Chapter 716 Two-pronged retreat from Zhang Lu

"Is this time, the Ma family must give up this good opportunity created by painstaking efforts and wield an army into Liangzhou?" Ma Chao saw the first page of the motion taken out by the Ministry of War overnight and did not mention Yanzhou at all, and couldn't help saying angrily.

"Lord, this is also a helpless move. If it is not flat in Liangzhou, the rear of the Ma family will be unstable. After the chaotic army breaks through the three counties of Longxi, Guangwei and Tianshui, it is more likely to attack Fufeng directly. And the Yongzhou area is all garrisoned by county soldiers, not the enemy of the chaotic army!" Xun You saw that Ma Chao was so difficult to give up Yanzhou. He knew that Ma Chao had planned for several months of regret. However, he had to force him to say, "Lord, this is the autumn of the Ma family. Don't be angry!"

"Lord, although Liangzhou is not a state of rice and rice fragrance, it has been operated by General Han for many years, but it is also an excellent place for commerce with the Western Regions. In addition, there are frequent internal strakis in Liangzhou at this time, and if the lord swings his army to enter the master, he can do it once and for all!" Hua Xin couldn't help speaking at this time and said urgently, "If the lord insists on attacking Yanzhou, Yongzhou will definitely lose. If you attack Liangzhou, you can all get Liangzhou. I hope the lord will think deeply about such a choice!"

Ma Chao listened to the two's advice and saw that others were also ready to move. He couldn't help waved his hand in frustration: Why didn't Ma Chao himself know these truths? But the problem is that even though these people know that Cao Cao is powerful, they never know that Cao Cao will be the most powerful master in the world in the future. At this time, under the situation that history has become completely different, I have tried my best to create such a good opportunity by chance. If I miss the past again, I may not have a chance to take advantage of history in the future.

However, now that the boat has been completed, Ma Chao has been forced by Liu Xie to calm the chaos first and then Cao Cao. Therefore, even though he was reluctant, Ma Chao still sighed and said, "There is no need to say more. The princes try their best to know the hearts of the Ma family. Previously, it was super reckless, and I hope the public will not be blamed.

After saying this, Ma Chao continued to look at the response strategy of the Ministry of War and continued to ask, "There is no need to say much about Liangzhou. Naturally, it is to wave troops to annihilate in order to completely consolidate the rear of the Ma family. However, Hanzhong and Xiongnu, what are the countermeasures of the military?

"Lord, the Ma family is exhausted at this time. Even if there are 50,000 elite soldiers, they can't fight for a long time. Therefore, both the minister and Xun Shangshu believed that they should attack Liangzhou with heavy troops with the power of thunder. Hanzhong and Xiongnu are just people who take advantage of the fire to rob. If Liangzhou is paced, the two sides will retreat. Li Ru came forward and said the main points of the whole military department.

"Well, that's how it should be." Ma Chao nodded, immersed his mind in the motion, and continued to say, "Although these two roads are cogent and unavoidable. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong dared to send troops to attack Tianshui, which shows his intention to test the Ma family. And the Xiongnu Chen Bing Chang'an, this time sending troops, the dead will inevitably march to the west. If the Xiongnu can look at the emptiness of the Ma family and take the opportunity to enter, won't it be even worse?

"Don't worry, the Lord feels that the response of the Ministry of War is feasible." Yang Fu was the person who reviewed the bill of the Ministry of War. At this time, when he heard that Ma Chao was worried, he couldn't help but come forward and explain, "The humble people are still found out about Zhang Lu, because the large number of Ma's goods have poured into Hanzhong, which makes the people of Hanzhong increasingly poor. In addition, many of Zhang Lu's men, sacrificing wine and treating their heads because they were greedy for Ma's goods, which contradicted the morality of the 'Wudou Rice Religion', which made Zhang Lu furious.

When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly thought of the term 'trade deficit' and the impact of the Ma family's commodity economy on Zhang Lu's self-produced economy.

After Zhang Lu was divided into Hanzhong, he taught the people with five buckets of rice and Taoism and established a political and religious regime. According to historical records, Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong because of his attack on Zhang Xiu's teaching method and 'added it'. He calls himself a 'master'. Those who came to learn Taoism were initially called 'ghosts', and when they were believed in this way, they were called 'sacrifice wine', and led many of them as 'big sacrificial wine'. No chief officials are used to manage local government affairs. Inherit the teachings of his ancestors, teach the people to be honest and not cheat, and make patients turn themselves in their sins; forgive the offenders three times, and if they commit them again, they will be punished; if it is a minor fault, they should build a hundred steps to atone for their sins. According to the Moon Order, slaughter and alcoholism are prohibited when everything grows in spring and summer. He also founded a charity house, which put rice meat in it for passers-by to measure their stomachs for free, and claimed that if he got too much, he would offend ghosts and gods and get sick.

It can be seen that Zhang Lu relies entirely on the power of faith in the governance of Hanzhong. And the Hanzhong economy has a more primitive communist meaning. Take "Yishe" as an example. It's free to eat there, which smells like a primitive commune. In the era of the Three Kingdoms, it is difficult for this idealized thing to withstand the storm, and Laozi's incompetration and Taoist pure philosophy are also difficult to achieve a strong regime. In this era, without power means being eaten. As for getting sick and not seeing a doctor, it is even more ridiculous to admit your mistakes and seek peace.

Therefore, when the goods of the Ma family flooded into Hanzhong, it was not only a material transformation, but also an awakening of thought. The people around Yongzhou have turned their tough nature into hard-working character in exchange for the happiness of worry-free food and clothing. After their goods entered Hanzhong, the people of Hanzhong just showed a new life of food according to work and disease.

It can be said that the export of goods of the Ma family has not only carried out economic plundering of Hanzhong, but also carried out ideological baptism. Although Ma Chao was not aware at all, in fact, Ma Chao had begun to divide the big cake in Hanzhong with Zhang Lu. And this is absolutely intolerable by Zhang Lu.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel that Zhang Lu's side was not so easy to deal with. However, Yang Fu didn't think so. After Ma Chao finished thinking about it, he continued to say, "The Ministry of War suggested that the envoy of the Ministry of Ceremonies should be sent to Hanzhong to negotiate with Zhang Lu. The condition is that the Ma family promised to do its best to improve the living standards of the people of Hanzhong, so that the people of Hanzhong can live the desired life like the people of Yongzhou. And the purpose is naturally for Zhang Lu to withdraw from the army.

"It's too whims. Ma Chao waved his hand and could see that although Xun You and Li Ru had seen the key to the problem, their countermeasures were not good: "As expected, I'm afraid that the opinion of the Ministry of War will be calming down Liangzhou, or after the Ma family turns over next year, the backhand will destroy Zhang Lu, right? Zhang Lu is by no means a fool. The Ma family is so low-profile that he will definitely see the clue..."

"Lord, don't worry, the humble position is not finished yet." Yang Fu saw that Ma Chao really said the intention of the military department in one sentence. Naturally, Zhan Yan smiled, and then continued to say, "Master, don't forget that Cao Cao can borrow Zhang Lu's hand so that the Ma family is not allowed to interfere in Yanzhou. Then why can't we all be at the hands of Liu Zhang and force Zhang Lu not to intervene in Liangzhou?

"You are saying..." Ma Chao frowned and quickly turned to the page of the proposal of the Ministry of War. After reading it quickly, he opened his mouth and said, "The messenger clearly negotiated with Zhang Lu, but secretly provoked Liu Zhang to send troops?"

"It's not the dark warehouse of the Mingxiu plank road, but two-pronged approach." Speaking of this, it was not Yang Fu who came to explain, but changed to Xun You. Obviously, this strategy is his handwriting: "Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu have a feud against killing their mother. The Shu Road is rugged, and the news is blocked. Liu Zhang Lu must not know about Zhang Lu's dispatching to Yongzhou. If someone needs it, he only needs to reveal the news to Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang will naturally take action. Under both soft and hard, I definitely don't believe that Zhang Lu will dare to refuse such a favorable condition of the Ma family?!"

"This plan is feasible!" Ma Chao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the words: he retreated all the way without moving his swords. The power of the counselors could not be underestimated.

However, talking about Zhang Lu, Ma Chao seems to think of another person. He is the first celebrity under Zhang Lu in history and is greedy for money. He took Liu Bei's money and "forced" Ma Chao to Liu Bei's men, but also collected Cao Cao's golden armor, and Pang De, who was stranded in Hanzhong due to illness, "forced" Cao Cao's men.

Ma Chao smiled at the corners of his mouth and couldn't help thinking that the ci chen was actually very useful. Especially when he is under your enemy's account, it is even more useful: it seems that he may have to talk to Qin Yu about Yang Song...
