After Liu Bei said that sentence to Ma Chao, Ma Chao did not hesitate, he immediately strode out of the lobby after bowing to Liu Bei.

When Ma Chao walked outward, his back was also a lot straighter.

And after Ma Chao walked out of the lobby, Liu Bei looked at his departing back, looked at the long black hair on Ma Chao's head, and he had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was some thoughtfulness in his eyes.

Liu Bei looked at Fei Yi and asked him, "Hussar General Gui Geng this year?"

Fei Yi can be valued by Liu Bei, in addition to his own wit, but also because he has the ability to never forget.

After recalling it for a while, Fei Yi replied to Liu Bei respectfully: "If the minister remembers correctly, the hussar general is forty and five this year."

After hearing Fei Yi's answer, Liu Bei thought about his age, and he realized that Ma Chao was actually more than ten years younger than him.

In the world, more than ten years is almost a generation's gap.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei picked up a recital from the book in front of him, which was written to him by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.

In this recital, Zhuge Liang did not talk about official business.

Liu Bei was responsible for staying in the national capital, and he had the right to dispose of everything at the right of the moment, and there was no need to play the political affairs of Chengdu to Liu Bei.

The letter written by Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei is about the recent performance of the crown prince Liu Chan.

After officially establishing Liu Chan as the crown prince, Liu Bei paid more and more attention to Liu Chan's education.

He not only appointed a number of ministers to serve as Liu Chan's teachers, but also instructed Zhuge Liang to keep an eye on Liu Chan's academic performance when he left Chengdu.

At present, the world is undecided, and the four seas are in turmoil, so Liu Bei's education of Liu Chan cannot be just in terms of scriptures and classics.

On the contrary, Liu Bei has always attached great importance to Liu Chan's education in power, resourcefulness and wisdom.

But unfortunately, according to the reports of Zhuge Liang and other confidants, Liu Chan's performance has been very bad in this regard.

Perhaps in front of others, Zhuge Liang will praise Liu Chan in order to stabilize people's hearts.

But in the correspondence with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang can be described as outspoken.

"The prince has the virtue of benevolence, and the wisdom of change."

Although Zhuge Liang's comments were already very euphemistic, Liu Bei still saw Zhuge Liang's true thoughts from his comments.

And Zhuge Liang's true thoughts coincide with what he has in his heart.

The world is undecided, wisdom comes first, and according to Adou's current wisdom, can he dominate the world in the future and deter the ministers?

For example, after his death, can Adou easily suppress Ma Chao like he is today?

In fact, Liu Bei knew that Ma Chao would not be 100% loyal to him, but in his opinion, what about this?

With the continuous improvement of his status, Liu Bei's mentality, which is now the founding king, has changed.

When he was in the high position of emperor, his first concern was whether a person would be useful to him, not simply a matter of loyalty.

But Liu Bei can have this kind of performance, because he has confidence in his prestige and methods, but can Adou?

Liu Bei's heart began to worry deeply about this matter.

Now Liu Bei finally understands why Han Taizu held his old age and worked tirelessly to deal with Yingbu and Peng Yue.

It's not that Taizu didn't have the confidence to deter Yingbu and Peng Yue, but that he was worried that his successor wouldn't be able to do this.

He is 60 years old this year, and he will soon be 61 years old.

Under such circumstances, Liu Bei had to start thinking about some things.

Of course, although Liu Bei has the style of Han Taizu, some of his actions are not as ruthless as Han Taizu.

If Liu Bang is in power now, in order to prevent future troubles, he will definitely physically destroy the people he fears.

Liu Bei thought of using other means to ensure that his son Adou could sit firmly in the future.

Someone who can make a tyrant like Ma Chao jealous, only

There are people who have made great achievements in war and have great prestige in the army.

And only such a person has always stood firmly behind Adou, and the dream he has pursued in his life will not be abandoned halfway.

After considering this, Liu Bei picked up another secret letter in his hand and looked at it carefully again.

This secret letter was sent by Zhao Yun, the general of Zhengnan who is currently guarding Nanzhong.

Looking at what Zhao Yun played on it, Liu Bei couldn't help but show a scorn at the corner of his mouth after seeing a name:

"Even a barbarian dares to be king."

...

After Guan Yan came to Xiangyang City, she was taken care of by Liu Bei and stayed in the general's mansion in Xiangyang City.

Originally, in the current world, it was normal for a general of an army to carry his family roll in the army, and sometimes it was even used as a way to train future generations.

Therefore, it is okay for Guan Yan to go directly to the barracks to accompany Mi Yang.

It's just that Liu Bei considered that Guan Yan was about to give birth, so he let Guan Yan recuperate in Xiangyang City.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu are like brothers, and he naturally treats Guan Yan as his niece.

He also hopes that Guan Yan can give birth to a big fat boy for Mi Yang, so that in the future, when Liu Chan gives birth to a daughter, he will set a baby kiss, and how good it is to kiss and kiss.

And after Guan Yan enjoyed the treatment of a princess and stayed in the General's Mansion, she immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to the military camp on the other side.

Not long after, Mi Yang in the barracks received this letter from Guan Yan reporting that he was safe.

Looking at Guan Yanjuanxiu's font on the letter, Mi Yang's heart showed a feeling of longing, and at the same time, he was also a little surprised.

Because Guan Yan informed him in the letter that Ma Chao also came to Xiangyang City.

This surprised Mi Yang.

Although Ma Chao is in Hanzhong, Ma Chao's Chuyang has always been under the direct jurisdiction of Liu Bei, so Mi Yang doesn't know much about the situation there.

And the most surprising thing for Mi Yang is, is Liu Bei going to use Ma Chao?

Ma Chao in history is not like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, with clear grievances and filial piety.

On the contrary, Ma Chao has a very bad reputation in history, because he is the culprit who killed more than 200 members of his own clan.

In the official history, the warlord forces such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, who seized Liangzhou, actually had a good relationship with Cao Cao.

Before the Battle of Chibi, Ma Teng and Han Sui, under the mediation of Zhong Xuan, the commander of Sili, often sent troops to help Cao Cao crusade against the enemy.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Ma Teng was willing to lead almost all the clansmen into the court as officials.

From this point, it can be seen that Ma Teng has no intention of resisting Cao Cao.

That period was the honeymoon period between Cao Cao and Ma Teng.

During that honeymoon period, because of Ma Chao's excellent performance in battle, Cao Cao attached great importance to Ma Chao.

He has repeatedly intended to let Ma Chao enter the Central Plains to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou, the doctor of advice, etc., but he was rejected by Ma Chao.

Of course, Cao Cao did this, and he must have the purpose of weakening Ma Teng's power.

But Ma Chao was only in his twenties at the time, and he could be regarded by Cao Cao as the main target of weakening, which is enough to show that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Ma Chao's ability.

Later, in the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao was worried that Cao Cao would use a false way to destroy him, so he raised an army to resist Cao Cao, thus killing Ma Teng and other relatives.

Even if some people in later generations defended Ma Chao's behavior, thinking that Ma Chao may have been born of a different race, and he has always been oppressed by Ma Teng and not taken seriously, so he has this kind of behavior.

It's just that this idea is illogical.

Because Ma Teng handed over all his military power to Ma Chao before leaving Liangzhou, this is enough to show that Ma Teng attaches great importance to Ma Chao.

Otherwise, Ma Teng's head is not sick, and he will hand over all his military power to a "eldest son" who has always been oppressed by him and is not taken seriously.

Besides, the reason why Ma Teng dared to enter the court was because he felt that Ma Chao was leading the troops outside as his support, as long as Ma Chao kept to himself, Cao Cao would not take the initiative to attack him?

This is enough to show that Ma Teng and Ma Chao were father and son at that time

It's not bad, otherwise it's still that reason - Ma Teng's brain is not sick.

And the reason why Cao Cao believed in Ma Teng's initiative to enter the court was precisely because he felt that with Ma Teng in his hands, Ma Chao would keep to himself.

This is a common sense judgment based on past facts and the righteousness of people throughout the ages, and the result is that what happened later can only be said to be unexpected.

And what Ma Chao said to Han Sui after he started the army that year:

"Today's Chao abandons his father, takes the general as his father, and the general should also abandon his son and take Chao as his son", which exposes Ma Chao's true thoughts at that time.

Because of this, Ma Chao directly lost the hearts of the corporal in the world because of that uprising, causing everyone in the world to scold him.

There is no way, in the Han Dynasty, a son killed his father, which is simply a challenge to the moral bottom line of the world.

It can be seen from Ma Chao's past experience that Ma Chao's early personality belonged to the character of extreme self and not afraid of heaven and earth.

Such a person is undoubtedly difficult to control, so since he defected to Liu Bei, Liu Bei has put him on the shelf most of the time.

After all, a person can abandon even his clan father, who can trust his loyalty.

However, perhaps because of the things I have experienced in the past few years, I heard that Ma Chao's personality has changed a lot, at least he knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

And now Liu Bei's implication of summoning Ma Chao is almost imminent.

It's just that after the accident, Mi Yang didn't pay too much attention to this problem.

If he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, how difficult Ma Chao is to use is also something that Liu Bei should consider, and he does not have to worry about this problem.

It's a pity that Mi Yang didn't know that one day in the near future, it would be his turn to have a headache about Ma Chao's use.

Now all Mi Yang's attention is focused on gathering information about the north.

According to the inference of time, Cao Pi in Wancheng should already know about his women's clothing.

Be angry, Pi Goose.

If you don't be angry, you will wait to be ridiculed by future generations for thousands of years.

...

Mi Yang's heart is in the middle of the goose, and now he is in Wancheng, and he is in a good mood.

The weather was clear on this day, and it was a rare good weather since Wancheng entered the winter.

Because the weather is very good, even Cao Pi, who lives in Wancheng, is in a pretty good mood.

Of course, as the emperor, Cao Pi was in a good mood, not only because of the weather, but also because of the good news he had received continuously during this time.

Not long ago, he received a battle report from Du Zhen on the front line, saying that Zhang Liao's army had arrived safely outside Yancheng.

After Zhang Liao's army arrived outside Yancheng, although the thief army had been challenging outside the camp, he and Zhang Liao had made up their minds to hold on.

When their own army could not hold out, the thief army did not launch an attack on Fancheng.

If the current situation continues to develop, it won't be long before the thief army will have no choice but to retreat.

Originally, after Cao Pi received the news that Liu Bei had arrived outside Fancheng, he was still worried that Liu Bei's army wanted to fight a protracted war with him.

But now it seems that the purpose of the thief army is still to think of a quick victory.

This is exactly the same as the speculation of Cao Wei's ministers before.

And even if Cao Pi is not good, he knows that as time goes by, the situation will slowly reverse to his side.

Because he has Cao Wei's strong national strength behind him.

In addition to this good news, as the end of the year approached, the grain production and Dingkou statistics across the country were also reported to him one after another.

Looking at the gratifying amount of data in his hand, the joy on Cao Pi's face never stopped.

These data are not only the embodiment of Cao Wei's strong national strength, but also the ironclad proof that he governed the country well and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

These will be recorded in the history books in the future to prove that he is a Taoist monarch.

When Cao Pi was officially proclaimed emperor, he had great ambitions, and he always wanted to become a Taoist monarch recorded by historians.

And such data, how can it not

What about making Cao Pi, a traditional Confucian emperor, happy?

Under those gratifying data, Cao Pi seems to have foreseen that Cao Wei will one day be in his hands and unify the world.

But just when Cao Pi was immersed in the beauty of Cao Wei's growing strength, Shang Shu made Chen Jiao come to Cao Pi's dormitory with a shameful and angry face.

And Cao Pi, who was reviewing the recital, raised his head and looked quickly at Chen Jiao after hearing the sound of hurried footsteps.

After Cao Pi saw Chen Jiao's face, he couldn't help but sink a little in his heart.

Not long ago, a confidant minister with the same surname Chen also came to look for him in such a hurry.

The experience of searching for each other makes him think about it like a shadow now, lingering in his heart.

Now that he sees that Chen Jiao is the same, of course he will have concerns in his heart.

But Cao Pi seriously recalled that all the orders he had given in Wancheng before were very decent and there were no omissions.

coupled with his confidence in Zhang Liao, his heart gradually settled down.

When Cao Pi's heart gradually settled down, Chen Jiao had already taken off his shoes and came to the palace.

Like Chen Qun, Chen Jiao didn't have the courage to say the news he had just received.

He just quickly came to the main hall and handed over the information in his hand to the eunuch beside Cao Pi, and asked him to transfer it to Cao Pi.

Through the transmission of the eunuch, Cao Pi quickly opened the information submitted by Chen Jiao and read it.

But almost instantly, Cao Pi's originally calm expression changed drastically.

An emotion called extreme shame and anger quickly crept up on Cao Pi's face, and Cao Pi's eyes quickly turned red as he looked at what was recorded in the intelligence.

Especially after seeing that this matter was done by Mi Yang, the anger in Cao Pi's heart directly rose several times.

Because of the anger in his heart, Cao Pi was speechless for a while.

He just looked at Chen Jiao with a murderous look, the gasp between his noses became heavier and heavier, and his chest was constantly rising and falling because of intense emotions.

[In view of the general environment,

Cao Pi wanted to scold people, but he had received a good education since he was a child, but he couldn't think of any lethal words when he thought about it.

In the end, he could only gasp and overturn the book in front of him, pointing to the south and scolding, "Traitor! Female thief!"

"Why isn't he dead yet?"
