Chapter 197 Jiang Wei's Father
"Young Master, my subordinates have found out that Longxi County is indeed diverting water from a tributary of the Wei River..." Xiao Tian reported, but before he finished speaking, Ma Chao interrupted him and asked, "Is there someone stationed there?"

"No one." Xiao Tian replied.

"Very good, call the old fox, the little fox, and Yang Fu, let's go and have a look together."

"promise!"

Not long after, five people brought Ma Chao's 500 guards to the upper reaches of the Weihe River. They saw that the water here was very high and the flow was fast. Longxi County artificially built a dam. The county, on the other hand, is used for irrigation.

Ma Chao walked around the embankment carefully, and saw that the embankment was built with stones mixed with soil, one layer was used to block the flow of the Wei River, and the other layer was used to divert irrigation.If Longxi County is to be flooded, the first level of the entrance must be blocked and the second dam must be destroyed.As a result, the water of the Weihe River naturally lost control and flooded the entire county of Longxi.

Ma Chao estimated the amount of the project. If he sent 3000 troops, it would take four to five days to finish it. Adding in the construction of the raft, it would take about a week.Although part of the self-army's food and grass was burned, there were quite a lot of food and grass brought here this time, not to mention a week, even a month, and it could last.

But if he really used this strategy cruelly, then the year's harvest of this fertile land in Longxi would be in vain.Moreover, after the occupation of Longxi County, the restoration project also required a lot of manpower and material resources.In this way, some gains outweigh the losses.

"Young master, the governor of Longxi County is really a great talent, and he has done such a serious and promising plan for the people's livelihood..." Jia Xu muttered, not knowing what he was reminding Ma Chao.

"Young master, I'm too optimistic. With such a water situation, if the embankment really breaks, the entire Longxi County will become a land of water. What you do will hurt the natural harmony..." Yang Fu was more direct, and said what was in his heart .

"Young master, although I am a little arrogant, I also feel that water and fire are ruthless. Once this hole is dug, it will be difficult to close it. Especially, if this gap can be closed, it will not be easy to close the gap." ..." Fazheng finally spoke, his brows tightly furrowed.

Ma Chao sighed: I am an entrepreneur, not a destroyer.Not only to conquer counties and counties, but also to conquer the hearts of the people.This plan of flooding Longxi would indeed allow him to capture Longxi in a short period of time, but after the capture, the hearts of the people will be broken and the people will turn their backs. What is the use of defeating the counties like this?

I am Ma Chao, not Cao Cao.Cao Cao's generation of traitors can slaughter Xuzhou, or flood Xiapi.But in addition to being the world-renowned Jin Machao, he is also a time traveler from an era that emphasizes equality for everyone.Although in that era, "everyone is equal" was just a fig leaf that could not be faked anymore, but if you want to let yourself really tear off this layer of moral conscience, I really can't do it.

After sighing leisurely, Ma Chao said: "Go back. Flooding a county in Longxi is a great move, but it will cause endless troubles. It is not a gentleman's action..."

"The young master is wise." Jia Xu, Fazheng, and Yang Fu all bowed their hands, and sincerely thanked Ma Chao for his kind words.

On the way back, Ma Chao was in a depressed mood. Seeing Xiao Tian beside him, he asked, "Did you find out the name of the governor of Longxi County?"

"Return to the young master, I have already inquired. This person's surname is Jiang and his name is Jiong. He is a descendant of a large noble family in Liangzhou. He is from Ji County, Tianshui.

"Oh, why did I forget this Ying..." Ma Chao hadn't answered, but Yang Fu was surprised first, patted his head and said, "Young master, someone knows this person, he is a famous talent in the Jiang family. In Tianshui, there is a In the saying of "Three Heroes of Ying", the three heroes refer to his subordinates, Yin Feng, and Zhao Ang, and Yiying refers to Jiang Jiong. This man is a great talent, a well-known scholar, who is many times stronger than his subordinates, like the sky in the sky Clouds, not contaminated with worldly spirits. But they don’t want to be the prefect of a county, but they can do so impressively, and they deserve it! It’s just...

"Just what?" Ma Chao wondered, how could there be such a person in this history?

"It's just that this person has always been bad at government affairs, why is he now the governor of Longxi County?" Yang Fu replied, and then suggested: "If the governor of Longxi County is really Jiang Jiong, I would like to be a lobbyist for a while. Let's see if we can persuade Jiang Jiong to return to his heart."

"Well, from what you said, I'm afraid Jiang Jiong wouldn't be beheaded. But even so, I didn't dare to let Yang Biejia go into danger alone, so I sent Brother Chou and Biejia together, Go and meet that Jiang Jiong."

"Good." Yang Fu nodded, already thinking about his speech.

But Ma Chao was going back and forth in his mind, making the brain cells dizzy: There are many outstanding people in Liangzhou, except for Jia Xu and Yang Fu, I really haven't heard of any "Yiying" Three Jays'.Yin Feng, Zhao Ang and Ma Chao have also seen it, and they are not far behind Yang Fu. If it weren't for their family background, they wouldn't be able to win the title of "Three Heroes".

But Yang Fu himself was full of praise for Jiang Jiong from the bottom of his heart, which shows that Jiang Jiong really has real skills.But this matter should be similar to that of Yang Fu. If it is several times better than Yang Fu, it is the self-effacing saying of the ancients.Ma Chao couldn't believe that there was such a Zhuge Wolong in Liangzhou, a place with fierce folk customs...

The distribution of talents in ancient times was very regular.Generally speaking, where there are many gentry and the style of writing prevails, it is easy to produce talents.Places like Sili, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jingzhou, because the style of writing prevails and there are many academies, can produce so many outstanding talents at a time.The most famous Yingchuan College has produced first-class talents such as Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and so on.However, places like Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, where swordsmen were in chaos, were more likely to produce military generals. Super-class generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun all came from these places.

Generally speaking, where there is chaos, there will be strong fighters; where there is peace, there will be good students who study at ease.This is the distribution of talents determined by ancient regions. Although there are special cases, they basically follow this rule.

And this Jiang Jiong is obviously a master of both civil and military skills.This kind of person is extremely difficult to appear in a place where the folk customs are fierce.And once it appears, it will be famous and go down in history.But now, Ma Chao plucked out another hair: he still can't think of where Jiang Jiong is recorded in history...

"By the way, young master, when I go to Longxi, I have to bring a generous gift." Yang Fu said with a smile, as if he thought that Ma Chao would definitely agree: "I have a good personal relationship with that Jiang Ji. I received his letter and learned that he had a unicorn named Wei. I will go this time and bring the young master's congratulations with me."

"It's so good, sir and Jiang Jiong are really gentlemen's friendship..." Ma Chao sighed absently: Yang Fu and Jiang Jiong are really close personal friends, they don't even know what the other is doing?
In fact, this is also a way of communication between ancient literati, unlike our modern people, who ask when they meet, 'Where do you get rich now? ', most of the ancient people did not use their positions and status, but only talked about learning and the way of governing the world.This strength of character can be regarded as a lesson for modern people.

However, after a moment, Ma Chao's whole body trembled: Jiang Wei's son, Jiang Wei?

"Brother ugly, is it difficult for you to kidnap a baby?"

And the ugly brother who was still in the barracks sneezed for some reason, looked at that day and said strangely: "It doesn't mean it's going to rain. Could it be that the young master misses me?"
