Chapter 160: Ma Chao gathers a letter from the crowd
Just after noon, Ma Chao was inspecting the camp today.
To say that Ma Chao does not often do this, but occasionally he does do it himself, in the camp tents, take a walk. The main thing is to look at what your own soldiers are saying behind their backs. Whether he is tired of the war, or whether the morale is still high and he can continue to fight, etc., he thinks that only when he hears it behind his back can he hear the most real thing.
But Ma Chao can do this at most, you let him eat with the soldiers or something, it's really, almost nothing. He didn't think it was useful at all. It's just that he also knows that even if he wants to do this now, his subordinates can't agree to it, so in the end, it still can't.
When I didn't have this power, I didn't have this strength, but I did it, but not much, to tell you the truth, but now, it's really gone-
Just when Ma Chao and Cui An walked to the edge of a large camp, a soldier came to report: "Report to the lord, there is a messenger from the Southern Barbarian Army outside the camp asking to see!" ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he smiled, and said in his heart What is this envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army doing here, is it asking for peace? It's impossible, that's definitely not in line with Meng Shuqi's character. If that's the case, it's not him. Of course, if you want to joke, Meng Shu must come up with a lot of things, and then let you agree, and he will withdraw from the army. But didn't he say it all before? And he won't say yes at all. Could it be that Meng Huo has "reduced the price", this is almost impossible.
After all, his people are now in Yutong Mountain, and there are more than 70,000 horses. That's more than 70,000 people, but it's not an ornament.
Ma Chao smiled: "Okay, I know, you can step down!" ”
"No!"
After the soldiers left, Ma Chao said to Cui An: "Fuda, let's go back and see what Meng Shu is going to do!" ”
"Okay. Lord, I want to go back! ”――
And Ma Chao's words to Cui An, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly. The heart said that you wanted to go back a long time ago, so what are you doing with me? If only I knew that, I wouldn't have brought you with me, if only I hadn't brought you. It seems that I really can't take you with me in the future.
The two returned to Ma Chao's Chinese army tent. And in a short time, the messenger of the Southern Barbarian Army arrived.
gave Ma Chao a salute first, and said a barbaric word, but Ma Chao didn't understand a word. However, I have an interpreter, so I listened to my own soldier's translation: "He gave the lord a salute and said that the lord is good!" ”
Ma Chao smiled, "Okay, you let him say." What are you doing? ”
"No!"
As soon as the Liangzhou sergeant said what Ma Chao meant, the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army hurriedly took out the letter in his arms. Then a few words were spoken.
"Lord, he said that this letter was specially sent to the lord by the cave master of Dong Di!"
When Ma Chao heard this, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said in his heart that it was Dong Dana? Not Meng Huo? ――
"Bring it on!"
"No!"
The soldier gave the letter to Ma Chao and took it, and at this time, the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army wanted to go back, "My lord, he said that the letter has been delivered, and he has left!" ”
Ma Chao waved his hand, and before he could read the letter, he said: "I asked him a few words, and you said to him, what does General Dong Dana mean by sending a letter to me?" ”
The soldier hurriedly translated to the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army, but the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army said, "#@%&*......"
"Lord, he said that he didn't know, but the cave master asked me to hand it over to you personally, saying that after you read the letter, you will understand!"
Ma Chao nodded, and then sent the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army away.
When he opened the letter, he didn't understand a single word, because it was barbaric. So I can only ask the soldier of the Liangzhou Army to translate for him.
"Come and see, translate it for me, and see what Dong Di has said!"
"No!"
After the soldier received the letter, he translated to Ma Chao, "General Ma Chao, I am Dong Dana." Today, Meng Huona said that he was a barbarian king, because I persuaded him to go back to the southern barbarians, so he asked the soldiers to drag me out of the big tent and beat me up, and now it is even more ......."
Ma Chao nodded while listening, and finally finished reading, he finally understood what Dong Dana meant.
Dong Di said two things in the letter, the first is that he was beaten by Meng Shu, and the beating was quite fierce, and he couldn't get off the bed. And the second is that he wants to take refuge in himself, and he wants to act as an internal response and act conveniently. It was agreed that three days later, we would jointly break the camp of the Southern Barbarian Army.
After listening to the soldier's reading, Ma Chao couldn't help but laugh. The heart said Meng Huo, Meng Huo, your plan is really endless. It's a pity that it's useless, or rather, it's useless to me and our army.
You're really going to great lengths to win. Now even this bitter meat trick is used, but let's put it this way, you are too far behind. Don't say that you use bitter meat tricks, even your own Liangzhou military bitter meat tricks, to Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, they may not be able to succeed, just you, what is it?
It's not that I underestimate you, at your level, you can deal with barbarians like you, and you can still be useful, and you can still use it against the Han people, you are all the ancestors who play tricks, and you can't see this little bit of a bend?
However, Ma Chao also admitted that compared to other barbarians, Meng Shu must know more about it, which is recognized by everyone.
But you know a lot, but it doesn't mean that your plan is easy to use, so this ...... -
Ma Chao said to the soldier: "Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, you can step down!" ”
"No!"
"Wait!"
Ma Chao waved his hand, and the soldier stopped, "Go and invite the generals and Mr. Boyan to the big tent!" ”
"No!"
The soldier was ordered to retreat, and after he went out, Cui An blinked his eyes and asked, "Lord, what is the matter?" ”
Ma Chao smiled, "Fuda, it's a good thing!" I guess there will be war again! ”
When Cui An heard about the war, his eyes lit up, and he said yes, that's really good. Now that the Southern Barbarian Army has retreated ten miles, the lord did not say anything about catching up. I thought there would be no more war for a while, but I didn't expect it to come soon. It's a good thing, it's a good thing.
Seeing Cui An's expression, Ma Chao still didn't know what it meant, but he just smiled and didn't say anything more-
Everyone had already arrived at this time, so they heard Ma Chao say to everyone: "Everyone, the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army came to the big tent before!" ”
When everyone heard, the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army? What are you doing here, is it summing? Or is it ......
Ma Chao smiled, "You don't have to think about it, in fact, I'm here to deliver a letter!" ”
The hearts of the people said, "If this is the case, then he is a messenger, and to put it bluntly, is he an ordinary soldier?"
"But I think you're all very curious about this content. It's just that I can't show it to you, not to say anything else, it's just that you don't recognize the Nanban word! ”
When everyone heard it, didn't they, they really didn't know the words of Nanban, and they couldn't even speak, let alone say anything else.
In the end, Ma Chao told everyone what was in his heart, "...... That's pretty much it, look at this Dong Di, what are you going to do? ”――
Of course, Ma Chao asked this on purpose, but he didn't know how many people could see the strangeness. So Ma Chao is indeed the one who has the meaning of the school examination.
As a result, after listening to the words of their lord, some people were a little puzzled, some were smiling, some were contemplative, and some were simply as if they hadn't heard it.
The people who were a little confused were Lei Tong, Wang Yan and Pang Rou. And the smiling ones were Meng Da and Wu's uncle and nephew. As for those who are meditating at this time, of course, they are Lu Xun and Huang Quan. And in the end, it's the same as everyone who has nothing to do, who else can there be besides Cui An.
Ma Chao naturally knew what everyone was thinking at this time, just look at their expressions. The reason for the doubt is because I know that there is something strange about it, so the doubt shows that this matter is not enough to be believed. With a smile on his face, of course, he has already seen that the other party is scheming, so he thinks, is this little trick still going to work? As for those who are pondering, they are thinking about how they can get greater and more benefits from it.
After Ma Chao glanced at everyone a few times, he said in his heart, it's better to give them some time, I want to see what they say.
In fact, from everyone's expressions just now, I almost knew some of the thoughts of everyone and their respective personalities. But it depends on what they say in the end, so that it can be clearer what level everyone is. (To be continued......)
