When Ma Chao heard this, Ma Jun and others were deceived into the military camp just for a bite of food. Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
My heart suddenly went cold.
"Am I short of food or drink for you? When I sent out troops, I didn't eat and drink with my brothers in the barracks first, and then they gave me some small favors, and now I bribed you all?!"
Ma Chaoyue scolded and became clearer. He knew that Xu Jiajun was giving him the last chance to solve the problem peacefully.
Maybe they don't want to fight, but if he still doesn't know what to do, they don't mind trampling Xiliang to the ground.
Realizing this, Ma Chao returned to his seat, sat down, pondered for a long time, and decided to go to the Xujiajun barracks to talk to Wang Pingping in person.
He was confident that Wang Pingping would not kill him, at least not at this moment.
Because she still wants to use him!
At ten o'clock in the evening, Ma Chao appeared alone outside the Xu Jiajun barracks riding his bloody horse.
Maybe it was because Wang Pingping's shot a few days ago was too powerful. The bloody horse under Ma Chao's crotch came outside the Xu Jiajun barracks and said that he could not move forward one step further.
Ma Chao originally wanted to ride a horse majestically into the Xu family's military camp to make himself look more imposing.
But he didn't expect that the BMW he had been following for three years would change his mind.
BMWs are rare. After several slaps on the horse's butt failed to make the sweaty BMW move, Ma Chao gave up.
He solemnly handed the horse to Xu Jiajun, who came to lead the way, and told him to take good care of his BMW before walking into the military camp.
It was getting late, and torches were lit in the military camp, leading all the way to the commander's tent.
Different from other military camps, the commander here couldn't wait to let all the enemies know where he was, so he just went all the way there. He also planted a flag on the top of the commander's tent, even a fake tent to confuse the enemy to assassinate him.
nothing.
However, Xu Jiajun's tents were all the same color and size, a square dark green tent, and many of the tents also had flags on them.
But everyone knows that the room in the middle is their coach's tent.
Ma Chao looked around as he walked and saw that the soldiers here were all strong and well-equipped, and the tents were large and comfortable. He almost cried with envy.
I thought to myself, if I could have so much money, how would you, Xu Jiajun, be able to survive today?
Poverty is the biggest pain for the Xiliang Army!
Ma Chao covered his twitching heart, took a deep breath, lifted the curtain in front of him, and walked in.
At first glance, I saw the female general Wang Pingping sitting on the main seat in the middle, eating meat.
Then he glanced to the side and saw Xu Qingyang, the famous warlock master of Xu Jiajun.
In other families, the female leads the household and the male leads the outside. In the Xu family, the female leads the outside and the male leads the household.
The famous warlock Xu Qingyang was holding a knife at the moment, cutting off pieces of the roasted lamb leg, and placing them neatly on the white porcelain plate in front of Wang Pingping.
Ma Chao squinted his eyes and saw, what a good guy, the slices of meat turned him into a flower.
As if sensing his burning gaze, Wang Pingping finally raised her head and looked towards him.
The generals of the two armies looked at each other, stopped talking nonsense, and went straight to the topic!
Ma Chao said: "The Xiliang army can fight against the Cao family together with your Xu family army, but I also have a condition. After your Xu family army takes over the world, give me Jizhou!"
"No!" Wang Pingping refused directly.
Ma Chao: "..." Rage value is 100!
Wang Pingping calmly asked Zhang Fei to lead Ma Chao to the table, and said seriously: "When my Xu family's army regains the world, Xiliang will be returned to you, and I can guarantee with my personality that Xiliang will be richer than Jizhou in the future."
Ma Chao said without thinking: "You fart!"
Doesn’t he know why Xiliang is so poor?
The land is mostly barren and there are swamps in the middle, making it impossible to cultivate at all.
Road transportation is also a huge problem. In a borderland like Liangzhou, only exiled people often come here. The roads are in disrepair and are in bad condition.
Now the trade routes are no longer open, the inns are in ruins, and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions have not come to the Central Plains for nearly fifty years. Under these conditions, how can Liangzhou be richer than Jizhou?
Why not?
Wang Pingping smiled lightly and said, "The trade route is broken. We just need to reopen it."
"If the road is not good, then repair it. The road soldiers of our Xu Jiajun are all professionals. They can open a road for you even on the cliff."
Ma Chao: Is this how you climbed Helan Mountain? You caught me off guard!
"Also, who told you that swamps can't be farmed?"
"Last point, even if we don't want to clean up the swamp, if we take back the lost counties in Liangzhou from the Huns and plant all the large river valleys under the Qilian Mountains with my fairy rice, won't we still be able to support you in Liangzhou?
Population 850,000?”
Every time Wang Pingping said something, Ma Chao's anger level subsided a little. When she heard her talk about regaining the lost land in Liangzhou, reestablishing trade routes, and planting fairy rice.
The young man stood up excitedly.
I got up in a hurry, and my knees were strong and I took a sip on the table, almost overturning the table full of wine and food.
"Is it a deal?" Ma Chao rushed to Wang Pingping and looked at her very seriously.
Seeing her nod, she stretched out her free hand.
Wang Pingping raised her eyebrows and then put her palm on it.
Ma Chao shook her hand heavily and said happily: "Deal!"
After completing this handshake gesture, the young man smiled back and said, "I heard that your Xu Jiajun salutes like this. If you don't want to learn it, don't mind."
Except for Xu Da, who stared with resentful eyes, everyone else just laughed, thinking that this kid was very wise.
The cooperation between the two parties was established. Ma Chao was a cheerful person and immediately said that he would send someone to tie up Beidi and his party to Wang Pingping to show his sincerity.
Next, the two sides discussed how to deal with the menacing Cao army in the south.
By the time all action plans were finalized, it was already early the next morning.
Without waiting for me, the Cao family's army was forced to Wuwei County. In the early morning of that day, Ma Chao took the ecstatic Ma Jun and other generals into the acropolis to gather the army, and immediately followed the Xu family's army to go south.
The 50,000 Xiliang cavalry were unparalleled in their ferocity, and there were 20,000 elite Xu Army troops equipped with advanced equipment, as well as Wang Pingping to guide the battle.
When the joint flag of the two armies appeared in Cao's army's field of vision, General Guan, who was leading the army, was so frightened that he almost whipped his beloved horse to death.
'These Xu Jiajun have all taken the elixir, and they have actually entered Xiliang in advance to join forces with Ma Chao. Now our army is in danger!'
General Guan was wailing in his heart, and his aura on his face was not weak at all. In this situation, he could not afford to panic, so he had to take out his command flag, quickly change his formation, and go all out.
A real war begins here.
Cao's army numbered 100,000, and follow-up troops were still coming from the north.
It's just that for the Xu and Ma joint forces who have the local advantage, although there is a gap in numbers, the advantage still lies with us.
