Chapter 166 Northern Disturbance of Xiangfan

Chapter 166 Northern Disturbance of Xiangfan

Wuling Barbarian King was in a very good mood at this time and even his opinion of Ma Di improved a lot.

The Shu Han side no longer requires them to leave their hometown and go to Shuzhong, but allows them to develop on the spot. At the same time, their tribesmen and horses can be reorganized on the spot, so that they can continue to live in their hometown.

Moreover, the Shu army was prepared to occupy Wuling and would not leave, so they would not have to be bullied by Soochow after the war. By then they will be organized people. Let's see if those Soochow rats still dare to bully their Han Heavenly Army!

Compared with the excitement of Barbarian King Samoqi, Ma Su was not too excited. Wuling is not Nanjun, nor is it his hometown. Staying here can only be said to expand the advantage.

When Jingbei is captured, it will be Ma Di's turn and the Jingzhou faction to be happy.

"Where is the Prime Minister?" Ma Di raised his eyebrows and asked politely.

"The Prime Minister is still chasing the Jiangdong Rats on the front line, but he will be back soon." Samoqi replied, looking very proud of the Shu Han's war situation, as if he was a member of the Shu Han.

"It is said that the peace talks are ready to start. Soochow is willing to give up the imperial title and cede territory. The prime minister has sent people to discuss the matter with Soochow, and it will be over soon."

"Hey, if they hadn't surrendered so quickly, I would have really wanted to go to Jiangdong and kill that coward myself and present it to His Majesty!"

Seeing Shamoqi speaking shamelessly and harshly, Ma Su could only roll his eyes in respect.

You were almost beaten to death by Soochow. If I hadn't defeated Ding Feng, you wouldn't be able to get out of Wuxi now.

However, Ma Su would not say these words. He just echoed a few words and began to think about what to do next.

There is no doubt that conquering Wu this time is the right choice.

Since the Battle of Yiling, Soochow has actually looked down upon the Shu Han to the west.

After all, he first seized Jingzhou, annexed tens of thousands of Shu Han elites, and defeated the Shu army in the Battle of Yiling. No one else would look down upon you, Shu Han.

This is also the reason why Sun Quan had already begun to prepare to proclaim himself emperor without consulting the Shu Han. He couldn't believe that the weak Shu Han would attack him because he gave up the Northern Expedition because he proclaimed himself emperor.

Even though the Shu army had returned from Ziji, Sun Quan still didn't care. Thinking that this is just a replica of the Battle of Yiling, as long as Lu Xun sends troops to resist, everything will be fine.

The result is that as big a face as there are big eyes, from Cangwu to Ruxuwu, everyone knows the name of Sun Quan's coward.

After this battle is over, Soochow will soon be able to understand its position.

Recognizing him as an ally is just to give him face, but it does not mean that Shu Han is afraid of him. Be careful when talking to eldest brother in the future. It is much easier for the Shu army to beat him than to beat Cao Wei.

In fact, Soochow knew that they were afraid. Faced with Deng Zhi's visit, they basically did whatever they said. Even if Deng Zhi pointed at their noses and cursed, a group of Jiangdong nobles did not dare to refute a word.

Zhuge Liang led 50,000 Shu troops to Jiangling City for more than half a month, and finally led his troops to retreat after receiving the news that Soochow had given up.

The two sides reached a consensus on the current war situation, and Sun Quan gave up his imperial title and changed it to Wu Hou, Han Wu Hou. The Shu troops in the counties south of Jingnan were returned to Soochow, but Wuling County west of Gong'an and the passes of the Yangtze River were returned to the Shu Han.

Since then, Soochow and Shu Han have stopped fighting and made peace. Soochow finally ended the war on the eastern front after suffering a big mouth.

However, the war ended on the Soochow side, but it was not over yet on the Shu Han side.

Zhuge Liang led his troops back to Yidao and met Ma Di again.

"Prime Minister!" Ma Di arched his hands and saluted Zhuge Liang in high spirits.

"Fortunately, I lived up to my command. Although I couldn't offer Ding Feng's head, there are Bu Zhao's head here and the traitor Mi Fang..."

"Okay, needless to say, it's enough to come back safely." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, flapped his feather fan twice, and said softly.

At this moment, he looked at Ma Su with more and more satisfaction. His helpless choice back then had led to so many things. This was really destiny.

Ma Di was somewhat touched by Zhuge Liang's concern. This kind of human touch is rare in this era, but he can feel it deeply in Zhuge Liang.

"In addition, you have brought back tens of thousands of troops for the Han Dynasty. This is an unexpected surprise."

However, Zhuge Liang's next words made Ma Su's face suddenly turn bitter and a little painful.

"Prime Minister, at least leave some for me..."

"You have so many cavalry, and the old Jingzhou army also belongs to you. Don't be too greedy." Zhuge Liang shook his head and immediately straightened his face and said.

"Soldiers, horses, generals, and generals belong to the country, and you should understand that."

Ma Su could only accept his fate. These days, Prime Minister Zhuge came out to rob, so there was no way to survive.

"But... maybe you will be a little interested in the task I will give you next." Zhuge Liang suddenly changed the subject and looked at Ma Su with a smile.

"Is it dangerous?"

"It's definitely not simple."

"Okay, Prime Minister, tell me!" Ma Su immediately became energetic and saluted Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and asked his guards to take a map and spread it out, asking Ma Di to look in the direction of Jingbei.

"Now General Zilong and the newly surrendered rear general Zhang He are attacking Xincheng County, but they are stopped by Zhuge Dan. At this time, the puppet Wei has few troops stationed in Xiangfan, so it is a good time to go north to invade."

"Although Sun Quan, our Jiangdong ally, is not the East and West, for the sake of the overall situation, we cannot allow them to be destroyed by the puppet Wei. Therefore, I ordered you to lead your troops north to harass Xiangfan and attract the attention of the puppet Wei to General Zilong."

"If there is an opportunity, you can take advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack and return to your hometown to take a look. If you can't find any opportunity, you can send a message back and I will lead the army there..."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister! Don't worry when I do things!" Ma Di immediately understood Zhuge Liang's next idea and immediately patted his chest and assured.

"I promise to complete the mission and make the puppet Wei think that it won't work if he doesn't come back with help immediately!"

Soochow has been crippled, and at this time Cao Wei has sent all his troops to fight Soochow. Zhuge Liang, who had never had much confidence in Soochow, felt that if they were allowed to fight against the Wei army alone, they would probably be easily defeated.

Therefore, while withdrawing the troops, we made the next step of deployment and went north to attack Xiangfan as a response. As long as the Wei army in the Shouchun area can be contained, it will be enough to prevent Cao Wei from attacking Wu with all his strength.

If you are lucky, you can also coordinate Zhao Yun's front in the new city and give Cao Wei a little shock.

At this time, it had been four months since Zhao Yun and Zhang He led 20,000 troops to attack Shangyong, but the front line had been unable to advance. Zhuge Dan took over Li Fu's military power in Xincheng and intercepted the Shu army.

So Zhuge Liang's idea is very simple. It's time to give his clan brother a little Jingzhou Ma Di shock.
