Chapter 214 The Blackened Sun Quan

For Ma Di, this problem is actually easy to solve.

As long as Zhuge Liang is still alive, he can continue to lead the army and fight in all directions.

However, Zhuge Liang is 51 years old this year. Since Liu Bei's death, all the burdens of Shu Han have been placed on his shoulders alone.During this period, he defended against Sun Quan in the east, conquered Manyue in the south, fought against Zhu Rong in the west, and conquered Cao Wei in the north.

Therefore, how long Zhuge Liang can live is directly related to the next strategic layout and all aspects of Shu Han.

Zhuge Liang himself is a powerful minister, and he knows the interests of powerful ministers well. He has no rebellious heart, which doesn't mean that others don't either.Therefore, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang not to have deep worries about the situation of Shu Han in a hundred years later.

In order to avoid leaving huge troubles for the Shu Han, the only way to figure out Ma Su's attitude is first.

Therefore, after Pan Heng, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Chan canonize Ma Di as "King of Liang" to test Ma Di's mind-if Ma Di accepts the canonization of King Liang, he will not be far from death.

Fortunately, Ma Su soberly refused.

Next, Zhuge Liang changed Zhao Yun's title to governor of Liangzhou to test Ma Di's reaction: he also sent Jiang Wan to observe closely.

He even came to Liangzhou to observe in person.

All these are just to determine one thing, whether Ma Di is reliable.

If it is reliable, the next thing will be simple, as long as you continue to trust him, entrust him with the right to command the army and conquer the world eastward.

——This is the purpose of Zhuge Liang's trip that Ma Di inferred.

He silently looked at Zhuge Liang's furrowed brows, his aging face, and those eyes that were exhausted but seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and he felt admiration spontaneously.

In any case, Zhuge Liang's belief in devoting himself to the Han Dynasty really infected him.

So Ma Di decided to make a statement to reassure Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister, Su Xianghan's heart can show the sun and the moon, and now I would like to swear to the sky that I will live up to your Majesty and the Prime Minister for the rest of my life."

Zhuge Liang was noncommittal, his brows still furrowed.

In his opinion, whether Ma Su swears or not is not the point at all.

The binding force of this oath is quite limited. Cao Cao has never recited Han in his life, which does not prevent Wei from finally replacing Han.

Furthermore, Zhuge Liang did not doubt Ma Di, after all, the two had a friendship of more than 20 years, and he always regarded Ma Di as his own.

His main purpose of coming to Liangzhou is to ask Ma Di for the magic medicine under the guise of "inspection".

As far as he knows, the magic medicine in Ma Su's hands can not only bring the dead back to life, but also resist the invasion of time and delay aging.

This man, the older he gets, the more he needs to mend.

But seeing that Ma Su didn't understand his hint, and instead showed his loyalty, Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and had no choice but to expressly said: "Youchang, the pill that Old General Zhao took..."

"Oh, there's the last one." Ma Di quickly took out a blood-locking pill and handed it over, suddenly realizing that he was fighting wits with the air.

Prime Minister Zhuge, his immediate boss, just sighed and frowned.He almost thought of the drama of "After a hundred years of prime minister, he will monopolize the power, establish himself as king or replace him with Liu Chan".

It turned out that I just came to ask for medicine.

Zhuge Liang took the black pill, his expression relaxed immediately, he pinched it in his hand and inspected it for a while, and said earnestly: "Youchang, I'm not in good health, you have to work hard, Shuhan's tomorrow depends on you."

Upon hearing this, Ma Di's eyes widened on the spot.

Prime Minister, I am loyal to you.

How can you say such things to me?

This sentence is so similar to what Zhu Di said to his second son Zhu Gaoxu, "Your son is so sick, you should try your best"!
Recalling that in the original time and space, Zhuge Liang also hinted at such words to Yang Yi before his death, but finally designated Jiang Wan as his heir.

Ma Su soon felt relieved.

He repeatedly declined and said, "Prime Minister, Su is not good at anything except fighting, so it is really difficult to take on this important task. Moreover, there have long been rumors inside and outside the Prime Minister's residence that after a hundred years of prime minister, Yang Yi, who is not the director of state affairs, will not be competent."

"Oh, who said that?" Zhuge Liang was surprised.

Ma Di pretended not to know the inside story, and analyzed sternly: "The prime minister is responsible for the affairs of the court now, but who will take over the big responsibility after the prime minister is worth deliberating."

Although Ma Di didn't say the latter words, Zhuge Liang knew what the former wanted to say.

In the past, Ma Su suddenly rose like a comet under his command. He was full of vigor and momentum, and he was surrounded by everyone with envious eyes. At that time, everyone thought that Ma Su would be his next successor.

However, after Ma Di took charge of one side, he deliberately suppressed his own attributes of governing the country and showed his talent for attacking the battlefield. This made his next development bias towards the line of chariot generals and generals, and basically missed the position of prime minister. .

Therefore, everyone knows that Zhuge Liang needs to find a new successor, and secretly people's hearts are floating.

Zhuge Liang also wanted to hear Ma Di's opinion, so he smiled and listened attentively.

Ma Di continued: "Yang Yi is 41 years old, I am 40 years old, Jiang Wan is 38 years old, and Fei Yi is 35 years old. Yang Yi is currently a high-ranking officer next to the prime minister, Jiang Wan is an important minister staying in Sichuan, and Fei Yi is an envoy to Soochow. Among all the civil and military ministers of our Shu Han, Yang Yi and Jiang Wei are the only ones who are in their prime and are favored by the prime minister. Jiang Wei is still young and has little experience. He is the future talent reserve of our Shu Han Therefore, no one but Yang Yi can take on this important task."

"Prime Minister, is Su right?"

"..."

Zhuge Liang took a careful look at Ma Su, and saw that the latter had a serious face and didn't seem to be talking nonsense, so he smiled slightly and waved his fan to see off the guests.

Ma Di let out a sigh of relief, and bowed his hands to leave.

As soon as he came out of the room, he was surrounded by a large group of people waiting outside, and everyone looked over expectantly.

Among them, Yang Yi's eyes are the most urgent.

It seems that he really wants to know what Zhuge Liang and Ma Di talked about.

Ma Di didn't want to talk to Yang Yi at first, but when he saw everyone standing in the way with curious faces, he suddenly had an idea and cupped his hands at Yang Yi: "Master Yang, congratulations."

What joy is there?

Yang Yi gave Ma Di a strange look, with question marks all over her head.

"The prime minister said just now that he is old, and Duke Wei should encourage him."

After finishing speaking, Ma Di shook his sleeves and left with a smile.

Hidden strength and name.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone had different expressions.

Yang Yi was overjoyed, stroking his beard and laughing, he calmly accepted the congratulations from everyone, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he glanced at Jiang Wan who was at the side.

You boy, what are you fighting against me with?

Jiang Wan clasped his fists and bowed to Yang Yi, bowed his head and hurried away without arguing.

Everyone also dispersed one after another, Yang Yi stood still and snorted coldly in the direction where Jiang Wan left.

He had reason to sneer at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan used to be an official under him, a person who used to hang around with him, but now he has become his direct competitor. Who can not be depressed by putting this matter on?
Before, when he was in Hanzhong, his old friend and colleague Fei Yi came to visit him. Yang Yi complained to Fei Yi: Jiang Wan is so young, poor in ability, and has a dark history of being lazy and punished. Why should this person be in power?Prime Minister Zhuge must have misread the person.He, Yang Yi, worked hard for the Shu Han, working day and night, who else would be the prime minister's first heir? !

If the competitor is Ma Di, Yang Yi will recognize it with her nose. After all, the two are not at the same level. With Ma Di's prestige today, if he really wants to develop into a civil servant, then there is nothing wrong with others. up.

But Ma Di went farther and farther towards the military world, and ran all the way towards the general guarding one side, which made Yang Yi feel that his chance had come again.

But I didn't expect that just as Ma Di, a strong enemy, left, Jiang Wan appeared out of nowhere, and Jiang Wan was still his former subordinate.

How could he swallow this breath?
Now that even the prime minister has clearly indicated his successor, Yang Yi is completely relieved.

Hold your head high and hold your chest high, striding home.

……

Zhuge Liang had a panoramic view of what happened outside the door.When he saw Ma Su "misleading" Yang Yi, he just shook his head and sighed softly.

Yang Yi's ability to handle affairs is good, and his qualifications are old, but now Zhuge Liang has removed him from the list of successors.

Before the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang had told Liu Chan that Yang Yi's character was narrow and extreme, and he could not be entrusted with great responsibilities.

When she was in charge of Shangshu in her early years, Yang Yi had a quarrel with Liu Ba, the immediate leader at the time, and later she had a bitter conflict with General Wei Yan, and then had a fierce conflict with Ma Di, and now she is fighting openly and secretly with Jiang Wan.

This kind of character that fights wherever he goes will ruin big things.

Zhuge Liang would never entrust state affairs to such a person anyway.

.........

Wuwei City, the mansion of General Zhengxi.

The light screen flickered in front of Ma Su.

After capturing the five counties of Liangzhou, most of Liangzhou was already under the control of the Shu Han. The news spread to the three counties of Liangxi, and the leaders of various forces in Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang also sent envoys to congratulate them, expressing their willingness to name Return to Shu Han.

Of course, in reality they still do their own thing and make their own decisions.

Because the main body of these local forces were the Qiang, Di, Hu, Xianbei, and Huns, and because of the long distance, Ma Di agreed to their request for surrender before the newly acquired Erli County of Liangzhou was digested.

So far, Liangzhou has completely fallen into the hands of the Shu Han.

If you add the Yunzhou (Nanzhong Seven Counties) that Zhuge Liang divided, the Shu Han currently has three states and one place (Yunzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Xiqiang), which is roughly equivalent to the territory of four states, and the areas under its jurisdiction Completely surpassed Soochow.

This situation is not unsatisfactory!
Considering that the last time the Shu Han population was counted was the last time.After that, the entire Liangzhou was conquered, so it is necessary to re-count the basic situation of the Shu Han.

Therefore, taking advantage of the intermission, Ma Di moved the great wizard off the table, then called out the system, entered Liu Chan's name in the "Scan other people's attributes" column, and took a closer look.

"Fuck!"

Even though he had expected it long ago, Ma Di was still overjoyed, and the scene came and recorded a backflip for three and a half weeks.

This year's hard work has not been in vain. Although the war has been going on, the Shu Han's family has become more and more prosperous.

The impact brought by these vivid numbers is really exciting.

Counting the army, the total population of Shu Han has reached 367 million.This population...

Ma Su couldn't wait to kill Liu Chan's head and type in Sun Quan's name.

Silently savoring the great pleasure brought by secretly peeping into other people's details.

Then Emperor Sun would never have thought that Ma Di would see through all the details of a person sitting at home.

"..."

In the past year, the population of Soochow has decreased by less than [-]?
It seems that Sun Shiwan has been very thorough recently.

The Shuhan fought the Wei State on the western front, but he was scratching every hole on the eastern front.

This stick!

It also changed from friendly to enemy!
It seems that Shu Han is going to tighten his ass so as not to be attacked again!

Ma Di shook his head, not surprised by Sun Quan's blackening, and entered Cao Rui's name instead.

Now that I've seen the old guy Sun Quan's underpants, I naturally touched the little fresh meat Cao Ruigen's feet.

"..."

After looking at the basic situation of the two enemy countries, Ma Su fell silent.

That's right, two enemy countries.

On the surface, the state of Wu still maintains its alliance with the Shu Han, but in fact its heart is completely dark.

However, the current Shu Han has grown to the point where it is no longer afraid to be enemies with two countries at the same time.

What gave Ma Di confidence was not only the population of several 10 more than Soochow.

There are also [-] elite cavalry.

And his increasingly sophisticated military prowess.

Although Shu Han still differs from Wu and Wei in terms of wealth, such a solid foundation is enough to make Shu Han invincible without taking the initiative to attack.

Therefore, it is best not to make any big moves recently. It is the best policy to wait quietly for Sun Quan and Cao Wei to make moves, and then strike later.

Thinking about this, Ma Su nodded.

X off the light screen.

Put the things you just moved back on the table,
Let's talk about the war tomorrow.

It is important to decide the outcome with this table first today.
