Ma Chao said calmly: "If it's still gold and silver, I don't need to worry about it. You can keep it and give it to others."
Liu Xin looked stunned. This kid changed his face so quickly that he changed his name. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Ma Chao, what if what I give you is not gold and silver?"
Ma Chao curled up his lips and said, "It's enough for me that I can come to Xiangyang this time. I don't dare to bother you anymore."
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said: "Liu wanted to give you the black horse in the yard. Since you don't want it, Liu gave it to someone else."
Back then, Dong Zhuo used a red rabbit horse to finally take Lu Bu under his wing. Historically, Cao Cao also used a red rabbit horse to order Guan Yu to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou for him. This shows that a good horse is the best way to bribe generals. Just now.
Wu Longzhui, the horse that treads the snow, is very affectionate to Ma Chao. Liu
Xin knew that Ma Chao liked this black horse very much. For Liu Xin, no matter how good the horse was, it was just a toy in his hands, not to mention that there was a red rabbit horse in the house. If he could exchange it for this black horse,
Why not be loyal to Ma Chao?
There are many generals present here, whose status is much higher than Ma Chao. All of them are eyeing the only good horse left in the yard. Now, Liu Xin actually wants to give him the Snow-Taking Black Dragon. Ma Chao
He couldn't help being stunned, opened his eyes wide, and said: "Sir, are you really willing to give me this horse?"
"When Liu said something, how long does it count?" Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "That's it for today, everyone has dispersed. Ma Chao, if you want this horse, keep it for a while. I have something to ask you.
.”
Everyone knew that today's ceremony of presenting spoils of war and rewarding merits was over, and the best horse already had an owner, so they all surrendered, leaving Ma Chao standing alone in the hall.
When Ma Teng passed by him, he specially winked at him, hoping that he could seize the last opportunity to admit his mistake to Liu Xin and continue to stay in the army. From his position as Minister of War, Ma Teng naturally also
Knowing many military secrets, he was able to start from scratch and carve out a place among the heroes of Xiliang
, naturally has his own uniqueness, and he has long seen that as long as it develops according to Liu Xin's plan, the Han army will be the strongest army in the world, and it will only be a matter of time for Liu Xin to sweep away the other princes. Although Ma Chao was reduced to an infantry, but
With his abilities, he will one day be able to stand out and bring glory to the Ma family.
Ma Chao, however, had not recovered from the incident just now, so he ignored Ma Teng's hint and stood there without doing anything.
Liu Xin was not angry either. She pointed to the chair opposite and said with a smile: "Come on, Ma Chao, sit down and talk."
Ma Chao frowned, cupped his hands and said, "There is no place for a villain in front of an adult. A villain can just stand and answer."
"Ma Chao, there are no outsiders now. If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it. Don't even think about playing tricks in front of me!" Liu Xin glared and said angrily, "You stinky boy, you dare to even stay in the king's tent of the Huns. I
Doesn’t this chair have nails?”
Ma Chao's chest puffed up and he was about to talk back to Liu Xin, but when he thought of Tuxue Wulongzhai in the yard, he still swallowed and sat down.
Liu Xin's face softened a little and she said, "Tell me, do you accept or not accept the way we handle it today?"
Ma Chao rolled his eyes and said: "Sun Ce is here today. What achievements has he made? But he is already a deputy general now. It's just because he married your daughter that you took special care of him!"
Liu Xin said disapprovingly: "Maybe Sun Ce's martial arts is not as good as yours, but it's not much different. His courage and talent are not inferior to yours, and he has made many military exploits. Liu always appoints people on the basis of merit, and Sun Ce can be promoted to deputy general.
It is the result of his own efforts, but it has nothing to do with whether he is my son-in-law or not."
Ma Chao snorted and said, "It's just a good idea to appoint people on their merits. If I marry your daughter and achieve such great achievements, shouldn't I be promoted to the commander of the army?"
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said, "I don't have such an old daughter to marry you."
Ma Chao looked serious and gritted his teeth and said, "I can wait!"
Liu Xin spat and said: "Okay, as soon as you stick your butt out, I will know what you are going to do. You chose to quit the army because you wanted to switch to another side. You brought Sun Ce in just for yourself."
Find an excuse to tell others that you abandoned me because of my nepotism, Liu Xin. Am I right?"
Seeing that Liu Xin saw through his trick, Ma Chao sneered and did not answer.
Liu Xin stood up slowly and walked towards Ma Chao.
Ma Chao seemed to turn a blind eye and just sat there carelessly. He was able to rise to the rank of general because he fought hard on the battlefield and earned it with one sword and one shot. Now he only lived in the Hun king's tent for a while.
He was removed from his official position. It seemed that Liu Xin was not the magnanimous leader he thought. He had already made up his mind to leave, so why should he care about Liu Xin's face?
Liu Xin stood in front of Ma Chao, looked at him for a long time, then suddenly stretched out her hands and patted Ma Chao on the shoulder.
Ma Chao seemed to be suddenly startled, and he wanted to jump out of his chair.
Although he had not been in Xiangyang for a long time, he often competed with Liu Xin's generals in martial arts, and often heard them talk about Liu Xin's stories. Ma Chao was a martial artist, and naturally he was very interested in those "Inscriptions on the Humble Room" and "Five Steps".
I’m not very interested in poetry or anything like that.
What he likes to hear is that Liu Xin killed a tiger with one punch and shattered Han Dang's Tianling Cap with one palm. Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others who often competed with Ma Chao were not inferior to him in martial arts, but when they said
Everyone admires Liu Xin's martial arts skills.
Thinking about Ma Chao, Liu Xin has already seen through his own mind. He will never allow himself to switch to another side and eventually become his enemy. Many heroes in the world treat talents like this. Even if they can't be used by me, I can't let him switch to another side.
His enemies, including Liu Xin, were no exception. Now, Liu Xin clapped his hands, obviously intending to take his own life.
Ma Chao refused to sit still and waited for death. He reacted quickly. He jumped up from the chair almost instantly, swung his fists and hit Liu Xin. To Ma Chao's surprise, the two people were so close that he was bound to win.
His heavy punch actually missed the target.
Of course Liu Xin did not mean to hurt Ma Chao. He patted Ma Chao on the shoulder just to show his closeness to him. However, he continued to practice every day, regardless of the cold or heat. The moment he felt the fist wind from Ma Chao, his body
Instinctively, he twisted to the side, narrowly avoiding Ma Chao's fist. Liu Xin's hands did not stop moving because of this, and still slapped him down, lightly pressing on Ma Chao's shoulders from an incredible angle.
Ma Chao felt a strong force coming from him, and he was immediately unable to move and was pressed back on the chair. Ma Chao thought he was going to die, so he couldn't help but sigh and closed his eyes.
But I heard Liu Xin say: "Why are you sighing at such a young age?"
Ma Chao only felt that his right shoulder was lightly tapped twice by Liu Xin. He subconsciously wanted to struggle, but his left shoulder was pressed so tightly that he couldn't use any strength at all. He couldn't help opening his eyes again and said: "Liu
Xin, Ma is really no match for you. If you take action, Ma will never frown."
Just as he finished speaking, he felt the pressure on his shoulders lighten. Liu Xin had already withdrawn and returned to his seat. He said calmly: "Ma Chao, you are becoming more and more promising now. How dare you call Liu Xin directly?"
Someone's name is taboo, and he treats a gentleman with a villain's heart. When did Liu say that he would take action against you?"
To be honest, Liu Xin is indeed much stronger than Ma Chao, and his boxing skills are extremely good. As long as he doesn't use weapons, it is just a matter of raising his hands to control Ma Chao. However, he was able to press the button just now
The fact that Ma Chao couldn't move was actually just because Ma Chao was sitting on a chair and couldn't move. It didn't mean that Ma Chao really didn't have any ability to fight back.
However, Liu Xin's lightness skills that he showed now are what he is best at. It was his special skill when he was a thief. Ma Chao only saw Liu Xin's elegant figure and retreated to his chair without even touching the ground.
, like a god, he couldn't help but be stunned, his face
Sweat was pouring down his face. By this time, Ma Chao had completely believed those rumors. What surprised him even more was that Liu Xin had no intention of harming him at all. On the contrary, he was overly worried. If it weren't for Liu Xin
His reaction was quick enough, and he almost caused a disaster.
Liu Xin knew that Ma Chao must be shocked in his heart. He shook his head and said, "You now know what it means that there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. If you want to switch to another country, I won't stop you, but you have to think clearly.
Make a decision."
Ma Chao's face was ashen. What he was most proud of was his martial arts. If he defected to other princes, he would be reused. But even if he was reused, what would happen? Who can withstand Liu Xin's thunderous strike? Who else can resist Liu Xin's thunderous strike?
Can the princes have enough strength to fight against Liu Xin's elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty?
After a moment of silence, Ma Chao couldn't help but think of the look Ma Teng gave him when he left. He stood up hurriedly, bowed deeply to Liu Xin and said, "My lord, Ma Chao realizes his mistake. Ma Chao is willing to return to the army.
Start as a pawn."
Liu Xin did not immediately agree to his request. Instead, she stared into Ma Chao's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really know your mistake?"
Ma Chao cupped his hands and said, "I really realize my mistake."
"There is no greater good than knowing your mistakes and being able to correct them. Liu is very pleased that you can sincerely repent." Liu Xin saw Ma Chao's sincerity in his eyes and couldn't help but nodded, and then said, "However, there is no such thing in this world."
Regret selling medicine. The path you chose is yours. There is no
Someone is forcing you. Now, your military status has been cancelled. If you want to start as a pawn, you need to wait until next autumn to re-enlist. However, the number of places is limited, so you should sign up as soon as possible. If you miss the opportunity, you will have to wait again.
