The battle of Xinping County was over.
Its short duration, small losses, and large number of captures can be regarded as a typical case of siege and fortification in the late Han Dynasty.
But Ma Chao was not happy.
The reason why he was unhappy was not because of how difficult the aftermath of Xinping County was, nor because You Chu failed to fulfill his bet.
In fact, Xinping County did not have any resistance to the Xiliang Ma family.
Coupled with the intimidation of ten thousand Xiliang cavalry and Ma Chao's timely announcement to calm the people, the mood of the people in Xinping County was quickly calmed down; and You Chu was a bachelor.
When he led 10,000 county soldiers to wait for the defeated bandits, he brought over the large seal of the county governor's office and the household registration and accounting statements over the years, expressing that he was willing to admit defeat and that he was a good gambler.
The reason Ma Chao was unhappy was that he suddenly realized: This year is only 190, and according to Lu Bu's godfather killer, there are still two years left to kill Dong Zhuo, that is, he is still in his free period.
Dong Zhuo is now becoming more and more arrogant and monopolizing the government.
His revolutionary career has just started, and he cannot break up with Dong Zhuo yet.
And if you don't break up with Dong Zhuo, then you have to work hard and use your brains to think of conspiracies and it is very hard to defeat Xinping County, and Beidi County, which You Chu is willing to give up, will not be able to draw the line at all.
Enter the territory of his Ma family.
This was also very distressing for Ma Chao.
He thought about it and found that only Jia Hu, who was sitting aside with a smile and said nothing about his attack on Xinping County, might have expected such a day.
So, Ma Chao rushed back to Fufeng County without stopping to ask Jia Xu for a solution.
After running for two days and three nights under the starry night, Ma Chao finally entered the gate of Fufeng County Sheriff.
He didn't take any rest at that moment and went straight to Jia Xu's room.
Jia Xu's residence is located near the official residence.
It was originally an abandoned private house.
The house is very small, with a traditional layout of one hall and two rooms.
The vermilion on the doors and windows has long since peeled off and turned into gray-black.
After bypassing a bamboo screen, Ma Chao walked into the inner room and sat down in front of Jia Xu.
A musty smell rose from the cattail mat beneath him and penetrated his nose.
Ma Chao couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Jia Xu kneeling opposite him with a calm expression, neatly dressed, and following strict etiquette.
Normally, this old fox always looks like a dignified bureaucrat, but he didn't expect that his interior decoration would be so crude.
After entering, Ma Chao remained silent.
Jia Xu didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and rested his mind.
At this point, Ma Chao wanted to confront Jia Xu, so he stared at Jia Xu to see how long this guy could endure.
"Xinping County has fallen into the hands of the Ma family again, and the power of the Ma family in Xiliang has increased."
Seeing Ma Chao's look of not giving up until he stared at him to death, Jia Xu finally couldn't help it anymore, and leaned down to castrate him.
A salute: "Congratulations, young master."
"Don't do this to me, Jia Hu, I haven't treated you badly.
Why do you live in such a shabby place?"
Ma Chao was no longer paying attention to the affairs of those two counties.
Instead, he was a little concerned about Jia Xu's daily life.
Angry: "The Ma family is not short of money now, and the salary given to you by a certain person is the highest.
You are like this.
It's okay if you know.
If you don't know, you think our Ma family is mistreating our subordinates."
Hearing Ma Chao's words like a mallet and a hammer, Jia Xu's eyes jumped a little: "Young Master feels sorry for your subordinates, and I am indescribably grateful.
However, I have never enjoyed any blessings in my life, so this is already very good." ” "This won't work.
It seems that without a woman to take care of it, what have you done?"
Ma Chao shouted angrily, but his face was righteous.
Who is Jia Xu?
How could he not know that Ma Chao's little intention is to find a woman to tie him up?

However, for Jia Xu, these are really unnecessary.
I have long been determined to serve the Ma family, how could I betray myself because of trivial matters at home?
However, Jia Hu was still quite happy that Ma Chao had won over him.
Seeing that Ma Chao was actually being clever in front of him, he couldn't help but say: "Young master, a certain family's family is not important, but the young master is already fifteen this year, so the marriage should be put on the agenda."
"Is it wrong to get married at the age of fifteen?"
Ma Chao refused immediately, but then he thought about it, but in ancient times, getting married at the age of fifteen was really not a big deal.
Sure enough, when Jia Xu heard what Ma Chao said, he smiled slightly and said: "Young Master, please forgive me for speaking bluntly.
Young Master, you are brave, wise and courageous.
You are a fifteen-year-old boy who conquered the Qiang people, captured Fufeng, and brought peace to Xinping."
What can be done now, let alone Xiliang, let's talk about the Chang'an court.
How many people dare to compare the young master with ordinary young people?"
Ma Chao heard what he said made sense, but after all, he was a time traveler from the 21st century, so it was still hard to accept Jia Xu's words.
Seeing that Ma Chao still had some worries, Jia Xu added fuel to the fire: "The Ma family in Xiliang is a famous family, after famous generals.
And the young master has also laid a foundation at this time, so this important matter of marriage will naturally be put on the agenda. .
If the marriage is harmonious, it can even help the Ma family to take a step forward."
"Then as you said, whose girl should I marry?"
Ma Chao did not dare to be frivolous anymore, because only then did he realize that the marriage of the children of the princes was indeed an aspect of politics.
And at his age, he really should make plans for this time as soon as possible.
To be honest, Ma Chao already has a suitable candidate in mind, and that is Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, a great scholar from the late Han Dynasty who is still living in Fufeng County.
Although Cai Yan is a little younger at this time, she is well-informed and reasonable, has a youthful temperament, and her appearance is still in bloom.
If a few years pass, she will definitely be a woman of unparalleled elegance and grace who will conquer the country.
Moreover, it should not be mentioned that she is extremely talented and has a photographic memory.
With such a virtuous wife, it is natural for her to be a loving husband and wife.
What's more, the first kiss between the two parties was given to each other in advance.
If God didn't take it, they would be punished.
With this thought, Cai Yan's charming appearance gradually appeared in front of Ma Chao's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.
When the old fox saw Ma Chao like this, he sighed helplessly: "Cai Yong's daughter is indeed the best candidate.
If the young master is not the leader of the separatist party, but a member of the noble clan, then there is no harm in marrying Cai Yan.
But " "But what?"
Ma Chao was a little panicked now.
You know, he wanted to marry Cai Yan, and it wasn't just about male love and female love.
There is also some consideration involved.
Cai Yan is the daughter of Cai Yong, and Cai Yong can be regarded as a unique leader among the gentry.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, many heroes came together, and the influence of the gentry was immeasurable.
Not to mention distant examples, let’s talk about the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
If they hadn’t relied on their reputation as the Fourth and Five Dukes, how could they have separatized Jizhou and Yuzhou and became the leaders of the alliance to conquer Dong?
And then Cao Cao himself had a gentry clan.
In the background, if the two forces of Liu Bei and the Sun family had not transformed from warriors to scholars step by step, why would they be able to separate the territory and become kings?
If you want to enter the horizon of the late Han gentry as soon as possible, marrying Cai Yong's daughter is the fastest way.
Not only can you get the love in your heart, but you can also help the forces.
Isn’t it beautiful?
But from what the old fox Jia Xu said, it seems that’s not the case at all.
"Old fox, tell me, who should I marry?"
Ma Chao was extremely angry.
No matter how calm a man is, he will never be calm when it comes to the one he loves.

But Jia Xu thought that Ma Chao was young and energetic and did not understand political games.
However, he did not back down and said quietly: "Han Sui's daughter" "Why do you want me to marry that airport?"
s: It’s the first time for me to give a reward to you.
I’m so excited.
BMW man, your words really speak to my heart.
I’m particularly recognized and moved.
Mr.
Mu Yuanfeng, you don’t need to say it.
It’s too long-lasting.
There are surprises every day, you are a great man:
