Chapter 12: The Brothers' Conspiracy (End)
And his fourth brother is about to make a move now, but while he is happy in his heart, he also wants to know how his fourth brother thinks and whether it is the same as what he thinks.
In this regard, although Ma Jian thought in his heart that the two brothers should have similar ideas, his fourth brother had never told him about it, so he was bottomless at this time. How to say it, even if he thinks that he still understands his fourth brother, he doesn't dare to say that the four of them are what they think.
However, although he was indeed anxious to know what Ma Liang thought, Ma Jian did not show anything in front of his fourth brother. Don't look at Ma Jian is only twelve years old this year, but he is definitely a relatively mature teenager, this is certain and certain.
But Ma Tan knew that he still had to talk and ask questions, so he heard him ask, "I don't know who the fourth brother wants to unite?" ”――
As soon as Ma Liang heard what his little brother asked, he smiled and said directly to Ma Yan: "Didn't the little brother always know what the fourth brother thought, I don't know if I can know what the fourth brother thinks at this time?" ”
Ma Tan smiled slightly, "The fourth brother's words made the younger brother not know how to say it, the fourth brother's thoughts, only the fourth brother knows best, as for the younger brother, it can only be said that he is going to make a bold guess, but he is not sure what the fourth brother thinks!" ”
Ma Jian said: "So according to the younger brother, what does the fourth brother think? ”
Ma Jian shook his head. "Fourth brother, the younger brother really can't guess, so the fourth brother will make it clear at this time!"
Ma Liang listened to Ma Yan's words. He said in his heart at this time, this kid is a little different at this time, could it be that he has changed sex? But how could this be! Ma Liang is a very capable person after all, so he only thought about it a little and understood Ma Yan's thoughts. And at this time, he had to admit that his little brother, even if his shortcomings were obvious. That's good, but he won't ignore the feelings between his brothers at all.
At least Ma Liang is very clear at this time, for his little brother. The most important thing for him now is the relationship between brothers, and the rest is not important.
And this is also very gratifying in Ma Liang's heart. My little brother can think like this. As a brother, of course, he won't be unhappy.
Seeing that Ma Jian didn't say anything, Ma Liang didn't mean to force him, after all, what did his little brother think, and he believed that he could guess eight/nine. In fact, don't look at the Kuai family and the Cai family, they have already made a move, much earlier than their own family. But it is true that it is advantageous in advance, but what is the premise of this, that is, Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army and his Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande's Sun Liu coalition army must achieve the final victory in the Jingzhou battle. Plainly. It is because they occupy a big interest in Jingzhou.
In this way, the Kuai family and the Cai family can guarantee the benefits they receive. But if Ma Mengqi Liangzhou's army captures Jingzhou, or let them occupy most of Jingzhou's territory, then obviously, the Kuai family and the Cai family will not take advantage of it. So now my choice can be said to be very clear-
Ma Liang's thoughts are the same as Ma Yan's, he also chose Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army, as for the reasons, there are really too many.
It's not just that it's different from what the Kuai family and the Cai family have chosen, but there are many, many reasons. For example, the comparison of the strength of all parties, and some columns of analysis, in the end, who can laugh the happiest and laugh last. Anyway, in the final analysis, it is the interests, that is, for the interests of his family, Ma Liang made the final choice.
At this time, he said to Ma Yan: "Little brother, I can't hide it, my brother's idea is to go to Jiangxia and unite with Ma Mengqi, I don't know what you think?" ”
When Ma Tan heard this, he said in his heart that it was really the case, it was really "the same thing that heroes see". Or the two of us are brothers, you are my fourth brother, I am your fifth brother, don't we even have the same thoughts.
"The fourth brother really thinks so, this is the same as the younger brother!" ――
And Ma Liang smiled, and he knew that his little brother had such an idea.
So he said: "Okay, sure enough, you and my brother are all of the same idea, it seems that this matter is promising!" ”
Ma Jian said: "No, the fourth brother's words are very true, I don't know why the fourth brother chose this way?" You must know that now whether it is Cao Mengde, Sun Bofu, or Liu Xuande, they are united, but they will not let anyone in the world look down on them! ”
Ma Liang smiled when he heard this, and then said to Ma Yan: "Little brother is asking knowingly, does it mean that little brother still doesn't understand this?" ”
Ma Tan heard this, and then the two looked at each other and laughed, isn't it, those are just superficial phenomena, to say that the people and horses who are united, although the Yanzhou army and the Sun-Liu coalition army are still different, but after all, they are not united, and they want to attack together. So there must be a problem with this, and maybe there will be a lot of it. So it seems to be advantageous and advantageous, but there are a lot of hidden problems, if it can be solved well, then of course it is a good thing, but if it is the other way around, it will be a big / trouble.
So this is indeed a test for Cao Cao and the three of them, of course, there are some things, it doesn't mean that they will definitely do what they want, this is for sure-
Ma Jian is really much more relieved this time, after all, his fourth brother is the same as what he thinks, so won't his worries be dispelled. He really didn't want to be like his fourth brother because of this, he definitely wouldn't do it.
But to be honest, if there is a disagreement or something, if you let yourself say nothing, it is definitely not your own character. So even if there is a disagreement, he will say some of his thoughts, but he will never convince his fourth brother that he must do what he says, which is definitely not the case.
Ma Tan asked at this time: "I don't know what the fourth brother plans now, how to implement it?" ”
Ma Liang smiled, "Naturally, I want to go to Jiangxia for a trip, but now the three elder brothers have not returned, so the big and small affairs of the family are going to trouble the fifth brother to take care of them!" ”
When Ma Tan heard this, he said in his heart that this was indeed the case. To tell the truth, how much he wanted to say it, and follow it himself. But I really can't say this, don't say anything else, as soon as my fourth brother leaves, who will be in charge of the affairs of the family, and I will definitely not be able to leave again-
To say that Ma Yan's heart is indeed a little unbalanced at this time, this is for sure. However, he didn't understand his fourth brother at all, how to say it, although he also thought that staying in Yicheng could be said to be overkill. That's it, although there are a lot of trivial things at home, but which one thing can stump you, there is never any challenge. If you want to be yourself, I still hope to go to Jiangxia, to meet Ma Mengqi and those civil and military generals under his account, and see who they are.
However, I also understand what my fourth brother means, if you want to go to Jiangxia, in fact, it is enough to have your own fourth brother. If you add yourself, it's just the icing on the cake, that's it. But at this time, Yicheng's family is indispensable to sit in the town, so he must stay alone. Then the three elder brothers have not come back, and the fourth brother is leaving again, so if he is not left to take care of the house, who else can he be.
So although Ma Jian is a little unwilling in his heart, this is true, but he really doesn't mean that he can't see it. For him, the opportunity is not just a once, and then there will be no more, it is certainly impossible. It's just that now my fourth brother is out of the horse, and in the future, there will be a time for me to go out on my own, isn't it?
Ma Jian replied: "In this way, according to the words of the fourth brother, all the affairs of the family are wrapped up in the younger brother, and the fourth brother can rest assured!" ”
Ma Liang looked at Ma Yan's attitude, of course he also knew some of his little brother's thoughts, but he was also very happy to see him change so quickly.
So at this time, he said: "Okay, there is a fifth brother here, of course I am relieved to be a brother!" Hahaha! ”
Don't you know your little brother's ability, those things at home are really a piece of cake for him, that's it, what's the big deal. And as long as he is there, he can say that he can rest assured of everything, or that, in some ways, he has four brothers, but he is not as good as this little brother, this is not wrong at all.
Ma Tan nodded, then raised his head with his chest straight, and looked at his fourth brother, which means that it will be handed over to me as soon as it is qiē, and there is no problem with anything. (To be continued......)
