Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 763
At the end of December, Wang Ping finally crossed the mountains and bypassed the Wei army, and was welcomed back to Wudu by the search team sent by Wei Yan.

Without taking care of washing and changing clothes, Wang Ping asked Wei Yan for news, and was shocked when he learned that Ma Di was wanted: "You have been wronged."

Wang Ping told Wei Yanhe the whole story of the battle of Jieting. "I'm going to see the prime minister to clear Xiao Chang's name."

Wei Yan quickly pulled Wang Ping back: "Don't worry, Zijun, let me think about it."

Close your eyes slightly and tap your fingers lightly, this is a habit Wei Yan learned from Zhou Cang.Wang Ping became more and more anxious: "Master Wen, what else are you thinking about?"

"Hey! I also tried to persuade the prime minister, but the prime minister didn't listen." Wei Yanchang sighed, "Thinking about it now, even if you don't die in the Wei army, you will not escape death when you come back."

"Ah? Why is that?"

"Zijun think about it. Regardless of the use of troops, nearly 2 horses were lost in the battle of Jieting, and there were not many left in the Wudang army. As the main general, you should be executed according to military law. Not only you, but also you, Gao Xiang, Li Sheng and the others cannot escape the guilt. If the defeat of the army is caused by Xiaochang’s disobedience to your advice, then all the culpability will be borne by him, and Zijun can be exonerated.”

Wang Ping was furious: "Am I a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I was wronged when I was young, how did I steal my life, and why did Wen Chang say such a thing?"

"Zijun, don't worry, our army has lost a lot in this battle, we can't lose another general..."

"Mr. Wen's words are wrong. How can we be held solely by Youchang? Forgive me for not agreeing! Whether you live or die, Youchang must not lose his reputation!" Wang Ping wanted to get up.

"Sit down!" Wei Yan roared.

Wang Ping was taken aback: "What else can Wen Chang say? If you talk about this again, Wang Ping dare not hear it!"

"You said just now that when you first arrived at Jieting, you Chang once said that the best place to settle in is Lueyang or Longdi?"

"Exactly, so what?"

"Okay, but the prime minister ordered you to wait to guard the kiosk! In terms of crimes, should the prime minister's mistaken military order be the first crime?"

"Ah?" Wang Ping sat down blankly.Yes, there are many reasons for the failure of Jieting. Zhuge Liang's order is undoubtedly a very important one. Is it possible to ask the prime minister?
"The prime minister has already asked to be demoted to three ranks..." Wei Yan murmured, Ma Di not only had to take the blame for the three of them, but also Zhuge Liang. Protect Zhuge Liang. "Li Ping has been escorted back to Chengdu by Fei Yi to be sent by the emperor. Li Sheng and Huang Xi are in custody."

With the loss of [-] troops, taking down a minister of Gu Ming, and detaining two generals, we can no longer be implicated... Wang Ping remained silent. Do you want to remain silent?

Wei Yan thought more, Zhuge Liang promoted Ma Di in violation of the law, how many people were watching, Wang Ping came out to speak for Ma Di at this time, would others believe it?Everyone will only think that this is Wang Ping's instruction from Zhuge Liang to excuse Ma Di, Ma Di escaped death, is it worth it?Then how many people will question Li Ping's handling, the hearts of the generals and the army will collapse, and Zhuge Liang's prestige will plummet. Is it still far from subjugation?Li Ping is a thorn in Zhuge Liang's heart. If Ma Di is not dealt with, how can Li Ping be dealt with?

"Then forget it?" Wang Ping's hands trembled a little.

Wei Yan smiled wryly: "That's the only way. Perhaps on the day of unification of the world, Xiaochang can be rehabilitated."

Wang Ping returns, but Ma Su's whereabouts are still unknown.Zhuge Liang did not revoke the arrest of Ma Su. During this expedition, he found that there was a branch road of Jinniu Road that could go directly to Mianzhu through Yinping, bypassing Jiange. Sheng and Huang Xi were sent to garrison.Because of his outspoken advice, Wang Ping fulfilled his responsibilities and was exempted from accountability; Wei Yan added hundreds of households to the city because of his meritorious deeds in beheading the king.

The battle of Jieting seemed to be over, but Wang Ping felt extremely guilty and depressed, and sent two hundred Wudang troops to continue searching for Ma Su.No one expected that a search team of ten people would find Ma Su who looked like a savage!Wudangjun was grateful for Ma Di's life-saving grace, and couldn't bear to arrest Ma Di, so he secretly took him to Wang Ping's tent.

In the mountains, Ma Su led hundreds of people to fight guerrillas with thousands of Wei soldiers in circles, annihilating hundreds of enemies and repelling the Wei army, while most of his hundred soldiers were killed or injured.In the midwinter season, lack of clothing and clothing, dozens of people committed suicide due to serious injuries, died of freezing, starved to death, or fell into the mountain stream.

"Youchang..." Wang Ping held Ma Di's hands, his eyes were full of tears, and he didn't know where to start.

After listening to Wang Ping's complaint, Ma Di remained surprisingly calm. "I should be a dead person. I hate that my ambition is not fulfilled and I dare not say I am dead. Wang Zijun helps me."

"Youchang just say it, Wang Ping will die!"

Ma Di shook his head: "I can't show up now, I can only hide, Zijun is slowly dealing with me, Wang Shuang is dead, Jiang Boyue may be able to clear my name."

"I will capture Jiang Wei alive!" Wang Ping gritted his teeth. "By the way, there are also Li Sheng and Huang Xi. The prime minister must have believed their slander..."

Ma Di shook his head again: "Jiang Wei is very wise, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Maybe in the past few years, the prime minister's anger has subsided and he was exempted from being wanted. I will make a judgment after I have made a contribution. As for Li Sheng and Huang Xi, Zijun has to be careful. People must have been in collusion and refused to speak for us."

Zhuge Liang sent Li Sheng and Huang Xi to Yinping, this desolate land, because he didn't want these two people to appear in front of everyone again.

"Youchang, don't tell me you've been bearing the burden of humiliation all this time, dragging on your life? Maybe there will never be a time for revenge."

"So what? The prime minister treats me like a child, and I feel grateful for the prime minister's great kindness, but failing to guard the street pavilion for him is already a serious crime, how can we make trouble again. If you have no worries about your ambition, you are willing to die old age in the mountains."

Ma Di and fifteen Wudang soldiers were placed in Wang Ping's former residence in the mountains by Wang Ping. Ma Di concealed his identity and waited for the opportunity.

Year 70 of the Han Dynasty passed like this, and after several years of preparation, Han, Shu, and Wei dispatched a total of more than [-] troops, and the great battle that started in the five states of Yong, Liang, Si, Bing, and Yan came to an end.If Xianbei and Mengzhou are counted, there are as many as [-] people.

Shu won first and then lost, losing nearly [-] people, and only captured [-] people into Hanzhong.Wei lost all of Bingzhou, plus the three counties of Hanoi, Jibei, and Lu, and generals such as Cao Hong, Wang Shuang, Bao Xun, and Xu Yi. They lost nearly [-] people and struggled to hold the defense.The Han Dynasty spent countless money and food, seized five counties in total, and lost about [-] yuan. The biggest gain was in the north. Due to the rash actions of the Xianbei people, the Han army invaded Mobei, and Fenglangjuxu was just around the corner.

However, the biggest winner was Sun Quan in the south. He once again opened up thousands of miles and built a new state of Myanmar. Sun Quan seized the last opportunity to move the people of Jingnan to the south to enrich the population.All the eastbound fleets disappeared. Sun Quan knew that Zhou Cang was responsible for it, so he had to change to the westbound. The result made him even more happy. There is still a vast land waiting for him to explore!
