The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 179

The first battle between the Guanzhong Allied Forces and the Bingzhou Yuan Army ended in this way, with mixed victories and losses for both sides.
First, the generals of the Yuan family suppressed the Guanzhong coalition army with a brave attitude, and then the Xiliang iron cavalry took advantage of the gap to scare the entire Yuan army back.

In the meantime, although the pursuit route was cut off because of the greed of the princes from all walks of life, it is an indisputable fact that Yuan Jun was scared by the Xiliang iron cavalry and peed his pants.

Those who have made military achievements should be treated with the courtesy of a national scholar.

On the night after the battle, Zhong Yao held a celebration banquet in Dazhai to celebrate repelling Yuan Jun for a while.

Among them, Ma Chao and Pound's Xiliang iron cavalry were included in the top seat because they played a decisive role in the victory of the war, ranking above the ten princes in Guanzhong.

Although the princes from all walks of life were not listed as honored guests like Ma Chao, but because they gained a lot of supplies and armaments from the battle during the day, they didn't care about it. Had a crooked one and had a great time.

On the other hand, Ma Chao, who made the most of the contribution this time, had a gloomy face from the beginning to the end, neither toasting nor speaking, just sitting there alone drinking, watching the flushed Guanzhong princes drinking one by one, A sarcastic smile appeared in his eyes from time to time.

What to do, what to do, what to eat, what to eat, these allies should be killed one by one with a stick, staying here, besides causing trouble for others, what is the use?

Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but raised his head and took a sip of wine, his expression was full of anger and depression.

Ma Chao's anger and helplessness may not be felt by others, but Zhong Yao, who is sitting on the head, has harvested them one by one, without losing a single point.

Zhong Yao sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Compared with Ma Chao, Zhong Yao felt even more depressed at the moment. He, Ma Chao, was dissatisfied with the princes, and he could show it on his face, beating or scolding, or ridiculing or angering, all of which he could do spontaneously.

Ma Chao can kick his son, but Zhong Yao can't, because he has the heavy responsibility entrusted by Cao Sikong, no matter how angry or complaining, he can't offend these scattered and unruly princes too much.

Because he, Zhong Yao, still needs them!
Use them to contain the Yuan family, and use them to level Bingzhou. But in the current situation, is it possible?
Thinking of this, Zhong Yao couldn't help but wry smile, then looked at Ma Chao in the blink of an eye, and said in his heart: Forget it, since we can't punish these plague-stricken princes, at least we must give an explanation to Ma Chao and Pang De who have made great contributions!
As the commander of the coalition forces, he had to be clear about rewards and punishments, so as not to neglect the heart of a true warrior.

With this in mind, Zhong Yao stood up and said to the princes who were drinking and singing: "Everyone, please stop making noise. I have something to say, please listen carefully."

Regarding Zhong Yao, all the princes still gave face to him. Hearing the words, they put down their wine cups one after another, and looked at Zhong Yao who got up with a blushing face and a thick neck.

"Everyone! In today's battle, although Yuan Jun's great stronghold was not captured, it was repulsed, demonstrating the might of the emperor, and also showing the strength of our Kwantung Army! It can be called a great victory!"

After all, Zhong Yao raised his hand, pointed at Ma Chao, the chief, and said with a smile: "Especially Ma Chao, the eldest son of Marquis Huaili, first beheaded He Lang, the fierce general of Bingzhou, and then fought on horseback with Butcher Zhao, the fierce general of Hebei. , when General Pang De's Xiliang iron cavalry came out, Yuan Jun was frightened and rushed to each other! He really has the courage of his father! He deserves to be the successor of General Fubo. Everyone, Zhong suggested that we all pay respect to Major General Ma together. How about a glass of wine?"

The faces of all the princes suddenly collapsed when they heard the words, you look at me, I look at you, and after a long time of wide-eyed and small-eyed eyes, they raised the wine cup in the air, and respected Ma Chao together with Zhong Yao.

It's because although Zhong Yao was telling the truth, Ma Chao's character is really too hated. Every time the princes see him, they have an urge to pounce on him and bite him!

However, Ma Chao's skills are too high. If he really bites this bite, he will probably be kicked to death by him immediately. Now that he is willing to toast him, one is that Ma Chao's meritorious service is indeed in today's battle, and the other is that he is unwilling to spend a minute To save Yao's face, he reluctantly did so.

Everyone raised their lamps together, pointed at Ma Chao from a distance, and said in unison: "General Ma has achieved great achievements, beyond the reach of others, and he is worthy of being the queen of Fubo! Let's pay respects to Major General Ma. Do it!"

After saying that, everyone drank it in one gulp.

Zhong Yao wiped his lips, and with the appearance of a simple and honest elder, he said happily: "The so-called meritorious ones are rewarded, those who have faults are punished, and those who are rewarded and punished are the way of a general! Although Zhong is not a first-class general, he is I also know the reason. Since Young General Ma made such a great contribution, he should be rewarded. General Ma might as well tell me what kind of reward he wants. If it is within Zhong Yao's ability, there will be no reason for him to be held accountable! "

When the princes of Guanzhong heard the words, they couldn't help being jealous!The halazi is about to flow down!
Who is Zhong Yao?That's Cao Cao's direct descendant!Everything in Guanzhong is entrusted to this person, which shows Zhong Yao's weight in Cao Cao's heart!

Now that Zhong Yao is willing to promise himself, what does this mean?This is basically what it means to represent Cao Cao!

As long as Ma Chao is willing to open his mouth, Zhong Yao will definitely write a letter to Xudu, asking Cao Cao to give Ma Chao an official position in the name of the emperor, and it is not impossible to even be named a marquis!
Don't look at it as just an official Marquis, but it was conferred by the orthodox Han court!Even Yuan Shang, who has four prefectures under his jurisdiction, cared very much about a magnate at the beginning, so he begged Cao Cao for the post of Wei Wei!
And for these small princes in Guanzhong, the so-called Marquis of the official position is the best guarantee that he can justifiably manage his own one-acre three-point land. He not only represents a status, but also a status!A respect!Just like the treasures of the sun and the moon, its weight is worth a hundred thousand gold!
Ma Chao, this kid, just won a battle, and he can get such a promise from Zhong Yao. Isn't this kid's luck too good to smoke?
Amidst the fiery eyes of the princes with envy and jealousy, Ma Chao stood up slowly, cupped his hands at Zhong Yao, and said indifferently, "Is Zhong Pushe's statement true?"

Zhong Yao nodded with a smile: "Mr. Zhong has no reason to deceive the general! As long as the request is within the scope of my ability, Mr. Zhong will definitely do it!"

In Zhong Yao's heart, apart from wanting to reward Ma Chao, he also admired Ma Chao, a peerless hero, from the bottom of his heart!he

I think that Ma Chao is a talent that can be made, and maybe he can become a big man in the future, otherwise it would be impossible to just sell him such a big favor to Ma Chao so casually!
With what happened today, Zhong Yao thought that he might have a good relationship with Ma Chao
It's a pity that he has done all the calculations, and he has calculated everything carefully and carefully. It's a pity that he only missed one thing!
That was Ma Chao's weird, sour, smelly and violent temper!
"Okay! Now that Zhong Pushe has said what he said, Ma Chao is not hypocritical! Ma doesn't want anything else, but wants all the military supplies, equipment and supplies that Yuan Jun abandoned on the battlefield today! Zhong Pushe shot at the leader of one party, and the merit must be done." Rewards, mistakes must be punished, this little bit of military supplies is just within your ability! I don’t know what Zhong Pu wants to do?"

As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, he saw that all the princes in the tent turned pale with fright, even Zhong Yao himself swayed back and forth, and almost fell off his seat, but he didn't expect that Ma Chao didn't ask for an official, he didn't ask for a title, To actually make such a mentally handicapped request to ask for the trophies of the princes!
Zhong Yao couldn't help pulling off his beard!
Those luggage have already been played by various Guanzhong princes as environmental protection guards, and all the cleaning and cleaning are in their pockets, how could they be handed over again?

Isn't Ma Chao just trying to find fault on purpose?Why is this kid so acidic?What a big deal, as for holding grudges like this?
Zhong Yao took a deep breath, wishing he could raise his hand and slap himself on the ear!What is cheap mouth?That's how I am now!Wouldn't it be nice to stop drinking?What credit must be given to Ma Chao?This is great, I put myself in it all at once!Isn't this just looking for trouble?
What kind of meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and deeds must be punished? This bastard's words passed down by some bastard!Among them is to entrap future generations!

Under the angry and hostile gazes of the princes, Zhong Yao couldn't help but blushed a little, and said with a stiff smile: "General Ma is drunk? Why did you ask for such a child! The little supplies left by Yuan Jun, How can it compare to the great achievements of a general? You might as well put on one, Young General Ma. For example, you don’t want the imperial court to issue an edict to confer you a marquis?”

Ma Chao turned his head coldly, and said, "I don't want to! Ma doesn't want anything else, but all the luggage that Yuan Jun left behind today!"

"Snapped--!"

But when he heard the sound of the cup, Li Kan suddenly threw the wine cup in his hand on the ground, and said angrily: "Ma Chao, you are deceiving people too much! What do you think we are and other princes? Are you a subordinate of the Ma family?" ! Master Zhong Yao gave you face, you don’t cherish it! But you come to run on our allies, you really think I’m afraid that your surname Ma will fail!"

Zhang Heng also stood up, and said in an angry voice, "I have already eaten the luggage that Yuan Jun left behind! You want it. Pooh! I won't give it to you, what will you do?"
Looking at the princes who were already on the verge of fury, Ma Chao remained calm instead of startled. He sneered and said, "How much can you eat with so many weapons and equipment? Let me tell you, these weapons and equipment, you Just spit it out honestly! If you don’t spit it out, heh heh, no one of you will ever return to Guanzhong alive!”

This is a bit exaggerated, but seeing the princes in Guanzhong all pulling out their swords at their waists one by one, and Pang De beside Ma Chao is also standing with a sword, protecting his side, it is a pity that Shicai was still laughing and laughing The banquet is on the verge of daggers and swords at this moment, and it suddenly becomes intolerable!

Zhong Yao never expected that his random words would turn out like this, so he had to keep trying to dissuade him, and all the generals under his tent rushed into the field to stop the two sides from fighting, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

*******************
In the east of Anyi City, Yuan Jun commanded the tent.

Yuan Shang took the letter from the detailed report, and while reading it, he tapped his hand on the table lightly, his eyeballs were dripping, as if he was planning something.

Beside him, Zhao Yunchu and Guo Huai stood by, looking at Yuan Shang's sinister and playful face, they couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Zhao Yun spoke first, "What did you say in the letter?"

"Let me report in detail. Ma Chao and the princes of Guanzhong fought in the commander's tent at a banquet last night. Fortunately, Zhong Yao was able to get along with each other, and the two sides persuaded them to stop the fighting. If not, hehe, I'm afraid last night, Guanzhong In the commander-in-chief camp of the coalition forces, we must see some blood!"

Guo Huai was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "Sure enough, as my lord expected, after yesterday's day-to-day battle, Ma Chao and Guan Zhong's army are already at the same level, I'm afraid they will be incompatible sooner or later!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "It's just that if we want to completely divide them, we have to add more fire." Is there any news from Zhang Yan?"

Guo Huai hurriedly said: "The spies report that General Zhang Yan has met with the big thief Liu Xiongming at Wuguan Pass, and now he is trying to persuade Zhang Baiqi! Once things are done, there will be retribution!"

"Okay! Once Zhang Yan is done, we can set fire to the Guan Zhongjun's rear to confuse their sight and thoughts. At that time, we are not afraid that there will be no fight between Guan Zhongjun and Ma Chao."
