Healthy horses arrived in Chang'an one by one, and since three days ago, it was reported that Sili and one place had a disaster almost at the same time, and locusts swarmed from the waterfront, the old river, and the barren beach of the reed land, and they actually formed swarms and swarmed everywhere. Everywhere it passes, not an inch of grass grows. The first to be reported was Tongguan, followed by urgent reports from other counties.

On the sand table simulation map, Tongguan, Jingyang, Gaoling, Weinan to Hangu Pass, Hongnong, and then to Mianchi, the entire pass is full of yellow disaster flags, and all the civil and military officers of the Ma family look at the dense small flags, and their faces are extremely gloomy.

The final blow of the three consecutive blows of the natural disaster was too ruthless, far beyond Ma Chao's psychological defense. Even though the Ma family reacted at the beginning, he couldn't imagine that he, who was invincible on the battlefield, would do everything he could in the face of natural disasters, and he couldn't resist the slightest.

And the incident in the report also deeply shocked Ma Chao: Hongnong County Shou Hu Zhong issued a field burning order in order to prevent the locust plague from spreading to other counties, so that the crops and locusts in the whole county were wiped out, and then he threw himself into the fire**, and the world was shocked.

Ling Hu Zhong, Ma Chao recalled all the characters of the Three Kingdoms in his mind, and he had no impression of him. But what he did this time hit Ma Chao's heart more directly than those many capable officials and ministers who left a green history. First, the Ma family was shocked by the righteousness of the ancients, and second, Ma Chao finally realized that many unknown figures in history were not because they lacked talent or virtue. Sometimes all they lack is an opportunity.

"When the Ma family is in turmoil at this time, the deceased is gone, and the mourning is useless. If you put the will of Linghu County in your heart, it will last forever. Ma Chao spoke bitterly, he was very ashamed, at this time, the Ma family was unable to give Ling Huzhong a beautiful funeral.

"No!" At the bottom, Wu listened to Ma Chao's order, and they were also inexplicably emotional. Except for promises, he shouldn't have said anything for a while.

"Does the Linghu family have wives and children?" Ma Chao asked again, looking at Huangfu Li.

"There is only one son, named Shao." Emperor Fu Li, who was in charge of the affairs of the officials, stepped forward after listening to Ma Chao's inquiry, and opened his mouth to pray.

"Linghu Shao?" Ma Chao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: This Linghu Shao, he knows. And what's interesting is that this Linghu Shao, the official position he held in history, is also the county guard of Hongnong.

Linghu Shao, the word Uncle Kong, a native of Taiyuan, was the Hongnong Taishou of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. At the beginning of Jian'an, Shao Juye. After Cao broke Yecheng, he signed Shao to plan for the army. After migrating to the prime minister's main book, he was born as Hongnong Taishou. Shao is too punctual, his place is as clear as ice and snow, and he is dedicated to the people; Be kind and teach, treat others with forgiveness, not good at prison lawsuits, and have no taboos. The Hongnong will be governed by a clean wind and a rich and blazing fire.

Not only that, Linghu Shao also attaches great importance to academic inheritance. In view of the fact that the people of Hongnong at that time were due to successive military disasters, almost no one knew the scriptures and history. Hu Shao was deeply afraid that the religion would be lost and civilization would be lost. He encouraged his subordinates to go out to study and return to their hometowns to open schools, and re-educate and revitalize learning, which made Hongnong a place where the style of learning flourished. His vision is so far-reaching, which is admirable.

Recalling Ling Hu Shao's life, Ma Chao couldn't help but raise a complicated smile at the corner of his mouth, full of emotion: With such a family style, it is no wonder that Ling Hu Shao will be able to leave his name in history in the future.

"Yan Shao entered the Ma family and was treated like Hu'er and Tie'er." Ma Chao opened his mouth and said in grief and remembrance: "Chao can't give Linghu County a beautiful funeral, but he will never let the descendants of the martyrs suffer from chaos and bullying!" ”

This time, Ma Chao did not have any intention of buying people's hearts and selling his reputation. After listening to Ma Chao's disposition, the subordinate officials felt empathy, and couldn't help but say in unison: "The lord is benevolent, and his subordinates are impressed." ”

"Don't talk nonsense that doesn't help." Ma Chao waved his hand, and the conditioning of acupuncture and moxibustion decoction for a few days was effective. But the root of his illness was on the victims, and now after saying a word, he felt cold again, and his body couldn't help but shake a little. But he still tried to straighten his body, and tried to say in a calm tone: "Everyone, come and see, what can you do at this time? ”

"The lord already has a plan in his heart, so why waste time in vain?" Jia Fox had already learned that Ma Chao was seriously ill, and seeing Ma Chao's expression at this time, he wanted to cut through the mess quickly and solve the matter as soon as possible.

"Could it be? Is it really that far? Xun Yu stepped forward, he knew what Jia Xu meant. But then he looked at the yellow sea on the sand table simulation, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "With the sword soldiers, the Ma family has no way to retreat, if this battle cannot be resolved quickly, I am afraid that the Ma family will never turn over!" ”

"Now, Yuan Shu has sent the general Liu Xiang to lead 30,000 pioneers to garrison Kuangting and enter Zhencheng." Li Ru came up, picked up a small flag with the word 'Yuan' written on it, pinned it in Kuangting, and then took out a small flag with the word 'Cao' written on it, and continued: "And Cao Cao also personally led an army of 100,000 troops into Zhencheng to denounce Yuan Shumu Wujun and Weiling Xudu. The two armies have become fire and water, and they are on the verge of breaking out. ”

"Cao Gong used soldiers like a god, and Liu Xiang knew that he was not an opponent, so he did not move. However, if this is the case, it will be even more defeated! Guo Jia stepped forward and unceremoniously pulled out Kuangting's small flag with the word 'Yuan'.

"Why did Feng Xiao conclude that Liu Xiang would definitely be defeated?" In terms of military strategy, Yang Fu is still slightly inferior to these masters who have become saints. Seeing Guo Jia so free, he couldn't help but ask.

And this question is actually what Ma Chao wants to ask. According to history, Ma Chao only knew that Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were in this battle, Yuan Shu was defeated, and was beaten by Cao Cao, from June to the end of winter, Yuan Shu retreated 600 miles, and rushed directly from Yuzhou to Yangzhou. But he didn't know anything about the process.

However, Ma Chao has experienced too many such scenarios. After seeing a sudden look flashing on his face anyway, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and said: "Super even feeling cold and internal heat, it is not appropriate to open your mouth more, so I will explain it by filial piety." ”

As soon as Fa Zheng figured out Guo Jia's basis, he saw Ma Chao's unfathomable eyes. In addition to admiring Ma Chao in his heart, how can he see Ma Chao's little abacus? Therefore, he hurriedly came up, pointed to the sand table map and said: "Everyone, please see, Liu Xiangtun Bing Kuangting, according to Yuan Shu's base camp to seal the hill only has one day's trip, it seems to be safe." However, when Cao's army reached Kuangting, he only needed to cross the Pushui; However, the Yuan army needed to cross the Jushui, Bianshui, Nanji River, and Beiji River to reach it, and you must be aware of the time it takes to march across the water. Therefore, in fact, it will take less time for Cao Jun to arrive. ”

Speaking of this, how could Ma Chao still not see the key to it, and couldn't help but follow Fa Zheng's words and said: "Cao Cao's thinking with soldiers is extremely stretched, and it is impossible for him not to see such an obvious time difference. Liu Xiang is looking for his own death, no wonder others. ”

The highest level of a lie is seven points of truth and three points of falsehood. And the reason why Ma Chao has always made his subordinates mistakenly think that he has everything in his hands is also because of this. Everyone listened to Ma Chao's last sentence and broke the key, how could they not admire Ma Chao's foresight and hit the nail on the head?

And Fa Zheng can only thank Ma Chao for giving him the opportunity to speak freely, and he will not doubt that Ma Chao listened to his analysis and saw everything.

However, after saying this, Yang Fu still frowned and pondered, and said: "The meaning of humility is not all about Cao Yuan's victory or defeat, but I want to know, why did the lord choose to take the fire and move the victims to Hangu Pass to wade into troubled waters?" ”

Ma Chao was silent for a long time when he heard this. Finally, in the eager eyes of everyone, he slowly spoke: "Because in addition to finding a way to survive for these victims, I must stop Cao Cao's hand from reaching Yuzhou too much!" Cao Mengde is a hero today, if he is not curbed as soon as possible, he will definitely be the enemy of the Ma family in the future!! ”
