Chapter 20: Deception

The people who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms have a ruler in their hearts to measure all the first-class strategists of the Three Kingdoms. But no matter in terms of IQ, merit, courage, etc., Jia Xu will undoubtedly rank among the ranks of first-class strategists with an eerie attitude, which makes all commentators sigh and love him.

Jia Xu is a man with strange scheming, courage, complex experience, and deep ambition. Relying on a long shirt and a folding fan, he dared to walk the rivers and lakes, and between waving his hands and gazing, he actually changed the color of the Han River and mountains for a full 400 years.

Although in terms of objective effect, he could not escape the blame for the great chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. But it is undeniable that there are indeed many things in his quality that are difficult for others to achieve.

He is behind a murderous robber, he looks like a kind scribe, who commits heinous crimes while successfully evading the accusations of thousands of people, who can do this?

As a traveler, he sometimes took refuge in the countryside, sometimes dodged in the hall of a certain prince, and committed crimes like a wanderer, and he could talk about scheming, and even dared to let Cao Cao bow down; In his later years, he served as a lieutenant in Cao Pi's court, and his power was thriving, and he looked highly respected.

What kind of strange man is this?

If you talk about spirit beasts, only the ghost fox that lives in the desert full of fierce spirit can be called Jia Xu's name, right?

Therefore, for Jia Xu's visit to Fufeng County this time, Ma Chao's answer is very clear: since you are here, don't think about going back!

If Jia Xu still wants to incarnate a smart and treacherous ghost fox, sow his evil in Chang'an, where the Eastern Han Dynasty will meet, and show his schemes, then Ma Chao's only choice is to kill Jia Xu immediately: what he can't get, he must not let such a person exist in the world to be his enemy!

At this moment, Jia Xu couldn't guess Ma Chao's thoughts at this time, he was still standing quietly in the hall of Fufeng County at this time, waiting for the Xiliang Ma family's reply to the imperial court's recruitment. And at this time, in his opinion, there is such a fifteen-year-old demon in the Ma family, and he doesn't have to bother anymore.

But just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the fifteen-year-old boy had gradually lost his impatience and passion, and turned into a quiet and calm quiet. If that's all there is to it, Jia Xu might be interested in seeing this fifteen-year-old boy as a forgetful friend. But in the end, Jia Xu suddenly felt that this young man did not shy away from showing his unstoppable killing intent!

Jia Xu was born in Wuwei, a remote place. In that place full of rough and fierce atmosphere, the young Jia Xu was contaminated with it, and it was inevitable that there would be some gangsterism mixed in Si Wen's temperament. And later served in Dong Zhuojun, how many cold battlefields Jia Xu has seen? However, such a person like him who is a strategist and full of martial spirit, can't help but be afraid of that young man's murderous intention!

Although there is no reason, Jia Xu can be sure that the young man in front of him, who looks so handsome that he doesn't speak, will really kill himself for no reason!

Jia Xu's mind was spinning sharply, but he still couldn't figure out what went wrong, which made this young man want to kill himself and hurry up! Because of this, in addition to waiting quietly, Jia Xu, who was very anxious, had no way to do anything about this 'moody' teenager!

Fortunately, Ma Chao's killing intent came and went quickly. Because, he seems to have grasped a glimmer of opportunity, a glimmer of opportunity that can make Jia Xu devote himself to the Ma family.

"Mr. Jia, such a favorable condition issued by the imperial court is read out by you on your behalf, presumably, Mr. Jia is also in a high position in the imperial court, and he is highly respected, right?" Ma Chao said these words lightly, and his face did not fluctuate in the slightest. But no one noticed that under his calm voice, his right hand had unconsciously touched the wine bottle on the table.

Anyone, when trying to hide a certain mood, will unconsciously make subconscious cover-up actions, not to mention that Ma Chao is only fifteen years old at this time, even if he adds twenty-five years of life experience in his previous life, Ma Chao does not have any trace of self-confidence to fool Jia Xu, who is resourceful. So, in fact, his action of touching the wine bottle is actually a manifestation of his inner weakness.

"Xu is shallow in knowledge, vulgar and incompetent, above the court, the person who is better than Jia Xu is like a carp crossing the river......" Jia Xu smiled indifferently, he saw Ma Chao's action of touching the wine bottle, and knew that the young man of the Ma family did not deliberately want to know his official position.

"I just want to know, Mr. Jia's rank?!" Ma Chao suddenly shouted, it seemed that all the previous expressions of excitement were in the mirror.

"It's not a mere one who is engaged in Zhonglang." Jia Xu was taken aback, although he already knew what Ma Chao would do next, but in desperation, he still had to say his grade.

"Okay, good, good ......" Ma Chao stood up with a gloomy face, relying on his very well-developed height that was a few points beyond Jia Xu's, and after slowly turning around Jia Xu's side a few times, he suddenly shouted: "The imperial court only sent a Zhonglang who eats 200 stones to recruit the Ma family, isn't it because the Ma family has not captured Chang'an?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was like a cold cellar that was suddenly frozen, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on Meng Ta's forehead, and Ma Teng in the main hall was also shocked: How could such words about a traitor be said openly? Especially in front of the imperial court envoys!

But when these words fell, Jia Xu, as a party concerned, did not have any fluctuations in his expression. Even, faintly, there is still a trace of joy and pride?

"Young boy, don't bother with any more scheming, I wish to surrender ......" Jia Xu arched his hand, faced Ma Chao, and made a respectful gesture.

Ma Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that Jia Xu said that sentence in person, he immediately got up to help Jia Xu, and even stroked Jia Xu's back: "Sir, don't bother the boy, it's Chao Meng Lang." ”

In ancient times, unless it was a close friend who could teach each other, only the master could do the gratifying and encouraging actions made by his subordinates. And Ma Chao's move can be regarded as a high-level statement that he accepts Jia Xu's allegiance.

But is that really the case?

Not really.

"Since the imperial court has given the Ma family the right to appoint official positions on their own, then ......" Ma Chao looked at Ma Teng, who obviously did not react, and consciously accentuated the tone of the words 'self-appointed official positions'.

"Oh, oh, Mr. Jia is so happy to be able to come to help the wind. Mr. Jia is resourceful and famous, and at this moment, there is still a position of sacrificial wine under the Ma family's account, I don't know if Mr. Jia is willing to give in? Although Ma Teng didn't know why Jia Xu suddenly threw himself into his account, he listened to his eldest son's reminder and knew how to continue the play.

In addition to being responsible for all the duties of the military counselor under the rule of the general, he is also in charge of the power of sacrificing wine in the army, and he is an important official who eats 800 stones.

"I don't dare to ask for it." Jia Xu brushed his body again, and he can be regarded as having a reputation in the Ma family.

Seeing that Jia Xu took over Ma Teng's appointment, Ma Chao's face became a little happy again. However, there was still some gloom in my heart: because when Jia Xu bowed before, he bowed instead of bowing. In other words, Jia Xu's choice can be regarded as cooperation, rather than sincere attachment.

The so-called shock of the tiger's body, the overlord's spirit overflowed, and the scene of attracting famous ministers and strategists to bow down was a complete failure. At present, there is still a Meng Da who has not been done, and now there is another Jia Xu who is better than a fox...... Could it be that my brother's character is so unbearable?

"Young master, why do you know that when you come to help the wind, you have the intention of dedicating?" Just when Ma Chao was depressed, Jia Xu smiled and turned against the customer, and asked Ma Chao.

'What kind of gold do you put on your face?' If you hadn't been put in little shoes and scared like this, you, the old fox, would have cooperated obediently? Ma Chao also looked smiling, but in his heart, he was slandering this shameless old fox.
