Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"Li Yan came to Chencang?"

Ma Su was a little surprised. Although reinforcements from the Shu army would appear here, he really didn't expect that Li Yan would come in person.

You must know that Li Yan is famous for being a master who does not leave early without profit, and will not let go of his hawk until he sees the coffin. Even ghosts would not believe that he could come to Chencang on his own initiative without any purpose.

"Yes, Governor Li has led 20,000 Han troops and has been stationed near Chencang. According to what the Governor said, Chencang is now somewhat dilapidated due to the war, and he needs to personally stay here until Chencang is repaired."

Hua Fei didn't have much idea, so he explained to Ma Su honestly.

"He is going to be stationed in Chencang all the time?" Ma Su was stunned for a moment and quickly figured out what he was doing.

"Li Yan, does he want to rely on Chen Cang to have a fight with Wei Jun?"

Needless to say, the importance of Chencang is equivalent to controlling the entire northwest traffic.

Now the Shu army took advantage of King Hao Zhao to be attracted by it and successfully captured Chencang City. If this reaches Cao Wei, it will definitely cause a huge commotion.

Now Cao Wei is supervising the defense of Guanzhong, General Cao Zhen, and he will definitely not give up here. I'm afraid that it won't be long before a large number of soldiers and horses come to rob Chencang.

At that time, the Wei army and the Shu army will definitely break out in a battle here, and whoever wins Chencang will get it.

This is also the main reason why Ma Su has not been very interested in capturing Chencang. The Wei army could not sit back and watch the Shu army capture Chencang, which would inevitably lead to a war.

The cost of long-term operations for the Shu army in Chencang is high because the grain road needs to pass through Longshan. Such a short-term battle is acceptable, but a long-term confrontation is not cost-effective.

As for Cao Wei, with its back to Guanzhong, it was much more comfortable than Shu without heavy logistics pressure.

On the contrary, because Chencang is far away from Yongzhou, the grain road left to the Wei army will always be exposed to the Shu army. The best solution is to constantly cut off the food road like Ma Di did before and harass the Wei army in Chencang.

But obviously Li Yan doesn't think so, or he thinks that the losses caused by winning Chencang are acceptable.

Or is this guy just too famous?

"Li Yan is a prodigal son. His emotions are not about his money and food." Ma Di felt distressed just thinking about it, and he wished he could immediately give Li Yan a big mouth.

Hua Fei didn't understand what Ma Su meant, so he just scratched his head and asked Ma Su not to get angry.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Fu. You still need to recover from your injuries. I can't afford it if something goes wrong."

Hua Fei thought about the Qiang Di people who had followed Ma Su back. They all looked at him with murderous intent. It seemed that if he didn't save Ma Su, he would send him down to stay with Ma Su.

Well, although he wasn't arrested and imprisoned like his father, the outcome seemed to be similar.

Alas, it is really difficult to save the world by hanging a pot.

"What happened these days when I was in coma? Where is Hao Zhao? Has the Wei army been completely wiped out?"

Ma Su shook his head. He probably wouldn't have much work to do in a short time. Not much will happen until the Wei army in Guanzhong reacts and mobilizes troops to counterattack.

"The puppet Wei soldiers and horses in Chencang have been completely annihilated, the puppet Wei generals have been surrounded and killed, and everything west of Lishui has been recovered."

Hua Fei told Ma Su little by little about the situation in the past few days, allowing Ma Su to have a general understanding of the situation.

Chencang City is now the boundary of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Li Yan is stationed here with 25,000 soldiers and horses. The Wei army on the east bank of Lianshui River was already highly nervous at this time, and they were on guard by the river to prevent the Shu army from continuing to advance eastward.

Li Yan, on the other hand, led people to repair the city and brought grain and fodder from Longyou to reserve, preparing to have some with Cao Wei.

But these are not the point. Ma Su is not interested in Li Yan's tricks. But when Hua Fei told him something about Longyou, Ma Su frowned.

"Li Yan transferred grain and fodder from various counties? And he asked for such a large amount?" Ma Su sat up all of a sudden, sensing something was wrong very sensitively.

"Yes, according to officials from Xi County, the governor will reserve grain in Chencang as preparation for war, and all counties and counties need to provide grain." Hua Fei was arranged by Ma Su to stay in Longxi County and had a good relationship with Li Mu. When the officials sent by Li Yan to Longxi County arrived, Hua Fei happened to be nearby.

"Although it is a bit excessive, Li Juncheng believes that important national affairs are still handed over to the governor."

Li Yan's reasons were impeccable. After all, there was no problem in contributing grain to the warring counties.

But what made Ma Su feel wrong was the amount Li Yan wanted.

It's just too much and not a reasonable request at all.

"Since Li Yan wants food and fodder, he must provide it from all counties and counties. He brought more than 20,000 people here, how could he need so much food and fodder?" Ma Su also came from a military background, and those who came out of the military camp are not easy to fool. of.

"Even if each of the 20,000 people had two more mouths, they still wouldn't be able to eat so much food!"

Li Yan obviously made a large false report and asked for a lot more food, which made Ma Su completely unable to sit still.

It's okay if you want to defend Chencang, and it's okay if you want to fight the Wei army to the death, but don't mess around with logistics. Longyou was already quite poor, but this year the Prime Minister's campaign against Longyou caused a lot of losses, and there was not much oil and water left.

In the end, Li Yan wanted to be greedy? Is this trying to undermine the Shu Han's people in Longyou?

"Help me up! I have to deal with this matter myself!" Ma Su couldn't accept it for a while, and without saying a word, he prepared to get up.

"Fucking Li Yan, you are not as good as You Chu in doing things. If you can't defeat you, I will kill you too!"

Seeing Ma Su struggling and remembering, Hua Fei was shocked and quickly held Ma Su down and said.

"Master Fu, calm down, you need to recuperate now! There is no need to be so anxious!"

"What's more, I think the governor is not a villain. When he first took office, he sent people to learn about the land equalization law. A month ago, the governor issued an order to promote land equalization in all counties in Longyou. "

To be honest, Hua Fei didn't understand what the Tian Tian method meant. After all, he was just a doctor. But seeing that Ma Su was so highly praised by the people when he implemented it in Longxi County, I thought it was a good policy.

The governor also plans to implement such a good policy, so he is not a bad person after all.

"Li Yan also wants to implement the land equalization method?" Ma Su was startled and felt a little incredible. But he didn't intend to let it go, and still struggled to get up.

"But even so, one code equals one code! With Li Yan's greed for law, it is estimated that many people in Longyou will not survive the day when their land is equalized. It's useless!"

"Go and send someone to call Shuji and Mengguo. I want to check the situation of the grain myself!"

Ma Su was too lazy to confront Li Yan, which was of no use except for quarreling. On the contrary, it is easy for Li Yan to notice and hide it, which makes it more difficult for him to find out.

Simply conduct a surprise inspection and ask Li Yan to spit out the stolen food as soon as possible.

Li Yan, Li Yan, the Prime Minister just released you, can't you help your greed?

Seeing that Ma Su was so seriously injured and still stood up and left without changing his expression, Hua Fei couldn't help but remain silent.

"Forget it, the suicide note still needs to be changed..."
