Many days have passed since the battle of Xiliuju, and the battle of Liangzhou has gradually come to an end.

Han Sui was defeated and left, and ran back to Jincheng.

The Qingzhou army gradually recovered several cities in the land of Sanfu.

Although Ma Chao was rescued by Liu Bei and others, he was seriously injured and did not wake up until today.

The young man, who had some injuries on his feet and was still limping as he walked, walked out of the house where he was recuperating and into the verandah in the backyard.

At the stone table in the backyard, Ma Teng was giving a lecture to Ma Dai and the others, and the young people lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Ma Teng happened to talk about Ma Chao.

"You are all children of my Ma family, descendants of General Fubo. Don't be like your brother and do things with courage and no regard for the consequences. There are some skills, but the heart is higher than the sky, and it hasn't ended up like this?"

Just talking about this eldest son already made him angry.

What Ma Chao did before was really inappropriate for a son.

Gambling with Ma Teng's life is actually a trivial matter, but he is gambling with the entire Ma family.

Ma Dai and the others suddenly had a strange look on their faces, naturally because they saw Ma Chao standing behind Ma Teng and didn't dare to step forward.

Ma Teng, who was scolding, noticed that there was a difference in the expressions of several people, turned his head, and saw the young man whose face was still slightly pale.

In the days when Ma Chao was in a coma, Ma Teng had to peek several times a day.

It's just that now that he is really standing in front of him, he doesn't know how to speak.

Ma Chao staggered forward a few steps and whispered, "Father."

Ma Teng stood up and raised his hand to hit Ma Chao.

Ma Chao stood still.

Ma Teng looked at the eldest son in front of him, who had completely lost the rebelliousness and sharpness of the past, and was reluctant to start after all.

Eventually, he let out a long sigh, slowly lowered his raised hand, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "It's good to be alive."

The father and son were relatively speechless.

………

A few days later, Ma Chao's injuries improved, and then he came to visit Liu Bei in the mansion.

The two sat opposite each other, and Ma Chao's words were extremely respectful, and they were like two people in front of the battle that day.

A big defeat finally wore out a lot of his heart.

Liu Bei, who was at the top, said with a smile: "Meng Qi doesn't need to be so restrained, now that you and I are on the same road, there is nothing to say. There's nothing to say."

Ma Chao pursed his lips, sat upright, clenched his hands into fists, put them on his knees, and said in a deep voice, "Don't dare."

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Meng Qi is a hero in Liangzhou, just like Menghu, he should be rebellious. If you knock out your teeth and lose your majesty, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Ma Chao just smiled.

In fact, the growth of people is just a moment, in a few things.

Xu Chu, who was standing behind Liu Bei, saw that Ma Chao had completely lost his former pride, and he was a little disappointed, he still liked the unruly Ma Chao that day.

Liu Bei smiled and asked, "Now that Han Sui has been defeated, what are Meng Qi's plans in the future?"

Ma Chao spoke: "Chao is willing to follow the envoy left and right, before and after the saddle. It's just that my father is old and can't leave his homeland, so please let him stay in Liangzhou."

Although Ma Teng is not young now, he is by no means old.

Liu Bei smiled and gave Ma Chao an unexpected answer, "Meng Qi is the Qiang people's Shenweitian general, if you go with me, won't you want people to say that I have good talents and don't know how to use them?"

Ma Chao was stunned, not knowing what Liu Bei meant.

"I heard that Meng Qi said on the battlefield that day that he would kill Han Sui in his lifetime." Liu Bei smiled, "Now that he is with me, I naturally want to let Meng Qi get his wish."

He stood up, walked up to Ma Chao, held Ma Chao's hand, and said with a smile, "The matter of Liangzhou will be entrusted to Meng Qi."

Ma Chao got up and bowed down, and he couldn't bow down for a long time.

……

After that, Liu Bei never led his troops to the west after all.

As soon as Han Sui's matter had been handed over to Ma Chao to deal with, he did not intervene again

The truth of the hand.

The second is that there is a big event in the Central Plains, he is in the land of Sanfu, and he never thought that he would be approached by things.

Jia Xu looked at the letter sent by Xun or from Qingzhou, with a smile on his face.

He laughed softly: "I think that back then, Dong Zhuo was in trouble in the Eastern Capital, the soldiers were strong and strong, and Cao Mengde sent a letter to recruit the heroes of the world to fight against him. I don't want the current situation to change, and he will do it again. It seems that in their eyes, the lord is no less than Dong Zhuo back then."

Liu Bei also said with a smile: "Back then, the princes of the world attacked Dong, which was naturally a happy thing. It's just that once it happens to you, it's not so happy."

It turned out that Cao Cao went to Jiangdong through proton before, and took advantage of Liu Bei's siege of Jizhou to take advantage of several cities in Jiangdong.

A confrontation was formed with the Sun family, who had gone down to Jiangdong earlier than him, and the two sides were indistinguishable for a while.

It has become a confrontation between East and West.

Later, Liu Bei entered Luoyang, went to Liangzhou, defeated Han Sui, and won one victory after another.

finally made Cao Cao, who was in Jiangdong, no longer have to sit down, so he came up with an old way to deal with Liu Bei.

Like Dong Zhuo's old deeds, he summoned the princes of the world to attack Liu Bei together.

Now that the text has been spread in the world, Liu Bei coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, wanting to be the king of another new dynasty.

For example, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Jiangdong Sun Quan, etc., all responded.

Liu Bei looked at the letter placed on the eucalyptus in front of him, smiled and shook his head, "This person who does the writing has some skills, and the writing is very good. Even when I read it, I felt that I had really done all the evil things in my own house, and not dying was not enough to thank the world."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "The person who does the writing is Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi. This son is very literate, and I heard that he was very fond of the white horse chapter made by the lord when he was in Luoyang, and often said to people that it is enough to get this male chapter in this life."

Liu Bei's face was strange, and he just smiled in the end.

Jia Xu unfurled the letter on the table and said with a smile, "What does the Lord plan to do next? As far as the eye can see, is it in Shu or Jiangdong?"

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

, said with a smile: "The previous lord's paper can be said to be a fairy hand. As soon as the text came out, there must be turmoil in the Central Plains. At the very least, it can delay Liu Bei's arrival in the north for a few more days."

"What if you delay for a few days?" Cao Cao sighed, "You and I are from the north, and you and I know the wealth of the north. As long as Liu Bei takes a foothold in the north, he only needs to slowly figure it out, and the edge of Jiangdong will be chaotic without a fight."

Nowadays, the population south of the Yangtze River is actually extremely sparse, there are many miasma, and there are often chaos in the mountains, which can be said to be uneven inside and outside.

Although Jiangdong has the danger of the Yangtze River, it is not easy to cross north.

With the wealth of the Central Plains, the danger of the enemy Jiangdong.

The more it delayed, the more beneficial it would be to Liu Bei in the north.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "There is no way, now that Liu Bei occupies the right time and place, no one in the Central Plains can compete with him. If we hadn't avoided disaster earlier, I'm afraid we would have had to wait for death now. Besides, it was also his ability to win the victory in the Central Plains back then."

Cao Cao also smiled and said, "When I was in Luoyang, I saw that Liu Bei had a heroic posture, and now that I think about it, I really didn't make a mistake at the beginning. If you think about it, it seems that my understanding of people is not bad."

Guo Jia nodded and took a sip of wine, "The lord's knowledge of people is naturally not bad, I want to test the lord, what does the lord think of the current head of the Sun family?"

On that day, Sun Ce was trapped in Shouchun and chose Sun Quan as his successor, and then Sun Quan crossed the river with Sun Jian's old general, and under Zhou Yu's auxiliary left, he broke through Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and occupied many cities in Jiangdong.

Now in the land of Jiangdong, only the Sun family can be said to be his opponent.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Speaking of knowing people, Feng Xiao is also a master in this, back then, you concluded that Yuan Benchu would definitely lose to Liu Bei, so we made preparations in advance and got in touch with Liu Biao. Otherwise, when the battle between the two sides is decided, and then I want to come south, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"So today, you might as well talk about the generations of the head of the Jiangdong Sun family, and see if what you and I think is secretly compatible."

Guo Jia drank the wine and muttered, and then said with a smile: "Sun Jian is brave, like a tiger on the battlefield, but he is a man who loves to kill, is greedy and unkind, likes to compete with others for a while, is short-sighted, and it is difficult to see the overall situation. Therefore, even if he does not die at the hands of Huang Zu, he is destined to be difficult to achieve great things in the future."

"As for Sun Ce, his bravery is not under Sun Jian, and he even surpasses it. This person has the strategy of a king, and he is definitely like the overlord of the past. In addition, with Zhou Yu as his wings, he listens to the advice of Cena, and is even above the overlord. In time, he will be the great enemy of the lord."

Cao Cao smiled, "It seems that Feng Xiao attaches great importance to this person."

Guo Jia nodded, "The younger generation, when it comes to both civil and military qualifications, no one can compare to Sun Ce. Even the sons of the lord are far inferior."

If someone else dared to say this, I was afraid that he would have been dragged out to sacrifice the flag.

Cao Cao just smiled and didn't care.

Guo Jia continued, "So I actually arranged some back-up in advance. If Sun Ce crosses Jiangdong, I am sure that this young male lord will die early. But now that he is staying in Shouchun, he doesn't know whether he lives or dies, so the back hand is meaningless. Now I hope that Sun Ce is still alive and well, so that it will be interesting."

Cao Cao didn't ask Guo Jia about the back hand, he also smiled and said, "Yes, if Sun Ce is alive, then the Sun family will definitely be a lot more lively."

Guo Jia took a sip of wine, "As for Sun Quan, he is not like the Sun family at all, but most like a son of a wealthy family. can forbear, have a plan, and is the best candidate to take over the Jiangdong Sun family now. Choosing Sun Quan as the successor is indeed a trick by Sun Ce."

Cao Cao smiled, "In this way, Sun Quan has no weaknesses at all?"

Guo Jia shook his head, "Although Sun Quan has made many decisions after he ascended the throne, plus with the support of Zhou Yu, he has also gained some support from Sun Jian's old department. But he is still young, and he is not the country he built with his own hands, so it is inevitable that there will be some knots in his heart."

Cao Cao heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, "It's Sun Ce."

"It's not just Sun Ce. Now that he sits in that position that he couldn't think of before, he will naturally worry about his brother who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead

Will one day suddenly come back and take back everything that belongs to him?"

"In addition, he will also worry about Zhou Yu, and worry about whether his brother's best friend and the real hero who has made meritorious contributions to their Sun family in Jiangdong will one day get tired of sitting in the position of the governor of the capital, and want to move his position again."

"I can't say for sure. Therefore, what this young man wants most now is naturally to really consolidate his position in the Sun family."

Cao Cao smiled, "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, so you can have a plan?"

Guo Jia nodded, "We have already arranged manpower, but now we still need to wait for an opportunity. Although we are planning to form an alliance with Sun Quan now, if we can weaken them by one or two first, it will definitely make our words carry more weight."

Cao Cao nodded, Guo Jia planned, often in front of the event, often behind the scenes, so he never asked too much about what Guo Jia did.

Guo Jiahu coughed violently a few times, took out a piece of brocade, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Cao Cao frowned, "Your illness is getting worse now, so you should drink less alcohol in the future."

He then sighed again, "You are not in good health, and if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come here. With your ability, even if you stay in the Central Plains, Liu Xuande will definitely reuse you."

Guo Jia still had a smile on his face, "The Lord is relieved, the previous doctor Hua Tuo has prescribed medicine for me, and my life is worry-free. Since I have chosen the lord, I naturally have to do my best to die. There's no reason to abandon it halfway."

"Besides, I haven't seen the lord's hegemony succeed, so how can I be willing to die."
