Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 227 Four hundred million?the number is too large

When Chang'an City was about to fall, Ma Di resolutely decided to return to the army to fight Sima Yi. Such an operation stunned the four major generals.

Why not break through Chang'an first, capture Cao Rui alive, and then return to the army to fight Sima Yi?

If Cao Rui is captured alive, the Wei State is likely to be in chaos and collapse. Even if the princes and ministers who stayed in Luoyang can make another Cao Wei clan heir as emperor and maintain the overall situation for the time being, the Wei State will inevitably go to split and internal strife.

If so, wouldn't it be much easier for the Shu Han to make the Northern Expedition after that!

General, what are you thinking?
The four generals looked at Ma Su with puzzled and incomprehensible eyes.

Ma Di walked slowly up to the first earthen city, with his hands behind his back, looking towards the direction of Xiao Guan, groaning again and again.

At that time, he did have a chance to capture Chang'an and capture Cao Rui alive.

But if this is done, the biggest beneficiary is definitely not the Shu Han, and the biggest beneficiary will not be Ma Di.

So, he stopped.

Just like Sima Yi "retired despite difficulties" during the "Empty City Plan".

It is very simple to go further, just urge the troops to enter the city, but the situation they will face afterwards will inevitably be extremely dangerous.

Just being a "master of high merit" is enough for him to drink a pot, not to mention that the situation in the world will be chaotic and completely out of control.

Ma Su did not want to see such a situation.

Why did Han Xin, who had never been defeated in his life, die?
In the original time and space, why did Deng Ai, who directly took over the old nest of the Shu Han, die?
Because Han Xin's contribution is so great that Liu Bang can't sleep, because Deng Ai's contribution is so great that everyone envies, envies and hates him, and everyone wants him to die.

Therefore, when they died, most people in the world clapped their hands and cheered.

But by taking a step back, you can temporarily maintain the balance in all aspects, and firmly control the situation in all aspects in your own hands.

Gathering his thoughts, Ma Su decided to test the four generals.

"Hugh, if our army breaks through Chang'an and captures Cao Rui, which country do you think will be the biggest beneficiary? Who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

Zhang Xiu scratched his head and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "I think it's Ji Han and you, the general."

"No! Huang Xi is up to you." Ma Di turned to look at Huang Xi.

Huang Xi thought about it seriously: "I think it's you, General Wu Guohe."

"It's half right, Li Sheng, tell me."

Li Sheng frowned, and analyzed quickly. Zhang Xiu's answer included "General Ma Di", but it was all wrong; while Huang Xi's answer also included "General Ma Su", but he was only half wrong.Then it is obvious that the answer "Wu is the biggest beneficiary" is correct, and the answer that Ma Su is the biggest beneficiary is wrong.

Li Sheng smiled slightly, and snapped his fingers confidently: "The general believes that the country that benefits the most is the country of Wu! The biggest beneficiaries are the children of Cao Wei's clan!"

As soon as this remark came out, Huang Xi, Zhang Xiu, and Yang Wanwan all curled their lips at the same time, showing contempt on their faces.

Picking up people's wisdom, shameless!
Ma Di shook his head and laughed: "No! Tell me, Yang Wanwan."

Standing on the shoulders of both Huang and Zhang, he didn't guess correctly, Li Sheng was very depressed.

All eyes turned to Yang Wanwan.

Yang Wanwan babbled and said, "It can't be Wu Guo and Sima Yi?"

"That's right! It's the two of them." Ma Di was very pleased.

It seems that not all of the four major generals have well-developed limbs and simple minds, and there are still one or two that are useful.

Let's just talk about Yang Wanwan. He can analyze that the biggest beneficiary is Sima Yi, which proves that this guy is not a brazen man with big muscles and no brains.

Well, we can focus on training in the future.

Ma Su nodded slightly.

Suddenly I heard Yang Wanwan say again: "General, why is Sima Yi the biggest beneficiary?"

"..."

Ma Di stared at Yang Wanwan for a while, sighed slightly, and said to the four of them, "It's very simple, if I break through Chang'an and capture Cao Rui alive, what will happen next?"

"What will happen?" The four generals asked in unison.

"It will be attacked by all the armies of Wei State!"

Ma Di continued: "Sima Yi's army has arrived at Xiaoguan now, 15 soldiers are waiting, and I only have 6 troops."

"In addition, there are eight Sima Yi brothers, and many of them hold important positions in the court of the Wei Dynasty. The Sima family has a lot of connections with various families, such as the Guo family in Taiyuan, the Chen family in Yingchuan, the Zhong family, and the Wei family in Hedong..."

"If Emperor Wei makes a mistake, he will use the name of supporting the royal family. He will support his troops and fight with our army at the same time. Once our army loses to Sima Yi and withdraws from Guanzhong, Sima Yi's prestige will surely resound throughout Wei. To monopolize the power, no matter who is restored as the emperor, it is a matter of one sentence."

"So, this trip to Chang'an, didn't I make a wedding dress for someone else?"

"So that's how it is..." The four generals nodded in a half-understanding manner.

Zhang Xiu asked: "General, why is Wu the country that benefits the most?"

Li Sheng answered first: "Old Zhang, you don't understand this. Sima Yi's 15 troops stationed in Guanzhong basically blocked any possibility of Ji Han's forward expansion, but Wu State can take the opportunity to go north. Because of the previous Cao Rui has mobilized half of the troops on the eastern and southern fronts to support the western front, and the frontier troops on Wei's southeast two fronts without the support of the imperial court will find it difficult to resist Sun Quan's offensive."

"In short, if the Emperor Wei made a mistake, I would hardly get an inch of land in Jihan, and Dongwu... depends on how big Sun Quan's appetite is."

Ma Di looked at Li Sheng approvingly, "Not bad."

Li Sheng proudly raised his eyebrows at the other three, and the frustration of his failure to act pretentiously disappeared.

The other three generals turned their heads away.

Damn, he pretended to be there again!
……

After Cao Rui narrowly escaped the catastrophe, he learned that Sima Yi's 15 troops had left Xiaoguan and attacked Tucheng day and night. The flanking attack trapped Ma Su to death in Guanzhong.

Ma Di originally wanted to meet Sima Yi head-on, but the situation changed too quickly and he was not allowed to retreat.

So he quickly adjusted his strategy and retreated while fighting. Before the Wei army formed a siege, the army retreated to Wuzhangyuan and took a firm stand.

At this stage of the war, all the passes and Guanzhong counties previously occupied by the Shu army, including the small town of Chencang and Dasan Pass, were also given up, and all troops were shrunk to the Xiegu pass area to deal with the Wei army's counterattack.

Ma Su regretted not being able to meet Sima Yi head-on as he wished.

Originally, his plan A was to fight a battle of wits and courage with Sima Yi in Xiaoguan, to test his current military ability, and then to advance or retreat depending on the situation;

Plan B is to garrison Wuzhangyuan, to be a key household in Guanzhong, to use offense instead of defense, to contain the troops on the west front of Wei State, and to protect the peace of Longyou, Liangzhou, Hanzhong and other places in the rear.

……

After Sima Yi took back various places in Guanzhong, the army was divided into two groups, stationed on the east and west sides of Wuzhangyuan, and closely monitored every move of the Shu army.

This familiar scene can't help but remind people of the last time Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang confronted each other in Wuzhangyuan.

At that time, the strength of the two sides was equal, and Zhuge Liang was helpless under Sima Yi's guard, unable to advance an inch;

At this time, 15 soldiers and horses of the Wei Army were facing [-] soldiers and horses of the Shu Army.

The advantage lies in Wei.

Sima Yi wanted to see how capable Ma Su would be to hold on to Wuzhangyuan for a long time.

Although Ma Di has always had an astonishing record against the Wei army and has rarely lost, Sima Yi is quite disapproving of this.

He never felt how high Ma Di's military ability was. The reason why Ma Di was able to win so many times was because he had never met him, and because he picked the persimmons softly.

Now, he is going to experience Ma Di's skills.

However, before receiving the teaching, Sima Yi sent envoys to Wuzhangyuan to negotiate with Ma Di, asking for Guo Huai and Hao Zhao who were captured by the Shu army, as well as [-] prisoners.

Guo Huai was captured under Chencang City, and Hao Zhao and [-] soldiers were captured outside Chang'an City.

Both of these two people had a close relationship with Sima Yi, so they had to be rescued.

Ma Su readily agreed to Sima Yi's request, and three days later, the two men rode out alone to negotiate in person before the formation of the two armies.

When the generals of Cao Wei learned that Sima Yi would personally negotiate with Ma Di, they unanimously advised Sima Yi not to be careless, saying that Ma Di seemed weak in writing, but in fact he was highly skilled in martial arts, and had the ability to take the head of a general among thousands of troops.

At the insistence of the generals, Sima Yi ordered people to place wooden horses as a barrier under the Wuzhang Plain, that is, in front of the formation of the two armies to prevent the Shu army from making a surprise attack. At the same time, he ordered the general Xia Houba to accompany him to the front of the formation.

The day of negotiations is coming soon.

Ma Di came to the front of the two armies alone, and not far behind was five thousand elite Wudang flying troops, arranged in ten rows, with bright armor, many swords and guns, and a murderous look.

When the generals of the Wei army saw the formation of the Shu army, they were all shocked, and they rushed to the front row involuntarily, looking at Ma Di, the legendary Confucian general who was resourceful and invincible.

The momentum of the Shu army also moved Sima Yi, put away his contempt, and led Xia Houba to urge his horse forward.

Ma Su rode his horse and approached Sima Yi slowly, glanced at Xia Houba who was following the latter as if facing a formidable enemy, cupped his hands and said, "Sima Gong, General Xiahou, long time no see!"

Having said that, when he came to the opposite side of Sima Yi, Ma Su had actually plotted murderously, and the thought of rushing forward to capture Sima Yi alive surged in his mind.

Sima Yi was terrified by Ma Di's pointed gaze, he rode his horse back two steps, keeping a distance of twenty steps, and bowed his hands back, saying, "General Ma, don't come here!"

Hearing this, Ma Di quickly calmed down, put an end to his assassination thoughts, glanced at Xia Houba, and smiled slightly: "Sima Gong, are you being too careful?"

Sima Yi squinted his eyes at Ma Di, and replied with a smile, "How can you not be careful when seeking skin from a tiger?"

"Hahaha..." Ma Di didn't feel embarrassed, and directly turned to the topic.

"Sima Gong, there is no free business in this world. If you want to return Guo Huai, Hao Zhao and the [-] captives, you need to pay a small price."

"One price, 10000 yuan per soldier, 100 million yuan for Guo Huai, 80 yuan for Hao Zhao, totaling 4 million yuan."

what?
180 million?

That number sounds huge!

It was so huge that the faces of the two generals changed when they heard it.

Xiahouba took the lead and said, "[-] million? My treasury's income in a year is not that much, so why don't you just grab it!"

"Hahaha..." Ma Su spread his hands together: "Yes, I am robbing, are you willing to accept?"

Sima Yi's demeanor quickly regained his composure, and he cupped his hands and said, "In that case, let me report back to Your Majesty and reply later."

After all, he rode his horse and turned back to the formation.

Xia Houba glared at Ma Su fiercely, then snorted coldly, then turned his head and left.

In the next few days, the negotiations did not make much progress. Ma Di insisted on [-] million yuan, and even if he lost a penny, Cao Rui firmly disagreed, thinking that Ma Di was asking for a lot of money.

Under the stalemate, Ma Di was very impatient, so he asked Zhang Xiu to continue negotiating with Sima Yi alone, while he stayed in the Wuzhangyuan camp to wait for the result.

So far, the battle in Guanzhong has come to a stalemate and entered the negotiation stage.

Everyone knows that when the negotiation ends, the decisive battle begins.
