[Three Kingdoms] Small people's plan

Several people pleaded guilty and sat down. The servants in the mansion brought tea and wine, but the yellow gate stopped them outside. After checking, they took their hands and brought them in.

Liu Xie was afraid that this general would not be used to the palace, but Ma Teng was sitting respectfully, looking at the ground, Ma Chao and Ma Xiu were the same as their father, only Ma Dai stared at Huang Huang with curious eyes. Door.

Ma Teng coughed dryly, bowed to Liu Xie, and then scolded a few juniors in a low voice: "What a shame to be naked, go down and put on your clothes before coming back!"

Liu Xie's heart moved, and he opened his mouth and said: "No need, I'm tired of talking about the etiquette in the hall. The old general's tiger skin is a cushion here, which is very comfortable. I am so comfortable, but it's not beautiful to ask you to tie your hands and feet. ? Let’s all be more comfortable! If you’re not in the hall, it’s like a gathering of friends, come as you please.”

Ma Teng and the three younger ones looked up and saw that the emperor sitting on top was leaning against the tiger skin, looking very contented. Suddenly, their expressions softened involuntarily.

The men from the Ma family are used to being rude and rash. Although they have met the young emperor when they came, there are many people and steps between them. Every time they do not make mistakes in the red tape, they are always cautious, for fear of attracting officials. Impeachment is considered to recognize Liu Xie, but it is too one-sided.

Protected by all the officials of the big Han, such a young man who is weak, and his family's life is in the hands of such a man who knows no joy or anger, it really doesn't feel better.

I never thought that it was similar to the younger generation of the Ma family. Seeing that the tiger skin was comfortable, I wanted to roll around.

Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai would often roll on the tiger skin when Ma Teng was not around. At this time, seeing Liu Xiewo's mouth curled up, they felt close.

Ma Teng thought about it a bit more, seeing that the emperor didn't mind the racks of glowing red weapons in the hall at all, and he loved his stinky tiger skin cushions very much, his previous impression disappeared.

Liu Xie doesn't like tiger skin, he was feeling uncomfortable all over, and said with a smile: "It's already night, and I'm still practicing hard and refusing to slack off. If I were older, I would praise them for being awesome!" You are all older than me, so what to guard against ?

After saying this, Ma Teng said with a smile: "Since the emperor has spoken, let them go for a while. I have Liangzhou spirits here. I heard from Marquis Wen that the emperor can drink Liangzhou spirits. I don't know if the emperor likes this wine." ?”

Liu Xie clapped his hands and laughed: "It's been a long time since I've had a drink, bring it here quickly!"

The young and the old in the Ma family looked at each other and were overjoyed. Ma Chao hurriedly asked the servants outside to carry the wine.

When talking to literati, first retreat three feet to make room for distance, and then say some beautiful words to appear more knowledgeable, explore once, secondly and thirdly, figure out each other's hobbies, lead the topic to that side, and only then can you get close.

Generals are different, like or dislike, most of the time it will be decided at the opening.

The Ma family drinks with lacquer-eared cups, not bottles—those who like to drink heavily usually drink with this kind of thing.

After a drink, Liu Xie and Ma Teng were talking, and Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai dared to intervene from time to time. Seeing that Ma Teng usually didn't restrain them too much, seeing that Liu Xie didn't mind, Ma Teng didn't go again He scolded a few juniors.

Needless to say, the defense has been withdrawn.

Liu Xie said: "Dong Zhuo once gave me a bloody horse. Later, Marquis Wen took it to battle, and Zhongliu died. It's a pity!"

Ma Chao let out a "huh", quickly swallowed the wine in his mouth, and hurriedly said, "I haven't seen that horse for a few years! That dawan horse in Dawan is the best!"

Matthew said: "A good breed of horse requires a place. Mengzhou is very suitable for raising horses. Look at me! Mengzhou is like a racecourse for my big man! If we can open the Silk Road again and get bloody horses, it will be a great place in Mengzhou." It would be beautiful if Zhou had more births!"

Ma Dai said: "There are a few Dawanliang horses among the horses I brought, but they are a little smaller. If they are properly bred in two years, they will not necessarily be worse than sweat-blooded horses in the future!"

Ma Chao despises: "Go away! Have you ever seen a bloody horse? If you haven't seen one, you're just bragging about it!"

Ma Dai retorted: "I haven't seen it either! What can I do!?"

Ma Teng let out an "uh hum" before the three juniors reacted and shouted again.

After a glass of wine, the emperor in the seat was about to overlap with the concept of "younger brother". When Ma Teng reminded him, he suddenly remembered that it was not a younger brother, but the emperor, and he was stunned.

Liu Xie smiled gently and said: "The bloody sweat horse is really good. Although I have used it for a short time, I am deeply impressed. Compared with Wen Hou's Chitu, he is not too shy. Ma Xiu said reopening the Silk Road, so good. Eyesight! Right now the big man has a racecourse in Mengzhou, but no horse breeds. Mengzhou horses... are still inferior. I drank happily and almost forgot. I came here just to ask Qing, etc., you live in Liangzhou for generations. , how is the situation of the foreign race over there? Is there any possibility of reopening the Silk Road?"

Ma Teng said: "I thought the emperor was here to ask about the forces of the Xianbei and Xiongnu coalition forces, but I didn't expect...the emperor has such great ambitions!"

Liu Xie smiled——The Han Dynasty was the most pioneering dynasty of the Han nationality in Chinese history. The Han Dynasty beat the Huns to move westward. The Huns left their homeland to find a new place to live. The Huns moved westward again, so the western Germanic peoples were beaten by the raging Huns. Regardless of the threat of the Roman Empire, they forcibly crossed the Danube River. In the end, the Roman Empire overthrew and the feudal system in Western Europe began.

This is like dominoes. The Han Dynasty once stood in the strongest position, but was exhausted by internal troubles, causing future generations to be bullied by great powers.

It took Cao Pi two years to clean up the Xianbei people to only the remnants. The gradually expanding territory of the Xianbei people became the territory of Liu Xie. Liu Xie is not worried about this invasion. Neither Cao Pi nor his men are easy to provoke!It's just that he has to think about whether the Roman Empire in the west will perish without the dominoes promoted by the Xianbei people?If it does not perish, the two empires will collide directly on the Silk Road sooner or later, which is not good news.

When in Jiangling, Chen Gong, Xun Yu and Guo Jia suggested setting up external enemies in order to unite the internal forces.

Although Liu Xie was useless, he knew that this suggestion was very, very good!

The people of the country are full of energy, without external enemies, they will fight internally, so... what if there are always external enemies?

The Han people have a characteristic, the more frustrated they become, the more courageous they become, and the more they fight, the stronger they become. They perish in comfort and thrive in oppression!

Liu Xie wanted to try, using the ingenuity of a few good ministers as a national policy, to press externally and promote the Han industry.

How nice it is to send all the belligerent elements of the courtiers abroad!

Naturally, Liu Xie didn't need to tell Ma Teng these thoughts.

Cao Pi had beheaded the Xianbei, Karasuma, and Huns captives in several battles. According to his habit, if he wins this time, the remaining Huns and Xianbei will be wiped out, and Rome will not be in trouble.

Unifying Europe under the Roman Empire is difficult. Before Europe was divided into various principalities, they were all ants, and they were all dead things when they were pinched. If people are driven into the Roman Empire, they had better be driven out quickly.

If it can be done, the next generation may go to the West to pick up leaks or something, and then come back to build a Dahan Museum.

The words went too far, Liu Xie said: "I have read the old general's report, and I am willing to serve under the command of the Zhenbei general. I really admire the old general, regardless of family feuds, and beg to be loyal to the country... so dedicated to his duties, he is still willing to serve as a big man at this age Constructing meritorious deeds again..."

When Ma Teng heard this, he understood that Liu Xie knew about Ma Tie's death at the hands of Lv Bu and Cao Pi. He was nervous for a moment, fearing that Liu Xie would think that he was going to pick up the plane for revenge, so he kowtowed in a kneeling position on one side of his body.

But Liu Xie didn't get entangled in personal grudges, and said eloquently: "I know that the horse leather shroud is the long-cherished wish of a veteran on the battlefield to serve the country, and the same is true for Aiqing, but Aiqing!"

Ma Teng didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty, and the old minister is listening."

Ma Teng was very disturbed. Cao Pi made him kill his sworn brother Han Sui with his own hands, and he had a vengeance against his son. It should have been the same situation, but seeing that Liu Xie took over Cao Cao, the imperial court became more powerful. If he didn't come and submit In the end, everyone must be betrayed, and even if they die, they will bear the fate of being a traitor, so they made up their minds to give up Liangzhou and come to Xudu, at least to save the life and wealth of the family.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu and Cao Pi were very favored in front of the emperor. Even if he dared not think about revenge, there was no guarantee that the two would not count on him.

This matter has been lingering in his throat, making Ma Teng restless.

Lu Bu was straightforward, Ma Teng wanted to make friends, and the personal enmity was quickly resolved, but Cao Pi... Firstly, he had no chance, and secondly, he was not sure what kind of person Cao Pi was.

This time when the war started in Liangzhou, Ma Teng knew that the opportunity had come, so he immediately asked for help in the battle. Unexpectedly, this memorandum attracted the emperor to his home. When he concluded that Cao Pi must not be messed with, Ma Teng became more and more worried.

I only heard Liu Xie say: "You have guarded Liangzhou for many years, and you are familiar with the Qiang and Di ethnic groups in Liangzhou. I don't want you to die in battle. I still want you to open the Silk Road for me. It's hard work."

Although Ma Teng is a martial artist, he is called an old fox by Cao Cao, which shows that he is not very stupid.

As soon as Liu Xie finished speaking, Ma Teng immediately understood that Liu Xie just wanted Cao Pi to deal with the Xianbei and the Huns. When these two tribes were settled down, Liangzhou still wanted him to rule, and he wanted to reopen the Silk Road, promote trade, and It's not that Liangzhou is regarded as a frontier wasteland, but high hopes are placed on it!

Ma Teng didn't expect Liu Huihui to treat him like this at all, he was too surprised, and choked up emotionally: "Your Majesty..." He was also one of the most powerful people in the struggle for hegemony. trust?

If you miss such an opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life!

"I do have contacts with the Qiang Di and other clans. Your Majesty, I promise that there is no need for soldiers. You only need to go to Liangzhou alone to persuade the Qiang Di to outflank the Xianbei Huns. No matter how brave they are, they can only return in defeat! That's it! If I don’t go to battle, the imperial court can save soldiers, horses, food and grass, I ask the emperor to allow me to go alone, in only three months, I will help Marquis Wuwei relieve Liangzhou’s troubles!"

Liu Xie wanted to get Ma Teng's concerns, but he didn't expect that his two words would be so useful!Seeing water droplets falling on the floor, he was faintly surprised that Ma Teng was actually a loyal minister!

In other words, this one-night meeting turned Ma Teng into a loyal minister.

Before Liu Xie came, he wanted to use the relationship between Ma Teng and various ethnic groups in Liangzhou to expel the Xianbei and Huns to the west!But Lu Bu and Cao Pi killed Ma Tie, and Cao Pi tricked Ma Teng to kill Han Sui himself. What if Ma Teng went, and Cao Pi was tricked?

Now it's all right, Ma Teng himself promised that Liu Xie's goal was achieved, and he pushed the boat along: "Aiqing, since you are so sure, I believe you, and I will issue an edict to let you go to Liangzhou tomorrow morning, but please remember, you must Take care! In the future, I will still rely on you, so don't take risks lightly."

Ma Teng shed a few more tears, said with a heaving back, "Chen, remember!"

After Liu Xie left, Ma Chao was unwilling to follow Ma Teng, but was rejected by Ma Teng: Putting his eldest son Ma Chao in Xudu was his answer to the emperor's trust.

Angrily, Ma Chao got down and pulled out the "Linyuan" sword, and chopped up a bunch of utensils, helpless.
