Chapter 240 You really didn’t leave an ambush
At this moment, Ma Su looked at Li Feng with eyes full of sincerity. People have invited you to have a drink. It would be rude if you didn't go.
So Ma Su was very bold, jumped off his horse and walked towards the city.
Seeing Ma Su's actions, all the soldiers under his command were stunned. Chen Zhi was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse and quickly tried to stop Ma Su.
However, Chen Zhi did not pull Ma Su away in the end, but was stopped by Liu Yin.
"Xiuran, you..."
"Chen Jianjun, General Ma has his own sense of discretion. It is not appropriate to interfere too much in this matter." Facing Chen Zhi's shocked eyes, Liu Yin waved his hand and said. Having followed Ma Su for many years, one can see from this situation that the general has already made up his mind.
The general has his own sense of proportion in this kind of thing. If they try to stop it, it will ruin the general's plan.
Under Liu Yin's obstruction, Ma Di walked into Jiangzhou City very easily. Followed by only a few personal guards, Ma Su slowly walked up to the top of the city.
No one came out to stop them during the whole process, and there was no ambush at all. There seemed to be no people at all in Jiangzhou, a complete empty city.
Ma Su didn't care about this, but walked all the way to the top of the city and came to Li Feng, who looked confused.
"Li Jiangzhou, I first met him in Chengdu in the past, and it has been several years now."
"Although we seem to be a little estranged because of some small things such as Li Yongzhou's incident. But in my opinion, it's not like we can't sit down and talk, right?"
Ma Su sat carelessly in front of Li Feng, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. He wasn't even worried about whether Li Feng would poison him.
Regardless of whether I bet or not, I won’t lose anyway!
"I did it! What did Li Jiangzhou say?" Ma Di put down his wine glass, but saw that Li Feng opposite him had cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"General Ma, I think we..."
"What's wrong with us?" Seeing Li Feng's appearance, Ma Su frowned immediately.
Wait, why is this guy so nervous?
Could it be...
Ma Di directly threw the cup in his hand to the ground. The bronze cup collided with the ground and made a crisp sound. This echoed continuously in the silent city, and there was no other noise at all.
Silence, dead silence!
"So, Li Feng really didn't arrange an ambush at all?" Ma Di turned to look at Li Feng, feeling a little incredible.
"General Ma, let me go! I can still make meritorious deeds!" Li Feng knelt down very simply, without any hesitation. Seeing his panicked expression, Ma Su basically understood.
Damn it, you’re a liar!
Ma Su had thought that Li Feng was planning an empty city. After all, it was obviously useless for him to ambush with only a few people. But Ma Su thought that even if Li Feng planned an empty city, he would have to arrange an ambush. Even if there was no resistance, he would still have to protect him and escape, right?
There is no need for more, just a few hundred soldiers is enough.
As a result, Ma Di did not expect that Li Feng's empty city plan was implemented a bit too honestly.
As the leader of the rebels, you personally carried out the empty city plan without even a personal guard around you?
"You don't just expect to scare me away with two children, a table and two glasses of wine, right?" Ma Su looked at Li Feng as if he were a fool. He thought about it countless times, but he never expected that Li Feng would be caught by him like he was almost helpless.
"Where are your soldiers? I heard in Hanzhong that you, Li Feng, raised tens of thousands of troops to rebel. Where did they go?"
"They've all gone to Yong'an..." Li Feng smiled bitterly and knelt down.
"Are you not leaving any at all?"
"I can't stay. The military power is controlled by the Jiangzhou clan. I can't even keep my own soldiers..." Li Feng answered honestly, sweating profusely when facing Ma Su's question.
This was a rare act of cleverness by Li Feng, but he didn't expect it to be of any use. Not only did he fail to frighten the imperial troops, he also trapped himself.
He even embarrassed Li Yan...
However, in Li Feng's anxious explanation, Ma Su also understood the specific situation.
From the beginning of the Jiangzhou rebellion, the decision-making power was not in Li Feng's hands.
He is no better than Li Yan. He alone cannot defeat those elite people in Jiangzhou. Therefore, within half a year of Li Yan's death, Li Feng did not have much power left in Jiangzhou, and all military power was divided up.
Perhaps it was Ma Su who frightened the Jiangzhou clan when he launched a massive campaign in Shuzhong, and the Jiangzhou clan reached a consensus after some thoughtful instigation. When Cao Wei launched an all-out attack on Shu, they jointly rebelled after Zhuge Liang left Shu.
As a result, they were all fooled by the delayed information from Shu.
When the Shu army defeated the Wei army in Guanzhong, the intelligence obtained by these Jiangzhou nobles was that the Wei army was attacking Shu from all directions and that the Shu Han was in danger...
So it was tragic. This group of wealthy people knew that they were doomed when Zhuge Liang arrived in Hanzhong. So they gathered the remaining troops in Jiangzhou and prepared to flee from Yong'an to Soochow.
As for Li Feng, he was abandoned by the wealthy family because he lost his value. At the last moment, Li Feng didn't even have a few soldiers to protect him.
Then the previous scene happened...
"You are such a talent!" Ma Di twitched the corners of his mouth, choking for a long time without cursing.
After all, scolding a fool is too immoral, and Ma Su really has no interest in it.
Li Feng said nothing and knelt down to beg for mercy and waited for trial.
"Detain them, it seems we have no fight to fight..." Ma Su sighed, and finally waved his hand and said.
"Let Liu Yin quickly occupy the county governor's mansion and control the archives, property deeds and other things."
The rich people in Jiangzhou ran away, but the farmland and the manor could not escape. Once all these are taken into account, Jiangzhou will soon become a large farming area of the Shu Han.
The only thing that dissatisfied Ma Su is probably that he ran all the way and didn't fight.
Li Feng, Li Feng, I thought I, Ma Su, was enough of a prodigal, but I didn’t expect to meet you today...

Ma Di easily cracked Li Feng's empty city plan and took over Jiangzhou City without spending a single soldier. Subsequently, with Jiangzhou City as the center, the various counties and cities were informed, and it basically didn't take much effort.
When the real main force of the rebels, tens of thousands of Jiangzhou bandits, arrived at Yong'an, they were also blocked by Zhang Yi.
As a famous general in Shu, Zhang Yi far surpassed the rebels in terms of combat quality and soldier quality. At the foot of Yong'an City, he defeated the bandit army with only five thousand troops.
In just one battle, all the rebels were defeated. None of the wealthy people involved in the rebellion ran away, and they were all captured. After reporting it to Chengdu, the answer given by the palace was to kill him!
As for Li Feng, he was lucky enough to get an answer from Zhuge Liang. He was spared the death penalty, demoted to a commoner, and could never serve in an official position again for eternity.
The Jiangzhou rebellion was put down easily.
All in all, it's not a big problem, and it doesn't even require Ma Su to take action. For a rebellion of this level, even sending Liao Hualai would feel like an incompetence.
However, it can be regarded as the last hidden danger in Shuzhong has been eliminated. From then on, there is no force from Nanzhong to Hanzhong that can threaten the central government.
