"General Zhang, sit down!" Ma Chao said.

After Zhang Ren thanked him, he sat down.

And of course he knows that this Ma Mengqi is looking for himself now, there must be something wrong, or else do you still need this. not only arranged for himself to go from Chengdu to Longxian first, but also met the previous lord Liu Jiyu. Then I let myself come to Chang'an, saying that there is nothing to do, who will believe it. That's why Zhang Ren asked this question before, I don't know if Ma Chao has something to ask him to do.

Although Zhang Ren is indeed still unconvinced now and does not want to worship Ma Chao as the master, it does not prevent him from doing things under Ma Chao's account, after all, although Zhang Ren once said that he wanted to return to the mountains and forests, but later, it was obvious that he was like this at all. No matter what the reason is, anyway, Zhang Ren didn't go into hiding, which is not wrong at all.

As for now, Zhang Ren has indeed failed to convince Ma Chao, but he is not impossible to do something for Ma Chao. After all, Ma Chao captured him, didn't kill him, and put his former lord in Longxian, and now he lives well. For Zhang Ren, he really owes Ma Chao a big favor. And what debt is the most difficult to repay is this favor debt, so from Zhang Ren's point of view, doing things for him Ma Mengqi should be regarded as repaying his favors.

After seeing Zhang Ren sit down, Ma Chao asked: "General Zhang is a student of Tong Shi, so Wuwei Zhang Xiu, I think General Zhang must be quite familiar?" ”

When Zhang Ren heard it, he said that this is still related to Zhang Xiu? Could it be that Ma Meng wants him to ......

thought of this possibility, but Zhang Ren smiled bitterly in his heart, is this matter suitable for him?

"Yes, Zai Xia, Zhang Xiu and Zilong are indeed all under the teacher Tong. And Zhang Xiu is our senior brother, when he was learning art from the teacher, he did have contact with him, and there were several faces. It's just that although the senior brother is good, they are really not too familiar with each other. ”

Zhang Ren is really telling the truth, don't look at him and Zhang Xiu are both brothers from Tong Yuan, and they have met a few times at the beginning, but to be honest, the two of them are really not particularly familiar. If you talk about it, Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun are already very familiar, but they are far from that point with Zhang Xiu.

Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, although he also knew that Zhang Ren's words were true, but for him. Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu have the same friendship, but no one can change this. Although Zhao Yun is also Tong Yuan's disciple, he is not as good as Zhang Ren, at least Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu have met a few times, and they are much more familiar with Zhao Yun. So Ma Chaozhi said. If you want Zhao Yun to go, it is better to let Zhang Ren go. Even if Zhang Ren still hasn't recognized himself as the lord. But this one doesn't matter. The important thing is that Zhang Ren will definitely go.

"There is something today, please ask General Zhang to help!"

Zhang Ren listened, okay, it's finally here. What's there, I'm next.

"Governor, please. As long as you are doing your best, you must do your best! ”

I only heard Ma Chao say, "Okay, since General Zhang and Wuwei Zhang Xiu have the same friendship." And there were still a few fates at the beginning, so I hope that the general can go to Nanyang in person to help our army persuade Zhang Xiu, so that he can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and serve our army! ”

Zhang Ren said in his heart when he heard this, it was really this! It's exactly the same as he expected, he Ma Mengqi just let himself go to Nanyang to be a lobbyist, but this lobbyist seems to be no one more suitable than himself. Although Zilong is also Zhang Xiu's junior brother, he is not as familiar with himself as Zhang Xiu, after all, he has seen his senior brother a few times back then, but Zilong, at least at the teacher's place, he has never seen him.

Zhang Ren stood up, "State Mu, if this is the case, then I will agree to come down!" It's just that it's just that this is the most successful or not, or two words, so if it can't be successful, I hope the state pastor will forgive me! ”

Ma Chao laughed when he heard this, "General Zhang can rest assured, as for the result, it is not too important, and the general doesn't have to take it to heart!" ”

Zhang Ren smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart, isn't it too important? Really, anyway, I must do my best, and as for the final result, it's not up to me to decide. He has always been worthy of doing things by himself, he tried his best, and he failed to succeed in the end, so he Ma Mengqi can't treat himself as worthy of him.

Zhang Ren nodded, while Ma Chao continued: "Zilong will go to Nanyang with the general, I want to have you two brothers and sisters, go to Nanyang here, and you will definitely succeed!" ”

Zhang Renxin said, I hope so. But I'm definitely not a lobbyist.,I really don't know what the state pastor of Lu Dao, the hussar general thinks today.,It's unpredictable-

In fact, what Ma Chao thought was quite simple, that is, let Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun persuade Zhang Xiu. Of course, Zhang Ren is the main one, supplemented by Zhao Yun. As for how Zhang Ren will persuade Zhang Xiu at that time, then it is not what he has to think about. It's just that I know that first, Zhang Xiu should be an understanding person. He knew that with his more than 10,000 horses, he was definitely not Cao Cao's opponent, so he could only take refuge in one of the princes, and who to turn to was the biggest and most troublesome problem.

First of all, Yuan Shao and Yuan Ben must have been unable to do it at the beginning, because Zhang Xiu was the prince he wanted to take refuge in, and he was sure that the range of his power was bordering Nanyang County. So Yuan Shao must have been the first to rule out, then there are three and a half left, the first is Ma Chao in the northwest and west of Nanyang, Nanyang is bordered by Sili in the northwest, and Hanzhong County in Yizhou is in the west, which is Ma Chao's territory, so Ma Chao should actually be regarded as Zhang Xiu's first choice.

The second is Cao Cao in the east, because Nanyang to the east, that is the boundary of Yuzhou, which is Yingchuan County and Runan County, so Cao Cao will also be one of the candidates for Zhang Xiu to take refuge.

The third is Liu Biao, after all, Jingzhou Mu is Liu Biao, and Nanyang is originally Liu Biao, so Liu Biao is actually one.

The last half of the Lu is actually Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, although Nanyang County and Yangzhou are not next to each other, but they are indeed not far from each other, it can be said that they are very close.

Of course, this oneself, in fact, in Ma Chao's view, if Zhang Xiu wants to take refuge, he can only choose one of himself and Cao Cao, and will definitely not choose Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

Liu Biao still needs to say that his uncle Zhang Ji died in the hands of the Jingzhou army. So Zhang Xiu hasn't even avenged revenge now, can he still take refuge in Liu Biao? That's simply not possible.

As for Yuan Shu, basically everyone with long eyes can see that Yuan Shu is not far from the day when he will perish. So if anyone can still take refuge in him at this time, then they are just like him, they are all stupid ×.

Therefore, Ma Chao felt that since this was the case, then himself, Cao Cao, and Zhang Xiu might all take refuge. It's just that his own chance is definitely bigger than Cao Cao's.

That's because he has an advantage over Cao Cao, first, is the overall strength, Ma Chao believes that Zhang Xiu can see who is stronger in the overall strength now. If you look at it on the surface, it seems that you and Cao Cao may be similar, but in fact, it is not. Now he is in Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Sili. Cao Cao, on the other hand, occupied Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou.

It looks like it's pretty much the same, but it's not. The places occupied by Cao Cao, except for Yuzhou, were all places that had suffered from war in the last two or three years. And Yuzhou, as early as the Yellow Turban, was already destroyed.

Si Li on his side is also, he has suffered from the baptism of war in the past two years, but Liangzhou and Yizhou are not, the battle of Yizhou has been several years, and as for Liangzhou, it has been a long time since there has been a war and gunpowder, it can be said that it is a very peaceful place.

And Cao Cao's money and food in his hands are indeed worse than his own, so his overall strength is still stronger than Cao Cao.

Therefore, Ma Chao thinks that if Zhang Xiu is a smart person, then he will definitely be able to know these things.

As for the second, that is, Zhang Xiujun and Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army had a big holiday. At that time, he didn't surrender to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao made an old mistake and wanted to accept his aunt, that is, Zhang Ji's wife, as a concubine, so Zhang Xiu was angry and led troops to raid Cao Cao's Yanzhou army camp, and Cao Cao was defeated. This time the festival between the two sides was concluded, and Cao Cao's nephew died in Nanyang,

Even if Zhang Xiu knew that if he took refuge in Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not care about this. But now it doesn't mean that he only has Cao Cao's choice. Because Ma Chao knows how to say, he is also a choice for Zhang Xiu. His aunt's death was actually because of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's nephew also died in Nanyang. Then Zhang Xiu will definitely have some concerns, and the possibility of taking refuge in himself will increase again, this is Ma Chao's idea.

Therefore, Ma Chao felt that he had such two advantages, as long as he let Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun go over before Cao Cao sent lobbyists, it was estimated that this matter would be done. At least he didn't have much of a holiday with him Zhang Xiu, if you want to say that there is, it can only be that when you were in Sili and Zhan Hongnong, you consumed food and forced Zhang Xiu away. And for the rest, that's nothing.

In fact, Ma Chaozhi said that he still has an advantage, that is, Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun. Ma Chao felt that Zhang Xiu should still be such a person with a lot of feelings, and now he has no relatives, only his wife and children, so for these two junior brothers, Zhang Xiu's senses must be very good. After all, whether they are familiar or not, at least the three of them are brothers under Tong Yuan's sect, so there are some feelings in it, after all, there is only one teacher.

In this way, Ma Chao decided to let Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun rush to Nanyang to persuade Zhang Xiu. (To be continued......)
