Chapter Eighty-Three: What Dumb Riddle Does the Old Fox Play?


Ma Chao previously led an army deep into the hinterland of the grasslands, and his great achievements were, although not as good as those of Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty.

But it was also the biggest victory against foreigners in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years.

In the imperial edict, it was also talked about Ma Chao's unparalleled achievements and the prestige of the Han Dynasty, etc.

However, how come this hat was held up high and fell gently at the end?

It was just a promotion to one level and a title of Tinghou, neither salty nor salty.

It's over Besides, others don't know, how could Jia Hu not know that he entered Chang'an this time in order to seek substantive interests with the Ma family of Xiliang by getting promoted to an official position, not to mention controlling a few more counties.

Those false names are useless Therefore, after Fu Xun and Cai Yong left, Ma Chao immediately fired at Jia Hu: "Master Jia, why did you do such a fake thing?"

Ma Teng and Meng did not react at all, especially Ma Teng, who had received the title.

Instead, he was the first to rebuke Ma Chao: "Chao'er must not be rude.

Military Master Jia has worked hard all the way, and yet he has obtained such a thing for someone."

Favor and glory.

Chao'er is just ungrateful.

Why should he insinuate the military advisor?

It's so rude."

Ma Chao didn't wait for an explanation, but Meng Ta on the side said: "Young Master, before you reach the age of weak crown, you have been promoted to a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, and you have also been given a title and a fief.

Such achievements, although it is not said to be unprecedented, But it can be considered a moment of great prosperity.

Young Master should thank the Emperor for his great kindness at this moment."

Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Ma Teng, then at Meng Ta.

Without saying the last word, he drank a cup of tea and left with his arms behind his back.

But Ma Teng was still shouting from behind: "Shu Zi is rude, arrogant and arrogant, and cannot be used in a big way.

The military advisor should not care about it."

But Jia Xu just smiled faintly, and after drinking a cup of tea, he said: "My lord, my lord, my eyes are as clear as fire, and my mind is as strategic as a mountain.

I am planning to go to Chang'an, just as my lord said, I can do a fake thing."

"Commander, please don't take it seriously.

Chao'er is young and energetic.

He bumped into the military advisor.

I hope the military advisor will be generous.

The next day, Teng Bi will personally bring Chao'er to apologize to the military advisor."

Ma Teng thought Jia Xu was sarcastically secretly sarcastic.

Satisfied that Ma's family was poorly educated and hurriedly apologized to Jia Xu again.

But Jia Xu just smiled and bowed to leave.

Afterwards, Pang De, Brother Chou, Han Feng, and Meng Da also said goodbye and left.

For a while, Ma Teng and Meng were left staring at each other.

After leaving the door, Pang De and Han Feng were about to go about what they were doing, but Brother Chou, a thoughtful man, grabbed the two of them and said, "What are you doing?"

"Go to the Criminal Cavalry Camp.

There are a lot of prisoners of war.

If someone incites trouble, it will be bad."

"Go to the farmland.

I don't know what the young master is doing recently.

He invited a group of old farmers to sow some unknown crops."

Pang De and Han Feng were surprised, but Brother Chou smiled strangely: "You two, it's a good thing that you stayed with the young master for so long.

If someone's guess is right, the young master drank a cup of tea when he left, that means...

After a cup of tea, you left with your hands behind your back.

Do you mean that we should quietly go to his study?

Didn't you two see that Jia Hu was already running towards the young master's study?"

"This old fox is too unloyal."

Pang De was speechless, and it took him a long time to hold back these words.

"Let's go, Brother Chou is still clever.

According to the young master, between the two of us, our IQ is a flaw."

Han Feng laughed at himself, pulled Pang De and caught up with Brother Chou.

After entering Ma Chao's study, he saw that Jia Xu's fox was drinking tea with a smile, while Ma Chao was sitting aside with a gloomy look.

Next to him stood a beautiful maid who had been transferred from unknown time.

"Yun'er, let's have tea with the three of us, and then go out."

Ma Chao pointed and motioned for Pang De, Brother Chou, and Han Feng to sit down.

After serving the tea, the little maid named Yun'er opened the door and went out.

It seemed that she had been trained well by the young master and had a good eye for her.

"Sure enough, Zidu has a future, which makes me a little disappointed."

Ma Chao said calmly, his tone neither surprised nor happy.

At this moment, a response came from outside the door: "Young Master underestimated Da.

I just went back to the room to bring some accounts, but I didn't want to make Young Master miss it."

After the voice fell, Meng Da He pushed the door open and entered, and after taking a seat, he continued: "Everyone who comes here is the young master's confidant.

Although Da is not talented, he has already fallen in love with the young master."

"Well, good, let's get started."

Ma Chao nodded, looked at Jia Xu, and said, "Old fox, don't pretend to be a ghost.

Why did the Chang'an incident happen like this?"

Jia Xu coughed and spit out the tea: After getting familiar with this young master, his words made people laugh or cry.

Everyone in Fufeng County has this nickname, but Ma Chao is probably the only one who dares to shout it out in person.

"Young Master, the affairs of the court have exceeded Xu's expectations."

Jia Xu patted his chest, calmed down and said, "When Xu arrived in Chang'an, he suddenly realized that people in the court were panicking.

After asking around, he found out that I learned that Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Shao’s uncle Yuan Wei, his servant Yuan Ji, and their families in retaliation for Yuan Shao’s crusade.”

When everyone heard this, their eyes were blank.

Only Ma Chao and Meng Da still understood: the most brilliant method of political struggle is to "lead without triggering", that is, your weakness is in my hands, but I will not reveal my trump card for the time being, so that you can I can't touch it, so I'm worried.

But it was a good idea for Dong Zhuo to do this.

It not only completely offended Yuan Shao, but also caused people all over the world to act righteously in the name of Yuan's revenge, putting himself in a situation where he was besieged on all sides.

"That butcher is so crazy and crazy," Mengda said after thinking for a while.

"Not only that, Dong Zhuo also ordered his generals to guard the fortress and stand still."

Jia Xu spoke again, but these words made Pang De, Chou Brother and Han Feng even more confused.

And Ma Chao knew what Jia Xu meant: after Xu Rong defeated Cao Cao in Xingyang, Dong Zhuo should have known how vulnerable the warriors were.

At the beginning of this month, the eastern coalition forces that defeated Dong's coalition forces were disbanded.

With Dong Zhuo's strength, it should be easy to defeat Yuan Shao's northern coalition forces in the north and Yuan Shu's lone army in the south.

But Dong Zhuo, who had absolute military superiority, chose a defensive stance.

What does this mean?

"Finally, someone also found out that Dong Zhuo ordered the court to waste five baht coins and melt bronze statues to cast small coins, which caused the price of goods in Chang'an to skyrocket, and the wealth of the people flowed into Dong Zhuo's pocket.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo also arrested strong men to build docks," Jia Xu finally said, After taking a sip of tea, he couldn't help but sigh.

Pang De, Han Feng, and Brother Chou all looked dumbfounded.

They had no idea what the young master, Jia Hu, and Meng Ta were doing.

Seeing the appearance of these three people, Ma Chao also sighed and explained to them: "Dong Zhuo's killing of the Yuan family shows his weakness; and his ordering his men to stand still shows that he no longer has the determination to contend with the Kwantung Allied Forces; finally He minted small coins, amassed people's wealth, and built docks, which shows that he Short-sighted and greedy for pleasure.

Taking the above three points together, it shows that Dong Zhuo lost his ambition to dominate the world.

On the one hand, he used cruel measures to retaliate against the scholars, and on the other hand, he viciously accumulated wealth for himself.

I just want to settle down in a corner and enjoy myself for the rest of my life.”

"Oh, that's it."

The three of them nodded to show that they understood, but when they thought about it later, they still looked confused.

Finally, Brother Chou couldn't help but asked: "Then what does this have to do with our reward?"

Ma Chao's face darkened, and he couldn't help but think to himself: Brother Chou, you are so unattractive and profound like this.

You are pretending to be mysterious when talking to smart people like Jia Hu.

You look like you just took off your pants and had sex, without any emotion at all.

Although I don't know how Dong Zhuo's changes have anything to do with our reward
