Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"Are you from Runan?"

Li Mu was slightly startled and looked at the young man who was pulled out by Zhang Yi.

He has an ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes. No matter from which point of view, he is just an ordinary commoner.

However, after working as a county guard for so many years and still being the heir to Ma Di's gentlemanly ways, Li Mu naturally would not look down on Bu Yi. He also bowed to the young man and asked kindly,

"What talents do you have, can I be heard by someone?"

"I...I..." The young man slurred his words as soon as he opened his mouth and stammered. Li Mudu frowned slightly at the incoherent words and words that were difficult to express clearly.

I have to say, stuttering is really unpleasant.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi knew the details of this young man, so he immediately held him down and helped explain with a smile.

"His name is Deng Fan. He is a new barbarian from Nanyang. He was also an old citizen who fled with the late emperor in the past. However, due to the Dangyang War, Deng Fan and his family were kidnapped by Cao thieves and moved to Runan to farm for many years."

"Before the envoy attacked Nanyang, he had been farming in the Huainan area for more than ten years, and he was considered to be a veteran of the field. When he heard that our Han troops had left Nanyang and Huainan was empty, he took the initiative to go south and join the Han Dynasty."

"He was previously arranged by the Prime Minister's Office to recuperate in Guanghan County, and his ability was recognized by Governor He. Before he came, Deng Fan was already the Guanghan County Army Commander, the leading military talent in Guanghan County."

"So Li Fujun, don't worry, his ability will definitely pass the test!"

"Really?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. Not only because of Deng Fan's ability, but also because of his identity as a new citizen of the old country.

Li Mu knew the story of the late emperor and his people crossing the river. Unfortunately, he fled too hastily and was eventually caught up by Cao Cao. More than 100,000 people who followed the late emperor were kidnapped by Cao's army. It is said that they were all thrown into farming in Huainan.

The farming of Cao Wei was different from that of Shu Han. They did not regard the farming people as human beings at all. Basically, more than half of the food harvested every year will be taken away by the government, and they will be exploited to the maximum extent.

Because of this, Li Mu naturally felt more sympathy and favor after learning about Deng Fan's identity.

After all, they were followers of the late emperor in the past, and they were also old people of the Han Dynasty.

After adding Zhang Yi's recommendation, Li Mu pondered for a long time before making a decision.

"In this case, I will first appoint you as the captain of the field camp, lead a group of troops to the Jincheng military camp, and give you the power to recruit two thousand troops. If you do well, I will recommend you to the envoy later."

Deng Fan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the treatment given by Li Mu. He quickly saluted Li Mu and expressed his gratitude to Mr. Li Fu for his important use.

He had worked in Huainan for so long and had always been a farm official. Not to mention military training, Cao Wei didn't even give him a chance to become an official.

This made Deng Fan very dissatisfied. Like Jiang Wei, he was particularly eager to be promoted and make contributions.

Therefore, when Guanqiu Jian led the troops stationed in Huainan to go south to attack Ma Su, the blockade of Huainan became less strict. Xiao Deng of Xinye heard that there was still a chance for commoners to be promoted in Shu Han, so he abandoned his family and ran away without saying a word.

He was right in his bet, and Shu Han did give Deng Fan a chance. After arriving in Guanghan County and being appointed as the head of the field, Deng Fan was promoted all the way and became a captain in just two years.

Now he was brought to Liangzhou by Zhang Yi, and he became a captain as soon as he came up, and he could train two thousand troops.

This is something that Cao Wei would never dare to think about.

After stammeringly accepting Li Mu's personnel appointment, Deng Fan officially became a civil servant in Shu Han's field in Liangzhou. However, this man didn't feel that this was his end. He had already begun to secretly plan how to attract the attention of the superiors.

It is said that Ma Su, the governor of Liangzhou, likes to promote capable people out of the norm. The petty official from Tianshui County followed Ma Su and became a general with no special title. Deng Fan felt that if he could be reused by Ma Su, he might be able to achieve success.

However, how to attract the attention of this big shot...

…………

…………

At this time, Ma Su, who was still presiding over the relocation of Qiang to farmland in Xiping, did not know that an SSR had already come to his door. At this moment, our Lord Ma is leading the cavalry to escort the Qiang people from various tribes to migrate out of the mountains.

I have to say that Ma Di was a little bit worried about the family background of this group of Qiang and Di people.

Historically, after Zhuge Liang's fourth Northern Expedition and the harvest of wheat in Longyou, Sima Yi almost starved to death when he went to Longyou. However, Guo Huai exploited the Qiang and Di tribes and forced them to provide military supplies to feed Sima Yi's tens of thousands of troops.

When Ma Su was beating up the Dong Qiang and gathering the Xianling Qiang, he thought this was bragging in the history books. These Qiang people are so poor that it is impossible for them to provide food to support tens of thousands of Wei troops.

It was only now, when Ma Su harvested the ginseng and langshao as the second Qiang, that he discovered that the Qiang family hiding in the mountains was really good. Bringing the cattle, sheep and food together, it seems that feeding tens of thousands of people is not a problem.

"You're careless. In Longxi County, we should have burned and looted the Qiang before, so there wouldn't have been so much trouble." Ma Su slapped his thigh and felt that the suppression of the Qiang in Longyou was not ruthless enough.

There are so many big dog owners left to be wiped out, and there are still many areas where I am unqualified in my work.

However, when Ma Su's western Qiang farmland was in great prosperity, he received news from Chen Zhi.

"Is there any country in the Western Region that refuses to accept it?" Ma Di squinted his eyes and suddenly felt his whole body sober.

Come to life!

"I report to you, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. Some small countries lack awe of the Han Dynasty. Mr. Chen Fu went to reorganize the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but some countries are no longer willing to accept jurisdiction." The messenger told the specific situation. He honestly reported to Ma Su and reported Chen Zhi's difficulties.

Chen Zhi is a good old man and a social butterfly like Fei Yi. He arrived in Dunhuang and was ordered to rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions. His attitude has always been mild.

The good attitude appeased most of the small countries in the Western Region, and most of these small countries were willing to renew their relationship with the Han Dynasty.

However, some small countries are not so willing, and are worried that Shu Han will force them to pay money and fight like Sima Yi. Therefore, when Chen Zhi was carrying out his work, he was uncooperative and uncompromising with the Han envoys.

But this is normal. Although Han envoys could be arrogant and destroy the country during the prosperous Han Dynasty, that was already a hundred years ago. The Han Dynasty has been in civil strife for hundreds of years, and has long lost its former prestige in front of the countries in the Western Regions.

In addition, the Han-Wei war has lasted for many years and the situation is still unclear. It is normal for some small countries in the Western Region to have inappropriate thoughts.

But although it's normal, it doesn't mean that Ma Su will spoil them. Now the Western Region is a very important trade route for the Shu Han.

A few days ago, Prime Minister Zhuge sent someone to see him, hoping to discuss a plan to restart the northwest trade route.

The most important thing to ensure that this trade route can run smoothly is the surrender and cooperation of the countries in the Western Regions.

So after briefly weighing the pros and cons, Ma Su immediately made a bold decision.

He is going to personally send an envoy (beat him up) to the Western Regions
