After listening to Wang Ping's words, Ma Jian basically understood the cause and effect, and even he seemed to figure out why His Majesty ordered him to save him.

This involves whether the Shu army can be ordered and prohibited in the future, and whether it can continue to maintain the situation that Zhuge Liang said is the same.

As for his horse, he is just an example.

"It's a pity that I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the country but can't, it's really a sad thing!" Ma Jian sighed and put on an attitude of worrying about the country and the people.

In other words, if you put aside his position that he wants to die, Ma Jian himself is pessimistic about the future of Shu Han.

With the national strength of Shu Han, it is still too naïve to want to break hands with Wei State.

If it was the national strength before the Battle of Yiling, it might still be possible. At that time, there were a large number of famous generals and virtuous ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty, and tens of thousands of elite troops still had local prestige.

"The patriotic belief of the young Chang Zhongjun is admirable, but it is a pity that you disobey the military order is a fact. Even if His Majesty protects you, it is impossible for the prime minister to let you continue to lead the troops in a short time. Wang spread his hands and said that he could not help Ma Yan's complaints.

"Next, the prime minister will soon send troops to the west to conquer Longxi County, and conquer the last piece that is still stubbornly resisting Falong County."

"If you came according to the prime minister's intentions, although you don't have great military achievements now, you can definitely be the coach of this expedition to the west."

This is not nonsense, the original selection of Ma Tan as the street guard was not decided by the prime minister with a pat on the head. Before Ma Jian arrived at the military tent, Wei Yan and Wu Yi had already asked for instructions, but it was a pity that the prime minister had to use Ma Tan, and at first glance, he was cultivating for the military lineage.

If he had honestly gone to the street pavilion at the beginning, now Ma Jian had designated the place to replace Wei Yan as the vanguard commander.

As a result, Ma Jian was so tossed, Zhuge Liang was afraid that he would not dare to use him for a few years.

"How do I know the level of the Wei army, if I know that I might as well defend the city honestly." Hearing Wang Ping's words, Ma Jian felt a pain in his eyes.

If he knew that Zhang He was immortal at this level, he wouldn't want to do it.

Now he can't lead the troops to fight in a short time, so he can only think of other ways to die.

"Wait, you just said that the prime minister still wants to lead the troops to the west?" Ma Jian suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at Wang Ping and asked.

"That's right, go west to Longxi County." Wang Ping nodded and replied.

Under Wang Ping's explanation, Ma Jian learned about the current situation in Longxi.

There are a total of five counties in Longxi, which are under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, but there is no independent military region, and the state soldiers are all in Guanzhong Sanfu.

Because Longxi was unprepared in terms of both strength and combat readiness, Longxi lacked the minimum psychological preparation when the Shu army fell from the sky.

When the Shu army arrived, the Taishou of Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding ran away without saying a word, and the rest of the people surrendered to the Shu army. However, the Taishou of Longxi County and Guangwei County were much tougher, and they gritted their teeth and refused to surrender in the face of the surrender of the Shu army.

During the period when Ma Tan guarded the street pavilion, the main force of the Shu army, in addition to besieging Qishan Fort and Shangqi, the main forces were used to attack Guangwei County.

Now the entire territory of Guangwei County has been assessed, and Longdao has also been cut off. Only Longxi County refused to surrender, so Zhuge Liang is now preparing to gather a large army to go to the crusade.

After listening to Wang Ping's explanation, Ma Yan's eyes gradually lit up, and he seemed to see a new way to die.

"I must go and meet the prime minister immediately, Zijun is here waiting for me to come back!"

Ma Jian stood up suddenly, arched his hand at Wang Ping and left quickly.

"Prime Minister, now that the counties of Longxi have basically stabilized, most of the recalcitrant ones have surrendered."

At this time, in the camp of the Shu army, Wu Yi, the general of the cavalry, was reporting the results to Zhuge Liang. It can be seen from Wu Yi's excited tone that Shu will be very satisfied with this victory.

"A total of more than 20,000 puppet Wei soldiers surrendered, and the captured baggage is still being counted, and the population of the county is about 500,000 ......."

"This is the biggest victory of our Han since the Battle of Hanzhong."

"However, Longxi County still insists on not surrendering, and the envoy sent recently to persuade him to surrender has even been threatened to behead him if he comes again."

Zhuge Liang listened to Wu Yi's report and issued a new order while nodding.

Zhuge Liang is very good at decentralizing power, but he has to do his own criminal law and logistics management in the army. In order to save time, he had to listen to the report and do the work at the same time.

Zhuge Liang is awesome, and he will have a nervous breakdown early.

"The puppet Wei die-loyalists in Longxi County are not to be worried, and after a few days, they will send troops to fight, and the battle can be flattened."

Just when Zhuge Liang gave the order, the soldiers suddenly walked in,

"Prime Minister, Ma Jian has something to see when he joins the army."

"Ma Yan?" Zhuge Liang's face was gloomy at the mention of this name, but he still waved his hand and said.

"Let him in."

"Yui!"

Soon Ma Tan was led into the military tent and saluted Zhuge Liang respectfully.

"See Prime Minister."

"Ma Yan, why don't you go back to work honestly, what are you doing here?" Zhuge Liang's face was not good, and he said in a flat tone.

"Prime Minister, this time I came specifically for the affairs of Longxi County." Ma Tan bowed his hand and bowed again, and said with a straight face.

"I heard that the prime minister was going to conquer Longxi County in the near future, and I thought that this matter was inappropriate, so I came to see him."

"Wrong?" Zhuge Liang gently put down the bamboo slip in his hand and gestured to Wu Yi with his eyes, Wu Yi immediately understood, turned around and left the military tent.

"What do you think is wrong?"

"Longxi County is an important border town, is the westernmost part of the entire Yongzhou, remote and difficult to walk and the city wall is steep. If this barren land is not close to the prime minister, it will not be easy to calm down, but it is not appropriate for the prime minister to go to the prime minister."

"Now the whole Longxi is the time when the prime minister needs to be pacified the most, if the prime minister leads a large army to conquest, I am afraid that those who have a heart in Longxi will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

Ma Tan said earnestly as he searched his stomach for more reasons to support his argument.

"So in a certain opinion, in the current situation, the prime minister's blind date is overkill."

"Then in the eyes of young Chang, how should this matter be handled?" Zhuge Liang's expression was still calm, and he asked lightly.

"It's still the same strategy as before, attacking the city and attacking the heart." Ma Jian moved out of the Pingnanzhong strategy that he gave Zhuge Liang before.

"For Longxi County, Longdao is extinct, and it is a certainty that they will fall into isolation. Just send someone to persuade him, and Chen said that the pros and cons will definitely make him surrender. ”

"It's useless, I've already sent it." Zhuge Liang shook his head and waved his hand.

"Longxi Taishou You Chu has a firm attitude and insists on not surrendering, I sent someone to persuade him to surrender and was driven out of the city, and then sent someone to behead ......"

"It was the incompetence of the envoys sent by the prime minister that they did not explain the pros and cons to them." Ma Yan's expression suddenly straightened, and his waist straightened a little.

"It's better to let Tan go again, and he will definitely be able to persuade the Longxi Taishou with this three-inch incorruptible tongue to let him lay down his arms and surrender himself."

"In addition, I am willing to make a military order, and if you can't complete the task, you are willing to be dealt with by military law!"
