Chapter 599 Xiliang Think Tank
Because Han Sui once had kindness to the Qiang people, he was protected by the Qiang people. In the Qiang tribe, Han Sui and Cheng Gongying ate and slept together. Three years later, Han Sui gathered tens of thousands of soldiers in Qianghu to defeat the enemy, and quickly became the largest prince in Xiliang.
From this, it is enough to see that Cheng Gongying is not only intelligent and far-sighted, but also more rare is his loyalty who is willing to go to life and death with the Lord.
It is recorded in history that Han Sui died soon after he defected to Cao Cao, and Cheng Gongying defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very happy to hear that Cheng Gong was talented and intelligent, so he worshipped Cheng Gongying as a military division and made him a marquis. Cheng Gongying followed Cao Cao to hunt, and three deer passed in front of him. Cao Cao asked Cheng Gongying to shoot deer, and Cheng Gongying made three shots. Cao Cao saw that Cheng Gongying's three arrows were hit and he got something, but he was not happy at all, and he was little interested. With Cao Cao's vicious eyes, how can he not know what Cheng Gongying is thinking?
Cao Cao held the palm of Chenggong Ying and said, "But Han Wenyue can do his best, and he can't be lonely?"
Cheng Gongying got off his horse and knelt down and choked and said, "Don't bully Ming Gong. If the British owner is here, he won't come here.
Cao Cao felt his loyalty and respected him more. Later, at the time of Yankang and Huang Chu, Cheng Gongying assisted Zhang Ji to quell the Longyou rebellion in Liangzhou as a soldier. In the war, he supervised more than a thousand cavalry to challenge. Later, he defeated the rebels and beheaded tens of thousands of lives. This battle was the last glory before Cheng Gongying's death. That's all for the time being about Cheng Gongying.
Under the gate of Didao City, two beautiful men with completely different styles gathered to worship each other. One of them was heroic and beautiful, handsome and sharp. It was Xiliang Jinma Chao. Another person is heroic, gentle as water, handsome with the breath of a wise man. It is Cheng Gongying, who is known as Xiliang's think tank.
"Haha, I have heard that Xiliang's think tank is not only beautiful and handsome, but also has unlimited strategies. As soon as I saw him today, Mr. Cheng was really like a rumor. Meng Qi admired him very much!"
Ma Chaolang laughed loudly and held Cheng Gongying's hand affectionately. Cheng Gongying smiled and immediately replied with a salute.
"In front of the most beautiful man in Xiliang, how can Cheng be worthy of this beautiful man? General Ma's audatoism is overwhelming, which really makes Cheng afraid and respectful!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Cheng used to follow Uncle Han on the battlefield for more than ten years. Uncle Han was in danger of desperate situations several times. It was all thanks to Xiliang's think tank's plan that he was able to turn bad luck into good luck. Mr. Cheng hasn't seen such a scene before. How can he be a little afraid of Ma?
Just as Ma Chao talked about Han Sui, Cheng Gongying's eyes as deep as a deep pool suddenly burst into two strong murderous intentions, but this murderous intention was fleeting, but it was still caught by Ma Chao. Ma Chao suddenly felt happy. It turned out that he thought that after Han Sui's death, Cheng Gongying, who held heavy power, might stand on his own, regardless of Han Sui's great hatred. At present, it seems that this person is still loyal to Han Sui!
Cheng Gongying quickly cleaned up his shocked mind, and Ma Chao took the opportunity to say again.
"Oh, what a pity. If Uncle Han's father is in the battle in the north, Mr. Cheng and other peerless talents will be able to turn the tide. Uncle Han will not lose his life under that extraordinary conspiracy!
Wen Bufan was insidious and cunning, and he launched the next world scam to lure Uncle Han and my father to raise an army to rebel. Uncle Han originally thought that most of Wenfan's troops were concentrated on the border, and they sent famous generals and advisers under his command. The troops in the north and Xinping were empty, and there was no general to guard, which was the time to attack. Unexpectedly, Wen Bufan laid a net of heaven and earth in the north and Xinping, ambush heavily, and there were 100,000 elite soldiers hidden in the land of the two counties. Uncle Han's father died in a plan. Ma's father was quite lucky and was able to escape to the death of Pang Lingming.
Wen Bofan has got Yongzhou. How can he know that this person is not greedy? Ma learned a few days ago that Chen Cang gathered troops to collect grain. Presumably, this Wen Bofan will soon send troops to attack Liangzhou in the name of eliminating the rebels.
Mr. Cheng, Wen Bofan is very wild. Uncle Han said before his death that this man may join hands with Cao Mengde, who is called Han Xiangshi, who is a Han thief, to swallow the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty and divide the world equally. Therefore, Uncle Han and Ma's father would not hesitate to bear the name of anti-thief, attack Xinping and Beidi, and wanted to attack the extraordinary forces out of Yongzhou. It's a pity that things are willing to be man-made. This person is treacherous and treacherous, but he is unfathomable. The 100,000 soldiers of Xiliang are all extinct. At present, this man is sharp and wants to attack Liangzhou. I don't know if Xiliang's think tank has a plan to solve the difficulty of Liangzhou?
Ma Chao's face was solemn and talkative. Cheng Gongying listened quietly, but his face rarely changed. After saying that, Ma Chao looked at Cheng Gongying. Cheng Gongying suddenly smiled, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
"What's the difficulty of solving the difficulties of Liangzhou? It doesn't matter whether it's loyal or treacherous. Cheng heard that in this place under their jurisdiction, they all use farmland to benefit the people's benevolent government, so the people have land to cultivate. In addition, this person has always attached great importance to business, built commercial land, and implemented his own policies to help people do business. Therefore, the people are surplus. General Ma knows that the people of Yongzhou are all happy to welcome him. To be so supported by the people, this person has the style of an emperor. If Liangzhou can give this person's hand, it may be a blessing but not a curse.
Cheng Gongying said, and all the people in the field suddenly changed color. Ma Chao took a deep breath of atmosphere, his eyes were angry, and his whole body trembled fiercely. If Pang De secretly blocked Ma Chao. Ma Chao could hardly stand it. He pressed Cheng Gongying to the ground and tore it into pieces!
Cheng Gongying secretly observed Ma Chao's anger, but it seemed that he still wanted to refuel, step forward a few steps, and pointed to the people in the city.
"If General Ma is not satisfied with what Cheng said, why don't you send a quick ride around the city and listen to what the people in the city are discussing at the moment, and what most people are worried about and happy about what?"
"Cong Gongying, what do you mean!?"
Ma Chao's lion's eyes are condensing and murderous. Cheng Gongying was not afraid and shook his head.
"The people are the foundation of the world. If you are the lord of one party, you should put the people first. Public opinion should not be slight. Why don't General Ma listen to it?
"At present, Liangzhou is in critical condition. How do I have time to pay attention to these chores!?"
Cheng Gongying frowned slightly and sighed in his heart that Ma Chao only knew how to fight and fight on the battlefield. He was by no means a man of the Ming Lord. If Ma Teng hands over his power to Ma Chao in the future, I'm afraid that in less than five years, Liangzhou will rebel and soon die in chaos.
"General Ma wants to know what I mean, but according to me, just try it."
After saying that, Cheng Gongying turned around and Ma Chao didn't follow his words, so he turned around and left. To fight against Wen Han, we must have 80,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Cheng Gongying. Ma Chao is well versed in this point and desperately suppresses fire-resistant gas.
"There are many false words of others, and there is no need for soldiers. I will explore them in person. Would Mr. Cheng like to do something with Ma?
Cheng Gongying slowly turned around, bent down and bowed, showing a satisfactory smile.
"General Ma's invitation, how dare Cheng Mou refuse? Naturally, it's good."
After a while, Ma Chao was about to start exploring, but Cheng Gongying asked Ma Chao to abandon the horse for hiking, and Ma Chao obeyed. The two walked side by side, walking on Didao Street, and every gossip came into their ears. Cheng Gongying walked, but Ma Chao walked in a hurry. Just after the two restaurants, Ma Chao's face turned a little dark.
After that, the two of them left again. After passing through a store selling grain and clothes, Ma Chao's face turned darker and walked faster. Cheng Gongying was still not in a hurry and slowly followed.
Half an hour later, the two walked to the private house in the city. They walked from the beginning to the end and walked around twice. When the two walked out, Ma Chao's face was so dark that it was about to drip out of water, and his face was cold. The two left again and passed a post station. Ma Chao listened to a few words and almost couldn't stand it. He wanted to go inside and make trouble. Fortunately, Cheng Gongying stopped in time, and Ma Chao stopped his anger. The two walked all the way, and Ma Chao didn't want to listen until under the gate.
Pang De saw that Ma Chao came back angrily, and he didn't say a word when he came back. But Cheng Gongying smiled and stood calmly behind Ma Chao.
Just now, when the two were passing by two restaurants, the restaurant guests talked more about Wen Han's gathering in Liangzhou, and the guests talked about who would win or lose. And most of these Xiliang people said that the general Wen Han would win the final victory. If there are any reason, most of them are different, and it is difficult to describe them for a while. But from the words of these wine guests, it seems that they quite hope that Wen Han will become the lord of Liangzhou. As for the reasons, most of them are consistent. That's because these drinkers are extremely longing for Liangzhou to become a paradise on earth like Hedong and Bingzhou, where prices are low, taxes are extremely low, and the people have land to cultivate. Most of the people have begun to do business with the help of the government's policies, and their income increases year by year. In these troubled times, there is such a paradise on earth. May I ask who will not yearn for it?
When the two passed by the grain and clothing merchant, they heard the guests complain that the price was too high and it was difficult to maintain their livelihood. Some bold guests even complained about Ma Teng's continuous wars. There were more than one war, and the prices were still high. In order to recruit soldiers and horses, Ma Teng increased taxes every year, so that the people could not make a living.
After that, the two passed by the private house. When they passed by, they saw that most of the people in each room were hungry, and even some people were homeless. Ma Chao met more than a dozen groups of people begging in a row.
When the last two passed the post station, many merchants who rushed back from Yongzhou talked about the prosperity of Beidi and Xinping in Wenhan in recent years. Several men were extremely envious. One man said that if the literary champion really raised his troops here, he would gather a few friends and take the opportunity to open the gate of the city to welcome the army of the literary champion to enter the city. Hearing this rebellious word, Ma Chao's murderous intention increased greatly. If it hadn't been for Cheng Gongying's death, Ma Chao would have killed people on the spot.
Ma Chao walked so frightened that he knew that there were so many ills in Di Daocheng.
"General Ma, after going all the way, do you still think that as long as you join hands with me, we can resist the soldiers and horses of this champion!?"
Cheng Gongying quietly waited for about half a column of incense. In this half a column of incense, Ma Chao's fire was much clear, and at the same time, a feeling of weakness spread all over his body.
If possible, wouldn't his father, Ma Teng, not want to follow the example of the extraordinary and benevolent government to benefit the people? But Ma Teng doesn't have this ability at all, capital!
If the first Tuntian is to be implemented, it will inevitably offend the rich people in Liangzhou. Unlike Wenhan, Ma Teng has a leading foundation. If he wants to follow suit, he will definitely hinder Lianlian. Because Wenhan was the first to implement in Hedong, there was a successful case. When it was implemented in Bingzhou, Wenhan slightly gave some benefits to the rich people, and there was support from the people. At that time, there were many wars in Bingzhou, and the family of the rich family in Bingzhou was almost lost seven or eight, and they were unable to resist at all. In addition, for these reasons, the rich families of Bingzhou have no resistance or disturbance to the implementation of Tuntian.
After that, when it was implemented in the north of Yongzhou and Xinping, because of the Zhang family behind Zhang Xiu, the help of the rich family in Yongzhou, coupled with the situation of Yongzhou and Bingzhou, was almost the same. After a series of wars, the bottom loss of the rich family was seven or eight, and Wenhan's power was so great that he dared not resist. Therefore, Beidi and Xinping can also be implemented smoothly.
Second, Ma Teng is not like Wen Han, who has many capital chains that can accumulate wealth. The gambling house and wine industry under the jurisdiction of Wenhan can be said to be gold every day. After that, Wen Han was involved in other businesses, such as blacksmiths, silk and satin, restaurants, etc. Wen Han was rich, and these businesses soon became the leader in cities and counties.
The most frightening thing is that Wen Han has implemented farmland in many places, and the huge amount of grain he has gathered is simply unimaginable. In troubled times, food is more valuable than gold.
Wen Han has a deep foundation, and he can capitalize decay into magic and turn cities into paradise on earth.
Compared with Wen Han, the richest man in the world, Ma Teng can be said to be poor. Every time he raises troops and fights, he has to prepare for war. He tries his best to borrow food from rich families in various places, and then draws some from the people to be prepared.
Ma Chao thought a lot in an instant, and suddenly he stared at Cheng Gongying.
"Is Mr. Cheng's move to persuade him to surrender, or to explain the stakes?"
"The forefather died under the extraordinary treachery, and we waited for 80,000 Xiliang soldiers to have an feud with him! Eighty thousand Xiliang soldiers would rather die than surrender. General Ma, what I just did was all to explain the shortcomings of our current power. If you and I ignore it, there will be a big disaster in the future!"
It is not only Di Dao who has such a situation, but also the place under the jurisdiction of Cheng Gongying. Perhaps it can be said that most of the people in Liangzhou hope that Wen Han can become the lord of Liangzhou.
