Chapter 638 Zhuge governs Guandong
Just when Ma Su was constantly mobilizing troops and generals, he was still thinking about why the wealthy people in Luoyang had no temper. In Luoyang, the eastern capital, Zhuge Liang was sitting in the main hall, calmly receiving representatives of Luoyang's wealthy families.
In fact, as soon as Ma Di left Luoyang, someone wanted to cause trouble. Especially when Ma Su was fighting fiercely in Yanzhou, the Luoyang clan had basically colluded.
Unfortunately, at this juncture, Zhuge Liang suddenly came to Luoyang from Chang'an. Then the Sima family in Hanoi rebelled, and the waves that had just been set off in Luoyang were quickly calmed down.
"Everyone, I know that the general's unreasonable massacre makes you panic. This is human nature. I do not support his doing this. This time I came to Luoyang with orders to keep an eye on him and prohibit You Chang from continuing to mess around."
Zhuge Liang looked at the representatives of the wealthy families sitting below. Most of them looked nervous and fearful, and he knew how much Ma Di was a deterrent to them. So he spoke calmly and expressed his stance to the Luoyang wealthy families in an almost conciliatory manner.
"Liang swears in the name of the Prime Minister that he will never let You Chang cause trouble in Guandong again!"
"As for you... Your Majesty is kind and does not want to see the former Han ministers suffer, so he is willing to give you a way to become an official."
"Moreover, Luoyang is in chaos now, and the whole Sizhou is invaded by thieves and bandits. Today, I ordered 20,000 Northern troops to station in Luoyang, which can be regarded as a guarantee for your safety."
"For Liang's sake, let's let it go."
Zhuge Liang's words used both soft and hard words, including coaxing and threats, and quickly suppressed the Luoyang powerful men. The eyes of many representatives of wealthy families who originally had a deep hatred against Ma Su also flickered and began to weigh the pros and cons.
They could also see that Zhuge Liang and Ma Su were playing double roles. One was a good person and the other was a good person, and they were slaughtered like pigs from the wealthy people in Luoyang.
But when the situation is stronger than the person, even if you see everything clearly, you have to accept the other party's proposal.
For example, now, because of Ma Su's intimidation, the entire Luoyang clan has hatred towards him. But the appearance of Zhuge Liang gave them a glimmer of hope, making some people unwilling to continue risking their lives.
In particular, Zhuge Liang has always had an excellent reputation and is the only one who has been able to control Ma Su for so many years. Therefore, his words quickly poured cold water on the explosive barrel that was about to explode in Luoyang.
"The Prime Minister is your guarantee! We have no complaints!"
Finally, someone took the lead to express his position and said to Zhuge Liang with his hands raised.
"We can trust Prime Minister Zhuge's credibility!"
"We have no grudges with the general. It's better to resolve enemies than to end them..."
"It's all for the sake of the Han Dynasty. We can understand the general's true temperament!"
With Zhuge Liang's comfort, the major families in Luoyang gradually settled down. The increasingly tense atmosphere in Sizhou gradually eased after the Prime Minister's Mansion took over.
But even so, Zhuge Liang's mood did not get better, and Jifei Chanzi never left his hand.
"How is the progress of You Chang?"
"Prime Minister, the general is making rapid progress, and the Central Plains has surrendered. Now the main force of the Han army is stalemate with the Wei army at Baima Jin, and the other force is confronting the Wei army at Langya!"
"Is he still in the mood for a confrontation? Does he know that he almost died in Guandong?" Zhuge Liang almost laughed out loud at Ma Su's arrangement. If he could do it, he really wanted to beat Ma Su right now.
"There are only 100,000 people on the front line, and he has not left any reserve troops. If I don't come to Luoyang in time, and Sizhou is in chaos again, does he want to take the prince to death with him?"
"What did you tell him before we set off! Be steady and steady! How come you haven't listened to any advice after so many years!"
"Indeed, Youchang is indeed too risky, right?" A veteran next to him nodded and said with deep sympathy.
Then Zhuge Liang looked at him and said expressionlessly,
"Wen Chang, you are not much more stable than You Chang!"
"Ahem... After all, he is more stable than Youchang." Wei Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, but still said harshly.
Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and said nothing.
There is a saying that Wei Yan is not as good as Ma Di. At least Ma Di has made many more friends than Wei Yan.
This time Zhuge Liang suddenly visited Dongdu because he really couldn't stand Ma Di's adventure anymore. He took hundreds of thousands with him to fight in the field, but in the end, he gave up and gave up without even caring about his family.
Although judging from Zhuge Liang's understanding of Ma Di, he most likely did it on purpose. But precisely because of this, Zhuge Liang was even more angry.
Your kid will die if you don't waste any time, right? It was already a game that was going to be a sure win, and something had to happen.
As early as ten years ago, Zhuge Liang had been worried that Ma Di would take too many risks after becoming a general. Now it seems that all the worries he had at the time were unnecessary. After all, even though he was worried like this, he still couldn't restrain Ma Su from committing suicide...
There was no other way. In the end, Zhuge Liang could only think that after Chang'an was basically stabilized, he quickly brought the Prime Minister's Mansion to Kanto to help.
Fortunately, they arrived in time and there was no chaos in Sizhou. But even so, Zhuge Liang's desire to beat Ma Su has not been extinguished, but has become stronger.
"Prime Minister, the envoys from Youchang just now are back, and they will continue to mobilize troops from Luoyang for reinforcements. Prime Minister, how about..." Wei Yan came over at this time and suggested to Zhuge Liang with a smile.
"Luoyang hasn't completely settled down yet, and the newly surrendered Yuzhou and Xuzhou need to be comforted even more. I can't get away." Zhuge Liang naturally saw Wei Yan's Gonghuo clearly, and just shook his head gently and said.
"What's more, I told You Chang that I won't be involved in the military from now on. It's inconvenient for me to break my promise!"
As soon as Zhuge Liang said these words, Wei Yan's eyes turned red with envy.
When he applied to lead the army alone, Zhuge Liang was worried. In the end, it was Ma Su's turn, and Zhuge Liang didn't even bother to deal with the situation.
This is the gap!
"By the way, although I won't go, Chief Wen, please take Ma Dai to calm down the situation for Youchang. By the way, take that one with you. Youchang has persisted for three months with no results, so it's probably quite necessary. ”
While Zhuge Liang was immersed in official duties again, he suddenly opened his mouth and continued to add.
"Although the puppet Wei has retreated to Hebei, the natural dangers in Qinnan are not so easy to overcome."
Wei Yan: "..."
"Prime Minister! Do you still need an apprentice?"
"Go back quickly!"

Facts have proved that Zhuge Liang's arrival in Guandong was very timely.
After the Prime Minister's Palace stabilized Sizhou, Zhuge Liang was quickly free to appease the three newly surrendered Central Plains states. And without Zhuge Liang, Ma Di probably had to conquer Qingzhou all the way to have a chance to digest these territories.
By that time, the account books will probably have to be destroyed a lot again, and the workload may be even greater.
However, some people are happy and some are worried about Zhuge Liang's coming to Guandong. Taking Ji Han as an example, Ma Su was a little panicked.
