After sending the leaders Ansheng back to the tent, Ma Chao rubbed his head that was a little drunk and couldn't help but miss Yun'er's meticulous care.
However, after he sighed and held back the sadness in his heart, he turned around and walked into Jia Xu's tent.
Jia Xu was still squinting his eyes as before.
He was holding a book in his hand, and I didn't know if he had read it.
Anyway, while Ma Chao was burning incense next to him, he hadn't seen Jia Xu turn the page yet.
"Old fox, it's been a while, have you read this book?"
Ma Chao finally couldn't help it.
When he thought Jia Xu was asleep, he sprayed a mouthful of alcohol on Jia Xu.
"My lord," Jia Xu looked troubled and uncomfortable.
After moving his buttocks back, he said, "I am not reading this Wei Liao Zi, but I am expressing my lord's merits in making Fufeng paper.
Also, in the future, you It’s better to drink less alcohol” "I drank so much because you, an old fox, had a bad idea.
You asked me to take this opportunity to establish a relationship between the Ma family and the Qiang people.
The results were great.
Each of the leaders wanted to introduce me to their wives."
Ma Chao He sighed and was about to continue talking to Jia Xu about the timetable for the feint attack on Chang'an, but suddenly heard Jia Xu interjecting: "My lord has refused."
"Of course I refused.
The three at home have already asked me to wait.
Old fox, you knew this would happen."
Ma Chao's eyes suddenly looked strange.
He took a closer look at the old fox who usually didn't care.
I saw that his skin was as white and tender as a baby, and his beard and hair were as gray as an old man.
With a sparse beard, a high crown and a long sword, he has a somewhat immortal air.
A pair of small eyes were half-opened and half-closed on the face, shining brightly, but there was a deep wrinkle like a knife carving on the smooth and smooth forehead, which seemed to contain gloomy vicissitudes of life.
For a moment, I felt that the person in front of me was a bit strange, and he said in a frightened tone: "You want me to agree to this marriage?"
"My lord still needs to make the decision on this matter, and I know from my humble position that my lord has always had his own opinion.
Today's matter is just a reminder to my lord."
Jia Xu finally turned a page of Wei Liaozi, but Ma Chao knew that the old fox was at this time.
His attention was not on that book at all.
According to the thinking of ancients like Jia Xu, it is quite common for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
In particular, princes like Ma Chao who were in charge of one party had to rely on marriage to win over all forces.
In fact, Ma Chao also knew that marrying a Qiang woman from a tribe that was alienated from the Ma family as a concubine would help stabilize the relationship between the Ma family and the Qiang family.
After all, marrying women from tribes who are close to the Ma family will make the family dominate and the Ma family will lose control; only women from tribes who are estranged from the Ma family can ensure the further stability of the relationship between the Ma family and the Qiang people.
However, Ma Chao is a time traveler after all.
Although he has lived in this era for nearly two years, he really can't use marriage as a political transaction.
"Old fox, you know this kind of thing."
Ma Chao didn't know how to explain this to Jia Xu, but to his surprise, Jia Xu interrupted him again: "My lord, please don't forget that after pretending to attack Chang'an, you will enter Chang'an again according to the plan.
And there is a princess in Chang'an who is waiting for you to marry."
Ma Chao had to pay attention to these words.
Because he found that the old fox seemed to have laid out several chess moves for him, and he was still on the chessboard with no idea of the way forward.
This feeling made Ma Chao suddenly feel irritable, especially under the stimulation of alcohol.
Ma Chao felt a slight pain in his head.
After he rubbed his temples again, he said coldly: "If you have something to say, you might as well speak up."
"Without him, my lord can guess what he did in his humble position with just a little thought."
At this time, Jia Xu finally closed the book and said to Ma Chao sincerely: "My lord is wise and decisive in killing.
Even some time ago, On that day, the lord repaired the book and used Princess Yangzhai to blackmail Lu Bu.

However, Beizhi found that the lord was too kind and gentle when it came to matters of love, especially this time.
Although he made an excuse to help the imperial examination, in fact, the lord was too kind and gentle.
How can we not calculate the gains and losses in this?"
Yes, Ma Chao also knew that he couldn't hide this from the old fox.
After all, the cost of sending out all the Ma family's troops, plus the Qiang tribe, just to rescue one Cai Yong was too high.
Although no one will be killed in this feint attack, the daily baggage consumption is a large sum of money.
And for the Ma family's first imperial examination with unknown results, it was indeed not worth the gain.
"Chao, I've learned a lesson."
Ma Chao softened his tone and bowed to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu, on the other hand, accepted Ma Chao's courtesy without any courtesy: to a certain extent, it is not wrong to say that Jia Xu is a teacher.
However, the two fell into a strange silence after that.
Because both of them are smart people and understand each other's thoughts too well.
But the conflict of ideas cannot be eliminated with words.
Therefore, at this time, the two people could only use silence to delay each other's thoughts.
"Chao has already considered the matter of the Ten Thousand Years Princess."
After a long time, Ma Chao finally broke the silence, but after that, he didn't know what to say: after all, his ideas were very different from those of ancients like Jia Xu.
It was so big that Ma Chao, who was always very articulate, couldn't express it in detailed language.
"I understand what my lord has done.
In fact, I can see that you have always put your status as a prince as your top priority.
The profit and loss of sending troops this time is at least 50%.
In this way, it is considered a worthwhile trip.
"Jia Xu is a wise man.
He usually gives advice and suggestions until the end.
Because he knows that his own experiences and thoughts can never be forced on others.
Ma Chao will only reach his ideal state after experiencing something more profound.
Of course, it may also surprise him.
From this, Jia Xu looked at the night and smiled at Ma Chao: "It's getting late.
I think I should bid farewell to my lord for my humble position."
"Well, take care along the way.
Remember, things may not work out, but you must come back alive."
Ma Chao stood up, held the disciple's gift, and escorted Jia Xu out of the tent.
Outside the tent, Niu Fu was ready to go.
When he saw the horse coming out, he immediately got off his horse and said, "My lord, the leader of the Qiang tribe has sent a message to a certain person.
The road to Luoyang from the east has been explored and opened."
"Well, this time the Qiang people sent out an army of 300,000.
With their accumulated prestige, the thieves between Chang'an and Luoyang will naturally disappear."
Ma Chao nodded, and then asked: "You can fly the Ma family flag along the way.
Those bandits who have some brains will naturally know the relationship between the Ma family and the Qiang people, and those who don't even have this brain."
Having said this, Ma Chao glanced at Publius, the leader of the Roman regiment, and said coldly: "Us, you know what to do."
After hearing this, Publius clasped his fists and replied with emotion. : "I promise with my life and honor that the military advisor will be safe and sound."
After the explanation, Niu Fu and Jia Xu finally bid farewell to Ma Chao.
Under the cover of night, Ma Chao watched the troops leaving, gradually disappearing.
After that, he looked at the shining stars on the dark blue sky, and sighed quietly: "I wonder if this time and space can still be like the time and space in history." s: I’ve tried my best, my mind is in a daze.
If I’m not busy tomorrow, I’ll add another chapter.
That’s a total of ten chapters updated today.
