Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 515 Willing to give up! ! !

at the same time.

Another team of envoys sent by Ma Chao has also arrived in Chengdu, the capital of the Shu Kingdom, to see the King of Shu, Liu Bei.

Compared with Li Chen's lukewarm performance, Liu Bei's performance was much more enthusiastic. Liu Bei went out of the city to meet Ma Chao's emissary in person.

Today, among the only three remaining princes in the world, Li Chen is the most powerful. Therefore, for Li Chen, Ma Chao's refuge is just icing on the cake, dispensable.Li Chen didn't have that much desire for Ma Chao, if he could get the best, it was fine if he didn't get it.

However, Liu Bei is different.Among the three princes, Liu Bei is the weakest, and Liu Bei wants to strengthen his power.

However, the cake in the world is almost divided now, and it has reached the point where it cannot be divided.For Liu Bei, Ma Chao's coming to join him was simply a surprise.

Ma Chao's [-] troops, as well as generals including Ma Chao, for Liu Bei, that is a timely help.

Chengdu.

The Palace of the King of Shu.

Liu Bei personally welcomed Ma Chao's envoy into Bashu, and after entertaining them, he immediately summoned his civil servants and generals, and began to discuss what price to offer Ma Chao.

"Everyone, Ma Chao and his [-] army, I am sure to win. If you have any ideas, please tell me!" Liu Bei said eagerly.

Once he has Ma Chao's [-] troops, Liu Bei's power is not comparable to Li Chen's, but compared to the current Cao Cao, it is only slightly worse.

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan in his hand, and said with a slight smile, "King of Shu, it's not difficult to let Ma Chao vote. It depends on how reluctant you are, King of Shu."

"Military advisor, please tell me, I have nothing to be reluctant about!" Liu Bei said firmly.

Liu Bei has no other advantages, but one advantage, and that is willingness.

Liu Bei is well aware of the truth that he is reluctant to let his children not be caught by wolves, and he is reluctant to let his daughter-in-law not catch hooligans.

At the beginning, when Liu Bei was Prime Minister of Pingyuan, Tao Qian wanted to give him Xuzhou. Liu Bei didn't say anything, he abandoned Pingyuan County, and came to Xuzhou with his family.It's just a pity that Li Chen got ahead of him.

Later, Liu Bei managed to occupy the land of Beihai County and Zhuo County, and decisively abandoned the foundation of these two counties. After listening to Zhuge Liang's persuasion, he went straight to Bashu and started from scratch.

Among the princes in this world, if he is willing to give up, he must be Liu Bei who is the first.

"King of Shu, let's entrust Hanzhong to Ma Chao and make him a prefect of Hanzhong. Ma Chao will definitely come to vote." Zhuge Liang shook his goose feather fan and said.

Needless to say, Zhuge Liang is really generous.You know, the land of Bashu now occupied by Liu Bei is divided into three parts, Shuzhong, Nanzhong, and Hanzhong.

Feng Ma Chao as the prefect of Hanzhong, and hand over Hanzhong to Ma Chao to garrison, which is equivalent to handing over one-third of Bashu to Ma Chao.

"No, no!"

"This horse hasn't achieved an inch of merit, how can he be allowed to be the prefect of Hanzhong first, how can the soldiers below be convinced?" Without waiting for others to speak, Zhang Fei, who had a bad temper, spoke first.

Looking at Guan Yu, although he didn't say much, the expression on that red face seemed somewhat abnormal.

Obviously, Guan Yu didn't agree with Ma Chao's appointment as the prefect of Hanzhong.

As for Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, the two had just joined Liu Bei not long ago, so they did not speak out against it.

"Kong Ming, is it too much to be a Hanzhong?" Xu Shu asked Zhuge Liang.

"Yuan Zhi, this is also a helpless move!"

"If you want Ma Chao and the [-] Ma family army under his command, you have to commit to Hanzhong!"

"Since Ma Chao intends to abandon Xiliang, he must not only look for our family. Presumably, another team of Ma Chao's envoys is now talking with King Qin in Jinling!"

"Ma Chao is going to shop around! Now the world is divided into three, only Li Chen is the strongest. We can say that we don't have the slightest advantage over the King of Qin. Since we have no advantage, how can we let Ma Chao give up the strong to the weak."

"The only thing is to pay a high price!"

"I predict that Li Chen will not be able to offer Ma Chao the price of a county's land. Therefore, if we give him Hanzhong, he will definitely come to vote."

"However, if we are reluctant to part with Hanzhong, I am afraid that Ma Chao will vote for Qin!" Zhuge Liang talked eloquently.

Zhuge Liang has always been an exhaustive planner, and he must be more than [-]% sure of everything before he will make a move.This is a person who never wants to take risks.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was certain in his heart that as long as Hanzhong was offered as the price, Ma Chao would definitely come to vote.

Hanzhong, which is one-third of Bashu.Liu Bei was still thinking at this time, if Hanzhong was really given to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao has one hundred thousand Ma's troops under his command. If Ma Chao separatizes Hanzhong, what if he takes the opportunity to attack him?

Liu Bei looked sad, unable to make a decision, and he was willing to let Ma Chao be stationed in Hanzhong.However, he was afraid that Ma Chao would be unreliable!
"Military Master, do you think this Ma Mengqi can be relied upon?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang didn't speak bluntly, but smiled slightly, came to the side of the map, and said to Liu Bei: "Look, my lord, this is the location of Hanzhong."

"Hanzhong is bordered by Cao Cao's territory, but Ma Chao has a vengeance with Cao Cao to kill his father. If Ma Chao dares to rebel, we can cut off his retreat. At that time, Ma Chao will definitely die at the hands of Cao Cao."

"So, unless Ma Chao doesn't want to avenge his father and can resolve his grievances with Cao Cao, Ma Chao will definitely not rebel."

"Letting Ma Chao defend Hanzhong is to use [-] Ma's troops to resist the pressure of Cao Cao in the north for us."

Zhuge Liang's words can be said to have enlightened Liu Bei.Yes, if Ma Chao is arranged elsewhere, then he still needs to worry about whether Ma Chao will turn against him.

The only thing is, if Ma Chao is arranged in Hanzhong, there is no need to worry about Ma Chao's rebellion.Hanzhong, which is the border with Cao Cao.Ma Chao was stationed in Hanzhong. He and Cao Cao had a feud against their father, and the conflict between the two could not be resolved at all.

"The military division thought it over properly, and I have made up my mind, and I will appoint Ma Chao as the prefect of Hanzhong!" Liu Bei said firmly.

Ma Chao and the [-] Ma family troops are really important to Liu Bei. As Liu Bei said, he is bound to win.

As long as it can be confirmed that after giving Hanzhong to Ma Chao, Ma Chao will not turn against him, then it doesn't matter if Hanzhong is given to him.

As soon as Liu Bei said this, it was a certainty.Naturally, no one dared to refute Liu Bei among the civil servants and military generals in the room.Only Zhang Fei felt that the eldest brother was a little too flattering.

After Liu Bei made a decision, Dang even began to negotiate with Xiliang on this condition.I heard that Liu Bei was going to hand over Hanzhong to Ma Chao as his garrison.Moreover, Ma Chao was still in charge of Xiliang's [-] troops.This condition couldn't help but make the Xiliang envoy feel that his heart is really throbbing.
