Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After reading the letter, Ma Su had to return to Chang'an immediately.

This was not only because of the sudden death of Jiang Wan, the pillar of the Shangshutai. Another reason was a new idea discussed by Liu Chan and the Shangshutai.

Move the capital to Luoyang in Guandong.

This idea was not groundless, but Liu Chan really had this idea. The entire Shangshutai and the six departments under it also agreed with this idea after checking the accounts at the end of the year.

Because of this matter, Chang'an had to write to Zhuge Liang, who was patrolling Guandong, and Ma Su, who was supervising Huainan, hoping to see their opinions.

Although Ma Su didn't like to get involved in these things, the issues discussed this time were indeed very complicated. In short, the final result of this matter may determine the future national destiny of the Han Dynasty.

So whether it was for the funeral of his old friend Jiang Wan or to participate in the discussion of this matter, Ma Su should go back to Chang'an.

And even if Ma Su didn't want to go back, seeing that the prime minister had already set off, he was embarrassed to stay in Shouchun.

So, in November, Ma Su handed over all the affairs of Lianghuai to Deng Ai, and ordered Liu Yin to be responsible for the military affairs of Xuzhou. After arranging the military affairs in the southeast, Ma Su officially set out to return to Guanzhong.

Now it is not too much trouble for Ma Su to return to Guanzhong. Especially after Jingzhou, Nanyang and other places were all recovered, Ma Su's route back to Guanzhong was almost a straight line.

Ma Su quickly arrived in Kunyang from Shouchun by boat. After landing in Kunyang, he rode on a war horse and galloped all the way, and arrived in Wancheng in just a few days.

After arriving in Wancheng, Ma Su, under the protection of Jingzhou's troops, passed through Wuguan all the way and returned to Guanzhong.

It took Ma Su nearly twenty days to go all the way. But this long journey did not make Ma Su feel bored, but made Ma Su feel a little vicissitudes of life along the way.

Once upon a time, these places were still enemy-occupied areas. Whether it was Guanzhong, Nanyang, or Guandong and Lianghuai, they were all conquered step by step by Ji Han, or more precisely, by Ma Su in the past ten years.

Ten years, in the blink of an eye, I have been fighting for so many years. Once upon a time, who would have known that the young general in Jieting was actually just looking for death...

"Damn thief God! You are really not a human being!" Ma Su shook his head and raised a middle finger to the sky viciously.

This heaven is really forcing him to become a man sent from the sky, and then watch him die of old age!

I don't know what my historical reputation will be two thousand years later in this time and space. Maybe it won't be too good, but it shouldn't be bad.

I should be qualified to win a place as a hardcore ruthless person on a certain station, right?

Ahem, I'm getting off topic.

In short, when Ma Su walked through these places, it was as if he saw his former glory. Just walking and reminiscing along the way, Ma Su came to Chang'an, the capital of Ji Han.

Ma Su had not returned for several years since the Han army's eastward expedition. The capital of the Han Dynasty has regained a lot of vitality at this moment, and the streets of the town have become more prosperous.

In the streets of Chang'an, Ma Su also found many Hu people doing business. The whole city has become orderly at this moment, and there are some signs of the prosperity of the dynasty.

However, these may only be short-lived. If the court decides to move the capital to Luoyang, I am afraid that this place will soon return to being deserted.

After returning to Chang'an, the official who came to connect with Ma Su has become Yang Zhun. After meeting Ma Su, Yang Zhun first apologized to Ma Su.

"General, when the pseudo-Wei and the rebellious Wu slandered you in the past, I tried to doubt your intentions... Now I apologize to you, this is to judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain." Yang Zhun bowed to Ma Su in shame and apologized, his attitude was very sincere.

On the one hand, he is really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and he is happy that Ma Su is loyal to the Han Dynasty. On the other hand... the Yang family served in Cao Wei in the past few years, and was bullied by these Luoyang clans.

So in the eyes of the Guanxi clans, Ma Su's Henei Rebellion was a good thing.

Ma Su just shook his head and said indifferently to Yang Zhun's words.

"It's all for the Han Dynasty, it's normal... By the way, Gong Yan really..."

"Jiang Shangshu died of illness at home a month ago..." Yang Zhun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Your Majesty presided over the funeral and personally sent Jiang Shangshu on his last journey. And if the ministers hadn't stopped him, Your Majesty would probably have wanted to personally carry the coffin for Shangshu."

Jiang Wan, the head of the four ministers of Shu Han in history, was Zhuge Liang's most proud assistant. After Zhuge Liang presided over the Northern Expedition in these years, he became the pillar of the court of Ji Han.

After the court moved to Chang'an, Jiang Wan presided over the Shangshu Ling, taking into account both internal and external affairs, and focusing on the peace of the people.

It's a pity that such a talented person, the original successor of Zhuge Liang, died before the prime minister...

"This guy, he still wants to drink with me... If he drinks less, it won't be like this." Ma Su sighed, with a little more loneliness in his eyes.

Obviously, things like government affairs in the court are not something he can solve by fighting. In fact, because of Ma Su's rapid progress over the years, the workload of the Ji Han court has soared significantly.

These tasks were handled by Zhuge Liang in part, and the rest were all taken over by Jiang Wan. The heavy workload and poor health eventually made Jiang Wan leave early.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these sad things... Is your majesty really planning to move the capital to Luoyang?" Ma Su sighed, prepared to go back to pay tribute to Jiang Wan, and quickly returned to the topic.

Seeing Ma Su getting back to the point, Yang Zhun also put away his sadness, quickly solemnized his expression, and answered.

"This is not just your majesty's idea, but the final result of the Shangshutai's summary in recent years."

"Although Guanzhong is good, Chang'an is also the old capital. But Guanzhong's carrying capacity is still too weak, and the military pressure is still too great."

"As of now, Guanzhong may find it difficult to support the needs of the capital. If the capital is placed in Chang'an for a long time in the future, the pressure on the court may be very great."

"So the issue of moving the capital is actually the final result of Shangshutai's discussion for several years."

Yang Zhun's words made Ma Su fall into silence.

He knew a lot about history and understood what Yang Zhun meant.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the court placed the capital in the rich Guanzhong. Because at that time, Guanzhong was not only strategically located, but also a populous and extremely rich Qin land!

During the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an only needed the supplies provided by Guanzhong to basically maintain the operation of the capital. It lasted for two hundred years, and basically no major problems occurred.

After Wang Mang's new policy, Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang. This was actually because after the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, Guanxi was broken and unable to maintain the functions of the capital.

Then, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, Ji Han also had to face this problem.

Unlike the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ji Han needed to take into account a more important factor while considering the population of Guanxi.

Climate!
