Ma Xiu and Ma Tie shouted towards Ma Chao with some fear.
The two brothers were a little uncomfortable with Ma Chao's sudden return.
The two have been bullied by Ma Chao since they were children. Ma Chao often picks fights with them. Even if Ma, Xiu and Ma Tie join forces, they are no match for Ma Chao.
Not only are they still young, even if they grow up, they are still far behind Ma Chao.
During this period, Ma Chao did not come back, so the brothers were very happy and could play as much as they wanted.
But when Ma Chao came back today, he obviously had no intention of beating these two younger brothers.
He took the military book and went directly to his room.
Ma Chao also wanted to have a better environment when he came back from the military camp. Tonight, he would stay up late to read, and tomorrow morning, he would recite the first chapter in front of Wang Ding.
Matthew and Ma Tie looked at each other and felt very happy that they didn't have to be beaten today. The two of them quickly ran away to play elsewhere.
When Ma Teng learned that Ma Chao was back, he didn't go to see Ma Chao.
His mentality has calmed down. When Wang Ding transferred Ma Chao Pang De and directly assigned soldiers, Ma Teng already knew that in Wang Ding's heart, Ma Chao Pang De was valued more.
Although he is the General of Zhenxi now, he may stay in this position for more than ten years in the future, and he may even have to make way for Ma Chao Pangde.
Wang Ding also returned home, and he didn't come back for a few days.
He really missed Diao Chan so much that he couldn't control it.
All day today, when he was in the military camp, his mind was filled with images of Diao Chan.
"Shh, don't make a sound."
When Wang Ding saw the guard at the door and wanted to speak out, he quickly signaled with his hand.
He entered the mansion quietly and silently.
"Ahem, I'm back."
Accompanied by two coughs, a kind word came back, stopping Wang Ding in his tracks.
"Why haven't you gone to rest yet?" Wang Ding turned around and looked at Wang Yun who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair.
He never expected that Wang Yun would still be waiting for him here so late.
Wang Yundao: "There are so many things going on that I can't sleep."
Wang Ding was too sensible to ask Wang Yun what was going on.
He said: "My child is tired, so I won't disturb my father from admiring the moon."
After Wang Ding finished speaking, he planned to apply oil on the soles of his feet and sneak away.
But this time, Wang Yun did not intend to let Wang Ding leave so easily. He stood up and said: "When do you plan to send troops?"
When Huang Wan was asked to go to Xuzhou, Wang Yun also contributed, and Wang Yun was also a witness at the time. Since Wang Ding promised Huang Wan to send troops to support Xuzhou and attack Cao Cao together, how could he break his promise now?
Some time ago, Wang Ding refused to send troops to Xiliang and could not fight on two fronts, but now the war in Liangzhou has ended.
Ma Teng has surrendered, and all the leaders of the thirty-six Qiang tribes in Liangzhou have been beheaded.
However, many days have passed, and Wang Ding has not yet sent troops to Yanzhou.
Wang Ding said: "Father, don't worry, Jia Xu has gone to Bingzhou and ordered Lu Bu to send troops."
Wang Yundao: "A month ago, you said that Lu Bu would send troops, but now, where are they? Cao Cao has already attacked Xiapi. By the time Lu Bu sends troops, Xuzhou has already been occupied by Cao's thieves."
Wang Yun is also very conflicted with Wang Ding.
On the one hand, I hope that Wang Ding will become a talented person and become famous, but on the other hand, I am worried that Wang Ding will become the gravedigger of the Han Dynasty.
He didn't want to see the Wang family be accused of rebellion.
Wang Dingdao: "Father, don't worry. This time Jia Xu will go to Bingzhou in person, and Lu Bu will definitely send troops to attack Cao Cao."
Wang Yundao said: "Even if Lu Bu sends troops, if Yanzhou is captured, does Yanzhou belong to Lu Bu or the Han Dynasty?"
Wang Yun had no favorable impression of these warlords, and even disliked them.
Dong Zhuo is dead, but as a result, these princes are still fighting each other, attacking each other, and constantly leveraging the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Without them, the Han Dynasty would still be the same Han Dynasty as before, and the world would be at peace.
Wang Yun never thought that even without Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the others, the world would not be peaceful.
More than ten years ago, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Army to revolt, and the Han Dynasty was already in trouble.
Even now, Yellow Turban bandits still often cause trouble in various places.
And these yellow turban remnants were all put down by the feudal lords from one side, such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
If it were not for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, perhaps the Yellow Turban Army would have made a comeback.
Moreover, in the past, even if the Yellow Turban Army had not broken out, the Han Dynasty was still not at peace, hungry people were everywhere, and corrupt officials were rampant.
In Wang Ding's view, the Han Dynasty was already declining. Even if he wiped out all the princes now, it would only give the Han Dynasty a breath of fresh air.
When the people can no longer survive, they will still rebel.
Wang Dingdao: "This world naturally belongs to the Han Dynasty. Lu Bu was also ordered to conquer it."
Wang Yundao: "It's best this way."
Wang Dingdao: "Father, go to bed early and the child will leave."
Wang Yun did not continue to stop Wang Ding.
Calculating the time, if all goes well, Jia Xu will be back soon.
When Wang Ding returned to the room, Diao Chan leaned over to her gently, helped Wang Ding undress, and personally served Wang Ding to take a bath.
Diao Chan's little hand passed across Wang Ding's solid chest and whispered: "My husband has another scar on his body."
Wang Ding said nonchalantly: "A man is more powerful if he has more scars on his body."
Compared to other people in the army, Wang Ding doesn't have many scars on his body. There are only five scars in total, and they were all accidentally injured during training.
As for the soldiers in the army, most of their scars were left on the battlefield.
Diao Chan gently touched the scars on Wang Ding's body, nodded and said: "My husband is the most powerful."
Diao Chan doesn't quite understand why Wang Ding must train with the soldiers.
He doesn't need to take risks at all.
But she chose to support Wang Ding. No matter what Wang Ding did, he was her man.
Wang Ding was touched by Diao Chan's little hand, feeling numb and numb, and his soul seemed to be about to ascend to heaven. He couldn't help but pull Diao Chan into his arms.
……
……
An hour later, Diao Chan leaned on Wang Ding's chest and fell into a deep sleep.
Wang Ding's other hand gently stroked Diao Chan's smooth face.
He was wondering if he should find something for Diao Chan to do.
He now spends most of his time in the military camp, and Diao Chan is in the mansion every day. Even if he is accompanied by a maid, it is very boring. He just reads a book or dances every day.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is not the Diao Chan that Wang Ding wants to see.
Diao Chan is not his canary.
It's just that in this era, although it doesn't mean that women can't show up in public, there are very few things that women can do.
When Wang Ding woke up early in the morning, he drank a bowl of gruel with Diao Chan. He said, "Chan'er, are you willing to go to the academy?"
Diao Chan asked in confusion: "Why do I go to the academy?"
Wang Dingdao: "Go to the college to be a teacher."
Diao Chan shook her head hurriedly and said: "I am a female prostitute, how can I go to the college to be a teacher?"
Even though she has read many books and has been influenced by Wang Ding's thinking, Diao Chan has never thought that one day, she can go to the college to be a teacher.
Wang Ding said: "Why not? Women, like men, are born from their parents, not raised by nature."
Diao Chan still shook her head and said: "Husband, please don't say that. I am not qualified to be a teacher, let alone go to the academy."
Not to mention the Imperial College, even the Mengxue run by Cui Jun, Diao Chan didn’t think she had the ability to become a teacher for those children.
Even if she had the corresponding knowledge, it is estimated that none of the invited masters in the academy would be willing to work with her, a prostitute.
Wang Ding sighed, Diao Chan didn't want to, and he couldn't force her, so he could only think about it again.
Wang Ding left the mansion and took Lu Hao and others to the military camp.
"Tell me, can this man and this woman be the same?"
Lu Hao smiled and said: "Lord, of course women are different from men."
Wang Dingdao: "Can women be generals like men?"
Lu Hao found it strange that Wang Ding would think so, but he still said: "Of course women cannot be generals. The entire military camp is made up of men. If a woman becomes a general, the brothers below will not accept it."
Lu Hao was really worried. Wang Ding suddenly got a female general for them, and that would be a Muggle.
Lu Hao was also the first guard to follow Wang Ding. Even he had the same idea. Wang Ding knew the result without asking anyone else.
This is an era that favors boys over girls.
However, Wang Ding did not give up, and then went to ask Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others.
They were more influenced by Wang Ding, and both of them are now good family men.
At home, they also respect their wives.
However, both of them also believe that there should be no women in the army.
This is a man’s battlefield.
If a woman is weak and goes to the battlefield, how can she kill the enemy?
On this day, Wang Ding also asked the two Sima brothers, and the result was the same.
Sima Yi, in particular, bluntly stated that women are not as good as men, and women should stay at home honestly.
In the evening, Jia Xu finally returned from Bingzhou.
Wang Dingdao: "Did Lu Bu agree?"
Jia Xu nodded and said: "Lü Bu agreed. This time I went to Bingzhou and found that Lü Bu had an adviser beside him. His intelligence is by no means inferior to mine."
Wang Dingdao: "Who is he?"
Jia Xu said: "His name is Chen Gong and his courtesy name is Gongtai."
Wang Ding was startled and asked: "When did he defect to Lu Bu?"
Jia Xu said: "I don't know the specific time. When I went to Bingzhou, I was already with Lu Bu, but I didn't show him his real name. I only found out his name after asking him repeatedly."
Wang Ding did not expect that Lu Bu's life trajectory had changed, and Chen Gong still sought refuge with Lu Bu.
If Jia Xu hadn't noticed the other party this time, he might not have known about it.
Wang Dingdao: "Chen Gong was Cao Cao's confidant before. If he appears next to Lu Bu, he should be betraying Cao Cao."
Sima Lang asked: "Could it be that Cao Cao sent him to lobby Lu Bu?"
Wang Ding believed that Chen Gong had betrayed Cao Cao, but Sima Lang and others did not know this. In their opinion, there was no possibility of Chen Gong betraying Cao Cao.
Compared to Cao Cao, Lu Bu is not worth relying on.
Moreover, Chen Gong is from Yanzhou. If he betrays Cao Cao at this moment, what will happen to his family?
Wang Ding shook his head and said: "If Cao Cao sent him to Bingzhou, why would he hide his name?"
Sima Yi said: "The other party concealed his name, maybe because he didn't want Mr. Jia to know."
Wang Dingdao: "Military advisor, what do you say?"
Jia Xu said: "I think Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao."
"If he is just a lobbyist, he will not be present when I meet Lu Bu."
Even if Lu Bu has no brains, he should understand this truth.
How could they discuss how to deal with Cao Cao in front of Cao Cao's confidants?
If Lu Bu really wants to do this, it's better to stay away. Wang Ding never wants to take advantage of Lu Bu again.
Sima Yi said: "Perhaps Chen Gong is pretending to join Lu Bu?"
He had enough reasons to suspect that Chen Gong's purpose in seeking refuge with Lu Bu was impure.
Wang Dingdao: "Lü Bu has agreed to send troops, does he have any other requests?"
Jia Xu said: "Lü Bu hopes that my lord can give him one hundred thousand stones of food and grass as military rations for this expedition to Yanzhou."
Wang Ding can naturally produce one hundred thousand stones of food and grass.
Originally, in his last letter, Wang Ding said that Lu Bu could ask for anything he needed.
Only one hundred thousand stones of food and grass were needed, which was much less than Wang Ding expected.
He also thought that Lu Bu's lion's mouth would open even wider, requiring not only food and grass, but also weapons and equipment, and even Wang Ding's men.
Now Lu Bu only wants 100,000 stones of food and grass, which is completely within Wang Ding's acceptance range.
Wang Dingdao: "When will he send troops?"
Jia Xu said: "If the grain and grass are sent to Bingzhou, he will immediately raise his troops to attack Yanzhou."
Sima Yi asked: "Could this be Lu Bu, deliberately trying to defraud people of grain and grass?"
Wang Ding glanced at Sima Yi strangely. Sima Yi rarely spoke before.
I have said so much today, but every time I hold opposing views.
That’s not to say it’s impossible.
For a person like Lu Bu, even if he promised Jia Xu personally, it would be normal for him to regret it when Wang Dingzhen delivers the food and grass.
However, Wang Ding and Jia Xu analyzed before that Lu Bu's sending troops to Yanzhou would be profitable for Lu Bu himself.
The people of Bingzhou are fierce and the soldiers are very effective, but supplies are relatively scarce. However, Yanzhou is a large state that produces grain and has a large population.
Even if Wang Ding does not provide food and grass, Lu Bu will probably send troops after Jia Xu personally analyzes the pros and cons for Lu Bu.
The only thing that surprised Wang Ding was Chen Gong.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Bu was in Bingzhou, Chen Gong still targeted Lu Bu.
We must join forces with Lu Bu to seize Yanzhou.
Wang Dingdao: "One hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, Sima Lang, you go prepare it today and send it to Bingzhou as soon as possible and deliver it to Lu Bu."
Chen Gong is already with Lu Bu, and Wang Ding believes that even if he doesn't let Jia Xu go this time, Lu Bu will actually attack Yanzhou.
Chen Gong can definitely convince Lu Bu to take action.
Even if he doesn't give him these 100,000 stones of food and grass now, Lu Bu will probably send troops in the end.
Wang Ding gave these 100,000 stones of food and grass just to reassure Lu Bu and show that he was on his side.
Wang Ding will never take the opportunity to attack Lu Bu at this time.
Sima Lang said: "Here."
Although he initially suspected that Chen Gong was sent by Cao Cao.
Since both Wang Ding and Jia Xu believed that Chen Gong had really betrayed Cao Cao, Sima Lang trusted their judgment.
Wang Ding didn't know why Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao at this time.
Perhaps it was the incompatibility of their personalities that made Chen Gong feel that Cao Cao was not the wise master.
There may also be other reasons. If there is a chance in the future, Wang Ding may be able to ask Chen Gong in person.
He and Lu Bu have a good relationship now.
Wang Ding remembered that the one who betrayed Cao Cao was Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu. Now that Chen Gong has betrayed him, he wonders if Zhang Miao has betrayed him.
If the trajectory is the same as the original, then if he helps Lu Bu later, can Cao Cao still regain Yanzhou?
Wang Ding said to Sima Lang: "Recently, let the spies pay more attention to Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu."
Sima Lang said: "Here."
"My lord is worried that Zhang Miao will stop Lu Bu from invading Yanzhou? He only has a few thousand men in his hands, should we focus on Xiahou Dun?" Sima Lang asked.
Wang Ding shook his head and said: "I think Zhang Miao will also betray Cao Cao."
Sima Yi said: "How is this possible? Zhang Miao has a close relationship with Cao Cao, how could he betray Cao Cao?"
Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao, which made Sima Yi feel untrustworthy. If Zhang Miao also betrayed Cao Cao, Sima Yi would not believe it. He would rather believe that cows can fly.
