Chapter 222 Ma Chao in Xianyang County

When Ma Chao saw Jia Xu again, the old fox no longer had the style of the old fox in the hall. It completely restored his banditry when he was young: the tattered official uniform was worn on his body and tied up one by one. The beard is no longer as smooth as before. On the contrary, it is much thinner and should have been torn off when judging the enemy and making decisions; and his face is darker, compared with Ma Chao, who came back from sunbathing on the prairie and came back with a bronze face. Jia Xu, an old man, is like a miner digging coal in Yazi's mouth.

If it hadn't been for the old fox's eyes still shining with golden brilliance, Ma Chao would have almost thought he had found an old farmer everywhere!

"Lord, has Yan Xing been awarded the head?" The old fox smiled and said, but broke a piece of sweet potato and sent it to his mouth.

After Ma Chao saw it, he almost jumped up: "Old fox, where did you get the sweet potatoes?"

"Is the lord talking about this?" Jia Xu gave the roasted sweet potatoes to Ma Chao and said vaguely, "My lord doesn't know that among Ma's farms, only these sweet potatoes and potatoes have the shortest harvest season. Until the expedition, it was enough to promote planting and planting. Therefore, someone asked Han Feng for some to taste..."

"Is that right?" Ma Chao also broke a piece and put it in his mouth: During this period of time, he really didn't pay much attention to Ma's industry. He never thought that Han Feng had unconsciously put his promotion and planting plan on the agenda.

"This sweet potato is indeed more delicious than potatoes, soft and sweet, and resistant to hunger. If the lord made such divine objects as military food, it must be feasible.

"Well... Tell me, how do you know I want to use these things for marching food? Ma Chao became interested. He wanted to see what Jia Xu, the ancient man, had about this imported product.

"This thing can also be eaten raw, and if it is cooked in advance, it can avoid making a fire and cooking when marching or raiding, which is very convenient for soldiers to hide!" Jia Xu said, as if he was very satisfied with his judgment.

But Ma Chao shook his head: this sweet potato is indeed hungry, but it does not contain inorganic salt. Under strong physical labor, if the body lacks inorganic salt for a long time, they will be weak, dizzy and swollen due to dehydration, until they die of exhaustion. However, Ma Chao does not intend to explain this nutrition to Jia Xu. After all, at the scientific level of this era, it is not clear at all.

"The only disadvantage is that this sweet potato is sweet and must have less salt. If soldiers eat this for a long time, they may die violently.

Ma Chao was still chewing a piece of sweet potato at this time, but after hearing Jia Xuyou say this. He immediately spit out the sweet potatoes in surprise: the ancients had already discovered the importance of salt at the end of the Han Dynasty?

When Jia Xu saw Ma Chao looking at him like this, he felt a little modest and arched his hand and said, "This kind of gossip made the master laugh."

"Old fox, old fox, I really didn't see it..." Ma Chao patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and almost slapped Jia Xu underground. He was thinking about how to praise Jia Xu's awesomeness, but he couldn't remember any good words. Finally, I could only change the topic and ask, "How is this about Lv Bu's war?"

"It all depends on the power of the Lord Tiger..." Jia Xu answered while eating, but was interrupted by Ma Chao: "Don't talk about these useless things. Who doesn't know who?"

"The lord's words are bad. If the lord is still the young master, the old man dares to talk nonsense to the young master. However, the lord is now the general of Dahan Town West and the head of the Ma family!" Jia Xu stood up and saluted Ma Chao respectfully before saying, "Since ancient times, the master and servant are different. If the name is not correct, the words will not be obedient. If the Lord is not strict, it will be disrespectful. The lord is full of talents under his command, and the hope of progress is known all over the world. In the future, countless counselors and generals will come to fight with each other. If the lord no longer forms a group with his subordinates, he will lose the prestige of the Ma family and be despised by the world..."

Ma Chao curled his lips. These days, he clearly saw that those civil servants and generals had a trace of fear and alienated him a lot. Now, on the one thing, what they have done in these days really impresses them, and on the other, I'm afraid it's because their roles have changed, and these people gradually intend to keep a little distance from themselves.

Ma Chao knows some of the art of leadership. However, as Jia Xu said, deliberately pretending to be 'I am the master' at any time will make his subordinates feel superficial. Only when they sincerely unify the values and general direction of the whole group can their subordinates sincerely be in awe of the leaders. Therefore, seeing that Jia Xu, the old fox, also had these bureaucratic ideas, he opened his mouth and said:

"If you don't convince people with strength, you won't be convinced by your heart, and you won't support them. If you don't convince people by the power, you can't be convinced. Only those who convince people with virtue can be happy and sincerely convinced in their hearts. Ma Chao waved his hand and did not accept Jia Xu's bow. Instead, he continued to say, "Is it a young master or a lord? It's still Ma Chaoer. At the time of the young master, although the advisers and generals were more cordial, the rewards and punishments of the military regulations were clear, and someone also did it in accordance with the law. All his subordinates were convinced and worked well. Why did he deliberately do nothing after becoming the lord of the Lord?

After listening to this, Jia Xu said with a mysterious smile, "If the lord understands this, why do you only talk to me?"

Ma Chao was stared, and then laughed out loud: "Old fox, old fox, you are turning around and saying that I have been cold and ruthless these days, which has chilled the hearts of my subordinates..."

After saying this, Ma Chao got up and bowed deeply and said sincerely to Jia Xu, "Thank you for your correction. The day before yesterday, Ma Chao lost his behavior due to the loss of his father. Now that Yan Xing has been destroyed, Tieqiang League has solved itself and repented in his heart. In the future, we will no longer mess up the army with the mood of one person.

"If you know mistakes, you can correct them. Jia Xu also returned a salute and continued to say to Ma Chao, "Lord, Lv Bushi is a talented general, and the wolf riding in Bingzhou is also the best in the world. This time, someone and filial piety have used a series of tricks, but they still haven't done anything. Lv Bu is arrogant, but the cavalry is in control. The eight generals under his subordinates are not mediocrity. They are really strong enemies. If it hadn't been for the discord between Hu Jun and Lv Bu..."

After talking for a long time, Ma Chao found that Fa Zheng did not come. I couldn't help interrupting Jia Xu's nonsense and asked him, "Where is filial piety?"

"It has gone deep into the mountains and forests to harass the enemy as the leader of the thief." Jia Xu replied.

"Lone?" Ma was shocked: How did this make it? Don't let this seeker have died in Xianyang before he grows up, and he will lose a lot!

"Three thousand Xiliang iron riders follow each other, don't worry, Lord." Speaking of this, Jia Xu sighed and said with some embarrassment, "Before the lord came first, a man commanded 2,000 iron riders to attack 800 troops of Lv Bu, but he did not do his best and was extremely ashamed..."

"Oh? What about 800 people?" Ma Chao knew how powerful his light cavalry was. 5,000 people were killed and 10,000 people were lost on the prairie. How come he couldn't even get rid of 800 soldiers when he got here?

"Or two people holding shields, or two people holding knives, or three people holding guns, moderately advancing and retreating, attacking like fire, defending like forests, with firm eyes and resolute eyes. Speaking of the method of controlling troops and training, someone is not as good as a lieutenant..." With that, Jia Xu was a little shy, and Ma Chao found it very interesting.

"Is that captain Gao Shun?" Ma Chao asked with a smile, except for Gao Shun's 800 trap camp at the end of the Han Dynasty, who else can make the old fox suffer?

"How did the lord know?" Jia Xu was surprised. Even he sent a scout yesterday to inquire about this captain he had never paid attention to. Ma Chao was new to Xianyang. How did he know? Is it the Shadow Camp...

"This man has heard of it for a long time. He is resolute and steady, clear and decisive. He has 800 armored and weapons under him. He strictly defends military discipline and is invincible. He has the reputation of being trapped in the camp'. The teacher doesn't know the details, but he just suffers a secret loss. He doesn't have to hide Yu's affairs. Don't worry about it. Ma Chao explained with a smile, but he didn't want Jia Xu to have a pimple in his heart because of this.

However, to be honest, how can a person like Jia Xu take this little thing to heart, but muttered, "If such a talent can be used by the Ma army..."

but Ma Chao sighed deeply: "This man is loyal and loyal to his duty. If he is forced to seduce, I'm afraid he will not follow his wishes..."
