[293] I'm also going to Wangxianglou to find a girl
Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan met Cao Cao and gave his suggestion to Cao Cao. Cao Cao had been thinking about the idea of defeating the enemy without fighting for a long time. However, in order to implement it, he must know himself and the enemy in order to survive a hundred battles. For this reason, Cao Cao
He expressed his worries...
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while and said: "Well, as for you, don't make any big moves yet. I see that your army has a lot of people, and I heard that you have been marching in a hurry, so the soldiers must be very tired.
Coupled with the climate difference between the north and the south, the soldiers are not very adaptable to the climate in the south... Well... Well... let's station here first and take some time to rest and recuperate. Time, personally.
Make it look like the moon."
Cao Cao heard this and said hurriedly: "How can that be done? My people are here. What are we doing in this small county? Besides, this food and grass..."
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes and said, "Young master, you were crying for food and grass during the Battle of Guandu, and now you are doing this again."
Cao Cao said: "Master Shangxian, I am wronged. I was indeed short of food and grass during the Battle of Guandu."
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes at Cao Cao angrily and said, "What about now? You are sitting on several major states in the north, and you have implemented farming. You can't handle it for a month? Who are you kidding?"
Cao Cao chuckled and said: "I can't hide anything from Master Shangxian, hehe, but... Master Shangxian, it's not a problem for me to just stay here, right? I have to do something."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "I have already thought it out for you. As for the general direction, you have to spread the word that your millions of troops are coming to conquer Liu Cong. On the other hand, you can send people to contact the nobles in Jingzhou.
Cao, I know you don't have a good impression of the gentry, but for the sake of the overall situation, you have to do this... Well, you and Zhongde can discuss what to do specifically. As for Liu Cong, you have to
Find someone who can convince him."
When Cao Cao heard this, he murmured: "Who can persuade Liu Cong? Well." Cao Cao looked at Ma Xiaoquan and suddenly said, "Master Shangxian, what do you think about your going?"
On the surface, Ma Xiaoquan seems to be calm about the past and present, but he is secretly happy.
When it comes to people who can persuade Liu Cong, Cao Cao really can't think of a better candidate besides Ma Xiaoquan. After all, Ma Xiaoquan came to Jingzhou before him, and it is said that he also had a heated relationship with some nobles and nobles in Jingzhou. Furthermore, Ma Xiaoquan was around
The twin brothers seemed to be the nobles of Jingzhou.
Cao Cao thought that Ma Xiaoquan disagreed, so he respectfully asked again: "I beg you, Master Shangxian, to help me, Mr. Cao, with this small favor."
Ma Xiao's expression was full of embarrassment, and he said, "Help you? How can I help you?"
Cao Cao's chest tightened, and he thought to himself: Isn't this stupid devil trying to take the opportunity to blackmail me for money again?
Cao Cao was right. Ma Xiaoquan was indeed thinking about how to blackmail Cao Cao's money. Of course, there were many ways to blackmail people. What Ma Xiaoquan was thinking about the most now was how to blackmail to the point where it was invisible and Cao Cao was willing to do so.
Cao Cao was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, tell me, how much money do you want?"
Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head and pondered, as if it was difficult to make a decision. After a while, he raised his head and said to Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, there is one of my men outside your camp..."
Cao Cao immediately understood and said quickly: "Hurry up... let me in quickly, hehe!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and shouted to the outside of the camp: "You bastard Ma Yu, come in here."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, Ma Yu entered the camp with a flattering look on his face, along with Murong Ziyan and Zhang Liao.
When Zhang Liaoyi saw Cao Cao, he immediately knelt down on one knee and apologized: "My lord, I know that I have sinned, so please punish me!"
Cao Cao stepped forward and supported Zhang Liao, muttering "Wen Yuan is not guilty", but his eyes had already glanced at Murong Ziyan.
Cao Cao's eyes fell on Murong Ziyan, and Murong Ziyan immediately felt a hot breath coming towards her.
"Ahem!" Ma Xiaoquan deliberately coughed a few times. Cao Cao then looked away and laughed dryly: "Master Shangxian is so lucky. Such a beautiful little lady, who is the wife of Master Shangxian?"
Ma Xiaoquan blushed and said, "Well, it's not decided yet."
Ma Yu answered: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, Miss Murong is my master's eighth wife."
"Eighth Madam?" Cao Cao thought for a moment and said with a sigh, "It seems that Master Shangxian still misses the Seventh Madam who died early, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes at Ma Yu and thought to himself: The brat is the longest, I will deal with you when I get out.
The Seventh Madam Qingyi, Ma Xiaoquan has always claimed to the outside world that she died young. Apart from him and several other ladies, the only people who knew the existence of the Seventh Madam were his close associates in the Ma family compound. Ma Yu had naturally met Qingyi, and this was also
Why could Ma Yu blurt out that Murong Ziyan would become the Eighth Lady?
However, fortunately, Cao Cao didn't know about it. Cao Cao thought that Ma Xiaoquan missed Qing Yi, so he definitely thought that it would be okay for Murong Ziyan to be the eighth. After all, the number of wives he had in his fifties was already close to twenty.
Ma Xiaoquan coughed twice again, pointed at Ma Yu, and said to Cao Cao: "My subordinate and his compatriots are getting married, but I am in Jingzhou now, and it just so happens that the wives of these two brats are married to me.
Sister, look, this dowry issue..."
After Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, he deliberately raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao felt a chill go down his back, but he still closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and agreed: "Master Xian, don't worry about the dowry. I will send someone to prepare it right now."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he laughed with great satisfaction and said, "Xiao Cao, you really provide help in times of need."
Cao Cao's heart was bleeding, but he still had to pretend to be humble and respectful on the surface. Cheng Yu, who had been silent, looked at him, suppressing a smile, and pinched his thigh hard several times.
Cao Cao is not a fool. Since Master Shangxian accepted the dowry, then the matter of persuading Liu Cong...
Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately said: "Master Shangxian, what about Liu Cong..."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Don't worry, Liu Cong is left to me."
Cao Cao worried: "But Liu Cong relied on the support of the Cai family. I'm afraid Liu Cong is also a puppet."
Ma Xiaoquan said confidently: "The Cai family, a small Jingzhou noble family, dares to make trouble in front of me. If the Cai family dares to stop me, I don't mind killing them first and then reporting them."
Although Ma Xiaoquan said the second half of his sentence very calmly, his domineering power had already been revealed. Luckily for Cao Cao, he was also a heroic figure, and he and Ma Xiaoquan had been friends for a long time.
Cheng Yu and Murong Ziyan were different. The latter was shocked because he didn't understand Ma Xiaoquan, while the former was scared.
Cheng Yu thought to himself: Fortunately, this demon seems to be on the same front as the Lord, otherwise, it would be unimaginable.
...
Once the idea was decided, Cao Cao went ahead and wrote several silk letters himself. The contents of the letters were very simple, nothing more than some polite and friendly words, but they had only one central idea.
Either obey me or be exterminated by me.
Ma Xiaoquan did not tell Cao Cao that writing this way would have no effect. On the contrary, he wanted this result.
It is not uncommon for Cao Cao to have conflicts with the nobles. When he killed Bian Cang, then Kong Rong, and even Cui Yan when he was old, he showed his disdain for the nobles, so... even if Cao Cao wrote this
If you believe it, I'm afraid it won't have much effect.
Cao Cao has a big problem. As long as he is proud, he will easily become complacent, and the degree of complacency is very strong.
He wrote several letters to Cao Cao, but he didn't take the Jingzhou gentry seriously at all. In his heart, the gentry insulted him much more than those ordinary people. The reason is very simple, because
He was unattractive because of his short stature and because he was a eunuch.
Cheng Yu did not persuade the lord to change the wording of the letter. He understood that as long as the lord made a decision, the lord would never look back unless he bumped into a stone.
Putting down his pen, Cao Cao raised his head proudly, smiled at Ma Xiaoquan, and said: "Master Shangxian, how is my letter? Do you think those guys in Jingzhou will come forward immediately after reading my letter?
Come and show your sincerity to me, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said against his will: "This shouldn't be a big problem. Of course, the main thing is to look at Liu Cong."
Cao Cao nodded: "Of course I have to ask Master Shangxian for this."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed, patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and said: "Of course, by the way, Xiao Cao, there is a place called Fancheng in Jingzhou. I am currently living there temporarily. There is Wangxiang Tower in Fancheng, eh, eh,
This girl from Wangxianglou..." Before Ma Xiaoquan could finish his words, Murong Ziyan beside him snorted with a blushing face.
When Cao Cao heard that there was a woman, he immediately became energetic. He approached Ma Xiaoquan and whispered: "Master Shangxian, please tell the truth. Is your eighth lady the number one girl in Wangxiang Tower?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, chuckled, and said nothing.
The top girl in Wangxiang Tower is not Murong Ziyan, nor the Dongfang sisters, but Ximen Wuhen, who was fucked by Ma Xiaoquan. Unfortunately, since that incident, not to mention Ximen Wuhen, even Zi Xiao has disappeared.
.
"Hey!" Ma Xiaoquan sighed, patted Cao Cao's shoulder again, turned around and pulled Murong Ziyan out of the tent.
Smelling the faint fragrance left by Murong Ziyan after she left, Cao Cao murmured: "Damn it, after I capture Jingzhou, I will also go to Wangxiang Tower to find the girl, hum!"
In front of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Zhang Liao looked at each other at the same time, and then quietly lowered their heads.
