Chapter 128 4. There are cowards under heavy rewards

Zhang Lu promised Ma Chao to marry his daughter to him.Ma Chao went out happily. At this time, a Taoist friend came over and asked Zhang Lu: "Angel, you are a cultivator, why do you have a wife?" Zhang Lu: "Nonsense, right? I don't have a wife, so how can our Zhang family inherit the heaven from generation to generation?" The position of a master? Not only do I have a wife, we Zhang Tianshi’s family will have to marry a wife from generation to generation. Not only to marry a wife, but also to marry the most beautiful and smartest girls as wives.” Fellow Daoist snorted, "Master Tiantian, you really plan to marry your daughter to Ma Chao."

Zhang Lu: "If you don't marry him, will you marry me?" Fellow Taoist said: "Tianshi, I want to advise you on this matter. Ma Chao, who came from a family of rebels, is super brainless, and also a cold-blooded animal lacking human emotions. He even his wife and children, If he loves his wife and children, he should not make such a fuss, but should take up family responsibilities and prop up a happy sky for his wife and children. To be fair, his wife and children died in the Under his crazy personality, and Tianshi, you plan to marry your daughter to him, so you don't worry about your daughter, and you will end up like this in the future?"

Zhang Lu: "This, wait until I burn incense and pray." Hearing what Fellow Daoist said, Zhang Lu murmured in his heart and changed his mind.I don't plan to marry my daughter to Ma Chao anymore. Ma Chao found that Zhang Lu's attitude towards him had changed suddenly, and he fell into despair and depression.I thought to myself, what's wrong with this? I offended Cao Cao and ended up in heaven and earth. There is no place for me, Ma Chao. Could it be that I, Ma Chao, can't die like this?Let your subordinates inquire about it, and see if there is any other place in the world that can accommodate him, Ma Chao.

Soon the news came: "Report, not far away, that one, Liu Bei, is leading his three-way army to surround the city of Chengdu. Among them, Liu Zhang is desperately resisting. It's time to fight." Ma Chao was overjoyed and said: "This is indeed good news. In my current situation, I really have no choice but to go to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. But there are many talents there, and I am afraid that Liu Bei will not tolerate it without a decent meeting ceremony." I." "I want to give Liu Bei a generous gift! Help him take Xichuan." Ma Chao said.So he immediately wrote a secret letter and sent it to Liu Bei.At this time, Liu Bei was holding an emergency military meeting in his tent under the city of Chengdu.The people present at the meeting are nothing more than Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei asked: "You guys, is there a good way to let Liu Zhang open the door and surrender?" Everyone shook their heads: "Why do you have to ask Liu Zhang to open the door? It's not like we can't get in." Liu Bei: "Then, how long will it take you guys to enter Chengdu? Let me tell you clearly, this war is a waste, you consume me, I consume you, when will the city get tired and can't hold on anymore Only then can we have a clue. Look at that Ma Chao, he is super capable of fighting, but so what? He besieged Jicheng for eight months. Eight months! Ma Chao has capital, His soldiers are all frontier people, uncivilized primitive tribes. During the war, they eat horse meat and drink horse milk as logistics supplies. But our soldiers all need to eat millet. If the battle lasts for eight months , where can I get so much millet to eat?"

Zhang Fei said: "Boss, you have already issued an order. As long as Chengdu is captured, everyone can take the gold and silver treasures in the city's government. With this incentive policy, it should work, right?" Liu Bei: "That's right, but haven't you noticed? Ever since this order was issued, everyone seems to have lost their energy." Zhao Yun: "Why is this? Didn't you say that under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man?" Zhuge Liang: I know, I know, this is the situation. Just because the boss allowed them to go into the city to grab gold and silver beauties, everyone cherishes their lives more, for fear that they will be killed if they are not careful when attacking the city, and it will be a big loss. "

It turns out that incentive policies can also be counterproductive.Under heavy rewards, there must be cowards, which makes everyone not chanting. Liu Bei: "Zhuge Liang, brainstorm again, aren't you the god of wisdom? Besides, taking Xichuan is the first project you have planned for me since you came out of the mountain. You have to start well and finish well. You can't just be good at planning, you have to be good at execution. Execution is key." Zhuge Liang: "Damn, I have this executive power, I have already done it by myself." Liu Bei: "What did you say?"

Zhuge Liang: "I mean...someone knocked on the door outside." It was the messenger sent by Ma Chao who came from outside.Liu Bei asked someone to send the letter in, opened it, and immediately looked up to the sky with a long smile, "Hahaha, the war is over, and Chengdu will be taken down."
