In order not to suffer this beating, Liu Bao memorized a lot of "Great Defenses for Men and Women", and even moved out Confucius' "food and sex", and finally...

Ma Di still beat him hard.

So the young Liu Bao understood two things. The first one is that when a person wants to hit you, it doesn't matter what you say; fry.

……

Fufeng County, Meiwu.

Historically, Meiwu was the residence built by Dong Zhuo 250 miles west of Chang'an after he moved his capital to Chang'an.It is seven feet tall and thick, and it is adjacent to Chang'an City. It is called "Long Live Wu" and is known as "Mei Wu" in the world.

In this time and space, Dong Zhuo died early, and Meiwu is still a small city, which is the residence of the general Ma Chao.

General Ma Chao, who came back from a horse walk, was sitting in the main hall of the mansion, listening to the generals Yang Qiu and Li Kan taking turns reporting the situation in Guanzhong.

"All the ministries in Hexi (Liangzhou) are attacking each other, and it is becoming more and more fierce. Song Jian, the king of Hexi, came to invite Meng Qi to return to Liangzhou and attack the Qiang, Hu and tyrants of the various ministries."

"After Yu Fuluo, the Right Wise King of the Southern Xiongnu occupied Fengyi County, his forces continued to expand westward along the north bank of the Weishui River. Recently, there have been several frictions with our troops."

"Cai Yong, the captain of the Sili school, played Cao Cao, representing Pingyuan and Liu Bei was Jing Zhaoyin, the governor of the military forces in Guanzhong. In name, after Liu Bei came, he was our boss."

"The soldiers we sent to Hanzhong to repair the plank road were driven back by Zhang Lu."

"Lv Bu Chen Bing of Bingzhou Hetao seems to have the intention of going south to Guanzhong."

"..."


Ma Chao is tall, burly, and extremely handsome. If only in terms of adult strength, he can even compete with Lu Bu; but.

Perhaps because of the full force value, Ma Chao's mind is very simple.How simple is it?You only need to stare at him, and he will immediately rush up to you and get anxious with you, whether it’s a battle of life or death; if you glance at him with malicious intentions, he can’t sleep well for three days and nights, repeatedly Consider why.

How should I put it, Ma Chao's lack of brains made him suffer repeatedly, and even cost his life in the end.

Historically, Ma Chao was originally under Cao Cao's command, and Cao Cao treated him fairly well, because he suspected that it was a lie for Cao Cao to use Guanzhong to attack Zhang Lu, and it was true to attack Guanzhong, so he rebelled against Cao Cao and wanted to compete in the world.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with competing in the world, all the princes of the world do this, but Ma Chao's timing and planning of raising troops are simply too child's play.First of all, he missed the best time to raise troops after the Battle of Chibi. At that time, Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and his vitality was seriously injured. If Ma Chao chooses to raise troops at this time, he will definitely make a difference.Secondly, at the beginning of the army, at least the family must be brought back.You are born as a human being, how can you walk alone in the world!Brothers are needed to fight tigers. If two more brothers and old father Ma Teng were assisted, Ma Chao might not lose so badly.

You know, before Ma Teng decided to go to Xuchang, he had been a prince in Guanzhong for more than 20 years.

But there is no way, it is fate to have such a son.

In short, Ma Chao raised his army in such a muddleheaded manner, which directly ruined the life of his old father Ma Teng.

Strictly speaking, Ma Chaobing did not have the intelligence to be a prince, but he had the heart to be a prince, and he wanted to sit firmly in the pass, watch the victory or defeat of Chibi, and watch the changes in the world, which is a bit silly.No matter who wins the Battle of Chibi, they will definitely target Guanzhong in the end.

In order to separate Ma Chao, Cao Cao went to battle to deceive Han Sui himself, and sent envoys to send letters that had been smeared to separate the two.

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Chao saw the redacted letter, he immediately suspected that Han Sui had an affair with Cao Cao, so he raised troops on the spot to "fight Han Sui to the death", causing internal strife in the city, so Han Sui was forced to join Cao Cao , to meet the latter into the city and attack Ma Chao together.

Then, it took Cao Cao more than a year to completely beat Ma Chao to nothing. He had to vote for Zhang Lu first and then Liu Bei, panicking like a bereaved dog.

But after defecting to Liu Bei, Ma Chao committed the old problem of low intelligence again, and often called Liu Bei "Xuande", which angered Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.Zhang Fei and Guan Yu once wanted to kill Ma Chao. After Ma Chao learned about it, he no longer dared to call Liu Bei's name. Brothers and more than 200 members of the clan were killed by Cao Cao, and Ma Chao was even more depressed, and soon died young.

If there is really regret medicine in the world, if you take it, you can go back to the time when you made a mistake and start over again, then one regret medicine is enough for normal people, but Ma Chao...

Need a hundred!

After listening to the reports from the generals Yang Qiu and Li Kan, Ma Chao frowned, and anxiously patted the table.

"If Liu Bei comes, what should I do?"

This is the right question to ask.

Yang Qiu and Li Kan glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything.Both of them are reckless like Ma Chao, even not as smart as Ma Chao, and I want them to give Ma Chao advice unless the sun comes out from the west.

In fact, Ma Chao also knew that as long as he had a counselor by his side, he would not be helpless in all matters, big or small, and could only resolve them by force.

But the current situation is like this. He really doesn't have any counselors, and he can't recruit counselors, and as far as he knows, neither Lu Bu nor Liu Bei has counselors.

Talents like counselors themselves have a very keen judgment on the situation in the world. When he thinks that a prince has no future, even if you put a knife on his neck, he will not come to you for refuge.Even, you don't even have the chance to put a knife on his neck - he will leave before you do it.

Therefore, Ma Chao has a group of reckless men who don't know how to manage people's livelihood, let alone how to work together. They just go for a walk, hunt, and drink every day.Although they have joined the imperial court in name, they actually don't take the imperial court seriously at all. As long as outsiders or foreign troops step into the pass, they will immediately provoke their sensitive nerves.

Just as Ma Chao was very annoyed by the actions of Yu Fuluo, the Right Wise King of the Southern Huns, what annoyed him even more was that Liu Bei was coming.

Ma Su and Yu Fuluo are already very difficult to deal with, and the three forces are now frantically probing on the brink of war every day.If Liu Bei came at this time, wouldn't it be a direct fight?

Ma Chao felt that he was not a combative person.

But there are always people who challenge his bottom line.

angry! !
Ma Chao took another look at the table, "Yu Fuluo bullied me too much! Liu Beizhi didn't care about it, how do you think I should deal with Yu Fuluo?"

This question is easy to answer, Yang Qiu and Li Kan glanced at each other, and immediately gave a unanimous proposal.

"Meng Qi, since Yu Fuluo is so ignorant, why don't you just send troops to take over the old nest of the Southern Huns! As long as we act fast enough, Ma Su will have no time to stop it!"

"That's right! The Huns like to live in the wild and don't live in the city. If we suddenly raise an army, Yu Fuluo must be unprepared, and he will definitely not be able to stop us from rushing!"

The feasibility of this proposal is very high.

Soldiers are deceitful, and no one stipulates that if they belong to the same court, they cannot attack each other.

Besides, the world is in such chaos, the court of Xuchang may care about the safety of Cai Yong, the captain of Sili, but will definitely not care about the life and death of the Southern Huns.

Even so, Ma Chao hesitated.

There are [-] cavalry under Yu Fuluo's command, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of Xiliang cavalry. If Yu Fuluo is prepared, [-] Xiliang cavalry will face a bloody battle.If the two families suffer as a result, it is a situation that Ma Chao does not want to see.

"Meng Qi, let's fight?! It's just to give that Liu Bei a blow, so that he will know the prestige of my Xiliang army."

"Meng Qi, if this battle is successful, we will have the final say in Guanzhong; if it fails, it will be just a three-legged confrontation. If we don't attack Yu Fuluo at this time, we will be in a bad situation when Liu Bei arrives and fight against him! I But I heard that under Gongsun Zan's command, Liu Bei was good at fighting and made many military exploits. He also had two fierce generals under his command, one Guan Yu, with a red face and long beard, who made a glamorous saw with an unbelievable courage; His name is Zhang Fei, and he wields a zhangba snake spear. He has the courage that no man should deserve, and he can be called a formidable enemy!"

Ma Chao nodded, pinched his chin and said, "It's just that I'm afraid that Fu Luo will be on guard!"

"If Yu Fuluo is prepared, he will not be able to do all the work this time, and he will not be able to do all the work. The war will be delayed by the sun and the moon, and the sun and the moon will be delayed. Our army will be overwhelmed with food and grass!"

After all, Ma Chao's analysis is the most intelligent person in this room, pointing to the core of the problem - because they are not good at governing the region, the Xiliang Army has never had much food and grass, just barely enough .

Yang Qiu and Li Kan scratched their heads, but couldn't find any rebuttals for a while.

"What's more, Ma Di has set up beacon towers on both sides of the Wei River. If we can't win quickly, Ma Di will probably help Yu Fuluo to deal with me. If so, we will face the enemy!"

As Ma Chao said, he stood up slowly and paced around the room.If his IQ is higher, he will understand that it is impossible for Ma Di to help the Huns deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is dominated by Qiang people; To help Yu Fuluo, it is better to worry about Ma Di sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and profiting from it.But it's a pity that Yang Qiu and Li Kan's IQs are lower than his, and they never thought of this.

In history, the fate of Yang Qiu and Li Kan was also very rough, especially the latter.During the Xingping period of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Kan raised troops and had thousands of troops.In the second year of Jian'an, because of the depression in Xianyang, Li Kan led his troops to station in Chang'an. They lived in the Wubao built by Dong Zhuo before. Beggars are not as good.In the 16th year of Jian'an (211 AD), Li Kan rebelled against Cao Cao from a total of ten forces including Ma Chao and Han Sui.In September, Cao Cao launched a decisive battle in Weinan, defeating the ten coalition forces, and Li Kan died in battle.

At this time, Li Kan did not embark on the path of rebellion for the time being. After Ma Teng entered the court for the second time, he defected to Ma Chao, who had an official identity, as a strongman in Mei County.

After tangling for a long time and being undecided, Ma Chao took two generals to the north bank of the Wei River to investigate in person.

At this time, Liu Bei and the others had already arrived in Chang'an City.

They came very quickly. They had just helped Beihai prefect Kong Rong solve the siege of the Yellow Turban, and they rushed to Guanzhong with [-] soldiers, without stopping anywhere on the way.

In order to come to Guanzhong to be Jing Zhaoyin, Liu Bei even rejected Kong Rong's position as the prefect of Beihai.Beihai has been plagued by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the area under its jurisdiction is sparsely populated, and its development prospects are slim. Since Liu Bei already has a good place like Guanzhong, he certainly doesn't want a poor and underpopulated Beihai County.

After entering Chang'an City and arriving at Sili Xiaowei's Mansion, Liu Bei finally met Ma Di, the "big talent" he had been thinking about day and night.

As soon as they met, Liu Bei was overjoyed. Ma Di was indeed a man of talent, eloquent and personable, and Cai Yong was, as the legend said, well educated, gentle and honest.

Of course, Liu Bei was ecstatic not only about this, but also about military power.He entered the Colonel's Mansion, before his butt was hot, Cai Yong had already handed him the talisman symbolizing the control of soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Kansai.

That is to say, from now on, all the princes in Guanzhong and even Xiliang are under his control! !
Liu Bei's moved eyes were sore, he took a deep breath, and bowed to Cai Yong, "Bei has been wandering for half his life, but he has never received such a great gift, Mr. Cai, please accept me."

"Xuande please stand up, please sit down!"

Cai Yong stretched out his hand to help, the host and guest returned to their seats, and they started talking enthusiastically.Ma Di sat silently at the side, looked at the four strong men behind Liu Bei, and pinched his chin in thought.

The number of people is wrong!

The number of Liu Bei's younger brothers is wrong, there are two more!
If the red-faced and long-bearded man on the left is Guan Yu, and the black-faced and big-eyed man on the right is Zhang Fei, then who is the extremely handsome man behind Guan Yu with a white face and no beard?Who is that white-faced and bearded man behind Zhang Fei?

"Mr. Xuande, excuse me. Who are these people?"

Liu Bei was chatting with Cai Yong, he was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly introduced: "This is my second brother Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, this is my third brother Zhang Fei Zhang Yide, this is Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, this is Tai Shi Ci Tai Shi Ziyi."

Sure enough, it was Zhao Yun and Tai Shici!
Ma Di looked at Liu Bei in surprise, didn't know what to say, so he bowed his hands to several people.

"It's really the four-member tiger general!"

The four of them, Guan Zhang, Zhao Taishi, hurriedly returned the salute, "Thanks for the compliment."

Speaking of Tiger General, Liu Bei immediately became interested, and then chatted with Ma Di about the situation in Guanzhong.

Cai Yong stood up with a smile, and walked out with square steps.His point of view is consistent with that of Ma Di, and he is in favor of giving up military power to Liu Bei.

Cai Yong didn't know anything about war, and he also knew that Cao Cao's purpose in appointing him as the captain of Sili was to let Ma Di come to Guanzhong for a while and maintain the weak control left by the imperial court here.Instead of this, it is better to give up the military power to the right person, and it would be good for him to be a civil servant.

Thinking so, Cai Yong happily left the main hall.

Liu Bei waved his hand to indicate that the four major ministries would step back and move freely, and sat next to Ma Di, and began to talk about it from the time he received the letter...

The two people, who were 20 years apart, hit it off and talked from day to day, and that's the end of the day.

From Liu Bei's narration, Ma Di quickly understood why Zhao Yun and Tai Shici would follow Liu Bei to Guanzhong.

Because Taishi Ci had nowhere to go, Liu Bei happened to extend a thick and long olive branch to him, so he recognized him as the lord and followed him all the way here; Zhao Yun was fooled by Liu Bei, and his identity is still Gongsun Zan The identity of the general.
