Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer, you dare to steal my horse!

Chapter 170 Liu Bei, Bai Chuan, who should I trust?
A moment later, Cao Jun was in command of the camp.

Ma Chao never dreamed that Bai Chuan not only released himself, but also brought him to drink in his tent!

Looking at the food and wine in front of him, Ma Chao could hardly believe it was real.

"General Ma, why don't you eat?"

"I fought all night last night, so I must be starving now, right?"

But Bai Chuan didn't take it seriously, he waved his hand and said.

While talking, Bai Chuan lifted a plump chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

The aroma of the food immediately wafted into Ma Chao's nostrils.

"Cuckoo..."

Although Ma Chao didn't intend to eat, his stomach had already betrayed him.

Since he was arrested last night, a whole day has passed, and with the night of fighting, Ma Chao is really hungry now.

"Why should General Ma be polite? There is no poison in this meal."

"Even if you are wary of me, why bother with yourself?"

Bai Chuan waved his hands casually, and then continued to eat.

Ma Chao was unmoved, squinting his eyes and looking at Bai Chuan, saying:
"Just say anything."

"Don't beat around the bush here."

Ma Chao knew that the food Bai Chuan gave him was definitely not poisoned.

He was still a prisoner, if Bai Chuan wanted to kill him, he could just tell the soldiers of Cao Jun, why bother now?

What makes Ma Chao puzzled now is what exactly Bai Chuan is going to do.

"With all due respect, General Ma."

"There is no right or wrong between you and me, it's just that we have different positions."

"I lead the salary of the Duke of Wei today, so naturally I have to do the work of a courtier."

"And you are for Xiliang, the two of us will definitely have this battle."

"But to be honest, I really don't want to come to Xiliang to fight."

Bai Chuan swallowed the food in his mouth, and let out a faint breath, with resentment on his face.

"Why did you ask me to come here?"

"Today, I capsized in the gutter. If you want to kill or cut me up, it's up to you. Don't talk about these things here."

But Ma Chao didn't give Bai Chuan any good looks, and said in a deep voice.

Bai Chuan put down the food in his hands, and said solemnly:
"To tell you the truth, General Ma, after the battle with the Huns, I have a lot of respect for you."

"I respect you for being a man!"

"When I learned that you came to assist in the attack on Xiliang, I thought you were just going through the motions, General Ma."

"But I didn't expect that the general would dare to go deep alone, even disregarding his own safety in order to destroy the Xiongnu."

"For this reason, I sent troops to help the general."

"It is my personal wish to invite the general here today."

Looking at Bai Chuan's sincere face, Ma Chao was still a little dubious.

Bai Chuan continued to speak:

"General, do you know why Duke Wei sent troops to attack Xiliang first?"

Ma Chao sneered:
"Isn't it because of Xudu?"

"Cao Bandit is a man who will take revenge on every grievance. What's the fuss about this kind of thing?"

Bai Chuan shook his head and said:
"General Ma, do you know that before the incident in Xudu, Duke Wei had presented to the emperor and prepared to issue an imperial edict to add soldiers, horses, food and grass to Xiliang?"

Ma Chao's face was startled when he heard this, and then he frowned and said:

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, would you believe your nonsense?"

Bai Chuan shook his head, and said seriously:
"I'm not talking nonsense. Duke Wei focused on attacking Jingzhou earlier, so the north's troops against foreign races will be reduced."

"Therefore, the Huns in the north are a big hidden danger, and that's why I was transferred to Xudu."

"Wei Gong wants to use this method to mobilize the enthusiasm of Xiliang to resist the Xiongnu."

"To be honest, no matter how many princes in this world fight, they are all from the Central Plains."

"If the foreign race took advantage of the situation at this time, what would happen, is it self-evident?"

Hearing what Bai Chuan said, Ma Chao's expression changed slightly.

Alien invasion...

It is true to say that since Cao Cao led his army to the south, the Huns have been eager to move.

So much so that the northern and southern Xiongnu, which had been divided before, united at this time, and tried various temptations in an attempt to gain control of the Central Plains.

Could it be that what Bai Chuan said is true?

Think about it carefully, it is really reasonable.

Seeing that Ma Chao was silent, Bai Chuan continued:
"Unfortunately, no one thought that General Ma Teng would listen to Liu Bei's words and come to attack Xudu."

Ma Chao sneered and said:

"Didn't you say earlier that Liu Bei cooperated with Cao Cao to harm me in Xiliang?"

Bai Chuan gave a wry smile, and said:
"General Ma, don't you see it? This is just a plan I thought of at the time to delay the attack."

"If you don't say that, if Xiliang doesn't retreat, how can we defend Xudu?"

"Do you really think that if you garrison Xudu, you will be able to take down the surrounding cities and defend the siege of Duke Wei's 80 troops?"

"You guys, can it be that you trust Liu Bei so much?"

Hearing this, Ma Chao's eyes widened.

Bai Chuan actually admitted just now that he said Liu Bei had a connection with Cao Cao was a lie!

Bai Chuan continued:
"Liu Bei's move is just a tactic to delay the attack. The reason is that he just wants to transfer his anger to Xiliang."

"Xiliang is located in the north. If there is any action, Duke Wei will definitely withdraw his army and return to defense."

"For Liu Bei, isn't it just guarding his one-acre three-point land?"

"This plan, for Jiang Dong and Liu Bei, is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao."

"But what about Xiliang? It's just a misfortune!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Chuan took a sip of his wine, sighed and said:

"So, I really can't figure it out. Why can't you Xiliang see this?"

"General Ma, think about it, how could Liu Bei be so kind, and come all the way from the south, saying that he wants to help Xiliang conquer Xudu?"

At first, Ma Chao thought it through, no matter what Bai Chuan said, he would ignore it.

What Quan Dang Bai Chuan said was all nonsense.

But I didn't expect that Bai Chuan's analysis was extremely frightening after thinking carefully!
Most Xiliang people are straightforward, and few dig deep like Bai Chuan.

Thinking about it this way now, Liu Bei's heart can be punished!
"Forget it, General Ma, I'm just giving you some advice because of the two of us fighting against the Huns together."

"General, please think about it more, whether Liu Daer is trustworthy or not."

After Bai Chuan finished speaking, he slowly stood up and said:
"I can assure the general that I will not take the initiative to attack Xiliang before Wei Gong gives the order."

"As for the captured Xiliang soldiers, I will also treat them kindly."

"But if General Ma Teng still decides to fight Wei Gong, I won't be able to help Xiliang."

After finishing speaking, Bai Chuan walked towards the outside of the tent, and then left a sentence:

"Please use it slowly, the general. A soldier will take the general to your camp later."

After finishing speaking, Bai Chuan opened the curtain and left.

Only Ma Chao was left staring at Chi Shi in front of him, stunned in place.

Liu Bei, Bai Chuan, who should I trust? !
