Chapter 233 Ma Yu

Xiangyang, Liu Qi's house.

"Lord, this is the list of people who go in and out of Cai's mansion these days, and there are also people Cai Mao has seen in private." A brocade guard handed a letter to Liu Qi and bowed.

"Well, I know." After receiving the letter, Liu Qi was a little depressed. The list in his heart involved more than a dozen big clans in Xiangyang City, including the Zhang family behind Zhang Yun and the Wang family behind Wang Can. The list written by Lin Lin hurriedly on the letter made Liu Qi more and more surprised. What did these more than ten big clans do together? What?

"Hmm?" Liu Qi's eyes flashed, and his eyes couldn't help squinting. In the past few days alone, Cai Mao had seen the detective Xun Wenruo who stayed in Xiangyang four or five times in private. Such frequent meetings made Liu Qi vaguely understand.

"It seems that Cai Mao is not only rebellious, but also has put it into action. There are many soldiers and horses controlled by these more than a dozen families. Once it is in chaos, Jingzhou will lose a lot." Liu Qi stared at more than a dozen names on the letter paper. These people are all important figures in Xiangyang. There is a lot of power behind him, and there are more or less children controlling some military power.

Among them, the Cai family controlled nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses and nearly 20,000 sailors. If these people really plotted against the rebellion, Jingzhou did not have much energy to kill the rebels at this time. Thinking of this, Liu Qi's eyes flashed away. If these people dared to make trouble, Liu Qi did not mind rooting these people and the forces behind them at once. Pull it up.

"To the lord, there is a young man named Ma Youchang asking for a meeting." A flying tiger guard bowed outside the door.

"Ma Youchang? "Ma Yu?" Liu Qi couldn't help but look at the letter. Isn't Ma Qian the land of Ma Liang? He actually forgot this person. Speaking of this person, this person is also a talent, otherwise Zhuge Liang would not often discuss military affairs with him. However, because of this, he also developed the problem of Ma Yu's arrogance. He only knew that he read military books but forgot that soldiers were impermanent.

"Let him in." Liu Qi thought about it and still felt that he should meet this person. He wanted to know how this person can only know after meeting him. If this person is really talented, he will put him at the bottom for a period of time, which will be of great use in the future.

Not long after, a young man in his ten years old came in and saw Liu Qi bowing and saying, "I've seen the eldest son."

Liu Qi looked at Ma Jian when he came in from Ma Jian. At this time, Ma Jian looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, but a beautiful color between his eyebrows appeared and looked like a student in school.

"You are Ma Jichang's younger brother, right? I don't know why you came here?" Liu Qi smiled and dispelled the idea of training Ma Yan. Ma Yan may not have begun to learn those tactics and strategies yet.

"The eldest son is ordered by his brother to send a letter to the eldest son." Ma Yu said respectfully.

Ma Yan's politeness is obviously strict tutoring. Ma's Wuchang is really extraordinary. Liu Qi looked up at Ma Yan and said, "Oh, what letter does Ji Chang ask you to send?"

In Liu Qi's opinion, Ma Liang is at most asking Liu Qi to take care of his younger brother, otherwise if something happens, he will not let a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy come to deliver letters.

"This is a letter sent to the eldest son by the Zhuge military master. The military master said that the matter is very important at this time, and the eldest son must be cautious." With that, Ma Yan took out a piece of brocade cloth from his arms and gave it to Liu Qi.

"Oh, Kong Ming's letter?" Liu Qi looked at the letter in his hand doubtfully and couldn't figure out why Zhuge Liang sent the letter at this time, but when he opened the letter, Liu Qi's face became more and more solemn.

Then Liu Qi took a deep breath and put away the letter, and looked at Ma Yan in surprise. How could Zhuge Liang send such an important letter to a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy to deliver the letter: "But the military engineer asked you to send it?"

"No, it's my brother who said that this matter was important to others. He couldn't rest assured and handed it to me." Ma Yan raised his little face and smiled.

"Aren't you afraid of losing this letter?" Seeing that Ma Yan was so cute, Liu Qi asked with a smile.

"Now the situation outside is tense, and passers-by are in a hurry. Who cares about a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old teenager? Besides, I have also learned swordsmanship with my brother. Ordinary people can't get close to me. What's more, my brother sent several people to become my entourage to follow me closely, just like sending me home." Although Ma Yu is very young, he says the right thing.

"Oh." Liu Qi looked at the horse again.

Historically, the evaluation of Ma Yan is 'exaggerated and useless'. Such an evaluation is undoubtedly a little unfair to Ma Yan. Ma Yan has been following Zhuge Liang for more than ten years with all kinds of tricks and extraordinary wisdom. Even if Zhuge Liang has something he doesn't understand, he will discuss with Ma Yan. How can such a person be summarized as 'exaggerated and unbearable'?

The most prominent thing about Ma Yu in history is that one is to offer a plan for Zhuge Liang to pacify the southern barbarians, which is the origin of the seven captures Meng Huo. The second is that Ma Yu's plan is to alienate the relationship between Cao Rui and Sima Yi, and let Cao Rui dismiss Sima Yi's military power, which led to the successive victories of the Northern Expedition.

The loss of the street pavilion made Zhuge Liang lose his hope of success in the Northern Expedition. Even Zhuge Liang himself was almost captured, but the world is impermanent and who can not make mistakes all his life.

At that time, the loss of Jingzhou made the whole Shu Han almost fall into a place of immortality. Although he finally passed the crisis, Shu Han also greatly reduced his national strength and completely opened the distance from Sun Wu and Cao Wei, which also destroyed Zhuge Liang's efforts in Longzhong's plan. In terms of fault, Guan Yu's fault was far greater than that of Ma Yan.

In the Three Kingdoms period, there were so many generals and so many counselors who could make no mistakes in their lives.

"Have you ever worshipped the teacher?" Liu Qi looked at Ma Yan and asked. Liu Qi planned to find a good teacher for Ma Yan to call him the Art of War.

"I have never worshipped the teacher. I have always studied with my brother." Ma Yu said with some regret. Although Ma's Wuchang has some fame, it is nothing for those real big families. With the fame of Ma Liang and others, they can't come into contact with real virtuous people. Even if they see him, they may not accept him as a disciple.

"In that case, you can stay in the house now. I'll find a teacher for you in a few days." Liu Qi waved his hand and let the flying tiger guard at the door take the horse down to rest.

The face of Liu Qi, who sent Ma Yan away, also became gloomy. He didn't know why Cai Mao and others were so active, but he now knew that Cai Mao and others were so active must have been supported by Cao Cao behind his back. Otherwise, even if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun agreed to rebel, more than a dozen other families would not dare to participate in it. Medium.

"Come on, go and invite Jia Xu." Liu Qi shouted at the door.

"No." The rapid footsteps then faded away.

Not long after, I saw Jia Xu coming in a hurry. Liu Qi would not invite Jia Xu to the study without anything important, so Jia Xu walked slowly all the way, and even his breath was a little short.

"Lord." When he entered the study and saw Liu Qi, Jia Xu bowed and said.

"Well, sit down." With that, Liu Qi pointed to the stool in front of him. After that, without waiting for Jia Xu to sit down, Liu Qi handed the letter in his arms to Jia Xu and said, "This is the situation in Xiangyang City these days. How do you think about it?"

Jia Xu looked at Liu Qi in surprise, took the letter handed over by Liu Qi, opened it, and then looked at Liu Qi doubtfully and said, "Cai Mao has long been against it. It's just a matter of time to do this. How can the eldest son be so cautious?"

"If it had been before, I wouldn't have cared about it, but behind Cai Mao was Cao Cao, and just a few days ago, Sun Ce from Jiangdong had launched Jiangdong's troops to attack Jingzhou. If it was well expected, Cao Cao was also tiding behind this matter. Now I know these two things, and there is no other news." Liu Qi told Jia Xu what happened just now.

If Zhuge Liang was in Xiangyang, he would definitely discuss with Zhuge Liang, but now Zhuge Liang is still practicing outside. Wancheng and Jiangxia are the experience arranged by Liu Qi for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. If Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's talents let them start from the bottom, Liu Qi will be a little reluctant, so Liu Qi put the two in the army. The status of the division has been experienced. What they have experienced is to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

"Lord, although Cao Cao Cao tried his best to suppress or even remove the master this time, Cao Cao did not know the specific situation of Jingzhou. Therefore, although these plans were vicious, they could not greatly increase the strength of the master. The soldiers and horses in the hands of Cai Mao and others have never had an excuse to seize it. This time it happened to be This is a chance. As long as the lord eliminates Cai Mao and others, including his cronies in his army, then these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will become the soldiers and horses under the lord's command.

"But at this time, we still need to look at the attitude of General Zhennan. General Zhennan seems to be on guard against the lord." Jia Xu looked at Liu Qi with some uncertainty. He came to Jingzhou for more than ten days and was not very clear about the relationship between Liu Qi and Liu Biao.

Hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Liu Qi's eyes flashed. Obviously, Liu Qi has been coveted for a long time for the soldiers and horses in the hands of Cai Mao and others: "This matter still needs to be considered in advance. The power of these more than ten families is not weak. Once there are some mistakes, it may lead to internal turmoil in Jingzhou."

Although Liu Qi has made up his mind to take this opportunity to eradicate the power of Cai Mao and others. As for Liu Biao's attitude, Liu Qi doesn't know that Liu Biao is the lord of a state after all. How can he tolerate his son Gong Gao Zhenzhu to suppress him as the lord of a state?

"How is Xuanweihou doing in Jingzhou these days?" Liu Qi suddenly thought of Zhang Xiu. Cao Cao sent someone to attract Cai Mao, but he would not be attracted to Zhang Xiu, who had just surrendered.

"I haven't seen Xuanweihou for more than ten days. I'm not very clear about the situation of Xuanweihou." Liu Qi has already thought of Zhang Xiu, and Jia Xu, as Zhang Xiu's former subordinate, naturally also thought of this place, but he had not seen Zhang Xiu for more than ten days in order to avoid suspicion. He really didn't know about it.

"In that case, you can visit Xuanweihou for me." Liu Qi smiled.
