Chapter 596 Li Ru's Poison Plan
Ma Chao will be very happy if there are a few things that can make those guys who are a little smart but always have upturned their tails. But today is different. Next year's three consecutive strikes, like three mountains, pressed on Ma Chao's heart, so that he was not in the mood to watch the jokes of the three people at all.
Fortunately, those who can leave a name in history are not all those who have left only arrogant reputation. When Ma Chao was frustrated, he saw a person coming out of the court. The internal affairs Cadre in Ma Chao's impression was Li Ru, a guy who had a lot of historical criticism.
After pondering slightly, Li Ru said slowly, "Master, the master of the humble position, although he is a scheming of the army, he thought carefully and found that the solution to this famine and natural disaster can be between easy and not easy..."
"Oh? How can I say this?!" Ma Chao was stunned and looked around, and the civil servants in the hall were also puzzled.
"The inferior position means that it is not difficult to overcome next year's difficulties, but it will be difficult in the future!" Li Ru arched his hand and said, "Although I don't know how the tax revenue is in Yongzhou this year, there must be a lot of surplus. The reason for this dilemma is that if they don't care about the disaster victims, they will definitely rise up. And if it is to help them, the whole Ma family may also accompany them to starve to death. Some parties think carefully that if they want to get through this, there may only be one way..."
Speaking of which, it turned out that I was worried about the downfall of the Ma family. Ma Chao shook his head tiredly. He didn't estimate the consequences. According to the conservative estimate of the bottom line, Ma Chao and a group of internal affairs majors believe that the Ma family needs at least two to three years of rest. And if this is really the case, the Kanto side may have changed dramatically at that time, and the historical advantage he knows will all be occupied by Liu Xie!
However, when he heard that Li Ru had another way to solve it, Ma Chao was still very hopeful and couldn't help asking, "What's the solution? As long as Ma Chao can overcome this difficulty smoothly, Wenyou is the greatest hero of the Ma family!"
However, after hearing the words, Li Ru did not have a happy expression, but carefully said to Ma Chao in advance: "The law of humble position may not be the will of the Lord. If there is anything radical, I hope the lord will not be blamed.
"But it doesn't matter..." Hearing Li Ru say this, Ma Chao actually had no expectations in his heart. But when he was rushed to the hospital, he couldn't help but respond like this.
"I think that the Ma family can recruit the young and strong, dismiss the old and the weak, form a large army, send troops to Luoyang, and then drive into Kandong..." When Li Ru said this plan, his eyes couldn't help but flash a cold light, which made people think of him in an instant, but he poisoned the former emperor and destroyed the old capital Luoyang in just a few words.
After listening to this strategy, Ma Chao also couldn't laugh or cry. He never thought that Li Ru could come up with such a strategy that hurt others and himself. He thought that he was cruel enough, but he really didn't expect that Li Ru, a weak guy, regarded human life more like grass than himself...
"The lord doesn't know something, has a humble background, and knows the nature of those disaster victims best. Those disaster victims did not have a trace of humanity in the face of hunger, nor did they form a group to help each other. They either rely on clans or regions to live in groups, and they have never shared the same voice, and even hate each other because of the lack of food. Kill other disaster victims, such as slaughtering animals..." Speaking of this, Li Ru suddenly felt that he might be a little too nostalgic and deviated from the theme. He hurriedly changed his words and said, "Therefore, the meaning of humble position can be divided and ruled by some people, using grain and grass as bait to absorb the young..."
"Wenyou cautiously!" Before Ma Chao opened his mouth, Yang Fu couldn't help standing up and said in a heavier tone, "The slaughter of the people must be pointed out by thousands of people. Before the critical moment of life and death, this matter should not be mentioned! ... If the swords are opened, what will tens of millions of people think of our Ma family in the future? As far as the history books of Danqing are, where will the Ma family and other people be..."
Yang Fu's words are actually quite polite. Cai Yong seemed to be a little slow, but he looked angry and wanted to curse. However, before he got up, he saw Ma Chao's cold eyes and asked, "Do you have a good idea?" If you just deny Wenyou's words, you don't need to say more..."
Cai Yong was stunned and then sat back in his original position. Ma Chao now seems to have seen through Cai Yong, Peng Xi, Liao Li and Yang Xiu. As soon as they open their mouth, they often beat down their pride, making them helpless and more self-aknowledge in front of Ma Chao.
However, Ma Chao did not care about Yang Fu and Li Ru. Cai Yong also knew that these two people were different from himself. In their disputes, they used the most practical interests to plan the development of the Ma family. As soon as he opened his mouth, I'm afraid it's just etiquette and morality. Ma Chao can't listen to it at all and will sneer at those things...
"At present, it is the critical moment of life and death!!" Li Ru rudely interrupted Yang Fu's words, looked at Yang Fu without hesitation, and said, "If a disaster arises, it is conservatively estimated that 1.5 million disaster victims will suddenly appear in the Sili area. Among them, there are about five or 600,000 young and strong people. If the Ma family insists on being those good families, they will definitely be dragged to death by the disaster victims! According to the humble position, he took the young and strong as an army, issued a few days of rations, drove it to the front, rushed to attack the east of Guandong before the heavy snow, and gave food to the enemy. In this way, one is to expand the territory of our Ma family, and the other is to cause disaster to the east..."
"This is a must!" Shocked, Yang Fu couldn't wait to jump up and kneel to the ground. After bowing to Ma Chao, he turned his head and looked at Li Ru angrily and scolded, "Wenyou is dizzy. This is the strategy to destroy my Ma family!! What's the difference between the Ma family and the thief? When the hearts of the people are lost, the people in the world rise up and attack it. We can't get it even if we want to bury ourselves in a hill!!"
Li Ru was also provoked by anger by Yang Fu and arched his hand to Ma Chao first. However, when he wanted to refute Yang Fu, he saw that Ma Chao waved his hand and stopped his fierce argument with Yang Fu. He said, "What Wen You said is a strategy that the Ma family had to choose at a time of extreme poverty. Although the sword is biased, it is inevitable. It's also a way..."
When Yang Fu heard Ma Chao say this, he looked indignant and wanted to kowtow and sob blood to persuade him. And the ministers of Your Highness are also moved. However, Ma Chao also waved his hand to Yang Fu and continued, "However, the Ma family has not yet reached the end of the mountains and rivers. Although this plan can make great benefits in the short term, it can solve the problems of the Ma family in one fell swoop. However, on the basis of the Ma family at this time, it is impossible to fight against the whole Han princes and the hearts of the world with Chang'an and Yongzhou.
Ma Chao understands Li Ru's approach. His intention is to organize a large army of death squads, like the Yellow Turban Army to fight like locusts. Every time he kills a place, he grabs everything that can be robbed, destroys everything that can be destroyed, turns the landlord into corpses, the rich peasants and middle peasants into the poor, and the poor into the Ma family's soldiers. However, such an anti-civilized and *-style way of war can indeed achieve the short-term benefits of the military group at the beginning, but it is absolutely uncontrollable in the later stage - when the army does not fight for political purposes, but purely for * purposes, the war loses any meaning.
And history has already proved this. Zhang Jiao succeeded and failed as a result - when countless peasants who could not bear the oppression of the decadent Han Dynasty rose up, the land of the thirteen states rose. However, in the later period of the yellow scarf, Zhang Jiao couldn't control the killing army at all. The slogan of acting for heaven has also become the act of doing evil for heaven. Therefore, in the later period, the Yellow Turban Army was immediately resisted by all classes except the poor peasants. Therefore, the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising was finally defeated by the decadent Han Dynasty.
The anti-civilized and * war mode is unacceptable to any rational person. People are human because they still have beauty and conscience in their hearts. If even these are abandoned, what's the difference between humans and animals?
Ma Chao doesn't want to be a beast, so although he admits that Li Ru's plan is also a trick, it is to guide the whole meeting and lead to a solution. In my heart, I will not accept Li Ru's suggestion in any case.
