If there are a few things that can make those guys who are a little clever but always their tails deflated, Ma Chao will be very happy. But today is different, next year's three consecutive attacks, like three mountains, pressed on Ma Chao's heart, so that he didn't have the heart to watch the jokes of the three at all.

Fortunately, the guys who can make a name in history are not all decaying people who have left behind only arrogant reputations. Just when Ma Chao was disheartened, he saw a person coming out of the court, and the internal affairs talent in Ma Chao's impression was Li Ru, a guy who has been criticized a lot in history.

After Li Ru groaned slightly, he said slowly: "My lord, the elite of the lowly position, although it is a trick to march and schem, but after thinking about it carefully, the lowly position found that the solution to this famine and natural disaster can be ....... between easy and difficult."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?! Ma Chao was stunned, looking left and right, and all the civil officials in the hall were also puzzled.

"Humble means that it is not difficult to get through the difficulties of next year, but it will be difficult in the future!" Li Ru arched his hand and said: "Although I don't know what the tax revenue of Yongzhou is this year, there must be a lot of surplus. And the reason for the dilemma is that if they don't care about the victims, they will definitely rise up. And if they are relieved, the entire Ma family may also accompany them to starve to death, and if they want to get through this pass, there may be only one way......."

Speaking of which, it turned out that he was still worried about dragging down the Ma family. Ma Chao shook his head tiredly, he hadn't estimated this consequence. According to the most bottom-line conservative estimate, Ma Chao and a group of internal affairs experts believe that the Ma family needs at least two to three years of recuperation. And if this is really the case, the Kanto side may have already undergone great changes at that time, and the little historical advantage he knows will be completely occupied by Liu Xie!

However, hearing that Li Ru still had a way to solve it, Ma Chao still had great expectations, and couldn't help asking, "What way?" As long as Ma Chao can successfully pass this difficulty, Wen You is the biggest hero of the Ma family! ”

However, after Li Ru heard this, he did not have a happy expression, but cautiously said to Ma Chao in advance: "The law that the humble position said may not be in line with the will of the lord. If there is anything radical, I hope the lord will not blame him. ”

"But it's okay to say it......." Hearing Li Ru say this, Ma Chao actually didn't have any expectations in his heart. But when he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, he still couldn't help but answer the way.

"I thought that the Ma family could recruit the young and strong, dismiss the old and weak, form a large army, send troops to Luoyang, and then drive into the Kanto ......." When Li Ru said this strategy, his eyes couldn't help but flash a cold essence, which made people think of him in an instant, but he was the 'poisoner' who poisoned the first emperor and destroyed the old capital Luoyang with just a few words.

And after Ma Chao heard this strategy, he couldn't cry or laugh. He never thought that Li Ru, a guy, would be able to come up with such a scheme to go off the rails and hurt others and himself. He thought that he was ruthless enough, but he really didn't expect that Li Ru, a weak guy, would treat human life like a mustard more than himself.......

"The lord does not know anything, he is from a humble background, and he knows the nature of those victims best. In the face of hunger, those victims have no humanity at all, and they are not united to help each other. They lived in groups either by clan or by region, and they did not speak in unison, and even hated each other because of the lack of food. Killing other victims, such as slaughtering livestock......" Speaking of this, Li Ru suddenly felt that he might be a little too nostalgic and deviated from the topic, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Therefore, the meaning of lowly duty, a certain class can be divided and conquered, using grain and grass as bait to absorb the ....... of the young and strong."

"Wen You is cautious!" Before Ma Chao could speak, Yang Fu couldn't help but stand up, and said in an accentuated tone, "The slaughter of the people will be pointed out by thousands of people, and before the moment of life and death, this matter should not be mentioned!" ...... If the sword soldiers are opened, how will the tens of millions of people in the Han Dynasty view our Ma family in the future? As far as the Danqing history books go, where will the Ma family and others be......."

Yang Fu spoke, in fact, it was quite polite. On the side, Cai Yong's movements seemed to be a little slow, but his expression was angry, and he wanted to scold. However, before he got up, he saw Ma Chao's cold eyes attacking, and asked, "Does Master Yuezhang have a good plan?" If you just deny Wen You's words, you don't need to say more........"

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, and then sat back in his place. Ma Chao now seems to have seen through people like Cai Yong, Peng Yi, Liao Li, and Yang Xiu, and often beat their pride as soon as they open their mouths, making them helpless in front of Ma Chao and a little more self-aware.

However, for Yang Fu and Li Ru, Ma Chao didn't ask at all. And Cai Yong also knows that these two people are different from himself, and in their disputes, they use the most practical interests to plan the development of the Ma family. As soon as he opened his mouth, I am afraid that it was just etiquette and morality, Ma Chao couldn't listen to it at all, and he would scoff at those things.......

"It's a matter of life and death!!" Li Ru unceremoniously interrupted Yang Fu's words, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at Yang Fu without flinching, and said eloquently, "If the disaster breaks out, the Sili area, conservatively estimated, will suddenly appear 1.5 million disaster victims. Among them, there are about five or six hundred thousand young and strong people, if the Ma family insists on being a good family of those flies and dogs, they will definitely be dragged to death by the victims! According to the humble opinion, draw the young and strong for the army, give a few days of rations, drive it to the front, rush to attack the east before the heavy snow, and give food to the enemy, in this way, one will expand the territory of our Ma family, and the other will .......lead the water to the east."

"This must not happen!" Shocked, Yang Fu couldn't wait to jump up, fell to his knees with a thud, and after apologizing to Ma Chao, he turned his head to Li Ru and glared angrily, and scolded, "Wen You is stupid, this is the strategy to destroy my Ma family!" You have such a poisonous plan, what is the difference between the Ma family and the thief? When the people's hearts are lost, the crowd of the world will attack them, and we will not be able to bury ourselves in a hill!! ”

Li Ru was also provoked by Yang Fu, and he also gave up his hand to Ma Chao first, but when he wanted to open his mouth to refute Yang Fu, he saw that Ma Chao waved his hand, stopped his fierce argument with Yang Fu, and said: "What Wen You said is a strategy that the Ma family has to choose when it is extremely poor, although the sword goes sideways, but it must be said, it is also a way.......

When Yang Fu heard Ma Chao say this, he looked indignant, and wanted to kowtow and cry blood to admonish. And His Royal Highness's ministers also have the intention to move. But Ma Chao also waved his hand at Yang Fu and continued: "However, the Ma family has not yet reached the land where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, Wen You's plan, although it can have great benefits in the short term, can solve the problem of the Ma family in one fell swoop." However, with the foundation of the Ma family at this time, with Chang'an and Yongzhou, it is absolutely impossible to confront the entire Han princes and the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Ma Chao understood Li Ru's approach, and his plan was to organize an army of death squads, like the Yellow Turban Army, to fight like locusts, and to rob everything that could be robbed and destroy everything that could be destroyed in every place he killed, so that the landlords would become corpses, the rich peasants and middle peasants would become poor, and the poor would become soldiers of the Ma family. It's just that such an anti-civilizational, anti-human way of warfare, in the beginning, can indeed achieve the short-term benefits of the military bloc, but in the later stage it is absolutely uncontrollable - when the army does not fight for political purposes, but purely for the purpose of robbery, then the war loses any meaning.

And history has long proved this, Zhang Jiao succeeded with this, and failed because of this - when countless peasants who could not bear the oppression of the decadent Han Dynasty rose up, the land of thirteen states, wolf smoke rose. But in the later period of the Yellow Turban, Zhang Jiao couldn't control those murderous armies at all. The slogan of doing the right thing for heaven has also become an act of doing evil for heaven. Therefore, in the later period, wherever the Yellow Turban Army went, it was immediately met with fierce resistance from all classes except the poor peasants, and as a result, the vigorous Yellow Turban Rebellion was still defeated by the rotten Han Dynasty.

That anti-civilizational, anti-human mode of warfare is unacceptable to any reasonable person. The reason why people are human beings is because they still have beauty and conscience in their hearts. If even these things are abandoned, what is the difference between man and beast?

Ma Chao didn't want to be a brute, so although he admitted that Li Ru's strategy was also a plan, it was to guide the whole meeting and lead to a solution. And in my heart, no matter what, I will not accept Li Ru's suggestion.
