Ma Chao knew that the Fufeng Ma family that Yuan Kui was talking about did not refer to Ma Teng and Ma Chao's family, but to the former relatives of Ma Rong's family. Ma Teng, Ma Chao and Ma Rong are both descendants of General Fubo Ma Yuan, but Ma Rong is closer in blood and is the grandson of Ma Yuan; Ma Teng Ma Chao's bloodline is more distant and is a distant branch. In the Battle of Fufeng, Ma Rong's descendants also strongly supported Huangfu Song and became enemies of Ma Teng and Ma Chao's family. Therefore, Ma Chao simply even raided the Ma Rong family, so that there is no more suitable person in the world than Ma Teng and Ma Chao to live by himself with Ma Teng's descendants.

Yuan Kui continued: "The Kanto family is different, like the Fufeng Ma clan and the Hongnong Yang clan, there are several families in almost every county. Taiyuan has the Wang family, Hedong has the Wei family and the Pei family, Qinghe has the Cui family, Hanoi has the Sima family, Jiangdong has the Gu Lu Zhu Zhang Si family, Lujiang has the Lu family and the Qiao family, Yanzhou has the Wei family and the Bao family, Qingzhou has the Kong family, Xuzhou has the Cao family and the Chen family, Jingzhou has the Kuai family and the Cai family, and Jiaozhou has the Shi family. And Yuzhou, which is in the middle of the world, is not to mention, Yingchuan County alone has gathered top wealthy families such as Xun, Xu, Zhong, Yu, and Chen. Just one of the Xun clans, there are eight outstanding children, and the world is called 'Xun Bada'. ”

Ma Chao silently remembered these families and kept them in his heart, because these families would be his strong enemies in the future.

Yuan Kui continued: "These powerful families more or less have people who serve as eunuchs in the imperial court. Around these families, there are also numerous families and clans that are slightly lower than them, becoming their wings. In addition, there are more powerful families distributed all over the world. All the families are powerful, some occupy thousands of hectares, and some occupy dozens of hectares. They have vain vacancies, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds; In the powerful family, all of them are mountains of gold and silver, and the treasury is full of brocade. In short, the strength of the Kanto family is far from being comparable to that of the Kansai family. Although Ma Qing can destroy the Kansai family, if he wants to deal with us Kanto families in the same way, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky and killing himself. ”

Hearing Yuan Kui's threat, Ma Chao understood, it turned out that even the Kanto family would be afraid of his military might. The old foxes of the Kwantung family, who are bent on seeking stability, are really as powerful as Yuan Kui said, but for the sake of insurance, they still want to befriend him with heavy troops, and even win him over. And the reason why Yuan Kui said threatening words was just a bluff to force him to make friends with the Kanto family, not to make enemies.

Since the Kanto family has the will to win over him, Ma Chao decided to simply plan and show weakness to the Kanto family for the time being. Even if he can't deceive the support of the Kanto family, he can still get the Kanto family not to interfere with his actions to fight for power.

Ma Chao said: "What Yuan Gong said is indeed the truth. Perhaps Yuan Gong and all the heroes in the East have misunderstood, and the reason why Zai Xia vigorously attacked the family heroes in Liangzhou and Guanzhong was for other purposes, not because he was born with hatred for the family heroes. After all, in the final analysis, isn't he also a wealthy family from Fufeng Ma's family? ”

Hearing that Ma Chao hurriedly excused his act of slaughtering the Kansai family, Yuan Kui was very satisfied. It seems that his intimidation really worked, so that this general, who even dared to refuse the ten permanent attendants, had to give in.

Yuan Kui smiled and asked, "What is the reason for the untried?" ”

Ma Chao said: "The reason for attacking the Liangzhou family is because these families have many tribes, and it is they who support Beigong Boyu and Han Sui and others to rebel. If they are not destroyed, then sooner or later there will be a second Han Sui in Liangzhou. destroyed the family in Liangzhou, just to get their fields and manors. Considering that the strength of the Ma clan was too weak, he implemented the equalization system, and the fields were not allowed to be bought and sold, and the ownership belonged to the Thorn Shi Mansion. And Thorn Shi is my father, so the fields in Liangzhou are also the things in my Fufeng Ma's bag.

And the reason why the Guanzhong family was wiped out, Yuan Gong also knew that Liangzhou was extremely short of grain and grass at that time, and if he didn't want to try to raise military rations in Xia, then there would be no official position of Guangluxun in Xia now. It's just that those families of Guanzhong Sanfu have abundant grain. Fortunately, they took refuge in Huangfu Song, the general of the left chariot cavalry, and became enemies below. At that time, he was also confused, so he swept them away. ”

After listening to Ma Chao's explanation, Yuan Kui understood that Ma Chao was only forced by the special situation at that time to kill the family in Kansai. If you don't kill them, then Ma Teng and Ma Chao won't be able to go today. And the Juntian system, which is most feared by the powerful people of the family, is just that the Fufeng Ma clan covered up the intention of Ma Teng and Ma Chao's father and son to privately annex the land in the name of Juntian. And Yuan Kui could hear that Ma Chao had tactfully expressed a certain amount of submission to him and the Kwantung family he represented.

Yuan Kui was greatly satisfied, and said with a smile: "The old man understands, on the surface, the Fufeng Ma clan is a loyal minister of the Han family, Liangzhou is still the royal land, and the Xiliang army is still an official army. But in fact, the Fufeng Ma clan controls the sixteen counties of Liangzhou, and the sixteen counties of Liangzhou are the manors and fields of the Fufeng Ma clan, and the millions of Liangzhou people are the disciples of the Fufeng Ma clan, and tens of thousands of Western Liang troops are the soldiers of the Fufeng Ma clan! It turns out that the Fufeng Ma family, represented by Ma Liangzhou and Ma Qing's father and son, is the most powerful family in the world! ”

Vain attached, that is, forced to attach to the powerful family, become the tenants, slaves, and soldiers of the powerful family.

Hearing Yuan Kui say this, Ma Chao was very happy in his heart, it seems that Yuan Kui really believed his words, believed that he was forced to attack the Kansai family because of the situation, and also believed that the implementation of the Juntian system was just an excuse for the Fufeng Ma family to occupy the fields of the whole Liangzhou. As long as Yuan Kui let down his guard, then things will be easy to do.

Ma Chao hurriedly said humbly: "Fufeng Ma is still a small family, how can it be compared with Yuan Gong's Runan Yuan family?" ”

Yuan Kui smiled and said: "Since Ma Qing really does not hate the family, and Ma Qing also thinks that he is a member of the family, then the old man should also talk about it." Is Ma Qing willing to make friends with the old man and support each other in the court? ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't expect that his few words and a few words of light and soft convincing had already dissolved Yuan Kui's wariness of him. However, Ma Chao thought about it, this is normal, after all, it was Yuan Kui who took the initiative to come to the door on behalf of the Kanto family and wanted to win him over, so of course they had already acquiesced in their hearts to the prediction that Ma Chao would most likely be friendly with the family. This is the reason why Yuan Kui let down his guard so easily, and even directly wooed him.

Ma Chao immediately calculated the plan, pretended to be difficult first, and wanted to talk back.
