Since it has been decided to change history, then first of all, there must be a good long-term plan, just like Kong Ming and the first emperor Liu Bei planned to plan, and only by determining how to go in the future can we avoid wasting time and energy, after all, what the current Shu Han lacks is time.

First of all, Liu Chan classified the officials in Shuzhong, two days later, three different lists were displayed in front of Liu Chan, through the books in the palace study, the appointment of officials, their own deeds and Liu Chan's understanding of the Three Kingdoms, the officials were divided into three categories: mediocre ministers, loyal ministers, and traitorous ministers, among which loyal ministers and traitorous ministers are capable ministers, if they are incompetent, they naturally do not need to be divided, and they can be directly classified into Yongchen.

The reason for these three lists is mainly to prepare for the appointment of officials in the future, different courtiers have different usages, and mediocre ministers and the like will assign them some idle positions, and then restrict and evaluate them, which can be regarded as making the best use of them; Capable traitors will be treated much better than mediocre ministers, and they will be given a certain amount of real power, but they need to be constrained, such as placing people around them, so that they cannot realize the party office; For capable and loyal subjects, the need is to provide them with better promotion paths, and try to get them to the positions where they can play their best role earlier than in history.

Shu Han is already underpopulated, and talents are even scarce, only by making full use of the existing talents and letting them play a better and faster role, then Shu can become stronger faster!

Talent is one thing, ruling is the other hand, after all, if there is no power in his hands, even if Liu Chan knows what will happen in the future, he is powerless to change, and cultivating his own power, enabling Ma Mengqi is the first step for Liu Chan to gather power, he must control enough power as soon as possible, and then change the pattern of the Northern Expedition, the facts have proved that Zhuge Kongming's result is wrong, then he must prevent the mistake from happening.

"Your Majesty!" A snorting voice came, and then I saw the audience, a figure very respectfully bent down and saluted, this person was Huang Hao, who was sent by Liu Chan to Hanzhong to secretly summon Ma Chao to face the saint.

Looking at Huang Hao, who was tired and still panting, Liu Chan was a little later, and after he rested for a while, he said, "How is this trip to Hanzhong?" It only took you nine days to go back and forth, but it was very fast, and I was very satisfied! ”

"Your Majesty handed over to the slave and maid is naturally the most important thing for the slave and maid, the slave and the maid will naturally do their best, this trip to Hanzhong, the slave and the maid secretly inquired carefully, the hussar general is depressed in Hanzhong all the year round, but he is very cautious, and he has not heard anything to complain about His Majesty and the first emperor, and last year he was seriously ill, and now he is terminally ill, if he is summoned later, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to see it at that time!" Huang Hao bowed his head and replied.

"So, even though he's seriously ill, he's still here?" Liu Chan asked with a light smile.

"Your Majesty summons the order, how can the hussar general not obey, and now the people are outside the door, waiting for Your Majesty to summon him!"

"Since he is sick, don't let him wait for a long time, let him in!"

"Biography, Hussar General Ma Chao has come to see you!" Huang Hao opened his throat, pulled out his voice, and immediately called.

With the sound of the summons, Liu Chan then saw a rickety figure dressed in silver armor with his hair scattered everywhere, and his steps moved to the hall.

It can be said that this is the most vicissitudes and miserable person Liu Chan has seen since he traveled to this world for more than ten days.

Looking at its outline, it is not difficult to guess that the person in front of him was also a handsome and handsome general when he was young, but at this time, he looked like this, perhaps because the armor on his body was too heavy, and his body was not as good as before, the person's legs trembled, and it seemed that because he wanted to straighten his waist in front of Liu Chan, his body kept leaning back, but he couldn't straighten his waist, his scattered sideburns were all white, his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were hollow, his breathing was very heavy, and even around his body was full of corpse gas, as if he was not going to die soon.

Where is this still the Xiliang Jinma Chao who swept through Longxi and killed Cao Cao who cut his beard and robe! Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a generation of heroes was so miserable in the end.

Regarding Ma Chao's death, some people say that it was in the second year of Zhang Wu, and some people say that it was in the first year of Jianxing, but from today's point of view, Liu Chan is still more inclined to the latter, but looking at his current state, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this year!

"Cough... cough..."Trying to stand firmly, Ma Chao bowed.

"The first emperor was awarded the five tiger generals in the past, only the general and the old general Zhao are still there, the two of them have paid a lifetime of hard work for Shu Han, and they have made immortal achievements, although I am Your Majesty, I have not made any effort to the people of Shu Han, how can I accept the general's worship now!" Liu Chan immediately walked over and slowly helped Ma Chao up.

"Your Majesty is serious! The minister is just a general, the ability is mediocre, the first emperor does not give up, one of the five generals, since the appointment, his own merit and no work, can't help but be terrified, there is a negative hope of the first emperor! Ma Chao said with difficulty.

Helping Ma Chao up, Liu Chan said lightly: "I see the general's merits in my eyes; I also see the general's suffering, I hope the general will not blame me, and don't give up easily, I still need a general in Shu Han! ”

"Your Majesty also saw that the minister's body is not as good as before, riding a horse is a luxury, and when he comes, he still makes a carriage, and it is the first time the minister has taken a carriage, and he can't help but have mixed tastes in his heart, but although he has the heart to serve His Majesty, he has no choice but to fulfill his wish, and I am afraid that time is running out!" Ma Chao sighed.

"If the general has the heart to contribute to me and Shu Han, I will give the general a stage for the general to show his ambitions! I just don't know if the general is really willing? Liu Chan said lightly.

"The minister's heart to serve His Majesty has not weakened with the minister's body, and the minister is always looking forward to being able to serve His Majesty for several more years!"

"The general's loyal heart, I already know, I have arranged a place for the general, the general will go down first to rest early, and I will need to entrust the general with a few days!" Liu Chan said with a smile.

"I don't know what? I hope Your Majesty will inform you that I am afraid that time is running out, and I need to make plans early! A trace of curiosity flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, but he didn't know why His Majesty summoned him.

"Don't worry, general, I know it!" Patting Ma Chao's wrinkled big hand, Liu Chan persuaded.

Hearing this, Ma Chao didn't ask any more questions, and after bowing again under Liu Chan's support, he slowly walked out of the main hall.

"Huang Hao, do you say this Ma Chao is really loyal or falsely loyal?" Looking at the rickety figure that disappeared at the door, Liu Chan asked casually.

"Your Majesty, a man is about to die, and his words are good, and the minister sees that this hussar general should be loyal!"

"It is true that a person is about to die, but a dying person is more protective of his reputation, and it may not be impossible to lie, and his words of allegiance alone do not mean anything!" Waving his hand, Liu Chan smiled.

"But this hussar general is afraid that his time is running out, does Your Majesty really want to reuse him?" Huang Hao also had doubts.

"Since I want to use him, naturally I won't let him really die!"

"This hussar general is already terminally ill, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."Huang Hao said carefully.

Turning his head slightly, his eyes stared at Huang Hao: "If I don't let him die, he won't be able to die, understand?" ”
