Chapter 1190 Is there any regret medicine?

Liu Bei's mood is very contradictory now. Based on his experience, it is enough to hear that Ma Chao's words are for him who has been stuck in confusion and deep pain, but doesn't know how to take advantage of the situation. What an earth-shattering strategic plan for the princes!

These words, like lightning breaking through the thick fog, awakened Liu Bei's altar.It pointed out a clear way for him and all the advisers and generals behind him.Even, to put it bluntly, this plan is definitely a ground-shaking change for the entire Han Dynasty.

Thinking that the world will be divided into four in the future, and the land of the two states will be in his own hands.The melancholy and regret in Liu Bei's eyes was instantly covered by the raging fire of ambition, and his whole body was filled with an aura of yearning for beauty.However, in the next moment, this kind of ambition and longing seemed to have encountered a huge flood, and quickly receded from his body.

"General Hussars, Bei..." Liu Bei pondered for a moment at this moment. At this time, he knew that if he wanted to say some high-sounding nonsense, Ma Chao would definitely drive him out with a wave of his hand.From this, he regained his composure slightly, and then continued: "The words of the general will be used endlessly. However, as the general said, it will take at least five years or even ten years for this plan to be completed. Although you are arrogant , but he is not a stupid person, dare to ask the general, what should the Ma family do in this period of time?"

Ma Chao sighed, as if he knew that Liu Bei would ask this question, he spread his hands with a wry smile and said, "Uncle Huang thinks, the Ma family can still make a difference in the past five years? Or to put it another way, the Ma family still wishes Make a difference?"

Liu Bei was startled, but then nodded: He is also a hero who has been in charge of a large state in Xuzhou, so he naturally knows how much time and energy it takes to completely stabilize a state.What's more, during Ma Chao's six-month campaign, he managed to conquer Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou in a row, almost doubling the Ma family's territory at once.And these three places have always been connected to the Rongdi and the beacon fires that have been infested by the Hu Rong, and it takes a lot of time to gather people's hearts and recuperate.

Therefore, given the current situation of the Ma family, it is already necessary to worry about labor and painstaking effort just to stabilize the rule.If you have to worry about other princes during the period, it will definitely be more stretched and overwhelmed. What's more, if the internal worries are unstable and foreign disasters invade, the Ma family may be reduced to the point where they will lose everything in one careless move.

Thinking up to this point, Liu Bei couldn't help but take a deep look at the young man who was still a bit ruffian.At this moment, he shows such a grand and long-term strategic vision and meticulous and steady demeanor, no less than a veteran who has already been in the ups and downs of the political field.This sharp contrast in age and ambition made Liu Bei feel a little more admiration and...fear in his eyes.

Coughing lightly, Liu Bei tried his best to break free from that emotion, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, the general took the initiative to contact you before, and it was not a whim. But today, after listening to the general's plan, Bei also knows it well. Three to five years of stable development is important to the Ma family. However, there is only one question that has been puzzling so far."

"Uncle, please tell me."

"Why me?" As if afraid that Ma Chao might not have heard clearly, Liu Bei emphasized it again: "There are so many heroes in the world, why is it me, Liu Bei?"

"Uncle Huang is really a wonderful person." Faced with Liu Bei's serious hearing of the news, Ma Chao not only did not answer cautiously, but laughed: "I remember before, but someone wanted to cooperate with my Ma family. Why would I The great benefits are placed in front of the emperor, but the emperor said these words?"

"Because as the general said, I don't believe that there is such a good thing as pies in the world..." Liu Bei licked his lips when he said this, obviously proving that the gourmet pies that only Chang'an can produce are very attractive. Not small.

At this moment, Ma Chao's face turned serious. He looked at Liu Bei and said in a word: "Because I have no choice!" He lowered his tone and began to explain: "Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, as I said before, they are useless; the price of the Ma family's military conquest is too high and the unknown risk is also extremely high, and the person who can replace them is the last It’s good that he is a clan member of the Han family, and he must also have great charisma and a good reputation; more importantly, this person has not yet made a fortune at this time!”

"After counting and counting, I only found one person in the whole world." Speaking of this, Ma Chao pointed like a sword, pointing directly at His Highness Liu Bei!
"That being the case, why doesn't the general admit that the Ma family wants to cooperate with me, Liu Bei?" Liu Bei seemed to be a person who was overwhelmed at this time, but sometimes what is needed in troubled times is this kind of desperate and firm A person who seizes a one-in-a-million chance.

"Uncle Huang, at this time, you should give up your fantasy." Regarding Liu Bei's last provocation, Ma Chao did not have too many emotional fluctuations, and replied calmly: "If Uncle Huang enters this palace, he will take the initiative to say this. After some planning, I, Ma Chao, may be afraid of you, the hero who is bound to rise in the future, but at this moment, I have pointed out a clear path for you, and the only choice left for the emperor is to agree or disagree."

"Besides..." The rhythmic sound of knuckles gently knocking on the desk was interrupted, Ma Chao turned his head and glanced at Liu Bei: "Uncle Liu Huang really thought that without the secret support of the Ma family, you, Liu Bei, really thought that you might be able to do it in five to five years." In ten years, Jing and Yi were acquired?!"

Liu Bei remained silent and bowed his head sadly.But Ma Chao’s words were not over yet. He leaned forward slightly to make his voice clearer and dignified: “You Liu Bei can concentrate on five to ten years, but the Ma family doesn’t want to wait so long. If the emperor is willing to become a subordinate force of the Ma family , I can guarantee that this time will definitely only take about three years!"

Liu Bei was even more silent, and the expression on his face changed for no reason, as if two emotions were fighting back and forth for control of the conflict on his face.In the end, Liu Bei gritted his teeth suddenly, as if he had made a decision, and said decisively: "In that case, prepare to serve under the command of Hussar General!" After finishing speaking, Liu Bei lifted his shirt and knelt down.

After three prostrations, Liu Bei's expression turned serious, and he suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stretched out his left arm.Ma Chao was slightly startled when he saw this, and then he said, "The emperor should avoid these blood-piercing oaths. I, Ma Chao, have seen Lu Fengxian like this, and I have also seen Yu Fuluo and Liu Bao like this. However, from these people, I deeply understand a truth."

"In the face of absolute interests, any gorgeous language is like a mirror." Ma Chao waved his hand and motioned Liu Bei to get up: "Uncle Emperor, but you should think about it. In the next few years, who can predict the general trend of the world?"

Hearing Ma Chao's words, Liu Bei looked a bit annoyed. At this time, he regretted his overthinking and playing tricks when he first came, which made Ma Chao take precautions against him at this time.But things have come to this, and he can only say one sentence: "I will be grateful for the general's kindness for the rest of my life, and I will never betray the Ma family!"

Ma Chao smiled slightly, noncommittal about this promise.Afterwards, he looked a little tired again, and said lazily, "Cao Cao has agreed to transfer the county of Runan, Yuzhou to the Ma family. However, the Ma family still needs to cross Yingchuan to take over that place. Uncle Huang is now homeless. Let the emperor take care of that county. The Xinye County is really wronged by the emperor..."

Hearing this, Liu Bei didn't have a look of overwhelming ecstasy on his face, but the annoyance and regret were even heavier - although this move seems to be no different from Liu Bei's taking refuge in Liu Biao.But don't forget that Liu Biao allocated Xinye under the Ma family to Liu Bei, and used Liu Bei as cannon fodder.But Ma Chao gave Runan County with complete jurisdiction!There are not many differences in one county and one county, but the more important thing is the big difference in attitude between the two. Needless to say, that adobe house was not owned by a stingy rich man.

If there is regret medicine in the world, Liu Bei really wants to pack a catty and pour it into his stomach...
