Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"Is the Supreme planning to attack Hefei again?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

The sky cleared up and the rain stopped, and King Wu felt that he was okay again.

As the governor of Jiangdong, Lu Xun was very aware of the Wu army's combat effectiveness. This group of elite sailors fighting on the river turned into soft-footed shrimps as soon as they came ashore.

In the Battle of Yiling, he sent Wu troops several times larger than the enemy to rob Liu Bei's camp, but was defeated by the thousands of Shu troops left behind by Liu Bei. In the end, the entire army attacked and set fire to the camp, and they succeeded in creating the miracle of the Yiling Fire.

Normally speaking, Wu Jun's combat power is barely enough to defend Stone City, let alone attack Hefei.

But this time, Lu Xun felt something was wrong with King Wu's expression.

"Bo Yan! I don't want Hefei! I just want a big victory!"

Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun with bright eyes and a very serious expression. Lu Xun felt something in Cai Sun Quan's inexplicable eyes.

"I don't care whether you are in Hefei or Jingzhou! As long as you can create a great victory for me! Let the entire Jiangdong three states prove my majesty!"

"A great victory! As long as we can create a great victory!"

Seeing Sun Quan's rare expression of urgency, Lu Xun suddenly realized something.

"Does the Supreme want to..."

Regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, as long as a great victory is achieved on the battlefield, Sun Quan's purpose is already very obvious.

He needs a big victory to take the next step!

To put it simply, Sun Quan also wants to be emperor!

That’s right, the Supreme Being is already forty, so it’s time to be anxious.

In fact, for Sun Quan, he was no longer extremely anxious.

During the Battle of Chibi, he was the one who fully supported Zhou Yu from behind to defeat Cao Cao. At that time, Liu Bei was just a nominal ally, and Uncle Liu was actually fighting against him.

As a result, Cao Cao's grandsons have all ascended the throne, Liu Bei's son has been emperor for several years, and Sun Quan is still the king of Wu.

The only difference is that he changed from King Wu of the Wei Dynasty to King Wu of the Han Dynasty...

This made Sun Quan very unconvinced. After all, I was also one of the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Those two thrones have been passed down for two generations, why am I still the King of Wu in Jiangdong!

Of course, Sun Quan also knew very well where his shortcomings were. He had no destiny.

Cao Wei was able to inherit the throne because Liu Xie abdicated, which can be regarded as a legal seizure of the throne. Liu Bei is a member of the royal family and has Han ancestry, so it is barely reasonable to take over the destiny of the Han Dynasty.

But what about Sun Quan? It is obviously impossible for him to have the destiny to proclaim himself emperor and ascend the throne. Without the Mandate of Heaven, it would be difficult for him, Sun Quan, to convince the people below to support him.

In this superstitious era, destiny is sometimes quite important.

Therefore, Sun Quan urgently needed a big victory this time. A thrilling victory to support his drive to become emperor.

Lu Xun didn't make any comment on this. As one of the Jiangdong nobles, he didn't know whether it was good or bad for Sun Quan to become emperor. However, since King Wu has made a decision to pursue his own affairs in his position, he must fully support it.

After pondering for a while, Lu Xun made a decision and said to Sun Quan.

"There is no need to be anxious, Your Majesty. This matter is important. I will allow you to discuss a plan with Captain Zhou Li and others."

"Yes!" Sun Quan nodded slightly and waved his hand.

"You can have as many troops as you like this time, but we must give Cao Wei a heavy blow. I must need this victory to achieve great things!"

Jiangdong began to have some inappropriate thoughts, but Ma Su didn't know about these things.

If he knew, Ma Di might be happier.

After all, it will be time to go to Jiangdong to defeat Soochow. This is a great joy for the scholars in Jingzhou.

These days, Ma Di has discovered a lot of things that are not reasonable among the people.

For example, most of the plows used in farming are straight sticks, and plowing the ground is very laborious.

As an engineering student, Ma Su could tell the unreasonableness of this thing just by looking at it. Force components in the x and z directions...

Ahem, sorry for the occupational disease (referring to Ma Su)

In short, Ma Su adhered to the spirit of engineering and led several craftsmen to build a curved shaft plow in a few days. In tests, it was proven that most of the power can indeed be left.

The old plows often required two oxen or four people to pull the land. But after replacing it with a curved shaft plow, a lot of wasted work was saved, which greatly liberated manpower.

After testing the Quyuan plow, all the craftsmen present were impressed by Ma Su's design.

As expected of the king of our house, he is not only capable of fighting and governing the world, but he is also good at inventing and designing.

He has the style of a prime minister!

During this period, the Yang family was also very active in handing over all the promised things to Ma Su. Basically, after the elders of the Yang family heard that Ma Su was willing to recommend them, they had no objection to Yang Yue's move to give up so many benefits.

Is there anything more important than getting to the poker table?

Those little extraneous things are just like buying tickets.

Obtaining the workshop and craftsmen from the Yang family provided convenience for Ma Di to improve the papermaking technology in the next step.

Otherwise, he is just half-assed, and without the cooperation of professional craftsmen, he may not be able to make successful improvements.

The only thing that made Ma Su a little dissatisfied was that the nobles in Tianshui County were too honest. Everyone was so honest that Ma Su couldn't find anything.

Such days lasted for more than a month, and Fei Yi, who succeeded Yongzhou as governor, finally arrived in Xixian.

"Brother Youchang, it's been so long!"

When Fei Yi saw Ma Su, he held Ma Su's hand enthusiastically and said with a smile.

"These days on the streets of Chengdu are all your deeds. Even the children in Shu know that Fenwei General Ma Di defeated the puppet Wei general Guo Huai's 40,000 troops with 20,000 troops."

"Your Majesty really wants to see you again and make you a marquis in person."

Fei Yi is a good old man, very popular, and basically has no enemies. People like Yang Yi and Wei Yan, who have high aspirations, also have a very good attitude towards him.

Don't hit the smiling person. Fei Yi did a very good job in socializing.

This is also the reason why the prime minister sent him here. On the one hand, it is to prevent conflicts with Ma Su, and on the other hand, he can actually manage Yongzhou well.

Unlike Li Yan, Fei Yi would listen to Wei Yan, Yang Yi and others.

Ma Su was also very curious about Fei Yi, one of the four prime ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty, especially about Fei Yi's death in history.

Such a good old man, who had a good attitude towards everyone, could actually die from an assassination.

"Wen Wei came just in time. If you don't come again, I will be ready to leave." Ma Su shook Fei Yi's hand and shook his head gently.

"Leave? Are you in such a hurry to return to Longxi County?" Fei Yi was a little surprised.

"We haven't seen each other for half a year, and I plan to treat Brother Youchang to a drink."

Look, this is the Eight-sided Exquisite!

"Official matters are important. I have to deal with the remaining Qiang people in Longyou as soon as possible." Ma Su shook his head and explained to Fei Yi.

"Brother Youchang, don't worry, I've brought you help." Fei Yi smiled slightly and said to Ma Su.

"Help? What helper?"

"General Yangwu, Ma Dai!"

Hum hum ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
