Chapter 137 Fame and wealth guide me (please vote for me!)
…
"My father plowed the fields, and my mother planted mulberry trees. I was destined to perish with the Han Dynasty."
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ma Su couldn't help but read these words, his heart suddenly became a little heavy, and his belief in helping the Han Dynasty became stronger.
Not for anything else, just for those people who can sing and cry.
Don't make them make the same mistakes again.
On the road from Chengdu to Hanzhong, the spring fields are high, facing the intoxicating spring breeze. Two horses and three people are walking, the hoofs of the horses are clanging, and the shadows of the three people riding horses are jumping on the ground.
Because I have been studying how many thorns a leaf has in the past few days. At this moment, although there is a beauty sitting in his arms and the fragrance is overwhelming, Ma Su has no distracting thoughts and is as cold as a wise man.
Unmoved at all.
Originally, he did not plan to bring the great wizard with him on this expedition, but after carefully considering her "intelligence" talent (men saw a temporary loss of intelligence, and women saw an increase in wisdom and gain revenge), Ma Di felt that the latter should be left behind.
It's very dangerous at home in Chengdu. You might get scratched into a big mess by your first wife and a group of maids.
Considering this, Ma Su thought it would be better to take the great wizard with him, so that he could use it to distract himself in case he got bored along the way.
By the way, it can also make some contribution to the basic national policy of Shu Han.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Of course, the powerful wizard would definitely not be able to go to the front line, and Ma Su had no intention of taking her to the front line for adventure.
He had already made arrangements.
Because in addition to having a Yongzhou governor's mansion in Chengdu and Xixian each, he also had a separate mansion in Weixian, Xiabian and Lueyang.
Because he suffered from being a house slave in later generations, the first thing Ma Di did when he arrived in this era was to retaliate and buy real estate.
Every city he visited had a mansion.
Therefore, keeping the Qiang women in Lueyang is the best solution that can be thought of at present.
After making up his mind, Ma Su waved his whip and galloped his horse forward.
Since the horse was unknown in Sichuan and the red BMW was left in Xianling Qiang, Ma Su's mount was just an ordinary Yunnan horse with short legs.
This horse is very capable of carrying heavy loads, but it is not very fast.
In addition, the road to and from Hanzhong has not had time to be repaired. It is still a bumpy road. It has been crushed by people, animals and vehicles. It is as rotten as a pockmarked face and has many potholes. The journey is like a roller coaster, bumping back and forth and shaking up and down.
Although the pony has certain shock-absorbing properties, Ma Su still held the great wizard and enjoyed the pleasure of dancing for three days on the bumpy dirt road, vomiting and defecating several times, before finally reaching his destination.
Mian County, Hanzhong.
The Shu Han army is stationed here to defend Hanzhong and take care of the cities in Longyou.
Mian County looks very poor and dilapidated, with mottled city walls and old buildings. People wearing patches and looking in a hurry can be seen everywhere on the streets, carrying tools and driving cattle, busy with spring plowing.
But even in such a poor Mian County, the economic conditions are much better than those of the indigenous tribes in Nanzhong. At least the place is full of civilization.
There are no cement roads in Mian County, but there are dilapidated but majestic high cities and straight streets; old but neat and orderly houses; cloth shops, blacksmith shops, and grain houses.
Merchants from the Western Regions led camels around and asked in broken Chinese, "Jie Ge hides Shao Qian" and "Hot man hides Shao Qian".
There was even a large wine shop in the city for the literati to have fun.
There were at least 300 restaurants of this size in Luoyang City, the capital of Wei Dynasty, and only more than 30 in Chengdu. However, Mian County, which is located at the transportation hub of Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Longyou, only had one.
It can be seen that the poverty of the Shu Han people is deep into the bone marrow, and they cannot hope to change their backwardness after ten or eight years of development.
Ma Su silently felt the atmosphere of the remote countryside, walked through the city and fields to the outside of the city, reined in the horse, and stopped steadily outside the military camp.
Zhang Xiu rode away on horseback, holding the military talisman, and rushed into the military camp at lightning speed. As soon as he tightened the reins, the short-legged horse immediately stood up with its two horse hooves still kicking in mid-air, neighing "Herod".
When he stepped on it, he raised his hands and shouted:
"According to the Prime Minister's order, we will mobilize a thousand Wudang flying troops for the Northern Expedition!"
Wang Ping, the commander of the camp, almost peed his pants when he heard this, but he still dispatched a thousand soldiers according to the order. Then he came to the horse, opened his eyes wide, stumbled and asked: "Beibei, Northern Expedition? One, one thousand soldiers
horse?"
Are you kidding?
Zhang Xiu looked around and saw the resolute faces of the soldiers. After confirming that they were all elite soldiers, he nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, a thousand soldiers and horses! Northern Expedition!"
Wang Ping sent Zhang Xiu out of the camp with anxiety. When he looked up and saw Ma Su waiting outside, he suddenly understood.
It turns out that he is the general!
Only General Ma could lead a thousand men to the Northern Expedition.
Who else could be as tough as him?
Their eyes met across the distance, and they bowed their heads in greeting.
Even during the truce, the thirty-five-year-old Wang Ping still wore a helmet and armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes had a calm look befitting his age.
"Young Chang, long time no see." Wang Ping bowed his hands in greeting.
Ma Su turned over and came down from behind the great wizard, and met him warmly.
The two are old partners.
Although they had disliked each other before, both of them were narrow-minded and vindictive people, and on the surface they still maintained the enthusiasm that should be expected among colleagues.
Wang Ping deliberately pulled Ma Su aside to a remote place, glanced at the Qiang girl, and asked in a low voice: "Youchang, who is she?"
Ma Su looked at him in surprise: "This is my new wife, don't you know?"
"I've heard that you were in trouble but gave up... Oh no, you fell in love with each other... ahem, make a new love." Wang Ping nodded: "The general said, can she go with the army? The prime minister has already set the military law.
, Women are not allowed to accompany the army, doesn’t You Chang know?”
Ruining my good reputation? Very good, I have recorded this account.
Ma Su waved his hand and said indifferently: "Although she is my wife, she also has another identity, the Pingqiang General Staff."
"Without her, it is absolutely impossible for the Dong Qiang and Xian Ling Qiang to be conquered by me quietly under the eyes of the Wei Guo Qiang Captain. Therefore, the Prime Minister specifically allowed her to accompany the army and give me advice."
What are you talking about? Isn't it just "General Staff* when there's something going on, General Staff when there's nothing going on"? Don't think I don't know. Wang Ping gave Ma Su a deep look.
There was a moment of silence.
A strong jealousy surged in my heart.
Ma Su laughed loudly and led a thousand soldiers away.
…
In Chencang City, a small military meeting is being held.
Guard General Hao Zhaokai spoke solemnly about the latest military trends of the Shu Kingdom. Deputy General Wang Shuang was a rough man and could not understand various military terms and place names. He only understood one thing.
There was a war.
This news cheered him up.
He is a martial artist, and no war means no possibility of promotion or salary increase.
Only when war comes, will he have the opportunity to make achievements, marry a noble girl, and reach the pinnacle of life.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a sentence: "Sichuan general Ma Su claimed that he would lead 50,000 troops out of Ziwu Valley to attack Chang'an. However, I have already concluded that this is a plan to attack the east and attack the west. Chencang will usher in a fierce battle in the near future. Behind you, I am
There are thousands of people in the Wei Dynasty. If anyone dares to retreat in the face of the battle, don't blame Hao for being ruthless with his sword!"
Hearing this, Wang Shuang's mood suddenly became excited.
Fifty thousand troops to attack Chencang?
Well done!
With the strength of Chencang City, no matter how many soldiers and horses come, it will be useless!
Even if 100,000 soldiers and horses come, only a few hundred people will be able to approach the city from the gentle slope from the north.
It’s time to earn your battle merits!
Ah ha ha ha ha!
It’s like someone gives you a wife when you come, and someone gives you a pillow when you feel sleepy. Finally, it’s my turn, Wang Shuang, to appear.
I am indeed the son of destiny.
Just when Wang Shuang wanted to look up to the sky and smile, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw everyone looking at him with wide eyes. The general Hao Zhao had a gloomy look on his face, with a displeased expression on his face.
Oops, I got a little carried away. I haven't gotten the city defense mission yet, so I have to restrain myself. I won't laugh until I get this mission.
Wang Shuang suddenly became solemn and said in a deep voice: "General Hao completely agrees with General Hao's analysis. The analysis is so incisive and hit the nail on the head! The success or failure of Chencang City is related to the safety of Chang'an, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, and is related to hundreds of thousands of people in the country.
For the vital interests of the surname, we must not underestimate the enemy lightly, let alone retreat before the battle. This time to defend the city, the general will definitely go to the north city, willing to take the risk of arrows, not afraid of the danger of life and death, and resolutely repel all possible attacks by the Shu army.
.So, whoever wants to compete with me for the position of North Gate Guard looks down on me, Wang Shuang!"
As soon as this was said, the whole audience fell into silence.
All the generals present looked at each other.
To be honest, the structure of this passage is a bit high, a bit sudden, and it catches people off guard.
The most important thing is that no one wants to compete for the position of North Gate guard.
That was Ma Su, the most capable general of the Shu army!
God knows how frightened and scared everyone felt when they learned that Ma Su might lead 50,000 troops to attack Chencang.
As a general, what opponent are you most afraid of?
Aren't they just ruthless people like Lu Xun and Ma Su, who would either not fight or fight until the opponent's entire army was annihilated?
Therefore, Wang Shuang's passionate speech was very strange.
But the effect is still there.
Hao Zhao's expression quickly relaxed and he looked at Wang Shuang approvingly: "What Zi Quan said makes sense, but I don't know how to defend this city?"
Once the ideological concepts of resolutely defending the city were unified, it was time to discuss specific operations.
Defending a city is not just about talking and expressing your stance, it also requires a lot of preparation.
Hearing this, Wang Shuang secretly wiped his forehead, knowing that he had successfully resolved his boss's dissatisfaction.
After thinking for a while, he said: "The four things are like rolling logs, stones, bows and arrows, and gold soup. The more the merrier!"
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent again.
To be honest, although Wang Shuang is a rough man, he knows a lot about military affairs. This suggestion is very reasonable.
As long as these four defensive materials are sufficient, Chencang City will be as solid as an iron rock.
Hao Zhao nodded, looked around at everyone, coughed slightly, his eyes rested on Wang Shuang's slightly trembling hands, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Shuang, I order you to command five hundred elite troops to guard the North City..."
"The last general takes command!"
Wang Shuang shouted loudly, stood up suddenly, the veins on his forehead popped out, his eyes widened and he cupped his hands and said: "The last general will live up to the trust of the general, ensure that the city is still alive and the people are alive, and the city is destroyed and everyone is killed!"
After speaking loudly several times in a row, all the generals were infected by Wang Shuang's passionate passion and looked at the latter with admiration.
Rush to do jobs that are life-threatening.
This person is capable!
In the end, Wang Shuang got what he wanted and got the task of guarding Beicheng. He held the hilt of his sword and strode out.
Three days later.
At the top of Chencang City, the generals of the Wei army were holding the city head and looking at the small group of Shu soldiers below the city. After searching around, they could not find the general Ma Di. The generals were suddenly in a state of confusion.
Why did so many people come?
Could this be a suspicious soldier?
Then Ma Di, wouldn't he really lead 50,000 troops to attack Chang'an?
Thinking of this, all the generals felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.
