At this moment, Ma Liang's heart was very surprised. In this Runan City, he lived for many days, and he had never even seen Liu Ye's face, and sometimes, Ma Liang would have the idea of giving up. However, because of Liu Biao's order, he had to continue to stay.

Another reason is that I also want to make a career and soar.

Man! Since he has been in politics, he also hopes to make contributions regardless of whether he is in Qinggao, which is not shameful.

Ma Liang didn't expect that Liu Ye was finally going to see him. It seems to be a little faster than expected.

After a moment of surprise, Ma Liang put away his long sword, went back to the room to change his clothes, and walked out.

"Please."

The guard bent over Ma Liang and said.

"Please." Ma Liang nodded and said.

Immediately, Ma Liang came to the outside of the mansion, got into the carriage, and headed for the Taishou Mansion. After arriving at the Taishou Mansion, Ma Liang went straight into the hall.

"Mr. Ma. I have heard of Mr. Daming, Ma's Wuchang, and the white eyebrows are the best. At this moment, Liu Ye was sitting in the first place, but when he saw Ma Liang walking in, he got up and greeted with a smile.

"I don't deserve Liu Taishou to praise him like this." Ma Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised by Liu Ye's courtesy, but he still returned the salute very politely.

After the ceremony, Liu Ye invited Ma Liang to sit down, and he himself returned to the top and knelt down. As soon as he sat down, Liu Ye raised his fist and apologized:

"These days, because Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others sent people over, I was thinking about how to deal with the relationship with them, so I neglected Mr., and asked Mr. not to be surprised."

"Liu is too conservative... Liu Ye's words are quite straightforward. Slightly winning some favor from Ma Liang, he raised his fist and said

After a pause, Ma Liang said again: "Liu Taishou's deeds have spread, and Liu Jingzhou admires it very much, so he sent him down to contact Liu Taishou." ”

"Hehe, in fact, Mr. doesn't have to explain so much. What is the intention of Mr. and what is Liu Jingzhou's intention, it is very clear in my heart. Liu Ye smiled slightly and said.

Ma Liang was slightly startled, and Liu Ye's words were too refreshing. It's also confusing. Is it sneering at Liu Jingzhou's indiscretion to win him over, or something else.

In a flash, Ma Lianggang was about to explain.

saw Liu Ye said: "Today, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are the strongest, and Liu Xun is the second. Now that Liu Xun and I are not at odds with the world, everyone in the world may think that I will throw myself into this Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in order to obtain high-ranking officials. But.... Speaking of this, Liu Ye paused and said very solemnly:

"But Liu Jingzhou also has his advantages."

"Advantage?" Ma Liang was slightly stunned, very strange in his heart. That's right, Liu Biao does have some advantages, he has a good geographical location and rich people, but Liu Biao has no ambition, which is the biggest weakness.

With this weakness, it completely covers up Liu Biao's advantages, what is it?

Just when Ma Liang was guessing in his heart, Liu Ye said solemnly: "Liu Jingzhou is a benevolent and righteous person, I think it will be more secure to follow him, after all, Zhang Xiu was a column before." Liu Jingzhou is really a person of benevolence and righteousness, but he doesn't know what to do. ”

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ye raised his fist to the north and continued:

"You might as well tell Mr. that I actually intended to defect to Liu Jingzhou. I told Liu Bi's envoy about this before. This has already been spread, and I believe you must know the news. “

"Although I now occupy two counties, I still don't have enough strength. Presumably everyone in the world knows that Jiangdong Liu Xun is a person who must repay him. Now that I have offended him, with his previous personality, it is estimated that he will lead a large army to fight at any time, and I also want to seek a backer. And in this world, Yuan Shao is too far away from me, far water can't quench his thirst, and Cao Cao himself can't protect himself, so they are not the objects of my refuge. For example, I am afraid that the only one who can protect me today is Liu Jingzhou, but I don't know if Liu Jingzhou dares to offend Liu Xun and take me in. ”

Ma Liang was stunned when he heard this, thinking about it carefully, it was really like this, and this was indeed an advantage. But accepting Liu Ye is equivalent to breaking with Liu Xun, and with Liu Xun's current strength, he will immediately send troops to recruit Jingzhou.

But this troubled era itself is a blessing and a curse, although Jingzhou is a little worse than Jiangdong in terms of reputation, but if Liu Ye is added, it is not good that it can be flanked by two ways to annex Jiangdong and occupy the entire southern land.

After all, Liu Ye attacked Liu Xun from the north and south, and Liu Xun was not so easy to deal with them even if he was strong.

People all over the world may think that Liu Xun is stronger than Liu Biao, but that is because Liu Biao is personally weak, if it is true about population, territory, economy, number of troops, and talents, Jingzhou will definitely not lose to Jiangdong.

Ma Liang was overjoyed when he heard this. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. Even Liu Biao just asked him to come over to mean something, and he just showed kindness to Liu Ye in Runan, which might be of some use. But as for the matter of subduing Liu Ye, Liu Biao never thought about it.

Don't say that Liu Biao didn't think about it, even Ma Liang just dreamed and wanted to work hard to get some credit for himself, Ma Liang himself knew that there was little hope. But unexpectedly, sometimes this happens unexpectedly.

It was almost impossible for Liu Ye to defect to Liu Biao, so he actually chose to defect to Liu Biao.

"Liu Tai is upright." I was overjoyed that for Liu Ye, Ma Liang almost kissed him, thinking that whether I can be promoted and make a fortune in the future depends on you.

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't deserve such praise." For Ma Liang's admiration, Liu Ye hurriedly raised his fist and said that he didn't dare.

At this moment, Liu Ye's heart was also happy. This Liu Biao's courage is too small, it is estimated that Ma Liang is too happy now, and it is estimated that he will have to come back crying after returning to Jingzhou.

Does Liu Biao dare to turn his face with the lord? The answer is yes, don't dare. Because Liu Biao's ambition has long been gone, now he just wants to be a happy man.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ye and Ma Liang talked about the current situation, and the two chatted more and more.

When the atmosphere between the two became stronger and stronger, Liu Ye felt that the time had come. couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know what Mr. thinks about the current situation in Runan?" ”

"Runan has a unique geographical advantage, no matter who wants Runan's power." Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

"Because of this, if you let Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Xun and others know, my heart is for Liu. I'm afraid it's going to be dealt with soon. If the princes raise an army, I have no backup in Runan, and I only rely on the land of the two counties, I am afraid that sooner or later the city will be destroyed and people will die. Liu Ye sighed and said.

Ma Liang is also a wise man, and he suddenly heard something in Liu Ye's words. couldn't help asking, "I don't know what Ziyang's decision is?" ”

The two had a very happy conversation just now, and they already called each other the words.

"When I first came out of the mountain, I wanted to move my family to live in Jingchu. Along the way, he was forced to be helpless, killed Zheng Bao, Liu Pi and others, and occupied Runan. Sitting on the hot potato, now I want to retreat bravely from the rapids and go to Jingchu. If Liu Jingzhou does not give up, he is willing to settle in Xinye with 400,000 people and guard the Jingzhou gateway for Liu Jingzhou. ”

Liu Ye said very sincerely.

400,000 people. Liu Biao's Jingzhou only has a population of about 2 million, and these 400,000 people are really a lot of wealth.

It's just that Liu Ye gave up Runan, which is a pity. But on the other hand, reason told Ma Liang that Liu Ye was right, if Liu Ye stayed in Runan for a long time, he would be destroyed by Liu Xun sooner or later.

During the period of conversation, Ma Liang had a good impression of Liu Ye, and even called each other names. Ma Liang is naturally also worried about Liu Ye's situation.

After pondering for a moment in his heart, Ma Liang raised his fist and said, "This time, Liu Jingzhou sent me to make friends with Ziyang, and I also came with the idea of what if. Now, this is just in case. Ziyang is willing to rush to Jingchu with 400,000 people, and I will make some efforts from it, I want to find the position of Xinye Taishou, it is not difficult. ”

Ma Liang felt that joy fell from the sky and obtained this unexpected joy, and Liu Biao should not mind whether there was any Runan or not.

"Thank you Ji Chang." Liu Ye said, but thought in his heart, Ma Jichang, Ma Jichang, you also overestimate your father-in-law, with his virtue, he will dare to take me in, and I will write it upside down.

"I hit it off with Ziyang, this is what I should do." Ma Liang waved his hand and said happily.

Because the big thing was done, both of them had a sense of relief in their hearts. Then Liu Ye held a banquet in the Taishou Mansion, invited Wei Yan and Liu Jie to sit with him, and drank with Ma Liang.

However, in the end, Ma Liang was anxious to return to Jingzhou because he wanted Liu Ye to beg for Xinye Taishou, so he left and left.

"This time the goal has been achieved one by one." After Ma Liang left, in the hall, Liu Ye knelt and sat and said to Wei Yan below.

"That's half the battle. The rest can only be left to God's will. Wei Yan sighed and said.

Now, though, it's all over. Just wait for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the promised baggage to arrive, and they can arm themselves openly. Although he already had Ma Liang as a striker, he went to Jingchu to seek an official. But with Liu Biao's virtue, it is estimated that most of them will not let themselves go to Xinye.

And he will firmly let himself stay in Runan and keep in touch with himself secretly. He may give himself heavy grain and grass and other things, and let himself fight against the lord's army alone. And he's certainly not going to send a single soldier. Even the relationship with himself will not be known to the world. He didn't want to be in the limelight, but Ma Liang overestimated Liu Biao's ambitions.

As for if Liu Biao really promised himself, let him go to Xinye. Liu Ye also has a way to deal with it. For example, the road is far away, you have to send heavy troops to protect me, otherwise you will leave the city without the benefit of the city wall, and you will be swallowed by Liu Xun and other reasons to prevaricate Liu Biao.

In a word, I was just joking with you Liu Biao, you actually took it seriously. It's okay to take it seriously, let me continue to stay in Runan as a shadow, that's fine. I really want me to come to Shinno. This is absolutely impossible, I Liu Ye has not completed the task of the main bus generation?

In short, no matter what, Liu Biao can't eat good fruits.
