Chapter 21: Terrible News......
Dong Zhuo is not a fool, and Li Ru, the number one strategist under Dong Zhuo, is not a fool.
The importance of Ma Tengjun at this time, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru could both realize it, but in the end, they still sent Jia Xu to announce the edict, which is a bit intriguing.
There is no doubt that Jia Xu is not very good in Dong Zhuo's group. Otherwise, I would not have received such an errand that does not count as credit, but the punishment for failure will be very heavy. And if you think about it, you can guess that Jia Xu led this errand is very likely to be Li Ru's idea.
Jia Xuzhi's ability is better than Li Ru, and Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and the undisputed number one think tank in Dong Zhuo's group. Let Jia Xu serve as the messenger of Zhao'an, it is very likely that Li Ru realized that Jia Xu's talent was a great threat to his Li Ru's status, so he expected to use this errand to embarrass Jia Xu.
Ma Chao didn't need to know what kind of dirt happened between Jia Xu and Li Ru, he just needed to know that it was Li Ru's stinky chess that gave him the opportunity to grasp the opportunity and use a trick to deceive in front of the scheming Jia Xu.
Since he knew that Jia Xu was put on small shoes to help Fengjun, there was no doubt that he could launch it, and it was impossible for Jia Xu to have no ideas in his heart. And Ma Chao in the hall first deliberately revealed murderous intentions to Jia Xu, first so that Jia Xu could not understand his thoughts about dealing with him, and then deliberately said that Jia Xu came to surrender the Ma family as a mere 200 stone rank Zhonglang, just to make Jia Xu mess up.
Unexpectedly, all of Ma Chao's thoughts and actions have long been seen through by Jia Xu. Jia Xu directly said that he was willing to join the Ma family without warning, which made Ma Chao's subsequent series of persuasion words useless.
Therefore, in fact, Jia Xu won the battle in the court.
But did Ma Chao lose?
He has won the cooperation of an extremely intelligent old fox, and it is very likely that it will be a long-term cooperation, isn't he a winner in life?
The so-called win-win situation does not necessarily have to be clear and unambiguous, especially between two smart people.
However, Ma Chao still needs to say these twists and turns without revealing a word, because the person in front of him who suddenly realized his expression is his old man. Well, to be exact, it's Lao Tzu who is not very smart in this regard.
"I didn't expect that there were so many meanings in the conversation between my son and Mr. Najia!" Ma Teng twisted the beard under his chin, and the already big mouth was even bigger at this time, and he continued with some slurred words: "In this way, Mr. Najia really has some ability to penetrate the world. ”
"That's nature, that guy is a monkey with a tail, and he doesn't look like a human anymore!" Ma Chao's hard work was in vain by Jia Xu's two words 'willing to surrender', and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart: "Father should give great respect to this person in the future, but don't trust this person too much." After all, the old fox has not really been. And this old fox's character is also a little unreliable, don't he buy us then, we will count the money for him......"
"I'm afraid I don't have that ability to be a father. Looking at the entire Xiliang, only my son can match it. Ma Teng praised his eldest son with a smile. In my heart, I am also very happy to see that there is a new master who is good at scheming and tricking.
"Hey....... old man, this old fox is extremely smart, if you only rely on playing tricks, you can't keep him. Only when we grow stronger and stronger, when our subordinates are able to serve like rain, will he arouse his pride and serve our Ma family with all his heart. Combined with history, Ma Chao came to this conclusion, but then his eyes flashed, and he said unwillingly: "However, whether or not he can keep him, just say that he is now helping the wind, then he can't be cheap." Didn't Brother Dai, Brother Xiu, Brother Tie, and Yunlu already arrive in Fufeng County? Then let Brother Dai, Brother Xiu, Brother Tie, and Yunlu all worship Jia Xu as a teacher, and count as much mental strength as you can squeeze him! ”
"This plan is very good, it can not only show our importance to Jia Xu, but also let the Ma family have the righteousness of master and apprentice with him, and it can also let the next generation of the Ma family learn some strategies, it is really a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone!" Ma Teng stroked his palms and laughed, he was quite in favor of Ma Chao's idea.
It has been a few days since Ma Teng captured Fufeng County, in addition to Ma Chao, who has been able to go on the horse to fight, his younger brother Ma Dai, eldest brother Ma Xiu, second brother Ma Tie, younger sister Ma Yunlu and his mother and other family members are still in Chencang.
"Father, if there is nothing else to do for the time being, the child will retire." Ma Chao arched his hand, thinking of Poqiang's two incidents of helping the wind, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.
"That Chao'er doesn't ......" Ma Teng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw that Ma Chao had already gotten up, he turned around and said: "My son is at his own convenience, and my father can have today, thanks to my son's splendid strategy." Originally, Ma Teng's intention was to let Ma Chao also worship Jia Xu as a teacher, but later I thought of all Ma Chao's actions in recent days, and his heart and strategy were probably not under this Jia Xu......
Ma Chao got up and bowed to Ma Teng, then turned to leave. For this very benevolent and fatherly Xiliang hero, Ma Chao still agrees with it in his heart: after all, in the rough and fierce place of Xiliang, it is still commendable to have a father like Ma Teng who cares for his family and cherishes family affection.
"How's it going?" Back in his cabin, Ma Chao opened his mouth and asked.
At this time, in this hut, Pang De, Brother Chou, Han Feng, and Meng Da were already seated, but Jia Xu was still standing gloomily in a corner, like a ghost fox hidden in the dark, silent.
However, Ma Chao didn't want Jia Xu to eat and drink in Fufeng County so easily. Before his subordinates could answer, he pulled Jia Xu over, pressed him to the seat on the left, and introduced to everyone: "Mr. Jia has worshiped the military advisor of our army, and in the future, all the military strategies of our army will have the right to be a counselor." ”
"No!" Pound, Brother Ugly, and Han Feng responded in unison.
And Ma Chao deliberately saw that although Meng Da also got up and saluted, there seemed to be a faint flash of brilliance in his eyes. Ma Chao knew that it was an insulted, provocative and injured look.
And Jia Xu was not humble at all, but just returned a false salute and accepted the respect of the three of them calmly. And when receiving the gift, his eyes seemed to glance at Meng Da......
'There is a door! Ma Chao couldn't help but be happy in his heart: the smarter the person, the more proud he is. Meng Da was in his twenties, when he was arrogant, and now the appearance of Jia Xujia fox made him feel a little crisis.
It's not that Meng Da wants to serve Ma Chao much, but there is no doubt that Meng Da never wants Ma Chao to treat him as a useless person!
originally entered Ma Chao's small group with an embarrassing identity, especially after discovering that Ma Chao's subordinates did not have anyone who was proficient in strategy. Meng Da had a trace of contempt, but Jia Xu's appearance just aroused Meng Da's competitiveness.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you fighting, I'm afraid that both of you will play Xu Shu and enter Cao Ying!" Meng Da, you can resign yourself to your fate and contribute to me, in terms of intelligence and insidiousness, you can't fight Jia Lao Fox...... 'Ma Chao thought proudly in his heart, but he still pretended to have a calm and heavy look on his face, waiting for the report of his subordinates.
"Young master, in the hands of the torture cavalry battalion, how many hard bones do not speak? No matter how hard the bones are, a certain family can smash him to pieces! The ugly brother said with a big ugly mouth, and it can be seen that this handsome and honest man who used to be handsome and honest has already become very perverted......
"Nonsense, what is the reason for the two raids on Fufeng County in the spring?" Ma Chao doesn't care about the ugly brother's 'clever' methods, what he wants is the result!
"Young master, because of the cold last winter, most of the Qiang livestock were frozen to death. And the breakdown is particularly serious, so ...... "Meng Da is a good child who has received a formal education and lives in a normal environment after all, and knows what kind of answer Ma Chao needs.
Ma Chao glanced at Meng Da and was silent.
You really started to take the initiative to open your mouth, but what brought Mao such tragic news?! ——Ma Chao, who was depressed and entangled to the extreme, wailed in his heart.
