Chapter 195: Destroy a thief in one day

The uprising of bandits in Xichong Country was considered as a show of force against Ma Su by the wealthy people of Brazil County.

Since Liu Bei entered Sichuan, there has been basically no turmoil in the area of ​​Sanba. As a result, within a few days of Ma Su's arrival in Brazil County, thousands of bandits suddenly appeared.

Not only that, Xichong State, which was garrisoned by a large number of county soldiers, was also captured by bandits. This would not make sense unless there was something fishy about it.

Obviously, the big families in Shu have begun to threaten him. If they can instigate a bandit rebellion once, they can naturally instigate a second and third one...

If the Shu Han court wants to maintain local stability and maintain taxation and corvee supply to stabilize supply, it must make concessions. Otherwise, if the wealthy families hide behind the scenes and cause trouble, the court will have no choice but to suppress it.

In this way, it is difficult to say when the Northern Expedition will be restarted.

This was considered a counterattack by the local faction. It seemed weak but it still put a lot of pressure on the court.

If it were anyone else, they would have to negotiate with the local faction at this moment. After all, stability always comes first at any time.

Unfortunately, what they met was not anyone but Ma Su!

Ma Su made a decisive decision and suppressed it!

"Xiuren, gather my personal guards, I will only take a hundred cavalry to suppress it!" Ma Di waved his hand and said to Liu Yin very simply.

"You stay and look after the archives room in Langzhong, don't let anyone destroy this...forget it, you come with me!"

Ma Su originally wanted to keep Liu Yin in charge of the archives room, but he changed his mind after thinking about it. After all, he has written down all Zhou's crimes recorded in the archives room, and it doesn't matter whether the rest is destroyed or not.

If it is destroyed, it will be better, and Ma Su will have enough room to play.

So Ma Di directly gathered all 60 elite guards and more than 40 new cavalry who had just been incorporated into the guards. Then Ma Di didn't hesitate at all, and led his troops out of Langzhong in front of Langzhong's order.

Before leaving, Ma Di said with a smile to Zhou Wen, the commander of Langzhong,

"County Magistrate Zhou remembered to prepare dinner for us in the evening, and we came back to eat!"

After saying that, Ma Su rode out and drove away with the song.

Seeing this scene, Langzhong Ling Zhou Wen breathed a sigh of relief and sighed that the trouble was gone. As for the turmoil instigated by Xichong Kingdom, it could not be put down within a month.

At that time, representatives of the local faction would come up to the court and say a few words to give the Jingzhou faction's gang of despicable foreigners a blow, and the matter would basically be over.

As for Ma Su's big words, he didn't take it to heart.

Although the round trip from Xichongguo to Langzhong is short, it still takes an hour or two on a fast horse. Thousands of thieves and bandits are defending the city. How can they be defeated so easily?

Even if there are thousands of sheep, you can't kill them all in one day.

If you, Ma Su, could come back at night, I, Zhou Wen, would eat the official seal on the spot!

Ma Di led his troops to leave Langzhong and followed the smooth road between Sichuan and Shu to attack Xichong Kingdom.

The roads in central Sichuan have always been blocked, making logistics very troublesome. After Zhuge Liang entered Shu, he devoted great efforts to roads.

I won’t list the specific operations. The final result is a significant improvement in Sichuan Plain logistics in the center of Chengdu. The smooth road also gave Ma Su the basic foundation for a surprise attack on Xichong Kingdom.

Ma Di led his troops and set off in the morning. In two hours, Xichong Kingdom was already in sight.

Xichong State is the hometown of Qiao Zhou. The city wall is tall and thick, making it very difficult to conquer. Theoretically, there are hundreds of militiamen in the city, and it is easy to rely on the city to resist them.

I don’t know what happened, but thousands of thieves broke into the city.

"General! We have arrived at Xichong Kingdom! I have already seen the bandits on the top of the city!" Liu Yin's eyesight was better than Ma Su's, and he saw the bandits on top of the city from a distance.

"Very good." Ma Su nodded and directly pulled Liu Yin to the fullest extent.

"You go shout out later and let them think you are the leader!"

"Ah?" Liu Yin was a little confused, but Ma Su insisted on doing this.

There is no way he only has a hundred people in total, so it is definitely impossible to storm the city. But if Ma Su's name was reported to him, this group of thieves would probably be beaten to death and would not dare to come out.

So he could only let Liu Yin go up first, so that the thieves at the top of the city thought they could bully him.

As soon as the city gate opens, everything can be over.

Under Ma Su's instructions, Liu Yin walked at the front and reached the foot of the national city of Xichong County.

"Listen to the thieves in the city! Your rebellion has been known to the court. Now that the court's heavenly army has arrived, quickly open the door and surrender!" Liu Yin shouted towards the top of the city.

Liu Yin's shouting caused a commotion among the bandits on the city, but when they saw the number of people outside the city, they burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... I'm laughing so hard that people are asking us to surrender at this point."

"I feel like we should just go out and kill them."

"Indeed, horses are quite expensive to be honest!"

…………

A group of thieves who had been in Shu for a long time did not pay attention to Ma Di's soldiers and horses at all, and they laughed happily.

But soon they stopped laughing, because their leader Wu Lang came out.

"What's going on? The Han army is besieging the city?" Wu Lang is from Shu County. When Liu Bei went to Shu to gather in the mountains and forests, he had been quietly hanging out in Sanba.

Because he never dared to make a big fuss, and because he was attracted by local wealthy families, he stayed in the Sanba area.

However, just a few days ago, the Brazilian nobles instructed him to send troops to attack Xichong. Wu Lang, who had always been a black glove for the rich clan, came out and took the people lent to him by the Brazilian rich clan to make trouble.

However, Wu Lang had long heard that Ma Di, the famous general in Shu, was in nearby Langzhong and had been without a master. As soon as he heard that the Han army was coming, he quickly came out to check the situation.

"Boss, it's nothing serious, just a hundred or so imperial cavalry coming to make noise." A canal chief reported to him with a smile.

"Who is leading them?"

"It seems to be called Liu Yin."

"Liu Yin? Your surname is not Ma?" Wu Lang felt relieved immediately. After confirming again and again that Ma Su was not here in person, I immediately felt reassured.

"What's the point? Go out, kill them, and grab all the horses and armor!"

With Wu Lang's approval, a group of thieves who had been holding back for a long time roared and rushed outside. In their view, this is a fat sheep coming to their doorstep, and it is time to make a fortune.

There are only 100 people on the opposite side, and there are more than 3,000 people on our side. How can we win on the opposite side?

"General! The thieves have left the city!" Liu Yin saw all the thieves and bandits rushing outside the city and immediately reported to Ma Su.

"Very good! It can be hit!" Ma Di nodded slightly and ordered decisively.

"charge!"

Without any surprise, Ma Su took the lead and charged forward again. The cavalry followed closely behind, and the entire army rushed in like a sharp knife again.

At this time, the thieves were leaving the city in a chaotic manner, without any precautions at all. After all, they had been in Shuzhong for a long time, and they had hardly encountered any elites, and their combat thinking had lagged behind for several generations.

In just a few breaths, more than a hundred of Ma Di's cavalry re-entered the bandits. The thieves blocking the front were like a meat grinder, being smashed into pieces extremely easily!

Again, when the cavalry fights against rogues, it is a one-sided massacre. What's more, this bandit is still crowded in the city gate, putting himself on the plate and handing the knife to you.

There was no suspense, the thieves trampled on each other under the city gate, and countless people died. Ma Di encountered almost no obstacles and rushed directly into the city!
