Chapter 638 Zhuge Governs Guandong

Just as Ma Su was constantly dispatching troops and generals, he was also thinking about why the Luoyang clans had no temper. In the eastern capital Luoyang, Zhuge Liang was sitting in the main hall, meeting with the representatives of the big and small clans in Luoyang calmly.

In fact, as soon as Ma Su left Luoyang, someone wanted to make trouble. Especially when Ma Su was fighting in Yanzhou, the Luoyang clans had basically colluded.

Unfortunately, at this critical juncture, Zhuge Liang suddenly came to Luoyang from Chang'an. Then the Sima family in Henei rebelled, and the waves that had just been raised in Luoyang were quickly settled.

"Everyone, I know that the unreasonable massacre of the general made you panic, which is human nature. I don't support him doing this. This time I came to Luoyang, I was ordered to keep an eye on him and prohibit Youchang from continuing to make trouble."

Zhuge Liang looked at the representatives of the clans sitting below, most of whom looked nervous and frightened, and knew how much Ma Su's deterrence was to them. So he spoke calmly, expressing his position to the Luoyang nobles in an almost appeasing manner.

"Liang swears in the name of the prime minister that he will never let Youchang make trouble in Guandong again!"

"As for you all... Your Majesty is kind and does not want to see the former officials of the Later Han Dynasty suffer, and is willing to give you a way to serve as officials."

"And now Luoyang is in chaos, and the entire Sizhou is full of bandits. Today, the emperor ordered 20,000 northern troops to enter Luoyang, which is also a guarantee for your safety."

"For Liang's sake, let's just stop with this."

Zhuge Liang's words were both soft and hard, and he quickly calmed down the Luoyang nobles with his words of both luring and threatening. Many representatives of the nobles who originally had a deep hatred with Ma Su also flickered their eyes and began to weigh the pros and cons.

They could also see that Zhuge Liang and Ma Su were playing a double act. One played the white face and the other played the red face, and they slaughtered the Luoyang nobles like pigs.

But when the situation is stronger than people, even if you see everything clearly, you have to accept the other party's proposal.

For example, now, because of Ma Su's deterrence, the Luoyang clans have hatred for him. But the appearance of Zhuge Liang gave them a glimmer of hope, making some people unwilling to continue to risk their lives.

Especially Zhuge Liang has always had a very good reputation, and he is the only one who can control Ma Su for so many years. So, his words quickly poured cold water on Luoyang, a powder keg that was about to explode.

"With the prime minister's guarantee! We have no complaints!"

Finally, someone took the lead in expressing his position and bowed to Zhuge Liang.

"We trust the credibility of Prime Minister Zhuge!"

"We have no grudges with the general, and it is better to resolve the grudges than to make them..."

"It's all for the Han Dynasty. The general is true, and we can understand it!"

With Zhuge Liang's appeasement, the major families in Luoyang gradually settled down. And the increasingly tense atmosphere in Sizhou gradually eased after the prime minister's mansion was occupied.

But even so, Zhuge Liang's mood did not improve, and he kept the chicken feather Zen in his hand.

"How is Youchang's progress?"

"Report to the Prime Minister, the general is making rapid progress, and the Central Plains surrendered. Now the main force of the Han army is in a stalemate with the Wei army at Baimajin, and the other part is fighting with the Wei army in Langya!"

"He still has the mood to fight? Does he know that he almost died in Guandong?" Zhuge Liang was almost laughed at by Ma Su's deployment. If he could do it, he really wanted to beat Ma Su right now.

"There are only 100,000 people on the front line, and he used all of them without leaving any reserve troops. If I don't come to Luoyang in time, and Sizhou is in chaos again, does he want to take the prince with him to die?"

"What did I tell him before departure! Steady and steady! Why didn't Youchang listen to any advice for so many years!"

"Indeed, Youchang is indeed too risky, and he deserves it!" An old general next to him nodded and said with deep sympathy.

Then Zhuge Liang looked at him and said expressionlessly,

"Wenchang, you are not much more stable than Youchang!"

"Ahem... after all, I am more stable than Youchang." Wei Yan scratched his head awkwardly, but still said stubbornly.

Zhuge Liang shook his head gently and said nothing.

To be honest, Wei Yan is not as good as Ma Su. At least Ma Su has more friends than Wei Yan.

This time Zhuge Liang suddenly visited Dongdu because he really couldn't stand Ma Su's adventure. He led hundreds of thousands of people to fight outside, but he didn't even care about his family and let go.

Although Zhuge Liang knew Ma Su well, he was probably doing it on purpose. But it was precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang was even more angry.

You will die if you don't play around, right? It's already a sure win, but you have to make some waves.

As early as ten years ago, Zhuge Liang had been worried that Ma Su would be too adventurous after becoming a general. Now it seems that all the worries at the beginning were unnecessary. After all, he was so worried, but he still couldn't stop Ma Su from committing suicide...

There was no way. Zhuge Liang could only think that after Chang'an was basically stabilized, he would quickly bring the Prime Minister's Mansion to Guandong to help.

Fortunately, he came in time and Sizhou did not get into chaos. But even so, Zhuge Liang's desire to beat Ma Su was still not extinguished, but even stronger.

"Prime Minister, the envoys of Youchang have just returned, and they will continue to dispatch troops from Luoyang to help. Prime Minister, how about..." Wei Yan came over at this time and suggested to Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"Luoyang has not been completely settled yet, and the newly surrendered Yuzhou and Xuzhou need to be appeased. I can't get away." Zhuge Liang naturally saw Wei Yan's instigation, but just shook his head gently.

"What's more, I told Youchang that I would not ask about military affairs from now on, and I can't break my promise!"

When Zhuge Liang said this, Wei Yan's eyes turned red with envy.

When he applied to lead the army alone, Zhuge Liang was worried anyway. In the end, it was Ma Su's turn. Even though he was so reckless, Zhuge Liang never asked about it.

This is the difference!

"By the way, although I won't go, Wenchang, you should take Ma Dai to calm down You Chang. By the way, take that unit with you. You Chang has been in a standoff for three months without any results, so it may be necessary."

While Zhuge Liang was busy with his official duties again, he suddenly opened his mouth to add.

"Although the pseudo-Wei has retreated to Hebei, the natural barrier of southern Qi is not so easy to cross."

Wei Yan: "..."

"Prime Minister! Are you still in need of apprentices?"

"Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Facts have proved that Zhuge Liang's arrival in Guandong was very timely.

After stabilizing Sizhou in the Prime Minister's Office, Zhuge Liang could quickly free up his hands to appease the newly surrendered three states in the Central Plains. If there was no Zhuge Liang, Ma Su would have to conquer Qingzhou before he could have a chance to digest these territories.

By that time, the account books would probably be destroyed a lot, and the workload would be even greater.

However, Zhuge Liang's coming to Guandong also made some people happy and some worried. Just taking Ji Han as an example, Ma Su was a little panicked.
