Jia Xu's method is also the best solution at the moment. Yang Fan is sometimes like this. If he avenges his grudges and kills Ma Chao directly, he will disappoint Jia Xu, Xun You and others. After all, the heroes often use their best to attract heroes from all over the world. During the Xuanwu Sect in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin could even take action with his brothers, let alone a woman, even a prosperous emperor, who could make such a choice. Yang Fan's current actions disappointed Jia Xu, which was why Jia Xu said just now.

However, as Jia Xu said, if Yang Fan did not kill Ma Chao, then Ma Chao's situation in the Yang family army would definitely be very embarrassing in the future. The five major battle camps would definitely not welcome him. Only another army could reflect Ma Chao's value. But the problem arises. Ma Chao first killed Zhen Jiang, and Yang Fan then killed Ma Teng. There was no room for reconciliation between the two. Even if Yang Fan put down the hatred in his heart and accepted Ma Chao, whether Ma Chao would accept Yang Fan was still between the two.

Instead of hesitating and undecided, it is better to just kill or let go. This is the multiple-choice question that Jia Xu gave to Yang Fan.

When Yang Fan was hesitating about this, Jia Xu saw through his thoughts at a glance. As a top strategist, Jia Xu would definitely not suggest that Yang Fan let Ma Chao go like this. At least, he had to squeeze out Ma Chao's surplus value. This was why Jia Xu suggested that Yang Fan let Ma Chao assassinate Cao Cao and other princes.

Xun You frowned and said, "If Ma Chao is gone forever, then wouldn't the lord regret it?"

Jia Xu shook his head and explained, "No, no, Ma Chao is a seven-foot man. From the fact that he would rather die than surrender Zilong, he can be seen that although this son does not act according to the rules, he is also a bloody man. If the lord speaks in a harp, Ma Chao will definitely keep his promise! However, this person's heart is unpredictable, and he has just inferred randomly. What should he choose should be decided by the lord!"

In history, when Ma Teng was working under Cao Cao, Ma Chao could join forces with Han Sui and storm the troops to attack Chang'an, resulting in the murder of Ma Teng, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie. This shows that Ma Chao is not a loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial person. If it is said to be for the sake of justice, then Ma Chao did this matter too much. He could have someone rescue Ma Teng and the others first before sending troops, but Ma Chao did not do so.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan's heart gradually became harder. He shook his head and smiled, "Wenhe's plan is very good! However, I am even more reluctant to neglect the hearts of all the generals! There are so many capable people in our army. Why should I let my child hate me for the sake of just Ma Chao? I have decided that Ma Chao will die, and Pang De will die. I will not take in someone who has a murderous intention to kill me."

If Zhen Jiang had not died in the assassination back then, Yang Fan would definitely find ways to win over Ma Chao. However, Yang Fan is nearly 40 years old now, and his child Yang Qi is ten years old. It was just when he was sensible. As a father, Yang Fan would definitely kill Ma Chao. As a husband, Yang Fan would also kill Ma Chao. As the master, in order to consider the mood of the generals under his command, especially Taishi Ci, Gao Shun and other old subordinates, Yang Fan had to kill Ma Chao. As an ambitious prince, Yang Fan had no reason to kill Ma Chao.

After a decision, Yang Fan decided to kill Ma Chao. After all, he was not a saint and could not resolve his past grudges against his life and death. Moreover, Ma Chao's status was only a prisoner of war.

After thinking through the matter, Yang Fan felt that he was a little naive, but he didn't care whether it was right or wrong. Since he had made up his mind, he would go all the way to the end.

Guo Jia immediately smiled and said, "The lord is so wise, Guo Jia admires you!"

Xun You and Jia Xu also showed relief. They did not care whether Yang Fan killed Ma Chao or not, but that Yang Fan would be undecided and hesitant for such a thing. This obviously did not conform to the style of a wise leader. After all, Ma Chao was a general with good martial arts. What if he killed him? What if he didn't kill him? Although there were not many generals in the Yang family army who could compete with Ma Chao, there were not none. In addition, Yang Fan had a grudge against Ma Chao for killing his father and his hatred for killing his wife. For the sake of conservatism, they all agreed that Yang Fan killed Ma Chao to eliminate future troubles.

"Everything comes, you go and execute it, Ma Chao's family, no one will be left!" After a long silence, Yang Fan finally made up his mind.

Not long after, Dian Wei walked back with an awkward expression. Yang Fan asked with a puzzled look on his face, "The evil is here? All the matter has been resolved? Where is Ma Chao's head?"

Dian Wei replied awkwardly: "Master, that...Ma Chao said he wanted to see you before he died! I saw that he was very pitiful, so I boldly ordered the execution to be suspended! Now that Ma Chao is outside the door. If you don't want to see him, I will go out and kill him!"

Yang Fan, Jia Xu and others looked at each other and asked, "It's already this time, but Ma Chao still wants to see me? Forget it, it's okay to see me!"

Ma Chao was tied up and held in the house by five flowers. He was seen as indifferent, with a cold look and a little haggard. After seeing Yang Fan, Ma Chao smiled bitterly and said, "The defeated general, Ma Chao, have seen Yang Piqi!"

Yang Fan asked with a smile: "Why, the dignified Xiliang Jin Ma Chao also wants to beg for mercy?"

Ma Chao shook his head slightly and replied: "Since he was defeated and became a prisoner of Yang Piqi, he would have no complaints about whether to kill or cut him. However, before he died, he would ask Yang Piqi to give his grace to the law and bypass the life of his younger sister Ma Yunlu, who lives in Jinyang. She has nothing to do with this matter!"

"Ma Chao, you are still a person who once dominated Liangzhou. Since you have let go of your big mistakes, you must have the courage to bear the consequences. When you went to Jinyang to assassinate this general, you have considered what the general's family would be like? You killed your beloved wife, have you considered what the general felt at that time? Some things, since you dare to do, you have to think about today's situation!" Yang Fan's mind moved, and suddenly remembered Ma Yunlu who was sent to the draft by Ma Teng at that time. However, Ma Yunlu had a special status and was placed under house arrest by Yang Fan in Jinyang. If Ma Chao had not mentioned it, he would have forgotten this poor woman.

Ma Chao said miserably: "My sister is just a weak woman. Do you have the heart to kill her?"

"Enough!" Yang Fan was afraid that he would start to soften his heart if he continued to speak, so he waved his hand and shouted at Dian Wei: "Drag Ma Chao down and kill him! No one from the Ma family will be left!"

"As for Ma Yunlu, leave it to Wenhe!" At this point, Yang Fan looked at Jia Xu and said lightly: "I want you to be unaware of it and unaware of it."

"Yang Fan, you are still a virtuous person, but you don't even let go of a weak woman. Even if I, Ma Chao, will not let you go even if I, is a ghost!" Ma Chao looked crazy and was about to get up to hit Yang Fan. Fortunately, Dian Wei, who was on the side, stepped forward to stop Ma Chao and dragged him out of the house.

Soon, Ma Chao and his family members were asked to behead him, and even Ma Dai and Pang De could not escape the misfortune.

When everyone saw Yang Fan's cruel side, no one felt that Yang Fan was ruthless and he even showed a hint of relief.

Guo Jia nodded and smiled, "The murderer was killed. I believe that the mistress's spirit in heaven can get rest!"

Jia Xu said: "Since ancient times, success and kings defeated the enemy, how can we be kind to women? If we fight on the battlefield, death and injury are inevitable. This is understandable. However, the lord did not get into evil with the Ma family at that time, but they sent people to assassinate, which led to the mistress's death on the spot. She was executed today, and she was still alive!"

Xun You changed the topic and asked: "Since you have already understood Ma Chao's affairs, the lord is not sad. Our plan to invite you to the trap requires careful planning! After all, Zhuge Liang is not a vegetarian either!"

Jia Xu smiled sinisterly and said, "If Liu Bei wants to defeat his lord, he can only use Fangling and Shangyong to attack Hanzhong. Our army can take a full-scale attack on Hanzhong. The troops will be divided into two routes, sending troops from Jinniu Road and Micang Road. When Liu Bei comes out of Hanzhong, the troops from Micang Road will be transferred back to Hanzhong to encircle Liu Bei."

Yang Fan nodded and responded: "That's what it should be! Our army will hide troops in the north of Nanzheng and station 10,000 soldiers on Ziwu Road. At that time, attack from north to south and then cut off Liu Bei's retreat. I want him to go back and forth!"
