"It seems that Xuchang is progressing a little fast......." Ma Chao looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help pinching the bridge of his nose: "The most unprovoked thing in the world is the old fox, who hides in the secret and provokes at will, and holds everything in his hands." I really don't know, if Liu Xie knew this, would he be angry? ”

"The concubine doesn't know that Liu Association won't be angry, but Yuan Shao is probably already angry." Diao Chan picked up a piece of information, walked to Ma Chao's side and said, "After the envoy was sent, Yuan Shao's camp really quarreled again, which made Yuan Shao irritable. According to Duanmu Ruoyu's report, Yuan Shao personally smashed an inkstone before he calmed down the noise below. ”

"Oh, there really is a guy who doesn't open his eyes and proposes to come to fight the horse family?" After receiving the piece of information, Ma Chao read it leisurely: "Yan Liang, Chun Yuqiong, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and Judge....... sure enough, Yuan Shao's subordinate camps are numerous, and when something happens, they will first be divided into two big camps, and then there will be several different propositions in the camp. If it were me, I would be very angry. ”

"None of them are serious!" Ma Chao thought about Yuan Shao's angry appearance at that time, and slapped the information on the table, which provoked Diao Chan and Liu Yue in the room.

"Since Yuan Shao is so hesitant there, how will the husband deal with it?" Liu Yue also read all the information at this time, and had to admit: "In Xuchang, Liu Xie's movements are indeed faster, and we can't keep up with the rhythm." ”

"It's okay, if you can't keep up, let them wait. Liu Xie is not a fool, since he wants to be self-reliant, he will endure it until the beginning of spring next year, which I am very sure of, and I also admire him very much. said so, but Ma Chao still spread all the information in front of him, and summarized one by one: "But at the moment, the situation is really a little chaotic, and it really needs to be sorted out." ”

"Yuan Shao's side, don't worry too much, after the Tuoba Department completely pulls Budugen out of the Black Mountain Army, it will be almost the time when Yuan Shao completely annexes Gongsun Zhan. After all, that guy has been the king for so long, and it's time for him to turn his feet to the sky. ”

"On the Xuzhou side, it was temporarily pacified, and a nail was also buried. Presumably, the news over there will come one after another soon...... "At this point, Ma Chao didn't dare to say too much - Diao Chan definitely knew what method Ma Chao used to get rid of the mischief, and at this time, looking at her dangerous look that seemed to be smiling, Ma Chao already felt a chill in his back.

"Zhang Lu's side....... Fazheng has already collected some rogue bandits, and he only needs to send one or two cadres to destroy the exchanges of the two families. Then the Ma family can then build momentum and cut off trade with Zhang Lu. Who made this guy so unlucky, after Pang Tong left, he was beaten to the ground by Yan Yan, a veteran of Shuzhong, within three days, and evacuated from Shuzhong in embarrassment? ”

Speaking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but think of something again, turned his head and asked, "By the way, Pang Tong's whereabouts haven't been investigated yet?" ”

"No," Diao Chan shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "Now the center of gravity of the shadows is all in Kanto. And Pang Tong seemed to know that he was being targeted, and after these days, he disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared. ”

"Evaporation from the world?" Ma Chao frowned slightly, but for a fifteen-year-old child, he really didn't take it to heart: he just needed to know that Pang Tong would not make any trouble for the Ma family.

"Well, leave that ugly bird alone." Waving his hand and putting aside Pang Tong's matter for the time being, Ma Chao continued to analyze: "Meng Da already owes Hanzhong a lot of debts, which has aroused Zhang Lu's vigilance. Tomorrow, I will tell him that before the big plan is started, Zhang Lu will be hung for the time being. As for the cadres sent to make trouble, I think it's better to send Gan Ning and Zang Ba, both of whom are from thieves, and it is easy to get along with those people........"

"When the relationship between the Ma family and Zhang Lu breaks down, the supply of coal will be cut off. In addition, this year's winter is still very early, and the people under Zhang Lu will definitely complain and be indignant, and a large number of people in Hanzhong may migrate to Yongzhou Sili, which also requires Zhong Xuan, Zhang Ji and other county guards to be ready to receive it........"

In this way, it only takes one winter, and Zhang Lu's side will be completely clear. At the same time, after three months of severance, Zhang Lu's strength will also drop a lot. At the beginning of spring next year, it will be up to us to decide whether to fight or to make peace. ”

"As soon as the matter in Hanzhong is over, Yuan Shao's side will probably start to do it. When Xu is in chaos, the entire Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou will be in chaos. When the time comes, the Ma family sent troops to the Tiger Pass, connected and merged with the state, swept the two states of Yan and Hebei, and then swallowed and encroached, why worry about the great cause of the world? ! ”

After saying all this in one breath, Ma Chao finally smoothed out all the future plans of the Ma family, then took a sip of tea, and began to carefully recall the omissions and deficiencies in his plan.

In this day and age, information networks are not so robust, and many times the strategy is based on the incredible insight and analytical skills of leaders. Or in the eyes of later generations, such an analysis is no different from rhetoric on paper, but at this time, it is necessary.

Listening to Ma Chao's words, Diao Chan and Liu Yue were silent: both of them were strange women whose wisdom was not inferior to Ma Chao's strategists, although they vaguely guessed Ma Chao's general plan. But this time, listening to Ma Chao's detailed and measured explanation, I couldn't help but be a little shocked in my heart.

The elaboration of this plan, with urgency and slowness, and moderation, simply split the whole world into a game of chess, and the Ma family hidden behind it seems to have become a chess player behind the scenes - taking the world as a chess, what a courage and mind!

At this time, facing Ma Chao again, both of them felt that the gap between them and Ma Chao was getting bigger and bigger, and with the change of identity and too much contact with world affairs, the two already felt that their horizons had become much broader. But the more this is the case, the more they feel inadequate: Ma Chao once said that scholars have several realms, they don't know what they don't know, they don't know they don't know, they don't know they know, they know they know.

"About, I've just reached the point where I know I don't know, and I'm afraid my husband has reached the realm of knowing that he knows, right?" The two looked at each other, and understood what each other meant.

"Thanks to those foxes of the Ma family, otherwise I would have rashly invaded Kanto, and even if I tried all kinds of wisdom, it would not have been possible to overlook the world like this. Sure enough, sometimes taking a step back, the sea and the sky are indeed wide........"

"However, husband, the state affairs are established, and the family affairs ....... Feng Xiangong has passed away after all, and Sister Ling'er and the eldest princess Yang Zhai are now accompanying Tang Ji to stay in the cold imperial mausoleum. My aunt had persuaded them many times, but they would not go back to Ma's house........" After all, pregnancy is sentimental, and Diao Chan casually said this for some reason.

"I can't do anything about it." When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but lose interest in the intelligence file in front of him for a moment, and sighed leisurely: "Unless Feng Xiangong comes back from the dead, it is impossible for them to get out of the Lu family's heart......."

"Until this time, I didn't believe that the awe-inspiring peerless god of war died on the battlefield of Puyang........" Thinking of the original battle, Ma Chao seemed to have the moment when Lu Bu saved him in the air in front of him. At that time, he clearly saw the love in Lu Bu's eyes—it was an impossible look in the eyes of the ruthless god of war.

It's a pity that just when he was completely changed, Heaven also took his life........

Slowly walking outside the door, Ma Chao stretched out his hand to catch the new light snow that fell overnight, watching the fine snowflakes gradually disappear and melt in his warm hands, Ma Chao's heart couldn't say any pain: Lu Fengxian, did you really let go like that? Like this snowflake, it let go of everything and melted into the earth?

I always feel that such a person should not be like this snowflake, only existing in the cold and ruthless of winter.......
