Chapter 1325: Subduing Ma Chao

Ma Chao hated: "But I don't know who this Shan Fu is. My father's murder was caused by Liu Bei!"

Xun You smiled and said, "I know about Shan Fu."

Everyone looked at Xun You.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Please ask the military advisor to clarify."

Xun You said:

"This person's real name is not Shan Fu, nor is he from Jingzhou, but from Yingchuan. His surname is Xu, his first name is Shu, and his characters are straight.

"Xu Shu was good at fencing when he was young. He used to kill people in order to avenge his friends. He walked in the market with his hair and face covered. On the street, he beat drums and asked the onlookers his name. Although some knew him, no one dared to answer.

"Later he was rescued, so he changed his name, abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and studied with famous teachers. Shan Fu is just a pseudonym."

Xun You also came from Yingchuan, so it's not surprising that he knew Xu Shu.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Whoever talks about right and wrong must be right and wrong. Xu Shu will not turn to List Fu for no reason, come to Hanzhong to persuade Zhang Lu, give up the land of Guanzhong, and blame me for this."

Ma Chao was silent.

Ma Dai said: "Brother, although I don't know who Xu Shu has taken refuge in now, it is enough to prove that Zhang Lu's letter was not a coincidence, but his instigation. It has something to do with the forces behind Jian Yong and Xu Shu, it is very likely that it is Liu Bei! At least, it is definitely not the work of Duke Yan."

Ma Yunlu also persuaded: "Yes, brother, if Duke Yan was not in Chang'an, he would take the risk to explain the misunderstanding to you, I'm afraid we would all be regarded as gunmen without knowing it! The best way now is to submit to Duke Yan. Slay the enemy as soon as possible."

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Chao knelt down on one knee and said to Bai Xiaowen, "Ma Chao is grateful for Duke Yan's kindness. If you don't give up, I will do my best in the future."

Bai Xiaowen helped Ma Chao up with a smile, and said: "Meng Qi is serious. From now on, he will follow my army and conquer dissidents. Sooner or later, he will meet Liu Bei on the battlefield. Then you will have a chance to take revenge."

Although Ma Chao has been subdued, Bai Xiaowen still can't use it with confidence.

Ma Chao is different from Pound; judging from the romance, Ma Chao is actually similar to Lu Bu.

Ma Chao in the official history raised troops against Cao when his father Ma Teng was in Xudu, which can be said to have killed his father. At that time, Han Sui also had a proton in Xudu. In order to persuade Han Sui to join him in the army, Ma Chao even said, "From now on, I will have no father, and you will have no son; you will be my father, and I will be your son."

In Romance, Ma Chao has been beautified, and it is set that Ma Teng tried to rebel against Cao in Xudu, but was defeated and killed, and then Ma Chao raised his troops to avenge his hatred.

Of course, the Three Kingdoms in the spiritual world are based on the popularity, and the popularity of the romance exceeds the official history, so the romance is the main one.

But even Ma Chao in Romance is hard to reassure. He started an army with Han Sui, but broke up with Han Sui; later he followed Zhang Lu, but turned against Zhang Lu.

Although the Romance tried to find a way for Ma Chao, but thinking about Liu Bei's attitude after subduing Ma Chao, one can understand a thing or two.

Liu Bei's attitude towards this Xiliang fierce general who has a bitter hatred with Cao Cao is idle. Although it is set as one of the five tiger generals, it is only a clay sculpture and wood carving, and it is almost never given weight to soldiers.

The famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, except those who died violently, generally lived longer (compared to other figures of the Three Kingdoms at the same time,

There are counterexamples), but Ma Chao only lived to be forty-five or six years old, and died of hatred. To a large extent, Liu Bei did not use it, which led to resentment that there was no hope for revenge.

Liu Bei is very accurate in seeing people. He didn't use Ma Chao, of course he had deep considerations.

It's just that Bai Xiaowen's time in the three kingdoms of the spirit world is only a few months. Although Ma Chao should use it with caution, it doesn't mean he can't use it!

Let me talk about necessity first.

The generals under Liu Bei's command are too popular and too powerful.

With Lu Bu and Dian Wei dead, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu are firmly in the top three of the Three Kingdoms' famous generals; Zhang Fei can also be ranked in the top five, followed by Huang Zhong.

With so many top-ranked lord-level generals, it is really stressful.

With Ma Chao here, at least one can be redeemed, greatly reducing the gap between Bai Xiaowen's top lords.

The Jiangdong Sun family is also different from the Romance. Sun Ce has never died—of course, Sun Ce, who has the strength of a top lord, should not be seriously injured by a few followers like in the Romance, unless he provokes Yu Ji as in the Romance. ; but to pin our hopes on the auspicious curse and death of Sun Ce, it would be resigned to fate.

Under Sun Ce's command, Zhou Yu and Tai Shici should not be underestimated, not to mention the addition of a top awakened Sun Yi.

As for how to use Ma Chao, Bai Xiaowen had already made two preparations in advance.

The first point, Ma Teng's death, now all kinds of clues point to Liu Bei. In order to avenge his father, Ma Chao must obey Bai Xiaowen's orders. Otherwise, Ma Chao, who has no land and army, what would he use to seek revenge from Liu Bei?

With Liu Bei immortal and his father's hatred not cleared up, Ma Chao is basically unlikely to rebel.

The second point is to cut off Ma Chao's wings.

Although Pound is the lord, there is still a gap compared to the top lords. Bai Xiaowen handed over all the details and accepted Pound's heart in order to make Ma Chao a loner.

Bai Xiaowen's preset role for Ma Chao is to be a brave general who will fight in battle, not a commander in chief alone. After gathering Pound, Ma Chao got closer to his preset role.

Of course, there are Ma Dai, Ma Yunlu and others who still follow Ma Chao. This is the fetter of relatives, and it is difficult to get it done like subduing Pang De.

But Bai Xiaowen has also prepared other means, such as transferring Ma Dai, Ma Yunlu and others; if necessary, he can use beauty tricks and the like, so that Ma Chao does not have a reliable general around him, which can minimize the possibility of his betrayal sex.

After subduing Ma Chao, Bai Xiaowen asked Zhang Lu to issue an order to set up sheriffs and captains in the counties of Hanzhong to completely turn Hanzhong into his own territory.

Then learn from Cao Cao in history, who migrated the population of Hanzhong to Guanzhong, and ordered that the population who is willing to migrate, after arriving in Guanzhong, allocate fields, the government distributes seeds, and are exempt from taxes for two years.

Bai Xiaowen will not be able to benefit from such good governance for the time being, but it can also play a role in weakening Hanzhong's strength and consolidating its rule.

Bai Xiaowen sits in Nanzheng and has been dealing with political affairs for several days. Migration of population, resettlement of county guards, etc., are a lot of affairs, and Xun You's help alone is quite powerless. Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen has a good memory, so he can be unbiased, but in this way, he will spend less time reading the heavenly scriptures.

"Why doesn't Uncle Jia show up? With him here, at least he can help me share a little bit." Bai Xiaowen sighed.

On this day, someone suddenly reported that Liu Zhang of Yizhou sent an envoy to visit Duke Yan!
