and almost died. The herald ordered the whole army to immediately withdraw from Jingzhou and garrison the White Emperor City, and at the same time transferred Zhuge Liang back to Hanzhong to guard against Cao Pi. The vigorous battle of Jingzhou ended hastily.
