Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, just want to die

Chapter 717 Unification of the world

After the main force of the Wei army collapsed, the road to Yecheng was opened.

Ma Su quickly ordered Liu Yin to lead the army north to pursue the remnants of the Wei army and take over the counties in Hebei. Ma Su personally led 3,000 cavalrymen and galloped all the way to Yecheng.

In fact, the distance from Baimajin to Yecheng was not far. Ma Su led his cavalry troops and rode lightly and quickly, and arrived at the foot of Yecheng in three days.

However, when Ma Su arrived at the city of Ye, he was stunned. After repeatedly comparing it with the map for a long time, he turned around and asked Ma Zhongdao.

"Are we really not going in the wrong direction?"

"No...right?" Ma Zhong was also a little uncertain and replied cautiously.

The current Yecheng has become a scorched earth. Such a large city has been mostly reduced to ruins, and even the city walls have been destroyed.

If you didn't know, you would have thought this place was massacred.

"Hiss... I finally understand why the people from the Military Council repeatedly emphasized the fire in Yecheng. Did this city really get completely destroyed?" After confirming again and again, Ma Su couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to meet Zhong Hui very much. After all, it does take strength to be able to turn a country's capital into this state with one's own hands.

You know, in the original history, Yecheng, the center of Hebei, had existed for hundreds of years. It was not until before the founding of the Sui Dynasty that it was destroyed under the manipulation of Yang Jian.

And now, Yecheng was destroyed four hundred years ahead of schedule, and we have to admire Zhong Hui's ability.

"Forget it, let's go into the city and take over the defense first, and then see how many people are still alive." Ma Su shook his head slightly, and then led the Han army into Yecheng.

What Ma Su did not expect was that in Yecheng, the capital of Cao Wei, after seeing the Han army entering, all the people who were still able to breathe came to greet them, bringing their old and young with them.

In the eyes of the residents of Yecheng, the Han army at this moment was the great royal army.

Soon, Yecheng was successfully taken over by Ma Su (after all, there was nothing left). At the same time, this also meant that Jizhou, the richest state in Guandong, was officially incorporated into the territory of Ji Han.

Ma Su also made some inquiries and found out what happened in Yecheng after the fire.

"How dare this fool Zhong Hui go and fleece the rich and powerful? Is he trying to kill himself?" Ma Su was speechless. He found that since he started it, there have been many more incidents of blatant robbery of the rich and powerful.

They really don't want to die. Are those people so easy to rob? If they were so easy to rob, I wouldn't have needed to rely on them to commit suicide.

"Yes, I really feel like my life is in danger." The head of Yecheng's Military Council smiled helplessly and then added.

"And as expected, he started a fight with the private soldiers of the wealthy family that day. Before you arrived, General, they had been fighting for several days, and the entire Yecheng was paralyzed. Burning, killing and looting have become the norm in the past half month..."

In a nutshell, Yecheng has been destroyed.

"Where is Zhong Hui?" Ma Su raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps he is dead... His troops were scattered a few days ago, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Oh..." Ma Su shook his head regretfully, expressing his sorrow for the passing of such a talented person.

Such a great talent, with his own strength, helped the Han Dynasty solve several problems. Then he was rewarded for his merits, and suddenly disappeared, hiding his merits and fame.

Well... good guy.

"Let the soldiers search to see if there are any living members of the Cao clan. Your Majesty has always been concerned about the person sitting next to him, and we can't let your Majesty wait in vain." Soon, the Han army began to search for the Cao Wei clan in the entire Yecheng. Unfortunately, Zhong Hui's work was done very well, and all the Cao Wei clan members in Yecheng were killed. The Han army searched around, but didn't find a single living person.

This result made Ma Su speechless, but at the same time, he also felt... understanding?
Cao Aman, oh Cao Aman, after seeing this scene, will you in your grave regret your act of massacring the city?
Haha, it’s all cause and effect.

At this time, Ma Su suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase "three horses in the same trough".

Ma Chao had shaken the foundation of Cao Wei's rule in the northwest. Ma Su personally led his troops to destroy Cao Wei's regime. And Sima Zhao... had single-handedly wiped out the entire Cao clan!
Three horses in one trough!

"Tsk... I suddenly believe that this is my fate." Ma Su couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, a soldier finally came rushing over to report.

"General! We found a dying child in the ruins. We found the token of the pseudo-Wei royal family from him!"

"Oh?"

At the same time that Ma Su captured Yecheng, Jiang Wei, Liu Yin, Shu Ji, Zhang Yi and other generals attacked from all sides. All the counties in Hebei surrendered without much resistance, and Jizhou was recovered.

Yang Hu in Qinghe County abandoned his army and fled after hearing that Sima Shi was defeated and Yecheng fell. Xiahou Ba then recruited his troops and took the initiative to find Ma Dai to surrender.

As for the last remnants of the Sima family, they fled all the way to Yijing. Then, when the Han army came to attack, they quickly abandoned the city and fled to Liaodong.

At this point, the last piece of the puzzle of the Han Dynasty's territory was recovered. Except for Liaodong, all of the Han Dynasty's territories had been recovered.

This also means...the world is unified!

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the fifth year of Zhongping in the late Han Dynasty, the Central Plains has been plunged into a long chaos. After decades of disputes, this piece of Chinese land was finally unified again in the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Jianxing!

When the news reached Luoyang, Zhuge Liang could not hold back his tears, even though he had expected it. The old minister, who was in his seventies, cried like a child.

It has been 27 years since Zhuge Liang took office as prime minister in the first year of Zhangwu. After decades of hardships, this veteran minister of the two dynasties of the Han Dynasty finally saw something he had never dared to dream of.

Ji Han really unified the world!

"Emperor, did you see that? The Han Dynasty has truly been revived!"

Zhuge Liang looked to the southwest, and for a moment he was overwhelmed with emotions. He even felt that it would be worth it even if he died here right now.

Of course, this is impossible. After years of keeping fit, Zhuge Liang is in better health than Ma Su, so it is not certain who will give the gift to whom.

Zhuge Liang was excited but did not forget his business. He immediately ordered someone to deliver the good news to Chang'an. After calming down, Zhuge Liang also began to plan for the future, such as recuperation and letting Liu Chan go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods.

Looking back to the past, when the late emperor named Adou, he dreamed of offering sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tai...
