Chapter 217: We Have One More Ally

Ma Liang is serious.

Everyone knows that Ma Jian is talented, and there is really no one in the world who can surpass Ma Jian in terms of military affairs.

However, Liu Chan, who has read the history books, has a strong resistance to Ma Tan's participation in the military, for fear that Ma Tan will inexplicably kill his army.

But Ma Liang has recently tried his best to be a cow and a horse for his father and son, and now he is so sincere, Liu Chan didn't know how to refuse for a while.

Although Ma Tan's level of joining the army is still remarkable, Liu Chan is afraid.

After a moment's hesitation, he whispered:

"I have another great use for young people, and this victory and defeat are all on young people."

Ma Liang raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:

"Sure enough, the son of the world has already planned, and he has a lot of worries."

This surprise attack by the Wei army has the shadow of the Wu army using traitors to raid Jiangling in history.

Liu Chan discussed with Fa Zheng for a long time on the way here, and decided that he couldn't just beat Wei Jun away with one punch from the enemy.

Otherwise, Cao Wei will come back next time.

He remembered that there was also a very reliable close ally to the east.

Sun quan.

Sun Quan is now in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and it is not easy to take advantage of the competition between Cao Wei and Ji Han to be able to cut down on food and clothing to stabilize the interior.

Liu Chan also didn't think they had the opportunity and ability to go on the expedition.

But the so-called three-point nail of the ship, Sun Quan's signboard is still very useful.

If he had the idea of sending troops in a hurry, Cao Wei would have to find a way to be careful.

It just so happened that Ma Jian had just returned from a business trip, so let him work hard and go to Soochow again.

Ma Tan was not satisfied with his previous mission results.

Although I met Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, and found Deng Ai's friends, there is still a long way to go before I find Deng Ai.

The heart attack explained by the prince is also average (Ma Jian thinks it is very ordinary), this time Liu Chan arrived, he was embarrassed to greet Liu Chan.

Unexpectedly, Ma Liang actually ran over happily and told Ma Jian that the prince was very satisfied with the results of his envoy to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei, the previous envoy, was thrilled, and in order to appease Ma Tan, the prince decided to send Ma Tan to Soochow to enjoy it.

Sun Quan called Liu Bei a minister, Ma Jian went to Dongwu to naturally receive a high-standard reception, and Sun Quan also had to pinch his nose and chat with Ma Jian Haosheng.

That's certainly a great thing.

But Ma Jian was quite reluctant in his heart.

First, he felt that he had not fulfilled the son's request.

Second, he felt that now that the battle clouds were treacherous, he should stand beside wise and resourceful people like Shizi and Fa Zheng to learn how to lead the army to fight and give advice to the Shizi.

Although it is also very important to send Sun Quan, this kind of juncture is a bit excessive.

Seeing Ma Yan's hesitation, Ma Liang smiled and said:

"Child, you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"I used to promote you to join the army in front of the prince, and I followed the prince to fight, with your talents, you naturally deserve to join the army at a young age.

But the prince hesitated slightly, but decisively chose to refuse,

He also told me that the victory or defeat of this battle was entrusted to Youchang, which shows his trust in Youchang! ”

The outcome of this battle......

Just leave it to me?

I, how can I be so virtuous, that I can be entrusted by the son of the world?

Although Ma Tan thinks very highly of himself, he never thought that Liu Chan could entrust him with such a big thing at once.

Could it be that he gained a lot from this mission,

Or......

By the way, the prince of the world has the ability to read people.

He must have discovered something special from me.

That's why I hurried back from Yizhou and entrusted me with a heavy responsibility.

This trust, how can this repay the world.

"The Prince...... What do you entrust me? ”

"Uh......" Ma Liang's old face turned white, and he said with a sad face,

"The prince said, let you go to Jiangdong to communicate with Sun Quan, and try to let him send troops north as soon as possible to plan the Northern Expedition."

"Clams?" Ma Jian was really stunned at this moment.

Even if Sun Quan wants to go on the Northern Expedition now, he is powerless.

Now that the mountains in Jiangdong are frequently rebelling, Sun Quan can't suppress them, so he can only firmly hold the two key points of Weisu and Xiakou to prevent Cao Wei from crossing the river and taking advantage of the fire to rob.

With Sun Quan's emotional intelligence, he will definitely not explicitly refuse Ma Tan, but it is just a matter of sending a few people to take a walk outside Hefei City.

It didn't make a difference to the situation at all.

If the prince doesn't value Ma Tan's talent, it's understandable that he just casually arranged a task for Ma Tan to kill time.

But Ma Jian believes that the prince has high hopes for himself.

Presumably......

Well, presumably the prince asked me to use the method of attacking the heart again.

The navy of Jiangling was hurriedly assembled under the dispatch of Ding Li and others, and Liu Chan was very busy.

Ma Tan came to ask him for advice, and Liu Chan could only tell the truth.

"I also know that it is not easy to persuade Sun Quan to send troops this time, and you can do your best.

Luo Tong, the governor of the Wet Beard, is friendly to me, and if he is in trouble in Jiangdong, he can contact this person.

is still the same sentence, even if it doesn't work, you must retreat with your whole body, and don't embarrass yourself too much.

When the Cao army is broken, our army will drink and celebrate together! ”

Ma Tan suddenly realized and said solemnly:

"Thank you for the guidance of the prince, the envoy will definitely follow the guidance of the prince and live up to the mission."

Mi Fang heard that Liu Chan was going to wave a large army to fight against the Wei army, and insisted that Liu Chan take at least 30,000 people to the battle-

Now that Gangneung is prosperous, he can still take these people.

But Liu Chan thought about it for a while, and still chose to only take 10,000 people to attack.

He still remembered that when he had just led the troops last year, Zhuge Qiao had said why Cao Wei had chosen to evacuate Hanzhong in May.

Spring ploughing is the most important event of the year in an agrarian society.

Cao Cao knew that Hanzhong could not hold it and had to fight against Liu Bei, firstly, because he was fighting a little higher, and secondly, he was preparing to waste a large amount of young and strong labor of the Han army in Hanzhong, so as to completely delay the spring ploughing in Yizhou.

Spring planting is almost over in May, and it's too late to plant anything.

Cao Cao's strategy was very successful.

Last year, Yizhou's livelihood was very difficult, and Liu Bei was unable to even provide effective support during Liu Chan's most difficult time.

And Cao Wei chose to do it at this time, which is obviously a repeat of the old trick.

They were prepared to weaken Liu Chan's progress in spring ploughing in Jiangling as much as possible,

Liu Chan threw 10,000 people into the Xiangyang battlefield, that is, 10,000 fewer laborers.

If you invest 30,000 ......

The consequences are unimaginable.

"10,000 horses, more than enough!"

Looking at Mi Fang's rather worried gaze, he said with a straight face:

"Uncle, rest assured, with my mother in heaven,

I will win this battle and will return soon. ”

Mi Fang nodded and said with a wry smile:

"Say, speak...... Adou, no, with the blessing of Haotian God, the son of the world will definitely be able to win a big victory.

When the son of the world comes back, I ...... I'm going to prepare for my life and ask for credit for the son. ”

What kind of virtue is Mi Fang in history, there is no need for more popular science.

But since Liu Chan was stationed in Jiangling, Mi Fang has indeed been conscientious.

Guan Yu was stationed in Xiangyang, Liu Chan did not understand government affairs, and Yu did not have a serious official body before turning over.

Mi Fang cooperated with Ma Liang and made great contributions to the construction of Jiangling.

The temptation of power to men is not comparable to money,

Mi Fang, who is in charge, now can't look down on the small profits of doing business with Soochow.

And with Liu Chan's active promotion, he can already do other businesses.

For example, these raw materials for paper and engraving, the wealthy people in Jingzhou naturally disdain to collect them.

Mi Fang discovered the way to make money from it early.

While providing raw materials to several major clans, he also helped the clans underwrite paper and printed books.

Mi Fang's enthusiasm allows these clans to make money lying down, and they can make money without having to pay for it, which is really cool.

And Mi Fang himself also made a lot of money, both sides were happy, driven by interests, these people even began to take the initiative to study how to improve the wood and paper materials of engraving.

Some people in the family have even tried to add a little tung oil to the ink, and stir it to make an ink that is more suitable for printing.

It wasn't until this time that Liu Chan realized that his interests had been closely related to many people in the days he had been tossing in Jingzhou.

Whether it is his father's Yuancong, the family of Jingzhou or his own team, they have all gained huge benefits from the land of Jingzhou.

For this reason, they must also protect themselves, and this battle must be won.

"Rest assured, this battle will be victorious,

Since Cao Jun wants to come to die, we will kill him without leaving a piece of armor, Xiaoxing and Spring and Autumn take the lead, and we will set off for the north today! ”

Ding Li, who couldn't bear it anymore, let out an angry roar and said loudly:

"I am willing to kill the enemy with the son of the world and never retreat!"

Yu Tuo's original task was to stay in the rear, but it can be seen that Liu Chan went on the expedition, and he remembered some past events, so he hurriedly gave up:

"I have been idle recently, and I also went out with the prince, and the prince always has some literary affairs, so it is not good to trouble the prince to bother with it."

At that time, Yu Chuan was not by his side when Sun Ce was assassinated, and Yu Tuo has been haunted by it for so many years.

If he had followed, maybe everything would have been different.

Liu Chan smiled and thanked Yu Guo for his kindness.

"No, this battle is easy to fight, at most one month, and it will be able to return.

::Spring ploughing is a major event in people's livelihood, and Mr. Zhongxiang needs to bother.

In another year, I will go north in a big way, and then ask my husband to draw a plan for me. ”
