Chapter 96 Li Yan wants to rebel
Ji County, Tianshui County was formerly the administrative seat, and it is the largest city in Longyou. It is located on a major transportation thoroughfare and has very smooth water and land routes.
However, since Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and the removal of the five counties of Longyou, the government was moved to Xi County in order to ensure that the road out of Sichuan was not blocked. The entire government office is backed by Qishan Mountain, which firmly protects Qishan Road.
During the few months Zhuge Liang was in charge, the Shu army built several official roads in Xi County to maintain smooth traffic there.
But because of this, Zhuge Liang has great influence in Xixian. With Li Yan's courage, he most likely wouldn't dare to hide the grain here.
The area north of Ji County is no longer the boundary of Tianshui County, and there is nowhere to hide. Therefore, if Li Yan went to the county to hide grain and fodder, the former government office in Ji County would be the best choice.
Ma Su did not immediately alert the enemy, but continued to patrol westward. The answers given by the county magistrates in each county were all pointing north, pointing to Ji County.
Now it was truly confirmed that Li Yan was hiding in Ji County.
"Shu Ji, Meng Guo, gather everyone together and get ready to fight." Ma Di turned his head to look at Shu Ji and Meng Guo and ordered with a serious expression.
"Since Li Yan dares to hide in Ji County, it is estimated that the soldiers and nobles stationed in the county have been captured by him. In order to prevent them from biting back, we must use thunderous means to deal with it!"
"Wei!" Shu Ji replied without hesitation.
He is now Ma Su's headquarters, and his current situation depends entirely on Ma Su's support. Therefore, he must support Ma Di unconditionally at all times. Even if Ma Di asks him to kill Li Yan, he has to ask whether he should behead him or cut him into pieces.
Meng Guo didn't have much objection. He came on Zhuge Liang's order, and he wasn't afraid of being involved.
Five thousand soldiers followed Ma Su and quickly rushed north, arriving at the foot of Ji County in just one day.
Ji County is located on the south bank of the Weishui River and in the center of the Longyou Plain.
When Ma Su arrived, it was almost dusk and the door was about to close. When they saw a Shu army arriving, the soldiers at the top of the city felt confused.
"Has Commander Li returned victoriously?" The defense officer scratched his head, feeling a little confused. Logically speaking, Li Yan brought most of his troops to fight, so no one should come.
Could it be that reinforcements from other counties were on their way to Chencang, so they stopped by to rest?
In confusion, the garrison did not close the door, but asked Ma Di to lead the troops into the city.
"Whose tribe are you?" After the general at the top of the city released Ma Di into the city, he walked down the top of the city and asked Ma Di.
"I am Ma Su, and I came to Ji County for one thing only." Ma Su glanced at him and said lightly.
Ma Su?
The officer's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly felt pressure rising.
This general is Li Yan's confidant and was brought out by Li Yan from Jiangzhou. He knew Ma Su's identity very well, and he had long known that Ma Su and Li Yan would not deal with each other.
This time, they suddenly brought so many people to Hebei County with such a strong momentum. I am afraid that the people who came here are not good-natured.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ma Fu. I was blind and failed to recognize you." Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao suppressed the nervousness in his heart and said calmly.
"Are you planning to go to the city to rest? Will I make arrangements for you right now?"
"No need to talk to me about anything else. You are Li Yan's confidant. You should know Li Yan's dirty things." Ma Su basically understood when he saw the change in the expression of this general that he was Li Yan's confidant.
Otherwise, when you hear your name, you won't be the first to get nervous.
"Where are the grains and other things that Li Yan lost in Tan Mo? I brought troops here just to track down this matter. If you tell me, you can leave."
"General Ma, what do you want to say?" the general asked inexplicably, looking puzzled.
But before he finished speaking, Ma Di's sword was already on his neck.
"For me, unless killing the other party affects national affairs, I will not show mercy." Ma Di looked at the general with an expressionless face and said calmly.
"Obviously, neither you nor Li Yan's warehouse officer belongs to this category. If you don't tell the truth, I don't mind sending you down to see Wu Lue."
"As for where Li Yan hid the things... I think you are not the only one in the whole Hebei County who knows, right?"
Ma Su said with a calm face, and his tone seemed to kill him like squeezing an ant to death.
For Ma Su, he didn't really want to kill irrelevant people. But there are always some people who don't understand the situation and are stubborn.
Seeing Ma Su's cold gaze, the general felt his scalp numb.
The other party is serious!
"General Fenwei, people from Xiajiangzhou!"
"Li Yan's warehouse official Wu Lue is from Xiangyang." Ma Di sneered and said casually.
"He was also killed because he didn't want to confess and was given leniency. What do you think?"
Jiangzhou people mean that I am a confidant brought out by Li Yan. If you kill me, it is equivalent to offending Li Yan. But for Ma Su, let alone offending Li Yan, if I wasn't worried about affecting the frontline battle situation, I would kill Li Yan!
Hearing Ma Su's words, the general was shocked. He suddenly thought of something and asked cautiously.
"Is this what the Prime Minister meant?"
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Ma Su was stunned for a moment, then answered calmly.
Ma Su's words made the general immediately understand that this was what Prime Minister Zhuge meant. The Prime Minister who is far away in Chengdu has noticed something and is here to investigate!
If it was just Ma Su who came, it would probably be a factional dispute. It would be better if he refused to admit it. Anyway, he couldn't do anything to Li Yan. As long as Li Yan is fine, they will not be affected much if they die.
But if this was what the Prime Minister meant, it would be obvious that Li Yan was doomed.
As Li Yan's confidant, he still understood the prime minister's character. When he wants to do something to you, he must have arranged everything and will never give you a chance to resist.
After taking a look at the murderous soldiers behind Ma Su, he understood that even if he jumped over the wall in a hurry, it would be meaningless. Li Yan took all his capable soldiers to Chencang to seize the battle merits, and did not leave any elite soldiers behind to cover up the evidence of his crime.
Comparing the military strength of his own Bu Qu and Ma Su's, this general will know what he should do!
"Master Fu, please spare your life!! It's all Li Yan who forced us!" The general knelt down and begged for mercy without saying a word.
"We didn't want to rebel! It was Li Yan who forced us! We were all coerced!"
This sentence stunned Ma Su, and his CPU almost burned out.
Li Yan wants to rebel? When did this happen? Who is he going to rebel against?
Seeing that Ma Su didn't speak, but just stared at him, the school's heart dropped. I'm afraid that the other party doesn't believe my words and is going to arrest me too!
"What I said is true! I am willing to expose all the evidence of Li Yan's crimes!"
Go to TM's rich and powerful insurance company to seek help. The people who came to seize evidence of crimes have all arrived at the door, and Li Yan hasn't reacted at all. From this point we can see the gap between Li Yan and the Prime Minister.
It’s better to plead guilty and expose it as soon as possible, and make meritorious deeds!
