Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 324 Subduing Ma Chao
"Ma Chao, you guys have really poked a hornet's nest this time. Before the general comes here, you still have a chance to surrender to me."

Zhao Yun's good intentions were heard by Ma Chao, but they didn't work at all.

He thought Zhao Yun was bragging!
"Stop bluffing people here, do you think I, Ma Chao, have been frightened too much?"

Ma Chao dismissed it, but Zhao Yun saw this look, which made Zhao Yun think he was too stupid.

"Ma Chao!"

At this moment, the familiar sound of horseshoes came from far and near.

Both Ma Chao and Zhao Yun looked up.

Cao Peng held a dragon scale halberd and rode on his horse.

Ma Chao saw him from a distance, and already felt a sense of coercion.

He wanted to say a few harsh words.

However, seeing Cao Peng's appearance, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

When the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to provoke Cao Peng.

Zhao Yun was on the side, seeing this appearance, he smiled wryly in his heart.

Cao Peng was really angry, but Ma Chao was about to die.

……

Cao Peng didn't have any extra nonsense, he gently waved the dragon scale halberd in his hand.

Chituma jumped up, shooting straight into the sky like a flame, and the weapon in his hand slashed down again.

Ma Chao only felt a powerful murderous aura coming towards him.

He waved his spear vigorously and fought with Cao Peng.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and soldiers on Ma Chao's side shouted that the enemy was coming.

After a while, the news came.

It turned out that Huang Zhong and Guan Yu arrived. They came back from Luocheng and led 1 cavalry.

Both Ma Dai and Pang De were entangled by Guan Yu and Huang Zhong.

Ma Chao is alone and helpless, facing Cao Peng alone, he just feels powerless.

The spear was constantly shaken, and it almost fell out of his hand.

It was only this time that he experienced that the furious Cao Peng was so terrifying!
Just after the two fought for dozens of rounds, the spear in Ma Chao's hand finally broke away.

Cao Peng's Dragon Scale Halberd smashed Ma Chao's hair, and the blade lowered, pointing at his neck again.

The murderous intent contained in it almost cut off his neck, but Ma Chao stopped at this critical moment.

"Why don't you kill me? Don't you think this will make me appreciate your kindness?"

Ma Chao's hair was disheveled now, he was so embarrassed by Cao Peng's beating, the arrogance in his heart had already made him angry.

If Cao Peng wanted him to surrender, he would never agree, not even to die.

"Surrender to me and take this land of Xichuan for me, and I will spare you!" Cao Peng said coldly.

Ma Chao suddenly shouted angrily: "Wishful thinking!"

Has humiliated him to such an extent, but now wants to make peace?There is no such thing in the world.

Cao Peng didn't talk to him any more, but had someone tie him up.

After Ma Chao was knocked off his horse by Cao Peng, the soldiers under his command no longer had any fighting power.

Without a title for too long, he was defeated by Cao Peng's army across the board.

After the war, Zhao Yun brought over a group of captured soldiers.

Among the captives, many were Ma Chao's cronies, including Pang De and Ma Dai.

Cao Peng said coldly: "Ma Mengqi, I will give you one last chance. If you don't surrender, they will all die!"

Ma Chao became impatient, it was obvious that he was going to threaten him with the lives of these people.

"Cao Peng, you despicable and shameless villain, I will never admit that you use this method to coerce me!"

Cao Peng smiled and said, "Hehe, is that right? Then let's try!"

With a snap of his fingers, Zhao Yun immediately implemented Cao Peng's decision.

These cronies of Ma Chao were all tied up and forced to kneel in front of Cao Peng. Behind them were executioners, each holding a shining big knife in his hand.

"kill!"

Blood splatters everywhere!

Seeing his cronies die one after another in front of him.

The executioner's butcher's knife is about to wave at Ma Dai and Pound.

At this moment, Ma Chao finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Cao Peng, why would a hero use such a despicable trick?!"

Cao Peng watched coldly, and only asked, "Are you surrendering or not?"

"If you don't surrender, not only these people in front of you, but even your wife and children in Longxi will suffer this disaster!"

Ma Chao knew that Cao Peng was definitely not joking with him, this ruthless guy would definitely do such a thing.

Not to mention these people, Cao Peng even plotted against his wife and children in Longxi.

"Okay, I surrendered!"

This sentence was almost uttered through gritted teeth.

Changing his face very quickly, Cao Peng smiled and helped him loosen the rope, and helped him up.

The other kneeling Ma Dai and Pound also received the same treatment, but Zhao Yun untied it.

……

After untying Ma Chao's rope, Cao Peng asked him to rest for two days, and he would come to him himself.

Since Ma Chao came, he felt at ease. Everyone felt that life was boring, but they had no other thoughts for a while.

Ma Chao's soldiers from Xiliang hadn't actually figured out what happened. They just thought that Ma Chao and Cao Peng had temporarily signed some kind of armistice agreement.

Until three days later, Cao Peng asked someone to take Ma Chao to his camp.

Here, Ma Chao met Zhang Lu.

Both of them were very embarrassed. They used to be together, but they broke up again, and now they are reunited because of Cao Peng.

"Okay, now everyone is on their own, and there is no need to tie up a face like this."

Cao Peng could only resolve the embarrassment. He poured two cups of tea and pushed them in front of Ma Chao and Zhang Lu.

"You two, you must listen carefully to what I say next, it is related to our next strategic deployment!"

It turned out that this was actually a military meeting.

Cao Peng kept talking, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the two of them.

The two looked at each other, admiring Cao Peng's idea very much, which can be described as whimsical.

How can ordinary people have such courage to dare to do such a thing.

Cao Peng asked Zhang Lu and Ma Chao to rebel against him in name, and gave Ma Chao and Zhang Lu absolute military autonomy.

Let Ma Chao go back to Xiliang and Longxi, and let Zhang Lu go back to Hanzhong.

"Aren't you afraid that we will never return?" Ma Chao asked.

Although Zhang Lu didn't ask, Cao Peng could tell from his expression that this person thought the same way.

"Hehe, of course I'm not afraid..."

Naturally, Cao Peng had nothing to fear. Zhang Lu's favorite only child was his wife.

As for Ma Chao, Cao Peng had a reason why he couldn't betray him.

Ma Chao united with the Qiang people from the land of Longxi to raise troops, and this kind of spearhead was directed at Cao Cao.

Cao Peng promised him a chance, as long as he has the ability to do something, the land of Xiliang can be given to him.

As long as Ma Chao is capable, he can take the head of Cao Cao himself.

Cao Peng's words were very cryptic, but Ma Chao still understood.

Such an opportunity is better than nothing, and Ma Chao is naturally willing to give it a try.
