Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 273 Shouchun's Policy

"Why bother, who I work for has nothing to do with that old bastard, he doesn't care about me." Ma Chao said disdainfully.

Zhao Lei felt helpless when Ma Chao called Ma Teng.After all, Xiao Machao is only in his teens, and he has already become a hero in the Xiliang Army. Even his father doesn't pay attention to such a strong man, let alone those Liangzhou Army ?No wonder Ma Chao wanted to join the Yangzhou army, because there were stronger people around Zhao Lei. For martial arts practitioners, it was quite a temptation to be able to work under the same lord with some masters, and often to learn martial arts.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei said: "That can't be done. He is your father after all. If you don't explain the situation to your father, if he finds out later, he will definitely think that I have tricked you. At that time, I will not It's like suffering this innocent injustice. And you don't listen to such a small order from me, how can you obey military orders in the army in the future?" Zhao Lei laughed himself when he said this.

After Zhao Lei's hard work, Ma Chao could only obey.He wrote a handwritten letter on the spot, and after showing it to Zhao Lei, he sent someone to deliver it to Ma Teng.

"Okay, I've finally settled the matter of you little brat, and I wasted half a day. I still have a lot of important things to do next!" Zhao Lei gave Ma Chao a blank look, and said helplessly.

Ma Chao chuckled, and said, "My lord, for a strong general like me, my lord can recruit Dao in half a day. It's already a huge profit, and I'm the one who lost it!"

After hearing Ma Chao's words, Zhao Lei was speechless for a while.He had never seen such a narcissistic person.Praise yourself as a fierce general?Did he forget the miserable appearance he was repaired by Zhao Yun earlier?
However, having said that, the addition of Ma Chao really made Zhao Lei even more powerful.Especially at the critical moment when Zhao Lei decided to introduce Xiliang horses to form the Yangzhou cavalry, Ma Chao was very suitable for the position of cavalry commander.He was born in Xiliang, and grew up on horseback since he was a child. It was a perfect fit for him to command the cavalry.But the problem now is that Ma Chao is too young and has never seen any bloody war scenes.Moreover, from the fact that he refused to obey Ma Teng's orders in Hulaoguan and went out to challenge Lu Bu privately, it shows that Ma Chao's character is immature and he is still very reckless.The concept of war is still very vague, and I don't understand the importance of military orders to an army.With so many factors gathered together, the position of commander-in-chief could not be handed over to him so quickly.Because he still needs some training.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei said to Ma Chao: "You little brat, you still claim to be a fierce general. Zilong has never said such a thing, you! You are young and frivolous, you should learn from Zilong's calmness, this is a general Demeanor."

After hearing Zhao Lei's words, Ma Chao muttered, "How much older than me? Are you saying I'm young and frivolous?"

Zhao Lei ignored Ma Chao who was muttering, but said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, I will leave this kid to you. Just follow what he said before, let him start as a big soldier, and don't give him special Take care of him. Don’t treat him like a child, beat him when he needs to be beaten, and scold him when he needs to be scolded. Let him exercise in the army.”

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "No!"

Judging from the tacit understanding between Zhao Yun and Zhao Lei's brothers for so many years, Zhao Yun can understand from Zhao Lei's words that this Ma Chao is highly valued by Zhao Lei, so he was sent to him for training.Although Zhao Lei said that there should be no special care, but psychologically he really thought the opposite.

Zhao Lei did not give Ma Chao to generals like Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun, and Gao Lan, but only to Zhao Yun, because Zhao Yun was more responsible and careful than other generals, and he was also majestic, and he could restrain Ma Chao in terms of martial arts.And Zhao Yun is more suitable to be Ma Chao's teacher in terms of temper and character, but Zhao Lei couldn't reveal his partiality for Ma Chao in front of the generals, so he said what he just said.

As for Zhao Lei's thoughts, he couldn't escape the eyes of Jia Xu and Zhang Han.At this time, Jia Xu couldn't help thinking that the lord actually wanted to recruit Ma Chao, but it was because of his status and background.But now that there is a way to remove this partition, Zhao Lei's attitude towards Ma Chao has immediately undergone a subversive change, and his love for Ma Chao is beyond words.But thinking of this, Jia Xu also had serious concerns about Ma Teng's side.I don't know what Ma Chao's reaction will be after Ma Teng has read that letter?The most important thing is, will Ma Chao be used by Ma Teng?To do something unfavorable to Zhao Lei.This is what worries Jia Xu the most.But Jia Xu also believes in Zhao Lei's charisma, because Zhao Lei can make so many fierce generals follow him to the death, and he will definitely make Ma Chao give him his heart. This kind of heart is even more than family affection.

"Mr. Jia, Mr. Jia?" Zhao Lei's voice came to Jia Xu who had lost his mind at this time. Jia Xu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Lei with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Jia Xu asked.

"Mr. Jia, what's the matter with you, didn't you hear my previous question?" Zhao Lei asked.

Jia Xu smiled apologetically at Zhao Lei and said, "Sorry my lord, I was distracted ahead."

Zhao Lei waved his hand and said indifferently, "Mr. Jia, what do you think about what the restaurant owner said this morning?"

Jia Xu regained his composure, and then said, "Master, obviously, the methods used by this group of people are very similar to the ones I used when I first met the lord."

Thinking of the situation he encountered just after he entered the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhao Lei also burst out laughing, and said, "Mr. Jia said so, it seems to be a bit similar."

Zhang Han also laughed at this time, and said: "Mr. Jia, does he mean that these people are actually bandits and bandits?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I think if we stay in Shouchun City for a few more days, they will definitely show up." Jia Xu said.

"That's true. I also remember that the owner of the restaurant said that these people would come back to blackmail every now and then." Zhang Han said.

"Since that's the case, let's wait for work! It just so happens that Shouchun City needs to appease the people these days. Although I strictly restricted the Yangzhou Army from harassing the people when I entered Shouchun City, I feel that the people still resist our army. So I decided that if we want to completely and safely occupy Shouchun City, we must first let these people support our regime from the bottom of their hearts, instead of being afraid of us. As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, only those who have the support of the people , we can gain a firm foothold in Shouchun City." Zhao Lei said.

"My lord, Mingjian, I don't know what your lord's idea is for appeasing the people?" At this time, Xi Zhi came out and said.

"Hehe, don't tell me Mr. Xi, I really have some ideas." Zhao Lei said with a chuckle.

"My lord, please tell me, my subordinates are all ears." Xi Zhicai said.

Zhao Lei said: "As far as I know, Shouchun City is a city with a large output, because the climate here is very suitable for the growth of crops. Therefore, although the people in Shouchun City are not rich, they never go hungry. This is because their hands The food on the market is indeed quite plentiful, and there will be a lot of food left over after deducting the total amount of food that the family needs to eat every year. And because this is the case for every household, even if the food is put on the market, it cannot be sold. So I thought, can we buy the surplus food from these common people's homes, so that the common people will be very happy and their attitude towards our Yangzhou army will be eased. The advantage of doing this is that it can make the common people We are getting richer, in terms of taxation in Shouchun City in the future. Secondly, we can also supplement the granaries of our Yangzhou Army. Now the world is in chaos, and we don’t know when it will be. Food must be hoarded. Since Shouchun City has this conditions, then we must make good use of them!" These are also the methods Zhao Lei came up with from some gossip in the restaurant yesterday and his own analysis of the climate and environment in Shouchun.

"My lord's method can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only help the people seek benefits and gain their support, but also make our army's food reserves more sufficient." Xi Zhicai said.

"Mr. Xi is proficient in internal affairs. If you say yes, there will be no problem. At that time, part of the grain we get from the people will be transported back to Wu County for hoarding, and the rest will be hoarded in Shouchun's granary, and the rest will be used as food for Yangzhou. Military use." Zhao Lei laughed.

Listening to Zhao Lei's words, the counselors nodded involuntarily. Everyone agreed with Zhao Lei's policy. They believed that in a short period of time, Shouchun's hearts would be won by Zhao Lei.

"Mr. Xi, apart from my method, what other methods do you have for managing the hearts of the people in Shouchun City?" Seeing Xi Zhicai asking himself a question earlier, Zhao Lei knew that he must have his own opinion on the convenience of winning people's hearts, so Zhao Lei followed his words and asked.
