Chapter 494 Merging the state and meeting talents
When Ma Chao left Shouchun, he went all the way to the northwest, because he suddenly remembered that he had promised his childish uncle when the princes were begging for Dong, saying that he must go to Bingzhou to see him if he has the opportunity. As a result, he never went, isn't it hard to come out now, and it just happened to go to Shangdang County in Bingzhou to see him. Save the next time I see him again, he will probably say that he is not keeping his word.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao went all the way to the northwest. On this day, he finally came to the high capital city of Shangdang County.
Walking until noon, Ma Chao was hungry at this time, so he had to eat when he was hungry, which was inconvenient to walk into a shop on the street.
When the guy in the store saw a customer arriving, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "This guest officer, what do you want to do?" There are spring noodles and ...... here."
The guy said a lot, the store is not big, but there are a lot of things. After all, people in the Han Dynasty rarely eat at noon, so they are either hungry or rich when they eat at noon. The guy knew that this was a business, but as soon as Ma Chao touched the money bag in his arms, he also knew that he was very shy in his pocket now, so he could only come to a bowl of noodles. If you order too much, you can't afford to eat it.
To say that Ma Chao really doesn't have much concept of this money, and this is the first time he has met himself when he is shy. Because when he was preparing to go to Shouchun from Longxian, Ma Chao thought that he had prepared a lot of money. But on the way, he bought two fine horses, and as a result, all the gold in his hand was spent. After that, from Longxian all the way to Shouchun and then from Shouchun to today's Gaodu, he spent all the way, and now he has a money bag left, and it is estimated that there are dozens of dollars left in it.
Ma Chao has always been used to spending money, and when he goes out, he eats and drinks well. Because it's a local tyrant, is there still a shortage of money? But this time I really didn't expect it, I actually made a mistake, although now I am about to reach the eldest son city of the party, but my money bag is about to bottom out. Maybe after this meal, at most two more meals, and then there will be no more money.
Ma Chao frowned slightly, but still said to the guy: "Let's come to a bowl of Yangchun noodles, thank you!" ”
"Okay! A bowl of Yangchun noodles, guest officer, you wait. It's coming soon! ”
The guy said with a smile, but he didn't look down on Ma Chao because he only ordered a bowl of noodles.
Ma Chao looked around, not to mention, there was really a master like himself. However, this one is not too close to him, he is on his left side. But it was facing away from him, and there he was fighting with food with his head down. And after that, Ma Chao didn't pay too much attention to him. At this time, he is just waiting for his own face to come up.
Soon. Ma Chao's Yangchun noodles were brought to the guy, "Guest officer, the noodles are here, you use them slowly!" ”
Ma Chao smiled at the guy, and then began to eat. And the people over there have already found a guy to settle the bill, but Ma Chao is too hungry. So I kept my head down and ate noodles, and I didn't pay attention to others, and the other party left after paying the bill.
And when Ma Chao was about to finish solving this bowl of noodles, the guy brought another bowl of Yangchun noodles. Then he still said politely to Ma Chao: "Guest officer, your face is here, use it slowly!" ”
Ma Chao was stunned when he saw this, and said that he wanted a bowl of noodles, could it be that the shopkeeper said that I couldn't eat enough, and he specially gave me a bowl? How is it possible, not to say that he doesn't know the Dao, even if he does, it can't be so.
So he asked, "What do you mean, man?" I only ordered one bowl of noodles! ”
When the guy heard this, he smiled, "What you said is good, that's right!" However, this bowl of noodles was given to you by the previous guest officer, and the previous guest officer has already paid for the two bowls of noodles! ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he said that he had met a good Samaritan. I usually help others by myself, but today I met someone who helped me, which is interesting. I haven't encountered this in many years, but I didn't expect to encounter it at this time. Now that the world is in turmoil, can you still help yourself like this? It's really not easy, and seeing that the other party is not a rich person, otherwise he wouldn't have invited himself to eat two bowls of noodles. However, although the cost of two bowls of noodles is not very much, Ma Chao is indeed very happy in his heart.
At this time, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said to the guy: "Man, put the noodles here first, and I'll go back when I go!" ”
The guy smiled, "Guest officer, don't worry, you're indispensable!" ”
And Ma Chao had already come to the street at this time, untied the war horse he was tied to the door of the store, he directly got on the horse, and rode the horse to the city gate. Ma Chao had a hunch at this time that the person who invited him to eat noodles before would go out of the city directly after eating. Originally, Ma Chao in the city almost never rode his horse wildly, but today there is really no way, it can only be so. Fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the street at this time, and Ma Chao's equestrianism was not bad, so he rode out of the city.
Sure enough, after leaving the city, not too far, Ma Chao saw the person he had seen in the store before. Although Ma Chao didn't see the front of his person, he could tell from the back whether it was his person or not. After all, he didn't forget it, not to mention how long it had been, so Ma Chao shouted to the people riding in front of him: "Friends in front, stay, stay!" ”
After the people in front heard it, it was really a horse, and it didn't take long for Ma Chao to finally catch up.
This time, Ma Chao finally saw this person clearly, this is a young man, and now Ma Chao calls all those younger than him young people, and it seems that he is a few years younger than himself. And looking at the momentum of his person, it is not difficult to find that he should know some martial arts, although he is not very superb, but he is also a military general. Ma Chao's eyes are generally not wrong to see this, he arched his hand and said: "My friend did a good deed, and left without leaving his name, let me find it!" ”
This person smiled, "When you go out, anyone may have difficulties, but the effort is not enough to worry about!" ”
Ma Chao nodded slightly, "Friend, please come with me!" ”
This person was a little embarrassed, Ma Chao smiled and said, "Is there anything important that my friend can't do, or are you afraid of what I will do to my friend?" ”
This person smiled and felt that what Ma Chao said was right, although he and the other party met each other, but no matter how you put it, since the other party has caught up. It means that he still wants to make friends with himself, so this person didn't shirk this time, anyway, he really doesn't have anything too important, so what about following along. He still likes to make friends, so he agreed.
The two of them went back to Gaodu City again, and still came to the small shop, and after Ma Chao finished eating the noodles first, he left with this person.
Ma Chao said to this person: "Let's go out of the city and talk!" ”
"It's good!"
But this person said, "Ah, you came back to eat that bowl of noodles."
After leaving the city. Ma Chao had seen that this person's doubts were coming, and he immediately said: "My friend is wondering why I want to go back to eat noodles, right?" ”
The man smiled and didn't say much, and Ma Chao continued: "First, I'm really hungry, and second. It's also the first time in my life that someone has invited me to eat when I'm shy in my pocket, so I'm going to have to finish it anyway! ”
The man was still smiling. And Ma Chao said this time: "I am supporting the people of Fengmaoling." The surname Ma is super Mengqi, I don't know my friend's surname? ”
When this person heard this, Fufeng Ma Chao Ma Mengqi, and said in his heart that he was the Liangzhou Mu Ma Chao? Ma Chao's reputation is not small, and this person has naturally heard of it, so he is indeed a little surprised. However, he still asked uncertainly: "You are Liangzhou Shepherd Horse Chaoma Mengqi?" ”
Ma Chao smiled, "Aren't I like it?" Or can someone impersonate me? ”
This person shook his head, it really doesn't look like it, Ma Chao also understands. Zhilu said, how can you say that there are state pastors who don't stay in this state and go to other states to go around. Of course, I can't do anything about it, but in the eyes of others, it's different, isn't it just a mess.
Ma Chao took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to this person, who opened it and believed it. Ma Chao is a repetition of the old trick, his paper is printed with the big seal of Liangzhou Mu, only to hear this person say: "Taiyuan Hao Zhao Hao Bodao, I have seen the state pastor!" ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he was happy in his heart, and said that this is still a talent. Isn't Taiyuan Hao Zhao Hao Bodao just a talent, when Zhuge Kongming attacked Chen Cang, Hao Zhao guarded it for more than 20 days, I remember that it seems to be like this. Hao Zhao does have a set of defending the city, which should not be underestimated.
Ma Chao looked unhappy and said: "Why is Bodao so polite, there is no state pastor here now, how old am I to be you, you can call me Brother Meng Qi, what state pastor is not a state pastor, it is too far!" ”
When Hao Zhao heard this, this is not good. After all, there is a difference in identity, so let Hao Zhao do it, it is indeed difficult for him to do it, but Hao Zhao is not an ordinary person after all, since Ma Chao let him do this, he did not shirk again, and said: "Okay, Brother Meng Qi, the younger brother will be up!" ”
Ma Chaoda smiled, "Hahaha, yes, that's right!" Bodao, where are you going now? Can't come from Taiyuan? ”
Hao Zhao shook his head, "No, the junior brother is from Si Li." I originally wanted to go to Jizhou, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Meng Qi here! ”
Ma Chao heard it, "It's so difficult that Bodao wants to go to Jizhou to defect to Yuan Shao, Yuan Yuan didn't succeed?" ”
Hao Zhao nodded, "Yes, that's right!" I don't know Brother Meng Qi, where is this going? ”
Ma Chao also said that he was going to see his friend, Uncle Zhang Yang and Zhang Zhi, but Ma Chao changed his words and said: "Bo Dao, I will say another word today, and I will listen to you!" ”
"Brother Meng Qi, please speak!"
"Bo Dao, that Yuan Shao Yuan is the original person, if you defect to him, you may not be able to make the best use of your talents!"
"This ......"
This is also what Hao Zhao is worried about, although he doesn't think that he has much ability, but he is definitely stronger than ordinary people, if Yuan Shao really can't trust and value himself, then what's the use of taking refuge in him.
"That's it, if Bodao goes to Jizhou here, and then it's really like what I said today, if that's the case, then please have a chance to come to Liangzhou, and we will meet again, do you think it's okay?"
Hao Zhao nodded, he understood what Ma Chao meant, although Ma Chao, the Liangzhou pastor, did not say it explicitly, but the meaning could not be clearer.
"Just according to what Brother Meng Qi said!"
Ma Chao smiled, "If there is really that time, I will definitely treat you to a good meal, and then we won't have to eat noodles!" ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent. (To be continued......)
