Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 234 Ma Di: Advantage, Prime Minister
When the Shu army slowly descended to Wuzhangyuan, the heavy troops were in front, and the elite soldiers and horses were cut off, and they retreated into the Xiegu pass in an orderly manner.Sima Yi is leading an army of tens of thousands, following several miles away to observe.

Seeing that the whole retreat process of the Shu army was extremely orderly and compact, and the soldiers were calm and unhurried, Sima Yi endured a little bit, and finally suppressed the idea of ​​leading the army to charge Ma Di's tail all at once.

Sima Yi believed that since the Shu army had been forced to retreat, there was no need to pursue it, and forcing the war would only increase casualties.

After all, all the [-] Liannu arrows shot by the Shu army were taken back after the war.

Once you choose to pursue, no matter what the result is, you must first try the [-] arrows with the lives of a large number of soldiers-the range of the crossbow is limited, and it has almost no power when it is the main attack, but it is very powerful when it is defending.

Moreover, after this battle, the Guanzhong area was severely damaged by Ma Di, and all the money and food in the treasuries of counties and counties were looted. Wei Guo urgently needed a truce to calm the people.

With this in mind, Sima Yi returned to Chang'an to report to Cao Rui after regaining the Xiegu pass on the third day after the Shu army retreated.

Anyway, he shattered Ma Di's offensive in Guanzhong. He was a pillar of the Great Wei Qingtian and a meritorious minister.

As for Wei Guo losing Longyou and Liangzhou, what does that have to do with Sima Yi?Liangzhou was not lost in his hands, and the five counties of Longyou were also abandoned under Cao Rui's behest.

Shu Han Jianxing nine years, Wei Taihe five years, October.The seventh Northern Expedition of the Shu Han ended.

In the inclined valley road.

Ma Di swayed his body in accordance with the rhythm of the mount under his crotch, and he was in the middle of the army, slowly returning to Hanzhong.

The Northern Expedition ended hastily in this way, which he never expected at the beginning.

While feeling relieved on the shoulders, it is inevitable that there will be some regrets.

The only thing Ma Di cares about now is his plans after returning home.

The resignation above is not a whim, but the result of careful consideration.

Because they are direct competitors, he and Yang Yi, Wei Yan, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others frequently wrestled secretly.

Of course, Ma Di has never regarded them as competitors, and has always adhered to the idea of ​​"fighting your own battle well so that others have no battle to fight".

But a few of them don't think so.

Zhuge Liang is 51 years old this year. Due to working day and night on state affairs, his physical health has not been very good.

So a problem arises.

After a hundred years of prime minister, who will the power pass to?

It seems that each of the above five has a chance.

If you have to say who occupies the leading position, it must be Ma Di.

So he inevitably became the target of public criticism.

In fact, Ma Di has already learned about what is happening in Hanzhong through special channels.

In this wave of successor chaos, Wang Ping had nothing to do with it, but the latter was involved by someone with ulterior motives.

The purpose is obvious, to bring down Ma Di.

Therefore, at the beginning of writing the letter to question Wang Ping, Ma Di directly expressed his intention to resign to Zhuge Liang in an all-round way, and decided to take a step back and see which clown was dancing.

By the way, take this free time to deal with housework and plan the way to go in the future.

Ma Di took a very open view of voluntarily giving up military power.

Strategic retreat, in order to return more powerfully in the future.

What's more, it's only two ups and downs, so don't panic.

How can those who want to do great things achieve positive results without experiencing ups and downs?

With the ability he has shown so far, it is not difficult to make a comeback.When the Wei or Wu army violated the territory, it was the day when the king returned.

As the team marched, the barren mountains and wild ridges gradually retreated, and the rural scenery full of autumn in Hanzhong came into view little by little.

The supply troops of the Han army drove out of the mountains and forests, along the flat concrete avenue, and walked slowly towards Nanzheng City under the eyes of the people full of respect.

General Changsheng, the teacher of the king, he will be full of respect wherever he goes.

When the army walked outside Nanzheng City, Ma Su was surprised to find that Zhuge Liang had been waiting here for a long time.

Ma Su almost flew down from the horse, and rushed to Zhuge Liang in three steps at a time. He clasped both hands with Zhuge Liang, looked at each other, and squirmed his lips, as if he was brewing emotions.

Just when everyone thought he would make a tearful speech full of affection, Ma Su suddenly said:

"Prime Minister, have you eaten yet?"

Hearing this, everyone was immediately overwhelmed.

Zhuge Liang was also dumbfounded, glanced at the sun at noon, and replied with a smile: "This point must be eaten (During the Three Kingdoms period, people had two meals a day, breakfast around ten in the morning and dinner around five in the afternoon) )."

Accompanied by all the generals, the prime minister and general entered the mansion hand in hand, and sat down in priority.

Compared with Wang Ping's obscurity when he returned to the army, the treatment Ma Su received was of the highest standard.

Not only did Wang Ping not get half of the credit for the Battle of Guanzhong, but he also joined Ma Di when he withdrew his troops. After returning to Hanzhong, he has been receiving strange looks from his colleagues.

In the end, he was put in prison, awaiting the judgment.

After Ma Di sat down, most of the time he was forced to deal with everyone's greetings and compliments.

Everyone expressed their greatest praise and enthusiasm for Ma Di, a general who "comes to fight and wins in battle".

Some generals enthusiastically asked about the details of Ma Di's victory over Sima Yi, while some generals were more concerned about whether Ma Di had any plans to marry a wife and take concubines.

More civilian officials are inquiring about Ma Di's plans after he is dismissed and returned to the land, so as to infer whether Ma Di really wants to "abdicate to the virtuous".

Ma Di exhausted his mouth and spent more than half an hour before he finished dealing with everyone.

During the whole process, Zhuge Liang sat in the main seat, watching Ma Su and his colleagues with a smile.

Zhuge Liang discovered that Ma Di could call out the names and characters of almost all civil servants and generals accurately, and he got on well with them all.

Of course, these people did not include Yang Yi and Wei Yan.There is also Wang Ping who was imprisoned.

When the enthusiasm of the people around him dissipated, Ma Di finally found a free time, came to Zhuge Liang's seat, knelt down, raised a glass to toast him, asked him about his health, and then chatted about the general trend of the world.

The two people's precise and unique understanding of the general trend of the world immediately caused a violent collision,

Everyone in the room couldn't speak, and could only listen with sideways eyes.

However, the two generals and prime ministers tacitly did not mention Wang Ping.

A reception meeting lasted until the evening before ending.

After the banquet, Ma Di followed Zhuge Liang to the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhuge Liang sat cross-legged on the bamboo couch, looked at the situation on the chessboard, picked up a white piece and thought about it, tapped on a blank area on the chessboard, and then stared at Ma Di: "Have you decided to leave?"

"It's decided." Ma Su casually picked up a sunspot without looking at it, and with a "snap" he pressed it to the side of the white one again, sticking tightly to it.

"..." Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Su speechlessly, and said frankly, this kind of "pressing" gangster's chess style is definitely not the work of a gentleman.

Zhuge Liang picked up another white piece, formed a straight line with the empty white piece before, and said softly, "Youchang, you don't need to resign. The trouble caused by Wang Ping's matter lies with me, not with you."

Ma Su buried his head and picked up a black stone, and with a "snap", he put his head on the top of the two white stones, and said without looking up: "The meritorious service is so powerful, there is no seal, no retreat..."

"When are we leaving?"

"tomorrow."

"The prime minister wants to give me a ride?"

"..."

"Are you coming back?" Zhuge Liang made another move, and the three white pieces formed a straight line, he stopped and asked.

In fact, he knew the answer to this question, but he couldn't help asking.

"Let's see the situation." Ma Di stopped Baizi's other end with a slap, and blurted out: "Today, our Ji Han has almost become a strong Qin Dynasty, and the top priority should be to rest the army and support the people, so as to achieve an invincible victory." base."

"Prime Minister, you know me. There is nothing else I can do except fight."

Being pressed against Ma Su's head again, Zhuge Liang suddenly didn't want to play chess with him, stood up, took a few steps, and said slowly: "It's good to rest for a while. It's getting late, Youchang, you should go back earlier. "

Ma Su raised his head with unsatisfied intentions: "Ah? Prime Minister, isn't this game over? You have the advantage."

"Sleepy." Zhuge Liang flicked his sleeves, messing up the chessboard.

Ma Di resigned angrily, and was worried about his inability to demonstrate the "high-end chess skills" of later generations in front of Zhuge Liang.

……

Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang came to the coordination office of the prime minister's mansion.

The civil servants of Cao Cao with account books rushed to and fro, busy counting the overall results of the Northern Expedition, the remaining food and weapons consumption.

During the time between accounts, they still whispered "What kind of punishment will Wang Ping receive?"

"It seems that this matter is not so easy to pass."

While listening to these noisy voices, Zhuge Liang came to the koan and sat down, put the feather fan aside, and groaned again and again.

How to place the captives, how to arrange the surrender, the inventory of weapons and storage, the inventory and delivery of grain and grass, and the official documents and memorials sent by the imperial court during the Northern Expedition, there are piles of affairs to be processed.

Although these matters are urgent, what worries him the most is how to deal with Wang Ping.

Judging from the results, Wang Ping's fault was not serious and did not cause any losses to the Han army.However, this move did violate military law and put Ma Di in danger regardless.

Handling is a must.

But how to deal with it so that everyone can be convinced, so that the government and the opposition will not have criticism, is really a test of people's wisdom.

Once Wang Ping is re-issued, Zhuge Liang can even foresee the degree of public criticism he will face.

However, if Wang Ping is punished lightly, the military laws and regulations will become decorations without any binding force.

In order to give everyone a satisfactory explanation, first of all, the person directly responsible must recognize the mistake and admit the mistake himself, and then the Sergeant's Office will announce the result.

But the problem now is that Wang Ping firmly does not think he is guilty.

It's very tricky when things get to this point.

Zhuge Liang shook his head, and suddenly remembered that today was the day Ma Di left Hanzhong, so he hurried out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, went to the tower of Nanzheng City, and looked into the distance.

He promised to send Ma Su off today.
