Chapter 54 Wolf Ambition

The banquet, which had been harmonious a moment ago, fell silent for a moment, and the hall became cold and gloomy under the rendering of the headless corpse lying on the table. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info// update fast // aigwen Cai Ma Chao picked up a white cloth from the table, and slowly wiped the blood drops on the long sword in his hand.

Someone came from outside the hall, it was Pound.

After Pound entered, he walked straight to Mi Fang's dead head, grabbed the hair on the person's head, and walked out again with the head.

Ma Chao, dressed in a brocade robe, wiped the long sword and returned it to its sheath and hung it on the wall again.

Walking into the inner hall, Ma Chao took off his clothes, put on a military uniform, and then picked up the armor and put it on neatly one by one, lifted the tiger head Zhan golden gun, and the heroic and extraordinary Ma Chao appeared in front of him again.

Walking out of the gate of the mansion and stepping on the mount, the horse galloped straight to the camp of Jincheng.

The 50,000 iron cavalry, including the Yinling Flying Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, were all ready to go, and if they didn't stand on a high place, they couldn't see the whole picture of this army at all.

Mi Fang's head was hung by Pang De on the flagpole of the Jincheng camp, and Pang De, Yang Qiu, Ma Play, and Zhang Heng were all solemn.

Except for Pound's indifferent face, the other three generals tried their best to maintain their composure.

They don't know what happened, and why did Ma Chao kill Mi Fang?

Can Mi Fang kill if she wants to?

Even if Mi Fang commits a heinous crime, Guo Jia must be the one who decides his life and death.

Jin Ma Chao came to the high platform of the barracks with powerful steps, and the cold color came into the eyes of the whole army.

"The whole army listened to the order, followed me to the east, and set foot on the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan! Violators, behead! ”

Ma Chao gave an order, and scared Yang Qiu and the other three generals into bloodlessness.

They thought they had misheard.

Where is Ma Chao going to fight? Guanzhong!

Rebellion?!

The three generals looked at each other, but finally turned over and acted as ordered.

The iron cavalry troops, which had not appeared since Guo Jia's army went north to fight Cao Cao outside the pass two years ago, were finally dispatched when the Taiping army attacked Xiangfan in the north to gain the advantage!

50,000 iron horsemen set off from Jincheng in the starry night and went straight to Chang'an!

Halfway up, Ma Chao sent 3,000 people to the south to capture Chencang, and then held the dangerous road, cutting off the connection between Guanzhong and Yizhou!

Ma Chao rebelled, and the world was shocked!

The first to bear the brunt is the businessmen in Guanzhong.

The soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were divided into two roads under the leadership of Zhang Liao, one led by Zhang Liao to sit in Hangu Pass, and one was led by Yan Yan to sit in Wuguan, with a total of 100,000 troops on both sides.

Xu Shu in Chang'an only had no more than 5,000 soldiers and horses.

In the Chang'an Mansion, Xu Shu was teaching a child and explaining to him the key points in the military book.

"Wei'er, do you understand?"

The ten-year-old child, who was sitting opposite Xu Shu, looked at the book of soldiers intently and nodded solemnly.

Xu Shu smiled with satisfaction.

He has no children under his knees, although he has two wives and concubines, but for many years there are no heirs born, in order to give an explanation to the old mother of the family, or to do filial piety, after all, unfilial piety has three no queens, Xu Shu adopted an orphan as his child.

The boy in front of him is called Jiang Wei, who was an orphan adopted by Xu Shu when Han Sui caused trouble in the northwest, and he taught carefully in the next few years, and Xu Shu also planned to teach him what he had learned all his life.

The guards outside the door came to report, and someone asked to see him.

The whole of Chang'an is now in a panic.

Who is Ma Chao? To outsiders, it seems to be a puppet.

Nowadays, Chang'an is full of flowers, both people's livelihood and commerce are thriving, although the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce still occupies most of the interests, there are also many businessmen from all over the world to establish a foothold in Chang'an.

Now that Ma Chao is coming, everyone must be panicking.

Under Guo Jia's rule, there is a stable order, and only then can business be on the right track.

Those big families who kept to themselves and made a fortune are really scared now.

Guo Jia is a reasonable warlord, if you honestly abide by the law, he will not target and suppress you.

But if Ma Chao captures Chang'an, who can guarantee that Ma Chao will not be like Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Guo Yan back then?

There are many people in Chang'an City who can speak on behalf of all businessmen, and the most important person is obviously Zhen Yu.

Therefore, Zhen Yu was pushed to meet Xu Shu to see what Xu Shu would do.

Is it to transfer Zhang Liao back to rescue Chang'an?

Or maybe you can talk to Ma Chao and let him stop the precipice?

Zhen Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't be blamed for being so flustered.

As a successful businessman, Zhen Yu is personable and amazing, but it was all peacetime, and now he has a knife hanging over his head, not to mention that he is a businessman, many officials in Chang'an are panicked.

The person who received Zhen Yu was Zhang Ji, and he didn't know what to say to make Zhen Yu don't wander around in front of him, and now in this situation, Zhang Ji was also shocked.

Is the horse super reversed? It's the other way around!

He had already told Guo Jia that people like Ma Chao couldn't be guarded against, but Guo Jia gave Ma Chao everything.

The result? The result?

Ma Chao did such a wolf-hearted thing!

Xu Shu arranged Jiang Wei's homework before going to see Zhen Yu.

As soon as they met, Xu Shu was about to salute, but Zhen Yu rushed to him with an arrow step, grabbed Xu Shu's arm and asked, "Yuan Zhi, what countermeasures does Feng Xiao have?" Chang'an can't afford to lose! You can't be captured by that super dog thief. ”

Xu Shu showed a wry smile.

Zhen Yu's words, how could he not know?

Guo Jia's two major cities of gravity, Chang'an in the north and Chengdu in the south, Chang'an, which has been operating for more than ten years, has just regained its prosperity, if it is destroyed, it will not only be a devastating blow to the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, but also let Guo Jia's efforts for more than ten years be in vain.

Xu Shu pulled Zhen Yu to the side and sat down and asked people to serve tea.

How can Zhen Yu be in the mood to drink tea now? Red tape saves energy, and then asked: "Yuan Zhi, just tell the truth, Ma Chao will be in Chang'an in less than a day, what are you going to do?" You just need to say war, my Zhen family as the representative of all the merchants in this city, how much money and food you want, how much I pay, if there are not enough people, we mobilize the people to defend the city together, if the people are afraid, then reward, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, no matter what, it will definitely be able to block Ma Chao for ten days and half a month, as long as you wait for reinforcements, Chang'an will be saved. ”

Xu Shu and Zhang Ji both heard the resoluteness in Zhen Yu's tone.

Zhen Yu's words actually revealed another meaning, they only believed in Guo Jia's rule, and in other words, they didn't even give room for negotiation.

What businessmen need most is a stable investment environment, although the country is difficult to make money, but it is a tightrope like a thread hanging, and if you are not careful, it will affect the whole family, so it is the situation that a far-sighted businessman likes to see the most.

In the fifteen years since Guo Jia's occupation, Chang'an has created a win-win situation in this peaceful and happy land, the people live and work in peace and contentment, all walks of life are thriving, and all the people in Yizhou Chamber of Commerce have benefited from it, they can enjoy the sound of dogs and horses here, the lights are bright, this is simply a paradise on earth, they are not afraid of being oppressed by the power, they do not have to worry about the war and chaos, they do business in their duty, and the money earned can let them have inexhaustible glory and wealth.

All these beautiful lives can't be ruined by Ma Chao, a horseman!

Xu Shu faced the anxious Zhen Yu, and he couldn't get up easily, but Zhen Yu's proposal obviously couldn't be adopted.

"To tell you the truth, after Ma Chao and his army arrive tomorrow, I plan to surrender the city."

As soon as Xu Shu's voice fell, Zhen Yu was shocked, and Zhang Ji was thoughtful, but he paid tribute to Xu Shu.

Now this Chang'an City can't stop Ma Chao, and the people can be mobilized, and everyone will unite to defend the city.

But the result will only be that Chang'an will fall into the hands of Ma Chao after the blood flows.

"Yuan Zhi, how can you surrender to this dog thief? This is the hard work of Feng Xiao! Isn't Zhang Wenyuan a soldier? Chang'an dragged it out here and transferred him back. ”

Zhen Yu was dumbfounded, and hurriedly questioned Xu Shu.

Xu Shu showed a wry smile and did not explain.

Zhang Liao and Yan Yan do have soldiers, and as long as these two people come back, Chang'an will definitely be able to hold it!

But the key point is that if Zhang Liao is transferred back, the gate to the east is opened, and Cao Wei's soldiers and horses will drive straight in, and then the entire northwest will fall.

Now it is the belly and the back of the enemy, with tigers in the east and wolves in the west.

Compared with losing his territory to Cao Wei, Xu Shu would rather lose Chang'an to Ma Chao, the lesser of two evils.

No matter how ambitious Ma Chao is, at most he will play a next pass and add Liangzhou, if it is Cao Wei, then this country will almost be Cao Wei's.

"I will see Ma Chao tomorrow, and I will tell him the stakes, he wants Chang'an, he wants Guanzhong, I will try my best to persuade him not to hurt the innocent, Chang'an is business as usual. I think Ma Chao, even if he is a wolf, will never provoke public resentment and provoke a group of people to attack. ”

A careerist can never embark on this road in order to kill innocents indiscriminately, there are many ways to conquer, the best thing in the world is to set up a name to attract talents for their own use, Cao Cao and Sun Quan have set up many fresh official positions, and Guo Jia set up Yizhou Mansion, a transcendent political institution.

Ma Chao wants to occupy a place in the world, first of all, he can't make enemies everywhere, and after attacking the city and grabbing the land, he must appease and co-opt all those who can be used for his own use.

Zhen Yu, a businessman, also understands these truths, but they don't trust Ma Chao, a horseman, and it is very simple to be a master for a day, but what Guo Jia has done for twenty years is not something that any monarch can do.

Since Xu Shu has made up his mind, Zhen Yu is not easy to make it difficult for others, in the final analysis, they want to resist Ma Chao, and they also need official representatives like Xu Shu to take the lead.

After sending Zhen Yu away, Zhang Ji asked Xu Shu with a worried face: "My lord, do you really surrender to Ma Chao?" ”

Xu Shu didn't want to harm the pond fish, so he didn't resist, which Zhang both understood.

But when it comes to the present, the heart must be sad.

Xu Shu didn't speak, and walked straight towards the study where Jiang Wei was.

Walking outside the door of the study, watching Jiang Wei engrossed in reading the military book, Xu Shu said to himself: "Ma Mengqi, don't let down the lord." ” #
