"Lao Xu, didn't I say you, just like this, it really works?" Ma Chao looked at the three thousand tigers and leopards under the city with bright armor and a solemn military appearance, and couldn't help but turn around and ask Xu Shu.

After Xu Shu heard Ma Chao's lazy and casual questioning, his face couldn't help but darken. At this time, Xu Shu completely lost the miserable depression he had four days ago. On the contrary, after recuperating and combing, he changed into a Confucian shirt and a grobe, with an indescribable demeanor, and a short beard specially reserved under the chin, which made Xu Shu a little more charming as a mature man.

And after four days of getting along, Xu Shu went from feeling grateful to Ma Chao at the beginning, to admiration and admiration later, to a trace of helplessness, and finally completely lost to Ma Chao's heart of a bastard in the world's mighty appearance, Xu Shu already had a feeling of weakness and struggle for Ma Chao, and even, until he woke up this morning, when he was dragged to the city by Ma Chao, Xu Shu was still thinking: Is his life really ruined in the hands of such a monarch who is inconsistent with the outside?

"Lord, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, Xiahou Miaocai is fast with soldiers, good at quick battles, knows how to abandon the strong and attack the weak, and uses troops flexibly. But all of this is based on Xiahou Miaocai's keen sense of smell on the battlefield. When Xu Shu said this, he also looked at the three thousand tigers and leopards outside the city, and saw that the three thousand soldiers and armor might charge at any time, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "The lord is famous in the world, and he will win every battle." Its reputation for using troops has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and today, the suspicious array is clearly tempting Xiahou Miaocai to attack. That Xiahou Yuan must have been frightened and puzzled when he learned that the lord knew that he had ridden a tiger and a leopard here. Before the truth was discovered, he would never dare to raise troops to attack. ”

"The void is false, and there is doubt in doubt. Soldiers are impermanent and changeable. Ma Chao silently read out these sixteen words, sighed, and then said: "That's what I said, and the book of war is also written like this." But this is playing with an empty city plan, I really don't have a military division in my heart, you said that if Xiahou Yuan comes to call for the battle later, I am doing something good in the performance of the extraterrestrial power? Or is it better to posturing? ”

Xu Shu's face darkened at this time, he couldn't stand Ma Chao's shameless and lazy appearance, and finally couldn't help but say: "Lord, the world's drama, you deserve to be the top character." This pretense, you don't need to say much, right? ”

"That's not necessarily" Ma Chao waved his hand, and after expecting that Xiahou Yuan outside the city was still in doubt, his face gradually turned cold and hard, and he said in a deep voice: "At least, Yuan Zhi's acting is much stronger than super." If it was four days ago, Chao did not save the military division, I am afraid that Shi Tao would have risked his life to avenge his grievances, and he should have interpreted it to Xiahou Yuan, right?! ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he wanted to kneel down and ask for sin, but he stood still. After his face changed for a long time, he regained his composure and said slowly: "The lord has already guessed this?" Could it be that these four days of drama are all out of revenge for Shu's treacherous intentions? ”

Ma Chao didn't answer, and looked at Shi Tao, who was standing silently beside him. couldn't help but chuckle: On that day, Shi Tao ascended to the court to handle the case and called the public officials to take the Yang family's official affairs and cut them off. The officials all hugged the case file and went to the hall, and the defendants and others knelt down the steps. Shi Tao criticized in his hands, his mouth fell, and he listened to the words in his ears, and the twists and turns were clear, and there was no mistake. The people all bowed their heads, and Ma Chao immediately said that he would definitely reuse Shi Tao in the future. Later, Ma Chaohui's name of talent was even louder.

But it's a pity that it was Shi Tao and Xu Shu who were too sharp, which made Ma Chao have doubts in his heart. Although the two of them did it, it is very likely that they are trying to find a position in the hall where the Ma family is full of talents. But after all, the two of them were in a hurry after all, and they told Xiahou Yuan about wanting to attack Yangren County. Ma Chao therefore searched according to the map, and when he thought of Shi Tao's revenge, he naturally saw through the intentions of Xu Shu and Shi Tao.

However, judging from the tragic experience of the two, what the two did was not too much. Even, at that time, the two had not yet joined the Ma family, and there was no disloyalty. However, Ma Chao is not entangled in the matter of the two, but just imposes a small punishment on the two of them for not telling each other within four days: Don't treat the leaders as fools, the leaders must be fools, and the leaders are still a woolen thread? !

Therefore, at this time, Ma Chao was in a moment of danger, and finally broke through this point. For this reason, it is natural to eliminate the estrangement between monarchs and ministers and move forward for the great cause.

"Yes, Yuan Zhi and Guangyuan are both talented, and they are indispensable ministers of the Ma family." After Ma Chao saw that Xu Shu admitted the matter, he didn't have much worry in his heart, and said sincerely: "Only when the monarch and the minister are one can we be of one heart and one mind." And with one heart and one mind, the Ma family can become more and more prosperous. The matter of a certain three people, after today, Hugh will also mention it. In each other's hearts, Quan is just a harmless joke. ”

After Xu Shu and Shi Tao heard this, they both glanced at each other, nodded and bowed at Ma Chao's feet, and said with their hearts: "The lord is benevolent and wise, and his subordinates are happy and convinced." In the future, he will definitely have no reservations about Ma Chao and let him drive! ”

"Well, get up." Ma Chao didn't get up to help the two of them up this time: between the monarch and the minister, it is necessary to keep a trace of distance appropriately. Otherwise, just like these four days, Xu Shu and Shi Tao are not depressed to death?

However, at the head of the city, Ma Chao settled Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and between the monarchs and ministers, there was no doubt. But Xiahou Yuan under the city was suspicious at this time, he looked at the low battlements of the earthen wall in Yangren County, and then saw Ma Chao in a dazzling brocade robe at the head of the city sitting proudly, and he couldn't wait to wave his hand and order an attack. But the situation in front of him made Xiahou Yuan want to raise his hand, but he couldn't raise it

At this time, in the county seat of Yangren, the city gate was opened, and the flags of all roads were hidden. Inside and outside the city gate, there were more than 20 people, bowing their heads and sprinkling sweeps, as if there was no one. In such a scene, where there is a trace of the fierce slaughter of the imminent war, it is like a dilapidated and desolate empty city, under the scorching sun, mourning the bleak city by the railing

And what is even more suspicious is that Ma Chao above the city did not make any movements, except for occasionally chatting and laughing with the two scribes around him, and he was unaware of the three thousand tigers and leopards under his command outside the city? ! Even, what does he drink from time to time? Herbal tea or juice?

"General!" Cao Xiu saw Ma Chao's leisurely and leisurely virtue in the city at this time, after all, he was young and vigorous, and his heart swelled with anger, and he said loudly: "My subordinates know that the general is suspicious, but my subordinates are willing to be the vanguard, lead a hundred tiger and leopard riding elites, and enter the city to explore the truth!" ”

"Withdraw your troops!" Xiahou Yuan spoke categorically, as if he hadn't heard Cao Xiu's words at all.

"General!!" When Cao Xiu heard this, he was almost full of grief and indignation, and said: "Uncle has broken Yuan's technique, and at this moment, Ma Chao's head is like a bag to take things!" You are a martial artist, could it be that at the critical moment, you were scared by Ma Chao's prestige? ! ”

"Presumptuous!!" Xiahou Yuan suddenly spoke, turned back and shouted at Cao Xiu: "What's the use of riding into the city with your three hundred tigers and leopards?" Under Ma Chao, there are at least a few hundred guards! Since they know that a certain level has come, they will naturally lie in the city. Even if he fights with you, how do you know how many soldiers and horses Ma Chao has? And if it is to ride with you with a thousand tigers and leopards, then what is the point of the remaining two thousand tigers and leopards to ride?! And if a certain person rushed directly into the city, wouldn't it be in the hands of Ma Chao?!! ”

Cao Xiu heard that what Xiahou Yuan said was reasonable, and his face was red and he didn't dare to say it again. And at this moment, after Xiahou Yuan sighed, he said to Cao Xiu slowly: "You look at Ma Chao's expression, did you inadvertently glance at the west side of the six eyes?" ”

"Huh?" When Cao Xiu heard this, he immediately looked west: to the west of Yangren County, there is a jungle with deep trees! And until this time, the tigers and leopards rode in formation, and it seemed that no birds had fallen into the forest!!

Cao Xiu's face changed greatly when he saw this, and for a while, he seemed to finally understand Xiahou Yuan's good intentions, and his eyes were like torches: he was really still too tender, if he led the troops himself, I am afraid that he would be completely broken by Ma Chao, right?
