Chapter 788 Bi Ma Chao goes home after the war (10)
But now in Jizhou, there are five more counties (countries) than our own side. It can be said that in the past, there was actually not much difference. The power is just a matter of one county (countries), but now it is different. This force has become the Yanzhou army. The Yanzhou army has five more counties (countries) than our own side. This gap is indeed quite large. Ma Chao knows it well, and everyone in Liangzhou army knows it. What does the concept of five counties (countries)? It is definitely more than half a state. This is right. After all, there are only nine in Jizhou.
It’s just counties (countries). Some of them have not yet reached nine counties (countries). This is correct. If there are five counties (countries), there are only five counties (countries). This is correct. If there are Qingzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, there are only six counties (countries). So what does five counties (countries) mean? There is no need to say more about this.
You can tell at a glance that it is true. For the five counties (countries), whether it is placed in the Liangzhou army or the Yanzhou army, for them, it can be said that it is definitely not a small territory, it is not a small force, this is really true. It has been nearly thirty years since the chaos in the world to the present, but to be honest, there have been more princes in the world and even rebelled.
There are not a single uprising, there are so many, but indeed, not many people have five counties (countries), or the above, this is true, it is true, it is true, the three princes are definitely the same today, and in the past, it was still a minority. This is definitely yes, after all, the world is not small, but there are only thirteen states, but the princes are definitely not thirteen, really, many times more than thirteen, so there are so many princes that can occupy
There are not many in the five counties (countries) anyway. It is right. This can actually be said to be more wolves and less meat. This must be. When there were a lot of princes in the world, there were even prefects in various parts of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the territory of the Han Dynasty was not enough for them to divide it, so the war had to continue to be chaotic. Therefore, if there were five counties (countries) princes, it would definitely be
It is famous and surnamed in history. It is true. The five counties (countries) are equivalent to one Xuzhou, so who has the size of Xuzhou? There were not many such princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This must be true. It is just those, more than ten, so that's it. It is true. The princes with such power are basically the governors of the state, so...
After all, there were only thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, which was really good. If there were too many princes like Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, and they would occupy several states at once, then there would be even fewer territory left. So there were more wolves and fewer meat. How many people could occupy five counties (countries), just a dozen. Even if Gongsun Zan died, his territory was occupied by Yuan Shao, and he became the overlord of the four northern states. After he died again, the territory was still not enough, indeed.
However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were more than a dozen princes with more than five counties (countries), which was the same. So there were not so many counties (countries) in the world. At that time, there should have been one hundred and two counties (countries), so the five counties (countries) were equivalent to about one-twentieth. It is indeed impossible to say that there are less, one-twentieth of the Great Han Dynasty. And the Twenty of the Great Han Dynasty.
To be honest, one-part territory is actually quite large, really. It should be said that many people don’t have that big place, so this is still the case. So even now, the territory of these five counties (countries) is not small at all. Whether it is Ma Chao or Cao Cao, whether it is Liangzhou Army or Yanzhou Army, they don’t think there is less, really. Of course, if you look at it carefully, it is not counted as states, but only count counties (countries), in fact, Liangzhou Army is more than Yanzhou.
The army must occupy three more counties (countries), but if it is considered to be a county and county, then the Yanzhou army has five more counties (countries) than the Liangzhou army. Isn’t that the case? So this is the case now. From the perspective of the state and county power, Ma Chao felt that his side had no advantage, but he had it. Now, for the prefecture and county power, the Yanzhou army is more powerful. Of course, if it is strength, it has to be said that his side is stronger. Indeed, don’t look at his side’s defeat in the Jizhou war before, but that’s not that his side’s strength is not as strong as the Yanzhou army, yes,
In Jizhou, our strength is not as good as them, but overall, our strength must be better than them. Indeed, if it is not our strength, perhaps the Yanzhou army is coming to attack again, and this is not impossible. In any case, in Ma Chao's opinion, as long as there are more soldiers in Yanzhou, they will definitely attack, like before.
That way. Of course, before Cao Cao's Yanzhou army fought against Jizhou, it was not that he took the initiative, but that he was. The Yanzhou army had a clear intention, that was, that he wanted his territory in Jizhou, so. They tried their best to occupy their own place, and their purpose, it must be said that in the end, it was achieved, which was good. Of course, there was still a gap with their most ideal result.
This is indeed. It occupies four counties (countries) and two counties. No matter how you say it, there is a gap. It is true. Yes, four and two, the latter is only half of the former, not. So the Yanzhou Army did not achieve its ideal goal, but it is indeed true that it is good for them to know that it is still good. If that is the case, more of it is a luxury. So, Cao Cao and Yanzhou Army have occupied two counties (countries), and they are indeed full.
If you think about it, you won’t think too much. In fact, Cao Cao/they have thought about it. After taking over the two counties (countries) of Liangzhou Army, and wanting Changshan and Zhongshan, Ma Chao and others will not agree. It depends on his previous leadership of troops to intercept him. It is not difficult to know one or two. Indeed, this has always been, Cao Cao/they know too much about what Ma Chao means, and Ma Chao
They also knew the intentions of Cao Cao and Yanzhou Army. This must be true. So they have always been each other and everyone knows who. The Liangzhou Army lacked tens of thousands of people because there was no one to be transferred, which gave Yanzhou Army an advantage. They directly took away the two counties (countries) of the Liangzhou Army in Jizhou. This is indeed an absolute shame.
Yes, the Liangzhou Army and the others never thought that it was a good thing. They were all like this. The Yanzhou Army felt that it was all good, but they were all like this. It was really. The Liangzhou Army was not good, but they thought it was good. If the Liangzhou Army was good, it was naturally they thought it was bad, but they didn't always do this. This is right. Ma Chao invited everyone in the Ma family to a dinner party. After that, he didn't say much, but also mentioned a few words. The Ma family must not only rely on their own efforts in the future, but also everyone here must do their best.
Naturally, people agreed in unison. After all, Ma Chao's status is not only the head of the Ma family, but also the King of Liang. No one can underestimate this. Today, there are only three kings of the opposite sex. There were also a king in Liaodong before, but it was quickly destroyed, which was not recognized by the court. Now, the King of Liang in his own side and the King of Wu in Sun Ce in Jiangdong are not recognized by the court.
But it's not like Liaodong. You don't have much strength, and in the end you can only say that everyone wants to deal with you, and they want to get a share of the pie. But you have the strength, even if it is not recognized by the court or not, in the end, there is no way. The people in the world still know it, and they will be done with it. At least now, in addition to the King of Wei recognized by the court, there are King Liang of Ma Chao and King of Wu of Sun Ce, who are actually recognized by the people of the world. This is indeed true, that's it.
If you have strength, even if the court does not admit it, it actually doesn't matter much. After all, even the Han Dynasty is about to be destroyed, so... But if you don't have much strength, and if you catch up with the court, you will be stupid, this must be, for example, the most typical Yuan Shu, he is like that, indeed. So that's the lesson. In addition to being stupid like Yuan Shu, which prince dares to be emperor so much? In history, Cao Pi had to abdicate the Emperor of Han, which is a must
Isn't it just that Dong Zhuo was so cruel at that time. If he wanted to usurp the throne, he had to let the emperor abdicate, instead of saying that he would directly abolish the emperor. So this is the same. They all have to do that. Then, you, an ordinary prince, dare to call yourself the emperor? You are really brave. The key is that who will admit it except you, who will admit it? Really, this
That's the fundamental thing. No matter what you think, if you unify the Han Dynasty, you don't need the emperor to abdicate you, and you will directly destroy the other party. There is no problem at all. After all, your strength is there, not to mention that even the people have to admit your rule, and the aristocratic families, let alone. Speaking of which, the people are fence-bearing, this is right, but the aristocratic families
People, those aristocratic families, powerful landlords, wealthy businessmen, and tycoons, can be said to be able to change their minds, so... there is no dynasty for thousands of years, but there is a thousand-year-old family. How to say this? If they have not had any ability in troubled times, then they probably have no such words. Indeed, if not, just talk about the ability to protect themselves. Top families and big families are still OK. Ma Chao believes it. Really, so they are better than the common people. You have to admit that at least in troubled times, they are old people.
There are many casualties among the surnames, or the many casualties among the great clans of their aristocratic families. This should be easy to think of. If the great clans of the aristocratic families suffer such great losses, then it is not them. This is also good. No matter how hard the common people cannot compare with the great clans of their aristocratic families, this must be, or it cannot be compared. And if they really don’t even have ordinary people, they are not even ordinary people.
If so, that would be interesting. So this is the same, not that interesting. Of course, if there are also families that have been destroyed, there are large and small, then there are still some. It is normal. If there are no words, they will definitely never be destroyed. It is hard to say. Indeed, it may be true that it will be like that at any time or on the other day, so this is actually...
After all, what are the aristocratic families like? Can Ma Chao still not know? What are the common people? How can he not understand? So this is true. This is really different, that is different, that is. How can those aristocratic families be the same as the people, even worse than them? That is impossible. After the dinner, Ma Chao, the head of the family, personally sent the Ma family out of the living room. He was not the one who gave out a few out of the house as King Liang, but just the people of the Ma family, the head of the Ma family, this identity.
After seeing off a few people, Ma Chao finally sent off his mother. Of course, she also lived in the Liang Palace, so she actually went to her own residence after a while, which was not far away. So he didn't have to worry about anything, and this mansion could be said to be a very safe place, so this must be. To be honest, I am better than the palace or something.
It's much more strict, so it must be true. How can Ma Chao not know? Indeed, he still watches the defense of this mansion. After all, he has watched too many TV series and movies. Even if Ma Chao doesn't think that assassination can come to him, he really has to be careful. It's true. In terms of his martial arts, even if someone comes to assassinate today, the most important thing is
Basically, they can only return without success, which is the best result. Indeed. If it is not good, they will lose their lives directly. That is true. It is true. But he is fine and he has nothing to worry about, but his wife, of course, also includes his mother. They really have no martial arts skills, so if they don’t take good care of it, how can it be done? It’s really not possible. This is also good, really. Therefore, the defense in the Liang Palace is not just about iron buckets.
It's like that, but it's almost the same. This is the case. Ma Chao gave his soldiers the death order to surround the mansion. That's it. So in such a place, unless a master like his teacher Nanhua came over, even Lu Bu would have to be resentful. After all, Ma Chao had prepared a lot of bows and crossbows, all of which were strong bows.
The hard crossbow has never been stingy at all, and I am worried that someone will come here. If that happens, there will be a problem. It is true, but fortunately, it has nothing to do over the years.
