Chapter 429 Ma Mengqi asked five people
Yan Pu actually had a lot of ideas, while Yang Ren was self-aware. But no matter what, both of them thought that if they wanted to let themselves die of old age in Hanzhong, they would not want to be even a more powerful official, and they were really unwilling to accept it. Therefore, it was impossible for them to be satisfied with Ma Chao in their hearts, and they were indeed dissatisfied.
But because Ma Chao is the lord, they know his temper and personality, and more importantly, both of them know their identities. Speaking of which, they are surrendered generals, Zhang Ji, Pang Rou, Wang Kang, and even Wang Ping, their identities are not as good as them.
So even Zhang Derong and the others who had followed their lord for so many years were not arranged by their lord to go to another place, so the two of them didn't dare to say anything. But they were really unwilling to give up. After all, it was true that they were different from Zhang Ji and others.
Although Zhang and his friends came to Hanzhong for many years, no matter how many more they were, they were not as much as they were.
-----------------------------------------------------
After all, they followed him in Hanzhong in the era of Zhang Lu, and until now. If they had to say that they had feelings for Hanzhong, they would definitely have feelings for each other, which was true. But to be honest, they really didn't want to die in Hanzhong today. They were promoted and made money, and they had already taken it lightly, but they really had complaints about their lords who arranged them here and did not let them touch the place.
But I just didn't dare to say anything. I kept it in my heart all the time, even though the two were both under Zhang Lu's tent, they didn't communicate. But they didn't communicate, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Ji couldn't see it at all. No matter what kind of talent Zhang Ji is, it doesn't need to say. Moreover, he has been working with the two for so many years and has known Yan Pu and Yang Ren a little, so he can indeed detect some things.
So Zhang has been more stable in Hanzhong, and he knew that it would be impossible not to talk to his lord. From now on, his lord has indeed ignored this matter. So he has the responsibility to remind his lord.
-----------------------------------------------------
So he refused and told his lord directly. As a result, his lord ignored it before, just like what he thought. This reminder was just right.
Then the two did not say much about this. Zhang Ji reported to Ma Chao about the nearest situation in Hanzhong, especially the places he visited, including Fangling and Shangyong. After all, these places are all counties closest to Jingzhou, so it can be said that they are really important. Even though Zhang Ji did not value Fangling so much before, he was in front of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army. After a few battles, he paid more attention to Fangling than before.
Because Zhang Ji discovered that if someone came from Jingzhou again, if he could defend well, then he could block many enemy troops in Fangling. So he didn't pay much attention to it before. Now he naturally pays more attention than before, so he had specially inspected several county towns in Fangling before, which was also considered to let the guards from all over the place, and even the officials in Hanzhong, know that he valued the places in Fangling.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao listened to Zhang Ji's report, and he kept nodding. What about Zhang Ji and Zhang Derong, a talent! Although Ma Chao had known this for a long time, listening to him saying this to him, many of his own opinions were mixed in. Even Ma Chao had to admit that Zhang Ji was indeed capable.
The so-called "it's not true or false, it's not true" is actually that. "It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk" is definitely a person with real skills, and it's really true that he made him the prefect of Hanzhong. I just don't know, does he really have no idea about him for so many years? Or...
Ma Chao believed that it would be better to ask clearly about this matter. As long as Zhang is not separated from him, even if he doesn't want to be here, he will give up his love and move him from Hanzhong to another place, and he will recognize him. After all, talent is there, and there are talents everywhere, so Hanzhong can only let others come. Maybe Yan Pu and Yang Ren and others do not want to be here, but many people who have never come to Han people have many who want to come, so they don't have to worry about no one coming.
-----------------------------------------------------
But how can an average person compare with Zhang Ji? So there is no suitable candidate, which is what he is concerned about, so Ma Chao asked directly: "Derong has been here for many years. I would like to ask Derong today, Derong, are you really willing to be here?"
Ma Chao thought it clearly. Even if Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment, he would find a way to transfer him to another place. Otherwise, how could he be the lord, worthy of Zhang Ji's efforts over the years. Don't you know that, and you also admit that Zhang Ji's contribution to his Liangzhou army is definitely one of the best. So if he can't satisfy him, then this lord is not very qualified to be!
As a result, when Zhang Ji heard his lord's words, he said firmly without hesitation: "My lord, my subordinates think it's good to stay in Hanzhong now! As for the future, if there is a suitable candidate to replace his subordinates, my subordinates will also think it's good, but the current situation is that my subordinates think that Hanzhong is indispensable to stay here!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao knew in his heart that if he was a subordinate, he would definitely not be gigging on his face. He would not be bragging, but that was real. After all, he was also more concerned about Hanzhong, a military center. Because this place can actually be said to be more important to his side and even to the situation in the whole world, so how can he not care about it?
Therefore, before finding someone who can replace Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji is indeed unable to move. And seeing how he does this, he does not have any opinions about him, which is better than anything else.
Can Ma Chao still not know that Zhang Ji was buried in Hanzhong? It was a talented person. Even if he was the prefect of a military city, he was still useless. If Meng Da's ability was to be a state governor, there would be no problem, just a general. Then Zhang Ji, not to mention being a state governor of one state, or being a state governor of two or three states at the same time, there would be no problem at all.
So now he is a prefect. He is indeed a bit in a difficult position. But without a better successor, Ma Chao can only let Zhang Ji be here, because he is indispensable to Hanzhong and he is indeed needed.
-----------------------------------------------------
That's really that. Ma Chao believes that if there is no one in Hanzhong, even if it is Wang Ping, there is no big deal. It doesn't matter. But if the prefect Zhang Ji is missing, the impact will be great.
This is the fact. Ma Chao thought it was not wrong, so he said to Zhang Ji: "Since that's the case, then follow Derong! The situation in our army is in no way hiding from it. Derong, there is indeed no suitable person to come to Hanzhong, so you can only continue to work hard!"
When Zhang Ji heard this, he quickly agreed to the promise, "No! Do your work for the lord, and even the subordinates' affairs!"
Ma Chao nodded to him. He was really satisfied with Zhang Ji. If he thought that his generals were the same as Zhang Ji, then he would be really like him. Don't worry about that much, right?
Although I am a hand-off manager when I talk about it, I don’t care about anything. Instead, I have to make a decision on many things myself.
-----------------------------------------------------
So I am actually quite tired, of course, they are the same, or they are even more tired. But there is no way. If you have so many things to do, if you are not tired, "If you are not in your position and do not do your own affairs", then it is impossible not to be tired. If you are not in your place, you will probably not be tired.
After chatting for a few more words, Ma Chao said, "Derong has walked a long way and has never had a rest. Let's go to rest now!"
Zhang knew that although his lord was considering him to care about him, he was also seeing him off. So he hurriedly said, "No! I am really tired, and it's time to rest. Lord, I will say goodbye!"
Ma Chao nodded slightly, but he personally sent Zhang Ji out of the house. After all, with his achievements, Ma Chao thought he deserved this!
"Lord, stay, stay!"
Ma Chao smiled, "I'm going back now, you can have a good rest!"
"No! I'll say goodbye!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Zhang Ji left and went back to rest. After all, what he wanted to say to his lord was already finished. And his lord saw him off, so he would have left early.
Looking at Zhang Ji's departure back, Ma Chao ordered: "Come!"
"Master!"
"Go and invite four generals Pang Rou, Wang Kang, Yang Ren and Wang Ping, as well as Mr. Yan Pu to me!"
"promise!"
After listening to his lord's order, the soldiers went to invite these five people. Of course, Ma Chao would not tell the soldiers anything, but when the five people saw that it was the lord who was looking for them, they did not dare to neglect them. After they had sorted it out, they came to see Ma Chao. They all understood that his lord was having something to do, and it seemed that it was not small!
And in a short while, all the five people arrived one after another.
-----------------------------------------------------
These five people didn't get up for too long, but after hearing what his lord's personal guard said, they all came quickly. As a result, as soon as the five people entered the house, they saw that except for their prefect, all the others who could rank in Hanzhong were here. The five people were not stupid, and they all thought in their hearts that what their lord said was related to Hanzhong!
Originally, Ma Chao didn't want to find Wang Ping, after all, he had only joined him for a long time. But he also understood that he had found Pang Rou and the others. If he didn't find him, Wang Ping, then this matter would be unreasonable.
Therefore, although Ma Chao didn't think that this matter had much to do with Wang Ping, he still asked his soldiers to invite him. Anyway, there were not many more, but if there were fewer, there would be something wrong. After all, it would have to be united, and he, the lord, really doesn't want his subordinates to think that it is not so fair, so...
After seeing everyone arrived, Ma Chao smiled and said to them: "Everyone, I met Derong just now and chatted with him for a while!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Some of the five people knew that Zhang Ji, the prefect has returned, but some people didn’t know. But after hearing what his lord said, they all knew. It turned out that the prefect has returned. But at this time they were all waiting. They all knew what his lord wanted to say to them, and they all knew that this must be related to Hanzhong and to them, and that it was related to them.
Sure enough, after hearing Ma Chao look at everyone's expressions, he continued, "Derong rushed back overnight in the morning. After knowing that I was getting up, he came to me specifically! Then the first one, he said..."
Ma Chao is really, it's quite interesting. He said first that it was Zhang Ji who suggested it to him, and he suggested that he would do it. If he hadn't had his suggestions, he wouldn't remember it after listening to him, and ignored this question.
When everyone heard this, they understood that something happened before. Not to mention that, they were indeed grateful to Zhang Ji, the prefect. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
