In the handsome tent, Ma Yue said that Yuan Shu was dead, which made the original harmonious atmosphere disappear in an instant.

"San Lang, do you know that you killed the highway, and you will never give up in the first place......" Cao Cao blushed, obviously really angry, pointed at Ma Yue and said: "You keep saying that you want to stop the internal friction of the governor and county magistrates, you want to be the general regent, stabilize the country, conquer the west, conquer the south, conquer the north, and conquer the east, you want to let the Han conquer all over the world, but look at what you have done?" ”

Cao Cao was a little hysterical, stood up and pointed at Ma Yue almost scolding, and shouted angrily: "You have already won, why do you still want to kill the road?" You are so blatantly the enemy of the Yuan family, can you be at peace in this world? ”

"Under the Qingzuo Sect, 200 Erlang of the Changshui Army died in battle, and more than 400 Dahan Lang officials died unexpectedly. You know that number, right? Ma Yue ignored the annoyed Cao Cao, and recounted the numbers in his mind very calmly, "Si Li's rebellion, Henan Yin Guanyun beheaded Yu She, a famous general in Nanyang, and Ma Xia, and Yuan Shu retreated to Sun Jian's department, this may be all you know...... But I know that more than 800 children of Nanyang died, and 900 children of Liangzhou died. Yuan Shu occupied my Jingzhao, and the Han army was burned by a fire, with countless casualties...... Brother Mengde, what do you think the purpose of raising troops to fight? War is a means of seeking, turning what is not sought into what can be obtained, but war is a matter of death. ”

"The general does not die, the sergeant dies, dies endlessly. I don't kill Yuan Shu, next time he still has to raise troops against me, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will be killed, you know? Maybe in your eyes, Yuan Highway is called a dead man when he is dead, otherwise it is just victory or defeat. Ma Yue's face was still calm, but a pair of eyes were already fixed on Cao Cao's face, he was also a little excited, and said: "But in my eyes, the death of any soldier means that there is a pair of orphans and widows in this world, I am extremely disgusted with war, so I have to defeat all enemies, and this killing of Yuan Highway made me understand that war is a matter of a few people, but it has to be at the cost of other people's lives." ”

Hearing the words orphan and widow, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at Ma Yue with a hint of difference. Although his father did not die in the war, but

"The world is the world of the people of the world. If I kill Yuan Highway, I will be able to save the sergeants who will be recruited by him in the future. Ma Yue said with a little ruthlessness: "So, I will kill every enemy, the soldiers can surrender, the boss does not have to surrender!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Ma Yue with some horror, and he clearly felt the change in Ma Yue's thoughts. Once upon a time, he entered the palace alone, and Ma Yue at that time was generous enough, and how broad-minded he was when he fought for power and profit with Yuan Shao and others, even to that extent, Yuan Shao and others wanted to kill them, and then Ma Yue still didn't intend to kill them.

Now that I think about it, it was the two sons of the Yuan family who pushed Ma Yue too quickly...... Although Cao Cao didn't want to admit it, there were still four words in his heart about Yuan Shu's death.

Have only oneself to blame.

Cao Cao died down, sat on the futon in a daze, supported a few cases with both hands, rubbed his face vigorously and asked: "San Lang, you killed the road, how do you want me to face the original when you want me to enter Luoyang?" ”

"Brother doesn't have to worry about how to face Yuan Shao, I killed the person, and it has nothing to do with you." Ma Yue waved his hand and said, "As for General Yuan, let's see how he ends...... In order to besiege me to death in the city of Weinan, he instructed the Montenegrin army to storm the city for seven days, killing more than 20,000 Montenegrin troops. I guess with Yuan Benchu's ingenuity, he won't stay in Luoyang anymore...... If he knew how to retreat, I wouldn't kill him. ”

Hearing Ma Yue's promise not to kill Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's heart was relieved, in the end, his relationship with Yuan Highway was not close to the beginning, the two have always been old friends with good personal relations, if Ma Yue and Yuan Shao fight again in Luoyang, he really doesn't know who to help this army of soldiers and horses.

In fact, on the way out of Yanzhou, Cao Cao thought about this problem more than once, and in his mind, he thought that he was probably going to help Yuan Shao. After all, the world is so big, it should be able to accommodate a Ma Yue and a Yuan Shao. And Ma Yue's soldiers and horses are too much stronger than Yuan Shao, he will definitely help the weak one, so that the strength of the two sides can be balanced, and there will be a chance to talk.

But now, he was not so sure in his heart...... Because obviously, even if you add your own soldiers and horses, you may not be able to beat the horse.

In the face of a stubborn person like Ma Yue, he must not stand on the opposite side of him, and can only change his mind by following the temptation by his side.

"That's right...... San Lang, Yan Liang is still in my camp! Cao Cao had already understood the whole reason for the original battle at this time, and summarized the information he had obtained and what Ma Yue had inadvertently revealed in his mind, and Cao Cao was shocked to find that everything bad in the original battle had already appeared at the beginning of the war, and by the time Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang to chase the Black Mountain rout, it was irretrievable.

This is how Yuan Benchu pushed himself into the endless abyss step by step.

In the end, it was not Ma Yue who defeated Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao himself who defeated himself.

"Why did Yan Liang run into your army?" Ma Yue was also surprised, and then thought that if Yan Liang returned to Luoyang, he would probably become the scapegoat of the Black Mountain Army's anti-Han this time, so that Yuan Shao could get a way out...... This was contrary to Ma Yue's interests, so he asked Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, what does Yan Liang's martial arts military strategy be?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why Ma Yue asked this, so he immediately said: "General Yan has no one in the Yanzhou army in terms of martial arts, and the military strategy is also a good general." Why did Saburo ask that? ”

"Yan Liang made a heinous mistake this time, resulting in the defeat of the original army and the anti-Han army of Montenegro. Returning to Luoyang is afraid that it will be a capital crime. Ma Yue stretched out his hand to play on a few cases, thinking about how to make Cao Cao accept, and said: "Even if I don't mention it, Brother Ben Chu will not forgive him, it is better for Brother Meng De to help him hide for the time being, no one knows where Yan Liang is, and he can't be said to have died in the chaos." In this way, Yan Liang's life was saved. To the back, how about making it guilty and meritorious to fight for the Han Dynasty? ”

"This ...... It's not appropriate. Cao Cao said with some uncertainty: "Since Yan Liang has committed a big crime, he should be handed over to the imperial court to deal with it impartially, and there must be an explanation whether he is dead or alive, how can Cao make a decision without authorization." ”

"In the past, I had Guan Yu, the general under my account, and he was only in exile at the beginning, if he killed people to pay for his life, Hukou Yuan Shao sent Zhang Jaw to cross the Yellow River to intercept my back grain road, there would be no battle of Weinan, and I would be defeated under Tongguan." Ma Yue said with a smile: "To make the best use of people's talents, the key is to have a moral heart, I believe that if it is a person like Brother Meng De, he will definitely be able to guide Yan Liang to make meritorious contributions in the future." ”

Cao Cao was said to be moved.

This morning, he still envied Zhang Fei and Lu Bu's bravery in the world, but now God has sent Yuan Shao's equally brave generals in his own hands, what should he do?

But after a while, Cao Cao made a decision, got up and confessed to Ma Yue Liu Bei, turned around and went out of the tent to find Yan Liang and find a place for him to live...... Of course, first of all, let's talk about the good face.

Cao Cao's whereabouts were not mentioned for the time being, and Ma Yue looked at Liu Bei.

"Brother Xuande, what kind of ambition do you have?" Compared with Cao Cao, in Ma Yue's opinion, Liu Bei is easier to restrain and easier to use for him. Tomorrow morning we will go to Luoyang, and the army will definitely not be able to enter the city, so we can only enter Luoyang with a maximum of 500 people. In skirmishes, elite forces occupy a dominant position, and if they can get the help of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, it will be more smooth to enter Luoyang.

"Ambition?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, shook his head a little lonely, pursed his lips and said: "General, as you said, he is just a deputy prime minister with a false position, where will there be any lofty ambitions." ”

"Xuande, don't say that." Ma Yue waved his hand and said: "Do you remember the chance encounter on the road in Jizhou, when you and I were white, now you are the minister of state, and the post is two thousand stones, is this still low?" What's more, even a white body can talk about ambitions, not to mention Xuande, let's listen to it. ”

Liu Bei was silent, to be honest, he didn't have any ambition to show his hand to speak in front of Ma Yue.

In the face of Ma Yue, an auxiliary general who has frequent bold words, as soon as the conclusion of the four expeditions in the southeast, northwest and northwest comes out, who dares to express his ambitions to him?

"General, is this world really as vast as you say?" Liu Bei considered his choice of words, and asked with a feeling that he wanted to stretch out but took it back: "Is Dahan just a corner of the world?" ”

Ma Yue smiled and said with some amusement: "Your Excellency has not yet stated your ambitions, so I plan to wait for you to say your lofty ambitions, and I will answer your question." ”

Liu Bei lowered his head and smiled, and only after a while did he make up his mind to raise his head and say: "General, I don't know what kind of ambition I have at this moment, before the time of the Yellow Turban, I wanted to stabilize the world, sweep away the rebellion, and want to stand up when the Han was in danger, and keep the Han safe forever." But now that the rebellion has been eliminated, the Yellow Turbans have long been wiped out, and even the resurgence of the Montenegrin Army has been defeated...... I really don't know what other ambitions I have. ”

"Will you keep the peace of the Han forever? It's a great ambition, but it's also hard. Compared with Liu Bei's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Ma Yue had a different feeling in his heart. In another time and space without himself, the shy man named Liu Bei in front of him because of this simple ambition, succeeded the clan, inherited the Han Dynasty, and pointed directly at the heroes of the world after King Jing of Zhongshan.

It started at the end of the micro and was upside down for half a lifetime, but with a tenacity, it was determined to stand on three legs.

Until forty years after the man's death, Ji Han's rebellion against the powerful Cao Wei in the north never stopped.

Ma Yue nodded heavily, got up and pulled Liu Bei up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "With us, the big man will be stable." Come, I'll show you a map. ”

As he spoke, Ma Yue turned around and pulled up a map in the tent and spread it on the ground, which was a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, including various state capitals and the Western Regions.

"Look, this is Dahan, Dahan is by no means the corner of the world, but the center of the world, and everything starts here...... This is the Western Regions, where there is an extremely high snow-capped mountain, and if you look west in Liangzhou, you will see the same white snow all year round. Over there is a powerful country established by the Dayue clan, and Xianbei in the north is our old enemy, and then ...... to the east."

The map of the world all entered Liu Bei's mind like a brand on this night.
