Chapter 728: Intelligence from the Quartet

"Lord, this is Liangzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Sili, Hanzhong........" Xun You stepped forward, while Mu Yuanfeng, Tang Xiaomi, Shanqu, Xiao Tian, Qin Shou and others all stood behind them, telling the sources of information in their hands one by one.

Ma Chao looked at it in one day, and so much information came. couldn't help but feel that his head was a little big, but after rubbing his temples slightly, Ma Chao still cheered up, and from left to right, he began to read the matter of inquiring about information.

"On the Jingzhou side, there is nothing serious. Liu Biao was a man who guarded the city, and Ma Chao plotted to seize Nanyang County, forcing Liu Biao, a rabbit, to bite people. But now that Jingzhou's heart is more and more towards the Ma family, Liu Biao, in order to stabilize the situation, built monuments in various counties to win people's hearts. As for the great changes in Yanzhou, he did not take any action. Xun You took the information from Qin Shou's hand and briefly reported to Ma Chao.

"Is the ugly brother already on the road?" Ma Chao rolled his eyes casually, and after learning that Liu Biao in Jingzhou was not a threat to the Ma family, he asked about the trivial matter that Ma Chao threatened Liu Biao.

"Back to the lord, you're already on the road." Qin Shou stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "This time, the ugly brother acted alone, wanting to get close to Huang Zhong in disguise, and after the relationship was familiar, he would launch the Jingzhou Shadow to create some incidents, and smoothly connect Huang Zhong and Wen Ping to Chang'an." ”

"Well, ugly brother, I'm relieved." Ma Chao nodded, and suddenly thought that after Brother Ugly already had a son, he said again: "Presumably, this time, Brother Ugly will turn into a refugee looking for relatives in Jingzhou, and take Miss Ruxue and his big fat son to approach Huang Zhong both fake and true." And Huang Zhonggang, who is upright and righteous, naturally will not be suspicious........."

Qin Shou was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Ma Chao was thousands of miles away, and he would guess the ugly brother's plan at once. But then I thought that Ma Chao often had an unexpected ability to recognize people, so I was not surprised.

"........ here in Hanzhong" Xun You took the information from Xiao Tian's hand again, and when he handed it to Ma Chao, he also explained: "Zhang Ji, the county guard of Fufeng County, has already led 5,000 county soldiers to aid Tianshui County and contain Zhang Lu's general Zhang Weibingfeng. And Zhang Lu was just fishing in troubled waters, and the offensive was not very urgent, so Tianshui County was worry-free for the time being. And this time, Qin Langzhong and Meng Langzhong were envoys to Hanzhong; Cai Shilang and Wei Langzhong were secret envoys and sent envoys to Yizhou. Presumably at this time, Qin Langzhong and Meng Langzhong had already settled in Hanzhou Yishe........"

"Well, Qin Yu is in harmony with everything, and Meng He is the most suitable envoy to Hanzhong. And bring two pieces of glass and secretly give them to Yang Song, the money-greedy guy........ Presumably, with the means of these two people, Zhang Lu can be allowed to drink a pot. Thinking of Qin Yu's great contribution to Jingzhou, Ma Chao felt that after Qin Yu made another meritorious service in Hanzhong this time, it was time for him to promote Qin Yu to an official position.

"Yes, and Liu Zhang's Han clan relatives are even more admired and eager for the famous people of the Central Plains. Cai Shilang is famous all over the world, and Wei is a calligraphy master, presumably between talking about poetry and fu, Liu Zhang informed Liu Zhang of Zhang Lu's matter. And then, there is no need for the Ma family to make the slightest move. Yang Fu added that he was obviously satisfied with the selection of the envoy.

"Very good, Jingzhou and Hanzhong can look forward to good news." Ma Chao easily put the two reports to the left, and nodded with his injured left arm with satisfaction, before asking Xun You: "Si Li's side, the Huns are still not moving?" ”

"That's true." Xun You took the information in the hands of the single, and couldn't help but look a little strange. This time, he didn't say much, but simply said: "In Chang'an City, there are more than 20,000 horsemen left in the iron horse, led by the general Huangfu Song, with the help of geographical advantages, although they cannot take the initiative to send troops to fight against the Huns, but they are safe to protect themselves." Among Luoyang, there are also more than 20,000 Ma Jiajun, temporarily under the command of Zhu Jun, who was urgently transferred to Luoyang, although the equipment training has not yet kept up, but it is enough to go into battle to kill the enemy. As a result, there is no movement in the Sili area for the time being........"

In fact, Xun You was very strange that the Xiongnu would be instigated by Cao Cao to send troops along the way. After all, the nightmare of the Qiang people's large-scale attack has not yet disappeared in the Xiongnu tribe. However, thinking that the Xiongnu might just covet Cao Cao's bribes and the status of the Han family, I felt that they might also be pretending. However, after all, the Xiongnu is a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Ma family, Xun You has already thought in his heart that after Ma Chao pacifies Liangzhou this time, he must advise Ma Chao to pacify the Xiongnu rebellion and then plot against Kanto.

It's just that Xun You didn't know that when Ma Yu went to Liangzhou eight days ago, Huayu and other big girls had already got into the carriage and started a bumpy journey, embarking on a journey of troubled times that they had never experienced.

And at this time, they came to a large tribe. Through the gap in the carriage, which was not very tightly sealed, Huayu looked out through a small hole in a wooden plank. She saw the majestic tents, and the steppe people in strange costumes. I saw herds of livestock, cattle and sheep, mighty soldiers, and satisfied smiles on the faces of pedestrians on the grassland.

Wang Huayu, who was clear-minded, immediately thought of the place he might come to. And the moment she got out of the car, she saw the young man dressed as a Hun nobleman, and a touch of surprise when he looked at herself: This young man is the person who the general charmed her?

"I am Liu Bao, the son of King Zuoxian of the Huns, and I have come to meet you. After a short rest, my father will personally tell you that the mission on the grassland ......... "Liu Bao's Chinese was originally very good, but when he saw Huayu, he felt that his Chinese was still a little stumbling.........

And Ma Chao estimated the distance, thinking that Huayu might have arrived at Yu Fuluo. A sad and strange look flashed on his face, and then, he lightly hid the unbearability in his heart, and said to Xun You: "On the Huns' side, don't worry too much. Although autumn is the best season for the Han to send troops, for the Xiongnu, they should stock up on winter things as soon as possible. Therefore, Chen Bing'an seems to be eyeing the tiger, but they also know that once they really do it, the Qiang people will not give up the disaster of robbing them for the winter. ”

"The lord didn't ask the Qiang people to send troops at the beginning, did he think of this method of static braking, so that the Huns did not dare to move?" Yang Xiu heard Ma Chao mention the Qiang people, and couldn't help but think of Ma Chao's strategy of refusing to ask the Qiang people to send troops at the beginning. Now that I think about it, this point really has the meaning of 'rule by inaction'.

"No, I just want to use good steel on the blade." Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "The situation in Liangzhou, you don't know as much as me. Although I ordered all the Qiang people to migrate to the northern plains of Beidi and Xinping counties, Liangzhou has been mixed for more than 200 years, and it has long been difficult to distinguish between the Han and Qiang. In the battle of Liangzhou, attacking the heart is the first priority. As long as the Ma family pacifies the leaders of the thieves in Jincheng and Wuwei counties, and the remaining three counties of Xiping, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, it is better to hand it over to the Qiang people to intimidate. ”

"Going on an expedition with a teacher, it is not a wise move for the tired Ma family at this time. And with the help of the Qiang people, the Ma family can wait for the good news to spread without spending a single soldier. After those counties surrender one by one, the Ma family only needs to send a few capable ministers to take office, and they can do their best in Liangzhou. Li Ru's poisonous man had a far-reaching vision, and he said Ma Chao's thoughts in one sentence: "Such a soldier who surrenders without a fight is the road of soldiers!" The lord is far-sighted and admired. ”

"Well, the high hat you wear from a poisoner will only make people feel very uncomfortable." Ma Chao smiled crookedly, thinking that this might be Li Ru alluding to himself being more vicious than him, and couldn't help but be a little depressed. Then, after straightening up his figure, he continued: "After hearing the good news, if I expected it to be true, the next two reports from Yanxu and Liangzhou should be bad news, right?" ”

When Tang Xiaomi and Mu Yuanfeng heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other. Thinking that the news in his hand was indeed not so gratifying, he couldn't help but envy Xiao Tian, Shanqu, and Qin Shou for the place they were exploring. And Xun You first took Tang Xiaomi's information, glanced at Ma Chao with admiring eyes, and said: "Lu Bu and Cao Cao have already begun to fight. Moreover, the battle was stalemate, and Cao Cao was not successfully defeated........"

Ma Chao sighed in his heart: Nonsense? If Cao Cao was so easily defeated, he would be able to dominate the Three Kingdoms in less than three years........
