Chapter 850 Chen Deng is also here
When he first entered Mifu, Ma Chao was shocked by the luxury of Mifu.
Speaking with the same, although Ma Chao is a general in the Han Dynasty and has an unparalleled status, he has never been arrogant in life. It's not that he doesn't have that ability, but he feels that it makes him feel ashamed of a local rich man who became rich overnight.
However, it's not too broad, and it's not that Ma Chao hasn't seen it. At least Ma Chao saw the largest Weiyang Palace and the Wuwu made by Dong Zhuo in those years, and he demolished the Weiyang Palace with his own hands. However, in the era when merchants were generally regarded as cheap at the end of the Han Dynasty, Ma Chao was really shocked that the Mi family could make such a luxury villa in the place of Xia Picheng.
As soon as he entered Mifu, Ma Chao was impressed by the Mi family's parking lot with a football field in his previous life. The paving stone is clean, and there are also guests who guide horses and maids to welcome the thoughtful service to lead the way. Such a subtle atmosphere can't help but make Ma Chao sigh at the profound precipitation of the century-old heritage of the family industry.
"General, there are only you and me at this time, and Gongda is under the command of the general, so he has something to say."
I don't know how many pavilions I have walked along the way and turned around several beautiful house corridors. And when Ma Chao still sighed about the grandeur of Mifu, Xun, who walked in together, swept away the previous pompous and vain look and said solemnly to Ma Chao with a solemn face.
But Ma Chao still didn't care, but after looking at Xun Xun in astonishment, he said, "Mr. Xun, don't be so serious. Gongda is indeed under my command, but if Xun Xun Wen is the pillar of Cao Cao's command, but isn't Mr. Xun also the power to join Liu to destroy Cao?"
When these words came out, Xun Chen looked at Ma Chao again in shock, and then sighed helplessly: "It turns out that the general knows everything, so Chen doesn't say much. It's just that he wanted to tell the general that the lord seemed to be undecided about Cao Cao, but he seemed to have made a decision to send me and Guo Tu to Xuzhou, as if he just wanted to find out Liu Bei's idea!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but meditate seriously: If it is as Xun Chen said, it seems that there will be something wrong with his coming to Xuzhou?
At the beginning, when Ma Chao saw Xun Qian, he thought that Yuan Shao had sent an envoy to Xuzhou to tell Liu Bei that he wanted to attack Cao Cao. After all, after the investigation of the Zhen family's grain and grass and Gao Lan, Yuan Shao has definitely hated Liu Xie and Cao Cao for playing him as a monkey, and is likely to help another agent to enter Yanzhou. Liu Bei, who relied on the past in the referendum, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
In history, Xun Qian once urged Yuan Shao to exterminate Cao Cao as soon as possible, and then explored it publicly and secretly along the way. Ma Chao also found that Xun Xun, like himself, came to Xuzhou to join Liu to destroy Cao. Unexpectedly, Xunchen came not only alone, but also with Guo Tu, who had an old friendship with Cao Cao. In addition, Xunchen had always disagreed with Guo Tuzheng. Ma Chao immediately guessed that Yuan Shao's two major factions may have a quarrel because of the treatment of Cao Cao. Perhaps for the sake of purity, or to know Liu Bei's thoughts, Yuan Shao simply threw these two minds to Xuzhou.
But now, after hearing Xun Qian's words, Ma Chao has to carefully consider Yuan Shao's thoughts. Although Yuan Shao will not fight Cao Cao, and Ma Chao will unite with Liu Bei, but anyway, Yuan Shao is closer to Xuzhou after all, and Liu Bei's attitude towards Yuan Shao is inevitable to be considered. Moreover, it is still the kind that is carefully considered.
However, in this situation, Yuan Shao sent a main battle, one master and two major conspirators to Xuzhou, which undoubtedly gave Liu Bei an appearance of 'Yuan Shao's hesitation and neutrality'. This situation can only be neither beneficial nor harmful to me. The only consideration is how ambitious Liu Bei is and how much the face of the Ma family can be worth.
Thinking about the establishment, Ma Chao also has more or less a plan in his mind. Therefore, Ma Chao said, "I don't know if Mr. Xun and Guo Tu have met Liu Bei?"
"I've seen it," Xun Qian answered questions. He seemed to be quite persistent with the creed that 'the enemy of the enemy is a friend' and continued to say to Ma Chao: "Liu Bei seems to be gentle and obedient, but he has a deep mind. After an analysis between Guo Tu and Liu Bei, Liu Bei's words were ambiguous, as if he didn't see rabbits and eagles. Therefore, I will participate in this talent conference today. At present, I naturally want to further persuade Liu Bei by getting to know Mi Zhu.
"That means that Guo Tu will definitely attend today?"
"Since this, I don't know the general..."
Ma Chao sneered and looked at Xun's clear expression. He couldn't help saying, "How about helping Mr. Chao today?"
"The general has come to Xuzhou, and it is known that the matter with Liu has been completed!" Looking at Ma Chao's cheap smile, Xun Chen couldn't help but be infected by it and reported the same treacherous smile: "However, it can make Guo Gong to make a fool of himself in public, and Chen is also happy to see its success..."
Talking and laughing, the two came to a hall under the leadership of the maid. At this moment, there were already guests in the hall. Xun, a famous scholar from the north, naturally sat in the most eye-catching first row. However, Ma Chao, who made up his mind to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, pretended to be Xun's entourage and stood behind Xun Xun.
However, as soon as he sat down, Xun Xun moved and looked at Ma Chao slightly. Ma Chao knew what he meant and came forward. He only heard Xun Chen say, "It's strange, why did Chen Deng*long, the Wang clan of Guangling, come here today?"
Chen Deng?
Ma Chao's eyes suddenly opened as wide as he followed Xun's eyes and looked at the opposite side.
Sure enough, there is a 27-eight-year-old young man sitting on the opposite side. His face is also handsome and heroic and restrained, but his figure is not too tall, thin and thin. With a cyan gown covering his body, he looked a little more handsome.
Of course, Ma Chao will not judge people by their appearance. He looks at Chen Deng more by his inner spirit and temperament.
Sure enough, this legendary counselor who died young in history has indeed had the demeanor of a 'national scholar's plan', and his whole temperament is free and refined. Between the conversation with other guests, the voice was sonorous, bold and convincing. But at the same time, Ma Chao also vaguely felt that Chen Deng was more polite when talking to those people. It seems that he is always constrained by a touch of arrogant pride, secretly isolating himself from others.
Is that person Chen Deng?
Is that Chen Deng, who talked to people and persuaded Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou with his fame and ambition?
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Deng did not have many scenes and did not have many wonderful performances. He is the son of the Chen family of the Guangling Wang clan, and his father, Chen Gu, is a famous scholar in Guangling. Chen Deng himself is also well-known. At the age of 25, he became the head of Dongyang and later became a lieutenant of the agricultural school.
These are not very important. Importantly, Ma Chao remembers that Chen Deng's political position is very vague, and it is even difficult to define where he belongs.
When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he admired Liu Bei and even admired three people in his life. Liu Bei was one of them. But later, Lv Bu expelled Liu Bei, and Chen Deng quickly defected to Cao Cao and took the post of governor of Guangling. However, he often assisted Liu Bei to fight against Lv Bu. At the same time, he secretly colluded with Lv Bu to seek more benefits. Such a person is hard to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, which is beyond speculation.......
And now, what happened to a famous person like him at a famous fishing banquet like Mifu?
Do you mean? ........
Ma Chao looked at Chen Deng again. After seeing Chen Deng notice his eyes and making a toast to each other with a smile, Ma Chao also laughed sincerely: It seems that his shadow has been followed by many princes for a long time!
