The year has arrived, the heavy snow does not stop, Jingzhou, Bashu and other places, although the war has stopped, but the time does not last long, and under Liu Xiu's thunderous means, the territory has been basically peaceful, the people seem not to have experienced the short war, each celebrates the new year,...

Xiangyang Liu's Mansion, the New Year's Banquet, the people invited by Liu Xiu have arrived

After a few days of arrangement, Liu Xiu's plan to [show the enemy to trouble] has been basically implemented, and this trouble is also simple, nothing more than the intersection of false and real, true and false all kinds of rebel news, but this result not only allows outsiders to see a [internal and external troubles] Jingbei and Bashu, but also further shows the attitude of the major clans towards him as the Marquis of Chu, and Liu Xiu also took this opportunity to win over some powerful people, such as the Ma family and the Yang family, and then remove some rebels, such as the Zhuge family and the Huang family...

This may be the best description of the great clans, always two kinds of investment, two kinds of preparation, leaving a way back, etc., countless calculations and plans, and the only thing lacking is the full support for Liu Xiu;

Just like the Chen family where Chen Deng in Xuzhou is located, he first supported Liu Bei to ascend to the position of Xuzhou pastor, but after Lu Bu won Xuzhou, he began to support Lu Bu again, and after seeing Cao Cao's strength, he secretly voted for Cao Cao

[Good birds fold trees and perch] are easily used...

……

At the gate of Liu Xiu's mansion, people come and go today, and there are countless officials and nobles, and these people have a large number of tenants, private soldiers, farmland, grain and grass, money...

"Brother Ma, you're here too?!" An elder who looked like a patriarch who was nearly half a hundred years old stepped forward with a smile, bowed to a middle-aged man who came with him, and said to the teenage boy who followed beside him: "Xuan'er, come and see your Uncle Ma!" …”

"I've seen Uncle Ma."

"How can you not come to such a grand occasion...!" The man known as 'Brother Ma' also stepped forward in two steps. bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Nephew Han is also polite..."

The patriarch surnamed Han didn't wait for the 'Brother Ma' to finish speaking, and then smiled enthusiastically at the two white-eyed young men in their teens beside the 'Brother Ma': "These two must be Ji Chang and Youchang, right?" ”

"Ma's five constants, all of them are extraordinary, Brother Ma is so blessed!" The patriarch surnamed Han is named Han Ji, and the word is Gongzhi. Although he was framed and slandered by Chen Mao, a wealthy family in the same county, in the early years, his father and brother were sentenced to death and the power of the clan was damaged, but then, he secretly saved money, looked for the dead, and finally killed Chen Mao, and sacrificed his father and brother with his head tomb. He also became famous because of this, coupled with his own talent, after more than ten years, the power of the Han family in Nanyang has also been restored.

However, his own talent is acceptable, but the two sons under his knees really have nothing outstanding, so he will treat the five sons of the Ma family. Envy very

"Brother Han is so polite..."The patriarch surnamed Ma retreated politely, but his face was lightly complacent. His five sons, famous far and wide, are nicknamed the 'Five Constants of the Ma Family', even if he is only twelve years old, he has also shown extraordinary talents, and he should be proud of being a father

"How can they compare to Brother Han's nephew (Han Ji's eldest son). Ma heard that he was already serving as a county magistrate under the lord...! Patriarch Ma smiled and said politely: "Ji Chang, young Chang, I haven't seen Uncle Han and Brother Shi yet!" ”

"I've seen my uncle, I've seen my brother!" Ma Jichang and Ma Youchang obediently stepped forward to greet each other, and the two families entered the Chuhou Mansion in a friendly manner

…

"Brother Han, I heard about this feast. In addition to the banquet of many famous families in Jingbei, the lord also feasted the princes who lived in Nanyang, I wonder if it is really true? The horse patriarch walked and asked casually, but it was under the guise of exchanging information.

"Indeed!" When Han Ji heard this, he immediately understood in his heart, and he also thought: "I heard that Qi Wang Cheng, Pei Gong Wang Yao, Langya Wang Xi, Pengcheng Wang He, all came..."

Most of these declining Han fiefdoms were not under Liu Xiu's rule, so from many aspects of consideration and planning, these became the main targets of Liu Xiu's wooing, and today they have naturally become Liu Xiu's guests; What's more, now that Liu Xiu has risen strongly and won the world's three firsts, the identities of these Han princes naturally have the possibility of re-rising

"Not only that, but it is reported that even the two scholars who took refuge in Jiaozhou, Yuan Wei, Xu Zijiang, Xu Jing, Liu Yangzhou and others were also present..."Han Ji said with a frown.

"I see, but it seems that even most of the children of the major clans in Shu have been recruited to Xiangyang as officials, and it seems that they will also attend the banquet today..."Patriarch Ma also sighed.

"Father, so many forces are gathered here today, what do you say the purpose of the lord?!" Ma Jichang, who was following closely, suddenly asked.

"Fourth brother, now that the war around the lord is urgent, the lord must want to take this opportunity to win over the forces of all ethnic groups in order to reorganize them for his own use!" The youngest Ma Youchang raised his head, looked at Ma Liang Ma Jichang, and said innocently, his words were full of confidence.

"Young! Don't talk nonsense! As soon as the patriarch Ma heard what Ma Tan said, his heart suddenly tightened, he looked left and right, and shouted softly: "The lord is eloquent, the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain, how can it be difficult to get the lord in those battles!" ”

"Then according to my father, what did the lord do this time?" The white-eyed Ma Liang neither refuted Ma Yan's words, nor did he approve of him, but asked without a smile: "Such a big battle, it's not a co-optation, it must be a threat, right?!" ”

"Ji Chang, your fifth brother is young, how can you follow your fifth brother and talk nonsense!" As the current patriarch of the Ma clan, judging the situation is the most basic ability, no matter whether Liu Xiu wants to win over or intimidate this time, he can't say it so blatantly, not to mention that he is still a self-made lord, let alone something that their Ma clan can talk about casually

"Brother Han, the fairy tongue is unscrupulous, don't be weird, don't be weird! Patriarch Ma said apologetically to Han Ji on the side.

"Brother Ma said this..."Han Ji said with a smile: "The two virtuous nephews are extraordinary, no wonder they will be personally summoned into the Wenwu Pavilion by the lord to accompany the prince to study, but in the future, they will have to rely on Brother Ma and the virtuous nephew!" ”

was personally summoned into the Wenwu Hall by Liu Xiu, and accompanied by the two princes and concubines, it was naturally '******' in the future, Han Ji was very greedy...

"Brother Han said that he laughed..."Patriarch Ma smiled slightly, turned around, and said, "Look, Chen Xiaoqi, Pei Wenxing, and He Yangshi have also arrived..."

"Brother Han, you and I have to hurry up...!"

ps: I'm finally back, it's been a five-day break, I'm really sorry for everyone

However, staying up late for a long time is too hurtful (to be continued. )
