"Ma Zhenxi is sure that Lu Bu can persuade Li Su?" Liu Xie frowned and looked at Ma Chao's strange sitting posture, although he had some doubts, he still endured not asking, but asked this question instead.

"Your Majesty is relieved...... Oops, it's still comfortable to sit. Ma Chao sat on the rattan chair specially prepared for him, shook it twice, and then continued: "Then Li Su, like Lu Bu, has long been against Dong Zhuo, not to mention, he has a great desire for power. I was already dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's refusal to promote him to his official position......"

"In this way, Dong Zhuo's subordinates can all be co-opted?" Liu Xie was overjoyed, and suddenly asked Ma Chao.

But Ma Chao pursed his lips and sneered at Liu Xie's childish idea: Dong Zhuo's subordinates are good if they can produce Lu Bu and Li Su. In fact, apart from Lu Bu and Li Su, Dong Zhuo's subordinates were quite loyal to Dong Zhuo. First, these people are all Xiliang people, and their lives, glory and wealth have long been tied to Dong Zhuo, and they are both damaged and prosperous; Second, excluding the factor of Dong Fatzi's brutality, it is still very interesting for him to be a leader. Although he did not give his subordinates a large official position, he received a lot of real rewards. Those subordinates have nothing to complain about.

Only Lu Bu and Li Su are from Bingzhou, and they are not on the right path with Dong Zhuo's old subordinates. And Dong Zhuo also used it again and again, and he was very weak, which made these two people who were unwilling to be lonely have objections. Xu Rong, who was replaced by Liaodong, had no intention of rebelling.

Therefore, instead of thinking about these marginal things, it is more meaningful to think about when your backyard will be cleaned: Yes, after coming out of the barracks, Ma Chao heard Xiao Tian say that Cai Yan and Liu Yue had not gone back, so he didn't dare to go back to his home. Coupled with the matter of the two edicts, Ma Chao was angry, so he came to Liu Xie's place to avoid the limelight for the time being, and by the way, to see what tricks Liu Xie was playing.

But as soon as he talked to Liu Xie, Ma Chao didn't have that thought. Because he found that although Liu Xie was scheming, he still had some childish paranoia and lack in doing things. For example, the ridiculous idea just now is proof of this. From this, maybe the matter of the two edicts is that Shi Sun Rui came here to fool around, and Liu Xie simply stamped his private seal (the jade seal is still in Sun Ce's hands, so Liu Xie can only stamp a private seal), and it is also possible.

However, fortunately, Liu Xie's talent is really smart, and he didn't need Ma Chao to explain, he quickly figured out the trick. However, he still didn't understand Li Su's rebellion, and couldn't help asking: "Why is Ma Zhenxi so sure that Li Su will join our side?" ”

Ma Chao glanced at Liu Xie, and replied without the slightest appearance of a courtier: "Because he is very smart, but it is his cleverness that he is destined to take refuge in us." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xie was very surprised by Ma Chao's answer, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It is conceivable that if I were Li Su, I suddenly received an invitation from Lu Bu and came to Situ Mansion. Listening to Lu Bu talk about all kinds of plans, he will definitely have a lot of doubts. Because he had no idea how many people were involved in this project, and how powerful they were. Ma Chao said this, and couldn't help but sneer, and he didn't know what he was laughing at.

"However, when he saw that Master Situ, who was very appreciated by Dong Zhuo, was the mastermind, and Lu Bu, who was the same father and son as Dong Zhuo, had joined, he naturally thought that this operation was the trend of the times...... but Liu Xie understood Ma Chao's laughter, and then Ma Chao's words said.

"Yes, being smart is mistaken by being smart, that's the truth. Killing him didn't expect that the whole plan was actually only Wang Yun, an old man, with a few subordinates, and a Lu Bu was just doing it. Li Su is a wall-to-wall grass, if he wants to follow the general trend, he will naturally betray Dong Zhuo. Ma Chao finally said, and smacked his lips, expressing his silence for Comrade Li Su.

"Who said that only Wang Yun is working on this plan? If it weren't for the general trend, would Ma Zhenxi and I still be involved? Liu Xie laughed, saying that he did not agree with Ma Chao's point of view.

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then smiled. found that Liu Xie was reasonable, but he still disagreed: "We are hidden behind the scenes, and history will not record our names at all......"

Speaking of this, Ma Chao suddenly felt a sense of trance: he came to Chang'an for a period of stable development in Yongzhou and for his father's death. But I never thought that after experiencing all kinds of events, I would silently withdraw from Chang'an, I really don't know, what is all this for?

drove straight into Chang'an, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

Ma Chao did think so, but after entering Chang'an, he realized that this politics was not something he could play with at present. Like Dong Zhuo, he did not obtain a stable foundation, and only relied on tricks to steal the Han regime. In the end, in exchange, not only is the sky angry and people resentful, but everyone is against it?

As for coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it is even more ridiculous: the world only sees Cao Cao coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and finally dominates the north and shocks the universe. But he didn't think about it, in fact, Dong Zhuo was the precedent who created the Son of Heaven to order the princes. And why are they so different?

Because the fundamental reason is that Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao chose different timings. When Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it was when the Han family was about to die but was not dead, and everyone in the world could hold the slogan of hoeing traitors and Qing monarchs, and cut Dong Fatzi to gain a lot of credit and fame; And Cao Cao's welcome back to the Son of Heaven at that time was when the Han family had gone through the disaster of Dong Zhuo and the chaos of Chang'an by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and it had already existed in name only. In that case, Cao Cao had already grasped the opportunity when the monarch and his ministers were at their weakest; At that time, the coercion of the Son of Heaven was really holding a treasure hostage, not a double-edged sword!

Why didn't Yuan Shao hold the Son of Heaven hostage, he was stupid? Is it really indifferent for the sake of his son's serious illness? Bullshit! As a politician, Ma Chaoke knows that they are cold-blooded and ruthless. And Yuan Shao is reluctant to hold the Son of Heaven hostage, because he doesn't need to be held hostage at all, his reputation is enough to offset the impact of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty! He even wanted to set up Liu Yu as emperor in Jizhou to fight against the Eastern Han court.

Therefore, Ma Chao will not be stupid to learn from Dong Zhuo and make wedding clothes for others. What's more, this Liu Xie is not at all the same as the stupid kid recorded in history. He is young and extreme, scheming and vicious, and when he grows up, he is even more immeasurable. Ma Chao didn't want to face the palace coup and the assassination of political enemies all day in the future, and would rather seek development step by step.

What's more, Chang'an may be followed by the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, as well as an unprecedented locust plague. And these are all things that Ma Chao does not dare to control at present.......

As a result, Ma Chao could only choose to come gently, go quietly, and after scooping up a vote for his younger brother, fame, and more tangible things, he watched on the side, and then took over Chang'an when it was already in civil turmoil and full of holes......

"Mazhen West...... Ma Zhenxi? Liu Xie shook his little hand and recalled Ma Chao from his contemplation to reality, before he suddenly asked, "What is this?" ”

"What?" Ma Chao was stunned, he was thinking a lot just now, how did he know what Liu Xie said?

If it was an ordinary courtier, this performance would have already been a great crime of contempt for imperial power. But Liu Xie didn't think it was a pestle at all, but said again: "I said, after the destruction of Dong Thief, I will be in charge of the government, and you will be a relative." The inner essence is important, the outer town is rebellious, the light is thin, the rest is raised, and the glory of the Han family is rebuilt, okay? ”

Ma Chao listened, and looked at Liu Xie's innocent face in a daze, I don't know when Liu Xie actually had this idea. And he, who is well aware of the historical trend, has the slightest impulse to disappoint Liu Xie at this time. I wanted to say yes, but I didn't know where to start. Finally, after a moment of silence, he said leisurely:

"If Your Majesty can keep Chang'an peaceful for a year in the future, the minister is willing to be loyal to the Han family, let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible, and regain the glory of the Han Dynasty! And if His Majesty does not fulfill this promise, then Weichen can only use his own way to be responsible for this common people! ”
