    Zhong Yao stated the pros and cons. Ma Teng was hesitant, but he immediately agreed.

    However, after agreeing, Ma Teng's mind was still clear. He called his eldest son Ma Chao and warned:

    "If you go to Chang'an, you will definitely be in a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. You can make your own decisions about everything in Xiliang."

    "Father! Although Xiliang is remote, the people are strong and strong, so they may not be able to achieve hegemony. Why bother to waste yourself and become an official in the court?" Ma Chao said sincerely.

    "If you don't obey the imperial decree, isn't it true?" Ma Teng said.

    "But Chang'an is dangerous, Cao Mengde will definitely not let you go." Ma Chao said.

    "What should I be afraid of when the tiger is here?" Ma Teng said, "Besides, it is difficult to tell whether the Emperor Xian's secret letter is true or false. Only by going deep into the tiger's den and contacting the court ministers can we overthrow Cao Cao."

    Ma Chao had nothing to say.

    Ma Teng¡¯s ideals are good, but the reality is very cruel, because the ministers of the imperial court are just a group of bluffing old people, and they have no way to provide any help.

    So, Ma Teng went to Beijing in response to the imperial edict.

    The spies in Yangzhou quickly got the news and reported the matter layer by layer.

    Xun You hurriedly visited Liu Ke and reported on the matter.

    Liu Ke has no intention of expansion now, but it is impossible to allow the princes to expand their power.

    Among them, the best proof is that Sun Ce is restrained from attacking Yuzhou.

    What he didn¡¯t expect was that Zhou Yu had a sudden idea and accepted Liu Bei, slightly expanding his power.

    Cao Cao's goal is in Xiliang, Liu Ke asked Xun You to pay close attention to it, and he would not let it go if he could add to the obstruction.

    Now Ma Teng actually made a stupid move and became an official in the court.

    Doesn¡¯t he know that once he enters Chang¡¯an, Cao Cao will restrict his personal freedom?

    ¡°Moreover, if I kill you for any reason, no one will cry out for you.

    Is it interesting to be in front of such an official?

    Liu Ke didn¡¯t understand it anyway. Even if he became a Situ, he had no intention of leaving Yangzhou.

    "Ma Teng's move will bring about his own destruction." Liu Kedao.

    Xun You thought so, but Ma Teng's wrong move left Yangzhou wondering where to start.

    "Things have just developed. It's not good for us to intervene. We should pay close attention to the movements in Chang'an and wait for Cao Cao's next move. If Cao Cao kills Ma Teng, we will support Ma Teng's son in raising an army." Liu Kedao.

    "I understand," Xun You said, cupping his hands.

    However, what is surprising is that after Ma Teng entered Chang'an, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to take action, but entertained him with good wine and meat.

    Some of the rewards promised before have been realized, and people can¡¯t fault it.

    Ma Teng had no plans to leave Chang'an. He was happy and reluctant to leave. Two months passed like this.

    Liu Ke¡¯s plan to support Ma Chao in raising troops failed, and it is unlikely that he will do so in a short time.

    However, there was something that made people cry and laugh at Yangzhou. After Liu Ke broke the crowd, it had been some time.

    After Himihu returned to Yamatai Kingdom, he somehow made up a story and became the ruler of the country and sent out envoys.

    Now, this mission is in Xuzhou.

    "The purpose of the Japanese mission is unknown, so we should drive them away." Guo Jia suggested.

    Liu Ke also did not want to have too much contact with the Japanese, so he resolutely refused to allow the Japanese mission to enter Yangzhou.

    When Cai Yong learned about this, he went to Liu Ke angrily and said, "My dear son-in-law, you must not receive the Japanese mission. It is against etiquette."

    It is the emperor¡¯s duty to receive foreign missions. If Liu Ke receives them privately, there will definitely be rumors.

    Although with Liu Ke¡¯s strength, he is not afraid of criticism from the princes of the world, there is no benefit in receiving the Japanese envoys, right?

    The order had been issued, and it was naturally carried out, and the Japanese were stopped outside Yangzhou.

    Liu Ke had already stated that he would not receive them, but the Japanese envoy Fujiwara refused to leave and stayed in Xuzhou.

    "It's not okay to continue like this. Xuzhou is also Liu Ke's territory. What's the difference between receiving a Japanese envoy?"

    "Let us go and drive these crooked Japanese out of Xuzhou." Dian Wei said angrily.

    "No, the Han Dynasty is weak, but it is still a great country." Cai Yong said.

    In the end, Lu Su gave the most pertinent advice, saying: "It is better to guide them to Chang'an and give Cao Mengde a headache."

    Liu Ke thinks this is a good idea.

    When the Japanese learned that Liu Ke was just His Majesty the Emperor,The feudal princes were greatly shocked.

    Because in their view, Xuzhou is already the most prosperous place in the world, and the Marquis of Dongyang, who defeated the Japanese army, is the one who can make them surrender.

    So, they rushed to Chang'an without stopping.

    When Cao Cao received the news, he was at a loss.  Since the decline of the Han Dynasty, foreign missions have not been seen for a long time.

    ????????????????? What on earth is this Japanese man who was taken care of by Dongyang Marquis doing?

    ¡°My lord, this is a great opportunity to increase our momentum!¡± Sima Lang said.

    Indeed, if it is run well, Cao Cao, as the prime minister, will have a lot of merit.

    Therefore, unlike Liu Ke, Cao Cao received the Japanese mission with high standards.

    "Fujiwara, is Yamatai Kingdom willing to worship China as its suzerain state?" Cao Cao said with a slight smile.

    Fujihara came here just to take advantage of the situation, so he agreed immediately.

    Cao Cao was very happy and recognized Himihu's dominance.  Anyway, just open your mouth and stamp it.  Cao Cao was in a good mood and rewarded the Japanese with many gifts. The Japanese also appreciated that Cao Cao was a generous prime minister.

    The two forces engaged in commercial exchanges.

    Cao Cao told the world about this, after all, these are achievements.

    During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, envoys from various countries in the Western Regions came one after another, and Cao Cao took the first step.

    Coupled with the fact that Ma Teng entered Beijing before, Cao Cao's limelight suddenly overshadowed Liu Ke's.

    "When the Marquis of Dongyang finds out about this, he will definitely be pissed to death." Sima Lang said.

    Cao Cao's face was filled with glory, and the fatigue of dealing with government affairs was gone. His tone was very calm, and he said: "No matter how powerful the Marquis of Dongyang is, he is just a local prince. How dare he receive foreign envoys in violation of regulations?"

    Fujiwara on the side said something at an inappropriate time: "I heard that Chang'an is the center of the world, why is it so poor?"

    It¡¯s not that Japan is rich, but after passing through Xuzhou, Fujiwara¡¯s horizons have broadened.  So he compared Xuzhou with Chang'an, not Japan.

    Cao Cao's face suddenly turned ugly and he said, "How do you say this?"

    Is Chang¡¯an poor?  How can this be?  I, Cao Mengde, have worked hard to govern, and Chang'an has become the center of the world's economy except, of course, Dongyang Hou's territory.

    "Xuzhou is prosperous, the people are brightly dressed, and the vendors are shouting" Fujiwara listed them one by one.

    The Japanese may not have very good eyesight, but they still have no problem seeing through the rich and the poor.

    Cao Cao suddenly sighed, Xuzhou was in the hands of Dongyang Marquis for less than a year, right?

    "Catching up with Chang'an in one year, doesn't Mr. Cao lose face?"

    ¡° Moreover, Yangzhou is more prosperous than Xuzhou!

    What does it mean to have a long way to go? This is what lies ahead of Cao Cao.

    "Perhaps, his subordinates also knew about this situation, but they did not dare to tell the truth. It happened that the Japanese did not know how to praise and told the truth.

    Cao Cao suddenly woke up. While he was working hard to govern, he had forgotten something, such as paying attention to the development of Yangzhou and maintaining the feelings between allies.

    If you don¡¯t have any allies, what will you do to resist the Marquis of Dongyang in the future?

    "Chang'an is the capital of the Han Dynasty, how can it be so superficial?" Sima Lang said.

    Fujiwara was suddenly frightened. He had gained a lot of knowledge about the Han Dynasty recently, but relatively speaking, he was still just a younger brother.

    But he was not a fool, and he finally saw that he was unhappy.  He has a trick to save the situation, which is to quickly bow and say "yes" and agree with others' point of view.

    Sima Lang¡¯s expression became strange. Why should he argue with a Japanese?

    Simply say nothing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
