Jiang Wei instantly gave Ma Jian a thumbs up and said, "Uncle is different, I think my father will definitely say something similar here." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ma Yan smiled, patted Jiang Wei's shoulder and smiled: "Xiao Wei! Anyway, I've watched my brother pretend to grow up since I was a child...... No, I grew up watching my brother drag the text, I don't know, who knows? ”

Ma Jian squeezed his eyebrows at Jiang Wei as he spoke, making Jiang Wei and Zhou Budo laugh, sure enough, Ma Jian is worthy of being Ma Hong's brother, the deep Ma Hong's true biography, and the way he speaks is extremely similar to Ma Hong, it seems that he must have been influenced by Ma Hong when he was a child.

Sure enough, there are literary talents who are different, and Lao Tzu also wanted to say something to express his inner excitement, but he couldn't hold back a word in his stomach for a long time. Huo Jun stood aside and buckled his nose, squeezed his eyes, and had an expression that it was really troublesome to listen to you.

"Eh, do you two know what the purpose of this trip is?" Ma Yan asked Zhou Budo and Jiang Wei.

Zhou Budo immediately replied: "Of course I know, the purpose of our visit this time is to recover Yizhou South County. ”

Jiang Wei didn't speak, but nodded, Ma Yan's style of acting is similar to Ma Hong's, Jiang Wei knows that Ma Hong's character will never ask such a simple question, then Ma Jian will naturally not, this Ma Yan's age is smaller than him, but eleven years old, it is easier to get along.

Ma Jian shook his head and said, "Actually! The main thing is to ask for people, but also some brutes. ”

"Do you want someone?"

Zhou Budo looked at Ma Jian with a puzzled expression.

Ma Yan nodded: "This Yinan is a barren land, so well, getting Yibei is basically already getting Yizhou, Yonghong has surrendered, there is no need to fight anymore, but why fight?" This is the Yi people of the Southern Barbarians! If you don't fight, give them a little color to see, they will come to find trouble, so give them some color first, even if you can't get all Yinan back by then, you can deter them and make them dare not go north; In these two cases, the number of Yi people is also quite a lot, and there are also many animals that are not available in the Central Plains, such as elephants or something, well! It just so happens that the king wants to vigorously develop the economy near Chengdu and build various basic measures, so we need the help of the Yi people and invite them to come over to build for us! ”

Please come and do construction for our Han people, this is probably not please come! It's tied up! This is to catch the Yi people and make efforts! Zhou Budo smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Does this mean that the king decided not to subdue the Yi people, but to take them to a nest, and then capture men, women, and children and return to Yizhou to engage in construction?" Zhou Bu said without questioning.

Ma Jian shook his head and said, "That's not right! ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Budo was stunned again, he was known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he could always guess other people's thoughts, but now Ma Tan actually said that he was wrong.

"The king's purpose is to make the Yi people sincerely submit, not to take them back as slaves." Ma Tan said.

"Let the Yi people sincerely submit? I'm afraid it's not a simple matter! Zhou Budo said.

Ma Yan smiled and said: "Naturally, it is not a simple matter, so this thing may not be done well, and more soldiers will die, if the soldiers die more, it will go against the original intention, originally came to find someone, but it turned out to send people's heads." If the relationship between the Yi people and us is even worse at a dangerous point, they will be even more unwilling to work for our great construction cause. ”

Jiang Wei looked at his little uncle, and his words were really very similar to Ma Hong, what to give away people's heads, what to serve for a great cause, it was really a virtue with Ma Hong, which also made Jiang Wei like his little uncle more and more.

"Conquering the Yi people by force, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win the hearts of the Yi people." Zhou Budo said.

Ma Tan smiled and said: "Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top!" Force may not be able to conquer a nation, but force and sugar-coated shells may do. ”

"Sugar-coated cannonballs, what does that mean?" Zhou Bu said without questioning.

Ma Tan explained: "Didn't your teacher teach you? ”

Zhou Budo shook his head.

"The metaphor is a clever disguise of offensive tactics that people will be happy to accept, so you understand?" Ma Tan smiled.

Zhou Budo nodded.

"After saying the purpose of our trip, do you two know what the purpose of your trip is?"

Zhou Budo and Jiang Wei said in unison: "Study." ”

Ma Yan smiled and nodded: "Study, brush experience, it's best to brush up on more experience, you know?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Budo and Jiang Wei replied in unison, Ma Tan and Ma Hong said exactly the same thing to the two of them when they were leaving.

Time passed like a white horse, and the warfleet led by Ma Tan arrived at Beishui, and from Beishui to Qiongdu was about to start taking the land route, Ma Tan ordered the army to stay for a short time and rest for two days to enter Qiongdu, where Wei Yan garrisoned.

Next, when Ma Tan marched into Qiongdu, he frowned deeply, he saw a lot of corpses, some starved to death, and some were killed, most of them were killed by the army, because most of the dead were injured in the back, and their backs were inserted with sharp spears, and most of the people who used spears were soldiers of the army, so Wei Yan must have killed here.

There was a burning smell in the air, and the mountain wind was still presumptuous, but it was stimulated by the miserable scene, and they wept violently, and the sound of whimpering echoed in the steep mountains.

Ma Tan led the army to Qiongdu, and there were bloody corpses outside the city, Ma Tan opened his mouth and said to Wei Yan: "There are too many dead, if Pingnan is based on killing, wouldn't it go against the original intention of the king?" ”

Wei Yan glanced at Ma Yan and smiled indifferently, "Then what should I do, we have already made a statement of surrender, the Yi people will not surrender, and the king's letter said that we will kill fewer people, so I have killed even less." Upholding a benevolent heart in war can be a temple theory, not a practical one. You have to know how the king treated those people in Hanzhong at the beginning, not my race, but they can be punished! ”

"Now is the time to employ people, just catch these people back, catch them back for the construction of Yizhou, what use will you find when you are done?" Ma Jian said.

"Oh?" Wei Yan smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Ma Yan's shoulder and said, "You said it earlier!" You said earlier that you needed people, and you had to engage in some benevolent and righteous talks. ”

Ma Yan was a little helpless by Wei Yan's rapid change of face, and he meditated for a while, "If you want to get more labor, you must win back the hearts of the people of Nanzhong, and it is good to kill some people at the beginning to shock them, if we want to subdue the hearts of the people of Nanzhong, we need more than just knives." ”

Wei Yan nodded and said, "Then we have a good division of labor, you take care of the hearts of the people of Nanzhong and the Yi people, and I, when needed, take their lives, okay?" ”

Ma Yan nodded.
