Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

As if to celebrate the defeat of Cao Zhen in the Battle of Ziwu Valley, the heavy rain that lasted for a month began to slowly stop. Ziwu Valley was no longer blocked by heavy rain, and marching became easier.

After Ma Su lamented that God was still a human being, he went on the road again with the song.

This time, because the plank road had been repaired, Ma Su led the horses up again. Although Ziwu Valley is relatively narrow, it is still possible to walk with a horse.

He only traveled a hundred miles in Ziwu Valley in one month, and now he is marching a little faster.

Ma Su led two thousand troops and pursued them all the way north along the Ziwu Valley. Be prepared to hurry up and catch up with the Wei army and fight with them again.

There were no obstacles for Ma Su along the way, and the road became strange and easy.

Because the Wei army came all the way south to build roads, almost the entire Ziwu Valley was renovated. The biggest obstacle to Ma Su's journey north, the rugged and difficult plank road, was helped by the Wei army.

So in just ten days, Ma Di crossed most of the Ziwu Valley and caught up with the defeated Wei army.

At this moment, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Ba had already struggled to keep up with the large army and returned north under the escort of soldiers and horses. As a result, he was chased away by Ma Su all the way to Ziwu Valley.

The two sides fought three times in Ziwu Valley, and Ma Su was defeated. Lien Zhan and Lianjie followed him to the north entrance of Ziwu Valley.

Ma Di was indeed right. The Wei army was guarding the entrance of Ziwu Valley with soldiers and horses. But because Ma Su came out with Cao Zhen's tail in his teeth, the Wei army was unable to mount an effective resistance.

So Ma Di followed Cao Zhen all the way to the mouth of the valley, where he defeated the Wei army again.

By now, the Wei army had lost all morale and was unable to resist the highly motivated Shu army. Cao Zhen had to lead his troops back north to Chang'an, and the garrison in Guanzhong took over to resist.

It was not until now that Ma Di's news network was finally connected to the official website.

"What? The main force of the Wei army in Guanzhong has gone to fight against Longyou? Is Guanzhong extremely empty now?" Ma Di had a wonderful expression on his face when he heard the information he got from the prisoners.

What happened during the month I stayed in Ziwu Valley? Why do I feel like I haven't caught up with anything, and running to Guanzhong has really turned into a tourist?

Especially when he heard that 100,000 Wei troops were besieging Chencang, Wang Ping's defensive battle had reached the point where he personally took part in the battle. Ma Su was extremely sad about this, why can't this be me!

Ma Su stayed in Ziwu Valley for a month, and it was extremely torturous in the heavy rain. Just so that he could go out of Ziwu Valley to commit suicide, he didn't withdraw, but...

Did you tell me that Wei Jun is not at home?

You, the main force of the Puppet Wei, are not in Chang'an at all! Where the hell have you been!

Unlike Ma Su, Liu Yin was very excited when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, they were so lucky. The main force of the Wei army was nowhere near as strong as in Guanzhong. At this moment, the entire Guanzhong is empty of troops, and the garrison everywhere is useless.

In other words, at this time, Guanzhong has no troops to stop them!

"General! This is God's favor for us! Don't miss this opportunity!" Liu Yin immediately made suggestions to Ma Su,

"Guanzhong is the northwest center of the puppet Wei Dynasty. The food and fodder for Cao Wei's more than 100,000 troops are all in the Guanzhong Plain. Guanzhong is empty at the moment and there is no way to stop us, but we are cavalry and cannot attack the city."

"It is better to divide our forces and destroy all the facilities and fields of the puppet Wei in Guanzhong. As long as we destroy it quickly enough and the area is large enough, it will be difficult for the northwest of the puppet Wei to recover for several years."

"By then, whether we attack Liangzhou or conquer Yongzhou in the east, we will have every advantage!"

Liu Yin's suggestion is very appropriate. Guanzhong Kong is now the time to harass. Ma Su's two thousand cavalrymen only need to send troops to plunder, harass, and destroy Cao Wei's facilities in Guanzhong, leaving Cao Wei unable to obtain sufficient supplies from the local area.

When the Shu army launches its northern expedition again, the Wei army will be unable to stop it.

This strategy is very good, but in Ma Su's opinion it is a bit too safe. No siege, no field battle, but the risk factor for destruction is too low, so there is no plan at all.

And to be honest, Ma Su still doesn't really want to cause damage. After all, the local farmers in Guanzhong have suffered the most from burning farmland and destroying water canals.

"Xiuren, when will the situation be bigger... If we do this, the people's support in Guanzhong will not be with us." Ma Su waved his hand and directly rejected Liu Yin's suggestion.

"The people here in Guanzhong will also be the subjects of the Han from now on. Wouldn't this kind of destruction mean that we have lost the hearts of the people in Guanzhong and lost a lot because of a small thing?"

"This...is someone's lack of consideration." Liu Yin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and apologized quickly.

There is no way, he is a pure military commander, he still lacks consideration for this kind of thing. However, after Ma Su's reminder, he quickly reacted.

The banner of the Han Dynasty still has some appeal now, especially in the northwest where the puppet Wei's control is weak.

But if their Han army carried out plunder, that would be another matter. The people here will hate you and support Cao Wei to resist them.

In this way, you lose the sesame seeds and the watermelon.

"So in my opinion, we should just stick to our old business and cut off the food supply." Ma Su shook his head helplessly and began to make his own decision.

Although Ma Su came to Guanzhong and failed, he could not withdraw casually even after he came.

It is definitely impossible to attack Chang'an. At this point, people who want to attack Chang'an are wishful thinking. And Cao Zhen returned with a great defeat, and he definitely didn't have the courage to go out to fight, so it was impossible to repeat the Xiangyang miracle.

However, at the moment, the garrison of Sanfu in Guanzhong is sparse and they dare not fight in the field at all. The main troops were all fighting in Yongzhou, and their food routes were almost exposed in front of Ma Su.

At this time, it is better to follow your old line of work and carry out another grain road robbery on the front line of Guanzhong. This will not lose the support of the people, but will also dampen the morale of the Wei army on the front line.

It would be best to attract all the Wei troops on the front line to surround and suppress him. This would not only increase his death value but also relieve the pressure on Longyou.

Kill two birds with one stone!

As for the mouth of Ziwu Valley, Ma Di could no longer spare any troops to defend it. Anyway, he didn't need the grain road when he was in Chencang, so Ma Su didn't care much.

Even if it is blocked, it will be fine. This is not what Ma Su meant.

"Let's go, soldiers! We are going to fight guerrillas again!"

At the same time that Ma Di's troops left Ziwu Valley, Zhuge Liang also led his people to Nanzheng, Hanzhong.

Heavy rain blocked the Ziwu Valley and also blocked the roads in central Sichuan. Zhuge Liang and his men waited in Jiange for more than half a month before finally arriving in Nanzheng.

"So Ma Di went to Guanzhong anyway?" Zhuge Liang looked a little gloomy, but the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.

Ma Su is now the leader of the new generation. If something happens to him, who will take over? The resurgence of the Han Dynasty is not something Zhuge Liang can do alone!

"Prime Minister! General Fuguo has continued his journey a few days ago." Jiang Wei, who had just returned, was summoned by Zhuge Liang and handed over the report.
