Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"What's going on?"

The whisper in his ear made Ma Su suddenly open his eyes. As a veteran, such a close word almost made him nervous.

However, when Ma Su opened his eyes, he found that his whole body was soaked with sweat. The cold was biting, and his originally healthy body was now sore.

He had a cold, which means a high fever.

At the same time, Ma Su seemed to be hallucinating. He saw a blurry figure appear in the air. And as time went by, the figure became clearer and clearer.

"I should be seriously ill. I'm starting to have auditory and visual hallucinations." Ma Su shook his head gently and couldn't help muttering. Then he covered himself with the quilt again and planned to continue sleeping.

"It's time to leave, Master Ma! You're old enough to retire."

"Bullshit, the retirement age has been postponed. Now I'm seventy years old!" This time, Ma Su answered almost subconsciously, and then his eyes stopped wandering and looked closely at the air.

He could still tell that the figure was the Lord of Mount Tai...

In the Three Kingdoms era, everyone would report to the Lord of Mount Tai after death. In Ma Su's 21 years of suicidal life, he wanted to report in advance every night.

However, he really didn't expect that the Lord of Mount Tai would take the initiative to find him at this time!

Am I going to die soon?

"You have indeed reached the end of your life, and it is time for you to retire. It's time to leave." The Lord of Mount Tai just shook his head gently, looking at Ma Su with a helpless look.

"Don't you always want to go back? It's time to leave now."

"Although you can't cheat the insurance now, the reward given by heaven to the strong man is still very high. So go with peace of mind, you won't lose anything."

Hearing this, Ma Su just remained silent. He was right. Ma Su really wanted to cheat the insurance and leave quickly. But now that it was time to really beat someone up, he always felt that he hadn't finished something.

"It's probably not possible now. I need at least another three years."

"The foundation of the Han Dynasty is not solid yet. I need to help it again..."

"No chance." Taishan Mansion Lord shook his head gently and gave a cold answer.

"Even if I don't take you away, your hidden injuries and overwork can't hold up. When the protection of the heaven disappears, you should take the initiative to come to see me."

"Be decent and follow me."

"No, not now!" Ma Su answered without hesitation.

"At least wait for me for two days. I still have funeral arrangements."

"Then I have been tortured by illness these days..."

"I have fought for 21 years, and I am still afraid of this pain?"

"Then it's as you wish." Taishan Mansion Lord nodded, and then disappeared abruptly.

The moment Taishan Mansion Lord disappeared, Ma Su suddenly shuddered and woke up. When he came to his senses, he realized that it was just a dream.

However, Ma Su obviously knew what this meant, and he really didn't have much time left.

In the late night of May 5th, the second year of Yanxing, a big star suddenly rose in the southwest, as big as an egg, streaked across the sky and fell in the northeast, with a faint sound. That night, the condition of Ma Youchang, the general of Ji Han, worsened, and he soon became bedridden.

Many veterans were familiar with this phenomenon, which had already appeared when Ma Su led them from the expedition to Hongnong. And all this seemed to foreshadow something in the dark.

Late that night, Ma Su drove away all the doctors and sent them back to Yijing first. Then Ma Su summoned Ma Dai and Yang Zhun to come and prepare for his own funeral.

To be honest, Ma Su had thought about his own death, but he really didn't expect that he would leave at this critical moment. Originally, he planned to see the prime minister off, and then get on the horse to help the big man.

After all, the winter of the next two hundred years is coming, and Ji Han will have to endure too much of a test.

But there was no way. Ma Su's own 20 years of great mistakes had now all come back to him. His body could no longer hold on, and he really had to leave.

At this time, Ma Su remembered what he said when Sima Yi died. Now that sentence has become a boomerang and hits him.

Who can be much stronger than who? It's nothing more than watching others carry burdens without any effort.

"General! Just now we have received news that Sima Zhao in Pingxiang has committed suicide by taking poison. The rebels in the city have opened the city to surrender, and Liaodong has been assessed."

"We will soon move our camp back. When we return to Chang'an, you will definitely..."

Ma Dai wanted to comfort him at this time, but Ma Su had interrupted him.

"It's too late. I know what I should do. Now I should arrange my funeral."

Then, Ma Su looked at Yang Zhun, and the military supervisor arranged by Zhuge Liang had already made preparations.

"General, please arrange it. I will report it to the Prime Minister without missing a word!"

"Okay." Ma Su nodded and took a long breath.

"After me, the General's Mansion will be abolished. No general will be allowed to open a mansion after me. At the same time, it is best to remind the Prime Minister that the Jianghuai area is the last retreat of our Han Dynasty, and we need to pay more attention to it..."

Ma Su began to arrange the plans one by one seriously. As a general, he actually prepared a lot of arrangements. Including but not limited to the layout of Jianghuai, the excavation of canals in the Central Plains, and his unfinished "Water Control Strategy".

Ma Su still has a lot of arrangements that he has not implemented personally, so now he can only continue to embarrass the Prime Minister.

Ma Su spoke not slowly, but Yang Zhun still wrote down every word. At the end, Yang Zhun asked,

"Who can succeed me?"

"Liu Yin." Ma Su answered.

"Who after Liu Yin?"

Ma Su's eyes condensed, and then he spoke softly.

"Zhang Yi."

"Who after Zhang Yi?"

"After that, let the TMD prince make the decision himself. If you can't make this decision, don't say you are my disciple!"

"Well... yes."

After some deployment, Ma Su was also a little tired. After thinking about his brilliant achievements in his life for twenty years, which were like dreams and illusions, Ma Su suddenly laughed, and his laughter was a little helpless. .

"God, how can you be so unkind to me."

After saying that, Ma Su suddenly closed his mouth and fell into a deathly silence. When Ma Dai and others looked up, Ma Su had already closed his eyes...

"General!"

…………

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the second year of Yanxing, Ma Su, the general of the Ji Han Dynasty, died in Liaodong. This general who helped the Ji Han Dynasty to revive, finally fell after twenty-one years of fighting.

The Han army immediately held a funeral, and the three armies cried, and the crying continued day and night. Ma Dai and Yang Zhun then escorted Ma Su back to the army, and as a result, the Han army cried all the way, and the entire Liaodong corridor was filled with the crying of the Han army.

Ma Su's reputation was too high, especially his reputation in the army was unparalleled. All the soldiers were proud to follow him, and his death made the Han army soldiers heartbroken.

The news of Ma Su's death was soon passed back. When the news was passed back to Chang'an, the Ji Han Dynasty mourned, from Liu Chan to the people, from Longyou to Tongguan, everyone was sad for it.

Especially in Longyou, as the place where Ma Su started his career, it benefited greatly from him. As soon as the news came out, every household in Longyou wore mourning for him.

Zhuge Liang did not seem to be too surprised when he heard about this.

But those who knew the prime minister well knew that this was the most sad moment for the prime minister, just like the death of the previous emperor. In the following days, everyone could see the prime minister's red eyes in the morning.

As for Liu Chan, he gave the posthumous title of "Zhongyi" as soon as he heard about Ma Su's death.

Killing the enemy is called Yi; being strong and decisive is called Yi; being brave and close to benevolence is called Yi. Moreover, "Zhongyi" and "Zhongyi" are the best summary of this great general of the Han Dynasty.

In June, Ma Su's body returned to Guanzhong, and Liu Chan personally sent him to mourn. At the same time, he ordered the prince and Ma Ping to wear mourning together, and buried Ma Su as a younger generation.

This great general of the Han Dynasty was finally buried north of Chang'an, meaning that he was willing to guard the country forever for the Han Dynasty.

At this point, the song of Han generals has come to an end!
