Seeing that Ma Jian suddenly became serious, Wei Yan was a little strange, and he looked at Ma Jian for a while and said.

"That's right, it's Cao Xiu, the strongest general of the pseudo-Wei clan besides Cao Zhen."

"Don't underestimate this kid when you meet him in the future, Wu Lan died at his hands back then. I'll kill him with my own hands someday......"

didn't care about Wei Yan's scolding behind him, Ma Yan's thinking suddenly got back on track.

Since the crossing, it has been almost a year since the recovery of Longyou. Ma Tan has been busy with government affairs for the second half of the year in order to die of exhaustion, and he has almost forgotten the direction of history.

Until now, Wei Yan's words reminded Ma Yan of the trend of history.

In the autumn of the second year after the failure of the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition to Longyou, the largest conflict between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei since the Battle of Chibi broke out. This battle was fought in Shiting, and Cao Xiu, the general of Cao Wei, personally took command and dispatched from Hefei to attack Eastern Wu.

As a result, 100,000 Cao troops were defeated by the Wu army in the Battle of Shiting, and suffered a lot of losses. Wu Jun, under the leadership of Lu Xun and Zhou Yi, was like a bamboo, taking advantage of the situation.

Pushed all the way to the city of Hefei, so that it couldn't be moved again......

Of course, if it was just that, Ma Yan wouldn't care too much. Soochow fought no less than ten self-defense counterattacks before and after, and basically every time it was a big victory.

But this time the Battle of Stone Pavilion seemed a little different.

The Battle of Shiting was a great victory, and in the same year, the prime minister led the Shu army to the north along the Chencang Road and launched the second Northern Expedition.

Needless to say, the prime minister still didn't succeed and was blocked by Hao Zhao.

The real big drama was in the spring of the second year, that is, after the prime minister captured the Wudu Yinping.

Sun Quan is the emperor!

Known as Xunzong at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan, who had the most titles in the Three Kingdoms era, was crowned emperor in this year. Not only that, but he also sent people to find Shu Han, hoping to fight Cao Wei with Shu Han and the second emperor.

Sun Quan's move broke all the Han loyal ministers in the Shu Han court.

We are also the continuation of the Mandate of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and we are also orthodox emperors. You are a Jiangdong rat, and you dare to touch us if you forge a destiny by yourself?

As a result, the court was full of righteous indignation, demanding to break off diplomatic relations with Eastern Wu and even raise troops to attack it.

In the end, the prime minister, who has always been pragmatic, personally expressed his attitude of "extraordinary times are treated very well", and the decision recognized the emperor of Soochow.

There is nothing to do, the prime minister has already made three northern expeditions in history, and basically has not advanced an inch. For Shu Han, he doesn't have the energy to care about the little abacus of Dongwu now.

Therefore, when Ma Tan heard about Cao Xiu's attack on Wu this time, he suddenly found that history did not seem to have changed much.

Don't look at him now to kill Hao Zhao and defeat Guo Huai, but the really populous and rich Kanto region is in the hands of Cao Wei.

Cao Wei is still a banker, and Dongwu and Shu Han are still inferior to others combined.

Judging by Ma Tan's character to Zhuge Liang, with the current situation, the prime minister may still be the master to recognize Wu Laoer's destiny.

Ma Jian has traveled through more than 1,000 years, and he feels that as a person who has come over, he has already come.

Admitting Wu Laoer's Mandate of Heaven is absolutely not good!

This is to challenge the future of Shu Han and the legitimacy of the Mandate of Heaven. At that time, the so-called slogan of "the royal industry is not partial, and the Han and the thief are not separated" will become an empty word in the eyes of the head of Shu Han and Qian.

"It looks like I have to go back to Chengdu......" Ma Tan touched his chin and basically made a judgment on the current situation.

He can no longer be a county guard in Longyou, and as soon as the Battle of Shiting begins, Ma Tan must return to Chengdu immediately.

When the time comes, he will fight to quarrel with the prime minister in the court, and he may be questioned and beheaded, and he will have to prevent the prime minister from making the same choice in history.

In fact, the risk is not great, anyway, it is just a death.

"Wen Chang, in this case, I'm afraid I will have to go back to Chengdu at the end of the year." Ma Yan figured all this out, and suddenly stood up and said to Wei Yan.

"There are important matters that must be personally interviewed by the prime minister, and I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to pacify the people in Longyou."

"At that time, Longxi County will also hope that Wen Chang will take care of it, don't make a mess."

"Back to Chengdu?" Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted,

"That's right, you should have gone back a long time ago, otherwise your wife and child would have been in a hurry."

"Wife and child......" The corners of Ma Yan's mouth twitched, and he suddenly remembered that he did seem to have a wife.

After all, Ma Jian is a talented man from the Jingzhou faction, and it would be strange if such a big person didn't have a wife.

Ma Tan has been in Longyou for more than a year since he followed the army to the expedition. For him, the so-called wife and child don't feel anything at all.

After all, it was the wife and children of the original owner, and he was really in no mood to get involved.

What's more, he doesn't know when he will leave, how can he have a weakness.

It's better to rest assured that the prime minister can't be a thief.

After Ma Yan made up his mind, he and Wei Yan drank and drank all night. In the end, it wasn't until Wei Yan was put down that Ma Yan got up and left slowly.

Just an ancient, still want to get drunk on the wine table with a migrant worker?

It's overwhelming!

This time he regained relations with Wei Yan, which was also a reassuring thing for Ma Yan. At least Ma Tan can be sure that this general of Shuhan Zhenbei is really loyal and does not have a backbone in the back of his head.

Under the banner of Shu Han, there are still some idealistic and loyal ministers.

…………

…………

"Prime Minister, this is the total amount of taxes paid by Bazhong this year, please take a look."

"Prime Minister, Nanzhong has captured 100 rebel generals, please rule on the Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister, several canals in the north of Chengdu have been destroyed, and there are suspected bandits running around, please make a decision!"

…………

In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chengdu, every day Zhuge Liang just opened his eyes and there were mountains of decrees.

Zhuge Liang is basically the core motor that Shu Han can run with high power now, and without him, the administrative efficiency of Shu Han will collapse by more than half.

Although Jiang Wan and other officials are assisted, the prime minister's work is still scary.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang's body is still strong now, and he can support it by working like this.

"Prime Minister, Longxi Taishou Ma Jian sent a letter back, please ask if you can return to Chengdu at the end of the year."

At this time, a scribe walked in and sent Zhuge Liang a letter from Ma Yan.

"Young Chang, what do you have in mind?" Zhuge Liang frowned suddenly, immediately raised his head, and took the letter from the scribe's hand.

The last letter was that Li Yan intended a coup d'état, and he was about to behead Li Yan himself. This time Ma Tan sent a letter again, who did he cut again?

The prime minister opened the letter and took a cursory look at it, and then he was relieved.

Fortunately, Ma Jian didn't cut people this time.

"Back to Chengdu? Young Chang, this kid finally remembered that he still has a family in Chengdu? Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly and said with a slight smile.

"Are you going to come back?" Jiang Wan, the long history on the side, was stunned for a moment, and also raised his head and asked.

"That's right, I also said that there are big things to prepare for back in Chengdu." Zhuge Liang nodded and put Ma Yan's letter aside.

"He also recommended a few generals to me, saying that they all have the talent of generals."

"Jiang Wei, Wang Ping, Shu Ji...... This kid has recommended all his acquaintances. ”

"This is really the first time that you have recommended a non-Ma child." Jiang Wan couldn't help but smile.

"This kid, it's good if you don't mess with me." Zhuge Liang shook his head and began to deal with official business again.

However, he remembered the names of the generals recommended by Ma Tan, especially Wang Ping, and Ma Jian gave the evaluation of "leading the troops as a whole, not under the command." ”

This evaluation was Zhuge Liang's surprise, and it was the first time that Ma Yan, a guy with eyes above the top, said such a thing.

When did this kid learn to praise people?
