After Li Wei was finished with the cane, Ma Chao also went to his big tent to see him, after all, he had been the lord for so many years, and he also knew that he had to be gracious and powerful to his subordinates. And Li Wei was punished, which was inevitable, and as his lord, his subordinates were injured, so he naturally had to come over to take a look.

In Li Wei's big tent, when he was lying on the couch, he saw that his lord was coming, and hurriedly said: "Because I don't know that the lord is coming, please forgive the lord!" ”

Saying that Li Wei was about to get down from the couch to give a gift to Ma Chao, Ma Chao frowned when he saw it, and said in his heart that you Li Weidu is in this situation, and you still want to come down to give me a gift? It's better to save it!

Of course, Ma Chao couldn't let Li Wei come down like this, so he hurriedly came to the couch and held Li Wei down, and said sharply: "Li Wei, I order you to lie on the couch and don't move!" ”

Ma Chao just looked at Li Wei like this, that means, if you dare to move, then it will be easy to do, just give you another twenty military staffs, it is estimated that you will never be able to get up from the couch again.

Li Wei looked at his lord's eyes, he felt cold, his heart was not good, he had to accept a lesson, he had just been finished with a cane, but he didn't want to do it again.

Li Wei smiled bitterly, the expression was as ugly as it was, "Lord, don't dare, don't dare to move!" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he backhanded, and then said to him: "Li Wei, you should understand, in fact, today's punishment for you is unavoidable, because I have to use you to establish power!" But you have suffered, but I do want to thank you!! ”

Ma Chao didn't think there was anything wrong with telling the truth, this was not a confidential thing, so he felt that there was nothing to hide about it. As for Li Wei, he can only say that he should be unlucky, there is no way. And even if today's matter is changed to anyone, he has to let Ma Chao beat him up to finish it. But Ma Chao thinks it's actually quite interesting, you see, Li Wei, Liwei, these two words still sound the same, isn't this the will of God?

Of course, Li Wei had already known his lord's thoughts, but at this time, he was most pleased that his lord could be so honest with his subordinates. In his original idea, his lord came to the big tent to see himself, and then said something that he didn't want to punish you, but there was really no way, military law is like a mountain or something. But I didn't expect my lord to say his original intention when he came up, that is, punishing himself was actually just to establish his authority, and this is the most fundamental intention. Li Wei thinks it's good to have such a lord who is more honest with his subordinates, and as a subordinate, he is also very relieved.

In fact, he can also understand Ma Chao's approach, although his lord has led the Liangzhou army for many years, and the lord has military power, which is good, but the Liangzhou army is not his lord's private army, it is still the army of the Han court after all. Therefore, the lord must be thinking about how to turn the army of this court into his own private soldiers, and in the end, he is only loyal to himself, rather than loyal to the Han Dynasty, then this should be what his lord wants.

This is in Ma Chao's place, he does have such an idea, after all, the difference between this soldier in the sense of the court and his own private soldier is still very big. is still the same sentence, the soldiers of the imperial court, even if they are now the state ministers, have been with them for many years, but if they want to rebel now, then they will inevitably not follow them. But if you are your own private soldier, then as long as you give an order, almost everyone will follow you, and this is the biggest difference.

Of course, Ma Chao didn't mean that he would have to let the Liangzhou Army turn into his own private soldiers immediately, and he also knew that it was impossible. And this matter actually still takes time, Ma Chao thinks so. In addition to time, he feels that the most important thing is what he accumulates bit by bit in his daily life. In fact, it doesn't have to be how brave you are, how brave you are to win the three armies, it doesn't have to be like that. And the most important thing is to let the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army really identify with themselves and identify with themselves from the heart out. Until he became their lord, and the court let them leave it behind, he was considered a success.

And now Ma Chao's private soldiers, in addition to the 5,000 people and horses led by Pang De in Longxi, only the people and horses of Guanhai Cottage are different from Pound's part, and Pound's 5,000 people can be said to be his own private soldiers in the real sense. And the people in Guanhai Cottage can not be completely said to be their own private soldiers, after all, everyone knows that Lu Dao has such a lord as himself, but when the time comes, he will take them away, and they will never follow him, and only by following him can he be regarded as a real private soldier.

When Li Wei heard this, his lord also thanked him, and he hurriedly said: "The lord's words are serious, and I want to talk about it, so I want to thank the lord!" In order to listen to what the soldiers said, the lord asked everyone to stay here to rest first, for this, thank you lord!! ”

In Li Wei's opinion, since his lord let the army be stationed here, it means that he wants to let himself recuperate, after all, he has suffered a little flesh injury, so he can't ride a horse for the time being. The lord can think about his subordinates, and of course this Li Wei is grateful to his lord.

In fact, Ma Chao does have such a meaning, but it doesn't mean that it's just because he is a person. After all, this didn't just have a battle with Burning Dangqiang, so Ma Chao felt that it was necessary to let the army rest here first, and then it was not too late to enter the army. Because now all these favorable situations are on their side, but not on the side of Dangqiang. So in Ma Chao's opinion, Dangqiang's side should definitely be much more anxious than his own side.

Ma Chao smiled, "This matter is actually not entirely because of you, but Li Wei, you just need to recuperate." And don't worry about anything else for the time being, your first task now is to heal your injuries, or how will you take revenge? ”

As soon as he heard the word revenge, Li Wei's eyes immediately widened, and he was particularly sensitive to these two words. Don't say it's him Li Wei, in fact, the other seventeen of the eighteen sons are the same as Li Wei, they are all so sensitive.

"What the lord said is very true, for the sake of saving!!"

Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, that's right!" The so-called body is the capital of all actions, so if you don't take care of your body, it must not work!! ”

Li Wei's eyes lit up after hearing this, "What the lord said is very incisive, because he admires it, admires it to the end!" ”

Ma Chao originally wanted to say that "the body is the capital of leather/life", but when he thought about it, how could there be the word leather/life at this time, so if he really said it, he would have to work hard to explain it, so Ma Chao thought about it for a while and changed the word. And now Ma Chao, it can be said that he has trained his face to the peak, so whatever Li Wei says, he also accepts it calmly, as if this is really his original. In fact, Ma Chao also has his own defense, although the words are not original by himself, but they are also adapted by himself, so at least half of them should be counted on his own head.

But Li Wei didn't know anything, so he thought that his lord was so good. Indeed, Ma Chao is also very good, at least Li Wei's face is not as thick as his, there is no doubt about this.

At this time, Ma Chao has finished speaking, and there is no need for him to stay here longer in Li Wei. After all, Li Wei suffered a little flesh injury, so he had to recuperate at this time.

"Okay, Li Wei, I won't stay here for long, you can take care of your injuries!"

Li Wei also knew that his lord was about to leave, so he had to say: "Because I can't send my lord in person, I can only send my lord here!" ”

Ma Chao said to him, "Okay, it's useless to talk about it, if you don't take care of your injuries, then I will send troops to Xiqiang tomorrow!" ”

Li Wei shrank his neck when he heard this, and said in his heart, "My lord, your subordinate's injury is not healed yet, so it is not appropriate to move again."

Ma Chao saw that Li Wei was honest, so he walked out of the big tent with a smile......

Miji, the leader of Burning Dangqiang, has been in a particularly unhappy mood recently, yes, just unhappy, or very unhappy.

It is because of the Liangzhou herding horse of the Han Dynasty and the super horse Mengqi took the Liangzhou army to deal with the burning of Dangqiang, if it is said that it was the previous burning of Dangqiang, not to mention that he Ma Mengqi only brought a mere 30,000 horses, even if it is more than 100,000 horses, and 300,000 more people and horses, Burning Dangqiang is still not afraid of coming, and he has never been afraid of the Han people at all. But that's just the past, but now you look at the burning Dangqiang, it's already down, the Han people have a saying about it, isn't it good to say, what is called "the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as the chicken", isn't that what today's burning Dangqiang looks like.

Originally, as the leader of the Burning Qiang before, he deliberately sent a few capable men to ask for help from other Qiang tribes, but the result was that the closest Xian Lingqiang from his side did not give him any help, so let alone the few who had not brought back the letter now. Xian Lingqiang didn't give any help, it was an excuse that their leader was seriously ill, after all, it was the leader who had to make up his mind in such a big matter.

Phew, the leader is still seriously ill, who doesn't know the way, just last month, didn't he have an extra son, but now he is seriously ill, doesn't this lie to the child. He didn't send troops to help him first, it was just that he didn't want to be an enemy of Ma Chao like this, and he didn't want to be an enemy of the Han Dynasty, but for them, in fact, there were not enough benefits.

Miji is quite clear about this. But at this time, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, thinking that when he was brilliant in the past, how could there have been such a thing, not to mention begging them one by one, didn't they all hold the goods of burning Dangqiang's thighs, but now, alas, the words of the Han people are not bad at all, it is really "ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi"!
