Of course Liu Ke knew that Ma Dai was a related family and was loyal to Ma Teng, so it was wishful thinking to try to recruit him with a few words.

However, you have to give it a try, and even if it doesn't work, you have to leave a good impression.

So, when he was leaving, Liu Ke ordered someone to send a letter to Ma Dai and come to get together.

Although Ma Dai was very puzzled, he still arrived as promised.

"Greetings to Marquis Dongyang!" Ma Dai cupped his hands.

"Thanks to your cooperation for this encirclement and suppression campaign," Liu Ke said.

"It's just a trivial matter. If Dongyang Hou hadn't defeated the main force of the Japanese, things would not have become so simple." Ma Dai complimented.

"I have prepared some good wine and food. If Vice General Ma doesn't mind, why not sit down and have a drink." Liu Ke said.

"Being obedient is worse than being respectful," Ma Dai said.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then talked about Chang'an.

"Chang'an is a dangerous place, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time. When is Marquis Huaili planning to leave?" Liu Ke asked inadvertently.

Ma Dai thought of Ma Teng's disinterested look, couldn't help but shook his head, and said: "Uncle is loyal to the Han family, I'm afraid he won't give up easily."

give up?Could it be to rescue Emperor Xian?

Liu Ke thought for a while, and found it boring. After the influence of free thinking in later generations, he only maintained basic respect for Emperor Xian. As for obeying orders, it was absolutely impossible.

"Huai Lihou can't understand, don't you understand? Without Liangzhou, you will lose the capital to fight against Cao Cao." Liu Ke shook his head.

"To save His Majesty from the fire and water, uncle has no choice but to go deep into the tiger's den." Ma Dai said.

The words have been said very clearly, and there is no meaning of shyness at all.

"Cao Mengde's ambition is well known. The Marquis of Dongyang helped him take down Sizhou, but unfortunately he didn't appreciate it at all, and turned around and became the leader of the alliance to deal with you. It was a wrong decision when you entrusted Emperor Xian to Cao Mengde." Ma Dai said.

"Nowadays the world is in chaos, and it is a blessing to be able to live the life of a rich man. The most pitiful are the people in the world." Liu Ke said.

"If the Marquis of Dongyang accepts Emperor Xian, and then crusades against the non-officials, the world will be peaceful long ago." Ma Dai said.

Confidence is quite enough.

"To put it simply!" Liu Ke shook his head and said, "Then I would like to ask, if he wants to get in touch with Marquis Huaili's military power, will he be willing?"

Ma Dai thought about it, and found it impossible... He suddenly understood what Dongyang Hou meant. The Han Dynasty was in decline, and the feudal lords had become a climate. Who would want to hand over the power in their hands to others?

This is probably not a fool.

Tao Qian was the first fool, and Kong Rong strived for the second.However, they do so because of a lack of talent.

"I'm also a mortal." Liu Ke said, "If someone can do better than me, maybe it's still possible."

Are there really such people in the world?

Ma Dai thought about it, but he didn't think of it.

"Dongyang Hou is really temperamental!" Ma Dai said.

"If the world is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. The people in the world will suffer the most." Liu Ke said.

"The Marquis of Dongyang cares about the common people, which is admirable." Ma Dai said.

"Although I can't guarantee peace in the world, I will definitely protect the people under my rule to live and work in peace and contentment. Would you like to join us?" Liu Ke said.

Ma Dai was overwhelmed with flattery, at the beginning Ma Dai had some vague guesses, but he didn't expect it to be true, Dongyang Hou recruited him.

However, Ma Dai resolutely rejected Liu Ke when he thought that his uncle Ma Teng was still in danger in Chang'an and he was entrusted by his elder brother Ma Chao to protect his uncle.

"Dongyanghou, I still have a mission."

Regarding this, Liu Ke couldn't force it, and said: "If you encounter difficulties, you can come to Yangzhou to find me."

This kind of forced solicitation has a relatively low success rate. Liu Ke just showed his attitude first to gain a good impression.

Because he knew that something would happen to Ma Teng, and Cao Cao would not let him go if he wanted to capture Liangzhou.

"Thank you Dongyanghou for your kindness!" Ma Dai said excitedly, Dongyanghou is the most committed person and will definitely do what he promised.Even if he said it casually, his uncle had an extra way out.

"Liangzhou is a place of bitter cold, you have worked hard to guard the frontier," Liu Ke said.

"This is what we should do." Ma Dai said.

"I have always admired the soldiers who guard the frontier," Liu Ke said.

"Dongyang Hou speaks seriously, but it's all about eating and drinking, just get used to it." Ma Dai said.

"I have a batch of armor and weapons here. If you have a way to transport them, you can sell them to Liangzhou cheaply." Liu Ke said.

The armor and weapons produced in Yangzhou are recognized as the strongest.

Of course Ma Dai was moved, but Liu Ke was too generous, which made Ma Dai suspicious.

"Why is Marquis Dongyang..."

"I hope to establish friendship with the Ma family in Xiliang, and I don't want Cao Cao to occupy Xiliang. Is this reason enough?" Liu Ke said.

Ma Dai immediately figured out that the Marquis of Dongyang wanted to restrict Cao Cao's development.This point is not harmful to Xiliang Baili.

"Uncle also has some influence in Chang'an, but there is nothing he can do when it comes to the checkpoints set by the army." Ma Dai sighed.
