Chapter 231 Attack on Chang'an
"General Fu Guo, you must calm down! If this continues, it will be difficult for me to explain to the Prime Minister!"
Chen Zhi hugged Ma Su's thigh tightly, almost begging and pulling Ma Su to prevent him from leaving.
There was no other reason than that Ma Di wanted to bypass martial arts and go to Chang'an to have some fun.
This frightened the supervisor Chen Zhi. He had never seen anyone so adventurous since he was recruited into the army.
General Ma has to step aside from other people's adventures. It's too conservative. The adventures of General Ma are always beyond your imagination.
For example, in Ma Su's plan, the most risky choice turned out to be to attack Baierqin Pass! Chen Zhi could not imagine how General Ma survived before he came to serve as the supervisor.
"Ahem... Fengzong, your structure is still too small!" Ma Di looked helplessly at Chen Zhi, who had no image of a scholar and just dragged him to prevent him from leaving. He somewhat understood how he had given up in history. Jiang Wei collected military expenses.
"Think about it carefully, we only have two thousand cavalry now, how much attention can we attract even if we all use martial arts to harass? As long as the martial arts Wei army fights to defend the city, we will not affect the overall situation even if we wail like ghosts and wolves outside the city!"
"So we must attack the enemy's key points and save them, so that the Wei army will be exhausted on the way back and forth for rescue!"
Now Ma Su can be regarded as a veteran on the battlefield, and his casual remarks may seem reasonable. If he were a battlefield general like Wang Ping, he would theoretically be convinced by Ma Di.
But Chen Zhi was obviously not one of them. He didn't care what Ma Su said, he just grabbed Ma Su's armor and refused to let him go.
I have to say that the supervisor sent here by the Prime Minister does have something.
"Okay, okay, Fengzong, get up first. I promise that I will never lead an army to Chang'an. Let's do it now." Ma Di sighed, and it seemed that he could only use some small means.
"If it doesn't work out, I'll swear by the Weishui River. How about this?"
Chen Zhi was still young, so he immediately believed Ma Su's statement. After pondering for a while, Chen Zhi stood up and bowed his hands to Ma Su.
"I hope the general can respect himself. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can you, the general of the auxiliary country, put yourself in danger?"
"Of course." Ma Su nodded and said matter-of-factly.
"I, Ma Su, will do what I say and will never break my oath!"
Chen Zhi felt relieved and went to the Chinese Army honestly.
Then two thousand cavalry swaggered from the Wei River to the south, approaching Wugong all the way. During this period, Chen Tai watched everyone's movements, but none of them responded as if they were blind.
They were all frightened by the beating, and all the brothers were no longer passionate young men. At this time, even if you give their coach a set of women's clothing, all the generals will shout, "Come here, General!"
Once again, the two thousand cavalrymen reached Wugong in a smooth journey as if they were in no man's land.
Wugong is the last barrier to the west of Chang'an, south of the Wei River, and an extremely important stronghold in Guanzhong. If this place is captured, theoretically all the passes in Chang'an will be defeated.
Of course, the theory is just a theory, and there are many things to consider in reality, such as grain roads. Historically, the prime minister chose to garrison troops in Wuzhangyuan instead of attacking Wugong after leaving Baoxie Road. The main reason was the problem of food routes.
Zhuge Liang saw this very clearly, and so did Sima Yi. So he dared to say in history that if Zhuge Liang went to martial arts, we would be in danger, but if he went to Wuzhangyuan, we would be safe.
Even if you are sure that Zhuge Liang will not go, there will be no threat if you do.
However, it is not Sima Yi who is resisting the Shu army now, but Wei general Chen Tai. Chen Tai did not have the same knowledge as Sima Yi, so he quickly panicked after hearing that the Shu army was surrounded by martial arts.
"Martial arts is the last line of defense in Chang'an. There must be no more mistakes!" Chen Tai walked back and forth in the military tent several times and quickly called his generals to give the order.
"Guo Yongzhou is only a hundred miles away from here at the moment, and it will probably arrive soon. Now I will immediately lead five thousand troops to defend the martial arts. You stay here and don't leave the camp no matter what happens!"
"Understand?"
"Wei!" all the generals replied confidently.
Just kidding, even if Chen Tai asked them to go out in this situation, they would not dare to go out. The Shu army on the opposite side has been blasting us for several years, but who is still foolish enough to take the initiative to attack us?
After giving all the instructions, Chen Tai quickly took five thousand soldiers and horses and galloped down the Weishui River to Wugong.
Normally, Ma Su's mission has been completed. Chen Tai left the camp, and the remaining generals had no prestige or courage. Even if the Shu army harvested food under their noses, they probably would not dare to come out.
But obviously, Ma Su is not so easily restrained.
So on the day Chen Tai came to Wugong, Chen Zhi couldn't find Ma Su. He searched the entire camp and couldn't find Ma Su, so he could only go to Liu Yin anxiously to ask.
"Liu Xiaowei, where did Ma Fuguo go? And his bodyguards are also missing?" Chen Zhi grabbed Liu Yin and asked anxiously.
However, compared to Chen Zhi, Liu Yin was already used to it and said with a gentle wave of his hand.
"The general is busy with something. He will be back in a few days. Don't worry, keep an eye on your habits. General Ma often likes to take hundreds of people around."
Liu Yin's calmness was in sharp contrast to Chen Zhi's panic. It felt like the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was.
"What?" Chen Zhi was shocked and found it difficult to accept for a moment.
"Didn't General Ma take an oath?"
"Isn't the main force still outside Wugong City? The oath didn't say that General Ma's personal guards must be outside Wugong City, right?" Liu Yin said lazily, as if I had already made a show of it.
"Give up, Chen Jianjun, our General Ma has figured it out and no one can stop him except the Prime Minister. Just accept your fate honestly, General Ma has always been like this."
Chen Zhi: "..."
I'm sorry, Prime Minister! !

While Chen Zhi regretted being paralyzed, Ma Di had successfully escaped with his troops.
At this moment Ma Su returned to his most familiar feeling. Under his command were veterans who traveled all over the country and obeyed his orders. More than a hundred of them basically went wherever they wanted.
This feeling is so refreshing!
"General! Where are we going?"
"Of course I'm going to Chang'an." Ma Di waved his hand and said very directly.
"It is said that the Puppet Wei General Cao Zhen is seriously ill. We must go over to express our condolences. Even if we go empty-handed, it is okay to send a congratulatory message..."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Su saw a sudden fire not far away from the corner of his eye. This made Ma Su's eyelids twitch and he felt something was wrong.
what happened? Does Guanzhong also like to play with fires when I'm not around?
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"
