Chapter 63 Shuhan Demolition Team
"Is there such a good thing? Please tell me what it is?"
Ma Su was very pleasantly surprised. He did not expect that Zhuge Liang not only remembered him, but was also prepared to give him a dangerous task.
These days, all the bandits and bandits in Longxi are fleeing, and Ma Su is almost out of battle. At this time, there was a sudden military order, and someone would give me a pillow whenever I fell asleep.
The more dangerous the better, let me, Ma Su, take the risk on behalf of the Shu Han talents!
"The Prime Minister didn't say anything, but he asked the prefect to take at least 3,000 troops to Xi County. The Prime Minister will personally arrange the task for you." The messenger replied.
"Bringing your own song?" Ma Su raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything, but he was obviously a little disappointed.
He brought his own team and only brought 3,000 people with him, which obviously meant that he didn’t need many people for this job. If there was any large-scale military operation, Zhuge Liang would not let him bring his own troops.
But think about it, the biggest task of Shu Han now is to digest Longyou, and the Northern Expedition will not continue in the short term.
"As ordered, I will take my headquarters to Xi County, but I am leaving Longxi County..." Ma Su accepted the order, but suddenly asked.
He is not worried that Longxi County will be in chaos if he leaves, but if the Prime Minister sends someone to take charge of Longxi affairs, then the reform and construction of land equalization that is gaining momentum will go awry.
"The prince is still the governor of Longxi, and during the expedition, the county magistrate Li Mu will act as the governor." The messenger repeated Zhuge Liang's meaning exactly, and Ma Di was relieved.
"That's okay! I'll leave tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, Ma Su began to hand over tasks to Li Mu and prepared to lead the troops to the expedition. However, when Li Mu took over, he looked at Ma Su with sadness in his eyes, which made Ma Su feel scared.
Isn't it just a matter of letting Hua Fei drug pour on him a few times? It shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Ming Gong, you must put your own safety first during this expedition! You are the one who can stabilize the country, you cannot die on the battlefield!" As he spoke, Li Mu burst into tears.
"Don't worry, Ziwen, I, Ma Su, am still alive." Ma Su could only say helplessly.
After finally getting rid of Li Mu, Ma Su took three thousand Qiang and Hu tribes and two thousand Wudang flying troops to Xi County to meet Zhuge Liang.
During this period, Hua Fei planned to follow him, but Ma Di resolutely refused. The reason was that Longxi County was in dire need and needed a doctor.
After leaving Longxi County, Ma Su arrived in Xi County within a few days. Since the prime minister has been stationed here for a long time, it has become the center of the five counties of Longyou.
Twenty thousand Shu troops were still stationed here, but when Ma Di arrived, he found that many Shu troops had already begun to pack their bags.
"Is the Prime Minister planning to return to Shu?" Ma Di was a little surprised, but he didn't stay too long and immediately entered Xi County to meet Zhuge Liang.
"Ma Su, the governor of Longxi, comes to see the prime minister!" Ma Su immediately saluted Zhuge Liang and greeted him respectfully after entering the room.
"You Chang, there has been a lot of action in Longxi County these days. What are you planning to do?" Zhuge Liang raised his head and glanced at Ma Su with a half-smile.
"I feel fine, but my movements are still a little slow." Ma Su replied carelessly without being shy.
"If a certain move were made faster, I'm afraid even the Qiang people wouldn't be able to enter the city."
"Stop talking nonsense, if you dare to disobey military orders in this next mission, even His Majesty will not be able to protect you." Zhuge Liang snorted coldly, pointed at Ma Su and said calmly.
However, Zhuge Liang felt a little weird when he saw Ma Su's eyes suddenly light up.
What the hell is this kid planning?
"It's almost the end of the year. In another half month, I will lead my troops back south and return to Chengdu to report my work to His Majesty." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said softly.
"At that time, someone will succeed me as the governor of Yongzhou and the governor of the five counties of Longxi. During this period, you don't need to care about anything else, just complete your task with peace of mind."
"Yes!" Ma Su accepted the order, but felt a little confused.
Why does he have to lead troops to fight as soon as the replacement comes and doesn't need to worry about anything else?
Could it be that there is something wrong with this person? The Prime Minister is afraid that I will fight with him?
Probably not. What I, Ma Su, are best at is making friends.
"Okay, less guessing and more work." Zhuge Liang waved his hand and pointed at the map and said calmly.
"Have you seen Chencang City? That city is located outside Longdao and guards the throat of Guanzhong."
"A month ago, the puppet Wei Dynasty sent General Cao Zhen to supervise the military affairs in Guanzhong and be fully responsible for all affairs in Guanzhong. This man immediately sent people to repair Chencang City and sent Hao Zhaoquan from Taiyuan to guard the place."
"If the Wei army succeeds, we will not be able to advance eastward in the next few years, and we will be suffocated to death in Longyou.
"So I ordered you to lead Qudong out of Longdao and rely on the area around Lueyang Street Pavilion to harass the puppet Wei. Instead of killing the enemy, try to interfere with or destroy Chencang City so that the Wei army can't repair Chencang."
"As long as Chencang cannot be stabilized, the Wei army will not dare to use troops at will!"
After listening to Zhuge Liang's instructions, Ma Su suddenly understood.
"The Prime Minister intends for me to follow the example of General Guan in the past and do what he did to end the North Road?"
Harassing guerrillas is a traditional art of the Shu Han regime. Back then, Guan Yu relied on Jiangling to seize the North Road, forcing Cao Ren to abandon Jiangling, and thus trained the only Marine Corps in the world.
What a pity, they are all buried in Jiangling...
This time Zhuge Liang gave him a similar task, which was to conduct a guerrilla attack on Chencang. Harass the Wei army to repair the city, cut off the Wei army's food routes, and if necessary, transform into a demolition team to demolish some illegal buildings in Chencang.
In short, as long as the Wei army is not allowed to set up a city defense in Chencang, you, Ma Di, can do whatever you want.
This is equivalent to a decentralization of military power, giving the freedom of action to Ma Di himself. This is a great opportunity for Ma Su. Our prime minister is really a real person.
"Prime Minister, a certain position is no more than a governor of Longxi..." However, Ma Su thought of a problem. He was no longer joining the army, but a county governor. Without military rank, it is not in compliance with the regulations to perform this task.
"I have already written to Your Majesty, declaring you to be General Fenwei. Your appointment will be here soon." Zhuge Liang nodded and quickly added.
"Although this time I will let you take full responsibility for the attack on Chencang, I still need to send you a deputy general. Meng Guo will be the deputy general and will lead the Wudang Fei army to jointly attack with you."
"Don't mess with me again. Your actions this time are related to the fate of the Han Dynasty."
"Prime Minister, don't worry, I, Ma Youchang, will never do anything that will harm the three armies this time." Ma Su assured, patting his chest.
"I am willing to issue a military order..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get back to work!" Zhuge Liang lowered his head again and continued to deal with government affairs.
"By the way, Prime Minister, is Zhang He still there?" Before leaving, Ma Di suddenly thought of Lao Zhang in prison, turned around and asked.
"He's dead. He committed suicide in the dungeon. I've sent someone to bury him."

Just when Ma Su took orders in Xi County and was preparing to lead his troops out of Longdao to serve as the demolition team, the Wei army in Chencang City was working in full swing.
Five thousand elite Wei troops, led by Hao Zhao, successfully entered Chencang City. As soon as he arrived here, Hao Zhao discovered a problem here.
Although Chencang City is not big and has thick walls, it has not been repaired for a long time and the city is quite old.
If the Shu army attacks, he may not be completely sure of blocking it.
Therefore, as soon as Hao Zhao arrived here, he immediately carried out vigorous repair work.
