Chapter 3 "Tianshui vs. "Tongue War" Han Sui, Ma Chao Cooks Wine and Discusses Heroes
Time is pressing, and the most important thing at the moment is to unify the northwest and integrate the strength of the northwest into a rope, so that we are not afraid of any challenge. After thinking about it for two days, Ma Chao already had a case in his heart to persuade Han Sui. He thought of the tongue war in Three Kingdoms 11, and anyone who has played this game knows that in this game, when there is a dispute, the tongue war will be used to solve the problem; Today, Ma Chao will also use his three-inch tongue to persuade Han Sui with "Tianshui pair". Han Sui happened to have been in Tianshui during this time, so Ma Chao came to visit.
"Nephew to meet uncle!"
"It's Chao'er, please take a seat! Come and see my uncle today, what's the matter? "Han Sui is 52 years old this year, and he has passed the age of Top Gun, and he thinks more about keeping his own land.
"My nephew came here to ask my uncle about the situation in the world and see in which direction our Xiliang Army should develop!"
Hearing this, Han Sui was taken aback, in the northwest, Han Sui is considered the military advisor and think tank of the Xiliang Army, although Ma Teng's subordinates are not lacking in fierce generals, but they are all brave and brave, and their resourcefulness is insufficient, otherwise Han Sui will not be able to become the first think tank of the Xiliang Army. According to Han Sui's previous understanding of Ma Chao, there would never be such a question, so he said: "The virtuous nephew has this question, so he naturally has his own opinion, you talk about it first, uncle listens, haha!" ”
"The nephew listened to the sage and said: The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were in turmoil, and after the Qin and Han Dynasty were unified, and the Han Dynasty was unified for a long time, there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the front, and there was the Dong Zhuo Rebellion in the rear, and now it is in the troubled times, the Han imperial power is declining, the princes are rising, and the heroes are divided; Heroes come out of troubled times, in this world of great contention, if you don't become a hero, you will become a dog male, our Xiliang army lives in the northwest, no worries, but if you don't fight, the Central Plains hegemony is over, and the trend of unification is now, we will be destroyed by the powerful princes! ”
Hearing this, Han Sui was taken aback, and secretly sighed that he had underestimated Ma Chao before, and it would not be easy for a child to have such an opinion, so he replied: "What the virtuous nephew said is very reasonable, so according to you, how should our Xiliang Army compete with the heroes?" ”
"Liangzhou in the northwest, a corner of the country, with insufficient production, backward economy, and insufficient self-protection. In the nephew's opinion, our biggest enemy Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Dao, Zhang Lu and others, there is no need to worry, the advantage of Xiliang lies in the cavalry, we should train the cavalry hard, train an invincible Xiliang iron cavalry, accumulate grain and grass, integrate the resources of the northwest, and take down Hanzhong Zhang Lu in one fell swoop! Hanzhong, the granary of the northwest, is also a large land and a large population, based on Hanzhong, you can train 50,000 elite iron horsemen, led by your nephew, you can set foot in Jingzhao and eliminate Li Dao in Chang'an! After the battle leads Chang'an, we can serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, to the northwest of the five cities, there is Tongguan in the east, and the world can slowly figure it! ”
"Obey the Son of Heaven to order not to obey?" Han Sui heard this, the teacup in his hand fell in response, the tea was spilled on the ground and he didn't realize it, he stood up excitedly, and did not hide the huge shock in his heart, as the first think tank of the Xiliang Army, Han Sui had already thought about the trend of the world, and also analyzed the way out of the Xiliang Army, but especially not as clear and thorough as the 18-year-old Ma Chao'er's thinking, especially his argument of "serving the Son of Heaven to order not to obey", he never dared to think about it before, let alone do it. Dong Zhuo was in turmoil in Beijing before and was destroyed by the heroes, precisely because he didn't understand this strategy! It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and the children can be taught, think about it carefully, "Feng Tianzi is not a subordinate?" "It is indeed a feasible and good way in troubled times, in this troubled era of great contention, as long as there is the righteousness of the Han Dynasty, many things can be much simpler.
"Obey the Son of Heaven to order not to obey?" Naturally, it was not Ma Chao who came up with it himself, Ma Chao who crossed over knew its benefits, Cao Cao relied on coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, defeating Yuan Shao, who was in the middle of the day, and now his position and opportunity are better than Cao Mengde, of course, he must seize the opportunity and make use of it.
The most important issue of blackmailing the princes to order the princes is to determine the legitimacy of power. In fact, it is impossible to "order the princes", but it is different for the subordinate bureaucrats of the princes, which is equivalent to the difference between being integrated with the imperial court or "committed to the thief" local confrontation with the central government. Don't underestimate the 400-year imperial education of the Han family, after all, it has left a deep-rooted imprint in the hearts of scholars.
Liu Bei's success is also related to this, because he is a royal family, and there is no problem in the legal system, as long as he keeps preaching that Cao Cao "is called Han Xiangshi is a Han thief". But after all, he didn't dare to be called emperor until Cao Pi really usurped the throne.
Sun Quan is even more interesting, the secession of Jiangdong is actually similar to the nature of military and civilian self-preservation, and the wealthy families in Jiangdong jointly elected such a person to take the lead in defending the land of their ancestors, and the civil and military ministers under him are all people within each family. Therefore, before the Battle of Chibi, everyone persuaded Sun Quan to surrender, because these people thought that the opposite was the orthodox court. These can see the horror of the strategy of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes"!
Han Sui calmed down his excitement, and then asked Ma Chao: "Since the virtuous nephew thinks that Zhang Lu, Li Dao and others are not worried, then who do you think is a hero in the world?" Yuan Shao Yuan of the Fourth World and the Third Prince? ”
Ma Chao knew that this was Han Sui's test of himself, and replied: "On the current general trend today, it is true that Yuan Shao is the strongest, has the widest range of generals, and has the most strategists, with 200,000 soldiers, and occupies the vast land of Hebei, but the nephew thinks that Yuan Benchu is not a hero, and the nephew heard that Yuan Shao is a person who is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, resourceful and undecisive, doing big things and regretting his life, seeing small profits and forgetting his life, and having many relatives, he can't become a big thing!" Cao Gong Cao Mengde, eloquent and strategic, good at knowing people, concise on the outside and clear on the inside, employing people only is the hero of the world, and he will be atmospheric in the future! Sun Ce Sun Bofu is a man who is decisive and decisive, bravely covers the world, dies in battle with his father, and his soldiers will repay him, turn to fight thousands of miles, all the land south of the Yangtze River, punish his fame, and act in neighboring countries! Sun Langwu and Zhou Langzhi, when they meet, they will marry the monarch and the ministers, with the talents and virtues of the two, as long as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu do not die, they will dominate Jiangnan in the future, and Sun Ce is also a hero in the world! ”
"In the opinion of the virtuous nephew, Yuan Benchu will lose to Cao Mengde?"
"With the ability of Cao Gong and the wisdom of Guo Jia, there are countless fierce generals under him, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things and occupy the Central Plains! Jiangdong is all small, no one can compete with Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin, Sun Zhou will dominate the land south of the Yangtze River; Only by seizing the opportunity, integrating the combat power of the whole northwest, taking Chang'an, occupying Luoyang, and recruiting talents on this basis, can we compete with Sun Cao."
"According to the opinion of the virtuous nephew, the world will be divided into three parts in the future?" Han Sui's shock today can no longer be expressed in words, I feel that I have lived in vain for more than 50 years, and a great talent with unparalleled wisdom is by my side, but I didn't find out that Shoucheng has a son like this, how lucky! If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't say this as the first think tank of the Xiliang Army, Han Sui would definitely suspect that someone else had taught Ma Chao to say it. Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, a generation of new people replace the old people, I am old, and the world is their young people!
"In my nephew's opinion, as long as our northwest is united and unanimous with the outside world, my nephew only needs to work hard to train 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and my nephew will be in charge of the army, and he will be able to lead the invincible army to level the Central Plains, defeat Cao Cao, annex Eastern Wu, and dominate the world!"
"Meng Qi is so courageous, my nephew has this ambition, my uncle is deeply grateful, and my uncle will pave the way forward for you and lay a good foundation for you! You can do it boldly according to your ideas, I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the day when Xiliang Iron Riding on the Central Plains! On your father's side, I'll go and tell him. I will allocate you 10,000 cavalry first, and you will train it well, and if you can train an invincible iron cavalry, we will attack Hanzhong in a year! You are right, in this world of great contention, the territory cannot be defended, we must continue to forge ahead, expand the territory, and become a dog if you don't become a hero! ”
"Respect the military general's order, exceed the expectations, and in a year, I will give you and your father an invincible Xiliang Iron Horse!"
"Haha, my nephew is so talented, don't call me a military teacher, I have a false reputation as a military teacher, but my knowledge and strategy are far inferior to Meng Qi, I really deserve the name of a military teacher, and the future world will be your young people's!"
"Uncle is too modest, and my nephew still has something to ask for!"
"Meng Qi but it doesn't hurt to speak"
Ma Chao said a little shyly: "Chao and junior sister Han Ying, childhood sweethearts, the two are happy, now Chao is an adult, and the junior sister is more than twenty-eight, at this time the boy is just starting a family, I implore my uncle to marry Xiaoying to my nephew, and the nephew will live up to Xiaoying in this life, so that he can live up to food and clothing all his life, and enjoy glory and wealth!" ”
"Haha, my uncle has already seen it, but this matter has to wait for me to discuss it with Shoucheng, but if you want to marry Xiaoying, you must go down to Hanzhong as a dowry!"
