The Ma family is also a famous family in Xiangyang.

However, at this time, the Ma family is indeed not valued by Liu Biao, and his family is not as famous as in history for the time being. Because at this time, the Ma family has already made a little famous, but the first three brothers, and the more famous Ma Liang and Ma Jian are not very old at the moment, one is not yet ten years old, and the other has only been born recently.

Now, the father of the Ma brothers is still alive, and the head of the Ma family is still the father of the Ma brothers.

The boss of the Ma family, he was favored by Liu Biao and sent him to reveal a little "truth" to Liu Bei.

For the Ma family, all the properties of their Ma family are in Xiangyang Yicheng, and the family is also in Xiangyang, so although Liu Biao and the Ma family do not have much interest in the relationship, and they also neglect their Ma family a little, but the Ma family does not dare to be dissatisfied with Liu Biao, they are still loyal to Liu Biao, and they dare not have the slightest disobedience, therefore, Liu Biao asked his Ma family to send someone to see Liu Bei, and they did not dare not come.

However, for Liu Bei, in the Jingxiang area, those local scholars who are not very well treated by Liu Biao, and those local famous families who are more frustrated than the Cai family and the Kuai family, are the objects that Liu Bei wants to woo. His Ma family is a Xiangyang family that Liu Bei wants to publicize.

Earlier, Liu Bei also visited the Ma family in private and had a good conversation with the head of the Ma family. Moreover, Liu Bei also realized that the Ma family wanted to rise, and did not want to be subject to Liu Biao and the Jingxiang Wang clan who were highly valued by Liu Biao, and wanted to get a new way out. Under the suppression of Liu Biao and those famous families who are deeply valued by Liu Biao, the Ma family seems to be declining day by day, and there is no way for their Ma family to touch many interests.

Therefore, Liu Bei believes that it is possible for this Ma family to be drawn to his side.

Of course, it should be said now. The Ma family had faintly revealed to Liu Bei that they planned to find another breakthrough, but they did not really throw themselves at Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei has only been voting for Liu Biao not long ago. For the time being, he can't have too many interests to attract the Ma family to serve Liu Bei.

But even so, Liu Bei felt that the words of the Ma family were more credible to him than the words of Liu Biao's envoy. Otherwise, if he was just Liu Biao's envoy, Liu Bei really wouldn't dare to go to Xiangyang lightly. It's too weird, it's too sudden, it's unprovoked, how could Liu Biao ask him Liu Bei to go to Xiangyang to deal with the military and political power of Jingzhou?

Liu Bei and Ma Huang, the boss of the Ma family, have also known each other for a long time, and after meeting Ma Huang in the secret room. Liu Bei directly bent down and bowed deeply to Ma Xiao.

Then he said earnestly: "Bo Chang, you really came at the right time." You should be able to clear up the doubts in your mind. ”

Ma Huang took advantage of Liu Bei's bowing down, looked at Liu Bei with a strange look in his eyes, and then shook his head secretly. Then his eyes straightened, as if his eyes had not changed all along.

He stepped forward to help Liu Bei, smiled indifferently as usual, and said, "Xuande Gong, if you want to come, Gong is thinking about whether you should go to Xiangyang, right?" ”

"Well, Bei knows that he can't hide it from your Ma family. Tell me about it, what is going on in Xiangyang now? That Liu Biao...... Well, is Jingsheng really sick? Liu Bei felt that the most important thing was to confirm whether Liu Biao was really sick, if Liu Biao was pretending to be sick and leading him to Xiangyang, then it would show that Liu Biao must have some ulterior motives for him, like this. Liu Bei really didn't dare to go to Xiangyang, so he had to find an excuse to push Liu Biao.

"Hehe, congratulations to Xuande Gong, congratulations to Xuande Gong." Ma Huang smiled at Liu Bei at this moment: "Xuande Gong, Ma came from Xiangyang in a hurry. Almost all the envoys sent by Liu Biao have been to this Lushan county. This is a certain father who rushed to see Xuande Gong. ”

"Well, Bo Chang, why should I be happy about this?" Liu Bei was stunned.

"Alas, Xuande think about it, now, Liu Biao is seriously ill, but this is not the right time, seeing that the New Han army is about to kill, and Cao Cao's army is also eyeing it, well, don't say that Cao Cao is Liu Biao's ally or something, in fact, it is not a secret that Cao Cao intends to seize our Jingzhou. The reason why Liu Biao wanted to form an alliance with Cao Cao was actually because Cao Cao was so threatening, and Liu Biao was afraid that he would agree to the alliance. Ma Huang said.

"I have also heard of these, and I naturally know in my heart that Cao Cao is uneasy and kind." Liu Bei nodded.

"Xuande, Liu Biao saw that the army of the New Han Army had come to Wancheng, so Liu Yi sent an envoy to hand Liu Biao an ultimatum, clearly saying that if Liu Biao did not return to the New Han Dynasty, he would really raise troops to attack. When Liu Biao heard this, he was shocked and frightened, and in addition, the messenger who went to ask Cao Cao for help came back and said that Cao Cao would not send troops to help the war, only if he Liu Biao made up his mind to fight to the death with the New Han Army and took the initiative to attack the New Han Army, he Cao Cao would wave his army to help, otherwise, Liu Biao himself was not determined to deal with Liu Yi, and he Cao Cao was worried that when Liu Biao sent his troops to help, Liu Biao would have to retreat again. Ma Huang said: "Although Liu Biao was shocked and frightened by the New Han Army, he was still unwilling in the end, so he summoned the generals and ministers in the Jingxiang area to discuss countermeasures. It's a pity that Jingxiang has a lot of talents, but none of them are courageous figures, and none of Liu Biao's subordinates dared to fight. Liu was angry, and as a result, all the generals were afraid of the bravery of the New Han Army, timid of Liu Yi's martial arts, and worried that there were too many fierce generals under Liu Yi's account, and none of them would be able to resist them. ”

"Under Liu Biao's account, it can also be regarded as a strategist like a forest, a fierce general like a cloud, and no one dares to declare war on the New Han Army? If so, why don't they simply surrender? Liu Bei felt that Liu Biao and his subordinates were too timid, just because of the bravery of the New Han Army and the martial bravery of Liu Yi and other generals, no one dared to lead the army to fight against the New Han Army?

"If you can surrender, Liu Biao may have surrendered a long time ago, in fact, many of the policies of the New Han Dynasty seem to be unfavorable to those wealthy families, if they vote for the New Han Dynasty, they will lose what they have now, at least it will be greatly reduced, none of them are willing to surrender, but, since Liu Biao below, so many ministers and generals, but none of them dare to lead the army and the New Han Army." Ma Xiao lowered his head and said: "Speaking of which, Ma is also ashamed, as a person from Jingxiang, Ma did not dare to speak at that time, and did not dare to express to Liu Biao that he was willing to unify the army and fight with the New Han Army. ”

"Hehe, how can this be blamed on Mr. Bochang? After all, your Ma family is not very well treated by Liu Biao, even if you say that you want to fight to the death with the New Han Army, Liu Biao can't really dare to hand over the military power to you to command. ”

"yes, isn't that it? Outcome. Liu Biao was too worried because he was too worried, and he was also attacked by the timidity of his civil and military subordinates, which suddenly led to his old illness, and he screamed on the spot that God was dead Liu Biao vomited blood and fainted. ”

"Is this true? How is Liu Biao's body now? Liu Bei asked a little anxiously.

Ma Huang waved his hand. Liu Bei was not anxious, and said: "Originally, Liu Biao fainted in a hurry, vomiting blood, it is nothing, as long as he recuperates for a period of time, his body will naturally improve." However, after Liu Biao woke up, because he was worried about the current situation, he insisted on discussing with the generals how to deal with the New Han Army. ”

Ma Xiao patted his forehead and said, "This time, the generals saw that Liu Biao was so worried that he vomited blood because no one dared to lead the army to fight Liu Yi. The crowd confessed what was in their hearts. Originally. It's not that everyone doesn't dare to fight, but they are afraid of being invincible. In the end, everyone concluded that it was because of the lack of a general in the Jingzhou army who could shock the three armies. As long as there is a general who leads hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou, how can Jingzhou let the princes of the world snoop? As long as the enemy can withstand the generals of the New Han Army. If they can defeat Liu Yi, then their Jingzhou generals will dare to fight to the death with the New Han Army. ”

"This ...... One will be useless and exhaust the three armies, and the so-called soldiers will be a nest of bears. If there is no general who can intimidate the enemy's two armies in the army, the Jingzhou army will ...... Seem...... There are really few generals who can stand alone. After Liu Bei heard what Ma Xiao said. He somewhat understood the real reason why Liu Biao wanted to invite himself to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou's military and political affairs. It turned out that under Liu Biao's account, there was no general who could fight with the New Han Army.

After Liu Biao's audience spoke, he was even more aware. Because, the three armies are easy to get and one general is hard to find, where can he find a general to help him fight against the New Han Army? At this time. Someone put it forward, saying that Xuande Gong has righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and these two generals can be of great use. Ma Huang looked at Liu Bei and said, "In addition, there are also people who say. Xuande is incomparably benevolent and righteous, and has a superior character, and now that the enemy is present, Liu Biao should reuse Xuande and his righteous brother. ”

"Then Liu Biao ......," Liu Bei said with bright eyes.

"Well, Liu Biao ......" Ma Huang paused for a moment and said: "Liu Biao is a little hesitant, what he means is actually that he wants to directly let Xuande Gong's two righteous brothers lead the Jingzhou army for him, and lead the army to fight against the New Han Army." However, someone mentioned that if you leave aside Xuande Gong and you directly use Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, don't say whether Guan and Zhang are willing or not, in this case, where will you be Xuande Gong? Therefore, after the persuasion of a group of subordinates, they persuaded Liu Biao to take care of his body with peace of mind, invite Xuande Gong to Xiangyang, and temporarily preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao. ”

"Oh? So, Liu Biao didn't want to use it? ”

"That's right!" Ma Huang nodded and said, "Because of this, Ma wants to congratulate Xuande, Xuande Gong, what do you see from this?" ”

Ma Huang seemed to be a little anxious at the moment and said: "From this, it can be seen that the military generals of Jingzhou are already dissatisfied with Liu Biao's weakness, otherwise, how can the power of Jingzhou be said to be let out?" Ordinary vassals, do they dare to ask their lord to cede military and political power to someone else? Hehe, Xuande Gong, if you can manage it well, maybe you will be able to get the support of many ministers and generals in Jingzhou, and even make many famous military generals in Jingzhou return to their hearts. Think about it, if Xuande presides over the overall situation of Jingzhou, and the two generals Guan and Zhang can defeat the New Han army, at that time, your name will resound throughout the Jingxiang region and even the entire Han world. At that time, the people of Jingzhou, in their eyes, I am afraid that they will only have you Xuande Gong and no longer respect Liu Biao. ”

"Hmm......" Liu Bei suppressed the joy in his heart, nodded calmly, and expressed his approval of what Ma Xiao said.

"The merit is high!" Ma Huang said again: "Under normal circumstances, it is very dangerous to have a high merit and a high shock, but if Xuande Gong can get the support of the ministers of Jingzhou, what about the high merit and the master?" I can't say ......."

When Ma Huang said this, he winked at Liu Bei and didn't say any more.

Needless to say, Liu Bei also knew what Ma Huang wanted to say, did he want to say it instead?

This is exactly what Liu Bei wants to see and do the most.

"Then Mr. Yi Bochang, what do you mean, Liu should go to Xiangyang?"

"That's right, it's a rare opportunity, why not go? There was the support of a number of Jingzhou military ministers. Liu Biao will not do anything to Xuande Gong. Ma Xiao said, bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Xuande Gong, I hope that one day, when Xuande Gong can be above ten thousand people." Don't forget my Ma family. From then on, the Ma family will only obey the order of Xuande Gong, the lord! Please accept the horse, Ma Bo often worships! ”

After Ma Huang finished speaking, he really knelt down.

"Oh, I can't help it, Bo Chang hurry up." Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ma Huang up.

Ma Huang is like this, but it makes Liu Bei feel like he has taken a reassuring pill.

Since Ma Huang surrendered to himself on behalf of his Ma family, then. It should be able to prove that Liu Biao's attempt to go to Xiangyang to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou's military and politics is not an attempt for himself. Of course, when it comes to attempts, I'm afraid I just want to use the martial arts of my two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. For this point, Liu Bei very much agreed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the Jingzhou army to fight against the New Han army.

In Liu Bei's heart, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the original kid volunteer Liu Yi have always had a good relationship. This is tantamount to stabbing a thorn in Liu Bei's heart. In fact, Liu Bei himself hoped that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would be able to turn against Liu Yi, and only in this way could these two generals be as they were at the beginning, wholeheartedly treating Liu Bei and following him. However, Liu Bei knew. Guys like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who value love and righteousness, if he personally ordered them to fight Liu Yi, I am afraid that they would really not be willing, and even because of this, they would deepen their estrangement from him Liu Bei. One is not good, it would be bad to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leave him.

One way or another. Although Liu Bei was a little wary of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei knew that if he wanted to make a difference, he had to rely on these two righteous brothers.

Right now. If he went to Xiangyang to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou, and then through the mouth of Liu Biao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the Jingzhou army and horses to fight with the New Han army. In this way, it is possible that a qiē will be logical, and the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not mention that they will not take over the army of Jingzhou. Therefore, if Liu Yi deliberately wants to attack Jingzhou, it may force Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to turn against Liu Yi, so that Liu Bei's expectations can be met.

Therefore, Liu Bei decided to go to Xiangyang.

He picked up Ma Huang, held Ma Huang's hand, patted it, and said: "Bo Chang, then, when you arrive in Xiangyang, you have to ask Bo Chang to take care of it, if he succeeds in the future, Xuande will naturally not lose your Ma family." ”

"Thank you, Lord! Ma will definitely do his best to help the lord achieve his ideals! Ma Huang clenched his hands into fists and lowered his head.

lowered his head, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he secretly thought about danger in his heart......

Well, what Ma Huang thought about was dangerous, which meant that his Ma family was almost blinded by Liu Bei's loyal appearance.

Now, what he said to Liu Bei is actually testing Liu Bei's meaning. If Liu Bei is really a loyal person, then, when he received Liu Biao's request to invite him to Xiangyang to preside over the overall situation, Liu Bei should be a little honest, at least, to express a sense of Liu Biao's trust in him and a little gratitude to Liu Biao. Anyway, Liu Biao sent him a new wild land to settle in, but now it seems that Liu Bei is not grateful to Liu Biao for this. After Ma Xiao's words, it was found that Liu Bei was indeed a man with wolf ambitions.

Ma Huang was a little lucky, glad that his Ma family had not really officially joined Liu Bei, otherwise, if Liu Biao knew, his Ma family would be in danger.

"Well, Bochang, I want to know, in front of Liu Biao, who will strongly recommend Liu to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao? Are they all reliable? Is it possible...... Well, is it worth having fellowship with them? ”

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit." Ma Huang said: "For the sake of profit, there is no intersecting and not intersecting." Even if it is General Cai Mao, Liu Biao's closest confidant, you can try to talk to him. Maybe, the lord may have a bit of a surprise. ”

"What? Cai Mao? He—He's unlikely, right? Liu Bei looked at Ma Huang in surprise, feeling incredulous, you know, Cai Mao is Liu Biao's most trusted person, it is said that Liu Biao was able to sit in Jingzhou as the pastor of Jingzhou and become the lord of Jingzhou because of the support of Cai Mao's Cai family. If even Cai Mao is likely to betray Liu Biao, then what is the difficulty of replacing Liu Biao as the lord of Jingzhou?

"Hehe, nothing is impossible, the lord doesn't know, there is already a little crack between Liu Biao and Cai Mao."

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Liu Bei asked curiously.

"Liu Biao and the Cai family are just related to interests, and they maintain a relationship by Liu Biao marrying Cai Mao's sister Cai. I believe you know this, right? ”

"I've heard a little."

"So, does the lord know that now, the bond that maintains Liu Biao and the Cai family has been broken?" Ma Xiao said, lowered his voice a little and said: "The lord, Cai Mao's sister Cai, left Jingzhou in her early years and went to Jiangdong with Liu Yi, and later went directly to Luoyang from Jiangdong, which is equivalent to breaking off relations with Liu Biao. Although, nominally, it is said that the princess of the first dynasty and the empress dowager of the New Han Dynasty, He, invited Cai to Luoyang as a guest. However, no one knows what happened in the middle. ”

"Hehe......" Liu Bei laughed a little understandingly.
