Chapter 228 Ma Chao Xingbing (8)
Huang Kui asked with surprise: "Cao Cao is the one who deceives the king and the thief. Everyone in the court knows that civil and military officials are aware of it, but they are all wise and willing to work hard to eliminate the thief, and they are afraid of causing trouble for themselves! Don't you know that Shoucheng, and you still want to ask me?"
Ma Teng was afraid that Huang Kui was sent by Cao Cao to test him, so he did not dare to agree with his words, but instead stopped him:
"There are ears in the walls, the Prime Minister works hard and makes great contributions, and Minister Huang will not talk nonsense after drinking!"
Huang Kui used the alcohol to scold Ma Teng:
"Your official is getting bigger and bigger, but your courage is getting smaller and smaller! Have you forgotten the matter of wearing a belt edict?"
It turned out that although Huang Kui was the famous minister Huang Wan, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice under Cao Cao, he was loyal to the Han Dynasty in his heart.
After a long time, Huang Kui gained the trust of Emperor Xian of Han, so he secretly told him the list of several people holding the robbery, so that he could contact them. Therefore, he knew that Ma Teng also held the robbery.
Ma Teng was shocked when he saw him telling him about his secret matter. After talking, they told each other about the truth, gained trust from each other, became best friends, and made an appointment to support the Han Dynasty together.
After Ma Chao sent someone to deliver the letter, Ma Teng decided to escape and go to Jingzhou.
Ma Teng and Liu Bei have not met for a long time. He is planning to have in-depth exchanges with Liu Bei in Jingzhou, determine the future cooperation method, and then return to Xiliang.
Because Xuchang was already under Cao Cao's strict control, Ma Teng originally wanted to escape quietly with his sons, but his soldiers and generals were not aware of it. Even if they stayed in the military camp outside Xuchang, Cao Cao would not kill innocent people.
On that day, Huang Kui came to deliver food and grass. Ma Teng couldn't bear to hide it from him, so he secretly told him the truth during the meal.
After knowing that Ma Chao and the others were on the rise in Xiliang, Huang Kui was happy, but he became cautious.
He was also afraid that after his secretly helping Emperor Xian would be exposed, Cao Cao would destroy the whole family, so he wanted his eldest son to escape with Ma Teng.
The two of them decided to discuss it. Huang Kui returned home and arranged for his eldest son to prepare for a trip. His wife repeatedly asked him, but Huang Kui refused to tell him the truth, just saying that he would let his children travel around the world.
Unexpectedly, Huang Kui's concubine Li Chunxiang had an affair with Kui's wife's brother Miao Ze. Miao Ze was in the Huang family's housekeeper and wanted to get Chunxiang, but he had no choice but to take advantage of Huang Kui's power.
When Li Chunxiang saw Huang Kui's face was happy, she said to Miao Ze during a tryst:
"Mr. Huang went home today to discuss military affairs and looked happy. I wonder what happy events are there?"
Miao Ze said to Li Chunxiang: "You can use words to pick at night: Everyone says that the uncle Liu is kind and virtuous, and Cao Cao is treacherous and heroic. Why? Look at what he says."
Huang Kui loved Li Chunxiang's beauty. It was night and he went to Chunxiang's room to rest again.
Li Chunxiang picked it with words, but Huang Kui had not drunk enough and said to Chunxiang:
"You are a woman in the deep boudoir who knows evil and good, let alone me? What I like is that I have the chance to kill Cao Cao!"
Li Chunxiang laughed and said, "As a scholar, the minister has no power to fight the chicken. How can he start?"
Huang Kui said, "I was not the one who killed Cao Cao. General Ma was about to flee back to Xiliang and raise an army to attack Cao Cao. In addition, Sun Quan from Jiangdong and Liu Huangshu of Jingzhou also sent troops to respond. Once Cao Cao could not resist, great events would be expected!"
That night, while Huang Kui was sleeping soundly, Li Chunxiang secretly stood up and reported to Miao Ze. Miao Ze leaked the night to inform Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this. He made arrangements overnight and secretly called Cao Hong and Xu Chu to pay this and this. He also called Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and others to pay this and this and this. Everyone took the order.
Cao Cao thought that he was devoted to cultivating Huang Kui, but Huang Kui was so ungrateful, and he was unhappy in his heart. He ordered his subordinates to take down Huang Kui's family in the city overnight so as not to leave Huang Kui.
The next day, Ma Teng and Huang Kui's son were gone, and a group of people came to the camp with a cluster of red flags, placing the prime minister's banner. While they were shocked, they suddenly heard a cannon sound, and the red flag was opened and the bows and crossbows were fired at the same time.
A general danced his sword and came first, and he was the general Cao Hong.
When Ma Teng rushed to greet him, he shouted again: Xu Chu on the left came, Xiahou Yuan on the right came, and Xu Huang led his troops to kill him, surrounding the Xiliang army camp.
Cao Cao's army, Ma Teng and his son trapped the three of them in Gaixin. Seeing that they were not the head, Ma Teng rushed to kill. The second son Ma Tie had been shot to death by arrows. The third son Ma Xiu followed Ma Teng and rushed left and right, and could not get it out.
The two of them rushed left and right, with serious injuries on their bodies, and were shot down by arrows while sitting down. Both father and son were arrested.
Cao Cao's sects Huang Kui and Ma Teng and his son were tied up together. Huang Kui didn't know the incident. He relied on Cao Cao's confidant and shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, I am not guilty of being a humble position!"
Cao Cao sneered and said to Huang Kui: "If you have a way in heaven, you won't go, if you don't have a way in hell, you will come naturally! You will always tell you to understand and be convinced!"
Cao Cao asked Xu Zhu to bring Miao Ze out to testify, but Huang Kui had nothing to say. Seeing this, Ma Teng knew that the matter was in Huang Kui's hands and cursed angrily: "The Confucianism is a big deal for me! I cannot kill thieves for the country, this is God's will!"
Cao Cao knew that he could not convince Ma Teng and needed to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, so he kept his subordinates' lives and led them out to behead him.
Ma Teng cursed and was killed with his sons Ma Xiu and Huang Kui. Only his nephew Ma Dai was spared because he was ordered to go to the market to buy dry food.
Cao Cao knew that the Western Liang was about to start a chaos and did not dare to send troops to the south. He taught Li Dianlejin to accept the control of Zhang Liao, and united his troops to defend Hefei together.
...
...
Ma Chao really cares about Ma Su's safety and is afraid that he does not have enough troops at hand, so he is ready to allocate him five hundred elite cavalry.
But because Ma Su wanted to join Liu Xiongming, it was inconvenient to bring too many people. He did not accept his kindness, but took the initiative to ask for more than 100 war horses.
Ma Chao took out five hundred elite cavalry to Ma Su, but it was a big deal! Although he replaced it with one hundred war horses, Ma Su was still very grateful!
Ma Chao was determined to adopt Ma Su as his confidant adviser and needed to show kindness to him. These more than a hundred war horses were selected from the army!
Although Xiliang is rich in war horses, there are still relatively few truly elite cavalry. Ma Teng has been operating in Xiliang for decades, but in fact, the elite cavalry that can be produced are only five or six thousand.
Ma Teng went to Xuchang and said that he was the elite cavalry of five thousand cavalry, but in fact he and Ma Tie. The three thousand cavalry led by Ma Xiu were elite, and the remaining two thousand were led by Ma Dai. In fact, they were baggage troops, mainly to protect and transport food and grass.
Only 3,000 elite cavalry led by Ma Chao this time were elite. He personally led 2,000, and his confidant captain Pang De led 1,000. The cavalry led by the other generals were said to be cavalry, but in fact they were infantry who could ride horses.
This is not difficult for the Xiliang people who can ride horses, but they do not have many cavalry skills. Their main tasks are to siege and defend the city.
In fact, when Ma Chao fights against the enemy, it is impossible for them to be all cavalry. Not to mention that the cost of cavalry is too high, and attacking and defending cities also requires infantry.
