Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 237 Wang Ping: I heard I'm dead?

After nearly ten days of trekking, Ma Di and his party quietly arrived at his mansion in Chengdu.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw 19-year-old Ma Wen waiting in front of the door with his five younger brothers. A family of more than a hundred people was crowded and waiting inside the door. The conscientious side.

Ma Su's gratified eyes looked at the five sons of Wen, Jian, Gong, Shun and Qian who had grown a lot higher in turn, and finally fell on the youngest son.

This little guy was only three years old, and he was timidly hugging his elder brother Ma Wen's calf, raised his round face, and stared at Ma Di for a while.

Seeing this simple-minded little guy, Ma Su suddenly felt that the fatigue he had suffered along the way was swept away.Surrounded by everyone, they entered the mansion, expressing their feelings of reunion.

Soon, the excitement dissipated.

After setting up all the entourage, Ma Su sat in his study and weighed the current situation.Ten days have passed since the impeachment of Wang Ping for dereliction of duty, and the result should have come out.

I wonder what Wang Ping's situation is now?

Is it life or death?

Ma Di has never forgotten the helplessness of being dominated by Wang Ping and Yang Yi in turn during the Battle of Jieting.Wang Ping was extremely uncooperative with his transfer arrangements and almost put him to death; Yang Yi was behind the scenes and tried to put him to death.

In view of the fact that he had just arrived in this era and his foothold was not stable, Ma Su had to hold back his breath for the time being.

Now, he has grown to a height below two people and above a million people, and it's time to settle the score.

In fact, Ma Di had expected Wang Ping's ending.

Let's not say that Zhuge Liang is very strict in governing the army, and he will not spare Wang Ping lightly.

Yang Yi and Fei Yi alone can make Wang Ping unable to eat or walk away. Neither of these two is a good opponent, especially the latter, who is good at calculating and has a terrible reputation in the city.

It was foreseeable that Yang Yi and Fei Yi would make a big fuss about Wang Ping's affairs and pour dirty water on him.

But Ma Di wasn't afraid of these things. His original intention was to push Wang Ping to the end, and he never wanted to see Wang Ping in the army again.

So even if it gets splashed with dirty water, it doesn't matter.

No one can stop him from taking control of the entire army and succeeding Zhuge Liang.

Ma Su didn't feel sorry for killing Wang Ping,
In his opinion, the four major generals under his command are far superior to Wang Ping. Through his words and deeds over the past few years, the four major generals have grown to the point where they can stand on their own.

However, these inside stories have not yet been known to the entire Shu army.In Zhuge Liang's impression, Huang Xi, Li Sheng, Zhang Xiu, and Yang Wanwan were just mediocre generals.

Even the four of them combined couldn't compare with Wang Ping.

This is also one of the reasons why Ma Su can still take away the four major generals after he resigned from his official position-because in Zhuge Liang's view, it doesn't matter whether the four major generals leave or stay, and Zhuge Liang's views also represent the opinions of most generals in the army. view.

……

Nanzheng, Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the second day after Fei Yi left, Zhuge Liang stood in front of the window for a long time, lamenting that Ma Di had given him a problem.

Because of the conclusive evidence, Zhuge Liang could not show any softness towards Wang Ping, because this might convey the impression of "unfair law enforcement" to the outside world, which would not only arouse Ma Di's dissatisfaction, but even lead to a series of unpredictable consequences.

However, if the punishment is too heavy, it will cause people to speculate that "the relationship between the prime minister and Ma Su has surpassed the boundaries of ordinary generals".

Secretly, Zhuge Liang was heartbroken.

He could see Wang Ping's military ability, but aside from the shortcoming of illiteracy, Wang Ping was actually an excellent general.

When Ji Han was employing people, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sorry for forcing such a general to death.

But what if you don't?
Several talented generals and staff members under his command were at odds with each other, and the situation of fighting openly and secretly had lasted for a long time, which made Zhuge Liang exhausted physically and mentally, but at the same time he was helpless.

Yang Yi, Wei Yan, and Ma Su are like three old enemies who don't match each other, and they pinch each other when they meet.During this period, there were feuds between Wang Ping and Ma Su, open and secret fights between Jiang Wan and Yang Yi, and Fei Yi fanning the flames.

Such a team, that is, Zhuge Liang, can maintain the overall situation without collapsing. If another person leads it, it will collapse instantly at least, and explode on the spot at worst.

Frankly speaking, throughout Ji Han, from the court to the army, very few things could be hidden from Zhuge Liang's perception.

How could a commander who personally intervened in more than [-] affairs in the army fail to see what Fei Yi was doing behind the scenes?
But it's just like Fazheng didn't stop Fazheng from wantonly retaliating against celebrities in Shu.Zhuge Liang didn't stop Fei Yi from trying to trap and kill Wang Ping.

When a general dares to use the fate of the army to vent his personal anger, he loses his value.

"Youchang, you, you are really..."

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes, sighed, and was speechless for a while.

The whole morning, Zhuge Liang stood in front of the window, motionless.At noon, Zhao Guang came to report that "Wang Ping has escaped with a fraudulent corpse." Zhuge Liang stood up abruptly, and asked in surprise, "How long have you been away?"

Zhao Guang, who was wearing armor, arched his hands and said with annoyed expression: "In the morning, four soldiers carried Wang Ping to the outskirts for burial... Not far from the city, Wang Ping suddenly rose up and killed four soldiers. Missing."

"The four soldiers all sealed their throats with one sword, and their death was clean and neat."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's complexion changed slightly in an instant, and then returned to normal, looking straight at Zhang Guang, waiting for the next sentence.

Zhao Guang continued: "After a detailed investigation by the general at the end of the day, it is most likely that Wang Ping fled north to Wei. At the same time, it does not rule out the possibility of going down the Han River to Wei or Wu, and fleeing west to Qiang. It’s not small, and there’s even the possibility of hiding in Hanzhong.”

This sentence is almost as good as not saying it.

Zhuge Liang looked at the young Zhao Guang speechlessly: "Have you ever sent someone to arrest him?"

Zhao Guang took a look and saw that Zhuge Liang didn't mean to blame him, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "General Wu Yi has sent eight people to search and arrest."

"Hmm... have you asked the prison chief, how did Wang Ping escape by feigning death?"

"The prison chief said that at that time many people saw Wang Ping hanging on the prison bars, which lasted more than a stick of incense. He checked Wang Ping's breath and confirmed that the latter had passed away, so he didn't ask the medical officer to check again. I thought about transporting it outside the city for burial today, but unexpectedly, something happened."

"The General Mo has investigated four dead soldiers, one of whom is the nephew of the prison chief. Therefore, it is speculated that his confession should be true."

"Really..." Zhuge Liang said in a low voice, frowning and pondering.

In a flash of inspiration, he thought of something extremely unreasonable, turned his head and asked, "Have you ever checked the details of the prison chief and his relationship with Wang Ping?"

"No... I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to investigate." Seeing Zhuge Liang's serious question, Zhao Guang felt a little embarrassed, "Prime Minister, I wonder if this is inappropriate..."

Zhuge Liang explained: "The jailers usually only carry iron rods, not weapons. Wang Ping is also a prisoner, and he definitely doesn't have a sharp blade on him. It is impossible to seal his throat with a sword."

Zhao Guang was shocked when he heard the words: "Prime Minister, the last general is going to arrest the prison boss."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "It's too late now, as expected, the cell boss must be alone, and has fled without a trace."

Seeing that Zhao Guang didn't seem to believe it, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Quickly check."

"Yes!" Zhao Guang cupped his fists and hurried out.

Not long after, he turned panting and said, "As expected by the Prime Minister, the head of the cell has disappeared. We will track him down to his home, but...but his home is empty, except for an old servant in his 60s."

"Prime Minister, what should we do?" Zhao Guang asked worriedly.

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to open his mouth to speak when he suddenly heard a loud voice from outside the door: "Prime Minister!"

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Guang turned their heads at the same time, seeing Yang Yi running into the hall panting, and said loudly, "Report to Prime Minister, Yi has already found Wang Ping's trace."

"Quickly tell me, where is Wang Ping now?"

"A farmer reported that he saw a burly man heading south along the Micangshan path. I speculate that this person must be Wang Ping."

"To the south?" Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned pale with shock and said, "Not good!"

"Zhao Guang listens to the order, I order you to immediately lead 500 cavalry to Chengdu day and night, and inform Ma Di of this matter!"

"Yang Yi, I order you to temporarily supervise the Hanzhong City Defense Battalion, and hunt down Wang Ping in the south. There must be no mistakes!"

When the two heard the words, they knew the seriousness of the matter, and quickly took the order talisman and took the order to leave.
