"My lord, although you value Liu Bei, in Liu Bei's eyes, you don't seem to have any plans to harm the Ma family."
After Duanmu Ruoyu heard Ma Chao's plan, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Liu Bei became the shepherd of Xuzhou."
After that, in order to ensure that Xuzhou would always be in his hands in the future, he did carry out a series of diplomatic maneuvers."
"It's just that the Ma family was not included in the list."
Ma Chao chuckled after hearing this, and immediately wanted to explain, but after thinking for a moment, he still said: "Then Liu Bei wants to ensure that Xuzhou is in his hands today, tomorrow and forever. , What diplomatic activities did Liu Bei carry out to consolidate his power?"
"The first step is to recommend Kong Rong as the governor of Qingzhou."
Duanmu Ruoyu pointed to the Beihai area on the sand table simulation map and said succinctly.
"Well, this is to be expected.
It's Liu Bei's reciprocation."
As a Yongzhou shepherd, Ma Chao naturally knew that Han officials had the power to recommend and appoint senior local cadres after becoming a state shepherd.
And his first act of using this power was to recommend his new good friend Kong Rong, Prime Minister of Beihai, to be promoted to governor of Qingzhou.
On the one hand, he further strengthened his profound revolutionary friendship with Comrade Kong Rong, and on the other hand, he ensured that Qingzhou, the northern gateway to Xuzhou, was in his own hands. , so that you can sleep more soundly at night.
In the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms, sleeping soundly is destined to be a luxury for many people.
It is indeed easy to understand that Liu Bei did this first.
Therefore, what Ma Chao is waiting for is the second step mentioned by Duanmu Ruoyu.
Because he knows that the good stuff usually comes later.
Sure enough, Duanmu Ruoyu saw Ma Chao's lack of interest.
He waved his hand and pointed to Jizhou.
He drew a circle and circled Yuan Shao's area before saying, "Liu Bei's second step is to He sent someone to meet Yuan Shao in Yecheng and brought a request for alliance. " At this time, Yuan Shao had already taken the initiative in the war against Gongsun Zan, and his strength was further enhanced.
If you hug the thigh, you should hug the thick one.
Everyone knows this.
It is understandable that Liu Bei decided to join the leader.
It is estimated that the invitation form he brought was to report to Yuan Shao the causes and consequences of Liu Bei taking over as Xuzhou Mu, and by the way, he expressed his intention to strengthen contacts with Yuan Shao, cultivate feelings, and establish a revolutionary friendship so that they could help each other.
Although Liu Bei had been working against Yuan Shao for a long time when he was working for Gongsun Zan, except for those who had water in their heads, everyone understood that there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
Especially in troubled times, making one more friend means at least one less enemy.
If this friend can still help at a critical moment, it will be a real fortune.
However, according to Ma Chao's opinion, it is still a matter of debate whether Yuan Shao will agree to Liu Bei's offer.
After all, Ma Chao and Yuan Shao have no intersection, and judging from historical reviews, Yuan Shao dare not say much, but he is definitely arrogant.
What's more, Liu Bei showed the virtue of having breasts as a mother in an instant.
Ma Chao estimated that even if Liu Bei could get favor from Yuan Shao, he would inevitably be ridiculed.
But to Ma Chao's surprise, Duanmu Ruoyu actually said that Yuan Shao readily accepted Liu Bei's invitation, and immediately expressed his support for Liu Bei to take over as Xuzhou Mu.
He even said to the envoy sent by Liu Bei: "Liu Xuande Hongya has faith, and now Xuzhou If the people are willing to support him, that’s what everyone expects.
It’s a good thing, and I, Yuan, support it with both hands.”
Since then, Liu Bei has become Yuan Shaofang's little brother.
At this time, Yuan Shao was busy expanding into Youzhou and taking over Gongsun Zan, while Cao Cao was still cleaning up Lu Bu and stabilizing the Yanzhou base.
Coupled with this layer of alliance, Liu Bei doesn't have to worry about the two of them getting along with him for the time being.
However, if Liu Bei doesn't come to Ma Chao, Ma Chao may not let Liu Bei go.
Because Liu Bei could also see that the Ma family was beyond his reach and had no real connection with him.
"Yuan Shao really impressed me this time.
The current alliance with Liu Bei is really a sure-profit deal.
But our Ma family has to have a hand in this deal."
Ma Chao also extended his hand.
He pointed his hand at Yuan Shu and Cao Cao on the map, and said: "No.
No matter what, Liu Bei is afraid that after Cao Cao turns over, he will cause trouble.
Yuan Shu in the south may come to him at any time.

We have small grievances with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, especially the enemy of the enemy.
It’s Liu Bei, my friend, and he’s holding two of my friends.”
Ma Chao said inscrutably.
Both Duanmu Ruoyu and Diao Chan knew that the two friends Ma Chao mentioned were Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.
"Always, the younger brother needs to show his sincerity when he seeks refuge with the elder brother.
And if the elder brother goes to find the younger brother in person, then no matter how ignorant Liu Bei is of current affairs, he will be embarrassed."
Thinking that Zhao Yun, who has been gone for more than half a year, has not brought Tai Shici with him.
After returning, Ma Chao was also a little worried about Liu Bei's ability to employ people: "I want to go to Xuzhou to see what kind of ecstasy soup Liu Bei poured into Zilong, which made Zilong still not return for more than half a year."
"Since my husband has these several meanings, my husband's trip to Xuzhou must have already been decided."
Diao Chan thought about it.
Ma Chao's trip to Xuzhou has both political significance and a matter of Zilong Ziyi, and it also has an official hat and chair. of ties.
Such three levels were enough to persuade Ma Chao, the hussar general, to go there in person.
But Ma Chao entered Xuzhou so blatantly, but it was difficult to decide the route: if he chose the shortest distance between two points and one line, not to mention the war-torn Yanzhou in the middle, Cao Cao in the east would most likely take the opportunity to destroy Ma Chao; it is advisable Not only was the journey to Yuzhou dangerous, but it also had to pass through Yuan Shu's territory; while the detour from Jizhou would require crossing the river at least twice, which would take too much time.
Moreover, Yuan Shao has always been concerned about the Ma family's detention of Tian Feng.
It can be said that Ma Chao is now powerful, and every move he makes can affect the situation of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, forming an alliance with Liu Bei seems simple, but if Ma Chao goes there in person, it would be a bit outrageous.
Diao Chan and Duanmu Ruoyu looked at the sand table simulation for a long time, but couldn't find a safe route.
But Ma Chao was a bit disapproving of this.
He smiled slyly beside the two women and said, "Who said I would go to Xuzhou in an open and aboveboard way?
I turned into a bodyguard and followed the Ma family's rites department.
How dare those princes not give the Ma family face?"
"Husband, although this plan may work."
After thinking for a moment, Diao Chan still agreed with Ma Chao's method.
However, she was still worried and said: "I can explain the matter in the backyard to my aunt and sisters.
But the civil and military officials above the court will not agree to my husband going to Xuzhou in person."
After hearing this, the hope on Ma Chao's face suddenly collapsed: Yes, now that the Ma family is becoming more and more powerful, Ma Chao has more scruples and constraints.
When he first entered Chang'an, Ma Chao encountered a lot of civil and military opposition.
If it weren't for Jia Laoxu's support, it would have been impossible for him to make the trip.
But now it is no better than before.
Even though Jia Huhu still supports him this time, Ma Chao cannot speak clearly about the official hat chair and the locust plague in Yanzhou this year.
Without these two points as a basis, even Jia Hu could only think that he was out of his mind.
"It seems that I still need to find a reason to deceive the foxes in the Ma family."
Ma Chao scratched his head in annoyance.
To be honest, he felt really uncomfortable: "How much IQ does it take to deceive those foxes?"
However, when Ma Chao saw the information that Liu Xie also appointed Liu Bei, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately had a vague plan in his mind: "Brother Gao Fu Shuai, it seems that I want you to be the leader again this time."
What a mess."
