Chapter 632 Prepare for a rainy day

One horse arrived in Chang'an. Three days ago, it was reported that Si Li's place had a disaster almost at the same time. Locusts swarmed up from the waterfront, the old river, and the barren beach of the reed land, and unexpectedly flocked. Everywhere, there is no grass. The earliest report was Tongguan, followed by emergency reports from other counties.

On the sand table simulation map, Tongguan, Jingyang, Gaoling, Weinan to Hanguguan, Hongnong, and then to Mianchi, the whole pass was full of yellow disaster flags. All the Wenwu of the Ma family looked at the dense small flags, and their faces were extremely gloomy.

The last blow of the three consecutive strikes of the natural disaster was too fierce, far beyond Ma Chao's psychological defense line. Although the Ma family reacted at the beginning, he did not expect that he, who was invincible on the battlefield, could do his best in the face of natural disasters and could not compete at all.

One incident in the report also deeply shocked Ma Chao: Hu Zhong, the guard of Hongnong County, issued a burning order in order not to spread to other counties, so that the crops and locusts of the whole county died together, and then he threw himself into the fire, and the world was shocked.

Ma Chao recalled all the characters of the Three Kingdoms in his mind and had no impression of him at all. But what he did this time hit Ma Chao's heart more directly than those capable officials and ministers who have left a history. First, it shocked the righteousness of the Ma family, and second, it made Ma Chao finally realize that many unknown figures in history are not because of their lack of talent or virtue. Sometimes what they lack is just an opportunity.

"When the Ma family is drifting away, the deceased is gone, and mourning is useless. If you don't put the ambition of Linghu County in your heart, it will be fragrant for thousands of years. Ma Chao said sadly. He was very ashamed. At this time, the Ma family did not have the ability to give Ling Huzhong a grand burial.

"No!" Wen Wu listened to Ma Chao's order and sighed inexplicably. Except for Ying Nuo, I shouldn't have said anything for a while.

"Does Linghu have a wife and children?" Ma Chao asked again and turned his eyes to Huangfu Li.

"There is only one son, named Shao." Emperor Fu Li of the official department was fully responsible for the affairs of the officials. After listening to Ma Chao's inquiry, he came forward and reported.

"Ringhu Shao?" Ma Chao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words: He knew this Linghu Shao. Interestingly, Linghu Shao, who has held an official position in history, is also the county guard of Hongnong.

Linghu Shao, courtesy name Kong Shu, a native of Taiyuan, was the governor of Hongnong of the State of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. At the beginning of Jian'an, Shao Juye. After Cao broke through Yecheng, he stationed Shao to plan for the army. Later, he migrated to the prime minister's book and became the governor of Hongnong. When Shao was the governor, he was as clear as ice and snow, and he was wholehearted for the people. He taught kindness and treated people for forgiveness. It was not easy to file a prison lawsuit and no taboo. The Hongnong was treated with a clean and prosperous atmosphere.

Not only that, Linghu Shao also attaches great importance to academic inheritance. In view of the fact that the Hongnong people were not familiar with the history due to years of military disasters. Linghu Shao is deeply afraid of the loss of etiquette and the loss of civilization. He encouraged his subordinates to go out to study and return to his hometown to open a school to revitalise education, which made Hongnong's learning flourish. His vision is so far-reaching and admirable.

Recalling Linghu Shao's life, Ma Chao couldn't help raising a complex smile at the corners of his mouth and sighing: With such a family tradition, it is no wonder that Linghu Shao can remain famous in history in the future.

"Yan Shao entered the Ma family and treated him like Xiu'er and Tie'er." Ma Chao opened his mouth and said in his grief and memory, "Cao can't give Linghu County a grand funeral, but he will never let the descendants of the martyrs suffer from chaos and bullying again!"

This time, Ma Chao is not involved in the idea of buying people's hearts and fishing for fame. After listening to Ma Chao's treatment, his subordinates felt empathy and couldn't help saying in unison, "Lord, benevolent, I am deeply impressed."

"Don't say these useless lies." Ma Chao waved his hand, and the conditioning of acupuncture soup for a few days was effective. But his root cause is on the disaster victims. Now after saying a word, he feels cold all over, and his body can't help shaking a little. But he still tried to straighten himself and said in a peaceful tone, "Let's take a look, what can we do now?"

"The lord has already had a plan in his heart, so why spend more time?" Jia Fox had already learned that Ma Chao was seriously ill. At this time, looking at Ma Chao's look, he wanted to cut the mess quickly, but Si Li's matter as soon as possible.

"Isn't it?....... Do you really have to wait for that?" Xun You came forward, and he knew what Jia Xu meant. But then looking at the Yellow Sea on the simulation of the sand table, he couldn't help sighing and said, "Together with the knife soldiers, the Ma family will have no way out. If this battle cannot be fought quickly, I'm afraid that the Ma family will never turn over again!"

"Now, Yuan Shu has sent General Liu Xiang to lead 30,000 pioneers to station in Kuangting and force Zhencheng." Li Ru came up, picked up a small flag with the word 'Yuan' written on the ground, and then took out a small flag with the word 'Cao' written on it, and continued: "And Cao Cao also led 100,000 troops to enter Zhencheng, denounced Yuan Shu's incompetence and Xudu. The two armies have become water and fire, and they are on the verge of breaking out.

"Cao Gong used soldiers like gods. Liu Xiang knew that he was not the enemy, so he did not move. However, that's why they will lose even more!" Guo Jia came forward and pulled out Kuangting's 'Yuan' flag without any rudeness.

"Why is Feng Xiaoyuan so sure that Liu Xiang will definitely lose?" In terms of military strategy, Yang Fu is still slightly inferior to these masters of becoming sanctified. Seeing Guo Jia so freely, he couldn't help asking.

And this question is actually what Ma Chao really wants to ask. According to history, Ma Chao only knew about Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's war. Yuan Shu was defeated and was beaten out by Cao Cao. From June to the end of winter, Yuan Shu retreated 600 miles and rushed directly from Yuzhou to Yangzhou. But he knows nothing about the specific process.

However, Ma Chao has experienced too much in such situations. Anyway, after seeing a sudden look on his face, he couldn't help laughing in his heart and said, "I feel cold and hot inside. It's not appropriate to open more, so I'll explain it by filial piety."

As soon as Fa Zheng figured out Guo Jia's basis, he saw Ma Chao's unpredictable eyes. In addition to admiring Ma Chao, how can you see Ma Chao's small calculation? Therefore, he quickly came up and pointed to the map of the sand table and said, "Please look, Liu Xiangtunbing Kuangting. According to Yuan Shu's camp, there is only one day's trip to seal the hill, which seems to be safe. However, when Cao's army arrived at Kuangting, he only needed to cross the Pushui River; but Yuan's army needed to cross the Jushui, Bianshui, Nanji River and Beiji River to reach it. You must be clear about the time it took to cross the water. Therefore, in fact, it will take less time for Cao Jun to arrive.

Speaking of this, how could Ma Chao not see the key points in it? He couldn't help saying: "Cao Cao's military thinking is extremely relaxed. It's impossible for him to see such a clear time difference. Liu Xiang found his own way to die. No wonder others.

The highest level of lies is seven points of truth and three points of falsehood. And this is also the reason why Ma Chao has always made his subordinates mistakenly think that he is holding everything. When everyone heard Ma Chao's last sentence and broke the key, how could they not admire Ma Chao's foresight and hit the nail on the head?

And Fazheng can only thank Ma Chao for giving him the opportunity to speak freely. There is no doubt that Ma Chao listened to his analysis and saw everything.

However, after saying this, Yang Fu still frowned and said thoughtfully, "The meaning of humble position is not all Cao Yuan's victory and defeat, but wants to know why the lord chose to take chestnuts from the fire and move the disaster victims to Hangu Pass to wade through this muddy water?"

Ma Chao heard the words and didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, in the eager eyes of everyone, he slowly said, "Because in addition to finding a way to live for these victims, I must stop Cao Cao's hand from reaching too much to Yuzhou!! Cao Mengde's heroes today, if they are not contained as soon as possible, they will be the enemy of the Ma family in the future!!!"
