Chapter 14 Scolding Longxi Taishou
"Anyway, the people of Didao County have never had enough to eat? Why are they all at the point of queuing up to receive porridge? Ma Tan grabbed the Wei soldier who was leading the way, and asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, the soldier shook off Ma Tan's hand and glared angrily at Ma Tan.
"You still have the face to ask this? If it weren't for you Shu people to provoke the war, how would we starve? ”
"Huh? What does this matter to us? Ma Tan was scolded and stunned, and he didn't understand what he meant.
"Even if it's a war, you won't starve, will you? Is there not enough food to eat? ”
In Ma Yan's memory, fighting a war would not affect the food of the people in the rear. In the past, Liu Bei spent two years with Cao Cao with 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and none of the people in Shu starved to death.
In these years, Shu Han has been at war for many years, but the ordinary people of Qianshou have not been hungry. Although the conscription is very heavy, the imperial court can still give some money to compensate for the meal.
This is also the main reason why the population of Shu Han is less than two million, but the mobilization of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses is still internally stable.
"Originally, although our harvest in Longyou was not good, the people were still enough to eat and starve. As a result, you Shu people did not stay honestly in your own territory, and suddenly sent to invade our Wei State. The soldier looked very hated Ma Jian and the others, and said scoldingly.
"In order to defend against your Shu people, Taishou had to requisition the people's grain for unified distribution. Now at least nearly a thousand people have starved to death in the city, and it is all caused by you Shu people! ”
"If I hadn't been too stubborn, I would have killed you now!"
"Cut into the army? Try it! At this time, Yao Hu suddenly blocked in front of Ma Yan, and looked at the soldier with an unkind face.
"With me Yao Hu here, see who dares to hurt and join the army."
Shocked by Yao Hu's murderous aura, the soldier took two steps back, but still glanced at Ma Jian resentfully.
"Hmph, you Shu people are also capable of this, but we Wei people are not afraid of you!"
Seeing the surrounding scenes, as well as the soldier's resentful cursing, Ma Jian suddenly fell silent.
"Are the counties of Longxi County already like this? If it continues like this, it will be easy to eat each other. Ma Yan's face slowly became a little gloomy, and he had never heard of the shock that he had seen with his own eyes.
At the same time, Ma Jian also recalled that Shu Han has always been able to fight wars without working the people. During the battle of Liu Bei and Hanzhong, it was Zhuge Liang who had been desperately reforming governance in Chengdu, and used his strong strength to ensure that the war would not hurt the people.
But how many Zhuge Liang are there in the world? Who else but him can guarantee that the people will not be bothered to start a war?
Thinking of this, Ma Tan's face became more and more gloomy, and his mentality quietly changed at this time.
"Join the army, don't be too angry, if you can't be angry, I'll behead this outrageous guy." Yao Hu couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw Ma Yan's face, and asked carefully.
"No, I'm not that careful." Ma Yan shook his head and sneered with a gloomy face.
"Let's go, let's go meet this pseudo-Wei Guzhong!"
As he spoke, Ma Jian strode up to the guide and walked towards the county office.
Although You Chu had appeared on the city wall before, he would definitely have to go back to the official mansion to do this kind of thing when he saw the envoy.
When he came all the way to the official mansion, You Chu had been waiting inside for a long time.
You Chu was sitting above, next to him were the officials and generals of Longxi County. Outside the main hall, Ma Tan saw several soldiers holding machetes and looking at him coldly.
This posture made Ma Jian just shake his head, and then walked into the main hall with his head held high.
"The Han joined the army and Ma Yan, came on the order of Prime Minister Zhuge and met You Taishou."
"Coming on Zhuge Liang's orders? Why? You Chu squinted his eyes and asked coldly.
"I'm here to be a lobbyist." Ma Tan replied lightly.
"Oh? Are you here to talk to a certain Chen about the pros and cons again? You Chu raised his eyebrows, pointed at Ma Yan and said coldly.
"In that case, I'll give you a chance to speak. But if you can't convince me of what you said in the past, go over there and die! ”
As he spoke, Ma Jian saw a group of hostile and mocking eyes around him.
"Since You Taishou doesn't want to waste time, there's no need for him to talk that nonsense." Ma Tan nodded, stood up suddenly, and pointed at You Chu and scolded.
"You're a singer! A selfish villain who claims to be Cao Wei Guzhong! ”
Ma Jian suddenly scolded You Chu, and everyone was confused, and looked at Ma Jian with a smile. But Ma Tan doesn't care about you, and immediately has a smooth squirt.
"You are just a villain in Feng Yi Pinyang, because your family is powerful and powerful. If you don't have the ability to do it, you often lose, if it weren't for the ability of the family, you would have gotten out a long time ago. ”
"Now your wishful thinking is really good, using your long-standing reputation to fool these soldiers into resisting the Han army with you. You watched from the sidelines as a wall-rider, ignoring the people of the city for the sake of your own future. ”
"Are you still Cao Wei Guzhong? You are just afraid that your family will not dare to surrender, and you will not dare to run away for fear that your future will be cut off. If you can't do it yourself, you still want to learn to defend the city and take the opportunity to ask for a price, but you are just taking the people of the city as a bet for some benefit! ”
Ma Jian scolded this time with a part of sincerity, not entirely to go home.
Although he is talking on paper and his strategy is a mess, he can still understand some things.
From his eyes, it can be seen that You Chu's combat readiness is completely. The preparation of grain and armor is completely insufficient, and the confidence is all supported by the city.
Even because the military rations were not available, You Chu actually collected the people's grain to replenish the military rations. This kind of behavior is something that Ma Tan can't understand, and he can't wait to scold him.
As for the so-called loyalty, Ma Jian can only hehe. If he really wanted to send troops to counterattack because of the imperial court, he would not have been here to watch the battle from the wall.
Ma Tan tore away the last bit of cover from You Chu with a big scolding, and showed his most hypocritical side in front of everyone. Seeing the gaze of the officials below looking at him, You Chu couldn't help but be a little stunned.
In fact, Ma Tan is not wrong, You Chu's current attitude is acting. Ever since Zhang He was captured and Longdao was cut off, You Chu understood that he had to surrender.
But for the sake of his future, he had to show himself to be a loyal minister in front of the Shu Han envoys, so that he could be reused enough after surrendering.
But having said that, if you say it so nakedly, won't I just work hard in vain!
"Nonsense! If you want to force me to surrender in this way, save it! You Chu immediately opened his mouth to interrupt Ma Tan's words, and said angrily at Ma Tan.
"Seeing that you are still a little backbone, I will ...... Let you go, get out of here! ”
"Huh! Cowardice! Ma Tan smiled coldly and looked at this beam-jumping clown with great disdain.
"I joined the army and was not afraid of death, but you were too cowardly to order my execution."
"Coward, we big men don't want people like you!"
