Chapter 423 Mengda Meets Ma Chao in the Living Room (End)
Then, in the end, there were only Yan Yan and his group of people left, including Meng Da, who were the most troublesome people. If Meng Da didn't come here today, or didn't say these things to him, then Ma Chao wouldn't really think about these things without anyone reminding him. But now Meng Da is already here and has put forward his own ideas. Then at this time, it would be impossible for Ma Chao to not think too much.
At this moment, he said to Meng Da: "I understand what Zijing means, but I still have to ask, I don't know if Zijing means at this time, is it his own idea, or if others have such an idea?"
Of course, Ma Chao is definitely not asking this question. He knows that Meng Da understands what he means. Did you ask others and then take the lead, or did you say no one to anyone, just come here to find me? But when Ma Chao is the lord, it is impossible for him to ask directly, so it is a more tactful way to ask.
Meng Da smiled when he heard this, "Lord, this is just the personal thought of my subordinates. What others think, I don't know this!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he thought to himself that Meng Da is a relatively selfish person, so he came here for himself!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But all this was as expected, so there was nothing unexpected happening. And I believe that Meng Da might have some concerns. After all, he, the lord, didn't know whether he would agree with him to discuss with the generals of Yizhou or to hate this. Therefore, based on his personality, Meng Da, it is indeed difficult for him to discuss with everyone for this matter.
Indeed, if I don’t blame anything, then everything will be fine. But if my lord is unhappy or dissatisfied, then isn’t that a problem?
After hearing Meng Da say this, Ma Chao nodded slightly, "Zijing, you know how to contribute to our army. Actually, I am very pleased. But you have been away from Sili for a long time. If you continue to take you to the battle, then don't talk about Sili's affairs, don't talk about Sili's affairs. Who should I leave it to?"
Ma Chao made it clear, I took you away, but Yan Yan and the others knew what they thought. And there is another point, you left, but who should leave Sili's affairs to care about? This is not all a problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao is indeed not afraid of trouble, this is good. But he also knows that the fewer troubles, the better, which is normal. If you can avoid these problems, try not to have these problems. But it is not that Ma Chao said he would not take Meng Da away. The key is to see how Meng Da convinced him. If he had the ability to convince Ma Chao, Ma Chao might not have given him a chance. Although Meng Da's character is not very good at Ma Chao, he is indeed a talent.
Therefore, even if you can't take on big things, there will always be no problem if you use it in small ways.
After Meng Da heard his lord's words, this was actually as expected. So he asked directly: "What is the lord's meaning? Is it not to give my subordinates such a chance?"
When Ma Chao heard this, he smiled and looked at Meng Da with some playfulness, "What do you think Zijing, what?
When Meng Da saw his lord's expression, he thought to himself, it seemed that his lord's meaning was...
He hurriedly said, "Lord, my subordinates have some immature ideas, I want to say it to him!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao smiled and said, "Zijing has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"
"No! Lord, my subordinates think that the two things that the lord is concerned about can still be solved!"
"Oh? Zijing said it carefully, let me see if there is any reason?"
When Meng Da heard this, he thought that there was still a way to do this, at least his lord didn't say anything directly. If he really said that, even if he said it out loud, his lord would not change his mind. Therefore, this is his lord giving him a chance, so he has to seize it. If he can't grasp it, there will be no such opportunity again.
At this time, Meng Da said again: "Lord, this subordinate came to ask the lord for this matter, and it can be said that no one else knew about it. So the subordinate dared to return to Sili first, and then leave secretly. I think as long as no one comes to look for him, it may not be the time when everyone knows it!"
Ma Chao nodded when he heard this, let alone what Meng Da said actually makes sense.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What Meng Da said was simple, that is, go back to Sili first, don’t say anything, don’t express anything. Anyway, although most of the people are working in Sili, they are not in the same county. Therefore, after Meng reaches his own place, he takes the opportunity to sneak away and come to find him. If basically no one goes to find him, he really doesn’t know that he is stealing and running to find him.
As for saying "there is no airtight wall", it is certain that this matter will be revealed sooner or later. But at least when Yan Yan and others know, they will no longer see themselves for the time being. At that time, they may not be in somewhere. They may have fought against Cao Cao and others, or they may have left Sili and went to other places, which is possible.
Then when they see them again in the future, they don’t know when it will be. It’s actually not a big deal to give them an explanation. However, they are the lords, not them, so whether they explain to them or not is actually a big deal.
Of course, if my lord is a bit favorable to one and the other, and takes Meng Da away without them, and this matter needs to be explained to them, it is not unreasonable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao asked at this time: "Zijing, don't know how you thought about the second question?"
In fact, the second question is. Ma Chao thinks it is simpler. After all, if Meng Da just says to change someone, it will be over.
As a result, Meng Da said, "Lord, my subordinates think that you can let..."
Meng Da really gave face and directly recommended someone to his lord to take over him. When Ma Chao heard this, he thought, why are you not creative? This is as expected. This is really meaningless!
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no other idea except this. As for Meng Da, he dares to tell him, "You must have your ideas," so my subordinates won't say much. Anyway, he really dares not say that.
If he doesn't do this, he can only recommend someone to replace him. Of course, it's his own business whether he uses it or not. But he, Meng Da and Meng Zijing, really recommended it, which is enough.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao thought at this time, OK. It seems that you have solved both of these things?
So he smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then Zijing will come to Chang'an as you said, and follow me at that time! But don't regret it, your position as the prefect is gone!"
Meng Da’s eyes were firm, “Don’t worry, lord, I will never regret it!”
Ma Chao nodded, thinking that this is the only way. Since Meng Da doesn't want to be that prefect, then just follow him, it's not a big deal. After all, Meng Da is also a person with ideas, and he has many generals under him, but if he really goes to fight on multiple fronts, it will definitely not be enough at that time. Just like when he was in the Southern Barbarians, Jingzhou would have to retain people, so he could only transfer people from Sili.
Otherwise, there would be no one in Yizhou and few in Liangzhou, and they would also shoulder the important task of resisting the Qiang people. I could only transfer people from Sili. But just that, Sili is still there now, so I am still at ease.
Later, he used Lu Xun's plan to mobilize Cao Cao to Youzhou, and at that time he felt more at ease.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cao Cao went to deal with Wuhuan, doesn’t it mean that Sili is safer? Anyway, Ma Chao thought so. He didn’t think that he had transferred Yan Yan and the others to Yizhou from Sili, and Cao Cao didn’t know, how could that be possible? But he knew, but he didn’t do anything. So, he still had concerns and didn’t even want to fight on several fronts, so...
"Okay, since you have made such a decision on your own, as long as you don't regret it! Then we will make the decision. After you return to Sili, come to me quietly!"
"No! Thank you lord!"
Ma Chao shook his head, "Zijing remember, I gave you the opportunity, but you have to fight for it yourself. You know what to do in the future!"
"Yes! My subordinates understand that I will live up to the lord's expectations!"
Ma Chao nodded and thought to himself that Meng Da, regardless of his character, is indeed a smart person, which is not bad at all. However, if he put some messy thoughts into the right place, his achievements will definitely be greater than those of the present.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you give him a chance, of course he also won it himself. How to walk in the future depends on his own. Anyway, the road under your feet has been taken out by yourself. How many of them are imposed on you by others? Therefore, it depends on your own!
In Ma Chao's eyes, it's still the same thing. If you, Meng Da, do things for yourself, then everything is easy to say. But if you are slick or even betray yourself, then you're sorry.
Ma Chao never thought he was a good person, nor was he a good man and a trustworthy woman. So Meng Da dared to betray him, so there was only one ending. As for whether he could let him go, there was only one answer, no!
For the betrayer, Ma Chao would definitely not have any good temper and good character. Of course, unless the other party has made great contributions to him and the Liangzhou Army, otherwise, he would not think that he would be able to show mercy. But for people like that, Ma Chao would hardly betray him. But to be honest, Meng Da did not make great contributions and did not make him so relieved, which is really hard to say.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao was determined to see Meng Da speak, but he sneered in his heart, saying Meng Da, Meng Da, I hope you can remember today's words in the future. If I, Ma Chao, are sorry for you, then you betray me and I admit it, it should be, and it is no big deal.
But if it wasn't for these reasons, if you were worthy of you and you still betray me, then I would have to be sorry for you.
Finally, Ma Chao said to him: "Okay, this matter will be agreed upon. Zijing, you can come to me!"
"promise!"
Meng Da was indeed happy. After all, even if he did this right, he would have taken the right step. If he didn't come to find his lord, then there would definitely be no such thing. So when he came, he gave himself the opportunity. Isn't this exactly what he wanted?
But my lord told me to do it well and don’t let him down, and I will definitely have no problem. Although I was appointed as the prefect before, and my official position seemed not small, it was not what I really wanted. What I wanted was greater and more credit, and a prefect could not satisfy myself!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not to mention, Meng Da’s heart is indeed quite big. At least one prefect will definitely not satisfy him. So he has to accumulate his military achievements and strive for a greater official position in the future. This is his own plan. So he came to his lord without hesitation and asked to follow him to fight, instead of being the prefect whom he looked down upon.
