Chapter 596: Li Ru's Poison Scheme


If in normal times, there are a few things that can defeat those guys who are a little smart but always have their tails raised, Ma Chao will be very happy.

But today is different.

Next year's three consecutive attacks are like three mountains, weighing on Ma Chao's heart, so that he has no intention of watching the three people's jokes.

Fortunately, those who can leave their names in history are not all bad people who only leave behind a reputation for arrogance.

Just when Ma Chao was feeling disheartened, he saw only one person coming out of the court.

The person who Ma Chao thought was a talented person in internal affairs was actually Li Ru, a guy who had been criticized a lot in history.

After Li Ru pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "My lord, even though a skilled person in humble positions is conducting military operations, he thought about it carefully and realized that the solution to this famine and natural disaster can be found in Yi." between " "Oh, how can you say this?"

Ma Chao was stunned and looked around.

All the civil servants in the hall were also confused.

"What I mean is that it is not difficult to get through next year's difficulties.

The difficulty lies in the future."

Li Ru cupped his hands and said, "Although I don't know what the tax revenue of Yongzhou will be this year, I think there must be a lot of savings."

And this matter is called The reason for the dilemma is that if the victims are ignored, they will definitely rise up and if they are rescued, the entire Ma family may also starve to death with them.

If you think about it carefully, you may only be able to survive this crisis. way" After all, it turned out that I was worried about bringing down the Ma family.

Ma Chao shook his head tiredly.

It was not that he had not estimated the consequences.

According to the most conservative estimates, Ma Chao and a group of internal affairs experts believe that the Ma family needs at least two to three years of rest and recuperation.

And if this is really the case, the Kanto area may have undergone tremendous changes by then, and the little historical advantage he knows will be taken advantage of by Liu Xie However, after hearing that Li Ru had another way to solve the problem, Ma Chao still had high hopes and couldn't help but ask: "As long as Ma Chao can get through this difficulty smoothly, Wen You will be the biggest contributor to the Ma family."

However, after Li Ru heard the words, he did not show any expression of joy.

Instead, he cautiously told Ma Chao in advance: "The method mentioned by this humble position may not be in line with the lord's wishes.

If there is anything radical, I hope the lord will not blame him."

"But it doesn't matter."

After hearing what Li Ru said, Ma Chao actually had no expectations anymore.

But he was so sick that he sought medical treatment, but he couldn't help but respond like this.

"The humble official thought that the Ma family could gather the young and strong, dismiss the old and weak, form a large army, send troops to Luoyang, and then drive into Guandong."

When Li Ru said this strategy, a cold and stern light flashed in his eyes, which made people In an instant, he remembered that he was the poisonous man who poisoned the late emperor and destroyed the old capital of Luoyang with just a few words.

After Ma Chao heard this strategy, he couldn't laugh or cry.

He never expected that this guy Li Ru could actually come up with such a deviant plan to hurt others and himself.

He thought he was cruel enough, but he never thought that a weak guy like Li Ru would treat human life as nothing more than he did.

"My lord does not know something.

He is in a humble position and has a humble background.

He understands the nature of the victims best.

In the face of hunger, those victims have no humanity at all, and they do not stick together to help each other.

They either rely on their clans or their regions to live in separate groups, and they have never shared the same fate.

They share the same spirit, and even because of the food Because of the lack of food, they are more hostile to each other.

Killing other disaster victims, such as slaughtering animals."

At this point, Li Ru suddenly felt that he might be a little too nostalgic and deviated from the topic, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Therefore, the meaning of humble duty is that some people have done it.

It can be divided and conquered, using grain and grass as bait to absorb the young and strong.”

"Wen You, be careful."

Before Ma Chao spoke, Yang Fu couldn't help but stood up suddenly and said in a serious tone, "Slaughtering the people will be condemned by thousands of people.

Don't mention this matter before it is a matter of life and death.

If the swords are opened, what will happen to the great man in the future?"

How do millions of people view our Ma family and what the history books say?

Where will the Ma family and others be?"

What Yang Fu said was actually quite polite.

Cai Yong on the side seemed a little slow in his movements, but his expression was so angry that he wanted to curse.

However, before he could stand up, he saw Ma Chao's cold and stern eyes coming towards him, and he asked: "Master Yue Zhang, do you have any good ideas?

If you just deny Wen You's words, there is no need to say more."

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, then sat back down.

Ma Chao now seems to have seen through people like Cai Yong, Peng Yi, Liao Li, and Yang Xiu.

He often knocks down their pride as soon as they open their mouths, making them helpless and more self-aware in front of Ma Chao.

However, Ma Chao did not interfere at all with Yang Fu and Li Ru.

And Cai Yong also knew that these two people were different from him.

In their disputes, they used the most practical interests to determine the development of the Ma family.

When he opened his mouth, he was probably just talking about etiquette, justice and morality.

Ma Chao wouldn't listen at all and would also sneer at those things.

"This is a critical moment of life and death."

Li Ru interrupted Yang Fu unceremoniously, looked at Yang Fu with piercing eyes, and spoke eloquently, "If a disaster breaks out, in the Sili area, it is conservatively estimated that There will suddenly be 1.5 million victims, including about 500,000 to 600,000 young people.

If the Ma family insists on being like one of those good-natured families, they will definitely be dragged to death by the victims of the disaster.

They will draft young men into the army, give them a few days of rations, and drive them to the front to attack key problems before the heavy snowfall.

To the east, provide food to the enemy.

In this way, one will expand the territory of our Ma family, and the other will lead to disaster and floods to the east."

"This must never be done."

Yang Fu was so shocked that he couldn't wait to jump up and fell to his knees with a plop.

After he bowed his hands to Ma Chao and apologized, he turned to look at Li Ru angrily and cursed, "Wen You is stupid and will be destroyed."

If you come up with this vicious plan for me, the Ma family, how can the Ma family be any different from the bandits?

The people's hearts have been completely lost, and the people from all over the world have risen up to attack them.

Even if we seek a place to bury ourselves, we won't be able to get it."

Li Ru was also angered by Yang Fu, and he first offered his hand to Ma Chao, but when he was about to refute Yang Fu, he saw that Ma Chao waved his hand, stopped the fierce argument between himself and Yang Fu, and said: " What Wen You said was a strategy that the Ma family had to choose at a time of extreme desperation.

Although it was an eccentric approach, it must be said that it is also a path."

When Yang Fu heard what Ma Chao said, he looked indignant and wanted to kowtow and cry blood to persuade him.

And all the ministers of His Highness are also interested in making a move.

But Ma Chao also waved his hand to Yang Fu and continued: "However, the Ma family has not reached the end of the mountain yet.

Wen You's plan, although it can bring huge benefits in the short term, can solve the Ma family's problems in one fell swoop.

But with Ma The foundation of the family at this time is that it is absolutely impossible to fight against the entire Han princes and the people of the world with Chang'an and Yongzhou."

Ma Chao understood what Li Ru was doing.

His plan was to organize an army of death squads, like the Yellow Turban Army, to fight on the move like locusts.

Every time they hit a place, they would grab everything they could, destroy everything they could destroy, and turn the landlords into Turn into corpses, turn rich peasants and middle peasants into poor people, and turn poor people into soldiers of the Ma family.

However, such an anti-civilization and anti-humanity war method can indeed achieve short-term gains for the military group at the beginning, but it is absolutely uncontrollable in the later stage.

When the military does not fight for political purposes, but purely When fighting for the purpose of robbery, the war loses any meaning.

And history has already proven this.

Zhang Jiao succeeded because of this, but also failed because of it.

When countless peasants who could not bear the oppression of the decadent Han Dynasty rose up, the whole land of the thirteen states was filled with smoke.

But in the later period of the Yellow Turban, Zhang Jiao was unable to control those murderous troops.

The slogan of doing justice on behalf of heaven has also become an act of doing evil on behalf of heaven.

Therefore, in the later period, wherever the Yellow Turban Army went, they immediately encountered fierce resistance from all classes except the poor peasants.

Therefore, the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising was finally defeated by the decadent Han Dynasty.

That kind of anti-civilization and anti-human war model is unacceptable to any rational person.

The reason why people are human is because they still have beauty and conscience in their hearts.

If even these are abandoned, what is the difference between humans and animals?

Ma Chao didn't want to be a beast, so although he admitted that Li Ru's plan was a trick, he did it to guide the entire meeting towards a solution.

But in my heart, I would not accept Li Ru's suggestion no matter what. s: I just came back from the transfusion.

I had diarrhea today so much that I couldn’t even stand up.

I originally planned to spend my birthday with my readers, but ended up spending it with a cold.

That’s it for today, I’ll update later tonight:
