He Pan, who was beside Liu Yin, saw Ma Jing's indifferent expression, and couldn't help but say with some indignation: "The old gentleman is also the queen of the Han Fubo General Ma Yuan, a generation of ministers, and has repeatedly received the emperor's favor, and the Ma family has today's prosperity, and it is all from the favor of the Han family." Today, usurpers are rampant, the Han family is in danger, and the Ma family should help the poor and participate in righteous deeds. At that time, Meng Qigong was angry at the crown, and Cao was incompatible, on the bank of the Weishui River, he killed Cao Cao to cut his beard and abandon his robe, this is also the Ma family, what a hero! Mr. Ma is willing to serve Wei as the main thing, and wants to stay out of the matter, not thinking about the hatred of his family and country, and I don't know what face he will have under Jiuquan to see General Fubo. ”

Old Man Ma was stunned, Liu Yin glanced back, and reprimanded softly: "Huixing, don't be rude to Old Man Ma." ”

Only then did He Pan bow his head and say, "No." ”

Old Man Ma's expression darkened, and he said, "Who is this?" ”

Liu Yin said: "This is Yin's subordinates joining the army, He Pan of Shu County is also, straightforward and fast-talking, there is something to offend the old gentleman, and he also looks at Haihan." ”

Old Man Ma smiled bitterly and said: "He joined the army, the old man is indeed ashamed, but after being a Hanchen, he can't be a man and be ashamed." However, General Liu also has to understand the hardships of the old man, the Longyou Ma family, more than thousands of people, as their head of the family, but also have to think about their livelihood. ”

Liu Yin knows very well the meaning of Ma Jing's words, now Shu Han has recovered Longyou, but Ma Jing has repeatedly claimed to consider the livelihood of the Ma family, which means that Ma Jing does not think that the Shu army can gain a foothold in Longyou at all, even if he captures Longyou now, it is temporary, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the counterattack of the Wei army, Ma Jingmingzhe will definitely not come forward to support Shu Han at this time, if Liu Yin fails. The Ma family became a rebellious minister like Ma Chao back then, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in Longyou.

"In this way, Mr. Ma thinks that we can't gain a foothold in Longyou?"

Master Ma coughed lightly and said, "Forgive the old man for being blunt, when Zhuge Wuhou was alive, he counted out Qishan. It was also not possible to take the right side of Long, because of the strong military strength of the Wei State, the general of the town of Beida took advantage of the emptiness of the right side of the Wei State, and won a battle, which can be described as a bloodless blade. However, Wei occupies most of the land in the world, and Longyou is just a remote place, although there is no war this winter, but in the spring of the next year, Wei will definitely send a large army to counterattack. With the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the general of Zhenbei, can they be worth the 100,000 male soldiers of the Wei State? ”

Liu Yin smiled slightly, it seems that this self-proclaimed old man Ma who ignores world affairs has been lying from the beginning, ignoring mundane affairs, and he is simply familiar with the general trend of the world, and even the strength of the Shu army entering Longyou is clear, this old man. This abacus bead is more shrewd than anyone else.

"It seems that Mr. Ma thinks that there is no chance of winning in the next place?"

Old Man Ma had a smile on his face. Noncommittal.

Liu Yin smiled and said, "If you can repel the invading soldiers of the Wei State and gain a firm foothold in Longyou, what should Mr. Ma do?" ”

Old Man Ma was slightly stunned, shook his head gently, and said, "The old man really can't see what chance your army has of winning. ”

Liu Yin said indifferently: "I just said if." If the facts are as a certain person, I wonder what Mr. Ma will do? ”

Old Man Ma stroked his beard and said leisurely: "If it is really as the general of Zhenbei said, the old man will lead the Ma family - no, all the Longyou family will support the general and ask for money." If you want food to give food, you want people to give you people. ”

"Okay, how about we make up our minds?"

Old Man Ma was stunned, looking at the confident and calm Liu Yin, he said suspiciously: "General Liu, but the prerequisite is to defeat the army of Wei and base itself on Longyou?" ”

Liu Yin laughed and said: "Of course, if I Liu Yin has no ability, I can only pat my ass and leave, and there is still face to disturb Mr. Ma." It's just that Mr. Ma must remember today's words, and when he defeats the Wei army and gains a foothold in Longyou, the old man should not break his word. ”

Old man Ma said solemnly: "Ma has lived for such an age, he naturally understands the word Xinyi, please rest assured, the old man is full of words, and he is waiting for the good news of the general." "Old Man Ma is not confused, if Liu Yin can really gain a foothold in Longyou, it is too late for him to stammer, how can he break his promise. The reason why he doesn't dare to befriend Liu Yin now is that he really has no confidence in Liu Yin, if he has a relationship with Liu Yin, and the Wei army kills Liu Yin and loses it, wouldn't the Ma family lose his wife and soldiers. Liu Yin is an outsider, and it can't be a big deal to pat his ass and leave, but the Ma family is different, the foundation of the Ma family is here, and he can't leave if he wants to.

Old Man Ma and the scholars of Longyou had discussed before, and the most worrying thing was whether Liu Yin would use coercive means to force them to submit, after all, the people did not fight with the officials, although the scholars were not ordinary people, but no matter how strong they were, after all, they were not as brave and good at fighting as the regular army, and the result of fighting was likely to be a lose-lose situation.

However, Liu Yin had already promised on the spot that he would not ask for anything from the Longyou family until he defeated the counterattack of the Wei State, which was obviously a happy result, and Old Man Ma was also slightly relieved.

Liu Yin said: "There is another reluctant request below, and I hope Mr. Ma can agree." ”

"Oh? Tell me what? Old Man Ma was a little nervous again.

Liu Yin smiled indifferently and said: "I think this is insignificant to the Ma family, that is, I hope that the Ma family and the major scholars of Longyou can remain neutral and not help each other when the Han and Wei dynasties are fighting." ”

"Of course, of course." Old Man Ma squinted his eyes and smiled, for him, Liu Yin's request was in his arms, and there was a reason not to agree.

Liu Yin got up to say goodbye, and Old Man Ma personally sent him off.

After leaving Majiawu Fort, Chen Shou, who had been silent and had never spoken, glanced back and said, "This old fox really doesn't see rabbits and eagles." ”

Liu Yin smiled slightly, and said: "It's normal, whoever is in such a position will make the same choice, no matter what, the purpose of today's trip can be regarded as achieved, even if the power of the Longyou family cannot be used by us for the time being, but it is not used by Cao Wei, it is the best choice." ”

Today's trip to Mafu, Liu Yin did not have much hope, to achieve such a result, it is already ideal, the Ma family and the entire Longyou family, to stand in a neutral position, is already commendable, as long as the battle to defend Longyou, show their ability and strength, I believe that the Ma family and the Longyou family will rush to it, not afraid that they will not come to attach.
