Chapter 161: The Southern Barbarian Army Sends Envoys Again
But let's put it this way, at least for the time being, Ma Chao is indeed satisfied with them.
Except for Cui An, but he knows what Cui An is like, so don't really expect anything from him.
After a while, Ma Chao saw that it was almost over, so he asked, "Everyone, who will talk about it first, how about it?" ”
Many of the people glanced at each other, and finally Meng Da was the first to speak: "Lord, my subordinates think that this is the bitter ploy of the Southern Barbarian Army!" ”
Ma Chao smiled, "Zijing thinks so, how can you see it?" ”
Meng Da also smiled, and then told his opinion to his lord and everyone. In his opinion, can such a simple little bitter trick still hide from his lord. So he knew that this was his lord's test of himself, so it was just right for him to take advantage of this time to show himself that his lord could pay attention to himself.
After all, Meng Da lost to Mrs. Zhurong before, so this matter has always made him angry, and this has no chance to reverse his lord's impression of himself, of course he will not let it go-
After listening to Meng Da, Ma Chao nodded with a smile, "Okay, what Zijing said is good, I don't know what you think?" ”
When Meng Da heard this, his lord was satisfied, and in this way, he was really, just as satisfied.
In fact, Meng Da's concerns are indeed unnecessary. At least he lost to Mrs. Zhurong before, Ma Chao didn't really care much about this. Meng Da met Zhu Rong, and he was defeated. It's normal. Even Cui An, didn't he suffer the same loss in the end, so he was even more said to be Meng Da. No matter how high his martial arts are, can he be higher than Cui An?
So from Ma Chao's point of view, this is all reasonable, and if Meng Da has a big victory, he will be particularly surprised. What about the unexpected. But no, so he felt normal, and in the end he didn't punish him for anything. After all, I am responsible for this.
But Ma Chao's thoughts, Meng Da is really not so clear, so in his opinion, he has to reverse the impression that he failed in his father-in-law's heart. So this time he was the first to come out and speak. That's what it is. And now the results are coming. Seems to be pretty good.
The effect is indeed good, but Meng Da really doesn't know what his lord thinks in his heart, otherwise he would be more at ease, and he wouldn't have to do so much.
After that, Wu Yi also said a few words, everyone couldn't stop nodding, and then Wang Yan also rarely spoke, Ma Chao smiled after listening to him.
Finally, Ma Chao asked, "Bo Yan." What do you think? ”
As a result, before Lu Xun could speak, the soldier came to report: "Report to the lord." Outside the camp, there is a messenger from the Southern Barbarian Army asking to see you! ”
Ma Chao looked at everyone, and he smiled, "Everyone, there was just a messenger here before, and now there is another one, it seems that this matter will be known soon!" ”
Everyone nodded, and they all thought it was interesting. Why can't the other party send two messengers, unless......
"Let him in!"
"No!" ――
After a while, the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army arrived, and then he came in with him, as well as the interpreter of the Liangzhou Army.
There's no way, the people in the tent, who can speak Nanban, so they can only ask the soldiers to translate it.
The soldier began to translate the other party's words, "My lord, he said that he was sent by the cave master of Dong Di!" ”
Ma Chao laughed out loud, and then said to everyone, everyone knows, the previous one also said the same. ”
When everyone heard this, they all understood, someone said a lie, or both? Is it possible?
Sure enough, in order to be sure, Ma Chao asked the other party again, but the other party shook his head, and then said, Dong Di sent him alone, but everyone understood that the previous one was definitely not sent by Dong Di, it was probably Meng Shu's little trick.
After that, just like the previous person, the other party also took out a letter from his arms, saying that it was Dong Dana's handwritten letter and gave it to Ma Chao.
And Ma Chao let his soldiers think like this, it's really, it's basically the same as the previous one-
At the beginning, he said that he was beaten by Meng Shu, but this time Dong Dana said that Meng Huo beat himself, and then wanted to use bitter tricks to deceive the Liangzhou army, but he still can't stay. But Dong Dana made it clear that he was willing to be an internal response, and three days later, if Ma Chao led the Liangzhou army to attack, he would definitely let his subordinates defect and turn against Meng Shu.
After hearing this, Ma Chao nodded and sent the envoy of the Southern Barbarian Army away.
Then he said to the people, "Everyone, you understand! ”
Everyone couldn't help nodding, don't you understand, the previous one was Meng Shu's strategy, he first beat Dong Di, and then sent his soldiers to send the letter he had already written, just to earn his own lord, so that he could lead the troops to fight them, and then he would be ambushed by others.
In the end, it was really the person sent by Dong Di, which meant that he was beaten by Meng Shu for no reason, and he couldn't swallow this breath, so he was willing to be this internal response, and directly opposed Meng Huo, and when the time came, it would not be difficult to break the enemy-
Ma Chao asked at this time: "What do you think about this, just speak freely!" ”
Then everyone began to express their opinions again, and Pang Rou was the first to say: "Lord, will this still be the plan of the Southern Barbarian Army?" ”
Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "If Meng Shu had such a level." He didn't know if he was defeated again and again, what did he think? ”
Pang Rou nodded, indeed. It's not to underestimate Meng Huo. If he really had such a strategy, it would be really, definitely not like it is today. So it shouldn't be wrong, the first messenger of the Southern Barbarian Army who came before was someone sent by Meng Huo. And this time, the person who came was really Dong Di's subordinate, so ......
It's not just Pang Rou. The others also nodded their heads, and they thought the same way, indeed. Meng Huo doesn't have such a great ability, unless there are high-ranking people around him. However, there should be no such character in Nanban, but if you are Han, is this possible?
So Wu Ban said to Ma Chao: "My subordinates agree with what the lord said. This time, it was really the person sent by Dong Di. The former should be a good person sent by Meng Huo! ”――
Ma Chao asked again: "So what do you think we should do now?" ”
He still asked Lu Xun, "Bo Yan, you didn't say it before, let's make up for it this time!" ”
"No! In fact, what the subordinates think is very simple, our army ...... In a battle with the enemy, Dong Dana will definitely let his subordinates cooperate with us inside and outside, so to speak. We do more with less. As for whether it is the plan of the Southern Barbarian Army, as long as we are careful. Naturally, we will know when the time comes. However, his subordinates also thought that this was not an enemy army's plan, the first was sent by Meng Huo, and the second time was indeed sent by Dong Di! ”
In the end, Ma Chao clapped his hands and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then according to what Boyan said!" Then attack the camp of the Southern Barbarian Army! ”
"No!"
When everyone heard this, they were happy, and they were secretly holding back their strength, and they said that they were finally going to fight with the Southern Barbarian Army again. Although they fought before, and they also set fire to the other party, they obviously felt that it was not enough, so they naturally looked forward to the next big battle.
After the messenger sent by Meng Huo came back, as soon as he reported the situation, Meng Huo smiled, "Okay, good, good, go down and receive the reward!" ”
"Yes! King Xie, King Xie! ”
Meng Shu waved his hand and told him to retreat. And at this time, he said in his heart, see if you Ma Chao is in the plan? If you come in three days, then it will definitely be a plan, and your Liangzhou army will be crippled at that time! If you don't come, then you're lucky, and if you don't get the trick, I'll be doing these things for nothing.
His idea is so simple, thinking that Ma Chao is coming, that is the plan, and in the same way, if he doesn't come, of course there is no plan. But Meng Shu didn't think about it, what if this was not only discovered by others, but also made people calculate.
But obviously, Meng Shu couldn't think of this at all, and he didn't know that Dong Di was going to rebel against him. If he hadn't known, he would have given the result a long time ago.
As for Dong Di's side, the soldiers also went back to report, but they were scolded by him, "You said that you didn't even reply to Ma Chao, so you came back?" What do you eat! Yes? ”
The soldier didn't dare to refute a word, so he could only say: "Cave, cave master, look at the small one, look at that Ma Chao, it seems that it is, it agrees." ”
Dong Dana scolded: "You think there's a fart, fuck it, get out!" ”
"Yes! Roll the small ones, get out! ”
After the soldier left, Dong Dana lay on the couch, not caring about the pain in his body, still thinking about Ma Chao's attitude. Ma Chao didn't make it clear whether he would come or not, what did this mean. He really couldn't think of it, and in the end he could only say in his heart, damn it, I don't want to, anyway, when the time comes, I'll be the internal response, and if you don't come, I'll pull it!
Don't say it, when he thought about it like this, he suddenly became enlightened, and his heart said, isn't it, that's it, that's right! ――
As a result, that night, Ma Chao's Liangzhou army marched ten miles, still close to Meng Shu's Southern Barbarian Army.
As soon as Meng Shu heard the report from Tanma, he said in his heart that it was good, so didn't it mean that his people were coming. Haha, I'm waiting for you Ma Chao to come with the troops.
As for this time, he didn't dare to act rashly. You think you can attack others while they are not firmly established, that is a familiar joke. At least Meng Shu still understands this, he can't go, and he will finish if he goes. If nothing else, let's just say that Ma Chao has been fighting in the north and south of Dahan for 20 years. It can be said that no one has suffered this loss.
However, although Meng Shu had such thoughts, when he came to himself, he thought of his own bitter plan. There is no problem with eighty percent, he has deceived Ma Chao, and he is waiting for him to bring the troops. Isn't it, people have already entered the army again. It's not like you're going to attack yourself when the time comes. It's just a pity. If you come here, it's destined to be bad-
In the camp of the Southern Barbarian Army, Dong Dana was also excited.
He was not much less excited than Meng Shu, and said in his heart, Okay, Ma Chao, since you have entered ten miles, then this is not exactly what it means. Are you going to bring troops with you? Okay, as long as you come. I will cooperate with you inside and outside, and I may be able to capture Meng Shu alive at that time.
Dong Di was dreaming of a sweet dream, thinking that he could capture Meng Shu alive so as to avenge himself. But if it's really that easy, who knows.
When it came to the appointed day, Meng Shu was disappointed, this damn Ma Chao didn't attack with the Liangzhou army, could it be that if you don't come during the day, you have to wait until the evening? Yes, if that's the case, he still has to wait, but he has already arranged it, just waiting for Ma Chao to come over.
As a result, in the evening, late at night, Meng Shu was completely disappointed, because of the Liangzhou military camp, people didn't even move at all.
What does this mean, it shows that Ma Chao has no plan at all, and he has seen through his own plan! ――
When Mrs. Zhurong saw that her king was like this, of course she knew what the reason was, but it was not easy to pour cold water on him at this time, so she could only persuade him: "King, since this Ma Chao has already seen through, then even so, we have nothing to lose, so the king doesn't have to think about it anymore!" ”
It's rare that Mrs. Zhurong didn't say that Meng Huo couldn't do this or that, and she also knew that talking too much didn't make a good difference. In fact, in her thoughts, it is true that she also hopes that her side can win, but the reality is that it is almost impossible for her to be absolutely this, so she wants Meng Shu to withdraw from the army as soon as possible and return to Nanban as soon as possible.
When Meng Shu heard this, he was moved, and when he said that it was critical, his wife still knew that he felt sorry for me. Anyway, it's an old husband and wife, and after so many years, although I am afraid of this lady, I haven't said anything about the relationship between husband and wife, and the relationship between husband and wife.
It's not that I'm afraid of my wife, that's love, but others don't see it that way. At this time, he hurriedly nodded, "Madame's words are very true, very true!" ”――
Seeing that Meng Shu didn't think much about it at this time, Mrs. Zhurong was much more relieved. Although he is a king, he does have a lot of shortcomings, but in Nanban, they are indeed a character. If you can't marry someone else, so although you are a little stronger, there is no way to do it. Who doesn't want their husband to be a hero who stands up to the sky, and he is no exception.
Mrs. Zhurong didn't say more, anyway, what she should have said has already been said, and there is no need to say too much about the rest. As for the king himself, in fact, he knows a lot, and he can be regarded as stopping at the point, and it is useless to say more.
In the end, Meng Shu sighed, "Alas, madam, after all, the husband still underestimated that Ma Chao!" I want him to occupy a place among the princes of the Han Dynasty, but he is by no means an ordinary person, so Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei can send envoys to beg me to deal with him, his person is indeed extraordinary! ”
This time, he really admitted that Ma Chao was amazing, if he didn't admit it before, but in front of his wife, this time he also admitted it-
Anyway, whether you admit it or not, the facts are all in front of you, and Meng Shu has always been very clear in his heart.
I think that I have been fighting with Ma Chao Liangzhou Army for so long, but now looking back, except for the day a few days ago, because my wife injured Cui An, so my side had an advantage and then won, I didn't take advantage of it at other times. Even the previous decisive battle, there was a big defeat, these are all facts.
Meng Shu didn't want to admit it in his heart, and he didn't admit it in his mouth, but no matter what the situation was, the facts were the facts, and everyone knew it. Therefore, Meng Shu also understood that he was still deceiving himself in front of his wife.
Maybe in front of others, I won't say this, but in front of my wife, I can't say anything.
And Meng Shu also thought about it, what his wife said before was actually not unreasonable, it seems that he really didn't really face himself, and he also underestimated Ma Chao. However, although Meng Shu had a hint of such an idea, but now he still disagrees with Ma Chao, this is also certain. (To be continued......)
