Chapter 1182 Jizhou four counties?The horse family wants it!

Seeing Ma Chao involuntarily showing a hehe smile, Cao Tai was suddenly taken aback.A very ominous premonition rose from the soles of the feet to the top of the Tianling Gai, and in both ears, I heard Ma Chao say a word: "General Cao, have you heard of installment payment?..."

"General!" Before Ma Chao could finish speaking, Cao Ang suddenly got up and interrupted.His identity and keen intuition determine that he must say a few words for the Cao family at this time: "General, the Ma and Cao families are now indispensable princes of the Han Dynasty, and they should work together to unify the Han Dynasty." Matters can be divided into big and small. Today, the fourteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty are still torn apart. The two families don't think about how to unite with all their heart, but they are once again plotting. , on this golden opportunity, it is time to mobilize our troops and move south to restore the rivers and mountains and revive the Han Dynasty. If Liu Zhang, who overthrew the system, is wiped out and Jingzhou is captured within two years, all the heroes of the world will look up to them. The old account, I will not take it for the general."

"Very good, Mr. Cao is very right. In that case, should the Cao family hand over the military power of 20 Qingzhou soldiers to the Holy Majesty, in order to honor the reputation of Lord Sikong's loyalty?" .At this moment, Peng Yang, who was sitting at the bottom, directly countered back: "Young Master Cao is really arrogant! As the son of Sikong, I don't talk about how the Cao family should be loyal, but here I just point my finger at the Ma family. I don’t know how Mr. Cao can open his mouth!”

Peng Yang's words were really harsh, which made Cao Ang blush and turn pale for a while, but even so, Cao Ang and Cao Tai did not dare to confront each other.After all, to tell the truth, today is for the peace negotiation, if the two continue to entangle on some moral issues, it will only bring the peace negotiation that has finally entered the substantive negotiation stage back into the never-ending delay.Such a result is not acceptable to the currently weak Cao family.

"The situation is also the time. If today's child is young and doesn't know the dangers of military strategists, it is also his job to be in charge of the military power." Cao Tai was very clear about his situation, and after a little excuse, he brought the topic back: "It's just I have never heard of the installment payment that General Hussars said, and I hope that your lord will not hesitate to give me..."

However, Cao Ang, who has more contact with Ma Chao than Cao Tai, knows that Ma Chao's next words will definitely make Cao Tai regret it.As a result, the two Cao family members began to fight internally.After seeing Cao Ang wink at Cao Taishi frequently but Cao Tai turned a blind eye, Cao Ang braved his face and stood up again, interrupting Cao Tai to say to Ma Chao: "General Hushi is a man of benevolence, I think he will treat Li Dian, Le Jin and tens of thousands of soldiers. The focus of this peace negotiation is in the four counties of Jizhou, why are the two families avoiding the important and focusing on the less important and wasting time here?"

Cao Tai only took a serious look at Cao Ang at this time. He knew in his heart that the bottom line of this negotiation was to bring back Cao Ang, the heir of the Cao family, and his two confidantes.But Cao Ang knew this, and would rather take advantage of the result of his impoverished Ma family, and still want to stop the "installment payment". As a result, his face became very serious, and he remained silent, respecting Cao Ang's opinion.

At the same time, Ma Chao also looked up at Cao Ang, for this heir of the Cao family who did not leave much records in history.Only at this time did he have a very specific impression: on the surface, Cao Ang was humble and kind, with a legacy of Wende.But once the core interests are touched, he is definitely a person who will not retreat.Moreover, in speech, his ability to adapt to changing situations is no less than this Cao Tai who is a messenger.The two times he spoke, his thoughts gushed out like a spring, and he brought the topic to the surface without leaving a trace.

However, at this time, Ma Chao already had the chance to win. He changed his previous oblique manner, and impliedly threatened: "Since the Cao family intends to give up, the Ma family will naturally not think of adding two more famous generals. There will also be farming and grazing next year." The lack of population on the border just happens to use these tens of thousands of captives... As for the four counties of Jizhou, there is no need to talk about it at all, since the covenant has already stated the ownership, the Ma family will naturally not give up an inch of land and have full rights to accept it!"

"General Hussars really wants to take over the four counties of Jizhou with full authority?!" Cao Ang and Cao Tai absolutely did not expect the negotiations to come to this point, but Ma Chao suddenly made a 180-degree change, and sincerely wanted to take over the four counties of Jizhou.They looked at each other speechlessly for a while, only seeing the disbelief in the other's eyes.

In the end, Cao Ang reacted a little faster. Although he couldn't swallow what he said, he still wanted to know why: "General, we can talk about the negotiation between the four counties. It's just this..." At this point, Cao Ang suddenly didn't know how to continue. After all, the Ma family had always insisted that the four counties belonged to them. From the beginning to the end, he was the one who misjudged that the Ma family wanted to give up the four counties.

Ma Chao could naturally hear Cao Ang's innuendo, and said with a trace of unspeakable ridicule: "The time is also the situation. The present has its own feelings, and this time also has the current situation..." Cao Ang and Cao Tai Hearing this, a blush flashed across Jun's face.There is no doubt that Ma Chao used Cao Tai's words just now to ridicule the insincere and scheming of the two.

Of course, the most fundamental change was that during the sword dance, Ma Chao saw clearly that Duanmu made an 'OK' gesture at the door.Before the Ma family didn't want the four counties, it was entirely for overall economic considerations.But with Yuan Shu searching for years of wealth injection, Ma Chao believes that this wealth can definitely fill this loophole.Therefore, playing by ear, he instantly changed his attitude towards the four counties, causing Cao Ang and Cao Tai to be in chaos.

In the short term, although the four counties do not have much economic benefit, they may also be a drag on the Ma family.But they are of extremely important strategic significance to the Ma family after all. Once the Cao family lets go of the four counties, its tentacles of power will no longer reach the north bank of the Yellow River.And the recovery of Wei Jun, the place where Yuan Shao was once brilliant, will even shake all Jizhou people's ability to control the Ma family's arms. The general strategy of connecting together has a very positive meaning.

At this point in the entire conversation, Cao Ang and Cao Tai have been completely cornered.Ma Chao's sudden and sudden change accepted all the reliance they thought they could restrain.But Cao Tai couldn’t just go back here, he didn’t come here just to come alone, to go alone—Cao Cao’s bottom line was that he would bring Cao Ang, Le Jin, and Li Dian back no matter what. !
"General, general..." Cao Tai bit his bullet and didn't dare to raise his head. Cao Tai, who felt his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, said to Ma Chao respectfully and humbly: "No, I don't know what the general said earlier. Paying in installments, can it still count? If the Cao family can accept it, both families will be happy, and tens of thousands of soldiers will not have to leave their homes... Tai, Tai hereby thank the general for his generosity..."

Cao Tai didn't know how he finished these words. He only felt that after he finished speaking, the muscles and joints of his whole body became extremely tense and stiff due to shame and shame, and he couldn't even lift his bent waist. stand up.

The victor, Ma Chao, took a sip of the wine leisurely, and said with an extremely cheerful tone as if he was teaching a class: "This installment payment, as the name suggests, is a payment method for some long-term, high-cost transactions. Workaround. The Cao family is struggling, so naturally they cannot buy back Master Zixiu, the two generals and tens of thousands of soldiers. In order to maximize the interests of the Ma family... oh, in order to achieve harmony between the two families and the hearts of the people, they can sacrifice a certain amount of money. Time, the ransom paid for the general attack will be recovered several times, and the captives will be sent back to the Cao family in batches accordingly..."

Both Cao Ang and Cao Tai are people with clear minds, they can tell everything from what they hear, and their expressions can't help but change drastically!And Cao Tai looked at Cao Ang with deep fear and remorse: This Ma Chao is going to use this method to at least kidnap Cao's development time for a year!His ruthless heart and poisonous methods make people so unpredictable...

'This guy is really a devil who is better off the battlefield than on the battlefield! 'The two wailed in their hearts, but fell into the abyss like a defeated bird with broken wings, and the whole body was extremely cold.
