Chapter 242 [Fengling Strategy Theory]
(Thanks to the Alliance, it’s not OK to have a headache. UFGW and Anxi’s disciples 1 support are all familiar ids!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Things in the world are unpredictable, with ups and downs. Yesterday, more than 60 soldiers of the Bohai Army in Liaodong were surrounded and surrendered. Today, more than 40 soldiers of the Xiliang Army were forced to disarm. Even Jia Xu, a generation of poisonous soldiers, capsized in the gutter - this time, it really capsized.
But Ma Han did not regard him as a prisoner, but treated him as a guest of honor.
At dusk, the boat was moored at a ferry in the northeast of Huayin. This ferry was still unknown at this time, but it was famous in later generations - this is the famous Fengling Ferry.
The horseman left a team of wolf riders patrolling, while the tower boatmen guarded the boat, while the boatmen worked overtime overnight to relocate the spare sails and mast cables, and at the same time re-sand and paint the masts, wrapping and reinforcement.
Ma Han led Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Wu Zhui and more than a hundred wolf cavalry, Xu Huang's guard, Jia Xu's child servant and surrendered Xiliang Ruizhe, to stay in a small village ten miles away from the ferry entrance.
This village is only 20 or 30 families, so of course it is impossible to accommodate so many people. Under the arrangement of Likui (village chief), Ma Han, Jia Xu and a team of wolf cavalry and child servants moved into the village, and the rest of the people set up camp outside the village.
Xu Huang was rigorous in his army. Even if he only stayed in the wild for one night, he would never be careless. He led his entourage and the horseman to his Xiliang Ruishi team to survey the terrain, set up camps, dig trenches, set up obstacles, and meticulously. Wu Zhui led the wolf cavalry to scatter for ten miles, patrol and provoke, forming an outer cordon. The two generals, one inside and one outside, one outside, one still and one moving, and they cooperated with each other in a very coexistence.
In the small courtyard where Li Kui gave up, Ma Han summoned Chen Xing.
Ma Han did not punish those who surrendered. In that case, besides death in battle, there was only one way to surrender. Ma Han would not criticize the ancients as the standards of later party members. And no matter what, he had to give Jia Xu a face. However, not punishing does not mean not commendation. In this incident, one of them performed quite well, and even Jia Xu praised it.
Eagle-eyed military officer Chen Xing Chen Zhongyuan.
"Chen Zhongyuan, right? You're very good. Now you are the chief clerk." Ma Han made the first statement straight to the point and promoted Chen Xing, but there was no reward. After all, Chen Xing just did his duty and did not make any contribution.
The position of Hawkeye's chief clerk is the same as that of the county clerk. He has a rank of 400 stones. Although he is only one level higher than the military chief, he is promoted from an official, which is very different in nature.
Chen Xing was quite surprised. He thought that it was just what he should have done. Perhaps because his peers performed too badly, he highlighted his special behavior. Thank you, "I burned the secret text. However, I can write it back down."
Ma Han said in surprise: "Is it OK?"
Chen Xing was full of confidence: "Yes!"
Ma Han nodded with laughter: "Zhongyuan has such a talent, no wonder Guorong will choose you to be Hawkeye."
Tian Yu was responsible for the Hawkeye primary election. Without some special talent, how could he get the eye of this "Dao of Northern Frontier"?
Chen Xing finally said: "My younger brother, Shu Zhi, has courage and ambition, and he was originally led to serve in the general's tent."
Ma Han naturally smiled and said, "It's great. If both brothers join the army, the Liaodong County Government will have other offers in this regard. You can summon your brother to come."
It was getting late, and Ma Han asked Jia Xu to come and have dinner together.
Jia Xu came over quickly, but in just half a day, the poisonous man looked relaxed and happy, and he had no awareness of being captured. Although no one regarded him as a prisoner and was respectful, the facts are the facts. Even the Xiliang Rui soldiers who protected him became prisoners. So what if they were protected?
Ma Han knelt behind the desk, pointed his hand and said with a smile: "It's hard to get a good meal when you are marching outside. I hope you don't think of some coarse food."
Jia Xu had an official position before, and he was quite high: Guanglu Dafu. In summary, he was still a colleague of Guanglu Qing Ma Han. However, Jia Xu had resigned from his official position and returned the seal and ribbon, only retaining the title, so he was often called a gentleman.
Jia Xu bowed and said, "I'm upset." He calmly went to the table. Ma Han toasted, and he drank; the guards added meat, and he drank it casually, and he looked very comfortable.
Ma Han didn't speak, and the two of them looked like they were a stance that the ancients "don't eat or sleep".
After the meal, Ma Qian ordered his servants to deliver the fruit wine after dinner. With a slap of his hands, two guards entered. One of them inserted several oil lamps on the lamp base on the earthen wall, and the other one hung them on the wall with a roll of cloth and bowed and retreated.
Jia Xu was originally tasting the Liaodong homemade fruit wine gracefully, nodding slightly, and was about to give a comment, the cloth suddenly hangs down, and Jia Xu naturally looked up. At this time, his eyes could not be moved away, and his always calm expression flew away. He held the wine jue and completely forgot everything.
Ma Han was very satisfied with Jia Xu's expression. His hard work was not in vain if this wise man was so disobedient.
What moved Jia Xu so much was of course not the fabric itself, but the picture above.
The map of the territory and world of the Han Dynasty!
Since Ma Han was the commander of the Hange tribe, he has paid great attention to the terrain and maps. Whenever he went to a place, he would observe and draw. When he became the guardian of Bailang City, he sent a large number of detailed works and painters to Liao, grassland, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and even the northern part of Bingzhou to survey the terrain, landform, and power there. In this regard, Zhongshan Zhen helped a lot.
After Ma Han went south to Xuzhou and then went to Yanzhou, he not only obtained the topographic maps of Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, but also recruited some merchants in Guangling to sneak into Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Sanfu and other places to collect a large amount of information, among which the topographic maps were the top priority.
Until Ma Han took over Liaodong and Hawkeye was officially established, the first task was to integrate the achievements of the past few years and draw maps of various purposes. This map of the territory and world pattern of the Han Dynasty was one of them. This map was embroidered into different forces with seven color lines, and marked with names at the same time, which was clearly visible.
Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, no prince has such a novel, intuitive, clear and complete picture of the world pattern. Just imagine how Jia Xu was not moved to lose his composure?
Ma Han held a horse whip in his hand, as if a professor was starting a class. He pointed to the force marked in red in Liaodong.
"Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuantu, Lelang, Donglai, Liaodong vassal states, Oh, and this, Mr. must be very unfamiliar with Liaoning. There are six counties and one country in total. The land he occupies is twice as much as Youzhou, comparable to Jizhou. This is the territory and foundation of my Mahan. What do you think?"
Jia Xu pointed to a certain place: "The Liaoning County seems to be the old place of Goguryeo."
Ma Han smiled and said, "Now there is no Goguryeo, only Liaoning County. In the near future, the Three Hans, Woju and Sushen will no longer exist, and two counties will appear in our Liaodong."
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and his eyes flashed brightly, and he continued to ask: "What's the situation in Liaodong?"
Ma Han did not hide it at all, and shared the plate with him: "The population is nearly one million, the grain is nearly two million, countless cattle, alpacas and horses, ten thousand war horses, ten thousand armored, and sufficient swords, guns, bows and arrows. But if you need it, you can support a military operation of a 10,000 army of 10,000 people."
Jia Xu's eyes were bright. He habitually twisted his beard, and suddenly realized that he was holding a wine jackpot in his hand, but his beautiful beard was stained with fruit wine... But at this time, Jia Xu no longer cared about this because the words below Ma Wen made his heart feel like he was hit by a heavy hammer.
"Youzhou Gongsun Zan's momentum has already declined, and it is nothing more than a perseverance. Yuan Shao, Jizhou, is the most powerful in the world. Once the Gongsun family is defeated, he will definitely cross the river and sweep the world. Cao Cao and Lu Bu fight against each other in Yanzhou, Lu Bu will be defeated. Cao Cao won a miserable victory. After Lu Bu lost, there was only one way to run to Xuzhou and surrender to Liu Bei. Liu Bei's new lord Xuzhou has not been long, and his foundation has not been stable. He needs a tiger to guard his gateway. Lu Bu is the most suitable. In this way, within a few years, Cao, Lu and Liu's struggle is still urgent. Yuan Shu in Yangzhou is slightly inferior to his brother,
However, this person is very ambitious and talented, and has no one under his command. Although he can be strong for the moment, I can see that his prosperity is strong and his decline is sudden. Liu Biao, Jingzhou, rode alone into Jing, formed a wealthy family, unified the river and land, and carried tens of thousands of armors. However, he was a person who was in charge of the country, had more than enough peace inside, lacked enough control of the outside, and was too much controlled by the aristocratic clans, and was difficult to achieve success. Others, such as Liu Zhang of Western Shu and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, it was difficult to defend himself, and it was not worth worrying about. The three auxiliary Li, Guo, Western Liangma, Han and others were just speculators in troubled times, and the speed of defeat was in front of them..."
Ma Han talked freely, from the general trend of the world to the talents of the princes from all sides, the appointment of talents under his command, the strength of the troops, the livelihood of the people under his rule, etc., all of which were included.
Jia Xu seemed to be stunned when he heard this, and his hand twisted his beard and did not move for a long time. He suddenly asked: "Is Ma Jun interested in this world?"
Ma Han smiled and circled the map with a long whip: "The world is like a game, and the princes are my sons. I, Ma Han, strive to be the person who holds chess. First use the edges and corners to form momentum, and then - one son determines the Central Plains!"
Bang! The key point of the whip is Luoyang!
This is the first time that Ma Han has told people about his understanding of the situation in the world and his personal ambitions. He is not afraid that Jia Xu will tell them. Since he knew that the person in front of him was Jia Xu, a famous poisonous soldier in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Han has made up his mind to either accept him or kill him. In short, he will never let this person slip away from his palm and escape to others' power.
Ma Han was not worried about Jia Xu's loyalty. It seemed that Jia Xu, who is so smart, knew the most in his heart, but he knew what kind of person was the most worth following.
Jia Xu is now a bossless person who is eager to seek a new lord. From the perspective of historical perspective, the next one he wants to vote is Duan Wei; the next one is Zhang Xiu. No matter which of these two people is, they cannot be assisted. With Jia Xu's ability, can't you see it? He just has no choice.
If Jia Xu wants to vote, he can only vote for the village party. This is the norm in the Three Kingdoms era. It is highly difficult to be valued by relatives and relatives. It is not the same as these two. Fortunately, Ma Han can be regarded as half of the village party with Jia Xu. Next to Fufeng is Liangzhou. Ma Han has the hardware to recruit people.
Now, Jia Xu has a new choice - Ma Han!
This person has all the conditions that meet the overlords of the troubled times in Jia Xu's mind - a solid foundation, sufficient food and fodder, strong military strength, abundant military resources... The most important thing is that this person has amazing ambitions and has enough talents to set off this ambitions. Many of his analysis of the trends and analysis of the world's general trend coincide with him, and some are deeper and more thoroughly subverted all his feelings when he first met Ma Han.
With his never-before-sighted ability to identify people, Jia Xu can conclude that this person is indeed a master who has the potential to be a hero he has never seen before. What's even more rare is that the other party obviously values him very much - those words are not something that can be said to anyone. Jia Xu has no doubts. As long as he spits out half of the word "no", he will definitely not be able to get out of this room.
So, should we observe for a while, or should we rely on it decisively?
Ma Han walked up to Jia Xu with his hands on his back, leaned over and stared at the unparalleled poisonous man, with his eyes burning: "I don't know, and I don't want to say anything like meeting a gentleman, like a fish in water. I just need a gentleman - I need you! And you also need me!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
