Chapter 846: The Words of Human Nature
When Ma Chao refused to lead the army to conquer Puyang with Lu Bu, everyone in the house was shocked. And the most shocking of them was Lu Bulu Fengxian. But the one who is more keenly aware of this than Lu Bu is Liu Xiu, the eldest princess of Yangzhai who has been standing by Lu Bu's side.
As a woman, Liu Xiu has been faintly worried in his heart since he heard Ma Chao call Lu Qiling strangely. At this time, when all the topics were referring to the military and political situation, Liu Xiu realized that none of the princes' affairs were trivial. Every move involves the rise and fall of one party's forces!
Although Liu Xiu couldn't imagine how Lu Qiling disliked Ma Chao at this time, he couldn't help it emotionally, but Liu Xiu had already secretly blamed Lu Qiling in his heart: This daughter, who has been spoiled by Lu Bu since she was a child, is really difficult to become the link between the Lu family and the Ma family, but may pull the Lu family into the abyss from which she will never recover!
No matter how stupid she is, Liu Xiu thinks that Lu Qiling should also see that Lu Bu's current life and death are completely dependent on the support of the Ma family. An overlord as majestic and ambitious as Cao Cao also had to be committed to Yuan Shao at this time. And as a woman destined to be a victim in the troubled times and the daughter of the princes, how could Lu Qiling, at a critical moment, make the lord of the dignified Ma family disgusted and disgusted with the Lu family?!
"Lord, Ling'er has always been spoiled under Fengxian........" At that moment, Liu Xiu stepped forward and said so. But as soon as she was halfway through, she immediately stopped talking.
First of all, Liu Xiu knows Ma Chao, even if there is a dispute between the two, it is very likely that it is Lu Qiling's fault. Why did she let Ma Chao put up with Lu Qiling so much? In that case, wouldn't it make Ma Chao even more disgusted with the Lu family?
Also, at this time, after all, it is an opportunity for the military to discuss major matters, and he puts the trivial matters of men and women in the open like this, wouldn't he secretly accuse Ma Chao of being narrow-minded and coercing the communiqué for personal grievances?
Sure enough, after Ma Chao suddenly heard Liu Xiu's words, a trace of anger suddenly flashed on his face. It wasn't until he looked at Liu Xiu's apologetic and regretful eyes that his face gradually returned to Gujing Wubo's indifference, and said: "The eldest princess said that she laughed, Chaozi would not be the kind of person who forgets her public because of her selfishness, and this time she will not enter Puyang because he still has something to do in person!" ”
After hearing this, Liu Xiu smiled apologetically again, but the worry in her eyes couldn't help but spread to Lu Bu. And Lu Bu heard Ma Chao personally admit that there was indeed a dispute between him and Lu Qiling, and the sword eyebrows on his forehead were almost twisted into a circle, and he was worried and anxious, but it was difficult to ask directly: After all, the girl who marries out spills the water. How could he, a cheap old man and subordinate, speak casually regardless of the occasion?
As a result, Lu Bu thought for a moment, and finally had to speak: "I don't know if the lord has set a strategy for attacking Puyang, but where is he going?" ”
Strictly speaking, these words are already a bit arrogant. No subordinate has ever deliberately inquired about the lord's actions in such a way. And after Ma Chao glanced at Lu Bu, he didn't react much, but said lightly: "Since Cao Cao provoked Chen Liuzhang Miao, then I naturally have to speed up the matter of leaving Chang'an and entering Xuzhou to contact Liu Bei!" ”
"Xuzhou Liu Bei?" Chen Gong spoke again, at this time, he suddenly found that the speed of his thinking could not keep up with the breadth of Ma Chao at all, and he couldn't help but say ashamedly: "Weichen also thought of this person at the beginning, if we have the help of this person and attack Cao Cao, then we really don't need to fight so the battlefield in Yanzhou." However, this diplomatic affair ........"
When Chen Gong said this, he couldn't help but further bury his head in the wide sleeved robe, so that his voice became an urn through the blocking of his clothes, which showed his degree of shame: "This diplomatic horizon, the battle situation in Yanzhou is dangerous, and Weichen can't go in person; Second, Weichen once wrote a handwritten letter to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei's reply was that Xuzhou was initially decided, and it was not appropriate to provoke the sword soldiers again........"
"Hmph," Ma Chao couldn't help but sneer twice when he heard this, and said something very trans-epochal: "Women don't care about purity, it's because the price of temptation is not enough; Men don't care about loyalty, because there is not enough capital for betrayal! ”
"Although I don't know what was written in the letter from the public station, I'm sure you didn't capture Liu Bei's heart! Xuzhou was initially decided, and it is not appropriate to provoke the sword war again? This sentence is simply a big joke! If Liu Bei was told by the public station, Yuan Shao had already separated from Cao Cao and wanted to support another new agent in the Central Plains. At the same time, the Western Ma family is still willing to form an alliance with Liu Bei....... so I don't believe that Liu Bei will not send troops to attack Cao Cao under the temptation of being able to establish his position in Xuzhou in one battle and win Yanzhou counties? ! ”
"This, this? …….”
After the words fell, not only Chen Gong, but even Lu Bu, Liu Xiu, and even those generals who were rough about the situation were shocked by Ma Chao's shocking remarks. Everyone first looked left and right in confusion, and they all saw the astonishment and admiration in each other's eyes. And then after carefully chewing Ma Chao's words again, his eyes gradually became clear and eager, but when he looked at Ma Chao again, he had seven more points of respect and three points of deep fear at the same time!
'A woman is not pure because the price of temptation is not enough; Men don't care about loyalty, because there is not enough capital for betrayal! ’
This sentence is so damn correct! Ma Chao, a male lord who has seen through people's hearts and human nature, how could he not beat the foundation of the Ma family? And in such a treacherous era, how could a demon like him fail?!
At this time, Chen Gong's head had been buried in the wide sleeved robe, and he hadn't raised it for a long time. Everyone looked at his sculpture-like posture and couldn't help but feel the same way. And when Chen Gong finally raised his head, everyone found that his face had become a mixture of extreme shame and inexplicable complexity of information, and after a moment of change, Chen Gong whispered like a dream: "Weichen, Weichen has no reason to talk about it." The lord's words made the ministers suddenly open, and what they had learned from Confucianism for many years seemed to be turned upside down in an instant......."
After that, Ma Chao listened carefully. At this time, he was in no mood to care about the transformation of Chen Gong. He just looked at Lu Bu, whose face was shocked but still in a normal sense, and said, "Chen Liuzhang Miao is there, Feng Xiangong doesn't need to worry too much. Zhang Miao, I had already inferred before I came, this person seems to be a gentleman and a benevolent person, but in fact he is just a speculator in troubled times. This time, Feng Xiangong was defeated, and he would accept Cao Cao's canonization. But in fact, this person is very suspicious, and it is difficult to achieve great things at both ends of the snake and rat! ”
"This person only turned against Cao Cao a year ago, how can he not see that Cao Cao's performance of him as the assassin of Yanzhou is just an expedient measure? Who is Cao Cao, once he recaptures Yanzhou, it is strange if he doesn't settle accounts with Zhang Miao after the autumn, how can he really serve Zhang Miao as the lord of Yanzhou? So Zhang Miao was at this time when he couldn't play and wavered. On the one hand, he did not do anything to counterattack Feng Xiangong at all, and on the other hand, he pretended to communicate with Cao Cao. That's just a clever move by this guy! ”
"As long as Feng Xiangong listens to my plan, attacks Puyang with all his might, and bluffs, then maybe everything can be faked and turned true. When Zhang Miao saw this, he was even more worried. Therefore, turning a blind eye to Chen Liu's Zhang Miao, and sending another public platform to appease the deception, Zhang Miao will naturally take the initiative to move closer to Feng Xiangong again, maybe, those soldiers, horses, grains and grass under his command will be used by Feng Xiangong, maybe ........"
"Meng, Meng Qi........ no, lord!" After Lu Bu heard this, he stammered for the first time, and then his face froze, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and pulled out a knife and stabbed his arm and said heavily: "No matter how Ling'er offends the lord, Lu Bu swears in public that if you are disloyal to the Ma family, you will be struck by thunder, and you will not regret it!" ”
