Summary of the previous chapter: Zhang Jia, the new commander of the front line, received the letter sent by Ma Xiaoquan half a month ago. He opened it and read it, and was extremely surprised... During this period, Cao Ren suppressed Hou Yin, and Cao Cao gained great power in Hanzhong.
Fleeing in defeat...
The fleeing Cao army dispersed in all directions like a cloud of loose sand. Even Cao Cao's forcible military orders were of no avail.
In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to order the withdrawal of his troops.
Afterwards, the scouts came to report that Zhao Yun's army actually only had 2,000 men. Cao Cao sighed after hearing this, and at the same time he missed Xia Houyuan.
At night, Cao Cao was meditating alone in his tent. At this moment, he began to miss Ma Xiaoquan, the Master of Immortals.
"It would be great if...Sir Shangxian was here," Cao Cao shook his head and turned over the bamboo slips at hand with emotion.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Xiao Cao, do you think of me?"
Cao Cao was shocked and ran out of the tent barefoot to take a look. He immediately cried with joy.
"Sir...Master Shangxian...you..."
In front of Cao Cao, a man with short hair looked at him with a smile and nodded gently.
The person who came was none other than Ma Xiaoquan, the Immortal Master Cao Cao had just thought of.
Next to Ma Xiaoquan is his son Ma Zheng, but unlike his father, Ma Zheng is taller and stronger, and he is also wearing a pair of light armor.
Cao Cao wiped the tears from his eyes and said excitedly: "Master Shangxian, when did you come?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Miss me, Xiao Cao?"
Cao Cao nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder: "Hey, I didn't want to come originally, but I can't worry about my useless son. Why don't I... I'll come over and have a look..."
Cao Cao was very moved. Although Master Shangxian's reason was to see his son, everyone knew that Master Shangxian's son performed very well in the army and made no mistakes at all. Master Shangxian said this, completely for himself.
Down the stairs.
After inviting Ma Xiaoquan into the account, Cao Cao did not show off and immediately told the other party the current situation in detail.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded while listening, but he was very happy in his heart.
The process of history finally got on track with his "efforts". As a result, Cao Cao would definitely give up Hanzhong and hand it over to Liu Bei.
However... Ma Xiaoquan could tell from Cao Cao's tone that Cao Cao was not willing to give up Hanzhong just like that, he still wanted to give it a try.
Ma Xiaoquan would not give Cao Cao this opportunity. History is history. If Cao Cao only thinks about fighting, how can history continue?
After listening to Cao Cao's statement, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head and said: "Xiao Cao, can't you see the current situation of your army?"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and nodded: "You can see that I'm just not willing to do it. Master Shangxian, can you help me defeat Liu Bei?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Defeat Liu Bei? Xiao Cao, are you smart? Now that Liu Bei has controlled all the pass fortresses in Hanzhong, how do you want me to defeat him?"
Cao Cao said innocently: "Sir, can you use immortal magic?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "Immortal method? Xiao Cao, do you know that Liu Bei is the Yellow Dragon descending to earth. If I attack him privately, I may be punished by God, and this punishment will not only be me, but you will also be implicated."
Cao Cao curled his lips and thought to himself, why don't you have so many reasons?
Ma Xiaoquan saw Cao Cao's thoughts and pretended to be reluctant: "Xiao Cao, it's not impossible to use immortal magic... I recently learned a new immortal magic that can kill people from a distance, but I
There is no guarantee that it will work, but... for you, I am willing to give it a try, but... Xiao Cao, you know that if you do this, you have to find a sacrifice. To put it simply, it is me.
Kill one person first, and then let the target guy die... Well, Xiao Cao, since you want Liu Bei to die, then you have to be a sacrifice. You are old, and it doesn't matter whether you die or not. Let's do this.
Are you willing to sacrifice your lifespan?"
When Cao Cao heard that his life span had been shortened, he was shocked. He quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it, Master Shangxian, do you mean to shorten my life span? Are you surprised that you can see my longevity?"
Ma Xiaoquan glared at Cao Cao: "You really want to know?"
Cao Cao nodded.
"Hey, you really want to know, it's okay for me to tell you!" Ma Xiaoquan paused and wrote a word on the ground with his foot.
Cao Cao stepped forward to take a look and wondered: "Sun and moon? Master Shangxian, what does the sun and moon mean?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.
Cao Cao did not continue to delve deeper into the two words "sun and moon". In the final analysis, he still had doubts about Ma Xiaoquan.
...
Ma Xiaoquan stepped out of the tent, and Ma Zheng was standing outside the tent waiting for his father.
"Zheng'er!" Ma Xiaoquan shouted, and Ma Zheng walked over respectfully.
"father"
Ma Xiaoquan patted Ma Zheng on the shoulder: "You said earlier that Cao Cao conducted a thorough investigation of the soldiers in the First Army last year and cleared out some of Lu Xian's shadow guards?"
Ma Zheng nodded: "Yes, and when General Xiahou was at Yangping Pass, I heard that he also cleared out two people, killed one and escaped."
"Oh" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, "It's almost time, we should take action!"
Ma Zheng nodded: "Okay, but dad, why are you here suddenly? Didn't mom not let you come out?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said: "Zheng'er, sometimes dad envies you!"
Ma Zheng was puzzled: "Why does dad envy me?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Your mothers, at this age, demand a lot. Even if your father is a god, he can't handle it."
Ma Zheng's mouth was flat and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
"You bastard, are your father and I so ridiculous?"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't say it was okay, but when he did, Ma Zheng burst into laughter.
"Smelly boy"
Ma Zheng said hehe: "Dad, I, Ma Zheng, have only loved Miss Huang in my whole life. I am not like you, hehe..."
"Nonsense, you think your father wants me, but your mothers are willing to follow your father and me, do you think it's easy for me?"
"Dad, can you refuse?"
"You bastard, do you think your father and I didn't reject it at the beginning?"
Ma Zheng curled his lips: "Actually, dad is very perverted, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan slapped Ma Zheng on the head and cursed: "You bastard, how can your father have a brat like you if he is not a pervert?"
Ma Zheng rubbed his head and chuckled: "Dad, Miss Huang is pregnant."
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoquan heard this and said with a smile, "Your eldest brother already has a daughter, your second brother is also a daughter, and now this stinky woman like you also has a baby. It's not bad. I hope it's a boy. Give it to us."
We have added our first son to our family."
Ma Zheng nodded and suddenly became serious: "Dad, there is one more thing..."
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand and understood what his son was going to say: "Are you talking about Mao Gang?"
Ma Zhengen said: "Mao Gang's big house has been built, and he has moved in..."
After Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, he asked Ma Zheng: "Zheng'er, if dad leaves Mao Gang to you, can you do a good job?"
Ma Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why did dad say this?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "Dad...will leave next year..."
