Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Biao carefully weighed the pros and cons, but finally did not dare to fall out with Ma Chao, and these supplies could solve his urgent need. He pondered for a moment and said: "Prefect Huang's words are reasonable, and now we are in a difficult situation! Ma Chao cannot be offended, and Yuan Shao must win over him."  , just wait for the two sides to fight with all their strength, then you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Everyone claimed that it was, Kuai Liang moved his lips, but finally did not say anything.  Three days later, Liu Biao had just sent Chen Qun away when he sent Kuai Yue as envoy to Yuan Shao with a gift of one hundred catties of gold, ten jade belts and fifty pearls.  When Yuan Shao heard that Ma Chao strongly supported Liu Biao, he already suspected that Liu Biao had defected to Ma Chao.  But this time Liu Biao unexpectedly sent an envoy to deliver a heavy gift, which made him a little at a loss.  Kuai Yue didn't want to play fancy things. He immediately explained what Ma Chao meant and expressed his attitude on Liu Biao's behalf. The two families put aside their past grudges and did not invade each other.  Yuan Shao inquired carefully and found no clues, but he did not dare to agree to the matter easily, so he could only explain it with ambiguous words.  Afterwards, Yuan Shao immediately anxiously discussed the matter with his advisers.  Everyone was talking after hearing this, and Guo Tu said: "Ma Chao's move is nothing more than an attempt to win over Liu Biao and capture Jingzhou without any bloodshed. However, Liu Biao neither wants to join Ma Chao nor join the lord's horse-seeking alliance, and intends to live alone."  The Lord should focus on important matters and let Liu Biao go for the time being. If he can defeat Ma Chao, Liu Biao will surrender without a fight! "Yuan Shao nodded and said: "That's right! The top priority is to send troops to drive Ma Chao back to Xiliang.  The merits of King Jianqin are really troublesome! And Liu Biao is just a guarding dog, he can be destroyed with just one hand!" "My lord, you can't!" Feng Ji quickly stood up to object.  He held his fist and said, "My lord, if you want to attack Ma Chao, where should you send your troops?" Yuan Shao confidently said: "I have an army of one million, and I will send troops from Shouchun to Xuzhou and Qingzhou. As soon as I capture Jizhou and Bingzhou, Ma Chao will be gone.  "Feng Ji said: "Although my lord has an army of millions, most of it is a mob, and it is extremely difficult to supply. However, Ma Chao has strong soldiers and horses, full of food and fodder, and a lot of talents under his command. He also has the popularity of the Yellow River and Xiangyang cannon.  We have such a sharp weapon in hand! Moreover, we have already deployed heavy troops in important strongholds in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and the Yellow River. How dare your lord dare to claim victory so easily?" Yuan Shao was very unhappy when he heard this, and frowned: "According to Yuan Tu, what should I do?  ?" Feng Ji said: "There is a folk song circulating in Shouchun City recently. Think about it carefully. " "Oh! This is happening!" Yuan Shao was quite curious.  He continued: "Yuan Tu is trying to say something!" Feng Ji said: "In the past, there was a farmer Zhang San who accidentally got three hundred taels of silver. He buried it underground and set up a wooden sign on the ground. There was a message on it that read: 'This place  No three hundred taels of silver. That night, Wang Er next door stole the silver. He was afraid that Zhang San would come to the door, so he left a note on the door: "Wang Er next door never stole it." The folk song goes: There is no three hundred taels of silver here.  , Wang Er next door did not steal. It is a metaphor for trying to conceal the matter, but it was exposed instead." "What a treacherous person Ma Chao is, how could he give such valuables to Liu Biao for no reason?  Not bad, Liu Biaoding has already joined Ma Chao. As long as the lord and Ma Chao fight with all their strength, he can serve as one of Ma Chao's surprise troops to attack Runan and Shouchun. By then, the lord will not be able to care about each other, and the situation will be critical! " Yuan Shao looked at him when he heard this!  As soon as he changed, he stood up and threw the gold and jewelry sent by Liu Biao to the ground, and said angrily: "You Liu Jingsheng! I wanted to let you go, but I was almost deceived by you! I swear to kill him!" Others!  When the counselors heard what he said, they felt it was reasonable and said: "Lord, calm down, this is Ma Chao's plan to ambush his troops! Now that God has favored him, how can he fall into Ma Chao's plan?" Yuan Shao nodded, secretly calling out the danger, and suddenly  He said loudly: "Come here! Immediately take down all the owl heads including Kuai Yue and others. Send the heads to Xiangyang and return them to Liu Biao. I will send troops to Jingzhou soon!" There were warriors who had already received the order and were about to go to get them.  , Feng Ji quickly stood up and objected loudly: "Lord, calm down, this is absolutely impossible!" Yuan Shao said: "Since Liu Biao has surrendered to Ma Chao, attacking Liu Biao means attacking Ma Chao, why not?" Feng Ji said: "  It's natural for the princess to send troops to Liu Biao, but she can't fall out with Liu Biao now. She needs to think about it in the long term. "Yuan Shao frowned and said, "How can I say this?" Feng Ji said: "My lord, there are many benefits to sending troops to Jingzhou. If I go down, I can attack Jingzhou directly.  Luoyang is one of the reasons why Ma Chao's heavy troops deployed in Xuzhou and along the Yellow River are useless; the people of Jingzhou are disorganized, the military strength is relatively weak, and there are no natural dangers to defend. If the lord attacks Jingzhou with all his strength, Liu Biao can be captured alive in less than three months.  , this is the second one; if the lord sends troops to Jingzhou, Ma Chao will definitely send troops to rescue him. At that time, Jingzhou will be the place where the lord and Ma Chao have a decisive battle, and Jingzhou is adjacent to Yuzhou to the east and Jiangdong to the south, which is very beneficial to the supply of grain, grass, supplies and troops, and Ma Chao is in Jingzhou!  but noneVery basic, the advantages are all ours!  Yuan Shao was convinced and laughed and said: "Yuan Tu's words suddenly enlightened me. Now we should maintain friendly relations with Liu Biao and agree to the non-aggression agreement with him."  Secretly, they want to mobilize the army. Once the preparations are completed, they will send troops to Jingzhou with lightning speed, which will surely catch Liu Biao off guard!  " Feng Ji bowed and said, "My lord is wise, that's exactly how it should be!  " Having made up his mind, Yuan Shao hosted another banquet for Kuai Yue. Not only did he agree to what he asked for, but he also sent a gift in return to Liu Biao. Secretly, he sent generals Wen Chou and Qu Yi to mobilize the army to prepare for sending troops to Jingzhou. " The plan is up to people.  , everything will come true, Ma Chao made a big plan, while waiting for Yuan Shao to attack Liu Biao, he asked Chen Lin to be the matchmaker to propose marriage to Cai Yong, the Sikong of the dynasty. Cai Yong had known about the affair between Ma Chao and Cai Yan, and saw that Cai Yan was about to be crowned weak.  Ma Chao had just married Princess Wannian at the beginning of the year, and it was illegal for Du Xiu Niang to get married twice in one year.  Ding Yuan married into the Ma family with his identity, and the two of them had already had status. Ding Yuan saw that Ma Chao had more and more women, and he was anxious to have his grandson. He didn't care about status. Anyway, the status of Ma Chao's women was equal, so he might as well get things done early.  If Du Xiu Niang succeeds and can be the first to give birth to Lin'er, she will most likely inherit Ma Chao's position in the future. Ma Chao will not shirk. Du Xiu Niang made a decision with him as early as five years ago. She has a virtuous temperament and comparable beauty.  It would be a lie to say that she is not attracted by Diao Chan's stunning beauty. Besides, Du Xiu Niang and Ding Yuan both come from poor families. Their status and status are far inferior to those of Princess Wannian and Cai Yan. It would be a good idea to marry into the Ma family as concubines.  As for the concubine ceremony, it is much simpler. From a literal point of view, the wife is the woman lying beside her, and the concubine is the woman standing beside her. The concubine cannot enter through the front door, but must enter through the side door. She cannot worship her parents.  The wedding dress can't be bright red, only pink. In short, it can't be done according to the specifications of the main wife. It can't be too ostentatious or extravagant. At most, it can only be a meal with some relatives and friends. But Ma Chao completely ignored everyone's objections.  The edict was issued to the world, and all regulations must be followed according to the etiquette of a head wife. She bowed to heaven and earth, and bowed to her parents. There were many words of happiness in red robes, and both Ding Yuan and Ma Teng's subordinates were present except for those who couldn't get away.  They all gathered in Luoyang to marry a concubine, and the standards were no different from those of ordinary princes. Ma Dai, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie also rushed to Luoyang to attend the wedding. Ma Chao looked for an opportunity to marry the daughter of the Xuzhou Cao family.  The matter was told to Ma Dai. Naturally, Ma Dai had no reason to object. In this era, marriages were arranged by elders. Ma Dai's biological father died early, leaving only his uncle Ma Teng and his widowed mother. As Ma Chao's cousin, it was reasonable for him to arrange Ma Dai's marriage.  It should be. At this point, Ma Chao's General's Mansion has already moved into six mistresses: Princess Liu Li, Diao Chan, Yang Wan, Dong Xuan, Cai Yan and Du Xiu Niang. As for the three daughters Zhen Mi, Fu Shou and Qi Yan, they are too old.  Of course, she has not left her role as a dowry maid yet. Whenever she has time, Ma Chao keeps in touch with the three little girls, and their relationship grows stronger with each passing day. The youngest of the three girls, Zhen Mi, is already twelve years old.  Yan is thirteen years old, and she has a few months to go until her haircut ceremony. The three of them are not lonely in the general's mansion. Not only do they have several sisters who take good care of them, but there are also several maids who are dedicated to serving them.  Not even the slightest bit of "treatment" that a dowry maid should have!  "Under Ma Chao's love offensive, Fu Shou and Qi Yan, who were forced into the General's Mansion, no longer had the same attitude as before, and the little lolita Zhen Mi was even more like a follower, extremely attached to Ma Chao.  The relationship between them is also quite harmonious, led by the eldest Cai Yan and Liu Li. Cai Yan is versatile, the most literate, and proficient in music and poetry. Liu Li has become a noble and reasonable amateur teacher of the girls.  , whose temperament is far more mature than that of other girls, and has already taken on the responsibility of a big wife, while Diao Chan is from a wealthy family, has a clear mind, is good at singing and dancing, and plays the pipa well. The most rare thing is that she is good at things in the house.  Du Xiu Niang is the most favored by Ma Chao. Although she is not very literate, she is clever and good at women's affairs. Ma Chao's clothes are basically made by Du Xiu Niang.  It was a happy event for everyone. Ding Yuan was so drunk that he only hoped that they could have a son and a half daughter soon. Ma Chao had promised that as long as the son born to Du Xiu Niang was not the eldest son, he could use the surname Ding.  Ding Yuan never forgot about it. That night, Du Xiu Niang's boudoir became the bridal chamber. The girls had already stayed with Du Xiu Niang for most of the day.  What will happen next, even the youngest Zhen Mi is no exception. Seeing that all the ladies are here, Ma Chao feels even more happy and laughs: "All the ladies are here, do you still want to stay for the wedding?"  If so, your husband will be very welcome!  "As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards Yang Hu, who was nearest to him.?Take it.  (To be continued)
