Chapter 469 People from Soochow
After encountering the assassin in Xinye, Ma Di never let Liu Xu come forward to appease the people again. Ma Di was the only one who encouraged people to flee famine and called on refugees to go north.
During this period, Ma Su once again promoted suicide and appeared directly in civilian clothes. Facing the mixed crowd of refugees, Ma Su was completely unprepared and almost said "Come and assassinate me" on his face.
But it is a pity that since the last assassination attempt failed, Li Hui has increased the intensity of martial law. On this basis, Ma Su appeared in Xinye for more than half a month, but he was not assassinated again.
After all, the prince is your target, and I, Ma Su, can't even be considered a spare tire, right?
However, on the way to calling on the people to flee north, Ma Di discovered that these refugees really came from all over the world. Some came from Yingchuan, some from Huainan, and even some escaped from Xuzhou.
Ma Su was a little shocked by the composition of refugees from all over the world.
What surprised Ma Su the most was that he also discovered some refugees who had escaped from Luoyang.
This was what surprised Ma Su the most. After all, he remembered that there was Hulao Pass blocking the east side of Luoyang. With such a pass blocked there, there are still refugees who can escape from Luoyang Yin.
After meeting them, Ma Su subconsciously asked this question. But the news given by the refugees made Ma Su's eyes light up.
"We climbed over the mountains and escaped from the trails all the way." These refugees from Luoyang carefully explained to Ma Di,
"There are indeed many mountains east of Luoyang Yin, but there are many trails among them. Especially near Liang County, there are many trails that can bypass the county seat."
According to the refugee's explanation, Ma Su finally understood.
Although Luoyang Yin is also a basin, it is not surrounded by mountains that are difficult to climb like Guanzhong. On the contrary, the mountains near Luoyang can actually be marched, but they are not suitable for large-scale armies.
Therefore, many of the small roads can even allow cavalry to pass, and it is difficult for Cao Wei officials to explore.
According to calculations, it only takes seven days to march from Kunyang to Luoyang...
Ma Su's eyes slowly lit up, and he once again had a bold idea.
I just visited Luoyang Yin more than half a month ago. Now Cao Wei shouldn't expect that he will come back, right? What's more, he set out from Nanyang, took the mountain road to bypass the knowledge, and penetrated directly into Luoyang Yin with light troops, which was bound to catch Cao Wei by surprise.
Normally, what Ma Su did was useless except to scare Cao Rui. But it's different now. He heard from Wang Ping that Cao Wei was also organizing to move the capital.
In other words, those three princes and nine ministers, those royal family members of the Cao family, will all leave Luoyang City on their own at this time...
"There should be something done. After finishing the escape, maybe we can really go to Luoyang to take a look again." Ma Su got off work and made up his mind in a very short time.
I must go to Luoyang again to commit suicide!
Just when Ma Su started to rub his chin and wonder how to deal with it, Li Hui sent someone to tell him to go to the house as soon as possible.
A Soochow ship appeared again on the Xiangfan line, but it was not an army, but a small boat. There were only a few envoys above, and it seemed they were planning to come over for peace talks.
"Huh? Soochow lost all his dignity and stabbed us three times in the back. Now that we are at odds with each other, he still dares to send someone to negotiate for peace?"
After Ma Su heard the news, he understood Soochow's face a little more.
In fact, Ji Han and Soochow are now at loggerheads.
Soochow side stabbed three times in the back, not taking the covenant seriously at all. Ji Han also appointed Li Hui as the governor of Jingzhou and Xiang Chong as the pastor of Jiaozhou, making it clear that he no longer intends to continue to form an alliance with you.
Ma Di had even planned to wait until Liu Chan moved the capital to Chang'an and then submit a letter to his Majesty to demote Sun Quan to a commoner as soon as possible.
As a result, in such a big environment, Soochow dared to send people here. Do you really think that I, Ma Su, can't kill people?
"Quick! Order people to put a big cauldron in Xinye Mansion, add fire, water and spices. Today I will be the first person to cook the messenger!" After Ma Di came to his senses, he immediately made a decision and ordered the preparations for the big cauldron. pot.
Historically, when Deng Zhi went to Soochow as an envoy, Sun Quan set up a big pot to make things difficult for him. In the end, it was Deng Zhi's words that convinced Sun Quan, otherwise Wu Laoer's peeing might really stew Deng Zhi.
In this regard, Ma Su also planned to give the Soochow envoy some color. Moreover, Ma Su was determined to be serious. As long as the envoy dared to tell lies, he must be cooked and sent back to Sun Quan.
However, Ma Su's determination did not last long because he heard the name of Soochow's envoy.
Zhuge Jin...
"F*ck you Wu Laoer, you are so stubborn!" Ma Su was so angry that he could only order people to quickly remove the cauldron and everything else, and went to Fancheng to pick it up himself.
Although Soochow is indeed not called a thing, he can't really stew the prime minister's brother.
Sun Quan obviously noticed this and asked Zhuge Jin to be the envoy instead of Zhang Wen at this time. In such a sensitive period, it is indeed necessary to send relatives of each other's high-ranking officials as envoys.
Xinye was not far from Fancheng. Ma Su quickly arrived at the front line and met with the Soochow envoy Zhuge Jin.
"Brother Ziyu, why are you here at this time? If you are here to be a lobbyist for Soochow, it is better not to talk about it." Ma Su waved his hand and blocked Zhuge Jin's words immediately after seeing Zhuge Jin.
"Ahem... I think there is still room for maneuver." Zhuge Jin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when Ma Su came up to warn him. Obviously, he also knew that his Supreme had gone too far, but everyone was in charge, so he had to bite the bullet.
"Absolutely! If it weren't for Ziyu, the water in my pot would have boiled." Ma Su rolled his eyes and said without hesitation,
"Why don't you go back early and tell Sun Quan to wash his neck this morning and wait. Sooner or later, my big man will cut off his head and offer it to the late emperor and Yun Chang."
"Hey, hey, don't say it so harshly. After all, the Marquis of Wu is a great prince with more than 100,000 troops, sitting in one side." Zhuge Jin frowned, pondered for a moment and started speaking from Ji Han's point of view,
"Isn't your goal to support the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital? In the future, you need to focus more on the Eastern Expedition to the Central Plains. In this way, maintaining an alliance with Wu Hou is still valuable. After all, how can we say that Wu Hou has not formed a good relationship with the Puppet Wei? The problem has been explained.”
"Aren't you on good terms with the fake Wei?" Ma Di looked at Zhuge Jin with a half-smile, which made Zhuge Ziyu feel embarrassed.
"There has always been a rumor in our Shu region that if we were enemies of Soochow, the Prime Minister would only need 20,000 people to destroy him."
"If we have no war or peace with Soochow, then we only need 40,000 people to defend against him."
"But if we form an alliance with Soochow, then we will need at least 100,000 people to be able to defend against him and wipe his ass at the same time!"
