After a night of careful research, Zhongshu Sheng came up with their usual efficient style and determined the plan to go south to Hanzhong: Ma Chao would personally take charge of the army and lead the six generals Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Gao Shun, Huang Yuan, Li Yan, and Huang Zhong , 30,000 elite troops of the Ma family conquered Hanzhong.
After the court made a decision, everything was quietly and nervously arranged.
Orders were quickly spread among the army.
Papers of official documents were quickly passed between state capitals.
Groups of soldiers came from different places to Hanzhong.
Rally.
In addition to the military affairs in Chang'an, Ma Chao also specially transferred Han Menngling, who was still undergoing shadow training, into this expedition.
This led to a ridiculous result, that is, the chef of Longmen Inn, Duanmu Muming, took an iron spatula and joined Ma Chao's team.
On February 10th, they bypassed the west of Qinling Mountains and sent troops out of Sanguan.
After marching for another two days, they can join Gan Ning and Zang Ba's army stationed in Tianshui.
During this expedition, Ma Chao did not bring much logistical supplies.
Everything was replenished on the spot by Tianshui County after arriving at Tianshui County.
This is the advantage of reforming the entire Ma family political structure: It is decided that before Ma Chaoman arrives, the counties, counties and state capitals along the way have already received the supply mission from the Ministry of Finance, which will then be confirmed by the Ministry of War and handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs. accounting.
As a result, it was no longer the state of separatism in the Han Dynasty where the governors, governors, and governors were not affiliated with each other.
This strengthened the Ma family's ruling foundation and improved administrative efficiency.
Of course, these also need to be guaranteed by a sufficient economic foundation.
For example, if Tianshui County is extremely poor, no matter how good the system is, there will be no basis for implementation.
Fortunately, since Ma Chao took charge of the Ma family, he implemented the New Deal and supported business, thus hiding wealth in the people and the government, making the entire Ma family run smoothly and smoothly.
Therefore, tonight, Ma Chao's army will rest in Tianshui County for a night no matter what, to replenish their supplies and recharge their batteries.
At the same time, the Sheriff's Hall of Tianshui County also became a temporary meeting hall for Ma Chao to discuss this battle.
Every time he went on an expedition, Ma Chao brought with him advisors from the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of War to serve as military and civil servants.
This time, Ma Chao brought four counselors: Guo Jia, Fazheng, Li Ru, and Yang Xiu.
What's more interesting, he also specially recruited them.
The lanterns were first lit, and after everyone took a break, they came to the meeting hall.
Civil servants and military generals gathered around the sand table simulation map to discuss the specific military plan for this battle.
"My lord, Tianshui County has been managed by my lord for many years and has gained a lot.
The supplies can be used by the army for three months.
If there is still not enough, I can contact Longxi and Guangwei counties to mobilize supplies for reinforcements."
The first one to speak. , naturally Yin Feng, the governor of Tianshui County.
He said this after reporting on the supply situation of the troops.
"Three months are enough."
Ma Chao seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
After praising Yin Feng for his timely response to clearing the country, he continued: "Although fighting is about logistics, we are here this time to win the victory.
It’s the people’s hearts, and it’s impossible to survive by burning, killing, and looting.
But if we can’t take Hanzhong in three months with an absolute advantage, then the Ma Jiajun will simply retreat.”
"What your lord said is absolutely true.
We have strong troops in this battle.
Although we can win with a strong attack, we will inevitably lose the foundation of the Ma family.
Once we lose the hearts of the people in Hanzhong, I am afraid that the army will retreat under the strong city and penetrate deep into the city.
All the people will be soldiers."
The quagmire is contrary to the goal of quick victory."
Guo Jia seemed to be pointing, but his attention didn't seem to be on the ground.
Above the picture, he continued with a double-minded approach: "So, after the invasion of Hanzhong, if there is a logistics shortage, we need to replenish it where we can, and if we can't, we can't grab it.
In addition, , we must also make announcements to appease the people, open warehouses to release grain, and win over the people's hearts.
With this two-pronged approach, Hanzhong can survive."

"In terms of military strategy, Wei Chen believes that this time we must advocate for field battles and recruitment.
We would rather advance slowly than to attack and terrorize the people."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Li Ru turned the topic to military strategy On the top, he analyzed: "Therefore, the key point of this expedition is to fight in the field.
If we can defeat Zhang Lu's main force in one battle, Hanzhong can go down with the wind."
Speaking of this, Li Ru's wrinkles stretched and undulated several times, like a poisonous snake shedding its skin: "It's just that this time, it seems that there is an expert behind Zhang Lu to guide him."
Ma Chao nodded involuntarily after hearing Li Ru's conclusion: As soon as the news of the Ma family's army's expedition came out, Zhang Lu's army, which was originally in a stalemate with Gan Ning and Zang Ba, actually withdrew one day at a time, and continued to reduce its efforts to lure the enemy.
Gan Ning and Zang Ba did not dare to pursue rashly without knowing the details.
As a result, when Ma Chao arrived, the army gathered at the border of Tianshui was completely withdrawn.
The essence of the military book was to retreat when the enemy is strong, leaving the entire Ma family army aside.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Since the scouts and spies in the army can't figure out the situation, I think the Ma family's shadows should be dispatched."
Sima Yi said this without caring whether he should speak or not.
Then, he stroked his back and stared at Ma Chao.
"It seems that you are very curious about the shadow of the Ma family."
Ma Chao also had the same idea in his mind, but he wanted to directly tell Huang Yuan to do it after the meeting, but when Sima Yi said it, he couldn't help but turn to Huang Yuan said: "Brother Chou, you know the situation of Hanzhong Shadow, right?
I don't need to say more about what to do next."
"The general will finally understand, find Zhang Lu's main force, and fight to the death."
Huang Yuan was never ambiguous in major matters, let alone stupid.
After saying this, he said goodbye and left, presumably going to contact Shadow immediately.
"Very good.
Let's rest peacefully for the night today and continue the march at midnight tomorrow.
We will discuss it again after we meet the two generals Gan, Ning and Zang Ba."
With a wave of his hand, Ma Chao ordered everyone to retreat.
You Qi smiled at Sima Yi, and she didn't know what kind of tricks he was playing with Sima Yi.
However, when Sima Yi left, he lowered his head and whispered: "Childish" Naturally, these words could not be hidden from Ma Chao's sensitive ears, which made him, who had already started to cross his legs and sip hot tea, suddenly burst into laughter and tears: I have been more than thirty years old in my two lifetimes, and yet I was despised by a boy.
However, this embarrassment only left a ripple in Ma Chao's heart.
After Han Menngling arrived, his expression returned to calm as before, and he even smiled friendly and said: "Miss Han, I just found out today that your Han family is actually a branch of the Han family in Jincheng.
In this way The news made me more and more interested in Miss Han."
"Since you already know this and know that I deliberately sneaked into the Ma family, why did you train me to be a shadow?"
Han Menngling took a step forward, put on a cold and stern expression, and said: "You are not afraid, I will kill you secretly."
"Kill me."
Ma Chao pointed at himself with his backhand, somewhat disapprovingly: "If you were in the shadow of the Ma family and learned the martial arts of Wang Yue, Tong Yuan, and Shi A, as well as all the courses on poisoning, design, etc., I I’m really afraid of you.”
Having said this, Ma Chao reached into his arms and took out a letter.
With a flick of his wrist, the letter flew slowly and steadily toward Han Menngling's chest, revealing his superb skills.
Han Menngling took it with both hands, unfolded the letter and looked at it, she couldn't help but was stunned: "The Han family has surrendered to your Ma family."
"That's natural, otherwise why do you think I would keep you alive until now?"
Ma Chao smiled with his head bent.
It seemed that he liked the frightened look of the beautiful woman: her pretty face suddenly changed, her almond-shaped eyes widened, especially her small mouth opened slightly, It has a unique flavor.
"Then you call me here tonight."
Han Menngling checked the letter again.
After confirming that it was correct, he calmed down and asked Ma Chao.
"Of course it's because of the hardships of being in the military.
I can't sleep for a long time.
Looking at the past, I see all the old men.
If you are willing, you can dance a song for me to relieve your loneliness."
