Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 109 Withdraw to Longyou

"I met Jiang Changshi."

When he saw Jiang Wan, Ma Di didn't show off and bowed politely.

Jiang Wan was a kind man, and historically he was the prime minister's appointed successor. Moreover, Ma Su also knew this person. His ability and virtue were both online and he was a kind and good person.

"Youchang, how long has the Prime Minister been gone before you caused such a big mess?" Jiang Wan looked at Ma Su and shook his head helplessly.

The last time I saw this kid was during the trial in Xi County, he brought an edict to pardon him.

At that time, Jiang Wan saw that this boy was upright and awe-inspiring, and the Prime Minister thought highly of him, so he thought he was a talent.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a while, and the chaos has become bigger and bigger each time.

"What Chang Shi said is wrong. Li Yan attempted a coup against the prime minister, and after the Dongchuang incident, he planned to defect to Cao Wei. How can this be called chaos?" Ma Su said that he was not panic at all and spoke plausibly.

"If I don't execute him urgently, I'm afraid Chencang and even the entire Longyou will be lost."

"Okay, I know you can do it, His Majesty has issued an edict." Jiang Wan shook his head, too lazy to argue with Ma Su.

Ma Su did handle it very well. He could sense that Li Yan was planning a coup and executed him urgently. But for the prime minister, this matter is still very complicated. Just appeasing the scholars of the Dongzhou faction is a trouble.

Ma Su was relieved with one blow, but the Prime Minister still had to deal with the aftermath. Moreover, once Li Yan died, Zhuge Liang had to choose someone from Chengdu, which was already lacking in talents, to succeed Yongzhou as governor.

The only good news is that Li Yan's son Li Feng is a fool. After learning that his father was killed, not only was he not angry, but he kept explaining that he had no knowledge and that the matter had nothing to do with him.

A loving father and a filial son belong to...

"This time, His Majesty pardoned your violation of military orders and praised you for having the courage to do it. Before the new governor of Yongzhou takes office, you will act as an agent for Longyou's affairs." Jiang Wan shook his head and began to read the edict to Ma Su.

"When you submit your battle achievements this time, you will probably be able to become a marquis, so be a little more honest."

He came from Chengdu, and the news of Ma Su's victory in the Battle of Chencang had not yet spread. However, before Jiang Wan left, the Prime Minister confidently said that Ma Su had the ability and luck and would never lose.

He must be the prime minister, and he must be a good judge of people.

"The future governor of Yongzhou will be Shizhong Fei Yi. He has a kind and honest nature and is an honest official. Don't have any conflicts with him again." Jiang Wan read out the imperial edict and then gave Ma Su another instruction.

He was really afraid of Ma Su now. Although it was unlikely, what if this guy came up and chopped Fei Yi off again?

By that time, the Prime Minister would not be able to protect him even if he wanted to.

"Please rest assured, Chang Shi, I, Ma Su, like to make friends the most, and I know it well!" Ma Su nodded seriously and answered seriously.

You have several big-headed ghosts!

Jiang Wan looked at Ma Su speechlessly and sighed before speaking.

"It's not easy for me to be the Prime Minister. I'll put you on the spot..."

"What?"

"Nothing, it just means you are very talented."

"Chang Shi has given me the award."

"By the way, the Prime Minister wants me to tell you something else." Jiang Wan remembered the business and said to Ma Su with a serious expression.

"Now that you have defeated the Wei army in Chencang, what are you going to do next?"

"What to do? Naturally, we will continue to hold on and prepare to retreat to Longyou after the Wei army retreats." Ma Su was stunned for a moment and answered quickly.

At first, he just planned to block the Chencang grain road and transform into a Shuhan demolition team to fight Hao Zhao in the ring. As a result, this series of changes occurred. As a result, Hao Zhao died, Chen Cang was captured, and Guo Huai was defeated.

But the result remained unchanged, and Ma Su did not intend to continue to advance the front. Further ahead, Yongzhou is basically undefensible, and even if it is captured, it cannot be defended.

Ma Su was not so arrogant as to use 20,000 Shu troops to attack Cao Wei's 100,000 Guanzhong troops.

"That's good, as long as you know it." Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded lightly.

"The Prime Minister means the same thing. He asked me to tell you that now is not the time to advance eastward. If you can defend Chencang and repel the Wei army, then just stabilize the front and withdraw to Longyou. There is no need to attack."

In the final analysis, Zhuge Liang's strategic plan is still to take Longyou Liangzhou first and stabilize the entire northwest.

As for heading east, the risk is still too great now. The current national strength of the Shu Han alone is not enough to go head-to-head with Cao Wei's main force in the northwest.

Even with Ma Su, the Northwest God of War, it was still not enough.

"The Prime Minister wants me to tell you that the first priority is to recuperate and recuperate in Longyou first. When he stabilizes Yizhou in the coming year, he will personally lead an army to the north of Longyou to attack Liangzhou."

Afterwards, Jiang Wan summoned the generals and read out his Majesty's edict in public, which truly legalized Ma Su's command of the army.

Before Jiang Wan left, he repeatedly told Ma Su to be cautious as a general. Don't go out to fight the Wei army without being completely sure.

After Jiang Wan delivered the order, he turned around and returned to Chengdu. Before Fei Yi arrived, Ma Su was the temporary governor of Longyou.

None of the generals had any objections to this order, and King Baishou and others came to congratulate Ma Su. Ma Su's bravery has convinced the entire Shu army.

After receiving the edict from Chengdu, Ma Su no longer stayed. After resting for a few days, he left Shu Ji and a thousand cavalry in Chencang, and jointly defended this important military town with Wang Ping's five thousand soldiers.

Afterwards, Ma Su led the remaining Shu army, the former army became the rear army, and the rear army became the front army, and slowly retreated to Lueyang.

At this time, Guo Huai and others in Yong County were already in a panic, and almost burned the area around Yong County with a fire. Cao Zhen, who was in Chang'an, received the request for help and personally led more than 10,000 troops to come day and night to support him.

Basically, we are preparing to strengthen the wall and clear the country, and fight with you to the east of Lianshui.

As a result, at this time, the news of the withdrawal of the Shu army came, and Chen Tai, Guo Huai and others were stunned.

My side has begun to fortify its walls and clear the country, but your Shu army is unable to withdraw?

So why have we done so much?

…………

After arranging Chencang's defense, he withdrew to Lueyang and waited for a few days. He found that the Wei army had no intention of counterattack, so Ma Su led his troops to withdraw with confidence.

During this period, Ma Su also met Wu Yi who came to support with his troops. Although he didn't help, Wu Yi brought the situation of the battle in the north.

Sima Yi of Liangzhou led troops to attack Anding County, but was met with a head-on attack by Wei Yan. Sima Yi had withdrawn after half a month of confrontation with Wei Yan across the Yellow River and found that there was no opportunity to take advantage.

The north has also settled down, and all the crises in Longyou have been resolved.

This is good news, otherwise the people in Longyou, a poor place, might have starved to death within two years if war continued for years.

Ma Su breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky.

The war is over, and it's time to go back and deal with Longyou's internal affairs.

Gentlemen of Longyou, do you miss me, Ma Su?
