Chapter 627: Who Understands Ma Chao?
"If you don't want to be drowned by huge waves, you must first learn to swim and make the tide." Liu Xiexin pinched off a peach branch with his hand, turned around and said leisurely: "Unexpectedly, it is the season of peach and plum competition again." It's a pity that Ma Chao doesn't seem to have the leisure to appreciate this beautiful scene. β
Taking another step forward, Liu Xie smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I'm afraid that he has been drowned in the huge wave of rumors now, and he can't come out if he wants to, by the way, I forgot, the area around Sili is already thousands of miles away." The scene of peach and plum competing for beauty, Ma Chao can't see it no matter what. β
The splendid towering building where Liu Xie lived at this time was the Sanssouci Palace built for him by Cao Cao. Listening to his name, Liu Xie knew Cao Cao's intentions. However, he was unimpressed. On the contrary, I am very satisfied with the luxury inside. Intoxicated and lingering, many loyal ministers of the Han family were heartbroken by him, a young man who was once determined to be promising.
Even, Dong Cheng, who escorted him east to Xuchang and is now the head of the Han Dynasty, asked Liu Xie this question. Liu Xie replied in front of the civil and military officials: "Yunle here, why think about Chang'an? β
But Cao Cao didn't have the slightest intention of negligence and disobedience to Liu Xie's drunken and dreamy appearance. Every day when he ascended to the palace, he personally came to Sanssouci Palace to invite Liu Xie. It's just that most of the time, Liu Xie put down a sentence: "Cao Aiqing is worried about state affairs, those trivial matters, or bother Cao Aiqing to take care of them, and then leave them to me."
Gradually, civil and military officials have become accustomed to Cao Cao in both large and small political affairs. However, at this time, Cao Cao walked through the pavilions quickly, and when he shuttled through the corridors of the beautiful houses, he felt that he still couldn't see the end in front of him, and when he couldn't walk the edge, he began to regret building such a luxurious dormitory for Liu Xie.
After entering the palace, Cao Cao walked all the way, he didn't see a single man, and all the people who came and went were beautiful women dressed in silk and satin, and Cao Cao would always be happier when he saw these beauties in the past. But today, when he saw those palace maids who asked him to say goodbye, the irritability in his heart couldn't help but grow: he was only thirteen years old, and he knew how to enjoy beauty so well, I really don't know if that child would live to see him unify the world for the Han family!
However, do you really want to be so worried and sad for his promise? As long as he has no worries about food and clothing, and indulges in entertainment, is it really enough? After all, he has the blood of the Han family!!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, Cao Cao's feelings for Liu Xie were already extremely complicated at this time. Especially when he saw that Liu Xie was still leisurely playing with peach branches there, Cao Cao felt as if he had been deceived: Liu Xie deliberately handed over all his power and made himself his thug and eagle dog!
However, as a Hanchen, isn't it natural to do this? When I came back from sour jujubes, didn't I just want to return the Lang Lang Sheng scene under the hegemony of the world? Moreover, when he really waits for that day, is he, the son of heaven, still qualified to bargain with himself again?!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt more and more restless. He really didn't expect that the matter of Chang'an could make him have so many irritable associations.
"Cao Aiqing's face is not good, can she be more worried than Ma Chao in Chang'an?" Liu Xie chuckled, and hugged the Dong family beside him at a young age, and he had a faint demeanor.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Ma Chao in Chang'an City is much easier than Your Majesty and Weichen Xinyue" Cao Cao strictly followed the number of courtesies of the monarch and ministers, and after finishing the number of courtesies, he said: "Overnight, the big lords of the scholar clan in Chang'an were all wiped out. The entire Chang'an City is full of blood. Ma Chao, on the other hand, got grain and grass that could support him for a month. Even, the confiscated family wealth is enough for the Ma family to fight another short war! β
"Good!" When Liu Xie heard this, he jumped up, his expression was extremely excited, and he walked back and forth and said, "Ma Chao, he can't hold back after all." I then ordered that all the snakes in the Si Li area be active. I want to see how Ma Chao survived this catastrophe! Speaking of this, Liu Xie smiled again and said to Cao Cao: "It's also thanks to Cao Aiqing's strategy, now, with the way of others, let Ma Chao also taste the discomfort of Cao Aiqing's welcome to Xuchang!" β
"No need, those snakes" Cao Cao rarely showed a wry smile, but this time, it was Liu Xie's surprise: "The Ma family sent them all back, so it seems that he already knows our plan." And, he also expressed a very clear willingness to be friendly."
Those snakes refer to the dead soldier camp that Liu Xie immediately set out to establish after he was included in Xu Du, which is called the Snake Camp. It means that snakes are good at hiding, poisonous and violent, and will hurt people.
The dead soldiers in the coiled snake camp were all strictly selected from the Cao family's most elite tiger and leopard cavalry, and they were led by Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, on the surface. But no one knows who is secretly responsible. The dead soldiers in the camp were all named after snakes, and their real names no longer existed. And the reason why Cao Cao was able to agree to form the Snake Battalion was because Liu and Cao Cao said something about the shadow of the Ma family
Therefore, the nature of the snake camp is quite similar to the shadow of the Ma family. But under the guidance of Liu Xie, there are even more old and weak women and children, as well as all kinds of strange people. Acts include espionage, assassination, lurking, and so on.
These dead soldiers of the Cao family have no lack of romantic heroic feelings. Compared with the shadow of the Ma family, they have the demeanor of the Han Dynasty and even the pre-Qin dead soldiers: their minds are gloomy, and they are proud of death, and at first glance, under the guidance of Liu Xie, the first mission of this snake battalion seems to have been completed well, and it has successfully provoked the blind hatred of the victims in the Sili area towards the Ma family. It's a pity that the final outcome of the matter was that the shadow department of the old Ma family easily defeated the Cao family's snake camp.
However, Liu Xie didn't care much about this, when he heard Cao Cao say that frustrating answer. He just smiled and said, "Ma Chao is too busy to take care of himself!" Cao Aiqing wouldn't give up the pursuit of the Ma family because of such a small move by Ma Chao, right? β
Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie's serious face, and suddenly felt that all the irritability, worry, and anger in his abdomen had turned into an indescribable feeling. In the end, Cao Cao smiled, the more he laughed, the happier he felt, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, what is the pursuit of victory?" You don't think that the victims in the Sili area, without the rumor and incitement of the snake, will really do something to the Ma family, right? β
"That's nature!" Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao's laughter, and suddenly felt that he had been greatly insulted, which made him involuntarily think of Ma Chao's laughter, and he said angrily: "The wood is already in the boat, even if those disaster victims really can't shake the Ma family, but the commotion of millions of displaced people can definitely make the Ma family busy, and even withdraw directly from the Sili area!" β
"Your Majesty, you are too naΓ―ve" Cao Cao seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world, and laughed until his stomach began to hurt: "You told Wechen that you had been defeated by Ma Chao three or four times, and Wechen felt that with your martial arts, Ma Chao would not win easily, but now, Wechen feels that you don't know Ma Chao too well"
"Presumptuous!" Liu Xie was furious, pointed at Cao Cao and said loudly: "I can be said to be the person who knows Ma Chao best in this world!" β
And Cao Cao listened to Liu Xie's shouting, and did not change color at all, but gently pushed Liu Xie's hand away. With a touch of weird hideousness? Or with a mocking look, he said: "Perhaps, Your Majesty, you know the previous Ma Chao, but you never understand the Ma Chao who gradually changed after being a prince."
