Ma Chao finally made sure that he had heard correctly, but he was still a little uncertain: who knew that this "Jia Xu" was the "Jia Xu" in history?

Ma Chao took a step forward and asked, "Origin?" ”

Jia Xu and Yan Zhong were a little surprised, Jia Xu thought that Ma Chao didn't know about his existence, but now that he looks, it seems that Ma Chao is quite familiar with him.

"In the lower is Wuwei Gu Zang Ren clan."

Whew, it's finally decided. Ma Chao thought that his expectations would be disappointed. Unexpectedly, the one standing in front of him was Jia Xu, the Jia Xu who once stirred up the storm! If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others would not have counterattacked Chang'an, and the Han Dynasty might still have a chance to continue; If it weren't for him, Cao Cao would have taken a small Nanyang long ago, and would not have lost Cao Ang, Cao Anmin and Dian Wei; If it weren't for him, the King of Wei would be Cao Zhi, not Cao Pi; If Cao Cao had listened to him, there would have been no defeat at Chibi.

This living Jia Xu actually stood in front of him alive. Now Ma Chao is no longer puzzled, just relying on these two people and no one to instruct him, he can plan a strange plot that affects the situation in Xiliang by blocking the road by fire; I don't wonder why these two people were able to strategize and easily judge that the imperial court had already sent troops. Because, this is Jia Xu!

And the other person, Yan Zhong, is also a famous person in Liangdi. If he joins the service, the scholars of the Western Liang Land will come one after another, and he can firmly rule Liangzhou.

Realizing the importance of the two, Ma Chao really wanted to treat the two of them well, but suddenly it occurred to him that he had intimidated them just now, and if he was respectful, he was afraid that he would make them look down on them.

So he still said proudly: "Oh, look up for a long time." ”

Jia Xu and Yan Zhong watched Ma Chao's ideological struggle, somehow. Seeing that Ma Chao was back to normal, he no longer doubted and said, "The general is polite." ”

Ma Chao said: "The imperial court has canonized Jia Yan as the history of the Xiliang Thorn and the captain of Huqiang, and canonized me as the general of Shenwei, and the Yellow Gate that gave me an edict is on the way, and it will arrive soon." You both understand what this means, right? ”

Jia Xu and Yan Zhong were very happy when they heard this. Yan Zhong said: "Congratulations to the general, you can justifiably take charge of Xiliang in the future." ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Our army has all the personnel, but there is a lack of military advisors. The two of them are kind to me, and they judged that the court took action and designed to protect Han Sui, so they must be very talented. I want to worship the two of them as a military advisor and paint a military plane for me, I wonder if the two gentlemen are interested? ”

Jia Xu and Yan Zhong looked at each other and smiled, and after ups and downs, they finally achieved the set goal. The two hurriedly bowed: "In the next order, in the future, the young master will be allowed to drive." ”

Ma Chao personally helped the two of them up and said to his subordinates: "On both sides of my camp tent, set up a camp tent for the two sacrificial wines." ”

"Yes."

"Young Master Xie."

Ma Chao asked the two to go to clean and settle down first, and then come to the meeting.

Seeing the backs of the two walking away, Ma Chao saw that there were still pro-soldiers beside him, so he walked back to his camp tent and asked the pro-soldiers to wait outside.

There was only one person in the tent. Ma Chao saw that there was no one, so he jumped up. Jia Xu! That's Jia Xu! Today's biggest gain was not to collect 15,000 horsemen, nor to besiege Han Sui in a lonely city, but to get Jia Xu and Yan Zhong. To be more precise, it is to get Jia Xu.

For a long time, although he must win every battle, Ma Chao has always suffered from the lack of a strategist who can give him ideas, pick up the gaps, and formulate strategies. Although Ma Dai and Pang De are wise generals, they are still military generals after all, and most of the strategies still need to be pondered by Ma Chao alone. It's brain-consuming, it's not efficient, and it's definitely not going to work in the long run. Ma Chao has always wanted to recruit talents, but now that the court is still there, he doesn't dare to be blatant; The long history of the army is also complete, but Ma Chao has inspected it, and these people can at most help him deal with some military affairs, and they can't do the things of strategists.

However, with Jia Xu's attachment, the problem of the think tank is no longer a problem. Ma Chao is confident, Jia Xuzhi's ability should be higher than Cheng Gongying.

Just thinking about it, Jia Xu and Yan Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Ma Dai, Duan Xuan, and Pang De, as well as a group of Changshi, Pei Generals, Zhonglang Generals, and School Captains, were already waiting outside the shogunate.

Ma Chao let them in, and after seeing the salute, he pointed at Jia Xu and Yan Zhong, and said to everyone: "These two will be my military masters in the future, if there is any neglect, I will severely punish them." ”

Everyone looked at Jia Xu and Yan Zhong in disbelief, these two people who had just arrived were above them? But due to Ma Chao's prestige, everyone still obediently saluted Jia Xu and Yan Zhong, saying, "I've seen sacrificial wine." ”

Jia Xu and Yan Zhong humbly returned the salute.

Ma Chao said: "The imperial court has rewarded Jia Yan as the history of Xiliang Thorn and the captain of Huqiang, and I am General Shenwei." Ladies and gentlemen, Xiliang is already ours. ”

Hearing this, the dissatisfied crowd became happy and said, "Congratulations to the lord and the young master!" ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "But the imperial court has already sent Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, etc., to lead 100,000 cavalry and approach the right Fufeng." You know what that means. ”

Everyone's smiles froze, and Zhang Xiu said angrily: "What is the imperial court!" Brother, let's just beat him! ”

As soon as they heard Zhang Xiu's words, the generals were excited, and they raised their hands one after another and said, "Yes! Reverse the imperial court! ”

Yan Zhong said: "No! Now the young lord has not yet sat firmly in the position of the lord of Xiliang, and has not yet made full use of Xiliang's manpower, material resources, and financial resources. ”

Ma Chao said: "Master Yan is right. I have already decided not to worry about the court for the first time, and at the same time let Han Sui go for the time being and spare his life. ”

Zhang Xiu said suspiciously: "Why, brother?" Han Sui was trapped in the city of Caohan, and as soon as the infantry and equipment arrived, our army's 160,000 infantry cavalry attacked together, how could Han Sui be undefeated? Let him go, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain? ”

Ma Chao said: "No. If I destroy Han Sui, the imperial court will have no scruples and will immediately launch an attack on me. Let him go, so that the court will not dare to act rashly. ”

Zhang Xiufang sat down dejectedly.

Ma Chao said: "What is the opinion of the two military advisors?" ”

Yan Zhong said: "In my opinion, now that the appointment of the imperial court has been made, it is advisable for the young master to divide Liangzhou with Han Sui. First gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou, and after two months, the foundation will be slightly stable, and the territory will be firmly controlled, and then it will not be too late to attack Han Sui and turn against the imperial court. When the time comes, the young master will have a strong chance of victory and defeat the imperial court. ”

Ma Chao nodded, this was exactly what he thought was the right strategy. Ma Chao said: "If you want to gain a firm foothold first, you also need the help of Yan Sacrifice Wine, and when Jia Yan comes back from Chen Cangcheng, you may be able to do something else and assist Jia Yan." ”
