Ma Chao was stunned again.

Who Cai Weng is, he knows, when he was ordered by his father Ma Teng, he led the Western Liang Jing to ride eastward to Luoyang, and participated in the Guanxi and Kwantung coalition wars, he had heard that Lu Bu killed the Southern Xiongnu Yufuluo in Hedong, and heard that Lu Bu did this for Cai Weng's daughter Cai Yan.

He has also heard that Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Weng, is very talented, but only married to the Hedong Wei family for only one year, and her husband Wei Zhongdao died of a serious illness, so she is a little widow living in her mother's house.

The wonder in his heart made Ma Chao couldn't help but ask out loud: "I heard that Cai Weng's daughter has ......"

Ma Chao's deep groan, it was he who felt that he was not suitable to ask for the latter words, but Jia Xu's reaction was very calm, hahadaxiao replied: "Yes, Cai Weng's daughter is named Yan, the word Zhaoji, outstanding talent, unparalleled beauty, once married into the Hedong Wei family, after the widow, returned to Cai Weng to serve, this time the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother drove into the Guanzhong, the Queen Mother personally said that the matchmaker, as soon as the New Year passes, it is the day of the lord's wedding." ”

"Outstanding talent and beauty."

Ma Chao muttered these two sentences in a low voice, as if he didn't believe it a little.

Jia Xu nodded and responded: "Cai Weng once sighed because of the death of the late Taiwei Dong Zhuo, was imprisoned by Wang Yun, who was Situ at the time, and then migrated to the border, and was left in Taiyuan by the lord. ”

Ma Chao has never seen Cai Yan, but after hearing Jia Xu say this, he knows that most of this is true. Pang Rou on the side interjected and asked, "General Che Cai has recently pacified Guanzhong, will his next step be to send troops to Xiliang?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head. replied: "If Xiliang is entrenched by Han Sui, the next step for the lord is, of course, to send troops to Xiliang, otherwise, Xiliang hangs above Guanzhong's head, and the court is safe?" But now, there are General Zhengnan and Major General ......"

After a long groan, Jia Xu turned to Ma Chao, put down the topic he had just said, and said earnestly: "...... The lord also asked Xu to convey the matter. Invite General Zhengnan to Chang'an to recuperate, there is a miracle doctor, and General Zhengnan should be able to recover day by day. ”

Pang Rou consciously closed her mouth, and when it came to this matter, it was no longer for him to interject.

Ma Chao frowned slightly. He asked in a deep voice: "Is the general of the Che Cavalry using his father's illness as a threat?" ”

Jia Xu hahadaxiao shook his head and replied, "Definitely." The lord is just worried about the relationship between the father and son of the young general. Respect for General Zhengnan, just so kindly invited. Whether General Zhengnan went to Chang'an to recuperate or stayed in Xiliang, it did not affect what the lord said earlier. Besides......"

Jia Xu leaned forward slightly, smiled, and asked Ma Chao rhetorically, "...... Moreover, with the power of the Lord. Do you still need to use General Zhengnan to blackmail the major general? ”

"Humph!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, and spoke very directly and mercilessly, "To blackmail others." The general of the chariot rider came as soon as he stretched out his hand. ”

Jia Xu glanced at Dian Wei, smiled, and replied: "What the young general is referring to is what the captain put into the main account." ”

Ma Chao also glanced at Dian Wei, nodded, and did not say a word.

Jia Xu's face did not change, and replied calmly: "This matter is the captain of the school, from his point of view, wouldn't it be clearer and clearer." ”

Dian Wei looked at Ma Chao with a strong anger, and in a few words, he was about to describe the situation in the black mountain thief's lair in Cangyan Valley, Lugu Mountain, and then summarized angrily: "Later, I realized that the lord was just talking at that time. ”

After speaking, Dian Wei shut up and refused to say a superfluous word.

Jia Xu haha smiled, took Dian Wei's words, and said to Ma Chao and Pang Rou: "Captain Dian is a straightforward person, what do you say......

"Hmph, he is now also a chariot cavalry general, and of course he is talking for the chariot general."

Jia Xu asked rhetorically: "It has been a long time before the captain serves sincerely, and the young general will not resist first and then willingly like the captain of the school?" ”

Ma Chao's color immediately changed, as if he wanted him to recognize Lu Bu as the lord, which was a very insulting thing for him, Pang Rou hurriedly interjected: "Leave this matter aside for the time being, the general of the chariot cavalry is gracious, and the lord of Rou has thanked him." However, what about the warm invitation of the general of the cavalry, and what if he didn't? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The invitation of the lord is not to be strong with the general and the major general, it doesn't matter whether to follow or not, even if the general of Zhengnan enters Chang'an to recuperate, the major general is still determined not to serve the lord's account, and the lord will, as always, treat the general Zhengnan well, at this point, the major general and General Pang can rest assured." However, once Han Sui breaks through Hanyang, the lord will go out of Xiliang, and the major general and General Pang will not have any objections to this. ”

Once Han Sui broke through Hanyang, it meant that the Ma family army led by Ma Chao was completely expelled from Xiliang by Han Sui.

Ma Chao snorted coldly again, and replied proudly: "If Ma is defeated, even if he is put into the account of the general of the chariot, what is the matter?" ”

Jia Xu hahadaxiao, said hello repeatedly, and happily said to Ma Chao: "Okay, the young general is really heroic, and he is heroic." In this way, the major general is ...... about the fact that General Zhengnan entered Chang'an to recuperate No objections? ”

Pang Rou also looked at Ma Chao, and in his heart, he still felt a little unbelievable that Lu Bu treated the young master Ma Chao and the main male Ma Teng so favorably.

Today's Ma Jiajun, the main male Ma Teng is poisoned and cannot be controlled, although the young master Ma Chao is brave, but after all, he is young, and in the face of Han Sui's various conspiracies, even he has a headache and is very difficult to deal with, not to mention the young master Ma Chao, who is younger than him.

After losing the Longxi Didao that held the throat of Jincheng, the Ma family army retreated all the way east, and lost the entire Longxi County, although the Ma family army is still a big shili in Xiliang, but there is only one county left in Hanyang, not to mention participating in the world hegemony, it is to dominate Xiliang, and now it seems that it is difficult.

At this time, if Lu Bu allied with Han Sui and attacked Hanyang on his back, he could easily enter Hanyang; Even if he didn't do this, he could secretly unite with Han Sui, and openly win over General Zhengnan and the young master, and he could also realize the plan of bringing the young master under his account.

But now, looking at what Jia Xu said, the general of the chariot cavalry, Lu Bu, seems to be unwilling to pay attention to Jincheng Han Suili. Not to mention alliances.

No, could it be that Jia Xu came to Hanyang on the surface, but secretly, Lu Bu, the general of the chariot cavalry, still sent people to Jincheng?

Pang Rou's heart was full of thoughts, his mood was already up and down, thinking of the assassination that happened last night, and the fact that he had just cut off so many heads, he laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart. Put your mind at ease.

After Jincheng Han Sui did such an unpleasant thing, no matter how he tried to make up for it, he was afraid that it would be difficult for Lu Bu, the general of the chariot cavalry, to put his mind at ease with him.

Just when Pang Rou was thinking nonsense in her heart, Ma Chao was also there and pondered, from the perspective of father and son. He should not hesitate to agree to the invitation of the cavalry general Lu Buzhi, from the perspective of the successor commander of the Ma Jiajun. It's a lot more complicated. There are trade-offs that need to be weighed well.

Jia Xu was not in a hurry at all, Haha smiled, stood up, waved his hands at Ma Chao and Pang Rou, and said goodbye: "Young General, General Pang." This matter is said to be big and small, and the major general may wish to think about it again, it is getting late. Say goodbye to this. ”

Seeing off Jia Xu and Dian Wei, Pang Rou and Ma Chao returned to the study and sat down again, and in this space, two new desks had been placed in.

After thinking about it for so long, Ma Chao still hesitated, and his frowning brows showed his inner struggle.

Pang Rou felt a pain in his heart, although the young master Ma Chao in front of him, although he was the successor commander of the Ma Jiajun, but in fact, he was still a big child who had not yet performed the crown salute, and his immature shoulders were now forced by the situation, and he was burdened with such a heavy burden on his back, the life and death of his family, and the life and death of thousands of soldiers, all of which were pressed on his shoulders.

Now, he has to make such an indecisive choice, that is, Pang Rou, thinking about it secretly, feels a little nervous in his heart.

Taking a deep breath and secretly sighing in her heart, Pang Rou pondered for a moment and asked slowly: "Young Master, Jincheng Han Sui, Che Cavalry General Lu Bu, who is the real enemy of the Young Master now?" ”

Ma Chao frowned slightly, and replied without thinking: "Of course it's Jincheng Hansui." ”

Pang Rou was noncommittal about this, and continued to ask: "What about the chariot general Lu Bu, one day, the young master will be his enemy?" ”

Ma Chao's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he looked at Pang Rou, unable to comprehend what Pang Rou wanted to say for a while, so he was silent.

Pang Rou didn't seem to see Ma Chao's expression, and his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he continued to ask: "If the young master can capture Han Sui and unify the ten counties of Liangzhou, will he be the enemy of the Che Cavalry General?" ”

Ma Chao suddenly woke up and understood what Pang Rou said.

There is no necessary connection between the capture and killing of Han Sui and the unification of the ten counties of Liangzhou.

Today's Xiliang, although it is Han Sui's Jincheng Army, and the Ma Jiajun are competing for hegemony, but in fact, the Ma Jiajun now only has one county in Hanyang, and Han Sui only has two counties in Jincheng and Longxi, not to mention the remaining Beidi, Anding, and Wuwei counties, which are adjacent to Hanyang and Longxi.

But in fact, Ma Chao knows very well in his heart that with Ma Jiajun's current internal and external difficulties, let alone unifying the ten counties of Liangzhou, even if he captures and kills Han Sui, he will not be able to catch it.

Even if, in 10,000 steps, he can capture Han Sui and unify the ten counties of Liangzhou, will he definitely be able to compete with the cavalry general Lu Bu?

Ma Chao just thought about it a little, and felt that this answer might not be good, because whether it was to capture Han Sui or unify the ten counties of Liangzhou, it would take time, and during this time, how much would the strength of the cavalry general Lu Bu swell?

Thinking about it further along with the idea provided by Pang Rou, Ma Chao reluctantly found that he and Lu Bu were like rolling a snowball, but the snowball in his hand had melted and dissolved a lot, while the snowball in Lu Bu's hand was getting bigger and bigger, and it had already rolled to him.

Suddenly, a huge and incomparable pressure rose in his consciousness, making him feel a sense of powerlessness all over his body, and the whole person seemed to be unable to bear the weight of invisible pressure, supporting the desk with both hands, and his face was in pain. (To be continued......)
