Chapter 19 Someone Got Little Shoes Worn On?
Ma Chao returned to Fufeng County with an unspeakable grievance, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he ordered Ma Chao to go to the county guard's mansion, saying that Ma Teng was looking for him to have something.
Ma Chao naturally had a trace of doubt, although he vaguely guessed that it was related to Dong Zhuo Zhao'an. But he is only a fifteen-year-old boy at present, and his father Ma Teng is also a generation of heroes, so when it comes to recruiting peace, it is good to borrow a donkey from the slope, why do you have to discuss with yourself?
After instructing the military doctor to take good care of Pang De, Ma Chao walked to the hall of the county guard's mansion. What I saw was Ma Teng's face that was so black that it could almost smoke.
"Father, what makes you so gloomy and angry?" In front of Meng He, Ma Chao is still more inclined to honestly show an illusion of fatherly kindness and filial piety, which makes Ma Teng have more face.
But Ma Teng glanced at Ma Chao with disgust, and snorted very facelessly. Ma Chao could naturally hear that Ma Teng didn't mean to hurt him, but he was not in the mood to perform with Ma Chao.
"Dong thief deceives people too much!" After Ma Teng finished humming, he suddenly slapped the case table again, which scared Ma Chao a lot.
What's going on? Could it be that Dong Zhuo sent a messenger first, and then turned the spear and placed Ma Teng together? But along the way, I didn't see Dong Zhuobing coming to Fufeng County?
Fortunately, Meng He, who has a very lively eye and has the potential to be a traitor, is very sensible, and pulled Ma Chao to quietly tell him about the upside down.
It turned out that Ma Teng's anger was not a big deal, because Dong Zhuo actually only sent three people to Fufeng County to read the holy decree this time, and the biggest official position among them was actually only a seven-rank engaged Zhonglang. What's even more odious is that after careful inquiry, it turned out that this person used to be an unpopular Xicao Peng, and this time he came to Fufeng to announce the edict, so he deliberately received an official position as a Zhonglang.
No wonder Ma Teng was angry, when Ma Chao heard this, he inevitably had some thoughts of rebellion. There is no other reason, it is because Dong Zhuo, a dead fat man, is too faceless and too bad at doing things!
From ancient times to the present, whenever it comes to appeasing and accepting rebels, it is necessary to send court officials to come forward, so as to appear sincere and give face to the rebels. You must know that Ma Teng now has more than 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command, and after subduing the Fufeng County soldiers, he has at least 40,000 troops under his command. Moreover, Fufeng County is still an important place in Gyeonggi, to put it mildly, if Ma Teng really rebels and stabs his troops at Chang'an, as long as he stabs accurately and ruthlessly, he can poke out Dong Zhuo's!
Before, when the Kwantung princes raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, they stopped the army, and Dong Zhuo sent envoys to make peace, and the level of the envoys sent was very high, including Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yin, Zhijin Wu Hu Mu Ban, Wu Xuan, the master craftsman, and Wang Xuan, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, most of whom were senior officials at the level of "Jiuqing". That's it, the Kanto heroes still don't buy it. And now that he has been transferred to Ma Teng, he will only send a petty official who is not in the stream. Even, such a grade that does not enter the stream, is still temporarily assigned!
It's too much of a bully!
"Father, it's not too late for us to bring in the messenger. The boy wants to hear what this engaged Zhonglang can say! Ma Chao was also angry, and sat on the side, waiting for the court official to arrive.
And Ma Teng saw that his eldest son also had this backbone, and the black qi on his face weakened a little. Only poor Meng Ta, seeing the two fierce gods sitting here with big swords, couldn't help but feel faintly worried in his heart. But after all, he couldn't afford to provoke these two great gods, so he had to ask his subordinates to invite the messenger in.
"Jia Xu of Guzang County, Wuwei County, asks to see you!"
The person who came was dressed in a long robe, and was dressed as a typical Han scribe. After saying this sentence, he bowed slightly, looked at Ma Teng, his eyes were radiant, and he quietly integrated the world into his heart.
This demeanor immediately made Ma Teng a little ashamed. After all, looking at the bearing of others, it is not something that ordinary small officials can have.
"You say you're Jia Xu Jia Wenhe?" Ma Chao seemed to suddenly forget his previous unhappiness, and shouted in a lost voice, destroying the angry Xiliang Zhijin temperament at once.
"It's despicable." Jia Xu replied slightly, and turned his gaze to the young man: "I don't know if the son recognizes the contemptible?" ”
Jia Xu's bearing and demeanor have always been very good, but when he saw Ma Chao, he was suddenly terrified: What kind of eyes are that? Why did you meet the delicious little fat sheep with the big bad wolf, and I followed ...... It's like a big man who has been hungry and thirsty for decades and sees a peerless beauty?
So red fruit, so straightforward, so fierce......
Jia Xu trembled suddenly, and an ominous premonition appeared without warning. Sure enough, Ma Chao, who was out of shape, still didn't know it, and actually roared with his hands: "Meng Ta, hurry up!" Close the door, don't let him run away for me! ”
"Less, why is the young boy like this... In this way, Wei Chen came to read the holy decree on the order of Xiangguo, the mission is not completed, and he will not escape...... "Seeing that Ma Chao was almost about to pounce on him like a vicious dog robbing, Jia Xu hurriedly said this, hoping to stabilize Ma Chao.
But Ma Chao was still trembling with excitement, and he shouted in his mouth: "What holy decree, isn't it Dong Zhuo who wants to appease us?" Rest assured, as long as the price is high and real power is given, then for the sake of Jia Xu's old man's face, we will definitely surrender! ”
"Uh... The young boy is really quick to talk and upright. Jia Xu held back for a long time, and finally said the four words 'upright heart' to describe Ma Chao's madness. However, while speaking, a trace of secret brilliance flashed in his eyes: This young man, although he speaks straightforwardly, he sees the problem to the point!
"Please also ask Mr. Jia to quickly state the conditions set by the imperial court, don't delay our next important things!" Ma Chao was like a mad demon possessed, and he didn't turn a corner when he spoke, and he simply lost the face of Xiliang Ma's family.
Ma Teng's face in the main hall gradually turned black again, and it was so black that he could almost pinch out the water! was about to get angry, but when he thought that his son had been acting in unexpected ways recently, he tried his best to endure it, wanting to see if this son could lose his share and throw it at his grandmother's house!
The most pitiful thing is Meng Ta, an old mouth, which can almost stuff two eggs and seams......
"General Pingxi, supervise the wind and guard too much. The young son is brave and unparalleled, and he is a general of Zhaowu. The subordinates of the meritorious officials of Fufeng County can be appointed by themselves. Jia Xu seemed to have adapted to Ma Chao's excitement, and simply and directly said the canonization of the imperial court.
"Huh?" Ma Chao calmed down suddenly, and couldn't help but have thoughts about Jia Xu and this canonization in his heart.
It is said that the canonization of the imperial court, or the conditions prescribed by Dong Zhuo, are still very tempting: General Pingxi is a military attache in the Han Dynasty and oversees Liangzhou, which is suitable for Ma Teng; And supervising Fufeng Taishou means that Ma Teng guards Fufeng County, and can directly take charge of Fufeng's administration on behalf of the imperial court, that is to say, the imperial court acquiesced to Ma Teng's occupation of Fufeng County.
As for rewarding Ma Chao, it is also a catch-up move, after all, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, fifteen years old can already be regarded as an adult, although he is not weak, but he can already be rewarded for official positions. And General Zhaowu is also a miscellaneous general, which is not small; And the most important thing is the last sentence 'Fufeng County's meritorious officials and subordinates can be appointed by themselves', which means that Ma Teng can open a government and build a government, which not only gives Ma Teng the power to manage Fufeng, but even the entire personnel appointment and dismissal power is also given to Ma Teng.
It can be said that this reward is a big hat for Ma Teng, and it is also completely tacitly acquiesced that Ma Teng can make wind and rain in Fufeng County. Even faintly, it can be seen that as long as you kid has the ability, even if you get the entire Liangzhou down, the court will give you a corresponding reward!
This reward completely shows the importance and tolerance of the imperial court, or Dong Zhuo, to Ma Teng. However, why would such a reward, which can be said to be extremely glorious, send an unpopular Zhonglang?
Could it be that this old man Jia Xu was given small shoes?
Ma Chao squinted at Jia Xu, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this thing was strange......
