Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 256
Lu Kai, who was on the side, asked at the right time: "My second brother was killed by this man's father because of his infidelity with thieves?"

Li Da's face turned paler.

If the crime of "fornication with thieves" is deducted, it will not only be solved by donating money.

That would ruin the family and ruin the family.

So, he didn't know how to express his opinion.

Donate half of your property?Firstly, it was too painful, and secondly, it might not be able to satisfy the appetite of the new prefect.

Donate all your belongings?Then just kill him now.

How can a person who is used to living a prosperous life endure the suffering of having nothing.

While hesitating, he suddenly saw the old head of the Wang family among the three major families clasping his hands and saying: "For the sake of my lord's ambition, I am willing to donate 500 million yuan."

Then he ordered his family to go home to pull money.

Hearing this, Li Da and Patriarch Huang were immediately surrounded.

Especially Patriarch Huang, his brain has been completely shut down. Their three big families are the leaders of fourteen families. If the three join forces, even the prefect of the city will have to give three points of favor.

At least, don't dare to look so ugly.

But now one confessed on the spot and directly donated half of the family property, while the other was trembling with fright and was at a loss.

Seeing that Li Da and Patriarch Huang were still hesitating, Ma Su nodded with a sneer. Zhang Xiu came up to Li Da with a knife and slashed across it. On the colonnade next to it, a strong smell of blood filled the entire lobby in an instant.

Li Da's eyes widened, and he fell down straight.

Blood was still gushing from the cut neck.

All the gentry who saw this scene shivered.

It's not that Patriarch Huang has never seen someone kill someone on the spot, but that's when he kills others, such as punishing disobedient servants, or killing other people's wives, concubines, and property.He has never experienced this kind of scene on the side of being killed.

I was a little confused on the spot.

Ma Di immediately shouted: "The Li family has been involved with thieves, and has been punished, and all family property and family members have been confiscated."

Fornicating thieves?
If the Li family really had an affair with the thieves, wouldn't the thieves at that time be you, the prefect?
You look so ugly.

Ma Su looked at Patriarch Huang with a smile, "Master Huang, what do you say?"

The head of the Huang family was shocked, and when he realized it, he immediately declared his position loudly: "For the sake of my lord's ambition, this old man also donated 500 million!"

Ma Di raised the bamboo silk in his hand and looked at it, frowning: "500 million? Isn't that right, Mr. Huang, your family property is the largest among the three major families, and you only donated 500 million? You are looking down on me, come on." people……"

Zhang Xiu held the knife and looked at Patriarch Huang with a murderous look.

Patriarch Huang was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the spot, and hurriedly said, "Big...big...big...my lord, I will donate 800 million!"

"good, very good!"

Ma Di raised his hand to help Mr. Huang up, and said gently: "It's cold on the ground, Mr. Huang, please get up and talk."

Patriarch Huang waved to his followers tremblingly with a weeping face.

Ma Su looked at the remaining eleven smaller families.

…………

It was night, and the prefect's mansion was brightly lit with candles.

Ma Di, Lu Kai, Yang Wanwan, Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu watched the government soldiers report the amount of money they had counted one by one. A quick calculation.

Lu Kai looked at the mountains of gold, silver and copper coins on the ground with bright eyes, happily thinking about what to buy first and what to buy next.

The four major generals are also very happy, especially Huang Xi and Li Sheng, one is because they got so much money empty-handed; the other is that they finally opened up the situation in Jiaozhou, and they slammed the failure of the previous lurking, and they were chased and killed by Wu Jun to the embarrassment Unbearable malice.

Ma Di frowned.

The numbers were quickly counted.

Fourteen families donated a total of 6000 million yuan.

This little money is only enough to recruit [-] soldiers, that is, to buy a set of simple weapons, armor, bows and arrows for [-] soldiers.

Together with the 6000 million funded by the Lu family, a total of [-] soldiers can be recruited.

The two counties of Yulin and Jiaoxi have a total official population of 26. Counting the [-] soldiers currently in service, the militia ratio is close to ten to one.

This is almost the upper limit of young adults that can be recruited in Yulin County and Jiaoshu County.

The number of soldiers is barely enough, but such things as food and grass have not yet been settled.

Lu Kai also frowned.

He thought it would be easy to equip [-] to [-] troops with his own liquidity, but he didn't expect that it was only enough to equip [-] troops.

After the idlers had retreated, Lu Kai said to Ma Su, "Brother-in-law, this money is enough, what about the food and grass?"

Lu Kai didn't even dare to mention horses, because it was useless to mention them, as Jiaozhou and several surrounding states didn't produce horses at all.

Even if you have a horse, you can't afford it!

Ma Di put Lu Ming's statistics back on the desk, raised his head, looked at Lu Kai and said, "Then the only thing we can do is use the daytime trick."

No, brother-in-law, pulling the wool like this will make the sheep bald, Lu Kai opened his mouth, and was about to persuade him.

But Ma Di waved his hand to stop him and said, "I understand my elder brother's concerns, but have my elder brothers ever understood my concerns?"

"We are still very weak now. If we want to stand firm in this troubled world, fight against Sun Quan, and protect the peace of the people of Jiaozhou, we must first have the power to protect ourselves."

After a pause, Ma Di said again: "If Sun Quan's army arrives in two months' time, and we have no food in our hands, and the strength of the soldiers is insufficient, then we may all be doomed."

"It doesn't matter if you die, people will die eventually, but are you willing to die in the hands of Sun Quan so uselessly?"

Lu Kai stopped talking. Although he didn't believe that Sun Quan had such a great ability to defeat his brother-in-law (Ma Su), who was both civil and military, he also knew that a clever woman can't cook without rice.No matter how good the brother-in-law can fight, he must have the corresponding soldiers, equipment, food and grass to be able to wrestle with Sun Quan.

Otherwise, everything is out of the question.

……

It was already late, and Lu Meng sat alone beside the dressing table, resting her chin on her hands, looking at herself in the bronze mirror with a spring face, both happy and worried.

Fortunately, this gentleman is very capable.

The worry is, this gentleman is too capable.

At one o'clock, Lu Meng finally saw her husband came back, and quickly waved her hand to signal the servant girl to bring the food that had been reheated three times, and stood up to greet her.

After dinner, the husband and wife sat at the table and talked softly.

Lu Meng asked the question that had been in her heart for several days: "Husband, why doesn't that woman with high military strength come to Fucheng?"

In fact, what Lu Meng wanted to ask was: Who is that woman's husband, but she didn't want Shi San (Ma Su) to think too much, so she turned a tactful corner.

Ma Su stared at Lu Meng, smiled and said, "She is not used to life in a big city, so she stayed in the cottage."

"Then does she have a husband and son-in-law?" Lu Meng turned a corner and asked again.

"Of course." Ma Su refused to say another word.

"Her husband is excellent, right?"

"That's right!"

"Her husband...does the concubine know her?"

"I know." Ma Di suppressed a smile secretly, and said in his heart: Not only do you know each other, but you also sleep with her husband in your arms every day.

Unable to ask the key point eagerly, Lu Meng twisted back and forth anxiously, tightly clutching Ma Di's big hand, and asked in great confusion: "Then where is his husband?"

"A native of Jingzhou."

Lu Meng looked up at Ma Su, thinking that her husband is from Jiaozhou, not from Jingzhou, she suddenly smiled and said softly, "Husband, it's getting late, let's go to rest earlier."

Ma Su laughed out loud, and followed suit.

Perhaps it was because of the unraveling of the knot, Lu Meng was particularly enthusiastic that night.

……

The next morning.

The principals of the thirteen powerful families were invited to the prefect's mansion again.

Ma Su didn't talk nonsense with them this time, he just took out a list and asked Lu Ming to read it to them.

Lu Ming opened the list, and when he saw the long list of names on it, he immediately let out an "ah" in surprise.

Wait until you see the numbers behind the names.

Lu Ming said "Ah" in surprise again, his face full of surprise.

Lu Kai's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "Ah, what? Read?"

Lu Ming braced himself and read according to the list: "The Wang family donated [-] shi of grain, the Huang family donated [-] shi of grain, the Song family donated [-] shi of grain, the Shi family donated [-] shi of grain, the Lin family donated [-] shi of grain, and the Qin family donated [-] shi of grain. Two thousand shi, the Zhu family donated two thousand shi of grain, the Zhang family donated two thousand shi of grain, the Yang family..."

After reading the list in one breath, Lu Ming felt relieved.

As soon as he heard the amount of food and grass that his family needed to donate, the Patriarch of the Huang family couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately said with a sad face, "My lord, I really don't have that much food in my family, why don't you also donate five thousand shi?"

Zhang Xiu rushed over with a knife in his hand like a gust of wind.

The long knife slashed, and the head flew up. The bright red blood stimulated everyone's nerves to the greatest extent.

Ma Di looked around at the crowd and said calmly: "At this time of crisis, the head of the Huang family refused to donate. It is unbearable. Now I announce that all property and family members of the Huang family will be confiscated."

Refuse to donate?

When did the head of the Huang family refuse to donate?He just wanted to pay less, so he was killed directly?
The faces of the remaining twelve family speakers in the hall changed, and they looked at Ma Di in horror.

Ma Su maintained a calm tone: "As for the contents of this list, who agrees and who opposes?"

"I am willing to donate." Everyone said in unison.

……

The spring breeze picked up.

The news came that Lu Dai once again gathered [-] soldiers and went straight to Jiaoshu County.

Lu Kai hurried to Ma Su to discuss countermeasures.

Lu Dai didn't notice last time, and was defeated in the scheme. This time, he directly killed and shamed with aggression. It was obvious that he came to settle the previous account.

Because the brother-in-law (Ma Di) tricked Lu Dai here in his name.

It would be a lie to say that I am not panicking.Lu Kai persuaded Ma Di to immediately mobilize troops to deal with the upcoming offensive and keep the shame county safe.

Ma Di said confidently: "Brother, don't panic, you let Lu Dai escape last time, and you will never let him escape this time. You only need to do this, this, this, this..."

After listening to the face-to-face instruction, Lu Kai felt relieved.So according to Ma Di's instructions, he wrote a letter to Lu Dai, the governor of Jiaozhou, with provocative and mocking words in the letter, asking Lu Dai to come to Jiaosha County to deal with him quickly.

As soon as the letter here was sent out, a questioning letter from Lu Xun, who was in Jingzhou, arrived.

In the letter, Lu Xun sternly condemned Lu Kai's behavior of betraying Wu and surrendering to the bandits in a high-ranking tone, thinking that mere bandits have no future, and this will kill the entire branch of the Lu family.

In the end, Lu Xun consoled him earnestly and sincerely: As long as Lu Kai is willing to return from his misfortune, he will definitely keep him safe in front of Sun Quan.Otherwise, when the army arrives, it will be the death of Lu Kai's family.

Lu Kai turned his head and threw the letter aside, not paying attention to it.Instead, he drank wine with Ma Di.

Fighting is tomorrow.

If there is wine today, let's get drunk first.

The sky gradually darkened.

Ma Di returned to the backyard with a three-point drunkenness, and saw Lu Meng wearing a bright red outfit for the first time, reviewing martial arts, the belt tightened her already delicate waist, and her figure fluctuated vertically and horizontally. , The end is beautiful and moving.

Ma Di hiccupped, stepped forward with drunken eyes, and put a hand on Lu Meng's shoulder: "Madam, let's practice?"

Lu Meng stopped her posture, and Yingying glanced at him: "Practice, practice, I will not lose to my husband."

Immediately, Ma Di thought of something, and suggested, "Why don't you add a lottery?"

Lu Meng nodded.

Ma Su said: "I won, Madam will play with me to the fullest tonight."

Lu Meng's pretty face turned hot, she spat secretly, and nodded coquettishly: "Then what if the concubine wins?"

Ma Di chuckled: "Then I will pay my wife to have a good time tonight."

Embarrassed, Lu Meng took advantage of Ma Di's unpreparedness, stretched out her hand to lift one of his arms, turned around and put her back against Ma Di's chest, bent down to exert strength, and wanted to throw him over the shoulder.

Seeing this, Ma Di immediately hugged Lu Meng's lower back with his free hand. With a force on his waist, his center of gravity sank again, firmly resisting her upward force.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Meng spun around and broke free from Ma Di's trap, and was about to give him a horse throw, but found that her husband's foot was extremely stable and motionless, and she almost fell down.

"Madam (husband) is very skilled!" The two praised at the same time.

Lu Meng didn't dare to underestimate the enemy anymore. She always thought that although she was not as strong as her husband, she was stronger than him in force and extremely flexible, so she must win easily.

Unexpectedly, as long as she has physical contact with this man, she will be unable to use her strength like a conditioned reflex.

As a result, many of her moves and techniques were discounted, failing to achieve the desired effect.

The bright moon rises slowly from the treetops.

In the backyard, the two were still fighting.

But it's no longer a martial arts competition, and the battlefield has changed from the courtyard to the room.

……

Lu Dai is 71 years old this year. He thinks that he has seen all kinds of storms and waves in his life, and he has already practiced the mentality of not changing his face when a mountain collapses in front of him.

But when he received Lu Kai's letter, he still exploded, holding the letter in his hand, and yelled at Lu Kai, "Damn it!", "I will kill you!".

At the same time, Lu Dai was defeated, and the news that Yulin County was occupied by bandits also spread to Jianye.

The sudden rebellion in Jiaozhou had a great impact on Soochow's political situation, and even directly disrupted Wu's next plan.

Once Jiaozhou is lost, it means that Soochow will face the dilemma of being enemies on three sides.Prior to this, due to the end of a series of Northern Expeditions in Shu, Wei and Shu had been in a tense strategic balance in the border area.

Sun Quan originally planned to change the focus of his strategy, and sent General Lu Xun to go upstream by water instead, passing through the Wu Gorge, and attacking Yong'an and Badong in the Kingdom of Shu.

But before this plan was launched, Jiaozhou was in chaos.

Sun Quan got the information that the instigator of the rebellion was Shi Xie's youngest son, Shi San, who came out of nowhere, and the branch of the Lu family, which Soochow had been relying on for so long, was the accomplice of this rebellion.

The news was so explosive that it stunned Sun Quan, making him think that Lu Xun was also one of the participants.

Therefore, the first decision Sun Quan made was to send Zhuge Jin to Jiangling, in the name of helping Lu Xun, but in fact it was to arrange eyeliners and take away part of Lu Xun's military power.

Subsequently, Sun Quan ordered Zhu Huan, Quan Cong, Ding Feng, and other generals to lead an army of [-] to Jiaozhou south.

The Battle of Jiaozhou slowly kicked off.
