Chapter 531: Rumors Stop at the Wise

After Shi A's true colors were played, the spies of the Black Ice Platform seemed to be inspired, and they all took out their best skills to imitate Shi A's successful experience.

The effect was remarkable, they successfully entered Xuchang City, and they were not discovered by Liu Yu's "shadows".

The spies of the Black Ice Platform wept with joy. Why were they so mindless before, the patterns of the Black Ice Platform were all imitations of the "dark part", and it was too easy for the "dark part" spies to identify them. The Black Ice Terrace must have its own characteristics.

Cheng Yu transformed and trained all the spies of the Black Ice Platform. If you disguise yourself as a farmer, you have to work in the fields, tan yourself, and have calluses on your hands. If you lurk in the Qinglou as a turtle man, then you will be more turtle than a turtle man. That's right, you must enter the Qinglou to be a turtle for a while. If you want to enter the palace as an undercover agent, then cut yourself. Well, there's no one going to do that. After all, as long as it's a man, no one has the courage to cut himself.

The above examples show that the Black Ice Platform has begun a great plan to vigorously penetrate into the masses.

The Black Ice Platform, which sacrificed countless elites, finally found its own mode, causing huge trouble to Liu Yu and the "Dark Department" in the future.

Cheng Yu had considered accepting Shi A to serve in the Black Ice Table. It's just that he gave up because of his loyalty to Wang Yue. Black Ice Platform is loyal to only one person, and that is Prime Minister Cao Cao.

After the spies of the Black Ice Platform entered Xuchang, the first thing they did was to convey Cao Cao's instructions to Yu Ban through the secret teleportation channel of the Black Ice Platform.

After Yu Ban received Cao Cao's information that he recognized him, he suddenly felt that his efforts were not in vain, and he was finally able to get Cao Cao's understanding. His family was also rescued from the place where he was doing hard labor, and Cao Cao made proper arrangements to let Yu Ban let go of his worries and boldly implement the undercover strategy.

After dispelling his concerns, Yu Ban became more loyal to Cao Cao, and secretly vowed to repay Cao Cao even if he died.

Xun You began his strategy against Ma Chao.

He sent an envoy to Daliang with a rich gift to pay his respects to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao has always eaten soft rather than hard, even if he is an enemy envoy, but when he comes with such a gift, Ma Chao has to see him no matter what he says.

It's just that this envoy is very high-profile, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is Cao Jun's envoy. The soldiers of Liu Jun looked at this arrogant envoy of the Cao army, and really wanted to rush up and chop him up. They couldn't figure out what Cao Cao was doing when he sent an envoy over at this time. This is Xun You's arrangement, and this is what he wants.

The envoy of the Cao army swaggered into the big tent of the Chinese army and said: "Mao Jie, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, has seen General Ma. ”

Seeing that Cao Jun's envoy was so high-profile, Ma Chao was furious, and he really wanted to push this arrogant envoy out and cut it down. For the sake of so many gifts, Ma Chao endured it, and said in an unkind tone: "Messenger, you and I are hostile, what are you going to do now?" ”

"For the general!" Mao Jie said with a smile on his face.

Ma Chao looked at Mao Jie very unpleasantly, and said: "If you have something to say, Ben Jiang has no time to talk to you now!" ”

Mao Jie had known Ma Chao's character before he came, he had a bad temper and liked to show off, and he liked vulgar things such as gold and jade brocade. Cao Cao sent so many things that Ma Chao liked, Ma Chao would definitely not get angry, at most he would scold a few words, and it would not be unfavorable to him.

Mao Jie took out a book from his cuff and handed it to Ma Chao respectfully, saying: "This is a letter from the prime minister of my family to the general, please take a look at it!" ”

Ma Chao snatched it over and glared at Mao Jie.

Mao Jie didn't care, the old god was standing aside.

The book only briefly describes some things, that is, to advise Ma Chao not to help the abuse and harm the people in the world. As long as Ma Chao is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, Prime Minister Cao Cheng guarantees that Ma Chao will be prosperous and rich.

"General Ma, the prime minister has heard the general's name for a long time, and he is impressed by General Ma's heroism. It's a pity that General Mingzhu secretly invested to help Liu Yu fight against the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty. The prime minister couldn't bear to see a hero like General Ma being used by others. Mao Jie said with a smile on the side.

"Utilization?" Ma Chao took a look at Mao Jie.

Mao Jie's face turned and said very seriously: "Since Emperor Guangwu, the general's family has guarded Xiliang for the Han Dynasty, and they have worked hard. The general is even more powerful, known as the general of heaven, and no one is invincible. Liu Yu played a conspiracy to force the general to submit to him. even left the general's father, General Shoucheng, in Luoyang as a hostage, although he was a high-ranking official, but he had no freedom at all. Liu Yu seemed to rely heavily on General Ma's family, but he just used the prestige of the General's family in Xiliang and Guanzhong to help him stabilize the situation. The general was even transferred out of Xiliang and directly arranged to the Central Plains, which is also Liu Yu's desire to use the general to fight for him! As for marrying Ling Mei, it was just to temporarily envelop the general. ”

Ma Chao thought to himself that this Mao Jie was really sharp-toothed, so he looked at Mao Jie with interest, which made Mao Jie unable to see what Ma Chao was thinking.

In order to induce Ma Chao, Mao Jie said with added vinegar: "The general should have heard that the bird is good and the bow is hidden, and when the overall situation is decided, the general who holds the military power may only be imprisoned." Liu Yu has always been two-faced and three-faced, can he watch the general hold the army without being frightened? Now, as long as the general abandons the darkness and turns to the light, leads the children of Xiliang to fight back, and eradicates Liu Yu, the traitor, for His Majesty, the general will be famous and will remain in history, and his descendants will be of infinite use for all generations. ”

Ma Chao couldn't listen to it anymore, so he threw the book directly away, and shouted directly outside the door: "Someone!" Tie up this hair ladder! ”

A few big men rushed in outside the door, and tied up Mao Jie.

"General Ma, what do you mean by this?" Mao Jie was a little caught off guard, this was different from what he thought. With Ma Chao's character, he should hesitate.

Ma Chao went directly over and punched Mao Jie's stomach and beat Mao Jie's stomach to the ground.

Mao Jiedu is about to spit out all the food today.

"Do you know why I hit you?" Ma Chao asked viciously.

Mao Jie really didn't know why Ma Chao beat himself.

"Because Ben doesn't like you! A lobbyist is so arrogant, who are you going to hit if you don't hit him? Ma Chao said hatefully.

"Someone, put this daring man in a prisoner's car and escort him to His Majesty for disposal!" Ma Chao said.

Mao Jie was in a hurry and said, "General, the birds are hiding with a good bow!" ”

Ma Chao slapped his hand and scolded: "You still know that my sister has been married to the prince, and she will be the uncle of the country in the future." Can you betray Your Majesty for Cao Cao's illusory promise!? If you don't enjoy the ready-made glory and wealth, you will be really simple-minded to do the kind of business that may not be there. Flying birds are hiding their bows? When the general can't move, His Majesty wants to take back the military power, and he will take it back, and be a rich and glorious uncle of the country, isn't it beautiful? ”

Mao Jie was really stunned, Ma Chao was so good at calculating, he really miscalculated this time.

"I'm angry when I look at you, stay in the prison car. Someone came, unloaded his chin, lest he bite his tongue and kill himself, and usually poured some rice porridge to prevent him from starving to death. This is a great credit to the general, if something goes wrong, the general will slaughter you! "Ma Chao threatens his subordinates.

These are Ma Chao's personal soldiers, and they know that Ma Chao's words are counted, so they took off his chin despite Mao Jie's violent struggle, and Mao Jie's tears flowed out in pain.

Mao Jie was dragged out by a few strong men and stuffed directly into a prisoner car.

Mao Jie didn't expect that he would have such an end as a messenger, and he said that the two armies would fight without killing him? What's going on with being stuffed into a prison cart now?

Mao Jie now regrets that he agreed to come to be this messenger at that time, such a dangerous job, and he still doesn't want it in the future. And Mao Jie didn't know if he had a future, and there would definitely be no good end in the hands of Liu Yu.

All the gifts brought by Mao Dai were laughed at by Ma Chao.

After Mao Jie was dragged away, Jia Xu walked out from another corner of the big tent and said with a smile: "Meng Qi, today's harvest is good." ”

"Wenhe, you're still amazing. It was long ago that Cao Cao would send a guest. Ma Chao played with the gift brought by Cao Cao.

All these things were guessed in advance by Jia Xu, an old fox, and he had already discussed countermeasures with Ma Chao.

"Cao Cao has always liked to use conspiracy, and he will definitely use this kind of trick. It's just that he didn't count Meng Qi, you will be so resolute in taking down all the envoys. This Mao rank, the old man heard of it from Zhong Yun, and he was a great figure under Cao Cao. Jia Xu said with a smile.

Ma Chao said in surprise: "In other words, this time we caught a big fish." ”

"The big fish is not counted, but it will make Cao Cao feel distressed for a while." Jia Xu laughed.

If Jia Xu hadn't guessed in advance, I'm afraid Ma Chao would have been fooled by Mao Jie.

Jia Xu, this old fox, is not so easy to deal with.

"Cao Cao deserves to be unlucky, and he actually wants to separate the relationship between the general and His Majesty. Ben Jiang estimated that this would definitely spread rumors in Xuchang City that Ben Jiang was preparing to defect to the enemy. Ma Chao said.

Jia Xu secretly praised Ma Chao, the growth of resourcefulness is really exciting. As a faction in Guanzhong, Jia Xu naturally hopes that Ma Chao, a leading figure, can be resourceful, and it seems that Ma Chao's resourcefulness has improved a lot after a long period of time.

But Ma Chao's next words slapped Jia Xu in the face.

"Ben will still admire Wen and you. Others say that rumors stop at the wise, but Wen and you stopped the rumors before they even started, which is really smarter than the wise. Ben will finally know how powerful Wen and you are. The thought of the bitter appearance of those rumor-mongers would have been very happy. Ma Chao was very happy, it was the first time he had seen through other people's schemes, although Jia Xu had given him a vaccination in advance.

Jia Xu was stunned, the rumors stopped at the wise man and still had this kind of analogy? Could it be that he was not a wise man in Ma Chao's heart before? Does this Ma Chao still have any hope of continuing to save? Jia Xu was very skeptical of this in his heart.

Ma Chao picked up a piece of gold and threw it to Jia Xu, saying, "Wenhe, come and pick it." The things Cao Cao sent were really good. Ben will not be private, but you also have a share. ”

Jia Xu looked at the gold in his hand and smiled bitterly. Then his figure flashed, and he shared the spoils with Ma Chao openly.

Xun You didn't know that Mao Jie's was taken by Ma Chao, and he had been waiting for Mao Jie's return. He thought that no matter how bad Ma Chao was, he would only blast Mao Jie back, and he would definitely not let Mao Jie have any mistakes.

But waiting left and right, just can't wait for the return of Mao. Xun You estimated that Mao Jie's was left by Ma Chao to entertain him well. From beginning to end, Xun You never thought that Mao Jie would be taken by Ma Chao, and even thought that with Mao Jie's eloquence, it was a very simple matter to leave Daliang safely.

As soon as he thought of this result, Xun You began to arrange spies in Xuchang to spread rumors of Ma Chao's rebellion.

The spies lurking in Xuchang immediately began to launch, and it didn't take long for the news of Ma Chao's rebellion to spread throughout Xuchang. The people of Xuchang were suspicious, and the defending troops were also a little skeptical that Ma Chao had really rebelled.

The news alarmed Liu Yu.

Liu Yu immediately found Wang Dang, Chen Gong and others and asked, "What's the matter?" How could Xuchang spread the news of Ma Chao's rebellion? ”

"Your Majesty, this should be a conspiracy of the enemy. Deliberately separating His Majesty and General Ma. Chen Gong immediately replied.

"It's natural. But didn't the dark department clear all the Cao Jun spies in Xuchang before? Now that the enemy army is actually spreading rumors in Xuchang, is the work of the dark department not done thoroughly? Liu Yu was a little dissatisfied with the work of the "dark department".

Wang Dang said with a face full of shame: "Your Majesty, it is the minister's fault! There was no protection against the infiltration of enemy spies. Please punish Your Majesty! ”

"It's too late to say anything. The rumors are not unfounded, Ma Chao is quite ambitious, and I am really worried that he will plot with Cao Cao. Wang Dang, you immediately lead the spies in the dark department to secretly find out the news from Ma Chao's side. If necessary, solve Ma Chao! Liu Yu is very worried about whether Ma Chao's unstable factor will really be as rumored to be. If so, then Liu Yu's loss will be great. It can also become chaotic internally.

Ma Chao's ambition is so big that he can ignore his father's life or death. So Liu Yu planted a lot of nails in Ma Chao's place, in order to prevent Ma Chao's rebellion. However, Liu Yu will not say this publicly, and only he and Li Gui know that as long as Ma Chao really rebels, Liu Yu will decisively order Ma Chao to be eliminated.

Chen Gong was shocked, Liu Yu was so ruthless, a general was just a little suspicious and had to deal with it. He is not from the later generations like Liu Yu, and he has a deep understanding of Ma Chao. Chen Gong felt that this was not possible, and came out to prepare to admonish.

At this time, a guard came to Liu Yu with a report and said, "Your Majesty, the Yanzhou Liang Ma Chao Department has sent a recital." ”

A recital sent by Ma Chao?!

Liu Yu reacted immediately, it must be Ma Chao's reaction. But the rumors of Xuchang are only this time, and Ma Chao is not so quick to want to know.

After Liu Yu carefully read Ma Chao's recital, he said with a smile: "Okay, Ma Chao has really grown." Pass on my life, and reward Ma Chao Jia Xu with 100 gold. Ma Chao's army is rewarded with cattle and wine! ”

When Chen Gong saw Liu Yu say this, he must have had Ma Chao and Ma Chao have a corresponding explanation to make Liu Yu happy.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with Ma Mengqi?" Chen Gong asked.

Liu Yu gave Ma Chao's recital to Chen Gong with a smile on his face.

After Chen Gong saw it, he also had the same expression as Liu Yu, Ma Chao told everything about the incident, and especially said that he took down the Mao Jie under Jia Xu's reminder. As for the gifts brought by Mao Jie, Ma Chao also said bluntly that he distributed these gifts to the soldiers in the name of Liu Yu. Of course, he didn't say anything about the specific numbers and Ma Chao and Jia Xu.

said: "Your Majesty, it seems that this Cao Cao has estimated the wrong Ma Chao this time." Mao Jie, a well-known strategist under Cao Cao, was actually sent as a lobbyist, Cao Cao really dared to make a bloody investment. It's a pity that this time Cao Cao made a loss-making deal. ”

"Always let Cao Cao win. I'm still here? It's just that Jia Xu is still taking precautions, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be any accidents with Ma Mengqi's temperament. Liu Yu said confidently.

"Your Majesty is wise! I can't wait! Chen Gong and Wang Dang patted Liu Yu's ass.

Liu Yu, who was secretly slapped by his subordinates, said with a smile: "I really want to see Cao Cao's expression when he learns about the situation." ”
