425. Chapter 425 Diplomacy III(1/2)
The intrigue that occurred in the lobby of the Fulu County Government Office was certainly something Zeng Yu never expected!
However, at this time, Zeng Yu was facing an unexpected visitor and had no time to talk about things in Jiuquan County!
Ma Dai! The leader of the Ma family! Putting aside the grudges between Zeng Yu and the Ma family, he was Zeng Yu’s immediate boss in the early days of his business!
Back then, Zeng Yu developed in Chengji City under Tianshui County, and the governor of Tianshui County at that time was Ma Dai!
Seeing his immediate boss, Zeng Yu's expression was full of mixed emotions, and memories of the past flooded into his mind! Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed since he came to this era!
"What? Mr. Jinzhi, you seem to be very surprised?" Zeng Yu didn't wait for long to think about it. After a while, he saw Ma Dai walking into the house. He found a seat and sat down without saying hello, and went in and out.
He felt as comfortable as entering his own house. He looked at Zeng Yu's somewhat dull expression and said playfully.
Ma Dai, who is dressed in casual clothes, is about thirty years old, has a handsome face, and looks like a handsome young man. He is also very easy-going. He is also called Zeng Yu directly by his nickname.
Is this guy a natural veteran? Zeng Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Seeing my old boss from many years ago, I naturally have mixed feelings and lose my temper. I hope Brother Bozhan won't be offended!"
The identities of Zeng Yu and Ma Dai can be considered equal. Since Ma Dai is naturally familiar with each other, Zeng Yu is also familiar with them, and they also use the two names to commensurate with each other.
In this way, the distance between the two people has become much closer.
This was exactly what Ma Dai wanted. He came here just to impress Zeng Yu so that he could get the important position of Tianshui County Governor.
No, seeing Zeng Yu sighing, Ma Dai also made a sighing look and said: "My old boss many years ago! It's rare that Brother Jin can still remember the little interaction with our Ma family back then! It's been so many years! This time has passed in a blink of an eye.
It’s over! I remember it like it was yesterday!”
Zeng Yu saw that Ma Dai was quite interesting. They were obviously enemies of each other and had attacked each other many times. However, they came here this time without even mentioning a word. They talked about their friendship. This is really a wonderful thing in the world!
This is the effect of power, right? Even the announced governor of a state, as powerful as the Ma family, has to respect it.
Politics is like this, you must know how to compromise and give in!
Now that the Ma family has begun to compromise and give in, Zeng Yu doesn't want to go too far and tear off this superficial harmony. After all, Zeng Yu doesn't have the strength yet!
Defeated Ma Chao twice? The propaganda was exaggerated to gain the approval of the people! But what about the reality? The first time, Zeng Yu relied on defending the city and relying on internal strife among the refugees to defeat Ma Chao!
The second time, he spent all his manpower and material resources on Ma Chao's journey to delay Ma Chao's progress! Zeng Yu spent no less than a million gold and materials just to move the people in three counties!
Both times, Zeng Yu tried his best to keep Ma Chao out of the border!
The latest intelligence from the pro-military captain's palace came. Yan Xing actually gathered another 200,000 Xiongnu wolf cavalry to make a comeback, but was defeated by Ma Chao and 30,000 troops! Even Yan Xing, a top-notch general, suffered the same fate. It is conceivable that
But he knew that if he faced the Liangzhou God of War head-on, the end would be disastrous!
If we can turn conflicts into friendship, that would be the best thing!
Of course, many things must be negotiated in conjunction with the general trend of the world and the agreement with Cao Cao. Otherwise, we will not be able to please the Ma family, but will arouse the hatred of Cao Cao and other powerful forces in the world. That would really be a waste of money.
This measure must be grasped well!
Can one's mind wander while doing household chores? It seems that his arrival brought a lot of surprise to Master Zhou Mu! Ma Dai looked at Zeng Yu's sudden distraction and chuckled playfully, but was not in a hurry and continued to carry on the work alone.
I picked up the tea cup and began to taste it leisurely, making "tsk tsk" sounds from time to time.
Sitting on the Grand Master's chair, Zeng Yu's mind turned over and over again. After sorting out the stakes, his eyes flickered for a moment before he recovered: "Brother Bo Zhan laughed. Things have been busy this year and I always fall into a state of distraction.
! What a shame!"
"Haha! It's understandable that Lord Zhou Mu is busy with things!" Ma Dai smiled and said: "Brother Jin, this Liangzhou has been deserted for many years since our Ma family and Duke Wen Yue came to Beijing! Among them, there is Yang
Fu, Yan Xing, Su Ze and other county guards are attacking each other, making the people miserable! All of this is in ruins, just waiting for you, the state shepherd, to revive it!"
"Thank you, thank you! This kid has little talent and little knowledge, so it's hard for him to take on such a heavy responsibility!" Zeng Yu blinked and jumped to the Ma family: "The emperor canonizes the state as a pastor. This mission is important! No matter how difficult it is! I can only close my eyes.
Go hard! Only
It requires the full support of the adults in each county! Especially Meng Qigong, who is in Tianshui County. He is the famous God of War in Liangzhou! He is the most prestigious person in Liangzhou. If he can get his support, the boy's life will be natural.
It will be much easier!”
Zeng Yu's half-literate speech was easy to understand, but Ma Dai was still not used to it! Ma Dai secretly laughed, this stranger became the state shepherd, this was the first time in history!
The imperial court claimed that he had a distinguished family background.
Gentlemen, when you see the state pastor they helped up with all their strength, he is talking half-literate words, and you don’t know what to think! How can a foreigner without any background control the power of a state and rank among the princes? This is a miracle.
Big joke!
Mocking secretly, Ma Dai was not idle: "Of course, there is a decree from the imperial court, and everyone in our Ma family heartily supports Brother Jin's governance in Liangzhou! The same goes for my brother Ma Chao!"
Previously, due to private grudges, I misunderstood Brother Jin and got into a fight. I hope you can forgive me!"
Zeng Yu smiled and said: "Since the Ma family can also recognize me, Zeng Yu, this is a blessing! It was only after taking over the state animal husbandry that I realized that there are many intricacies of government affairs, especially since each county in Liangzhou has its own independent
It would be very difficult for soldiers and horses to be twisted into a single thread and all act under the decree of the imperial court! If the decree cannot be passed, governance
There’s no way to start! Brother Bo Zhan also served as the governor of Tianshui County, so he must have a lot of experience in executing government orders! Moreover, your Ma family is one of the best in Liangzhou! With you supporting me, we feel at ease.
A lot! But, I don’t know about these supports, where are you going to start with? Let the kid be prepared!”
What a Zeng Yu! You're so rude! It was just a polite word, but he actually used this sentence to come over? Directly ask where to start supporting?
This directness caused a flash of anger in Ma Dai's eyes. This guy didn't even learn the courtesy in official circles! Can he also become a Fangzhou shepherd?
Ma Dai, on the other hand, wanted to ask for something, so he didn't want to worry about it, otherwise he wouldn't have come here in person.
He shook his head and pointed at Zeng Yu and said with a smile: "Brother Jin, are you not polite to me at all?"
This means that Zeng Yu is too blunt!
"Haha, brother Bozhan, you are the mainstay of the Ma family and a great talent in Liangzhou! I take everything you say as the truth!" Zeng Yu also sarcastically said, how could you not be so straightforward?
Can you tell what your purpose is? This ancient man just likes to wander around in the fog, unable to figure out the real meaning for a long time!
Ma Dai shook his head and said: "Come on, my Lord Zhou Mu! We don't want to go around and around. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace! Let's just say it! As long as you agree to a few conditions of our Ma family
! Regarding your future decrees in Liangzhou, we, the Ma family, cannot guarantee that they will pass! However, in Tianshui County, your decrees will be more effective than today’s imperial edict!"
The boss is here? Zeng Yu asked with great interest: "Brother Bozhan, what are the conditions? So important? Do you have to come from Tianshui County in person?"
The topic got serious, and Ma Dai's face became serious. The first question he asked caught Zeng Yu by surprise: "Brother Jin, do you have a private agreement with Mr. Cao? How about containing our Ma family?"
Development in Liangzhou, etc.?”
This question really caught Zeng Yu a little off guard. This secret matter was brought out in the open, and the suffering owner came to talk to him face to face. This kind of feeling was extremely bad!
Zeng Yu definitely couldn't admit it. You must know that the agreement between Cao Cao and him stated that he was specifically asked to force the development of the Ma family and to have the Ma family transfer generals to Liangzhou. There was something wrong with this.
thought!
This is Cao Cao's plan to cut off the roots of the Ma family. All the generals have been transferred to Liangzhou. How many members of the Ma family in Xuchang can be left? The meaning is self-evident!
Now, the Ma family has sent several generals to Liangzhou. Although Zeng Yu has not started to force them, they have already arrived in Liangzhou! If they admit their connection with Cao Cao, when something happens to the Ma family in Xuchang,
These generals put the blame on him and fought tooth and nail for revenge! That's not easy to live with!
Thinking of this, Zeng Yu quickly replied: "Brother Bozhan, this Cao Cao is a power in Xuzhou, and I am a power in Liangzhou, how can we have anything to do with it? You are kidding!"
A hint of a smile appeared on Ma Dai's face and he said: "Thief Cao is the number one traitor in the world! Brother Jin, if you really associate with him, you may not get any benefits! I also heard rumors among the people that a few days ago
When all the great people in the world gathered in Chengji, the old thief Xiahou offered his full support to Brother Jin!"
"Brother Bozhan, you are joking! Even if we have friendship, it is just some daily etiquette on the surface!" Zeng Yu's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he was a little sulky in his heart. The pro-military captain's mansion actually let the Ma family
The spies found out such an important piece of news! And even the generals of the Ma family couldn't figure it out when they came to Liangzhou! The pro-military captain's mansion was a little passive and sabotaged!
Fortunately, the Ma family sent generals to Liangzhou this time, but they did not force themselves before Zeng Yu and Wei Kang discussed. Otherwise, if something happened to Xuchang, the Ma family might really settle the score.
On your own head!
Ma Dai clapped his hands and said: "Brother Jin, if you say this, then I am relieved! Our Ma family and Cao Cao are not at odds with each other! If this matter is confirmed, then we will have the possibility of cooperation in the future!" In Fulu
The intrigue that occurred in the lobby of the county government office was certainly something Zeng Yu never expected!
