Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After arranging many matters, Ma Chao left the affairs of the Luoyang area to Tian Feng, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao and others to take care of them. He himself went north to Hejian of Jizhou, planning to join Zhao Yun and then use troops to attack Gongsun Zan.  Of course, two disciples, Ma Jun and Zhuge Liang, are indispensable.  Arriving at Chaoge, Ma Chao summoned Ma Xiu, Ju Hu, Cheng Huan, Zhao Fu, Li Li and others who were responsible for the defense of Baima and Yanjin areas to discuss matters.  This area is densely populated, the Yellow River flows gently, and the terrain is relatively flat. It is the gateway to the south of Jizhou. Whether it is Lu Bu or Yuan Shao, if they want to invade Jizhou directly, their first choice is the strongholds of Guandu, Baima, Yanjin, and Wuchao.  The same is true on the contrary. In history, when Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao, he also sent troops from this area.  For such an important strategic location, Huang Zhong had always been solely responsible for it. The talents and martial arts of Ma Xiu, Ju Hu, Zhao Fu and others were simply not competent. To ensure nothing went wrong, Ma Chao immediately made strategic adjustments after careful consideration.  First, Ma Xiu was transferred to Luoyang to take charge of the military, and together with Tian Feng, he was responsible for the defense of the passes around Luoyang.  Later, Dian Wei was transferred to Xiapi to assist Xu Huang against Yan Liang. Yan Liang's bravery was not matched by Xu Huang, but Dian Wei could deal with Yan Liang. Coupled with Xu Huang and Wenpin's military skills and Tao Qian's assistance, it was enough.  Kill Yan Liang's 100,000 troops.  Finally, Huang Zhong and Cao Xing were transferred to Chaoge to resume their old business, and with Jushou in charge of Yecheng, even if Lu Bu and Yuan Shao joined forces to invade, they would not be defeated.  After the transfer order was issued, Ma Chao rushed to Hejian without stopping, and ordered Zhang He, who was stationed in Qingzhou, to send 20,000 troops to Bohai County to support Ma Chao's Northern Expedition.  In the past two years, Zhao Yun has been stationed in the Hejian, Zhongshan, and Bohai areas of Jizhou to prevent and deter Gongsun Zan. Jizhou is a plain area and close to Yanmen and Mayi, so it is most suitable for training cavalry.  Of course, Ma Chao would not miss such a good advantage. Therefore, half of the 50,000 soldiers and horses under Zhao Yun were cavalry. Among them were not only the elite Xiliang cavalry, but also an ace cavalry unit built by Ma Chao.  There will be a description in the article after the point, so I won¡¯t mention it for now.  But once Ma Chao¡¯s quarterly report of the Han Dynasty spread, not only the common people in the world were shocked, but all the princes, big and small, were also very angry.  Especially Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, these two are the most famous in history. As a person who has traveled through time, Ma Chao also knows them best. Even the fact that the two stole other people's brides when they were young was exposed.  Not to mention Cao Cao, who was directly slandered by Ma Chao as an eunuch and a villain.  The young man pretended to be ill and deceived his uncle, abandoned his wife and children in Luoyang City, killed Lu Boshe's family in revenge, beat the ungrateful benefactor Chen Gong, massacred ordinary people in Xuzhou, harbored yellow scarf bandits, and raped women from good families.  His reputation was greatly damaged, and he immediately changed from destroying heroes to destroying thieves, and was despised by everyone in the world.  The people in the south were distraught, and the princes were shocked and angry. They were even more surprised after seeing Ma Chao's quarterly quarterly report. However, they had no choice but to fight Ma Chao to the death.  Ma Chao's move was so cruel, it was like digging into their foundation.  In this era, transportation was inconvenient and the literacy rate was extremely low, which led to a lack of information and ignorance of the people. It was difficult for ordinary people to know about world events in a timely manner.  Now, after Ma Chao's instigation, the news spread among the army and the people. Everyone in the powerful family is in danger, fearing that Yuan Shao will be defeated and Ma Chao's army invades Yu and Yangzhou.  The common people and slaves of aristocratic families were just the opposite. They wished that Ma Chao's army would immediately liberate the southern land and unify the political orders of the world.  This is an irreconcilable contradiction between powerful landlords and poor people, but it is not entirely a contradiction between exploiters and exploited, because Ma Chao is also an exploiter, and he is the largest exploiter in the world.  To be precise, this contradiction is the final battle between the feudal system and the slavery system. Whoever can treat the people better and allow them to live a good life will win the hearts of the people.  The people's morale was shaken, the military's morale was dispirited, and Yuan Shao and others could no longer sit still.  Now that all armies have sent troops to their respective battlefields, a big battle is about to begin. Yuan Shao, who is in charge of the overall situation in Shouchun, immediately summons his counselors to discuss countermeasures.  Yuan Shao held a quarterly report in his hand, his face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The little thief Ma Chao is extremely deceitful. He actually used this method to slander us, incite the people's morale, and disrupt the morale of our army. His intentions are to be punished. If this continues, it will be detrimental to the war.  , Do you have any countermeasures?" Everyone frowned when they heard this. They don't have Ma Chao's printing and papermaking skills. If they use silk to copy 200,000 copies of the memorandum to respond, it will not be possible in a short time.  Not only was Ma Chao extremely famous, but he also had the Emperor as a cover. It was true that the Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Four hundred years of grace still existed, the court had not fallen, and the world ruled. The most authoritative name for issuing decrees or making promises.  The princes like them are not like that. It has only been ten years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the local people have not been able to replace themselves. No matter how high their reputation among the people is, it cannot be higher than the imperial edict that carries the national jade seal.  At this time, the people's hearts were still biased towards the Han people. Except for Ma Chao's favor in the northern states, other countriesUnder the rule of the Communist Party of China, it is far from reaching the point where all people can return to their hearts.  After a long time, no one was willing to answer. Yuan Shao was about to get angry when he saw a middle-aged scribe standing up and clasping his fists: "Ma Chao has implemented benevolent policies in the north in the past few years, suppressed farming families, developed water conservancy, and created collective farming.  The system to accommodate refugees has won the hearts of the people. Although the princes and officials in the world are well aware of their intention to usurp the throne, the common people do not know it.  ! People are not like that. They will support whoever is good to them! Ma Chao has gained the upper hand with his foresight. It is almost impossible for the lord to defeat Ma Chao in terms of public opinion and morality! " Yuan Shao was secretly annoyed and looked evil.  Said: "Mo Feier and others are also going to betray me, go and join Ma Chao!" Everyone was shocked, and even said they didn't dare. Lord Bo Fengji said: "Don't worry, my lord, although Ma Chao has the support of the people, he is deeply  Hated by powerful men from aristocratic families, the lord is just the opposite, and is deeply supported by the lords of the family. The moral dispute is just a war of words, and victory or defeat cannot affect the overall situation. At this juncture, the lord should take a two-pronged approach and unite the forces that can be united in the world to fight against Ma Chaosu.  Decide quickly! If you wait a little longer, your chances of winning will be reduced!" Yuan Shao's expression improved slightly and he nodded: "What Yuan Tu said is what I want! In the end, the moral battle will depend on who wins the battle!  The government quickly arrested the spies sent by Ma Chao, and once they were found, they were immediately executed in public! In addition, the order of the leader of the alliance was sent to all armies. Ma Chao's monstrous words were not enough to win the trust of the people. If anyone dared to surrender without a fight, his entire family would be beheaded!  ! Let the wives, children, and families of the senior generals be sent to Shouchun and other hinterland areas for supervision! " "My lord is wise!" Officials from all walks of life agreed.  Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "Is this the two-pronged approach that Yuan Tu said?" Feng Ji was willing to refute, but he didn't feel comfortable refuting Yuan Shao's face. He clasped his fists and said, "My lord is far-sighted and far-sighted, and is definitely not comparable to Ma Chao, the little thief!  This time the millions of coalition troops attack Ma Chao, they will definitely win and achieve great things for a long time!" Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this, and laughed: "Once the war between Jingzhou and Xuzhou starts, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou will definitely respond with troops and attack Ma Chao from behind!  If Jizhou is in chaos, Ma Chao will be in chaos and great achievements can be expected!" Guo Tu shook his head and said: "Ma Chao has been guarding against Gongsun Zan in the north for many years, and sent his most powerful general Zhao Yun to lead a heavy army.  The Zhongshan and Hejian areas were fortified, so Gongsun Zan did not dare to act rashly after the princes challenged Dong. Although he agreed to send troops to respond, he alone might not be able to shake the foundation of Jizhou because his only son Liu He was in the hands of Ma Chao.  He dare not oppose Ma Chao's domineering attitude. If the lord wants to plot against Jizhou, the key lies with Lu Bu!  With a garrison of 100,000 troops, if Tao Qian tried his best to provide supplies for Ma Chao's army, it would be difficult to capture the 100,000 troops of Yan Liang and Cao Cao alone. The Lord needs to make plans in advance, if he can force Liu Yao, Zhao Yu and others in Guangling.  Participate in the three-pronged army's crusade against Xuzhou, and Xuzhou can be defeated! If Xuzhou goes down, Qingzhou, which is riddled with holes, will naturally follow suit! " Yuan Shao said disdainfully: "How can Huang Zhong and Xu Huang be compared with my trusted general Yan Liang?  ? The old man Tao Qian is just a family dog, but he is defeated by Cao Cao! Liu Yao and I have a long history of grievances, how easy is it to win over?  Destroy it early to eliminate future troubles!" As he was talking, a young general suddenly stood up and interjected: "My lord is wise! Liu Yao is in Guangling and has a good relationship with Tao Qian. If he helps Tao Qian during the battle,  On the contrary, it is not beautiful! The last general is not talented. He is willing to lead 50,000 troops to attack Liu Yao and take advantage of the situation to attack Xuzhou. If he becomes a rival with General Yan Liang and Cao Cao, great things can be accomplished. " Everyone took a closer look and saw that Sun Jian was left behind!  Sun Ce, the hostage of Yuan Shao.  After Yuan Shu's death, Sun Jian and Qu Yi defected to Yuan Shao, and were highly valued by Yuan Shao.  Subsequently, with Yuan Shao's strong help and his foundation in Jiangdong, he quickly pacified most of Jiangdong. It can be said that except for the powerful local snake Yan Baihu, Jiangdong has basically fallen into the hands of the Sun family.  Yuan Shao was not a fool. In order to prevent Sun Jian from leaving him and becoming independent, he promoted Sun Jian to an official position and promoted him to a noble title. At the same time, he summoned Sun Ce, Sun Jian's favorite son, to be his general. In fact, he kept him as a hostage.  Not only that, Yuan Shao also asked his eldest son Yuan Tan to marry Sun Jian's eldest daughter Sun Ning, trying to firmly control Sun Jian.  Although Sun Jian had territory, he had only been in business for less than two years. His soldiers and horses were not strong, and Jiangdong could not compare with the wealthy lands in the north. In addition, Shanyue was in trouble from time to time. All these reasons combined together made him unable to do so.  If you dare to disobey Yuan Shao, you can only temporarily serve as Yuan Shao's thug and help Yuan Shao conquer the world.  (To be continued.)
