Chapter 1222: A Complex Relationship
Zhuge Liang looked around, found a poun to sit comfortably on it, scratched his head, and explained in words that he thought was very straightforward: "Chaos is naturally chaotic, but chaos can't be on us people." Obviously, someone wants to fight a conspiracy war in the Jingzhou County Government, and this kind of conspiracy war will generally not affect a wide range, and the civilian Li Shu will not even know anything. ”
Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui knew that the reason why secret anecdotes could be circulated was because some conspiracies could not be recorded in the history books in a dignified manner. And Zhuge Liang's words just pointed to the reason.
"Okay, you make sense." Sima Hui didn't admit it, but he was already convinced in his heart, but he was still a little unwilling, so he continued to ask: "Then tell me, who wants to set up a conspiracy here in Jingzhou?" ”
This question really asked Zhuge Liang, he shook his head, and said with an embarrassed face: "I don't know, the situation is still just chaos, and I can't deduce it without tangible evidence." ”
This answer seemed to satisfy Sima Hui, but Huang Chengyan was very disdainful of Sima Hui's style of relying on the old and bullying the small: "Decao, don't be too happy, Xiao Liang knows what he knows, and what he says is completely convincing." And you, can you deduce the mastermind behind the scenes? ”
Sima Hui's old face suddenly turned red, and he quickly picked up the goose feather fan on the case, fanned it a few times in a pretended manner, and said vaguely: "I also want to test whether he is arrogant and whether he will open his mouth." At this time, it seems that I am too worried. After saying this, Sima Hui smiled awkwardly. However, at this time, he had already fallen into the big conspiracy composed by Zhuge Liang, and he couldn't extricate himself, so he continued to cheekily say to Zhuge Liang: "Xiao Liang, so far, it's not an examination school. If you have any guesses, just say them, and we may be able to help analyze them......."
Zhuge Liang didn't care about Sima Hui's words that were still small shelves, but suddenly became a little interested in the fan in Sima Hui's hand. Zhuge Liang took it in his hand, shook it a few times, and said: "This thing is good, if you are happy, you will cover it, and if you are surprised, you will cover it." Those who make good use of it, within three years, can be happy and angry, and become a Confucian general. ”
Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui saw that Zhuge Liang could say such a great thing from a small goose feather fan, and their faces couldn't help but show a little 'terrifying' look on their faces - the fan was in Sima Hui's hands, but it was just a plaything. But in Zhuge Liang's hands, it has become a magic weapon for self-cultivation. The realm of the two is not the same.
"The Jingzhou conspiracy can first rule out civil strife. Although Cai Mao is constantly making small moves at the moment, he definitely does not have the heart to take charge of Jingzhou, otherwise with Cai's energy in Jingzhou, Cai Mao will also have the opportunity to become a real discursor if he does not wait for Liu Biao to enter Jingzhou back then. Zhuge Liang also slapped the goose feather fan a few times, but he didn't love his hands, and after putting it aside casually, he concluded very casually: "Cai Mao is not scheming, lacks courage, and throughout his life, he is a general who is subordinate to others." And this time it was so blatant, it just showed that he should have received a hint of strong foreign aid. ”
"Who is it?!" Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui spoke in unison, and Zhuge Liang's tight inferences made them ignore Zhuge Liang's words just now.
However, although the two of them remembered it later, they felt that Zhuge Liang was too modest to say that he didn't know. According to his line of thinking, even if he can't speculate on the real mastermind behind the scenes, there should be no problem in straightening out the intricate and subtle entanglements of interests behind the scenes.
As a result, the two of them looked at Zhuge Liang more and more eagerly. Zhuge Liang was impatient in the face of these two people, and instead of immediately throwing out his own conclusions, he asked rhetorically with great interest: "Mr. Huang, master, who do you think is the person behind Cai Mao?" ”
The two couldn't help but smile bitterly at this, they really didn't expect Zhuge Liang to take the test against them in turn. Huang Chengyan first blinked his eyes, and then understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, so he spoke: "That's right, if you follow Decao, you can't get more information." Then I'll help you perfect some ...... Behind Cai Mao, there are two people who can have something to do with strong foreign aid. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled, and when he saw that his little tricks were debunked by Huang Chengyan, he didn't blush. Instead, he calmly put the goose feather fan in front of his face and said, "Who?" ”
"Yanzhou Cao Cao."
"What does it matter?"
"The friendship of ascending to the church and worshiping the mother!"
Zhuge Liang's face was really a little moved, at this point, don't say that he is a student hidden in the mountains, even some well-informed wealthy families don't know that Cao Cao and Cai Mao still have this relationship. This promotion to worship the mother is amazing, that is, to become brothers, to become a good family, and Taoyuan righteousness is the same meaning.
If the two really have such a friendship, then the possibility of Cao Mengde coveting Jingzhou has been greatly improved. Now that he has just won Qingzhou, it is said that he will not have any plans for Jingzhou, but if he controls Jingzhou through Cai Mao's remote control, then he Cao Cao will have another state without blood. In particular, this state is also a springboard for his Cao clan to rise in the future......"
"Are you saying that this year, Cao Cao wants to eradicate dissidents in the court, and seeks Jingzhou outside the court?" Sima Hui was taken aback, although his inner evaluation of Cao Cao increased year by year, but this time he was a little frightened: "Cao Mengde is a traitor in the world!" ”
"There is a possibility of about four points, if Cao Cao wants to take over Jingzhou without blood, he must make the inside of the court a monolith. But our Majesty, although young, has a mysterious and intricate means, which should not be underestimated. Cao Cao really wants to deal with it, and he also needs a lion to pounce on the rabbit. Therefore, I think Cao Cao only has four points to try to plot against Jingzhou, after all, things have to be prioritized, and Cao Cao is not such a person who is eager for quick success. ”
Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui nodded secretly, and then looked back at Zhuge Liang's eyes, and began to reveal the kind of reluctance but admiration in their hearts.
But Zhuge Liang seemed to be accustomed to this kind of look, and said again: "Huang Lao, you said that there are two big people behind Cai Mao, so who is the other person?" ”
Huang Chengyan's face was a little dignified, as if the name weighed a thousand catties, and it was a little difficult to even speak: "Yongwang Ma Chao!" ”
"Huh?!" Compared with the first surprise, Zhuge Liang was really taken aback this time: "These two also have a friendship of ascending to the church and worshipping their mother?" ”
"It's not true, but it's not much farther than Cao Cao's place if you really want to compare. Even, in terms of blood, the relationship between King Yong and Ma Chao is closer to Cai Mao. Huang Chengyan sighed, he only felt at this time, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.
"Do you know what Ma Chao's wife, the current princess, is?"
Cai ...... Could it be said? ”
"Yes, this is the essence of the family. Although Ma Chao's wife is from Chen Liu, her ancestral home is Xiangyang, and since Cai Yong, the three generations are the same family. It's just that Cai Yong is just proud and never mentions this relationship. ”
"That being the case, Ma Chao, the king of Nayong, can know the ...... of Liang Cai" Sima Hui stopped his mouth when he asked halfway through. Although the Yongwang has just passed the age of the weak crown, his mental means are amazing, and he is not far behind the jade in front of him. If he couldn't even think of this relationship, it would be impossible to push the Ma family to the pinnacle of the king.
"But recently, didn't Ma Chao entrap that Runan Liu Bei again?" This question seems to have been held in Huang Chengyan's heart for a long time, and this time in the face of Zhuge Liang, the puzzle solver, he couldn't help but ask: "If Ma Chao has Cai Mao as the internal response, why not control Jingzhou remotely like Cao Cao, and support Liu Bei from near to far?" ”
"If it is really King Yong's hand, this is his cleverness. Cai Mao is arrogant and complacent, once he gains power, it is not conducive to control. And if Ma Chao introduces a Liu Bei to check and balance from it, then Jingzhou can form a situation of yin and yang checks and balances, although the Ma family has been unable to send troops in recent years, but if there is something to take, it only needs to be transferred, Cai Mao and Liu Bei will definitely fully cooperate. At that time, the whole Jingzhou was completely the back garden of the Ma family......."
'Bang', as soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, this crisp voice sounded outside the door. Then, a man in a splendid robe walked in proudly, with a look of extreme admiration, smiling and clapping his hands: "Sure enough, it is worthy of Wolong, thousands of miles away I expected the Ma family's strategy, which is eye-opening!" ”
Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui didn't know who this person was, but they were impressed by the demeanor of the person who came for a while. As the master, Sima Hui stayed even more respectfully, and Shi Li asked, "I don't know who the prince is, coming to the house?" ……”
The person who came glanced at Sima Hui, but then said to Zhuge Liang: "King Yong, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi!" ”
