Chapter 431 Jia Xu's Teachings

After sending those leaders An Sheng back to the tent, Ma Chao rubbed his drunken head, 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 and walked into Jia Xu's tent.

Jia Xu was the same as before, the old god was still squinting.He was holding a book in his hand, and he didn't know whether he had read it or not. Anyway, Ma Chao hadn't seen Jia Xu turn the pages while Ma Chao was burning incense next to him.

"Old fox, it's been a long time, have you read this book?" Ma Chao finally couldn't help it, and when he thought Jia Xu was asleep, he breathed alcohol at Jia Xu.

"My lord..." Jia Xu looked troubled and uncomfortable, moved her butt backwards, and then said: "I am not reading this "Wei Liaozi", but I am feeling the merits of my lord for making Fufeng paper. Yes, you'd better drink less alcohol in the future..."

"I drank so much wine, it's not your old fox's bad idea, I must take this opportunity to get in touch with the Ma family and the Qiang people. The result is good, those leaders all want to introduce me to their wives!" Ma Chao sighed, and was about to continue telling Jia Xu about the plan to attack Chang'an, when Jia Xu suddenly interrupted, "My lord refused?"

"Of course I refused. The three in my family have already asked me... Wait, old fox, you already knew this would happen?" Ma Chao's eyes suddenly became strange, and 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's, and his beard and hair were as gray as an old man's.With a sparse beard and a high crown and long sword, he is quite a bit of a fairy.A pair of small eyes are half-opened and half-closed on the face, but there is a deep wrinkle like a knife on the smooth forehead, which seems to contain the gloomy vicissitudes of life.For a moment, he felt that the person in front of him was a little strange, and said in a tone of shock: "Do you want me to agree to this marriage?"

"My lord has to decide this matter, and I know that my lord has always been very assertive. 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 At this time, the attention was not on the book at all.

According to the thinking of the ancients like Jia Xu, it is really common for a husband to have three wives and four concubines.Especially the princes who are in charge of one side like Ma Chao have to rely on marriage to win over the forces of all parties.In fact, Ma Chao also knew that marrying a Qiang woman from a tribe that was distant from the Ma family as a concubine would help stabilize the relationship between the Ma family and the Qiang people.

After all, marrying women from tribes that are close to the Ma family will make the family dominant and the Ma family will lose control; only women from tribes that are distant 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 also know that 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, don't forget that after you pretend to attack Chang'an, you will enter Chang'an again according to plan. And in Chang'an, there is still a princess waiting for you to marry..."

These words made Ma Chao take it seriously.Because he found that the old fox seemed to have arranged a few moves for him, but 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 his head ache a little, and after rubbing his temples again, he said coldly: "If you have something to say, the military commander may as well speak up! "

"Without him, what he did in a humble position, the lord only needs to use a little thought to guess it." At this time, Jia Xu finally closed the book, and said sincerely to Ma Chao: "My lord is bright and clear, and decisive in killing and attacking. A few days ago, the lord Xiushu used Princess Yangdi to blackmail Lv Bu, which made Beizhi see the growth of the lord even more. However, Beizhi found that the lord was too kind and gentle when it came to matters of love. Especially this time, although It is an excuse to help the imperial examination, but in fact, how can the lord fail to calculate the benefits and losses?"

Yes, Ma Chao also knew that he couldn't hide this from the old fox.After all, it would be too costly to dispatch all the troops of the Ma family, plus the Lalai Qiang people, just to rescue one Cai Yong.Although this feint attack won't kill anyone, the consumption of supplies for a day is not a small sum.And this is really not worth the loss for the Ma family's first imperial examination with unknown results.

"Chao, I've been taught." Ma Chao relaxed his tone and bowed to Jia Xu.But Jia Xu was not polite, and accepted Ma Chao's gift: To a certain extent, it is not wrong to say that Jia Xu is Ma Chao's teacher.

However, the two fell into a strange silence afterwards.Because both of them are smart people, and they understand each other's thoughts too well.But the conflict of ideas cannot be eliminated with words.Therefore, at this time, the two of them could only use silence to delay each other's thoughts.

"The matter of the Wannian princess, Chao has already been concerned about it." After a long time, Ma Chao finally broke the silence, but after that, he didn't know what to say: after all, his ideas are very different from those of the ancients like Jia Xu. It was too big, so that Ma Chao, who has always been eloquent, couldn't express it in detailed language for a while.

"The humble official understands what the lord has done this time. In fact, it also let the humble official see that you have always taken the status of a prince as the top priority. The gains and losses of this time the troops are at least five or five. In this way, this trip is not in vain. "Jia Xu is a wise man, and he usually stops at the point of persuasion and suggestion.Because he knows that his experience and thoughts can never be imposed on others.Only after Ma Chao has experienced more far-reaching things can he reach his ideal state.Naturally, it may also surprise him.

As a result, Jia Xu looked at the night, and smiled at Ma Chao: "It's getting late, I think, I should bid farewell to the lord."

"Well, take care all the way. Remember, things won't work, but you must come back alive." Ma Chao got up, took the disciple's gift, and sent Jia Xu out of the tent.

Outside the tent door, Niu Fu was already ready to go. When he saw Ma Chao coming out, he immediately got off his horse and said, "My lord, the leader of the Qiang tribe has sent a message to XX. The road to Luoyang in the east has been investigated and opened."

"Well, this time the Qiang tribe sent out an army of 30. With their prestige, the thieves between Chang'an and Luoyang naturally disappeared." Ma Chao nodded, and then ordered: "On the way, you can fight the flag of the Ma family. As long as there are bandits with some brains, they will naturally know the relationship between the Ma family and the Qiang people. And if they don't even have this brain..."

Speaking of this, Ma Chao glanced at Publius, the head of the Roman battle group, and said coldly, "Us, you know what to do." After hearing the words, Publius clasped his fists and replied generously : "This subordinate guarantees his life and honor, and he will definitely keep the military advisor safe!"

After the explanation, Niu Fu and Jia Xu bid farewell to Ma Chao.Under the cover of night, Ma Chao watched the leaving figure of this army gradually disappear.After that, he looked at the shining stars on the dark blue sky, and sighed quietly: "I don't know if this time and space can still be like the time and space in history..."
