The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 315 Meeting Ma Xian
There was a look of struggle on Ma Xian's face. After a long silence, he finally said: "Thank you for the recommendation, teacher. I am willing to serve under General Li."

"Okay, go to the Governor's Mansion to find General Li immediately, and tell him that I recommended you, and he will definitely use you again." Sima Hui smiled, but he was shocked in his heart, because it was exactly as Li Yuan expected.

After walking out of Lumen Academy, the calmness on Ma Xian's face gradually disappeared, and the uneasiness and tension gradually appeared, and he couldn't help muttering: "Why is this? Did Li Yuan see through my identity, or was Sima Hui see through it?" It seems that I still underestimated them too much."

Ma Xian came to the governor's mansion with a nervous mood, and was about to go in when he was stopped by two guards outside the door, one of the guards said: "Stop, the governor's mansion is an important place for business, idlers are not allowed to enter. "

"I am a student of Mr. Shui Jing, he recommended me to serve under General Li, and please inform me." Ma Xian said, clasping his fists.

"So it's Mr. Shui Jing's student, then wait a moment, I'll report it now." The guard heard that Sima Hui had sent him, so he didn't dare to delay, so he went to find Li Yuan immediately.

After a while, the guard came back, took Ma Xian in, walked to the door of the meeting hall and said, "General Li is inside, you can go in directly."

Ma Xian nodded, tidied up his clothes a little, then opened the door to enter, and saw that the meeting room was very large, but there were only three people sitting in it, and the one sitting in the main seat must be Li Yuan, and Ma Xian did not know the other two.

"Ma Xian in Hanoi has seen General Li." Ma Xian walked in and saluted Li Yuan.

"Are you Ma Xian? I heard that you were recommended by Mr. Shui Jing. Since you are recommended by Mr. Sima, it proves that you have extraordinary resourcefulness. I wonder how you compare with Kong Ming Shiyuan?" Li Yuan intentionally Asked, in fact, he had already told Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu about Ma Xian, so he specially asked them to come and observe together to see if they could see any clues.

"Kong Ming Shiyuan is far better than me." Although Ma Xian's words were modest, there was no hint of modesty from the tone of his voice.

"Compared to Yuan Zhi?" Li Yuan asked again.

"Yuanzhi can beat me too."

"Then what are you good at?" Li Yuan asked another way.

"There is nothing I'm particularly good at, but there's nothing I can't do." Ma Xian's answer sounds like he knows everything but is not good at it.

Li Yuan felt that Ma Xian said this on purpose. If it were someone else, he would wish to brag about how good he was. How could he not care like Ma Xian? Suddenly, he found that Ma Xian kept his head down and didn't dare to look at him. , said: "Ma Xian, why don't you raise your head, are you so afraid of me?"

Ma Xian raised his head slowly when he heard the words, it was indeed the eagle watching the wolf Gu, even Li Yuan was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Ma Xian's eyes, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu also saw that Ma Xian was different from ordinary people, No wonder Li Yuan was so suspicious.

Ma Xian was also a little shocked when he saw Li Yuan, because he had a very good memory. He remembered meeting Li Yuan in Lumen Academy three years ago, but he didn't know Li Yuan's identity at that time. At that time, Li Yuan pretended to be The students studying sat behind him.

"My lord, why don't you just let me ask a few questions." Xi Zhicai walked out with a smile.

"Okay, it's up to you to ask." Li Yuan nodded.

"Under Xi Zhicai, I heard that brother Ma is a disciple of Mr. Shui Jing. Now the lord's power spans Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Jingzhou, and his strength is the best among all heroes. However, whether it is Yuan Shao in Hebei, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, or Ma Teng in Xiliang , Jiangdong and Sun Ce are not easy to deal with, now that our army is surrounded by enemies, how should we deal with it?"

Xi Zhicai asked questions very well. He didn't ask Ma Xian what he would do and how resourceful he was like Li Yuan did, but asked questions based on the actual situation at the moment.

Ma Xian stared at Xi Zhicai. He had heard that Xi Zhicai was the number one adviser under Li Yuan's command. He was far-sighted and could always help Li Yuan through difficulties, so he didn't dare to underestimate him. He replied: "The general situation of the world is quite clear now. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are two tigers fighting each other, one will be wounded and the other will die, so they can't pose a threat to us for the time being. Xiliang Ma Teng is too far away from us, and Cao Cao is on the border with him. Even if he sends troops, he will only attack Cao Cao first, so there is no need to worry about it. With this concern, the only one who can pose a threat to us now is Sun Ce."

Xi Zhicai looked at Ma Xian with admiration after hearing this, because their next target was Sun Ce, but he still asked: "Our army joined forces with Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou not long ago, and now it is an alliance, so what about Sun Ce?" May be our enemy."

"The so-called alliance is very fragile in the face of interests. The reason why our army and Sun Ce are allied is for the interests of Jingzhou. Now that Liu Biao is dead, we have no common enemy, so we will soon become enemies, and Sun Ce is also It is impossible for a person with great ambition to be content with the status quo." Ma Xian analyzed it very well.

"But Sun Ce may not send troops against us. After all, we are stronger than him. There is still Jiaozhou in the south. Why didn't he attack Jiaozhou first and then attack us? Jiaozhou's emblem is obviously easier to deal with." Xi Zhicai Continue to refute, although he knows what Ma Xian said is right, but he wants to see how far Ma Xian can analyze it.

"Sun Ce can only attack Jiaozhou in the south, but Jiaozhou's scholar emblem has no ambition to compete for the world, and will not pose a threat to Sun Ce. Jiaozhou is not considered rich, and the terrain is complicated and the road is far away. Sun Ce's attack on Jiaozhou will not be too strong for him. A big improvement, and it will waste money, food and time of troops, he would definitely rather attack our army than attack the badge."

Xi Zhicai seemed to arouse Ma Xian's desire to win. Ma Xian continued: "He doesn't have to worry that Shi Hui will take advantage of the opportunity to send troops when he attacks our army, but he will worry that General Li will take advantage of the opportunity when he attacks Jiaozhou, because General Li is A person with ambitions in the world will never let go of an excellent opportunity to seize Jiangdong because of a temporary alliance."

"Thank you very much Brother Ma for your great opinion, I have been taught." Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and returned to his seat.

"Ma Xian, you really have a great talent. I will temporarily designate you as a long history and work in Xiapi to assist Zhicai and Wenhe in handling political affairs. What do you mean?" Although Li Yuan has not yet confirmed Ma Xian's true identity, he decided to send him He stayed to observe carefully. With the two great gods Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu sitting in charge, even if Ma Xian was Sima Yi, there was no need to worry.

"Thank you, my lord!" Ma Xian knelt down and thanked him.

"Get up, go back and pack up, and come to work tomorrow."

"It's the lord!" Ma Xian got up and left.

Just as Ma Xian was about to walk out of the door, Jia Xu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted: "Zhongda, please stay!"
