Chapter 1204: The outstanding person seen in a trance
However, his father's words before his death still bound Ma Teng. Therefore, although Ma Teng was angry at Liu Xie's indifference, he still silently observed the world of the Han Dynasty.
Similar to Xun Yu's way of thinking, Ma Teng didn't really agree with the Han Dynasty's way of taking turns to sit on the throne. He positioned the Han Dynasty as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he was taught to be loyal to the emperor, even though he was hurt before.
Liu Bei is a great man. This was what Ma Teng thought after meeting Liu Bei. In the short period of time when he met Liu Bei, Ma Teng even had the idea that Liu Bei was the emperor.
It's a pity that Liu Bei is not, but this idea shocked Ma Teng. Liu Bei really has the spirit to conquer the world. What should he do if Liu Bei wants to take over after he dominates the world?
Ma Teng had no idea what he would do. He recited the words "The emperor is Liu Xie" silently countless times, but the image of Liu Bei was still engraved in his mind. He was afraid that Liu Bei would become the master of the world. This sentence left a deep impression on him.
Entered Ma Teng's mind.
Ma Teng was extremely conflicted. He liked Liu Bei, and he also wanted to befriend Liu Bei, but this completely conflicted with the education he had always received. In the end, Ma Teng chose to avoid it, ignored him, and just watched.
Just feel free to develop your own family.
If one day the emperor repented, then Ma Teng would still support him. If the emperor still did this, then he could just rest in peace. The descendants of the Ma family have grown up, and they don't need the support of an old man who is nearly fifty years old.
.
Ma Teng can also feel Cao Cao's win over Ma Teng, and until now, Cao Cao has not shown any disloyalty. At most, he is lukewarm. Therefore, in Ma Teng's view, Cao Cao was as hurt as him.
Somewhat cruel.
Therefore, Ma Teng felt that he could understand Cao Cao. However, while understanding Cao Cao, Ma Teng had another question: What was the significance of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's deployment of troops on the border between the two sides?
After thinking about it, Ma Teng finally sighed helplessly. Liu Bei was an outstanding person. Cao Cao and he were also loyalists. The three of them had a common goal, which was to help the Han Dynasty.
In fact, after looking at the current situation of Yongzhou Sili and the situation under Liu Bei's rule, Ma Teng understood that according to the era of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the last years of Emperor Ling, Kuangfu Han Dynasty had basically been considered a success.
Compared with more than ten years ago, the Han Dynasty was no longer in the same situation where bandits were infested and people died of hunger on the road. Land to the tiller and house to the dweller were the mainstream under the rule of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
It can be said that if the remaining parties in the world aim to support the Han Dynasty, they can put their swords and guns in storage now and release Manan Mountain, because the goal has been achieved.
It's a pity that the princes in the world are still at war with each other, especially the war between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, which made Ma Teng understand that he and Liu Bei have different paths. Liu Bei seems to want to aspire to the throne, while he wants to protect the emperor. In Ma Teng's view, this is
The biggest difference between the two sides.
Ma Teng knew that he could not convince Liu Bei. The throne of the Eastern Han Dynasty itself was shared by all clans in the world. Liu Bei was the leader of the current clan. If you say that the throne is destined to me, you can't even argue. Liu Bei is a great person!
Just because he knew that he was a royalist, Ma Teng reluctantly gave up Liu Bei and chose Cao Cao, because Ma Teng felt that Cao Cao had the same mentality as him, and also felt that Cao Cao was a royalist like him, especially Xun Yu, whom Ma Teng deeply felt.
confidant.
Since the core and most resourceful minister under his command was like this, Ma Teng naturally felt that Cao Cao was injured too deeply and severely just like him, but he still had a heart dedicated to the emperor. As for Cao Cao massacring the city, ahem, he is not a human being.
No saint can do anything wrong.
This is also the reason why Ma Teng gradually began to accept Cao Cao's win over. You must know that even Sima Lang and Zhong Yao obviously started to get along with Cao Cao.
Are these two loyal ministers? Of course they are. Zhong Yao and Sima Lang never left the emperor when he was in the most difficult time. They made plans for the emperor, and finally gained a glimmer of hope and attracted Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Ma Teng, and Yuan Shao to come to the rescue.
The emperor comes out of prison.
Are these two people smart? Of course they are smart. Zhong Yao's decisions are never sloppy and are always the most appropriate ones. Sima Lang's words always make people feel like spring breeze and deeply convincing.
These two smart and loyal ministers got along well with Cao Cao, so Cao Cao must be a heartbroken loyal minister like him. So after Ma Teng suddenly realized this, he started to communicate with Cao Cao, and then he discovered that Cao Cao was also a great person!
To fight against a hero, the best way is to find another hero. Cao Cao came into Ma Teng's eyes, a royalist who had the same aspirations as him and was also very capable. Ma Teng silently observed Cao Cao.
The more he observed, the more he felt that Cao Cao was a great person, and he had many powerful generals and ministers under his command. Especially one day, Cao Cao suddenly expressed his intention to befriend him, so Ma Teng walked down the steps.
Cao Ang's appearance in Ma Teng's house was also Ma Teng's tacit approval. Ma Teng really admired Cao Ang. He was also a character. With Cao Ang in the Cao family, he would definitely be better in his future. Therefore, Ma Teng paid attention to Cao Ang who seemed to be beating his own daughter.
Teng Le saw the success.
The male senior should get married, and the female senior should marry. Ma Teng thought that Cao Ang was good, so he naturally opened the door for Cao Ang. It was a pity that Cao Ang was a step late. Otherwise, with Cao Ang's ability, it would not be too difficult to win over Ma Yunlu. Unfortunately,
That's how it is sometimes.
Of course, Ma Teng also admitted that although he and Liu Bei belonged to different Taoist circles and did not conspire with each other, he still admired Liu Bei because he was born in Xiliang, because his family had fallen into poverty, and because he had endured hardship, so he could
Understand Liu Bei's benevolence.
Liu Bei's benevolence is not empty talk, but he has food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in. Therefore, Ma Teng can understand Liu Bei's benevolence, which is even more contradictory.
Emotionally, he wanted to make friends with Liu Bei, but rationally, Ma Teng told Ma Teng that all his methods of making friends with Liu Bei were in vain. He and Liu Bei always had different paths and did not work together. He was a royalist, and
Liu Bei wants to win the title!
This is the core conflict between the two parties. Ma Teng hopes that Liu Bei can assist the emperor as his ultimate goal, but even Ma Teng cannot guarantee that he has the power of Liu Bei to dominate the world and can still maintain his influence on the emperor.
of loyalty.
Ambition is always directly related to one's own strength. At that point, Ma Teng thought about it and realized that he could not maintain his current heart. How could he demand Liu Bei when he respected himself and others? What's more, Liu Bei took turns to sit on the throne. This year
Come to my clan!
In the end, Ma Teng can only choose the path he thinks is right. As a loyal minister, it is not bad to be loyal in the way he thinks is right.
