Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 389 The Sima Family’s Investment Algorithm

At this moment, the entire Chang'an lobby was silent, and everyone was surprisingly silent when facing the situation in front of them.

At present, the total number of troops in Guanzhong is only 120,000, and this is only after Sima Yi spent two years in the field. Even with the troops and horses that Sima Fu is about to support, the number of available troops at the moment is less than 150,000.

In the past two years, the Han army has fought so fiercely, and its strength has been expanding rapidly. According to Sima Yi's estimation, the next Northern Expedition will have at least 100,000 troops.

On paper, the Guanzhong defenders still seemed to have a numerical advantage. However, about 20,000 of the soldiers were newly recruited soldiers from the Kanto region, and their combat effectiveness was difficult to guarantee. Not all of the remaining 100,000 soldiers were locals from Guanzhong. A considerable number of soldiers were from Yongzhou and Guanxi.

Their fighting will is obviously not ideal, which is also a headache for the generals in Guanzhong.

In the direction of Bingzhou, Wang Jing, the governor of Bingzhou, and the garrison at Xiaoguan will fight alongside them. In the past two years, the Shu Han's power in the north has developed very rapidly, and it has gathered huge power through military formations and blood taxes.

At this moment, both Bingzhou and Youzhou are facing military pressure from the Shu army in the north. Therefore, although the Bingzhou Army will fight alongside them in name, in fact it can only provide all support except help.

Obviously, Sima Yi is now facing a very troublesome mess.

"It's a pity that Bo Dao died in Chencang. Although he likes women to pretend to be Longyang, he is indeed the best in Guanzhong in defending the city and resisting enemies." Guo Huai shook his head gently and said with some sadness.

As a senior general in Guanzhong, Guo Huai had a deep understanding of the abilities of the two generals who were the first to die in Ma Su's hands. Especially Hao Zhao. If he was still alive and had him guarding one place, he would at least make the Shu army helpless.

"What's there to regret? Even without General Hao, I can still make Ma Su unable to move forward." Sima Yi suddenly said, looking at everyone present with a calm expression, and then continued to give instructions,

"Guo Huai, you are responsible for guarding the martial arts and preventing the Shu army from coming out of Baoxie Road!"

"only!"

"Chen Tai led his troops to camp on the north bank of the Weishui River, and he and Xiao Guan used the horns to divide the Shu army!"

"Captain, this..."

"Hu Zun is responsible for guarding Wuguan and preventing the Shu army from raiding Guanzhong from Nanyang. The other generals will stay in Chang'an and follow me to lead the army to resist the Shu army. We must ensure that the Shu army returns with a great defeat!"

"After the Shu army goes to war, everyone must be prepared to defend against the enemy!"

"only!"

Sima Yi quickly issued the order and adjusted the strategic deployment of the entire Guanzhong. Guo Huai and Chen Tai, who had fought with Ma Su and were familiar with this madman's fighting style, were put in charge of guarding the two front lines in Guanzhong.

At the same time, Hu Zun, a junior general, was put in charge of Wuguan, and Sun Li and others who could fight were placed on the front line.

Under such an arrangement, although it is difficult for the Wei army to do anything, it is certainly stable enough.

Everyone except Chen Tai agreed to this arrangement. Although Chen Tai was dissatisfied, he had already spoken out to Sima Yi, so his objection was meaningless.

However, after everyone exited, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were left behind by Sima Yi. After the generals exited, Sima Yi instructed his men to close the door, and then looked at Master Sima.

"Master, there is an important task for you to perform now. Now take my warrant and go to Tongguan. Your uncle Sima Fu should have arrived there. You are ordered to go and work in the army!"

"Laojun, please..." Sima Zhao immediately volunteered to ask for help.

"Zhao, father hasn't finished speaking yet." Sima Master interrupted Sima Zhao with a calm face, and looked at his father who had something to say with bright eyes.

Sima Yi nodded slightly, and then continued,

"After meeting your uncle, tell him not to come to Chang'an with his troops, but to go directly to Wugong to defend with Guo Huai. If our army loses this battle and Chang'an falls, he and Sima Wang will not need to return to Luoyang. "

"Children in Luoyang don't have to worry. I'll be in charge of everything and everything will be fine."

"Your uncle is as smart as me. I believe he can understand what I mean."

After Sima Yi finished speaking, he stood up from his sleeves and entered behind the screen lightly. Only Sima Master and Sima Zhao were left sitting there with different expressions.

The Sima family's algorithm for troubled times has always been the most ruthless way of playing the game. What they pay attention to is that no eggs can be put in one basket at any time.

Although Cao Rui favored Sima Yi so much and was so favored, do you want to rely on this to make Sima a high-ranking official like Zhuge Liang and become a great Wei Guzhong?

I want to eat shit!

The arrangement for Sima Fu and his son is a new round of investment by the Sima family. The Sima family officially included Shu Han in its investment scope and began to separate the family to leave a way out for themselves.

Sima Yi believed that Sima Fu would carry out any arrangement he made and strictly implement it.

Their Sima family has always been like this.

Sima Yi began to make secret plans, and Ma Di also slowly started his printing and font research in Chengdu to waste time.

After Qin Mi was attracted by Ma Su's plan, he immediately changed his perspective and fully supported Ma Su's word-making movement. When this matter came to the attention of the Chancellery, Qiao Zhou, the number one Confucian scholar in the Chancellery, was a rare and unequivocal supporter of Ma Di.

"This is a very auspicious event. It is blessed by the heavenly phenomena, and it is also based on His Majesty's will. The Crown Prince and Tutor have done everything with integrity and etiquette!" Qiao Zhou said righteously, and his attitude was even firmer than Fei Yi and Jiang Wan.

With Qiao Zhou as a traitor, the local Confucian clans could not afford to cause trouble.

However, this group of Confucian scholars were still unconvinced, and began to make trouble for Ma Di overtly and covertly. The most intuitive manifestation is that the professors and doctors of Imperial College are all working as foreigners, and the tasks assigned by Ma Su are pushed back again and again.

Because although Ma Su himself was a Confucian scholar, he had been deeply involved in officialdom and battlefields since he started his career. Ma Su basically didn’t have a deep involvement in Confucianism, so this group of Confucianists prepared non-violent non-cooperation to resist Ma Su.

Even if you, Ma Su, are good at fighting, what will happen if you are no longer good at politics? Regarding Confucian matters, without our cooperation and consent, you are nothing.

Then, Ma Su showed these Confucian scholars what efficiency meant. With just a few cooperating bachelors, Ma Su quickly created more than a thousand simplified regular script fonts in just half a month.

Not only is it fast, but the glyph is so simple and attractive that you really can’t find any thorns in it.

Seeing the disbelieving looks in the eyes of the Confucian scholars, Ma Di couldn't help but take a strategic step back.

Do you understand what the wisdom of future generations is?

While Ma Su continued to humiliate these Confucian scholars who relied on their elders and betrayed them in Confucianism, the war machine of the Shu Han Dynasty finally began to operate at full capacity. Countless supplies of food and weapons began to be continuously transported to Yongliang, and the soldiers began to practice day and night when they had nothing to do.

As long as the autumn harvest arrives, the battle in Guanzhong will begin.

However, at this juncture, something suddenly happened behind Shuhan.

"Urgent report! Nanman rebels! Li Yi, the governor of Jianning County, died in battle. Nanzhong is in emergency!"
