Chapter 259: A Chance Encounter on the March
Ma Chao led the army to Xiqiang, and the eighteen sons who led the way for the army at the front were them. After all, the eighteen sons can be said to know a lot about burning Dangqiang, so it is just right to let them lead the way. Although Ma Chao doesn't necessarily have to use someone to lead the way, but after seeing Li Wei's previous self-volunteering for them, Ma Chao, as the main father, is not good at dampening their enthusiasm.
Along the way, every time he went to a place, Ma Chao asked the scouts to go to the Taishou Mansion in various places to inform him with his own assassination order, so no one dared to stop Ma Chao at all. After all, it is impossible for anyone to dare to stop the army of Liangzhou Mu without having enough to eat, unless they really want to die, there is no way, or if they don't die, they don't know how Lu Dao died.
In fact, even if there is no Ma Chao's assassination order, no one dares to stop it, after all, the officials who have been mixed in Liangzhou for many years, no, even if they have been mixed for a few months, they know that in Liangzhou, who dares to fight the banner of the Liangzhou army? If you take a look at the 30,000 people brought by Ma Chao, you will know that there is a Liangzi banner at the front, and this is the banner of the Liangzhou Army. It can be said that over the years, except for Geng's defeat to Han Sui at the beginning, the Liangzhou army has really never been so cowardly.
Not to mention that in Liangzhou, people are terrified when they see this banner, but it is indeed about the same. Next to the Liangzi banner is Ma Chao's horse-shaped handsome flag, and there are Zhang and Wu'an behind. As for the eighteen sons, it is more interesting, because they are also playing the banner of the pole Liangzi, but the difference with the Liangzhou Army is that they still have two big characters under the Liangzi, that is, the eighteen, after all, this is exactly the same is not very good.
Although no one dared to stop Ma Chao's army, there were also those officials who wanted to curry favor with Ma Chao when he led the army to station. And Ma Chao has been an official for many years, so he understands this very well in his heart, and of course he will not drive them out, after all, "officials don't give gifts", this is all the rules of the rivers and lakes. And if you want to say that these people also know that it is impossible for him to accept anything to give Ma Chao this Liangzhou pastor, but he has to leave a bad impression on the state pastor. So they are all cunning and cunning, all of them are in the name of the labor army, and they all sent some grain, grass and sheep to Ma Chao's army.
Ma Chao can only accept this, after all, these things are not their official things. Even if they don't accept it, they will have to fall into their own pockets in the end, so Ma Chao can be regarded as a person who does not refuse. No matter how small this mosquito is, it is still meat, so more food and grass is better than less.
Then the rules of the rivers and lakes, Ma Chao symbolically encouraged the people who came, praised a few words, and said that he would speak well for everyone in front of His Majesty in the future, and every time the people who came listened to it, they were happy to go. Ma Chao is not only a Liangzhou pastor, but also a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he also has a very close relationship with Zhang Rang, the tenth permanent servant, and the general He Jin, and almost all the officials in Liangzhou know these things. Because for most of the officials in Liangzhou, you can not know how many people are under the rule of Lu Dao, and you can not know who the subordinates under Lu Dao are, but you can't only not know who the Liangzhou pastor of Lu Dao is, and you can't know the intricate interpersonal relationships of the officialdom of Lu Dao. If you really offend Ma Chao one day, then the consequences are very serious, and it is simply unimaginable.
And although it is true that the current emperor Liu Hong is seriously ill, Zhang Rang and He Jin are still alive and well, and the power is still monstrous, who doesn't know what to do. What's more, if Liu Hongzhen dies, then the only one who succeeds him will be the prince or the prince's association. And Liu Wei needless to say, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi are his teachers, so if Liu Wei succeeds to the throne, can he treat others badly. As for Liu Xie, if Liu Hong really lets Liu Xie succeed to the throne, then Ma Chao, who is a celebrity in front of Liu Hong, will definitely give Ma Chao a heavy responsibility, so Ma Chao must still be in power, and no one can shake it.
What's more, everyone is here in Liangzhou, and everyone has heard that Liangzhou Shepherd and Super Horse Meng Qi are ruthless, and the Liangzhou army is extremely strong. No one has as many soldiers under his command, let alone as strong combat power as others. So I can only hug Zhou Mu's thighs, in case I can get married, maybe my career will be smooth sailing in the future.
It can be said that some officials in Liangzhou have really good abacus, but can Ma Chao let them get their wish. Everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts, they want to use Ma Chao, but Ma Chao doesn't want to use them, it's nothing more than each other.
On this day, Ma Chao led his troops to the boundary of Jincheng, and it was quite late, so he ordered the army to choose a place to be stationed. Anyway, this is also a place where "there is no village in front of you, and there is no store in the back", so naturally after choosing the safest place, the army will set up camp here.
After the army set up camp, Ma Chao asked everyone to bury the pot and cook, not to be too economical, just let everyone eat enough. At this time, it was already night, so everyone had to eat well, and there were also the grain, grass and sheep of the officials and soldiers from various places before, which was enough for the army to eat for some time.
Just when Ma Chao was eating with Zhang Fei, Wu Anguo and the eighteen sons, he came to Ma to report, "Report to the state pastor, find an unknown person not far ahead?" ”
"Oh? How many people are on the other side? What are the characteristics? ”
Ma Chao became interested as soon as he heard it, unknown person, it's a bit interesting to say this, and it's the first time I've found an unknown person for so long. Ma Chao took an army of 30,000 and asked the eighteenth son to lead the way to burn Dangqiang's territory, he walked not the nearest road, but a relatively remote road, after all, with an army of 30,000, and there were a lot of cavalry. If the people can walk, then it will disturb the people, so Ma Chao didn't do it. But even in such a remote place, I still found an unknown person, so this can not be said to be interesting?
What is an unknown person, if it is just an ordinary person, Tanma will never report himself like this, so this unknown person should not be an ordinary person.
"Back to Zhoumu, there are only two people on the other side, and they are both riding horses. However, it was too dark, so the two of them really couldn't see clearly from a distance, but judging from the experience below, the other party should be two warriors!! ”
Ma Chao said in his heart when he heard this, this is right, if ordinary people visit horses, it is impossible to report like this. Don't look at the two of them, but Tanma thinks that the other party is a martial artist, although no one thinks that two people can bring any threat to the 30,000 army, but Ma Chao's teaching to the Liangzhou army has always been careful, so the Tanma scout definitely does not dare to slack off on this.
"Okay, you keep investigating!"
"No!"
Ma Chao also knew that it was impossible for him to be the only one who was on his side, at least one of them was watching the unknown person there, paying attention to the other party's movements, and then one came back to report the news.
At this time, everyone had finished eating, and Ma Chao said to everyone: "Everyone, are you interested in meeting these two unknown people with me?" ”
Zhang Fei said loudly when he heard this: "Lord, aren't they just two people, you still need to go and see them in person, see if I go and catch them in the big tent!" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Fei picked up the Zhangba Snake Spear and was about to go out of the country to capture the two of them.
Ma Chao frowned when he saw it, and said in his heart Zhang Fei is still young like this, you don't know who the other party is, so you dare to say that you will arrest it. It's true that you Zhang Fei did have two hits, but you haven't reached the point where you are invincible in the world.
"Yide, come back!!"
Four words, Zhang Fei immediately froze, but he asked a little puzzled: "Why didn't the lord let me go?" ”
Ma Chao shook his head slowly, "We still don't know who the other party is, how can we make a decision so rashly?" If the other party is just a passer-by, will you also go and arrest it? Or if the other party is prepared, you Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide will definitely be able to capture the two alive? ”
As soon as Zhang Fei heard Ma Chao say this, he stopped talking, and of course he didn't go, because his lord was right. If it were the people, would they be able to capture it themselves? But if it's a villain, but if the other party's martial arts are higher than his own, then I don't know who will capture whom?
In fact, Ma Chao didn't have much curiosity, but he felt that this matter was a bit strange, and he had to be careful. These eighteen sons have been able to lead this road, and their army has been walking for nearly a day, but they really haven't seen a single person. But I didn't expect that at this time, at night, I actually met two at once, although Ma Chao didn't think that two people could pose a big threat to his 30,000 army, but he still had to guard against it, after all, it was "be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years".
"Guys, come with me to meet the two of you!"
"No!" "No!" "No!"
These three voices were spoken by Zhang Fei, Wu Anguo and Li Wei. Ma Chao thought of this, and the three of them had actually thought of this at this time, otherwise who didn't have to worry about this, it would be better to rest in the big tent when there was time.
Immediately, Ma Chao took Zhang Fei and them to the front of the army's garrison, and the place where Ma Chao chose to be stationed was also very good. Because the width of this place is limited, it is so big, and Ma Chao almost blocked the road with the army. Therefore, whether the two of them want to be disadvantageous to themselves or just pass by, they must appear in front of their own camp, so Ma Chao and they are ready to wait for the rabbit before the camp.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two people mentioned by Tanma to come to Ma Chao and the others, obviously the other party also saw that there was someone blocking in front of them, so they had to stop at this time.
After the two stopped at the horse, they looked at Ma Chao and the others, and Ma Chao also looked at each other. Ma Chao felt that the person led by the other party looked familiar at this time, and this feeling was not the first time, the first time he saw Zhu Wolf and the first time he saw Pang De, he felt this way. It's that the other party has never seen it himself, but it is likely that he has seen some of the other party's relatives. But with Ma Chao's memory, he couldn't think of it for a while, which means that the other party's relatives are definitely not people he is particularly familiar with, but if he has seen it, he has definitely seen it.
It should be friend or foe, "Who are you?" "Who are you?"
Ma Chao and the person led by the other party asked invariably, Ma Chao is the lord, so of course he spoke first in major matters, and the other party's side was obviously the leader, so naturally he spoke first.
As a result, after saying this, Ma Chao and the other party both laughed, and Zhang Fei also smiled. It's a boring day, so it's a bit of a fun time. But when Ma Chao saw the other party smiling like this, he finally knew who the other party might be, because could there be anyone else besides him. It's just that I didn't expect to meet him in this place.
--------------------------------------------------
This chapter is foreshadowing, because it is intended to lead to the man who is the leader. Of course, who is this person, you can think about it, this shouldn't be a difficult problem, anyway, I personally don't think it's difficult. By the way, aren't they two people, isn't there another one behind them, and who is that person? It's not difficult. You can give a little hint, Liangzhou people, if you talk too much, it will be equivalent to telling everyone, it's not difficult.
