Chapter 135: Ma Chao's Ambition (I)

Later, I saw that Liu Jiyu was weak by nature and was not a Ming monarch, so he joined the command of the emperor's uncle. Fortunately, thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of the emperor's uncle, he is not only willing to have a certain place, but also repeatedly pays heavy responsibilities. Such a great kindness, a certain dare not forget, willing to repay the liver and brain with death! If the lord is suspicious, just a letter, no matter how far away the mountains and heights, the super immediately returns suddenly, if there is neglect, willing to die!! ”

Ma Chao suddenly showed Huang Quan his loyalty to Liu Bei, Huang Quan looked at Ma Chao carefully, did not see any hypocrisy, and thought that Ma Chao had changed his past years since he joined Liu Bei's command

g uninhibited temperament, obedient to Liu Beiyan, no mistakes. charged on the battlefield, and repeatedly spared his life, and rescued Liu Bei several times.

Huang Quan was full of thoughts for a while, and finally believed Ma Chao and replied.

"Meng Qi is a loyal and righteous person, and he will talk to the lord in detail about the benefits and disadvantages."

Let's say that since Zhuge Liang learned that Wen Han had withdrawn from Hedong, he was in Brazil while preparing troops and horses while waiting for the opportunity to recover Zitong. A few days later, Meng was sent to come, and after Liu Bei discussed with Zhuge Liang, he was placed in the post station. The envoy of the Southern Barbarians asked to see him for several days, but the head of the door hung up the avoidance card for several days. The envoys of the Southern Barbarians went several times in a row, but they were not seen.

One night, Liu Bei was discussing with Zhuge Liang in the county office. Liu Bei's face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"At present, the barbarian king Meng Shu has obtained Zitong, and recently sent an envoy to take Brazil. The lord can first agree, slowly withdraw the soldiers and horses to Badong, and then retrieve Ma Mengqi, Huang Gongheng and others. And in the middle of the handover, the lord only needs to set up an ambush at the border between Brazil and Padang, and take advantage of his unpreparedness..."

Zhuge Liang was talking about a plan, but he found that Liu Bei's soul was not guarded, and he was slightly distracted, and he didn't realize that his voice stopped and looked over. Liu Bei sat on the high hall, suddenly noticed the quiet, and suddenly came back to his senses. Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and asked Liu Bei with a solemn face.

"The lord is in a trance, could it be that his body is hindered? If this is the case, Liang will ask someone to invite a doctor for the lord. ”

Liu Bei made a gesture and laughed.

"Haha. Kong Ming didn't have to worry about it. I just suddenly remembered that Wen Bufan and I had fought fiercely for several years for this Yizhou, and now I finally repelled it, and I felt quite embarrassed when I thought that I would be able to sit in Yizhou in the near future. ”

In fact, where did Liu Bei think about this, he was thinking about it just now, since he sent the letter to Huang Quan, it has been nearly ten days now, if this beauty succeeds, there should probably be news at this time.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report, and Huang Quan asked to see him outside the hall. When Liu Bei heard this, his face immediately turned happy, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to summon Huang Quan to see him. After a while, Huang Quan stepped into the hall and saw a person holding a goose feather fan, wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a white crane, and his whole body was full of remarkable wisdom. What's even more special is that this person's eyes are as gorgeous as the stars, as if they can see through everything in the world, which makes people dare not look at it for a long time.

"What a personable and intelligent person."

Huang Quan looked at the man, and his eyes swelled with horror. I saw the man, with a faint smile on his face, bowed his hand. Huang Quan came back to his senses and hurriedly returned the salute. Liu Bei got up and walked down, laughed, and introduced the two of them to each other. When Huang Quan heard that this person was the world-famous and hot 'Wolong' Zhuge Liang, his expression froze, and he bowed again. Zhuge Liang smiled and returned the salute.

"I have heard Huang Gong's high name for a long time, and he is like thunder. In the past, he only hated the distant clouds and mountains, and he was not allowed to listen to the teachings. It's a blessing to see it today! ”

"The military advisor praised. The military advisor is famous all over the world, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others are all like being played by the military advisor in applause, and a certain is in front of the military advisor, like a spark corresponding to the bright moon. How dare you talk about the word 'listening'? ”

Zhuge Liang listened, smiled, and the two finished their salutes. Liu Bei said with a smile on the side.

"The two Ming Princes are like the left and right arms, and the arms are as long as they are, how can there be a difference between superior and inferior?"

Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan listened to it, and they were all humble and polite. When they were young, the two of them sat down separately, and Liu Bei sat back on the high hall and asked Huang Quan.

"Gongheng, what is the important thing for you to return this time?"

When Huang Quan heard this, he immediately got up and replied, detailing the past one by one. When Zhuge Liang heard that Liu Bei had secretly used a beauty plan, his brows couldn't help but rise, and later he heard that Meng Shu was dead, and Mrs. Zhurong had gained great power, and Ma Chao was rewarded by Mrs. Zhurong and became the master of the Southern Barbarian Lion Cave, his face suddenly turned angry, and he got up and shouted.

"Presumptuous!! Ma Meng got up as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, how dare he be rewarded by the barbarians, what kind of system did he become!! The lord should immediately issue a document, recall it, and impose a fine according to law, so as to clarify the law!! ”

Zhuge Liang was suddenly furious, Liu Bei couldn't help but look stunned, and Huang Quan hurriedly persuaded him.

The military advisor was angry. At that time, we waited for the fence to send people, and the demon woman was temperamental, and she was very appreciative of General Ma. If General Ma uses it, he is afraid that he will be hindered and harmed. General Ma is really forced to do so, and I hope that the military division will not mind. ”

"Humph!! Ma Mengqi is a Hanchen, he should have integrity, and when he should refuse on the basis of reason, how can he accept it happily!? Huang Gongheng, you are also confused, according to you, Mrs. Zhurong is extremely infatuated with him, and even did not hesitate to kill her husband and raise an army to rebel. If Ma Mengqi has bad intentions, Yizhou will be in danger!! ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, Huang Quan and Liu Bei's faces changed greatly. Huang Quan's eyes widened, and then he suddenly realized that he had been feeling inappropriate. Liu Bei frowned, but he felt that Zhuge Liang was too worried, so he persuaded him.

The military advisor calmed his anger for the time being. Although Ma Mengqi was a laid-off person in the past

g uninhibited and cynical. But since he joined me, he has changed his temper greatly, and he has obeyed me, and Qiu has not committed any crimes. Strategists should not be suspicious. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, a pair of bright eyes unconsciously swelled up with a little worry, shook his head and sighed, and then asked Huang Quan again.

Huang Gong returned alone. According to Liang's guess, it must be that the demon woman sent you back, saying that she would not take Brazil, and also return Zitong, but asked Ma Mengqi to stay by his side and return to the barbarian realm with him to help stabilize the situation in the southern barbarians. What Liang Zhi said, right? “

When Huang Quan heard this, his face was surprised, and he hurriedly replied.

"The military advisor is like a god, and he can't do it."

Zhuge Liang listened, his face trembled, his brows were deeply locked, he sighed, and turned to Liu Bei.

"What's so hard to guess this!? If Ma Mengqi has no evil intentions, he must hope to return to the lord's command as soon as possible, otherwise, this person will hope to use the trust of the demon woman to plot against the southern barbarians. The people of the Southern Barbarians have always refused to accept the king, and they are brave, unwilling to lie in the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, and they all have the heart to annex the world of my Han Dynasty. Now Ma Mengqi has won the favor of the demon woman, if he is allowed to go back to the barbarian realm, if he is trapped in the dragon and the cloud, the tiger will return to the mountain. In less than half a year, this person will stabilize the Nanban, and disaster will happen!! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face changed continuously, and he was very hesitant in his heart. At this time, Huang Quan was bitter in his heart, if it was as Zhuge Liang said, he could commit a catastrophe. With Zhuge Liang's strict temperament, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed. For a while, Huang Quan was full of thoughts, and suddenly his face was certain, and he hurriedly said to Liu Bei what Ma Chao said. After Liu Bei heard this, his heart was relieved and he laughed.

"Haha. It can be seen from this that Meng Qi is really a loyal and righteous person. The military advisor doesn't have to worry too much, not to mention that Meng Qi's thoughts are also reasonable, if he secretly seizes the power of Nanban, Nanban can be driven by me. Immediately, when Yizhou is stable, we can develop strength, we can first make Nanban as a pioneer, march into Dongchuan, we will lead the people of Xichuan, and then respond, we will be able to break through the bamboo, attack everything, invincible, unify Shudi, and then map 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 family, just around the corner!! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he hurriedly spoke and drank.

"The lord must not indulge this man according to his will. Ma Mengqi is a person with extraordinary martial arts and majestic ambitions. His father, Ma Teng, was the overlord of Xiliang, and Wen Bufan conquered Xiliang back then, gathered talents from the northwest, and smashed Huanglong all the way. Ma Mengqi was repeatedly frustrated, and Ma Teng once persuaded him to stay under him for the time being, and then plan for the future. But Ma Mengqi did not listen to his father's advice, and insisted on fighting with Wen Bufan, so that the Ma family collapsed, and there was no longer the strength to compete for the world. It can be seen that Ma Mengqi is by no means a vicious lion who is willing to be subordinated to people. After that, this person switched to Liu Jiyu, and Liu Jiyu was afraid of this person's ambitions, so he sent him to Bazhou to fight Jiangdong. Later, if it weren't for the fact that the Northwest Army was difficult to resist, Liu Jiyu was unwilling to send this person to the front line. Although Liu Jiyu is weak, he can still see this person's evil intentions. Why don't you take it as a warning!? ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei's face suddenly darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.

"If it's as the military advisor said, wouldn't it be as good as Liu Jiyuye!?"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he realized the loss of words and hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Liang was in a hurry, mistakenly offended the lord's dignity, and was willing to be punished. However, this fact cannot be explained. I hope that the lord will think twice, if he does not stop it, sooner or later it will definitely cause a catastrophe!! ”

Zhuge Liang has an upright temperament, but this statement made Liu Bei angry, but Liu Bei was full of anger when he heard it.

"Zhuge Kongming! Liu Jiyu was narrow-minded, so he was unpopular, and he was afraid of Meng Qi in the past, which made him cold, so that he later switched to my command. I really treat Meng Qi, so Meng Qi has repeatedly spared his life, and has been among the armies several times to save my life. Do you know that if it weren't for Meng Qi, I would have lost my life in the past years under Jia Mengguan!! If you only rely on your own opinion, how can I be credulous, but I can retreat quickly!! ”

Liu Bei shouted angrily, and wanted to drink Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's face froze, knelt on the ground, and said in a condensed voice.

"Ma Mengqi has a bad heart and is by no means a loyal person. The land of the Southern Barbarians is far away from the mountains and high grounds, but if he really has evil intentions, how can the lord know!? If you indulge this person, wait for him to develop strength in Nanban and gain a firm foothold, it will be a bane!! If the lord does not get rid of it early, the disaster will be together, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be cleaned up. I also hope that the lord will think twice!! ”

"Zhuge Kongming!! You!!! ”

Liu Bei was so angry that his eyes widened, and his fingers knelt down on Zhuge Liang under the hall, trembling with anger. Seeing this, Huang Quan persuaded on the side.

"Strategists don't have to worry too much. I have been friends with Meng Qi for several years. Meng Qi, although he is uninhibited, is not a traitorous villain who does not remember his kindness. If they fellowship with their hearts, they will treat each other with sincerity. The lord treats him so benevolently, Meng Qiyan will rebel!? What's more, Meng Qi also said that as long as the lord has a letter, no matter where he is, he will definitely return suddenly, and he will not slack off. Now, Nishikawa has been fighting for many years and needs to recuperate. If we disagree with the demon woman, we will inevitably have a fierce battle with the Nanban. At that time, if the northwest thieves have a chance to take advantage of it, what should it be?! ”

As soon as Huang Quan's voice fell, Liu Bei's eyes froze, and he replied.

"What Gong Heng said is reasonable. Wen Bufan spent a lot of money to obtain the two counties of Brazil and Zitong, but he was willing to abandon them. It must be intended to make us and the Nanban fight for these two counties, and turn against each other. How can I do it!! This matter is hereby resolved and must not be discussed again!! Gongheng, you quickly return to Mrs. Zhurong and teach her to withdraw the army as soon as possible, so that I can hand over Zitong. ”

"Whoa!!"

Huang Quan bowed his hand, and then took the order to retreat. Zhuge Liang was in a hurry, so he wanted to persuade him, but he knew that Liu Bei had already moved into 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's no good way to go. The lord wanted to end the war and stabilize the situation as soon as possible, but he did not know how to get rid of the root cause first, and acted in a hurry. Now that the lord is bent on doing it, I have no choice but to think about it as a precautionary measure. ”
