Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Eight Feng Xiao, then it's all up to you!
"Lord, the last general invites you to fight!"
Ma Chao, who had just returned to the queue, suddenly heard Guo Jia's voice speaking to him. He couldn't help but look sideways at Guo Jia's smiling figure, and quickly led Pang De and Ma Dai behind him to treat him.
After a salute, he bowed and stepped out of the queue, shouting respectfully to Yingzi Ge with expectant eyes.
"This" Looking at the actions of several people, Ying Zige behind the desk raised the corners of his mouth inexplicably, then frowned, shook his head in difficulty and said, "Meng Qi, although the military advisor said so, but in this case
In your lonely heart, you are not the best candidate to be the vanguard of this war.
It is true that regardless of your personal bravery, your application of cavalry tactics, or even your current prestige in the army, you should be the best choice.
However, your hatred for Han Sui is Gu Xin's biggest concern! On the battlefield, military orders are everywhere. If you do some irrational behavior because of your hatred for Han Sui, it will violate military law.
At that time, would you say let Gu handle it or not handle it?
If it is dealt with, I will be reluctant to leave you as a general. But if it is not dealt with, where will the military orders of our army be placed? Where will the military law be placed? At that time, how will I be able to command this tens of thousands of troops?"
Ma Chao, who was waiting with a bow, turned paler and paler as Ying Zige narrated, because he knew that Ying Zige's concerns were justified.
Although Ma Chao felt that his temperament had changed a lot and matured a lot after Ma Teng's death, he could not use this to convince Ying Zige, because just some time ago, he could have easily evacuated from Jincheng.
The Ma family cavalry suffered heavy losses because of his choice.
Although in that battle, he first challenged Yan Xing with spears, and then powerfully defeated Han Sui's 10,000 fine cavalry, but the 30,000 Ma family cavalry still left more than 13,000 corpses in front of Jincheng.
And this was all because of Han Sui's appearance and the price he paid for the hatred and impulse in Ma Chao's heart.
Even to this day, he can clearly remember those Ma family soldiers who turned around resolutely to let him lead the army to break out of the encirclement, and the blood feud between thousands of brothers.
"Lord!"
Just when Ma Chao's face had turned pale, his heart was dejected, and he was about to give up.
Guo Jia, who had been waiting nearby, suddenly said, "Although General Meng Qi's choice under Jincheng is open to question, it cannot be completely denied.
Whether it was killing Han Sui general Yan Xing, or later defeating 10,000 Han family elite cavalry, or even giving up the opportunity to kill Han Sui at the last critical moment and going to fight a way out for the Ma family cavalry, Jia thought it was all
It can reflect the growth of General Meng Qi.
Therefore, Jia still has the same idea, General Meng Qi is the best choice to be the vanguard of this war, please make your decision, my lord!"
"Military advisor!" The pale Ma Chao couldn't help but feel excited when he heard Guo Jia speak again and the appreciation and recognition in his words. He looked at Guo Jia with a look full of gratitude.
Ying Zige, who was always paying attention to Ma Chao, saw that the heat was almost over, and immediately said, "Since the military advisor has repeatedly spoken for you, I will give you a chance to be the vanguard in this expedition.
However, you must agree to one condition. During the war, you must strictly abide by every order given to you by the military advisor. Even if you can kill the old thief Han Sui with a gun at the next moment, as long as the military advisor asks you to withdraw your troops, you must
Execute without hesitation.
Of course, Gu also said that Gu will definitely let you take the head of the old traitor Han Sui to pay homage to Duke Shoucheng. You don’t have to worry about this.
Now, tell me if you can do it?"
"This" After hearing Ying Zige's request, Ma Chao's face was like a dye shop, unpredictable. He lowered his head and thought for a long time. Then he looked up at Guo Jia, who was standing next to him with a smile. He secretly made up his mind and flashed in his eyes.
With a hint of perseverance, he nodded heavily to Ying Zige and responded in a deep voice, "My lord, Meng Qi is willing to issue a military order!"
"Okay! If that's the case, then in this battle, as Military Advisor Gu Yi said, you will be the vanguard!"
Seeing Ma Chao's look, Ying Zige nodded, knowing in his heart that this arrangement was not in vain. Then he looked at Pang De on the other side, pondered for a moment and said, "Ling Ming, you are still here."
Let’s help Meng Qi hold the battle!”
"Thank you, Lord!" Hearing Ying Zige's answer, Ma Chao immediately shouted with excitement, clasping his fists, and then stood up again and said to Guo Jia, who was standing with a smile on his side, "Thank you, military advisor, for your recognition. Meng Qi will keep it in mind!"
"No!" Pang De said calmly as he stepped forward and raised his hands.
In fact, Ying Zige had discussed the candidate for this expedition with Guo Jia as early as last night, and Ma Chao was indeed, as Guo Jia just said, the best candidate for the vanguard of the army in their minds.
The reason why there is such an arrangement today is because Ying Zige wanted to prevent it. After going to the battlefield, Ma Chao ignored Guo Jia's orders because of the outbreak of hatred in his heart, and made some irrational behaviors, which led to the battlefield.
The unexpected happened.
Therefore, it is necessary to first establish a favor for Guo Jia in Ma Chao's heart, in order to remind Ma Chao that the reason why he has the opportunity to serve as the vanguard of the army depends entirely on Guo Jia's trust in him, and it is Guo Jia who has repeatedly
And the third thing he won for him was to let Ma Chao learn to suppress his hatred, control his behavior, and strictly abide by Guo Jia's orders.
Bind hatred with kindness.
This is also the best method that Ying Zige can think of in a short period of time. The method is not very clever, but as long as it is effective.
For Ying Zige, having arranged Ma Chao's affairs, half of his mission before this war has been completed. As for the next half, it depends on Guo Jia.
After all, whether it was planning the march route of the army, calculating and planning attack methods, or even arranging the logistics, he believed that he was inferior to Guo Jia.
What's more, as a lord, if he has to worry about everything and do everything, then why should his subordinates do anything? Why should he go to great lengths to recruit resurrected famous ministers and generals, and must shamelessly bring Guo Jia here?
.
"Okay, this matter is settled."
Behind the desk, Ying Zige smiled slightly, looked at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao! Then I'll leave the next thing to you. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest!"
After explaining to Guo Jia calmly, Ying Zige turned around and left without stopping, and disappeared from everyone's eyes in a moment.
"Huh? Gone?!"
Guo Jia looked blankly at Ying Zige who suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, his face full of confusion.
"Didn't I agree last night that as long as I cooperate with you to deal with Ma Chao, you will be responsible for the rest of the arrangements? Why did you suddenly run away?"
