No wonder the two of them were so surprised, Ma Chao was very special under Liu Bei.
Ma Chao has a very high status under Liu Bei. Even though he is a demoted general, he is on an equal footing with Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Huang.
When Liu Bei became king, the officials wrote to persuade him to join the imperial court. Ma Chao's name was at the first place, higher than Guan, Zhang and Zhuge.
The reason why Ma Chao has such a high status is that he was a prince before he surrendered to Liu Bei.
Secondly, Ma Chao has a very high prestige among the ethnic minorities in the southwest and northwest. Liu Bei needs to use Ma Chao's 'name', so he naturally has to give him a high position.
However, although Ma Chao has a high status, he has never had real power.
The reason is naturally that Ma Chao's behavior of cheating his own father to death was even worse than Lu Bu's. This made Liu Bei very taboo and did not dare to reuse such a person with bad conduct.
He doesn’t care about his father’s life or death, but would he care about his boss’s life?
Now Liu Chan proposed to let Ma Chao accompany him, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang subconsciously rejected it.
"Adou, why are you...Do you think of General Zuo?"Liu Bei was very curious.
Normally, Liu Chan and Ma Chao have nothing to do with each other, let alone friendship.
Even if Liu Chan doesn't like Wei Yan, it's normal to ask Wu Yi to accompany him, but asking Ma Chao is too strange.
"Because General Zuo is relatively idle. Liu Chan answered happily.
This answer can be said to surprise the two of them, but after careful consideration, it makes sense.
Ma Chao has a high position but not much power. He is more like a"mascot" under Liu Bei.
Not only does he not have to participate in political affairs, he also has military power. There is none at all. He can be said to be the most idle person among the ministers.
"Now that Nanzheng has just been established as the capital, the Battle of Hanzhong has just come to an end. There is still fighting in the Dongsan County. My father is at the time of employing people. Which general he sends to leave with his son will have an impact on his father."
"Only General Zuo, regardless of his presence or absence, will not affect the future employment of his father."
"Moreover, General Zuo's personal bravery and commanding skills are not to mention. He is more than capable of taking care of the safety of his sons and ministers, so as not to worry his father."
"A Dou is interested."
When his son went on a long journey, he did not forget to consider his father. Liu Bei was greatly comforted.
"Your Majesty, I think Adou’s proposal is a good one. Zhuge Liang agreed,"General Zuo has a high position and has not been appointed for a long time. He will inevitably feel depressed.""
"Accompanying Adou to Jingzhou can also give General Zuo something to do, so that he won't be too bored."
"Besides, Adou is the heir apparent, so General Zuo doesn't mind building a good relationship and will gladly accept this job."
Although Liu Chan is still a child, he has been clearly established as the heir to the country.
Even a person of Ma Chao's level will definitely want to have a good relationship with his future boss.
"Well, I'll tell General Zuo later."Liu Bei readily agreed.
The reason why Liu Chan wanted to take Ma Chao was because he had some calculations.
In addition to the unsuitability of other important ministers, there was another crucial reason.
Pound!
If the battle of Xiangfan really started, then Pound would definitely Will appear on the front line.
Historically, Yu Jin gave up, but Pound would rather die than surrender.
Pound is also a brave general, and he used to be under the command of Ma Chao.
If Ma Chao, the old master, personally persuades him to surrender, maybe it is not impossible for Pound to surrender to the Han.
"Father, General Zuo is an elder after all, why don't you invite me in person? Liu Chan suggested
"That's fine."Liu Bei nodded repeatedly.
Although Ma Chao is a mascot, he is a high-level mascot after all.
This time, Ma Chao was asked to act as a bodyguard. Liu Chan felt that he should be given enough respect. After all, it is not strange to have many people.
"In this case, I will retire first and go to General Zuo's mansion to pay a visit."Liu Chan bowed and saluted the two of them.
"Go ahead."Liu Bei smiled and nodded.
After Liu Chan turned around and left, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang beside him and said:"Kong Ming, you taught Adou very well. You can feel at ease even after being alone for a hundred years."
"The king’s words are serious."Zhuge Liang said quickly:"Adou is already smart and has the wisdom of an adult since he was a child. I don't dare to take credit for it."
"Moreover, your Majesty is at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the country of Han Dynasty is still waiting for you to unify it."
"Hahaha~" Liu Bei suddenly laughed, took Zhuge Liang's hand and said:"Then let's encourage each other!"
As long as Jingzhou is not lost and Guan Yu is not dead, the situation on Liu Bei's side is indeed very good.
It seems that the strategic concept in"Longzhong Dui" has been completed and the goal of three points in the world has been achieved.
Now there is only one last step to go northward. Attack the Central Plains and clean up the old mountains and rivers.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have every reason to believe, and even firmly believe that they will definitely win in the future!
"However, the Cao thief is powerful and controls half of the country, so the king needs to be careful."Zhuge Liang immediately advised him.
Zhuge was always cautious in his life, and he spoke very highly of Cao Cao, saying that Cao Cao's use of troops was like Sun Tzu and Wu Qi's resurrection.
"Kong Ming is right. Liu Bei also felt the same way,"Sun Quan is just a kid, Cao Cao is Gu's lifelong enemy.""
"If Cao Cao is anxious, I will be lenient; if Cao Cao is violent, I will be benevolent; if Cao Cao is cunning, I will be loyal. Whenever you go against Cao Cao, things will work out!"Liu Bei said firmly, believing that as long as he did the opposite with Cao Cao, he would be able to achieve success.
