Chapter 809: Cultivating Ma Dai
Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, I couldn't help but choke on tears.
Liu Bao finally left the sad place of Chang'an, and for the hussar general who snatched his beloved woman, he never had the idea of revenge in his heart.
In troubled times, not everyone has ambitions and ambitions. And the descendants of steppe wolves like Liu Bao have a docile character like a dog. Although rare, his occasional rise and struggle, not so mad that he dared to cross the thunder pool of the grassland destruction: he couldn't afford that kind of price.........
What's more, before that, he still has a lot of important things to do. For example, competing with the Tuoba tribe for the resources of the tribes that survived in the Xiongnu steppe, and thinking about the norms and ways of peaceful coexistence with the Tuoba tribe.
The hot June passed in such a chilling silence. The remaining residual heat continued to burn on the battlefield in Yanzhou. And for Ma Chao, it was time for him to implement his plan.
"Serve the Lord to follow the people's prestige, uphold justice to serve the heroes, and support the righteousness and handsome." Slowly putting down the information in his hand, Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh: "Cao Mengde has Xun Yu alone, which is worth 100,000 troops!" ”
"Big brother, these three sentences are really worthy of your admiration?" Ma Dai came into contact with these things at the political level for the first time, and when he saw Ma Chao's sighing expression, he couldn't help but ask.
Diao Chan is pregnant, and it has become more and more inconvenient to help Ma Chao deal with the shadow matter recently. And Ma Chao considered that he would soon go to Xuzhou, and the Ma family could not be guarded without his loved ones. As a result, Ma Dai was temporarily transferred back, and let him first contact this matter of intelligence and politics, so that if the Ma family really had an accident, Ma Dai could also make a decision on behalf of Ma Chao with the full support of the Ma family's civil and military forces.
This choice has nothing to do with anything else.
Blood is always the most important bond that maintains a family. At present, only Ma Dai is an adult in the Ma family and has been tempered, if Ma Chao is not there, even though Ma Dai's official position is not as good as others, he is a person who can justifiably give orders instead of Ma Chao.
The pattern of the family world is already the main theme of this era. This is not something that Ma Chao can break at will if he wants to, even if Ma Chao sets up a minister of care for his life when he travels, but the object of these ministers of life is only the Ma family!
Therefore, for the cultivation of Ma Dai, it is necessary and does not need any reason.
"Honor the Son of Heaven to obey the will of the people, the Grand Duke to be selfless to submit to the princes, and the righteous to recruit heroes. Xun Yu's three programs said that respecting the Son of Heaven to obey the will of the people is the biggest trend, which is called Dashun; The selflessness of the Grand Duke to subjugate the princes is the greatest strategy, which is called Daluo; Promoting justice to recruit heroes is the greatest morality, which is called great virtue. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Chao looked at Ma Dai's serious comprehension, and continued to explain seriously: "Dashun Supreme, Da Shun is the most public, and Dade is righteous, with these three majors, Cao Cao will definitely be invincible and invincible, even if someone comes out to oppose him, it can only be a mantis arm as a car, a clown jumping off the beam, and it can't become a climate........ Dai'er, don't underestimate these seemingly illusory and empty words, who knows, the success or failure of the princes of one side is often determined by these programs. ”
"Big brother, these are just Xun Yu's words to persuade Cao Cao not to send troops to Xuzhou, why did it suddenly rise to the level of the three programs?" Ma Dai also heard the subtlety and vastness contained in Xun Yu's words at this time, but at this moment he still couldn't figure out why Xun Yu would make such a fuss about a trivial matter.
"Fuss?" Ma Chao couldn't help frowning when he heard Ma Dai being so unimpressed, he wanted to open his mouth and drink Ma Dai lightly, but after thinking about it, he still had patience, came to the sand table simulation map, pointed to the battle situation of the Lu and Cao families, and said: "Now that the drought and locust plague in Yanzhou have risen, compared with the Sili disaster last year, although it is a little light, it is enough to break the stalemate between the two families." ”
"There has always been no trivial matter in the soldiers, and if Xun Yudong is a person watching the fire, he will not make a big fuss." As he spoke, Ma Chao pointed to Puyang with his right hand and said: "When there was no drought or locust plague, Feng Xiangong let Cao Cao attack the city and fight, but he only kept it behind closed doors. Because Feng Xiangong knew that if he wanted to win against Cao Cao, he only needed to spend time with Cao Cao. You have been in war for a long time, you should be able to see why, right? ”
Ma Dai suddenly listened to Ma Chao's question, and a guess faintly rose in his heart. But he is a person who knows the difficulties, and when he encounters this examination, Ma Dai pondered for a while, and then said: "Grain and grass!" ”
"Yes, to spend time with Cao Cao is to consume Cao Cao's grain and grass. Cao Cao naturally knew this, so he was in a hurry to fight, but unfortunately Feng Xiaogong didn't like him. Ma Chao opened his mouth to praise Ma Dai, and after making a harmless joke, he continued to explain to Ma Dai in detail: "Cao Cao's base is only three cities of Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian, and his attack must not last, especially if the grain and grass are not continued, and the war is long and fruitless, it is easy for the army to leave, especially the Qingzhou Army with the largest number of people, this army was recruited back by the Yellow Turban Party, and the military discipline was loose and the loyalty to Cao Cao was not high, and it was easy to change internally, and therefore, The longer the time dragged on, the worse Cao Cao's situation became. ”
"On the other hand, there are many supporters from Fengxian Gong, as long as it is in the autumn ripe season, harvest ripe wheat, and then the soldiers will be strong and the grain will be sufficient, and then what is the difficulty of breaking Cao Cao? It's a pity that God favors Cao Cao, but at this time, Yanzhou has encountered two disasters in a row, so that there is no harvest and the people cannibalism, so that although Cao Cao's situation is bad and unchanged, Feng Xiangong is also unlucky, and the two are short of food at the same time, and they return to the same running line. ”
Although Cao Cao and Lu Bu also faced a shortage of food, Feng Xiangong's loss was much greater than Cao Cao's. Cao Cao mainly attacked the siege of the city, and if he lacked food, he could also rob houses in the suburbs of the nearby city at will, or retreat back to defend the city, and there was no worry about besieging the city. However, Feng Xiangong wanted to stick to Puyang, once there was a shortage of food, there would be a besieging army outside, and there would be no food inside, and the chaos in the army's heart would be ten times higher than that of Cao Cao. ”
"Fortunately, Cao Cao was unable to fight again at this time, so he led the army back to Juancheng, and Feng Xiangong also temporarily moved the army to Shanyang County for food, and each of them ceased their troops." After saying this, Ma Chao finally turned the topic back to the starting point, looked back at Ma Dai, smiled and said: "The situation of the two armies at this time is tired and the food is declining, Cao Cao seems to be jealous of Xuzhou, which he fought so hard to fight, and was picked up by Liu Bei beautifully. But in fact, it is very likely that Cao Cao subconsciously was unwilling to continue the war with Feng Xiangong, so he simply abandoned Yanzhou and picked Liu Bei, a bully Xuzhou, to fight. ”
"Tactically speaking, Cao Cao is exhausted at this time, how can he still have the ability to attack Xuzhou from afar? Strategically speaking, it was Cao Cao who wanted to give up the outline of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and use Xuzhou as a springboard to make a comeback. After speaking, Ma Chao's last sentence was fixed, and he definitely asserted: "So, this is not Xun Yu's fuss, but when Cao Cao's political direction deviated, he played the role of turning the tide and the pillar of optimus!" ”
"Is that so?" Ma Dai listened stupidly, this vivid lesson really shattered Ma Dai's narrow understanding of generals, and thus entered a new level that he had never thought of.
However, it is precisely because of this that Ma Dai understands more and more that Ma Chao will not wake him up for no reason. Therefore, Ma Dai's face was calm, and he turned to ask Ma Chao: "Big brother, you are pointing me out like this." Is it that during this time, you are leaving Chang'an again? ”
"That's true." Ma Chao admitted this very dryly, patted Ma Dai on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "This time, I want to enter Xuzhou to unite with Liu Bei and formulate a plan for the Ma family and Liu Bei to attack Cao Cao left and right." Therefore, when I leave, there are many important things for the Ma family, and you have to provoke this beam with all your heart! ”
After hearing ........this, Ma Dai felt both the heavy burden of the big burden in his heart, and the emotion of trusting Ma Chao so much. My heart was churning, and I didn't know what to say.
When Ma Chao saw Ma Dai like this, he thought that Ma Dai was worried that he was overwhelmed, and then opened his mouth to encourage Ma Dai: "Don't worry, Cao Cao has Xun Yu, and the Ma family is full of talents." What's more, when I enter Xuzhou, I don't have to make a trip immediately........"
Speaking of this, the corners of Ma Chao's mouth couldn't help but show a weird smile, looked at the direction of Xuchang on the map, and muttered: "How to say, before this, I also want this mess, and it will be .........better to make it even more chaotic."
