Chapter 590: Taking an official position in Kanto
"I am a minister of Wei, and I am deeply favored by the country. How can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Wang Jun was very indifferent to the issue that he was about to die.
"Today, even if I, Wang Jun, use my own life as bait, I will die together with you, Ma Su! If I can save the fate of the country of Wei, I will be worthy of the national favor I have received!"
These words are very easy to understand. To put it simply, Wang Jun is going to break up with you, Ma Su.
Wang Jun, a native of Hongnong, was just a poor scholar in his youth. He was not taken seriously in the family, and his reputation was not very good, so at most he could only work as a Hedong County official.
Such a great talent was just a small official with a salary of 800 dan before he started his career.
It was just because of Ma Su's butterfly effect that when Guanzhong was in chaos, Wang Jun fled to Guandong and was enabled by Jiang Ji in Luoyang. Because of his talents, he became the captain of the Luoyang Lingfu Army in three years, and he was called the little Jiang Wei of Cao Wei.
But it was such an adventure that made Wang Jun, who originally had no feelings for Cao Wei, begin to have a sense of belonging. When he was following Jiang Ji to guard Luoyang and was in a difficult situation, Wang Jun felt that it was time to step forward.
So Wang Jun informed Jiang Ji of the "conservative march" plan, and after defrauding the military power, he began to make arrangements. He used his identity as an unknown scholar to set up a trap for Ma Su.
I have to say that Ma Su was really careless this time. He only knew that Wang Jun was an unpopular talent in history, but he ignored the butterfly effect he had brought over the years.
To put it simply, Ji Han's ten-year Northern Expedition almost slaughtered the generals of Cao Wei. The loss of veteran generals and Ma Su's intimidation left many positions vacant, which allowed some previously unpopular talents to take up positions.
Wang Jun is just one of them, but this has already given Ma Su a headache.
However, Ma Di was surprised and also a little scornful of Wang Jun's fear of death.
A Luoyang order and Fujun captain asked you to sacrifice your heart and soul for Cao Wei? Is there any ideal? With your talent, you need at least two thousand stones to come to Ji Han.
But now that he is talking about this, Wang Jun will most likely not be able to listen. And instead of persuading Wang Jun to surrender, Ma Di had to figure out how to break out of the sea of fire.
There were 2,000 troops who followed Ma Su in pursuit and were ambushed. They were basically all soldiers from Luoyang who had surrendered.
This group of Wei people believed that the big man could bring them hope, so they were willing to fight for the big man. In this regard, Ma Su couldn't really let them die together.
Wang Jun was also aware of Ma Su's plan, but he scoffed at it. How could it be possible for you to run away so easily when I set up a trap using my wealth and life as a bait?
Wang Jun had done his homework before, and he knew very well how terrifying Ma Di was. If you reveal any flaws, he will quickly catch you and escape.
So this time, Wang Jun calculated everything he could before setting off. Even the weather was taken into consideration, so he deliberately chose a cloudless day.
Sure enough, after the Han army inspected everywhere, they found no loopholes. There were fires everywhere, and except for the water source near Yishui in the north, there was no chance of survival in the surrounding area.
After this inspection, Ma Su also confirmed that there was indeed no chance of breaking through without injury. This Wang Jun is really cruel, he really doesn't leave any way for himself to survive.
"The whole army breaks out to the north! Rush through the sea of fire at full speed! Rush into Yishui to escape!" After confirming the opportunity to break out, Ma Su ordered decisively without hesitation.
This place is not far from Yishui. If you can quickly rush through the sea of fire and jump into the water, it may be a chance to survive.
After Ma Su's decisive order, the Han army began to become afraid. However, the leading officers of the Selected Front Battalion reacted very quickly and immediately followed the order without hesitation and launched a breakout.
With Xingfengshi taking the lead, Han soldiers also began to follow him to break through. Two thousand Han troops risked their lives and rushed through the sea of fire, and then plunged into the Yishui, covered with fire.
In response, Wang Jun frowned and had no reaction, and it would be meaningless for him to respond. With only dozens of people beaten, he could no longer stop the Han army.
Ma Su was the last one to rush out. Before rushing out, he looked back at Wang Jun again.
"You are a courageous person. If you were in Dahan, you might have saved yourself decades of detours. It's a pity that you followed the wrong person..."
"Maybe, but a man will die for his bosom friend. After all, the big man you mentioned did not do me any favors." Wang Jun replied calmly.
"What a pity for the great talent..." Ma Di shook his head, stopped talking to Wang Jun, turned around and launched a breakout as well.

Ma Su was very lucky. There was no wind when the Wei army was angry. Moreover, Ma Su decisively ordered a breakout not long after the fire burned. The fire was not particularly fierce.
Under such circumstances, Ma Su successfully rushed out of the sea of fire and jumped into the nearby Yishui. The same was true for the rest of the Han soldiers. Although most of them suffered serious burns, there was no threat to their lives.
Most people survived, and Ma Su only suffered minor injuries that were not even fatal.
Wang Jun, who was still in the sea of fire, was obviously not so lucky. When Ma Su completed the breakout, the fire immediately became fierce, and this loyal minister of Cao Wei could not escape.
As for his troops who stayed outside, they were defeated by the Han army that followed before Ma Di broke out. After Ma Su broke out of the encirclement, he was immediately taken back by the Han army.
This incident was a wake-up call for Ma Su. He found that the butterfly effect he had brought about had begun to exert force in some invisible places.
He had always been prepared to commit suicide before. The main reason was that Ji Han's current personnel reserves were enough to stabilize the situation. And Cao Wei, who adopted the nine-level Zhongzheng system, seemed to be in sunset.
But if due to the butterfly effect, Cao Wei once again has the resources and position to attract a group of talents, everything will become suspenseful.
You must know that even if Ji Han has the advantage now, he is still far behind Cao Wei in terms of population. Population and land are linked to national strength, and the risks represented by such a gap are also not small.
"It seems that Dahan's recruitment of talents from Guandong must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. If Cao Wei is allowed to operate in Guandong for a few more years to discredit Dahan, I'm afraid there may be more risks in who will win..." Ma Di touched his chin and began to think. this matter.
However, when the Han army escorted the injured Ma Di back to the camp, they found that their camp was also on fire!
