Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan saw Cao Cao, and told Cao Cao about his own construction, the idea of not fighting the soldiers Cao Cao has also been thinking for a long time, but to implement it, you must know yourself and know the enemy, in order to be invincible, for this reason, Cao Cao said his hidden worries

+++++++++++++++++++ Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said: "That's it, what about you, don't make a big move first, I see that you have a lot of people in this large army, and I heard that you have been marching in a hurry, presumably the soldiers are very tired, coupled with the difference in climate between the north and the south, the soldiers are not too adapted to the climate in the south, well, you should be stationed here first, take a good rest and recuperate for some time, time, the appearance of the month." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Then how can I do it, I am here, what are you doing in this small county, besides, this grain and grass"

Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes and said: "You are here, you cried poor grain and grass during the Battle of Guandu, and now you are here again." ”

Cao Cao said: "Lord Shangxian, I was wronged, I was indeed very short of food and grass during the battle of Guandu." ”

Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Cao Cao angrily and said, "What about now?" You sit on several major states in the north, and you have implemented tuntian, you can't bear it for a month? Fool whom? ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from Lord Shangxian, hehe, but Lord Shangxian, it's not a matter for me to stay here, right, I have to make some moves." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "I've thought about it for you, in the general direction, you have to let out the rumors, saying that you are a million heroes coming to conquer Liu Cong, on the other hand, you can send someone to contact those Jingzhou scholars, Xiao Cao, I know you don't have a good impression of the scholars, but for the sake of the overall situation, you have to do this, what to do, you and Zhongde discuss it, as for Liu Cong's side, you have to find someone who can talk to him." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he muttered: "Can you talk about Liu Cong? Hmm~~~" Cao Cao looked at Ma Xiaoquan and suddenly said, "Lord Shangxian, how do I see you going?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan is not ancient and modern on the surface, but he is secretly happy in his heart.

If you want to talk about the person who can move Liu Cong, Cao Cao really can't think of a better candidate besides Ma Xiaoquan, after all, Ma Xiaoquan came to Jingzhou before him, and it is said that he also had a hot fight with some nobles in Jingzhou, and besides, the twin brothers around Ma Xiaoquan seem to be the scholars of Jingzhou.

Cao Cao thought that Ma Xiaoquan disagreed, and begged respectfully again: "I beg Lord Shangxian to help me with this little favor of Cao someone." ”

Ma Xiao was embarrassed in an all-round way, smashed it and said, "Help you?" How can it help? ”

Cao Cao's chest tightened, and he said in his heart: This dog's demon won't take the opportunity to blackmail me again, right?

Cao Cao is right, Ma Xiaoquan is indeed thinking about how to blackmail Cao Cao for a sum of money, of course, there are many ways to slander people, and Ma Xiaoquan's most calculating now is how to make Cao Cao willing.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Shangxian, you say, how much money do you want?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head and pondered, as if it was difficult to make a decision, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, you have one of my subordinates outside the tent."

Cao Cao immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let me in, hehe!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and shouted outside the tent: "Ma Yu of the dog day, let Lao Tzu come in." ”

As soon as Ma Xiaoquan's voice fell, Ma Yu entered the camp with a flattering face, and Murong Ziyan and Zhang Liao came in together.

As soon as Zhang Liao saw Cao Cao, he immediately knelt down on one knee and asked for sin: "Lord, his subordinates are guilty, and please punish him!" ”

Cao Cao stepped forward to support Zhang Liao, muttering "Wen Yuan is not guilty", but his eyes were already on Murong Ziyan's body.

As soon as Cao Cao's gaze fell on Murong Ziyan's body, Murong Ziyan immediately felt a fiery aura coming towards her.

"Ahem~~" Ma Xiaoquan deliberately coughed a few times, Cao Cao retracted his gaze, and said with a dry smile: "Lord Shangxian is so blessed, such a beautiful little lady, I don't know how many ladies of Lord Shangxian?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan's old face turned red and said, "Well, it's not decided yet." ”

Ma Yu answered: "Back to Prime Minister, Miss Murong is the eighth lady of my master. ”

"Eighth Lady?" Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said, "It seems that Lord Shangxian still remembers the Seventh Lady who died early, hehe"

Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Ma Yu, and said in his heart: The stinky boy is the longest, and I will clean you up when I go out.

Seventh Lady Tsing Yi, Ma Xiaoquan has always claimed to the outside world that he died early, knowing that in addition to him and several other ladies, the seventh lady is a cronie in the Ma family's compound, Ma Yu has naturally seen Tsing Yi, which is why Ma Yu can blurt out that Murong Ziyan will become the eighth lady.

However, fortunately, Cao Cao didn't know, Cao Cao thought that Ma Xiaoquan missed Tsing Yi, so he definitely thought that it was nothing for Murong Ziyan to be the eighth, after all, the number of wives in his fifties was close to twenty.

Ma Xiaoquan coughed dryly twice, pointed at Ma Yu, and said to Cao Cao: "My subordinate and his fellow brothers want to marry, but I am in Jingzhou now, and it just so happens that the wives married by the two stinky boys are all sisters I recognize, you see, this dowry problem"

Ma Xiaoquan said this, and deliberately raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's back was cold for a while, but he still closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and agreed: "Don't worry about the dowry, Lord Xian, I'll send someone to prepare." ”

When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he smiled with great satisfaction: "Xiao Cao, you are really a charcoal in the snow." ”

Cao Cao's heart was dripping blood, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be humble and respectful, Cheng Yu, who had not spoken on the side, looked at it, forced a smile, and pinched his thigh several times.

Cao Cao is not a stupid person, since Lord Shangxian accepted the dowry, then convince Liu Cong

Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately spoke: "Lord Shangxian, that Liu Cong's matter"

Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Don't worry, Liu Cong handed it over to me." ”

Cao Cao said worriedly: "But Liu Cong is supported by the Cai family, I'm afraid Liu Cong is also a puppet." ”

Ma Xiaoquan said confidently: "Cai family? A small Jingzhou scholar clan also dares to make a mistake in front of Ben Xian, if the Cai family dares to hinder it, Ben Xian doesn't mind cutting first and then playing. ”

Although Ma Xiaoquan said the second half of the sentence very indifferently, but that domineering spirit has already leaked out, Cao Cao is okay, he is also a hero-level figure, plus he and Ma Xiaoquan have been friends for a long time.

Cheng Yu and Murong Ziyan are different, the latter is shocked because he doesn't know Ma Xiaoquan, and the former is afraid.

Cheng Yu said in his heart: Fortunately, this demon road currently seems to be a person on the same front as the lord, otherwise, it is really unimaginable

As soon as the idea was decided, Cao Cao said he would do it, and he personally wrote a few silk letters, the content of the letters was very simple, nothing more than some polite intimate words, but there was only one central idea, that is, either from me, or be exterminated by me.

Ma Xiaoquan did not sue Cao Cao, saying that writing like this would definitely have no effect, on the contrary, what he wanted was such a result.

It is not uncommon for Cao Cao to have a bad relationship with the scholars, he killed Bian Rang at the beginning, and later killed Kong Rong, and even killed Cui Yan when he was old, all of which showed his contempt for the scholars, so even if Cao Cao wrote a letter like this, I am afraid it would not have much effect.

Cao Cao has a big problem, as long as he is proud, he is easy to be complacent, and the complacency is very strong.

Cao Cao wrote a few letters, but he didn't take those Jingzhou scholars in his heart at all, in his heart, the scholar class insulted him much more than those ordinary people, the reason is very simple, because he is not good-looking, because he is short, and because he is a eunuch.

Cheng Yu did not persuade the lord to change the wording of the letter, he understood that as long as the lord decided something, unless he let him touch the stone himself, the lord would never turn back.

Putting down the pen, Cao Cao raised his head proudly, smiled at Ma Xiaoquan, and said, "Lord Shangxian, how is my letter written?" You said that those guys from Jingzhou, after reading my letter, will they come to me immediately to show their goodwill, haha?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, and said against his will: "This shouldn't be a big problem, of course, it mainly depends on Liu Cong's side." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "This is naturally to ask Lord Shangxian." ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed, patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said: "Of course, by the way, Xiao Cao, there is a place called Fancheng in Jingzhou, I am currently living there, there is a Wangxianglou in Fancheng, well, the girl of this Wangxianglou" Before Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, Murong Ziyan on the side snorted with a flushed face.

As soon as Cao Cao heard that there was a woman, he immediately came to his senses, he approached Ma Xiaoquan, and whispered: "Lord Shangxian, you tell the truth, you eighth lady, are you the top girl in Wangxianglou?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, smiled, and did not say anything.

The top girl in Wangxianglou is not Murong Ziyan, nor is she the Dongfang sisters, but Ximen Wuhate who was scolded by Ma Xiaoquan, but unfortunately, since that happened, not to mention Ximen Wuhate, even Zixiao is gone.

"Hey!" Ma Xiaoquan sighed, patted Cao Cao's shoulder again, turned around and pulled Murong Ziyan out of the tent.

Smelling the faint fragrance left behind by Murong Ziyan after leaving, Cao Cao muttered: "Damn, after I take Jingzhou, I will also go to Wangxianglou to find the girl, hum!" ”

In front of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Zhang Liao glanced at each other at the same time, and then quietly lowered their heads.
