Chapter 118 Diao Chan (Part 1)
Zhao Yun received the general order and immediately left the tent, integrating the troops preparing for war.
Seeing that the generals left one after another, Ma Chao walked into the hall and took Guo Jia and Zhang Liao's hands and said, "Fengxiao, Wenyuan, and Yongliang's affairs will be entrusted to you from today. When I am not here, you will be the governor of the states on behalf of the state. You can make a reward and punishment decision, and you must not make any mistakes!"
"Please rest assured, Young Master, we will never let down our entrustion." Guo Jia and Zhang Liao responded with a sigh.
Ma Chao nodded and said, "From now on, Yongzhou has entered a state of combat readiness. All the officials are busy with their affairs. Let's go down and prepare. General Zilong and I will secretly leave the city in the middle of the night. You don't have to come and see you off."
"Take care for your care!" Guo Jia, Zhang Liao and other generals bowed and retreated.
Looking at the backs of Zhang Liao and the others leaving, Ma Chao was quite confident. Not to mention Guo Jia, just Zhang Liao's talent alone could take on the task of the entire Yongzhou. Zhang Liao is a man with both civil and military affairs, calm and reasonable, and is actually a talent for commander, and is comparable to ordinary generals.
"Don't look at me, you two are staying in Chang'an City this time, and don't even think about going there." When Ma Chao was still awakened from his thoughts, he saw Zou Fei and Cai Yan staring at him, so he naturally understood their thoughts.
"As general's personal soldiers, we should follow our side and hope that the general will be successful." After hearing this, Zou Fei and the other women knelt in front of Ma Chao and begged.
Ma Chao stared at the two girls and said, "It's not okay to be afraid of death. As a soldier, you must also dare to kill people, and it's unreasonable to kill people. Can you do this?"
"Bang!" Zou Fei drew his sword in his hand and shouted, "Why don't you dare?"
Although Cai Yan has been practicing swordsmanship for a long time, she is obviously not mentally prepared for murder, so she can't help but hesitate.
"Sister Yan'er, are you scared? Didn't we agree to go to the battlefield together?" Zou Fei complained in dissatisfaction when she saw Cai Yan timidly.
"Zou Fei, you said you dare to kill people, right? Well. The camp is slaughtering sheep, and preparing to reward the soldiers before going to war. Now you carry a sword to kill ten sheep, and take another pot of sheep blood, drink it in front of me, and I will allow you to go to war; Wen Ji, you are the same." Ma Chao did not object immediately, but made his own request coldly.
"If you go, go, sister Yan'er, let's go." Zou Fei shouted angrily, pulling Cai Yan and leaving.
"Brother Meng Qi, I won't go." Cai Yan struggled inside and finally softened.
"Hmph, I'll go." Zou Fei turned her head and left the big tent.
Seeing Zou Fei leaving in anger, Ma Chao shook his head and smiled bitterly. Cai Yan also looked at Ma Chao with apologetic expression and looked aggrievedly.
Seeing the beauty's resentment, Ma Chao was a little at a loss and followed her to take Cai Yan's hand. He laughed softly and said, "Yan'er, if you want to do something beneficial for me or for the people of the world, it is not just about going to the battlefield, but this path can be taken."
"If I remember correctly, you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In fact, this is your strengths. You can apply what you have learned. Now, most of the civil and military generals in Chang'an City have their own families. I believe that in a few years, they will have children. If I set up a college now and build a bridge for you, you can teach and educate people in the future. You can also establish good relationships with those generals and wives. This will be of great benefit to the stability of our rear. Isn't this more beneficial than going to the battlefield?"
This is the first time Cai Yan has been holding the jade hand so intimately. She is inevitably excited and she is looking forward to something in her heart. However, when Ma Chao finished speaking, Cai Yan realized that Ma Chao was not trying to do something to him, but a subconscious behavior.
Although she was inevitably disappointed, Ma Chao's words were deeply moved. What a great cause it is to teach and educate people. She clearly remembered that her father once said that if you cannot do useful things for the people of the world in life, it is better to be a Confucian scholar, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and teach to educate future generations.
It can not only teach but also help Ma Chao stabilizes the rear. Cai Yan thought about it, but he was unhappy. He couldn't help but leaned in Ma Chao's arms and said softly: "Brother Meng Qi, Yan'er is what he listens to you."
The beauty was in her arms, and her body was faintly fragrant, and she rushed towards her face. Ma Chao felt intoxicated and her mood was inevitably ups and downs. She couldn't help but hold her hands tightly on Cai Yan's waist.
Cai Yan's body suddenly became tense, his breathing was a little rapid and buried his head in Ma Chao's arms, and his heart was filled with deep joy.
However, just as Ma Chao was full of desire and wanted to take the next move, the personal soldiers outside the tent shouted: "Young master, the female official of the Shangshu Diao Chan, asked for a visit."
Ma Chao and Cai Yan looked at each other with eyes. Thinking of what they had just done, their hearts were filled with sweet joy. Ma Chao immediately stood up and helped Cai Yan up.
"Please come in." Ma Chao replied in a low voice, "Yan'er, let's make the decision on the academy. You go down and rest first. I will write a handwritten book and ask Junshi Guo to arrange the staff and prepare for the school's miscellaneous matters."
"Brother Meng Qi, this trip is a thousand miles away, you must take care of yourself. Yan'er is waiting for you to come back." Cai Yan's eyes were filled with tears, and he plucked up the courage to kiss Ma Chao's cheek, and then turned around and ran away.
When Cai Yan first arrived at the door, Diao Chan happened to enter. Although Cai Yan was wearing men's clothing and personal soldiers' clothing, based on the woman's intuition, Diao Chan could see at a glance that the personal soldiers should be a woman.
The two women's eyes flashed through each other, and they nodded to show their heads and then passed by.
Ma Chao was very worried. Although Diao Chan came to Chang'an for nearly a month, because Ma Chao had a lot of affairs and Diao Chan was named a female official by Empress Dowager He and had always lived in Changle Palace, both of them had only had a few brief meetings in the palace. Therefore, Diao Chan did not know the existence of the two girls Cai Yan and Zou Fei.
"Young Master, why did the girl just now pretend to be a personal soldier's costume? Who is she? "Dia Chan asked the first sentence, which shows that no matter what kind of woman she is, she will be jealous.
Ma Chao secretly cried out ashamed and thought to himself with a blaming voice: Am I too fickle?
Despite this, Ma Chao still smiled and greeted her, walked up to her and hugged her, and joked: "Is my new wife very beautiful?"
"I don't believe it if I hate it." The woman's thoughts are always strange. When she tells the truth, she doesn't believe it. At this moment, Diao Chan obviously looks disbelief.
"Haha... Let me take a good look. My wife, have you been more beautiful recently." Ma Chao let Diao Chan loose from her arms and looked at the beauty in front of her with a smile. She was still so beautiful, with a light yellow gauze skirt and a beautiful pretty face. She smiled lightly, her eyelashes blinked, and her hazy eyes like water mist. The most charming part was her charming temperament revealed in her purity. It was an innate beauty of temptation.
Under Ma Chao's gaze, a red cloud appeared on Diao Chan's face and she lowered her head shyly and said, "Why do you think of others like this!"
Ma Chao was about to answer, and Zou Fei, covered in blood, broke in with a wine pot and shouted: "General, my subordinates have killed ten fat sheep in a row. Now I have brought a pot of blood. Please see if I finish drinking it."
Before Ma Chao could stop him, Zou Fei raised the blood pot with both hands, raised her head and started drinking. Ma Chao didn't expect that this girl would really dare to do this. In amazement, he hurried forward, grabbed her wine pot, and said pity: "Silly girl, enough, I promise you that you are. Go down and change it. Pack your luggage and set off at night at 3 o'clock."
"Thank you, General." Zou Fei looked gloomy and licked the blood on her lips, with an expression that she had not fulfilled, and said thanking her loudly.
When Zou Fei turned around and left, she saw Diao Chan standing in the tent. Her eyes couldn't help but jump, and a feeling of discomfort appeared in her heart. She glanced over Diao Chan coldly, then turned around and walked out.
Ma Chao smiled bitterly, thinking that Zou Fei could always make amazing moves. When she recalled her expression just now, Ma Chao had a strong premonition that she would sooner or later become a blood-eating female general in the future.
"Young Master, why is the look of which female soldier just now so scary?" Diao Chan remembered the look of Zou Fei looking at her, and she felt a little chill.
Ma Chao sighed, pulled Diao Chan and sat down, and told Diao Chan about the tragic death of Zou Fei's family.
"Which sister is so pitiful? Meng Qi, you must take good care of her in the future." Diao Chan couldn't help but feel sympathy after hearing Zou Fei's story.
Ma Chao nodded with a smile and asked, "Can'er, why did you come to me so soon?"
"I just received a report from the palace maid who bought it, saying that I heard some war reports, so the empress dowager sent me to see if it was true?" Diao Chan leaned against Ma Chao's arms and asked with her head raised.
"Yes, Han Sui from Xiliang has rebelled. I will lead the army to fight him tonight. I believe it will win soon, so don't worry." Ma Chao said lightly. He didn't want to cause any psychological pressure to Diao Chan.
"Oh!" Although nothing was revealed in Ma Chao's words, Diao Chan still sensitively realized that Ma Chao must have had a lot of trouble this time.
After thinking for a while, Diao Chan mustered up his courage to look up at Ma Chao and said, "Young Master, you want the cicada, the cicada is willing to give everything to you."
Looking at the show face in front of him, Ma Chao hesitated without feeling hesitation. It was not that he was not moved, but that he was worried that if something happened to him, what would she do in the future?
"Young Master, the cicada is your man in birth, and the death is your ghost in death. There is no regret in this life." As soon as Diao Chan finished speaking, he hugged Ma Chao's bear waist shyly.
Feeling the beauty's affection, Ma Chao couldn't help but put down his burden, lowered his head and kissed her red lips, spread his tongue, and his two tongues were entangled together like a bond, enjoying this passionate warmth.
"...Young Master, don't be here?" Diao Chan moaned, let go of his mouth without saying a tongue, and said shyly.
