Chapter 308 The Battle of Shu to Destroy Wei (Anju Ping Wu Road)
"That person just now was General Ma Di?"
"It's him!"
"I heard that he was a prolific murderer. Since the Northern Expedition, he has massacred 500,000 people in six years. Is this true?"
"It's true! Don't you feel the murderous aura in the general?"
"No, it's just that when he looked at me, I wanted to pee, but I already peed."
"..." As soon as the guard captain heard this, he immediately pinched his nose and took two steps aside, looking at the soldiers behind him with a look of disgust on his face: "You are so good at this, even one look at you can scare the shit out of you.
"
The soldier was unconvinced and said: "Boss, weren't you trembling with fear just now?"
The captain of the guard glanced at him coldly, waved his hand, and said seriously: "Okay, no one is allowed to mention today's matter again. I will never stop talking to anyone who mentions it!"
"Boss..."
"I told you no one is allowed to mention it again!"
"No, boss, I want to go home and change into a pair of linen pants."
"..."
…
Listening to these discussions from a distance, Ma Di was speechless for a while.
Those two soldiers were right. The murderous aura he had cultivated over the years of leading the army made him so inviolable that even ordinary people would not dare to look directly at him.
No wonder Liu Chan had to kneel down and salute him when he led his officials to greet him. At first he thought it was some villain plotting against him, but now that he thinks about it, it was his own aura that scared Liu Chan.
In order to verify this guess, Ma Su decided to find a time to go to the palace to meet the saint.
The next morning,
Chang'an City is very lively. One of the streets leading from the General's Palace to Weiyang Palace is full of people. Merchants and people are mixed together. The sounds of hawking are heard one after another. As far as you can see, there are people with their children and their children everywhere.
Horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts passed by on the street.
But both traders and ordinary people, after seeing Ma Di's chariot arriving, they shouted to get out of the way. They didn't know Ma Di's identity, but from the equipment and pomp of the soldiers who opened the way, they could tell that he was a Shu Han official.
, the kind that are boundless. Such people are not something they can offend.
Seeing the general's carriage driving slowly through the long street, some curious people couldn't help but make assumptions.
"That person is so grand!"
"Big? There are only a few dozen guards. You have never seen him travel with tens of thousands of soldiers around him."
"Who is he? Why does he look more powerful than the Prime Minister?"
"He is Ma Su."
"Is it the Ma Su who led troops from the Battle of Jieting and rose from a small general to a general in a few years?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Bravo."
"Shh, please keep your voice down. He is a general who is in charge of the world's troops. Killing your whole family is just a matter of words. Moreover, he is not as easy to talk to as the prime minister. He has a bad temper. When he was still a partial general, he already dared to
In the army, the chief secretary Yang Yi was beaten; General Wang Ping accidentally offended him last year, and now he has fled to Jingzhou to make a living."
Through the car window, Ma Su listened to the whispers of the people outside. He opened the car curtain and saw a pair of awed and curious eyes. Everyone stood respectfully on both sides of the road and watched him pass.
The two people whispering were ordinary traders, about twenty years old.
People's words are terrible.
A chill suddenly rose in Ma Su's heart: it had been a few years since he beat Yang Yi, so it was not surprising that it was reported, but it only happened last year that he "cleaned up Wang Ping", and the rumor had actually spread from the army to the market.
And he also said he had a nose and eyes.
If there were no insiders who deliberately spread this, Ma Su would never believe it.
Who is the one?
Ma Di put down the curtain, tapped the wooden window of the carriage with his fingers, and began to think.
The first people to pop up in my mind are: Jiang Wan, Yang Yi, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi.
Jiang Wan and Dong Yun are now auxiliary ministers of the internal government, and they are very proud of themselves. There is no need to spread rumors to offend him, a great general.
Moreover, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun are both quite honest people.
Among the remaining two people, Yang Yi is capable of doing things, but he is narrow-minded and a bit short-sighted. If he dislikes someone, he will definitely not be able to hide it.
As for Fei Yi, he was a man who kept his mood and anger secretive. No one knew what he thought about in his daily life.
Usually such people are not very sunny at heart.
In other words, both of them had motives for taking action. Yang Yi was in a period of frustration, so his motive was slightly greater. Fei Yi had no enmity with him, so his motive was slightly smaller.
Ma Su nodded, knowing something in his mind.
Now he can only wait to meet His Majesty Liu Chan, test his weight in the latter's heart, and then depending on the situation, he should temporarily retire for a while, take a few wives around and enjoy himself.
Ma Su leaned against the back wall of the carriage and followed the swaying carriage to Weiyang Palace.
The transfer of the capital of the Shu Han Dynasty was still proceeding in an orderly manner. Although Liu Chan moved to Chang'an first, it was only people who came, and many things were being transported to Guanzhong.
For example, the tomb of the late emperor Liu Bei.
The late emperor had not started his business half way, but he failed in the middle way... and died. His greatest wish in his life was to conquer the Central Plains in the north and help the Han Dynasty. Now that the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty has been more than half successful, Liu Chan is a filial son, and it is not enough for his family to pay tribute to Naiwen.
Yes, dad’s grave must be moved here too.
Thinking of these miscellaneous things, Ma Di was led by the official attendant to Guangming Hall and met the 27-year-old Liu Chan.
"I see your Majesty." Ma Su bowed and saluted.
The fat Liu Chan hurriedly raised his hand and said: "General, there is no need to be polite, sit down, please sit down!"
Ma Su thanked him, knelt down and sat on the lower left corner, and raised his eyes to look at Liu Chan.
Liu Chan's eyes met his, then quickly looked away, his eyes wandering, and he stammered: "General, why are you here?"
"I want to disband my troops and return to my fields." Ma Di got straight to the point and stated his intention.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chan panicked, "Ah? The world has not been peaceful yet, why did the general abandon me?"
Ma Di stared at Liu Chan, "May I ask your Majesty, I am a general, but I can't lead the troops to fight in all directions. What do I mean by a general?"
"This, this"
"I know that Your Majesty has a kind heart and will definitely not make such a decision before doubting the hero before the world is decided. I wonder who made this suggestion to Your Majesty?"
"Yes, it's the father-in-law"
"Your Majesty, I just went to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday." Ma Su stared at Liu Chan with his energy in his eyes.
Liu Chan couldn't bear Ma Su's pressure and hesitated: "Yes, it is what the ministers have discussed."
"Then who initiated this proposal?"
"Yes, it's Fei Yi."
Ma Su nodded, wrote down Fei Yi's name, stood up and cupped his hands, saying: "Your Majesty, please disarm me."
Liu Chan suddenly became anxious, "This, this, this general should think twice."
At this point, seeing Ma Di glaring at him again, Liu Chan quickly changed his words and said: "Yes, yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
Ma Su put down the seal of the general and walked out of the Guangming Hall with a swagger as if he didn't recognize his relatives. When he went out, he secretly cursed in his heart:
Madhu, since you are all afraid of being like this when I talk and do things well, then I will show you my side!
Not to mention, as soon as this step of disowning one's relatives took place, everyone who saw this scene had an expression that was taken for granted, as if to say: "Yes, yes, this is the arrogance and arrogance that a general should have."
, you used to be so strong that we were afraid. Now we are not afraid anymore.”
Ma Su could see the expressions of these people and almost broke his guard.
The next day, Liu Chan, accompanied by Zhuge Liang, came to the General's Mansion in person. After failing to persuade Ma Su to stay, he immediately issued an order to the ministers: General Ma Su was unwell and was temporarily relieved of his post as general and returned to the fields to recuperate for a period of time.
Ma Su "got his wish" for the third time and became an unofficial nobleman with a marquis.
At the same time, Taiwei Sima Yi, Xia Houba, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei, and Hao Zhao were appointed as generals. They divided their troops into five groups, each with 20,000 troops and horses, and marched towards Xiangyang, Hefei, Yecheng, Hedong, and Changshan.
