It can be said that Liu Bei has not done anything extraordinary to the Han Dynasty until now. On the contrary, he has been working hard to restore the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, even if some princes spread rumors that Liu Bei had the idea of replacing him, there is no evidence at all. On the contrary, Liu Bei has actually been working hard to consolidate the foundation of the Han Dynasty. This is recognized by all wise men, including Cao Cao.
They were curious about where Liu Bei's money and food came from.
This is also the source of their confidence that they are sure to delay Liu Bei. I don’t ask you to give up the attack completely, but the emperor’s edict, even if he knew there was something fishy in it, Liu Bei would still hesitate for a moment because of his loyalty. And now in Xia Houyuan’s view, this
The effect of the sealing edict is astonishing.
Later, at Liu Bei's invitation, Xia Houyuan, Ma Teng and the emperor's envoys all followed Liu Bei into Yecheng. As for the edict sent to Yuan Tan, it was already on its way, with Cai Yang escorting another angel.
And this edict was accompanied by Cao Cao's secret letter.
Xia Houyuan has not been in a good mood since he entered the city. In addition to Zhang Fei's black face, he has noticed many dangerous people. None of the generals surrounding Liu Bei has a fuel-efficient lamp.
As for Ma Chao, he looked around carelessly. Ma Chao's first feeling for a crowded city like Yecheng was that he was shocked. There were so many people there at the border of Fufeng, and Chang'an was in ruins. Although Zhong Yao had planned it, it had already
Without the atmosphere of an imperial capital, how could it be as prosperous as Yecheng?
"I think this is the son of General Ma. He is indeed a heroic young man." Just as Ma Chao was looking around, Liu Bei's attention suddenly turned around.
"You shouldn't say this. I'm a naughty dog. I hope Mr. Xuande will forgive you." Ma Teng immediately greeted Liu Bei. He had already noticed the gap between himself and Liu Bei after the previous meeting, so he patted Ma Chao and motioned Ma Chao to greet Liu Bei.
"Ma Chao, Xiliang, Ma Mengqi has met Duke Xuande." Ma Chao did not show any disrespect this time, and was extremely respectful, while Xia Houyuan did not show any special expression, as if there was harmony between the three parties.
"Okay, okay." Liu Bei took Ma Chao's hand. Then he pulled Fazheng over, "Xiaozhi, you and Meng Qi are about the same age, and you are also outstanding in your own ranks. We complement each other in culture and martial arts. Let's communicate more."
two."
It was obvious that Liu Bei hoped that Fazheng would not cause trouble for Ma Chao, but could put aside his personal grudges and work hard for the Han Dynasty. Fazheng immediately understood Liu Bei's thoughts and stretched out his hand towards Ma Chao with a smile, sweeping away his previous resentment.
Ma Chao, on the other hand, was extremely hesitant. He had been having a headache about Fazheng for a while. He would let it go as soon as he could. Why did he always feel a little cold when he saw the other person's smile?
"That boy was treated badly by Xiaozhi." Jia Xu's voice appeared in Guo Jia's ears, while Guo Jia had a face.
"Xiao Nao seems to have given the other party a headache." Li You's voice appeared in Chen Xi's ears, and Chen Xi pursed his lips.
"I guess he was bored and used Cao Cao to suppress the other party." Guo Jia pulled a face and didn't move his mouth, but Jia Xu could hear his voice clearly.
"Sure enough, he is too busy. Find something for him to do." Chen Xi curled his lips, "Next, let him continue to work with Zijing for construction. Zijing will do the north, and he and Kong Ming will do the south. Whoever can do it will do it.
.”
"It seems that this is your business." Li You was silent for a while and then said, "Since you don't have to do construction, then you and I and Wen He will study the development north of Youzhou. There are a lot of troubles there."
Li You's sad voice reached Chen Xi's ears. In addition to bringing peace to all the people in this world, what else can make Li You attracted? I'm afraid it's something like the Northeast Plains north of Youzhou.
The plan is to make the entire nation prosperous and strong, and other things are really not important to Li You now.
At this moment, Fazheng chuckled again and again and stretched out his hand towards Ma Chao, as if all the previous festivals had turned into smoke in this smile.
"Meng Qi, the resentment between you and me before is actually clear to you and me. The daughters of the Wang family and the Jiang family have no strength to struggle. It is my destiny that Jiang Ying can come, and it is also my destiny that the Wang family's daughter cannot come. Because of a woman, I have to stop her.
The loyalty of the Han Dynasty is not worth it. Meng Qike is willing to forget his grudges with a smile." Fa Zheng stretched out his hand in the direction of Ma Chao and chuckled. The gentleness of his words was completely different from the previous arrogance.
Ma Chao opened his mouth, but in the end he did not reach out his hand. Although he did not know that he would reach out now and Fazheng would never care about the past. Just like Fazheng said before, he was just bored and wanted to find someone to express his anger to.
That’s all, it’s just that the Ma family happened to bump into it,
But can we just smile away and forget our grudges? Ma Chao can't do it. He is not as cool as Fazheng. After all, Fazheng has already stood too high. It is so high that it is difficult to throw dirty water on Fazheng. And he, Ma Chao, is still too tall.
did not reach such heights,
Fazheng's casual behavior left Ma Chao completely helpless. After Fazheng let go, could he let go of his arrogance? Can he let go of everything he had done before under Fazheng's act of almost charity? He also has his own arrogance.
Ah, the Ma family is not even qualified to express their anger to the other party. What is the difference between letting go and giving alms?
"I also ask Mr. Xuande to forgive Ma Chao and Meng Lang, and I also ask Brother Xiaozhi to forgive Ma Chao for his arrogance." Ma Chao said slowly. At this moment, the heavy burden on his heart seemed to suddenly disappear, and then it seemed to become heavier again.
Liu Bei looked slightly embarrassed, but he didn't say anything more and continued to introduce Ye City to Ma Teng and Xia Houyuan.
Ma Teng's face was obviously ugly. Such a good opportunity was actually let go by his ignorant son. Didn't you feel the power of Fazheng on the road before?
"Marquis Tai Ting, how about I take care of this matter on your behalf? Please forgive me for being so reckless." Seeing that Ma Chao was really ignorant, Ma Teng sighed and said, to be honest, Ma Teng really did it for Ma Chao's good.
"Marquis Huaili, there is no need to be like this." Fazheng shook his head and did not answer the question. However, if he did not answer the question under such circumstances, it means that Fazheng did not want to mention it again, and the so-called "acting for someone" is no longer valid.
Xia Houyuan glanced at Fazheng and Ma Chao. Before, he was a little worried that Ma Chao and Fazheng would forget their grudges with a smile, but he didn't expect such a result.
"I said I will repay you one day!" Ma Chao's cold and arrogant voice reached Fazheng's ears, "Before this, you can be as angry as you want!"
"I have no anger left, and I don't want to continue being bored..." Fazheng looked back at Ma Chao, and his calm voice reached Ma Chao's ears.
Fazheng's indifferent answer made Ma Chao feel the sting even more. If Fazheng still had the intention of targeting, Ma Chao might still accept Liu Bei's reconciliation, but in this situation, is there any meaning of reconciliation? (To be continued.)
