After only Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang were left in the house, Ma Chao looked at Zhuge Liang's unwavering temperament like a mountain, and he was actually a little entangled in his heart.

The boy in front of him, who is five years younger than himself, is a real genius of celebrities through the ages. Although Ma Chao knew very well that Zhuge Liang was pushed to the altar by those literati in a special period and under a special background, and then became the embodiment of wisdom and the spokesperson of loyalty. But on the other hand, for thousands of years, it is not impossible that only he, a prime minister, will appear.

"Okay, now it's just the two of us, and I can help you improve the evidence you guessed before." After Ma Chao calmed down for a moment, he finally calmed down his voice.

"Okay." Zhuge Liang nodded and gladly accepted Ma Chao's proposal.

"The one you said before is indeed what I thought about half a year ago." Ma Chao simply admitted Zhuge Liang's previous speculation, but after really falling into this kind of conspiracy and contemplation, his wisdom that had always been hidden in the depths of the outside bloomed: "However, I want to tell you that talking on paper is no different from sitting in a well and watching the sky, and a perfect plan is even more than 108,000 miles away from a practical plan." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and motioned for Ma Chao to continue. At a young age, he has already shown a calm and generous demeanor.

"It seems easy to remotely control a state, but the important part is the human heart. And that thing is the most difficult relationship to control in thousands of years. Ma Chao sat cross-legged on the couch, thought for a while, and then continued to speak: "Yes, I did as you thought before, hoping to achieve a balanced relationship through checks and balances. But in fact, this plan was aborted before it could be implemented. ”

Originally, the most suitable candidate to contact Cai Mao was Cai Yong. But Cai Yong is just a pure literati, and he has nowhere to start with these scheming. I wanted to use Cai Yan to contact Liu Biao's wife, Cai, through a roundabout way, but after two attempts, I found that Cai was just a woman with no vision and no thoughts. If you really hand over the affairs of such a state to the Cai family, it would be better to let the Ma family soldiers come to the city two years later, and make Cai Mao directly bow down and be a minister. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed with Ma Chao's point of view. Although it is indeed easy to manipulate a puppet with no vision and no thoughts, the first point is that Cai may not be able to achieve half a score. Secondly, even if she can make Cai Mao control the entire Jingzhou with the support of the Ma family, how can she make Cai Mao feel the power of the Ma family behind the scenes?

After this mistake appeared, it would be even more wrong to invite Liu Bei, a hidden dragon, to enter Jingzhou. The only result is that the entire Jingzhou can only fall into chaos, which is not beneficial to the Ma family - checks and balances can only be produced between opponents of equal strength, Cai Mao is really not the same level for Liu Bei, even if he has many years of scholar resources, it will not help.

"So, after figuring this out, I can only put all my chips on Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei is still a smart person. The advantage of working with smart people is that the bottom line that both parties cannot touch is aware of each other. And working with a fool will only make you stomp your feet and scold. After saying this, Ma Chao spread his hands and signaled that he was very honest: "So, Liu Biao suddenly became seriously ill, it was not my success, I was just a latecomer who hurried to remedy." ”

If this truth is told to Huang Chengyan or Sima Hui, the two of them may not be convinced. But when it came to Zhuge Liang, who didn't have half of his political experience, he showed a very approving look: "In this way, the one who did it should be the Jiangdong Sun family that I have been ignoring." ”

"There should be no doubt," Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang felt a little sympathetic at the moment, but he didn't seem to care about those people in Jiangdong, and laughed: "How do you say that?" By the way, barking dogs don't bite people - only those who look honest in Koto usually don't move, and they change in an instant. Poor Yuan Shu just couldn't see through this, so he was gnawed clean by Sun Ce. ”

"Everyone in the world thinks that Sun Ce is a cool man, but in this treacherous and troubled world, how can a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill find the weakest link in the world at the moment of the surging dark tide and easily win the six counties of Jiangdong? How could it be that he was submissive to Yuan Shu before, and he changed his face in one fell swoop, and directly devoured Yuan Shu? ”

After saying this, without waiting for Ma Chao to continue, Zhuge Liang said: "Listening to King Yong's words is better than reading a ten-year strategy." Indeed, behind Sun Ce's scenes, there are now Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, Kan Ze and Gu Yong...... These Jiangdong strategists are no less than the Central Plains Heavenly Strategy. In this way, the Jiangdong Sun family deliberately released Sun Ce's brave performance, and let the world ignore their cunning and gloom like a fox and a wolf. ”

"So, I tell you now that Sun Ce will soon move to Lujiang, and you won't be surprised." Ma Chao smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he still spread his hands. When facing Zhuge Liang, he had already made such unconscious movements twice.

Zhuge Liang's face really shook for a moment, and then he chuckled a little: "In this way, the world is going to be in chaos again." After saying this, Zhuge Liang saw Ma Chao's still unimpressed movements, frowned and fell into contemplation, and then said tentatively: "His Royal Highness King Yong has already dealt with Jiangdong's side?" ”

"Nope."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed to himself, and said inscrutablely: "Indeed, King Yong doesn't need to deal with it. Cao Cao, who should be more than King Yong, should not want the Sun family to interfere in Jingzhou......"

Ma Chao stroked his forehead with his hand, and at this moment he was truly convinced of the young man in front of him. Regardless of whether Zhuge Liang was exaggerated later, but at this time, at the age of sixteen, and staying in the grass every day, the ability to analyze the general trend of the world with just a few clues has made Ma Chao sincerely afraid.

Indeed, Sun Ce didn't have to think too much about it. Because of Cao Cao, who first bordered Sun Ce, the three families now look like each other and have an intricate chain of interests, so that Cao Cao will never allow Sun Ce to get involved in Jiangdong. Moreover, in history, it was almost this year that Sun Ce was suddenly assassinated by Xu Gong's protégé - how could Ma Chao, who had been in this conspiracy for so long, not associate this with Cao Cao?

A tiger general, who was not sniped in the midst of thousands of troops, was killed by two jujubes, although such a result clearly appeared in the history books. But for Ma Chao, who really lives in this world, his intuition tells him that there must be something greasy in it......

Throwing off these complicated thoughts, Ma Chao found that when he faced Zhuge Liang, his mind would drift away and be chaotic. Is it because the original intention of coming here this time is more entangled?

Liu Bei's potential is indeed endless, but no matter how much a hidden dragon is, he also needs a beacon that can guide him forward. From this point of view, under the conditions of the perfect system of the Ma family and the abundant reserve of strategists, there is not much more Zhuge Liang and no less Zhuge Liang. Sending Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei and making Liu Bei rise in the short term is precisely the most beneficial to the future development of the Ma family - under the powerlessness of the map, a manipulable foreign aid, the stronger the better.

But seeing Zhuge Liang's performance at this time, Ma Chao suddenly felt that Liu Bei only soared into the sky and established the Three Kingdoms after getting Zhuge Liang, and the connection between this was too solid. Zhuge Liang showed the acumen and profundity of an outstanding strategist at the age of sixteen, which made Ma Chao feel that after Qianlong met Wolong, would he quietly break free from the already unreliable shackles of his Ma family?

As a result, the current treatment of Zhuge Liang is a very tangled problem....... Ma Chao stared at Zhuge Liang quietly, he didn't believe it, he said these words directly: "Xiaoliang, you are so smart, how do you say I should imprison you?" ”

Ma Chao's honest speech this time startled him, but Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this, and replied humbly: "This is something that King Yong needs to consider, and it has nothing to do with Liang." I'm curious, though......"

"Curious about what?"

"Curious why His Highness didn't tie me up to Chang'an like before?"

Ma Chao was speechless, and at the same time a little crying and laughing, he couldn't tell Zhuge Liang that he didn't want to break up the destined year-old foundation between you and Liu Bei, right?
