Chapter 430 Lü Bu: Ma Chao has no bottom line! Su Yu meets Huang Chengyan
"Is this kid really that ruthless?"
Looking at Ma Teng, who had been sent by Ma Dai and looked as if he had lost his parents, Han Sui fell silent.
Last month, Han Sui and Ma Chao met privately.
Ma Chao said to Han Sui:
"Chao is willing to abandon his father and worship you as his father."
With just eight simple words, Han Sui thought Ma Chao was joking.
But to my surprise, this guy was serious!
Han Sui always thought of himself as a ruthless man who had seen a lot.
But then he suddenly realized that compared to Ma Chao, he was a damn "pure good guy"!
Indeed, without comparison, there is no harm.
Han Sui never imagined that one day he would become a good person.
After Ma Chao's messenger left, Han Sui ordered his son-in-law Yan Xing to untie Ma Teng.
Ma Teng exclaimed in surprise:
"Han Wenyue, what are you doing?"
"Shouldn't you have ordered me to be killed?"
Han Sui shook his head:
"If I kill you, wouldn't that be letting that brat Ma Chao get away with it?"
"I, Han Wenyue, am not so blind to such trivial tricks."
"That fellow doesn't want to bear the guilt of killing his father, but do you think I want to bear the guilt of killing my sworn brother?"
"Moreover, I, Han Sui, have known you, Ma Teng, for many years, and we can be considered the most familiar comrades-in-arms."
Hearing Han Sui's nauseating words, Ma Teng looked disgusted.
How can a comrade-in-arms stab you in the back every day?
But at the moment, Han Sui was indeed unwilling to kill Ma Teng.
Firstly, Han Sui was also a Han Chinese. Although his moral standards were quite low among Han Chinese, he was still much better than Ma Chao, who was of mixed race.
Secondly, killing Ma Teng, who had already lost power, would be of no use to Han Sui.
Later, Ma Chao could also use the pretext of avenging Ma Teng to attack Han Sui.
Yes, no doubt about it, Ma Chao is capable of doing this.
After all, they had done it once before in history, and they did it very well.
Ironically, Ma Teng didn't actually die. It was only after Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao and returned to Ye City that he ordered Ma Teng's execution.
Ma Chao's side, on the other hand, announced that Ma Teng was already dead when they raised their army.
He really figured out how to manipulate the sequence of events and the information gap.
"Fine, fine. Since you won't kill me, I'll remember your kindness."
Ma Teng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Han Sui.
This time, I am truly grateful to Han Sui.
Han Sui chuckled:
Don't flatter yourself.
"I won't kill you, but I won't give you any power either."
"From now on, you will serve as my advisor, which will give this old man something to do."
Ma Teng thanked Han Sui once again.
Compared to his rebellious son, his old rival showed more humanity.
But Han Sui immediately instructed his son-in-law Yan Xing to keep a close watch on Ma Teng.
Taking in Ma Teng did not mean that Han Sui trusted Ma Teng.
……
the other side
Chen Gong returned to Anding City, where Lü Bu was located.
Upon hearing about Ma Chao's "filial piety," Lü Bu remained silent.
After a long silence, Lü Bu sighed softly:
"Gongtai, are all the younger generation like Ma Chao these days?"
Chen Gong quickly shook his head:
"Fengxian, you are overthinking it. Only Ma Chao is like this, which is extremely rare in the world."
Lü Bu sighed deeply.
It was Chen Gong who suggested that Ma Chao be promoted.
Ma Chao was impulsive and lacked morality.
Such a person could not possibly genuinely surrender to Cao Cao.
To be honest, even Lu Bu would dislike teammates like that.
This person's moral standards are incredibly low!
Only now does Lü Bu truly understand why the various warlords of the Central Plains regarded him as an outcast.
Can't we not consider them outcasts?
Who would bother stabbing their godfather for fun?
But... compared to Ma Chao, Lü Bu suddenly felt that he was still a civilized and well-mannered person.
Chen Gong cupped his hands towards Lü Bu and said:
"My lord, no matter how low Ma Chao's moral standards are, it has nothing to do with us."
"But now that Cao Cao intends to conquer the south, this is the perfect opportunity for us to storm into the Central Plains and return to Chang'an!"
Lu Bu nodded, his eyes once again gleaming with ambition.
Chen Gong proposed a plan to Lü Bu: to dominate the Guanzhong Plain, then occupy Hanzhong and Yizhou, form an alliance with Sun Quan, and jointly resist Cao Cao.
In other words, it's a disguised three-way power struggle.
Of course, the prerequisite is to capture Chang'an and the Guanzhong Plain.
Otherwise, merely occupying Liangzhou would not be enough to make him a worthy opponent of Cao Cao, who controlled several northern provinces.
At present, Lü Bu's power is not yet sufficient to annex Liangzhou.
Joining forces with Ma Chao and Han Sui became an inevitable step.
Under Chen Gong's planning, the three families formed an alliance and actively prepared for war.
They planned to launch a blitzkrieg against Chang'an and the Guanzhong Plain while Cao Cao was attacking Jiangdong!
……
Xiangyang
Huang Chengyan arrived at this place under the guidance of Huang She.
Su Yu personally received Huang Chengyan.
Seeing Huang Chengyan's restraint, Su Yu asked:
"I've heard that Mr. Huang has a daughter who is still unmarried. Is that true?"
Huang Chengyan looked on warily.
Su Yu practically wore his thoughts on his sleeve: I've got my eye on your daughter!
But Huang Chengyan cherished his daughter Huang Yueying dearly.
In order to prevent his daughter from getting married, he deliberately spread rumors that his daughter was extremely ugly and would never be able to get married.
But Sima Hui was such a cunning fellow!
As the most outstanding socialite in Jingzhou, Sima Hui arranged the marriage between Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying.
Of course, that was something that happened in the past.
At present, Zhuge Liang is still wandering, and Sima Hui is also still wandering.
Faced with Su Yu's blunt words, Huang Chengyan looked embarrassed.
"Reporting to the Commandant of the Guards, my daughter is of plain appearance and has no intention of getting married."
"Oh? Mr. Huang, are you perhaps trying to deceive me?"
Su Yu's every word and action already exuded the aura of someone in a superior position.
With a slight exertion of pressure, Huang Chengyan immediately felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him.
"Hahaha, Mr. Huang, don't be nervous."
"Whether your daughter is ugly or not is none of my business."
"However, I, the Commandant of the Guards, admire and appreciate talented women, and wish to meet your daughter. Would that be permissible?"
Huang Chengyan broke out in a cold sweat.
Does he have the right to refuse?
The answer is no.
Su Yu had already determined that Huang Yueying was not an ugly woman.
He secretly sent a female intelligence officer to infiltrate the vicinity of Huang Chengyan's residence in Jiangxia to see Huang Yueying's appearance.
Therefore, Su Yu wasn't opening blind boxes, nor did he have the leisure or inclination to do so.
"Since Lord Wei has invited you, this old man... will introduce you to him."
Huang Chengyan sighed.
He doesn't have very high emotional intelligence.
He spends all day doing carpentry and doesn't have much time to socialize.
Only Sima Hui, that old socialite, set her sights on Huang Chengyan.
Otherwise, Huang Chengyan would have had almost no friends in Jingzhou.
Looking at Su Yu, who was determined to win, Huang Chengyan decided to have Huang Yueying make him look ugly and find something to cover his face.
But what he didn't know was.
Let alone Huang Yueying.
Su Yu even planned to get rid of himself.
But by marrying Huang Yueying, the two became father-in-law and son-in-law, which made it easier for Su Yu to assign Huang Chengyan important responsibilities.
