As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man who had passed the third round was born with a loyal and straight face, and thick eyelashes flowed between his eyebrows.

This middle-aged man is the Taishou of Shu County as expressed by the military general Zhuge Liang, and now he is engaged in Yang Hong.

Yang Hong said a word, Ma Chao squinted at it, thought about it and chuckled: "Chao means that our army does not need to have too much entanglement with Cao Jun in the land of Longyou this time. ”

"Longyou was originally the place where Cao thieves operated, but now it is under the attention, and it is difficult to seize it!"

After a pause, Ma Chao hung his head a little, his head shrugged a little, and he said in a somewhat helpless tone: "But the most critical reason is that the Qiang tribes in all parts of Longyou are extremely rare, and the various departments that disobey and resist have already been exterminated by Cao Jun with the power of thunder!" ”

"Most of the rest are already attached, and it is difficult to be effective in counter-plotting."

"And once Chao successfully crosses the Hexi Corridor and enters the Hexi region, Chao doesn't dare to say that he can completely possess Liangzhou, but it is not difficult to destroy the rule of the Western Qiang State with the power of Qiangdi!"

Every word, although his tone was a little calm, his face was full of endless confidence.

"The Qiang tribe of Hexi, super self-confidence is still prestigious, although it has been gone for a long time, but it will still sell a few thin noodles."

The words fell, and Ma Chao had just finished analyzing the situation in Liangzhou, and he had already begun to prepare to compete for the choice of the main general in Liangzhou.

Since he entered Shu, it has been six or seven years, and all the time he thinks about it is not to regain his strength and return to Xiliang to reorganize his troops to fight Cao thieves, but the reality has disappointed him again and again, and even turned into unwillingness, but he can't do anything!

At first, he voted for Zhang Lu and fought hard to attack Liu Zhang.

The purpose is also to obtain greater merits, so as to rely on great merits to raise the army into Liangzhou.

But Zhang Lu did nothing after all, not to mention his limited strength, and in the end he could only succumb to Cao Thief and give up the foundation.

Cast Liu Bei and forced to land Liu Zhang.

It's a good place to belong.

The first battle of Hanzhong did allow him and Zhang Fei to open up the road to Liangzhou to take Wudu, but it was unsuccessful......

Subsequently, there was a garrison on the border for more than half a year, and there was no war at all, and after a long time, I was naturally a little depressed and unhappy......

He and Cao Thief have a grudge against his father and have a monstrous anger.

This time there will be a chance to be ashamed of Cao Jun in the cold, how can Ma Chao not fight for it?

"The minister is willing to lead the crowd into Liangzhou, and I hope that the lord will approve it!"

In the next second, Ma Chao held his head high and shouted to fight.

The words are firm and the expression is serious.

Hearing this, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, also stroked his beard and laughed, and then stood up straight, and said loudly: "Okay, good, it's rare for Meng Qi to have such a heart to serve the country, how can Lone refuse?" ”

"Ma Chao listened to the order, and ordered you to be the governor of the western capital, supervise the five thousand war cavalry to go north to the cold, join forces with the Qiang tribe, and fight the Han thieves together."

Speaking of this, his eyes deviated slightly, looked at the ministers and said, "With Meng Qi as the general, do you have any objections?" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers under the stairs stood up one after another, arching their hands in response, how consistent the reply was.

Of course, this is also a tacit understanding among smart people.

Liu Bei asked them this, just because he didn't want to show arbitrariness, but in his heart, I am afraid that he had already decided to take Ma Chao as the main general.

At this time, they suggested that it was better to push the boat with the water.

The point is, if anyone objected, Liu Bei really let him go?

What to do?

Entering Liangzhou, Liangzhou has been chaotic for more than 100 years, and the forces of all parties are intricate and competing with each other.

If you go without a foundation, I'm afraid you don't know how to die!

However, thinking about it, some of the courtiers still threw envious glances at Ma Chao.

Conquer the Western Governor!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is by no means a temporary bureaucracy in wartime.

So far, only the former general of Yun Chang has the right to make decisions on the spot.

"I'm afraid that King Han is preparing to let Ma Mengqi run Liangzhou to prepare for the Northern Expedition in the future."

This is almost the consensus of the courtiers in their hearts.

Who doesn't envy such an honor?

"Okay, since all the gentlemen have no objections, then the matter is decided."

"Three days later, the lonely school field personally ordered troops, and Meng Qi became a general."

After confirming again, Liu Bei announced the end of the court meeting, and then left with his sleeves brushed up!

The council ended, and the hall was a sensation.

"General Ma, it's gratifying!"

"Meng Qi, it seems that the lord still attaches importance to you."

"The general is really powerful, I just hope that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, Ma Chao's face suddenly distorted, his fists were clenched, and his anger climbed to the peak in a blink of an eye.

At the time of departure, there was no shortage of courtiers who congratulated, feared, envied and even sneered.

After a while, Zhao Yun on the side walked over gently, patted Ma Chao's shoulder, and comforted: "Meng Qi, don't care!" ”

"Since the lord's weapon is more important than you, you only need to make outstanding achievements in this battle and devote yourself to the benefit of the Han, why should you take the words of the rest of the people to heart?"

"Yes, yes, what Zilong said is good, the old man also wants to go north with Meng Qi to fight, but unfortunately the lord is famous for his age, so the old man can care for the elderly at home."

"Hahaha, don't talk about it, the old man is now envious of you young people."

At this time, Huang Zhong, who had gray sideburns and an eight-foot body, walked over and laughed.

Since he was injured last time, Huang Zhong's temperament has been much more restrained, and he once thought that although he was an old pawn, he was definitely not inferior to others.

can be raised once, his life is dying, his illness is aggravated, if it were not for the recuperation of the divine doctor Wu Pu in the past two months, I am afraid he would not have lived for so long.

"How is the old general doing lately?"

Seeing this, Zhao Yun first clasped his fists and saluted, asking slightly.

"Zilong doesn't have to be in the way, with Doctor Wu brought by Tanzhi, the old man's health is much better, and even under the care of the divine doctor, I still feel that my mental state is more abundant than before, haha!"

Seeing that the two of them enlightened themselves, Ma Chao smiled and said: "Yes, the lord is so important this time, let me take on this heavy responsibility, I really can't live up to the expectations of the lord." ”

"Returning to Liangzhou this time, it is inevitable to regroup and fight the Cao thief again, not only to avenge the destruction of my Ma family, but also to establish a stable rear for the Han Dynasty, and open up an outpost for the Northern Expedition of the Lord and the Lord in the future."

As he spoke, his face became firm and he clenched his fists.

……

Just as the courtiers were leaving.

In the side hall.

Liu Bei stood above, looked at the ministers below, his face was calm, and he said slowly: "Kong Ming, filial piety thinks that Lone really wants to follow the army with his own son under his knees?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Fa Cheng showed a solemn look and arched his hand: "Lord, this matter must not be hesitated, it must be so!" ”

"Although the minister is suspicious of his colleagues for no reason and is suspected of being a villain, for the fate of my Han and for the sake of my Han in the future, I have to have one more general who can fight well, and this hurdle needs to be overcome."

Fa Zheng said slowly, and then explained: "Meng Qi has hidden ambitions in his heart, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not rise again after returning to Liangzhou, if a certain prince under the knee of the lord is in the army at this time, once Meng Qi recovers and stands on his own, he will inevitably imprison the son and take him as a hostage!" ”

"Of course, the minister can also understand the good intentions of the lord to protect the sons, but time is not waiting, and I hope that the lord can make a big decision."

As soon as the words fell, the face of the law remained unchanged, so he kept silent!

He has already analyzed the situation a lot, and as for how to choose, it depends on Liu Bei.

This matter is over!

Liu Bei was hesitant, his complexion changed again and again, and it was more of a reluctance between family members.

The so-called "tiger poison does not eat children." ”

As a father, knowing that his son may be at risk of being taken hostage, this decision is certainly not so easy to make!

Although it is true that he often abandoned his wife and children in his early years, it was during the war and he was passive.

"Those who do great things must be people-oriented!"

These words were said by Liu Bei when he faced the thousands of elite cavalry of the Cao army at Changban Slope.

At that time, the whole army was in danger of overturning, but Liu Bei was still able to do not abandon the people, how could such a mind and benevolence be a cold-blooded person?

What's more, it's your own parent-child?

After weighing most of the thoughts, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang on the side with embarrassed eyes, and asked with a look of seeking advice: "Kong Ming, the policy of filial piety, what do you think?" ”

"The minister seconded the policy of the law book!"

It's just that Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand, saluted with both hands, and said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Liu Bei's face was hesitant, and he said secretly in his heart: "It seems that there is only one son who can give up his son, Ma Chao, Ma Chao, I hope you must not dig your own grave, if Ruoer really dares to rebel, swear to kill you, and wipe out his clan!" ”

At this time, he saw that the most powerful advisers under his command were all in the same plan, and he had no choice but to do so.

Ma Chao must be tested before he can be useful!
