Chapter 466 Ma Teng, Ma Chao: The advantage is mine
“This is really great news!
Grandpa, this time we can send troops happily!"
Ma Chao, who was holding a gun in his hand, immediately started talking with a smile after hearing the news from his father, and he looked extremely excited.
What a golden opportunity!
This is a golden opportunity!
He was worried that the people in Guandong would not take action. He would be under great pressure to attack Guanzhong alone. As a result, at this time, Zhu Jun raised a flag of righteousness in Zhongmou and called on the world to join forces to attack Guanzhong. This was terrible. Really an excellent news!
Ma Teng also had a smile on his face, but he did not immediately agree with his son's proposal to send troops. Instead, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait and see."
Ma Chao suddenly became anxious.
In the past, we had to wait. Now that such a good opportunity has appeared, why do you, father, keep waiting?
Is this too much for a mother-in-law?
For these adults, doing things is troublesome and not enjoyable at all.
"Father, are you worried that Zhu Jun's revolt is false news? Or is Zhu Jun colluding with Dong Zhuo in advance?"
Ma Chao suppressed his anxiety and dissatisfaction and looked at Ma Teng to ask.
Ma Teng smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "I'm not worried about this, this kind of thing will never happen.
You are young and don't know much about Zhu Jun. You don't know what kind of person he is.
In the past, this person led many troops in battles and experienced many battles. The Yellow Turban Uprising that swept the world was able to be quickly put out. Zhu Jun put in a lot of effort in it.
In terms of military exploits, combat power, and prestige, Dong Zhuo could not compare to Zhu Jun before.
This person looked down on Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo had previously stolen power, occupied Luoyang, and wanted to appoint Zhu Jun as deputy prime minister. Zhu Jun refused and looked for an opportunity to leave Dong Zhuo.
This is tantamount to breaking with Dong Zhuo.
For a veteran minister like him to stand up and call on the world at this time, he must really want to take action against Dong Zhuo."
Hearing this, Ma Chao nodded and said, "Do you think Zhu Jun can't gather many soldiers and horses to make a big splash and attract too many Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses?"
Ma Teng shook his head again: "That's not the case.
Zhu Junnai is a veteran of the Han Dynasty and is very famous. Although the Han Dynasty has become like this at this time, those people in Guandong are also constantly fighting.
However, as long as Zhu Jun makes his attitude clear and stands up to raise an uprising flag to attack the rebels, someone will definitely respond and the momentum will not be too small."
Ma Chao seemed puzzled: "If this is the case, then why do you continue to wait and don't take action quickly?
If we don't take action quickly and really wait for Dong Zhuo to quickly deal with Zhu Jun, it will be difficult for us to find another strong foreign aid.
After being defeated by Dong Zhuo several times in a row, there are really not many people who dare to rise up again and declare their conflict with Dong Zhuo."
Ma Teng smiled and said: "You are capable, but you are still a little too impatient.
I am not in a hurry to raise troops now, not because I cannot afford troops, but because I want to see Chang'an's reaction.
Don't worry about Zhu Jun, he won't be wiped out for a while, he is a veteran who often uses troops..."
When Ma Chao heard this, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He even wanted to criticize his father, wondering if he had forgotten about Yizhou.
The terrain in Yizhou is much more steep, and it's also rich.
When Guanzhong began to use troops against Yizhou, you said that it would take at least two years for Guanzhong to completely capture Yizhou.
But what’s the result?
Not even two months passed before Yizhou was suppressed.
Now you are not in a hurry and want to take another look at the situation.
I really waited and waited, but the news I wanted to wait for did not come, but I did wait for the news that Zhu Jun was beaten to a pulp...
Ma Chao, the filial son of the Three Kingdoms, kept complaining about his father in his heart.
"Grandpa, what news are you waiting for?"
Ma Chao asked aloud, looking a little restless.
Ma Teng glanced at his eldest son and said, "We're waiting for news about the traitor Liu Cheng.
I want to see if the thief really had a falling out with Dong Zhuo.
The key to attacking Guanzhong this time is not actually Zhu Jun who raised the uprising flag in Guandong, but the traitor Liu in Guanzhong.
As long as Liu and Dong really have a conflict and fall out, then the attack on Guanzhong this time will be really safe.
It's the kind of sure thing.
The enemy is difficult to hit from the outside, just like a metal barrel, but if the inside is damaged first, then it will be easy to hit him too much in the future."
Ma Chao nodded after hearing this.
Although he was not convinced in his heart and did not think that Uncle Liu Huang could withstand the gun in his hand, but Liu Cheng's record in the past was there, Ma Chao had to admit in his heart that this Liu thief called Uncle Liu Huang must be He is his own biggest opponent.
At least that's the case among the characters I know.
"I know that you have always wanted to lead troops into battle. You have excellent talents in marching and fighting, and you have strong martial arts skills, so you are not convinced by many people.
This is easy to understand.
When I was your age, my martial arts skills were not as good as yours, but I was still dissatisfied with everyone, except of course the stick in your grandfather's hand.
It is necessary for young people to have some spirit. Without spirit, they are not young people.
However, it can’t just be vigor, it also requires a certain amount of thinking.”
Ma Chao nodded solemnly when he heard this.
"The battle with Guanzhong is certain, it's just a matter of timing.
This time we attack Guanzhong, will my son be the vanguard?"
Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao and said with a smile.
When Ma Chao heard this, he was immediately excited.
He had always longed for the position of vanguard in the attack on Guanzhong, and had mentioned it several times, both covertly and openly.
It's just that his father has never given him a clear answer, always saying to wait.
This made Ma Chao very depressed.
How could Ma Chao not be happy when he suddenly heard these words from his father?
He immediately clasped his fists, saluted Ma Teng solemnly, and said loudly, "My child is willing!"
The young man's energy is like the spear beside him!
When Ma Teng saw this, the smile on his face became fuller. He was really satisfied with his eldest son.
Ma Teng nodded, his face regained some seriousness, and said to Ma Chao: "Come closer."
After hearing this, Ma Chao came to his father.
Under Ma Chao's gaze, Ma Teng took out a small box from the box on the side.
The box was opened, and inside was a bamboo crown that looked a little old.
After hearing his father's words, seeing the change in his demeanor, and seeing the bamboo crown, Ma Chao already understood what his father was going to do next.
He wants to crown himself.
Once you are crowned, you become an adult.
Once you are crowned, you can become a vanguard and officially lead the troops to defend against the enemy.
After being crowned, in the military formation, although there are still some people who feel that they are too young, no one will say that they are still young.
Treat yourself like a grown-up.
To be honest, Ma Chao has been looking forward to being crowned for a long time. He has long been eager to grow up and spread his wings to fly.
I have thought about my adult crowning ceremony many times.
Thinking about it, according to his father's status and power, as well as his heroic appearance and talents, the crowning ceremony will definitely be very grand.
My father would invite famous and powerful people to come here to participate in his crowning ceremony.
There will be a big banquet.
He will also prepare an extremely precious crown and wear it for himself under the spotlight.
but now……
It was obvious that his father wanted to crown himself and then make himself a vanguard to face the enemy. However, none of the crowning ceremonies he had dreamed about before appeared.
There is no grand ceremony, no many distinguished guests, and no large-scale banquet.
Not even a good crown!
This left Ma Chao with a big gap in his heart.
