When Ma Chao first entered Mi Mansion, he was shocked by the luxury and extravagance of Mi Mansion.
Speaking of which, although Ma Chao was a general in the Han Dynasty and had an unparalleled status, he had never behaved in an ostentatious manner in his daily life.
It's not that he doesn't have that ability, it's just that he feels that it makes him feel like he is ashamed of a rich man who got rich overnight.
However, it doesn't mean that Ma Chao has never seen Kuo.
At least Ma Chao saw the Weiyang Palace, the largest palace in the Han Dynasty, and the dock built by Dong Zhuo with his own eyes, and he demolished the Weiyang Palace with his own hands.
However, in the late Han Dynasty, when merchants were generally viewed as a lowly profession, Ma Chao was really shocked that the Mi family was able to build such a luxurious villa in Xiapi City where there was so much land.
As soon as he entered Mi Mansion, Ma Chao was impressed by the Mi family's parking lot, which was as big as a football field in his previous life.
Not only is the bluestone paved clean, there are also attentive services such as children guiding horses to look after, and maids greeting and leading the way.
Such subtle touches make Ma Chao sigh with emotion at the profound accumulation of the Mi family's industry that has been passed down for centuries.
"General, there are only you and me at this time, and since Gongda is under the general's command, Chen will have something to say."
I don’t know how many pavilions I walked through along the way, and how many beautiful corridors of houses I walked through.
Just when Ma Chao was still sighing at the magnificence of the Mi Mansion, Xun Chen, who was traveling with him, swept away his previous exaggerated and vain expression, and spoke to Ma Chao solemnly.
But Ma Chao still didn't care.
He just looked at Xun Chen in amazement and said teasingly: "Mr.
Aren’t you also advocating joining forces with Liu to destroy Cao?”
After saying these words, Xun Chen looked at Ma Chao in shock again, and then sighed helplessly and said: "It turns out that the general already knows everything, so Chen won't say anything more.
He just wants to tell the general, My lord seems to be undecided about Cao Cao, but he seems to have made a decision.
He sent me and Guo Tu into Xuzhou just to find out Liu Bei's thoughts."
"Oh."
After hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but ponder seriously: If it is as Xun Chen said, then there seems to be some changes in his coming to Xuzhou.
From the beginning, when Ma Chao met Xun Chen, he thought that Yuan Shao was sending an envoy to Xuzhou to inform Liu Bei about his intention to attack Cao Cao.
After all, after the investigation of the Zhen family's food and grass and Gao Lan, Yuan Shao must have hated Liu Xie and Cao Cao for treating him like a monkey, and he would probably support another agent to take over Yanzhou.
And Liu Bei, whose lord has taken refuge in the past, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
In history, Xun Chen once urged Yuan Shao to eradicate Cao Cao as soon as possible.
Later, he tested him openly and secretly along the way.
Ma Chao also discovered that Xun Chen was just like himself.
He came to Xuzhou to join forces with Liu and destroy Cao Cao.
Unexpectedly, not only did Xun Chen come this time, but he also came with Guo Tu, who had an old friendship with Cao Cao.
In addition, Xun Chen had always had political disagreements with Guo Tu.
Ma Chao immediately guessed where Yuan Shao was. , probably because there were two major factions arguing over the issue of dealing with Cao Cao.
Perhaps for the sake of clearing his ears, or perhaps because he wanted to know Liu Bei's thoughts, Yuan Shao simply threw the minds of these two groups to Xuzhou.
But now, after hearing what Xun Chen said, Ma Chao had to carefully consider Yuan Shao's ideas.
Although Yuan Shao will fight against Cao Cao or not, Ma Chao will have to unite with Liu Bei, but no matter what, Yuan Shao is closer to Xuzhou after all, and Liu Bei will inevitably have to consider Yuan Shao's attitude.
Moreover, it is the kind of careful consideration.
However, in the current situation, Yuan Shao sent a chief warrior, a master and two major planners to Xuzhou, which undoubtedly gave Liu Bei the appearance of Yuan Shao's hesitation and neutrality.
This situation can only be neither beneficial nor harmful to me.
The only consideration is how big Liu Bei's ambition is, and how much the Ma family's face is worth.
After thinking about it, Ma Chao also had a plan in mind.
Therefore, Ma Chao said: "I wonder if Mr.
Xun and Guo Tu have met Liu Bei?"
"I've seen him before," Xun Chen answered every question.
He seemed to be very committed to the belief that the enemy of his enemy is his friend.
He continued to Ma Chao without any concealment: "Liu Bei seems gentle and obedient, but he is very scheming.
Guo Tu and I are together After Liu Bei's analysis, Liu Bei's words were ambiguous, and he seemed to be unwilling to let go of the rabbit.
Therefore, I will participate in this talent discussion meeting today.

Naturally, I want to further persuade Liu Bei by getting to know Mi Zhu. " "That means Guo Tu will definitely attend today."
"Since this is the case, I don't know the general" Ma Chao sneered twice, looking at Xun Chen's somewhat understanding expression, he couldn't help but said: "How about I help Mr.
Chao today?"
"Now that the general has come to Xuzhou, Chen knows that the alliance with Liu has been completed."
Looking at Ma Chao's mean smile, Xun Chen couldn't help but be infected by it, and responded with the same evil smile: "However, it can make Guo Gongze appear in public.
Even if you make a fool of yourself, Chen is happy to see it happen."
Chatting and laughing, the two of them, led by the maid, arrived at a hall where guests were already present.
Xun Chen was a famous scholar in the north, so he naturally sat in the most conspicuous first row.
However, Ma Chao, who was determined to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, pretended to be Xun Chen's follower and stood behind Xun Chen.
However, as soon as he took his seat, Xun Chen's expression changed and he looked at Ma Chao slightly.
Ma Chao knew what he meant and stepped forward, only to hear Xun Chen say: "It's strange why Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, a famous family in Guangling, are here today?"
Chen Deng Ma Chao's eyes widened immediately, and he followed Xun Chen's eyes and looked across.
Sure enough, sitting across from him was a young man in his twenties, Chen Deng.
His face could be considered handsome, handsome and restrained, but his figure was not too tall, and he was thin and thin.
Wearing a green gown covering his body, he looked even more handsome.
Of course, Ma Chao doesn't judge people by their appearance.
When he looks at Chen Deng, he looks more at his inner spirit and temperament.
Sure enough, this legendary counselor who died young in history has the style of a national strategist, and his whole person has a free and elegant temperament.
When talking to other guests, his voice was sonorous and heroic, appearing hearty, courageous and convincing.
But at the same time, Ma Chao also vaguely felt that when Chen Deng talked with those people, it was mostly just pleasantries.
It was as if he was restraining a touch of arrogance at all times and secretly isolating himself from others.
That person is Chen Deng It was Chen Deng who used his words to persuade Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Deng did not have many roles and did not have many exciting performances.
He is a descendant of the Chen family, a prominent family in Guangling, and his father, Chen Gui, is a famous scholar in Guangling.
Chen Deng himself was also well-known.
He became an official at the age of twenty-five and became the chief of Dongyang, and later became the captain of Dian Agricultural School.
These are not important.
What is important is that Ma Chao remembers that historical records show that Chen Deng's political stance was very vague, and it was even difficult to define where he belonged.
When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he admired Liu Bei quite a lot, and even said that he only admired three people in his life, and Liu Bei was one of them.
But later Lu Bu expelled Liu Bei, and Chen Deng quickly defected to Cao Cao.
He could not accept the post of Guangling Prefect.
He sometimes helped Liu Bei to fight against Lu Bu, and at the same time secretly colluded with Lu Bu to seek more benefits.
It is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery for such a person, making it difficult to figure out.
And now, why does a person like him, who is already so famous, come to Mi Mansion, a prestigious banquet where his daughter’s character and talent are judged?
Could it be said Ma Chao glanced at Chen Deng opposite him again.
When he saw that Chen Deng noticed his gaze and smiled and raised a glass to each other, Ma Chao also laughed sincerely: It seems that his shadow has been there for a long time.
Many princes followed suit. s: The day for grandma’s burial has been decided, it’s the 20th.
