Chapter 207 Mochou has no confidants(1/2)
Ma Chao has a sister, who is eighteen years old and named Ma Wenlu.
According to him, Ma Wenlu and Ma Chao were born from the same mother, half Qiang and half Han, and were born very touchingly.
Unfortunately, Liu Chuang has never seen him. Even if he has seen him, he will not be too interested... The reason is very simple. He already has four wives at home and doesn't want to mess with her anymore. Moreover, Ma Chao also said that he would never agree and let Ma Wenlu be a child for Liu Chuang.
It tastes so small, it's not good.
This is the case with the mother of Ma Chao and his sister. How could he let Ma Wenlu repeat the same mistake?
Even if Liu Chuang is his brother, he would not agree to this marriage.
Therefore, Ma Wenlu's affairs became a topic. After talking about it, neither Ma Chao nor Liu Chuang took it seriously.

Cao Cao was inspecting Yingchuan. After receiving the news, he rushed back to Xudu at night.
After listening to Xun Yu's report to him, Cao Cao couldn't help but nod and praised Xun Yu for handling this matter very properly.
"It's better to let Wei Mi go back to Chenliu and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.
Although there is no evidence to prove that it was instructed by the Wei family, I believe everyone knows that it is impossible to have anything to do with the Wei family. If he continues to stay in Xudu, he may only be impeached. News also came from the palace that His Majesty was very dissatisfied with the Wei family."
"Lord, what should Liu Chuang do?"
"Um?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "After he returned home, many people came to visit him. Among them, there were no famous scholars in Yuzhou.
Moreover, during this time he has met many people in Xudu. If this continues, wouldn’t it be a problem if he forms a clique and becomes arrogant? Moreover, he is very generous. The money he rewards him is distributed to the market, so he has a very good reputation in Xudu. Some even call him "Little Mengchangjun". If this continues, his energy in Xudu will become greater and greater."
When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned.
This is indeed a troublesome thing... Liu Chuang cannot kill him, but he cannot sit idly by and watch him grow stronger.
Although most of the people Liu Chuang met were powerless and not powerful, and among them, they were not poor people. But he was not a person like Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and Yang Biao. He had soldiers and horses in his hand, and the Beihai Kingdom was even stronger. This also made many poor people yearn for Liu Chuang. In addition, he was generous and refused to accept everyone. His reputation in Xudu became increasingly great, and a powerful force would gradually form.
"Fengxiao, what should you do when you look at this matter?"
Guo Jia sat aside, silent.
Hearing Cao Cao asks, he raised his head, looked at Xun Yu, sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, don't let Liu Mengyan stay in Xudu anymore. This guy is good at the market and grows from the grassroots. It is easy to be recognized by the people. In addition, as the emperor's uncle, he is even more praised by many people. The lord cannot harm his life now. Letting him stay in Xudu is a big trouble after all."
Xun Yu's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile flashed.
"Then Fengxiao thought, what should we do?"
"Sometimes ago, did Miaocai write to say that the tomb of Zhongling Hou and his wife had been built?
As a son, he still needs to preside over the funeral ceremony. This time he brought people to fight with others on the long street, which almost caused a disaster... so he asked him to go back and arrange a burial, and then stayed in Yingchuan. At the same time, General Miaocai was asked to take care of him strictly. If there were any abnormal movements, he could make a decision on his own. Jia thought that with General Miaocai's talent, it would be a big problem to take care of Liu Chuang, and he could also slaughter his will."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he looked at Xun Yu.
But Xun Yu nodded slightly, showing admiration.
Cao Cao thought about it and found it quite reasonable, so he gently rubbed his temples and said, "Since that's the case, let him go back to Changshe to live in seclusion."
He sighed and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed a problem if you don't accept discipline here.
I originally wanted to take him to the war in March, but now it seems that if he is allowed to enter the army, he may be like a fish in water, and he must be careful. Gongren, please send someone to send me a message to Miaocai immediately to let him pay more attention to Chuang'er. If there is any abnormal movement, he will kill him without any quarrel..."
Kill without any slightest!
Xun Yu's eyes twitched for a moment, and he immediately calmed down.
"Since that's the case, let Yuan Chang talk to him."
Cao Cao nodded and sighed.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. I thought Xuzhou was pacified and there would be a short rest, but I didn't want Hanoi to cause trouble... Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang was killed by his general Yang Ri last year. Now Lieutenant General Yu Gu killed Yang Ri again, and was preparing to surrender Yuan Benchu and stay in the shooting dog.
Now, Gongsun Zan's worries have been solved, and sooner or later I will have a fight with me.
If I surrender to Benchu, then my Hanoi will be in danger... I have decided to send troops to Hanoi and completely control Hanoi. Also, I heard that Yuan Shu was in contact with Yuan Shao and wanted to join Yuan Shao. This matter was left to Wen Ruo to deal with, and it depends on what Yuan Shao had to do.
Another thing is that Zike sent someone to deliver a letter. Beihai Kingdom has been quite unstable recently. It is said that Guan Hai and others gathered troops in Gaomi, but they don’t know what the purpose is... Beihai Kingdom must be taken back as soon as possible. The longer the time is, the more troublesome it will be. It may be recruited by Yuan Shao. Therefore, I want Zi Xiao to take over Taishan County on behalf of Zike, join forces with Zang Ba, launch an offensive against Beihai Kingdom, and win Gaomi in one fell swoop."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, his eyes were burning.
He stared at Xun Yu and Guo Jia and said, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"
Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "If the lord wants to take over the Beihai Kingdom, it will not be difficult.
However, the most urgent task is to stabilize Hanoi and eliminate the troops of Wugu. Otherwise, once Yuan Shao obtains the land of Hanoi, breaks the Hulao Pass and reaches Xudu, it is indeed a bit dangerous. As for Beihai Kingdom, Zixiao is the most suitable to go there, but if you want to defeat the enemy, you still need to be prepared. I suggest that the lord set Hanoi first, and I will help Zixiao prepare in Mount Tai. After Hanoi is pacified, you will take Beihai Kingdom in one fell swoop."
With Cao Cao's current situation, it is indeed not suitable for two-sided combat.
He glanced at Xun Yu with great appreciation. He felt that the cracks caused by Liu Chuang and Xun Yu seemed to be bridged all of a sudden.
"Since that's the case, please Wenruo!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In February of the fourth year of Jian'an, Ma Teng led his troops back to Xiliang.
Liu Chuang took Tai Shixiang to see Ma Chao off at Shili Pavilion.
Ma Teng was also shocked when he saw Liu Chuang appear suddenly. Because he had received the news, Liu Chuang signed a robbery! According to the previous agreement, everyone should no longer contact each other. When Liu Chuang appeared, Ma Teng unexpectedly had a son-in-law. After asking, he realized that Liu Chuang and Ma Chao were brothers. Ma Teng was even more surprised. Unexpectedly, his eldest son, whom he had never looked down upon, became brothers with Liu Chuang?
What does this mean?
Ma Chao and Liu Chuang have such a relationship, and they will probably be recognized by the Central Plains gentry soon.
Whether to accept or not is one thing, but at least they will recognize Ma Chao's existence. Isn't this recognition the result of Ma Teng's hard pursuit? This time he came to Xudu, of course he knew the xenophobia of the Central Plains. Although he had a close relationship, not many people looked at him in front of him. If he had not signed the edict of clothing and belts, even Dong Cheng and others might not have really given him a good look.
After General Fu Bo Ma Yuan...
That's just a joke!
Ma Teng himself knew very well how true his identity as a star general was.
If he was not holding troops and brave and good at fighting, the Guanzhong gentry would not even treat him directly.
To put it bluntly, he was just a wood-cutting boy and had rebelled... How could those Guanzhong gentry talk to him?
In contrast, the status of another prince of Liangzhou, Han Sui, is far higher than that of Ma Teng.
Even in a certain salary, Han Sui was even recognized by the gentry of Liangzhou. The reason was that Han Sui was born in a genius and had a prestige and status in Liangzhou that was far stronger than Ma Teng. Moreover, Han Sui had served as a staff member of the general He Jin and offered suggestions to kill the ten regular attendants. Later, because He Jin refused to adopt it, he returned to Xiliang. Although such an inconspicuous experience was enough to make people list him as a famous scholar.
Ma Teng broke his head and wanted to be recognized by the gentry, but he was reluctant to get the path.
Now Ma Chao and Liu Chuang have a good relationship...
Ma Teng felt that perhaps his attitude towards Ma Chao could make some changes.
"Brother, you should be more careful when you are in a place where tigers and wolves are there.
You are sensitive and cannot be guaranteed to be calculating. I am very worried when I leave. I know that my brother is under the command of a brave general. But in Xudu, I still have no choice but to keep him alone. I told Ling Ming yesterday that he would stay with his brother for the time being. He is unparalleled in courage, but he can never do everything himself. Ling Ming is extremely brave and keeping him by your side can also solve some troubles for you. I hope he will not refuse."
Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment!
Does Ma Chao actually want to give Pang De to me?
Although Liu Chuang had gathered many famous generals under his command, this is Pang De! Pang De, who was able to fight Guan Erye in history and was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. Liu Chuang also admired Pang De very much, and loved him very much in his previous life.
Unexpectedly, Ma Chao actually sent such a general to his command.
This affection also touched Liu Chuang.
"Ling Ming, would you like to stay and help me?"
"The emperor's uncle and the eldest son are close friends, and they are noble people.
De is willing to work hard for the emperor’s uncle…but if the eldest son summons him in the future, De will still need to return it. At that time, please do not stop him.”
"Ling Ming, it is true to be loyal and righteous."
Of course, Liu Chuang would not object and agreed immediately.
Ma Chao and Liu Chuang bowed farewell again, and returned to our formation with Ma Daiyi reluctantly.
Liu Chuang said goodbye to Ma Teng again, watched Ma Teng lead the team away with Pang De and Tai Shixiang, and an inexplicable feeling of melancholy arose in his heart.
He suddenly rode his horse and whispered to Ma Chao: "The yellow clouds and sunshine are thousands of miles away, and the north wind blows the geese are scattered. Don't worry about the lack of friends on the road ahead, and no one in the world knows you... When you go to Xiliang, take care of yourself. If you are destined, see you and my brother! Brother, take care of yourself!"
Liu Chuang's voice was loud and it came into Ma Chao's ears.
Ma Chao's body trembled, a warm feeling flowed in his heart, a sore nose, and two lines of hot tears shed.
He turned his horse's head, came out of the team, immediately bowed to Liu Chuang's figure, and then returned to the team and walked away in a hurry.
Don’t worry about having no friends in the future, no one in the world knows you!
Being praised by Meng Yan is enough to surpass this life...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After seeing off Ma Chao, Liu Chuang took Pang De Taishixiang back to Beixuli's home.
He was not in a good mood. It was rare to have a brother, but he had to be thousands of miles apart. I don’t know when he would meet again. Liu Chuang was a little envious of Liu Bei! In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei and the other two had been with each other in the early stages. But he still had to continue working hard alone.
This feeling of loneliness made him feel quite uncomfortable.
The next day, Liu Chuang got up a little late and was slightly depressed.
To be continued...
