However, Ma Teng didn't agree, and wanted to talk about it. Now that I have lost the battle, I think that this idea will be accepted again.

Seeing that Ma Dai once again raised the matter of requesting reinforcements, Ma Teng was far less vetoed than the first time, but sighed: "We go to ask for help, can the other party accept it?" ”

"It should be possible, after all, once Xiliang is broken, there will be no benefit to his general, and if we can borrow our power to attack Dong Zhuo on both sides, it is very likely that it will be eliminated, at that time, Yongzhou will be ownerless, Zhang Chao can take advantage of the situation to enter, and he will not give up this piece of fat." When Ma Dai said this, he was naturally full of confidence. It's just that there is some bitterness in my heart. Because he knows very well that once this is the case, I am afraid that Xiliang will not feel good, and whoever has a powerful force like Zhang Chao around him will not be able to sleep well. It's just that at the moment, in order to understand the crisis ahead, we can only take one step at a time.

According to Ma Dai's meaning, if he had asked for help earlier, he might be able to get a share of the benefits after Yongzhou was occupied, but now, the situation is completely passive, and he can't mention the matter of asking Zhang Chao for benefits.

"Okay, that's the case, it's time to trouble Dai'er to go and handle this matter, but the military situation is urgent, and it can't be trusted." Ma Teng's face was a little haggard and said, obviously his son was under siege, making him a father who was already in turmoil, that is, the matter of asking for help was handed over to Ma Dai to do, based on previous understanding, this matter could not be done by this person.

"No." Ma Dai is indeed something that cannot be sought. If such a thing is left to someone else to do, he is afraid that he will still be a little uneasy.

After Ma Dai agreed, he made some preparations, took some gold and silver and left Lingju City, bypassing Yunjie and Zhiyang by the path that scouts could walk, and headed in the direction of Luoyang City.

Ma Dai went to ask for help, and passed through several cities in a row, although he took the trail, he was still discovered by the scouts sent by Dong Zhuo and Guan Yu, but no one stopped them, obviously this is exactly what they expected.

If Zhang Chao's reinforcements don't come, they will also have no bottom in their hearts. If you don't destroy the strong enemy, I'm afraid that Xiliang's fat meat will not be so easy to swallow.

In the silence or acquiescence of all parties, Ma Dai finally arrived at Sili safely, and then began to report from here, and he went straight to Jinyang City, which was governed by the state.

In the general's mansion in the city, someone had already reported the news of Ma Dai's arrival at Sili to Zhang Chao, and after he learned about it, he just smiled and said, "Is it finally here?" "There was no comment.

Zhang Chao would have such an attitude, which was originally expected.

For example, the princes except him are all fighting, either trying to expand their territory and strength, or struggling to defend the war. And as the only bystander, how can Zhang Chao sit idly by. Not to mention that these princes originally meant to prepare for the entry of their own armies.

If it weren't for Zhang Chao taking Jizhou and Yuan Shao, I'm afraid the other princes wouldn't be so anxious.

Guo Jia, whether it is other advisers, they have analyzed the situation in front of Zhang Chao, and the results they have come to are unanimous, that is, Xiliang must not be swallowed by Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei like this, otherwise, they will pay more price if they want to capture it.

Zhang Chao also feels the same way about this. Dong Zhuo has no great ability, but his ambition is not small. It's just because of the continuous suppression that this has not formed a larger climate. As the saying goes, he will not allow this person to have any respite.

In the past, because of the elimination of foreign races in the north and the friction with the Rus' Kingdom, he did not use troops against Dong Zhuo. But now, there is a general Zhao Yun in the north, and he can finally spare his energy to solve the affairs of the Central Plains, and Dong Zhuo, who is the weakest, is naturally the first target he wants to solve.

It was precisely because Dong Zhuo knew this that he took the strategy of striking first, and even took the initiative to unite Liu Bei to march to Ma Teng, which was just to find a place to settle down. That is the case, how can Zhang Chao let it succeed.

A long time ago, Zhang Chao was waiting for Ma Teng to come and ask for help. It's just that I never thought that this person was also tough, and he had to rely on his own strength to block Liu and Dong Lianjun. Now that I have lost the battle, and even my two sons are in danger of their lives, do you finally remember yourself?

Ma Dai will come, it has long been expected by Zhang Chao, perhaps in his opinion, even if it is not this person, there will be other people to complete this task. It's just that no matter who comes, he doesn't have to be too anxious, after all, it is Xiliang who is in danger now, not himself.

Therefore, Zhang Chao found the chief military advisor Guo Jia and discussed with him that if he didn't see Ma Dai first, he would dry him first, which would help him in the next negotiations.

Guo Jia understood what Zhang Chao meant, and he agreed. If it was so easy to meet Ma Dai and agree to send troops to support, then the benefits would not be too much. But he is still a little worried, that is, if he can't send reinforcements in time, will Ma Teng and Pound be able to withstand it?

In this regard, Zhang Chao replied, "Fengxiao doesn't have to worry, the Xiliang army is not so easy to deal with, if Guan Yu and Dong Zhuo want to attack in advance, I am afraid it will only be the result of losing both." ”

I don't know where Zhang Chao got these confidences. But Guo Jia considered that the powerful intelligence department, the Tianyan Organization, was in the hands of the lord, perhaps it was their analysis.

Guo Jia agreed and made arrangements. After waiting for Ma Dai to rush to Jinyang City, when he wanted to meet Zhang Chao, he was stopped again and again.

Ma Dai actually entered the city and couldn't see Zhang Chao, so no one else could call the shots about such a big thing as dispatching the army. For a moment, he was anxious. "General Cheng, please go out and inquire, where is the general now, remember, don't be afraid to spend money, the important thing is to find someone first."

The so-called General Cheng is the general Cheng Yin, this person was attached to the Ma clan at the earliest, and he was one of the early old men, this time Ma Dai came, and Ma Teng ordered this person to be brought, so it can be seen that the degree of his trust.

Hearing Ma Dai's order, Cheng Yin immediately hugged his fists and agreed, and then retreated.

Not to mention that money can make ghosts grind, this sentence still makes a lot of sense. After Cheng Yin went out for three days, he inquired about some important information. One of them is that the great general Zhang Chao will recently go to inspect the Zhangjia Weapons Academy, and there is still an approximate time.

Looking at the information obtained, Ma Dai naturally praised Cheng Yin, and then he decided to wait for the rabbit and wait for the appearance of the general on the way to the weapons academy.

Zhangjia Weapons Academy is one of the departments that Zhang Chao attaches great importance to.

This academy is only responsible to Zhang Chao, and the others, even a few military advisors, can't interfere, because there are too many secrets here, and before the world is completely settled, the fewer people who know such secrets, the better.

It is precisely because of Zhang Chao's attention that the defense here in the Weapons Academy is also very strict, that is, if the staff inside wants to go out, they will only be allowed to be allowed if they want to go out. It's just that everyone has no complaints about this, because working here, you can get very rich rewards, and at the same time, your family members outside can also get a lot of special care, which is the treatment that ordinary people yearn for during the war years.

Naturally, this is just a means of prevention. On the issue of internal division of labor, Zhang Chao also made some preparations. Some of the core things are only in the hands of a very small number of people, and everyone else is responsible for a job, even if someone escapes, what they know is only part of the work content, which is not hindered by the overall situation.

With these strict deployments, no one knows what the Zhangjia Weapons Academy is investigating every day. And under Zhang Chao's whimsical ideas that are too much knowledge higher than modern times, the Weapons Academy is developing rapidly at a speed unknown to outsiders.

Externally, of course, this is a weapons factory, where the armor, knives, and shields used by the soldiers are all produced.

Because of the importance of the Weapons Academy, as long as Zhang Chaoren is in Jinyang City, he will always take a look at it every once in a while. On that day, it was the day for him to go on his rounds.

In the morning, there were five hundred brocade guards in front of the general's mansion, and they were majestically guarding in front of the mansion, and each soldier was armed from head to toe, and under the armor as black as ink, it gave people a sense of murder.

By the morning, there were two hundred more majestic guards in front of the General's Mansion with more majestic bodies and more refined armor. Seeing these people come out, they know that the general Zhang Chao is going out.

Zhang Chao is indeed going to the Weapons Academy today to inspect and see how a research result is progressing there. He had received the news a few days earlier that the drawing of the wheelbarrow he had drawn earlier had now been made, and was waiting for him to go and inspect it.

The so-called wheelbarrow is the wooden ox and flowing horse built by Zhuge Liang in history.

This car used it to transport military rations on the rugged plank road, and "people do not work hard, and cattle do not eat". However, it can solve the problem of grain and grass transportation for the army, which is more advanced than some of the current means of transportation, does not use energy, and will not cause an energy crisis.

This is also no way, science and technology are underdeveloped, so some of Zhang Chao's ideas cannot be realized, such as guns and other things naturally cannot be made, otherwise, I am afraid that no one can resist.

It's just that although more sophisticated firearms cannot be manufactured, under Zhang Chao's proposal, gunpowder has also been refined in advance.
