In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

It was to save Ma Chao's life.

Ma Chao didn't think that way.

He listened to the words coming from Han Sui's mouth.

Do whatever makes you feel uncomfortable.

It felt like being pricked with needles.

"A trap?"

"ambush?"

Ma Chao turned his head away, no longer looking at him.

"uncle."

"You have a really good eye."

"You saw through the scheme at a glance?"

"Just like how you spotted Cao Cao's weakness at a glance yesterday?"

Han Sui was taken aback and looked at Pang De and Ma Dai behind Ma Chao.

It's clear.

"Meng Qi, what do you mean?"

"I'm talking to you about something important!"

"I'm also talking to you about something important!"

Ma Chao suddenly erupted.

"Han Wenyue, I only call you uncle because of my father's sake. Don't push your luck."

"Everyone knows what you did yesterday, so stop pretending to be a good person in front of me!"

"yesterday!"

"You come back and brag to me, saying you vehemently denounced the traitor Cao Cao."

"And the result?"

"My brother and Lingming (Pang De) saw everything clearly from behind. Did you curse them?"

"You didn't utter a single curse!"

"You were holding hands with Cao Cao! Head to head! Smiling like a flower!"

"Why did you bully me?!"

Han Sui's face darkened.

The lie was exposed in public, which was a bit embarrassing.

"That...that's tactical, you wouldn't understand."

"Tactics my ass!"

Do you really think Ma Chao is a three-year-old?

Can't we just fool them?

"You lied to me yesterday!"

"Today, that traitor Cao used my father's secret recipe to humiliate me. I'm going to take revenge."

"You're blocking my way again! You won't let me out!"

Ma Chao, mounted on his horse, leaned down and brought his face close to Han Sui's.

"uncle."

"Are you really afraid of an ambush?"

"Are you still afraid that I'll hurt Zhao Yu and cause your old flame heartache?"

"Isn't this to cover for that traitor Cao?"

Han Sui was so angry that his beard trembled wildly.

I never expected my nephew to say that about me.

"You...you..."

"I am your uncle!"

"How could I possibly collude with the enemy!"

Ma Chao straightened up.

"Looking at you now..."

"His body is in Xiliang, but his heart is in Cao."

Han Sui wanted to explain further.

"Get out of here!"

Ma Chao didn't want to listen anymore, so he plugged his ears.

"If you don't move aside, I'll kill you too!"

"drive!"

Ma Chao lashed the horse's rump with his whip.

He rushed straight past Han Sui.

Han Sui was left standing there, stunned.

……

Outside the camp gate,

Zhao Yu was enjoying his meal.

[System monitoring: Enemy forces will arrive on the battlefield in 30 seconds.]

Zhao Yu wiped his mouth.

"Zhongkang, retreat."

"The horses are here."

"He came with a temper."

Zhao Yu pulled up Xu Chu, who was still trying to grab a piece of meat.

He mounted his horse.

They ran away in a flash.

All that remained was a large, still-boiling black pot.

Waiting for Ma Chao to arrive.

They could only manage to catch nothing.

The person ran away.

Only one pot remained.

Ma Chao jumped off his horse.

He rushed to the pot.

Looking at the bubbling red oil.

This is a flavor that only my father would make.

"That traitor Cao..."

"Zhao Yu..."

"Han Sui..."

"You're all bullying me!"

Why?!

Ma Chao raised his foot.

He kicked the big iron pot hard.

"Bang—!"

The large iron pot was kicked away by Ma Chao in a fit of rage.

Red oil was spilled all over the ground.

"Whom are you tempting!"

"Does Xiliang lack food?"

"Are you just using this to test your cadres?"

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

Ma Chao roared at the soldiers around him who were swallowing hard.

"What are you looking at!"

"What's so interesting about a pot of gutter oil?"

"That traitor Cao Cao is trying to poison us with this stuff!"

"Who dares to take a single bite!"

"The Immediate Execution Technique!"

After yelling.

Ma Chao glanced back at the direction of the camp gate.

Han Sui was still standing there.

Looking over here from a distance.

"Where should we ambush them?"

"You still say you're not trying to cover for Cao Cao? The evidence isn't very strong right now, so let's take it slow."

……

Everyone was frightened and ran away.

Only Pound.

They didn't leave.

He looked at the red grease that was gradually congealing on the ground.

There were also wasted slices of mutton.

His eyes were complicated.

As a pragmatic veteran.

He didn't know anything about "Ma Teng's secret recipe".

All he knew was that this stuff smelled really good.

Pound crouched down.

They don't mind the dirt.

I dipped my finger in the solidified red oil.

I held it under my nose and smelled it.

And then, as if possessed, he licked it again.

Spicy. Numbing. Fragrant.

A surge of heat rushed straight to the bottom of my stomach.

"This is good stuff."

"We can't afford to lose that Xu Chu."

"I took off my clothes that day, and I didn't feel cold at all."

"So that's how you get nourishment from eating this every day."

Pound shook his head.

To be honest, I'm a little envious.

"Is this what Cao Cao's army eats?"

"We still eat dried meat soaked in water here."

Everyone else is eating mutton stewed in butter.

"This battle..."

"How do we fight?"

"We can't even beat them in terms of strength."

He glanced at Ma Chao, who was almost back at the camp.

They still see this as a humiliation.

"Harmful!"

Pity.

……

Cao Cao's main tent.

Zhao Yu and Xu Chu have returned.

Xu Chu's lips were not yet completely dry.

He looked like he wanted more.

"What a pity."

"So much of the pot bottom was kicked away by the horse."

Xu Chu was still there, feeling sorry for the pot.

Zhao Yu, however, looked relaxed.

He even started humming a little tune.

Cao Cao was waiting.

Seeing Zhao Yu's expression.

I felt much more at ease.

"how?"

"Did that pot of oil work?"

Zhao Yu nodded.

He sat down on the blanket.

"Prime Minister."

"The effect is outstanding."

"I saw it with my own eyes, right there at the gate."

"Ma Chao and Han Sui got into a fight."

"The kind where they point their finger at you and yell at you."

"I almost had to use a knife."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"Oh?"

"What did you say?"

Zhao Yu shrugged.

Prime Minister, you're really too eager to gossip.

"I can't hear that clearly."

"However, Ma Chao charged straight at him, leaving Han Sui standing there dumbfounded."

This proves...

"The chain of trust has broken."

Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed.

"good!"

"It's better to break it!"

"Once they have a gap, this 200,000-strong allied army will be a disorganized mess."

"In that case, shall we send the letter over tonight?"

Zhao Yu added a sentence.

"Prime Minister,"

"We must send it off in a grand and public manner, so that everyone knows, especially Ma Chao."

"You wrote a letter to Han Sui."

Cao Cao nodded.

That's certainly good.

"That's natural."

"No, then you're the best candidate."

"I think you should go, Zhao Yu."

[Instruction received. Send message.]

Zhao Yu: "I..."

Zhao Yu had originally planned to slack off, but he still had to work overtime that night.

Disaster comes from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth.

……

Meanwhile, they camped on the western side of Liang.

Han Sui returned with a dark expression.

I told a white lie to protect my nephew's feelings, but I never expected him to treat me like this...

Next.

Sitting there was his trusted general, who was also his son-in-law, Yan Xing.

There were also several deputy generals.

Their faces were all solemn.

"My lord."

"Ma Chao today..."

"They really made a move?"

Han Sui smashed the teacup on the ground.

"That little brat!"

"They were on horseback, pointing at my face, accusing me of treason."

"They say I'm physically in Liang's camp but my heart is with Cao!"

"They even said I stopped him to save face for Cao Cao!"

Han Sui became increasingly angry as he spoke.

"I did that to save him!"

"What if that's Cao Cao's scheme to lure the enemy?"

"He's gone. What will we do to explain this to Shoucheng then?"

"Good intentions are wasted!"

"He's completely humiliated me today!"
