Xiao Wen said nothing because he knew in his heart that Diao Chan was telling the truth.
As a young man in the new century, he has received education in the concept of civil rights and the influence of red culture since childhood, and has disdained the so-called imperial power.
"Being born as a human being, there is no distinction between high and low. Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather be born? What do you think, girl?" Xiao Wen suddenly spoke up and said.
Hearing this, Diao Chan was slightly startled and said nothing. She clenched her fists unconsciously, looked up at Xiao Wen, and nodded fiercely.
"I already know your Lord's answer!" Diao Chan replied.
When she said these words, she even had some emotion in her heart, quite a bit like seeing the moonlight after the clouds have cleared.
"If nothing happens, I'll leave." Xiao Wen stretched and planned to leave.
Just when Xiao Wen turned around, he was stopped by Diao Chan: "Sir, please walk slowly. There is one more thing. I hope you can help me."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Xiao Wen looked at Diao Chan in surprise.
"The little girl has no way of repaying your kindness, so she wants to make a piece of clothing for you with your own hands. Please wait for a moment while I go to the house to get a ruler and measure it for you."
After saying that, Diao Chan quickly walked into the house and walked out after a while, already holding a bamboo ruler in her hand.
Before Xiao Wen could say anything, he had already moved his hands up and down to measure the dimensions of his body, and then used charcoal to write down the dimensions on the ground.
Seeing this girl busy up and down, sweating all over her head, Xiao Wen burst into laughter.
He never thought that Diao Chan asked him to stay because of this matter.
Since it was the other party's kindness, Xiao Wen naturally would not refuse. He thanked the other party, and then asked about the other party's life situation before leaving.
The next few days were relatively peaceful. Although Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army had already returned, it would still take some time to reach Xiliang.
Now, the troops of Huangfu Song and others are fighting fiercely with the Xiliang rebels. The two sides are in a stalemate on the battlefield, and it is impossible to tell the winner in a short time.
And Dong Zhuo's return is bound to be the straw that breaks the situation in Xiliang.
Therefore, the person who should be anxious now should not be himself, but Ma Teng, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu.
However, this calm did not last long, and then Xiao Wen received a summons from Ma Chao, asking him to go to Longyou County.
After receiving the news, Xiao Wen did not leave immediately, but sent someone out to find out about Ma Chao.
As a result, the spies sent out were like mud cows entering the sea, and there was no movement at all.
Two more days passed before news came, also from Ma Chao.
However, the letter this time was completely different from the previous one.
If Ma Chao meant to let him go to Longyou County last time, then this time he told himself not to go.
Xiao Wen found five people, Tian Yu, Zhang Song, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shao, and Xu Jing, and then placed the two letters in front of these five people.
"Several gentlemen, do you think there is anything surprising about these two letters?" Xiao Wen asked.
None of the five people read the letter and looked at each other. Then the eyes of the other four people all fell on Xi Zhicai.
When it comes to strategy, this dramatist is undoubtedly the strongest.
After all, even counselors have their own strengths.
For example, Xu Shao and Xu Jing are good at reading people's profiles. Even if they have not expressed their willingness to submit to Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen will bring these two people with him every time they discuss some less important matters to increase their affiliation.
feel.
As for Tian Yu, he is good at military affairs. Although he is a counselor, he can also transform into a general at critical moments.
Needless to say, Zhang Song is the person who handles internal affairs.
As for Xi Zhicai...
It's not clear yet which aspect of him is outstanding, because this guy is known by everyone to be an all-around genius!
"You can talk to me, don't worry about me." Sensing everyone's gaze, Xi Zhi yawned, then waved his hand and said.
When Xi Zhicai said this, the group of people just started to speak out and express their opinions.
"Lord, in Yu's opinion, although the notes in these two letters are very similar to those of General Ma Chao, Yu feels that these are not letters from General Ma Chao at all, but are forged by others."
Tian Yu was the first to speak out.
Zhang Song nodded and added: "Master Tian's words are very reasonable. Now, the rebels and the imperial army are in a stalemate, and no one can do anything to stop the other."
"My lord is now a hussar general with a high official rank. He only needs to raise his arms and join the imperial army to break the balance and suppress the Xiliang rebels."
"Moreover, there will be Dong Zhuo's army later, which is the elite of Xiliang and the main force to quell the rebellion. If Dong Zhuo waits until Dong Zhuo sends troops again, when the two forces join forces, the Xiliang rebels will have no chance of winning!"
"If Song Song guessed correctly, Ma Teng should have known this, so he restricted General Ma Chao to the city, and then wrote a letter to the lord in the tone of a general, asking the lord to go to Longyou County. I am afraid he also saved some money to bring the lord with him.
Plan to stay in Longyou County."
"Use the lord to check and balance Dong Zhuo, and make Dong Zhuo surrender. This should be Ma Teng's plan."
When these words came out of Zhang Song's mouth, several other people listened and nodded repeatedly, feeling that they made sense.
Xi Zhicai's eyelids trembled as his eyes fell asleep, as if he wanted to open his eyes.
At this moment, Xu Shao, who was standing next to him, said: "Master Zhang, don't you think that such a strategy is too vulgar?"
"Don't say it's us, even ordinary people will guess that there is something wrong in them when they see these two contradictory letters."
"When Ma Teng did this, he should have been mentally prepared and knew that these things would have no effect on us. So, what is his purpose?"
Xu Shao spoke up and asked the doubts in his heart.
Not only was he curious, but Tian Yu and Xu Jing were also curious about this.
After all, the contradictions in this are very obvious, and this is what several people have been thinking about.
However, even though I thought hard, I didn't get a suitable answer.
But now, I hope to find the answer from Xiao Wen or Xi Zhicai.
When Xu Shao asked this question, Xi Zhi, whose eyelids were trembling slightly, fell into silence and leaned back on the chair, as if he had fallen asleep.
Xiao Wen fell into deep thought, and Xu Shao's words echoed in his mind.
What is Ma Teng's purpose in sending these two contradictory letters?
Is it to test your own attitude?
Or should I say...
I want to use this to draw myself into the group.
"If my lord is free, you might as well visit Longyou County in person." After a long time, Xi Zhicai spoke up and said.
"What do you mean, sir? Do you already know something?" Xiao Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Zhicai.
"It's just some speculation. If Xi's guess is correct, my lord may have unexpected gains when he goes to Longyou County this time."
"It's just that the Lord needs to take some risks and go alone."
