Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After the army returned to Xi County, the outpost headquarters of the Shu army, Zhuge Liang summoned all generals and counselors to discuss Ma Di's disposition.

"Bring Ma Di up!" Under Zhuge Liang's order, Ma Di was taken into the military tent by two soldiers.

At this time, Wei Yan Wang Ping, Zhang Yi and other generals were on the left, and Yang Yi and other literati were on the right. Zhuge Liang was sitting in front of the tent, staring at Ma Di calmly.

"Youchang, didn't I give you a military order when I sent you to the street pavilion this time? Why did you lead the troops up the mountain in violation of my military order?" Zhuge Liang opened the bamboo slips next to him, which wrote a series of Ma Su's crimes in this battle.

"The Prime Minister has made it clear that I, Ma Su, am solely responsible for this crime. If there is a punishment, I will be punished!" Ma Su said with a stern look on his face, without hesitation.

"This time, someone was arrogant and thought that guarding the street pavilion was not as good as fighting the street pavilion. He wanted to kill Zhang He in a formation, so he took it upon himself. In the end, not only did he fail to kill Zhang He in a formation, but he almost missed the big event. It's all my fault."

"Since you know it so well and still break the law, is it because you think our Han army's military law is not strong enough?" Zhuge Liang nodded, his expression suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold tone.

Military orders are like mountains, which is Zhuge Liang's primary principle for running the army after Liu Bei's death.

As we all know, the fire in Yiling burned all the little money Liu Bei had after years of fighting.

When Liu Bei was in his lowest period, he had thousands of soldiers following him, and these were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he was able to quickly control the Shu army and increase the combat effectiveness of the Shu army. These veterans were indispensable.

As a result, Liu Bei sent him away in Yiling.

When Zhuge Liang took charge of the army, the Shu army's combat effectiveness was low, and even the southern barbarians in the south were able to fight back and forth. It was Zhuge Liang who attached great importance to discipline and implemented orders and prohibitions to suppress the thorns in the army, which allowed the Shu army to quickly restore its combat effectiveness.

But this time Ma Di blatantly disobeyed military orders and regarded Zhuge Liang's orders as nonsense. If someone followed this example and joined the Shu army, something would happen.

So the fine must be heavy.

"Prime Minister, one person is responsible for the other. Since someone has done something, he will be punished." Ma Di lowered his head and said in a calm tone, without any fear of death.

"Okay! If that's the case, let's do it for you. Push him from left to right and kill him!" Zhuge Liang pointed at Ma Di and said coldly and angrily.

"Prime Minister, no! Although General Ma disobeyed military orders, he did guard the street pavilion. If General Ma is killed, it will have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers!"

At this time, Wang Ping stood up and knelt down to plead for Ma Su.

"General Ma has made great contributions this time, and he is a meritorious official..."

"General Wang Ping, don't say anything. I'll go and die myself!" Ma Di was afraid that Wang Ping would say anything more, so he quickly said with his head held high.

"A true man is destined to die. If someone dies in violation of military orders, it is considered a well-deserved death."

"What General Zijun said is true. Such great achievements should be rewarded. How can we be punished?" However, at this time, another person suddenly stood up to speak for Ma Su. When Ma Su turned around to see which bastard it was, he suddenly saw Wei Yanyi standing up and saying righteously.

You thick eyebrows and big eyes want to stab me in the back too? Don’t you have a grudge against me?

"It is the rule of our Han army to distinguish rewards and punishments. Punishment requires punishment, and rewards will naturally be rewarded." Zhuge Liang's tone was still cold,

"Two of the Ma family's children can serve as officials under their protection, and the remaining rewards will be discussed when they return to Chengdu to discuss their merits. However, the crime of disobeying military orders cannot be made up for in any way!"

Congratulations, Prime Minister! !

Ma Su was almost moved to tears. There are still many good people in the world.

"Push them out left and right, kill them!" After shooing away the intercessor, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said coldly.

Just when Ma Su was about to be pushed out of the military tent, a shout suddenly came from outside the military tent.

"Save someone under the knife!"

A scribe suddenly came into the military tent, holding an imperial edict in his hand and said.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty has a decree!"

The person who came was none other than Jiang Wan. He rushed over from Chengdu in ten days and delivered an edict from Shu Emperor Liu Chan to the front line.

"His Majesty's decree, although Ma Su joined the army and disobeyed military orders, he should be dealt with according to military law. However, his contribution to guarding the street pavilion was huge and he did not violate military orders. He cannot be executed due to emotion and reason. We hereby issue an edict to pardon Ma Su's crime!"

After Jiang Wan read out the decree, the entire Shu army tent fell into a terrifying silence. Everyone, including Wei Yan and Yang Yi, looked at Ma Di at the same time, and even Wang Ping looked over with a complicated expression.

Well, not only are you a close friend of the Prime Minister, but you can also open up connections with His Majesty?

As for Ma Su, after the edict was read out, his mind had stopped thinking, and he could no longer understand anything except "Mother gave birth to it".

What's happening here?

"Old minister, I obey the order!" Zhuge Liang left his seat and accepted the order with his hands in his hands.

"I...should I go to the dungeon to report next or go directly to the execution ground?" Ma Di couldn't think straight.

"You don't have to go anywhere." Wang Ping looked at this soldier with a great background with a complicated expression and shook his head gently.

"Let's wait until the prime minister's anger subsides in two days to be activated again."

Although Zhuge Liang of Shu Han is now speaking out, if Liu Chan opens his mouth, Zhuge Liang will definitely not disobey him. Even His Majesty wanted to take advantage of Ma Su, so the Prime Minister naturally followed suit.

"You Chang, do your best, Your Majesty appreciates you very much." After Jiang Wan read out the decree, before exiting, he looked at Ma Su with a deep look in his eyes.

"You will definitely be a pillar of the Han Dynasty in the future."

"Fuck! God is targeting me!" Back in his military tent, Ma Su was so angry that he wanted to point his finger at the sky and curse.

It's a pity that language limits Ma Su's output. If he were given a keyboard, Tiandao's mother would not be able to keep it even if she was wholesale.

Judging from the Battle of Jieting, he would never have been able to hold on without the help of Heaven. And he was about to be dealt with by military law, and he didn't know what Tiandao had done, so Liu Chandu, who was far away in Chengdu, took action to protect him.

Why is it so difficult to kill someone?

Just when Ma Su was gritting his teeth and not knowing where to start his curse, one of his soldiers suddenly walked in to report.

"Sir, General Wang Ping has come to pay his respects."

"Why did Wang Ping come to see me? I'm no longer his boss." Ma Di was stunned for a moment, then nodded and motioned to the soldiers to bring Wang Ping in.

"You Chang, you are so unkind. You quietly opened up His Majesty's joints without even saying a word to me." Wang Ping said to Ma Su with a smile as soon as he came in, with a very friendly attitude.

"Ahem... To be honest, I don't know why His Majesty, who is far away in Chengdu, is willing to protect me." Ma Di coughed twice in embarrassment and shook his head.

"Of course, I don't know why Wei Yan spoke to me. This trial is very strange."

"Wei Yanbao, you're not surprised. Wei Yan has been wanting to do something like your own in defiance of military orders for a long time. Protecting you is equivalent to protecting himself." Wang Ping shook his head and said while sitting next to Ma Su.

"It's a pity to disappoint Wei Yan. You are indeed fine, but he will definitely not be able to replicate this method. He will have to continue to obey orders and fight in the future."

After listening to Wang Ping's explanation, Ma Su fell silent, his eyes flashing with understanding.

"So that's it."
