"Your Majesty has a will, Pingxi General Ma Teng, since returning to the imperial court, loyalty, recently pacified the rebellion in Xinping County, promoted to Zhenxi General, his son Jianwei General Ma Chao, young and promising, shocked Qiang Hu, raised my Han military prestige, to protect the peace of a county in the north, can be a big responsibility, Xiante was promoted to the general of Pingxi, Yongding Hou fiefdom food yi thousand households, to assist the Zhenxi general to protect the three counties of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi, Qin this!"

Reading the holy decree, Eguan Bo belt, majestic appearance, Ma Chao is interested in his thick eyebrows, thick and heroic, he doesn't look like a civil official of the imperial court, but like a military general who fights on the battlefield and has self-denial ethics.

"Thank you to our emperor Hongen, the Ma family will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up!" Ma Teng respectfully accepted the holy decree, but the corners of his mouth were already a little crooked.

"Mr. Chaoguan is righteous and awe-inspiring, I don't know the name of Mr.?"

Well, so, so, can it be considered a professional habit?

"I have long heard that the son of the Ma family admires talents, especially the civil officials who come to the court to announce the decree, and he would rather miss it." When the scribe said this, I don't know whether it was ridicule or sarcasm, but anyway, people listened to it, and there was a faint feeling that they couldn't say it.

Ma Chao frowned, and was about to suppress this goods, but heard the man continue: "Mou Nai Huaxin, the newly canonized Xinping County Taishou of the imperial court. ”

Hua Xin, Hua Zi Fish?

Caught a big fish this time?

Hua Xin was a famous internal affairs talent in the late Han Dynasty, although in Ma Chao's heart, he could not compare with Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun, Liu Yu, Ma Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, Gu Yong, these absolute leaders in internal affairs, but in terms of governing the country and personal ethics, he is still very capable. Especially in the later period, Hua Xin worshiped the prime minister and promoted Situ, which reflected Hua Xin's extraordinary ability.

Thinking that he had finally caught a big fish this time, Ma Chao sneered in his heart, and his face couldn't help but be a little hideous.

And Hua Xin saw Ma Chao's expression, and couldn't help but say leisurely: "I have brought my family members with me, I don't know where the young master is placed?" ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and then saw Jia Xu who seemed to be smiling on the side, and already knew in his heart that Jia Xu might have used some skills to fool Hua Xin halfway. After being overjoyed in his heart, he waved his hand and said arrogantly: "Ziyu is a great talent, today I am fortunate to be assisted by Ziyu, how can I be stingy with a house?" A certain morning bought a house next to the county guard's mansion, and Ziyu could place his family here. ”

In fact, Ma Chao did not buy a house, but bought almost all the houses near the county guard's mansion. In order to place the rapidly expanding talents under his own hands. These talents all have to come to the parliament from time to time, and if they live far away, Ma Chao will still be too late.

"In this way, I will go to settle my family, and I hope that the young master will not blame his subordinates for being rude." Hua Xin bowed his hand and said goodbye, and Ma Chao also sent him off politely.

Looking back, Ma Chao was confused: this Hua Xin went to Xinping County to take office, but he took the initiative to place his family in Fufeng County, obviously bent on making a revolution with himself. Although he may be famous, isn't he still worthy of Hua Xin's dedication? This Jia fox, what kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into Hua Xin, and make Hua Xin like this?

However, there are more important things in front of him, and Ma Chao doesn't bother to ask about them. Instead, he directly grabbed Jia Xu's hand and whispered in his ear: "Han Sui is here, and he has already hid in the inner room in order to avoid suspicion. ”

Jia Xu frowned, and immediately restrained his expression that seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, but listened attentively to Ma Chao talking about Han Sui's coming this time. When talking about Dong Zhuo's letter at the end, Jia Xu's expression was grim, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Old fox, Han Sui said that on the letter, Dong Zhuo named him the general of Zhenxi, but now the holy decree clearly seals the position of a certain father, among them, could it be that Han Sui is a forgery?" In the end, Ma Chao was so suspicious.

"Unlikely, Dong Zhuo only informed him in a personal letter, but it was not a holy decree of the imperial court. From this point of view, it should be when he entered Chang'an, and it happened that Dong Zhuo was thinking about Ma Han in Liangzhou. After learning that the Ma family had also captured the two counties, they changed the name of this holy decree and sent it down! After shaking his head, Jia Fox thought for a while, and then continued: "Jincheng is far away from Chang'an, and it is not as convenient as Fufeng. It was not surprising that the holy decree would come to Fufeng first, and then to Jincheng. Presumably, the holy decree to canonize Han Sui is already halfway through. ”

"In this way, will the holy decree of canonizing Han Sui still imply that Han Sui will do something to the Ma family?" Ma Chao thought about it and felt that Jia Fox's analysis was right. So, we put the core of the problem on this again.

"It must be so, and it is more likely that Dong Zhuo's goal will probably be placed on the five counties of Longxi, Guangwei, Nan'an, Anding, and Tianshui." Jia Xu squinted his eyes again and said firmly.

Ma Chao also nodded in agreement: Although the five counties of Longxi, Guangwei, Nan'an, Anding, and Tianshui are also under the rule of the imperial court, the Tiangao Emperor is far away, and Dong Zhuo has already given up the meaning of Yongzhou, the birthplace at this time. As a result, these five counties are now rampant with thieves, except for Wei Duan of Tianshui County, Cui Liang of Anding County, and Wang Qi of Guangwei County, the other two counties are basically in a state of anarchy.

And these five counties are precisely at the junction of the Ma family in Fufeng County and the Han family in Jincheng County. If Dong Zhuo uses these five counties as bargaining chips, it can be expected that the Ma and Han families will definitely quarrel over this, and Dong Zhuo can sit firmly on Diaoyutai and watch the tiger fight across the mountain!

What a fragrant bait, such a poisonous method, such a ruthless strategy!

This must be from the hand of Li Ru again!

Ma Chao knew that even if Dong Zhuo was intentional, he couldn't think of such a meticulous and unparalleled conspiracy. Only that poisonous man Li Ru, that guy who is as cold as a poisonous snake, can come up with such a poisonous plan!

"In that case, does the old fox have a solution?" This matter is greatly related to the future of the Ma family, and Han Sui is in the hall again, and he is about to meet Han Sui, which can be described as urgent.

For a while, Ma Chao didn't make a decision in his heart, but Jia Xu, the fox, seemed to be confident, and returned to his previous face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said to Ma Chao leisurely: "There is a solution, but ......"

"However, I'm afraid I have to sacrifice the hue of the young master?" The corners of Jia Xu's mouth flashed a strange arc, and he said jokingly.

"It's not going to be for someone to marry that Han Ying again, right?" Ma Chao was worried in his heart: How can everything be related to this?

"That's right, the young master only married Han Ying, so that the Ma Han family had a marriage relationship, even if Dong Zhuo wanted to attack Yongliang Erzhou, it would take a lot of effort!" After Jia Xu finished saying this, Ma Teng on the side couldn't help it a little and said:

"Dong Zhuo wrote a letter to a certain yesterday, saying that the young daughter Dong Yi has a gentle temperament, dignified and polite......"

"Oh, Daddy, it's all burning ass, are you still kidding this? Just coax Han Sui, why are you still addicted? Ma Chao was so angry that he was funny and jumping, if it weren't for his father in this era, he would probably beat Ma Teng.

And after Ma Chao finished saying this, he suddenly found that there was a terrible silence in the courtyard at this time. Thinking back to Ma Teng's sworn tone, and Han Sui didn't know that Dong Zhuo had a young daughter, Ma Teng could actually know......

"When did my father tell you that it was a lie to fool Han Sui? I just received this letter last night, but I have to let you know it in the future......"

Ma Chao glanced at Ma Teng, who had a serious expression, and nodded sadly when he looked at Jia Xu, who seemed to be smiling. Suddenly I felt that the sky was falling apart: God, is it also a mistake that this is handsome and fights well? Even if it's wrong, then you can't be so wrong!!
