Since he knew that Kou Qianzhi had such thoughts, Ma Fan knew that he might not be able to retain this respectable master of the Transformation Period, but Ma Fan still wanted to use the historical knowledge he knew to help this senior, so he asked, "Which prince do you always plan to take refuge in?"

Kou Qianzhi said: "Like the princes today, I have only heard rumors, I have never met anyone, and I don't know who is better, so the old man is still hesitating who to take refuge into." ”

Ma Fan said: "There are dozens of princes in the world, and it is impossible for you to go to see them one by one, or even work under them for a period of time and then compare, if this is the case, I am afraid that the opportunity will be gone, and after you compare it, then turn around and go back, will people still want you?"

Therefore, I suggest that you are old, since you have such an intention, you should rely on those rumors, have an intention in your heart, and target one or a few princes. ”

Kou Qianzhi said: "What you say is reasonable, to be honest, among the princes of the world, I think most of Haode is still Yuan Shao of Hebei, this person is the fourth and third dukes, and there are many old officials; ”

Ma Fan immediately smiled when he heard this: "Yuan Shao is very timid, scheming and indecisive; he does big things and spares his life, and forgets his life when he sees small profits, and he is not a person who does big things at all."

And although he relied on his family to gather a large number of talents to assist, but he was not good at using people, and he couldn't listen to persuasion, many talents were not really reused, but some incompetent people got high positions under him, and what was even more fatal was that the civil and military infighting under him was fierce.

Such people. I don't think it's possible to dominate the world in the future.

From the monk's point of view, you said it too. He already has the support of dozens of sects such as the Changbai faction and the Hengshui faction, how can he look down on these people you and your old men?

If you are not reused, you can only help others do some chores when you go to seek refuge from afar, and finally get some meager credit. What's the point?

If you can always trust me, if you want to gamble, gamble bigger, Yuan Shao don't think about it, let's think about other princes!"

After listening to Ma Fan's words. Kou Qianzhi couldn't help but be a little silent, and after thinking for a moment, he let out a long breath and said: "Even if you have been persuaded by your kid, then what do you think of Huainan Yuanshu, who is also from the Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes." And it's also a sister-in-law. The appeal is also very strong, and now he has enough food and food in his hands, and there are many talents, and Shili is also before the exam among the princes.

However, for some reason, most of the sects seemed to look down on him, and now they only heard that the Huanglong Sect and some small sects supported him.

Although the Huanglong faction is the Taoist system of the Huanglong Zhenren, there has never been any too outstanding talents in the sect and there is no powerful magic weapon to suppress luck, and because the Taoist system passed down by the Huanglong Zhenren is not even, so now it is not even a big faction, shili is a little worse than my Wudou Mi Sect, even if the old Taoist only takes some of the people in the sect to go, it is not much worse than the Huanglong faction, and it is much stronger than the rest of the small sects, and it must be able to be reused.

Do you think I'm going to assist Yuan Shu?"

Ma Fan smiled: "Hahaha." Why don't you understand why those big factions in power are thieves and thieves. If this Yuan Shu is really someone who can be assisted, even if it is only slightly worse than the rest of the princes. With his family, I am afraid that the sect that wants to assist him has already broken through, where can only a sect like Huanglongmen help him support the façade.

I heard that when the alliance of princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he was jealous of Sun Jian, afraid that Sun Jian had made a great contribution, so he did not give Sun Jian grain and grass, and severely plucked Sun Jian, and then shifted the responsibility to the grain supervisor and beheaded the grain supervisor with his own hands. ...,

How can such a person be regarded as a master with such a heart and heart, and I heard that this person is still greedy and cheap, and there are few people under him who are available, if such a person can win the world, unless the princes of the world are like pigs.

I don't think this person will be broken in a few years, how can I help?"

Kou Qianzhi didn't think much about it this time, so he replied: "You kid sees things but still understands things, the old Taoist is convinced, since you have such insight but still come to Hanzhong, do you think Haode is Zhang Lu?"

Ma Fan said with a smile: "I don't have the heart to create a strong sect, so I don't have to take refuge in the future master, I came here really as I told him, this place is the most suitable for me at present, after all, only what suits me is the most haode."

But aside from the rest, just talking about himself, I think that Brother Zhang Lu is much stronger than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and even many princes, and the geographical location of Hanzhong is also good, and he has won the hearts of the people, if we can quickly pacify Xichuan Liu Zhang, but it may not be without a chance.

Of course, he doesn't have much chance, and it is a little difficult for Hanzhong to defeat Xichuan like this now, let alone quickly defeat Liu Zhang and the Shushan faction. ”

Kou Qianzhi nodded and said, "Well, what do you think of Liu Biao?"

This person is a relative of the Han family, and he has some residual luck of the Han Dynasty, and he is also extraordinary, and his subordinates have also gathered some talents.

Now he is sitting in Jingzhou, there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, because he has not experienced the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, he can rank in the forefront of the country in terms of wealth, and it can be said that the soldiers are full of food.

And he just destroyed Sun Jian, there is no opponent in the southeast, once he takes the southeast, he can attack and retreat, and he is much stronger than the rest of the princes.

What he lacks now is just because of the division of power among several major families in the territory, most of the generals are people from major families, and some real talents in the territory are not allowed to be reused, and there is a lack of support from a real big faction!

But now his prestige is getting heavier and heavier, the major families in Jingzhou can no longer contain him, those really talented people in Jingzhou are afraid that they will soon be used, Jingzhou is clean and spiritual, there are many outstanding talents and sects, and in recent years, he has escaped from the north a lot, as long as he laughs at these, no prince can compare with him in terms of talent.

As for the transformation of the big faction, Lumen in Jingzhou is the two major Confucian sects with the same name as Yingchuan Academy.

If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu don't succeed. I think he will be the one who will win the world in the future, and I will take advantage of the time when Lumen has not yet fully thrown himself into it. You haven't lost the lead, right?"

Ma Fan shook his head and said: "In my opinion, Liu Biao is just an empty name, he only likes some people who dance and write and chew words, although there are many talents in Jingzhou, but he will definitely not be reused, and he is older." The spirit has been lost, and there is no enterprising spirit, but he can just waste a lot of resources in Jingzhou in vain. ”

Kou Qianzhi said: "Having said that, I still feel that although the above three princes have their own shortcomings, they have taken the lead and the general trend, and most of the rest of the princes in the world are mediocre people. Even though there are a few capable ones. is also because shili is too small, and he has lost shili is too small, even if he is talented, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with these three princes for the world. ”

Ma Fan smiled and said: "Haha, it seems that you have already planned in your heart, that is, you are optimistic about these three princes."

But I think it's just the beginning of chaos and anything is possible. Maybe the real future lord of the world has not yet emerged, so who can really win the world in the future cannot be judged by the current strength, but must look at the person. ...,

Those who can win the world must be those who have great ambitions, good plans, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow the heavens and the earth. He can also be courteous and virtuous, and make good use of talents. ”

Kou Qianzhi asked with some surprise: "Among the princes today." Is there such a person?"

Ma Fan said: "Yes, I have seen two. One is Cao Cao and the other is Liu Bei. ”

Kou Qianzhi took a deep breath and said: "I have also heard of these two people, that Cao Cao is just a eunuch, and Liu Bei is even more born to sell straw shoes, with such a background, he can gather ordinary talents around him and become a prince, but Cao Cao is only in charge of one county now, and Liu Bei is only one county, is it really possible for such a person to seize the world?"

Ma Fan said: "I can't say, but I'm just optimistic about these two people, my opinion is just for your old reference, if you always feel that it is not available, you can go to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao." ”

Kou Qianzhi thought for a while and said: "Well, when Chen Sheng and Wu were powerful, Han Gaozu was just a pavilion chief, and Xiang Yu was just a child of a family in Jiangdong, but then the world was fought by the two of them, and it fell into the hands of Liu Bang.

Oh, by the way, it is rumored that the Baiyun Sect has long supported Cao Cao, and the Yin Yang Sect has strongly supported Liu Bei, and even these two sects have chosen them, which can explain some problems.

Since the old man gambled, he will bet again, and bet that he believes in your boy's vision. Then can you help me take a look again, among these two, which one of them is more reliable for me to seek refuge in?" Hearing this old man say this, Ma Fan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, in the future, the world will definitely be Cao Cao and Liu Bei fighting, but it is not easy to decide which of these two people to choose.

Ma Fan said secretly: "In the future, Xichuan and Hanzhong will be obtained by Liu Bei, and the Shili of the Wudou Mi Sect is now on Liu Bei's territory, and there are not as many people available as Cao Cao around Liu Bei, and the current strength of the Yin and Yang Sect's support for Liu Bei is not as strong as the support of the Baiyun Sect for Cao Cao, and if he takes refuge in Liu Bei's hands, he will definitely be more reused, so it seems that it is better to choose Liu Bei."

However, Liu Bei has been constantly failing and running away for a long time, even if he has this old man to bring people to help, he will definitely not be able to do Cao Cao all of a sudden. In the process of Liu Bei's escape, even his brothers, wives and even children can be discarded, I am afraid there is nothing that cannot be given up, if this old man takes someone to join Liu Bei at this time, sooner or later he will become cannon fodder. ”

Thinking of this, Ma Fan said firmly: "Choose Cao Cao! Cao Cao can be regarded as stable at present, as long as he develops steadily, he is more reliable than Liu Bei."

Moreover, the Baiyun Sect has suffered a heavy setback in Luoyang City, and has suffered a lot of losses, so it takes time to breathe a sigh of relief, and Cao Cao needs support from all sides the most at this time, you will definitely be able to make up for this part of the vacancy in the past, and you will definitely be able to reuse.

In addition, Cao Cao is now in Yanzhou, if the development goes smoothly in the future, it will definitely expand the scope of Shili to the Luoyang generation in Chang'an in a few years, and the Wudou Mi Sect in this area already has some foundation, and the help to Cao Cao is also greater, and when Cao Cao really gets this place, it will be easier to develop the congregation, and this piece can be connected with the Wudou Mi Sect in Hanzhong after it is developed, which is also conducive to the future development of the Wudou Mi Sect. ”

Kou Qianzhi said with a smile: "Even if your kid asked me to choose Cao Cao, although Cao Cao is a eunuch, but he also has the support of the Xiahou family and the Cao family. And that Liu Bei now has nothing but a meager reputation, and I really don't have confidence in him. ”
