Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Although his younger brother Sima Zhao has stabilized the court and provided him with a stable rear. But Master Sima was not reassured by this and still maintained many informants in Yecheng.

There is no way, his brother is really unreliable, Master Sima is now counting money for others for fear that he will be sold.

In addition, Master Sima also had to monitor Guanqiu Jian, who was already under house arrest...

In short, there is air leakage everywhere in Hebei now, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. Master Sima was really curious. Was he really that amazing in the script written by Ma Su?

But no matter what, Master Sima has to continue to resist. Whether it was for himself or for the entire family, he had no way out at this time.

In the next period of time, the Han and Wei sides began to warn each other across the Yellow River. The Han army was on guard against the Wei army's harassment from the south, and the Wei army was on guard against the Han army's sneaking across the Yellow River.

Under such a confrontation, the situation in the Yellow River gradually became stable. No one dares to let down their guard, but no one is willing to take a step forward.

This confrontation lasted for half a year.

In May, the Han army almost stepped on the last four lines to block the gap. With Ji Han's concerted efforts, the unstoppable Yellow River was reinstated back to its original river bed. The Yellow River floods that have ravaged Qingbei for more than half a year have finally eased.

However, the impact of floods is not easy to eliminate. The bodies of humans and animals that have drowned in the Jishui River in Pingyuan County will begin to ferment as the weather gets hotter.

By then, the plague would follow and spread to the entire Qingxu.

Therefore, the tasks left to the Han army are still very heavy. They had to mobilize a large number of manpower to bury a large number of bodies and clean up the sewage before the temperature rose.

This work is not only tedious, but also risky. If you are not careful, people who enter will be infected with typhoid fever. But even so, all the generals in the General Mansion also took the initiative to support him.

But... none of this has anything to do with Ma Su. He was still asked to continue patrolling the river defense to prevent the Wei army from Hebei from going south.

At this point, Ma Su also knew that Zhuge Liang was just looking for a reason to let him rest. Ma Su also happened to plan to inspect the water conditions of the Yellow River, so he didn't sneak away as usual.

If Ma Su refused to leave, the Wei army on the other side of the river would not dare to leave at all.

The two sides stared at each other for several months across the Yellow River. During this period, wherever Ma Su went, he could see a group of Wei cavalry following them, never leaving.

Ma Su didn't care much, but after being followed for several months, Ma Su became a little annoyed.

"These Wei dogs have nothing to do, right? They follow me every day." Ma Di looked at the Wei army on the other side from a distance, and the other side was also looking at him. Where their eyes met, it seemed as if they were about to create flames.

Then, after staring like this for a long time, Ma Su finally lost his battle with sore eyes. However, this also greatly aroused Ma Su's anger, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"This doesn't mean that you, General, are very intimidating. Just by doing nothing and walking along the river bank twice, the other party became so frightened." The attendant next to him immediately complimented, praising Ma Di's intimidating power.

"No matter what, I'll be tired of following you for a few months... I have to cause some trouble for them. I can't let them follow me so easily." Ma Di snorted, touched his chin and said in deep thought.

Master Sima had sent people to follow him like this for more than half a year. If he didn't retaliate, he would be so depressed that he couldn't sleep at night.

But exactly how to cause trouble for him...

Ma Su thought that Sima Division was currently encircling and suppressing the remnants of Cao Shuang's troops, and was once again about to complete the campaign. If Sima Division can be finished so easily, Hebei will usher in a period of peace.

At that time, it is difficult to say what kind of fancy work Sima Shi will do for Ma Su with his ability.

Therefore, Ma Su decided to cause Sima Shi a little trouble in this aspect.

Immediately, Ma Di thought of Xiahou Ba, who had been under house arrest in Luoyang.

"Go and send a message to the Prime Minister. I want to go back to Luoyang and borrow some money and food to set up a layout in Hebei."

Ma Su's request was quickly approved, and Zhuge Liang gave Ma Su the allocation power of Luoyang's treasury. As long as the amount transferred does not affect disaster relief, the rest can be done as you wish.

With Zhuge Liang's nod, Ma Di quickly set off back to Luoyang.

At this time, Cao Wei's clan general Xiahou Ba had been under house arrest for several years. The uncle of the current emperor was leisurely fishing in the courtyard when Ma Su arrived.

"General Xiahou, long time no see!" Ma Su walked in and said with a smile when he saw Xiahou Ba so leisurely.

"After so many years, has General Xiahou finally let go of his obsession?"

Xiahou Ba glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to return his gaze to the pond.

Being ignored by Xiahou Ba magnificently, Ma Di didn't take it seriously either. He immediately pulled up a cushion and shamelessly sat next to Xiahou Ba and said with a smile,

"General Xiahou, after all, we are strangers to each other. Is there anything we can't talk about directly? Remember what I said before, friends come from far away..."

"You must first torture his mind and starve his body and skin, and then whip him dozens of times and drive him away to another courtyard." Xiahou Ba continued with an expressionless face.

"So if you have something to say, if nothing happens, General Han should not delay a certain fishing trip."

Obviously, even after so many years, Xiahou Ba still has no good impression of Ma Su. Ma Su just smiled awkwardly, and then got to the point directly.

"Does General Xiahou still miss Wei?"

"I miss Wei, and I can't sleep day and night." Xiahou Ba answered bluntly without any hesitation.

"Are you going back?" Ma Su asked.

"No." Unexpectedly, Xiahou Ba refused very straightforwardly.

"Hmm?" Ma Su looked at Xiahou Ba in surprise, not knowing what he was up to.

"General Han wants me to go back now, but he wants me to go back to Hebei to disrupt the situation."

"Now Xiahou Xuan and Sima Shi are fighting, you know I can only support Xiahou Xuan if I go back, and then the civil war in Hebei cannot be stopped... This is not good for me, and it is not good for Wei either."

"So it's useless to go back, it's better to continue fishing here."

As Liu Chan's uncle, Xiahou Ba still has a status. Although he can't run around as a prisoner, he still knows a little about the situation in Hebei.

So he rejected Ma Su's proposal to add fuel to the fire. For Cao Wei, the most important thing to do is to end the battle as soon as possible and prepare to resist the Shu army's northward advance.

"General Xiahou, you may not understand the reality very well?"

Ma Su raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke slowly.
