"Okay, don't blame those who don't know. Just get up."

"Thank you, General."

After Zhang Wu summoned Ma Zhong, he rode his horse to Zhang Kai and withdrew the thrown Overlord Spear from the ground.

"You little man... I have little eyes and cannot see Mount Tai. I hope the general will forgive me!" Zhang Kai's strong desire to survive forced him to beg for mercy.

His face had begun to distort in extreme pain.

Zhang Wu didn't shoot him vitally because he would die slowly in pain and despair, so how could he save him.

The world is in such chaos, and yet they still come out to bully and kill the people. This kind of person is a waste of air.

Zhang Wu turned around and left, leaving Zhang Kai to go from begging for mercy with eyes filled with hope, to cursing in despair, and finally his voice became quieter and quieter, and there was no movement.

When Zhang Wu returned to the formation.

Ma Zhong has already begun to express his loyalty to Cao Cao.

No matter how many times I watch this scene, I still find it pleasing to the eye.

Apart from anything else, Boss Cao's way of controlling his subordinates is really incomprehensible. No matter who comes under his account, they can feel like a spring breeze.

However, Ma Zhong obviously has no experience in the world and does not know the difference between politeness and kindness.

After paying homage, they immediately gathered around Cao Cao and chattered:

"My Lord, Zhang Kai of Taishan County was raided many times by the general's army. He rushed from the east of Taishan County to the south. If the Lord had not arrived, the thief would have died in the near future. I never wanted to disturb my Lord. I'm sorry. The champion will be ashamed in the end."

Cao Cao was not angry with him, so he immediately promoted him to a partial general and left him under Taishi Ci's account.

However, Zhang Wu still caught a hint of impatience in Boss Cao's eyes.

I'm afraid that my cheap father-in-law doesn't really take Ma Zhong seriously.

The reason why he is so kind is simply because Ma Zhong is a fellow villager of Taishi Ci.

To say that Ma Zhong is also pitiful.

Historically, during the Soochow period, many contributions were made, but they were not reused.

Now he defected to Cao Cao by mistake, but Cao Cao only used it as a means to win over Tai Shici.

Zhang Wu felt that he still needed to remind Cao Cao. After all, although Ma Zhong had unparalleled appearance and an unknown general's ability to lead an army, if it was used properly, it could be regarded as a strange move.

After all, he is the best picker.

Often this kind of person can bring about the most unexpected results.

"What does father-in-law think of Ma Zhong?"

Cao Cao looked back at Ma Zhong in the distance and said, "I don't like that he is very utilitarian."

"Hahaha, my father-in-law is joking. Who doesn't have a utilitarian mind? Take me for example. I'm about to have high-ranking officials, rich salaries, gold, silver and beauty engraved on my face. Why don't I still accept the kindness from my father-in-law?"

"Zi Qian's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, he has made many contributions, and he has supported his true nature from a humble beginning. How can he be compared to a villain?"

"Father-in-law, what about a villain? What about a gentleman? None of the people who serve you are looking for a wife and a shadow. It's just that Ma Zhong can't speak."

A stupid mouth can really kill someone.

It was also a show of merit. If Zhang Wu had said this, not only would it not have made Cao Cao unhappy, but he would have felt that he was a true-hearted person.

On the contrary, when it came out of Ma Zhong's mouth, it sounded like he was asking for credit, and it would be a shame if Cao Cao was happy.

If you don't know how to speak, you don't have to say anything. You're trying to be smart, and you're obviously asking for forgiveness, but you're actually showing merit. This is a bit like being smart and treating others as fools.

Cao Cao was puzzled and asked, "Why does Zi Qian speak for him?"

"I don't know him, so why speak for him? I'm just planning for my father-in-law. If I hate someone with just words, wouldn't it be my father-in-law's loss if I miss out on talents?"

Cao Cao nodded: "In this case, I will take a closer look at him in the future, and it won't be a waste of Zi Qian's painstaking efforts."

Mentioning Ma Zhong, Zhang Wu happened to think of Ma Chao, so he smiled and mentioned it more: "Father-in-law, can you see the word Ma Chao in the battle report?"

"The son of Ma Teng, the general who conquered the west, and whom Zi Qian recognized as his adopted brother, he made some achievements when he defeated Ke Bi Neng."

"It's good if my father-in-law knows. When I came here, I promised this kid to ask for merit for me. I wonder what my father-in-law thinks?"

Cao Cao pondered for a while: "This man is Ma Teng's eldest son, is it really credible?"

Zhang Wu smiled and said: "A person who takes orders on the battlefield, why can't you trust him?"

"Is that so? Ma Teng has always regarded himself as the queen of General Fubo and Ma Yuan. If this is the case, how about giving him the title of General Fubo?"

Zhang Wu nodded happily.

General Fubo is just a general with a random name, but for the Lao Ma family, the symbolic meaning of this title is far greater than its actual status.

In this way, Ma Chao was not only rewarded, but Ma Teng was also indirectly won over. Why not do it.

The group quickly returned to Xiapi.

.........

The sun is scorching in the sky, and the weather in June is so hot that it kills me.

The official road from Xiapi to Xuchang was quite lively.

Looking around, the Mi family's servants formed a long and mighty queue, carrying more food, gold and silver.

At the front of the team, Zhang Wu was flanked by Mi Zhu and Guo Jia.

I was alone when I arrived, but I didn't expect it to be lively when I returned.

Although Guo Jia didn't come up with any clever tricks, he patted his chest confidently and said that as soon as he arrived in Bingzhou, there would be a plan to attract Xianbei to gather in Jiuquan. Zhang Wu did not bother with him and took them directly.

Zhang Wu naturally knew what he was up to.

This guy was exposed in front of his father-in-law. He felt very uncomfortable staying in Xiapi and then left Bingzhou.

Normally, in a bitter cold place like Bingzhou, there wouldn't even be a place to drink wine. Guo Jia would only be willing to go there.

But Zhang Wu didn't expose it either.

If Guo Jia can think of a plan, that's all. If he can't, there will still be good fruits for him to eat when he gets to Bingzhou.

The Mi family servants led by Mi Zhu were the team that sent Mi Zhen to Bingzhou to see off her bride.

Bingzhou experienced war last year. Although the cattle and sheep snatched by Zhang Wu from the grassland temporarily sustained their livelihood, a flood outside Jinyang destroyed thousands of hectares of fertile land, making it difficult for the people under the rule to make a living.

Zhang Wu was the shepherd of Bingzhou and Mi Zhu's brother-in-law.

He had to lend a helping hand at this time, both emotionally and logically.

The Mi family is indeed very wealthy, with more than a thousand trucks transporting grain.

After such supplies enter Bingzhou, at least this winter, people in the state will not die of hunger and cold.

Because most of them were domestic slaves, the brigade did not move very fast.

We will arrive at Xuchang in seven days.

After being admitted, the brigade spent a day repairing.

Zhang Wu brought Ma Chao, Cao Xiu, and Pang Tong who were ready to go.

Also with Lu Qiling, Diao Chan and Zhang Ning.

Continue north to Jinyang, Bingzhou.
