Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 189 A confrontation between old enemies and a resurgence in Yongliang (ask for a monthly ticket!)

Since Ma Di led the army alone, Zhao Yun was deeply impressed by his fierceness in suppressing the Qiangs by all means.

From then on, he never dared to underestimate the Governor of Yongzhou, General Zhengxi, and Captain Qiang, who put a smile on his face all day long.

In Zhao Yun's more than 60 years of life experience, he has seen many heroes of various colors, but he has only seen one person with a similar personality to Ma Su.

That is Dong Zhuo.

Both of them are kind-hearted and cruel, they treat their subordinates like siblings, they are lustful, they have excellent military capabilities, and even their troops are very similar, they are all elite cavalry composed of Han, Qiang and Di tribes .

How could a person similar to Dong Zhuo not make Zhao Yun think more.

Although Zhao Yun is always grateful for Ma Su's life-saving grace, he has always been a loyal member of the Han Dynasty in his heart.He gave up his glory and wealth to follow Liu Bei who had nothing, and followed Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition regardless of his old age and frailty, in order to realize the highest ideal in his heart-to restore the former glory of the great man.

Instead of going to a corner of peace and cracking the earth to become king.

So he named his eldest son Zhao Tong and his second son Zhao Guang, which means unifying Guanghan.

Now Ma Di hit the bottom line of his inability to accept with one sentence, and he had to rethink what the former said, "If I want to be the king of Liang, can the general tolerate me".

Although Ma Su explained that this was just a joke.

But Zhao Yun knew that many truths were spoken in jokes.

Jokes are not necessarily true.

Ma Di may not have such an idea.

"...Youchang, you really don't have this intention?" Zhao Yun twitched his lips, and finally decided to ask for proof again.

"Of course, I have declined Prime Minister Zhuge's offer to be appointed." Ma Di waved his hand and changed the topic.

"By the way, Old General Zhao, I sent a document a month ago, please transfer Zhao Tong and Zhao Guanger to Liangzhou to defend the place with the army."

"???"

What are you going to do?
Startled, Zhao Yun opened his tiger eyes and looked straight at him.

"Has the prime minister ever agreed to this matter?"

No wonder he would think too much, according to the military system of the Shu Han, when the general is away on an expedition, his family members and children need to be held hostage in Shu.

Now Ma Di wants to transfer his two sons here, Mingli, it seems like a normal dispatch with insufficient manpower; in fact, it is more like buying him and preparing to do a big job.

If the two sons can be transferred to Liangzhou, then even if they break away from the Shu Han and stand on their own, there will be no worries.

"Half agreed, Zhao Guang has been sent here."

Fortunately... Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively, "Youchang, is your family still in Chengdu?"

Ma Di noticed that when Zhao Yun said this, his eyes became very sharp in an instant, so he swallowed the words "My family is all in Qiangdi" that came to his lips, nodded and said: "Yes, they are all in Chengdu. "

Zhao Yun glanced up and down suspiciously: "Youchang, you must tell me your ultimate goal. I think this is the basis for us to continue to trust each other."

Ma Di nodded, took out the topographic map of Yongliang he had drawn, spread it out on the desk, turned it around, and pushed it to Zhao Yun.

On the map, not only the positions of the countries in the Western Regions are clearly marked, but also the approximate strength range of countless Qiang tribes on the Xihai Plateau.

"I think, after seeing this map, Old General Zhao should be able to understand everything."

Zhao Yun took the map and looked at it. He was startled, and hurriedly raised his head to re-examine Ma Di's face.

"Youchang, what are you going to do?"

"Purify thousands of miles, and consolidate the western provinces. Then go east to Guanzhong, and rule the world."

hiss--

Zhao Yun took a long breath and looked at the map carefully again.

However, on the large area on the map that is several times wider than Yizhou, there are countless Qiang people, Di people, Xiongnu, Xianbei tribes, and many small countries in the Western Regions.

In other words, Ma Di wanted to conquer all of this place first, and then push the world with absolute strength.

This is by no means a goal that can be achieved in three to five years.

In other words, because of the curve to save the Han, everyone in Liangzhou, Xiqiang, and even the Western Regions, which is countless times larger than Yizhou, will be ordered by Ma Su for a long time to come. From.

This, what is the difference between this and King Liang?
No wonder Zhuge Liang proposed to make Ma Di the "King of Liang".

Because in the process of conquering the five Western Qiang tribes, Ma Su deeply controlled these tribes. The spokesperson on the surface was the Qiang King Axiu, and the secret method was the army.

Zhao Yun suddenly remembered that although he was the commander of fifty thousand Qiang cavalry, all the Qiang soldiers regarded Ma Di as their faith.

Has Ma Di grown to this point before he knew it?Even Prime Minister Zhuge can only win him over by using a combination of favors and caresses.

Thinking about this clearly, Zhao Yunbo was dumbfounded, and his heart was both happy and bitter.

I am happy that Ma Di has grown so fast, but I am bitter because of Ma Di's faintly revealed huge ambition.

This ambition was so great that the Shu Han couldn't hold it.

Zhao Yun was very unwilling to believe his guess, but there was a voice in his heart telling him: This is all true.

The young general Zhao Yun stayed where he was, speechless for a long time.

Ma Su stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder. After thinking for a long time, he came up with a sentence that was more suitable for the current situation: "Old General Zhao, please rest assured, I will never betray a man, and I will never be a king..."

Ha ha……

Zhao Yun pouted.

Sun Quan did not recite the Han Dynasty before the seventh year of Jianxing (229), which did not prevent him from being the monarch of "famous ministers and real kings" for 30 years; Cao Cao did not become king before the 21st year of Jian'an, which did not prevent him He ruled the Central Plains for nearly 30 years.

Therefore, it is good to listen to these rhetoric, not to be true.

Zhao Yun smiled wryly and shook his head again and again.

Ma Di said sincerely, "How about it, Old General Zhao, can you continue to trust me now?"

"can."

Zhao Yun nodded, and at the same time solemnly stated as if justifying his actions: "This is to help the Han family."

"That's right, to help the Han Dynasty."

Zhao Yun's slightly aged face regained its calm look, making Ma Su unable to see the true emotions hidden behind those wrinkles.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that Zhao Yun compromised.

……

Liangzhou, Xiping County.

Nine days have passed since Ma Su sent troops to Liangzhou.

During this period, Fei Yao, the empress general of the Wei State and the prefect of Xiping, did not think about sending troops to attack the Shu army's rear camp and grain road.But in the end, he hesitated again and again and stood still.

He has too few soldiers and horses, and a sneak attack may not cause much damage to the Shu army. It is unrealistic to expect this move to cause chaos in the Shu army.

With this hesitation, the fighter plane disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, news of the successive fall of Jincheng and Wuwei reached Xiping.

Nine days.

It took only nine days for the Shu army to travel hundreds of miles and take down two counties.

This siege speed greatly exceeded Fei Yao's expectations and caught him off guard.

After that, the Shu army stayed in Wuwei and did not come to besiege Xiping.

Fei Yao thought that Ma Su would arrive soon, so he ordered three thousand Wei soldiers to guard the city day and night to guard against the Shu army.As a result, I waited until the morning of No. 13, and found no sign of the Shu army coming to besiege Xiping.

However, he received the ultimatum of "surrender within ten days" sent by the envoy of Shu.

This condescending contempt caused Fei Yao, who originally saw the situation was not good and wanted to fall to the Shu Han, to have some rebellious psychology.

Suddenly I don't want to surrender.

After sending the Shu envoy away, Fei Yao immediately dispatched dozens of scouts to investigate the movement of the Shu army.Soon I got the result I didn't want to see: the Shu troops in Jincheng and Wuwei were in order and their morale was like a rainbow.

"It seems that Ma Di is guarding against Sima Yi, and he probably won't attack Xiping in a short time." Fei Yao nodded clearly, since he learned that the Shu army attacked Liang, he finally let go of his worries a little.

He ordered all the Wei troops under his command not to move without authorization and to strictly guard their posts. After a long stretch, he went back to the bedroom and lay down and fell asleep without taking off his armor.

Now he doesn't need to do anything, just wait and see what happens, wait for Sima Yi to defeat Ma Di, Liangzhou can be lost and regained.

If Lian Sima Yi can't defeat Ma Di, what can he do as a little general?
I can only go to Shu to protect myself.

As Fei Yao expected.Three days later, Sima Yi left [-] troops to guard Longyou, and personally raised [-] troops to kill Wuwei.

But among the [-] troops, only [-] were cavalry.

In terms of comprehensive combat power, Ma Di's [-] fine cavalry and [-] auxiliary soldiers are stronger.

But Ma Di did not choose to fight Sima Yi to the death.Instead, he guarded the city, no matter how Sima Yi sent his generals to invite him to fight, he would hang up his exemption card and refuse to fight.

At the same time, a large number of catapults were arranged in the city, and a large number of ballistas were arranged on the city wall. As soon as Wei soldiers approached the city, they would launch indiscriminate attacks.

Since both equipment and troops were at a disadvantage, Sima Yi had no choice but to stand in a stalemate with the Shu army outside the city.

At the same time, the war in Longyou resumed.

Zhuge Liang personally led an army of [-] to attack Qishan Fort, and the soldiers went straight to the five counties of An, Anding, Tianshui, Guangwei, and Longxi.

You Chu, the prefect of Longxi, came to Qishan Fort to defend it in person. Cao Shuang, who was named a former general, led [-] troops to the field and retreated to Shanggu to refuse to defend.
