Chapter 119 With this magical weapon, why worry about failing to achieve great things! (Please vote for me!)
After a hearty meal of fatherly education, everyone in the house looked at Ma Di with relief.
Back, the familiar horse ginseng will be back.
This is the true face of General Ma.
He may appear gentle and gentle on the outside, but he may be as violent as fire on the inside. If he disagrees with you, he will act out a drama of "nothing can be done without fighting".
Among these children, except for the youngest Ma Qian, which one has not been beaten by him ten times or eight times?
Therefore, the current General Ma Shen and the original General Ma Shen are facing each other.
This is the flavor of Confucianism on the outside but strength on the inside.
Ma Su also felt this deeply.
From his sons, he already knows "his" character. As long as he acts according to this style in the future, his personality will be maintained.
But there is one more hurdle.
The first wife and "him" had slept in the same bed for sixteen years, and had done the things they loved thousands of times together. She was very familiar with "his" behavior and was not easy to fool.
The best way is to use the excuse of liking the new and hating the old, and never get close to your original wife or touch her, so as not to reveal your flaws.
Therefore, this is why Ma Su insisted on taking the Qiang girls back to Chengdu.
The whole plan is perfect!
Ma Su was very happy to never touch his original wife again. On the one hand, he had no emotional basis; on the other hand, out of respect for the original owner, he felt that he had taken advantage of him by getting five sons for nothing, and he could not push her further and take her away.
The lady also fell asleep.
You can sleep, but it's not necessary.
What's more, he has a better choice... the great wizard.
Therefore, Ma Su took the Qiang women into the guest room and directly expressed his attitude of "loving the new and hating the old" through his actions.
Then, he settled down in his own house safely.
…
Three days later, the canonization ceremony was held as scheduled in the palace hall.
The kings and ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty gathered together. Liu Chanan, the queen, sat on the throne. The ministers, headed by Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, lined up on both sides, hunched their hands and silenced their voices, waiting to hear the conferment.
Liu Chan first emphatically praised his father-in-law, Zhuge Liang, for his insight and talent, his civilized military ethics, his ability to level the south and determine the north, expand his territory, take care of national affairs, and achieve great results through hard work. He can be called a model for all officials and the leader of the Yan Han...
A lot of blah blah blah.
Zhuge Liang accepted Liu Chan's praise calmly, because this was an objective fact and Liu Chan's words were not exaggerated.
It's just that Ma Su yawned when he heard it.
Originally, he came today with the expectation of being the protagonist and the center of attention.
But it was never his turn to play, which made him feel a little drowsy.
Fortunately, after a stick of incense, this long speech in praise of virtue finally came to an end.
Liu Chan's eyes returned to Ma Di.
Ma Su was refreshed and straightened his spine.
He had so many achievements that he could not even count them in an hour. He defended the street pavilion, attacked Chencang, defended Hanzhong, captured Xiabian, captured Jianwei, conquered the Southern Qiang, settled the Eastern Qiang, and recovered the Xianling Qiang.
Shu Han increased its population by hundreds of thousands and its army by tens of thousands.
Not to mention, he also made a huge contribution by defeating Zhang He seven times in a row and beating one hundred thousand elites of the Wei State to the point where they were almost crippled.
Therefore, he was ready to receive an hour-long compliment.
Half an hour is fine.
But Liu Chan said calmly: "Now Ma Su is appointed as the governor of Yongzhou and the general of Zhenbei. Everything will be under the control of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the dynasty will be dispersed."
Then, he got up and left with the eunuch.
The entire canonization process takes less than five seconds.
Ma Su kowtowed and thanked him, stood up slowly, took the relevant seal and ribbon from Zhuge Liang's hand, and waited in confusion for the officials in the court to come forward to congratulate him.
Is it gone?
I am the protagonist today.
Was the canonization process a little hasty?
Forget it, as long as you get the official position, we won't steal the prime minister's limelight.
Thinking of this, Ma Su quickly calmed down.
After the dismissal of the dynasty, he followed Zhuge Liang to the Prime Minister's Mansion, accompanied by Yang Yi, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhuge Liang's carriage was in front, and Ma Di and Yang Yi were riding behind.
Yang Yi cupped her hands, with an obvious sourness in her voice: "Congratulations, You Chang. From today on, you are the governor of Yongzhou."
Isn't it possible for a young general like you to call You Chang directly? Ma Su glanced sideways at Yang Yi: "Are you sincere?"
Yang Yi was silent for a moment: "I have no pretense."
"Then you call Yongzhou Governor, General Zhenbei, and I'll listen."
"..." Yang Yi endured it for a while, then finally turned the horse's head and walked away without even entering the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ma Su laughed loudly while riding his horse, causing the soldiers accompanying him to look sideways.
After a while, he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, got off his horse, and followed Zhuge Liang inside.
Entering the gate, Zhuge Liang glanced at Ma Su and sighed helplessly: "Youchang, you can kill with just a nod. You have already defeated Yang Yi, why can't you be more tolerant?"
I couldn't tolerate him. Ma Su nodded: "I understand, Prime Minister."
"Definitely next time."
With this perfunctory attitude, Zhuge Liang sighed again and changed the subject: "My wife has made a light balloon, but how to control the direction of the balloon is still unclear. Young Chang, come with me to the backyard to have a look."
While talking, the two of them came to the workshop in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
What I saw before my eyes was a large balloon that looked like a person's height above the ground. It was about to fly, but it was firmly tied to a big stone rope by a rope.
A group of soldiers gathered around with weapons in hand, ready to fight.
Ma Su checked the light balloon, nodded repeatedly and said: "Prime Minister, this is simple."
"You can control the direction by simply changing the height of the balloon in the air. Because the wind direction in the sky is different at different heights, at different times, and in different places, you need to look for different wind layers if you want to adjust the direction. If you can't hit it,
The wind in the direction it needs to go can only temporarily fall to the ground and wait for the wind direction to change."
"Normally speaking, ordinary people only need to fly a few times to understand the air flow patterns at different heights. For example, if you are 300 to 500 steps above the ground, the south wind will blow, and if you are 600 to 800 steps away, the north wind will blow. If you want to go north,
When walking, stay at the wind level of 300 to 500 steps; if you want to go south, move up to the north wind level."
"The driver only needs to decide to deflate (lower) or heat (raise) the balloon's drawstring and the size of the balloon's upper mouth.
"In this way, you can go wherever you want."
Zhuge Liang nodded, took out a brand new umbrella bag, and said: "This umbrella is quite exquisite. Fortunately, the principle is simple and not difficult to make."
This imitation speed was a bit exaggerated. Ma Su was surprised and suggested: "Prime Minister, since you have made balloons and parachute bags, why not take advantage of the situation and build an aerial flying army!"
"Flying troops in the air?" Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and frowned as he pondered.
To be honest, this proposal is very constructive.
Ma Di continued: "The flying army has a wide range of uses and a great effect, which can determine the outcome of a war."
"I will give you just one example: the current maximum load of a single balloon is about 800 kilograms (hajin, equivalent to about 200 kilograms). If four balloons are connected with ropes, they can carry a load of 3,200 kilograms. If used in this way
Transport food...our army will never have to worry about running out of food!"
"This is exactly the subtlety of Cao Cao's chain-linked warships during the Battle of Chibi."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's eyes brightened, he looked straight over and said in a deep voice: "Give me another example!"
Ma Di is right, the failed strategy is not without its merits.
During the Battle of Chibi, it was not that the chain-link warship was weak. The main reason why it failed to work was that it encountered a well-planned fire.
If he could avoid that fire, Cao Cao could actually conquer the world very quickly.
Who can stop the chain of iron chains?
In the same way, if the balloons are connected together, the disadvantage of being afraid of fire will no longer exist - no one can run into the air to light a fire.
For a moment, Zhuge Liang even thought of many ideas, including using a series of balloons to transport soldiers and making surprise attacks behind enemy lines.
However, let’s first listen to what the new Yongzhou governor has to say.
Ma Su smiled slightly: "Transporting grain is just one of them, aerial scouting, I wonder if the Prime Minister has heard of it?"
As he spoke, Ma Su first pointed to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then pointed to the sky: "Suppose this is the Wei army's camp, and our scouts ride in balloons to monitor the sky day and night...Does the Prime Minister think this battle can be won?"
Wonderful!
Zhuge Liang's eyes brightened: "Go on!"
Ma Di cleared his throat, organized his words, and said: "In addition to transporting food and scouting, this ball can also be used to disrupt the enemy's trial. If our army wants to take Tianshui, it can first send a series of balloons from Ziwu Valley to the sky above Chang'an.
, dropped leaflets...that is, false news, saying that our army intends to advance from the four directions of Hanzhong. When the Wei army learns this news, they will not dare to act rashly. Then, our army can directly attack Longyou! Then we can attack the east and attack the west!"
"In addition, this ball can also be used to carry soldiers to sneak attacks and seize cities and seize passes. No matter how high the city wall or how steep the pass is, it can't stop the divine soldiers descending from the sky."
"Enough, enough!" Zhuge Liang said with great joy: "Listening to what You Chang said, it really enlightened Liang."
"With the help of this killing weapon, why worry about the great cause of Shu Han failing?!"
Hearing this, Ma Di shook his head and poured cold water on Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, even with the help of this ball, our chance of winning is still less than 50%. You must know that there is a capricious and evil neighbor beside my Shu Han bed.
"
That's right, I'm talking about you, Wu Guo!
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang quickly calmed down.
It makes sense, Wu Guo, this young man, must be on guard against him.
Once the news spreads that the Shu Han has a light balloon, it will definitely become a public enemy, the Shu-Wu alliance will definitely break up in an instant, and Wei and Wu will definitely join forces to deal with the Shu Han.
By then, the situation in Shu will be even more difficult.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to hide Zhuozhuo, block the fact that Shu Han has the light balloon, and hide this trump card. Even Guanzhong cannot continue to attack it.
Because once the Shu Han takes Guanzhong, the alliance with the Wu State will be in jeopardy. The Wu State will not sit back and watch the Shu Han build the foundation to strengthen the Qin Dynasty.
The most the Shu Han can do is capture Longyou, and then quietly develop the population and national strength. When the right time comes, they will use their trump card to sweep through Guanzhong and even the world with lightning speed!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang called his soldiers and immediately implemented closed management of the Prime Minister's Mansion to prevent the news of the "secret murder weapon" from leaking out.
At the same time, a decree was issued to suspend all preparations for the Northern Expedition, and instead focused on appeasing people's livelihood, developing water conservancy, and encouraging people to have more children.
After all these measures were implemented, it was already a few days later, and the season had entered early spring without realizing it.
In spring, everything revives, and it's the season of animal reproduction.
In the backyard of Yongzhou Governor's Mansion, Ma Su pushed the swing hard and watched the Qiang girls swing back and forth as the swing swung.
The clear, joyful laughter of the Qiang girls resounded throughout the backyard.
