Chapter 948: Cao Cao's Overtures

It turned out that not long ago, Zhang Jaw had reorganized the military department in accordance with Ma Zongheng's instructions, dismissed all the soldiers and soldiers who had no intention of serving the Ma family, and formed a 20,000-strong 'Flying Lion Army'.

Everyone saw that it was Zhang Jaw who walked out, and they couldn't help but look sink, after all, Zhang Jaw was once a general under Yuan Shao, and he was outstanding, but Ma Zongheng attached great importance to him, and asked him to reorganize and integrate all the old Yuan departments and integrate an elite army of 20,000 people. Because of this, the open jaw is naturally eye-catching.

"There will be a secret letter to be delivered to the lord!" saw Zhang Jaw's face solemn and his voice was loud. Ma Zongheng and his eyes matched, so he ordered the left and right to fetch it, and immediately took it and took it apart. Soon, Ma Zongheng's face changed, and he let out a cold snort heavily, and after looking at it, he sneered again and again: "What a treacherous tyrant Cao Mengde!" On the one hand, he canonized my father as a general, but on the other hand, he wanted to separate my general!! If it weren't for my loyalty, I wouldn't know how to guard against it!! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, everyone changed color, and some people who had not yet reacted even suddenly became a little more hostile to Zhang Jaw's gaze and looked at him angrily. Seeing this, Ma Zongheng shouted angrily, like the sound of a thunderbolt exploding, shocking all the people and others, all of them were frightened, and hurriedly restrained their feelings.

"Humph! Don't get me wrong! In order to accept Jun Yi to take refuge, the thief did not hesitate to promise Ji Zhou Mu, but Jun Yi is willing to deliver this letter to me, which is enough to prove that he has no objection! Wait until you have no random guesses, otherwise I won't spare it!! As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, everyone was quite surprised to see that Ma Zongheng actually believed in Zhang Jaw. At this time, Zhang Jaw suddenly looked solemn, knelt down on one knee, and asked: "Lord, the last general's talent is thin, and he is really embarrassed to lead an army, I am willing to hand over the Flying Lion Army, and ask the Lord to find another lover, or reorganize the Flying Lion Army into various departments!" ”

After all, from the eyes of Zhang Jaw, it can be seen that he has made up his mind this time, and he does not hesitate to hand over his heavy duties and military power, so magnanimous is indeed admirable.

"Zhang Junyi!" Unexpectedly, Ma Zongheng's face was angry, and he suddenly shouted, and his jaw couldn't help but be shocked, and he hurriedly responded: "The end will be here!" ”

"When I asked you to form this Flying Lion Army, I saw that you had this talent, and now you just handed over the military power to avoid suspicion. In this way, you are not only arrogant, but also live up to my high expectations for you!! You've disappointed me!! Ma Zongheng said with a bit of sadness. Zhang Jaw couldn't help but change his complexion, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The last general is incompetent, I am willing to be punished by the lord!" ”

"Enough~! You don't have the determination to do it, and I won't force you!! Wen Yuan, Ling Ming!! But seeing that Ma Zongheng was annoyed, after a while, he suddenly called out Zhang Liao and Pang De. When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly rushed out to answer: "The last general is waiting here!" ”

"Tomorrow, the two of you will hand over to this Zhang Jun, each with 10,000 troops, and summarize the White Lion and Red Lion Army!!" Ma Zongheng looked angry and unquestionable, and shouted. When the two of them heard this, although they both intended to intercede for Zhang Jaw, they saw Ma Zongheng's anger so far, and they also knew that they might not be able to persuade Ma Zongheng at this time, so they had to accept the order.

"That's the end of today's discussion, let's all step down!!" As soon as Ma Zongheng heard Zhang and Pang agree, he got up abruptly and walked away. Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, but they were all secretly surprised that Ma Zongheng would be so angry, but some people couldn't help but think that Ma Zongheng still didn't believe in Zhang Jaw and deliberately took the opportunity to withdraw his military power, but some people thought that Ma Zongheng really trusted Zhang Jaw too much, and was so disappointed that he was so angry.

After a while, everyone dispersed, and Zhang Jaw walked alone in the back. At this time, two rather sturdy and heroic figures suddenly stopped in front of him. Zhang Jaw looked up and saw the two fierce lions under the command of Ma Zongheng, Zhang Liao and Pang De!

"Regarding the details of the reception, if General Zhang is free, why don't you go to my mansion and talk about it, and how about I and the other three of us discuss it?" The speaker was Zhang Liao, but he saw that Zhang Liao's face was a little cold. Zhang Jaw listened, and sighed secretly, he was so lost, but it was not because he lost his military power, but because he felt extremely guilty and regretful about Ma Zongheng's disappointment in him.

"If the general doesn't think it's ugly and goes to disturb it, how dare you?" Zhang Jaw was shocked and said humbly.

Pound, who was on the side, saw it, as if he couldn't bear it, and suddenly rushed to open his jaw. This time it startled Zhang Jaw, and before he could react, Pang De actually hugged him, and glared at Zhang Liao and shouted: "Didn't you just say that it was good to drink in your mansion, in order to relieve the sullenness in your heart, Brother Zhang, why do you look strict, and use this official matter as an excuse, don't you have to make your face even more gloomy, it's just a rush to death~!" ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, his face changed several times in a row, and this seemingly indifferent person turned red, and he glared back at Pang De with some annoyance and scolded: "As a minister, I am favored by the king, and the public is naturally the first in everything!" You red devil don't understand this truth, and you dare to accuse me!! I'm not thinking, when I'm done talking about business, let Jun Yi take care of his mind first, and then have a good drink!! ”

"Haha, I see, okay, okay! Brother Zhang, don't put on a stinky face, it's all my fault, that's without further ado, act quickly! Pound said, regardless of the jaw and stunned in place, he forcibly hugged him and walked up.

At the same time, in a small pavilion in the backyard of the General's Mansion, Ma Zongheng stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the fish under the pond with some wandering, and it was dusk, and the sun was falling, flashing Ma Zongheng's rather worried face.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind Ma Zongheng, although it was quite slight, but it couldn't hide Ma Zongheng's ears. Moreover, Ma Zongheng also seemed to have long eyes behind him, and before he turned around, he guessed the identity of the person who came.

"Is Zhongdeok you?" Horse Vertical and Horizontal Whispering Nar. When Cheng Yu heard this, his face sank, and he bowed his hand and said: "Returning to the lord, it is Yu Ye." ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he turned around, his face was slightly restrained, and he said with a smile: "Do you have something else to do here?" ”

Cheng Yu was obedient, his expression froze, he silently glanced at Ma Zongheng, and said, "No, but Yu thought that the lord had something else on his mind." The Fit Talent Lord Guild is so thunderous and angry, in addition to the fact that Zhang Junyi has failed your expectations, there must be something else. Otherwise, with the calmness of the lord, it is rare to do so. ”

As soon as Cheng Yu's voice fell, Ma Zongheng's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he sighed lightly: "In the past, under my command, in addition to Fengxiao, you knew my mind best. Speaking of which, I shouldn't be so presumptuous, but I'm afraid it chills my heart. ”

"Hehe, Zhang Junyi, I came in contact with him for a while, this person is not only ambitious, but also a rare loyal man, the lord can get his likeness, it is indeed a handsome talent. It's just that, after all, it wasn't so easy for him to immediately integrate into the Ma clan not long after his first vote. After all, among the generals in our army who have achieved important positions, which one is not a brother who was born and died with the lord? Cheng Yu smiled slightly, after some reassurance from him, Ma Zongheng's expression gradually improved a lot, and said with a smile: "What you say is also reasonable." In the future, I will try to get in touch with him as much as possible so that he can integrate into it. ”

Cheng Yu nodded approvingly, and then suddenly sank, and said solemnly: "It's not a secret, Yu sat in Jizhou according to his orders, and just earlier Yu had ordered someone to inquire about the recent situation of the remnants of the Yuan family in Bingzhou, but I didn't know that there was no special information in Bingzhou for the time being, but I heard the news from Bingzhou that Ma Taigong had started to repair the palace again." This matter is very important, there are flying feather elites under the lord's jurisdiction, and he must have known that Shi Caiyu didn't see the lord talk about it, so he didn't dare to say it lightly. Could it be that this is exactly what the lord is worried about? ”

"Those who know me, Mo Ruozhongde, is also!" Ma Zongheng listened to it, and couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes became fierce: "The imperial court will soon make my father a general, which must be Cao Cao's intention, which is obviously Cao Cao's desire to appease my Ma family." But my father didn't appreciate it, and continued to repair the palace, as you said in the past, once Cao Cao made a big fuss about it, but said that my father had the heart to set up another dynasty and establish a country and be called the emperor, and then my Ma family would become the target of the public!! ”

Cheng Yu was obedient, and his face couldn't help but become cold, and he said: "As the lord said, this matter is extraordinary, if you don't stop it quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable!" If the lord doesn't like Yu to be frustrated, Yu is willing to say it, or send the prince to go! ”

"Eh, you don't know my father's temper! He was called a horse barbarian back then, and that was because once he became savage, no one could persuade him! Although the prince is a famous man in the world, he also has a strong temperament, once he quarrels with my father, I am afraid that he will only fight for red-faced! And Zhongde, although you are calm and careful, if you are patient with my father, you may be able to convince him. But I'm most afraid that he will play to the end and have no intention of listening! To tell you the truth, now Gongming and Man Chengdu are being put in prison by him! ”

"What !?" When Cheng Yu heard this, he couldn't help but change his complexion, but he saw that Ma Zongheng's eyes were sharp, not like a joke, so he believed it, and couldn't help but take a few breaths of air, and sighed: "It seems that things are far worse than I imagined!" ”

"Hey!! I don't know why my father is suddenly so abnormal, this must have fallen into the trick of Cao thief, otherwise he would not have lost his temper to this point, after all, when he conquered Yongzhou, Gongming and Man were indispensable, and my father would never treat meritorious people badly!! Ma Zongheng said this, and he couldn't help but get angry, and he was so angry that he drank it even more. Cheng Yu also frowned, unable to think of an idea for a while.

Ma Zongheng hurriedly paced for a while, and seeing that Cheng Yu was still dark-faced, silent, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Eh, if Feng Xiao is here, maybe there is a plan now." ”

At this time, Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly froze, Ma Zongheng just looked at it, and suddenly realized it, and hurriedly asked, "Does Zhongde have a plan?" ”

Cheng Yu arched his hand, bowed and said: "Now, if the lord is worried about it anymore, he will be restrained and lose the initiative. But it is said that at the beginning of the business, the lord relied on your unparalleled courage and courage to stand out from the crowd, if so, why not give it a go, or have another opportunity? ”
