Chapter 246 Ma Su: This terrible tacit understanding
Although he did not think that Soochow would openly attack the Shu Han, precautions were still necessary. Zhuge Liang ordered Jiang Wei to go to Yong'an and coordinate with the generals to take strict precautions against Soochow.
As for Ma Su's shocking move again, because it was beyond his reach, he could only condemn it on a psychological level.
…
In the winter of the ninth year of Jianxing, Jiaozhou, Yulin County.
The thirty-first day after leaving Chengdu.
The fragrant cool wind blew from all directions. Ma Su closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the southern air. For him who was accustomed to the cold climate in central Sichuan and the north, this harmless wind made him nervous.
A wave of warmth surged from his tense body.
There are white clouds in the blue sky, and the bright sunshine shines on the lush mountains, making the scenery full of green.
Ma Di stopped his horse on a long hillside and looked around. Under his feet was the dotted and undulating Lingnan karst landform, and before his eyes were thousands of miles of beautiful mountains and rivers.
Axiu followed Ma Su closely, followed by Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu. The three of them stood in a row, each carrying their weapons on their shoulders, looking around and sighing. Compared to Ma Su's high spirits,
Complacently, they seemed to be more interested in the scenery in front of them.
Born in the north and Shu, it was their first time to see the southern scenery that was completely different from the northern style.
"A man's shoulders are not used to carry swords." Ma Di first glanced at the three generals, then glanced at Axiu's graceful figure, and said seriously:
"It's used to carry the legs..."
The three major generals looked at each other, wordlessly took off the weapons from their shoulders, held them in their hands, curled their lips and turned their heads without saying a word.
Axiu also turned her head and looked aside, letting the cool breeze blow her long hair, with a slight blush on her pretty face.
Ma Su laughed: "Yes, it seems everyone understands."
As he spoke, Yang Wanwan appeared from far down the mountain, rode his horse all the way up, and reported to Ma Su: "General, thirty miles ahead is the city of Guiping, the capital of Yulin. The prefect of this county is the nephew of the Luxun clan, and the prefect of Hepu."
Lu Kai's younger brother Lu Yin has more than a thousand soldiers in the city."
Ma Su said "hmm", nodded with satisfaction, and waved: "Very good, get ready to go, and try to reach Guiping before sunset."
Yang Baiwan quickly raised his hand and said: "General, I also found out that there are two groups of mountain bandits nearby. The two leaders are named after the place. One of them is named Zhuya. They are entrenched in the Yushan area forty miles north of the city.
More than three hundred people; another man named Dan'er has a tribe of more than five hundred people, entrenched on the banks of the Guishui River fifty miles east of the city. Two groups of bandits often plunder the place, which makes Lu Yin quite distressed."
"Oh, is there such a thing?!" Ma Su raised his hand, frowned and said in deep thought: "God is really helping me. I was dozing off and sent you a pillow. Everyone, please change direction and go meet these two bandits for a while!"
The four major generals responded in unison with the "order", and just as they were about to turn their horses to leave, they were stopped by Ma Di and ordered:
"You first go to the nearby villages to recruit some followers, make your voice louder and more powerful, and then go to pay homage to the mountain gate, so that they will bow to me when they see me."
Having said this, Ma Su raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a ruffian-like evil smile. Coupled with the long beard that he had grown for more than half a year, his rough appearance made him look more like an outlaw than a general.
At the same time, the excitement in his heart could hardly be suppressed. When he thought about harvesting the first and second troops, his legs involuntarily tightened the stomach of the mount under his crotch.
Ma Su's excitement is not without reason. For a long time, although he has been in the army, fighting in all directions, and advancing and retreating in a controlled manner, he has always had a manic and throbbing gene in his bones. He always wants to ride his horse to conquer the world without observing any laws and regulations.
, leading a group of people to "steal for heaven", drinking the strongest wine, having sex with the most beautiful girls, and having a happy time like that Liangshan hero.
It's a pity that it has never been possible.
This shortcoming has always been lingering in his heart and lingering, which has made Ma Su, who has been in this era for four years, always worried about it.
Being a bandit and being a general are completely different experiences. No matter who has experienced the feeling of being a bandit, they will fall in love with this "zero dollar purchase" profession.
"It's the general." Yang Baiwan accepted the order. Although he didn't quite understand what "forced" meant, it did not affect his next actions.
So he spurred his horse and turned around. Just as he was about to start, he was suddenly stopped again by Ma Di raising his hand.
Ma Su said solemnly: "From now on, you are no longer allowed to call me a general. You must call me an 'outlaw'. My current identity is Shisan, Shiwei's half-brother. I came to Jiaozhou this time."
There are only three purposes.”
"Fair, fair, fair to others!"
"Our slogan is: Overthrow Sun Quan, eliminate the wealthy clans, everyone will have land, everyone will have money!"
"have you understood?"
The four major generals laughed loudly and all raised their hands to accept the order: "I understand, General... Sir!"
The four major troops will rush down the hillside on horseback one after another and scatter in all directions to prepare.
Ma Su got off his horse, took out the tent and propped it up, glanced at Axiu, bent down and got into the tent, patted the thick cushion vigorously, lay down comfortably, crossed his legs and began to meditate.
In fact, Shu Han has always wanted to conquer Jiaozhou.
After the Battle of Chibi in the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was defeated and returned to the north. From then on, he did not dare to go south easily, but instead began to pacify the northwest region. Therefore, both Sun Quan and Liu Bei took the opportunity to expand their territories. Liu Bei occupied Changsha in the south of Jingzhou.
, Guiyang, Lingling, Wuling and other places, while Sun Quan controlled Nanjun and other places.
In terms of land area, Liu Bei occupied more territory than Sun Quan, but in terms of strategic location, Nanjun controlled by Sun Quan's group is more crucial and has a larger population. If Liu Bei wants to further develop, he must control the Nanjun area. From this to
To the north, you can attack Xiangyang, Nanyang and other places, and to the west, you can attack the Xichuan area. In order to obtain the Nanjun area, Liu Bei personally went to Soochow to negotiate with Sun Quan, and married Sun Quan's sister, thus borrowing control of Nanjun.
At the same time that Liu Bei obtained Nanjun, Sun Quan also began to attack the Jiaozhou area.
Liu Bei also had ambitions for Jiaozhou, but his strength at the time could not support his ambitions. At that time, Liu Bei had just controlled the vast area in the central and southern parts of Jingzhou. He had not digested it and was unable to move south to Jiaozhou. Sun Quan was completely different. Sun Quan was spitting out Nanjun.
In the end, it was almost equivalent to nothing, and there was an urgent need to further expand the territory. Cao Cao's control area in the north could not be occupied for the time being, so he could only choose Jiaozhou in the south.
In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Sun Quan appointed Bu Zhi as the governor of Jiaozhou and led an army of 10,000 to attack Cangwu County in the Jiaozhou area. After killing the Cangwu prefect, he established a firm foothold in the northern part of Jiaozhou.
Soon after, Shi Xie surrendered, and Sun Quan nominally controlled the entire Jiaozhou area, but in fact only controlled the four northern counties.
At that time, Liu Bei was invited to Sichuan by the governor Liu Zhang to help resist Zhang Lu's attack in Hanzhong. Liu Bei's attention was attracted by the rich Yizhou, and he temporarily ignored Jiaozhou in the south.
Because Sun Quan did not spend much effort in pacifying Jiaozhou for the first time and only sent 10,000 troops, after occupying Jiaozhou, he only asked the Jiaozhou area to provide a considerable amount of money, food and troops, and did not intend to deeply control Jiaozhou.
After Liu Bei entered the Xichuan area, he quickly broke with Liu Zhang. It took him three years to finally control the Yizhou area, and his family began to gradually become richer.
At this time, the first conflict broke out between Liu Bei and Sun Quan over the ownership of the Jingzhou area. At that time, Sun Quan demanded that Liu Bei return Nanjun and all areas of Jingzhou.
After Liu Bei refused to return it, Sun Quan gathered his troops and launched a surprise attack on Dongsan County, preparing to take over the entire Jingzhou in one go.
After hearing the news, Liu Bei made a special trip from Chengdu to Jingzhou and personally directed the defense battle of Jingzhou. Just when the two families were about to go to war, Cao Cao from the north took action to stop the war.
During this period, Cao Cao pacified Ma Chao, Han Sui, and Song Jian in Liangzhou, marched into Hanzhong, attacked Zhang Lu, and quickly occupied the Hanzhong area. In order to prevent Cao Cao from taking advantage of the trend to attack Xichuan southward, Liu Bei quickly held peace talks with Sun Quan, and Sun Quan had already
The three captured counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling were ceded to Sun Quan. He quickly returned to Xichuan, preparing to resist any war that might break out.
After Sun Quan obtained the land of three counties, his appetite and face were temporarily satisfied, so he chose to send 100,000 troops north to attack the Hefei area controlled by Cao Cao.
However, at the battlefield of Hefei, Sun Quan was severely beaten by Cao Wei general Zhang Liao, ending the Northern Expedition in an anticlimactic manner.
Afterwards, seeing that the Northern Expedition was too difficult, Sun Quan set his sights on Jingzhou and Guan Yu, which were relatively less difficult.
Later, Liu Bei, who was angry about Guan Yu's death and went on an eastern expedition, set his sights on Jingzhou and Jiaozhou and sent people to the two places to instigate rebellion. This was the first time that the Shu Han really launched an offensive against Jiaozhou.
Unfortunately, Liu Bei failed quickly.
After Zhuge Liang took office, the Shu-Wu alliance had not yet reunited, so Zhuge Liang appointed Li Hui as the governor of Jiaozhou and tried to conquer Jiaozhou.
But soon the two families reached an alliance again, and the Shu Han's attack on Jiaozhou was abandoned.
Now, Ma Su had waited for this opportunity, because Shu Han had grown to the point where he could free up his hands to deal with Wu.
To be precise, he could free up his hands to take care of this young boy named Soochow.
While she was deep in thought, Axiu ducked into the tent, snuggled up to her gently, and naturally took off her clothes.
The whole process was extremely natural and tacit.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Ma Su thought deeply about his actions of setting up the tent and patting the mats just now.
