Chapter 58: Ma Chao's Five-Piece Trip (117)

Liu Biao, especially when he was young, Ma Chao admitted that he had good skills, but if he was alone, he would not play anything. Many Liu Biao still had to rely on local aristocratic families in Jingzhou, especially those like the Cai family, Kuai family, Huang family, etc., so he could gain a foothold in Jingzhou. Everyone knows that Liu Biao is not the only one who has the final say in Jingzhou, and Cai Mao has a lot of power. So Liu Biao in Jingzhou is a little capable, and Ma Chao did not deny it, but he still had to rely on many local big locals.

It would be better for him to use his clan, that's it. Indeed, after all, the local aristocratic family in Jingzhou is still very strong, and Ma Chao also knew it. Just when Liu Biao rode alone into Jingzhou alone, even if he had great skills, he would not be able to say that he did not rely on the local power of Jingzhou. Not to mention him, Ma Chao would not work, but it was just a matter of how much he relied on.

It was what Ma Chao thought. Just like one side, there was a place to compromise with the aristocratic families, but it was not enough to let them have the final say. It was definitely not yet. Both sides were using each other and needed each other. However, the power was definitely Ma Chao, and it would not be the aristocratic families. And in the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, it was actually similar, and there was not much area.

No. Indeed, it is actually not very different from the Liangzhou army. Cao Cao and Sun Ce and others don’t want to be too restricted by the aristocratic families, so they make the decision, but there is still a place to cooperate with the aristocratic families, and there is no difference between the Liangzhou army, or the Liangzhou army and they are no different from them. So this is the mainstream. After Ma Chao praised Huang Zhong, he returned home with Guo Jia and the others. After all, it was only the first day, so it doesn’t have to say so much. Moreover, Huang Zhong is so old, Ma Chao actually intends to let him rest early.

This is indeed true. But you don’t have to worry. It seems that Huang Zhong is not that late to rest. Of course, if there is something wrong in Jingzhou, he will definitely not rest. If the Jiangdong Army comes here to attack, then no matter how much you want to rest, it will be useless in the end. To be honest, it is true, at least Ma Chao knows Huang Zhongqi

A person's personality must not be resting at critical moments, but it is still not true. However, if the Jiangdong Army came to attack, I don't believe so much about this. If there is really a war, it should be the one who attacks them. This is definitely not that Ma Chao looks down on them, but that's the truth. Isn't it? If the Jiangdong Army has that strength, it's not just that.

It occupied two counties in Jingzhou. Yes, you should know how much did the Jiangdong army pay for these two counties? Indeed, even Ma Chao also thought that it was really what the Jiangdong army deserved, yes. The Yanzhou army had a little advantage before, but because of the battle with them, even Nanyang was not defended and they were completely forced to retreat to Jingzhou. Of course, this is also Ma Chao's thoughts all the time. Look at him, he has not said anything to the two counties in Jingzhou occupied by the Jiangdong army, but the Yanzhou army occupied it.

For him, half of Nanyang must find a way to attack them from the territory of Nanyang. Indeed, in his opinion, the Yanzhou army occupied Nanyang, although it was only half, but the threat was greater than that of the Jiangdong army. Although the latter had two counties in Jingzhou, it was not actually the case. If we just talk about the number of counties, then we occupied more counties in Jingzhou.

Ma Chao dared not say that he had an absolute advantage in Jingzhou. At least before, the Yanzhou army occupied half of Nanyang, with 100,000 troops, and the Jiangdong army occupied two counties, Ma Chao really didn't dare to say anything. But now he forced the Yanzhou army to have a sphere of influence, which made Ma Chao very satisfied and happy, even if he had suffered so many casualties. But that's right. There is no undead war. War has always been cruel, not a child playing house, so this...

It was another good night to rest. In the morning, Huang Zhong accompanied his lord and the others to eat, and Ma Chao and the others went out again. Today, he naturally walked through the main places that he had not moved yesterday, and that was it. Yesterday had been moving for a day, so today was even smoother. Just walk through the important places that he had not moved yesterday, and it was enough to walk through the most important places that he had not moved yesterday. To talk about the entire Xiangyang City, it was indeed not small, but the five people walked through the most important places, so there was no problem in two days.

If Ma Chao hadn't stayed here for a few more days, then one day would have been solved, and it was no big deal. Xiangyang's business is also developed, not only with the specialty characteristics of Jingzhou, but also with the war horses of Yizhou, Sili, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and even Liangzhou. Ma Chao saw it. So indeed, Xiangyang is much more prosperous than Nanzheng, at least there are Liangzhou's place.

When the war horses were waiting, Ma Chao knew that it was too difficult to get it. Although there were not many, it was definitely a hot item. Even if it was not bought by the Jiangdong army, it would definitely be bought by people from the aristocratic families. They were not short of money. Sure enough, not long after, the high-quality war horses were sold. Ma Chao also knew that no matter how much he controlled this, there were still high-quality war horses in Liangzhou.

It is not a rare thing to leak out. I can only say that our side has strict supervision, so it is certain that the leak is a minority, which is certain, but Ma Chao knows that this is really impossible. After all, many of the horse farms in Liangzhou belong to the Liangzhou army, but other aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen also have horse farms. For those, the Liangzhou army actually has no choice. But one thing is certain, the war horses in Liangzhou have arrived in other states, and the price will be doubled, but it is almost the same

It's really valuable, so how can Ma Chao manages others? Ma Chao can only say that he manages his own horse farm, which belongs to the Liangzhou army's industry. Even if he cooperates with the Liangzhou army, he doesn't mean that he will definitely listen to the Liangzhou army. Of course, there is one thing that is right, even if the sold war horses are in fact a minority, or there are not many. After all, the horse farm needs it

Relying on Liangzhou, this Liangzhou can be said to be the rear of the Liangzhou army. Ma Chao attaches great importance to it. So if you really mess with someone in this place, the consequences will be unimaginable. The aristocratic families still remember the Hanzhong family that was destroyed by Ma Chao's Liangzhou army, so they are also worried. They know that they can't pass it, just about the same, but Ma Chao's bottom line,

No matter how you say it, it's okay. So they all know how to do it, so that they can get the greatest benefits, and not offend Ma Chao and make them feel at ease. So, this aristocratic family, wealthy businessmen, and those who run the horse farms do have a trick, at least they won't make Ma Chao feel that it's time to eradicate them. At least they haven't made them feel dissatisfied with anything, and they are still within the scope they can accept. I have to say that what they did is indeed making Ma Chao unable to say anything. Of course, after all

Ma Chao is the leader of the Liangzhou army and is the boss. So he really wants to deal with them. As long as he just needs to make a random crime, it will be enough to kill them. But can Ma Chao do that? It's really not possible. If he really does that, it will only have more harm. It's obvious that the harm outweighs the benefits, so it's not possible. Therefore, whether it's Ma Chao or Cao Cao and Sun Ce, it should be

When you compromise, you compromise. Unless you should be tough, you will definitely not be soft. Indeed, at least, whether it is Ma Chao or Cao Cao and Sun Ce, they have destroyed the aristocratic families. Even if that is not top-notch, is that important? It is really not that important. As long as it can shock them and prevent them from having more ideas, it is enough. At least from now on, the effect is really good. At least Ma Chao and Cao Cao and Sun Ce are both satisfied. It is correct to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

After all, no matter how strong the aristocratic families are, one or two, they will never talk about the opponents of the princes. This is definitely yes. As for the previous words, if they are united... Anyway, there must be no one at this time, and it will not be. The princes are not the enemy of the aristocratic families. There are conflicts, that is true, but in fact, there are still times when each other needs and must be necessary, this is the fundamental. If it is just a blind detriment, then something will happen, but now, there is nothing big. The princes cannot destroy them.

The latter cannot destroy the former, so it is said that it is. Both sides know what it is, so no one will move. This is different from the alien race, very different. At least the alien race is the enemy, and the aristocratic race is all their own people, that's it. This can be said to be the fundamental. If the aristocratic race is also an alien race, then Ma Chao will definitely have another one.

It's not like this. Speaking of which, Ma Chao wants to stay with the alien race, but he hasn't reached that level yet, and that's the case. The alien race is not a great family. If they are not a foreign race, they are just Han people, even if they have the strength, Ma Chao will only treat Cao Cao and Sun Ce, but they will be different from the other races after all. Ma Chao doesn't want to say,

If it is not my race, their hearts must be different, but this makes sense. And he knows that, even if it is a foreign race, they all think so. After all, in their eyes, the Han people are also foreign races. But they are not as many Han people as there are, nor the wisdom of Han people. Otherwise, it would be terrible. They all meet these two conditions without having to say one at once. Either they are more people than Han people, or they are more intelligent than Han people, even if they do not surpass Han people, they are almost the same. They are really that way.

If you say that, it will change. It is not Ma Chao's alarmist at all. History has told us that even if the Han people are still more than foreign races, even if the Han people still have wisdom that is inferior to them, the final result is really almost the same, right? So, Ma Chao knows what this is and how history is, and he can't help but pay attention to it. But even if it pays attention, in fact

Ma Chao didn't think there was too much change. He could only say that it might be a little stronger than history. He had to work harder, which is certain. Therefore, no matter how you say it, it would be a good end to the current situation of three parts of the world as soon as possible. It would be better than anything else. It can be said that the sooner the world is unified, the more benefits it will be for one side. Ma Chao is naturally very clear, but now

It's really not easy. Ma Chao is really satisfied with Xiangyang today. He can see that Huang Zhong has done his best. For a pure general who is not very good at governing counties and counties, he is not capable of being the governor of the prefecture, but it depends on what aspect. At least in terms of force, Ma Chao believes very much. Even if the Jiangdong Army soldiers are approaching, Huang Zhong, the so-called governor of Jingzhou, can protect two counties, no problem. Others have to be reinforcements from his own side.

In other words, Ma Chao is naturally very relieved to defend his home in terms of force and trust him. But when it comes to governing counties, Huang Zhong cannot say that he doesn't know anything about it, but indeed, how much can he do? It's okay if you ask him to lead troops to fight, defend the city, etc., but if he is asked to govern prefectures and counties, wouldn't he be blind? Ma Chao knows it. So he is full of situation now.

I was very happy. In the next four hours, Ma Chao turned back to the provincial capital mansion. It was almost the same in Xiangyang, and it was time to go out of the city to see it tomorrow. Although Ma Chao and the others have been to Xiangyang, they have not even stayed here, but let them go to the surrounding area to see it. That is indeed not true. Back to the provincial capital mansion, this provincial capital mansion should be said to be a very formal provincial capital mansion.

But there is no provincial governor recognized by the court. After all, the governor of Jingzhou asked Cao Cao to the Jiangdong Army, so there was no Liangzhou Army. Speaking of which, Cao Cao had occupied half of Nanyang before, but Cao Cao didn't say that he was so shameless and gave him a Jingzhou governor. That's really not. Ma Chao thought that Li Zongwu's words were quite reasonable, and that was Liu Bei, and Cao Cao was dark, which was the big difference between the two. Ma Chao thought that if Liu Bei was in Cao Cao's position, he would probably occupy half of Jingzhou counties.

Even if he occupied a county, he could give the governor of Jingzhou to them, but Cao Cao could not do it. On the contrary, Cao Cao was evil, so there was no need to say that he could indeed be regarded as a traitor in troubled times, not everyone could compare to him, and Liu Bei was not so dark. Many times, he still had a positive image. At least in the eyes of the people, Emperor Liu was better than Cao Cao.
