Chapter 208: Swinging the score
Voted as a defeated army, the shelf is still so big, I even want Liu Bei to greet him personally!
As a shareholder of Liu Bei Group, Fang Shao has a reason to stand up at this time and maintain the majesty of the group's president.
So, Fang Shao said lightly: "The lord sits on the land of two states, commands hundreds of thousands of troops, is in charge of millions of people, and has countless military affairs to worry about, so he naturally can't spare time, so he appointed me and others to come to meet General Ma Mengqi on his behalf." ”
Although Fang Shao's words were not directly pointed out, he also made it clear, my father-in-law Liu Bei is a big boss, and he is busy, how can he have the spare time to deal with those of you who have already applied for bankruptcy protection and want to buy shares.
If he was born in a fierce political struggle like Sun Shangxiang, although he is martial, he can also understand the meaning of Fang Shao's words. And the Ma family is known for martial arts, and there is a serious lack of culture and education in family education, which can be seen from the fact that Ma Teng's father and son have been tossing in Xiliang for so many years, and there has never been a decent strategist around them, this family relies on their fists to speak, and they don't care about playing politics at all.
Therefore, Ma Yunlu didn't understand the deep meaning of Fang Shao's words, his slightly blue eyes blinked, and said: "Liu Yuanjun can't get out, and he should also send a decent big future, why did he only send two scholars here, don't you take my eldest brother in your eyes." ”
Ma Yunlu grew up in Xiliang since he was a child, and was infected by the Qiang surname, and he said whatever he thought of in his heart, completely ignoring the problem of face.
"Don't mind, my sister has always been outspoken." Although Ma Dai is also a martial artist, he is well-informed, and obviously knows a little more about etiquette than his sister-in-law, and then said: "Little sister, this official of filial piety is General Yangwu, or the Taishou of Shu County, and he is an important minister under Liu Yuanjun. As for this General Fang, his official position is not small. Liu Yuanjun sent them to greet them, which shows the importance of our eldest brother. ”
These two Xiliang people are really straightforward enough, and they discuss other people's official positions in front of others.
When Ma Yunlu heard his brother's explanation, his heart was happy, his face was filled with a satisfied smile, his eyes were full of charm, and he said with a smile: "I see, two generals, Yunlu is polite here." ”
I don't know if she was born like this, or did it intentionally, in short, the hot eyes swept around the two of them wantonly, even Fa Zheng, who has always prided himself on being calm, felt uncomfortable, and it was not good to face her squarely, so he only returned the salute and said: "Miss Ma is worthy of being the queen of the gate, and I am fortunate to be lucky." ”
Fang Shao is not as influenced by the words of a saint as Fa Zheng, he is from modern times, what kind of open woman has never been seen, he immediately faced Ma Yunlu calmly, and said lightly: "Miss Ma, but I don't know when Brother Ling will arrive in Wei County?" ”
Ma Yunlu has been messing with the Qiang people since he was a child, and he knows that those people in the Central Plains are always bound by what etiquette and laws, and those Central Plains men obviously see her beautiful and moving, and they have bad intentions in their hearts, but they have to show some kind of "don't look at incivility" and other twisted attitudes. So when she saw these two people, and saw that they were all dressed as literati, she deliberately played a little bewitching, wanting to tease them, but that Fa Zheng was not as she expected, and immediately looked embarrassed.
It's just that why this man surnamed Fang can be so calm, completely ignoring her hot and wanton gaze, this can't help but make Ma Yunlu very curious about him.
Curious, she didn't answer, but asked, "Dare to ask the general's name?" ”
Fang Shao was stunned for a moment and said, "In the next surname, Fang Shao is in the middle of the character." ”
Then she asked, "Then I don't know what weapon you used, General Fang?" ”
The farther and farther her her question went, Fang Shao was a little depressed, so she had to endure it for the time being, and replied patiently: "Shao can't use any weapons except for dancing the sword twice, which makes the young lady smile." ”
Ma Yunlu didn't know where the interest came from, and immediately said: "Since General Fang likes to dance swords, then let's have a good discussion another day." ”
Fang Shao was a little impatient, and said, "Shao, this little bit of unpopular sword art, how dare you compete with Miss." ”
Ma Yunlu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't enter the stream, I can teach you." ”
Fang Shao was about to go crazy, this Ma Yunlu only cared about asking some boring questions with his surname, and her brother Ma Dai seemed to be accustomed to it, happily watching his sister-in-law talk about these useless topics with a colleague who had just met, but he didn't mean to stop it at all.
Fang Shao glanced back at Fa Zheng, who also looked helpless, as if to say: Don't look at me, I don't have a problem, maybe the Ma family has mixed up with the Qiang people, and they all have this strange surname.
Fang Shao was not in the mood to talk to her, so he coughed a few times and said, "I said Miss Ma, let's talk about this matter later." We have come to wait for General Ma on the orders of the lord, but I don't know when General Ma himself will arrive, so we should return to Nanzheng as soon as possible. ”
Ma Dai patted Fang Shao's shoulder and said: "General Fang, don't be anxious, my eldest brother hasn't seen those handsomes for many years, and I chatted a few more words, most of the time on the road was delayed for some time, maybe ......"
Before he could say anything, the soldiers of the city came to report again, saying that on the North Gate Avenue, another group of men and horses had been killed.
Ma Dai smiled and said, "Look, I said don't worry, this must be my eldest brother." ”
Fang Shao and Fa Zheng had to climb the city tower for the third time.
Looking from afar, I saw the place where the woods were hidden, the figures were moving, the flags were waving, and the people and horses who came were walking along the winding mountain avenue, but there was no end in sight, and it was vaguely estimated that there were tens of thousands of people.
Ma Dai pointed to the mighty people and horses, and said proudly: "It's my eldest brother who has arrived." ”
Fang Shao remembered that according to the intelligence report, when Ma Chao was defeated in Jicheng, there were few subordinates, and only fled to Wudu with more than a thousand remnants, but now when he came, he suddenly brought more than 10,000 people, and the momentum was so huge, where did he come to join, but it seemed that he came to provoke.
When Ma Chao's brigade gradually approached, Fang Shao suddenly discovered a flaw in it, whether it was Ma Dai, Ma Yunlu, or Ma Chao's brigade, the first people were all dressed as Han family children, and most of the people who followed were all like Di people.
Suddenly, Fang Shao suddenly realized.
"It turns out that Ma Chao, this kid, borrowed the soldiers and horses of the Di people to give him a strong momentum, and the shelf is quite big, and he didn't come first, but sent his brother and sister two waves of people and horses first, aren't you afraid that we will look down on you, make such a big pomp and circumstance, and you can think of it."
After seeing through Ma Chao's intentions, Fang Shao's heart was settled, and the seemingly huge Diren army outside the city also became a floating cloud in his eyes. It's just that these soldiers under his command will inevitably be shocked by Ma Chao's bluffing tricks, and they will spread widely after they go back, so that Ma Chao's power will easily spread to Yizhou.
Speaking from the heart, Ma Chao's play is quite successful.
Ma Chao's army of more than 10,000 people drove to Wei County, which was convenient for the north of the city to go to the village, but Ma Chao himself did not enter the city to meet in person, but sent people to recruit them to meet in the village.
It seems that this Ma Chao is really arrogant, the defeated army has returned, but now he is anti-guest-oriented, not only that, but he also does not put the two prominent strategists under Liu Bei's account in his eyes, and openly summons him as a superior.
"Zhongzheng, then let's go meet the legendary Shenweitian General."
Fazheng, who has always been very self-assured, didn't mind at all at this time, he put down his body and didn't say anything, but he still had to pull Fang Shao forward.
Of course, Fang Shao knew that Fa Zheng behaved like this, not because he was a fellow villager with Ma Chao, it seemed that Fa Zheng was so enthusiastic about Ma Chao, and he must have high hopes for him.
"Filial piety, Ma Mengqi is here to join the lord, you and I just came to meet him on the orders of the lord, but the lord did not order us to listen to his orders and summon at will."
As the representative of the Jingxiangshi people who greeted Ma Chao, Fang Shao certainly had to defend the face of his group, so he decisively refused.
Fa Zheng looked disappreciative and said: "Having said that, but Ma Mengqi is all over Guanlong, and even Cao Ying is afraid of him, and he has the Marquis of Duting who was awarded by the imperial court, with his status, it doesn't hurt for me to bend down to see him." ”
He really said this, didn't he just "bend down" under Liu Zhang's hands for too long, so he sold Yizhou in a fit of anger, and how arrogant he was after being in a prominent position, he was independent of Liu Bei, even Zhuge Liang and others avoided three points in his edge. With his surname, now he took the initiative to "bend down" again, hum, what kind of calculations he had in his heart, of course Fang Shao would not be unable to guess.
"I want to pull my brother into the water, and I want to lose the face of the Jingxiangshi people, but it's not so easy."
Fang Shao made up his mind and refused to bend down, so he sighed and said helplessly: "Ma Mengqi is a generation of heroes, and I naturally admire his name for a long time, and I want to see his demeanor for a long time." It's just that the surnames of those Di people are elusive, and now they are stationed outside the city, in case there is any small misunderstanding with our soldiers, it is not good to rush out, so I can only bother Lao Xiaozhi to greet General Meng Qi on my behalf, I will stay in the city and take care of the soldiers. ”
Fa Zheng saw that Fang Shao was not fooled, so he had no choice but to give up, so he went out of the city with Ma Dai and went to see Ma Chao together, but left Ma Yunlu stationed in the city. And when it was nearly night, Fa Zheng asked someone to send back a message, saying that he had a good time with Ma Chao and wanted to stay in the camp outside the city to drink with him.
Outside the city, Fa was making friends with his fellow villagers, but Fang Shao was patrolling the city by night, and the Ma Chao camp not far away was brightly lit and noisy.
"Ma Chao is so proud of himself, no wonder in the original history, Liu Bei was in a high position but not reused. It's just that Shu Han couldn't attack Qinchuan back then, and Ma Chao didn't make any waves, and now if the troops go out of Qinchuan, Ma Chao's momentum will inevitably recover, so I'm afraid that it will become more and more difficult to control in the future......"
"Hey, Fang or something, what are you doing in a daze?"
A flirtatious voice interrupted Fang Shao's train of thought, he looked for prestige, but saw a figure approaching from the night, it was Ma Yunlu.
