Xu Bang and Wang Kai looked at her and were shocked. Therefore, what she said was actually the key to internal governance.

"Be vigilant and impartial, don't enjoy too much, let alone be too paranoid, and what determines the future is not forgetting your ambitions. Likewise, don't change your ambitions, rush forward, work hard to achieve the same goal, and don't get caught up in internal strife.

The corruption of oneself is absolutely unavoidable. This internal strife includes the internal struggle within oneself, and also includes the internal power disputes. How many civil strifes arise from within and are defeated, don’t hesitate!”

Wang Kai and Xu Si cupped their hands and said, "We both know it well. We will live up to the expectations of the young master and will never let up our supervision."

"Whether it's a thousand-year-old tree or a thousand-mile ship, it will only be destroyed sooner or later if it is destroyed from within, so this is a confidential job of the internal review," Lu Xian said: "Everything from now on will depend on the two of you! Not only Xuzhou, not only Huainan, from now on

, wherever my father and I get, we need the people of the Supervision Department to check both internally and externally. This is an important matter for thousands of years and must not be neglected. From now on, it all depends on you two. In the future, Xuzhou will

On your shoulders!"

The two said: "I will definitely live up to this important responsibility!"

The three of them chatted until late at night, and then Xu Bang and Wang Kai returned home happily. They were carried in a car and sent back to their house slightly drunk.

Lu Bu fell asleep early. Hearing this, he really wanted to sleep. And he really fell asleep!

Lu Xian could only let him sleep. Who could lift him when he was fast asleep?!

Even Yan and Diao Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After they were settled and covered with thin quilts, Lu Bu was allowed to rest.

"Tomorrow we will have a formal banquet with Ma Chao," Lu Xian said, "Send someone to say hello to Chen Gong and Jia Xu early in the morning. This must not be rude. It is a real big deal!"

With the internal affairs settled, the matter of diplomatic alliance will be put on the agenda.

Although this is an ironclad matter, the princes interact with each other with courtesy, and Ma Chao can be regarded as a hereditary son. No matter how familiar he is, he cannot break the courtesy.

Therefore, the family has been making arrangements.

Diao Chan said: "We have arranged for someone to inform us early in the morning. This matter is important, and even if we don't know about it, Prime Minister Chen and Master Jia will not miss it."

Lu Bu's father and daughter, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs personally entertained him. This is considered the highest level of diplomatic etiquette.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished," Lu Xian said: "No matter how familiar I am with Ma Chao, the etiquette must be so thorough that no one can find fault with it. Ma Chao's temperament is unruly, arrogant and domineering. Now that we are familiar with each other, I

Even if I don't treat you politely, he won't take it to heart. However, people's hearts can change. When he returns to Liangzhou one day and recalls what happened now, he will inevitably be unhappy and say that I treat him lightly. If someone provokes him again

Get up, what nonsense can't you say? If we father and daughter regard him as a benefactor as much as we call a wolf to call a dog, I'm afraid he will really take it seriously!"

Diao Chan frowned and said: "Is this person's character really that bad?!"

"That's right. Such a provocation, if it comes from Xuan Gao, Uncle Gao and the others, will not be able to win hearts, but Ma Chao is different." Lu Xian said: "So, it doesn't hurt to be more casual with your own people, but it will be more

To show closeness and not see outsiders. However, when it comes to Ma Chao, you must be polite to your allies and warm to your friends, so there is nothing wrong with that."

Diao Chan thought thoughtfully and said: "So, this person is a volatile villain?!"

"He is a gentleman, but he is also a villain," Lu Xian said, "You can't look at him with normal eyes."

Diao Chan understood that this person was definitely extremely complicated, and said: "Tomorrow's banquet will definitely not be disrespectful. I will keep an eye on it, and there won't be any mistakes!"

"After all, she is a duke," Lu Xian said: "After a duke, it's hard to be proud of her pride. We have to rely on him to form an alliance with Xiliang."

In fact, Lu Xian has no confidence whether he will betray him in the future.

But how can there be permanent friends?! Allies are only temporary relationships.

Diao Chan said: "Although I haven't seen him in person, I heard that he was very effective in escorting the young master along the way, and he was so familiar with the young master, and he was also happy for the young master. I thought he was another loyal person like Xuan Gao. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the case.

Different.”

"Allies and subordinates are different." Lu Xian said: "Zang Ba and others entrusted their lives and property to me, the Lu family. They are our own people in the same boat. Allies are different."

"I understand." Diao Chan said.

When Ma Chao received the banquet invitation from Lu Bu himself, he knew that it was a formal banquet. With such formal specifications, it was Ma Chao who was invited, rather it was to treat him with courtesy. Ma Teng's son, the queen of Xiliang Ma family. This

It is a kind of hospitality for status, with a more formal meaning.

Ma Chao knew in his heart that she was going to nail the alliance to death.

A formal alliance requires a letter of alliance and conditions need to be negotiated.

Ma Chaozhen is not the kind of second generation who doesn't understand anything, but he understands very well what kind of conditions he has to put forward for the vital interests of Xiliang and the Ma family, which are in the best interests, what official positions, benefits, interests, they all

Although they don't take it lightly, in fact, what they really care about is the same as the Lu family, they care about their independence and the rights of the real lord of Liangzhou.

Everything is easy to talk about, but it must be in line with the interests of the Ma family, the interests of Liangzhou, and the common interests of the Ma family and Liangzhou. In other words, the Ma family and Liangzhou are an inseparable whole. If anything goes against this fundamental

, there is no need to talk about it.

What Cao Cao is doing is to tear the Ma family away from Liangzhou, a place where soldiers and self-esteem are strong. Because Ma family is disobedient. He wants to replace him with someone who is obedient. In fact, it is okay not to change him, but Ma family refuses to obey.

He can't be conquered, so he can only be changed.

As for Xuzhou, they must be talking about something else, because it is impossible to conquer the Ma family at this time, and they are not qualified to tear him from Liangzhou.

Ma Chao understood better that it was in Xuzhou's interests that the Ma family firmly controlled Liangzhou at this time, just like Liu Qi firmly occupied the identity of the eldest son of the shepherd of Jingzhou.

And how to maximize and use Ma to achieve common interests is the top priority.

And this must be in line with the common interests of the two Lü and Ma families, otherwise this banquet would not be possible.

Ma Chao had no reason to refuse. He had made this decision on the way here, otherwise he would not have come at all.

This will be a strategic banquet about Liangzhou's establishment, or a tacit understanding.

He accepted the invitation and walked into the army, where he saw the herdsmen selecting good horses. When he asked, he found out that the craftsmen were looking for good horses to breed and mate.

Ma Chao was speechless. It turned out that what she said was true, and the efficiency was too fast. She had just come back and she had already arranged it!?

This woman can even borrow horses, what else can she not borrow!? Now she wants to borrow the power of Liangzhou?!

While walking and thinking about it, I met Sima Yi.

Ma Chao stepped forward and said: "Such a trivial matter, Military Advisor Lao personally looks at it, why is it so?!"

"It may be a small matter, but it is important. If the horses are frightened, they will inevitably lose control and trample them. We cannot bear the consequences, so we can only watch," Sima Yi said with a smile: "Why does Meng Qi look worried?!"

Ma Chao glanced at him and sneered in his heart. This guy's expression didn't change. Did he really not know why he was worried? He was quite good at acting. The people of the Ma family who were descended from warriors really had nothing to do with this kind of noble family.

It was possible to talk about it, so he casually said: "Xiang Wen, the military advisor, has outstanding talents and virtues and is well-known abroad. I wonder if he has any insight into this battle between Cao and Yuan?!"

Sima Yi still looked calm and said: "How can Yi dare to evaluate such a major event easily? It is beyond my control, and I don't dare to have any opinions. It is Meng Qi who thinks highly of Yi. Yi has been favored by Marquis Wen and can be regarded as a military advisor."

The position is already a heavy responsibility, so we should be cautious, lest our talents and virtues are not up to the task, and we may betray our trust.”

"Without any insight, the military advisor has admitted that he is incompetent?" Ma Chao said.

These words are so unpleasant that most people’s complexions would have changed long ago.

When he disagreed with Sima Yi, his expression did not change, but that did not mean that he could swallow his anger, so he smiled and replied: "Meng Qi really has a true temper. Among the ministers, it is rare to see a person with such a temper as Meng Qi.

." Sima Yi is actually an arrogant person. He can give in to Lu Bu, but what is the overall situation that he is so afraid of?! There is no way he would have to endure it for the sake of Lu Bu's overall situation. Therefore, he is not polite, neither soft nor hard.

Go back! As a military advisor, he only ensures that Lu Bu does not die. Even if it is his duty, this can be regarded as a tacit understanding between him and Lu Xian. The rest, haha, he is not like Chen Gong who works hard and swallows his anger for the sake of the overall situation, especially if he tolerates this shit

The kid is angry and seeking alliance through diplomacy is none of his business!

What does it mean?!

Ma Chao was furious and his face turned green. He sneered and said: "You are already a high-ranking military advisor. How arrogant you are to be so rude to a guest from Xuzhou! You don't have even a trace of diplomatic etiquette. You are indeed a person who doesn't care about the overall situation!"

Sima Yi still smiled lightly, and managed his expression very accurately, saying: "If we talk about inferiority, I'm afraid no one can be better than Meng Qi. Even Marquis Wen is ashamed of himself!"

Ma Chao's face cracked with anger, and he said angrily: "Sima Yi!"

Sima Yi was calm and calm. He didn't believe that he would dare to take action and smiled calmly. That expression, how should I put it, made Ma Chao's face extremely ugly.

What he means is that this is Xuzhou’s territory after all, and you are not from Xuzhou after all.

Five thousand elites, are they enough to fight a battle in Xuzhou?!

I'm afraid that even if I can't escape, I'll be wiped out.

If you are wise, don't do anything, no matter in terms of feelings or this factor, it will look good on everyone's face.

Although he didn't say anything, Ma Chao was not a fool, how could he not see this faint threat?!

Seeing that the soldiers around him were getting nervous, Ma Chao snorted coldly, turned around and left!

He was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, but he got up in the middle of the night and drank some wine, and went to the Wenhou Mansion for a banquet early the next morning.

At this time, Chen Gong and Jia Xu have not arrived yet, because he came too early.

He was also very skilled, so he went in to look for Lu Xian without anyone reporting him. Once he went in to look for her, he would say bad things about Sima Yi. It was not bad words, it was the truth.

"Sima Yi's heart is not in Xuzhou, can you really trust him?" Ma Chao said unwillingly.

When Lu Xian heard that there was no reason for this, she guessed it and said: "What are you doing to have a conflict with him?! Aren't you asking for trouble?!"

"Lu Xian!" Ma Chao said with a dark face: "I was talking to you about business, and he was rude to me! He doesn't care about Xuzhou's position at all. Such a person will offend others lightly in the future. He did it on purpose.

Do you understand? You don’t care about offending me, nor do you care about Xuzhou’s position of wanting to ally with me. This person is very destructive, do you understand it?!”

"Then what? Kill him?" Lu Xian said: "Meng Qi, you don't even know how to file a complaint. He is the person I tried so hard to find, and you just want to provoke him, so why don't you count the cost to me?

!When the time comes, I will have to be ridiculed, losing my wife and losing my troops."

Ma Chao was very angry and said: "Are you confident that you can suppress someone like him?! If he wants to trick you, he has many ways."

"I believe Zhongda, if I am rude to you, the consequences will not be big." Lu Xian said.
