Chapter 87: Thinking back to the time when the young general lived among thousands of flowers
[This experience rating: B+ (You could have been A, but because you underestimated the fickleness of King Qiang and did not take precautions in advance, the entourage almost died. In addition, you relied too much on the locals during this clearance process.
Rewards received are halved (soundness points -5000).】
[Congratulations: You have won the title of "Melon-eating People" in this experience. This title can be used to draw a big wheel for free. ]
【You currently have a chance to avoid drawing, do you want to draw?】
"No smoking, no smoking!"
Ma Su rejected the system without thinking.
It’s better to save enough for three chances and then draw more insurance together.
[Warm reminder: You currently have a large number of stability points: 5199. Do you want to start a blood-curdling ten consecutive draws? 】
"No, no!" Ma Su shook his head and refused, inexplicably remembering the experience of his previous life.
Every time he deposited a large amount of money in the bank in his previous life, various enthusiastic "account managers" would immediately call to sell funds, insurance, etc. Once he withdrew or spent the money, these people suddenly
It disappeared without a trace.
Just very quickly.
The current behavior of the system is very similar to the "account managers" at that time.
The privacy of my personal property... was all shredded by prying eyes... Ma Di sighed secretly, quickly turned off the screen, and forcibly terminated the system's promotion.
Then they went to invite Zhao Yun and three major generals to discuss the matter of recovering the Eastern Qiang.
As the governor of Zhun Yongzhou and the general of Zhun Zhenbei, he has the right to make decisions on foreign affairs, especially Qiang-related matters. Whether it is war or peace, it all depends on his whim.
The reason why he was so eager to conquer the Xiqiang was not because of anything else, but because more than half a year after the Three Kingdoms era, Ma Su discovered an extremely serious matter.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu were all busy with the struggle for orthodoxy and the struggle for the Central Plains, and had no interest in the six major foreign tribes of the "Qiang Barbarians, Yue Xiong, and Wubei" who were still scattered around.
This is truly dancing on the edge of a knife.
Not to mention that the three countries have been fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and their vitality has been severely damaged. Just think about the six major peripheral tribes that are developing peacefully and quietly increasing their strength...
It makes my scalp numb.
It's like you're fighting to the death with your opponent online, without taking any last hits or gaining experience. But it's not surprising that someone has been quietly growing in the jungle for 10,000 years, has a full-level + six-god outfit, and then kills a kid with a single blow.
The most terrible thing is that at the consciousness level, the top leaders of the three countries all have a non-intrusive attitude towards the surrounding Qiang, Hu and Yue forces. As long as these foreigners do not cause trouble or violate the border, the three countries will never
Take the initiative.
How does this work?
This is a world where the strong are respected!
Don't crush others when you are strong. Others will not be so kind when you are weak.
This is one of the three main reasons why Ma Su has always had a strong interest in the numerous Qiang tribes around him.
Therefore, compared to the Northern Expedition, Ma Su preferred the Western Expedition, and used this to expand his territory, population, and accumulate strong and undefeated capital.
By then, wouldn't it be just a joke for the Shu Han to dominate the world?
The reason why Qin was able to overthrow the other six kingdoms was because of the strong foundation accumulated by the survivors of the Sixth Dynasty.
When arranging flowers, you still need to be strong.
While he was deep in thought, he saw that everyone was arriving one after another, and the Qiang girls were also standing in the listening position. Ma Di revealed his plan.
Conquer the Eastern Qiang.
Zhao Yun was startled when he heard this: "Youchang, we are ordered to guard Xixian County and guard against Wei State, how can we do anything lightly?"
"Besides, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in Xi County, which is not enough to defend ourselves. How can we divide our troops to conquer the Eastern Qiang?"
In Zhao Yun's understanding, subduing a Qiang tribe cannot be accomplished without force.
But Xi County's military strength is stretched thin and does not meet this condition.
Not to mention five thousand troops, even if there are another five thousand, it will not be easy to conquer the Dong Qiang.
You know, everyone in the Qiang people is a soldier, and any tribe can gather one or two thousand capable warriors.
What's more, Zhang He is still watching from the north.
How could he sit back and watch the Shu Han grow stronger?
"Don't worry, General Zhao, I have a clever plan of my own!" Ma Su nodded. This was another reason why he wanted to attack Xiqiang, so as to gain free military strength.
I recall how high-spirited I was when I led the army to Jieting for the first time, and commanded more than 20,000 people. Later, during the Battle of Xiabian, it became 10,000 people, and they were submissive. Now I am defending Xi County, and I have only 10,000 people left in my hand.
Five thousand people don't dare to speak in a high tone.
Ma Su smiled slightly, looked around the three generals, and said confidently: "I would like to ask the Qiang King Mo Zhezhai to go to Chengdu with me to meet His Majesty and the Prime Minister. I wonder who is willing to go to Eastern Qiang as an envoy?"
"This..." Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu looked at each other and hesitated for a while.
The Qiang people are savage and have little courtesy. They are also particularly xenophobic and will kill anyone if they disagree with them.
The risk factor of this trip is a bit high.
They don't want to go.
Ma Di continued: "No matter who goes, if the matter is successful, the official will be promoted to a higher level!"
Hearing this, Li Sheng's eyes lit up and he said: "General, I would like to ask, is there a deputy general above the senior general?"
He had to figure this out.
Originally, according to the military system of the Shu army, the deputy general was placed above the general. However, Ma Su did not follow the routine and created two positions between the partial general and the deputy general.
To be honest, Li Sheng has already fulfilled the official position of general. Previously, he had been from ordinary general to third general to senior general...
No one would have thought that he had been promoted to the position of partial general by two levels in a row... He is still a partial general to this day.
Who would believe this shit?
He wants to be a lieutenant general, he just wants to be a lieutenant general!
As long as he can serve as a deputy general, even if his life is in danger, Li Sheng will take this job!
Ma Su nodded: "That's right, the deputy general is above the senior general."
Li Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately patted his chest and said, "General, I would like to go..."
"General, I am also willing to go!"
"General, so do I!"
Huang Xi and Zhang Xiu followed Li Sheng to express their stance.
The two of them were already one level shorter than Li Sheng, and they were depressed by being yelled at by Li Sheng all day long. If Li Sheng was promoted to deputy general because of this, then in the future...
What a nightmare!
"Since all three of them want to go, to be fair, the only choice is to draw lots." Ma Su quickly found three rope ends of different lengths, gathered the tails in his sleeves, and held the rope ends in his hand.
Then he handed it out and said with a smile: "The one who wins the longest will go, who comes first?"
The three major generals looked at me and I looked at you, but they refused to smoke first.
Although they don't know much about literacy, they are still very good at gambling. They know that the person who draws first has only a one-third chance of winning the longest rope, the person who draws second has a half chance, and the person who draws last has a one-half chance.
For humans, it’s one-third.
So, theoretically speaking, being ranked second is the perfect position.
They are all old gamblers. Ma Su looked at Li Sheng and said in a deep voice: "You have the highest official position, so you come first."
"..."
General, I don't want to smoke first... Li Sheng hesitated for a while and refused to step forward.
Zhao Yun stroked his beard and looked at the three generals with a smile who did not want to be the first to draw lots because they were vying to send envoys to Dong Qiang. His evaluation of Ma Di rose to a new level in his heart.
This mission went from being ignored to becoming a popular one, just because of Ma Su's words.
It can be seen from this that You Chang is very capable in terms of uniting the army to fight and arranging personnel...
There is a successor to the Prime Minister.
Thinking about this, Zhao Yun glanced at the Qiang girl again imperceptibly.
Well, young Chang is not very good at relationships.
I think back to those days, when I was young, there were so many beautiful and respectable women vying to throw themselves into my arms.
Now that I think about it, although I regret missing a lot of flower arrangements, if I hadn’t grabbed my waistband tightly enough...
The grass on the grave must have been several feet tall.
