Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 245 Ma Di: Su was born in vain and worked in Xiangyang
What Ma Di thought was that instead of using assassination methods to win Soochow and being criticized for "winning without force" in the future, it would be better to take advantage of the absence of war and plant a few more hidden mines in Wei and Wu, so that in the future they can Come in handy.

Thinking of this, he took Axiu back to the inner room, spread out the self-made "Big Han Territory Map", and looked back and forth between Jiaozhou and Bingzhou.

Start with Jiaozhou to create trouble for Sun Quan?Or start from the grassland to create trouble for Cao Wei?
Ma Su hesitated.

Both have pros and cons.

The advantage of attacking Jiaozhou first is that after taking this place, it can be connected with the existing territory of Shuhan, which is easy to control.

And now there is a good opportunity.

As we all know, the present is a great chaotic world, Wei, Shu and Wu are separated from each other, and they have been fighting each other for decades, attracting the attention of the world to the border between the three countries.

However, in the Jiaozhi area in the south far from the Central Plains, an eight-year-long Battle of Jiaozhi also broke out, and this chaos also triggered fierce competition among the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.

The cause of this war starts from 400 years ago.

In 214 BC, after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he dispatched generals Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo to lead hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to conquer Baiyue in the south, and soon included the Lingnan area into the territory of the Qin Dynasty.After that, the Qin Dynasty established three counties in the Lingnan area, namely Nanhai County, Guilin County and Xiang County.In 209 BC, the peasant uprising broke out at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and the Central Plains fell into chaos. Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo negotiated and began to separate the Lingnan area. Soon after Ren Xiao died of illness, Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue Kingdom and became the ruler of the Lingnan area.

During Zhao Tuo's rule of Lingnan, Xiangjun was divided into two, and Jiaozhi and Jiuzhen were established.In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (111 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han pacified Nanyue, and then established the Jiaozhi Governor's Department in the old place of Nanyue, and set up 9 counties under the Jiaozhi Governor's Department. The area under the jurisdiction of the Jiaozhi Governor's Department includes today's Guangxi, Guangdong and There are a large number of areas in northern Vietnam, among which three counties are located in later Vietnam, namely Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County and Rinan County.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains fell into troubled times, and the Jiaozhi Governor's Department (later renamed Jiaozhou Governor's Department) also experienced some unrest at this time.First, in the last years of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong, riots broke out in the Jiaozhi area, and Zhu Fu (the son of the famous Eastern Han general Zhu Jun who quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion) appointed by the Eastern Han court was killed.Later, Zhang Jin, the new governor appointed by the Han Dynasty, was also killed by his own general shortly after he took office, and Jiaozhou was in chaos.

At this time, the Eastern Han Empire was already on the verge of collapse, and a large number of warlord separatists appeared inside.When Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, learned that Zhang Jin had been killed, he did not notify the Eastern Han court held hostage by Dong Zhuo. Instead, he appointed his subordinate Lai Gong as the governor of Jiaozhou.

The court of the Eastern Han Dynasty was very displeased when they heard the news. In order to restrict Liu Biao’s control over Jiaozhi, the court quickly appointed Shi Xie, a local official who was born in Guangxin, Jiaozhou, as Suinan Zhonglang General, and ordered him to command the seven counties of Jiaozhi. .

Since the Eastern Han Empire had entered the period of warlord separatism at this time, the court had almost no control over the various places, so although Shi Xie's official position was appointed by the Eastern Han court, and he was also loyal to the Han Dynasty in name, in essence Shi Xie had become a He appointed his younger brothers as the prefects of the counties, and completely controlled the four counties in the south of Jiaozhou, namely Jiaozhi, Heqing, Jiuzhen and Rinan.

At this point, the Shi family began to control the four counties in the south of Jiaozhou for 30 years, so that when the Three Kingdoms came to power, Sun Quan could not control all of Jiaozhou for a while, so he simply divided the original Jiaozhou governor into two. The four counties in the north of Jiaozhou were divided from Jiaozhou and set up as Guangzhou, and Lu Dai was appointed as the governor of Guangzhou.

After several years of repeated wrestling, in the fourth year of Jianxing in the Shu Han Dynasty (AD 226), Lu Dai defeated and killed Shi Wei (son of Shi Xie), eradicated all the forces of the Shi family, and brought all the Jiaozhou area under the rule of the State of Wu. Down.Afterwards, Sun Quan abolished the Guangzhou organizational system and merged the original four counties of Guangzhou into Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou restored the administrative division of the nine counties.

In view of the fact that the Shi family has been deeply supported by the people during the 30 years in control of Jiaozhou, and it has only been five years since the Shi family was destroyed. There must be many.

However, this move (attacking Jiaozhou) also has disadvantages. Once Sun Quan knows the truth, the Shu-Wu alliance, which seems to be in harmony with each other, will inevitably break down immediately.Even Sun Quan would go to war against the Shu Han.

Thinking of this, Ma Di set his sights on the grassland area in the north of Bingzhou.

Considering that the state of Wu has regarded the Shuhan as a competitor and can no longer play a role in containing the state of Wei, the Shuhan must find new helpers to check and balance the state of Wei and share the pressure.

Although the victory of Liangzhou and Longyou greatly increased the national power of the Shu Han and greatly surpassed the Wu State, the general pattern of Wei being strong and Shu being weak has not changed.

The huge size advantage possessed by the Wei State cannot be made up for by a few victories in wars.

Fortunately, after seizing the Longliang area, the location advantage was instantly reversed.Firstly, the Shu army no longer had to travel through the rugged and difficult ancient Qinling Mountains to launch the Northern Expedition, and secondly, it was able to connect with Kebi Neng, who is occupying Monan.

And Kirbineng is Ma Di's newly chosen helper to check and balance Wei.

Helping Kirby become stronger and creating huge pressure on Wei's northern border is a perfect alternative strategy.

But there are pros and cons to this move as well.

The advantage is that Wei State will not be able to concentrate on dealing with the Shu Han for a long time; the disadvantage is that the three forces of Shu, Wei, and Kirbineng will be involved in the quagmire of war, and the neglected Wu State will take the opportunity to enter the "Shu Han" "Hunter role", while silently developing, while waiting for opportunities.It is just like the situation in the beautiful country during World War II that "sold arms neutrally in the early stage, and picked the fruits in the later stage".

This situation is what Ma Di does not want to see.

He couldn't bear the fact that when the Shu Han army was at war with the Wei State, there was a powerful country behind it.

Ma Su is actually not afraid of the state of Wu. He is confident enough to defeat Lu Xun and disintegrate the state of Wu. Wei Guo.

As the most capable general of the Shu Han, he cannot hand over the back of the Shu Han to an unreliable ally, so Ma Di tends to the latter when it comes to attacking Wei first or attacking Wu first-although this will make Shu and Wu The league is gone, but at least let yourself breathe.

He felt that Soochow's strategy of planning to rule the river is very good, and the Shu Han can also adopt this strategy. Anyway, the ultimate goal is to defeat Wei, so why not destroy Wu first and then conquer Wei?
So, after a long struggle between "Kewei" and "Controlling Wu", Ma Di poked his finger in the "Jiaozhou area" and shouted outside:
"Come on, prepare a horse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw A Xiu pouted her red lips with a resentful expression on her face.Ma Su quickly changed his words:

"Come on, prepare the carriage!"

Axiu then lowered her head and smiled, turned around, bent down...

He happily packed up his luggage.

Soon, the four major ministries who received the order gathered together. When they heard that they were going to cause chaos in Soochow, all of them were extremely excited, especially Huang Xi and Li Sheng, gnashing their teeth and gearing up, eager to leave immediately.

Last time, they were ordered to lurk in Wudi to cause trouble for Sun Quan, but they were beaten up and fled back in despair, often ashamed.

Now it's all right, go with the general, it's time to win back.

Before leaving, Ma Di wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang, which wrote eloquently:
"Su was born in vain and lived in Xiangyang for generations. Gou Quan's life was in troubled times, and he only wanted to help the Han Dynasty. The first emperor thought that his ministers were ignorant, exaggerated, and could not be reused. Fortunately, the prime minister knew the pearl with his eyes and consulted Su on the current affairs. Grateful, so Prime Minister Xu used it to drive away. He was appointed when the Southern Expedition was barren, and was ordered to be in Jieting when it was in danger: It has been nine years since I came..."

"Now Longliang has been flattened, and the army and rations are sufficient. It was supposed to set the Central Plains in the north, wipe out the traitors, revive the Han Dynasty, and return to the old capital. However, Su was deeply concerned about Wu's troubles and feared that he would repeat the mistakes of Guan Yu in the past, so he personally Going to the land of Wu, I want to turn my hands into clouds, and turn my hands into rain. First, the snow rat Wu stabs the hatred twice, and then plans to rule the river to attack Wei's great cause. If the prime minister can cooperate with Su's action, then I am very grateful. I should stay away now. I am passionate and arrogant, and I hope you will forgive me..."

……

Just as Ma Di led Axiu and the four generals galloping all the way to Jiaozhou, Zhuge Liang fell into a state of anger and shock, dumbfounding.

Hanzhong County, Nanzheng City Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhuge Liang is sitting here, training soldiers and speaking martial arts, sorting out internal affairs, and at the same time planning the next Northern Expedition to Cao Wei.

The young general Jiang Wei hurried into the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, Ma Di sent someone to send a letter."

"Oh? Let me read it!" Zhuge Liang quickly took the letter and opened it to read.

Seeing the familiar beginning of the letter, Zhuge Liang was taken aback immediately, secretly wondering why Ma Di copied his "List of Teachers", and then his heart moved, secretly feeling something was wrong.

After reading the complete letter, Zhuge Liang's expression changed drastically. He threw the letter on the ground angrily, and reprimanded him: "Ma Su made his own claim and did not rest in Shu County. He went to Jiaozhou alone! If Lu Xun learned of this report and led an army to conquer, If Ma Su besieged in the city again, there will be no return... Cough...cough cough..."

Jiang Wei's expression also changed when he heard the words, he lowered his head to pick up the letter, and read it hastily: "Prime...Prime Minister, what should I do?"

Zhuge Liang's chest heaved violently, and he said angrily: "Even if Ma Di can open up the situation in Jiaozhou, wouldn't the Wu-Shu alliance disappear in an instant... Cough, cough..."

Jiang Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, it's important to take care of your health. It's not worth getting angry about this. Ma Su has both civil and military skills. I think this move should be carefully considered..."

Zhuge Liang took a few deep breaths, waved his hands, and signaled that he was still in good health. He shook his head remorsefully, "I regret that I should have left Ma Di in Chengdu. I should have brought him into the army..."

Jiang Wei thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, although Wei is not talented, I would like to rush to Jiaozhou immediately to persuade Ma Di to return."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Jiang Wei, shook his head, and sighed, "Ma Di has been away for half a month. Hanzhong is thousands of miles away from Jiaozhou, and the journey takes two or three months. It's too late for you to go now."

Jiang Wei put down his hands slowly, and said again and again: "Prime Minister, what Ma Su said in the letter is quite reasonable. Why can't I, Ji Han, rule by crossing the river and destroy Wu first and then Wei?!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang was startled, and blurted out: "Wei is strong, while Ji Han and Dong Wu are weak. The two weak will take the lead in killing each other. Isn't it giving Wei the advantage of being a fisherman?"

Jiang Wei thought for a while, and retorted cautiously: "Prime Minister, today's Ji Han is no longer the old Ji Han. Besides, Ma Su went to Soochow without a single soldier. If he can really overthrow Jiangdong, why not for?"

"With the prime minister here, my 30 army can't hold back a mere Wei country?"

Zhuge Liang was startled again, suddenly felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding, and automatically substituted Ma Di into the military and political system of Shu Han.

In fact, Ma Su is now a separate entity.

Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with Shu Han.

So he secretly paid: Ma Di went to Jiaozhou at this time, could it be that he really had a good strategy to subvert Soochow?

No way?
Han Xinsheng is not so powerful, is he?
Can sneak attacks be used all the time?

Doesn't war focus on the combination of odd and positive? Why do all military laws fail everywhere in Ma Su?
It's not that Zhuge Liang didn't understand, but felt strange.

Throughout the past few years, Ma Di has led the army to fight, and he has specifically picked the enemy's weak points to attack. In addition to sneak attacks or sneak attacks, the attacks are also particularly ruthless.Once the main force on the opposite side comes to fight, Ma Su will immediately retreat into the city and say nothing.

Not to mention, this style of play made Sima Yi helpless when he saw it.

Could it be that Ma Di can really make a contribution this time?

impossible,
It is absolutely impossible.

Ma Su has only six people, how could it be possible to subvert a country with a population of 300 million?

If he really succeeds in overthrowing it, it will be his death.

Such a person, no emperor will rest assured.

While meditating, the generals came one after another after hearing the news.

Yang Yi ran up to Zhuge Liang in two or three steps, presented an urgent letter, and said: "Prime Minister, I don't know who sent a handwritten letter, it's from my Shu Han intelligence system."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang was astonished, and quickly took the handwritten letter and looked at it carefully.

I saw an extremely abstract picture drawn on the letter, with a few strokes outlining three stick figures, the largest stick figure is in the north, and two smaller stick figures live in the south.The stickman in the east has eight daggers under his feet and two daggers in his hand, facing the stickman in the west, the purpose is unknown.

"This..." Zhuge Liang looked confused.

What is this drawing? !

Let’s not talk about the crooked drawing, let’s not talk about the sketchy drawing, can’t you write a word to make a note?

Wait, word?

Could it be that this information was sent by illiterate Wang Ping?Looking at the handwriting, it is somewhat similar to the picture book he sent from the street pavilion that day.

Could it be that what Wang Ping wanted to express was: "Sun Quan sent [-] troops to Jiangling, the purpose is unknown?"

That should be what it means.

Just analyzing this letter, Zhuge Liang felt that he had exhausted his brains, and at least lost a few days of life.

Well, since there is a change in Soochow, we have to guard against it.

Zhuge Liang squeezed the letter, pondering over and over again.

There are currently [-] soldiers around Yong'an, and there is no need to increase the number of troops.

It is necessary to send a general with both civil and military skills to guard it.

Who to send?

Zhuge Liang's eyes flicked across the faces one by one, automatically ignoring Wei Yan, and finally fell on Jiang Wei.
