Liu Yu raised his glass and said, "Please!" He drank it all in one go.

Ma Yuan also poured a glass of wine, and suddenly his expression froze. The little emperor stared at Ma Yuan with a good show, waiting to see him frowning and grinning, spitting out the wine in his mouth like those who had first drunken wine.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yuan just stopped for a moment, then lowered his head slightly, swallowed the wine in his mouth. Then he opened his mouth, yelled a long sigh, and said, "Your Majesty, this wine is really good wine!"

Liu Yu was a little impressed by him. He was used to drinking several degrees of rice wine. He had no mental preparation for such a glass of 60 degrees of white wine. He could maintain his composure. It seemed that Ma Yuan was a real alcoholic.

The two drank a few more drinks of each other, and Ma Yuan praised Gaojiu.

After drinking halfway, Liu Yu said, "Ma Qing has been in all directions for a long time and will know the heroes of the world. Please tell me."

Ma Yuan said: "Gongsun Shu, the emperor of the family, lives in a rich land in Bashu, and has sufficient soldiers and food. Can he be a hero?"

Liu Yu said: "Gongsun Shu lives in a corner and is arrogant. He is just a frog in the well!"

Ma Yuan nodded. The emperor's opinion was the same as him. Gongsun Shu was just thrown out to test Liu Yu. Unexpectedly, although the little emperor Jianshi had never seen Gongsun Shu, he had such a precise judgment on him.

The little emperor poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said slowly: "Gongsun Shu is just a dry bone in the tomb, I will capture it sooner or later!"

Although his voice was not loud, he was low and powerful, showing great confidence, making people unquestionably unable to do it.

Ma Yuan said: "The Wei family in Longxi is respected and respected by the wise and the heroes, and they are punished and promoted by the government and the army is prosperous. Can they be a hero?"

Liu Yu said: "Wei Xiang was suspicious, with the elegance of a scholar but the cleverness of being aware of words. When he entered the pass, the king and his ministers were greedy and violent. Even though he lived in the temple, he did not change the habits of thieves. Every man knew about the situation of defeat. However, Wei Xiang did not listen to Fang Wang's words, and surrendered the county, and surrendered to his subordinates, trapped his fathers in death, and only saved him from his own life. He did not distinguish good words and did not know the current affairs, how could he be called a hero?"

Ma Yuan nodded secretly. When Wei Xiang raised his army, his power was much stronger than that now. He not only occupied Tianshui County, but also sent troops to capture the five Hexi counties, as well as Anding, Longxi, Wudu and other counties.

At that time, his power was enough to compete for the world, but he did not listen to the advice of military advisor Fang Wang. With an edict from Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan, he gave up his huge foundation and bowed down to his subordinates. Later, he even reported that his uncle had rebelled, causing them to be killed by Emperor Gengshi, and he ended up running away from Chang'an in a panic.

Now the five counties in Hexi are under the control of Dou Rong. Wei Xiang only occupies the two counties, and there are two nails, Liu Mao and Sun Yi, in the heart of the heart. The situation is much worse than before. Wei Xiang is already a hero at this time.

Ma Yuan said again: "Can Liu Yong, Zhang Bu, Qin Feng, Yan Cen and others be called heroes?"

Liu Yu smiled, "What's the point of such a mediocre person?"

Ma Yuan said: "The Bronze Horse Emperor Liu Xiu, who came from Pishu, made his fortune in Kunyang, slaughtered millions with thousands, rode alone into Hebei, took Zhao and Wei, and whipped the thieves, can he be a hero?"

Liu Yu drank the wine in the glass and said, "If there is no me, Liu Xiu can be the greatest hero in the world!"

The implication is that with him, Liu Yu, Liu Xiu had to be second.

Liu Yu said: "Liu Xiu has the talent of an emperor, but no ambition of an emperor. He is cautious in his work and gentle in nature. If he does not have his brother Liu Yan, he will never raise troops. I am afraid that he will still farm in Nanyang at this time. He is very timid when he is thoughtful, but he dares to act in desperate situations and seems extremely bold, because he can see the situation clearly and knows that there is no other way except to fight to the death. Although Liu Xiu has the talent to lead the army, Wang Yi has 400,000 troops under his command in the battle of Kunyang. If he doesn't do it, he will not be able to do it.

In chaos, how could thousands of people shake it? This is the destruction of Wang Mang in heaven, and Liu Xiu was at the meeting. When Emperor Gengshi killed Liu Yan, he regarded Liu Xiu as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh. At this time, the world was so big that there was no place to live. Liu Xiu was forced to fight and had to fight, so he had a place in Yanzhao, Hebei. I also know that Liu Xiu was a hero. In just three years, he had been a rural farmer and now he had to seize the world and dominate the world. However, his good luck has come to an end now."

"Why?"

"Because of me!" Liu Yu raised his head and said, "Liu Xiu took Dinghenoi and the remaining power of Hedong, and ordered Deng Yu to cross the river. The purpose was to Chang'an, and Wu Han led an army of 200,000 to besiege Luoyang. He wanted to seize the two capitals of the east and west in one fell swoop and dominate the world. However, since I ascended the throne in June last year, entered Chang'an in September, and expel Deng Yu in October, defeated Wu Han and obtained Luoyang, Liu Xiu's plan was not successful. Now both capitals are in my hands. I was born as a bull official, alone, without roots and no basis. With one's own strength, in less than a year, I have obtained the Red Eyebrow army, several counties, and the foundation of the Chang'an emperor. Ma Qing, do you know why this is?"

Ma Yuan said respectfully: "I don't know, I hope Your Majesty will teach me."

Liu Yu said: "Because I have the blessing of heaven, I will have the world. My ancestors have dreamed and taught me the strategies. From then on, the world will be in my heart and the major events will be in my control."

Ma Yuan was speechless and thought to himself that it was this thing again, and he was bragging about the blessing of heaven. But if you think about it carefully, the rise of this little emperor was really like a helper of gods. He, a cowherd, suddenly emerged. In less than a year, he incorporated hundreds of thousands of Red Eyebrow Army, pacified the three servants, and made Liu Xiu suffer in Hedong and Luoyang. How could he explain such a great cause?

After thinking about it, Liu Yu said everything he said was true, and there was no word he was bragging.

Ma Yuan said sincerely: "Your Majesty is a true hero!"

The two of them exchanged cups, and the wine became stronger and stronger, and they talked more and more. Ma Yuan discovered that the young emperor Liu Yu was only young, and his thoughts were completely adults. His thinking was meticulous and rigorous, but he did not fall into the nest. He had amazing words from time to time.

Ma Yuan asked, "In your opinion, what is Liu Xiu's power?"

"Chang'an and Luoyang are one of them, and they can compete for the world. Now Liu Xiu's advance westward is blocked, and he can only go east and southward. There are Liu Yong, Dong Xian, Zhang Bu, Qin Feng, Tian Rong and others in the south. It is not easy for Liu Xiu to protect himself, so how can he talk about competing for the world?"

"With Liu Xiu's talent, he should be able to pacify Guandong."

"What you said is right," Liu Yu picked up a mulberry and put it in his mouth, saying, "If there is no me, he would be able to pacify Guandong. But now with me, his situation will be more and more difficult. Although I have not attacked the Eastern Front, I already have Shangdang and Taiyuan, which is close to Handan. As long as I cross the Taihang Mountains, I can reach the city and attack Liu Xiu's nest. This is the path of Han Xin's advancement back then. Deng Yu is now a dog of a family, and will sooner or later be driven out of Hedong by the General of the Northern Expedition. At that time, Hedong and Hexi were connected together and Guanzhong was stable. I have heavy troops in Luoyang on the Eastern Front, and can advance eastward at any time, joining Liu Yong and attacking Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu had to use heavy troops to deploy defenses, so how could he have the energy to go east to fight?"

"Zhu Yu has an army of 200,000, and may not be used by His Majesty."

"Zhu Yu has not yet returned to his heart, but he has sent his son to Chang'an. His eldest son Zhu Zili is a captain in the Yulin Army. I don't have to force him deliberately. Chang'an's power is stronger, and Zhu Yu's desire to submit is stronger. As long as my strength is enough and he can protect his wealth for generations, Zhu Yu will naturally devote himself to serving him. At that time, I will be able to use troops to Guandong."

Ma Yuan said: "If the general comes to his Majesty with a land of several counties and a hundred thousand people, how can his Majesty treat him?"

It's here, finally, Ma Yuan finally asked for conditions for Wei Xiang.

Liu Yu said seriously: "High officials and generous salaries are granted by thousands of households. They are hereditary and will be retired with the country."

"Can Your Majesty ask the General to seize the right side of Longshan and to protect the country's vassal?"

"No!" Liu Yu flatly refused, "If Wei Xiang wants to return to Han, he must enter the court. If he does not enter the court, let him meet me on the battlefield!"

"Why didn't Your Majesty ask Zhu Yu to enter the court? When Zhu Yu was desperate, he had to live in Luoyang with his help. The general occupied Longyou, with tens of thousands of armor, and obtained the benefits of the land. He can be said to be a prince of the same place. Why do he treat it differently?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Zhu Yu is only a dog guarding the house. She lives in Luoyang. She cannot attack Liu Xiu in the east and enter Hangu in the west. What are you afraid of? But Wei Xiang is a hero who is a great man in the world who can win the hearts of scholars. She cannot let him live outside for a long time."

"Is Your Majesty afraid of the general? If the general enters the court, will he be worried about his life?" Ma Yuan really dares to tell the truth.

"If Wei Xiang is tied to the court, he is a great hero. I am afraid that he will not be rewarded. Why do you think about your life and life?" Liu Yu leaned forward and said, "Ma Qing, if I kill Wei, who else will be willing to obey me?"

Ma Yuan nodded, Liu Yu was right. If Wei Xiang left his nest and arrived in Chang'an, he would be a tiger with his teeth drawn. It was not afraid. The emperor had no reason to kill him, but would only treat him well and show him to the princes outside who had not yet surrendered.

But when he was about to come, Wei Xiang mentioned the conditions for surrender, that is, he was nominally ordered by the court, but did not enter the court, and the court would acquiesce him to continue to seize the separatist side. At the cost, he could accept a son as a hostage.

Ma Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the General has lived in the country for a long time and cannot bear to leave. Please give your Majesty a kindness and allow the General to serve His Majesty as his son and serve His Majesty on his behalf."

Liu Yu smiled, pulled the skin on his face and pulled it. He raised his neck, drank the wine in the glass, put the wine glass heavily on the table, and shouted: "Where can you let others sleep peacefully next to the bed!"

Ma Yuan was silent.

Then the emperor was full of energy and became more and more excited as he drank, but Ma Yuan drank silently until he drank a jar of wine.

Liu Yu looked at Ma Yuan in surprise and drank a jar of 60-degree white wine with a foot of three pounds. His face did not change his color, and he could stand up straight without shaking his body.

Ma Yuan said: "Your Majesty, you have lost. I hope you keep your promise and follow my things and go as you want. I will leave the customs in a few days and go to Guandong..."
