Chapter 102 Pre-war deployment (please vote for me)
"I have a secret order from the Prime Minister here? Do you have any objections to this?" Ma Di narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
There are more than 20,000 Shu troops in Chencang, and a large part of them are Li Yan's headquarters. These tribesmen from Jiangzhou, whose generals are all Li Yan's close followers, are still very difficult to deal with.
Ma Su needs time now, but what he lacks most is time.
"General Fenwei was still in Chencang more than ten days ago, confronting Li Shijun. In just a few days, he came back from Longyou and got the prime minister's secret order!" Li Cheng looked angry and stared at Ma Su.
"I'm sorry that I am too stupid to understand how the Prime Minister's secret order was sent from Chengdu in such a short period of time."
This is an obvious flaw, and Ma Su is also aware of this, so he has been prepared for it.
"The Prime Minister had already foreseen Li Yan's intention to rebel, and secretly ordered me to kill him first and report later. When I arrived at Longyou, I noticed Li Yan's rebellion, so I rushed back at night."
Ma Su calmly explained that if he didn't explain clearly, the unreasonable generals would always feel guilty in their hearts.
This is related to the nature of the matter, whether it is a factional fight or bringing order to chaos.
"I don't believe it!" Li Cheng didn't buy it at all and directly broke up with Ma Di.
"I have been following Mr. Li for many years. He is not a treasonous person!"
"Heh..." Ma Su shook his head slightly and looked past him towards the other generals.
"Do you have any more questions?"
Li Cheng was ignored and looked very ugly, but he definitely couldn't back down now that the matter had come to this.
If he retreats now, he will definitely be liquidated as Li Yan's confidant. It would be better to take this opportunity to break up with the Jingzhou faction and make the matter bigger.
But before he could speak again, several Shu soldiers had already appeared behind him.
"What?" Li was immediately suppressed and looked at Ma Su in disbelief.
"Openly provocative in the military tent, questioning without reason, you will be killed according to military law!" Ma Di said calmly, waving his hand.
"Detain him now, and then deal with it after I defeat the Wei army!"
Ma Su will not give the clown room to perform. It is the best choice to drive him away before he makes things worse.
Li Cheng was quickly dragged out, and Ma Su's quick handling made Li Yan's old men shrink back in fear. Obviously the other party is not a good person, so it is better for them not to get into trouble.
Li Cheng was dealt with, and the signs of trouble were suppressed, but the matter was not resolved yet. Bai Shou, Zhang Xiu and other veterans all looked at Wang Ping after pondering for a while.
This is the most senior general among them. Let's wait and see what his attitude is.
Most of the generals looked over, and Wang Ping couldn't help but ponder. Now it depends on whether he is willing to believe Ma Di and make his final statement.
"The Prime Minister's secret order is absolutely correct. There is no doubt about it. I will obey the general's order!"
After a brief pause, Wang Ping remembered Jieting Ma Su's inexhaustible strategy and integrity. At this most critical moment, Wang Ping chose to believe Ma Di, stood up and said with his hands in hand.
This sentence represents Wang Ping's position. He supports Ma Di's rise to power. With Wang Ping's statement, other generals also expressed their support for Ma Di.
"I will obey the general's orders!"
"There is no doubt that I will obey the general's orders!"
"I obey the general's orders!"

Wang Ping's support helped Ma Su successfully take power and was recognized by the generals. Of course, even if Wang Ping does not take sides, Ma Su will use thunderous power to force the generals to obey orders.
It's already gone, why bother thinking about factional fighting, it's just that I drank too much.
After gaining power, Ma Di quickly responded and began to deploy a confrontation strategy.
If possible, Ma Su still wanted to give up Chencang and withdraw. It was too painful here in Chencang, and the consumption was not directly proportional to the results.
It's a pity that because Li Yan planned to hold on at first, the Wei army has now crossed Lianshui. If Ma Su withdraws his troops at this time, the Wei army may come forward at any time.
He is not a prime minister, and he is not capable of retreating and turning back to kill the enemy general.
Therefore, if the Shu army does not want to lose now, it must not retreat. On the contrary, with the morale of the army fluctuating, Ma Di had to fight to establish his authority and suppress Li Yan's old troops.
Otherwise, the morale of the army will fluctuate, and the defense may cause some people to surrender to the enemy out of fear of being liquidated.
After all, even if Ma Di is right about the situation and the person, others will not believe him. Therefore, if Ma Su wants to be responsible for guarding Chencang, he must consider this matter.
So, Ma Su thought for a long time and called Wang Ping to discuss countermeasures.
"Zi Jun, thank you for your help, otherwise I would have had to work hard to suppress them." Ma Di said thanks when he saw Wang Pinggong cupping his hands.
"It's nothing. I can trust the general's integrity." Wang Ping shook his head, his face was calm and he didn't say much.
"And since the prime minister chose a general to lead the army, he must have a reason. I am just a general, and all I can do is obey orders."
"In this case, I need Zijun to take charge of important things this time against the Wei army." Ma Su nodded and said again.
"If there is any military order, just tell the general! Ping dare not disobey!" Wang Ping bowed to Ma Su honestly and answered seriously.
"Okay, I hope General Wang Ping will take charge of the 20,000 troops on my behalf!" Ma Su said something surprising, which shocked Wang Ping.
"Most of the 20,000 Han troops are Li Yan's old troops. I haven't found out how many of them are Li Yan's associates. I can't trust them."
"So when fighting against the Wei army, I must personally lead my headquarters in front of the formation to hold down the position."
"In this way, I have to lead the troops in front of the formation and cannot supervise the troops in the rear. So I hope Zijun can take my place and command the central army to face the enemy."
Ma Su is still somewhat self-aware of his own level. It's okay if you don't have enough troops to lead, but you can win by charging headlong on your own.
But when fighting in a large corps, it is easy for him to get out of hand with his unsatisfactory level on paper.
Just like the late emperor, bringing a force of less than 10,000 people was like cheating, but when he brought more troops, he suddenly became confused.
If you are not good enough, you can't show off your strength, you should just be a pioneer general.
What's more, the army is not yet united, and Ma Su must be at the front to hold the battle, so the Chinese army still has to be handed over to someone who can do it.
So according to Ma Su's plan, he would personally lead three thousand cavalry at the front of the three armies. Wang Ping led 20,000 troops to form an infantry phalanx, ready for battle.
The Chencang Road is narrow and the Shu army cannot fully deploy, let alone the Wei army. The battle between the two sides all depends on the performance of the elites and leaders at the front.
If Ma Su still performed stably, then the Wei army would not be able to take advantage in this battle. If Ma Su is lucky enough to die on the battlefield and fails to complete the task of holding the battle, it is possible to use Wang Ping's ability to remain undefeated.
Anyway, it depends on Ma Di's own performance.
Ma Di told Wang Ping the deployment, and Wang Ping couldn't help but fell silent.
With this arrangement again, Ma Di has been leading the charge personally since he was in the street pavilion. Wang Ping still respects such people who work hard and are not afraid of death.
Only this time the enemy general was not Zhang He, but Guo Huai who "made strategic plans and consulted Qin Yong". Will General Ma really not kill himself with this style of play?
"General, as hard as ever..." Wang Ping took a long breath, saluted Ma Di again, and said sincerely.
"Since the general believes in XX's ability, XX does not dare to refuse. If XX fails to complete the task, I am willing to kill myself to apologize!"
Wang Ping took over the task, and Ma Di's deployment was carried out smoothly.
The battle of Chencang is about to begin!
