Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After listening to Wang Ping's words, Ma Su basically understood the cause and effect, and he even seemed to understand why His Majesty ordered his rescue.

This involves whether the Shu army can implement orders and prohibitions in the future, and whether it can continue to maintain the situation where Zhuge Liang says it all.

As for him, Ma Su is just an example.

"It's a pity that I, Ma Su, was willing to sacrifice my life for the country but couldn't. It's really sad!" Ma Su sighed deeply and showed an attitude of caring about the country and the people.

In other words, aside from his desire to die, Ma Di himself is pessimistic about the future of Shu Han.

With the national power of Shu Han, it would be too naive to want to compete with Wei.

If the national strength before the Yiling War was there, it might still be possible. At that time, there were many famous generals and virtuous ministers in the Shu Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of elite troops, and local prestige.

"You Chang's loyal and patriotic belief is admirable, but it's a pity that you disobeyed military orders. Even if His Majesty protects you, the Prime Minister will not be able to let you continue to lead the army in a short time." Wang Ping spread his hands and expressed that he could not help Ma Su's complaint. .

"Next, the Prime Minister will soon send troops to conquer Longxi County, and conquer the last area that is still resisting Longxi County."

"If you had followed the Prime Minister's wishes, even though you have no military success now, you can definitely be the head coach this time."

This is not nonsense. The choice of Ma Su as the guard of the street pavilion was not decided by the prime minister. Before Ma Su arrived at the military tent, Wei Yan and Wu Yi had already asked for instructions. It was a pity that the prime minister insisted on using Ma Su. It seemed that he was trained for direct military lineage.

If he had gone to Jieting honestly back then, Ma Di would now be appointed to replace Wei Yan as the vanguard general.

As a result, after Ma Di's troubles, Zhuge Liang was afraid that he would not dare to use him again in a few years.

"I didn't know the level of the Wei army. If I had known, I might as well have defended the city honestly." Hearing Wang Ping's words, Ma Su felt a pain in his balls.

If he knew that Zhang He could never survive at this level, he wouldn't want to do it.

Now that he couldn't lead troops to fight in a short time, he could only think of other ways to commit suicide.

"Wait a minute, you just said that the Prime Minister is going to lead an army to the west?" Ma Su suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at Wang Ping and asked.

"That's right, march westward to Longxi County." Wang Ping nodded and replied.

After Wang Ping's explanation, Ma Di learned about the current situation in Longxi.

There are a total of five counties in Longxi, which are under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, but there is no independent military region. The state soldiers are all in Guanzhong Sanfu.

Because Longxi was unprepared in terms of military strength and combat readiness, Longxi lacked the minimum psychological preparation when the Shu army descended from the sky.

When the Shu army arrived, the prefects of Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding counties ran away without saying a word, and the rest surrendered to the Shu army in a hurry. However, the governors of Longxi County and Guangwei County were much more stubborn. They gritted their teeth and refused to surrender when faced with the surrender of the Shu army.

During the time when Ma Su was guarding the street pavilion, the main force of the Shu army was used to attack Guangwei County in addition to besieging Qishan Fort and Shanggui.

Now the entire territory of Guangwei County has been pacified, and the Long Road has been cut off. Only Longxi County refused to surrender, so Zhuge Liang was now preparing to gather an army to attack.

After listening to Wang Ping's explanation, Ma Di's eyes gradually brightened, and he seemed to have seen a new method of committing suicide.

"I must go to see the Prime Minister immediately. Zijun is waiting for my return here!"

Ma Su stood up immediately, cupped his hands at Wang Pinggong and left quickly.

"Prime Minister, the counties in Longxi are now basically stable, and most of the stubborn resisters have surrendered."

At this time, in the Shu army camp, the chariot and cavalry general Wu Yi was reporting the results of the battle to Zhuge Liang. It can be seen from Wu Yi's excited tone that Shu will be very satisfied with this victory.

"A total of more than 20,000 puppet Wei soldiers surrendered, and the captured baggage is still being counted. The population of counties and counties is about 500,000..."

"This is our greatest victory since the Battle of Hanzhong."

"However, Longxi County still insists on refusing to surrender. The envoys recently sent to persuade them to surrender have even been threatened and will be killed if they come again."

Zhuge Liang listened to Wu Yi's report and issued new orders while nodding.

Zhuge Liang is very good at decentralizing power, but he has to do the criminal law and logistics management in the army himself. In order to save time, he had to listen to the report and do government affairs at the same time.

Only Zhuge Liang is awesome, but someone else would have suffered a nervous breakdown.

"There is no need to worry about the die-hard loyalists of the puppet Wei in Longxi County. We will send troops to attack them in a few days and they can be defeated in one battle."

Just when Zhuge Liang gave the order, the soldiers suddenly walked in,

"Prime Minister, Ma Su, who has joined the army, has something to ask for."

"Ma Su?" Zhuge Liang's face darkened at the mention of this name, but he still waved his hand and said.

"Let him in."

"only!"

Soon Ma Di was led into the military tent and saluted Zhuge Liang respectfully.

"See Prime Minister."

"Ma Su, if you don't go back to work honestly, why did you come to my place?" Zhuge Liang said in a calm tone with a bad expression on his face.

"Prime Minister, I'm here specifically for the affairs of Longxi County." Ma Su bowed his hands and said with a serious look on his face.

"I heard that the Prime Minister was going to conquer Longxi County in the near future. I thought it was inappropriate and came here to pay my respects."

"Isn't it appropriate?" Zhuge Liang gently put down the bamboo slips in his hand and signaled Wu Yi with his eyes. Wu Yi immediately understood and turned around to leave the military tent.

"What do you think is wrong?"

"Longxi County is an important border town and the westernmost point of the entire Yongzhou. It is remote and difficult to navigate and the city walls are steep. This barren land will be difficult to pacify if the Prime Minister does not come personally, but it is inappropriate for the Prime Minister to conquer in person."

"Now is the time when the whole of Longxi needs the Prime Minister to sit down and pacify the most. If the Prime Minister personally leads an army to conquer, I am afraid that those who are interested in Longxi will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

Ma Su said seriously while raising his hands, searching for more reasons to support his argument.

"So in my opinion, under the current situation, the Prime Minister's personal conquest is overkill."

"In You Chang's opinion, how should this matter be handled?" Zhuge Liang asked calmly, his expression still calm.

"It's still the same strategy as before, attack the city first and attack the heart first." Ma Di adopted the Pingnanzhong strategy he had given Zhuge Liang before.

"For Longxi County, the Long Road is dead and it is certain that they will be isolated and helpless. As long as they send people to persuade them and explain the pros and cons, they will surely surrender."

"It's useless, I've already sent them." Zhuge Liang shook his head and waved his hands.

"You Chu, the prefect of Longxi, had a firm attitude and refused to surrender. I sent people to persuade him to surrender, but he drove him out of the city. He threatened to send people to kill Li again..."

"That's because the envoys sent by the Prime Minister were incompetent and did not explain the pros and cons to them." Ma Su suddenly straightened his expression and straightened his back a little.

"It's better to let him go again. With his sharp tongue, he will surely be able to persuade the Longxi governor to put down his arms and surrender."

"In addition, I would like to issue a military order. If I cannot complete the task, I would like to deal with it under military law!"
