Chapter 586 I, Ma Su, Just Want to Die

Chapter 586 - I, Ma Di, just want to die

The so-called, Bo, Zhong, Shu, Ji and You.

Rumor has it that Ma's Wuchang...Ji and Bo are the longest, ah, wrong...it's Ma's Wuchang, and white eyebrows are the best.

The conversation between Guan Lin and Lu Xun was heard all by the four sons of the Ma family, the oldest and best - Ma Liang and Ma Ji Chang!

Speaking of which, he came here specially on Guan Yu's order... to tell Guan Lin in detail about the situation on the frontline battlefields in Xuchang, Wancheng, and Xiangfan.

This includes Mianshui Villa, military supplies and combat readiness, strategic depth, counter-Wei movements, troop deployment locations, grain and grass reserves, and air-raid shelters throughout.

All in all, these are all preparations for the future, cooperating with Bashu to conquer Hanzhong, and Jingzhou and Jiangdong to go north together.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely not be able to explain it clearly. It was precisely because of this that Ma Liang came, and because of Ma Liang's relationship with Guan Lin, he entered the government office without having to report it... and the soldiers and warriors didn't take it seriously.

But...it just happened that only a quarter of an hour had passed. I don't know what happened to Ma Liang. In Shiwu's eyes, his legs suddenly fell to the ground due to the violent stagger.

His face was as white as paper, and it was extremely difficult to see... It was as if the sky had suddenly fallen down.

"Uncle Ma?"

Guan Lin opened the door and blurted out in surprise when he saw it was Ma Liang.

"Yun Qi..." When Ma Liang raised his eyes and met Guan Lin's eyes, he seemed to suddenly see a beam of light in the dark night. He grabbed Guan Lin's thigh as if to hold it firmly. Hope so.

"If...if..." Ma Liang's tone was stagnant, "If it's true that Jia Xu is at Yangping Pass, and my young brother is so arrogant...how can he be Jia Xu's opponent? He...his life is in danger, his life is in danger. …Cloud flag, cloud flag…”

Ma Liang grabbed Guan Lin's thighs with both arms harder.

He said in confusion, misery and fear: "Yun Qi, since you know all this and have considered all this, then...then you must have a way to save my little brother...save my little brother! Yun Qi...I Please, please save him...save him! Only you can save his life...his life!"

this…

Guan Lin was a little moved by Ma Liang's extremely sincere words. In fact...if it weren't for Ma Liang, Guan Lin wouldn't have blinked an eye or raised an eyebrow at the death of Liu Feng and Ma Di.

The former is because Liu Feng's existence...is a threat to Guan Lin's disciple Liu Chan, who finally became enlightened, and is also a huge threat to the rejuvenated Han Dynasty.

The latter is Ma Su because... Guan Lin has never had a good impression of him, thinking that he exaggerates and is unreliable.

Instead of keeping it and existing it as a hidden danger to Shu Han anytime and anywhere, it would be better to...disappear, destroy it...to completely dissipate the soul and save Guan Lin from thinking about it.

In fact, speaking of it, Ma Di still has some merits in history. For example... he fixed the Nanman Meng Huo and proposed the strategy of "attacking the heart", which led to Zhuge Liang's deeds of capturing Meng seven times.

And his biggest black spot was his conceitedness. It was the failure of the street guarding pavilion that caused Zhuge Liang's most promising Northern Expedition, and the situation that was so hard to gain, turned into nothing overnight.

Of course, Zhuge Liang sent Ma Su to guard the street pavilion against all opinions. This failure... was also due to him.

But...according to the order of training the successors of the Jingzhou faction, and under the premise that Ma Liang died early, Zhuge Liang focused on training, and the only person guarding the street pavilion was Ma Di!

All we can say is... Ma Su's tragedy in history was caused by the current situation, and God did not help the Han Dynasty.

Of course, none of this matters.

The important thing is that now Ma Liang is kneeling on the ground, hugging Guan Lin's thigh. Looking at Ma Liang's expectant eyes, that full of "brotherly love", Guan Lin just wants to refuse...how can he say anything? Woolen cloth?

Whatever!

I can only say that he is lucky!

…Have such a biological brother.

However, even if he has to save Ma Su... it will not be easy for Guan Lin now, unless...

With this in mind, Guan Lin opened his mouth and said: "Master Ma, get up quickly... The defeat of your brother Ma Su and Liu Feng was because they did not see the situation clearly. It was the result of the situation and the general trend... In my opinion, Now that they have won the first battle, they must be quite proud, right? It's just... I'm afraid this resentment won't last long."

"Yun Qi...you, the relationship between you and me, the relationship between your father and me, don't mention those polite and false words again. As long as you can save my stupid brother's life, then you will be the great benefactor of my Ma family. …”

Ma Liang's tone was as eager as ever.

Guan Lin, on the other hand, after chirping at the bar, slowly opened his mouth: "To save Ma Su now, the actions on the battlefield can no longer be made up for and changed, so we can only start from within Ni Wei... We have to find a way to make Cao Cao think that this Ma Su is more useful alive than dead! He also has to make Ma Su realize that the road in front of him...is the only one left!"

Well…

Guan Lin blurted out these words, Ma Liangyou was confused, but Lu Xun suddenly opened his eyes, he thought of something.

Guan Lin's voice continued, "Master Ma, now... I need you to write a letter to Ma Su! You must persuade him to 'surrender' and rebel against Wei!"

ah…

Under Guan Lin's shocking words, Ma Liang's pupils widened.

He especially couldn't believe... Guan Lin actually meant - "surrender" to rebel against Wei?

So...the question is?

How to surrender?

Real surrender? Or a fake surrender?

…

…

The bloody setting sun filled the sky and dyed the battlefield under Yangping Pass red.

The offensive and defensive battle here continues...

The entire Yangping Pass was covered with black soldiers, rushing in like a tide. Accompanied by shouts at the top of their lungs, they climbed towards the Chengguan Pass without hesitation.

On the other hand, when Yang Ping closed the door...stones roared down like a rainstorm, and arrows flew in the air.

The fearless Wei soldiers had their faces covered with blood, their eyes showed the heroic spirit of fighting to the death, and they kept waving bloody weapons in their hands.

Just now, there had been a fight with daggers on the top of the city. A large number of soldiers fell to death in a pool of blood. Someone behind them raised their swords. The sound of fighting and the clash of jingos resounded throughout the world, everywhere. The mountains of corpses and seas of blood make one’s hair and bones tremble.

"Tap tap tap..."

The footsteps of the infantry seemed unusually crisp. They were Zhang He's troops. They arrived belatedly, but when they arrived at the top of the city... they looked down.

The endless battlefield was like a hell on earth, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood.

The thick smoke of gunpowder dispersed in the air, and the blazing fire illuminated the sky blood red...

The blood-stained soldiers were engaged in a last-ditch struggle, slashing fiercely with their swords while wild beast-like roars rolled out of their throats.

"Is the fight so fierce?"

Zhang He couldn't help but thought to himself, although he had broken an arm, and perhaps a large part of his martial arts, his command had not been affected, so... he was confident that he and the reinforcements of this group of infantry would be enough to stabilize the situation. The situation at Yangpingguan.

The enemy...can't attack!

Who would have thought that... just when Zhang He was about to order the entire army to rush for reinforcements.

Cao Zhenshen succeeded to the throne mysteriously and came cautiously.

Zhang He asked curiously: "General Zidan? Can you still stroll around like this now?"

"What are you afraid of?" Cao Zhen asked, and then smiled: "This Yangping Pass is guarded by my uncle Xiahou. Not to mention Liu Feng, even if Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and the big-eared thief came to attack in person, it would not be so easy to capture it! "

At this point, Cao Zhen added, and his tone suddenly became a little more determined: "General Junyi, now you have a great contribution in front of you, which can make up for your original guilt of losing the land of Sanba... It can also be done by Yixuena The shame of a broken arm... The junior asked General Junyi if he should do it or not?"

this…

Cao Zhen's words made Zhang He pause for a moment. While looking at the rotten battlefield, Zhang He said eagerly: "How late has it been? Are you, Cao Zidan, still making excuses? What on earth do you want me to do?"

"Building the plank road openly...secretly attacking Chencang!" Cao Zhen's eyes were bright. "This Ma Di is trying to imitate Han Xin, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. It's a pity...his plan to attack Yangping Pass openly and capture Dingjunshan secretly has been revealed by Jia Sir, you see through it, and now... that Ma Di is also rushing to Dingjun Mountain to occupy the high ground, and I have arranged for my troops to ambush Yangtianwa at the foot of Dingjun Mountain. This ambush, if General Junyi helps me, will be absolutely foolproof."

Well…

When these words came out of Cao Zhen's mouth, Zhang He's eyes changed when he looked at him again. He was good at "smart changes" and knew all the changes in the art of war. After thinking about it for a while, he went through the whole situation in his mind. Once again, in the end... he couldn't help but chanted, "Attack Yangpingguan in the open and Dingjun Mountain in secret, what a strategy..."

At this point, he raised his voice and asked Cao Zhen seriously, "Zidan, I just want to ask you, is it you who wants me to rush to support the army? Or Mr. Wenhe."

"That's Mr. Wenhe..."

Following Cao Zhen's last words.

"Okay!" Zhang He seemed to have finally made a decision. He directly ordered the soldiers and horses behind him, "There is no need to rush to Yangping Pass anymore. The generals will follow me to Dingjun Mountain to... capture Liu Bei's fake son alive!"

As if... the weight of the name Jia Xu, Jia Wen, at least in Zhang He's mind... is worth a gamble!

"But General..." a deputy general asked, "How should I explain to General Xiahou..."

"Just say it was Mr. Jia's order!" Zhang He replied casually: "If what I expected is true, General Xiahou... is also waiting for Mr. Jia to take action!"

…

…

——"Report, the battle at Yangpingguan is fierce, General Wu Yi specially asked to report the battle losses, saying that more than 6,000 troops have been lost...the enemy's damage is also very serious!"

——"Report, no ambush by the Wei army was found on any of the twelve hills including Dingjun Mountain. Even Cao Xiu and his troops who were originally stationed here retreated to Yangping Pass half a day ago to participate in the offensive and defensive battle at Yangping Pass!"

Two pieces of information reached the ears of Liu Feng and Ma Di.

Liu Feng quickly turned to look at Ma Su, and he sighed: "This fight is all General Wu Yi's blood... Every more soldier killed in the battle, he and Li Yanshangshu's Dongzhou troops will lose one soldier... This is impossible supplementary!"

What Liu Feng said is true...

Having said that, what Liu Feng can rely on now is the soldiers and horses he pulled from Jingzhou. These troops have fought in hundreds of battles in the south and north. They are also his direct descendants and can die for him.

The other group consisted of more than 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers under Li Yan and Wu Yi.

Considering that Liu Bei has now entered Shu, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng are responsible for recruiting, training, and managing the troops.

Therefore…

On Liu Feng's fight for the crown prince, Li Yan and Wu Yi's troops and horses...each one seemed extremely precious.

Hearing what Liu Feng meant, Ma Di paused.

However, his eyes were as firm as ever, and he said seriously, "General Wu Yi's sacrifice is worth it... Now, Yangping Pass is in an emergency, and Cao Xiu is also sure that we are not familiar with this mountain road and dare not rush into Dingjun Mountain." , so...withdraw all the enemy troops from the Bashan Mountains, which gives us a huge opportunity! We only need to cross Dingjun Mountain, bypass Yangping Pass, and attack Hanzhong from the back. Then Hanzhong A battle…it’s a matter of time and night!”

At this point, Ma Su's tone became more determined, "General... the success or failure of Hanzhong, your success or failure... now all depends on your thoughts."

this…

Liu Feng only hesitated briefly, his heart skipped a beat, and then with a "swish" sound, the sword was unsheathed.

"Pass my military order to attack Dingjun Mountain immediately. The whole army is only allowed to move forward, not to retreat -"

"It's time to defeat the enemy and make meritorious service today. All you gentlemen, follow me to the Dingjun Mountain and kill with me -"

Uplifting…

Because of Ma Su's analysis and Liu Feng's cry!

This army of hundreds of battles brought from Jingzhou suddenly became inspired.

——Destroy the enemy and make meritorious service today!

…

…

The third mountain range of the Bashan Mountains is also the highest one at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.

Jia Xu came to Yangtianwa here in a carriage. His eldest son, Jia Mu, who was the prince-in-law of the Wei Dynasty, and his second son, Jia Ji, who was in the army, both looked up at both sides with a bit of awe. of mountain peaks.

Jia Xu looked at Yangtianwa in front of him: "This is really a good place for military training surrounded by mountains and rivers!"

Indeed, as Jia Xu lamented, the Yangtianwa described in history books can garrison tens of thousands of troops. It was also the most important place for garrisoning and training troops during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

Of course, none of this matters...

Just after Jia Xu sighed with emotion.

"Report——" A soldier quickly reported: "Liu Feng's soldiers and horses are galloping towards this way..."

this…

Jia Mu and Jia Ji were both shocked when they heard this report.

In sharp contrast to the worries of his two sons, Jia Xu's expression remained as usual. He just asked lightly: "Have they discovered us?"

"No..." the soldier said truthfully: "Their detailed work was only a detailed exploration of the twelve peaks including Dingjun Mountain. They did not stop at the Yangtian Depression, let alone a detailed exploration..."

"Ah…"

Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled slightly, "After all, he is a young man, impetuous and eager to make achievements...and time is tight, so it is impossible to investigate carefully, and this...is precisely the reason why he is destined to fail!"

Speaking of this, Jia Xutian was a little emotional, and then asked his two sons, "I asked you to bury more dry firewood and other fire starters here? Have you buried them all?"

"Buried..." the eldest son Jia Mu said: "With the fire, only one road was left on Dingjun Mountain... The enemy army will also be trapped on the mountain by us, but... our soldiers and horses can only guard this side of the road down the mountain, and the other side. How to guard the way down the mountain on one side?"

The words of his son Jia Mu just blurted out.

"Report..." Another fast horse came. When he saw Jia Xu, the knight quickly got off his horse and said, "Mr. Jia, General Cao Zhen asked me to tell you that the troops and horses of General Cao Xiu and General Zhang He have joined together. Right at the entrance of the Bashan Mountains, it’s all at Mr. Jia’s disposal!”

The knight's words... seemed to be a direct response to Jamu's question.

Jia Xu didn't take it to heart. He said with a smile, "What about dispatching or not dispatching? Now we...are catching turtles in the urn, and also surrounding the mountains to recruit reinforcements...Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang should be the ones who are more worried than us!"

This... seems like a direct reply...

It seemed like a direct order!

The second son Jia Ji asked excitedly: "Dad...do you think Liu Feng and Ma Di were really forced to Dingjun Mountain?"

Jia Xu chanted four words leisurely, "Nine times out of ten!"

…

…

Jiangxia, Anlu City, the brush in Ma Liang's hand finally stopped.

The ink leaves a final deep mark on the white paper.

He put down his pen tiredly, and his eyes fell on the letter he had just finished. Every word in the letter is like blood dripping from his heart, carrying his deep worry and helplessness for his young brother Ma Su.

"well…"

With a long sigh, Ma Liang looked extremely painful and his eyes were full of powerlessness. He knew that this letter could not save Ma Su. The words in the letter, no matter how sincere or affectionate, could not change Ma Su's current situation. The only one who can save Ma Su is himself.

Only his... own decision.

"Surrender" to rebel against the Wei Dynasty is destined to be a more difficult and dangerous road... But now, whether it is his brother Ma Su, Ma Liang, or the Ma family... they have no choice!

"Where is Mr. Yunqi? Lead the way... I will hand the letter to him..."

Ma Liang asked the servant beside him.

The servant handed him over and walked in front.

The two of them walked to the official office together, but before they knocked on the door... they could only hear voices coming from inside.

"Yun Qi, isn't this too risky? Although Military Advisor Ma Liang loves his brother very much, it is not easy to protect Ma Su. It may even leak your plans in Ni Wei. This is not a good idea."

This is Lu Xun’s voice…

Obviously, Lu Xun was skeptical about the fact that Guan Lin was forced by Ma Liang's plea to save Ma Su and let Ma Su join the rebellion against Wei.

He felt...if it was just for Ma Su, then...it wasn't worth it.

On the other hand, Guan Lin's answer was... "There is no need to mention this matter... Ma Di is just stupid, just arrogant, not bad... nor disloyal! I didn't want to save him, I just gave him a choice. He can choose to give himself a chance!"

Just like Li Miao in the past, Guan Xing and Guan Lin in the past were willing to give them a chance... As for whether they can grasp it, it... depends on themselves.

Having said that, Guan Lin said this casually and did not expect Ma Liang to be outside the door.

But when he heard it in Ma Liang's ears, he was moved.

As the servant knocked on the door, Ma Liang entered. His eyes were a little dodgey, obviously... he was very embarrassed...

After hesitating for a long time, he just chanted a sentence.

"Yunqi, letter..."

"Don't worry, Commander Ma, I will spare no effort to do whatever I can..." Guan Lin took the letter and replied.

Ma Liang still didn't dare to raise his head. He bowed his hands respectfully to Guan Lin... and then turned around. But just as he stepped over the threshold, he stepped back again, and then bowed his hands solemnly again.

But still remained silent...

All is said and done!

…

…

——"Ahead is Yangtianwa, where you can climb Dingjun Mountain!"

When Liu Feng and Ma Su's troops arrived at "Yangtianwa", the "guide" began to report.

Ma Di stopped his horse and raised his head to observe the Dingjun Mountain mountain road and the valley. The mountain road was completely silent and very quiet... but there was something strange in the valley.

The trees were rustling, and there was some dry firewood in the thatched house... which couldn't be covered at all.

Ma Su asked: "Tanma? Have you ever explored this place?"

"No!" Tan Ma responded: "The general and the military advisor only said to explore twelve mountains. The time was tight and the task was heavy. We galloped all the way and did not stay too long in this deep depression..."

this…

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Ma Su's heart.

Seeing this, Liu Feng drove his horse to Ma Su, "You Chang? What's the matter?"

Ma Su suddenly clenched his teeth. He looked at the mountain road vigilantly, and also looked around at the Yangtianwa... After a while, he exclaimed: "Oops! General, we must retreat quickly——"

As he spoke, he quickly turned his head and looked warily at the intersection where he came from...

Who would have thought that just when his voice fell?

"put…"

A burst of vicissitudes of sound echoed in the valley, and then countless whistles rushed into the sky, and a shrill whistle sounded, and then...the valley was suddenly filled with shouts, and countless boulders, rolling logs, and fireballs fell from the mountain peaks!

"I fell into the trap... I fell into the trap..."

Ma Di roared at the top of his lungs, but at this moment, a huge fireball rolled down. The horse jumped back after being frightened, and Ma Di was directly thrown off the horse... The firewood everywhere was ignited by the fireball, and walls of fire instantly rose up. This invading Shu army was completely and completely wrapped up in it...

"Fire the arrow——"

"Fire the arrow——"

As two crisp sounds echoed in the valley again... countless rockets exploded rapidly.

On the other hand, there was already a little despair in Ma Su's eyes!

…
