Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 255

Lu Kai clenched his fists and slammed hard on the pillar in the room, causing the pillar to tremble and dust fell down.

Li Sheng fanned the dust away with a wave of his hand, and said in relief: "Prefect Lu, following my lord is actually a good thing."

"What do you know?!" Lu Kai glared at him angrily.

"A mere 3000 troops, even if they run rampant in Jiaozhou for a while, how can they stop the [-] troops of Soochow?"

Anger turns into anger, and Lu Kai also knows that the deal is done now, and there is no turning back.This has already expressed his attitude from his title of Wu Guo.

Li Sheng opened his mouth, intending to tell Lu Kai that Ma Di's real combat power, even with only 3000 men, could defeat the [-] soldiers of Soochow, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything in the end.

Two days later, the news came that the Wu army was washed away by the pouring water as soon as it arrived in Guishui. Lu Dai escaped with only a few cavalry.

Seeing that it turned out as expected by his brother-in-law (Ma Su), Lu Kai was shocked by his excellent military ability, but at the same time he was very anxious.In case this incident made Sun Quan furious and sent soldiers to attack, he only had three thousand soldiers on his side, how could he be an opponent?
At least 5 to [-] horses are enough.

But where can we find so many soldiers in a short period of time, and where does the money for recruiting soldiers come from?Where does the money for the equipment come from?

Most of his family's property is mainly real estate, and there is not so much liquidity.

Lu Kai, who had already brought himself into Sun Quan's hostile side, was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Ma Su drank his wine leisurely, and said, "Brother, don't worry, as long as you have money, it's not easy to recruit soldiers and horses."

"Hey, my brother-in-law who is both civil and military, wise and martial, isn't it that we have no money! Brother Yu's little property, even if it is used up, is only enough to recruit 2 horses. What about the equipment? And where do the recruits come from? That's Wu's regular army, do you think you can use this water attack strategy a second time? If I have enough money now, of course I don't need to be so anxious!"

Hearing this, Ma Su tasted the product, suddenly recalled it, looked at Lu Kai and said, "Brother, is this supporting me?"

Anyway, there is no way out, and his family has already been rewarded with the label of "Three Colleagues". Lu Kai's attitude changed quickly, "Nonsense, I'm just this younger sister, who else can I support if I don't support you?"

As he said that, Lu Kai looked at Ma Su suspiciously: "Could it be that you have a way to get money?"

Ma Di smiled and nodded.

Lu Kai was overjoyed, clapped his palms together, and made a "pop" sound: "What's the way, tell me quickly?!"

Ma Su calmly put down his wine glass: "There are three major families in Yulin County, the Wang family, the Huang family, and the Li family. !"

Lu Kai looked at Ma Su in surprise.

Do you think the money of these fourteen families is yours?
Not to mention that these fourteen families are huge and deeply rooted in the local area, and they cannot be easily moved. It is unheard of in this era to take the fourteen families to the sword, and no one in high position would dare to do so.

If you really want to do this, you will be unable to move an inch in the future, and no matter where you go, you will be fiercely resisted by the local clan.

Offending the big clan in this era means coming to an end.

Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei are good enough.All of them finally compromised with the big clan.

You, a small force just starting out, actually want to take advantage of the big clan?

Brother-in-law, what are you thinking?
Ma Di didn't argue with Lu Kai, and slowly took out a scroll of bamboo and silk, spread it on the case table, and carefully analyzed the interests of "Fighting the Landlord" for Lu Kai.

[-]. Sooner or later, Sun Quan's army will surely come.At that time, if there are not enough soldiers and horses, they can only flee.The result of escaping is to give up the hard-won city and the wealthy family under his rule to Sun Quan, and he will also fall into the dilemma of having no place to stay.

Second, if you choose to resist, you need enough soldiers, and recruiting soldiers requires a lot of money.According to the current situation, the military expenses can only be paid by the fourteen wealthy families, because the Lu family does not have enough money, and the common people have no money.

Three, once the money of the gentry is used, they will also be kidnapped on their own chariots because of this.If you don't ask them for money today, when Sun Quan's army comes, they will immediately turn around and turn against you.

Lu Kai frowned and thought about it, then nodded against his will.

I have to say that my brother-in-law's analysis makes sense.

"However, my shrewd brother-in-law, how can I get fourteen families to give money willingly? Even my second brother's previous actions depended on their faces." Lu Kai asked a question.

"That's a good question!" Ma Di snapped his fingers, "Since we used to depend on their faces, today we can take them into action."

"As for offending people, don't worry, big brother. A few days ago, Li Tong was robbed because of his concubine, and his second brother was killed in battle. Menger stabbed him to death with a sword. After Li Tong died, his son Li Da took over the Li family. .Now, it's time to settle the bill."

Good idea... Lu Kai's eyes moved, and he plotted with Ma Di for a long time, and he didn't leave until it was dark.

Ma Di returned to the new house where the red happy letter was hung, and raised his hand to Lu Meng who was full of sadness.

Immediately provoked her to yell and serve with fists.

Three days later.

Fourteen families received the invitation of the new prefect "San San" to come to the prefect's mansion to attend a banquet and discuss major issues.

When Ma Di accompanied Lu Kai to the main hall, people from fourteen families stood up to greet each other and bowed their hands in salute.

Ma Di greeted everyone present one by one, and soon came to Li Da. Li Da bowed his hands in embarrassment, and met Ma Di's meaningful gaze, his heart skipped a beat.

After everyone was seated, Ma Di returned to the main seat, asked his sister-in-law after clearing, and made a circle with his hands.

"Everyone, Mr. Shi is being polite here."

Seeing that Ma Di was wearing the official uniform of the prefect and performing such a grand ceremony, they couldn't help but feel worried.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for.

Sure enough, Ma Di said: "I think everyone already knows my origin. The ancestor of Shimou has been here for more than [-] years, and he has been kind to the people. However, this ancestral foundation was arbitrarily taken away by Sun Quan."

"Today, I invite you all to come here for one thing only, and that is to restore my family's ancestral property."

Everyone was not surprised why "Shi San" said this, and some people even guessed what he was going to say next.

That's right, the four counties in the southwestern part of Jiaozhou have been the territory of scholars since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Sun Quan seized this place by force, many people refused to accept it, and small-scale rebellions often broke out in recent years.

Now the descendants of the Shi family want to regain their ancestral property, which is reasonable and normal.

Ma Di went on to say: "Today I have defeated Lu Dai, the governor of Jiaozhou, and wiped out all his troops. In a short period of time, there will be no more soldiers and horses invading the country. But Sun Quan will definitely not let it go. According to my guess, there will be at most two more In the next month, the [-] troops of Soochow will reach Yulin County."

One hundred thousand troops?

Everyone was in a panic, whispering and discussing.

Ma Di said again: "Sun Quan and I have the hatred of killing our brother and seizing the land, and we cannot share the sky. If the other army comes, I can only be invincible by training myself to protect myself. So today I hope everyone can help I recruit troops and contribute my strength."

Realizing that Shi San (Ma Di) was going to ask them for money, everyone fell silent.

Ma Di saw that everyone became silent, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment. He said lightly: "Everyone, your money, women, houses, land, and food are all here. Once the Wu army captures Yulin County, according to their previous style of dealing with the rebels, it will be inevitable. If you want to massacre the city, then no matter how much property you have, you won’t be able to use it even if you die.”

"You will be killed by Wu Jun for collaborating with the enemy, your wives and daughters will become Wu Jun's playthings, your property will be robbed, and you will not be able to keep anything."

"However, if you contribute money today, I can recruit soldiers to protect your safety, and your property can continue to be preserved."

"After defeating Wu Jun, the property you lost will not be long before you can earn it back."

"How to choose is the most beneficial, and please weigh it yourself."

Everyone was intimidated by Ma Di's speech, and when they heard that "the lost property can be earned back", they gradually became inclined, but they were still hesitant.

The scene was still dead silent.

No one is the first to stand up.

Everyone is watching.

Seeing this, Ma Su waved his hand, and Zhang Xiu led a group of soldiers with knives in.

Seeing the soldiers entering the arena, all the Patriarchs looked a little flustered, feeling as if their buttocks were sitting on a crater.

Ma Di smiled and said to Li Da: "Patriarch Li, can you make a statement first?"

Li Da's face turned pale all of a sudden.
