Chapter 754: Ma Xi's Gift (I)

"Humph!" As soon as Xu You's words fell, he suddenly heard a cold snort. Xu You frowned slightly, and felt a rather fierce evil aura coming, and couldn't help but change his complexion, and then he looked at it, and saw a tiger-headed big man behind Cao Cao, and he couldn't help but be frightened.

"Zhong Kang must not be rude." Cao Cao smiled and said lightly. Xu Chu, who was beside him, immediately agreed respectfully. It turned out that Xu Chu Shicai heard Xu Yu call Cao Cao's nickname, and he was unhappy, and he wanted to drink, but when Cao Cao gave an order, Xu Chu immediately reined in.

"Such a mighty strong man, no wonder everyone in the world says that Cao Sikong's fierce generals are like clouds, and sure enough!" Xu You smiled brightly, and he was not angry, but a sycophant made the Cao soldiers feel comfortable.

"Where, where. Compared with the Yuan family's fierce generals, I'm afraid my Cao family is much worse. Who knows, in this series of battles in Hebei, Yuan's fierce generals were killed, wounded, and even many generals in the army were captured. I'm afraid that it's bad luck, I think that if General Zuo wants to send troops in the future, it is better to choose an auspicious day for the king! As soon as Xu You's voice fell, a scribe who intended to suppress Yuan's arrogance immediately became sarcastic in a cold voice.

When Xu You heard this, he still didn't get angry, smiled, and said, "This is not true. Speaking of which, this time the opponent of our Hebei army is really powerful, and its ghost god Ma Xi is worthy of being the first person in the martial arts, and even my Hebei Jiang Yan Liang saw it, and he also retreated timidly. It's just that there is no shortage of heroes in the Cao family, but who dares to challenge him? ”

As soon as Xu You's words came out, it immediately aroused the anger of many Cao generals. Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Xu Chu and other brave men all roared angrily, shocking the servants behind Xu You.

"Huh. Interesting. Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled, whispered meaningfully, and then invited Xu You: "It's fun to have a guest come from afar!" Ziyuan still went to the banquet to talk, everyone drank and talked about things together, and had a happy life, wouldn't it be happy! ”

Xu You glanced at Cao Cao, bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "Then Xu is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

When the time was short, the crowd sat still. Xu You was a guest and sat on the left side of Cao Cao's lower steps. Cao Cao led everyone to drink first, and after three rounds. Cao Cao put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "The so-called Three Treasures Hall is not for nothing, I don't know what happened when the son came from afar?" ”

Xu You smiled obediently and said, "Please also ask Lord Sikong to allow a certain to be presumptuous, this time Xu has come to warn." ”

"Oh, if it's peaceful today, why did Ziyuan say this?" Cao Cao's fine eyes flashed, but he also knew what Xu Yu was thinking, but he also debunked it.

When Xu You heard this, he said with a deep face: "Lord Sikong is afraid that he already knows what I mean, so why pretend to be confused?" The more powerful the Ma clan is now, the Central Plains, where its Sikong Lord is located, will inevitably be in danger once it is attacked by its east and west. At the moment, I have a plan to make Ma Xi have no time to conquer the outside world, so why don't Cao Sikong take the opportunity to solve the locust plague and stabilize the situation in the Central Plains? ”

"Oh? It seems that Ziyuan came prepared. Let's talk about the strategy. Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and after secretly looking at Xun Yu, he asked Xu You with interest. Xu You then told the plan, Cao Cao heard it, and a burst of light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it's really a clever plan!" ”

"If Cao Sikong thinks that this plan is good, he allows a certain presumptuousness, and asks for something, and I hope Cao Sikong agrees." Xu You's expression was stunned at this time.

Cao Cao was also refreshed and said, "You say." ”

"Our army Shenfeng Hou was captured by Zhang Liao under the command of Na Ma Xi, and my lord of my family was concerned about his safety day and night, and asked Cao Sikong to look at the past feelings, and to be able to ask His Majesty to let Na Ma Xi escort Yan Liang to Beijing." Xu You arched his hand.

"Yan Liang!" Cao Cao was obedient, and when he knocked on the case, he didn't answer. At this time, Cao Hong suddenly shouted and said: "General Zuo has always regarded my lord as a competitor, but now he is embarrassed to open his mouth and ask my lord to take back the army for him, it's really funny!" ”

"Hehe, the Ma family is powerful. I think whether it is the Cao family or the Yuan family, it is also quite difficult to deal with the Ma family. This time, Xu came here, but there was a more important purpose, that is, he hoped that the Yuan and Cao families could become good friends with Qin and Jin. My lord has a pearl in his hand under his knees, named Yuan Yuanyuan, this year is exactly sixteen, he looks generous, slim and elegant, I hope to be able to tie up with the eldest son of the Cao family, I don't know how Cao Sikong wills? Xu You said with a laugh.

"Yuan Benchu wants to marry his daughter to Ang'er!?" Cao Cao was obedient, staring at him carefully, looking incredulous, but he quickly reacted and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha~~!! It seems that Yuan Benchu was really forced to be anxious this time, otherwise how could he send his daughter to my Cao family as a daughter-in-law~! ”

Cao Cao knows Yuan Shao's temperament very well, and in front of him, Yuan Shao will never bow his head, and even almost everything will be in the limelight, and he will try his best to suppress him Cao Cao everywhere!

When Xu You heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and after looking at Cao Cao, he couldn't help laughing together. After the two of them laughed out loud, the atmosphere seemed to ease a lot. Who knows, in the dark, Cao Cao's eyes showed a hint of cunning.

So, Cao Cao and Xu You agreed, and entered the palace that night to invite the emperor. Emperor Xian was also obedient to Cao Cao, and soon the book was settled. Cao Cao then sent Liu Ye as an envoy to issue an edict.

On the other hand, it was said that Ma Zongheng had stabilized the situation in Qingzhou, although he heard that Leling was taken by Guan Yu, but in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he did not want to raise more wars, so he took the lead.

On this day, Ma Zongheng was discussing the current situation with Guo Jia. At this time, Ma Zongheng began to worry a little about the Ma family's strength, which would cause a lot of trouble and cause trouble. Moreover, after he obtained Qingzhou, although he was with the imperial court, the imperial court has not expressed anything so far. He had to worry that Cao Cao had become hostile to him, and it was good to make things difficult, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would have the heart to exterminate him.

"Hehe, the lord doesn't have to worry too much. I think that in the near future, there will be an edict issued by the imperial court! Guo Jia was indifferent to this. At that time, Ma Zongheng was still skeptical.

Who knows, after a period of time, the imperial court came to make Liu Yu really come to Pingshou. Ma Zongheng was overjoyed, and immediately led a cadre of civil and military forces to greet him outside the city.

"Haha, I haven't seen Mr. Liu for many years, and he is more elegant than back then!" The horse rode a red black horse, and a firework robe wrapped around his strong body as if it was made of iron, and the whole person was like a burning god of war. Liu Ye looked at Ma Zongheng, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and found that the current Ma Zongheng was much more majestic than back then, and in terms of momentum, there was more of a sense of timidity, as if it was a lower level of power!

"Hehe, General Ma praised it falsely! I have to sigh, the world is unpredictable, General Ma was just a party guard, but now he has become a hero of the world, and even many princes in the world are ashamed of themselves! Admire, admire! Liu Ye bowed his hand respectfully, seeing that his expression was sincere, and it didn't seem like he was saying a lie. Ma Zongheng listened, laughed, and said: "Compared to me, Sikong is a talented person who is willing to bow down!" Back then, he took refuge in Zhang Miao, and he was still under the fence, but now he has become the most powerful minister in today's society. ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, there was a bit of irony, and it seemed that he wanted to give Liu Ye a dismissal. Liu Ye listened, smiled faintly, and said: "General Ma's words are wrong, Lord Sikong can get the glory now, all because of the emperor's grace." And if you say that the most powerful person in the world, who else can there be besides His Majesty? For example, General Ma's words about the right talent, please don't say it lightly again, otherwise it will only cause Lord Sikong to die without a place to be buried! ”

"Hahaha~~!!" When the horse heard this, he burst out laughing, and then pulled out the horse and left. The rest of the civil and military forces also drew their horses and followed. At this time, Wang Xiaohu, who was the only one behind Ma Zongheng, pulled a horse, drove the horse out, and said to Liu Ye: "Please also ask Lord Liu to get on the horse!" ”

"Hmph, the horses are arrogant! No wonder even the arrogant Yuan Benchu couldn't stand him, and he didn't hesitate to join forces with the lord who had always been regarded as a rival! Liu Ye's mind turned, and he secretly stopped, so he bowed to Wang Xiaohu, and Wang Xiaohu returned the salute and stretched out his hand to Liu Ye. Liu Ye put his hand together, jumped on the horse, and left with Wang Xiaohu.

When he was young, he was in the main hall of the state capital. After Liu Ye read the edict in public, Ma Zongheng led a cadre of Ma's civil and military affairs, and then thanked him. At the same time, a cadre of Ma's civil and military forces heard that Ma Zongheng led the general of the expedition to the north and commanded the soldiers and horses of Yan and Qingzhou, and they were all excited. As for some other meritorious people of the Ma family, they all have their own rewards and have thanked them. Among them, Kong Rong was transferred to Qingzhou Beijia, and You Heng was transferred to Qingzhou Chief.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live~!" The neat shouts shook the hall. Liu Ye was even more embarrassed for a while, and then looked at His Highness's ghost-like man, who was now in control of the soldiers and horses of Yan and Qingzhou, he couldn't imagine that when one day this man's power was expanded again, trying to swallow the world and set off one war after another, what a tragic hellish scene the world would become!

Liu Ye was in a trance for a while, which made Hu Che'er a little disliked, and deliberately coughed a few times. Liu Ye reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Flat!" ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his expression was solemn, and he led the civil and military forces behind him to rise slowly. Liu Ye walked down the steps and handed Ma Zongheng both hands. Ma Zongheng also took it with both hands, and after handing it to Kong Rong behind him, he smiled at Liu Ye and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Liu!" I have prepared some small gifts and put them in the resting place I arranged for Master Liu. Naturally, someone will take Master Liu there later. Be careful, and please smile. ”

"Hey, what does General Ma mean by this, I serve the imperial court, it is a matter of share, how can I accept General Ma's gift, if it is passed on, others still think that I have something to do with General Ma secretly, and please General Ma Don't embarrass the villain!" Liu Ye looked frightened and hurriedly said. When Ma Zongheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Ye's hand and said, "Okay!" I said that it was just a little careful, not to mention the custom of giving some small gifts to the holy envoy, I have had it since the beginning of the Han Dynasty! Why did Lord Liu push it? Isn't this more than three hundred taels of silver here!? ”
