Chapter 122 Blame me for being too involved in the drama
Nanzheng Pass is located at the southern end of Hanzhong City and is built against the mountains. There are hills to the north of Nanzheng Pass and mountains and forests to the south of Nanzheng Pass.
At present, as long as Du Huo and others can conquer Nanzheng Pass, there will no longer be an important pass in Hanzhong to prevent the army from advancing deeper.
Because this pass is extremely important, Zhang Lute hoarded heavy troops to guard it, and appointed several generals to distribute at the exits of each pass to closely observe the surrounding movements to protect the peace of Hanzhong.
According to Ma Chao, when he was stationed at Jiameng Pass, there were already three generals stationed in Nanzheng Pass.
Now, Jiameng Pass has been regained.It is estimated that Zhang Lu will definitely deploy additional manpower in Nanzheng Pass.
As for whether there are new generals in the pass at this time, it is still unknown.
To be on the safe side, Ma Chao suggested that Du Huo should go first and send agents to sneak into Nanzheng Pass to investigate the enemy's situation.Wait until the Nanzheng Pass is thoroughly investigated, and the defense strength will be discussed before discussing the next step.
For Ma Chao's suggestion, Du Huo decisively adopted the strategy of trial first and see the effect later.
Therefore, he ordered Ma Chao to select five of the [-] soldiers to sneak into Nanzheng Pass as spies, and to investigate the enemy's situation first according to Ma Chao's plan.
As a result, no news came out of the soldiers who had been sent into Nanzhong Pass three days later.
At first, Ma Chao was able to explain the matter. He believed that the Nanzhengguan border was tightly guarded and letters were not easy to flow out, so it was normal that it would take some time.
However, the news has been sealed off for three days now, no matter how tight the defense of Nanzheng Pass is, it will never be secreted and blocked for three days.
Therefore, in view of this situation, it can be basically concluded that the five secret agents sent to Nanzheng Pass should have been exposed by now.
Even though there was no such news in the city these days, the fate of those five people had already been estimated by Du Huo and others.
On the fourth day after Xizuo lost contact, before dawn, Du Huo summoned Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and others to the military tent to discuss matters.
In the military tent, Du Huo intentionally sent someone to put a roll of unwritten letterhead in front of each person's table.
And put a pen and a knife next to the letterhead.
After everyone was seated, Du Huo asked everyone: "Have you seen what I gave you?"
Everyone subconsciously picked up the letter paper and flipped through it casually. When they realized that there was no text on the letter, they gradually became a little confused.
But even so, they never touched the pen and knife next to the letter.
"There are no words, right! Do you know why I gave this to you?" Du Huo asked again.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they were exchanging opinions.
"It seems that you don't know! If that's the case, then I'll just say it straight!
Actually, I want you to take the knife on the table and cut off my head!Then dip a pen in my blood, write a letter of surrender on the letterhead, and send it to Zhang Lu! "
"My lord..."
As soon as Du Huo said this, everyone immediately left the seat and knelt down, no one dared to make any changes!
"Why, don't you dare?" Du Huo asked coldly.
"My lord, why did you say that... We don't have any rebellious intentions..."
Just when everyone was afraid to speak, Huang Zhong, the oldest man, bravely asked Du Huo cautiously.
"I know you don't have the heart to rebel, but..." At this point, Du Huo's voice stopped abruptly.
After a while, Du Huo slowly said the following sentence: "But if you don't think about making progress, it will be futile! Then for me, isn't it a kind of rebellion?
Nowadays, we have traveled thousands of miles and risked our lives to come here, but we are not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers!
If any of you have forgotten the purpose of coming here, then I can remind you, but if anyone wants to give up, then this matter will be troublesome!
Even though I was prepared to die generously before coming here, I don't want to die at the hands of my own generals!
So, if anyone of you dares to make such a move, then my sword will probably cut off his head! "
After all, Du Huo pulled out the Lightning Sword from his waist, splitting the mansion in front of him in half almost in an instant.
"My lord... I have no second thoughts, I implore my lord to trust me!"
After being surprised, Ma Chao was the first to speak and reassured.
"My lord... I will swear allegiance to my lord to the death, and I will never dare to disagree..."
After Ma Chaochao, Wei Yan, Lu Bu, and Huang Zhong also promised in unison.
"To shut up!"
"My lord..."
"The word loyalty is not just words. If you are really loyal to me, then you should capture Nanzheng Pass for me so that Zhang Lu can't defend and eventually die!"
The foreplay took too long, and Du Huo didn't express his original intention until the atmosphere reached this point.
"My lord, do you want me to wait and capture Nanzheng Pass?"
Although Ma Chao's words are a little knowing, but to Ma Chao, they are quite meaningful.
"Nonsense! If Nanzheng Pass is not broken, then how can we pacify Hanzhong!"
At this time, Du Huo still maintained the previous indifference and ruthlessness, but his face was not as gloomy as before.
At the same time, after Du Huo made this answer, Ma Chao, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up straight away.
Moreover, he did this without Du Huo's permission.
"Ma Chao, have I allowed you to stand up?"
Du Huo couldn't help being a little surprised by Ma Chao's unusual behavior.And amidst the astonishment, there was also a little bit of worry hidden.
Because he knew that in today's scene, he did use too much force!Originally, he was just planning to put on a show in front of everyone and make a game, and that would be enough.
But he had no choice but to get too deep into the play himself, and as a result, when he started to use it, he fell deeply into his own role!
So much so that in the end, there was a difficult ending.
But at this time, when Ma Chao faced Du Huo's question, he clasped his fists to Du Huo respectfully.
Immediately, he replied: "Returning to my lord, it is really inappropriate for the general to get up without the lord's permission.
But when the general thought that he had a plan to defeat the enemy, the general could no longer kneel down!
In addition, I believe that if this matter were changed to the lord, the lord would definitely do the same!
Therefore, the general made this decision without authorization and failed to wait for the lord's consent! "
Du Huo became interested when he heard Ma Chao's words. Although he did not know what Ma Chao's strategy was, Ma Chao's self-confidence alone was enough to convince Du Huo that Ma Chao's strategy of defeating the enemy should be There will be something special!
"You said you have a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Du Huo asked.
"Yes, my lord! The last general has a plan to defeat the enemy at this time!"
"Well, since you have already thought of a solution, let's talk about it!" Du Huo subconsciously leaned back, and gestured to Ma Chao with a very tricky angle.
