(Ask for a recommendation ticket!) Kneel and beg! ）

Ma Chao thought for a while and said, "It's very simple, the wool comes out of the sheep!" We must not only crusade against the Montenegrin thieves, but also take them for our own use, use the Montenegrin thieves to make a fortune ruthlessly, and be sure to hoard a large amount of grain, grass and military funds within two years, just wait for the world to be in chaos, and then take the opportunity to raise troops and divide one side! ”

Several people were puzzled, and Li Yan said: "Please also ask the lord to speak clearly!" ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "It's not convenient to say much at this time, but Hou Er and others know that they urgently need money and food to expand the army and recruit troops at the moment!" Let's wait for three days to see how much grain the party county can raise. If it was not enough, the general could have mobilized materials from the court of the Southern Xiongnu king, and now the Wuheng war commanded by Pang De has been completed, and the harvest is great. The same is true of Fa Zheng, who is conquering Xianbei, and the Qiang soldiers under the command of my father-in-law, Han Sui, are now in full battle with Xianbei, and we should take the opportunity to expand our military forces against Xianbei, and we must plunder a large number of supplies and people before the snow falls. ”

Several people heard that their whole bodies were hairy, and now they finally understand why Ma Chao is so generous, it is often fifty gold or even hundreds of gold, dare to love that these gold are all robbed, and they don't feel distressed at all when they use it!

Ma Chao continued to brainwash and said: "Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest!" The attack on each other between the northern grassland peoples and our Han Dynasty can be traced back to the Western Anniversary, and the enmity can be described as deep as the sea. If we do not plunder them, we will be plundered, and only by completely crippling them and assimilating them will we never have worries. The same should be done for some wealthy families in the Han Dynasty who are rich and unkind and insult the people! Originally, he planned to subdue a group of Black Mountain thieves, and let his elite soldiers disguise themselves as Black Mountain thieves and join forces to attack the family Wu Fort in the nearby counties, which is the only shortcut to accumulate a large amount of money and food in a short period of time! ”

Several people were shocked when they heard this, it is true that the Wu Fort of the family stores a large amount of money and grain, but these Wu Fort is the place where the family lives and lives, not only is there a large number of private soldiers and slaves to guard, but the Wu Fort itself is not weaker than the ordinary small city, it is extremely strong and the defensive facilities are all available, otherwise it is impossible to escape the impact of tens of millions of Yellow Turban thieves and survive.

Zhang Liao used to be from a family, although it has long since declined, but he knows more about the family, and frowned: "There are many Han families, and the relationship between them is complicated, and they often affect the whole body. ”

Ma Chao said disdainfully: "Wen Yuan imagines the family too strong, there are thousands of people in the world, how many families are there?" Besides, the family is not united with each other, which is a big advantage in the middle! For the family, it is necessary to use both grace and power, first win over a part, suppress a part, and then pull together, and then suppress, and then suppress, and so on, the family can be destroyed! ”

Although several people were not convinced when they heard this, Ma Chao was the decision-maker of their group, and it was true that there were risks in this matter, and it was not that there was no chance of success, so they could only take one step at a time.

Then Ma Chao arranged some specific matters, and temporarily handed over the 1,000 Shenwei battalion cavalry under his command to Zhang Liao. He also asked Dian Wei to select 300 brave and reliable people from more than 1,300 strong men to form a personal army team responsible for protecting the families of the generals. The remaining 1,000 people were led by Huang Zhong, and the four of Lejin, Chen Dao, Wen Ping and Li Yan were still the commanders of the light pole for the time being.

After the meeting, Ma Chao went with Huang Zhong to visit the seriously ill Huang Xu, Huang Xu has a recuperation prescription prescribed by the local Langzhong, and he will not get sick in a short time, as for whether Ma Chao's health exercises can be effective, it will depend on time to prove. Although Ma Chao is full of confidence, he still hopes that Zhang Zhongjing can come to defect, and it may be possible that this person can completely cure Huang Xu. According to the report, Zhang Ji was indeed a disciple of Zhang Bozu, and he went out to visit famous doctors at this time, so he could only leave the letter. As for whether Zhang Ji can vote, it's hard to say when he will vote.

Early the next morning, Ma Chao had just had breakfast under the service of Du Xiuniang, and a personal soldier came to report: There were two people outside the barracks who asked to see him, claiming to be Gu and Yang Feng!

Ma Chao was overjoyed, and his hanging heart finally let go, he passed through Hanoi County and Shangdang County in such a high-profile manner, it is impossible for the two local snakes to not know, and finally come to vote at this moment.

"Su Gu (Yang Feng) meets the lord! Congratulations to the lord on his promotion to the position of General Wei and the title of Champion Marquis! As soon as they entered, they bowed down on one knee.

Ma Chao hurriedly stepped forward to personally help the two of them, and said with a smile: "The first guard general is not enough to worry about his teeth, but the two leaders are really believers!" Ben was right! ”

The two didn't dare to say it together, Yang Feng said: "The lord is famous all over the world, you are the concubine of the dynasty, and the official is more than the third prince of the Wei general, we are just a thief, and it is a blessing to be able to defect to the general in the previous life!" Willing to serve the general. ”

Ma Chao nodded, knowing that in history, these two people had taken refuge in the imperial court, and said: "The two of them gathered to rebel as a last resort!" Ben will never pursue the past, as long as he can make meritorious contributions under Ben General, it is not difficult to be crowned an official and a lord! Ben will be ordered to pacify the Black Mountain thieves, I don't know how many Black Mountain troops there are under your command! How many have taken refuge in you! What about the rest of the Montenegrin thieves? ”

Yang Feng said: "Lord Qiqi, the two of us are mainly active in the Shangdang and Hanoi generations, and there are about 150,000 to 200,000 people who have taken refuge in us, all of whom are distributed in the major valleys of Taihang Mountain to cultivate, and there are nearly 50,000 strong people. In addition, there are countless large and small leaders, and the forces are intricate, but these people mainly rely on Zhang Yan, Yu Xuan, Bai Huan and Tao Sheng. Among them, Zhang Yan has the greatest power, this person has nearly 100,000 soldiers who can fight, Bai Huan, Yu Poison and Tao Sheng, the strength of the three is equivalent to the two of us, the difference is that they are mainly active in Jizhou County east of Taihang Mountain, and we are in Shangdang, Sili Hanoi, Hedong and other places, and they have always been connected with each other! ”

After Yang Feng finished speaking, Le Jin nodded and said: "That's right, Zhang Yan united the remnants of the Southern Xiongnu in Fuluo, and his power has gradually expanded to the south, and now his power has penetrated into Hanoi County!" ”

Ma Chao couldn't help but ponder when he heard this, he didn't want to fight hard with the Black Mountain thieves, although he kept saying that he was here to destroy the thieves, but in fact, he took a fancy to the population resources of the Black Mountain thieves. These people are all landless and uncultivated, as long as they are allowed land and properly resettled, they can not only slowly weaken the Black Mountain thieves, but also strengthen their own strength.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao frowned and asked: "Although there is arable land in the valley, it is mostly barren land, how can it be enough for millions of people?" Do you have enough food for the people to survive the winter? ”

Hearing this, the two smiled bitterly and said, "The little grain produced in the valley is not enough to eat until spring, so we have no choice but to rob the rich families of the nearby counties. Recently, I took a fancy to a wealthy family in Wen County, Hanoi, and also led the troops to attack, but I didn't know that the family not only had a very strong Wu Fort, but also had many private soldiers, and the attack failed several times but lost a lot of strong men! ”

Ma Chao suddenly became interested and asked, "How many people are guarding that Wu Fort?" Can there be a child who is an official in the court? ”

"There are not many people guarding it, at most more than 5,000 people, but once it can't be attacked in a short time, reinforcements will soon come to save it." We are flanked from the inside and outside, and we are attacked on both sides, so we can only retreat! That family has the surname Sima? I heard that the ancestors have been officials for several generations, and the current head of the family also served as Jing Zhaoyin a few years ago! ”

"Sima Fang! Sima Yi! Ma Chao suddenly realized, isn't the famous Sima family in Wen County, Hanoi? These two really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and even the Sima family dares to attack, but now Sima Yi should only be seven or eight years old, and his brother Sima Lang is only seventeen or eighteen years old, far from the level of "Sima Bada".

Yang Feng said: "Could it be that the lord knows the Sima family?" ”

Ma Chao said: "Know a little bit, the Sima family must have hoarded a lot of money and food!" ”

Yang Feng's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "The Sima family is the largest household in Hanoi, with more than 10,000 domestic slaves, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and there are as many as three Wu Forts for grain storage alone, if it can be captured, not counting gold, silver and jewelry, the grain alone can be enough for 200,000 people to eat for at least a year!" ”

Ma Chao was very moved when he heard this, and he had enough grain and grass to recruit tens of thousands of male soldiers. But this matter is too risky, the Sima family has a very high reputation in the court, and it has a great influence in the family, once the identity is accidentally exposed, the reputation accumulated in the past six months will be completely ruined, and it will also startle the snake, causing the vigilance of other families.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Ma Chao still gave up this tempting plan. The Sima family has two talents, Sima Lang and Sima Yi, especially Sima Yi, whose talent is not weaker than Zhuge Liang. If you can collect it for your own use, the benefits brought are far from being comparable to the grain and grass and jewelry in front of you.

But Sima Yi has always had great ambitions and is an anti-bone boy, even Cao Ying and other annihilators were deceived by him, and finally took away the foundation of the three generations of the Cao family. This kind of person is like a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting oneself, if you can't control it, you will become a tiger breeding situation. But Sima Lang is a usable talent, and he is definitely good at handling internal affairs!

Having made up his mind, Ma Chao said with great solemnity: "The Sima family is not comparable to ordinary families, don't touch him for the time being, I will have my own plans." As for the two of you, go back and prepare first, and after five days, lead the old and weak to vote, Ben will recruit An'er and others on behalf of the imperial court, and the above table will invite you to serve as the thief general and the thief general, and stay under the general! ”

The two of them were overjoyed, hugging Ma Chao's thigh, not only their own future was worry-free, but a large number of displaced people under their command could also be resettled, which can be described as the best of both worlds. The thief general and the thief general belong to the miscellaneous generals, neither high nor low, but the local thieves in the imperial court Zhao'an have always been high-ranking officials.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao said again: "As for the strong people under your command can be incorporated into the official army, I will send people to go into the mountains with you to select strong men, and the rest can bring food with you to accept Zhao'an, I have my own way to properly settle these homeless people!" ”

The two immediately bowed down, their faces full of excitement, and said in unison: "Thank you Lord for your appreciation!" Yang Feng (眭古) is willing to serve the lord, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup! ”
