When he first entered Mifu, Ma Chao was shocked by the luxury and extravagance of Mifu.

Speaking of which, although Ma Chao was a general in the Han Dynasty and had a noble status, he never had a swaggering behavior in his daily life. It's not that he doesn't have that ability, it's just that he thinks that it makes him feel like he has a kind of shame as a rich man who got rich overnight.

However, it is not too wide, not necessarily that Ma Chao has not seen it. At least the Weiyang Palace, the widest in the Han Dynasty, and the dock in Dong Zhuo Lane back then, Ma Chao saw it with his own eyes, and the Weiyang Palace was demolished by him. However, in the late Han Dynasty, an era when merchants were generally regarded as cheap industries, the Mi family was able to build such a luxurious villa in Xiapicheng, which really shocked Ma Chao.

As soon as he entered Mi Mansion, Ma Chao came up and was impressed by the Mi family's football field in the parking lot of the previous life. Not to mention the cleanliness of the bluestone, there is also the thoughtful service of the servants leading the horses to take care of the maids and the maids to greet and lead the way, so subtle and subtle, Ma Chao can't help but feel the deep precipitation of the century-old inheritance of the Mijia industry.

"General, there are only you and me at this time, and Gongda is under the command of the general, so Chen will have something to say."

Along the way, I don't know how many pavilions I walked through, and how many beautiful corridors of houses I turned. And just when Ma Chao was still lamenting the grandeur of Mi Mansion, Xun Chen, who was advancing together, swept away his previous exaggerated and vain expression, and said to Ma Chao with a solemn face.

But Ma Chao still didn't care, just glanced at Xun Chen in amazement, and teased: "Mr. Xun, don't be so serious, Gongda is indeed under my command, but Xun Yu Xun Wenruo is the pillar of optimus under Cao Cao, but isn't Mr. Xun also the leader of Liu to destroy Cao?" ”

When these words came out, Xun Chen glanced at Ma Chao again in shock, and then sighed helplessly and said: "It turns out that the general knows everything, so that Chen will not say more." It's just that the general who wants to tell him, the lord seems to have an undecided mind about Cao Cao, but it seems that he has made a decision, and sending me and Guo Tu into Xuzhou seems to be just trying to find out what Liu Bei thinks! ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ma Chaocai couldn't help but groan seriously: If it is as Xun Chen said, then it seems that there will be some changes in the matter of coming to Xuzhou?

At the beginning, when Ma Chao saw Xun Chen, he thought that Yuan Shao had sent an envoy to Xuzhou to tell Liu Bei that he wanted to kill Cao Cao. After all, after the investigation of the Zhen family's grain and grass and Gao Ran, Yuan Shao must have hated Liu Xie and Cao Cao for treating him as a monkey, and he is likely to help another agent enter Yanzhou. And Liu Bei, who relied on the past in the main referendum, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

And Xun Chen once persuaded Yuan Shao to eradicate Cao Cao as soon as possible in history, and then tried openly and secretly along the way, Ma Chao really found that Xun Chen was the same as himself, and came to Xuzhou to join Liu to destroy Cao. Unexpectedly, this time it was not only Xun Chen who came, but also Guo Tu, who had an old friendship with Cao Cao, came together, and Xun Chen had always disagreed with Guo Tu's politics, Ma Chao guessed at the first time that Yuan Shao might have two major factions arguing over the issue of Cao Cao. Maybe it was for the sake of purifying the ears, or maybe he wanted to know Liu Bei's thoughts, Yuan Shao simply threw these two factions of minds to Xuzhou.

But now, hearing Xun Chen say this, Ma Chao had to carefully consider Yuan Shao's thoughts. Although it is said that Yuan Shao will not fight Cao Cao, Ma Chao will unite with Liu Bei, but no matter what, Yuan Shao is closer to Xuzhou after all, and Liu Bei's attitude towards Yuan Shao is inevitable to be considered. Moreover, it is the kind that is carefully considered.

However, in the current situation, Yuan Shao sent a main battle, a master and two major conspirators to Xuzhou, which undoubtedly gave Liu Bei the appearance of 'Yuan Shao's hesitation and neutrality'. This situation, for oneself, can only be neither beneficial nor harmless. The only consideration is how big Liu Bei's ambition is, and how much the Ma family's face can be worth.

Thinking about it, Ma Chao also has a plan in his heart. Therefore, Ma Chao spoke: "Then I don't know if Mr. Xun and Guo Tu have already met Liu Bei?" ”

"I've seen it," Xun Chen asked and answered, and seemed to be quite persistent in the creed of 'the enemy of the enemy is a friend', and continued to Ma Chao without concealment: "Liu Bei seems to be gentle and deferential, but he is extremely scheming. After some analysis with Guo Tuju and Liu Bei, Liu Bei's words were ambiguous, and he looked like he didn't see a rabbit or an eagle. Therefore, I will participate in this talent conference today, and at present, I naturally want to further persuade Liu Bei by getting acquainted with Mi Zhu. ”

"That means that Guo Tu will definitely be present today?"

"Since that's the case, I don't know ........ general"

Ma Chao sneered twice, looked at Xun Chen's expression of understanding, and couldn't help but speak: "Then how about Chao Ben help Mr. today?" ”

"Now that the general has come to Xuzhou, Chen has already known that the matter of linking Liu has been completed!" Looking at Ma Chao's cheap smile, Xun Chen couldn't help but be infected by it, and said with the same sneer: "However, if Guo Gongze can make a fool of himself in public, Chen is also happy to see it......."

Laughing, the two of them came to a hall led by the maid, and the hall was now full of guests. Xun Chen is a famous man in the north, so he naturally sat in the most conspicuous first row. It's just that Ma Chao, who made up his mind to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, pretended to be Xun Chen's entourage and stood behind Xun Chen.

It's just that as soon as he took his seat, Xun Chen's expression moved, and he looked at Ma Chao slightly. Ma Chao knew what he meant, stepped forward with his ear, and only heard Xun Chen say: "Strange, why did Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong of the Guangling Wang clan come here today?" ”

Chen Deng?

Ma Chao's eyes suddenly widened, and he followed Xun Chen's eyes and looked at the opposite side.

Sure enough, there was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old Chen Deng sitting opposite, his face was also handsome, handsome, heroic and restrained, but looking at his figure, he was not too tall, and his body was thin and thin. A cyan robe was draped over his body, but he looked a little more handsome.

Of course, Ma Chao will not judge people by their appearance, he looks at Chen Deng, more to see his inner spirit and temperament.

Sure enough, this legendary strategist who died young in history really has the style of a 'national warrior', and his whole temperament is free and concise. When talking to other guests, his voice was sonorous and heroic, and he seemed hearty and bold, which was convincing. But at the same time, Ma Chao also vaguely felt that Chen Deng was just greeting politely when talking to those people. It was as if he was always restrained with a touch of arrogance and arrogance, secretly isolating himself from others.

That person is Chen Deng?

Is it Chen Deng who spoke to people and persuaded Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou with his fame and ambition?

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Deng did not have many scenes, and he did not have too many wonderful performances. He is a son of the Chen family of the Guangling Wang clan, and his father Chen Qi is a famous person in Guangling. And Chen Deng himself is also famous, at the age of twenty-five, he became the chief of Dongyang, and later worshiped the captain of the agricultural school.

None of this is important, but the important thing is that Ma Chao remembers that the historical record shows that Chen Deng's political position is very vague, and it is even difficult to define where he belongs.

When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he admired Liu Bei a lot, and even admired only three people in his life, and Liu Bei was one of them. But later Lü Bu expelled Liu Bei, and Chen Deng quickly took refuge in Cao Cao, worshiping Guangling's post too much, but he copied Liu Bei from time to time to fight against Lü Bu, and at the same time secretly colluded with Lü Bu to seek more benefits. Such a person is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and it is impossible to fathom.......

And now, what is it that he, a person who is already famous, has come to Mifu to sell his reputation and reputation at such a banquet for his daughter's reputation?

Could it be said? ……..

Ma Chao glanced at Chen Deng on the other side again, and after seeing Chen Deng perceiving his gaze and making a gesture of toasting with a smile, Ma Chao also laughed sincerely: It seems that his own shadow has long been followed by many princes!
