Chapter 220 Ma Chao of Xianyang County
When Ma Chao met Jia Xu again, the old fox no longer had the demeanor of the old fox in the hall.He has completely recovered the gangster spirit he had when he was wandering around in the rivers and lakes when he was young: he was wearing tattered official uniforms and tied them in strips.The beard is no longer as smooth as it used to be, but it is much thinner. It should be torn off when judging the enemy's situation and making a decision; and his face is even darker. Compared with Ma Chao, who came back from sunbathing, with a bronze face.The old man Jia Xu looked like a miner digging coal in the pass.

If it weren't for the old fox's eyes shining with golden light, Ma Chao almost thought he had found an old farmer who could be seen everywhere!

"My lord, Yan Xing has already conferred the head?" The old fox said with a smile, but broke off a piece of sweet potato and sent it to his mouth.

After Ma Chao saw it, he almost jumped up: "Old fox, where did you get the sweet potatoes?"

"My lord, is this what you mean?" Jia Xu shared the roasted sweet potatoes with Ma Chao, and said vaguely: "My lord, I don't know. Among Ma's farms, only sweet potatoes and potatoes have the shortest harvest season. Before the expedition, It is enough to promote planting and seeding. So, I asked Han Feng for some to try something new..."

"Yes?" Ma Chao also broke off a piece and put it in his mouth: During these days, I really haven't paid much attention to Ma's industry. I never thought that Han Feng would unknowingly raise his own promotion and planting plan. It's on the agenda.

"This sweet potato is indeed more delicious than potatoes. It is soft and sweet, and it can withstand hunger. If the master has made such a fetish, it must be a feasible thing if it is used as army rations."

"Well... tell me, how do you know that I'm going to use these things to make food for the march?" Ma Chao became interested. He wanted to see what an ancient Jia Xu had to say about this imported product.

"This thing can be eaten raw, but if it is cooked in advance, it can avoid making a fire to make food when marching in a hurry or making a surprise attack. It is very convenient for soldiers to hide!" Jia Xu said in one go, as if he was convinced of his own judgment. Very satisfied.

But Ma Chao shook his head: This sweet potato is indeed resistant to hunger, but it does not contain inorganic salt.Soldiers under strong physical labor, if they lack inorganic salts in their bodies for a long time, may become weak, dizzy, and swollen all over their bodies due to dehydration, until they die from exhaustion.However, Ma Chao did not intend to explain this nutrition to Jia Xu, after all, with the scientific level of this era, it is impossible to explain it clearly.

"The only downside is that this sweet potato is sweet, so there must be less salt. If soldiers eat this for a long time, they may die suddenly."

Ma Chao was still chewing a piece of sweet potato at this time, but after hearing Jia Xu's words leisurely.He immediately spit out the sweet potato in surprise: Did the ancients discover the importance of salt at the end of the Han Dynasty?

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 miscellaneous. My lord laughs at such small ways."

"Old fox, old fox, I really didn't see it..." Ma Chao slapped Jia Xu on the shoulder fiercely, almost knocking Jia Xu off the ground, thinking how to praise Jia Xu's awesomeness, but he couldn't think of a good word .In the end, he could only change the subject and ask, "How about the battle with Lu Bu?"

"It's all thanks to the lord Huwei..." Jia Xu answered while eating, but was interrupted by Ma Chao: "Don't talk about this useless, neither of us knows the other?"

"My lord's words are wrong. If my lord is still the young master of Fufeng, I dare to talk nonsense with the young master. However, my lord is now the general of Dahan Zhenxi, the head of the Ma family!" Jia Xu stood up and respectfully saluted Ma Chao. After a salute, he said seriously: "Since ancient times, there has been an order of respect and inferiority. Masters and servants are different. If the name is not correct, it will be disrespectful. If the master is not strict, it is disrespectful. The master now has a lot of talents under his command, and his aggressiveness is known to the world. There will definitely be more in the future." Countless counselors and generals have come to agree with each other, if the lord loses his identity as the young lord and becomes one with his subordinates, he will lose the prestige of the Ma family and be looked down upon by the people of the world..."

Ma Chao curled his lips. These days, he could clearly see that those civil servants and military generals had a little fear of him and alienated him a lot.Looking at it now, firstly, what I have done these days has really impressed them, and secondly, because my role has changed, these people are gradually deliberately keeping a little distance from themselves.

Ma Chao knows a little about the art of leadership.But as Jia Xu said, deliberately displaying the virtue of "I am the master" at any time will make subordinates feel that the master is superficial.Only when the values ​​and general direction of the entire group are truly unified, will the subordinates feel awe of the leader from the bottom of their hearts.So, seeing that the old fox Jia Xu also had these bureaucratic ideas, he said:
"Convincing people with strength is not from the heart, and strength is not enough. Convincing people with power is not from the heart, and the power is not enough. Only those who convince people with virtue can be sincerely convinced with joy in their hearts." Ma Chao waved his hand, no Accepting Jia Xu's bow, he continued, "Is this the young lord or the lord, or Ma Chaoer? At the time of the young lord, although the counselors and generals were very kind, but the military rules and regulations have clear rewards and punishments, and certain people act according to the law. Don't you be convinced, and do everything you can. Why do you want to be ungrateful after becoming the lord?"

After Jia Xu listened, she said with a mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth, "Since my lord understands this, why bother to just tell this old man?"

Ma Chao was stunned after hearing this, and then laughed loudly: "Old fox, old fox, you are turning a corner and saying that I have been cold and heartless these days, and it has chilled the hearts of my subordinates..."

After saying this, Ma Chao stood up and bowed deeply, and sincerely said to Jia Xu: "Thank you for your correction, teacher. Ma Chao lost his father the day before yesterday, and his behavior was out of order. Now that Yan Xing is gone, the Iron Qiang League has resolved itself, and I have regretted it in my heart. In the future, I will never use the emotions of one person to mess with the emotions of the army."

"Knowing mistakes can be corrected, there is nothing good about it." Jia Xu also bowed back, and continued to say to Ma Chao: "My lord, Lu Bu is really a flying general, and Bingzhou wolf riders are also excellent in the world. This time, Xiaozhi and Xiaozhi have repeatedly used tricks. But he still hasn't achieved an inch of merit. Lü Bu is a proud man, but the cavalry is elite, and he is in control. The eight generals under his command are not mediocre, they are truly formidable enemies, if it weren't for the fact that Hu Zhen and Lv Bu were at odds..."

After talking for a long time, Ma Chao realized that Fazheng hadn't come.I couldn't help interrupting Jia Xu's nonsense, and asked him, "Where is filial piety?"

"I have gone deep into the mountains and forests, and as the leader of the bandits, I have gone to harass the enemy army." Jia Xu replied.

"Alone?" Ma Chao was shocked: How did this happen?Don't let this conspirator die in Xianyang before he grows up, and he will lose a lot!

"A certain sent three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to follow, my lord, don't worry." Having said this, Jia Xu sighed, and said a little embarrassedly: "Before my lord came first, a certain commanded two thousand iron cavalry to attack Lv Bu's eight hundred troops, but they didn't Do your best, feel extremely ashamed..."

"Oh? How about 800 men?" Ma Chao knew how powerful his light cavalry was. On the prairie, 1 soldiers killed 1000 people, and the loss was only [-]. How come here, even [-] infantry can't be dealt with?
"Either two people hold shields, or two people hold knives, or three people hold guns. They advance and retreat with certainty, attack like fire, defend like a forest, look hard, and see death as home. Just talking about the method of controlling troops and training formations, a certain person is not as good as one." Captain..." As he spoke, Jia Xu actually became a little shy, which made Ma Chao feel amused.

"The captain is Gao Shun?" Ma Chao asked with a smile. In the end of the Han Dynasty, besides Gao Shun's [-] camps, who else could make the old fox suffer?
"How did my lord know?" Jia Xu was surprised. Even he sent scouts yesterday to inquire about this captain whom he had never paid attention to. Ma Chao is new to Xianyang, how did he know?Could it be the Shadow Camp...

"I've heard about this person a long time ago. He is fortitude, steady, clear and decisive. He has [-] pieces of armor and weapons under his command. He strictly observes military discipline and is invincible in every attack. It's a dark loss, it's a flaw that doesn't hide its beauty, so don't worry about it." Ma Chao explained with a smile, but he didn't want Jia Xu to feel a lump in his heart because of this.

However, to be honest, how could someone like Jia Xu take such a trivial matter to heart, but muttered: "If such a talent can be used by the Ma family army..."

But Ma Chao sighed deeply: "This person is loyal and loyal to his duty. If he is forced to trick him, he may not do what he wants..."
