Jin Ma Chao's son is indeed likable, tiger-headed, sitting there from time to time slightly turning his head and squinting his eyes to look at the tigers in the tiger pen, that is, nervous and expectant.

I haven't seen it for more than half a year, Ma Chao's taste in clothing is a little higher, no longer the bright purple when he was named a duke, but a fine cloth hook, only with dark purple decoration on the shoulder sleeves and collar, and a purple sun surrounded by burning flames embroidered on the back.

Ma Chao sat on one side, holding a plain silk folding fan in his right hand, telling about the changes in the situation in Jiangxia.

Jiangxia guard general Ding Feng has decided to raise righteousness, and the issue of Ding Feng's treatment has been disputed and has been indecided.

Now in the Han army, in addition to the Liu family, San Ke and Ma Chao, the only ones who have private troops are Li Yan and Xiahoulan.

Other people's tribes were either exchanged for food or disintegrated.

As far as Ding Feng's affairs are concerned, Ma Chao said with twists and turns, a little bit of standing and talking without backache, full of cool words: "At first, the army will be sent, and Ding Feng is willing to follow the example of the Marquis of Thorn Yang." What a credit to the Marquis of Thorn Yang? How can a city in Jiangxia compare to the weight of the boat and boat offered by the Marquis of Jianyang? ”

At that time, Xu Zuo's rebellion greatly alleviated the urgent shortage of ordnance and grain for the Jingzhou army; Indirectly, the number of large warships of the naval divisions of the Han army and the Wu army was equal.

As for the batch of large warships presented by Xu Zuo, it took two years to build in Jingxiang and Xiangzhou; In other words, Xu Zuo's rebellion was one of the main factors that contributed to Liu Bei's eastward expedition.

It not only reflected the instability of the people in Jiangdong, but also made the strength of the Han army's naval division equal to the Wu army, and there was such a fighter that swept Jiangdong.

Strategically speaking, Xu Zuo's rebellion caused the Han army to shorten the recuperation period by one year; And now it is a lonely city in Jiangxia, and the total military and civilian population is more than 10,000 people...... What is the strategic significance?

After Xu Zuo rebelled, it was Tian Xin who protected Xu Zuo's treatment, and it was Guan Yu who endorsed Tian Xin.

Now that Ding Feng wants to get Xu Zuo's treatment, it is not enough to rely on Jiangxia Lonely City alone, and no existence like Tian Xin and Guan Yu is willing to trust him and vouch for him.

The weight of Ganshu in Jingzhou's governance was not enough to vouch for Ding Feng, Guan Ping had the intention to vouch, but due to the opposition of the pro-party around him, he was unable to give Ding Feng an accurate answer.

So much so that the local war has been canceled due to drought until now, and the basic treatment demanded by Ding Feng can only be retreated again and again.

Now Ding Feng only asked the Han army to send troops to meet his retreat, but the Han army preferred him to hold on to Jiangxia City and wait until the autumn harvest before the Han army sent troops to the east.

To receive Ding Feng, at least more than 10,000 troops must be dispatched...... Now that it is a drought situation, a lot of manpower has been invested in water conservancy, and it is really impossible to squeeze out the army and logistics manpower to meet it.

Ma Chao smiled narrowly: "Today, Xu Sheng led more than 10,000 troops to garrison and raise his mouth, Ding Feng has been suspicious, and I am powerless to respond." If he had raised his army early, how could he have been so embarrassed? If he could go to Hankou in person, Xu Sheng would not dare to pursue, and he would let Ding Feng lead his troops back to Han. ”

Tian Xin listened carefully, the matter of plotting against Ding Feng was not confidential to him, and Guan Ping also had relevant letters to state the matter.

Guan Ping only explained in the letter that Ding Feng was dissatisfied with his desire and was difficult to convince; Looking at this matter from Ma Chao's mouth now, it should be that Ding Feng's basic requirements have not been met.

Otherwise, Ma Chao directly scolded Ding Feng for being greedy and short-sighted, and he would never show mercy and cover up, and he still couldn't finish talking about it.

has a connection with Guan Ping, Ma Chao wants to protect Guan Yu's face somewhat, and may have taken into account his own feelings.

Regarding Ma Chao's tentative proposal, Tian Xin thought about it and said: "Ding Feng is a person entrusted by Gan Xingba to his family and clan, and there must be something good. However, I am an important minister of the state, and I have no edict, so it is not appropriate to interfere in the Jiangxia war. ”

There is no shortage of seeds of such a famous general as Ding Feng in his hands; The three thousand Ganning tribes that Ding Feng was holding in his hand gradually depreciated.

If it was Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition, Ding Feng would raise more troops to rebel, and he would definitely have good treatment...... If this is the case, the descendants of Gan Ning who remained in Jiangdong at that time will be finished.

When Gan Shu returned to the Han Dynasty, Ding Feng could have raised troops to accompany him, but he still looked ahead and backward and did not carry it out.

Ganshu is like a pathfinder and has received great attention from Jingzhou...... At this time, if Ding Fengruo led his troops to return, it was naturally a good story.

But Ding Feng didn't make any relevant moves, which made people feel very happy.

The main body of the fighting force under Ding Feng's command came from the Ganning tribe, and he was worried that after leading the troops to return to the Han Dynasty, the troops would be attached to Ganshu; Or are you worried about disintegrating the trilogy like Zhou Yin and being idle for a while?

In short, the five counties of Jingzhou competed, and the scene of the public government confronting Ganshu was very grand, but Ding Feng did not make a relevant response gesture, which made Jingzhou have some slander.

Now let's talk about the conditions, it is normal for Guan Ping, who is in charge of the Han army, and the people on the left and right to have a problem in their hearts.

If you drag it out in the negotiations and end up dragging out a drought, then start from the beginning...... During the negotiations, Xu Sheng led three new armies of Great Wu into Tunjukou and monitored Ding Feng nearby.

What if Ding Feng changed his mind?

Whatever the reason, Ding Feng had other ideas...... It would be a disaster to send an army to meet it, or to do it yourself.

questioned Ding Feng's sincerity, will Guan Ping and Ma Chao question it?

It will certainly be questioned that a crisis of confidence has erupted.

Speaking with confidence, Mamada made up his mind and said, "General Meng Qi, I think that if the drought subsides this year, if it does not recur next year, there should also be a flood. In the near future, it is really not a good opportunity to use troops, and it is not advisable to move lightly. ”

Ma Chao does not lack Jiangxia, this piece of garrison land, the land is vast and sparsely populated, there is too much land on the north bank of the Han River for Ma Chao's army.

"Well, filial piety is admonished first, and a certain should be remembered."

Ma Chao was constricted, arched his hand as he spoke, and when he dropped his arm, he turned sideways to reveal the six-year-old son beside him, and asked solemnly: "Filial piety has the wisdom to know people, you may look at my eldest son." ”

Ma Cheng pursed his lips, tried to raise his chin to look at Tian Xin, and was a little restrained, and hung his head.

It may be that Ma Chao has admonished, he raised his head again, looked at Tian Xin with a pair of round, black eyes, and tried to round the eye socket of the single eyelid.

This little guy also just came back from Yizhou, Jiangdu set up a city gate captain, and the Wei general Zhao Yun also moved to Jiangdu, and Zhao Yun came with too many officials and family members when Zhao Yun came; Around the autumn harvest, the last group of officials and their families who remained in Chengdu would follow Liu Chan back to Jiangdu.

"Yizhou is the land of abundance, with outstanding people, but it is to raise people."

Tian Xin praised and said with a smile: "I see you peeking at the tiger fence outside the door from time to time, if you like it, go and choose one." ”

Ma Cheng glanced sideways at Ma Chao, but Ma Chao pretended to ignore it.

He bowed respectfully: "Yes." ”

Seeing Tian Xin bowing slightly, Ma Cheng only felt full of strength, turned around and ran out.

Ma Chao turned his head to look, and saw his son's small body getting into the crack in the fence, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

He turned his head to look at Tian Xin again, and saw Tian Xin serving tea and drinking, not slowly, but with a smile: "General Meng Qi, rest assured." ”

He also has a young son, and he can have ten sons in the future...... Ma Chao probably calmed his emotions like this.

After a while, Ma Cheng came out of the fence, and after a few steps, a relatively thin tiger jumped out, and Tian Xin recognized it at a glance as the thinnest tiger in the tiger group.

couldn't help but glance at Ma Cheng a few more times, Ma Cheng turned back three times in one step, maybe the tiger in his eyes was a very big orange cat.

Perhaps the orange civet cats his mother had grown up and become what they are now.

Tian Xin looked sideways at Ma Chao: "General Meng Qi has a general, and the country is fortunate." ”

Ma Chao clenched his fists and was emotional: "Filial piety is kind, I can't repay it, I can only count on future generations." ”

Tian Xin smiled and said disapprovingly: "I don't know how to raise my family Ah Ping in the future, why don't you practice first." If General Meng Qi has no objection, I will ask Liao Gongyuan, Pang Jushi, and Yu Shifang to enlighten me, and I will teach it again after I am fourteen years old. ”

Ma Chao solemnly bowed his hand, he could understand Tian Xin to some extent, they were both people with dark thoughts, but they could keep their principles, and the other did not.

Let Tian Xin go to enlightenment, the devil knows what virtues he can teach his son. In the same way, he himself did not dare to enlighten his son.
