The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Ma Chao and his father Ma Teng actually have nothing in common.

From this perspective, he should have a lot in common with Cao Pi.

Ma Chao doesn't think highly of his father, because in his eyes, Ma Teng is a loser.

If you go back to the ancestors of the Ma family, they are still quite prominent. When it comes to General Fubo Ma Yuan, who was shrouded in horse leather, everyone knows everyone. On the one hand, the Han Dynasty declined, so it fell.Ma Teng's father was squeezed by people and couldn't stay in the Central Plains. He lived in the western Xinjiang and lived with the Qiang people. He gradually followed the Qiang customs. He also married a Qiang girl and gave birth to Ma Teng. Ma Teng continued the work of ethnic integration. , Ma Chao was born.

In those days, it was not difficult to be the king of grass heads. Zhao Yun once fell into the grass and became a bandit for a few days. There were armed forces everywhere. Ma Teng also pulled up a team. Like many warlords, Xiao thought that one day he would aspire to the Central Plains , at least seal a king.

Qiang people don't pay much attention to education, and their way of life can be called primitive ecology at best, or too rough at worst.They have no concept of ethics, but they have a natural worship of the simple natural law of the weak and the strong. Ma Teng's ancestors are also Liehou, and his education level is higher, so he stood out among a group of Qiang people with a little effort, and became a The local warlord.

But there are still many people in the same situation as him, such as Han Sui.

Han Sui also had his own team, the Xiliang soldiers composed of Qiang people were brave and a good source of troops.

Ma Teng couldn't beat Han Sui, so he simply pretended to be brothers and brothers to restrain each other.

Ma Chao looked down on his father because of this: if he can beat him, he will beat him, if he can't beat him, he will admit it readily, and if he wants to save face, he will be a "brother", laughing in front of his face and stabbing him in the back, what is that!

Ma Chao worships the strong and despises these twists and turns.He was also very greedy for the military power in his father's hands, so when Han Sui said to him with ulterior motives, "Nephew, let's work together to make your father retreat", he agreed without blinking an eye.

Then he planned to lead a team of his own soldiers directly into his father's big tent to force the palace. Fortunately, Han Sui stopped him and taught him: just say for your father's birthday, set up a table, everything that should be done Invite everyone you can, and politely invite your father to retire. If he doesn’t agree, you can invite him until he agrees. If it doesn’t work, you can simply let him go offline permanently.In the end, politely ask your father's generals to agree to lead the army. Look how good it is!Everyone is happy.

Ma Chao complied.

Ma Teng was removed from power, and Ma Chao felt so happy to see those generals who usually called uncles and seniors prostrate at his feet.One sentence from him can decide the life of these people, and it can also decide the death of these people!Power is indeed a good thing, no wonder everyone wants it.

As for Ma Teng, he himself resolutely refused to hand over his military power, even with a knife on his neck. According to Han Sui's intention, he would be able to do so with a single click of the knife, and he would never have any future troubles.But Ma Chao instinctively felt that he couldn't do that. He said to Han Sui: "If it were my mothers, I wouldn't hesitate. They would definitely kill them all. I don't feel sorry for them. But my father, that's me. dear father."

The simpler the emotion, the easier it is to be exploited, but at the same time, the more indestructible it is, but I am a fool when I read books. I often make some unbelievable and decisive arguments, and I feel that I am very noble and glamorous. For example, Kong Rong feels that the relationship between mother and child It's like holding an object in a bottle, and when the object is poured out, it has nothing to do with the bottle.

Later, Cao Cao ordered Ma Teng to send the proton to the court as an official. Ma Teng came to discuss with Ma Chao.

Ma Teng simply went to Yecheng by himself, and took his two sons and a nephew with him. Before leaving, he told Ma Chao: This land is entrusted to you, you must guard it.It looked like the seniors were worried about the teachings of the juniors.

Ma Chao looks down on his father even more: P is not even good, and he still has to put on this look!Besides, you wish to stay away from me, so why pretend that father and son love each other so much that you can't bear to part?

After Ma Teng left, Ma Chao admired Han Sui even more.In Ma Chao's eyes, this uncle is smart, ruthless, and capable of fighting!He was so impressed that he was somewhat interested in Han Sui's ideas, so he imitated Han Sui's reading, "Lushi Chunqiu", "Gongyang Biography", "Guliang Biography"...

It is really important to have a guide in reading, otherwise why the role of the teacher has always been respected, because it is easy to read crookedly if you are not careful when reading.Ma Chao likes the stories in his books, and the killings during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods are especially attractive to him, but he has never been interested in reading the historian's comments at the end-who cares to read those sloppy and moral ones.

So Ma Chao knew that a son can force his mother. For example, in Duke Zheng Zhuang, a father can kill a son; Yes, as long as you have the ability.Then, the people who have done these things will all be immortalized.

In the third month of Jian'an, Zhong Yao was ordered by Cao Cao to attack Zhang Lu.

The appointment of Cao Cao is also very interesting. Zhong Yao had persuaded Ma Chao and Han Sui before, so whoever says that Boss Cao is as pure as a little white lotus in this matter must have a serious lack of IQ balance.

Both Ma Chao and Han Sui felt very uneasy, so Ma Chao took the initiative to find Han Sui and suggested that it is better to act first.

Han Sui didn't know what Ma Chao wanted to do. Although he had wanted to do it a long time ago, he was afraid that Ma Chao was testing him, so he declined and asked Ma Chao to think about his father and brother.

Ma Chao disagreed: ""The former Zhong Sili served as Chao's emissary to take the general, and the people of Kanto should not reply.Today Chao abandons his father and regards the general as his father, and the general should also abandon his son and regard Chao as his son. "

The lives of his father and younger brothers were thrown away lightly by Ma Chao.

Han Sui was overjoyed and immediately decided to raise troops.

But Han Sui didn't dare to admit that Ma Chao was his godson. Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu are not far behind, the easier it is to recognize, the easier it is to kill.

Cao Cao was also overjoyed. The two took the initiative to rebel because someone gave them a pillow when they fell asleep. The banner of countering the rebellion was well-organized. What made Cao Cao especially interesting was that even those who countered the rebellion had to find a reason. The rebellious ones didn't think of any reason until they felt at ease.

This rebellion is a little inexplicable.

Cheng Yu felt incredible.

Xun You said that this is normal, those two people don't study, how do they know the importance of "a teacher who is famous".Of course, there is another possibility that the soldiers under their command are all Qiang people from Xiliang who only know how to fight, so they may not understand why the ideological mobilization of fighting is told to them.

Cao Cao thinks the second possibility is better.Then he thought of Xun Yu: "Why hasn't Wen Ruo seen much recently?"

Xun You said, Prime Minister, don't worry, my uncle has already taken care of the logistics so that you will be safe. He himself is taking time to study classics and make incense.

It is normal for Cao Cao to think, Xun Yu is also an elegant person.

Then Cheng Yu reported that since Ma Chao rebelled, Ma Teng and others in Yecheng should be executed according to the law.

Cao Cao easily said that he was not in a hurry, and sent someone to look at them, and then deal with them after I win and return to court, let them live in fear for a few more months, and the rest is more or less a restraint for Ma Chao.

In July, Cao Cao led his army to Tongguan to fight against Ma Chao and Han Sui's allied forces. It was not easy to fight a head-to-head battle. Cao Cao also lost troops in the early stage, but things became easier after understanding the enemy's situation. Cao Cao used a small The anti-indirect strategy disintegrated the alliance between Ma Chao and Han Sui, making them attack each other, and then Cao Cao took advantage of the victory to pursue Ma Chao, and Ma Chao was defeated.

The time before and after did not exceed two months.

The counselors under his command all praised Cao Cao's brilliance, but Cao Cao sighed: If it wasn't for the long distance, I was still eager to fight, thinking of a quick battle, the casualties could have been smaller.

The counselors didn't quite understand.

Cao Cao said that the basis of the anti-intrigue is the mutual distrust between Ma Chao and Han Sui. In fact, based on the virtue of the pure interest alliance of these two people, without my anti-intrigue, they would split sooner or later, or my tactic can wait for them Split more thoroughly before using...

The counselors all praised the prime minister for his brilliance.

Cao Cao looked at the counselors and asked unwillingly: Don't you think all this is familiar?

Silent.

Cao Cao stopped talking, and the moment he turned around, someone saw his expression, very sad.

There is really only one Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao in this world.

Ma Chao retreated to Anding, Cao Cao pursued Anding with the mentality of cutting grass and root, and broke Anding in October.

Ma Chao had no choice but to continue running, and the next destination was Jicheng, Tianshui.

Cao Cao should also continue to pursue Jicheng, but Su Bo of Hejian County also responded to Ma Chao's rebellion at this time. Hejian was much more important than Jicheng, so Cao Cao decided to return to the army.

When Yang Fu was with the army, he came to remonstrate that since he was going on an expedition, he must do everything thoroughly. It is a disaster to keep Ma Chao. Come.So no matter how difficult it is, don't give up halfway.If Cao Cao really can't separate himself, he himself was born in Tianshui Jicheng and is willing to defend the city.

Cao Cao looked at Yang Fu and remembered the expedition to Wuhuan in the 12th year of Jian'an.

There was a man who resisted all opinions and insisted on sending troops. After sending troops, he encouraged Cao Cao to pursue him to the end and insisted on following the army...

That person's life was fixed in Yizhou in September of the 12th year of Jian'an.

So Cao Cao nodded and let Yang Fu let go.

Ma Chao couldn't attack Jizhou for a long time, and the books he had read had worked again—he felt that he was too lonely now, and he couldn't do without foreign aid.

But now looking at the world, who can compete with Cao Cao as his foreign aid?

Sun Quan is too far away, and Liu Bei is too poor.

By the way, didn't Cao Cao say he wanted to beat Zhang Lu from the very beginning?

At the end of November, Zhang Lu sent general Yang Ang to lead troops to help Ma Chao attack Jicheng.

Pang Tong was very happy after Xiao Zuo reported the news that Zhang Lu and Ma Chao had hooked up.

"Kong Ming, do you know what I'm happy about?"

Zhuge Liang smiled, of course she knew.

Zhang Lu had always wanted to attack Chengdu and replace Liu Zhang. His only concern was that there was no general who could lead a strong army on an expedition, so he maintained a certain balance with Liu Zhang.Now that Ma Chao has defected to Zhang Lu, the balance has been broken. Liu Zhang thinks that he is not Zhang Lu's opponent, and he will definitely try to find foreign aid.

Shuzhong is finally no longer a pool of stagnant water. Where there is change, there is opportunity.

Liu Zhang had looked for Cao Cao before, but returned without success, so the possibility of looking for Cao Cao next time is not great.

Liu Bei had a chance.

"I'm going to write a letter to Zhang Biejia in the middle of Shu, promise him a high-ranking official and rich salary, and give him a beautiful woman with gold and beads, reminding him not to forget that he can also tell Liu Zhang to ask the lord for help." Pang Tong was full of confidence.

Zhuge Liang said after a while: "Why is this so? Zhang Song has no choice now. The Lord is the most suitable person to help Liu Zhang against Zhang Lu. Besides Cao Cao, if Zhang Song wants to go to another place, he can only come to the Lord. We can just sit back and wait for Zhang Song to vote by himself. If something happens to Zhang Song in the future, we will be able to retreat, so as not to immediately turn against Liu Zhang—after all, the other party came to ask us for help, not we insisted on it."

Pang Tong smiled and shook his head: "Kong Ming is too upright! This is indeed the best, but there is a problem - if you wait for Zhang Song, when will you wait? What if Zhang Song hesitates and doesn't come? Or Zhang Song really went to Jiangdong Is it possible? It’s not impossible! Instead of waiting, it’s better to take the initiative. In this way, the chances of success are also great. Moreover, we don’t have much time. After Chibi, we agreed with Sun Quan to go west to Yizhou. It's not too late."

Zhuge Liang fell silent.

How could she not understand what Pang Tong said?At the beginning, Longzhong said to Liu Bei through the curtain that although it was not his own originality, the grand strategy of "taking thorns and benefiting" is not bad at all.

But Zhuge Liang's thinking has changed now. She doesn't want to rely solely on tricks to win. That may gain short-term benefits, but it cannot determine the direction of the "potential".

But Zhuge Liang also knew that it was difficult for him to persuade Pang Tong, not to mention that Pang Tong's current status was equal to his own, and he was in charge of military affairs full-time, so he was still busy with internal affairs.All this is so familiar, Zhuge Liang felt as if he had returned to the state when Xu Shu was there in the early 13th year of Jian'an.

Zhuge Liang could only make a final contribution: "Shi Yuan, if you must contact Zhang Song, don't forget that there is another Fazheng."

Pang Tongtong clapped his hands: "Don't tell me, I almost forgot—and Meng Da, he is in charge of the army, and this matter can't be done without his participation."

The author has something to say:

The Zhong Sili mentioned by Ma Chao is Zhong Yao.

The two parties that were allowed to form an alliance fought first-remember Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan?Guo Jijiu is planned to be in Hebei.

Ma Chao is not a good person, he was not a good person in the first place, so he needs to be re-educated. As for who educates him...

Yang Fu is not important, what is important is that he brought out an important person... Tian Shui, does this place sound familiar?

The disagreement between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong laid the groundwork for Liu Bei’s next candidate to enter Sichuan. Of course, Zhuge Liang did not insist on joining the army, which had only a little relationship with Pang Tong’s disagreement with Pang Tong’s philosophy (actually also with Liu Bei’s philosophy), and there was a bigger one. reason……
