Chapter 18: The Two Horses of Qichun City (continued)

Ma Chaoxin said, I'll wait for you Ma Liang to say it yourself, you can't say anything by yourself, so as soon as you say it here, you can continue to say it, or you can only say those words that don't have too much nutrition.

At this time, Ma Chao smiled, "I don't know how to form this alliance?" ”

Speaking of alliances, of course, it is definitely not an alliance with Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei. After all, they are an alliance between armies and armies, and what Ma Liang said must be the alliance between their family, that is, the Ma family in Yicheng, Nanjun, and his own Liangzhou army, this Ma Chao is still very clear in his heart.

After all, some things are not a big secret at all, at least Ma Chao already knew that the Kuai brothers had been to Xiangyang and met Cao Cao, and they had discussed something. And Cai Xun, the current head of the Cai family, has also seen Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and they have also united, so Ma Chao knows it.

But for the most specific things, then you can only listen to what Ma Liang says, after all, Ma Liang is prepared, since he wants to unite with himself, then he must have his own plans, isn't -

So therefore, Ma Chao asked such a sentence, after hearing Ma Chao's question, Ma Liang smiled, he asked Ma Chao rhetorically: "But I don't know how the general wants to form an alliance?" ”

Ma Chao said in his heart when he heard this, this Ma Liang is still young now, but he can really do things. Sophisticated enough, this doesn't look like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy at all, it's twenty-four or five. It's not that no one believes.

In fact, what Ma Chao thought was really right. Among the five brothers of the Ma family, Ma Liang should be said to be the one with the greatest ability. Assuming that Ma Tan can really restrain his character, he may be the most capable, but like him, it is really not very reassuring. The mature and steady Cheng dΓΉ can be said to be incomparable to his fourth brother Ma Liang. This is at least not comparable now, as for the future, then who knows.

So even the Ma brothers know that their fifth brother is good. But in comparison, it's still Ma Liang, who can do things and speak on their behalf.

Ma Chao said in his heart at this time, this should be what I asked you Ma Liang. Why did you push me back as it was?

However, Ma Chao deliberately didn't want to answer. But after thinking about it carefully, he knew that he still had to say a few words. Don't look at it before, I can be regarded as giving Ma Liang a good impression, but Ma Liang is not familiar with himself after all, this is true, so his words are definitely not untargeted, he may want to take a look. What to say yourself.

If you don't answer him, maybe you just let him look flat. So can you do it yourself?

If you want to say that Ma Chao is in his thirties, after the age of standing, although he is now competitive, he is indeed a little less, this is true. But it can't be said that there is nothing at all, and this is definitely not the case. Especially when he is younger than himself and is still a talent, as the lord of the Liangzhou Army and the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, can he retreat, obviously not-

So he smiled at Ma Liang at this time, and then said: "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, but I don't know what the Yicheng Ma family is doing?" ”

It is true that the Ma family is a scholar family, and Ma Chao also knows it, but no matter how big the family is, it is indispensable for the support of money and food. It can be said that the big families don't go into business, but the important people in their family don't manage these, and only the marginal people take care of them, but of course they must be confidants, this is inevitable.

Ma Chao didn't regard himself as an outsider, in his opinion, this is already going to be an alliance and a union, of course, just ask if there is anything. As for asking it, although it is a bit rude, after all, the big family, although it is necessary to have children to run some things, but if you take it out, it will still make them say that they don't like it.

However, Ma Liang is not an ordinary person after all, and he actually knows Ma Chao's intentions, so he knows in his heart that Ma Chao asked this because he didn't treat himself or him as an outsider, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken like this-

So Ma Liang said to Ma Chao at this time: "There are businessmen in the family, and the grain and grass are ...... Ear! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, the Ma family still has a lot of livelihood, of course, the main thing is grain and grass. After all, Jingzhou belongs to a large state that produces grain, which is true, and some states and counties, the grain and grass are much less, and now it is in troubled times, and the grain and grass are too expensive, so those who sell grain and grass must make a lot of money. However, the Ma family trafficked grain and grass in Jingzhou, which shows that the family is also the number one, or it would have to be swallowed up by someone long ago, and there would be no bones left.

At this time, Ma Chao knew, so when he talked to Ma Liang, he mainly talked about the issue of grain and grass. Although he has never lacked grain and grass, who can still think that there is more grain and grass, so Ma Chao knows that if the Ma family in Yicheng supports his own batch of grain and grass, then the battle in Jingzhou will definitely be more beneficial to his side.

And Ma Liang can be regarded as seeing that Ma Chao wants grain and grass, which is actually what he expected. After all, now that these are all troubled times, money is not as useful as in the peaceful period, and grain and grass are the most expensive in the troubled times, so he doesn't understand anything-

He understood what Ma Chao meant, so he took the initiative to give Ma Chao a batch of grain and grass to support the Liangzhou Army, which could be regarded as a condition for joining them.

And Ma Chao naturally readily agreed, where to find this good thing, could he not agree. As far as he is concerned, as long as it is beneficial and beneficial to his own side now, basically he will never disagree. The benefit of this door-to-door, Ma Chao will definitely not push it out, the key is that he also knows in his heart that Cao Cao's Yanzhou army has the support of the Kuai family, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun Liu alliance army also has the Cai family, that is, he has no one to support the Liangzhou army.

But now it's okay, the Liangzhou Army is not "grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love", it can be regarded as having a "home". Isn't that the case, this Yicheng Ma family is considered a "homecoming".

Of course, Ma Liang wants to form an alliance with Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army and unite, so naturally it is impossible to provide grain and grass alone, and there are many things, which are also promised to Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army-

If you want to say that the Yicheng Ma family can't be compared with the Lukui family in Jingzhou, but if you want to say that you want to take out some money, food and materials, there is really no problem at all. Let's just say that the money, food and materials that Ma Liang promised to give Ma Chao Liangzhou Army are a drop in the bucket of their Ma family, but it is not an exaggeration. That's the case, the background of these big families, indeed, not everyone can know, but Ma Chao still knows something, after all, he still has an intelligence network, and it is quite useful.

He knew in his heart that what Ma Liang took out was nothing more than a hair for his Yicheng Ma family. But you can't be too greedy, "people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants", and greed basically doesn't seem to have a good end.

Ma Chao also knows that he can't be too greedy, and sometimes, if you want to say that you are a little greedy, then forget it. But at this critical time, it is not at all. What you have to face now is a strong enemy among strong enemies, so you can't afford to make any big mistakes.

In fact, small mistakes should not be made, but people will inevitably make mistakes. "If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing", but "knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great"β€”β€”

In the end, Ma Chao and Ma Liang, the two horses reached an agreement, Ma Liang took out money, food and materials to support the Liangzhou army, and the two sides have stood together since then, which can be regarded as "one glory and one loss".

Ma Chao smiled at this time: "Since this matter has been negotiated, then I will gather all my subordinates and let's have a banquet together, how about it?" ”

Needless to say, it is the rules of the rivers and lakes, and it must be so. Of course, Ma Liang understood, so he smiled, "Naturally, 'it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate'!" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed. The negotiation has already been negotiated, and after that, it is relaxed, and it is all for their own interests before, although it is not saber-rattling, but it can be regarded as a sword of words. But don't look at Ma Chao's ability is good, and he is much older than Ma Liang, but in matters like negotiation, he is really, not as good as Ma Liang, a fifteen-year-old boy-
