Chapter 741 Lu Bu's Letter to Stop Hanzhong(1/2)
Immediately ordered people to take the scout to see Ma Chao!
The scout delivered the letter and saw that Ma Chao's camp was defeated. He was also surprised and said: "A strange way came to deliver the letter, but it was Xuzhou soldiers who took me into the account. It turns out... how could the general be defeated like this?!" p>
He was sent out by Ma Dai, and he didn't know that Ma Chao's soldiers were not familiar with the things here. Seeing this defeat, he felt sad and angry, and said: "...Why are the Xuzhou soldiers unscathed and I am alone in the west?" The Liang army suffered such a disastrous defeat?! Could it be that the Xuzhou soldiers only regarded the general as the vanguard, doing the good things in the rear, but leaving the death trip to the front to the general?!"
Ma Chao heard this and scolded: "What do you know?!"
The scout knelt down, indignant, but said nothing more. It was inevitable that he was thinking too much and had many conspiracy theories!
"Why do you say this?!" Ma Chao read the letter and said: "My father is worried about me, and I know it, but to worry so much is so much!"
"My lord is worried about the general. He said that the general is young and trapped by his so-called righteous friends. He will be taken advantage of by the people in Xuzhou. Now that I see it, it is indeed the case. The people in Xuzhou only consume my Xiliang strength, but I am unscathed. Isn't it just that I was taken advantage of? My lord is right?!" The scout is from Xiliang, and the people of Xiliang are very upright. He said: "My lord calls the general to return to Xiliang quickly. Xiliang is still troubled by Zhong Yao and Han Sui. My lord wants the general not to mix with Xuzhou again. Everything is over here. Everyone in Xuzhou only wants to take advantage of the general, and they must not miss the feelings of righteous friends anymore!"
Does this mean that he is still a child, does not understand the situation at all, and only acts based on the loyalty of his friends?!
Ma Chao has just been defeated. Hearing this, he has nothing to refute. Those who have lost are dumb. If he had not been defeated, how could he have tolerated this? He would have been dragged down and whipped. Just because he was defeated, there is nothing to do now. If he is in a normal mood, he will start shouting early, and he will be extremely proud and arrogant, and he will be extremely arrogant.
Now that I have experienced a big defeat, I feel that my previous self-righteousness was really stupid.
Ma Chao is really in a state of a bit of a split. On the one hand, his nature is like this. He is naturally flamboyant and proud and cannot be suppressed. On the other hand, this lesson is too great and he has not recovered yet!
This blow turned a proud wolf directly into a miserable drowned dog!
When the scout saw that he was silent, he thought he agreed, so he said: "General, when General Ma arrives and reunites, go back to Xiliang. My lord is extremely worried. As for the revenge now, it will not be too late to avenge it in the future!"< /p>
"Of course I want to avenge Liu Bei!" Ma Chao snorted coldly. As soon as he mentioned this, the uncontrollable surge in his heart turned into anger, and he lost control of his heart. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and smashed it hard. All at once!
The scout was taken down to rest.
Ma Chao waited for two days, and Ma Dai finally arrived. He was surprised when he saw this scene. He was also quite shocked when he saw such casualties. He didn't have time to say more to Ma Chao. He went to express condolences to the injured and asked questions. After suffering casualties, he returned to Ma Chao's tent and sighed: "Brother!"
Ma Chao said: "Do you know the cause and effect?!"
Ma Dai nodded and said: "Zhuge Liang does not use ordinary methods when using troops, and it is impossible to prevent him!"
"It's a strategy rarely used by people in Xiliang, but I was careless." Ma Chao said with a frown on his face: "It's a waste that I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, but I have read the book in vain!" It is not until now that I can truly combine it with reality.
,Reexamine and digest the concept.
"It's been a long journey," Ma Chao said, "How is the situation in Xiliang now?!"
"Lü Bu has supported the troops, horses, and food, and it is now somewhat balanced. What my uncle said in the letter was a bit alarmist, and was intended to win over his brother's return. However, he was sincere in worrying about his brother. On the other hand, he did not want to let Xi
Liang is too closely involved with Xuzhou." Ma Dai said: "Uncle doesn't want to tie Xiliang to Xuzhou."
Ma Dai said it very objectively. He has come here and there are some truths to be told. Besides, Ma Chao is very smart and it is impossible for him to deceive him. If he is annoyed, he may not listen.
You really need to persuade Ma Chao kindly and honestly, only then can you possibly persuade him.
Ma Dai knows this wayward brother very well.
Moreover, now that he is newly defeated, it is even more important to tell the truth. Otherwise, it will really anger him. If he does something extreme and hurts himself, he will really regret it. Ma Chao is the kind of person who is very determined to go his own way and dare not report it.
The kind of person who can lead troops and horses to sneak attack Yuan or Cao's troops.
Ma Chao heard this and said: "Although Lu Bu was famous for her untrustworthiness in the past, she is trustworthy. It is true!"
Ma Dai was secretly surprised after hearing this, and thought to himself, is his involvement with Lu Xian really that deep?! Isn't there some relationship beyond ordinary people?!
I can’t blame myself for thinking so much. It’s actually because young girls are in their prime years, so it’s easy for them to think about this. Because Ma Chao has never been one to affirm others.
But after thinking about it, I felt that I might have thought too much, so I swallowed the thought back.
He has to look at this matter again. Although it is weird, there must be something reasonable to make it so consistent.
That Lu Xian, I don’t know what kind of strange person he is, can actually get the same sympathy, praise and belief from his brother.
"Since we have been defeated, it is better to go back to Xiliang with Dai. My uncle is very worried about his brother's safety and hopes to return." Ma Dai advised.
However, Ma Chao shook his head rationally and said: "I am not willing to leave in the face of defeat!"
"Brother, you want to fight again?!" Ma Dai was surprised and said.
Ma Chao said nothing.
Ma Dai said: "Brother, do you know the murmurings of the people I brought here?! When they saw the general's defeat, they thought..."
"I can't stop them from thinking what they think," Ma Chao said, "However, I just know it's not the case!"
This means he is determined to have his own way. What kind of arrogance is this?! What does it mean that he just needs to know? If this continues, the congregation will become separated.
"..." At this time, do we still need to protect Lu Xian and Xuzhou?! Why?! The result of this incident is that Xuzhou did not suffer many casualties, while the Xiliang soldiers suffered a heavy setback. Who could not do this?
Lenovo?!
Do you really dare to say that Xuzhou has no intention of taking advantage of Ma Chao?!
"It was my own carelessness. I shouldn't have been defeated like this. If I hadn't gone my own way and refused to listen to General Guo's advice, I would have withdrawn my troops safely at this time." Ma Chao said.
Ma Dai was shocked. The high-spirited young man actually had time to reflect?!
Ma Dai was young after all, so she looked at him in surprise.
"How many people did you bring?!" Ma Chao said.
"Not many, just a few hundred people," Ma Dai said.
Ma Chao said: "You will take people back tomorrow."
"Brother!" Ma Dai said anxiously: "If brother doesn't come back, how will Dai explain to his uncle?!"
"Don't be willful! Be obedient and go back tomorrow." Ma Chao said.
Are you the one who is willful?!
Ma Dai twitched the corner of his mouth, not willing to be sent back by him, so he said: "If my brother doesn't come back, Dai has no face to go back to see his uncle!"
Ma Chao turned to look at him.
After all, Ma Dai was not as thick-skinned as him. He lowered his head and said: "Although I don't have many soldiers and horses, but being together with my brother can also increase our strength. It can be regarded as support. If my brother is unwilling and insists on chasing Liu Bei, I will
Just go with your brother!"
Ma Chao was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "...After me, the Ma family, everyone is really willful!"
There was no objection at all.
Ma Dai was overjoyed and felt relieved, "I will reply to your uncle right away."
He actually happily accepted the fact of staying. Ma Chao was also speechless.
Because there were so many casualties, Ma Dai did not celebrate much when he came. Ma Chao just brought him to see Mrs. Guo and said: "This is my Ma family's younger brother, and the man named Dai is so! This is General Guo."
Ma Dai hurriedly met and said: "Greetings to General Guo. Although Dai is young, he knows that his brother will be in danger if General Guo does not rescue him. Thank you Madam Guo for rescuing my brother. Dai is very grateful!"
Mrs. Guo said: "This is a brother-in-law relationship. How can we not save him? It's such a big effort. There is no need for General Ma to express his gratitude so solemnly!"
Madam Guo was secretly surprised when she saw that even though he was young, he was so knowledgeable about etiquette, and that he did not have the arrogance of a son of an aristocratic family. He was completely different from Ma Chao.
If Ma Chao were in his position, he would have made a fuss when he saw a female general. But Ma Dai was not surprised at all, and acted as if it was normal. This is extremely rare!
He seems to be a very sensible young man. After Ma's death, it is rare!
Madam Guo then praised: "The Ma family has two young sons. If Xiliang has these two brothers, they will surely prosper!"
After saying that, they were invited to sit down, and there was no big banquet. It was just a very ordinary military reception. After drinking for three rounds, and after some courtesy and promotion, Lady Guo said: "When will Meng Qi set off to return to Xiliang?"
?!"
Ma Chao said: "Chao is not going back to Xiliang!"
Lady Guo sighed: "In that case, why not go to Xiangyang?!"
Ma Chao also shook his head and said: "General Guo just breaks camp and returns to Xiangyang, don't worry about where Chao is!"
Lady Guo said: "Xiliang has suffered heavy casualties. How can I abandon such a situation?! Even if Guo wants to leave, he cannot abandon Meng Qi and leave. Otherwise, how can he rest assured?! Zhuge Liang has many plans, Meng
Don't be careless. I think it's better to go back to Xiangyang with me first and meet up with Military Advisor Pang, and then we can figure it out?!"
"Although there are few supermen, Xiliang is not afraid of death. After losing once, how can it be that he dares not fight because of defeat?!" Ma Chao said: "General Guo just leaves. Don't worry if you get over here!"
p>
Madam Guo knew that he was determined. After thinking about it, she said, "Why don't I allocate a thousand troops to Meng Qi first? If anything happens, we will be able to deal with it!"
One thousand people is the maximum number of people she can borrow, because to block the Xiangyang gate, the number of troops is insufficient. If she gives too many, she is afraid that she will not be able to bear it later.
Ma Chao did not refuse and said: "Thank you!"
It actually means that my family completely accepts it.
Ma Dai was a little shocked when he saw this. He had always known that his brother was informal, but in the past, the boundaries between you and me were very clear. Now, how come he is so close and trusting to Xuzhou?!
He was confused and completely puzzled!
The scene in front of him also shows that his previous villainous intentions have completely gone wrong? In other words, Xuzhou did not use Ma Chao to kill people?! This...
Lady Guo stayed for too long and could not stay any longer, so she said: "Tomorrow I will leave camp and go to Xiangyang. Meng Qi takes care of himself. If you want support, just write to Xuzhou!"
She held the wine glass and practiced with him.
Ma Chao also raised his glass and said: "It's all about wine, drink this glass to the full!"
After the two finished drinking, the generals also said in respect: "General Ma, drink this cup to the full!"
