After the year-end meeting, Ma Chao's feeling that city people really know how to play has not weakened, but has become stronger. Many things here in Liu Zhe really surprised him.

Ma Chao received a lot of rewards in one night, including bonuses, fine wines, delicious food, and various specialties of foreign races. The value of these rewards far exceeded what he had gained from a year of hard work in Liangzhou.

I have to say, city people really know how to play!

Ma Chao thought he had seen the world before, but now it seems that the world he has seen is not worth mentioning at all. Only now did he understand that Ma Dai was far more knowledgeable than him, and compared to Ma Dai, he was just a bumpkin.

However, Ma Chao also had doubts in his heart, so he summoned Ma Dai and raised his doubts with Ma Dai.

Why is Liu Zhe so kind to him? This is Ma Chao's doubt.

Ma Chao thinks that his strength is good, but he has seen Liu Zhe's men, who are full of talents. If there are more horses than one, there will be more than one, and if there are few, there will be no more than one.

When they first surrendered, it was understandable that Ma Chao received Liu Zhe's attention. After all, Ma Chao's tens of thousands of troops had not yet been fully integrated.

But now that they have arrived in Youzhou, Ma Chao is no longer very important to Liu Zhe. No one would be surprised if Ma Chao is left aside and ignored.

But at the year-end banquet, Ma Chao still received Liu Zhe's attention. Not to mention rewards, he was Liu Zhe's number one person in terms of official position.

Ma Chao does not think that he is more worthy of Liu Zhe's trust than other people under Liu Zhe. They followed Liu Zhe much earlier than Ma Chao. In terms of confidants, Ma Chao cannot compare with them.

After listening to Ma Chao's doubts, Ma Dai said with a smile:"Brother, my lord is not the kind of person who burns bridges across rivers. He is very thirsty for talents. For my lord, my eldest brother is undoubtedly a talent.""

"Talent?

Ma Chao frowned and said in confusion:"Then why did you take me back to Youzhou?" If you believe me, you can let me help in Liangzhou. With my help, it will be easy to capture Liangzhou."

Ma Chao said this with a bit of resentment. Liu Zhe did not let him stay in Liangzhou to help, but took him back to Youzhou. His men did not have any military power. This kind of behavior was nakedly guarding against him, which made him feel very uncomfortable..

That’s why he had doubts about why Liu Zhe was still so kind to him. On the one hand, he deprived him of his military power, and on the other hand, he tried his best to win over him and made him feel valued. Ma Chao couldn’t understand what Liu Zhe was doing.

"Brother, you misunderstood. Ma

Dai understood the meaning of Ma Chao's words. He smiled and said,"This is a tradition under the lord." For new generals who join the lord, the lord will transfer him to other places."

Because Ma Dai has been in Youzhou for more than a year, he knows many things about Youzhou.

"real?"Ma Chao felt much better after hearing this. If this is the case, he can still accept it. After all, everyone is treated equally.

"certainly! Ma Dai nodded affirmatively, and then gave an example:"In the past, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, defected to the lord. The lord transferred them all to the outside of the Great Wall. Of course, this caused their dissatisfaction. Later, the lord personally took them to the outside of the Great Wall." , let them understand that this is not to exile them. You can still make achievements outside the Great Wall, but now most of these people are outside the Great Wall. There are also two generals under Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. The Lord transferred them to Liaodong. Now that the two have made many achievements in battle, many people are jealous."

After Ma Chao heard this, he finally understood. He asked a little eagerly:"What about us?"

"us? Ma Dai smiled and said:"We can't go anywhere.""

"Why? Ma Chao was slightly surprised. Could it be that Liu Zhe no longer adheres to his tradition this time?

Ma Dai replied with a smile:"Because we are going to the military academy to study.""

"Military academy?"Ma Chao frowned, what the hell?

In order to prevent Ma Dai from thinking that he was a country bumpkin, Ma Chao suppressed his curiosity and did not ask. He was waiting for Ma Dai to continue.

Ma Dai also knew that Ma Chao didn't know what a military academy was. In fact, if it weren't for Liu Xin had written to him, but he didn't know.

Ma Dai recalled the letter Liu Xin wrote to him and said:"The military academy was founded by the lord and he appointed himself as the principal. It mainly trains generals, both senior and junior, to cultivate their war consciousness." , improve the combat effectiveness of the army."

These words were Liu Xin's original words in the letter. Ma Dai himself did not understand many of the new terms.

So when Ma Dai said it, Ma Chao looked at it blankly with three question marks on his head. Ma Dai

"Ahem..."

Ma Dai said again in words they could understand:"It's similar to going to school, except that you learn about war. Ma

Chao understood, and his face suddenly became very disdainful, saying:"Tsk, how do we fight, do we still need to be taught?""

Ma Chao thought that although he was not a peerless general, he still knew how to march and fight. He didn't need anyone to teach him, so he sneered at it.

"I'm going to find my lord. I don't have to go to the military academy."Ma Chao felt that there was no need to go to the military academy. He understood everything about marching and fighting.

Ma Dai persuaded him:"Brother, no, you must go to the military academy."

"Why? Ma Chao was puzzled and asked:"Do you need to be taught something as basic as marching and fighting?" I don’t have to, if it gets spread, I can’t afford to lose that person."
