"Brother Zilong went to Youzhou since more than three months, and before leaving, he said that he was to report the hussar general's leniency and great kindness, and he wanted to bring back a generous gift."

At this time, the candles at the four corners of the house were finally lit. The bright and beating flames immediately gave the whole room a bit of jumping breath. Coupled with the water and wine dishes specially provided by the Dragon Gate Inn, under the single song and Gan Ning as a companion drink, the cold and weird atmosphere of the previous one is no longer restored.

This time, in order to make up for the previous misunderstanding, Ma Chao racked his brains to say some bold jokes, Tai Shici felt his sincerity and was very talkative. For a while, finally they were happy and happy.

And when Tai Shici told Zhao Yun's whereabouts at this time, the wine bottle that Ma Chao picked up couldn't help but stop at his mouth. In the end, he sighed, and said with a face full of shame: "My brother thinks so much about the Ma family, and the younger brother thinks that my brother has a different heart because my brother has not returned for a year, and he also uses this means to tempt, so he has no shame to face his brother again!" ”

"Engong is worried a lot, and this matter is also blamed on Brother Long Xian, although he is dedicated to the Ma family, he has not heard from him for more than a year, and it is inevitable that Engong will be suspicious." Tai Shici also picked up a bottle of wine at this time, and after sniffing the aroma of the wine in the bottle, he continued: "Since Engong and Zilong Xiandi are already 'brothers', they must have a great friendship. I look at this temptation, although it seems dangerous, but there is no shortage of Engong to Zilong as a meeting gift, right? ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he looked at Tai Shici, and his heart became more and more happy: the three great generals of Eastern Wu, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Zhou Tai, can be said to have supported the brave backbone of Jiangdong boys. Among them, it is particularly rare that among the three, Gan Ning is a cadre general with both military strategy, Zhou Tai is a general who governs one side, and Tai Shici is a righteous general.

But at this time, it seems that Taishi Ci is accurate and strange, and he is a wise general who is proficient in psychology. Such a person is really able to leave a 'big husband born in troubled times, and he should bring a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements; What I want to do today is unsuccessful, but I will die! Such a general who inspires the entire Soochow and even the entire Han nationality to be hot-blooded men!

"Although what Brother Ziyi said was superpsychological, this time it still made Brother Ziyi see a joke." Holding the wine bottle, Ma Chao touched it lightly with Tai Shici, and then respected Gan Ning and the single, changed to a look of indignation, and said loudly: "This wine will be drunk for Brother Zilong who is far away in Youzhou, and I hope Brother Zilong can return as soon as possible!" Wouldn't it be nice to laugh on the battlefield?! ”

"Eun Gong, please!" Tai Shici seemed to have a good relationship with Zhao Yun, and after saying that, he also drank it all.

But after Ma Chao put down the wine bottle, he saw that he had also drunk three rounds and had five flavors of food, so he knew that it was time to play meat. As a result, his eyes were slightly misty, and he reached out and gently patted Tai Shici's shoulder, saying, "Brother Ziyi looks down on me Ma Mengqi!" ”

When this sentence fell, Tai Shi Ci was really shocked, and hurriedly said in a solemn voice: "Engong has a great kindness to Ci to save his mother, and Ci is determined to be the liver and brain, and I want to wait for Zilong Xian's brother to return, and go to Sili to join Engong." How did you know that seeing Engong today made Engong so angry? ”

"Zilong is my brother, and Ziyi is also a brother to Zilong. In this way, Meng Qizi is also the younger brother of Ziyi, why is it that until now, Brother Ziyi is still commensurate with a 'benevolent father'? After listening to Tai Shi Ci's words, Ma Chao's heart was actually a little clear, and he knew that Tai Shi Ci had the intention of taking the initiative to defect when he came tonight.

But at this time, the drama was already in full swing, and I had to continue acting: "If it weren't for the fact that I had heard the name of Donglai Tai Shici for a long time and admired it in my heart, I wouldn't have let Brother Zilong trust him for thousands of miles and bring loquat fruit to treat his aunt's croup." Now I heard that Brother Ziyi said that his aunt's illness has changed greatly, why does the elder brother still obsessed with such small favors and small favors, so that Chao is the one who asks for retribution? ”

"The virtuous brother is a dignified Han hussar general, and the mercy is only a small grass people........" Tai Shici's face darkened, and after retreating slightly to show humility, he said this.

But when Ma Chao heard it, although his face was feigned with anger, his heart was already happy: Sure enough, this is the rhythm, if you Tai Shici don't mention my official position, I really can't continue to accept you!

When he lowered his head, Ma Chao gave Gan Ning a look very vaguely. Gan Ning and Ma Chao have been for a long time now, and they have already had a tacit understanding of Ma Chao's intentions, after seeing his eyes, Gan Ning was angry, smashed the wine bottle on the case, and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, so slanderous of a certain family master!" Ning was only a water thief before, but after he came under the command of the lord, he worshiped General Hengjiang and commanded 3,650 people. He also followed the lord to attack the Cheng clan, and fought with Xiahou Yuan, a famous general of the hundred generals, and became famous in Yanzhou. If you take out your body to talk about things, how can you rather get ahead? ”

Speaking of which, in order to achieve the best effect, Gan Ning bowed down to Ma Chao before continuing: "When is the lord the kind of person who values his birth and fame? Although there are many famous families under his command, Pang Lingming, Jia Wenhe, Xu Yuanzhi, Bu Zishan, Xu Gongming and other adults, who are not the lord's wisdom and talent, after investing in the Ma family, they shined, ranking on the spectrum of 'famous schemes' and 'hundred generals', and spreading the glory of the 14 states of the Han Dynasty? ! ”

Sure enough, some words, after others speak on their behalf, the effect will be very different. After hearing this, Tai Shi Ci was directly ashamed, and apologized to Gan Ning first: "Ci made a slip of the tongue for a while, which made the general angry, and I hope for Haihan!" After saying this, Tai Shici then knelt down solemnly to Ma Chao and said: "It is a blessing in my life to see the hussar general today. If the general does not give up, he is willing to worship under the general's command, and he will not hesitate to do so! ”

"Brother Ziyi, please get up!" Ma Chao pretended to be angry again, and after scolding Gan Ning, he hurriedly picked up Tai Shici and said: "Chao is only willing to recognize Ziyi as a brother, and ask for martial arts and strategies day and night, how can he expect Ziyi to serve and serve him?" ”

That's. Tai Shici is not a fool, seeing that Ma Chao is so good, he also knelt down again, and shouted: "If the lord does not allow it, his subordinates will not be able to kneel on the ground!" ”

"Let's go!" Pretending to pat his thigh, Ma Chao once again helped Tai Shici up, and said: "Since Brother Ziyi can afford to look down on him, Chao will worship Ziyi as the strong bow general today, and after returning to Chang'an, he will form a strong bow battalion of 3,650 people to dominate his camp!" ”

"Tai Shi Ci has thanked the lord, and in the future, he should do his best and donate his body to repay the lord's appreciation!" Tai Shi Ci inevitably kowtowed again at this time to thank him, but this time he thanked him more sincerely.

Not for anything else, but for Ma Chao to really say the sentence he had been longing for in his heart: dominate its camp!

These four words may sound simple, but they are a major feature of the Ma family: no matter for the general, most of them enjoy the power to dominate their subordinates. And this kind of power makes it possible for any general, even if he is attributed to the superior leadership, to independently win military merits for his standard battalion. And if you are ordered to fight alone, you will be able to give full play to your general's talents without being held back, and win the stage for the generals to fight and show their might!

After all, the Ma family is wealthy, and for any talented person, they can come up with the best interests. And if Tai Shi Ci defects to other princes, not to mention whether he can win the respect of that person with his white body, even if he can lead an army, he only has the right to command and no command, and he can only listen to his superiors at all levels, and it is rare to have room to show his talents.

And the hero of troubled times, which one is not a high-minded and arrogant person? Even though he has a forbearant personality, he has been smoothed out by the world. But the ambition in their hearts is still there, how can they be willing to submit to others?

Therefore, the kind of merit competition mechanism established by Ma Chao of 'giving full play to the subjective initiative of his subordinates under the general strategy' has firmly attracted the hearts of those hot-blooded young people and talented people.

"Lord," after the identity was confirmed, Tai Shici also changed his mind and took the initiative to speak: "Although my subordinates did not personally participate in the matter of today's talent conference, they still know Liu Xuande's heart to some ........extent."

"Oh?" Ma Chao smiled even more beautifully now, he really couldn't imagine that after recovering a general like Tai Shici, he actually added a new skill to get, which is really sure to make a profit!

Especially, at this time, Ma Chao really didn't figure out what kind of medicine Liu Bei had taken wrong, and he didn't take the initiative to send troops to Yanzhou in an environment where the Yuan family did not interfere and the Ma family supported? !
