Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Ma Di's words made Zhuge Liang's eyes become complicated. He looked at Ma Di for a long time before sighing.

"I have other plans to go to Longxi County to persuade you to surrender. It's not your turn, Ma Su, to do this yet."

"Just fulfill your responsibilities in the army conscientiously. I will naturally not forget you when you are useful and useful."

"Prime Minister, only Su is the most suitable person for this matter!" Ma Su said with a firm look and a firm tone.

"If we let other people come, if the talks collapse and there is no chance of survival, then my big man will lose one person."

"He is no match for the guilty minister. Even if he is killed when he goes to Longxi to persuade him to surrender, he will not suffer much loss to the Han. If he is lucky enough to persuade him to surrender, it will be a gain for the Han. Why not do it?"

"Prime Minister, if you can exchange your life for the lives of thousands of men in Shu, that's a good idea!"

Ma Di tried hard to persuade, and Zhuge Liang was a little moved by his behavior.

After being the prime minister for so many years, Zhuge Liang could certainly tell that Ma Di was sincere. He even had the illusion that Ma Su came here to seek death.

From Ma Di, Zhuge Liang seemed to see the virtues of a gentleman in the prosperous Han Dynasty.

It's just a bit exaggerated, but the late emperor was right about this.

However, this time Zhuge Liang did not directly reject it, but thought for a moment.

"But if you are not afraid of death and are willing to go to Longxi as an envoy to persuade him to surrender, I will agree to your request." Zhuge Liang thought for a while, then suddenly relented and agreed to Ma Su's proposal.

"But you need to set off in three days and take a fast horse to Longxi." At this point, Zhuge Liang paused and looked at Ma Su thoughtfully.

If the negotiation fails, it doesn't matter, just come back as soon as possible, no need to stay too long. "

"I obey the Prime Minister's order." Ma Su was overjoyed and quickly accepted the order.

I finally convinced Zhuge Liang. Whether I can successfully commit suicide depends on my operation.

This was too simple for Ma Su, not to mention that You Chu, the leader on the opposite side, was a loyal minister of Cao Wei with an extremely tough attitude.

According to historical records, Zhuge Liang's northern expedition to Longxi led to the surrender of three counties in Longxi within a few days. Only Longxi County and Guangwei County insisted on not surrendering, and the Shu army attacked repeatedly but failed.

In the end, because Ma Su lost his street pavilion, the Shu army was forced to retreat, and Longxi County was saved.

Later, You Chu also received an audience from Cao Rui and paid homage to the Prince Consort.

For such a loyal minister of Cao Wei, it would be too easy for him to kill him in anger.

The advantage is mine!

When Ma Di left the military tent, Zhuge Liang shook his head gently.

"This boy seems to be a bit of a gentleman."

"Could it be that just for this reason, the Prime Minister wrote to Chengdu to ask Your Majesty to fish for him?"

At this time, a young scribe slowly walked out from behind the screen and said with a smile.

This person is none other than Chang Shi Jiang Wan, who just came from Chengdu.

"If it was just like this, I wouldn't do it." Zhuge Liang shook his head gently and suddenly laughed.

"Although this kid Ma Su is exaggerated and arrogant, he is indeed capable. And compared to Wei Yan, he is still young and has no ambition. It is a blessing for the man to leave such a person to Your Majesty."

"It's rare for the Prime Minister to comment like this in the army. Does the Prime Minister want him to be your successor?" Jiang Wan was a little surprised, and after a moment of silence, he asked.

"It's still early, I still have to test it for a while." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said calmly.

There was a long silence in the military tent, except for the sound of Zhuge Liang flipping through the bamboo slips.

"Prime Minister, I will return to Chengdu tomorrow." After a long time, Jiang Wan said.

"Your Majesty misses you very much, and since the Northern Expedition there are many people in Chengdu who are not so honest..."

"It's okay. I'll write a letter to your Majesty. If you have any questions, you can ask Dong Yun and Fei Yi. You can also help your Majesty." Zhuge Liang calmly reviewed the military newspaper and didn't seem to care.

"Sichuan has been stable for many years, and some treacherous officials are still unable to cause trouble."

"Remember to tell your majesty that Longxi has been recovered and there is hope for helping the Han Dynasty."

After receiving the appointment from Zhuge Liang, Ma Su immediately started preparations, and was fully prepared to persuade him to surrender.

When Wang Ping heard that Ma Su was going to persuade Longxi to surrender again as an envoy, he was shocked and quickly persuaded Ma Su to think twice.

You Chu is already engaged in a battle between trapped beasts, and now even if he doesn't go to conquer, he will be in chaos in a short time. If you go to persuade someone to surrender at this time, you will most likely be used as a backstop.

It is a moral standard for two countries not to fight each other without fighting. A dying person will not be moral.

After listening to Wang Ping's advice, Ma Su's eyes shone and he packed up faster.

In the end, Wang Ping did not persuade Ma Su, and three days later, Ma Su embarked on the road to Longxi as he wished.

But when he got on the horse, Ma Su was startled when he saw a familiar person.

"Yao Hu? Why are you here?"

"General, it's really you." Yao Hu was extremely excited when he saw Ma Su and saluted Ma Su.

"I was ordered to protect the envoys heading to Longxi. I heard that it was you, the general, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it was really you."

"Aren't you a captain? If you don't lead the troops and charge forward, you will do this kind of work?" Ma Di raised his eyebrows and asked strangely.

"I don't know. This is also the first time for me to receive such an appointment. But I heard that it was the prime minister's arrangement, so I have nothing to say." Yao Hu shook his head and answered honestly.

"Okay, in that case, I'll be relying on you along the way." Ma Su nodded, although he didn't understand it for a while but he was still very satisfied.

He knew Yao Hu's level and was Zhang He's enemy in one round. If he encounters any bandits, he will be safe with Yao Hu at his side when he returns home.

"Then let's go!"

Longxi County is located in the westernmost of the five counties in Longzhou. It was once the frontline of the Han Dynasty against the Western Qiang. After Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, Longxi was incorporated into Yongzhou and placed under the jurisdiction of Guo Huai.

It is not far from Xixian County. Ma Su and his party reached the boundary of Longxi after riding for several days.

It only takes one more day for Ma Su and others to reach the headquarters of Longxi County.

However, on this last day, Ma Su and others were attacked.

That night, the following Shu army set up camp as usual and set up sentries for defense.

However, just when the Shu soldiers were preparing to rest, a burst of war drums suddenly sounded from outside the camp.

"Kill me!!"

Along with a Qiang roar in the dark night, countless javelins were shot out of the darkness.

Shu soldiers are well-trained and respond quickly when they hear the roar. After these hundreds of javelins were thrown, they did not cause many casualties to the Shu army.

"What happened?" Ma Di, who was preparing to rest in the military tent, immediately rushed up and asked loudly when he saw the scene outside.

"Join the army and hide quickly." Yao Hu quickly grabbed Ma Su and explained nervously.

"The Qiang people are coming to rob the Tao!"
