Chapter 1208 before and after

Ma Chao completed the ceremony of his imperial edict of King Yong on the high platform where Dong Zhuo held Zen in front of the Chang'an Deyang Hall. The 14 states of the Han Dynasty were very shocked when they heard the news. The situation in the world seems to have entered a period of stability and peace.

This approach is completely opposite to Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of building walls, accumulating grain and slowly claiming the king at the beginning of his development in history. Because Ma Chao vowed to say a very arrogant saying about this: Pride makes people progress, modesty makes people lag behind!

It is true that if it is still the collapse of troubled times and chaos, it is still feasible for Ma Chao to adopt Zhu Yuanzhang's development strategy of making a fortune. But on the issue, after all, he is a time traveler, keenly grasping every opportunity on the historical trajectory and expanding the power of the Ma family to the extreme like blowing balloons.

It's a little late to pick up your tail at this time...

Therefore, Ma Chao can only bluff and guide the Ma family into a style that is about to swallow the world like a tiger, so as to let him work together for the world.

From this, after informing the emperor, Ma Chao immediately launched the next step: to seal the ministers!

This division is not just about the promotion of officials. In the Deyang Hall, when Wenwu listened to the news of the opening and canonization of the little yellow door, there was a hint of fear in their hearts.

By Pound as a former general, leading Jizhou Pastoral! Tian Feng, the doctor, was appointed as a servant of the Chinese calligraphy and served in Jizhou; Hao Zhao was transferred to the general of Zhenbei and the governor of Wei County...

Mix Zhang Liao as the later general and lead the state herdsman! Fa Zheng, a servant of internal history, was shot as a servant of the Chinese book and served in Bingzhou; Yang Xiu was moved to be the governor of Hedong; Chunyu Qiong was moved to be the general of the bandits and stationed in the upper party; Zhang Yan was moved to be a general who asked for the army and was stationed in Mayi...

Worship Zhao Yun as General Zuo and lead Yongzhou Pastoral! Xu Shu, a servant of internal history, moved to Yongzhou; moved Li Chi to General Yingyang and stationed in Tianshui...

Worship Xu Huang as the right general and lead Liangzhou Pastoral! ......

The four generals around this have always been the top generals of the Han Dynasty, and Ma Chao's canonization of these four people is also expected by the public. But the only difference is that after the four of them were awarded the title, they even took the position of state pastor! Even those generals who first started with the Ma family were dispersed and transferred to the states and counties.

Although this kind of thing is probably reasonable, Ma Chao so simply and resolutely transferred his close ministers to the states and counties and guarded one side alone. It was really unexpected for a while - in everyone's opinion, in this period, at least after the whole Ma family's governance is straightened, he will enter this king. The situation of Chen Gongwei, right?

Unfortunately, Ma Chao was not psychologically prepared for this person. According to him, after the honeymoon, the young couple should recognize the reality. Previously, he told the world and inspected the army in order to bring the enthusiasm of these close ministers who were still saved into the states and counties and start the period of vigorous development of the Ma family.

Generally speaking, although the Han Dynasty is still fragmented, the forces of various princes have surfaced and entered a super-strong separatist situation: the land of the Central Plains is firmly controlled by Cao Cao, Yuan Tan in Qingzhou is still alive, and the world believes that he will be captured by Cao in the future; the land of Jiangdong is led by the little bully Sun Ce, even Jiehuai Si, there is a period on the day of entering the north; Jingxiang and Shuzhong are still under the control of the hands of the veteran emperors Liu Biao and Liu Zhang. The two are in a corner, and there is no success in entering the map, but they have more than themselves.

And the northern superpower is the newly rising Ma family. This time, Cao owes the Ma family a huge debt for a year, so that Cao has no strength to fight with the Ma family within three years. Jiangdong Sun Ce should be a powerful threat, but like the Ma family, after the conquest of Yuan Shu, the national strength is exhausted and the stamina is insufficient; and Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are really not brainless.

On the surface, as long as the Ma family takes the lead in recovering, bullying the weak, and destroying it can unify the country. But is this really the case?

Not necessarily.

Three years is not long or short, and there are too many changes. With the rise of the Ma family, the Cao family will not be better. What's more, Cao Cao became a son-in-law with Sun Ce as early as six months ago. In addition to dealing with the Ma family, will there be other factors?

Liu Zhang's small kingdom has not changed much. He dares to move the Ma family, and he is absolutely impatient to live. But then again, even if the Ma family is strong and powerful, can it easily destroy Liu Zhang?

It is also unlikely. The difficulty in Shu is more difficult than to go to the blue sky. The roads in the territory are rugged and bumpy, with 18 passes. Even if the shadow has painted the geography of the mountains and rivers in Shu into the tripod map of Dayu, if they don't know the troop configuration of each pass and all the information of Yizhou, the Ma family can only get their heads in and come back with blood.

At present, the only unfortunate thing is that Liu Biao in Jingzhou will do it as soon as the Ma family recovers; if Cao wants to expand his living space, he will also do it; Sun Ce will also do it if he wants to go north into the Central Plains!

The process of unification has always been like this. After the chaos and the pattern is stable, it will always go through a long seesaw period, as evidence that the period of the Three Kingdoms in history is much longer than the period of division. Three years later, until Jingxiang's wolf smoke was everywhere, when the major forces competed there to see the saw and the dust settled, it was still a little credible to talk about the general trend of the world. What is said now is full of speculation and whims.

And what is the most important thing in these three years? It is to work together to make the Ma family into the most powerful, most prominent and outstanding prince in this era. And the completion of this great cause needs to be promoted by the top-down system. The reason why Ma Chao transferred those ministers with outstanding ability and close relationships to important positions was to pave the way for this upward and downward system.

The old fox said that relatives should not be too close, and if they are too close, they will not be respected; if they are close, if they are too close, there will be disaster - Ma Chao is doing just like this now.

Therefore, after the little yellow gate general was canonized, everyone in the Ma family found that those important ministers had become the bones and torso of the Ma family; Wei Yan sent to guard Hanzhong; Gao Shunkong fell to Yingchuan and led Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Yang Feng and Fan Chou, becoming the most important barrier in the east of the Ma family; Huang Zhong also went to the front line of Luoyang. The army of Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan was twisted into a rope...

In Chang'an, Ma Chao has almost no close ministers. The only thing worth mentioning is Sima Yi and Brother Chou. The reason why these two people were left is that Sima Yi has a clear and clear secret strategy to deal with Cao. This plan requires an ugly brother with a shadow identity to implement. At the same time, he also has another special task, which is to keep an uncomfortable guy Sima Yi.

Even Ma Dai, the brother of Ma Chao's family, was transferred to Wen Cheng's account and brought in 30,000 Xiongnu horses to be used as a strength accumulation to deal with Liu Biao in the future... Such changes made the ministers of the Ma family see Ma Chao's determination and ambition. Because this kind of action is completely to annex the adjustment and deterrence before swallowing the world!

Three days later, the smoke and dust rolled through the whole city of Chang'an, and countless proud soldiers left the city one after another. The people of Chang'an looked at these faces with great feelings and the faces of major generals, and vaguely foresaw that this troubled times were about to enter the last tranquility before the storm.

They have no ability to predict when this storm vortex will come. The only hope is that day, they can come slower and slower, so that they can recover to accept the hardship...
