Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 707: Early Northern Expedition

"So, the pseudo-Wei side really plans to move the capital?"

Ma Su was originally in Yangzhou, attacking the local big families. As a result, he was suddenly transferred back to Shouchun by Zhuge Liang. He received this news just after arriving in Shouchun and before he got off his horse.

"Report to the envoy, according to the report of our spies in Hebei, it should be like this." Liu Yin nodded and answered seriously.

"According to the report, the pseudo-Wei is likely to voluntarily abandon the entire Jizhou after the autumn harvest this year. Its main force will slowly retreat all the way to Liaodong."

With the current combat power and size of the Han army, Cao Wei has no possibility of resistance at all. So taking advantage of the fact that Ji Han has not sent troops yet, fleeing to Liaodong is their best choice.

After all, for Ji Han, Cao Wei's little force is no harm. What is really important is Jizhou and parts of Youzhou to unify the territory.

If Cao Wei escapes to Liaodong and still retains a large amount of military power for a short time. The Han army is likely to give up the pursuit because of the long road and harsh environment. If the small court of Cao Wei is lucky, it may be able to survive in Liaodong for a while.

In the end, everyone will change...

As for himself, he gave Xiahou Ba to Yang Hu, and personally led troops to block the Baima Ferry.

Except for the current emperor, it seems that all are useless...

Is this reasonable?

So he only needs to block the ferry in the direction of Yanzhou. Although Hebei has been restless, the remaining troops are enough to block the ferry for a few days.

"Yes!" Liu Yin replied immediately, but soon hesitated.

"How can I do this? Of course..." Sima Zhao answered subconsciously, but he got stuck halfway.

He really couldn't think of what use these officials were.

But soon, Ma Su thought of himself again and suddenly laughed.

"If they were not useful, I really wanted to chop them all!" Sima Zhao was so angry that he smashed everything on the table and cursed in the mansion with gritted teeth.

But this time Ma Su miscalculated, Liu Yin replied immediately.

However, as Ma Su expected, the transfer order sent back to Yecheng by Sima Shi was opposed by Yecheng as expected. Even if Sima Zhao threatened with force, many officials were still unhappy.

Under Ma Su's deployment, the Guandong troops, which had just rested for a short time, started moving again. A large number of troops and food began to gather in Xingyang, and the atmosphere became tense again.

Zhang Yi in Baimajin also received the transfer order and immediately began to mobilize troops to the ferry. After many years, the whole of Hebei felt the threat of the Han army again.

…………

"Why not set up a big pit outside the city and order the warriors to hold sticks on the left and right. Then invite all officials to come to discuss the matter, and those who disagree can be beaten to death in the pit..."

In this case, anyone with a keen sense of smell can feel that the Han army is going to march north in advance. Sima Shi even sent an urgent letter, ordering Sima Zhao to move the capital in advance and return to Yijing as soon as possible.

"The prime minister specifically instructed this. He said that there were originally two positions beside your majesty. Although there is only one left now, he still wants to see with his own eyes whether that position is no longer vacant."

However, just when Sima Zhao was sulking, Zhong Hui, who had been following him, suddenly spoke up,

"Okay, this means that no one will be spared." Ma Su was a little surprised. When did the prime minister become radical?

Therefore, Ma Su dared to be sure that before the main force of the Han army arrived at Baimajin, the court of Cao Wei had definitely been watching. Even if Sima Shi wanted to leave in advance, the nobles in Yecheng would not be happy.

"Okay, since the prime minister wants to see someone sitting in the position beside your majesty, I will go to Hebei to catch them back." Ma Su smiled, and then waved his hand generously.

It's just human nature.

According to his understanding of Zhuge Liang, he should be eager for this. In this way, Cao Wei took the initiative to give up Hebei, and the Han army could recover the lost territory without bloodshed. Isn't it a good thing?

And this time, Ji Han's threat to Hebei is like the siege against Dongwu, which is an all-round encirclement. In the direction of Bingzhou, the veteran general Wang Ping led his troops eastward and began to threaten Hebei from Jingxing, while in the north of Changshan, Ji Han's Xiongnu vassal army and Xianbei troops began to threaten the northern border.

For the current court of Cao Wei, their existence is almost meaningless. And seeing that they are about to run to Liaodong, the iron bank of their Sima family, the support of this group of aristocratic families seems to be worthless.

"But envoy, such a huge momentum... What if the pseudo-Wei is alarmed and runs away in advance?"

Sima Zhao didn't suddenly wake up until this time, as if the importance of all officials was not so strong now.

"What does the prime minister mean... let them go? Or annihilate them?" Ma Su scratched his head, pondered for a while and decided to test the prime minister's tone first.

This really pissed off Sima Zhao. Even he could see that the Han army was about to march north, but these people still had illusions.

He had always had difficulty learning to control his emotions, and he became extremely irritable when he encountered something that made him angry.

"Why don't you take action, sir? What use are they?"

"Forget it, it's too dangerous. Although these noble families are useless, they will still cause trouble if pushed to the opposite side. We don't have time to deal with the turmoil right now, so let's play it safe."

…………

Sima Zhao was a little moved by Zhong Hui's words, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.

"Pass my order, order the soldiers of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou to gather in Xingyang! At the same time, send an order to Baimajin, order Zhang Yi to clear the ferry as soon as possible to prepare for the Northern Expedition."

"If they had this idea, they would not have waited until now." Ma Su seemed very disdainful.

"Everything must be completed before the autumn harvest, and a quick battle and a quick decision!"

It has been delayed until now, isn't it just to wait for the autumn harvest in Hebei to make a final profit. In this case, luck will dominate their minds.

"So, my lord, we don't need to continue to give them a face. Since they don't agree, why don't we just force them by force?" Zhong Hui persuaded,

In this case, why should I indulge them?

I don't know when I started to become less radical than I imagined. Relatively speaking, he began to feel that the people around him seemed a little radical.

At this time, the pressure faced by Sima Shi was not too great. Because of the Yellow River flood in Qingzhou, the infrastructure north of the Ji River was severely damaged and the army could not pass through.

…………

Sima Zhao unexpectedly had a good brain, so Zhong Hui had to give up. However, he was not discouraged, but took out a bamboo scroll calmly,

"Ming Gong, I recently found out a little thing in the palace of Yecheng."
