Chapter 417 The old man of Jia Mengguan defected
"Ding Ding Ding Ding...... Dingdingding......"
Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and the Liangzhou Army's key soldiers retreated, and this time, although it ended in the failure of the Liangzhou Army's key soldiers, Ma Chao let him see the hope of breaking through the barrier today, so he was actually very pleased.
If you want to talk about your own Liangzhou army, it is indeed for the Liangzhou soldiers to spend a lot of money, doesn't this play a role now. What is the so-called troubled times, isn't it strength, what is the strength, that is, there is more money and food, and there are more soldiers and generals, nothing more than that. And Ma Chao feels that his strength is not small, although now he doesn't dare to say that he is the strongest, but how can he be one of the strongest in Dahan, it's not boasting, but Ma Chao still has this confidence.
Because he now has enough money and food, and his troops are not small, and his subordinate soldiers are not a few, so he should be able to be able to be assigned to the number in the world. In fact, in Ma Chao's eyes, there are only three or four people in the world who are really threatened. Although Ma Chao will not despise others, he will not pay special attention to it-
At this time, Wu Anguo came to the front of his lord, half-knelt down and pleaded: "My subordinates failed to win, lose the face of my Liangzhou army, and ask the lord to punish his subordinates!" ”
Wu Anguo and Ma Dai still have some differences, and that's it. If Ma Dai also climbed the Jiameng Pass today, then he would think that this was his own ability, and he could be regarded as an up-and-coming, and he was fighting for face, and his mood was naturally very happy and very proud.
But Wu Anguo is obviously different from him. Although he also knows the way, if he can climb the pass, he is naturally better than yesterday, but he was repelled by the enemy, then this is a failure, and what is there to show off if he fails. Wu Anguo never felt anything anyway, in his opinion, this was a shame for his lord and the Liangzhou army, so he should be punished.
Ma Chao shook his head slowly. "Wu An doesn't have to blame himself, in fact, today you are not only not guilty, but meritorious! Don't feel that being repelled by the enemy is just not good. In fact, the enemy's defense is strict, and our army can climb the pass. It's already very good, so Wu An is not guilty. No more need to mention it! ”
Ma Chao has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments. In Wu Anguo's eyes, he felt that he was a shameful failure and felt that he would be punished, but could Ma Chao, the lord, do that, obviously impossible. If you don't say to Wu Anguo, it must be a reward, but you must encourage a few words, after all, people are indeed on the Jiameng Pass today.
At this time, Ma Chao remembered his brother Ma Dai, in comparison. My brother really has to learn from Wu Anguo. In fact, Wu Anguo is a relatively modest person, but his own clan brother still has to practice for a few years, otherwise it is impossible that he will not be too good to him in the future. Ma Chao never thinks that people shouldn't be complacent, just when. And there must be a limit and a place. His own brother is not doing very well, so he has to worry about him as the eldest brother.
As soon as Wu Anguo saw that his lord had said so, he didn't say anything about it anymore. In fact, he also knows that his lord is a person who has clear rewards and punishments, and he thinks that it is a bad place, but in his lord and others, he may not think so. And Wu Anguo will not argue about this, because he feels that he only needs to express his attitude in this kind of thing, this is his principle. As for the rest, that's naturally how to deal with it-
After Mingjin withdrew his troops this time, Ma Chao did not summon everyone to come to the big tent for a while. Although only Wu Anguo took the Liangzhou sergeant to tackle the problem, Ma Chao also asked Chen to rest with them, but Jia Xu was the only one left.
Of course, Jia Xu knew what his lord meant, but he was not omnipotent, and it was impossible for him to have any good ideas to deal with the enemy army every time, so at this time, he could only smile helplessly in his heart. His lord really thinks too highly of himself, if he is really so powerful, the Liangzhou army will not enter Yizhou early, and he can still be blocked by such a Jia Meng Pass?
Sure enough, Ma Chao still wouldn't let Jia Xu go, and he had to squeeze the value from him, so at this time he said to Jia Xu: "I don't know if Mr. has any ideas to deal with the enemy now?" ”
Ma Chao did see some hope of victory today, but the enemy's strong defense did give him a headache, if the enemy army did not make any big mistakes, or if his own side did not have any good strategies, Jia Meng Pass really couldn't be broken for a few months. When the time comes, when the reinforcements from Chengdu arrive, their Liangzhou army will be blocked outside the Jiameng Pass, and they will not be allowed to enter an inch.
Jia Xu shook his head slowly at Ma Chao, "The lord doesn't have to be so anxious about this, the ancients said, the so-called 'there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain', although our army is now on the disadvantaged side, but it does not mean that it will continue like this." And the Chengdu reinforcements will not come here for a while and a half, maybe we will have a countermeasure in the next few days! ”
At this time, Jia Xu can only persuade his lord in this way, and can only pin on the other party's reinforcements that they will not come to Jiameng Pass so quickly, after all, after the news reaches Chengdu, and then Chengdu reinforcements will be sent to Jiameng Pass. Last time, Gao Pei brought 10,000 horses to support Hanzhong on Liu Yan's orders, and it took him so much time to reach Nanzheng, so this time I think about it, the time for Chengdu reinforcements to arrive at Jiameng Pass should only be long and not short.
Of course, Ma Chao knew that Jia Xu was persuading himself, but although he also had such thoughts, he couldn't pin his hopes on the late arrival of reinforcements in Chengdu. Ma Chao has never been the one who pinned all these victories on others, and more, don't people have to rely on themselves. We thought that the great predecessors once said, "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing", but isn't that also true?
And just when Ma Chao was still thinking about countermeasures at this time, the soldier came to report. said: "Report to the state pastor, there is a person outside the camp who asks to see him, saying that he is the old man of the state pastor!" And his people have been controlled by our army, and I ask the state pastor to decide! ”
Ma Chao listened, what what? Your own deceased? There are a lot of old people, but who can run to Jiamengguan here without trouble, this is a battlefield, not a scenic spot, a place of interest. Could it be ......
Ma Chao suddenly thought about it again, could it be that the other party came to defect to him? That's probably the only way to go. It makes sense. It seems that you have to take a look at the camp, if you really defect to yourself, then you can't snub others. None of his old friends are ordinary people, and if any of them are taken out, aren't they all quite capable talents. He is attacking the trick of Jia Meng Pass, and the other party is coming to vote for him. Isn't this just to help yourself break through, Ma Chao thought so.
Because they were still waiting outside the camp. So Ma Chao could only take Jia Xu out of the big tent at this time. Walk towards the camp gate. He wanted to see who had come to him at such a critical time-
And Ma Chao and Jia Xu had already come to the gate of the Liangzhou Army's camp at this time, Ma Chao saw a person standing at the gate of the camp, but at this time he only saw the silhouette of this person, but even if it was just a silhouette, Ma Chao felt extremely familiar. Sure enough, it's an old man. Ma Chaoxin said, that's right, otherwise how could it be so familiar.
And after Ma Chao and Jia Xu left the camp, the other party happened to turn around. When Ma Chao saw the other party's face, he immediately smiled and said: "Ha Lu haha, who else should I be, isn't this Brother Guo of Yingchuan!" I don't know what kind of wind blows you to Yizhou Jiameng Pass, is it that Yingchuan is blowing a strong northeast wind? ”
The person who came was Guo Jia from Yingchuan Yangzhai, I saw Guo Jia also smile when he saw Ma Chao, although Ma Chao is now considered a high authority, but these few words still reminded him of the days when he and this Meng Qi brother intersected in Yingchuan. Now that thirteen or fourteen years have passed, his brother Meng Qi's reputation in the world is even greater than before, and he is a high and powerful person, and his strength is very strong. But judging from today, he hasn't forgotten the beginning, but Guo Jia is still very pleased with this.
I saw Guo Jia and he smiled, and said: "It's rare that Brother Meng Qi can still remember the little brother, so it's good, it's so good!" Hahaha, if you want to say that the little brother is now penniless, he has nothing else to grow, and he is already desperate, haven't you heard that Brother Meng Qi is here, so he specially came here to eat! I wonder if Brother Meng Qi can not dislike the little brother and give the little brother an errand to do? ”
Ma Chao said in his heart that although Guo Jia is more than two years younger than himself, to be honest, his temperament has not changed much until today. This is good, it's very good, at least it's the same as before, I always call myself Brother Meng Qi, instead of calling me a state pastor or something.
And now there are few people who can still talk like this in front of him, looking at the world, but he Guo Jia is really one. As for what he said about being penniless, Ma Chao naturally knew that it was pure nonsense, with his Guo Jia's ability, even if he had nothing, as long as he was given a little more time, he would still have anything, and what kind of despondency could he be.
"Brother Guo, please! Now that he has come to Brother Wei, of course Brother Wei can't help but entertain him! ”
Ma Chaoxin said that he has such a big military camp, if there is no place for you Guo Jia, it will be interesting.
When Guo Jia heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Ma Chao: "The lord is above, Yingchuan Yang Zhai Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao have seen the lord!" ”
Guo Jia was like this before, but when it was time to be serious, he naturally would not be serious and serious, this is Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao.
Ma Chao hurriedly helped Guo Jia and hurriedly said: "Fengxiao doesn't need to be polite, hurry up and follow me into the camp!" ”
"Please!"
Ma Chao and Jia Xu invited Guo Jia to the camp, and the three of them entered the big tent together, and at the same time Ma Chao instructed the soldiers to ask the soldiers to invite a few generals to come over and talk about it, and said that there were guests! So the soldiers didn't dare to slack off, and personally went to invite Chen to a few of them. This guest was an acquaintance of his own state pastor, and he was still a friend at first glance, so the soldier did not dare to slack off and hurriedly went.
And now Ma Chao, he really can't care about letting Wu Anguo and a few people go to rest, since Guo Jia is here, this is the biggest thing. Therefore, he must introduce them to each other as soon as possible, so that Guo Jia can integrate into this big collective as soon as possible.
For Guo Jia's arrival today, it can be said that Ma Chao's heart is extremely happy. Originally, with his original intention, a talent like Guo Jia had to be invited out of the mountain by himself. It is estimated that in that case, Guo Jia will agree to follow him to Liangzhou. However, because Ma Chao was born, his younger brother traveled far away, and then he took care of his wife, children and mother, so he forgot about Guo Jia. In fact, even if he remembered it, it was useless, because Guo Jia had not been in Yingchuan all these years, so Ma Chao could only go to Yingchuan to make a fuss.
After entering the account, Ma Chao hurriedly gave up his seat, Guo Jia never said anything polite to Ma Chao. After a while, Chen Dao, Cui An, Wu Anguo and Wei Ping all arrived, and they all saw Guo Jia, and said in their hearts that this one seemed to be younger than the lord. However, a few more people didn't think about it, so after everyone sat down, they waited for their lord to speak. (To be continued......)
