Chapter 111: Two Confucian Scholars

Immediately after the order was given, the scouts were surrounded by the people, who desperately tried to get something, saying that they wanted to sacrifice the army.

"No, no, I can't take this wine, our army is forbidden......" An old man stubbornly hung a wine jug on the scout's saddle sheath, and the scout desperately refused, only to find that his strength was almost not as strong as the old man.

"And Auntie, I don't want this millet either, I also have millet here......" A woman wrapped some millet in lotus leaves and stuffed it for the scout, who quickly patted his bulging grain bag. If he hadn't been given orders everywhere and waited for the opportunity to write down the distribution of the surrounding villages and towns and the general population, he would have distributed his military rations to the people a long time ago.

A strong man who looked like a hunter stuffed a piece of jerky into his armor, and the scout drooled at the smell of jerky, but remembering the admonition of the captains, he quickly swallowed his saliva, and then stuffed the jerky back into the strong man's hand.

While the scout was trying to excuse himself, a dark shadow suddenly flew in and hit the scout in the face. "Ahh......h

The two Confucian scholars did not go to the army, but watched what was happening in front of them. The Confucian scholar, who was very thin in shape and cheeks, squinted and kept staring at the scout, and saw that although the scout was obviously a man, he was never rude to the people, and he couldn't stop brushing his beard.

The Confucian scholars, who were a little full and kind, kept looking at the people. After listening to the scout's words, the people all left their suspicions and vigilance behind, and everyone competed to shoehorn the scout with very simple things, as if the scout did not want them, but looked down on them. Seeing the people like this, the fat Confucian man was thoughtful.

After watching it for a while, the enthusiasm of the people is still undiminished. The scout was tempted to mount his horse and go away so that he could give orders elsewhere, but when the people saw that he was leaving without anything, they grabbed the reins and prevented him from riding. Seeing that there would be no change in the future, the fat Confucian smiled gently at the thin Confucian and said, "Wen He, after watching it for so long, isn't it enough to see that Ma Chao is a person?" ”

The thin Confucian said indifferently: "Okay, I'll wait to go." With that, the thin man turned his horse's head and left the village.

The Fat Confucian followed him, and the two rode to a wheat field outside the village. This is still between July and August, the wheat fields have been harvested in May, and the wheat fields are still waiting for the farmers to plough and wait for the winter wheat to be sown in a while.

Looking at the endless wheat fields, the thin Confucian looked far away and did not say a word, but his eyes flashed like blades.

The fat Confucian caught up and stopped beside the thin Confucian man. Seeing that the thin Confucian was not interested in speaking, the fat Confucian smiled happily.

The thin Confucian turned his head slightly, glanced at the fat Confucian scholar, and still did not speak.

The fat Confucian said with a smile: "Wenhe, you have also seen it just now, that is the soldier of Jinma Chao's subordinates." What do you think? ”

The thin Confucian man pondered for a moment and said, "Jinma Chao has a good way of governing the army, and I admire him." ”

The fat Confucian also sighed and said, "Well, yes." Everyone knows that nine out of ten Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the command of Jin Ma Chao were all obtained from Han Sui's surrender, surrender, and forced landing. Han Sui's soldiers burned, killed and looted in Liangzhou, and did all the evil things, and I don't know how much blood of the people was stained on the knife, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a beast. But the same soldiers, handed over to Jin Ma Chao, became so friendly and harmonious, and treated the people well. If you are born in Huainan, you will be orange, and if you are born in Huaibei, you will be orange. From this point, it can be seen that Jinma Chao is more than the Yellow River. ”

The thin Confucian nodded and said, "Other than that, Jinma is super smart, and I also admire it." It is important to get the support of the soldiers, but after all, the soldiers come from the people of Lishu, and only by winning the hearts of the people can they better win the hearts of the military. ”

The fat Confucian snorted coldly and said, "Wen He said this, but he is a little bit of a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. ”

"Mingxin, what do you mean by that?" The thin Confucian glanced at the fat Confucian leisurely.

The fat Confucian twisted his beard and said: "What I have done in Jinma Chao is to truly love the people, not to sell fame and buy people's hearts. Imagine that grain and grass are the key to victory, lack of food and less food, how can there be no reason to be invincible? Although Jin Machao has the support of the imperial court, the imperial court has experienced the desolation of the first emperor and the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the national strength has been weak.

The already small amount of grain and grass should be given priority to supply Pingding Guan Hai and Zhang Yan and others, and there are very few who can give Jin Ma Chao. And now is the opportunity to fight to the death, it should have been right to collect grain and grass, but Jin Ma Chao had to do the opposite and distribute the grain to the people. Was the vanity of loving the people enough to make him willing to risk losing his army? ”

The thin Confucian was silent, and the fat Confucian continued: "I don't think it's possible. The only explanation is that Jinma's super-food relief is out of sincerity, kindness, and compassion, and it is by no means used to buy people's hearts. ”

The thin Confucian nodded, and said lightly: "Believe in the high theory, and take it in your heart." It is indeed the heart of my villain, after all, even if he is selling his reputation, it will benefit one party after all. In Liangzhou, it has been a long time since there have been people who are willing to sell their reputations. As he spoke, the thin Confucian let out a long sigh of sorrow.

Hearing this long sigh, the fat Confucian who was originally in high spirits was also a little depressed, and also said, "Alas. Yes, the turmoil in Liangzhou has been more than a hundred years. Although the imperial court repeatedly sent strong troops to suppress it, the rebellion intensified. There is not one out of ten people, and the white bones are seen on the road, and the thought of it makes people's hearts sad. ”

The thin Confucian man's original slight pride dissipated, and he lowered his head, looking at a barren wheat field, frowning.

The fat Confucian suddenly became excited again, and said with a smile: "Wenhe doesn't have to be sad, isn't there a Jinma Chao now?" Just now, his scout said that he would expel Han Sui, take the land of Xiliang, and then rest the people. Isn't it enough to impress you Jia Wen and this cold heart? ”

The thin Confucian turned his head sideways and looked at the fat Confucian scholar, his face was normal, but there was a ripple in his heart.

The fat Confucian said with a smile: "Throughout the hundred years of Liangzhou, there are many separatists, rebels, looters, and rebellions, but there are only those who save the people." Although Han Sui has a ghost plot and is also in charge of the army, he is only the ear of Beigong Boyu. Although this generation was strong for a while, it was a tumor of Xiliang after all, and a thief of the country, which was harmful to the country and Xiliang.

Only this Jin Ma Chao is dedicated to the people and has the heart to save the people from fire and water. Of course, he may not have any plans to support his own troops and divide Xiliang. But as long as there is a trace of the will of the people, it is enough to make Liangzhou stable. What's more, judging from the battle situation in the past few decades, Jin Ma Chao also has the ability to restrain Xiliang. ”

No matter how unmoved the thin Confucian was, after listening to the fat Confucian man's words, he had to nod slightly in agreement.
