When Ma Chao met Jia Xu again, the old fox no longer behaved like the old fox in the hall.
He completely recovered the gangster spirit he had when he was young and wandering around the world: the tattered official uniform was wrapped around his body and was torn into strips and tied around his body.
The beard is no longer as smooth as before.
Instead, it is a lot thinner.
It must have been torn off when judging the enemy's situation and making decisions; and the face is darker, after returning from the prairie.
Compare Ma Chao with his bronze face after returning from sunbathing.
The old man Jia Xu is like a miner digging coal in Yazikou.
If it weren't for the golden eyes of the old fox, Ma Chao would have thought he had found an old farmer who could be seen everywhere.
"My lord, Yan Xing has been crowned," the old fox said with a smile, then picked up a piece of sweet potato and put it into his mouth.
After Ma Chao saw it, he almost jumped up: "Old fox, where did you get the sweet potatoes?"
"My lord is talking about this."
Jia Xu shared the roasted sweet potatoes with Ma Chao and said vaguely: "My lord, I don't know that among Ma's farms, only these sweet potatoes and potatoes have the shortest harvest season.
Until before the expedition, use It is enough to promote planting and making seeds, so I asked Han Feng for some to try."
"Yes."
Ma Chao also broke off a piece and put it in his mouth: During this period, he really didn't pay much attention to Ma's industry.
He never thought that Han Feng had unknowingly put his planting promotion plan on the agenda.
Schedule.
"These sweet potatoes are indeed better than potatoes.
They are softer, sweeter and more resistant to hunger.
If my lord comes up with such a magical thing, it would be a good thing if it can be used as military rations."
"Tell me, how did you know I was going to use these things to make marching food?"
Ma Chao became interested.
He wanted to see what Jia Xu, an ancient man, had to say about these imported goods.
"This thing can be eaten raw.
But if it is cooked in advance, it will avoid lighting a fire to make rice when marching in a hurry or making a surprise attack.
It will be very convenient for the soldiers to hide," Jia Xu said.
He seemed very satisfied with his conclusion.
Ma Chao shook his head: This sweet potato is indeed resistant to hunger, but it does not contain inorganic salt.
And the soldiers were under strong physical labor.
If the body lacks inorganic salts for a long time, it will cause weakness, dizziness, and edema all over the body due to dehydration, until death from exhaustion.
However, Ma Chao did not intend to explain nutrition to Jia Xu.
After all, it was impossible to explain it at the scientific level of this era.
"The only disadvantage is that these sweet potatoes are sweet and contain less salt.
If soldiers feed on them for a long time, they will die suddenly."
Ma Chao was still chewing a piece of sweet potato at this time, when he heard Jia Xu's words.
He immediately spit out the sweet potatoes in surprise: the ancients were in the late Han Dynasty.
Already discovered the importance of salt When Jia Xu saw Ma Chao looking at him like this, he felt a little humble.
He cupped his hands and said, "Xu She is a bit messy.
Such little things make the lord laugh."
"Old fox, old fox.
I really didn't see it."
Ma Chao slapped Jia Xu on the shoulder hard, almost knocking Jia Xu to the ground.
He was thinking about how to praise Jia Xu's awesomeness, but he couldn't think of any good words.
In the end, I could only change the subject and ask: "How is this war with Lu Bu?"
"It all depends on the master's power," Jia Xu replied while eating.

But he was interrupted by Ma Chao: "Don't talk about these useless things, we don't understand each other yet."
"My lord, what you said is wrong.
If my lord was still the young master of Fufeng, I would dare to talk nonsense to you.
But my lord is now the general of Dahan Zhenxi and the head of the Ma family."
Jia Xu stood up and gave a respectful salute to Ma Chao.
After that, he said seriously: "Since ancient times, there has been an order of honor and inferiority.
There are distinctions between masters and servants.
Names are If you are not upright, your words will not be obeyed, and if your master is not strict, it will be disrespectful.
The master now has many talents under his command, and the world will know that he is enterprising.
In the future, countless advisers and generals will come to join him.
If the master no longer serves as a young master, he will fight with his subordinates.
If they form a group, they will lose the prestige of the Ma family and be looked down upon by the world.”
Ma Chao curled his lips.
During these days, he could clearly see that the civil servants and generals were a little afraid of him and alienated him a lot.
Now it seems that, firstly, what I have done these days has really impressed them, and secondly, probably because my role has changed, these people are gradually deliberately keeping a distance from me.
Ma Chao knows something about the art of leadership.
But as Jia Xu said, deliberately displaying the virtue of "I am the master" at all times will make subordinates feel that the master is superficial.
Only when the values and general direction of the entire group are truly unified, will subordinates sincerely respect the leader.
Therefore, seeing that Jia Xu, an old fox, also had these bureaucratic thoughts, he said: "To convince people with force is not to be convinced by one's heart, nor can one rely on strength to support them.
To convince others with force is not to be convinced by one's heart, but to be convinced by force.
Only those who convince others with virtue will be happy and sincerely convinced."
Ma Chao waved his hand, no Accepting Jia Xu's bow, he continued: "A certain The young master is still the lord, and he is still Ma Chaoer.
Although the advisers and generals were friendly, the military regulations and rules were clear about rewards and punishments, and everyone acted in accordance with the law. , but deliberately ungrateful."
After hearing this, Jia Xu smiled mysteriously and said, "Since my lord understands this, why bother just talking to me?"
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Old fox, old fox, you are just rounding the corner and saying that I have been cold, hard and heartless during this period, which has chilled the hearts of my subordinates."
After saying this, Ma Chao stood up, bowed deeply, and said sincerely to Jia Xu: "Thank you, teacher, for correcting me.
Ma Chao behaved inappropriately due to the grief of losing his father the day before yesterday.
Now that Yan Xing has been destroyed, the Iron and Qiang League has dissolved itself, and he has already regretted it in his heart.
From now on, I will never mess up the mood of an army with one person’s mood.”
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Jia Xu also returned the gift and continued to say to Ma Chao: "My lord, Lu Bu is really a talented flying general, and Bingzhou Langqi is also the best in the world.
This time, a certain person and Xiaozhi used tricks one after another, But he still didn't get any success.
Lu Bu was aloof, but he was able to control the elite of the cavalry.
His eight capable generals were not mediocre, they were really powerful enemies.
If it weren't for the fact that Hu Zhen was not at odds with Lu Bu."
After talking for a long time, Ma Chao realized that Fazheng had not come.
I couldn't help but quickly interrupt Jia Xu's nonsense and asked him: "Where is Xiaozhi?"
"I have gone deep into the mountains and forests, and I am the leader of the bandits.
I am going to harass the enemy troops."
Jia Xu replied.
"Alone" Ma Chao was shocked: How could this cause the mastermind to die in Xianyang before he could grow up, and he would suffer a huge loss?
"A certain person sent three thousand Xiliang cavalry to accompany him.
Don't worry, my lord."
After saying this, Jia Xu sighed and said with some embarrassment: "Before my lord came first, a certain man commanded two thousand iron cavalry to attack Lu Bu's 800 troops.
Unexpectedly, he did not I have done my best and am extremely ashamed.”

"Oh, what about the eight hundred men?"
Ma Chao knew how powerful his light cavalry was.
On the prairie, five thousand killed ten thousand, and the loss was only one thousand.
How come here, he can't even take down the eight hundred infantry?
"Either two people hold shields, or two people hold swords, or three people hold spears.
They advance and retreat in a controlled manner.
They attack like fire and defend like forest.
Their eyes are solemn and resolute, and they regard death as if they are home.
Just talking about the method of controlling troops and practicing formations, it is not as good as one.
Captain" As he spoke, Jia Xu became a little shy, which made Ma Chao very amused.
"That captain is Gao Shun?"
Ma Chao asked with a smile.
In the late Han Dynasty, besides Gao Shun's Eight Hundred Traps camp, who else could defeat the old fox?
"How did the lord know?"
Jia Xu was surprised.
Even he had just sent scouts yesterday to find out about this captain who he had never paid attention to.
How did Ma Chao know that it was the shadow camp when he was new to Xianyang?
"I have heard about this person for a long time.
He is resolute, steady, clear-minded and decisive.
His eight hundred armors and weapons are well-equipped.
He strictly observes military discipline and is invincible in every attack.
He has the reputation of being trapped in the camp.
The teacher does not know the details, but he just kept it secret.
It's just a mistake, don't worry about it."
Ma Chao explained with a smile, not wanting Jia Xu to get upset because of this.
However, to be honest, how could a person like Jia Xu take such a trivial matter to heart?
Instead, he muttered: "If such a talent can be used by Ma Jiajun?"
But Ma Chao sighed deeply: "This person is loyal and dedicated to his duties.
If he is forced to trick him, he may not follow his wishes." s: Let me tell you something.
