Chapter 177 Heading East to New Wilderness

Chapter 177 Heading East to New Wilderness

On the south bank of the Han River, Ma Di took more than two thousand soldiers who were still alive to bury the soldiers who died in the battle. Although it was still a great victory this time, Ma Su was still in a very heavy mood.

The loss was too great, too great for Ma Su to accept.

After the first battle, Ma Su calculated that it was basically equivalent to the sum of all his losses from the time he went south to before the war. A large number of elite soldiers died in the battle and horses were lost, which made Ma Di heartbroken.

"In today's battle, all the blame lies with Su! It's me, Ma Su, who felt sorry for these big men and let them die here." Ma Su looked at the tombs that had just been piled up, with a hint of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

If he had just traveled through time, Ma Su would never have been in this mood now. At that time, he had no idea of ​​how to trick the three armies into killing him. He simply wanted to die.

But, these core steps, their names and their ability to hit him are all written down on paper. Many veterans who had been with him for two or three years suddenly died in so many battles. It would be fart if Ma Su didn't feel at all.

"Everyone who died in the battle and their families need to be properly resettled. After the war, someone must be sent to Longyou to take charge of this matter." After thinking for a long time, Ma Su turned to look at the deputy general and ordered him to record the incident.

"Be sure to record clearly when they died in battle, how many gains they made, and their military achievements. After the war, no matter how big or small the military achievements are, a proper explanation must be given to each soldier."

"I don't want the big men to die on the front lines, and the wives and children in the back to starve to death! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The deputy general nodded and responded to Ma Di with his hands in hand.

Regarding the records of military merits achieved by officers and soldiers on the battlefield, Ma Su made repeated orders.

Even if only one person is killed, a total reward must be recorded. Even if he has no military merit but is injured on the battlefield, Ma Di will not treat him badly.

This is also the reason why Ma Su's soldiers dared to fight Ma Su without any psychological pressure. After all, our general is really facing us.

"In the future, there will be more soldiers and horses, and it will be difficult for most of the Shu army officers and soldiers to obtain suitable land. Even if they obtain it, it will be difficult to record and manage it... It seems that we need to go back as soon as possible and find the prime minister to set up a special department to be responsible for the land rewards for the officers and soldiers." ”

While Ma Su paid tribute to the soldiers who died in the battle, he thought about the next step.

To be honest, why does Ma Su still have thoughts of committing suicide and never forget his original intention? Mainly because I was so damn tired that my hair would fall out every time I thought about things seriously.

Especially when I think about how to implement it in the future, it becomes very complicated and complicated. So every time Ma Su wanted to stay, he would seriously think about what would happen next, and then he would become more determined to commit suicide.

This feels like contemporary young people, the daily net Yiyun.

Although sometimes on the battlefield, because my brain gets hot, I don’t want to die. I want to beat you to death first, you are such an irritating thing.

For example, Guanqiu Jian, whom I just met...

Just when Ma Su was thinking about his next plan, the soldiers suddenly found him and presented Ma Su with a letter.

"General, the Prime Minister is here with confidence..."

"Prime Minister?" Ma Su was shocked for a moment, but then he calmed down.

I have been guerrilla here for so long, the Prime Minister is the devil if he doesn't know. The person who will be sent here is most likely not to ask for guilt, but to have some orders.

As for punishment, the prime minister generally used to leave it until after the war.

Ma Di took Zhuge Liang's autographed letter, opened it and read it, and suddenly his face became strange.

There is no other reason, because the prime minister, who has always been extremely stable, suddenly went out of his way this time and gave him an order to attack!

Not only that, the direction of attack is not some leftover material, but Xinye, the seat of Cao Wei's Nanyang County!

It's nothing like Zhuyang over there, which is the core hub of Cao Wei's Nanyang defense line. If he goes there with Ma Su's small force, there is a high probability that he will be eaten directly.

If it were someone else, I would probably have to go back to the Prime Minister and cry out, saying that if the Prime Minister wants to kill me, don't go to such trouble, just chop me off.

However, Ma Su didn't think so, and he immediately felt that the Prime Minister seemed to be holding back his anger. In other words, since he pinned down 30,000 Wei troops in Zhuyang, the prime minister already had new strategic ideas.

Having followed Prime Minister Zhuge for so long, Ma Su knows this Prime Minister very well. Zhuge Liang has always been good at seizing opportunities, and will seize the opportunity with great precision when good opportunities arise.

It's just that I haven't been very lucky, and because my family background is too low, I dare not create opportunities by myself.

But this time, what did the Prime Minister see?

Ma Su was not very clear, but after pondering for a while, he took the order without saying a word. He wanted to believe that it was impossible for the Prime Minister to let him die, and that it would be better to let him die.

If I don't go to such a very high-risk thing, should I let those pillars of the Shu Han go?

Say nothing, get on the ship and set sail!

Ma Su quickly organized his army and set off, gathering more than 2,700 of his remaining troops. Among them were two thousand Jingzhou's old navy and seven hundred Qiang and Di cavalry generals. This was Ma Su's entire family fortune.

Although the losses are not small, overall we can still fight a tough battle.

It was not far from Xinye to Zhuyang, and the road was flat along the way, so Ma Di arrived in less than two days after a quick march.

The Shu army first arrived at Chaoyang, south of Xinye. When the Chaoyang County magistrate saw that the Shu army had arrived, he abandoned the city and fled without saying anything. The Shu army was defeated without a fight and entered the city to rest and recuperate.

And Ma Di's sudden appearance in Xinye shocked the Nanyang Military Region.

In particular, the Jingzhou governor appointed by Cao Wei was working in Xinye at this time. As soon as I heard that he was coming, I was so frightened that my pen dropped to the ground, and the ink soaked into the paper.

Ma Di's reputation has long been notorious among literati. Except for scholars in the Shu Han Dynasty, all literati in other places reviled Ma Di.

Why? Because he surrendered.

The side effects of killing You Chu back then began to show. Although Zhuge Liang helped Ma Di cover it up afterwards, raised it high, and then gently put it down.

But since then, most scholars have looked down upon you, Ma Di.

But no matter how much you look down on him, Ma Su's reputation for being invincible in battle is universally acknowledged. Those scholars who care about their lives basically have a clear attitude after knowing your reputation, Ma Su.

It is definitely impossible for him to surrender to the Shu Han, otherwise he might be invited by Ma Su to treat him that day and say some heart-felt words. But fighting with Ma Su... Ahem, Wei Wei has its own national conditions, how can a talented person be as knowledgeable as you?

Wait here, Ma Su, while we go to Yuzhou to bring in reinforcements!

As a result, while Ma Di was resting in Chaoyang for two days, everyone from the governor to the state pastor of Xinye County abandoned their government affairs and ran away. When Ma Su was almost rested and ready to continue to advance into Xinye, there was only one county magistrate left among the front-line political leaders in Xinye...

When he received the news, Ma Su was a little shocked.

"I'm afraid of death when big things happen. I receive a salary from the court but I don't want to fight for the country. If there are more officials like Cao Wei, how can I be invincible in the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty?" Ma Di twitched the corner of his mouth and said after thinking for a long time.
