Chapter 727 Wang Yi's Request

I haven't felt so tired for a long time.

In his memory, Ma Chao felt that apart from working so hard with Yan Xing outside the Great Wall when he first started his business, he never felt so exhausted as if his whole body was weak.Even in the many duels with Lu Bu, it was a few moments of dangerous death threats, more than the numbness of such a long period of mechanical killing.

After sleeping for two full days and one night, when Ma Chao opened his eyes again, the first thing he said was: "How is Pound?!"

Pang De's siege in Longyou was Ma Chao's biggest worry during this period.Attacking Cheng Gongying with all his strength is also a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao.It's just that Ma Chao still doesn't know whether the Ma family's plan has succeeded or not.

However, after finishing this sentence, Ma Chao felt a sharp pain in his throat.The dry tearing pain made Ma Chao groan slightly afterward.At this moment, Ma Chao suddenly saw that a spoonful of warm water had been handed to his mouth, and a strange female voice that he had never heard before also came from his ear: "General Tian, ​​don't worry about the situation." , Although I don’t know the military affairs, but you entrusted the army division Xun when you fainted and fell asleep. So far, you still stand still, presumably everything is under control.”

Ma Chao first drank the spoonful of hot water to moisten his throat, then turned his head and saw the girl who was serving him.I saw that the young girl's clothes were simple, which was the style most commonly worn by commoner women in Liangzhou.Ma Chao has traveled through this era for more than three years. After inheriting the characteristics of the "beautiful beauty" Jin Ma Chao in history, he is also quite appreciative of Jinxiu fabrics.At this moment, he could tell at a glance that the woman's clothes were not made by a famous tailor, but rather made by a woman who is good at weaving and tailoring.

But Ma Chao would never think that the girl was a maid, not to mention what the girl said earlier.Let's just say that this woman's jade-like face and the indifferent and calm expression between her brows are definitely not the appearance and temperament that ordinary maidservants can have.Especially her fingers as tender as green onions, it is obvious that she is not a maidservant who often does rough work.

However, after recalling the scene before he fell asleep, Ma Chao guessed the identity of this woman.After taking a few sips of water with peace of mind again, Ma Chao said, "Thank you, Miss Wang."

After blurting out this address, Ma Chao couldn't help but smile inwardly: Thanks to this pure late Han Dynasty, the word 'Miss' is still a respectful title at this time.

"General Tian recognizes my concubine?" Wang Yi obviously didn't expect Ma Chao to recognize her identity at a glance, and stopped feeding Ma Chao water in surprise.

"Miss Wang spent all her family's wealth to help Longxi fight against the enemy, and even set up a few tricks to stop the bandit army." Ma Chao first glanced at the water in Wang Yi's hand, indicating that he wanted to drink more.When Wang Yi was reminded by Ma Chao, his cheeks blushed.Afterwards, Ma Chao continued to say: "Although Chao didn't really hear the golden words of 'Longxi can be destroyed! We can perish! But Longxi will be ruined, we will be destroyed'. , admiration."

When he said these words, Ma Chao was sincere.Because when he looked carefully at Wang Yi's fingers, he found that there were a few needle holes on her fingertips, which were obviously broken when he was sewing clothes—such a wealthy woman is so light on money, yet she is also a heroic man in troubled times, It is really rare and admirable in the world.

What's more interesting is that this woman has a lot of connections with that Jinma Chao in history.However, the two are not as friendly as they are now, but Ma Chao and Wang Yi have an incompatible relationship.Even in history, Ma Chao personally killed Wang Yi's son, causing the distraught Wang Yi to almost commit suicide.

Historically, Wang Yi was the wife of Zhao Ang, when Ma Chao returned to Xiliang to attack Jicheng.Wang Yi helped her husband Zhao Ang to defend the city, and he made many meritorious deeds.From Ma Chao's attack on Jicheng to Qishan's defense, Zhao Ang made nine tricks, and Wang Yi participated in all of them.After Ma Chao captured Jicheng, Wang Yi had many contacts with Ma Chao's wife, which made Zhao Ang gain Ma Chao's trust.After Yang Fu and Jiang Xu counterattacked Ma Chao, Wang Yi's only surviving youngest son, Zhao Yue, remained in Jicheng as a hostage, and was personally executed by the grieving Ma Chao.

At this time, Ma Chao looked at Wang Yi's quiet and elegant face, and suddenly felt that sometimes it's okay to change history.But then, Ma Chao's mind returned to his current situation.Under the embarrassment of Wang Yi pretending not to know that Ma Chao was watching him, he suddenly asked, "Has Cheng Gongying's army been killed?"

As soon as this question came out, Wang Yi's previously calm and elegant face immediately became a little cold and stern.However, she still spoke afterwards: "More than [-] Liangzhou soldiers were all killed. Even the defeated troops who fled to the mountains on the battlefield were dispatched by the Ma family army, and Xiao Xiao brought back his head."

"Well, not bad." Ma Chao didn't look at Wang Yi's face, but said to himself, "Did Xun You order these heads to be transported to Jincheng?"

"As soon as the general of the sky issued an order, the wolves and wolves under his command naturally obeyed." After Wang Yi finished speaking, he put down the water bowl in his hand angrily, got up and left, and said, "I still have things to do, and the porridge and cooked food will be ready early. , please use it slowly, general.”

Seeing this, Ma Chao smiled wryly, he naturally knew why Wang Yi had such a reaction.However, when Wang Yi was leaving, Ma Chao still shouted: "Please invite the Ma family, Wenwu, and I will arrange the next step here."

"Is it the general who wants to start another round of massacre?" Wang Yi stopped and said sarcastically.However, just when she wanted to leave angrily, she seemed to have thought of something again, and stood still again.And it was by this chance that she heard Ma Chao's next words.

"Slaughtering 4 people may save 40 people in Liangzhou. If I do this, it is much better than letting Liangzhou be in turmoil for a few years, and hundreds of thousands of people will die tragically under the horseshoe of the turmoil..." Sighed deeply , Saying these words, Ma Chao himself didn't know whether he was expressing his feelings or comforting himself?
After all, at this moment, Ma Chao suddenly thought of someone: Cao Cao.

That person killed about [-] people in Xuzhou.And the blood on his hands is definitely no less than his!

Now there is only one reason to comfort and fool myself: what Cao Cao slaughtered were unarmed civilians, while what Ma Chao killed were soldiers who had become demons in troubled times!
It's just that, whether they are common people or soldiers, they are all struggling in this troubled world...

But when Wang Yi heard these words, he felt sentimental in his heart: the reason why war keeps women away is not only that they are not as physically ferocious as men, but also because of their inherent sentimentality that makes most of them become war fighters. the next victim.

Before Wang Yi, he hated Ma Chao precisely because all 4 people were slaughtered.Even though she knew in her heart that Ma Chao's actions might be for the sake of the overall situation, she still couldn't rationally talk to Ma Chao.Even, he didn't even want to look at Ma Chao more.But Ma Chao's sigh at this time made her point out the weakness in her nature...

All in all, women are strange creatures.Men don't try to understand it all their lives.

However, the reason why Wang Yi is still here at this time is not just because of Ma Chao's emotion.It was because of Ma Chao's sigh, that prompted her to express her plan: "General Tian, ​​I have a small request, I wonder if the general can agree?"

Ma Chao, who was worrying about whether he was already a demon, could not help but frown when he heard this: No matter in his previous life or now, the most unbearable thing for him is a woman who asks a man to agree before asking.It's just that, in his previous life, he was humble and speculated about women's thoughts, but now...

"No!" Ma Chao categorically rejected Wang Yi's request, although it was very cold, but Ma Chao said it like this.

"General!" Wang Yi was annoyed, turned around and said in a hurry: "I haven't even said what kind of request I am, so you just..."

"It's because you didn't say your request, but you want me to agree first. If so, it's best to refuse!" Ma Chao's face was still cold, and he choked back at Wang Yi.Immediately, he said even more impatiently: "Liangzhou has hundreds of thousands of people, and the war is changing rapidly. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you really have something to do, tell me quickly!"

Hearing this, Wang Yi couldn't help feeling an urge to turn around and leave.But at the same time, looking at Ma Chao's cold and persistent eyes, she unexpectedly said the plea in her heart: "Jiang Wei's son, Jiang Wei, is less than three years old this year, and his parents died in the enemy's tricks, it is very pitiful. My concubine and Jiang Wei's mother have a lot of sisterhood, so I want to recognize Jiang Wei as a adopted son and stay in the Wang family to raise him..."

Wang Yi believed that Ma Chao would definitely agree to this request.After all, these little things, Wang Yi thinks, are not in Ma Chao's eyes at all.At most, Ma Chao might give the Jiang family some rewards, and bestowing some titles on Jiang Wei would be enough for him to buy people's hearts.But unexpectedly, seeing Ma Chao's complexion, Wang Yi suddenly said those three heart-wrenching three words: "No!"

After saying this, Ma Chao stared at Wang Yi's face with a complex look in his eyes, and then added in a strange way: "Because Jiang Wei is my adopted son from now on. And he There are as many as six stepmothers... This number is already too many!"
