Ma Chao said this. There was a roar of laughter in the hall. Xu Chu clapped his hands and yelled: "Ma Chao. Did you fall in love with someone's girl? Tell me. I'll be a matchmaker for you."
Ma Teng's face couldn't hold back. He got up and said: "The child is talking nonsense. Please also ask the Lord to recite his ignorance. Forgive him this time."
Liu Xin's tears almost burst into laughter. I heard Ma Teng said. I feel a little embarrassed. Quickly coughed twice. Said: "Ma Chao is straightforward. It's really an appetite for Liu. Public platform. You have no problem now."
in fact. Chen Gong still has questions. Ma Chao is not a woman. Find a stable woman to check it out. I know if it's a virgin. Are you a young man who can prove it. but. Liu Xin has already said so. The faces of everyone in the hall still couldn't stop smiling. Chen Gong also nodded.
Liu Xin waved his hand. Said: "Degui. You can bring people down."
Cai Tao promised. Busily went to arrange an "outside house" for Liu Xin.
Zhao Yun saw that this incident finally ended successfully. Also relieved. Hand over. Said: "Lord Qiqi. There are several horses. They are in the courtyard."
The Huns who have many tribes are good horses. And Zhao Yun and the others are experts in knowing horses. Can be brought back by them as war trophies. It's definitely not an ordinary Fanma. Liu Xin nodded. Said: "Let's go. Let's go and see together."
There are a total of four horses in the yard. They are all strong physiques. Strong posture. Ma Chao was born in Xiliang. Especially fond of steeds. He took the initiative to explain. These four horses. A pure white horse. It was dedicated to Liu Xin by Hu Chuquan. A snow-green color. There are many black spots on it. It is Liu Bao's mount. The other two dark horses. It was Yuvro's mount. When introduced, the horse was completely dark. Four-hoofed snow-white oolong time. Ma Chao was obviously reluctant. Taixue Oolongcha also seems to be quite human. Actually lowered his head. Affectionately rubbed Ma Chao's face twice.
After the trophies are offered, they must be rewarded by meritorious deeds. And qualified to accept Liu Xin's direct award. Only Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Xia Houlan were left.
Xiahoulan's martial arts are mediocre. The accumulated credit is not enough for promotion. Liu Xin gave him two hundred taels of silver. Of course he won't give him cash. They are two hundred taels of silver notes issued by the Dahan Bank. One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand yuan in Zhongping Tongbao. Two hundred taels of silver is two hundred thousand dollars. A lot of money.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are both army commanders. There is nowhere to be promoted in official positions. Liu Xin each gave them one thousand taels of silver. but. Liu Xin said again: "BMW presents a hero. Liu is not going to fight. It's useless to ask those horses. Zilong. Give that white horse to you. Han Sheng. That snow green horse is yours."
As a military commander. No one doesn't want to have a horse like a horse. Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were overjoyed. Even claimed to be thankful. But Zhang Fei was seen jumping up from the chair. Yelled: "Big Brother. Give me a horse anyway."
Liu Xin frowned. Said: "The third brother. You did not participate in this expedition. Naturally, there is no credit. If I give you the horse, others are afraid that they will have opinions."
Zhang Fei said disapprovingly: "Big brother, what do you say. These horses are now owned by the eldest brother. The eldest brother gives it to whomever he wants. I am the eldest brother's brother. The eldest brother gave the horse to me. Who can make irresponsible remarks."
He didn't want to think about it. Liu Xin's married brother is more than one. Except for Zhang Xi, he didn't rush back in Jiangnan. Xu Huang, Dianwei, and Xu Chuke are all here.
Xu Huang stood up and said, "Enlighten the lord. The third brother has also done a lot of credit. Please ask the lord to give him a good horse. The final will have no objection to evil and Zhong Kang."
in fact. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were also jealous. It just didn't have time to speak. Let Zhang Fei take the lead. Now Xu Huang is getting stuck. Had to stare.
Why didn't Xu Huang want a good horse? They are all military commanders. On the battlefield, one must be born to death. The war horse is their partner. A good horse can not only improve their combat effectiveness. It can even determine their life and death. but. Xu Huang didn't want Liu Xin to be embarrassed. So take the initiative to stand up and help him.
Liu Xin naturally understood what Xu Huang meant. Nodded. Said: "Since the second brother said so. Then the third. You can pick one by yourself."
Those two are black horses. It's just that a horse is completely dark. A horse with four hoofs is snow white. Zhang Fei did not hesitate to choose the black horse. He also said cheerfully: "I look black. With this black horse. It's a pair. It should belong to me."
It caused everyone to laugh again.
Liu Xin raised his hand. Stop everyone's laughter. Said: "Ma Chao..."
But Chen Gong stood up. He folded his hands and said: "Enjoy the lord. The lord stayed overnight at the Huns' account. The rebellion is unruly. The subordinates think it should be severely punished."
The words came out. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious. Ma Teng glanced at his precious son. There is a feeling of hating iron but not steel. Lin San had already reported to Ma Teng about everything on the Xiongnu grassland. Overnight in the tent of the King of the Huns, leaving the women of the Xiongnu Shanyu in the tent, and not sending troops to reinforce the Shangguan. These three things are taboos in officialdom. Ma Teng was careful from the moment he entered the hall. I don't know when these things will break out. Just now. The fact that the women who left the Xiongnu Danyu in the tent was finally blocked. But he stayed overnight at the Huns’ account but it was hard to explain it anyway.
If Chen Gong kept silent today. Liu Xin really planned to pretend to be confused. Who knows that if you don't say anything, it's not Chen Gong. Liu Xin had to ponder for a moment. Asked: "Public platform. In your opinion. What should I do."
Chen Gong is a trustworthy person. He had already agreed to Liu Xin's handling opinions that day. Naturally, it will not be too embarrassing. So he clasped his fists. He said: "Go back to the lord. The subordinates thought. The reason Ma Chao did such a violent thing. It is because he was young and ignorant. He can not be investigated. Just remove him from the official position. You can be demoted to a pawn."
This statement came out. Ma Chao was furious. He wanted to stand up and make great achievements. Get another promotion. Not only is promotion hopeless now. Also cut him into a pawn. How can I call him so emotional. Ma Chao clenched his fists. His eyes widened. Staring at Chen Gong. Facing the murderous aura exuded by Ma Chao. Chen Gong is not afraid. And smiled at him slightly. Ma Chao was so angry that he really wanted to curse. Just in front of so many faces. He did not dare to be presumptuous.
Zhao Yun hurriedly got up and said, "Leader Qiqi. This time on the grassland. He knew that Yuvro had sent someone to attack Huchuquan. But he was able to judge the situation. He held the camp firmly. He did not send troops rashly. Just this composure. That's enough. He has the talent of a general. And this time. Ma Chao really did a great job. Please let the Lord think about his youth and ignorance. Allow him to offset the merits."
In Ma Teng's view, this matter is a taboo in officialdom. However, Zhao Yun and Chen Gong are not idlers. Naturally they can see very clearly. Know that Ma Chao is right to do this.
Not waiting for Liu Xin to answer. Chen Gong has preemptively said: "Gong is gong. Passing is demerit. How can it be offset. Please the Lord to justly break it."
Liu Xin sighed. Said: "Ma Chao. Liu also knows that you are brave and good at fighting. But what the public platform says is good. You will be rewarded if you have merit. If you have done it, you will be punished. Only if you have done it, you can be punished. Position. Do you choose to be a pawn or to retire."
The expression on Ma Chao's face changed. It seems difficult to choose. a long time. Finally gritted his teeth. Said: "In that case. Ma retired from the army."
Ma Teng furiously said: "You rebel. You. You. I'm so angry."
What Liu Xin said just now was very clear. Reward for merit. There is a penalty. Ma Teng has so many years of experience. Liu Xin seems to have deliberately justified Ma Chao. and. The three sins he has been worried about today. The first case has been uncovered. The third case was also turned into merit by Zhao Yun. Now only this second sin remains. Several credits made by Ma Chaoli can be completely offset. Even if it cannot be offset by credit now. For these credits he made. It is not impossible to re-promote from a pawn to a partial general. but. Ma Chao actually chose to retire. Then there is no hope.
Ma Chao is a very proud man. Their Ma family can also be considered a powerful team in Xiliang. When Ma Teng took the initiative to serve Liu Xin. He was not willing. But the situation is better than people. If you do not choose to cast effect at that time. The Ma family will face the brutal blows of the Han army. Ended up like Han Sui. You must know that Han Sui's strength at the time was much better than that of their Ma family.
but. Ma Chao is still unwilling. Even if he cannot become the overlord of one party. The assisting person should also be a bright master. At least have a broad mind. He stayed overnight at the Huns’ account. The woman left in Uvro. Just to test Liu Xin's attitude towards herself. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin really listened to Chen Gong's "slander". Be suspicious of myself. Then what else does he have nostalgia for. Just leave the army directly.
"Shoucheng. This is not your place to teach your son." Liu Xin waved his hand. Stop the angry Ma Teng. Turning to Ma Chao and said. "Ma Chao. Liu respects your choice. You will be dismissed from the military by the Ministry of War in a while. From now on. You are an ordinary citizen."
Ma Chao let out a "hum". No answer. Just looked at Liu Xin coldly.
Liu Xin saw that his expression was not good. But disapproving. Continued: "However. You still have to be rewarded for your contributions. You have broken the tribes of Liu Bao and Yufro successively. It has a decisive effect on the entire battlefield. Each of these two contributions will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
There was a burst of admiration in the hall. Such rewards are not unreasonable. Even Zhao Yun is the commander of the army. Only a thousand taels of silver was awarded. It seems that this is Liu Xin's compensation for Ma Chao's dismissal.
But Ma Chao was disdainful. Although such a reward is generous. But his ambition is to prancing horse world. How can you care about these yellow and white things. Don't stay here. Own Master's Office. Ma Chao has been born to go.
But Liu Xin said again: "In addition to these two achievements. Ma Chao's death to Froe is also a great achievement. It deserves a great reward."
