Chapter Ninety-Five: This Thief Must Die
"Let's talk about it, what are we going to do next?"
Looking at the Xuanjia placed in a room, Ma Jian sat on the main seat with a solemn face. And Shu Ji Mengguo and the others were stunned, looking at all this in disbelief.
There are 200 Xuanjia collars, thousands of stones of grain, plus more than 200 private soldiers in Ji County......
These charges are improvised, and it is really enough to have a three-clan dissipation.
Who would have imagined that this was done by today's hussar general, Li Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou!
"General...... This matter is important, we estimate that we will have to report to Chengdu immediately, and ask the prime minister to make a decision! Meng Guo's face was solemn at this time, and he knew very well the importance of the matter.
This is a disturbance by people at the level of the Three Princes, and this is no longer something that their level can handle. It must be written to Chengdu, and the decision will be made by His Majesty and Prime Minister himself.
You must know that if you are not careful in this kind of thing, it is easy to cause huge turmoil.
However, for Meng Guo's suggestion, Ma Jian just shook his head lightly and said with a long sigh.
"If we haven't come to Ji County yet, then we can go to the prime minister to make a decision, and then deal with Li Yan."
"But now...... We can't even be sure if someone has already sent a message to Li Yan! β
When Ma Tan learned that Li Yan was preparing supplies for a military coup, he immediately sent people to blockade the entire Ji County. The Grange outside the city was also quietly closed, not allowing anyone to leave.
But even so, who can be sure that no one has reported to Li Yan now?
Li Yan now commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Chencang, and was about to engage the Wei army. Once he knew that he had already been involved in the incident, it was very likely that he would be questioned, so he surrendered directly to Cao Wei.
This is a major matter for the survival of the Shu Han Kingdom, and Ma Jian doesn't dare to bet!
Hearing Ma Yan's words, Meng Guo also fell silent. He also understood that this matter was indeed easy to happen, in case Li Yan led his troops to surrender to Cao Wei, this Longyou, who had not yet covered the heat, would be lost again!
At that time, there may be some chaos in Shu Han!
"General, we might as well go and cut Li Yan directly!" Shu Ji made a suggestion at this time and said viciously.
"Even if someone goes to deliver a letter to Li Yan, it is impossible to run too far! We hurried to Chencang, and saw that Li Yan cut him directly! β
"Anyway, with the ability of a general, commanding soldiers and horses to fight the Wei army is not necessarily worse than Li Yan!"
"No!" Before Ma Yan could say anything, Meng Guo immediately vetoed it and said with a serious expression.
"I once heard the prime minister say that Li Yan's martial arts are extraordinary, and they are not something that ordinary people can kill. And the 20,000 Shu troops under his command, a large part of which came from Jiangzhou, were Li Yan's headquarters soldiers and horses. β
"What's more, he is also a hussar general, and there are definitely a lot of guards around him."
And if the general wants to kill him, leading more troops will arouse Li Yan's vigilance. With fewer troops, Li Yan didn't care, but the general could really kill him in front of his military tent? β
Ma Tan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
"Yes!"
Meng Guo: "??? β
"Don't say anything, this trip is me!" Ma Tan said very seriously, and said to Shu Ji Mengguo.
"Shu Ji is right, we have no other choice now, only a thunderous raid, and killing Li Yan is the way out! If we react slowly, let Li Yan realize that if Cao Wei surrenders and sticks to it, then all the generals near Chen Cang will be in danger! β
The Shu army garrisoned by Chen Cang was not only Li Yan's troops, but also the soldiers and horses of many Shu generals. Including Wang Ping, Bai Shou, Zhang Xiu and many other Shuzhong generals, they are the backbone of the Han at this stage.
If they were dragged down by Li Yan and defeated or even killed in battle, Longyou would be lost.
The prime minister probably has to write down the list again......
Thinking about the wording of the prime minister in the teacher's table, Ma Jian felt that this trip was necessary.
For Shu Han, for the prime minister, and for himself!
"General! It's too dangerous and it won't work out! Meng Guo was shocked and hurriedly said.
"Then what else do you do?" Ma Tan asked Meng Guo a rhetorical question.
"Now there is no other solution than this solution. Once Li Yan led his army to surrender, we didn't even have time to garrison LΓΌyang. β
"It is likely that the Wei army will take advantage of the situation to enter Longyou and besiege Longyou from both directions of Liangzhou and Yongzhou."
"What will we rely on then? Can you stop the remaining county soldiers on the right side of Long? β
Ma Tan's words are very direct, and they are also the biggest problem now.
To be honest, Meng Guo regretted it a little, and followed to check this thing. It's just a matter of corruption, Li Yan's reputation has been damaged at most, and it will be good to wait for the Juntian Law to be fully promoted soon.
As a result, it was finally found out that it was a rebellion, and now Li Yan had no way out.
If you don't investigate, wait for Li Yan to come back from the battle and then search, at least there is no such crisis, and Li Yan can't run away if he wants to join Wei.
On the contrary, Ma Jian had some understanding, why no one seriously went to the inspector later.
Don't take it seriously, what if you do find out something?
"There's nothing more to say, we'll go back to Chencang tonight!" Ma Tan was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision.
"I personally led more than 100 cavalry guards to go to Chencang through the narrow road of Chencang! When I see Li Yan, even if I fight for my life, I will die with Li Yan! β
"General, I'm with you!" Shu Ji didn't say a word.
"Although my martial arts are not strong, I also have a certain amount of strength, and I will not hold the general back!"
"Okay! Pack up and travel light! Ma Yan nodded.
Meng Guo stayed and sent someone to inform Yang Yi, who was closest to Luoyang. If I fail, let him go and rob Luoyang, and inform Wu Yi to defend Chen Cang's narrow road! β
"By the way, send a letter to the prime minister asking for help, this is not an ordinary crisis!"
"Shu Ji follow me to Chencang and behead him!"
"Yui!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this time, Li Yan of Chen Cang did not know that his coup had been exposed. At this time, he was constantly repairing Chen Cang, arranging soldiers and horses to prepare for a battle with Cao Wei.
For Li Yan, it was already very difficult to bring down Zhuge Liang from prestige. Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Yan himself knew very well that Zhuge Liang was unrivaled in terms of internal affairs.
In other words, no matter what he does, no matter how much his prestige increases, it is impossible to peacefully snatch power from Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, all his preparations now are to prepare for his future coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Only if he has enough prestige and overthrows the Prime Minister's Mansion by force can he succeed Zhuge Liang and secure the position of Prime Minister.
Li Yan didn't care about the Northern Expedition, Kuang Fu Han or something. He just wants power, more power, to be the one who says what he says, what he says.
Since Zhuge Liang opened the mansion, Li Yan was the first person to criticize Zhuge Liang's dictatorship. This is not to say how much Li Yan hates dictatorship, it's just that he is not the one who hates dictatorship.
