When Ma Yunlu took Ma Chao to find Cao Ju, the latter was in Han Sui's Chinese army tent, looking at the book of war.

At the door, Hu Che'er and Hu Chi'er stood on the left and right, majestic.

Ma Chao often deals with Qianghu and other ethnic minorities, and he can see the bravery of Hu Che'er and Hu Chi'er at a glance, and he can't help but admire: "It's really a fierce general." ”

What made Ma Chao even more convincing was that Cao Ju did not give up the opportunity to read the art of war when he was cleaning up the battlefield, no wonder this person had never been defeated and shocked the Central Plains.

Ma Yunlu came to the front and said, "Two General Hu, please report, my eldest brother Ma Chao asks to see me." ”

Hu Che'er and Hu Chi'er looked at Ma Chao together, and Hu Che'er said lightly: "Miss Ma, wait a minute, the last general will go in and tell the lord." ”

After that, Hu Che'er turned around and entered the big tent, Ma Chao could see clearly, Cao Ju waved his hand and said a word, but he didn't know whether to agree or not want to see it.

Immediately, Hu Che'er came out, hugged his fists, and said: "Miss Ma, the lord has an order to invite Miss Ma and General Ma Chao to enter the account, but the weapons of the two must be taken off." ”

"It has to be so." Without any hesitation, Ma Yunlu immediately unsheathed his sword and handed it to Hu Che'er.

As for Ma Chao, he just hesitated, took off his saber and handed it to Hu Che'er.

This saber has been following Ma Chao for almost ten years, almost never leaving his body, even when he is sleeping, Ma Chao will put the sword next to his pillow, let alone hand over the saber to others, today is the first time.

Ma Chao let out a long sigh, he was unruly, but he was not a person who did not know the times, especially, his attitude could almost determine the fate of the entire Ma Jiajun, including his two dear brothers and a younger sister.

After the two entered the tent, Cao Ju had already closed the military book and was looking at Ma Chao with blazing eyes, the latter could clearly feel that there was an aura of a master exuding from Cao Ju's body, even surpassing any of Hu Che'er and Hu Chi'er at the door.

After entering the big tent, Ma Chao saw that Cao Ju didn't mean to speak, and knew that he was waiting for his salute.

After a slight hesitation, Ma Chao stepped forward, hugged his hands, and said loudly: "Defeated general Ma Chao, I have seen the general." ”

Cao Ju stood up with a smile and said: "Meng Qi is exempt from courtesy, when he was alone in the Central Plains, he heard about the honor of General Meng Qi Shenwei, and admired it in his heart. ”

"Ashamed, ashamed." Ma Chao didn't know how much he had heard of such flattery, and he was used to it, but today he felt harsh for the first time, which made his face red, and he hurriedly said, "The divine power of the general, the winning general, the defeated general has long been admired, and it is a blessing to be able to see the general today." ”

Ma Yunlu looked at Ma Chao with some surprise, how could she ever see Ma Chao so courteous and polite to people, is this still her arrogant and high-minded big brother all day long?

Cao Ju laughed and said: "Meng Qi is also an award, how can there be a winning general in the world, it's just a coincidence." Well, Meng Qi, Yun Lu, and you sit down and talk. ”

"General Xie." After the two thanked Cao Ju and sat down, Cao Ju asked, "Meng Qi, I heard that there is a big general named Pang De under Meng Qi's command, I don't know if he can be in the army?" ”

In Liangzhou, there are three most powerful generals, one is Yan Xing, one is Ma Chao, and the other is Pang De.

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Back to the general, there is no such person as Pang De under the command of the defeated general." ”

"Huh?" Han Yu was also stunned, he remembered that Pound had followed Ma Teng very early in history, and now Ma Teng had died, and Pound was not in the Ma family's army, which... It's just weird.

Ma Yunlu also said: "General Hui, it's true, there is no such person as Pang De among General Ma. ”

It's strange, where did Pang De go, Cao Judeng was a little anxious, such a general, he must not be thrown away from under his nose.

Cao Ju immediately shouted: "Hu Che'er entered the account to listen to the order." ”

"Whoa." Hu Che'er immediately responded, walked into the big tent in a hurry, hugged his fists, and said loudly, "My lord, the last general will wait for the order." ”

Cao Ju said: "Pass the Gu order, let Cao Ren immediately send someone to Nan'an County, we must find Pang De, and recruit him into our army, if this matter is successful, it will be a great achievement." ”

"Whoa." Hu Che'er also knew that Cao Ju loved money like his life, and what he could value so much was that this Pang De must be a great talent, so he immediately received the order and turned around to leave the account.

However, when Hu Che'er came to the door of the big tent, Cao Ju suddenly shouted: "Wait, Hu Che'er, that Pang De also has a brother, named Pang Rou, recruit them together." ”

"Whoa." Seeing that Cao Ju had no other orders, Hu Che'er immediately went out of the big tent and sent someone to convey Cao Ju's order.

Ma Chao couldn't help but ask: "General, I don't know who this Nan'an Pound is, but General Lao is so moved?" ”

Cao Ju smiled slightly: "This is a fierce general, I wonder if Meng Qi has heard of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's name?" ”

"Guan Yu Zhang Fei?" Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Ma Chao heard that when the princes fought against Dong Zhuo in the past, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang borrowed 3,000 troops from Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, to participate in the allied army, the main one is Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's generals, these three people have been under Kong Ling, and the generals have been enemies of the generals, and these two can compete with the generals Huang Zhong and Dian Wei under the generals, and they are all tiger generals in the world. ”

"What Meng Qi said is very true." Cao Ju nodded with a smile and said, "This Nan'an Pound's courage is not under Guan Yu at all, so Gu Cai is so anxious, after all, such a fierce general cannot fall into the hands of others." ”

Ma Chao was stunned, Nan'an County borders Liangzhou, and even borders with Ma Teng's forces, but Ma Chao doesn't know this person's reputation at all. On the contrary, it was Cao Ju, who knew Pang De as early as the Central Plains, and valued talents so much, no wonder this Cao Ju was so powerful.

If Ma Chao knew that Cao Ju had followed Du Zheng south to Yizhou at any risk in order to recruit several talents from Yizhou, he was afraid that he would be even more shocked by Cao Ju's thirst for talent.

Talent, talent, Ma Chao was stunned, and suddenly had a feeling of repentance, he always thought that as long as they relied on their Ma family father and son, what Liangzhou, what the world, what difficulties, today, but it is not so.

Cao Ju coughed lightly, and said with a slight smile: "Meng Qi, today's Han Sui was defeated, his strength was greatly damaged, and he will not go south in the short term, and when the battlefield here is cleared, our army should quickly go south and destroy Cheng Yin and other troops, I don't know if Meng Qi can be the vanguard?" ”

Our?

Can Meng Qi be a pioneer?

This is the solicitation, Ma Chao was shocked, he didn't expect Cao Ju's solicitation to come so quickly, and he was not completely psychologically prepared.
