Chapter 650 Stress Response
"Sima Shi returned to Yecheng less than half a month ago, and he threw the military power of Liaodong to Cao Shuang and ran to Nanpi?"
Ma Su took the intelligence that had just been delivered to him, read it carefully for several times, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
This handling method seems very wrong, or it is very wrong on the surface.
He knew that Sima Shi wanted to surrender in Qingzhou before, after all, he was in Langya at the time. Even the reply to Sima Shi was written by Ma Su, in order to completely block Sima Shi's idea of surrender.
He is too young and his ability is terrifying. At present, his comprehensive level is far superior to all the young generations of Ji Han.
Ma Su is worried about putting such a hidden danger in, especially surrendering with the last wish of Sima the old thief.
After the way of surrender was blocked, Sima Shi was probably left with the country. So no matter how you look at it, Sima Shi's initiative to throw away power and run to Nanpi is an unreasonable move.
Wasn't he afraid that Cao Shuang's teammate would bring down the court?
"General, I don't really believe it, but it's true." The chief officer of the Military Council nodded and explained to Ma Su.
"As soon as Sima Shi left, Cao Shuang replaced the chief general of the Liaodong Wei Army with Guanqiu Jian. As for Yang Hu, a disciple of the Sima family, he was directly sent to Xiangping."
"Sima Shi didn't react to all this..."
"Hiss... Interesting." Ma Su touched his chin, was silent for a while, but suddenly laughed.
"It seems that I still underestimated Sima Shi. This guy is probably still forbearing and preparing for a fatal blow."
"It seems that the decision in Langya was too hasty. If I had known this earlier, I might as well agree to Sima Shi's surrender at that time, and then intercept and kill him in Qingzhou..."
Sending Sima Shi back to Hebei like this gave him too much subjective initiative. Ma Su even suspected that if he went north too late, Sima Shi would really do something weird for him.
Ma Su will never forget that the three thousand assassins that Sima Yi secretly raised in history were all Sima Shi's work!
That's Luoyang! Three thousand assassins were raised in the heart of the empire in three years! If this is used properly, it will be more than enough to launch a coup.
"In addition to Sima Shi, the pseudo-Wei also sent people to Luoyang to try to seek peace with us..." At this point, the chief officer of the Military Council became a little inexplicable.
As for the other people in the General's Mansion, they had already laughed!
"Seek peace? At this time?" Ma Su was also a little bit unable to hold back, and he didn't understand what Cao Shuang meant.
The two sides have fought to this extent, there is no possibility of seeking peace. And now you are not a big country sitting on the Central Plains, do you still have bargaining chips?
Even if I kill you, won't everything still be mine?
"Maybe you are trying to test our attitude?" The chief officer of the Military Council shook his head and replied.
"Forget it, let's not look at Hebei. Anyway, we don't have time to deal with them in the next two years." Ma Su shrugged and said disapprovingly.
"If I'm not mistaken, Yecheng will be in turmoil at least twice before our next northern expedition. Let them make trouble in Hebei. When they are exhausted, we will take over the north."
"Instead of continuing to look at Hebei, which we can't reach in the short term, it's better to look at Jiangdong."
In any case, Ji Han no longer has the energy to organize another large-scale northern expedition. After all, the harvest this time is too great, and now the entire court is focusing on digesting the territory of the Central Plains.
As for Hebei, let them fight among themselves. When the Han Dynasty stabilizes and digests the four states of Yanyu, Xusi, the national strength will at least double.
By then, even if another strong man from heaven appears in Hebei, it will probably be useless.
So even if he knew that Sima Shi had the intention to fight hard, Ma Su didn't care. At present, Ma Su's thoughts are more about dealing with the Lianghuai settlements as soon as possible and defeating the troublemaker in Jiangdong as soon as possible.
"If the general is interested in Dongwu, there are indeed some intelligence now." The chief officer of the Military Council spoke immediately.
As soon as he heard the news from Dongwu, Ma Su was no longer sleepy. He sat up all of a sudden, took the intelligence and started to read it himself.
However, after looking through the various intelligence detected by the Military Council, Ma Su frowned slightly.
After Cao Wei gave up the Central Plains, Ji Han quickly took over and accepted all of Lianghuai, and Ji Han basically surrounded Dongwu on three sides. Normally, Sun Quan's psychological pressure should be huge, after all, everyone knows that Ji Han is eager to kill him.
But under such circumstances, Sun Quan actually gathered a large number of troops in Ruxuwu. Looking at this posture, is he planning to continue his picnic in Hefei?
However, after looking at it again, Ma Su dispelled this guess.
Because after the Eastern Wu army gathered in Ruxuwu, there was no sign of large-scale mobilization of food and fodder to prepare for the Northern Expedition. On the contrary, they were repairing the city walls near Ruxuwu, and it seemed that they wanted to defend.
Tens of thousands of troops gathered in such a place just to repair the city for defense?
Ma Su had another guess in his mind, but he was not sure, so he continued to ask.
"Are there any movements of the Wu army in Jingzhou? Have they sent reinforcements to Xiakou?"
Since the capture of Jiangling, the first important town in Jingzhou, all the nails of the Eastern Wu in Jingzhou have been removed one after another. Now the only thing that the Eastern Wu can control is Xiakou, the important town in Jiangxia.
"That's right. Now the Dongwu navy has entered Xiakou from Chaisang and has sent reinforcements there." The chief officer of the Military Council nodded gently, confirming Ma Su's guess.
"I see." Ma Su understood everything immediately, and felt a little happy for a while.
Sun Quan's sudden move was obviously not a sudden brain-twitch to counterattack. He was actually... afraid, thinking that I was going to hit him.
This is normal, after all, Ma Su is always the sharpest knife in the court of Ji Han. The direction he appears has always been the strategic focus of Ji Han's next step.
And now, Ma Su has been in Shouchun for three months, and his specific attitude is naturally self-evident. Especially since Ji Han is now a big family, it is normal for Sun Quan to have a little stress reaction for a while.
However, all Ma Su can give is to laugh at the joke.
"As expected of a Jiangdong rat, he is not as brave as a quail egg. If I stay in Shouchun in the future, will he empty Jiangdong's family's funds to maintain the border defense army all year round?"
After reading the intelligence, Ma Su couldn't help but sneered and said to himself.
But before he finished speaking, Ma Su suddenly stopped laughing and suddenly came to his senses.
Maybe... it's not impossible?
