Chapter 336: The Best Sacrifice
Zhang Lu also knew that Ma Chao had been wronged under his command.
What kind of person was Ma Chao before, that was the official general of the imperial court, not long ago, he also called himself Liangzhou Mu and Zhengxi General, and his level was higher than Zhang Lu's, and he didn't know where Gao Ming was.
But what could he do?
Ma Chao was not recruited by him, and he already told Ma Chao that sacrificial wine is already the limit of the limit, so it is impossible for him to be a teacher, right? The problem is that let him be an estimator, and Ma Chao doesn't have the guts.
A few days ago, he proposed that he wanted to marry his daughter to Ma Chao, at least the family was easy to talk to, and it was not too bad for Ma Chao. But his subordinates all said that Ma Chao was capricious, and he was exactly the same as Lu Bu back then in terms of martial arts and pit his father (father-in-law), and Zhang Lu had to consider the consequences of accepting him as a son-in-law.
Zhang Lu could have said that his mana was strong and he was not afraid of Ma Chao, but he pondered for a long time as if his mana had not reached such a high level, so he could only nod his head to indicate that he was as good as a stream, and it was better to be careful to beware of Ma Chao.
To be honest, the products of Hanzhong are not bad for Ma Chao's few mouthfuls of food, and it is not bad to keep him at home.
But a few days later, Zhang Lu heard a piece of news that made him almost lose his soul - Liu Bei and Liu Zhang had turned their faces, and the two sides officially went to war.
Liu Zhang couldn't even beat Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu was sure that it was only a matter of time before Liu Bei won.
He now has the heart to go south to help Liu Zhang deal with Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei will definitely go north directly when he turns around, and these soldiers and horses under him will never be able to resist, and the future will definitely be very bleak.
The only way now is to seize the time to serve King Wei! But......
"Is Han Sui really dead?"
"It's really dead, but Cheng Gongying under his command is unwilling to surrender, he gathered heavy troops, and now he is still near Ji County, unless the soldiers and horses of Yunshan are looted, it is difficult to get grain, and it is not necessarily enough to consume Cheng Gongying, we are safe and sound in Hanzhong, and Shijun can rest assured." Yang Ang has been paying attention to the situation in Liangzhou, and when he heard that the two sides have fallen into a long-term confrontation again, and Han Sui is still dead, he can't help but be happy.
Zhang Lu was sweating profusely when he heard this.
If this is the case, isn't it really going to fall into Liu Bei's hands?
Damn, you have to find a way.
By the way, General Yun is short of food, but I do.
Hey, I have, but how do I send it to him......
Zhang Lu pondered for a long time, and the best way to do it was to let Yunshan hurry up and win this battle, and when he went south, he would directly surrender the county without losing the position of the marquis. But he couldn't say that he would send food to Yunshan, and let these sect members under his command deliberately go to Yunshan to send him to death, just for fear that he would be misunderstood by Yunshan again.
After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of someone.
"Put, uh, no, please Ma Mengqi!"
"Master, why did you invite him?" Yang Ang asked curiously.
"Leave it alone, go quickly."
Yang Ang smiled all over his face and nodded:
"I knew that Shijun was going to arrange for Ma Chao to do something."
Zhang Lu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that Yang Ang was really causing trouble for himself, he had brought Ma Chao before, and no matter how to solve Ma Chao's resentment, he would completely leave it to Zhang Lu to deal with, Zhang Lu's anger was full of smoke but he was helpless, and he could only continue to pretend to be light-hearted, indicating that everything was under control.
After Ma Chao came to Hanzhong, he only met with Zhang Lu in public a few times, and he never came to Zhang Lu's heavily guarded Taoist temple.
Under the guidance of his attendants and servants, he walked a long road paved with black and white stone slabs, and only then did he enter Zhang Lu's cultivation place and see the dignity of this five-bucket rice great heavenly master.
Now Zhang Lu is dressed in a Taoist robe, and there are two bronze incense burners in front of him, and the green smoke of sandalwood is intertwined, which makes Zhang Lu's face a little blurred.
Ma Chao didn't dare to look at Zhang Lu directly, so he could only bow down humbly and said softly:
"Ma Chao meets Shijun."
Zhang Lu snorted and said expressionlessly:
"Meng Qi, do you know what I asked you to do?"
"Please also show the master!"
"Huh. Meng Qi misses his homeland in Liangzhou? β
Zhang Lu's words made Ma Chao's heart twitch suddenly, he was still thinking about how to persuade Zhang Lu to let him send troops on the way here, but he didn't expect Zhang Lu to take the initiative to mention it.
He stubbornly said:
"The soldier misses his homeland, and his ability is long, Ma Chao deeply feels the grace of the master to take him in, if the master does not give up, he is willing to ......"
"No, no, no!" Zhang Lu, who was still breezy before, hurriedly got up, "It's not necessary, the poor road doesn't accept the righteous son." β
"Well, I mean I want to help Shijun open up the territory and bring Liangzhou under the rule of Wudoumi."
"Oh, that's what you said." Zhang Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down slowly, and continued to say lightly behind the green smoke, "That's it, Meng Qi, I know that you have always wanted to go home, and my small temple in Han is not a place for heroesβcome here!" β
Ma Chao was startled, and thought that five hundred knife and axe men were going to come forward to chop themselves into meat sauce, he hurriedly pressed his sword with his hand and prepared to hold Zhang Lu hostage, but he didn't expect that there were only two servants who gave an order, each holding a gold plate, one gold plate was placed in an antique peach wood token, and the other gold plate was placed in a jade carved tiger talisman.
Zhang Lu looked at Ma Chao with a stunned face, and said leisurely: "This token is the treasure of my five buckets of rice, and it is engraved by the ancestors themselves.
This jade tiger talisman is carved by my own hands, you hold this thing, you can get grain, rice and ten thousand stones, if there is still a shortage, although you hold this thing to ask, don't be polite to me! β
"This ......"
Ma Chao thought that Zhang Lu was just taking advantage of himself, and he didn't bother to take care of himself for so long before, but he didn't expect ......
"Meng Qi is a hero in the world, heroes are in trouble, and their hearts must be angry, I can't bear to see each other before, because I am afraid that Meng Qi will have some misunderstanding under his grief and indignation, thinking that I want to mock the general.
These days I have lived in Hanzhong for a long time, and I want to come to the general has already let go of the obsession in my heart, and I will send the general back to my hometown at this time, and I want to come to the general...... Hehe, there won't be any more misunderstandings, right?! β
"No, no, no, there was no misunderstanding, there was no misunderstanding!"
Ma Chao was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed to the ground, and sincerely bowed to Zhang Lu.
He has experienced the warmth and coldness of people these days, and gradually felt his stupidity in the past, Zhang Lu was so good to himself, he made up his mind to change his previous life in the future, and he must work hard this time.
At least......
To recover Liangzhou!
"Don't worry! Cheng Gongying is my old acquaintance.
Han Sui is dead, and now the dragons of Liangzhou have no leader, I am willing to say that he will be reduced to Gongying and use the land of Liangzhou to serve Shijun. β
Zhang Lu's smile froze on his face.
cough, Liangzhou gave it to me again, didn't it give it to Liu Bei Hanzhong and then give it to Liangzhou for nothing? What is your relationship with Liu Bei?
Your Ma Chao's reputation is stinking for ten miles, and after King Wei catches you, he will definitely correct the Fa, and I can't send you to death like you.
It took him a lot of effort to calm his expression a little, and he said:
"I am suitable to observe the stars, and I have a lot of experience, thinking that this person in Yunshan has a fate with my teaching, and he has a lot of ...... for creation."
"Shijun, isn't it daytime?"
Zhang Lu coughed and said solemnly:
"This golden crow is also one of the stars, but you are mortal with the naked eye, and I don't know why.
Well, in short, this Yunshan has a fate with my teaching, and you need to talk to him with great things, and you can't fight with him at will.
But it became a gongying...... That Cheng Gongying was born with a bad spirit, and he was born to be contrary to my teaching, if he can get rid of this person, it is a great merit, you can know. β
Ma Chao didn't really understand what Zhang Lu was talking about, but out of admiration for Zhang Lu, he still nodded seriously, with a trace of tears in his eyes.
Hey, Shijun said that he was going to attack Cheng Gongying, but how could I fight him at this juncture, I could only come down first.
"My subordinates understand that after so many years, there are very few people who treat me like Shijun, and I will definitely do my best to work for Shijun!"
Zhang Lu hummed twice, Ma Chao's acting skills are really good, if I didn't know that this person is capricious, I would take it seriously.
However, his acting skills are also quite good, so he simply got up and gently touched the top of Ma Chao's head, and he was even more sure in his heart.
Ma Chao is brave and unscrupulous, and there are not many soldiers under him, and he will definitely be targeted by everyone if he carries a large amount of grain and grass over.
With these grains, General Yun should be able to defeat Cheng Gongying, and when the time comes, ...... Hum.
People like Ma Chao are really not distressed when they die.
