Ma Chao and Guo Huai were beaten to two bloods, Guo Huai passed out even more, the viewers were shocked, no one could have imagined that Xu Shu, who looked gentle and elegant, would enforce the law so strictly.

Ma Dai gritted his teeth and waited until the execution was completed, and hurriedly ordered someone to carry the two down for treatment, and asked Pang De to go back to the barracks first to appease the army, and then come to the government to report the news.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of laughter from inside, and when I looked up, I saw Xu Shu and Li Yan sitting opposite each other and drinking, talking and laughing, and suddenly became angry.

Punished Ma Chao just now, Xu Shu was still full of sadness, my eldest brother was beaten outside, and he was in pain to death, but you are eating and drinking here, and sure enough, all the scholars are hypocrites.

Thinking of pleading for Ma Chao just now, he did not hesitate to kneel down, becoming more and more annoyed, striding up two or three steps, he wanted to reprimand Xu Shu, and escorted Ma Chao back to Xiliang with the Xiliang army.

When I arrived at the door, I heard Li Yan laugh and said: "Yuan Zhi is so painstaking, if he can wear down Meng Qi's temperament, I will have one more tiger general!" ”

Xu Shu sighed: "Meng Qi has been a prince for generations, pampered since childhood, and because of his natural divine power, he is invincible, and he doesn't know the height of the sky. ”

Ma Dai was stunned when he heard this, and hid behind the pillar at the door, listening carefully to the discussion between the two of them.

Li Yanyan said: "This is extremely true! This time, fortunately, Meng Qi was left in Luoyang, if he had been sent to the Central Plains to support, under the command of Zhuge and the strictness of Kong Ming's army, I was afraid that at this time, I would have been hanging my head at this time, how could I be allowed to intercede. ”

Ma Dai was moved when he heard this, and only then did he understand that Xu Shu was taking the opportunity to beat Ma Chao, and suddenly he was glad that this time he was under the command of an acquaintance, and Xu Shu still remembered the old feelings.

But I heard Xu Shu say again: "Although Meng Qi commands the army, except for the difficulties of Jincheng, he has experienced few hardships, and he is pure gold and jade, and he still needs to be sharpened." The Xiliang army has been arrogant for a long time, often violating military law, and sooner or later it will affect him. ”

Li Yan nodded and said: "I heard that those who govern the army well must put the law first, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so that they can serve the public. ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Victory and defeat are common things, I don't know whether I am right or wrong!" In the past, he discussed with Kong Ming about governing the army, and the difference between victory and defeat was not in the number of soldiers, but in the ears of the main general. If the general is incompetent, what is the use of having more soldiers? If Meng Qi goes through this experience, he can be ashamed and brave, and he can chase after his Zuma to aid the general! ”

Li Yan raised his glass and laughed: "Everyone says that the lord has a sleeping dragon and phoenix, and the world can be determined. ”

Ma Dai listened with shame at the door, secretly scolded himself for being a villain, stretched out his hand and slapped himself, and then walked into the lobby and told him about the execution.

Xu Shu sighed: "It's not that I turn my face and be ruthless, but because I am entrusted by the lord and don't dare to show favoritism, the general must appease the army, don't mess with yourself, and be laughed at by the world." ”

Ma Dai hugged his fists and said: "Brother disobeyed the order first, we have no complaints, please rest assured." ”

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, nodded and said, "I will send Meng Qi back to Luoyang tomorrow, and I will visit him later." ”

After Ma Dai left, Li Yanhu sighed again: "Yuan Zhi beat Ma Chao this time, although he was attentive, but it was a pity that Guo Huai was punished. ”

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Guo Huai is young and vigorous, and he often thinks that I don't need to do anything, and I am not convinced, and this time I also let him know that using soldiers is not a child's play, and it cannot be taken for granted." ”

"Guo Huai is also among the beatings?" Li Yan's hand raised his glass slightly, and suddenly exclaimed: "Yuan Zhi sent Guo Huai to join the army as Ma Chao, isn't it ......"

"Shh Xu Shu motioned to Li Yan to whisper, and said: "I have been confronting Xu Huang for a long time, and it is actually okay for Meng Qi to send troops, if it really has a miraculous effect, I will respond." However, although this battle is lost, my plan will also be successful, and within half a month, I will take Hanoi. ”

Li Yan nodded: "The tiger also has a nap, Xu Huang is so vigilant day and night, and the Wei army is safe for a long time?" Now Meng Qi and Guo Huai can't lead the troops, if the military division is sent, the last general is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses. ”

Xu Shu also knew that Li Yan was not willing to only transport grain in the rear, and said with a smile: "The general will stay in the army for the time being, and I have my own arrangements." ”

Li Yan was overjoyed, so he took out the money and grain account book from his arms and showed it to Xu Shu for accounting.

Ma Daiben rushed to the barracks, and on the way remembered Xu Shu's worry just now, and was afraid that Ma Chao would misunderstand and resent, so he turned around to visit the injury again.

In the camp, the military doctor had already given Ma Chao gold sore medicine, and he was lying on the couch with a pale face, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Ma Dai waved back left and right, checked Ma Chao's injury, and said angrily: "My brother has been since he was a child, and even his uncle is reluctant to move a finger, and the Qiang people have never hurt you in the slightest, but now you are beaten by this, is it unbearable?" ”

Ma Chao sucked in the cold air and smiled: "What is a little injury?" Blame me for my earnestness, messing up the law, being straight to me and being kind, don't make him embarrassed. ”

Ma Dai said angrily: "In vain, you and I trust Xu Shu so much, I didn't expect him to be a hypocritical villain, since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, it is better to return to Xiliang with troops." We serve our elder brother as the lord of Xiliang and stand on our own, how free and majestic, why should we suffer this humiliation? ”

"Bastard, hiss-" Ma Chao got up from the bed angrily, bared his teeth, pointed at Ma Dai and shouted: "The Ma family has been a prince for generations, all of them are loyal and good, how can they stand on their own?" When we take revenge and glorify our ancestors, what is your intention in saying this? ”

Ma Dai was stunned and said: "My brother has been in awe since he was a child, and everyone is in awe, and the Qiang people are even regarded as the general of Shenweitian, but he was humiliated by Xu Shu in front of the three armies, how can everyone swallow this breath?" To punish our brother like this is to slap us in the face! ”

"You know ......" Ma Chao resisted the urge to scold, shook his head and sighed: "The lord has a good saying: the naïve is not attacked. Yuan Zhi blamed me heavily this time, but it made me sober up a lot: the state has national laws, and the family has family rules. The land of the Central Plains is not cooler than the West, and you and I have served General Liu as the Lord to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and we should obey the law. ”

Ma Dai asked again: "Brother really has no resentment in his heart?" ”

"If there is no lord to send Yuan Zhi thousands of miles to rescue, how can you and me be today?" Ma Chao sighed lightly: "The eldest husband should repay his kindness, but the dragon and crouching tiger under the command of the lord are not lacking in you and me, and if you don't make any efforts, it's too late!" After I leave, you let them all restrain Lao Tzu, whoever embarrasses Xiliang Jun again, I tell him not to go back to his hometown. ”

Ma Dai suddenly laughed: "Brother, this beating, after all, was not in vain!" ”

Ma Chao glared: "You kid dare to laugh at me?" ”

Ma Dai helped Ma Chao to lie down and told Ma Chao what he heard outside the mansion one by one, and he had no complaints, which showed that the two of them took care of each other.

"Good boy, you have come to test me?" Ma Chao scolded with a smile, his heart became more and more moved, and he sighed: "Xu Yuanzhi's favor, I can't pay it off in my life." ”
