The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Seeing Li You's arrival, Ma Yue already murmured in his heart. The Li family only let Li Shi and Li Shi discuss with him. Reason.And what Li You said surprised him even more. He suddenly agreed to borrow soldiers. This is really worth pondering.

And Li Shi and Li Xu also felt a little puzzled, and Li Shi couldn't help but yelled: "Father..." He wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Li Xu's eyes.Since the decision was made by the father himself, there must be a reason for it, and the two of them dare not go against the wishes of the Patriarch on this important matter.

After this delay, Ma Yue had already made up his mind that no matter what the Li family's intentions were, it would be good if they were willing to send troops, so he just smiled and said: "I also ask Mr. Li to speak frankly about the conditions, as long as I can make the decision , I will definitely agree to it next time."

"Okay, refreshing!" Li You coughed twice, and then continued in a hoarse voice: "Our Li family is also Han, so we naturally hope to do something for our country. However, our Li family is weak after all. We won't be able to bring in too many troops for a while, if the government really wants to borrow troops from us, please allow two or three days, and we will recruit some local troops before helping you, what does Mr. Ma think?"

For this condition, Ma Yue is very able to understand.This is an excuse that the Li family came up with to prevent the government from using this point as an excuse afterwards and convicting them in the name of raising private soldiers.Regarding this, Ma Yue naturally wouldn't refuse, so he nodded and said: "3000 people is not a small number. It is indeed a bit difficult for the Li family, and a few days should be allowed. I can be the master for my lord!"

"Okay...cough cough..." After another cough, Li You stretched out two fingers: "The second condition is that after the event is completed, our Li family hopes to obtain a place in Longxi to supply the army with food and all supplies. As for the previous business in Longxi and other counties of Xiliang, I wonder if Mr. Ma can do this job?"

When Ma Yue heard this request, his heart moved, knowing that the other party was thinking about the future.Once this battle is won, the imperial court's military strength in Xiliang's counties will inevitably increase greatly. As long as the Li family can take over the business of food and supplies, it will certainly expand its influence in the local area, thereby greatly increasing the power of the family.Ma Yue didn't care about this point. Presumably even Dong Zhuo would make a compromise. After all, having a huge family serving the army is very beneficial to the development of the army.

However, Ma Yue didn't dare to agree to the matter rashly, he was just an aide without official and job, and he didn't have the power to make decisions about the court.So after pondering, Ma Yue could only truthfully say: "I have no right to decide this matter, but I can try my best to persuade the lord to let him come forward to do this. I wonder if my grandpa can accept this?"

Li You smiled, then nodded: "Mr. Ma is really a big deal. Even under such circumstances, he would not easily promise something that he couldn't accomplish. Okay, okay, okay! With Mr. Ma's words, the old man will Believe you, the troops will be dispatched to Lintao in three days!"

"Thank you, Taigong, for sending troops out of righteousness. The people of Liangzhou in the next generation will thank the Li family!" Ma Yue heard that the other party had agreed, so he immediately got up from his seat happily, and solemnly saluted the three fathers and sons of the Li family to thank him.Then, he said: "As for Li Taigong's praise, I really dare not take it seriously. I just did my duty as a staff advisor."

Now that a consensus has been reached, the relationship between Ma Yue and the Li family has become very harmonious. At that moment, Li You ordered someone to set up a banquet and invited Ma Yue to have a drink before sending him a gift. Lijiawu.Seeing that the Li family treated Ma Yue with such a high standard, Wang Feng and other confidantes were a little silly. This young man is really a good means, which made their admiration for Ma Yue even deeper.

After leaving Lijiawu on horseback, Wang Feng and others gasped in admiration: "Master, you really have a lot of face. The Li family is in Longxi, and they don't even sell the prefect's face. It is really an honor for me to treat you with such courtesy."

Ma Yue yawned, shook his head to wake up his drunken self, and then said: "The matter is not as simple as you imagined. The Li family's attitude was condescending, and in the end they were even more polite. It was beyond my expectation, and things are so unusual, there must be some reason for them to send troops so quickly."

"What's the reason?" Everyone couldn't help asking curiously.

Ma Yue smiled bitterly and said: "I can't think of this either. Maybe they have been threatened by the Qiang people and have to cooperate with the government in order to protect themselves. Or, they have been able to conclude that we will win this battle, but Even I don't have the confidence to say that this battle will be won, so where do they have the confidence? But it is a good thing to be able to borrow soldiers, and it is finally possible to have an explanation to the lord. Moreover, once one family is willing to send troops to help, the others The six families will be mobilized, and the seven families can borrow more than 2 horses, plus the 1 people in the master's hands, with these [-] elite soldiers, it is enough to echo the troops of Long County."

After Wang Feng and others heard this, they also said yes again and again, and they were even more optimistic in their hearts, but Ma Yue was still puzzled by the behavior of the Li family this time, but at least for now, it seems that there is no answer.It's just that he didn't know that after returning to Lintao, he would soon know the truth of the matter.

?????

When I went in a hurry, it was much easier to borrow the horses returned by the soldiers.Within two days, he returned to Lintao County.But after he entered the city, he found that the soldiers and civilians in the city were a little different. It seemed that everyone was very excited, without the panic and depression that they had before, which puzzled him very much.

But now is not the time to study the changes in the city carefully. After telling Wang Feng to go back to his residence to rest, he went straight to Dong Zhuo to report everything.After entering the door, he saw Fangzheng walking from the opposite side. He just nodded his head to this colleague who was already a bit torn, as a greeting.

But today is really a bit weird. In the past, when I saw Ma Yue with his nostrils facing the sky, Fang Zheng who snorted this time took the initiative to speak: "Hey, isn't this Ma Zhongling? Why, you finally made a contribution again?"

Although there was obvious ridicule and malice in the other party's words, Ma Yue still smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Fang, I did make a small contribution and borrowed thousands of troops for the lord. But I don't know Fang What have you been doing lately?"

Fangzheng heard Ma Yue's sarcasm, and a scowl flashed across his face, but then he calmed down again: "Of course I'm not as capable as you, Ma Zhongling. Your Ma family are all powerful people, so it's natural for a small person like me to I'm willing to bow down!" As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Yue as if gloating, and then walked away.

This made Ma Yue quite puzzled, so he had to continue walking in after a self-conscious smile.Soon, he came to the place where Dong Zhuo usually handles affairs, stood in front of the door and said, "I want to see my lord as soon as I get off the horse!"

"Come in!" Li Ru's voice came from inside, but Ma Yue's ears felt a little uncomfortable.But he still walked in, and after saluting respectfully again, he waited for Dong Zhuo's inquiry.When he had contact with Dong Zhuo on business matters, Ma Yue was very polite, so as not to make the other party feel dissatisfied with him.

However, today's situation is a bit different. After Ma Yue saluted, Dong Zhuo didn't ask him to sit aside as usual and started to talk about things. I really didn't expect that treating you like this would not be able to exchange your loyalty!" His tone was full of disappointment.

"Ah?" Ma Yuewei was a little surprised: "Since I joined the lord, I have been loyal to my work. I really dare not accept such a description from the lord. Please take it back!"

"Huh, take it back? What have you done recently, do you really think that I don't know?" Dong Zhuo sneered, "Don't think that I left here with an excuse, because I will ignore some things."

"I really don't know what the lord is talking about. I have been traveling around for the past few days, busy with borrowing troops. Now I just borrowed 3000 troops from the Li family, and I want to report to the lord, but I am so blamed. It is really unbearable. !" Ma Yue bowed to the ground as he spoke, waiting for Dong Zhuo's response.He didn't know what happened, which made Dong Zhuo doubt himself, no wonder Fangzheng had such an attitude just now.He didn't want the matter to be really irreparable, that would be very detrimental to him, and he had to tell Dong Zhuo his grievance in a direct way.

"Hmph, do you still want to lie to me at this moment?" Dong Zhuo took a few pictures and said, "Wen You, give him the battle report to see clearly!"

"Yes!" Li Ru picked up a bamboo slip and came to Ma Yue, and handed it over: "Zhong Ling, take a look for yourself!"

Ma Yue took the bamboo slips full of words, looked at ten lines at a glance, and then his expression changed. Things have changed so much, no wonder the Li family suddenly changed their mind to borrow soldiers, no wonder Dong Zhuo had such an attitude, it turned out that everything Where do the roots come from!
