Chapter 89 General, what’s on the lieutenant? (Please subscribe!)
Just when Ma Su tried his best to entertain the Qiang King Mo Zhai and wanted to conquer the Eastern Qiang.
Zhuge Liang was standing in the main hall of the Chengdu Imperial Palace with more than a hundred guards, looking at Liu Chan seriously.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang not only knew that he had fallen into Sima Yi's counter-intentional plan, but also roughly knew the ins and outs of the matter.
Previously, Sima Yi was transferred from the Western Front by Wei Emperor Cao Rui because he fell into Ma Su's conspiracy, and was abandoned for a while. It was not until he heard about the Shu army's Northern Expedition that Cao Rui reactivated Sima Yi and appointed him to command the Nanyang troops. Ma Zhiren.
Sima Yi always remembered this secret loss clearly and was always preparing a counterattack.
Soon, the opportunity came.
Gou An, the grain officer of the Shu Movement Army, was beaten by Ma Su with twenty military sticks because he drank while escorting grain and grass. Later, because he failed to frame Ma Su, he had to flee to Chang'an for fear of being prosecuted by Zhuge Liang's military law.
Sima Yi took him in as a trump card, waiting for the opportunity to give Zhuge Liang a heavy blow.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang retreated and advanced again. He sent his troops out of Weixian County, captured Qiaobian, attacked Xixian County, built a siege, captured Wudu, and Yinping, and defeated Zhang He in several battles.
The sharp edge of the army was so sharp that no one could match it for a while.
At this time, Xincheng Mengda jumped back, frightening Sima Yi into a cold sweat. He had to rush to Xincheng with his troops to put out the fire at night.
Before leaving, Sima Yi set up a counter-intuitive plan and wrote a letter, saying that he had made a secret agreement with Zhuge Liang to "not attack each other" and that he would hold his own with his own troops. Then he ordered Gou An to rush to Chengdu and give the letter to Li Yan, who was at odds with Zhuge Liang. He lied to gain the trust of the Wei army.
Gou An followed the plan and handed the letter to Li Yan as soon as he returned to Chengdu. Li Yan handed the letter to his successor Liu Chan, saying that Zhuge Liang had been out for nearly a year and although he had won many battles, he had not gained an inch of territory. Yes, if this continues, it will not only waste national power, but it is also difficult to guarantee that he will not have other intentions, so he should be recalled immediately.
When Liu Chan heard the word "different heart", he immediately panicked and quickly issued an order to summon Zhuge Liang to return to Chengdu.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang had just used a trick to transfer Sima Yi away from the Western Front again. He was about to capture Jianwei and brutally beat Zhang He... Suddenly, he received an edict from the emperor ordering the troops to withdraw.
Zhuge Liang looked up to the sky and sighed. He had no choice but to give up the great opportunity of the third Northern Expedition and withdrew his troops to Hanzhong, and then rushed to Chengdu in the dust.
This time, the Northern Expedition was divided into three parts, from spring to winter, from Longyou to Guanzhong, and back to Longyou. The Wei army was so busy that it was so busy that it killed them in fear.
Chencang killed Cao Zhen in the first battle and destroyed his fifty or sixty thousand troops; on the Longyou front, Ma Su defeated Zhang He seven times in a row and reduced his hundred thousand elite troops to just over ten thousand.
These three dispatches of troops almost crippled Wei's troops on the western front, forcing Wei to be forced to send troops and horses from other places for reinforcements.
Zhuge Liang has even seen the dawn of taking over Longyou. This dawn is even more intense than when he first sent troops to attack the three counties of Longyou.
Such a great situation...
But now he is in Chengdu, not Longyou.
How can this not make people sigh with regret and fill their chests with hatred!
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan with majestic eyes. Although he already knew all the inside stories, he still asked: "I have taken the military capital, Yinping, and annihilated tens of thousands of Wei troops. I am actually in charge of the leader of Longyou, and the five counties are just around the corner." Your Majesty, your great work is about to be accomplished. Why did Your Majesty call your ministers to retreat?"
Liu Chan only looked at Zhuge Liang for a moment, then he lowered his head with a red face, murmured for a long time, and then said slowly: "I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I miss you a lot, so I called you back."
Zhuge Liang had a keen eye, how could he not see through such excuses to fool children? He looked up to the sky and sighed, and said seriously:
"I know that this is not His Majesty's intention. He must have been deceived by the rumors spread by the traitors. Since there are traitors in the court who framed me, how can I lead the army to fight against the thieves with peace of mind?"
Under Zhuge Liang's majestic gaze, Liu Chan couldn't resist and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I mistakenly listened to Gou An's words and recalled my father-in-law. I regret it now."
I'm afraid it's not just about keeping safe.
There should be another Li Yan!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you cannot deceive me...
As a minister, it was natural not to push the king too much. Zhuge Liang secretly recorded Li Yan's account and ordered people to pursue Gou An, but found that Gou An had already fled to Wei.
However, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to stay in Chengdu temporarily to take care of state affairs and prepare food and fodder for another northern expedition.
…
Xixian County, Yongzhou Governor's Mansion, lobby.
The guests and hosts took their seats, exchanged glasses and exchanged greetings.
Ma Su opened the light screen, filled in "Eagle of the Eastern Qiang" behind the name of the moth, and then pointed his eyes at the Qiang girl.
The Qiang girl stood up and saluted Mo Zheshe, and said softly: "Prime Minister Zhuge often admires the king's bravery and loyalty, and wishes he could see him. Why don't the king lead his clan to submit to the court today to repay the Prime Minister's kindness?"
In fact, before coming to Xi County, Mo Zhuzai had already anticipated what would happen, and secretly made up his mind that no matter what Ma Di said, he would never surrender to the Shu Han.
Even if the two families would go to war over this, he would not hesitate!
Whoever dares not to let him become the Qiang King will be eaten by him!
Even when tens of thousands of people lined the street to welcome him, Mo Zhidao's faith remained rock-solid.
That means no drop.
Even if he is beaten to death, he will not surrender!
But at this moment, I suddenly felt that what the great wizard said made sense.
He was speechless for a moment.
The words of the great wizard are like holy words and decrees, which make people convinced, and they can't help but want to do what she says.
The great wizard is the goddess and belief of the Qiang people.
Now that she said so...
So what am I waiting for?
It's too late, and my intention to surrender to the Shu Han seems not sincere enough!
Mo Zhesai suddenly jumped up from his seat, took three steps at a time and came to the Qiang girl. He cupped his hands and said, "Listening to the great wizard's words was like an enlightenment, which made the little king suddenly enlightened."
After saying that, he turned around and paid homage to Ma Su: "I sincerely look towards the Yan Han, and lament that there is no way out and the road is empty. Now that I see the general, I feel like a wanderer returning to his hometown. After a long drought, there is rain. I am willing to bring the entire Dong Qiang people back to the Han.
I hope the general will not give up!"
"General, please accept my respects from the little king!"
"Okay, okay!" Ma Su stood up, quickly held the moth in his hand, and laughed heartily.
Mo Zhuzai immediately issued several orders. First, the five thousand strongest people in the tribe were organized into an army and put under the command of Ma Di. Second, the Dong Qiang tribe immediately accepted the control of officials dispatched by the Shu Han. Third, the tribes should be eliminated and military expenditures should be allocated.
In addition to the grain and grass, he will donate an additional 5,000 stones of grain; fourth, he will take his family and his younger brother Mo Zheji to settle in Chengdu in person to show his sincerity of submission.
Ma Su carried out these four orders with lightning speed, and immediately set off with his personal guard Xu Shen to escort Mo Zheshe and his family into Sichuan.
At the same time, in the "System Mall", the grain selling icon has also reached 29/29 and has been cooled down.
It seems that the 5,000 stone grain donated by Mo Zhezai is the batch I purchased. Ma Su nodded secretly.
Speaking of online shopping, the system is not deceiving me. It says 29 days is 29 days, neither early nor late.
Everything came to an end and peace returned to Xi County.
Five thousand elite Qiang soldiers, together with the Wudang Feijun, came every day to receive re-education from "Little General Zhao Yun".
After finally having some time off, Ma Su was just about to find a Qiang girl to develop a relationship, when he was blocked in the room by three generals.
Huang Xi and Zhang Xiu took the lead and said, "The two of us have successfully completed the mission assigned by the general. We are here to return the mission."
Is this a reward coming?
Ma Su smiled slightly and waved his hand boldly: "You have done a good job, I am very satisfied. Now I am promoting you two to senior generals. They are at the same level as Li Sheng and are not subordinate to each other. Are you two satisfied?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, thank you General!"
Huang Xi and Zhang Xiu repeatedly handed over their hands and glanced at Li Sheng proudly.
Brother, we are also high-level generals. We are on the same level again!
Li Sheng curled up his lips, cupped his hands to Ma Su and said, "General, by inviting King Qiang, I will be able to live up to my mission."
"Not bad, not bad!" Ma Di looked at Li Sheng approvingly and said in a deep voice: "I am now making you a bronze deputy general. Your position is one level higher than that of a senior general. Are you satisfied?"
what?
Bronze lieutenant?
Li Sheng was suddenly confused: "General, is this bronze deputy general a deputy general?"
"yes!"
"Do you have the right to command the army?"
"Of course not, because you are not the official deputy general yet."
"Oh, what's on the bronze lieutenant?"
"Silver Lieutenant General, Gold Lieutenant General, Platinum Lieutenant General, Diamond Lieutenant General, Master Lieutenant General, King Lieutenant General, Half-Step Peak Lieutenant General, Associate Lieutenant General, Official Lieutenant General..."
Before he finished listening, Li Sheng foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.
It’s too confusing.
General, you are so stupid!
I, Li Sheng, wasted my time as a lieutenant general!
