There is no doubt that Cao Cao is very capable. If Cao Cao had no ability, he would not have become one of the only princes in the world.

However, while Cao Cao is capable, he also has flaws. What is Cao Cao's flaw? That is suspicion.

Ma Chao wanted to cheat Cao Cao to death and directly replace the white flag and white sails in the army. Cao Cao must be suspicious. In this way, Cheng Gongying was using some means to make Cao Cao believe that Ma Chao was dead.

The next day.

Tongguan.

Xu Chu was seriously injured, and now he and Yu Jin have become friends with him. Cao Cao personally took Dian Wei to patrol the Tongguan.

At this time in the past, the Xiliang Alliance must have sent generals to yell and invite war under the city, but today the city is indeed extremely quiet.

This silence made the defenders on the city wall feel a little abnormal.

"It's evil. It seems that your halberd general Ma Chao was very injured. The Xiliang Army has now stopped fighting." Cao Cao looked at the camp of the Xiliang Army under the city and felt extremely comfortable.

"King of Wei, my little halberd is a unique skill. Even if the evil tiger in the mountains hits my halberd, it will be seriously injured even if it does not die. Ma Chao's body is not as heavy as a tiger's body!" Dian Wei said in a muffled voice.

When Cao Cao heard Dian Wei's words, he felt aroused in his heart and thought, could it be that he had stabbed Ma Chao to death with a halberd yesterday.

You know, Cao Cao saw it with his own eyes yesterday.

"Come on evil, do you think Ma Chao's injury is so good?" Cao Cao asked Dian Wei.

Dian Weisi looked at it for a moment and said in a deep voice: "King of Wei, yesterday I carried Xu Chu and didn't notice where the halberd hit Ma Chao. However, although my small halberd is only the size of a palm, it weighs more than ten pounds. Even if this halberd does not hit the vital point, it will be enough to break the bones and tendons that shake him and let him lie on for a few months."

"What if it hit the vital point?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly.

"If you hit the vital point, you will definitely be able to damage your internal organs. I'm afraid you will live for only two or three days." Dian Wei said with full information.

Dian Wei's small halberd is different from ordinary hidden weapons. This halberd is a heavy hidden weapon. If this halberd is stabbed on a person, it is like a piece of iron worth more than ten pounds, being hit on the body.

"Why!"

"It's a pity that I don't know whether Ma Mengqi is dead or alive!" Cao Cao sighed and said.

Just as Cheng Gongying expected, if they didn't move at this time, Cao Cao would wonder if Ma Chao was dead.

Cao Cao was very suspicious. In the past, the Western Liang army would come to Tongguan every day, but if they don’t come today, that would be abnormal.

There must be a demon if something goes wrong. There must be a reason for the abnormal behavior of the Xiliang Army.

Cao Cao was wondering at this time whether Ma Chao was dead or seriously injured. The Xiliang army was a coalition force. Ma Chao, the nominal leader, could not issue orders, so the Xiliang coalition force would definitely remain unmoved.

"King of Wei, yesterday I carried Xu Chu. Xu Chu's head was facing backwards. Xu Chu should see clearly where my halberd was pierced."

"Xu Chu should have seen clearly whether this halberd hit the key point." Dian Wei reminded from the side.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was immediately shocked.

"Let's go find Zhongkang!" Cao Cao said, "Dada", his two short legs were walking quickly, and he stepped down the city wall and ran into the city.

Inside Tongguan.

Government office.

Xu Chu was seriously injured last night. Although he did not hurt his internal organs, there were several fractures on his bones. He might not be able to get out of bed in a short period of time.

Of course, Yu Jin was also unable to get out of bed. Yu Jin's arrow wound was soaked in gold juice. At this time, he was inflamed and fever, awake and confused.

At this time, the two wounded men, Xu Chu and Yu Jin, became roommates instead.

"Zhongkang, where did the halberd of evil last night hit Ma Mengqi?" Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and asked with a serious expression.

Xu Chu thought for a moment, as if he was recalling what happened last night. After a long time, Xu Chu said: "It should be the position of his chest!"

When Cao Cao heard it was his chest, he suddenly lit up. His chest was so vital.

"Are you cleared?" Cao Cao confirmed here.

Xu Chu nodded and confirmed, "I can see clearly that it is exactly the position of my chest."

In fact, Dian Weizha was not Ma Chao's chest position, but the shoulder blades that were facing upwards of his chest.

However, because Ma Chao rode his horse up and down yesterday, Xu Chu was also bumpy and up and down by Dian Wei Kang on his shoulder. Therefore, the position Xu Chu saw was inevitably somewhat wrong.

After getting the answer from Xu Chu's mouth, Cao Cao asked Dian Wei: "Come on evil, can you survive by pricking your chest?"

"King of Wei, you know my strength. Not only is it a sharp weapon to dig open this small halberd, even if it is a piece of iron worth more than ten pounds, I threw it out and smashed it into my chest, and my heart would be shattered."

"If you really hit the chest, then Ma Mengqi will never have the possibility of survival. It's impossible to say that he would have died when he was dismissed." Dian Wei said with great confidence.

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought it made a lot of sense. As Dian Wei said, he knew the strength of Dian Wei, the ancient evil, and could fight against the tiger.

If you want to say, Xu Chu is really not enough to do anything. Dian Wei shot Ma Chao's shoulder blade, which he said was the chest. This made Dian Wei make a wrong judgment and even bring Cao Cao into the ditch.

"If you say this, Ma Chao is afraid he will die!" Cao Cao said seriously.

"What, the horse is dead!"

"Dian Wei, you made great contributions yesterday!" Xu Chu said in surprise.

"However, it is not safe to make such a judgment alone, so I have to send someone to test it." After saying this, Cao Cao ordered to the generals beside him: "Go, send a few small schools to the Xiliang army to quarrel and see how the Xiliang army reacted."

Cao Cao was suspicious and very cautious. Even though he thought that Ma Chao was most likely dead, he still had to test it a lot before he could make the final judgment.

The Xiliang Alliance, this is a group of people who come together for the sake of interests. If Ma Chao dies, then they will definitely be headless and at a loss now.

As the saying goes, no profit cannot get up early. Without profit, even if Cao's army is slandering and fighting outside the camp, no one will go to fight.

Cao Cao sent people to the Xiliang Alliance Camp to yell in front of the Xiliang Alliance, just to see, no one came out to fight. If no one came to fight, then Ma Chao would probably have died under Dian Wei's halberd last night.

Cao Cao didn't know that at this time he had already fallen into Cheng Gongying's plan. Although Cao Cao knew how to use military force, his human shortcomings were too obvious. Suspiciousness was Cao Cao's fatal injury.
