Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

In the autumn of 229 AD, the half-year-long war against Wu ended.

In this battle, the Shu army won a complete victory, forcing the disloyal Sun Quan to give up proclaiming himself emperor. Then they captured the Yangtze River Pass, Shangyong County, and extended their hands into Nanyang and Jingnan respectively.

On the battlefield of defeating Wu, the Shu army made a lot of money. Especially the grain and fodder that Sun Quan compensated when he finally sued for peace and the population that Ma Su recruited from Jingnan basically made back all the consumption of this war.

In early October, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, left some troops to defend Wuling Yidao and divided his troops to defend Wudang Shangyong. He led an army of 50,000 to retreat from Yidao. Tens of thousands of Shu troops served as the front army as the rear army, and the rear army served as the front army and slowly withdrew to the center of Shu.

When passing Yiling, Zhuge Liang personally got off the four-wheeled carriage and lamented how difficult it was for the late emperor in the past.

The Yangtze River Pass, the base of Soochow, is really tricky. Even Zhuge Liang has to admit that there is a lot of luck in this battle.

If it weren't for Ma Su, this battle would have miraculously captured Xiaoting and Yidao with thousands of troops. It is estimated that the tens of thousands of troops now can only fight against the Yi Dao, let alone invade Nanyang.

After all, this Ma Su is the lucky star of Shu Han.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but have mixed feelings when he recalled that the war in the past six months had gone more smoothly than crossing Lu in May. Although this kid Ma Su only knows how to charge hard in battle, he really has no luck.

With him here, there is really no small hope that the big man will be able to revive again.

But when he subconsciously looked back at Ma Di, Zhuge Liang still shook his head slightly. Then after thinking for a while, he turned to Ma Su and said,

"Youchang, after you return to Chengdu, you will first come with me to meet His Majesty and offer sacrifices to the late Emperor in order to report your contribution to the defeat of Wu."

"After all this is over and rewards are given, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will let Gong Yan take you to learn how to handle government affairs."

"Ah? Could it be that the Prime Minister wants to..." Ma Di, who was in a daze, was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what Zhuge Liang meant.

Previously, Zhuge Liang only appointed him as a local official, and his main task was military affairs. Since the defeat of Wu, he has been fighting and fighting, and he has basically never had any civil service.

Now Prime Minister Zhuge suddenly wants him to go on duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is obviously an unusual signal. This means that the Prime Minister is no longer a general, or a general in charge of his duties.

In other words, this is the signal that Zhuge Liang really wants Ma Di to be his heir!

Zhuge Liang wanted Ma Su to become the next or the next prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.

Ma Su was subconsciously resistant to this. He could not afford such a big responsibility.

You have the ability to do as many things as you want, otherwise things will easily happen. His purpose is to seek death as his first priority, and he is a character who can die suddenly at any time.

If this makes him Ma Su become an important figure in the political arena, if he is killed suddenly, the entire court will be in turmoil. By then, if the chain reaction caused Shu Han to collapse, he would have nowhere to cry.

But before Ma Di could speak, Zhuge Liang had already turned around and left, commanding the army to continue marching. Obviously the attitude is clear, you Ma Su don't have to refuse, just follow me to help the Han Dynasty.

"Ah this... Prime Minister, Prime Minister, why are you still rushing the ducks to the shelves?" Seeing this situation, Ma Su couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, feeling a little helpless.

However, Ma Su quickly changed his mind and remembered something that he had almost forgotten. There are also many hidden dangers within Chengdu that need to be eliminated, and the power of local wealthy families in various places is still huge.

The existence of those people is also a fatal cancer to the small dynasty of Shuhan, and it is something that must be removed. Since the Prime Minister was determined to let him stay in Chengdu, he could take this opportunity to do something big.

In the future, the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty would not cause any resistance in the old capital. Even if he failed, the court would kill him to appease the public anger, and he might even die from an assassination.

"Well...then again, it seems that staying in Chengdu is not unacceptable?" Ma Di touched his chin and began to figure out the essence, pros and cons of this.

Our old horse is a restless person, and he must never stop seeking death at any time.

Zhuge Liang traveled from Yiling to Zigui, and finally arrived in Yong'an and entered the actual control area of ​​Shu Han.

After entering here, soldiers recruited from various places can be sent back to their original stations. Zhuge Liang only led more than 10,000 troops, which was the nominal Shu Han Northern Army, all the way back to Chengdu.

Far away from Chengdu, Ma Di saw Han Emperor Liu Chan, who rarely left the palace, personally coming out to greet him. Following Liu Chan were all the civil and military officials of the Shu Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty!" Facing Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang was always the most respectful veteran. Seeing the emperor coming to greet him in person, Zhuge Liang quickly stood up and saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister, for this great victory over Wu. The Prime Minister has done a great job for me as a great man!" Liu Chan immediately helped Zhuge Liang up, his expression unable to conceal his excitement.

"On behalf of the people of the Han Dynasty and the country, I would like to thank the Prime Minister!"

It is worth mentioning that Liu Chan basically called Zhuge Liang "xiangfu", but that was in private. On formal occasions, Liu Chan, as the emperor, must address Zhuge Liang as prime minister.

This is also the unspoken rule of the political court, and it can be regarded as a kind of helplessness.

Zhuge Liang immediately returned the favor and generally behaved appropriately without being out of line.

Then Zhuge Liang pulled Ma Su out and respectfully addressed Liu Chan.

"Your Majesty, this great victory in this battle is all due to Ma Youchang's contribution. Without Youchang rushing into battle to kill the enemy, recruit Jingnan, and conquer Wu, it would be difficult to achieve this result."

"Ma Youchang?" Liu Chan immediately locked his eyes on Ma Su, as if he wanted to write down what Ma Su looked like.

"I seem to have heard something..."

"You Chang is the younger brother of Ma Liang, one of the former servants. He is from Yicheng, Xiangyang. His skills in military strategy are second to none." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and spoke to Ma Su very smoothly.

"If anyone can stabilize the country and support the Han Dynasty after Liang Dynasty, it is only Youchang."

As soon as Zhuge Liang said these words, the expressions of all the civil and military officials present changed.

You know, Prime Minister Zhuge’s recommendation is not that easy to get. So far, only a few people such as Jiang Wan and Fei Yi have been able to expand Zhuge Liang's reputation in public.

It seems that this Ma Su will also enter the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty in the future.

As for Liu Chan, his expression became very excited at this moment, and he was dancing for a while.

Apparently his father-in-law recommended a talent to him again, and he was about the same age as Fei Yi. These people can at least be used for decades without any problem. I shouldn’t have to worry about being scolded by future generations as a subjugated king who can’t maintain his foundation, right?

Liu Chan doesn't have many advantages. His biggest advantage is being obedient.

Apart from anything else, Liu Chan really used all the talents mentioned in the apprenticeship list 100%.

This time, Ma Di was added to fill the military gap.

But just when the recommendation of Ma Su was over and he was about to welcome the army into the city, a man suddenly burst into tears and worshiped directly in front of Ma Su.

Everyone was shocked and looked over, only to find that it was Guan Xingye, the servant.
