Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 129 Strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away!

……

"Prime Minister, how is the situation now?"

"The mood of the barbarians is fairly stable."

"Prime Minister, how are my acting skills?"

"It's a little exaggerated, a little pretentious. When you were dragged away by the soldiers, your expression was not shocked or mourned enough, and the secret smile at the corner of your mouth was too obvious."

"...Prime Minister, what's the situation now?"

In Jianning County, in the wing of the prefect's mansion, Ma Su asked anxiously.

After Zhuge Liang sat down on the desk, he fell silent.

This is a red-faced drama that has not been rehearsed in advance. Ma Su is a traitorous official with a bad face, Zhuge Liang is a good prime minister with a red face, and the audience is the leaders of the Southern Man.

However, although the red and white face drama is a drama, it must be done for real.

In order to appease the fright and anger of the barbarian leaders, Zhuge Liang gave them two choices.

First, severely punish Ma Su and stop road construction, and all donated food will be used to prepare for the Northern Expedition; second, half of the food will be returned, and the other half will be used for road construction; Ma Su will be punished slightly, and at the same time, the eight tribes whose leaders died will be punished. The tribes and territory are equally distributed to all tribes.

If the barbarian chiefs choose one, they will die and have nothing to lose; if they choose the second, they will only lose some food, continue to build roads, and evenly share the tribal power vacuum vacated by the death of Liu, Meng and the six chiefs.

Such a simple multiple-choice question, normal people know how to choose.

Hatred is not a problem, power is the truth; between people, love and hate can change, and only interests are eternal.

Zhuge Liang looked over deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Youchang, I will take care of your wife, you go..."

Having said that, he deliberately paused to observe Ma Su's reaction.

isn't it?
Prime Minister, are you really here?

These barbarian heads are not normal, they would rather kill me if they don't want food, don't build roads, and don't want to be vacant?
Ma Di panicked for a moment, and said incoherently: "Prime Minister, I have made great contributions to the Shu Han!"

"Prime Minister, I blocked the knife for you..."

"I haven't been married yet."

"I can not be the governor of Yongzhou, and I can not be the general of Zhenbei"

"I don't want to die wow..."

Ma Su burst into tears instantly, clutching Zhuge Liang's sleeves tightly, greeting him with tears and snot.

"Prime Minister..."

After half a column of incense.

Waiting for Ma Di to act enough.Only then did Zhuge Liang slowly break free from his arm, and said expressionlessly:
"Youchang, I will take care of your wife, so go and build the road with peace of mind, don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Ma Di quickly withdrew his supernatural powers and said seriously, "Okay, Prime Minister."

You have so many plays...

Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Su with a numb scalp, and asked doubtfully, "Youchang just said that you have blocked the knife for the truth?"

When did this happen?
How do you not know the truth?
Ma Su's face was embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "Well, I mean that I am willing to stand up for the prime minister."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and asked again: "You just said that you have never been married?"

Then your wife...

Then the origins of your five sons are worthy of thought-provoking.

"Prime Minister, you heard me wrong, I mean I haven't married a concubine, concubine, concubine!"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and changed the topic: "Youchang, can the remaining three roads be repaired within this year?"

Ma Di said, "Yes, it should be possible."

The most embarrassing thing in life is that the cowhide blows up.

Before, Ma Su had confidently told Zhuge Liang: Before the end of the year, the transportation network in the shape of a "meter" in Nanzhong will definitely be repaired.

The start was just as he expected, and the avenue (Chengdu-Jianning) was built for thousands of miles, and it was repaired in fifteen days.

Called fast.

But the next Jianyong Avenue poured cold water on his head. This thousand-mile road is particularly difficult to repair. It took four months of repairs before it could be completed.

If this progress is made, the construction of the Jianning-Yunnan section alone may not be completed this year.Not to mention that there are two other main roads running through the three counties, it will take another two months no matter what.

In this way, when the construction period is completed, it will be March and April next year.

Although the speed can still be regarded as super fast, Ma Di still feels a little uncomfortable.

The seven counties in Nanzhong are all large counties, and each county has a large territory. Although the population is not as large as the eleven counties in central Sichuan, the territory is much larger than the eleven counties in central Sichuan.

Especially considering that the Shu Han has only completed superficial control over the seven counties of Nanzhong, and there is still a long way to go before the real rule.

In order to rule the seven counties of Nanzhong as soon as possible and deeply incorporate all the tribes of the barbarians, these five main arteries are imperative.

Even, for quite a long time thereafter, the engineering team will be stationed in Nanzhong, around these five main roads, and build branch lines leading to various tribes.

This is also the main reason why Ma Di brought his "eldest son" Ma Wen.

The purpose is to cultivate a successor in road construction.

In the future, the work of road construction will be handed over to him to coordinate.


However, the most important thing right now is how to appease the many barbarians living in Yunnan County.

After more than 300 barbarians took back half of the food, they respected Zhuge Liang even more like a god.

Not only did they spread Zhuge Liang's benevolence, fairness and righteousness everywhere, but they also claimed that as long as Zhuge Liang was around, Ma Di, the murderous demon king, would not dare to mess around.

They were really scared of being killed by Ma Di.

For barbarian leaders like them, Zhuge Liang, who is highly respected and fair, is much easier to get along with than Ma Di, who is cruel and ruthless.

Moreover, there are rumors that Ma Di is a Siru general.As cruel as a tiger, as bloodthirsty as mad, as lustful as life, and as murderous as slaughtering chickens.

They haven't seen the first three scenes, but they have actually experienced the last scene.

I was so scared that my gallbladder burst on the spot.

But if Zhuge Liang is there, Ma Su will be restrained no matter how crazy or fierce he is.

Zhuge Liang has already promised them that as long as they are obedient, he will never send Governor Ma Di to Nanzhong to manage Yunnan County.

So all the leaders felt lucky about this, secretly made a small calculation, and weighed the pros and cons.

Listening to the prime minister is equal to safety and self-government; not listening to the prime minister is tantamount to facing the ruthless Ma Di.

It is self-explanatory which one is better and which is worse.

After thinking about this point clearly, everyone was overjoyed and led the crowd back to the tribe with satisfaction.

They feel they earned it.

Not only did they bring back half of the food, they got a promise of safety, but someone would build roads for free, and even get the population and territory of the first eight tribes for nothing.

Zhuge Liang also felt that he had made money. Not only did he earn a lot of money, but he also had the opportunity to control Yunnan County more deeply. He also got 10,000+ stone grain for nothing. 12 stones are reserved for other uses.

Ma Su also felt that he was right.
So everyone is happy.

In this way, with the joint efforts of Zhuge Liang, Ma Su and the barbarians, the food problem was quickly resolved.After a short break, the engineering team once again mustered their strength and started to work hard.

Jianning, the main artery of Yunnan, advances towards Yunnan County at a speed of tens of miles a day.

Wherever the Great Dao went, the barbarians and the people all applauded and stepped forward to help.

After the road construction to Yongchang, everyone realized the importance of a good road.

In a blink of an eye, it was late autumn in September.

Ma Di took a moment to squat in the Qiang girl's tent to look at the topographic map of Shuhan prefecture.

The two have lived together in a tent for a long time.

But nothing happened during that time.

Ma Di frowned, staring at the map in a daze.

Originally, after the Shu Han lost Jingzhou, its territory shrank sharply from 23 counties to [-] counties.Not only lost the three counties of Handong and Dongdong, the three counties of Jingzhou, but even the four counties of Nanzhong rebelled.

But under Zhuge Liang's rule, after six years, the Shu Han returned to its state of prosperity.

As the Shu Han captured the two counties of Yinping and Wudu, pacified the Dongqiang and Xianling Qiang, and split the four counties of Nanzhong into seven counties, now the Shu Han regained 24 (six) counties, namely the six counties of Hanzhong, Badong Five counties, six counties in Shu, seven counties in Nanzhong, and two huge Qiang tribes (population equivalent to two counties).

The total national power has exceeded the peak of the Shu Han.

Such a basic disk is exciting.

From the map, the Shuhan Empire stretches for more than 3000 miles from north to south, and more than 800 miles from west to east.

In terms of population, if the Nanman tribe is not included, the current population of Shu Han is about 170 million.

The army is about 21.

In order to verify his guess, Ma Su turned on the system and spent 1000 points to check Liu Chan's attributes.

[Congratulations: You spent 1000 points to obtain this permission, your current balance: 1179. 】

Name: Liu Chan (own side)

Occupation: Emperor (Shu Kingdom)
Hidden position: no
Age: 22
Intelligence: 5 (55-50)

Force: 3
Prestige: 5 (55-50)

People: 169/246 million (Note: There are still 77 barbarians not activated).

Army: 21 (18+3).

国力：169/246（注1：尚有部分国力未激活；注2，当前时代国力满分为1000）。

【Special talent...】

……

Not bad!

After looking at the basic situation of the barbarians, Ma Di was full of relief.

If the 77 barbarians can be completely brought under control, the Shu Han family will suddenly become much stronger.

In terms of population alone, it is not much different from Wu State.

War, in fact, is fighting for population and resources.

If this momentum continues to develop, within ten years, the population of Shu Han will surely exceed 400 million.

However, among the 400 million people, it is estimated that a considerable part will be children.

It will take another ten years for them to grow up and become immediate combat power (fertility machines).

Of course, population development and prosperity are both long-term goals.

Don't rush, take your time.

There are only two short-term goals, one is to build roads and rule the Nanman completely; the other is to slow down the development speed of Wei and Wu.

How to drag?
That is naturally to provoke a war between the two families. The Shu Han sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, allowing the two countries to fight each other and develop silently.

The State of Wei never regarded the State of Shu as its opponent, and always only regarded the State of Wu as disliked, and would send troops to attack the State of Wu every now and then.

During Sun Quan’s reign alone, from 208 to 251, in 43 years, Wei Guo and Wu Guo had twelve large-scale wars, with an average of three and a half wars. In these twelve wars, Wu Guo won seven and five losses , slightly prevailing.

It can be seen that the hatred value of Wei State towards Wu State is full.

And what Ma Di has to do is to add fuel to the fire, so that the two families will fight each other, and the national power will be consumed by each other.

However, this is easier said than done.

Where do we start?

Ma Su fell into deep thought.

In an instant, countless schemes flooded into his head.
