Chapter 129: Jia Xu's Arrival
Ma Dai burst into tears, raised his head and said, "Brother, it's all because my brother is not good, and he easily fell for Han Sui's old thief's plan." If it weren't for my brother who saw through Han Sui's plan, then our siege and annihilation battle would have been in vain. Brother, punish your brother! Woohoo......"
"Okay, anyway, our army has won this battle, and he is trapped in the lonely city. Didn't you defeat Liang Xing? This is also a military merit, no need to blame yourself! ”
"Nope! The elder brother loves the younger brother, and the younger brother understands it. But if you don't punish him, the little brother will be uneasy in his heart! ”
Ma Chao knew that Ma Dai was stubborn, so he didn't help him, waved his hand and called a few pro-soldiers, and said, "Ma Dai is planning to almost let Han Sui go." Come on, pull him and beat him with fifty sticks! ”
"Yes!"
Ma Dai, who was dragged away, smiled: "Brother Xie! ”
Ma Chao shook his head, seeing that he was very distressed to be dragged to the ground, after all, he was his own brother. Not far away, the dull sound of a military stick hitting the flesh sounded, and Ma Chao could tell from the voice that the military judge did not show mercy because of Ma Dai's identity. Ma Chao knew that Ma Dai must be enduring the pain and not screaming out. However, after hitting twenty sticks, it is difficult to say that he can't make a sound. Ma Chao couldn't bear to hear Ma Dai screaming in pain, so he hurried into the camp.
At this moment, suddenly there was another sound of horses' hooves outside the barracks. Ma Chao looked over, and Ma Dai's troops were marching into the camp on foot with groups of descendants. In addition, dozens of horsemen, under the banner of his father Ma Teng, rushed into the camp gate.
Ma Chao's heart suddenly became vigilant, remembering the prophecy of the two scribes about the imperial court. Sure enough, the leader of the dozens of horsemen handed over Ma Teng's letter to him, and he saw that in addition to the reward for the imperial court, it was the movement of the three-way army of the imperial court. Ma Teng also said in the letter that he was afraid that by the time the letter was delivered to him, the three-way army had already gathered and marched towards Chencang.
Huangfu Song, Yuan Peng, Zhou Shen, Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong, others can say that Ma Chao is extremely jealous of Dong Zhuo, this ruthless man who will push Xuanhe's Han Empire into the fire pit in the future.
After reading the letter, the first thing Ma Chao did was to hurry to the barracks and prison. The tribal carried out his order to "keep the good life in custody" well, and the prisoners were generally kept in prisons, while the two scribes were tightly chained in shackles and chained to a pillar with heavy leg shackles, like tying horses.
Despite this, the two of them happily sat on the ground, with their backs against the pillar, crossed Erlang's legs, and talked with a smile on their faces. Seeing that Ma Chao was coming, the two were not in a hurry to stand up. Ma Chao stood in front of the two.
The thin scribe said casually: "The general is here, but he has received a letter from Ling Zun about the imperial court?" ”
Ma Chao was a little surprised, but still said expressionlessly: "How do you know? ”
"Guess."
"Does Sir guess so accurately every time?" Ma Chao said.
The two were still entrenched on the ground, and the thin Confucian man smiled: "It's not a ghost or god below, how can you guess it accurately every time?" ”
Ma Chao sneered: "Although it is not a ghost or god, it can be called mysterious." ”
Jia Xu and Yan Zhong bowed slightly.
Ma Chao didn't want to give the rampant two people a good look, after all, they still wanted to manipulate him. just said lightly: "I am grateful to the two of you who sacrificed their lives to rescue." ”
"That's how grateful the general is for saving his life?" Yan Zhong said with a smile.
Ma Chao sneered: "How do you know that once I destroy Han Sui, I will be completely defeated by the army of the imperial court?" Is it just Huangfu Song? Just ride with 100,000 steps? ”
"That's right. The general is already confident that he will be able to fight the lion if his foundation in Liangzhou is not stable, and he will naturally be invincible. Huangfu Song is nothing, it's just the battle of Changshe! Jia Xu laughed.
Ma Chao was not annoyed, and said that these two people could be used, so he wanted to knock and knock. Ma Chao said: "Both of them seem to be resourceful. What will happen if you know that the wise man is here? ”
"I don't know, please give the general advice."
Ma Chao wandered and said: "If it is a low-grade person, use it and be rich; If it is a person who is arrogant and arrogant, and a person who is proud of his merits, he will be killed. ”
Both of them were a little weak and stopped laughing. After all, the two of them originally wanted to take refuge, and they wanted to deter Li Xiangru and Huang Yan by means of letting Ma Chao reuse them from now on. In this way, they with a high profile can always maintain a high position, and Ma Chao will be polite to them in the future, and it is best to be a disciple. The scholars are a little arrogant and refuse to be inferior to others. The minds of the scholars are that the best man is inferior to them.
Jia Xu now knows that Ma Chao is not a fool like Li Xiangru and Huang Yan after all. It is obviously inappropriate to use the way to deal with Li Xiangru and Huang Yan on him.
Ma Chao has long understood this stinky temper of scholars, for example, he thinks that Jia Xu, the most powerful strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, has always put his people under him, whether it is Emperor Han Xian, Li Dao, Guo Yan, he has to be polite, Zhang Xiu even treated him very respectfully, like a nephew; Cao Pi was even more respectful to him, because Jia Xu persuaded Cao Cao to become a leader.
But Ma Chaocai doesn't eat this set, he thinks that whoever is the master of the man should have the prestige of the master, and you still want to be above the top when you live under the people, isn't this death?
The fat and thin people in front of them, who are not well-known, still dare to be so arrogant in front of them. Ma Chao thought to himself, even if one of them was Jia Xu, he would not change his attitude at all.
Ma Chao smiled: "Do the two gentlemen know how to train horses?" ”
The two said flatly: "I don't know." The general gave advice. ”
Ma Chao remembered the famous words of the female emperor, so he smiled and said: "If there is a fierce horse, as a horse and refuses to be ridden by others, then I will tame him." I don't need to hold it, I only need three things: an iron whip, an iron rod, and a dagger. Beat it with an iron whip first; If it still refuses, hit it on the head with an iron rod; If it still refuses, it will cut its throat with a dagger. The two gentlemen thought about it, if they used this method to tame horses, why would any horse not obey? Let's talk about it, how wonderful is my method? ”
Jia Xu and Yan Zhong glanced at each other, and after exchanging glances, they both said honestly: "Very wonderful, very wonderful." The talent of the general, I can't wait. ”
Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction, this is the words of the female emperor, even if it is a hero such as Taizong, he feels shocked when he hears it, let alone two scribes?
Ma Chao said with a smile: "Come on, the two gentlemen are kind to me, you can't be detained, and you can untie me." ”
"Yui." The guards freed the two men.
"Thank you, General, for your leniency."
Ma Chao knew it and said with a smile: "I haven't asked the two names yet." ”
"Under the surname Jia Ming, the character Wen and."
"Under the surname Yan Mingzhong, the word is Mingxin."
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, a little suspicious if he had heard it wrong, and said, "What did you say your name was?" ”
Jia Xu was a little distressed, thinking that this was Buyi, no one would care about a mere cloth, not even the name.
Jia Xu said again: "Back to the general, the next surname is Jia Mingxu Wenhe." ”
