"I can't figure it out why I made a few random remarks outside the tent and then caused a little chaos.
Some people really thought it was a God-given opportunity."
Ma Chao walked boredly in the hall of the charity house, saying this leisurely It's a matter of fact, but I'm worried about tomorrow's pretense.
Although Wudu County was captured, only half of the people's hearts were conquered: half of the people were happy about the Ma family's taking over, and they celebrated with lanterns and colorful decorations; while the other half of the people, especially the Five Pecks of Rice believers, started a hunger strike.
They protested, all of them frowning, and talking about doomsday prophecies such as the death of heaven.
In response to this situation, Fazheng came up with a bad idea.
Just follow the method of fighting poison with poison when burning the temple, and launch a personality cult in Wudu County, let Ma Chao, the heavenly general, ascend to the altar, and completely destroy the remnants of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in the hearts of the people of Wudu County.
If it were just like this, Ma Chao would also enjoy the vanity of being in the spotlight.
But after seeing Fazheng's plan, Ma Chao's face became a little bitter: this time it was not just as simple as asking Ma Chao to give a speech, but all the tricks in the arsenal that could be used to create false appearances.
For example, during the day, Soaring uses the principle of making ice from saltpeter to create some water vapor and white smoke rising behind him; the golden light appears in the copper mirror and reflects the sun's rays, making Ma Chao look like he is possessed by the golden light; the invulnerable prop is naturally the wax tip of a silver gun.
No matter how hard you stab, you can't kill Ma Chao; Even at the end, Ma Chao was surprised to see the amazing acrobatic skill of breaking a big stone on his chest.
At that time, Ma Chao took the plan and cursed Fazheng.
However, Ma Chao also knew in his heart that in this ignorant and superstitious Wudu County, only Fazheng's unscrupulous tactics could completely reassure the people of Wudu County.
But he thought that tomorrow he would sell meat like a monkey to win the hearts of the people. , Ma Chao was really blushing and felt that he could not afford to lose that person.
It's not like he is really like Pang Tong.
There is no limit to how much children can play.
After all, he is already a man with a mental age of over 30 years old.
If he does these things again, he can only feel uncomfortable at home.
Unfortunately, Gan Ning and Zang Ba, who were standing in front of Ma Chao at this time, could not detect Ma Chao's thoughts.
Only Zang Ba continued Ma Chao's questioning and said: "My lord, that boy Yang Ren was able to fall into the trap, naturally because of your clever calculation." .
Think about it, That kid was locked up in a prison and starved for three days and three nights.
He was so frightened that he had long lost his ability to judge.
Moreover, the performances of the people in the shadows were so realistic, and the two of us who knew their identities revealed the information.
How can you not believe it?”
"Yes, this is the category of psychology.
When people are desperate, they will always give their brain a hope of survival.
Once there is any sign, whether it is true or false, he will first believe it.
Even if he has doubts afterwards, The brain will automatically come up with reasons to make up for it, making him more convinced of that hope."
Ma Chao sighed again and put down his plan.
On the plan, many juggling items had been sketched out in a mess, but Ma Chao glanced at it casually and still felt very awkward: Did that guy Fazheng want to take this opportunity to deliberately make a fool of himself?
Fortunately, at this moment, the person who went out to monitor Yang Ren's escape had a somewhat dumbfounded look on his face, cupping his fists and saying: "My lord, Yang Ren's whereabouts have been detected by Shadow."
"how" Listening to Ma Chao's simple question, Brother Chou's expression became even weirder.
After hesitating for a while, he said: "It's not as good as God."
"What does this mean?"
Ma Chao was now interested.
After all, it was not easy for Brother Chou to say two profound words.
"Last night, after Yang Ren ran away on horseback, Shadow had been secretly following him, intending to find out where Zhang Lu's main force was.
However, news came this morning that when Yang Ren ran to Juxian, he met Zhang Lu The envoy was taken in by the envoy, and it seems that he will return to their hometown after the envoy visits the lord."
"Zhang Lu's envoy" Ma Chao's expression couldn't help but move when he heard this: Since Zhang Lu's envoy has come, he is undoubtedly here to seek peace with the Ma family.
It is further speculated that Pang Tong did not completely convince Zhang Lu, and may not have attracted support from the Kanto side, causing Zhang Lu and the Ma family to fight to the end.
If this peace negotiation goes smoothly, Hanzhong can be completely unified and the army can return to Chang'an.
After that, the Ma family focused all their energy on the chaos in Guandong, and sent troops to Guandong when Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Liu Xie were having the most fun.
At that time, no matter whether they march straight in and sweep the three sides; whether they join forces with the weak to attack the strong and enter Jizhou; or whether they join forces with the strong to swallow up the weak and take control of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, it will all be the territory of the Ma family, and the Ma family will decide "Moreover, the envoy who came to visit the lord this time is a guy who is very familiar to the lord."
Seeing that after hearing this report, Ma Chao not only did not get angry, but instead showed a familiar evil smile on his face, Brother Chou felt relieved. , pulled out a smile and said: "It is Yang Song who you sent a large amount of gold and silver jewelry to.
He is the chief envoy of the Hanzhong negotiations this time, and he is the sole envoy."

"Okay" Ma Chao was overjoyed.
Yang Song didn't care about Ma Chao's historical evaluation.
He only knew that with that guy as his envoy, he could completely get all the ins and outs of Zhang Lu.
It can be said that Yang Song’s visit at this time is really And, more importantly, the normal journey from Ju County to Xiabian only takes half a day, which means that Yang Song will arrive tomorrow.
There is no need to pay attention to the sideshow plans prepared by Fazheng: compared with pacifying Zhang Lu in one fell swoop and winning the hearts and minds of half of the people in Wudu County, even a fool can tell clearly which one is more important.
Even if Fazheng told the emperor, there was no way he could make Ma Chao give up hosting Yang Song and go on stage to perform.
Sure enough, during the meeting that night, Ma Chao clearly saw Fazheng's disappointed face.
As expected, that guy really wanted to take advantage of tomorrow's opportunity to make a fool of himself.
Therefore, Ma Chao left Fa Zheng with a meaningful smile and told Fa Zheng to be careful in the future.
In this way, Fazheng's look of sadness immediately turned into regret.
As for the conclusion of the peace talks at the meeting, everyone had a tacit understanding: as long as Zhang Lu agreed to hand over Dongchuan and hand over Pang Tong, the Ma family would return to Chang'an and grant Zhang Lu the title of Marquis of Anle, so that Zhang Lu could enjoy peace and happiness.
As for the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, the Ma family will never let Zhang Lu spread it anymore.
The battle at Xiaben had already shown the Ma family the fanaticism of religious trust.
If Zhang Lu still persisted in his obsession this time, Ma Chao would have ordered the massacre of the Five Dou Rice Cult members in Dongchuan to prevent the Five Dou Rice Cult from causing trouble.
Religion, this kind of thing, is really terrible.
But the world, from another level, is that all Ma Jiajun firmly believe that Ma Chao is invincible.
Therefore, they are not afraid of life and death, which is also a belief.
Two contradictory beliefs cannot coexist under the same rule.
This is the bottom line of the Ma family, and it is conceivable that it will also be the focus of competition in tomorrow's negotiations.
Fortunately, since ancient times, strength has been the cornerstone of all negotiations.
Tomorrow's negotiations will be tough if they are too soft.
Ma Chao is willing to reason with Yang Song and can talk nonsense with him.
Rather than being willing to reason, I just asked Zhang Lu to wash his neck and wait, and I would go and talk to him personally and everything would be over.
Fifty thousand elite soldiers of the Ma family were entrenched in Xiabian City.
Zhang Lu had no confidence to challenge Ma Chao, so this kind of negotiation was his favorite
