Chapter 678 Ma Su is seriously ill
"Ah sneeze!"
On a flat field ridge somewhere in Yuzhou, Ma Su suddenly sneezed, and then shivered subconsciously.
"Who else is talking about me? Isn't Heyin sending away enough?"
Ma Su touched his nose and muttered to himself in confusion.
"General, I'm afraid it's not that someone is talking about you, but that you caught a cold." Ma Zhong, who was next to him, thoughtfully put a fur coat on Ma Su and said helplessly to him.
"At your age, you should just sit in the temple and rely on your aura to intimidate Xiaoxiao. As for such trivial matters as surveying the terrain, just entrust it to anyone."
"How can this be a trivial matter? Every item is related to the national destiny of the Han Dynasty."
Ma Di waved his hand gently and explained seriously,
"The land of Wuyue has always been far away from the Central Plains. The land is fertile and blocked by large rivers. It is a naturally separatist area like Yizhou. If you are not careful, it may escape the control of the imperial court."
"What's more, the waterway from Lianghuai to Luoyang has insufficient transportation capacity and huge losses along the way. All these impacts will weaken the imperial court's control over the southeast!"
What follows is a long Little Ice Age, and the climate in the north will become cooler and cooler. It won't be long before Guanzhong will be unable to stay any longer, and the entire Central Plains will fall into a two-hundred-year-long confrontation with the nomads in the north.
By that time, the southeast had become the imperial reserve force and the last safe haven. If there is any irresistible chaos in the future, Yiguan Nandu will be the last choice.
Seeing that Ma Di had not yet captured Jiangdong, he was already thinking about what to do after capturing it. Ma Zhong was also helpless. General Ji Han has been working hard for the court for so many years, and he can't take a moment off.
I have to say that Ma Su is indeed worthy of being a macho man from heaven. Starting from a street pavilion, he fought victoriously all the way and fought his way from the northwest to the Central Plains.
And Ji Han, the small political power in the southwest that originally only relied on Zhuge Liang's last breath, was stunned to be the remnant of Fen II. In less than twenty years, Cao Wei was defeated and regained control of the Central Plains.
Even if Liu Bei himself knew about this, he would probably have to give himself a slap in the face.
As for Gong, Ma Su is almost impeccable. Except that the massacre of scholar-bureaucrats will cause some controversy, he respects his teachers and his country, and is almost the most respected model of a gentleman in Confucianism.
To be such a moral model, if you don’t judge a virile man from heaven, there probably won’t be any virile man from heaven in this world.
"However, General, you still have to take care of your health." Ma Zhong shook his head gently and said helplessly to Ma Su.
"Compared to these, your deterrence is the greatest asset! As long as you sit wherever you are, your deterrence alone is enough to make all the people in the country dare not move."
However, Ma Zhong's words were not recognized by Ma Su. Instead, he glared at Ma Zhong and snorted coldly,
"What are you talking about? Wherever I sit, can I scare anyone who wants to to death?"
"And people will die one day. One day I, Ma Su, will be gone. Won't those frightened Xiaoxiao still come out to cause trouble?"
"It's better for me to go out in person and deal with all the Xiao Xiaos hiding in the dark. Even if we are no longer here one day, the big man can still hold Taishan in check!"
At this point, Ma Di understood better how some founding monarchs later killed their heroes. When the successor to the throne is unable to take the lead on his own, the head of the family always wants to eliminate all visible threats before he leaves.
The same is true for Ma Su. What he is doing now is to add a layer of insurance to Ji Han's rule.
Ma Su, who has lived in two lifetimes, is really afraid that one day Wu Huan Hua will appear again. After all, if he failed to commit suicide and was unable to change the final outcome of Wu Huan Hua, then what exactly was he protecting during this time travel?
Therefore, with such worries, the older Ma Su gets, the less leisurely he becomes. He tried every means possible, regardless of his physical condition.
Anyway, for Ma Su, the sooner he dies, the more money he will make.
"No one has died since ancient times, and his loyal heart will be remembered by history. I, Ma Di, will eventually become a person whose name will be left in the history books, but I can't lose it later." Ma Di smiled and waved to Ma Zhong, then turned around and planned to jump off the horse. Come down and explore the terrain.
This was a normal action, and Ma Zhong and others didn't pay attention at all. Unexpectedly, Ma Su jumped from his horse to the ground. Suddenly he felt dizzy and fell to the ground!
"General!"
"Envoy!"
"Quick! Call the doctor!"

Starting from Jieting, Ma Su changed his position to a military commander, and then began his cheating life. I haven't had a single illness in these ten years, and my health is in excellent condition most of the time.
But in the final analysis, Ma Su himself is indeed very young. Ma Su was already in his thirties during the Battle of Jieting, and now he is even in his fifties. The hidden wounds caused before have now begun to gradually show up.
In particular, the climate in the Huaihe River is mild and humid, so the long and long journey has an even greater impact on Ma Su.
So, under the superposition of illness caused by overwork and concentrated hidden injuries. Ma Di had just finished traveling to Yuzhou when he suddenly fell ill near Xuchang.
Ma Zhong was right. The sneeze that Ma Su sneezed was not because someone was talking about him, but... he was really sick!
Ma Di suddenly fell seriously ill, and Yu Xuchang couldn't afford to fall ill, which immediately triggered a riot in Ji Han.
The first one to get the news was naturally Zhuge Liang in Luoyang. When he heard that Ma Su was seriously ill, Zhuge Liang's expression suddenly changed.
"You Chang is seriously ill? Could it be because I hit him too hard before?" When he found out that Ma Di was seriously ill, Zhuge Liang's first reaction was that he had slapped him too hard last time.
Otherwise, how could a seemingly healthy person become seriously ill in such a short period of time?
"Prime Minister, you are overthinking. The general has been fighting for many years and has numerous hidden injuries and diseases all over his body. Now I am afraid it is because of the recurrence of old injuries and the acclimatization..." Chief Shi Yang Zhun's vision was quite accurate. He shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"I still put too much pressure on You..." Zhuge Liang shook his head gently, his look of self-blame difficult to conceal. Then he stood up suddenly and gave the order directly,
"Shiqiu, you now have full authority to take over the Prime Minister's Mansion and assist the Crown Prince in supervising the country on my behalf. I must now go south to visit You Chang in person..."
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid I can't do this." Yang Zhun shook his head, spread his hands in front of Zhuge Liang's doubtful eyes and said,
"The prince has already gone to Xuchang. He can no longer supervise the country in Luoyang..."
