Chapter 1195 Four Counties of Jizhou? The Ma family wants it!

Seeing Ma Chao's involuntarily smiling, Cao Tai was suddenly stunned. A very ominous foreboding rose from the soles of his feet to the cover of Tianling. In his ears, he heard Ma Chaoyou say a sentence: "General Cao, have you heard of installment payment? ......”

"General!" Without waiting for Ma Chao to finish speaking, Cao Ang suddenly got up and quickly interrupted. His identity and keen intuition determined that he must say a few words for the Cao family at this time: "General, the Ma Cao family are now indispensable princes in the Han Dynasty, and they should do their best for the Han Dynasty. There are light, big and small things. Nowadays, the 14 states of the Han Dynasty are still divided. The two families do not want to unify with all their hearts, but they plan again. This is to give up the great righteousness and become a small righteousness. The general has long shocked the world, and the name of martial arts is well known in the sea. On this good occasion, it is time to wave his army south to restore the rivers and mountains and restore the Han Dynasty. If Liu Zhang is destroyed and won Jingzhou within two years, the heroes of the world will look up to it. The general will not support His Majesty's unification, but stick to the old accounts of the two families, and steal it for the general.

"Very good, Mr. Cao said very well. In this case, should the Cao family hand over 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers to the Holy Lord to show the loyalty and righteousness of Lord Sikong? Ma Chao has no need to talk about nonsense such as justice. At this moment, Peng Yang, who was sitting at the bottom, directly fought back: "Mr. Cao is really in a big tone! As the son of Sikong, I don't know how Cao should be loyal, but here to point out the Ma family. With such a delusion, I don't know how Mr. Cao can speak!"

Peng Yang's words were really sharp, which made Cao Ang blush and white for a while, but even so, Cao Ang and Cao Tai did not dare to tit-for-tat. After all, today is for peace. If the two continue to be entangled on any moral issues, they will only bring back the negotiation that has finally entered the substantive negotiation stage and pull back into the endless delay. Such a result is currently weak Cao's unwillingness to accept.

"The situation is also, the time is also. Nowadays, the emperor is young and doesn't know that the soldiers are dangerous. Sikong is in charge of military power, which is also a matter. Cao Tai was very clear about his situation. After a slight explanation, he pulled back the topic: "It's just that I haven't heard of the installment payment said by General Qiqi. I hope you won't hesitate to give me..."

However, Cao Ang, who has more contact with Ma Chao than Cao Tai, knows that Ma Chao's next words will definitely make Cao Tai regret it. As a result, the two Cao family began to fight first. After Cao Ang and Cao Tai's winking and Cao Tai turned a blind eye, Cao Ang stood up and interrupted Cao Tai and said to Ma Chao, "General Qiqi is a man of benevolent. I think he will definitely treat Li Dian, Lejin and tens of thousands of soldiers. The focus of this discussion is in the four counties of Jizhou. Why do the two families avoid the importance and waste time here?

Cao Tai took a serious look at Cao Ang at this time. He knew that the bottom line of this negotiation was that Cao Ang, Cao's heir and his two confidants, must be brought back. But Cao Ang knew this and would rather catch the result of his trapped Ma family and still wanted to stop the 'payment'. As a result, his face became very solemn, silent and respected Cao Ang's opinion.

At the same time, Ma Chao also looked up at Cao Ang, who did not leave much record of Cao's heir in history. At this time, he had a very specific impression: on the surface, Cao Ang was humble and warm, and had the legacy of virtue. But once he touches the core interests, he is definitely a person who will never lose. Moreover, in speech, the adaptability is no less than Cao Tai. When he opened his mouth twice, his thoughts were like a spring, and he introduced the topic to the false snake without a trace.

However, Ma Chao had already won at this time. He changed his previous roundabout politeness and implied threats: "Since Cao has the intention to give up, the Ma family will naturally not be too many of two famous generals. In addition, the lack of population in the land grazing next year will just use these tens of thousands of prisoners... As for the four counties in Jizhou, there is no need to talk about it at all. Since the covenant has already stated its ownership, the Ma family will naturally not allow an inch of land and accept it!"

"General Qiqi really wants to receive the four counties of Jizhou?" Cao Ang and Cao Tai did not expect to negotiate so far. Ma Chao actually had a 180-degree change and sincerely wanted to take over the four counties of Jizhou. For a moment, they looked at each other speechlessly and only saw the disbelief in the other party's eyes.

In the end, Cao Ang reacted quickly. Although he could not swallow what he said, he still wanted to know why: "General, we can talk about the negotiation between the four counties in detail. Just this? ..." At this point, Cao Ang suddenly didn't know how to continue. After all, the Ma family has been insisting that the four counties were their own. From beginning to end, they were determined to misjudge the Ma family to give up the four counties.

Ma supernaturally could hear Cao Ang's secret words and said with an indescribable joke: "The time is also powerful. At present, there is a current situation, and there is also a trend at this time..." Cao Ang and Cao Tai couldn't help blushing when they heard the words. There is no doubt that Ma Chao used Cao Tai's words just now to satirize the insincere and tricks of the two.

Of course, the most fundamental change was because when he danced the sword, Ma Chao saw that the wooden door made an 'OK' gesture. Previously, the Ma family did not want the four counties, just for the overall economic consideration. However, with the wealth injection that Yuan Shu has raided for many years, Ma Chao believes that this wealth can definitely fill this loophole. Therefore, under the opportunity, he instantly changed his attitude towards the four counties, which made Cao Ang and Cao Tai confused.

In the short term, although the four counties do not have much economic benefits, they may also drag down the Ma family. But after all, they are of extremely important strategic significance for the Ma family. Once the Cao family left the four counties, their power could no longer reach the north bank of the Yellow River. The recovery of Yuan Shao's glorious place in Wei County can shock the military control ability of all Jizhou people to the Ma family, which has a very positive significance for integrating the three states of Ma, Ji and You into the Ma family as soon as possible and connecting the rule of the Ma family.

And so far in the whole conversation, Cao Ang and Cao Tai have been completely forced to the corner. Ma Chao's rapid change accepted all the reliance they thought could be restrained. But Cao Tai can't go back. He didn't come here alone and walk alone - Cao Cao's bottom line is that he wants to bring back Cao Ang, Lejin and Li Dian anyway!

"General..." Cao Tai, who stiffened his scalp and did not dare to look up. Cao Tai, who felt ashamed as red as a monkey's buttocks, opened his mouth to Ma Chao with great respect and humility, "No, I don't know what the general said before about the installment payment can be counted? If the Cao family may be acceptable, both families can also be happy, and tens of thousands of soldiers do not have to leave their hometowns... Tai, Tai thanked the general for his generosity..."

Cao Tai didn't know how he finished this. He only felt that after saying that, the muscles and joints of his whole body became extremely stiff with shame and shame, and he couldn't even lift his bent waist.

However, the winner Ma Chao tasted a sip of wine leisurely and said with an extremely happy tone, "This installment payment, as the name implies, is a workaround for some long-term and cost-cost transactions. Cao was in trouble and naturally couldn't buy back Lord Zixiu, two generals and tens of thousands of soldiers. And in order to seek the greatest interests... Oh, for the harmony of the two families, the people can sacrifice a certain amount of time to recover the ransom bought in several times, and correspondingly, they will also send the prisoners back to the Cao family in batches..."

Cao Ang and Cao Tai are both well-minded people. They know a lot when they hear it, and their colors will not change greatly! And Cao Tai looked at Cao Ang with deep fear and regret: This Ma Chao wants to use such a means to kidnap Cao for at least a year! The cruelty of his heart and the poison of his means make people so defenseless...

'This guy is really a devil who is better than the battlefield!' The two mourned in their hearts, but they fell into the abyss like a broken-winged bird, and their bodies were extremely cold.
