Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 179 Is the Shu Han Already So ​​Powerful? (ask for everything!)

The Taishou Mansion is located in the south-central position of Jincheng, next to the South Gate, and was built in the reign of Liu Hong.Liangzhou was devastated by war during the 30-year rebellion. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Zhang Ji was the governor of Liangzhou. Zhang Ji spent a lot of money and food to rebuild the city. Therefore, the city wall of Jincheng is the highest among the three counties in Liangdong, and it is extremely difficult to capture.

Ma Di sat kneeling at the side of the main hall, with a thick blanket under his knees, looked up at Guo Huai, and said loudly, "Brother Boji, the Guo family has been favored by Han, why do you now help Wei to abuse and reject Tianhan? "

This question is not unwise, it directly occupies the commanding heights of righteousness and morality.

Everyone in the world knows that Liu Bei is a descendant of the royal family and the orthodox heir of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Wei is a traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty.

Guo Huai is old and slightly dark with greasy cheeks reflecting. It can be seen that he pays attention to nutrition intake in daily life. Facing Ma Di's sharp questioning, he said calmly:

"If you come here, if you want to surrender, then there is no need! Not to mention that the old man has just executed Dai Jun, the son of Dai Ling, who opposed Wei Wei, and he must regard me as a sworn enemy. My Guo family is even more favored by the Lord Wei, and Guo Mou resolutely do it." There is no such thing as abandoning the country and abandoning the family."

you make it!
It's just that the time has not come yet, when the time comes, you, Guo Huai, will jump against Wei higher than anyone else!
Ma Su shook his head and laughed: "Ming people don't speak dark words, brother Boji, I'm here for one thing. In the next month, you and your [-] soldiers will remain neutral to whatever happens in Liangzhou. Of course, considering This request is very embarrassing for you, you can make a condition."

"Any conditions?" Guo Huai looked surprised, this bargaining chip is not light.

"Any conditions!" Ma Di opened his mouth and came.

Anyway, he was in the experience map at the moment, and he promised that he would not lose a single hair.

Why not speak louder?

To be honest, Ma Di is [-]% sure to persuade Guo Huai to be neutral.

Guo Huai is from Yangqu, Taiyuan.His great-grandfather, Guo Zun, was the governor of Yanzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty and once served as the doctor of Shou Guanglu.His grandfather, Guo Quan, was a great farmer in the Eastern Han Dynasty.His father, Guo Yan, was the prefect of Yanmen County at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.During the Jian'an period, Guo Huai was elected as Xiaolian because he was born in a powerful family, and he was appointed as the prime minister of Pingyuan.When Cao Pi was appointed as the general of the five senses, he called Guo Huai to be the thief Cao.Guo Huai later transferred to the prime minister Cao Yiling Shi.Since then, Guo Huai has served in Cao Jun for a long time.After 20 years of Jian'an (219 years), Hanzhong rejected Liu, pacified the Hexi rebellion, etc., and was promoted all the way to General Anxi, Prefect of Jincheng, and Captain Huqiang.

For such a person who came from a prominent family, the first priority in his heart was always the interests of the family, not the interests of the imperial court.

Throughout his life, he first became an official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then the world changed, and the imperial power fell into the hands of Cao Cao. He did not hesitate to fall into the arms of Cao Wei. After 40 years of serving Wei, he did not hesitate to fall into the arms of the Sima family. The lifeline of Wei State.

From this point, it can be seen that although Guo Huai is a capable minister, he is a refined elitist, just like many representatives of aristocratic families in this era where "family interests are paramount".

What is a country to him? ! !
Such people, no matter how powerful they are, are easy to deal with.

If the current situation is that Shu Ju is weak and Wei Ju is strong, Guo Huai will definitely reject Ma Su's proposal without hesitation.

But the current situation is that the Shu Han has grown to the point where it can confront the Wei State head-on. If it is not for the worry that the second-five sons of the Wu State will stab a knife in the back, even if they immediately start a full-scale war with the Wei State to compete for national strength, it will not be possible. too difficult.

Therefore, Ma Di confidently asked Guo Huai to raise conditions.

Just mention it.

As long as the latter dares to mention it, he dares to agree.

Sure enough, after getting Ma Di's affirmative reply, Guo Huai fell silent for a long time.

After a long time, I asked a little emotionally: "One month, the old man only gives you one month. If within one month, you take down the other two counties in Liangdong, the old man can lead his troops to the east and give up this city. If If you can’t take it, then don’t blame the old man for being ruthless!”

"A wise choice!" Ma Di clapped his hands and praised, "Brother Boji is magnificent!"

Guo Huai did not directly state what he wanted, but asked some irrelevant questions.

Because of this kind of question, there is no need to ask it.

Whether the two can live until the Shu Han dominates the world or the Wei State dominates the world is a question.

Therefore, rather than getting an empty promise from Ma Di, it is better to say that he has left a way out for his family.

After Ma Di answered one by one, the two strangers soon fell into a dilemma with nothing to say.

Guo Huai picked up the wine glass, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, as if to see off the guests.

Ma Su got up slowly, and suddenly leaned forward, looking down at Guo Huai very seriously: "I hope Brother Boji will keep his word."

Guo Huai lowered his head and did not reply.

So Ma Di knew that whether this agreement could take effect depended on how ruthless he was.

If he strikes hard enough, he will wipe out the other two counties in Liangdong with a thunderous force.Then, even if there is no such agreement, Guo Huai will inevitably lead his army to retreat and give up Jincheng.

If Liangzhou cannot be settled within a month, there will only be a decisive victory on the battlefield.

Ma Di bowed his hands and said goodbye, and left with Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu out of the city.

As soon as he came out of the city gate, Zhang Xiu couldn't wait to ask: "General, why didn't you save General Dai Ling's son?"

This time he lobbied Guo Huai, considering that Dai Ling was a general of Wei before, Ma Di did not let him follow him, and only brought Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu along.

The purpose is to prevent Dai Ling from going crazy when he sees his eldest son being killed, and ruining a good thing.

In fact, before Guo Huai ordered Dai Jun to be killed, the three had already arrived at the execution ground, but Ma Di did not choose to stop Guo Huai.

Because only if Dai Jun died at the hands of Wei State, Dai Ling would serve Shu State wholeheartedly.

The times are like this, no wonder people are ruthless.

Ma Su stared straight at Zhang Xiu without saying a word.

Zhang Xiu probably also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, scratched his head in embarrassment, and changed the topic: "General, where are we going next?"

Ma Di turned to look northwest, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Xiping, meet Fei Yao for a while!"

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but asked again: "Fei Yao was born in a small clan in Liangzhou, so he's not a child of an aristocratic family, General?"

"It wasn't true in the past, but now he is the post-general and prefect of Xiping, and he is already an upstart."

Ma Di looked back at Zhang Xiu from a distance: "Hugh, you have to remember that there are two types of aristocratic families in this era, one is the old aristocratic family, and the other is the new aristocratic family. Guo Huai's family is the former. Fei Yao's family is the latter."

"That's right!" Zhao Yun stroked his beard and echoed, "Could it be that You Chang wants to persuade Guo Huai and Fei Yao to remain neutral, and then concentrate their superior forces to attack Wuwei City where Xu Miao is stationed?"

"The one who gave birth to me is...the parents; the one who knows me is Zilong!" Ma Di praised.

Zhang Xiu thought for a while, and then asked, "General, why don't we just lobby Xu Miao?"

"Xu Miao is also a son of a rich family, with both civil and military skills, so he is difficult to deal with. In comparison, I think Fei Yao is better to deal with. If we can convince Xu Miao, isn't Liangzhou just around the corner?"

Ma Di nodded: "Not only can Liangzhou go, but we can even counterattack Longyou and drive Sima Yi out of Xizhou!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes bulged, and suddenly said: "Yes!"

"For your size!" Ma Di glanced at him angrily, "Xu Miao is the governor of Liangzhou!"

If the governor of Liangzhou was so easy to instigate rebellion, the Shu Han would not be trapped in Shu and unable to get out.

Furthermore, Xu Miao is old and refined, and he has always wanted to kill him. If Ma Di dares to enter Wuwei City alone.

How is that different from express delivery? !

Ma Di didn't bother to explain the twists and turns to Zhang Xiu, so he took the lead and galloped towards Xiping.

Zhao Yun glanced at Zhang Xiu, shook his head and laughed, and rode his horse to follow.

Zhang Xiu scratched his head in wonder, and asked in confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"

"That's right!"

"The reaction of the general and General Zilong is so strange..."

"General, Old General Zhao, wait for me!"

After regaining his senses, Zhang Xiu lashed his mount with a few whips, and chased after the two men who had gone far away.

Xiping County.

Fei Yao sent Ma Di and the others away, and stood at the gate of the city without moving for a long time, his two thick eyebrows knit together unnaturally, and his heart was full of waves.

Without much hesitation, he agreed to Ma Di's request and remained neutral for a month.

The reason for standing still in the city is not that he is about to maintain neutrality, but the information that Ma Su inadvertently disclosed.

Ma Di said that Yizhou is now stable and prosperous, with a population of more than 300 million, 30 warriors capable of fighting, and [-] elite cavalry, who can drink horses and the Yellow River at any time, and soldiers are approaching the city.

This news really scared Fei Yao.

If it was changed to the time when Liu Xie succeeded to the throne 40 years ago, this population and military strength were nothing at all. At that time, Yizhou had a population of more than 500 million and 30 million soldiers.

But this is the Three Kingdoms era after 40 years of war.As strong as Wei, it only has a population of 600 million and 50 soldiers.

Is the Kingdom of Shu already so powerful?

Fei Yao was lost in thought.

It seems that it is time to reconsider the issue of family standing.

The Liangzhou local families are different from those of the Central Plains.

The threat that a powerful Shu Han posed to the local nobles in Liangzhou is intuitive and imminent.

Don't allow him to think carefully.
