The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

When Ma Chao appeared under the city of Chengdu, Liu Zhang was not so foolish as to think that he was his own rescuer.

If he really came to save himself, Liu Bei would be so easy-going to let him pass through his defense zone swaggeringly?This is not scientific.

Sure enough, Ma Chao told Liu Zhang sternly that he had turned his back on the dark side. Liu Zhang had better be sensible and open the door immediately. If he felt dissatisfied and wanted to fight, then Ma Chao's army could attack the city without Liu Bei's army.

At this time, if Liu Zhang was talking about his family, he could still fight a dozen. Chengdu had [-] elite soldiers and a few generals who decorated the facade, and their morale was not low.There is no shortage of food in Chengdu. This place is a land of abundance. The microclimate is in a mess, neither drought nor waterlogging, and there is plenty every year. Didn’t you say that there are two good places for food production that everyone envies? One is Jingzhou, half belongs to Liu Bei and half belongs to Sun Quan. There is another one, it is here.

But Liu Zhang was discouraged. He felt that he was useless: Zhang Lu rebelled, and he couldn't handle it; he asked Cao Cao for foreign aid, but failed; Give Ma Chao to Liu Bei.He felt that he was pretty good to his subordinates, but when his subordinates surrendered or lost battles, Zhang Song, who was once the most trusted, sold him more aggressively than anyone else.What is this all about?

Faced with Huang Quan and others' persuasion to accept the challenge, Liu Zhang waved his hand. He had listened to too many other people's ideas, and this time he decided to make his own decisions: "Father and son have been in the state for more than [-] years, and they have no kindness to the people. The people have fought for three years. Those who anoint the grass and fields with their muscles, because of Yizhang, how can they be at ease?"

When Liu Zhang surrendered and opened the city gate, Ma Chao naturally didn't dare to accept the seals and ribbons by himself, so Liu Bei had to lead people to accept them all.

Liu Bei paid more attention to two things. One was that Liu Zhang handed over the official seal and books of Yizhou Mu, including the seal and ribbon of General Zhenwu; the other was to find a place for Liu Zhang to settle down. He thought that no one saw the old ministers behind him whose tears were still wet, all of them were very loyal to the old master. After all, Liu Zhang was not a cruel master who harmed the people, and he was quite popular here.

Zhuge Liang’s priorities are different from those of Liu Bei. She has already arranged tasks for her subordinates, civil and military officers, but Ma Chao did not accept the tasks. Ma Chao also understood that, and followed Zhuge Liang’s orders to pull the troops he brought to a fixed place outside the city to station. Well, he was walking around the city of Chengdu cautiously and a little awkwardly, looking at what other people were doing.

"What are you shaking?"

Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun who was holding a big box with a few small soldiers behind him, stood in front of him with a frown and asked him, not knowing how to answer: "Ah... my lord, no, the military advisor! Yes, the military advisor asked me to... Uh, I didn't let me..."

Zhao Yun glanced at Ma Chao: "He's quite tall, not to mention helping with the work, but he doesn't know what he's doing there."

"Uh...I..." Ma Chao also felt embarrassed, and reached out to grab something in Zhao Yun's hand, "Let me help you."

Zhao Yun moved away, a little impatient: "I still need your help with this little thing? Why don't you have the eyes to see who can't carry it behind?"

Ma Chao scratched his head, and finally grabbed several large bundles of bamboo slips from a small soldier's box and held them in his arms.

"What are you guys up to?" Ma Chao asked as he followed Zhao Yun.

"The collection of classics is moved out of the treasury and sent to the military adviser." Zhao Yun gave Ma Chao a strange look, "I just received it. Of course, I need to sort out the household registration and population information in Chengdu."

"What's there to tidy up?" Ma Chao was even more surprised than Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao like a monster: "This is very important, okay! If you don't organize it, how can you know the basic situation of Chengdu? For example, who are the big households in the city, how many people are there? Land distribution, population income, etc."

"Know what this is for?"

Zhao Yun thought that this person came from Zenith: "No way! Haven't you conquered a city before? Don't you have to do this? If you don't have this information, how do you know how much to recruit and how much to tax?"

"I still have to do this." Ma Chao was a little embarrassed, he had never done this before.

"You haven't done this before? Then who will handle these things after you conquered the city?"

"I haven't dealt with it..." Ma Chao tried to recall, "I don't go to these places, they probably all burned down."

"What!" Zhao Yun stopped in his tracks.Ma Chao stopped and looked at Zhao Yun's flushed face inexplicably.

"You...reckless!"

Angrily, Zhao Yun snatched the bamboo slips from Ma Chao's arms and threw them into his own box. After leaving this sentence, he ignored Ma Chao and left with the soldiers.

Ma Chao froze on the spot, completely unable to understand what happened.

After Zhao Yun handed everything over to Zhuge Liang, he received a new mission. When he came out, he saw Ma Chao standing outside waiting. As soon as Ma Chao saw her, he greeted her: "General Zhao..."

"What are you doing?" Zhao Yun didn't like to talk to him.

"Is there anything else you need my help with..."

"The military adviser asked me to help Mr. Sun Qian check the treasury. If you are free, come here!"

Ma Chao obediently followed behind Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun felt awkward looking at him, and remembered what he said before: "You really didn't participate in the household registration?"

"No."

"No one ever told you to do this?"

"No."

"Then have you ever read a book? Do you know how to read?"

"For those who can read, I read, and Han Sui likes to read. I also read to learn from him."

"Historical Records, Hanshu, have you read it?"

"Look." Speaking of this Ma Chao was a little proud, "More than that, Zuo Zhuan, age and so on."

"Then you always know Xiao He."

"I know, I know! But I never understood why Gao Zu thought he had the most credit. Isn't the Marquis of Huaiyin the one with the most credit?" Ma Chao showed a confused expression.

"When Gaozu entered Xianyang, the first thing Xiao He did was to accept the laws and books collected by Prime Minister Qin and Yushifu, and to grasp the national mountains and rivers, the county and county household registration. You should know this."

Ma Chao frowned: "What else?"

"You don't even know this? Haven't you read Shiji Hanshu?" Zhao Yun seemed to understand a little bit.

"It seems to have this... I don't remember it. I mainly watch the Marquis of Huaiyin. It's a great idea to sing Chuge in Gaixia!" Speaking of Han Xin's strategy, Ma Chao was a little excited.

Zhao Yun stopped and looked at Ma Chao. Ma Chao didn't know what happened, so he also stopped and stared blankly at Zhao Yun.

"Do you remember what happened to Han Xin later? He died." Zhao Yun said, "It will not end well."

Ma Chao listened.

But Zhao Yun stopped talking, turned his head and continued walking.

Counting the finances was the most troublesome thing. Zhao Yun was not good at accounting, so Sun Gan didn't make it difficult for her, so he let her sit behind and watch, and at most let her soldiers help move things.

Ma Chao also sat down, chatting with Zhao Yun.

"There are really a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass here."

"Are you thinking that if it's you again, you must snatch them away or burn them with a fire?"

"No..." Ma Chao said embarrassingly. He used to lead people directly to start a robbery. Who would be patient to count.

"That horse is so skinny, it won't be able to carry much food and grass..." Ma Chao suddenly saw an old and skinny horse brought in by the soldier, which was shedding badly.

"It's not for carrying grain and grass. It was arranged by the military adviser. Let it eat grain and grass to test poison. If Liu Zhang secretly poisons these grains and grass, we don't know it. If it is distributed to soldiers or civilians, people will die." Zhao Yun He explained without raising his head.

Ma Chao was silent for a long time: "I never thought about these things before. The food and grass I grabbed would either be burned or distributed directly to my subordinates. I didn't even think about whether it was poisonous. If someone died of poisoning, I think it was just his misfortune." .”

"You are the commander in chief, how can you take the lives of your subordinates so seriously?"

"In your words - you know how I am now. From inheriting my father's position as the Lord of Xiliang, to fighting Cao Cao, attaching to Zhang Lu, and now following the emperor's uncle..."

"It's getting worse and worse." Zhao Yun concluded.

Ma Chao admitted: "Yes."

"Are you dissatisfied?"

"Before I said that to you, yes."

Zhao Yun stretched out his arm and punched Ma Chao on the chest: "Be careful with what you say. Some things can't be said even if you think about it. Do you think it's a good thing to be straightforward? Do you know that being too honest is like giving someone a handle, and others want to protect you? It's all difficult."

Zhao Yun is sunny, but it doesn't mean she lacks a heart.Being frank doesn’t mean you have to say everything. Zhuge Liang once reminded Zhao Yun with a brilliant metaphor: “In this world, there are always some things that can be said but not done, such as killing people; there are also some things that can be done. But you can't say it, such as going to bed."

A soldier sorted out half-slip and broken books from the corner of the wall, and brought them to Sun Gan to deal with. Sun Gan said that someone brought them in to read them before, and they discarded them in the corner. They did not belong to the treasury. Bar.The little soldier came to ask Zhao Yun again, and Zhao Yun squinted his eyes to see the words "Zuoshi Chunqiu" on the front of the bamboo slips: "Give it to me, don't worry about it."

The little soldier ran away, Zhao Yun patted the book with a thick layer of dust, Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun's serious expression, and wondered if he hadn't read it, but listening to what Zhao Yun talked to him before, it didn't look like it.He hesitated again and again, but still asked, "Have you seen it?"

"What? Oh, you said this book, I've read it, but it's incomplete." Zhao Yun didn't lie, she remembered that in the high school textbook, at least when the teacher taught "Zhuang Gong Ke Duan Yu Yan", she was so excited, and even The whole class was delighted, and the school also held a short drama competition for this purpose, encouraging students to perform these ancient prose as sketches.Zhao Yun’s class acted in this segment at the time, but it didn’t win an award. No.1 was also the same play. It couldn’t help that the actor was chosen well. At that time, the actor who played Zhuang Gong was called Sima... What happened to Sima, Zhao Yun couldn’t remember.

"At the beginning, Duke Wu of Zheng married Yu Shen, named Wu Jiang." Zhao Yun read the first sentence fluently, so familiar that it was hard to forget.

"I've read this. I know it too." Ma Chao leaned forward, "I admire Duke Zhuang the most. Uncle Duan is too stupid and deserves to be kicked out. His mother is also a person who doesn't know. But I don't understand why he still has to dig a spring later. Wouldn't it be good to just kill that poisonous woman when we meet each other?"

"Didn't the last sentence explain why?"

"And...the last sentence?" Ma Chao was not sure.

Zhao Yun felt speechless, and unfolded it for him to read: "You haven't read the whole thing, have you?"

That's right, Ma Chao used to skip this kind of content directly, and the study of ideological artistry is not as interesting as directly reading the story.

"The gentleman said: 'Ying Kao Shu, pure filial piety, loves his mother, and gives to Zhuang Gong. "Poetry" says: "There is no shortage of filial piety, and Yongxier is like it." It is so called.'" Ma Chao read it again, Looking up at Zhao Yun: "What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, everyone must be a good and filial child in order to be happy." Zhao Yun sighed.

"So then Zhuang Gong became a dutiful son? His mother also forgave him? Is this very important?" Ma Chao found this kind of content very novel for the first time, and also... very confused.

"You read it yourself! I'm not a teacher! I have to explain to you! I'm almost busy here and I have to go back to the military division!" Zhao Yun was not impatient, but that work like lecturing was not her forte. Item, she couldn't stand it.

But Ma Chao was serious.

Zhuge Liang has recently been dissatisfied with Zhao Yun, very dissatisfied, deeply dissatisfied.

Because Zhao Yun made her trouble.

Ma Chao took the fragment of "Zuo Zhuan" that Zhao Yun threw to him and found it from a corner, and began to read it carefully. This time, he read it verbatim. If he felt confused, he asked Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun said that I want to train soldiers. You go to ask the military division? The military division knows a lot, so Ma Chao really went to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang thought, am I a tutor?

Besides, Zhao Xiaoyun, you don’t look at the tattered teaching aids you recommend, there are rats gnawed out of them, one hole after another, the big holes are accompanied by small holes, and the pierced holes are accompanied by unworn holes .Teaching supplementary books with missing characters, typos, and missing characters are still pirated copies that are firmly cracked down by national laws. How dare you ask the other party to ask me about such things?What is it that "Your taste is Jinjun's cave, Xu Jun's Jiaodong, the dynasty is rich and the evening is the cave, and the king's cave is also", listen to it, is this what people read!

In the end, Zhuge Liang retaliated against him in his own way, and openly sent a red-headed document to Zhao Yun, telling her that the arduous and meaningful historical mission of educating Ma Chao fell on her shoulders. Time-limited locations, on the basis of not affecting their own work, encourage employees to realize self-worth in various forms.

Let us congratulate General Zhao for being an engineer of the human soul.

The pointer of time points to Jian'an for 20 years.

Zhang Lu heard that Ma Chao had surrendered.

Not only did he hear about it, Cao Cao also heard about it.

In March, Cao Cao personally led an army of [-] to attack Hanzhong.

This is the rhythm of "killing you while you are sick".Perhaps Duke Wei has also learned the lessons of the past - it is really not a good idea to go directly south to attack Sun Quan. So far, he has never taken advantage of it... Then change the route to attack Shu, starting from the gate of Hanzhong.Anyway, if it is really necessary to unify, these two places will eventually be taken over, and the order does not matter much.

I have to say that Boss Cao was really enlightened. This time he chose the most successful unification route in history-first take Sichuan and then cross the Yangtze River.This route is even more against the sky than the unification from north to south - because at least in the feudal dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was a special case of unification from south to north, and the precedent of skipping Sichuan and directly crossing the river for unification did not appear until modern times - " A million soldiers cross the river", students who think of this, congratulations, you got the answer right.

While Cao Cao was planning, Liu Bei was also staring at Hanzhong, a "ground that must be contested by military strategists."

Regardless of whether you eat it in your mouth or not, it is right to row on your own territory first.

Cao Cao may be determined to win, but there are people who are more ambitious than him.But they are not looking at Hanzhong.

Guan Ren once said, "The moon reflects off the fire, and the sun shines on the Red River." "The catastrophe should be next year."

Guo Xu looked at Zhen Shi, Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhi, and Wu Zhi looked at Ding Yi.

Zhang Chunhua proudly ordered someone to tell Sima Yi: Congratulations, my wife is pregnant.

The author has something to say:

... nothing to say.
