The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 86 Trust Ma Chao
Trust Ma Chao
In the quiet study room, Liu Bei gently mixed the tea, and the fragrance of the tea traveled along the spout of the teapot to the whole room; but some people didn't like it, Zhuge Qiao supported his head and meditated, not enjoying the whole room at all. Tea fragrance.

Liu Bei was unwilling to use Ma Chao's Xiliang iron cavalry. This is indeed quietly similar to history, but history has no end, but Zhuge Qiao was unwilling to obey.

Rearranged the train of thought "Your Majesty, Sifang, a famous iron cavalry town in Xiliang, why not use it?"

Liu Bei took a sip of tea and replied slowly: "Does Bo Song think that I really don't want to use this cavalry? It's just that the Xiliang cavalry is now guarding the north to prevent Cao Pi and the Qiang from invading the country. If they are transferred back to Chengdu to control the north, it will be uneasy "Liu Bei said.

This made Zhuge Qiao even more confused. Even if the Xiliang iron cavalry came to Chengdu to participate in the military parade, they would not participate in the whole army, so how could it be related to the peace of the north? The opportunity to fight caused Ma Chao to die in depression at the age of 47;
'Wanrenshan Pass is still there today, but General Ma is nowhere to be seen. Zhuge Qiao suddenly thought of the inscription on Ma Chao's tomb for later generations, and God's will let me be Zhuge Qiao, so I must do what Zhuge Qiao should do, Zhuge Qiao thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, can you trust the last general?" Zhuge Qiao suddenly clasped his fists together.

"Why would Bosong ask such a question! I should trust Bosong," Liu Bei replied with some surprise.

"Since your majesty trusts the general, why should your majesty cover up? Please tell me the truth, why didn't you transfer General Ma to participate in this military parade?" Zhuge Qiao walked out of the tea table and suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Bei;
I have arranged for Ma Jing to be Ma Chao's adoptive son, to develop his power, and to deliver medicines and cures for Ma Chao, and there is nothing he does that is not for the sake of the Shu Han, so no matter what, I must do my best to make Liu Bei trust Ma Chao, only by forming a huge Xiliang iron cavalry can he fight against Cao Wei.

But it also made Liu Bei at a loss. He had never imagined that Zhuge Qiao's reaction would be so huge, and he was curious why the mention of Ma Chao made Zhuge Qiao so excited.

"Bo Song asked this question, and I told him the truth; in the past, Ma Chao was a prince of one party, and he led Xiliang iron cavalry to raid the Guanzhong area, killing Cao Cao. He cut off his beard and broke his robe, and then surrendered to Zhang Lu, and then surrendered to me; However, I dare not use him again. After all, he was once a prince, and An Neng sincerely surrendered. If there is an army in the future, what can I do when I return to Liangzhou? Although I named him Liangzhou Shepherd and Hussar The general also comforted him, and used his name to frighten Cao Jun and the Qiang people, but he dared not reuse it." Liu Bei said slowly, his eyes seemed to reveal helplessness.

It turned out that, as later generations said, Liu Bei was afraid of entrusting real power because he was worried that Ma Chao would rebel. Beheaded by a rebel general, and the last son Ma Qiu also died at the hands of Zhang Lu, what is the significance of his rebellion and no descendants; Zhuge Qiao thought about it.

It's just that Liu Bei created the foundation with great difficulty, and Ma Chao has no faith, so how dare he use it;

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that Ma Chao has no reason to rebel, and since he has no descendants to inherit, what's the point of rebelling?" Zhuge Qiao said slowly.

"Perhaps Bo Song doesn't know. I heard that Ma Chao found his lost son last year and called Ma Jing. No matter whether he has clan power or not, I'm really worried about Ma Chao's influence in Xiliang and among the Qiang people. Let him take the real power," Liu Bei said helplessly.

His eyes were dull, as if he had drifted towards Wudu, watching Ma Chao's every move.

But Zhuge Qiao rolled his eyes helplessly. He didn't expect that the Ma Jing placed under Ma Chao in the past would become the reason why Liu Bei guarded against Ma Chao today; he smiled bitterly, but he was not prepared to tell Liu Bei the reason of this matter. Liu Bei knew the truth, but he didn't know if he would be suspected, after all, the edge he showed was too sharp.

But he was unable to persuade Liu Bei to reuse Ma Chao.With the fact of your ex, even if you have the eloquence of eloquence, there is nothing you can do. It seems that this is the only way, Zhuge Qiao thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, if the last general is willing to use his life to guarantee that the Hussar General will not rebel, can your majesty believe it?" Zhuge Qiao continued to kneel in front of Liu Bei and begged for his life.

Liu Bei didn't seem to react, and stared at Zhuge Qiao in bewilderment;
What is he thinking, should I believe him?Why did he dare to guarantee Ma Chao with his life?Ma Chao, can I use it now?Liu Bei was haunted by these questions.

When he came back to his senses, "Bo Song is really sure, or is there another reason?" Liu Bei asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, since the last general dares to use his life as a guarantee, he must be sure that Ma Chao will not be rebellious. Please believe it. In the past, Ma Chao rebelled against Cao Cao because he had great power in Liangzhou, but now his power has declined. They were all slaughtered by Cao Cao, and they had established a bloody feud with Cao Cao; this is why he rebelled against Zhang Lu and joined our army, because our army is powerful and can help him avenge, so the final general asserts that Ma Chao has no reason to rebel, and he will definitely not rebel. What a move," Zhuge Qiao continued to kneel down.

There is only so much he can do and say, if Liu Bei no longer trusts him, he will have to resign himself to fate.

Liu Bei picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, his movements were extremely slow, as if he was struggling for something.Frowning tightly, "Forget it! Then transfer two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, a total of 2 soldiers, to the national military parade on New Year's Eve." Liu Bei made a difficult choice; after all, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but trust him at this time, let alone Invite with life.

"Your Majesty is wise" Zhuge Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he once again changed the course of the entire history.

"Bo Song, don't kneel down, the tea is almost cold; you haven't told me where you've been for more than a month, what's the matter?" Liu Bei said softly with a smile;
Zhuge Qiao randomly returned to his position, but he also felt that Liu Bei's ability to transform emotions is too strong. He was still making difficult choices just now, but the next moment it seemed like nothing happened.

"Returning to Your Majesty, when the last general was on an envoy to Soochow, he heard that there was a great talent in Runan County, but he could not be reused; the last general was interested at that time, so after leaving Wuchang City, he went to Runan Looking for this person," Zhuge Qiao said slowly;

Liu Bei is in a good mood!

"Can you find this person?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked;

"waiting outside"

"Quickly pass him in"

"Nuo" said Zhuge Qiao immediately got up and walked out of the house; Deng Ai was extremely anxious, the captain and His Majesty talked for nearly half an hour, but they didn't hear that there would be any accidents to him, Deng Ai was thinking.

In the blink of an eye, someone followed Zhuge Qiao and walked in; who else would it be if it wasn't Deng Ai!

"Your Majesty is this person. His surname is Deng and his name is Ai Shizai." Zhuge Qiao bowed to Liu Bei.

Immediately Deng Ai knelt down and said: "Deng Ai, a grass-roots man, pay homage to Your Majesty"
