Cao Ang wants to please others, but they don't see it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ma Yunlu was indifferent, ignoring Cao Ang's eyes, and still had the attitude of ignoring him, which made Cao Ang a little unhappy, but he could only withdraw his gaze stupidly.

"Well, when I heard you say this, I am relieved, it seems that this battle will be successful." Cao Cao smiled, stroked his short beard, and his emotions were completely relaxed.

In the lobby, the tense atmosphere has also relaxed.

At this time, Cao Cao looked at Ma Yunlu with a smile again, "Yunlu, if your brother Meng Qi can defeat the pottery thief this time and recapture Pubanjin for me, it will be equivalent to a great achievement for me and Daqin, and I will definitely reward him and your Ma clan, you tell me, what reward you want." ”

Cao Cao was able to say such things in front of the ministers, obviously wanting to show his favor to the Ma family, and this kind of treatment made all the ministers in the hall secretly envious.

Ma Yunlu just arched his hand, and said lightly: "As a minister of the Great Qin, it is within my duty to contribute to the country, and even if this battle is won, it is my eldest brother who won, Yunlu did not participate, there is no inch of merit, I dare not ask for a reward, Your Majesty wants to reward, only reward my eldest brother." ”

Ma Yunlu's attitude was cold, and he didn't appreciate it, and Cao Cao quietly passed a trace of displeasure in his eyebrows.

However, the displeasure was only fleeting, Cao Cao did not show a trace, but smiled and said: "Yunlu, you are not greedy for merit, you don't want to reward, this is very good, you are worthy of being the daughter-in-law I have chosen." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao pretended to groan for a while, and said with a smile: "You don't want to reward your humble character, but your brother has made great contributions, and as the king of a country, I will reward your brother and your Ma family, and it is also my love for my courtiers." In this way, after Meng Qi's battle, I will reward you and Ang'er for marrying in the army, what do you think? ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Ang suddenly looked overjoyed, and he was busy with his hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your father's favor." ”

Ma Yunlu's appearance is stunning, such a beautiful wife, in exchange for any man who doesn't want to use it, Cao Ang has long wished that he could hug the beauty and enjoy Ma Yunlu's beauty and body, now Cao Cao said that he would let them get married in advance, and it is strange that Cao Ang is not excited and grateful.

What's more, the Ma clan has a decisive force in Great Qin, and if Cao Ang can marry Ma Yunlu, it will be equivalent to indirectly gaining the support of the Ma clan.

And at present, Cao Cao has not yet established the crown prince, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is hesitating whether to make his eldest son Cao Ang the crown prince or his second son Cao Pi as the crown prince.

Now, if Cao Ang has the support of the Ma family, he will undoubtedly add a decisive and even decisive bargaining chip to the competition for the crown prince.

Therefore, considering from all aspects, Cao Ang couldn't wait to marry Ma Yunlu as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Ma Yunlu was not the slightest surprise, but his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Didn't Your Majesty say that we will arrange our marriage after the invasion of the Wei army has been completely repelled, why do you suddenly have to advance it?" ”

Cao Ang's brows suddenly frowned, his expression was a little dissatisfied, he thought that Ma Yunlu would be as surprised as him when he heard that he could get married in advance, even if it was because of his daughter's reserve, if he was embarrassed to show it, he should be shy.

He didn't expect that Ma Yunlu was not surprised at all, and he seemed to be very reluctant to listen to the "questioning" tone.

Cao Cao was on the rise, but he didn't care about Ma Yunlu's attitude, and only explained with a smile: "I originally planned to hold a big wedding for you after defeating the Wei thief, but looking at the current situation, even if the pottery thief is driven out of Pubanjin, I don't know how long this war will last." ”

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "So I want to take advantage of Meng Qi's great victory to hold a marriage for you in the army, so as to treat the soldiers of the three armies well, and it can also encourage the soldiers and relax the body and mind of the soldiers. ”

"But Your Majesty, Yun Lu ...... Yunlu ...... "Ma Yunlu seems to want to object, but there is no suitable reason, and he doesn't know how to export."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I know that you are a daughter's family, and it is inevitable that I will be a little embarrassed to bring up such a thing as marriage in front of you, but this is an extraordinary time, and I can't care so much, so let's do it." ”

Cao Cao is the king of a country, so he naturally does what he says, and if Ma Yunlu dares to disagree, it is tantamount to disrespecting the decree.

In desperation, Ma Yunlu could only close his cherry mouth and secretly bit his lips, not daring to raise any more objections.

Cao Ang, who was next to him, saw that Ma Yunlu no longer had any opinions, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression turned from cloudy to sunny in a blink of an eye.

The civil and military ministers on the left and right stepped forward to congratulate Cao Ang, Cao Ang was smiling, and the laughter echoed in the lobby.

Cao Cao, who returned to the dragon seat, looked at the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in front of the hall, and his heart was also a lot relieved, and he couldn't help laughing.

In a pleasant atmosphere, a royal forest sergeant hurriedly entered, knelt down in front of the steps with a panicked expression, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the north, the day before yesterday, General Ma and the pottery thief fought a decisive battle in the southwest of Pubanjin, and the pottery thief was defeated, losing more than half of the troops, and was retreating to Tongguan." ”

In the lobby, there was silence for a moment.

From Cao Cao to Cao Ang, from Cao Ang to Fa Zheng, up to the emperor, down to the soldiers, everyone's expressions were frozen in horror for a moment.

Ma Chao was defeated?

Moreover, it was a fiasco!

How is this possible, that is the Ma family iron horse, the world's unique iron horse, a combination of super attack and defense, it can be said to be a rock-solid, indestructible existence.

Such an almost undefeated army of iron cavalry was defeated by the potters, and it only took 20,000 steps to ride.

This news was so sensational that the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were stunned for a while, and suddenly thought that their ears had an illusion and they had heard it wrong.

"Nonsense, my eldest brother's iron horse is invincible in the world, how can he lose to the pottery thief!" Ma Yunlu, who was also shocked, immediately asked angrily.

"How dare the little one lie, the military report is here." The sergeant of the Royal Forest was busy writing the battle report and offering it with both hands.

Liu Ye, who was in charge of intelligence, hurriedly snatched it over and read it out in public.

Liu Ye explained word by word how Ma Chao fought a decisive battle with the potters in the snowfield, and how he was deceived by the potters, induced Ma Chao to pursue, and finally broke Ma Chao's tortoiseshell formation with a ballista.

In addition, the intelligence also recorded in detail how Ma Chao and Pang De and other three generals almost killed the potter, but was killed halfway, a nameless man named Yu Chigong, who single-handedly defeated Ma Chao and saved the potter.

In the lobby, there was an uproar, and the sound of sighs and regret resounded in the lobby.

"It's hateful, I actually forgot to remind Meng Qi that the pottery thief has a crossbow and other sharp weapons, and even the big shield of the tortoiseshell array can't stop it, hateful, why didn't I think of it......" Cao Cao slapped the case hard, angry and regretful.

Obviously, these Qin monarchs and ministers, after so many years, have forgotten how the potters were able to hit them hard with their ballistas when they were still weak.

After so many years, apart from the fact that the potters used the ballista during the southern expedition, they rarely used the ballista in the northern war, which also made them negligent.

Cao Cao and his subordinates never expected that at this critical moment, the Tao Chamber of Commerce would use the ballista again to break Ma Chao's tortoiseshell cavalry in a decisive battle.

"What is that ballista, I don't believe it can break my eldest brother's three-layer shield!" Ma Yunluqiao's face was full of doubts and disbelief.

At this time, Dian Wei, who had experienced the events of the year, shook his head and sighed: "Miss Ma doesn't know, the crossbow of the pottery thief is made of all copper, which is extremely powerful, I am afraid that 20,000 Ma Jiajian shields can also penetrate, when we were in the Central Plains, we suffered the loss of his ballista, I didn't expect this kid to use it again at this time." ”

Ma Yunlu was speechless at this moment, his cold face surged with disbelief, Sakura's breathing became heavier, and he muttered: "In this world, there is a weapon that can penetrate my Ma family's iron horse shield, this pottery thief, how can he ......?"

Even Ma Yunlu, who was full of confidence in his Ma Jiajun and convinced of his brother's strength, had to accept this cruel fact at this moment, and the whole person fell into unbelievable things.

"Who is that Wei Chi Gong, who can actually block the attack of the three generals of Meng Qi, this kind of martial arts has simply surpassed Lu Bu, there are some strange people in the world, how can I know nothing!?" Cao Cao slammed his fist on the desk and asked sharply.

When the ministers on the left and right mentioned this, they were amazed again, and their faces were full of incredible expressions, and in a moment, the image of the name Wei Chigong in their minds was already like a devil.

Liu Ye sighed: "This Wei Chi Gong is not an ancient celebrity, it should not be a military general promoted in the martial arts hall of the pottery merchant, the minister thinks that he should be the same as Na Luo Cheng, with immortal martial arts, but he is just unknown, and he doesn't want to jump out to help the pottery thief at such a critical time, and the luck of the pottery thief is really good." ”

Liu Ye's words not only failed to calm the suspicions in the hearts of the generals, but also dealt a heavy blow to their spirits.

In the minds of many people, there was a moment when such a thought burst out:

Could it be that the potter is really destiny?

We assisted Emperor Qin and fought against the pottery merchants, are we really going against the sky?

Otherwise, if the potter is not the destiny of heaven, why are there so many strange people who jump out one after another to join the potter and work for the potter?

Could it be that those strange people are all fools, and they can't see who is the real master of destiny?

In amazement and contemplation, Fa Zheng stood up and said silently: "Your Majesty, Meng Qi has been defeated, the fall of Pubanjin is a foregone conclusion, and it is meaningless to defend Tongguan any longer, so let's retreat to Chang'an quickly." ”
