"I can't figure out why I just talk outside the tent and then make a little mess, and some people really think it's a godsend?" Ma Chao walked boredly in the hall of the righteous house, talking about it leisurely, but in his heart he was worried about pretending to be a ghost tomorrow.

Although Wudu County was captured, only half of the people's hearts were subdued: half of the people were overjoyed by the Ma family's accession, and they cheered each other; The other half of the people, especially the Wudoumi cultists, began a hunger strike, one by one with sad faces, chanting doomsday prophecies such as 'the sky will die'.

In response to this situation, Fa Zheng came up with a bad idea. It was to follow the treatment of fighting poison with poison when burning the temple at that time, and wantonly engage in a personality cult in Wudu County, so that Ma Chao, the heavenly general, walked on the altar and completely destroyed the remnants of the Wudou Rice Sect in the hearts of the people of Wudu County.

If it were just that, Ma Chao would also enjoy the vanity of the limelight. But after seeing Fa Zheng's plan, Ma Chao's face became a little bitter: this time it was not just as simple as asking Ma Chao to make a speech, but all the tricks that the arsenal could create to pretend to be a ghost.

For example, daytime ascension - using the principle of saltpeter to make ice, make some water vapor white smoke rise behind you; Golden light is everywhere - the copper mirror reflects the sun's rays, making Ma Chao look like he is possessed by golden light; Invulnerability - the props are naturally silver guns and wax guns, and no matter how they pierce them, they can't kill Ma Chao;

Even, seeing that at the end, Ma Chao was surprised to see the juggling skill of 'crushing the big stone in the chest', and at that time, Ma Chao took the plan and scolded Fa Zheng. However, Ma Chao also knew in his heart that in this ignorant and superstitious Wudu County, only the unruly trick of Fa Zheng could completely reassure the people of Wudu County - but! Thinking that tomorrow he will sell meat like a monkey to win the hearts of the people, Ma Chao is really red-faced, and he feels that he can't afford to lose that person.......

He's not really the same as Pang Tong, there is no limit to children's play - after all, he is already a man in his thirties at a psychological age, and if he plays with these things, he can only feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart!

It's a pity that Gan Ning and Zang Ba, who were standing in front of Ma Chao at this time, couldn't detect Ma Chao's thoughts, only Zang Ba continued Ma Chao's questioning and said: "Lord, that Yang Ren kid can be tricked, naturally because of your clever calculation." Think about it, that kid was locked up in a prison and starved for three days and three nights, and he was so frightened that he had long lost his ability to judge. Moreover, the performances of those people in the shadows are so realistic, and there are two of us whose identities he knows revealing the news, how can he not believe it? ”

"Yes, this is the category of psychology, when people are in despair, they will always give the brain a hope of survival. As soon as there is any indication, whether it is true or false, he himself will believe it to be true. Even if there is a doubt afterwards, the brain will automatically come up with a reason to make up for it, so that he will further believe in that hope. Ma Chao sighed again and put down the plan in his hand.

On the plan, a lot of juggling projects have been sketched out in a mess, but Ma Chao glanced at it casually, and still felt very awkward: That guy Fazheng, wouldn't he want to take this opportunity to deliberately make himself ugly?

Fortunately, at this time, the ugly brother who went out to spy on Yang Ren's escape came back, with a look of crying and laughing on his face, and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, Yang Ren's whereabouts, the shadow has already been detected." ”

"How?"

Listening to Ma Chao's simple question, the ugly brother's face became even more weird, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "People are not as good as heaven, and plans can't catch up with changes.......

"What does that mean?" Now Ma Chao became interested, after all, it was not easy to be able to say two words with depth in the ugly brother.

"Last night, after Yang Ren rode away on horseback, the shadow has been secretly following him, intending to find out where Zhang Lu's main force is. However, this morning I got the news that when Yang Ren ran to Fu County, he met Zhang Lu's envoy. They were taken in by the envoys, apparently to return to their lair after the envoys visited the lord. ”

"Zhang Lu's messenger?" When Ma Chao heard this, his expression couldn't help but move: Since Zhang Lu's envoy came, he undoubtedly came to seek peace with the Ma family. It is further speculated that Pang Tong did not fully convince Zhang Lu, and may not have attracted support from the Kwantung side, making Zhang Lu and the Ma family fight to the end.

If this peace talks go well, then Hanzhong can be completely unified, and the class teacher will return to Chang'an. After that, the Ma family's energy was all focused on the Kwantung turmoil, and when Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Liu Xie were at their happiest, they sent troops to the Kwantung region. At that time, no matter how long you drive, sweep the three sides; or the weak to attack the strong, into the map of Jizhou; Or join the strong and swallow the weak, and enter Yan and Xu Erzhou, which are all the territory of the Ma family, and the Ma family is in charge! …….

"Moreover, the envoy who came to visit the lord this time is still a guy that the lord is very familiar with." Seeing that after Ma Chao heard this report, instead of getting angry, a familiar evil smile appeared on his face, and the ugly brother's heart was also half relieved, and he pulled out a smile and said: "It is Yang Song, who you sent a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, he is the main envoy of the Hanzhong negotiations this time, and he is also the sole envoy." ”

"Good!" Ma Chao was overjoyed, that Yang Song, he didn't care about Ma Chao in history, he only knew that with that guy as the master, he could completely get all the ins and outs of Zhang Lu. It can be said that Yang Song's visit at this time is really timely!

Moreover, more importantly, according to the normal distance, it only takes half a day, that is, Yang Song will arrive tomorrow. The 'juggling' plans that Nafa is preparing don't have to care about at all: compared with pacifying Zhang Lu in one fell swoop and winning over half of the people in Wudu County, the fools can clearly distinguish which is more important. Even if Fa Zheng said that it was a big day, it was impossible for Ma Chao to give up receiving Yang Song and go on stage to perform.

Sure enough, during the meeting that night, Ma Chao obviously saw Fa Zheng's stunned face - that guy really wanted to take advantage of tomorrow's opportunity to make a fool of himself!

Therefore, Ma Chao left Fa Zheng with a meaningful smile and signaled Fa Zheng to be careful in the future. In this way, Fazheng's 'stunned loss' immediately becomes 'regret not at the beginning'. At the meeting, everyone had a very tacit understanding of the conclusion of the peace talks: as long as Zhang Lu agreed to give up Dongchuan and hand over Pang Tong, the Ma family would return to Chang'an and give Zhang Lu the title of Marquis of Anle, so that Zhang Lu could enjoy Qingfu.

As for the Five Dou Rice Sect, the Ma family will never let Zhang Lu spread it again. The next battle has already made the Ma family see the frenzy of religious trust. If Zhang Lu was still obsessed this time, Ma Chao would have ordered the slaughter of the Dongchuan Wudoumi Sect, and would not let the Wudoumi Sect make waves.

Religion, this kind of thing, it's terrible.

Ma Jiajun can dominate the world, and from another level, all Ma Jiajun firmly believe that Ma Chao is invincible. Therefore, they will not rest until death, fearing life and death – this is also a kind of faith.

And two opposing beliefs, on the basis of one rule, can never coexist!

This is the bottom line of the Ma family, and at the same time, it can be imagined that it is also the focus of tomorrow's negotiations.

Fortunately, since ancient times, strength has been the cornerstone of all negotiations. In tomorrow's negotiations, if the soft ones don't work, the hard ones will come. Ma Chao is willing to reason with Yang Song, and can talk a few more nonsense words with him. And if you don't want to be reasonable, you just need to say, 'Let Zhang Lu wash his neck and wait, I will raise troops to talk to him in person' and everything can be over.

50,000 elite soldiers of the Ma family are entrenched in Xiafen City, and Zhang Lu simply does not have any confidence to argue with Ma Chao - this kind of negotiation is Ma Chao's favorite negotiation.
