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

Dawn finally broke.

The east was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

The light shone on the cliff where Ma Chao was.

The seven or eight guards behind him were so hungry they couldn't even stand up.

The one who was alive had empty eyes, staring at the large cauldron on Cao Cao's battlefield in the distance.

The soup dumplings in the pot had long since cooled down and frozen into a lump of iron.

Ma Chao did not move.

With guns stationed,

Standing on the edge of the cliff.

He's waiting for a final outcome.

far away.

Cao's army split up.

A passageway was cleared.

After Cao Cao dealt with the mess left by Han Sui (by incorporating surrendered soldiers, making an example of someone, and promising them a glimpse of the future), he was able to resolve the situation.

Han Sui had so many generals under his command, as well as other tribes; they were all manpower.

We arrived here as soon as possible.

Cao Cao stopped about thirty paces away from Ma Chao.

Zhao Yu followed beside him.

He had already thrown away the megaphone he was holding.

Thirty steps have passed, what's the point of having a loudspeaker?

But this time, he didn't shout.

This kind of high-level situation needs to be handled by the Prime Minister himself. He should use his personal charisma to bring it to a close.

Even in the most disheveled state.

Even with disheveled hair and dirty appearance.

Ma Chao is still handsome.

"Jin Ma Chao".

Well-deserved name.

Cao Cao was a man who cherished talent above all else; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to send Zhao Yun in and out of enemy lines seven times.

Looking at Ma Chao like this.

Perhaps he was thinking of Ma Teng.

He really softened.

It would be such a pity to kill such a person.

I also feel a bit sorry for Ma Teng.

Cao Cao dismounted.

I took a few steps forward.

"Meng Qi!"

A call,

Ma Chao heard a noise.

His eyelids twitched.

He glanced at Cao Cao.

"You traitor Cao, are you here to laugh at me too?"

"Let's get started."

"I am from Xiliang."

"Only a general who has lost his head."

"No generals surrendered."

"I only wish that you would bury my remains back in Xiliang."

Cao Cao shook his head.

"Meng Qi!"

"What a huge misunderstanding!"

"I never intended to kill you!"

"I never even considered killing your father!"

Ma Chao sneered.

"Didn't kill him?"

"Then what about my father's handwritten letter, and Han Sui's letter?"

Cao Cao turned to look at Zhao Yu.

(It's your turn to take the blame, hurry up and step in!)

Zhao Yu whistled and looked up at the sky.

What a joke, what are you doing?

Trying to shift the blame?

Forget it.

Cao Cao coughed tactically.

I decided to make the decision myself and win Ma Chao over with sincerity.

"Meng Qi!"

"The matter of faith is a strategy, a matter of deception in war!"

"I'll tell you the truth."

"But I'm going to tell you the truth now!"

"Your father is Ma Teng!"

"I'm doing just fine!"

"The last time I saw him, I even weighed him."

"I've gained a full ten pounds!"

"Her face has gotten rounder."

"Your complexion is rosy and you're living a much better life than I am!"

To Cao Cao, these words sounded like "Versailles."

To Ma Chao, it was a horror story.

Have you gained weight?

Ten jin?

The letter he sent me didn't lie.

The handprints above...

Gaining weight equals swelling.

Only giants! A corpse will get fat if it's soaked in water.

Or... was something forcibly injected into them? Mercury? Poison?

"I've gained weight..."

"You..."

"Did it get swollen?"

Cao Cao did not notice anything amiss in Ma Chao's tone.

He thought Ma Chao didn't believe him, so he continued to increase the stakes.

"Oh dear, it's more than just getting fat!"

"Your father is a celebrity in Xudu now."

"He's no longer a general; he's changed careers."

"I'm a cook now!"

Cao Cao even gave a thumbs up.

"Really? You don't believe me?"

"Your dad's mutton soup is amazing."

"Unparalleled in the world."

"Especially that roasted lamb."

"I make sure to go there for a free meal every three days."

"The high-ranking officials and nobles of Xudu now."

"Get in line to eat your dad's cooking."

"He's the 'God of Cookery' of Xuchang now!"

Zhao Yu stood to the side.

I felt the cooking time wasn't right.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"General Ma 1"

"Your dad has big dreams now."

"He's going to open a chain of stores!"

"I've already thought of a name!"

"If you surrender..."

"Going back means becoming the young master!"

"I counted so much money my hands cramped!"

"Isn't this better than standing here in the cold wind?"

Cao Cao nodded, his eyes full of expectation, and extended his hand:

"Meng Qi".

"Come back."

"I will take you back to Xuchang, where you and your son will be reunited, and the hearts of the people will be at peace."

"Isn't that wonderful?"

Cao Cao felt that his words were...

Deeply moving.

The scene is heartwarming.

Any normal person would be tempted.

However, he forgot that Ma Chao was now a victim.

Listening to Cao Cao and Zhao Yu's back-and-forth dialogue.

"The God of Cookery". "Cooking". "Chain Store". "Young Master".

These aren't characters at all.

This is a poison needle.

This is a perverted humiliation.

Cooking = being treated as food.

People lining up to eat = sharing a corpse.

Opening a chain store is like having one's bones disappear and being distributed to various places for public display.

"That traitor Cao!"

"That traitor Cao!"

Ma Chao was in tears.

"It's already this late."

"I've already said I'd rather die, are you still going to humiliate me?"

"I'm telling the absolute truth!"

"truth?"

Ma Chao gave a bitter laugh.

"My father is the ruler of Xiliang!"

"A descendant of General Fubo!"

"A prestigious family!"

"A hero for all time!"

"You actually dared to say he's going to become a cook?"

"You'll cook for us too?"

"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated."

"You could have just killed him."

"How dare you fabricate such a ridiculous lie to slander him!"

"If my father could know this from beyond the grave..."

"I'll be so angry I'll lift the lid of my coffin and tear your flesh apart!"

Ma Chao pointed to the frozen iron pot.

"Why don't you just cook me now!"

"Let's reunite, father and son, in your pot!"

Cao Cao was speechless.

These days, why does nobody believe you when you tell the truth?

Do I sound like I'm lying?

"I'm saying this one last time!"

"I didn't lie to you!"

"Your father is really alive!"

"I don't believe it!"

Ma Chao roared angrily.

"Unless you make him appear before me right now!"

"otherwise!"

"Every single word you said!"

"That's all bullshit!"

Ma Chao took a step back.

His heels were already dangling in the air.

"Cao Cao".

"Zhao Yu".

"Today's humiliation."

"I, Ma Chao, have remembered this."

"But I will never be manipulated by you."

"I will never become some kind of young master!"

Ma Chao raised his spear.

Swear by the heavens.

"I am Ma Chao."

"Born a man of Xiliang, will die a ghost of Xiliang!"

"Better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life!"

"Father, your son is unfilial."

"I couldn't save you!"

"They're all bullying me! I'm coming to keep you company!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Ma Chao opened his arms.

Take a leap.

Filled with regret, he jumped off the cliff.

If I can retain my broken body today,

He will surely lead a righteous and benevolent army in the future.

Flatten Xudu

Welcome back your... remains!

Bye now.

"Thump!"

A dull thud was heard.

"Meng Qi—!"

Cao Cao was terrified and rushed to the edge of the cliff.

On the cliff top.

A dead silence.

The remaining seven or eight of Ma Chao's personal guards stood dumbfounded at the edge of the cliff.

Looking at their mighty Heavenly General, the war god who always charged ahead, he simply vanished.

It's gone. The sky has fallen.

"That traitor Cao!"

One of the guards had an idea.

"You drove my young general to his death!"

"This is an irreconcilable feud!"

"Young Master, Old Master, I've arrived!"

"Don't go too far, Old Zhang is here to get your horses!"

The guard led the way.

He leaped and jumped.

"I am willing to die alongside the young general!"

"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry! They will die rather than surrender to Cao Cao!"

Then, the second one...

These men were so hungry they could barely stand.

They all went to follow their commander.

In just a few breaths.

On the cliff,

empty.

Cao Cao and Zhao Yu lay prone on the edge of the cliff.

Looking down at the glacier.

He didn't get up for a long time.

"He's gone mad..."

"They've all gone mad..."

Ma Chao's jump off the cliff just now only made Cao Cao feel regretful.

But those who followed them committed suicide.

"Are these the people of Xiliang?"

"We would rather die than surrender, we will not turn back..."

They won the war, but they also lost something.

Zhao Yu was also unable to control himself for a long time.

Regardless of their faction, Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Li Feng, and Guan Jing all had ministers who sought death when their lord was defeated.

This is the Three Kingdoms period.

"That's enough."

"Pass down the order."

"Search along the river."

"I want to see him alive or dead."

"If the body is found..."

"A lavish funeral."

"At least give Shoucheng an explanation."

Some things, even if you try hard, may not yield results, like losing weight.

The Three Kingdoms is really good.
