Cao Pi reluctantly took over the management of Cao Zhang, for him, Cao Zhang's commission is really a hot potato.

He hoped in his heart that the potter could directly kill Cao Zhang on the battlefield just now, so that everyone would have peace of mind.

But it was clear that the potter did not do what he had thought.

Instead, he took the most extreme method, one that made Cao Pi the most difficult to accept.

Even if Cao Zhang is detained, he has to be specially handed over to his own management......

This matter is really a headache for Cao Pi, this person is in good hands, turn around and let the pottery merchant suspect his intentions, will he doubt that he is still disloyal to Cao Ying, his surname Tao?

The question is that Cao Zhang's management is not good, is it easy to make the potter feel that he is an untrustworthy person, or make the potter feel that he is a disobedient person?

This matter is really a dilemma.

Cao Pi took Cao Zhang away, Guo Jia stared at the backs of the two brothers with interest, kept staring, and stared closely for a long time.

Finally, I saw Guo Jia's handsome face, showing a meaningful smile.

He turned his head to look at the potter, and said: "The prime minister's move is really clever, putting Cao Zhang in Cao Pi's place, one can explore Cao Pi's heart, and the other is that as time goes by, it will inevitably cause some incidents, and it may have a miraculous effect for the next step to conquer the Cao army in Hanzhong...... There is really a lack of virtue to get home. ”

The potter coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Guo can say that I lack virtue in such life-threatening and solemn words in front of the army...... I really live up to the name of the ghost, I really want to know, if it weren't for Tao's good temper, with your broken mouth, how many chapters would you have survived under the command of other princes. ”

Guo Jia gently stroked his beard with one hand and said: "Chang'an has been pacified, the next step is to subdue the entire Guanzhong, with the guidance of Ma Teng and Han Sui, plus our elite soldiers, I don't think there will be any excessive obstacles." ”

The potter nodded and said, "That's what I said, but after all, I still have to pay more attention, Ma Teng and Han Sui are people who have lived in Xiliang for a long time, and they are in terms of morality and righteousness."

"The prime minister is high-minded, and he can still think of this layer, which is really admirable." Guo Jia is very timely to send a sycophant, which makes people feel very comfortable.

……

After pacifying Chang'an, the potters immediately summoned Ma Teng and Han Sui.

In the main mansion of Chang'an, the pottery merchants canonized the official positions of Ma and Han, and conferred the name of the general, as well as the position of marquis.

The two were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

The potter looked at the two of them back and forth, and suddenly said: "The current situation, although Chang'an has been obtained, but to the west, there are still many princes who have not surrendered," so I need two generals to lead the soldiers and horses under my command to surrender everywhere, if it can be surrendered, it is the best, if it is not able to surrender, then surrender by force, do you have any opinions?" ”

Han Sui hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the prime minister, we will definitely do our best to smooth the peace for the prime minister." ”

Tao Shang nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Tao Mou, this person, has always been the most important achievement, the two of them each walked two ways, respectively, the guide led Tai Shici and Zhao Yun two ways of soldiers and horses, which way got more cities, Tao Mou named him the lord of Liangzhou in the future." ”

When Han Sui heard this, he was overjoyed.

Ma Teng was also about to bow his hand and thank him, but he saw that the potter suddenly raised his hand and stopped him.

"Shou Chenggong, don't be busy thanking you first, Tao has one more thing I want to communicate with you."

"What does the Prime Minister command?"

"Tao wants to ask Shou Chenggong if he wants to serve in the army alone, I wonder if Shou Chenggong may cut his love?"

Ma Teng asked tentatively: "I don't know who the prime minister wants?" ”

The potter said word by word: "I don't know that Shou Chenggong may let Ma Chao come to our army." ”

"Him?" Ma Teng hesitated a little when he heard this: "This, Meng Qi, this kid, is hot-tempered, arrogant, and has always had no spare children, and the old man is afraid that he will get along with him, and he will make the prime minister unhappy......"

Tao Shang laughed and said: "Shou Chenggong is too modest, Ma Chaoyong champions the three armies, and the northwest has heard of it, even if he has some temper, it is normal, Tao has a big heart and doesn't care." ”

Ma Teng secretly said in his heart: You don't care, I care, you will leave my most capable son all of a sudden, the old man will have something to do in the future, but who will he rely on?

"Prime Minister, it's not that the old man deliberately derogated his son, this kid's temperament is really not good, even the old man can't control him on weekdays, and no one can stop him if he has a bullish temper! As far as his cousin Ma Dai said, he could still listen to it......"

The potter suddenly let out an 'oh' and said, "Then why don't you let his cousin come with him to assist me?" ”

"Huh?" Ma Teng was dumbfounded when he heard this.

The potter smiled and said to Ma Teng: "Let Ma Dai also come to our army with Ma Chao, in case Ma Chao gets mad with me, Ma Dai can also stop him, wouldn't it be right?" ”

Ma Teng raised his hand and scratched his head, a little incredulous.

How can this still be hitched into one?

"This, this ......" Ma Teng stammered a little.

The Tao merchant said with a smile: "General Ma doesn't have to be so nervous, it's just one more person, Tao Mou's meal...... It's really not good, find your sons, and raise them together. ”

"This! No! No! Ma Teng hurriedly refused, this can't be sent in anymore, or he has to cut off his children and grandchildren if he doesn't turn back.

The potter nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's start with Ma Chao and Ma Dai." ”

Or Ma Chao and Ma Dai first?

"If you look back and feel that Ma Dai can't persuade Ma Chao alone, then hand over your other sons."

Beads of sweat fell from Ma Teng's head.

After a while, he saw Ma Chao under the leadership of the guards and came to the front of the potter.

"The last general, Ma Chao, has seen the prime minister!"

The voice is powerful and moving.

The potter nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Ma Mengqi, I heard that you are young and brave in martial arts, and you are the first martial artist in Xiliang, from now on, you will come to the court to do things and serve the Son of Heaven, are you willing?" ”

Ma Chao turned his head to look at Ma Teng, but saw that Ma Teng's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was willing or unwilling.

Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hand to the potter, and said, "The last general is willing!" ”

Tao Shang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Tao's next step, I want to attack the land of Hanzhong, since you have just come to surrender, you can be described as a pioneer, are you willing?" ”

Ma Chao hurriedly said: "Thank you Prime Minister for giving the last general this opportunity to make contributions!" The last general must strive to be the first and live up to the will of the prime minister. ”

Seeing that Ma Chao's attitude was good, the potter was very satisfied, and he said: "But Cao Cao is in Hanzhong, his strength is not small, and he only sent you alone, I am still a little uneasy, so let's send two vanguard troops, divided into left and right, you are on the left, Xu Chu on the right, the two of you go together, and you can take care of each other." ”

Ma Chao had fought with Xu Chu at the beginning, and he knew him somewhat, and when he heard that he was going to Hanzhong with the tiger idiot, he actually had some ups and downs in his heart.
