Chapter 120 Wei Yan: Fellow fellow, why are you still grabbing my flag?

After sending the letter back to Chengdu and asking the Prime Minister for orders to return to Chengdu, Ma Di also started preparations.

The biggest problem for the Shu army in conquering Wu was the navy. The Hanshui Marine Corps that Guan Er Ye organized was originally ridiculously strong, but after Lu Meng's sneak attack on Jiangling, they all became Sun Quan's.

Of course, Sun Quan did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Such a powerful navy can be a defensive force in his hands. Since joining Soochow, there has been no record.

These are the elites who used to have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to suppress hundreds of thousands of enemies on the opposite side.

Without Er Ye's navy, the navy in Shu could only defend, but did not have the ability to attack.

As a result, it became very difficult for many Shu troops to fight across the water. Especially the cavalry, although they can crush the Wu army, they can only watch with open eyes as long as they can't cross the river.

So Ma Di began to target the shortcomings of Longyou's soldiers who did not know the nature of water, and began to train near the Yellow River. At least make sure that when you sneak across the river, you won't fall off and drown due to a bump in the boat.

Only in this way can we have enough room to change our moves and have more choices to make in the battle against Wu.

Ma Su personally brought more than a thousand cavalry to Anding County, and stationed himself on the banks of the Yellow River. Basically every day, I was trained under Ma Su's personal supervision to cross the river, as well as how to steer and maintain stability on the boat.

Although he consumed a lot more food and grass, Ma Su could only do this.

At least the exercises consume less than actual combat.

However, Ma Di's action startled Sima Yi on the other side of the river.

The boundary between Liangzhou and Longyou is the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, it is the Hexi Corridor.

Sima Yi has been on tenterhooks ever since he was thrown into this enclave by Cao Zhen, organizing production and farming while guarding against the Shu army. Now I suddenly saw Ma Su, a famous general in Shu, leading his troops to train at the junction, and he immediately lost his composure.

Doesn't this man also want to come to Liangzhou to play grassland?

This idea made Sima Yi very nervous, and he immediately dispatched thousands of elite troops to camp on the other side of the river. At the same time, he also put his son Sima Shi in charge of the military affairs of Jincheng County to guard against sneak attacks by the Shu army.

Seeing the reaction of the Wei army on the other side of the river, most of the Shu soldiers were very proud.

Look, this is General Ma. Just by standing by the river, the other side was so frightened that troops were sent to guard it, just like a mouse seeing a cat.

Our General Ma is really good!

However, Ma Su didn't pay much attention to it, but often peeked at the Wei army's camp during training.

Sima Yi, this old thief in the post-Three Kingdoms era was basically on the same level as the prime minister. In the end, after the death of the prime minister, he took the opportunity to usurp the power of Wei and let the Sima family reap the final fruits.

This guy is a serious enemy, it’s time to get to know him sooner.

Ma Su had been training by the river for more than half a month. Wei Yan also came, intending to see what Ma Su was doing.

"You Chang, what are you doing? Are you practicing how to sneak across the Yellow River?"

Wei Yan felt a little strange watching Ma Di's troops riding a ship and training forward and backward in the Yellow River.

For such a narrow river, there are not many crossings. Do you need to practice?

"Chang Wen, some things need to be prepared in advance. It will be too late to practice them when you need them."

Ma Su didn't plan to tell Wei Yan that he planned to conquer Wu. After all, there was no evidence now. So he just acted as a riddle man, putting on a sophisticated attitude and letting Wei Yan guess.

"Huh? So it's a big deal?" Wei Yan was startled and asked quickly.

"I just want to say that everyone who understands understands, and I won't explain too much to those who don't understand. After all, it's good for you to know, and take a closer look. Don't ask me what's wrong. The interests are too involved, and I won't be right if you say it." The good thing is, just pretend you don't know. For the rest, I can only say that the water here is very deep and involves a lot of things." Ma Di waved his hand and poured out a series of famous aphorisms, which almost stunned Wei Yan.

Again, it’s so annoying for readers who can’t understand or understand the words!

But just when Wei Yan was about to leave, he suddenly saw his own bodyguard running over in a hurry and reporting to Wei Yan.

"General, it's bad, our flag has been stolen!"

"What!" Wei Yan was shocked and then became furious.

"Where did the puppet army come from? How dare they steal my handsome flag!"

"Wherever they go, follow me!"

The flag is related to the general's reputation and is the most important thing in the army. Wei Yan has been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and he has always been the only one to rob others. When did someone come to rob him?

It is unbearable!

"Uh... it wasn't the Wei army that robbed it, but the Han army soldiers next door..." The guard scratched his head and answered with confusion and helplessness on his face.

"And they all seem to be part of General Ma. They come in and grab the commander's flag whenever they disagree."

"We didn't know what was going on, but they snatched the flag and ran away."

Wei Yan's soldiers wanted to stop them, but seeing that they were also Han soldiers on the other side, and they didn't care about anything but the flag, Wei Yan's troops didn't know what to do.

You can't take action against your own troops, right?

"What?" Wei Yan's mind suddenly fell into standby.

what's the situation?

Why are Ma Di's troops trying to steal Wei Yan's handsome flag?

Can you still take my handsome flag to the Prime Minister to ask for a reward?

Ma Su was also confused when he heard this. He did not order anyone to seize Wei Yan's flag.

But soon, Ma Su understood what was going on, because the soldiers who grabbed the commander's flag came to him to ask for a reward.

"General! While we were resting, we discovered that there was a flag of the puppet Wei standing nearby. So I and more than a hundred people attacked desperately and snatched back the flag of the puppet Wei, and I came here to present it to the general!"

More than a hundred happy and elated Qiang and Di soldiers came to Ma Su with a big flag to ask for a reward.

If you look closely, you will see that the big flag has the characters "Zhenbei General Wei" written on it.

"Don't you see what's written here?" Ma Di didn't know what to say as he looked at the beams of dozens of soldiers below. It took me a long time to point to the big flag and ask,

"There seems to be more than one word on it, right?"

"Except for Wei, I don't know any other characters." The soldier below answered honestly.

"The general said before that the flag with the word Wei printed on it is the false flag of Wei."

Ma Su: "..."

Wei Yan: "..."

Ma Su never thought that if he taught these soldiers to read, the first thing they would grab would be his own flag.

Good news: Subjective initiative is quite strong.

Bad news: A little too strong.

"Chang Wen, this is all a misunderstanding." Ma Di could only put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly.

"The big group of soldiers under me are illiterate, so they just know a Wei and snatched it back."

"I will definitely teach them a few more words later."

"It's best like this." Wei Yan was also speechless, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be angry or not.

I can only say that I feel aggrieved. I didn’t expect that for the first time in my life, I lost my flag and it was snatched away by my own colleagues’ soldiers.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan could only shake his head, said goodbye to Ma Su and turned around to leave.

Hurry and move away, otherwise Ma Su's soldiers will even snatch away his flag.

Give some candy to my half-brother Yinlou, he is on the shelves today!
