Cao Cao's prediction of Ma Chao is indeed not half wrong, at this moment, in the Shangshutai, the Ma family's important ministers are sitting around, there are two bigwigs of the military department, Xun You and Li Ru, there are also Bu Qi who is responsible for recording the summary, and Yang Fu, who specializes in picking up and filling in the gaps. Even, even Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other celebrities who have always been forgotten in people's sight are also in the top position. As for Liao Li, Peng Yang and other end-of-the-road, they don't even have the qualifications to attend the hall at all.

"Meng Qi, this time Shangshu Province issued an order to prepare a front line. In this way, each front line has its own business, and the governor's officials have more power to kill and take it. In the short term, although it is extremely beneficial to training troops to strengthen the country and deter the heroes, in the long run, if the general of the unified army has a different heart, the consequences will be ......." These words are not ordinary subordinates can speak, but the one who has the brain, vision, and qualification to say these words is Lu Bu, who sits at the bottom of Ma Chao with the golden knife, and takes a bite of the loofah rod and frowns.

Ma Chao also sighed at this time, not because of Lu Bu's proposal, on the contrary, it was precisely this problem that was to be solved by convening a major meeting of the Ma family this time. The reason for his sigh is naturally because he may not be able to taste the taste of authentic mellow tobacco in this life.

Of course, there is a more worrying thing, which is that Ma Chao knows that the source of the rumors that he robbed Sun Ce's wife is in the streets and alleys of Chang'an - since Da Qiao returned to Chang'an and settled in the Yongwang Mansion, the backyard of the Ma family began to be filled with a strong xenophobic mood, and every daughter-in-law smiled like a flower, warm and polite, and even Lu Qiling and Han Ying learned to smile without showing their teeth. But behind this smile, there is a vigilant and guarded distance, this strange atmosphere for no reason, makes Ma Chao stay away from his own backyard.

And that rumor Ma Chao actually doesn't need to guess, he can think that it is the result of Cai Yan's planning, Liu Yue, and Diao Chan's planning, and Lu Qiling, Han Ying, and Fu Shou's personal practice. These women used the usual means of the Ma family, using strong public opinion pressure to first block the possibility of Ma Chao getting close to Da Qiao, and then using the secret technique of the shadow to infiltrate the disintegration step by step, and finally forced themselves to invite Da Qiao out of the Yongwang Mansion.

The art of war and strategy are used in this kind of thing, and only the daughter-in-law of the Ma family can do it. Ma Chao shook his head, only to feel that the smoke floating in the sky and messy and disorderly and did not know what to turn into was an excellent portrayal of his mood at the moment......

"Meng Qi?" The old fox coughed twice, looking at Ma Chao's constipated expression, he had already guessed that he was wandering with foreign objects. Then he sighed silently and whispered, "I told you earlier that women are more terrible than wolves in the wilderness...... You've turned your backyard into a wolf's den. ”

The atmosphere in Shangshutai suddenly became a little sad and sad, Xun You, Li Ru, Yang Fu and other juniors did not dare to rebel against Jia Xu's prestige, nor did they dare to open their mouths to remind Ma Chao to return to the topic. It was only when they thought that their own married life was still harmonious that they showed an expression of 'fortunately so'.

"Ahem, father-in-law, don't worry too much, this meeting, because I have some immature ideas, I want to discuss it with you. If there is no major mistake, then the entire Ma family will have a smooth vein, like an arm! Ma Chao came back to his senses, and after glancing at Jia Fox, he continued to boast: "If this system is successful, it can be worth millions of lions!" ”

"Oh?! ......." Lu Bu was taken aback, although he had lost a lot of interest in killing on the battlefield, he naturally had a strong interest in military planning: "I don't know what Meng Qi's plan is?" ”

"I want to carry out the restructuring of the whole army in the next year-" Ma Chao said word by word, "I want the Ma family's army to go through a standardized and professional process, and build the Ma family's army into an absolutely militarized combat power unit!" ”

There are too many fresh terms in these words, even though some of these people are used to Ma Chao's occasional out-of-tune, but in the face of this sentence, they are still confused. Or Lu Bu, after throwing away the loofah stem, asked in a daze: "What is standardization, professionalism and militarization?" ”

"Professionalism means that the Ma family's regular combat power is only responsible for conquest, and the Ma family's army has basically done this. However, the Battle of Chang'an shows that the Ma Jiajun system still has shortcomings that need to be improved. Ma Chao didn't feel much about this, after all, Chang'an was an accident, and he was left with a hard wound when he began to draw Chang'an troops to conquer Yuan Shao from the Ma family. In other words, it was just an unconventional battle in which tactics surpassed strategy, and mistakes were inevitable.

Then, Ma Chao smiled and said in a special tone that only an insider can understand: "The so-called standardization means that the establishment, organization, and even supply of all the troops of the Ma family must try to achieve the same standard. In addition, in the future, the middle- and higher-ranking officers of each war regiment who have been promoted due to merit must be verified by the officials before they are personally appointed by me. Except in extraordinary periods, the generals of the front-line commanders generally only have the right to recommend, but not the right to directly appoint. ”

The military system of the Ma family is built layer by layer from the bottom up, and the implementation of Ma Chao's standardization first cut off the foundation of the self-respect of the generals on the front line: after the separation of the military and the government, without the logistics supply of Chang'an, the entire army is like a giant python that has been choked by seven inches. Letting the giant python turn over can make waves, but once Chang'an is here to exert its strength, the giant python will immediately lose all its spirit.

Naturally, there is also a possibility, just like Lu Bu, a peerless fierce man who won the hearts of all the soldiers with absolute force. He can lead a group of people to rob homes and houses when he has different intentions, and set himself up as a king. But Ma Chao said later, the general of the army no longer has the right to directly appoint, so that all the middle and lower-level officers are still subject to the military system of the Ma family, knowing that they are working for the Ma family, and it is better to flatter the loyal superiors than to kill the enemy bravely, so that even if it is Lu Bu, it is impossible to restrain the hearts of the soldiers.

Seeing that these foxes all showed frightened eyes for a while, they obviously figured out the deep meaning behind Ma Chao's move. Then Ma Chao put on a face similar to hypocrisy, and said: "Of course, in this way, the generals of the front-line troops may be more constrained. On the battlefield, the soldiers are in danger and the fighters are fleeting. Therefore, I have decided to give the commander-in-chief of the front-line troops the authority to participate in the strategic planning of the military department, and if necessary, to allow the commander-in-chief of the front-line to have the right to cut first and then play. In addition, in order to ensure the absolute prestige of the officers, the officers of the first rank of the general all enjoy the right to leave the festival! ”

Those who have this power in the army can immediately behead those who have no military position or violate military orders. Such power of life and death is rarely delegated, and once it is added, one can imagine how solid the personal prestige of the military commander must be!

"Oh? How can this be?! A hint of surprise flashed on Lu Bu's rigid face, and he obviously raised his posture from Ma Chao again: This method is equivalent to seizing power from the general in disguise, but Ma Chao is winning concealment. Giving the front-line generals the authority and absolute prestige to participate in strategic preparations, and at the same time weakening their right to subdue the hearts of their subordinates, the Ma Jiajun was united in their efforts, and there was nothing else to think about except to seek military merit with all their might.

It was at this time that Lu Bu suddenly glanced around, and suddenly understood why Ma Chao only invited the important leaders of the Ma family to Shangshutai today: In this way, it would be useless to say it to any general and Weimo official. Only by drawing these leaders into this central and confidential meeting can on the one hand fully demonstrate his intention to win the trust and on the other hand, and on the other hand, it can smoothly carry out this important matter without any complications.

From this, thinking about all this, Lu Bu couldn't help but look up at Ma Chao, who was still sitting upright on the chair. His method of playing and applauding the entire military system with a thousand pounds that he never announced it in his mouth really shocked Lu Bu: I really can't imagine that one person's ability to attack the heart and plan can be so exquisite, what kind of genius should this be?

Even, at this moment, Lu Bu felt that Ma Chao's posture of pumping the loofah pole was also unfathomable, and there was a faint sense of immortal wind and bones, as if he had never been a mortal person......

However, Lu Bu didn't know that under this leisurely and complacent attitude, Ma Chao was about to regret his intestines: he knew that crossing was so important, and he should have read some military-themed books in his previous life. I am a big man, but after Li Junyou's little lady mentioned it, I recalled these modern military management methods piecemeal, which is really a bit embarrassing!

This is indeed the case, if Ma Chao was really interested in the military in his previous life, and he had already been pushed to the end during the first military reform, where did he need to fry this cold rice again? is also because Li Junyou can indeed do some things that the Ma family's daughter-in-law can't do when he stays in Yongwangfu, Ma Chao really misses the atmosphere of the 21st century.......

Therefore, the problem in his backyard has become a dead knot. Just when everyone didn't know how to speak in a silent atmosphere, a guard outside the door entered respectfully: "My lord, the Hun generals Hu Yannu and Jin Buya ask to see them." ”

Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this, and the fairy wind bones and the deep melancholy taste disappeared without a trace immediately. I saw him unscrupulously show a wicked smile, looked around and said, "It's been a year and a half, and this group of wolf cubs finally can't stand it anymore!" Come on, please come in! ”

Lu Bu also looked around, and suddenly noticed that these people were all emitting green light like foxes. This feeling, Lu Bu felt very bad. However, he quickly thought for a moment, although he didn't understand what Ma Chao meant, he also pretended to show a smug look of wisdom beads in his hands......
