Chapter 1192 Why did you choose Liu Bei
"Lord, you have angered Jiangdong Sun Ce by letting Zhang Xiu attack Shouchun this time." Qin Yu of Chang'an said to Ma Chao with a little worry, "In this way, the Ma family has offended Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong this time, and only pressed all the chips on that Liu Bei. Is this too..."
"Does the gains outweigh the losses?" Ma Chao sorted out his appearance. After seeing that he was still as dazzling as the sun in the mirror, he shook the brocade robe behind him with satisfaction and said carelessly, "There is no need to say more about Liu Biao in Jingzhou. It can be perfunctory with just a explanation from the Ma family. As for Sun Ce, hum... How can I not know what he is thinking?!"
Qin Yu was silent again. As a person who regulates the relationship between the Ma family and the Han princes, he has long been well aware of this entanglement of interests. As early as before the conquest of Jizhou, Ma Chao sent Meng He from the Ministry of Ceremonies to Jiangdong to get through, but Sun Ce actually blocked Meng him directly. While Ma Cao's family was discussing Yuan Shao, Sun Ce suddenly accepted the title of General of Ming Han and Wu Chenghou, and secretly promised to marry Cao Cao, and brazenly sent 150,000 troops to Yangzhou to save Cao Cao from the danger of Xuzhou.
On the surface, Jiangdong Group seized an opportunity to take off and grow. However, those who are with the heart can see that in the position of the struggle between the two crocodiles in the Central Plains, the Ma family and the Cao family, Sun Ce of Jiangdong tended to choose Cao in Yanzhou. Otherwise, no matter how brave and arrogant Sun Ce is, it is impossible to turn away the messenger of the Ma family.
"For those who can be fought for and valuable, I, Ma Chao, can honor the virtuous sergeant and condescend. But for the guy who can't fight but still doesn't say anything, I can't let him treat me as a fool!" As soon as this statement came out, the iceberg-like murderous spirit around Ma Chao suddenly flashed, and the figure in the mirror was a little more awe-inspiring. However, this murderous spirit flashed away, and then Ma Chao changed his smiling face: "Let's go to Cheng'an Hall and kill fat sheep with a big knife. Don't let these topics affect our beautiful mood..."
Qin Yu, who followed Ma Chao, looked at the young and strong back and couldn't help showing awe: the young owner grew too fast, and his talent and decisive choice to understand the overall situation gave him an indescribable cold and mysterious leadership style.
However, there is still one word in his mouth that Qin Yu is really not happy to spit out. At the cost of angering Ma Chao, he took two steps quickly and said, "Lord, why did you identify Liu Bei like that? Although the Ma family took the initiative to show their goodwill, it will make Liu Bei repay each other with all their strength. Is it really possible to use this person to clamp down Cao Cao and Sun Ce?
Ma Chao stopped, and there was no emotion on Gujing Wubo's face. Qin Yu secretly gritted his teeth and said again, "Weichen is brave. This is a problem in raising tigers. There was a matter of serving the ancestors in front of the Ma family, and then the Xiongnu repeatedly used it as a lesson..."
At the second half of the words, Qin Yu couldn't say more. However, his tight heart did not get a response for a long time. Qin Yu couldn't help but look up at Ma Chao. Ma Chao also seemed to be lost in thought and muttered, "Raising a tiger? ... Liu Bei is not a tiger, but a real Zhongshan wolf, which is much more difficult to raise than a tiger. However, the Ma family rose in troubled times. If they don't play tricks and regulate yin and yang, how can they sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the wind and clouds?
"In this case, the Lord should be on guard..." Hearing Ma Chao's comment on Liu Bei, Qin Yu's eyes were even more sad. However, thinking that Ma Chao has always had a unique way of calculating others, he only showed the respect of listening to the teaching.
And Qin Yu guessed really well. As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao's eyes returned to normal, and even flashed a little cunning: "This time I chose Liu Bei, do you think I suddenly got into the water?"
"Weichen would like to hear more about it." There is no way. Since the leader likes this adjustment, Qin Yu can only cooperate with peace of mind to meet the vanity needs of the leader.
"Liu Bei is a wolf or a tiger, which is still too early to say. However, at present, it seems that he is indeed an important pawn for the use of horses to transfer the situation. And whether he can be used by the Ma family must be tested by practice. This time, Liu Bei was sent to rescue Yuan Shu, which actually offended Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Biao at the same time, similar to Natou's name. In the future, he wants to survive in the isolated crack of Xinye, but he has no choice but to hold the Ma family's thigh tightly.
Qin Yu nodded. He was very familiar with this move. I only feel that Ma Chao is more convenient to kill people without a knife.
"In addition, Liu Bei has the name of Uncle Han after all. And our Ma family will soon be separated from this real Han family. If Liu Bei, the uncle of the Han Dynasty, takes the lead in acknowledging the status of the Ma family, it can be imagined that even if there are still many oppositions under the Han River, the dust has settled, and the rest depends on how the Ma family works..."
After hearing this reason, Qin Yu was suddenly shocked. Although during this period, the generals of the Ma family's call for the Ma family to fight against the Han Dynasty, Qin Yu suddenly realized that the young man in front of him had been hiding this grand but original government affairs in his chest and paving it silently.
However, Ma Chao has a special ability, except on the battlefield. He can always make his subordinates suddenly hear his out of tune at the moment when he is noble and cold, which is ironic. For example, when Qin Yu was slightly stunned at this time, he saw Ma Chao's five fingers shaking in front of him: "What? Shocked? Let's go. Cao Tai, the poor fat sheep in front of us, is still waiting for us to sharpen our knives.
"Lord, can you not do this in the future?" Qin Yu smiled bitterly and replied very intimately, "This is detrimental to your leadership's prestige."
"I'm afraid of hitting your fragile self-esteem. After all, under the glory of my awesome leader, you will look dim..."
"Well, thank you for your kindness..."
At this time, Xun You, who was waiting in Cheng'an Hall, had come to urge him. Naturally, a master like Xun You can already urge him to be watertight. After seeing him salute respectfully, he smiled like a spring breeze: "Lord, there is already news from Liu Bei."
Ma Chao's connection did not receive the war report in Xun You's hand, and his face slowly bloomed: "Gongda must also be anxious, right? In this case, let's go and meet the poor Cao Ang Cao Tai... I really don't know why the Cao family always feel that they are the only ones who are smarter?"
Xun You and Qin Yu also smiled at each other and followed. At this time, Cao Tai and Cao Ang, who had been waiting for a long time in Cheng'an Hall, looked at the group of friendly but meaningful eyes of the Ma family and always felt that there was a strange and inexplicable atmosphere fermenting. It's like two lambs falling into a wolf's nest...
And when Ma Chao finally appeared, the two of them saw the young man who seemed to be born in brocade, and the smiling look on the young man's face and His Highness looked at each other. The uneasiness in their hearts became more and more serious. It seemed that the group of wolves, which had exposed their fangs, finally waited for the wolf to nod and agree, making them start to chill in the cracks of their bones.
"Cao Tai, the messenger of Sikong Prefecture, saw General Qiqi..." Cao Tai was still bowing and saluteing, and the words organized in his heart dissipated in this strange atmosphere.
"If I guess correctly, General Cao is here, I'm afraid I shouldn't be General Qiqi, right?" Ma Chao did not wave his hand to make Cao Tai avoid etiquette, but sat in the main seat with a smile and came straight to the point.
Cao Tai's face was extremely gloomy at that time. He knew that the deep intention of Ma Chao's words was to ask Jizhou to release Cao Cao. Although Cao Gong had agreed to this promise and clearly asked him to bring the imperial edict, he was blatantly asked to come out by Ma Chao, and he felt that the whole Cao family he represented had been insulted.
So, he took a very helpless move to save the disadvantage of this appearance. At that time, he got up directly, took out a yellow silk thing from his arms, and said solemnly, "General Qiqi, Yongdinghou, Yongzhou Mumachao took the order!"
Any prince, even if he disdains it, should bow down and worship when accepting the imperial edict. Cao Tai didn't have much feeling about the Han Dynasty in his heart. What he wanted was to see Ma Chao kneeling in front of him!
But Ma Chao still sat in the main seat leisurely, his eyes flashed quietly and smartly, and his body did not move at all...
