Chapter 1035 Ma Chao's Ambition
Later, I saw that Liu Jiyu was weak and not a Mingjun, so he joined the imperial uncle. Fortunately, the emperor's benevolence and righteousness are not only willing to have a certain place, but also repeatedly pay heavy responsibilities. When I met such a great kindness, I dare not forget it. I would like to repay my liver and brain to death! If the Lord is suspicious, he only needs a letter. No matter how far the mountains are, he will return immediately. If there is neglect, he is willing to die!!"
Ma Chao suddenly showed his loyalty to Liu Bei to Huang Quan. Huang Quan looked at Ma Chao carefully and didn't see any hypocrisy. He also thought that since Ma Chao joined Liu Bei's command, he had changed his unruly temperament in the past and obeyed Liu Bei's words. He charged on the battlefield and spared his life to save Liu Bei several times.
Huang Quan was very thoughtful for a moment. In the end, he believed Ma Chao and nodded.
"Meng Qi is a loyal and righteous man, and someone will talk about the benefits to the master in detail."
Since Zhuge Liang learned that Wenhan withdrew from Hedong, he has been preparing troops and horses in Brazil while waiting for the opportunity to recover Zitong. The other day, Meng was sent by an envoy. After Liu Bei discussed with Zhuge Liang, the messenger put him in the post station. The southern barbarian messenger asked for a meeting for days, but the head of the door hung up the dodge card for days. The Southern barbarian messenger has been there several times in a row, but he can't see him.
One night, Liu Bei was discussing with Zhuge Liang in the county government. Liu Bei's face was calm and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"At present, Meng Huo, the barbarian king, has obtained Zitong, and recently sent an envoy to Brazil. The lord could first accept it. Xu Xu withdrew the soldiers and horses to Badong, and then took back Ma Mengqi, Huang Gongheng and others. And during the handover, the lord only needs to set up an ambush at the border between Brazil and Badong, while he is unprepared..."
Zhuge Liang was talking about a plan, but he found that Liu Bei was distracted and slightly distracted. He didn't realize that his voice stopped and looked away. Liu Bei sat on the high hall, suddenly sensed the silence, and suddenly came to his senses. Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and asked Liu Bei with a solemn face.
"The master's spirit is in a trance. Is it harmful to the body? If so, Liang will ask the lord to invite a doctor.
Liu Bei made a move and laughed.
"Haha. Kong Ming doesn't have to worry too much. I just suddenly remembered that I and Wen Bofan fought fiercely for this Yizhou for several years, and now I finally repel it. I thought that I could sit in Yizhou in the near future, and I was quite sad for a moment.
In fact, Liu Bei didn't think about this matter. Just now, he was thinking about it. Since he sent a message to Huang Quan, it has been nearly a dozen days. If this beauty succeeds, there will probably be news at this time.
At this moment, suddenly a soldier came to report, and Huang Quan asked to see him outside the hall. When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly looked happy and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to call Huang Quan to see him. For a moment, Huang Quanmai walked into the hall and saw a man in front of him. He held a goose feather fan in his hand, wore a nylon scarf, and wore a white crane, and his whole body was full of wisdom. What's more special is that this person's eyes are as gorgeous as stars, which seem to see through everything in the world, which makes people dare not look at them for a long time.
"What a man with a good demeanor and wisdom."
Huang Quan looked at the man, and his eyes surged with horror. I saw the man, with a faint smile on his face, bowing his hand. Huang Quan came to his senses and hurriedly returned the gift. Liu Bei got up and walked down, laughed, and introduced each other to the two. When Huang Quan heard that this person was famous and the hot 'Wolong' Zhuge Liang, his expression condensed and bowed and worshiped. Zhuge Liang smiled and also made a return gift, saying.
"I've heard of Huang Gong's high name for a long time, such as thunder and ears. In the past, I only hated the distance of Yunshan and couldn't listen to the teaching. It's really lucky to see you today!"
"Military's praise. The military division is famous all over the world. Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others are all like being played by the military division in applause. In front of the military division, it is like the brilliance of the moon corresponding to the star fire. How dare you talk about the word 'listening to teaching'?
Zhuge Liang listened and smiled, and the two of them finished talking. Liu Bei said with a smile.
"The two wise men are like the right and right arms, and their arms are long. How can there be a difference between high and low?"
Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan listened to it, and they were all modest and courteous. When he was young, the two sat down separately. Liu Bei sat back on the high hall and asked Huang Quan.
"Gongheng, what's the important thing about your return this time?"
As soon as Huang Quan heard this, he immediately got up and answered and told the past in detail. When Zhuge Liang heard that Liu Bei had used a beauty trick in the dark, he couldn't help frowning. Later, he heard that Meng Huo was dead, and Mrs. Zhu Rong got the power. When Ma Chao was rewarded by Mrs. Zhu Rong and became the owner of the Southern Barbarian Lion Cave, he suddenly looked angry and got up and shouted.
"Presumptuous!!! Ma Meng got up as a minister of the Han Dynasty. How dare he be rewarded by the barbarians? What kind of style!!! The master should quickly issue a document, recall it, and impose penalties in accordance with the law!!!"
Zhuge Liang suddenly lost his temper. Liu Bei couldn't help but look stunned, and Huang Quan hurriedly persuaded him.
"The military division is angry. At that time, we were under the shelter of others, and the witch was not happy and angry, and she was extremely appreciative of General Ma. If General Ma is based on it, he is only afraid that it will hinder his face and cause some harm. General Ma is really forced. I hope the military division will not mind.
"Huh!! Ma Mengqi is a Han minister. He should have integrity. He should be rejected according to reason. How can he be happy to accept it!!? Huang Gongheng, you are also confused. According to you, Mrs. Zhu Rong is extremely infatuated with it, and even did not hesitate to kill her husband and raise an army to rebel. If Ma Mengqi has evil intentions, Yizhou will be in danger!!!"
As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Huang Quan and Liu Bei's faces changed greatly. Huang Quan's eyes widened, and then he suddenly realized that he had always felt something wrong. Liu Bei frowned, but felt that Zhuge Liang was too unfounded and advised.
"The military division is angry for the time being. Although Ma Mengqi acted unruly and cynical in the past. But since he joined under my command, he has greatly changed his temper and obeyed me, Qiu has done nothing. There is no doubt about the military division.
When Zhuge Liang heard the words, a pair of Hao's eyes unconsciously raised a little worried. He shook his head and sighed, and then asked Huang Quan again.
"Huang Gong returned alone. According to Liang's guess, it must be the witch who sent you to repay. She didn't take Brazil, and also returned Zitong, but she asked Ma Mengqi to stay around him and follow him to the barbarian situation to help him stabilize the situation in southern barbarians. What Liang said, right?
When Huang Quan heard this, his face was surprised and he quickly arched his hand and replied.
"The military teacher expects things to be like gods, but it's really too late."
Zhuge Liang listened, his face trembled, his eyebrows were deeply locked, he sighed, and turned to Liu Bei.
"Why is it so difficult to guess this!? If Ma Mengqi has no evil intentions, he must look forward to returning to the master as soon as possible. Otherwise, this person will hope to use the witch's trust in him and plotting Nanman. The southern barbarians have always been unwilling to accept the king, and they are brave. They are unwilling to lie in the southern barbaric land, and they always have the heart to annex our Han world. Now Ma Mengqi has won the favor of the witch. If he is allowed to go back to the barbarians, if the dragon gets the clouds, the tiger will return to the mountain. In less than half a year, this person will be stable and will cause disaster!!!"
When Liu Bei heard this, his face changed continuously, and he was very hesitant. At this time, Huang Quan was bitter in his heart. If it were as Zhuge Liang said, he could have committed a great disaster. With Zhuge Liang's always strict temperament, I'm afraid that his life will be difficult to protect. For a moment, Huang Quan was very thoughtful, and suddenly his face was certain. He hurriedly said to Liu Bei what Ma Chao had said. After listening to this, Liu Bei was refreshed and laughed.
"Haha. From this, it can be seen that Meng Qi is a loyal and righteous man. The military division doesn't have to worry too much, not to mention that Meng Qi's thinking is also reasonable. If he secretly seizes the power of the southern barbarians, the southern barbarians can be driven by me. Immediately, when Yizhou is stable, we can develop strength. We can first make Nanman as a pioneer and march into Dongchuan. We will lead the people of Xichuan and then respond. It will be like a broken bamboo, invincible invincible in battle, unify the land of Shu, and then Xiliang and Yongzhou. At that time, the military division can return to Jingxiang and send troops to the Central Plains. Unify the country and revitalize the Han Dynasty, and the day is just around the corner!!"
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang quickly said and drank fiercely.
"The lord can't follow his will and indulge this person. Ma Mengqi's martial arts are extraordinary and his ambition is magnificent. His father, Ma Teng, was originally the overlord of Xiliang. In those years, he conquered Xiliang, gathered the talents of the northwest, and went straight to Huanglong all the way. Ma Mengqi has been repeatedly frustrated. Ma Teng once advised him to live under it for the time being and then plan the future. However, Ma Mengqi did not listen to his father's advice and insisted on fighting with Wen Bofan, so that the Ma family was depressed and had no power to compete for the world from then on. It can be seen that Ma Mengqi is by no means a bad lion who is willing to be under people. After that, this person turned to Liu Jiyu's command. Liu Jiyu was afraid of this person's ambition and sent him to Bazhou to fight against Jiangdong. Later, if it hadn't been for the difficulty of the Northwest Army, Liu Jiyu would not have sent this man to the front line. Although Liu Jiyu is weak, he can still see that this person is evil. Why doesn't the lord take it as a warning!?
As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei's face suddenly turned dark, and a pair of eyes narrowed and said coldly.
"If it is as the military commander said, how can the preparation be as good as Liu Jiyu!"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly bowed his hand.
"Liang was in a hurry for a moment. He mistakenly violated the Lord's prestige and was willing to be punished. However, this fact cannot be done. I hope the Lord will think twice. If it is not stopped, it will surely lead to a big disaster sooner or later!!"
Zhuge Liang's temperament is straightforward, which makes Liu Bei angry, but he hears Liu Bei full of anger.
"Zhuge Kongming! Liu Jiyu's heart was narrow-minded, so he was unpopular. In the past, he was afraid of Meng Qiduo, which made him cold, so that he later turned to my command. I sincerely wait for Meng Qi, so Meng Qi repeatedly spared his life and saved my life several times in the army. Do you know that if it hadn't been for Meng Qi, I would have lost my life in the past!! You only rely on your own opinion. How can I believe it? You can retreat quickly!!!"
Liu Bei shouted angrily and wanted to get rid of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's face condensed, knelt to the ground, and said in a condensed voice.
"Ma Meng has a bad heart and is by no means a loyal man. The mountains and mountains are far away, but if he really has evil intentions, how can the lord know!? If you indulge this person and wait for him to develop strength in the southern barbarians and stand firm, it is really the root of the disaster!! If the lord doesn't get rid of it early, I'm afraid that the disaster will not be cleaned up. I hope you can think twice!!!"
"Zhuge Kongming!! You!!!"
Liu Bei was so angry that his eyes were so angry that Zhuge Liang knelt down with his fingers under the hall, and his whole body trembled with anger. Seeing this, Huang Quan persuaded him.
"Military division doesn't have to worry too much. I have been friends with Meng Qi for the past few years. Although Meng Qi is unruly, he is not a treacherous villain who does not remember his kindness. If you meet each other with your heart, you will treat each other with sincerity. The lord treats him so kindly and righteously, how can Meng Qi turn against it!? What's more, Meng Qi also has a saying that as long as the master has a letter, no matter where he is, he will return suddenly and there will be no neglect. Now, Nishikawa has been fighting for many years and is in need of recuperation. If we don't care about the witch, we will definitely have a fierce battle with Nanman. At that time, if you have the opportunity to be taken advantage of by the northwest thief, what should you do?!"
As soon as Huang Quan's voice fell, Liu Bei's eyes condensed and he nod his head.
"What Gongheng said is reasonable. Wen Bfan spent a lot of money, and he just got the two counties of Brazil and Zitong, but he was willing to abandon it. It must be the intention to make us and Nanman fight for these two counties and turn against each other. How can I follow his treacherous plan!! This matter cannot be discussed again!! Gongheng, please restore your life to Mrs. Zhu Rong as soon as possible and teach her to withdraw as soon as possible, so that I can hand over Zitong.
"Wow!!"
Huang Quan bowed his hand and retreated. Zhuge Liang was anxious and wanted to persuade him. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei had already turned to the back hall. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang slowly got up, shook his head and sighed for a long time, secretly slandering in his heart.
"There is no good step. The lord wanted to end the war as soon as possible and stabilize the situation, but he did not know how to eliminate the root of the disaster first and acted too quickly. Now that the lord insists on doing it, I have to think about it as a guard.
