The battle of Xinping County is over, and its short time, small losses, and large number of captures can be called a typical case of siege in the late Han Dynasty.

But Ma Chao was not happy.

The reason for his displeasure was not because of how difficult the aftermath of Xinping County was, nor because You Chu did not fulfill his bet.

In fact, Xinping County did not have any resistance to the Xiliang Ma family, coupled with the deterrence of 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Ma Chao's timely measures to reassure the people, the mood of the people of Xinping County was quickly calmed; And You Chu is even more single, when he led 10,000 county soldiers to wait for the rout of the thief soldiers, he brought the big seal of the county guard mansion and the household registration and accounting statements over the years, saying that he was willing to gamble and lose, and he was a person with excellent gambling products.

The reason why Ma Chao was unhappy was that he suddenly reacted: it is only 190 years this year, according to Lu Bu's godfather killer to kill Dong Zhuo, there are still two years left, that is, people are still at large. And Dong Zhuo is now becoming more and more arrogant, monopolizing the government and politics, and his revolutionary cause has just started, so he can't tear his face with Dong Zhuo for the time being.

And if you don't tear your face with Dong Zhuo, then you have worked so hard - well, it's also very hard to use your brain to think of conspiracies and tricks - Xinping County, which You Chu is willing to give up, and Beidi County, which You Chu is willing to give up, will not be included in the territory of his Ma family at all.

This is also Ma Chao very distressed, he thought about it, and only the Jia Fox who was smiling and squatting on the side and not saying a word about his attack on Xinping County may have expected such a day.

So, Ma Chao rushed back to Fufeng County without stopping, to find Jia Xu's fox to find a solution.

After galloping for two days and three nights in the starry night, Ma Chao entered the gate of Fufeng County. didn't rest at the moment, and went straight to Jia Xu's room.

Jia Xu's residence is near the official residence, which was originally an abandoned private house, the house is very small, it is a traditional layout of one hall and two interiors, and the vermilion color on the doors and windows has long been peeled off and turned gray and black.

Bypassing a screen of a bamboo canopy, Ma Chao walked into the inner room and sat down in front of Jia Xu. A musty smell rose from the straw mat beneath him and burrowed into his nose. Seeing Jia Xu's calm expression, neatly dressed, and kneeling opposite in strict manners, Ma Chao couldn't believe his eyes.

On weekdays, this old fox always looks like a well-pampered bureaucrat, but he didn't expect his room to be so poorly furnished.

After getting started, Ma Chao was silent. And Jia Xu didn't speak, still closed his eyes and recuperated.

This time, Ma Chao had some meaning to be on the same page as Jia Fox, so he stared at Jia Xu with a pair of eyes to see how long this guy could endure.

"Xinping County has fallen into the hands of the Ma family again, and the prestige of the Xiliang Ma family has reached a higher level......" Seeing Ma Chao's appearance of not glaring at himself and swearing to stop, Jia Xu couldn't help it after all, and bowed down and bowed: "Congratulations to the young master." ”

"Sensei to come to this set, Jia Fox, the Ma family has not treated you badly, why do you live so shabby, what are you doing?" Ma Chao was already a little ignorant of the two counties at this time, but was a little angry about Jia Xu's life: "The Ma family is not short of money now, and the money I gave you is the highest, you are like this, you know it well, I don't know, I still think that our Ma family abuses subordinates!" ”

Hearing Ma Chao's words with a mallet in the east and a hammer in the west, Jia Xu's eyes jumped a little: "The young man is sympathetic to his subordinates, and the old man is inexplicably grateful." However, the old man has not enjoyed any blessings in his life, so it is excellent. ”

"This can't work, it seems that there is no woman in charge, what are you all like?" Ma Chao shouted angrily, but his face was righteous and awe-inspiring.

Who is Jia Xu, how can he not know Ma Chao's careful thoughts? It's just trying to find a woman to tie himself up. However, these are really a bit too much for Jia Xu. I have long been determined to serve in the Ma family, how can I defect because of trivial things at home?

However, for Ma Chao to entrap himself so much, Jia Fox was still quite happy in his heart. Seeing that Ma Chao was still playing clever in front of him, he couldn't help but say: "Young master, a certain family is not tight, but the young master is fifteen this year, but this marriage matter should be put on the agenda." ”

"What? Marrying at the age of fifteen? Is there any mistake? Ma Chao refused, but after thinking about it, no, in ancient times, getting married at the age of fifteen was really not a big deal.

Sure enough, when Jia Xu heard Ma Chao say this, he smiled slightly: "Young master, forgive the old man for being blunt, young master, you are wise and martial, wise and brave." Conquering the Qiang tribe, taking Fufeng, and leveling Xinping, what can a fifteen-year-old boy do? Now don't talk about Xiliang, let's just say that above the Chang'an court, how many people dare to compare the young master with ordinary teenagers? ”

Ma Chao listened reasonably, but after all, he was a time-traveling person from the 21st century, and it was still a little difficult to accept Jia Xu's words.

Seeing that Ma Chao still had a trace of concern, Jia Xu added another fire: "Xiliang Ma's family is a famous family, after the famous general." And the young master also laid a foundation at this time, and this marriage event naturally had to be put on the agenda. If it is a harmonious marriage, it can even help the Ma family go to the next level! ”

"Then, as you say, whose woman should you marry?" Ma Chao didn't dare to be frivolous anymore, because he only discovered at this time that the marriage of the children of the princes was indeed a side of politics. And at his age, it's really time to plan for this time as soon as possible.

To tell the truth, Ma Chao already has a suitable candidate in his heart, that is, the daughter of Cai Yong, a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty who has not left in Fufeng County: Cai Yan.

Although Cai Yan is a little younger at this time, she is well-informed, has a gorgeous temperament, and her appearance is also budding. Moreover, not to mention, people are extremely talented, never forget, and they have to be so virtuous and helpful, so they naturally raise their eyebrows and love each other.

What's more, the first kiss between the two sides was handed over to each other in advance, and if God didn't take it, it would be retribution!

Thinking about this, Ma Chao's delicate appearance gradually appeared in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

And the old fox saw Ma Chao like this, and sighed helplessly: "Cai Yong's daughter is indeed a candidate for superiority, if the young master is not the male lord of the separatist side, but a member of the scholar clan, then it doesn't hurt to marry Cai Yan." Can ......"

"But what?" Ma Chao was a little flustered now, you know, he wants to marry Cai Yan, and it's not just a love affair between men and women. There is also some consideration in it.

Cai Yan is the daughter of Cai Yong, and Cai Yong can be regarded as the leader of the Dubu Shilin among the scholars. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the influence of the scholars was immeasurable. Let's not talk about the examples, let's just say that the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, if they didn't rely on their reputation as 'four worlds and five dukes', how could they divide Jizhou and Yuzhou and become the leaders of the Dong Alliance? And then Cao Cao, who himself has a scholar background, Liu Bei and the Sun family, if the two forces, if they did not step by step from martial artists to scholars, why did they cut the territory and call the king the king?

If you want to enter the vision of the late Han dynasty as soon as possible and marry Cai Yong's daughter, it is not the fastest way. Isn't it beautiful not only to get the love of my heart, but also to help the forces?

But listening to what Jia Xu, the old fox said, it doesn't seem to be that at all!

"Old fox, tell me, who do you want to marry?" Ma Chao is extremely angry, a man, no matter how calm he is, he will never be calm when it comes to the love of his heart.

But Jia Xu thought that Ma Chao was young and vigorous, and he didn't understand political games. However, he did not back down, and said quietly:

"Han Sui's daughter!"

"What? Want me to marry that airfield?! ”
