Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After receiving the report from the north of Jincheng, Zhuge Liang frowned.

"Wei general Sima Zhao led his troops to Zhiyang and wreaked havoc on roads and canals?"

"Yes, Prime Minister, according to the reports from the scouts, they seem to be setting fire to farmland and destroying local facilities." Yang Yi smiled bitterly. Although it felt incredible, it was the fact.

The Wei army, which was supposed to defend Jincheng County, was currently destroying local infrastructure. This revealed signal forced Zhuge Liang to re-examine his next strategy.

"So, the Wei army in Jincheng County has no intention of defending. They are planning to abandon Jincheng County." Zhuge Liang frowned, spread out the map and began to look at it.

Now the Shu army is besieging Jincheng, and it seems to be difficult to capture it in a short period of time. The Wei army had already planned to destroy roads and farmland, and was obviously well prepared.

Once they succeed, Jincheng County will become a piece of dilapidated and scorched earth. If the Shu army takes over, not only will it not be able to facilitate the next step in the strategy, it will also likely hinder logistics.

You must know that chaotic counties, damaged roads, and a large number of victims... these will all translate into specific logistical pressures.

It would be okay if the distance was close, but the Wuwei that the Shu army was going to attack next was hundreds of miles away. If the Wei army continues to defend, the Shu army may even need to march all the way to Dunhuang.

These pressures and changes are likely to affect the Shu army's further offensive.

"It seems that Sima Yi is planning to strengthen the wall and clear the country..." Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and instantly understood Sima Yi's next idea.

Strengthen the wall and clear the field, and increase the difficulty of enemy logistics. Then he dragged the Shu army to his own main battlefield and fought a decisive battle with the Shu army with many advantages.

If the Shu army did not advance, he would join forces with the Guanzhong reinforcements to continue harassing them. In the end, the Northern Expedition, which allowed the Shu army to fully accumulate strength, could only end hastily.

"Good plan..." Yang Yi sighed subconsciously, but seeing Prime Minister Zhuge still frowning, she quickly closed her mouth.

Not to mention anything else, Yang Yi was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he dared to fight Wei Yan, but he just didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Zhuge Liang.

"It seems that the difficulty of this Northern Expedition will not be too low. Sima Yi is probably planning to completely cripple Liangzhou and make us unable to digest Liangzhou." Zhuge Liang shook his head, he saw something wrong in it.

"Send an order to Ma Su and ask him to immediately lead three thousand cavalry to stop the Wei army. Tell him that no matter what method he uses, he must drive away the Wei army and save Jincheng County."

"Wei!" Yang Yi was a little stunned, but quickly accepted the order.

"Sima Zhongda, you are indeed ruthless, but let's see who among us is faster!"

At this moment, Ma Di was in the army thinking about how to strengthen Sima Yi next, and then received Zhuge Liang's order.

"Go north to stop the Wei army and protect the property and road safety of the people in Jincheng County?" Ma Su was a little stunned. But soon, Ma Su came to his senses and became furious.

"Is old thief Sima so ruthless? He can even destroy his own county. Is he still a human being?"

"Go back and tell the Prime Minister that if Sima Zhao destroys a stone on the road in Jincheng, the Prime Minister will tear off my head and kick it as a ball!"

"Keep your head, the Prime Minister doesn't like playing football." Yang Yi rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.

"General Fu Guo, don't talk big words. Let's finish things first and then talk about it."

Although Ma Su has become famous in recent years and has a great reputation in Shu. But Yang Yi relied on his talent and arrogance, and still looked down on Ma Su. This was his character.

Ma Su was too lazy to follow Yang Yi. After receiving the military order, Ma Su led his troops and prepared to set off.

This time Ma Di fought an unprecedentedly wealthy battle, and Zhuge Liang gave him three thousand cavalry. But the bad news is that this time Ma Su can only lead the army alone.

Liu Yin was transferred away before the start of the Northern Expedition. He was promoted to general and went to Wuling to follow Xiang Chong to warn Soochow. Jiang Wei was transferred to conquer the eastern city with Wei Yan and had no time to follow Ma Su.

Ma Su is very satisfied with this. Now if I commit suicide again, I will see who else can save me!

The next day, Ma Su led three thousand cavalry and left the camp to go north to stop the Wei army.

Zhiyang is two hundred miles north of Jincheng and is the only way for the Shu army to pass through in the northern expedition to Wuwei. Wei general Sima Zhao led his soldiers and horses to destroy the road here in order to cause trouble to the Shu army's logistics.

Without Chidao's blessing, the Shu army would be under great pressure to transport food for hundreds of miles.

Sima Zhao actually started destroying facilities two months in advance. However, because there are many facilities and it is troublesome to destroy the roads, not half of them have been destroyed so far.

While Sima Zhao was busy leading his troops to destroy the roads along the way, a scout suddenly reported that Shu cavalry was coming from the south.

"Huh? They dared to send troops before Jincheng was captured?" Sima Zhao was still far behind Sima Division. Hearing that there were only three thousand cavalry invading, he immediately became confused.

Liangzhou is a major horse-producing area, and there were many cavalry under Sima Yi's rule over the years. Sima Zhao alone had five thousand cavalry at his disposal.

Therefore, Sima Zhao was qualified to despise the Shu cavalry, at least that's what he thought.

"It seems that the Shu people are too arrogant. We have to give them some color! Let me, Sima Zhao, lead the army and tell the Shu people who the strongest army in the world is!"

"By the way, who is the general of the Shu army?"

"General, the flag of the commander of the Shu army is printed with "General Ma of the Han Fu Kingdom"."

"who?"

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, which suddenly made Sima Zhao's eyes clear.

"Ma Su!! Has Xishu gone crazy and sent him to stop him?"

Sima Zhao felt a little scared when he thought of those rumors about Ma Su. He is just starting out and has not experienced any major battles. Compared with veterans like Ma Su, there is still a big gap.

Sima Zhao still saw his own abilities clearly, and he was not arrogant enough to challenge Ma Su, who was famous in the northwest.

How about running away?

Sima Zhao subconsciously wanted to retreat, but after thinking about his father's order, he still said it bravely.

"Since Ma Di is here, we have to pay attention... pass my order, divide the troops into five groups as suspects, and attack from all directions to destroy roads and drains!"

"If Ma Su comes to chase you, you don't need to fight him. You just need to evacuate quickly! If Ma Su insists on pursuing you, then divide your troops and run separately. You must not fight Ma Su!"

"Our mission is to destroy the road. We don't have time to fight with Ma Su. Let's let him go this time!"

Sima Zhao started to get timid, but Ma Di was already rushing over there.

The famous Duke of Jin, who was well-known to everyone in later generations, officially met Guabi in Liangzhou.

There is an exam on Wednesday, and there will also be an exam next Wednesday. It’s the last exam week, and Sichuan Middle School will have two updates in a short time...
