Chapter 32: Kneeling

The sun was shining, but Ma Chao, who was sitting opposite Pound in front of the stone table, was like falling into an ice cellar, and his heart was cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info// update fast //

Pang De put the dagger in front of Ma Chao and shook his head slightly.

He wouldn't blame Ma Chao for abandoning him.

The lord and servant of the monarch, as a servant, he could not ask the monarch for anything.

Since there is a Cao Hong in the world who can sacrifice his life for Cao Cao, a Cao Hong who can pay the price of his life for Cao Cao's absurdity, Pang De can also spare his life for Ma Chao.

It's a pity that the luck is not good, Pang De is seriously ill and can't help Ma Chao when he is in danger, so he can't drag Ma Chao back.

If Jincheng is broken and Pang De dies under Han Sui's sword, he will not complain about Ma Chao at all, but will die as he deserves, which can be regarded as a good beginning and ending well for the Ma family.

But Guo Jia suddenly led the army to the rescue, Pound couldn't be indifferent, since Guo Jia was able to risk his life for him, how could Pound ignore this feeling?

"Meng Qi, I want to ask you, do you know Guo Yuanjun's ambition?"

Pound did not answer Ma Chao's question, but asked an irrelevant question.

Ma Chao was silent.

Guo Jia's ambition?

If it sounds good, it is for the people of the world to live in the world, but if it doesn't sound good, it is the wolf's ambition to dominate the world.

No matter which way you say it, at least Guo Jia is definitely a pioneering and enterprising monarch, judging from his actions such as wanting to go out of the Guandong and deter Liu Biao, he is by no means a monarch who will live in peace with other princes.

In this world, it is precisely because of the princes of the eight directions that there is a situation where the country is not unified, who can end the situation of the division of the princes, who is the new son of heaven, the Han family? The gas is exhausted.

Pound's question is actually tacit.

Seeing that Ma Chao didn't reply, Pang De continued: "Meng Qi, if there is a day when Guo Envoy Jun and you meet each other, before the two armies face each other, you come to tell me, should I draw my sword for you and Guo Envoy Jun to face each other?" If so, then wouldn't I take revenge? If not, then I am an unfaithful person, in a dilemma, unable to choose, I think, it is better to decide. ”

Loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, Pang De knows that he will be criticized by countless people if he chooses to abandon Ma Chao, thinking that he will switch to the stronger Guo Jia after seeing Ma Chao's poor strength, these are not taken to heart, if he is in front of Ma Teng today, Pang De will never choose to leave, but would rather bear the name of injustice and always be loyal to the Ma family.

Pound didn't ask Ma Chao about his ambitions, and he abandoned Ma Chao not because Ma Chao was ambitious.

But Ma Chao lowered his head and began to reflect.

What has he done over the years?

When Ma Teng was alive, Ma Jun's fame suddenly rose and shook the northwest, and what else did he have besides the prestige of a Jinma Chao?

After Ma Teng's death, except for an impulsive attempt to avenge his father, Ma Chao basically stayed in his own territory aimlessly, immersed in the glory of becoming a monarch.

Looking at the heroes in the world, the two most powerful should be Guo Jia and Cao Cao, and these two people are not strong overnight, their strength is not achieved overnight, but through five years, ten years, more than ten years of long-term accumulation, and the results of continuous pioneering and enterprising.

But Ma Chao thought about it, not that he had no space to develop, but that he might not have the direction and ambition at all.

There is no rule that the princes must rely on their own strength to fight for hegemony, Ma Chao can unite with Han Sui, can fight with Cao Cao, and can even suddenly cast a cold arrow behind Guo Jia's back, regardless of the chance of success, at least he doesn't even have this idea.

Do you still go on like this?

Those who have no ambition in the dark have no clear vision; Those who have nothing to worry about have nothing to do, no great achievements.

If Ma Chao doesn't even know what he wants to get in this game of chess, then is it necessary for him to remain a monarch?

In Guo Jia's eyes, Ma Chao is destined to be a general, no matter how high he is, he can't reach it.

The opposite of Ma Chao is Liu Bei, Liu Bei is destined to be a monarch, no matter whether he is displaced or his fate hangs by a thread, Liu Bei is always a person who wants to become a monarch.

Ma Chao himself also knows that he is actually at the end of the crossbow now, not to mention that Guo Jia is guarding against him, even if Guo Jia does not defend him, it will be difficult for Ma Chao to set off much of a storm, unless he can really capture the thief and capture the king.

The territories under his rule were in chaos, the people fled for their lives, the farming was abandoned, the army and the people were tired and discouraged, and the people who were insecure under him, the monarch, even if there was still surplus food at home, would flee to Guanzhong with their families.

Regardless of whether the people support Ma Chao or not, one thing is certain now, with Guo Jia's soldiers and horses in Jincheng, this Jincheng can be regarded as guaranteed, if Guo Jia's soldiers and horses are withdrawn, I am afraid that Han Sui will not come to fight, and the soldiers and civilians of Jincheng will flee here.

The monarch did his part, and Ma Chao felt deeply ashamed.

"Ling Ming, let's go."

Ma Chao picked up a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, then got up and walked towards Pang De towards the mansion.

Ma Chao couldn't hate Pang De, especially Pang De had served the Ma family for more than ten years, and it was such an open and honest showdown, Ma Chao was already a little sorry for Pang De.

It's a foregone conclusion, the wood is already in the boat, Pound is leaving, Ma Chao killing him will not help, anyway, it is the result of losing Pound, it is better to get together and disperse.

Over the years, since Guo Jia dealt with the Han and Ma families, he has given Pang De more respect than others expected, even if Pang De does not come to serve him, Guo Jia will at least feel that they will not become enemies.

In Jincheng, Guo Jia couldn't be overjoyed in the face of Pang De's arrival, but just received Pang De with great etiquette, and then let Pang De go to Chang'an to recuperate.

Cao Cao once had a life-and-death disaster in Wancheng, and it was a bit too much to sleep with Aunt Zhang Xiu, but it was Cao Cao's excessive digging of the wall that caused Cao Cao to kill him.

Guo Jia likes to learn from other people's lessons, so he stayed in the Taiping Army barracks in Jincheng very scrupulously, and he didn't even greet the soldiers under Ma Chao's command.

The monarch is most taboo for others to dig the foot of the wall, although Ma Chao is not an excellent monarch, but he will not tolerate this kind of thing, so Pound joined Guo Jia, Guo Jia did not celebrate the reward, deliberately low-key face this matter is not to provoke Ma Chao, at the same time, Pound does not need Guo Jia to use what a beautiful pomp to greet his service, he does not think that it is a glorious thing to leave Ma Chao to serve Guo Jia.

Two days later, Zhang Liao as the commander, Meng Da Wu Yi as the deputy general led 30,000 foot soldiers to Jincheng, but there was no battle to fight, Han Sui's troops and horses were withdrawn cleanly, directly retreated to Wuwei, and sent a messenger to explain to Guo Jia.

He beat Ma Chao, and it was Ma Chao who deducted the grain first, so Han Sui was not unreasonable.

Guo Jia did not reply to Han Sui, but first asked Hanzhong to escort 100,000 stone grains to Jincheng.

In any case, the people are innocent, Guo Jia is in Jincheng, he has to show his love for the people, and give Ma Chao 100,000 stone grain, Ma Chao will support it for another quarter at most, and then wait for Guo Jia to withdraw the army, and Ma Chao will still be dead after the food is exhausted.

Transporting grain from Hanzhong to Jincheng can be taken through Wudu Yinping to Longxi, which takes about half a month to a month.

Just when Guo Jia's troops were in the northwest, Cao Cao had also been attacking Hebei in the eastern part of the country for several months.

If Cao Cao really showed 100% strength to fight Yuan Tan to the death, Yuan Tan would definitely not be able to stop it, even if he was defending to the death, but Cao Cao just created momentum and did not do his best, and after a stalemate for several months, Cao Cao had a situation where he could only withdraw his troops after a long time.

After Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Hebei, he went to Wancheng in Nanyang with his soldiers and horses non-stop, and stationed troops here.

This time, the two families in the south and the north are worried and happy.

Liu Biao was nervous, he had Cao Cao in the north, Guo Jia in the west, and Sun Quan in the east.

Fortunately, Liu Biao has a watchdog, and Liu Bei, who is stationed in Xinye, is what Liu Biao used to resist Cao Cao.

Liu Biao is too nervous, he is very sensitive now, whoever has soldiers and horses stationed at the border of his territory will make him sit on pins and needles, really calculated, Cao Cao actually occupied Wancheng, and he had already stepped into his territory as a pastor of Jingzhou.

Cao Cao's soldiers Wancheng did not fight Liu Biao, but bluffed and showed the Yuan brothers in Hebei.

Yuan Tan, who successfully resisted Cao Cao, had a great increase in confidence, and even his father Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao, and he had a draw with Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao went to fight Liu Biao again, and the crisis in Hebei was temporarily lifted.

Yuan Shang, who also sat in Yecheng with a higher official position, was also afraid of his eldest brother.

Cao Cao!

His eldest brother was able to stop Cao Cao!

When Yuan Shao was alive, he didn't see how outstanding this brother was, but now he is unstoppable.

Yuan Tan was unwilling to let Yuan Shang be his younger brother but pressed on his head, Yuan Shang was afraid that Yuan Tan would develop into a big trouble, the two brothers were still somewhat similar in temperament, they were both temperamental, and they were suspicious and jealous of each other, and they were too lazy to be false and wronged, so they started to fight directly!

Cao Cao played a two-handed bluff trick and successfully made the two brothers in Hebei fight a civil war, which is simply a million benefits!

Now, he waited for the two brothers to decide the winner, and then ended the war at the end of the war.

At the end of summer, Fei Shi arrived in Jincheng as a Sima escort from Hanzhong to escort grain and grass, Guo Jia led the army out of the city to greet him, and Ma Chao, as the master, also went out of the city to receive him.

Looking at the grain trucks entering Jincheng one after another, Guo Jia suddenly called Ma Chao aside.

In the vast wilderness outside the city, Guo Jia said to Ma Chao gently: "Meng Qi, your territory is too peaceful, and it is time for me to lead the army back to Chang'an." ”

Ma Chao didn't drive Guo Jia away, and Guo Jia proposed to leave.

solved the crisis of Han Sui's attack, and sent food to Ma Chao, Guo Jiaren did his duty.

Ma Chao stood in front of Guo Jia and hung his head, the summer and autumn breeze was refreshing, and his messy hair was dancing lightly, Ma Chao suddenly made a move that shocked Guo Jia and even everyone present outside the city.

Jin Ma Chao, who was famous in the northwest in all directions, bent his legs and fell to his knees in front of Guo Jia without warning.

Fei Shi, who was standing in the distance and commanding the grain transportation, saw this scene, and his heart was shocked.

Once upon a time, he asked Guo Jia if he planned to recruit Ma Chao.

Guo Jia said: Jin Ma Chao is young and ambitious, and he will not bow to others until he is in a desperate situation.

And now, Fei Shi understands.

It's not Guo Jia who wants to recruit Ma Chao.

It was Guo Jia who forced Ma Chao to the point where he could only take the initiative to work!
