Chapter Eighty-Three: What Dumb Riddle Does the Old Fox Play?
Ma Chao led an army into the hinterland of the grassland alone, and his great achievements were worse than those of Huo Qu in the Han Dynasty. But it is also the biggest victory for foreign races in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 100 years. And in the holy decree, it is also talked about Ma Chao's merits, 'magnificent works', 'raising the prestige of the Han Dynasty', etc., but why is this hat held high and finally fell gently, just the official was promoted to one level, and it was over if he gave a pavilion that was not salty or light?
Besides, others don't know, how can Jia Fox not know that he entered Chang'an this time in order to seek substantial benefits with the Xiliang Ma family? is just a plus official and a knight, and there is no more control of a few counties and counties, only those false names are used for fart?
Therefore, after Fu Xun and Cai Yong left, Ma Chao immediately fired at Jia Fox: "Master Jia, why did you do such a fake thing?" ”
Ma Teng and Meng Ta didn't react at all, especially Ma Teng, who got the title, but was the first to reprimand Ma Chao: "Chao'er can't be rude, Jia Junshi has worked hard all the way, and he has sought such grace and glory for us." Chao'er doesn't know how to be grateful, why do you still want to be sarcastic? It's so rude to count! ”
Ma Chao didn't need to explain, and Meng He on the side said: "Young master, before you reach the age of the weak crown, you have become a military general of the imperial court, and you have also been given a title and fief. The young master should thank the emperor for his grace at this moment......"
Ma Chao turned his head to look at Ma Teng, then at Meng Ta, didn't say a word, and after drinking a cup of tea, he left with his arms behind his back.
And Ma Teng shouted behind his back: "The erector is rude, pampered and arrogant, and it is useless, and the military advisor should not mind ......"
And Jia Xu just smiled faintly, and also drank a cup of tea and said: "Lord, the young master's vision is like watching fire, and his chest is as strategic as a mountain, and he is going to Chang'an, as the young master said, he can do a fake thing......"
"The military advisor should not go to his heart again, Chao'er is young and vigorous, he collided with the military division, and he also hopes that the military division will be open-minded, and the next day, Teng Bi personally led Chao'er to come to the military division to make amends." Ma Teng thought that Jia Xu was sneering at the Ma family's tutors, and hurriedly apologized to Jia Xu again.
And Jia Xu just smiled and bowed to leave. Subsequently, Pang De, Brother Chou, Han Feng, and Meng Da also said goodbye and left. For a while, Ma Teng and Meng Ta were left with big eyes and small eyes......
After leaving the door, Pang De and Han Feng were about to get busy with the things in hand, but the ugly brother, who had a heart, grabbed the two of them: "What are you going to do?" ”
"When you go to the torture camp, there are a lot of prisoners of war, and if someone instigates trouble, it will not be good."
"Go to the farmland, the young master doesn't know what he's doing recently, so he invited a group of old farmers and sowed some unknown crops......"
Pang De and Han Feng were surprised, but the ugly brother smiled weirdly: "You two, you have to stay by the young master's side for so long." If I expected it right, the young master drank a cup of tea when he left, it meant a cup of tea after a cup of tea; Leaving with his hands behind his back, that meant that we would go quietly to his study...... Didn't you two see that the fox had already gone to the young master's study? ”
"This old fox is too unrighteous!" Pound was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to hold back such a sentence.
"Let's go, it's still ugly and clever. The two of us, according to the young master, that IQ is a hard injury. Han Feng laughed at himself, and pulled Pang De to catch up with the ugly brother.
After entering Ma Chao's study, I saw Jia Xu's fox drinking tea with a smile, but Ma Chao was sitting on the side with a depressed face, and beside him, there was a beautiful maid who was transferred at some point.
"Yun'er, serve tea with the three of you, and then go out." Ma Chao pointed and motioned for Pang De, Brother Ugly, and Han Feng to sit down.
After the little maid called Yun'er served tea, she really closed the door and went out, looking like she had been trained by the young master not badly, and she was very eye-catching.
"Zidu really didn't arrive, which made me a little disappointed." Ma Chao spoke lightly, his tone was not surprised or pleased.
And at this moment, a response came from outside the door: "The young master is too underestimated, and he just went back to the room to get some accounts, but he didn't want to let the young master think badly." As soon as the words fell, Meng Da pushed the door in, and after taking a seat, he continued: "The people who come here are all the henchmen of the young master. Although he is not talented, he has long been devoted to the young master......"
"Well, good, let's get started." Ma Chao nodded, looked at Jia Xu, and said, "Old fox, don't pretend to be a ghost, why is the matter of Chang'an like this?" ”
Jia Xu coughed and squirted out the tea: After this young master is familiar with it, the exit is unbearable. All the people in Fufeng County, everyone has their own nickname, but if they really dare to shout it in person, I'm afraid it will be Ma Chao alone.
"Young master, the affairs of the court have been unexpected." Jia Xu patted his chest, eased his mind, and said: "When I went to Chang'an, I was suddenly shocked to find that people in the court were already panicking. After inquiring, it was found out that Dong Zhuo had killed Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui, his servant Yuan Ji and his family in retaliation for Yuan Shao's rebellion. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all at a loss, but Ma Chao and Meng Da still understood a little: The most clever means of political struggle is to "lead but not provoke", that is, your weakness is in my hands, but I will not show your hole cards for the time being, so that you can't touch them, so you have some concerns. But Dong Zhuo did this well, which not only completely offended Yuan Shao, but also provoked people all over the world to raise righteousness in the name of revenge for the Yuan family, putting himself in a situation where he was embattled.
"The butcher is already mad?" After thinking for a while, Meng Da spoke.
"Not only that, Dong Zhuo also ordered his generals to hold the fortress and stay still." Jia Xu spoke again, but these words made Pang De, Ugly Brother, and Han Feng even more confused.
And Ma Chao knew what Jia Xu meant: after Xu Rong defeated Cao Cao in Xingyang, Dong Zhuo should know how vulnerable the scholars were. At the beginning of this month, the Eastern Front Coalition Army of the Dong Coalition Army was disbanded again, and it should be easy to use Dong Zhuo's strength to go north to break Yuan Shao's Northern Front Coalition Army, and to go south to defeat Yuan Shu's lonely family. But Dong Zhuo, who has absolute military superiority, chose a defensive posture, what does this mean?
"In the end, the old man also found out the news that Dong Zhuo ordered the imperial court to abolish the 'five baht money' and melt the bronze statue to cast the 'small money', which caused the prices in Chang'an to soar, and the wealth of the people flowed into Dong Zhuo's pocket, and Dong Zhuo also grabbed the strong man to establish a dock ......" Jia Xu finally said, and after taking a sip of tea, he couldn't help but sigh.
And Pang De, Han Feng, and Ugly Brother were all stunned, and they didn't know what kind of dumb riddles the young master, Jia Fox and Meng He were playing.
Ma Chao saw the appearance of these three people, and also sighed, and explained to them: "Dong Zhuo's killing of the Yuan family shows that he is mentally handicapped; And he ordered his subordinates to stand still, indicating that he no longer had the determination to fight the Kwantung coalition forces to the end; In the end, he minted a small amount of money, amassed the wealth of the people, and built a dock, indicating that he was short-sighted and began to be greedy for pleasure. Combining the above three articles, it shows that Dong Zhuo lost his ambition to dominate the world at this time, so on the one hand, he took revenge on the scholars with brutal measures, and on the other hand, he accumulated wealth for himself viciously. What he did was not to want to be in a corner of peace and enjoy a lifetime. ”
"Oh, I see, that's ......" The three of them nodded their heads to show that they understood, but after thinking about it, they were still confused, and finally, the ugly brother couldn't help but ask: "Then what does this have to do with our rewards?" ”
Ma Chao's face darkened, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: Brother ugly, you are too unbeautiful and deep, talking to a smart person like Jia Fox is to pretend to be mysterious. You look like you're like you take off your pants and put them on, and you don't have any mood at all...... Although, although I don't know what Dong Zhuo's changes have to do with our reward.
