Chapter 929

After a night of careful research, Zhongshu Sheng came up with their usual high-efficiency style, and determined the plan for going south to Hanzhong: Ma Chao personally took charge of the army, and led the six generals Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Gao Shun, Huang Yuan, Li Yan, and Huang Zhong , [-] Majia elite troops conquered Hanzhong.

After the court made a decision, everything was quietly and tensely deployed. Orders were quickly spread among the army, papers of official documents were quickly passed between state capitals, and teams of soldiers came from different places to Hanzhong. assemble.

In addition to these military affairs in Chang'an, Ma Chao also specially transferred Han Mengling, who was still receiving shadow training, into the army for this expedition.This led to a ridiculous result, that is, Duanmu Muming, the chef of the Longmen Inn, joined Ma Chao's team leader with an iron pan and shovel.

On February [-]th, Ma's army bypassed the west of the Qinling Mountains, and the troops left Sanguan.After marching for another two days, they can join the army of Gan Ning and Zang Ba who are stationed in Tianshui.For this expedition, Ma Chao hardly brought much logistical supplies, and everything was replenished on the spot by Tianshui County after arriving in Tianshui County.

This is the benefit of Ma Chao's reform of the entire Ma family's regime: Make a decision. Before Ma Chaoren arrived, the counties and prefectures along the way had already received supply tasks from Shangshu Province. After confirmation by the Ministry of War, they were handed over to Accounting Department.In this way, it is no longer the separatist state of the Han Dynasty where the prefects and herdsmen did not belong to each other, which strengthened the ruling foundation of the Ma family and improved administrative efficiency.

Of course, these also need to have a sufficient economic foundation to guarantee. For example, if Tianshui County is extremely poor, no matter how good the system is, there is no root for it to be implemented.Fortunately, after Ma Chao took charge of the Ma family, he implemented new policies and supported businesses, so that wealth was stored in the people and the government, making the entire Ma family run like water and unimpeded.

Therefore, tonight, Ma Chao's army will rest overnight in Tianshui County no matter what, to replenish the logistics and recharge their batteries.At the same time, the Sheriff's Hall in Tianshui County also became a temporary meeting hall for Ma Chao to discuss the battle.

Every time he went out, Ma Chao would accompany the army with advisers from Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of War.This time, Ma Chao brought four counselors, Guo Jia, Fazheng, Li Ru, and Yang Xiu. What's more interesting, he also specially recruited Sima Yi.

At the beginning of the day, everyone took a rest and came to the meeting hall. Civil servants and military generals, regardless of each other, gathered around the sand table simulation map to discuss the specific military plan for this battle.

"My lord, the lord of Tianshui County has been operating for many years, and has gained a lot. The supplies can be used by the army for three months. If there is still not enough, I can contact the two counties of Longxi and Guangwei to send supplies to help." The first person who spoke , Naturally, it is Yin Feng, the governor of Tianshui County.After reporting on the supply situation of the troops, he said so.

"It's enough for March." Ma Chao seemed to be in a good mood. After praising Yin Feng for his timely response to the wall and clearing the country, he continued: "Although fighting is about logistics, we are here this time to win It is people's hearts, and it is impossible to live by burning, killing, looting. But under the circumstances of absolute superiority, if Hanzhong is not captured within three months, the Ma family army will simply retreat."

"What your lord said is very true. We have a strong army in this battle. Although we can win with a strong attack, it will inevitably lose the foundation of the Ma family. And once we lose the hearts of the people in Hanzhong, I am afraid that the army will stop under the strong city and go deep into the people. This quagmire is contrary to the goal of quick victory." Guo Jia seemed to be pointing, but his attention did not seem to be on the map, and he continued with two purposes: "So, after the invasion of Hanzhong this time, if there is a logistics If there is a shortage, it needs to be replenished as soon as possible in the local area, and if it cannot be replenished, it cannot be robbed. In addition, it is necessary to publicize the list to calm the people, open warehouses to distribute grain, and win the hearts of the people. Only by doing this two-pronged approach can Hanzhong be able to look forward to the fall.”

"In terms of military strategy, I believe that this time we should focus on attacking the heart, fighting in the field, and surrendering. We would rather advance slowly than forcefully attack the people." After Guo Jia finished speaking, Li Ru changed the topic Referring to the military plan, he analyzed: "Therefore, the main point of this expedition is to fight in the field! If we can defeat Zhang Lu's main force in one battle, then Hanzhong can go down with the wind!"

Speaking of this, Li Ru's wrinkles stretched and undulated several times, like a venomous snake wriggling in shedding skin: "It's just that this time, it seems that Zhang Lu has an expert behind him..."

Hearing Li Ru's conclusion, Ma Chao nodded involuntarily: As soon as the news of the Ma family's army's expedition came out, Zhang Lu's army, which had been in a stalemate with Gan Ning and Zang Ba, withdrew every day, and kept reducing the number of stoves to lure the enemy.Gan Ning and Zang Ba didn't know the details, so they didn't dare to rush after them.As a result, when Ma Chao entered Tianshui, the army gathered at the border of Tianshui was completely withdrawn, which was the essence of the "enemy is strong, we retreat" in the book of war, leaving the entire Ma family army aside.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Since the scouts in the army can't figure out the situation, I think the shadow of the Ma family can be dispatched, right?" Sima Yi didn't care whether he should speak or not, and said directly.After that, he stroked his back and stared at Ma Chao.

"It seems that you are very curious about the shadow of the Ma family." Ma Chao also had the same thought in his heart, but he wanted to directly order Huang Yuan to do it after the meeting, but when Sima Yi said it, he couldn't help but turn around. Huang Yuan said: "Brother Chou, you are clear about the situation of Shadow in Hanzhong, right? I don't need to say more about what to do next."

"The final general understands, find out Zhang Lu's main force, and fight to the death!" Huang Yuan was never ambiguous about major matters, let alone being stupid.After saying this, he took his leave and left, presumably he went to contact Shadow immediately.

"Very well, I'd better rest for the night today and continue marching tomorrow at Chenshi. After the two generals Gan Ning and Zang Ba meet up, we will discuss again." With a wave of his hand, Ma Chao ordered everyone to retreat.You Qi even smiled at Sima Yi, not knowing what tricks he was playing with Sima Yi.

However, when Sima Yi left, he lowered his head and whispered: "Childish!"

Naturally, these words could not be concealed from Ma Chao's sensitive ears, which made him, who had already started to cross his legs and sipped hot tea, suddenly dumbfounded: My brother is more than 30 years old in two lifetimes, and he was despised by a boy?
However, this embarrassment left a ripple in Ma Chao's heart.After Han Mengling arrived, his face returned to calm as before, and he even smiled amicably, and said, "Miss Han, I just found out today that your Han family is actually a side branch of the Han family in Jincheng. The news made me more and more interested in Miss Han."

"Since you already know this and know that I sneaked into the Ma family on purpose, why did you train me to be a shadow?" Han Mengling stepped forward, put on a stern expression, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll kill you secretly ?”

"Kill me?" Ma Chao pointed at himself with a backhand, quite disapprovingly: "If you were in the shadow of the Ma family, and you had thoroughly learned the martial arts of Wang Yue, Tong Yuan, and Shi A, plus all the courses such as poisoning and design, I'm really afraid of you. But..."

Having said this, Ma Chao reached into his pocket and took out a letter.With a flick of his wrist, the letter flew steadily and steadily towards Han Mengling's chest, revealing his superb skills.

Han Mengling took it with both hands, spread out the letter paper, and couldn't help being dumbfounded: "Have the Han family surrendered to your Ma family?"

"That's natural, otherwise, why do you think I've kept you alive?" Ma Chao smiled. It seems that he likes the startled look of beautiful women: her beautiful face suddenly changes, her almond eyes are round, especially her small mouth is slightly opened , but it has a special flavor.

"Then you called me here tonight?" Han Mengling checked the letter again, and after confirming that it was correct, he calmed down and asked Ma Chao.

"Of course it's because the army is poor and sleepless all night. If you look at the past, it's full of old men... If you want to, you can dance me a song to relieve my loneliness."

"Go to hell!"
