Chapter 854
"Since the year of Shu's birth, I have never heard of Liu Bei in the world." Ma Chao was standing in the courtyard at this time, watching the sycamore trees in the courtyard begin to shed their leaves, and couldn't help but lament the ruthlessness of late autumn.He casually picked up a fallen leaf, twisted it lightly in his hand, and said with a bit of indifference: "It can be seen how much Yuan Shu looked down on Liu Bei when he said this sentence at the beginning. But now Liu Bei, who has turned himself into a landlord, how can he not think about it from time to time? With Yuan Shu?"

"It's natural." Behind Ma Chao at this time, a general who was not much older than Ma Chao, only in his twenties, his eyes were deep and thoughtful, and he carefully considered his words and said: "My lord, Yuan Shu now calls himself 'Uncle Xuzhou'. The intention is self-evident. Therefore, it is reasonable for Liu Bei to be wary of Yuan Shu all the time."

Hearing the words of the person behind him, Ma Chao couldn't help throwing down the fallen leaves in his hands, turned around, looked at the general and said, "Guorang, you and I have just met, so you probably don't understand my temperament. But my lord In the past, there has never been only the mode of master Wei Chengong. Guo Rang can think freely, but he can speak freely, and today it is not a formal report from the Deyang Palace of Weiyang Palace, it is just you and me chatting."

After hearing Ma Chao's words, the general named 'Guorang' couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.Looking at Ma Chao's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little more admiration and warmth.As a result, he sorted out his thoughts slightly, and said:

"Yu once followed Liu Bei when he was young. At that time, Liu Bei was just a knight-errant who didn't like reading very much. He liked dogs, horses, music, and beautiful clothes. The thing that impressed me the most was that Liu Bei didn't show his emotions and anger, and was extremely kind. Forbearance. However, the world has changed, Liu Bei has now ruled Xuzhou, and the city is naturally deeper. But the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. After all, Liu Bei came from a poor family. Now he has become the governor of Xuzhou, and he wants to hold Xuzhou firmly. I hope Xuzhou makes a slight mistake."

After hearing Tian Yu's words, Ma Chao finally showed a deep smile, obviously very interested in Tian Yu's words.

That's right, this person is the No. 1 Cao Cao's northern border barrier in the future, defending the peace in the north of Wei State for decades, Tian Yutian Guorang.He has gone through nine battles in his life, eight victories and one tie, and beheaded generals three times. He can be called the pillar of the Wei State!

Tian Yu appeared here at this time and called Ma Chao the lord, which is naturally due to Zhao Yun's contribution: Tian Yu, who is originally from Yuyang, followed Liu Bei who defected to Gongsun Zan when he was young, until Liu Bei was declared the governor of Yuzhou by Tao Qian At that time, he returned to Yuyang on the grounds that his mother was old.He wanted to quell the war in Youzhou and join Gongsun Zan to serve him, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Zan, the hero of a generation, had changed completely and became a shrinking turtle.As a result, Tian Yu couldn't get into the tortoise shell that Gongsun Zan tailored for him at that time, and then went home angrily.

At that time, Zhao Yun happened to be returning to Youzhou. After recruiting some of Gongsun Zan's white horse followers, he heard Tian Yu's name and went to meet him personally.After Tian Yu took care of his mother's funeral, he strongly invited Tian Yu to join Ma Chao together.On the day when he was drunk, Tian Yu refused to come out to meet Ma Chao and the others because he saw outsiders.It was not until the next day that Zhao Yun, who was determined to serve Ma Chao, introduced Tian Yu to Ma Chao.Ma Chao was overjoyed immediately, and also ordered him to command the position of the first battalion, and took Tian Yu under his tent.

In the days that followed, Ma Chao asked Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Tian Yu for advice on martial arts and the situation in Xuzhou.Secretly, he dispatched Shan Qu to investigate Yuan Shu's matter with all his strength.Today, it happened that the single song reported Yuan Shu's situation, and Tian Yu was present at the same time, so Ma Chao and Tian Yu chatted a few words alone.

But what Tian Yu said made Ma Chao get to know Liu Bei whom he hadn't met yet.But more, it made Ma Chao see Tian Yu's excellence: Although Tian Yu didn't talk about why Liu Bei didn't make up his mind to send troops to Yanzhou from the perspective of the world situation, he gave Ma Chao from Liu Bei's psychological point of view. A livelier point of view.

"Guorang really has an insight into human nature, and what he said really has a kind of enlightenment." Ma Chao realized that Tian Yu entered the room, and after walking to the map on the table, he stopped and said, "I am indeed different from Liu Bei. Although the Ma family is not the home of princes and lords for many generations, when his father cut firewood to make a living, Chao was just an ignorant young man, so he naturally didn't know the hardships of a poor family. Liu Bei, however, has been weaving mats and selling shoes for many years, deeply feeling the warmth of human relationships and the hardships of the world. After gaining power, one naturally does not want to gamble lightly. From this point of view, everyone has different starting points, so it is impossible to talk about which is right and which is wrong, which is higher and which is lower."

Even though he said this, Ma Chao knew it well: Liu Bei's downfall in the early stage had something to do with his pettiness.Even though he can keep up with his scheming and means, and his ambition is also paranoid, there is one factor that restricts Liu Bei's success: his broad mind and vision, but he has suffered enough, so that Liu Bei can only drift with the crowd and struggle hard. He set up a long-term strategy. I am afraid that Liu Bei will be a "Legend of Xiaoqiang" who becomes more frustrated and braver and more defeated all his life.

Sometimes, if the path is wrong, the greater the ability, the more miserable the result will be.Only by choosing the right path, can the cloud follow the dragon, the wind follow the tiger, and be invincible!
And Ma Chao also didn't want the handsome talent under him who was expecting him to become a counselor who was only good at studying people's hearts.Therefore, pointing to the map of Xuzhou, Ma Chao said, "However, in the current situation, Liu Bei's sending troops to Yanzhou is more beneficial than harmful. He is only sure that Yuan Shu will attack Xuzhou, but he is not sure when Yuan Shu will send troops."

At this time, Ma Chao's hand had already moved Yuan Shu's sphere of influence on the map, and continued: "After recuperating for more than a year, Yuan Shu has indeed regained his power and is full of bullishness. However, Liu Bei did not see that Liu Biao of Jingzhou is dying at this time." Keeping an eye on Yuan Shu's west side, and in the southeast, there is a little overlord, Sun Ce, who is making troubles, making Jiangdong windy and chaotic. The troops on the west side can only be dispatched after the appropriate deployment and garrison.”

"During this time, Chao didn't dare to say much. For at least a year and a half, Yuan Shu could only stare at Xuzhou's fat meat, but he couldn't attack with all his troops. But Liu Bei only needed to send troops to Yanzhou with a heavy blow. Lü Bu's attack from east to west can make the Cao family collapse in a matter of ten months. If Liu Bei misses this opportunity, he will regret it in the future!"

"That being the case, why didn't my lord summon Liu Bei to explain each of these joints. So, the purpose of my lord's coming to Xuzhou can be completed long ago? Why did you stay dormant for a long time while peeping at the world in this courtyard? Move?" Listening to Ma Chao's explanation, Tian Yu was even more enlightened, and was immediately convinced by Ma Chao's overall view and keen sense of strategy.However, the more this was the case, the more he couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

When Ma Chao heard Tian Yu's question, he couldn't help smiling, and said, "I'm a great general of Hussars, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei are just a state with bad names and bad words." Master. I can accept using support as a minion, but if I am asked to work for these two, it would be putting the cart before the horse."

"Without Lu Bu and Liu Bei, I can still eat Cao Cao. It's just that it takes a lot of effort, and I don't necessarily have to rely on these two people." Speaking of this, Ma Chao's aura of superiority unconsciously revealed, and he lowered his eyes. On the map, Yan and Xu Erzhou said proudly: "What's more, if the minions I support can't even see through these, what qualifications does he have for me to bother to support?!"

Tian Yu couldn't help being awe-inspiring when he heard the words. After these words, he was a little more convinced by the young man in front of him.As a result, he asked more cautiously: "So, the lord has been waiting here for more than ten days, and Liu Bei has not come to see him in person, so the lord..."

"Given him ten days, he still can't grasp it, so there is no need for us to wait any longer. Inform Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and others, and we will return to Chang'an tomorrow! Re-determine the Ma family to enter the original map. big……"

"Don't leave!!" At this moment, Ma Chao suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the door. The voice was anxious and anxious. It was obviously a sudden cry from the injured woman when she was exhausted.

Then, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and Lu Qiling appeared in a messy and blood-stained shirt, her haggard face was full of anxiety and heartbreak.After her pupils saw Ma Chao, she seemed to see the straw to save her life. She rushed forward, knelt down in front of Ma Chao, and said miserably, "Husband, save my father!"

Seeing this, Ma Chao's heart sank suddenly, then he turned to Tian Yu, and said coldly: "Guorang, you go out and guard first, no one is allowed to approach this house!"
