As for why Ma Chao should pay attention to these two places, of course, he has his own reasons. Si Li actually doesn't need to say too much, because that is Ma Chao's next goal after Yizhou, and at this time there is already a big drought, this year's Guanzhong Han, so Si Li is of course the first to bear the brunt, and Ma Chao's Liangzhou and Yizhou are indeed much better in comparison.

After all, Liangzhou is not a grain-producing state, not to mention that Ma Chao's family background is even more rich now, because now even the Mi family has moved to Liangzhou, so Ma Chao is indeed "with food in his hands, and he is not panicked". Not only was he not greatly affected, but he also received a lot of victims from Si Li, and Ma Chao made a profit.

But despite this, Ma Chao actually knows the way, but now is not the time to do it to Li Dao and Guo Yan, because the timing is not right. And his Liangzhou army really should take a good rest, before in the third year of Chuping, he went to conquer Hanzhong, but in the fourth year of Chuping, he fought in Yizhou for nearly two months, so this year, he also had to let his Liangzhou soldiers rest for a whole year. Therefore, if it is not particularly necessary, Ma Chao will never move troops easily.

Besides, the time is really not right now, so it will definitely not be good for you to rush into the army. Maybe the victory can still be won, but it will definitely cause countless casualties on your side, and the gains may outweigh the losses at the worst. So in exchange for victory at such a price, Ma Chao absolutely does not want it. In this regard, Ma Chao's heart is very clear, he naturally has his own little abacus in his heart-

That's all there is to Si Li for the time being, and Ma Chao's plan is like this. And pay attention to Huainan, of course, because Sun Ce and his people are there. Sun Ce is now under the fence, working under Yuan Shu's account. Although he actually knew about the festivals of his father and Yuan Lu. But Sun Ce now has no choice but to do it.

Because he doesn't have any official position, he is not a prince of any party, so he can only be temporarily sent to the fence. But Sun Ce, who is already twenty years old, is really ambitious, just like his father Sun Jian, but unfortunately Sun Jian died young.

But although Sun Ce has good skills, he is not doing well in front of Yuan Shu, because he is Sun Jian's son. If there was no reason for this, maybe Yuan Shu would have valued him very much. But nowadays. But it's just using him, and it's not important at all. Of course, these Sun Ce knew the Dao, but he didn't have much to do, he himself was now twenty years old, so he was always looking for a way to stand on his own feet without Yuan Shu. But I never had a good chance.

Opportunity is actually military power to put it bluntly, and he, Sun Ce, has no military power at all. Can Yuan Shu give him military power? Apparently impossible. So there are not even a few people, only Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao, so since this is the case, what else can he do. So we can only wait for the good time, and then soar into the sky.

So don't look at Sun Ce's current age, he is indeed not too old, but he still knows how to forbear. Zhilu Dao forbearance, so it's really a material that can make great things-

Ma Chao felt that he should help Sun Ce and let the general trend of the world go on according to his own ideas as much as possible. After all, Yuan Shu was about to go crazy when he wanted to get the jade seal of the country in his life, and even dreamed that he was holding the jade seal and then became the emperor. And the heirloom jade seal is such an object that can help Sun Ce. So Ma Chao is ready to do this.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's for Ma Chao or for Sun Ce, the jade seal of the country is actually a stone, it sounds good, it's a piece of jade, and the family's bi, but there is really nothing else. Ma Chao naturally knew that if the jade seal of the country was in Sun Ce's hands, then the most powerful thing would become the man and horse he dreamed of, and Yuan Shu would naturally agree happily.

After telling everyone that he was going out, Ma Chao left Liangzhou with the only son of the jade seal of the country and embarked on the road to Yangzhou. And although everyone didn't know what their lord was doing, they still took a huge burden. But no one dares to stop his lord from doing some private things.

As for Liangzhou, Ma Chao handed over to Guo Jia to take care of all affairs, and he had the final say. And with him, everything is fine. The people near Liangzhou are just Qiang and Li Dao Guo Yan, and it is even farther away Xianbei, but Ma Chao is not worried about them.

There are eighteen sons on the Qiang side guarding the golden city, generally speaking, unless the Qiang people don't want to get better, or they will come. Anyway, now that Guo Jia is presiding over the overall situation in Liangzhou, what can the Qiang people do, Ma Chao doesn't think they can become a big climate.

As for Li Dao and Guo Yan, it's really not that Ma Chao underestimates them, if they really have such great ability, they should have sent troops to Liangzhou when they entered Yizhou, but unfortunately, the good time is long gone. Ma Chao didn't understand them, in fact, the two of them were just a little careful, guarding Si Li's "one acre and three points of land" to be their soil emperor, that is, to be a day is a day-

And on this day, Ma Chao finally came to Shouchun City, Jiujiang County, Yangzhou. And Ma Chao can really be said to be very careful and careful along the way, he is afraid of being recognized, so he deliberately covers his appearance, and he doesn't even dare to ride the white lion, and his whole body is even more ordinary, just to avoid trouble. Now, as long as people who are not particularly familiar with him see him like this, they will definitely not recognize him as Liangzhou Muma Chaoma Mengqi.

However, although Ma Chao also felt that he might be too cautious, he always remembered a sentence, that is, "there is no big mistake in being careful". Especially if you have left the range of your own power, you will definitely not be able to be careless on other people's territory.

After arriving at the place and entering the city, Ma Chaoxin said, how can I find Sun Ceqi. Shouchun is not the seat of Yangzhou, and the seat of Yangzhou is in Liyang, Jiujiang, but now Shouchun is the base camp of Yuan Shu, so Sun Ce must be found in Shouchun. But it's not enough to find him, you have to meet him and the two of you. After all, Cheng Pu and the others all know themselves, but Ma Chao doesn't want to expose himself at all, all of this must be done in secret, so that Sun Ce doesn't know what he does.

At this time, Ma Chao had already come to Shouchun's school military field, but as soon as he approached here, the guards hurriedly pushed their weapons in front of Ma Chao, "Who is it?" Sneaky, come and stop, otherwise you will be killed! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Hehe, two soldiers, hehe, this ......"

"Less set almost, go, if you don't go, you won't be able to walk again!"

A guard shouted, Ma Chao hurriedly stepped forward, took out dozens of five-baht coins from his arms, and gave them to the guard.

Then he said to him: "This is to honor the two soldiers, I just want to inquire about something, there is no other meaning, I don't know ......"

Sure enough, the five-baht coin played its role, after all, the five-baht coin is still relatively strong. Unlike the messy money that was privately minted in other places, how much copper did that money have, and some of it didn't have at all. So the five-baht money guard really liked it, and the guard quickly took the money, hurriedly put it away, and then said to Ma Chao: "Well, you ask, but you have to leave soon!" ”

Ma Chao hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic, so he asked, "I don't know if the soldier knows General Sun Ce?" ”

When the guard heard this, he said that he was here to find Sun Ce's house? Could it be an acquaintance of his? But it didn't look like it, so he asked, "Who are you?" What are you looking for Sun Bofu to do? Let me tell you, you can listen well, he is not a general, we have General Ji and General Zhang here, but there is no General Sun! ”

Ma Chao smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Yes, yes, this is wrong!" It's Sun Bofu, dare to ask the soldier, I don't know where I can see him? ”

As a result, another guard came over and said, "Do you recognize that Sun Bofu?" ”

Ma Chao shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard that his martial arts seem to be good, so I admire him, don't you just want to see what he looks like!" ”

Hearing Ma Chao say this, the guard smiled, and then said, "Okay, don't say it, that Sun Bofu's martial arts are indeed very good." It's just that you want to meet him, and this is actually not particularly difficult. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he said in his heart that there was a door, so he came to the right place. It's really "the blessed don't have to be busy, and the unblessed run out of their intestines". What is the meaning of "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to find, and it takes no effort to get them", isn't that what it is?

At this time, he hurriedly said: "Master Bing, please speak, I am listening to you!" ”

Then the guard said, "If you really want to see that Sun Bo Fu and his people, you will die here!" However, five miles outside Shouchun City, there is a forest, and I won't tell you that sometimes Sun Bofu will go there to hunt, so you might as well go there and have a look! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he said in his heart, if this is the case, then he will wait there and it will be over. Waiting for the rabbit, he didn't believe that he couldn't see him Sun Ce.

"Hehe, thank you soldiers, thank you two soldiers!"

"Okay, okay, let's go, don't stay here, or you look good!"

"Yes, yes, leave now, just leave!"

After speaking, Ma Chao left. And when the two guards saw that the previous person was still riding horses, they thought that they had collected a little less money. But now it's useless to regret it, because people left after getting the news. (To be continued......)
