"The criminal minister You Chu, meet the prime minister!"

You Chu saluted in front of Zhuge Liang and pleaded guilty, his attitude was very sincere, making Zhuge Liang nod slightly.

"Although you are still stubborn and stubborn when our Han army comes, you can understand the truth at the last moment, and it is better to submit to the Han and lose your senses."

"However, I need to ask Your Majesty to make a decision before you make a decision, and you will still be the Taishou of Longxi during this period."

"Prime Minister Xie!" You Chu is overjoyed, this is a sign of trust in a sense.

The rumor that Shu Han treats people with tolerance is true, and he is not wrong.

After You Chu left, Zhuge Liang then called out Ma Jian and rewarded Ma Jian as well.

This time, Ma Yan's performance was a little unexpected by Zhuge Liang, this proud boy really persuaded You Chu to surrender.

It turned out that Zhuge Liang planned to persuade Ma Jian to surrender and set off, and then Wu Yi led his troops to follow. When Ma Tan's persuasion failed to surrender and was driven out, Wu Yi just seamlessly attacked the city directly.

However, Ma Tan was much more useful than he imagined, and he really persuaded You Chu, the wall-riding faction, to surrender.

"Youchang, you did a good job this time, and you are the first to take the credit for Longxi County." Zhuge Liang saw Ma Tan coming in with a black face, pointed at him and smiled.

"I didn't expect that the kid who had been talking to me about the art of war at the beginning would be so talented in debating envoys. If you can persuade You Chu, a treacherous and cunning guy, your ability can be recognized. ”

The surrender of Longxi County allowed Shu Han to finally completely control the entire Longyou. Under the danger of Longshan, the Shu army still needs to hold Longdao, and the entire Longxi will be as stable as Mount Tai.

The population of the five counties in Longyou is roughly estimated to be 500,000, and the specific household registration is still being surveyed. As long as Shu Han can digest this place and build this place into the advance base of Shu Han's Northern Expedition, whether it is attacking Guanzhong or Liangzhou in the west, it will be much easier than the Northern Expedition from Hanzhong in the future.

The most intuitive point is that the grain of the Shu army no longer needs to be transported from Hanzhong over the mountains and mountains. As long as it is managed properly, the wheat produced by Longyou is enough to support the further northern expedition of the Shu army.

However, Zhuge Liang's easy-going attitude did not make Ma Jian feel good, and he was silent for a while and suddenly spoke.

"Prime Minister, do you know what kind of person You Chu is? Let him continue to be the Taishou of Longxi, can you rest assured? ”

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly when he heard Ma Yan's tone.

"What do you see?"

"Longxi County refused to surrender because he rode the wall, and has maintained martial law and war readiness. And You Chu's own ability was not good, so he forcibly requisitioned the people's food in order to fight. ”

"When I arrived in Longxi County, I saw that hundreds of people on the streets had to line up to receive porridge, and many of them had starved to death." Ma Yan said expressionlessly.

"Really? He will have no doubts about liquidating him after that day. Zhuge Liang nodded, not showing much surprise.

"But You Chu can't kill now, and not only can't he kill him, but he also has to be rewarded to praise his knowledge."

"Prime Minister, continue to let him be here is a disaster for the people of Longxi, even if he doesn't kill him, he should be locked up!" Ma Tan said.

Hearing Ma Yan's words, Zhuge Liang's expression gradually became serious. He realized that Ma Youchang took this issue seriously.

"Youchang, you hate him very much?"

"I can't talk about hate, but I hate such a corpse vegetarian meal and a monkey crown." Ma Jian shook his head and replied.

"Whether you hate or hate, now is not the time to deal with him." Zhuge Liang sighed softly, and the feather fan in his hand fanned slightly.

"You Chu is a role model, an example set for Cao Wei officials. I want to tell them that as long as they are willing to submit to the Great Han, they can be blamed for their past crimes. ”

"We have few soldiers and scarce food, and there is no hope for them to be weakened by all means if we don't want to do everything possible in the face of the entire pseudo-Wei. So I hope you understand. ”

For Zhuge Liang, what he needs to consider now is not only one county and one county, but also the overall layout. Although Longyou has been won, the overall national strength of Shu Han is still too far behind Cao Wei.

The only advantage they have is that Shu Han is united in their hearts, and the government decree is highly unified in thought. On the other hand, Cao Wei Zeze was full of scholars, and the power of the scholars in various places was huge, and the imperial court had limited binding power on them.

If You Chu can be used as an example to provoke the border officials to have two hearts, then the next Northern Expedition will not be so difficult.

When you recruit the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, it will be much easier to deal with them. Zhuge Liang has been in politics for so many years, and his means are extremely superb, and the one he is least afraid of is the two or five boys who have different intentions.

If it were Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang wouldn't explain anything, just give an order. However, for Ma Yan, Zhuge Liang still cares about him.

The secondary reason is that this kid does have some talent, and the main reason is that his brother Ma Liang and Zhuge Liang are very good friends.

"Thank you Prime Minister for the reminder." Ma Tan bowed his hand and saluted, and turned his head to leave.

"Ma Yan, this kid, is becoming more and more like his brother." Zhuge Liang watched Ma Jian leave calmly and shook his head gently.

"You Taishou, can you have time tonight to drink and talk freely in the military tent?"

Ma Tan left the military tent and immediately turned his head to catch up with You Chu, who had not yet left. You Chu saw that it was Ma Jian and showed a polite smile.

"It's Ma who joined the army, we met again, and now we are all Han courtiers, and we will be colleagues in the future."

"But I'm sorry, I have to go back to Didao County as soon as possible to appease the people, I'm afraid I have to do it next time."

"There's no need to be so fast, with the prime minister here, there won't be any young people who dare to resist." Ma Tan shook his head, grabbed You Chu, and showed a kind smile.

"Come with me, I haven't finished talking to you before, and it just so happens that the war is over, so let's drink and talk tonight and say something heart-wrenching."

Under normal circumstances, alcohol is never allowed in the Shu army camp. However, now that the Shu army is stationed in the west county, it is still okay to drink outside the camp.

You Chu looked at Ma Jian with some surprise, and his heart also became lively.

He had already heard that the identity of joining the army in front of him was not ordinary, and he was the descendant of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the dynasty. This time it is a great achievement, and the ascension is a sure thing.

The other party is now coming to befriend him with a subordinate, which can be regarded as giving him You Chu's face. If you can get acquainted with Ma Yan, you will be much more comfortable in the officialdom in the future than in Cao Wei.

As for Ma Tan scolding him in Longxi County before, You Chu didn't care at all. What are you afraid of scolding, as long as it doesn't affect your future and status, why not beat him?

You must know that his family is in Luoyang, but it did not affect his surrender to Shu Han.

"Since Ma joins the army and is willing to make friends with me, it is inconvenient for You to refuse, thank you in advance for your hospitality." You Chu arched his hand and thanked him with a smile.

"You don't have to thank you, I will definitely treat you well." Ma Yan's smile was a little more meaningful, and he gently patted You Chu's shoulder and said.
