Chapter Seventy-Four: A Father or a Son?
After the war, it was full of devastation.
In this battle, the Xiliang Ma family was the final winner, and under Ma Chao's exhaustive strategy and the final desperate fight of the Fufeng soldiers, Yang Fu was defeated and captured.
In this battle, the Xiliang Ma family completely lost nearly 3,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, including nearly 4,000 wounded riders, and what is more serious is that there are less than 1,000 people in it, and they can no longer participate in the battle in the future. Coupled with the more than 4,000 horses that Ma Chao lost on the grassland at the beginning, it can be said that the 30,000 Xiliang iron horses that Ma Teng used to start his business have lost more than one-third.
However, this victory was also brilliant, after the battle was completed and the battlefield was counted, a total of more than 20,000 thieves were captured, of which less than 8,000 were wounded. He seized 6,000 stone of grain, 3,000 stone of grain, more than 4,000 horses, and a small amount of gold, silver, and jewelry.
If this 10,000 elite troops can be successfully incorporated into the Xiliang Army, then Ma Chao calculated, this battle, in the short term, can be regarded as a small win, but things cannot be so optimistically estimated.
When the horse exceeded the grassland, it had already reached the limit of the Xiliang horse family. Although a large amount of supplies were replenished after entering Fufeng County, this battle took place in Fufeng County, and the cost of casualties, family pensions, dilapidated repairs, and settling the people's hearts once again put pressure on Fufeng County.
In the past, he was a wandering crime, robbing if there was no food, and then changing places and robbing after robbing, but now Ma Teng is already an official official of the imperial court and a general of Pingxi who controls Fufeng County. In other words, the current Xiliang Ma family has transformed from a guerrilla force into a regular army in the base area. The previous bandit method can no longer be used.
And this item is also Ma Chao's headache, he now has a small number of talents, but those political and strategic talents who govern the county and the people, and live and develop, there is no one: Meng He can be regarded as half, but this guy has a set of sloppy horses, left and right, and the governance of the county depends on Meng Da, an amateur; And Han Feng, this kid, can be cultivated, but at present, there are a lot of things to do in Fufeng County, and Han Feng can only learn and exercise from it, and he can't hold up any big banner for the time being.
And at this time, Hua Tuo's old man ran over and told Ma Chao that there were too many wounded, that he was short of manpower, and that he didn't have enough medicine, etc., Ma Chao was still seriously ill, and when he heard this, his head immediately swelled a little: "My father is the biggest official in Fufeng County, and he is also the commissioner of Fufeng County who was ordered by the imperial court to be in charge of Fufeng County, why did you come to ask me about these things?!" ”
Hua Tuo heard this, but he didn't say a word. It's just that in those old eyes, there is a clear meaning of 'I don't ask who you ask'.
Come to think of it, I am also a time-traveler, I have accepted the knowledge explosion of the new era, and I know a little bit about business, politics, and culture. But even so, he is just an amateur, he has been overwhelmed by these political affairs, and he has no clue, and Ma Teng is a bandit who can only engage in sabotage and never build, these things, if he doesn't push it to his eldest son, who else can he push it to?
Especially when Ma Chao was still seriously ill at this time, Ma Teng resolutely asked Hua Tuo to explore the way. It can be seen from this that Ma Teng is estimated to be driven crazy.
"In terms of manpower, it can be drawn from the medical centers in the county, and the cost of labor will be borne by Fufeng County; In addition, the divine doctor can urgently call his disciples and fellow practitioners to come to help the wind for diagnosis and treatment, and these people should not leave when they come. After staying, he became a teacher in the medical hall; As for the medicine, please be sure to list the list and quantity of the drugs needed, first purchase from the internal medical center of Fufeng County, and pay according to the market price, if it is still not enough, send someone to purchase from other counties or from Chang'an Pharmacy......" Ma Chao rubbed his temples, tried to clear his mind, and explained to Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo hung the pot to help the world, and after hearing that the matter had been resolved, he didn't even say hello, and immediately turned around and went to list the drug details. And Ma Chao saw Hua Tuo like this, he was not pestle at all, but he admired Hua Tuo's anxious and urgent doctor's demeanor.
"Come on, let Meng he draw up another announcement, just say that our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and there were many patients, followed by the serious damage to the city and the need to renovate, and called on those big households in Fufeng County, especially those who have a medical shop industry, to help generously, and if there is money, there is money to contribute, and there is no money to contribute. In the future, after the introduction of the new policy of Fufeng County, preferential policies can be given to these large households as appropriate. After thinking about it again, Ma Chao instructed the guards around him to let him go and handle this matter first.
This announcement can clearly see the wind direction of the Tsushima family of those big families in Fufeng County; Second, it also shows that the Ma family is trying their best to control the wind; Third, it is also a preventive shot for the political and economic reform of Fufeng County in the future.
However, this is a good thing, Xu is Ma Teng already knows that Hua Tuo has got a solution from Ma Chao. In less than half a moment, Ma Teng sent someone to hand over all the matters submitted by Meng He to Ma Teng for adjudication, and Ma Chao looked at Ma Teng's personal guard, and almost said with a crying voice: "Father doesn't know that Chao is still sick......
"The lord said, if the young master asks about this, just say, just say......" The guard also seemed to feel a little ashamed, and he spoke in a slurred manner.
"Just say what?" Ma Chaohu was stunned, and he was furious when he drew his sword.
The guard has followed Ma Teng for many years, but he has not yet understood the changes of Ma Chao for more than a month, according to his consistent understanding of his young master, he immediately fell to his knees in fright, and also said with a crying voice: "The lord said, those who can work hard, the Ma family has this thousand-mile horse, it is really the luck of Xiliang!" ”
"That's what Daddy said?" Ma Chaohu glanced at the guard suspiciously, and there was a look of disbelief: "If you dare to talk nonsense, you can know that my Ma Chao is ruthless under the sword!" ”
Ma Chao's exclamation almost made the guard pee his pants in fright: "The villain should be damned, the original words of the lord are, 'Lao Tzu doesn't understand these things anyway, take it to Chao'er to do!'" That kid has a lot of ghosts, and these must be difficult for him'! And the villain, the villain speculates that the lord means a lot, which is probably what the villain said before......"
When Ma Chao heard this answer, he was disheartened, and waved his hand to let the poor guard retreat......
But Ma Chao could only worry about the half-desk-thick report: "Good father! What a great dad! Others are afraid that their son will usurp power, but you are afraid that I will not seize power as soon as possible! ”
"Someone came, and ordered, to quickly transfer back Mengda of Beidi County, and the construction of his Hanqiang trading office was temporarily put on hold. Separately call Han Feng, I have something to talk to him. ”
"No!" That Ma Chao's personal guard looked at Ma Chao with a bitter face, and also felt deep sympathy for this eldest son of the Ma family: Fortunately, we are a big boss, if we have to deal with those things like the young master, it is better to kill me directly!
"Slow, let's summon Pang De and Huang Yuan together, well, and Dai'er too. It can be seen that my father means that I am fully responsible for the affairs of the county guard. Ma Chao casually flipped through the reports and found that there were not only civil affairs that Meng had to reply, but also military affairs written by Pang De and Huang Yuan, as well as all kinds of messy things. Suddenly, Ma Chao's feeling of wanting to cry without tears became even stronger.
Others who have crossed over are professional pit dads, and when they cross over by themselves, why did they meet such a superb dad? ——Ma Chao, who was seriously ill, complained to Cangtian.
