"Jiang Changshi, why doesn't this Shu Keli prohibit local clans from having private soldiers?"

Ma Jian hugged Shu Ke while reading, and at the same time put forward opinions with Jiang Wan, looking for loopholes.

Although Shu Ke was personally appointed by the prime minister, Ma Jian did not believe that there were no loopholes in it. After a careful understanding, he saw a lot of hidden dangers.

Among them, the prohibition of the big clans from possessing private soldiers was not written at all.

Private soldiers, should they be given power to the family? How was Boss Cao stolen by Lu Bu's more than 1,000 cavalry? It was the 20,000 soldiers and horses who were sent by the Yanzhou Shi clan to send private soldiers.

Once the local powerful families were allowed to hold the army, the deterrent power of the imperial power was not so strong.

So Ma Jian is very puzzled about this, why did the prime minister fall behind such a perfect person?

Jiang Wan is an old revolutionary, and he knows a lot about this, and when he saw Ma Yan ask this question, he really fell silent.

"Young Chang, I suggest you don't get involved in this matter, this is something that even the prime minister has to concede." Jiang Wan was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said meaningfully.

These meaningful words made Ma Jian suddenly feel alive.

Obviously, this is a topic that Chengdu can't touch now, which is just in line with Lao Ma's thoughts on the future.

"Changshi, you know me, how can I be idle." Ma Tan spread his hands and had a showdown with the honest Jiang Wan directly.

"If Changshi doesn't tell me, I can only go to the prime minister and ask."

"Don't, don't go and make trouble for the prime minister." Jiang Wan was taken aback and immediately stretched out his hand to stop him.

"The prime minister has enough work, don't make trouble for him anymore."

Under Jiang Wan's helpless explanation, Ma Jian also learned something.

Shu is not quite the same as other places, this place has not been strong in central control for many years. When the first emperor entered Sichuan, he found that there were many private soldiers in the hands of the powerful people in Shu.

When the first emperor led his troops to fight Chengdu, the reason why Liu Zhang was able to defend to the death was that the private soldiers of these families were definitely the greatest.

After entering Sichuan, the first emperor had the idea of prohibiting the family from holding private soldiers. However, this idea was immediately opposed by all the localists in the entire Shuzhong, and the opposition was very loud.

It is said that the foundation of the first emperor is unstable, and the Chengdu is occupied only after the surrender of the people, so the weight of the local faction is not low from the beginning. In the end, neither the prime minister nor the first emperor dared to ban private soldiers.

So this piece has become the biggest loophole in the Shu family, and it was the case until the demise of Shu Han. When Liu Chan died in the country, he didn't even dare to mention that he would defend the city, which was inseparable from the fact that the Chengdu clan held many private soldiers.

But from Ma Yan's point of view, this is obviously a good breakthrough.

Private soldiers, private soldiers, this thing should not exist in theory. If you don't find a way to deal with it, I'm afraid it will become a threat at any time in the future.

Have you forgotten Boss Cao's experience?

"No, I have to talk to the prime minister!"

"What are you talking about, don't die!" Jiang Wan was almost anxious, and grabbed Ma Yan and said with a dark face.

"Don't talk about this, even the prime minister has been helpless. These Shu tribes are not those small shrimps you encountered in Longyou, they have real guys! ”

Ma Yan's deeds in Longyou, Jiang Wan still heard a lot. I have to say that Ma Tan's law of equalizing land is indeed good, and the wasteland and the land illegally occupied by the big clan are returned to tenant farmers for cultivation.

This not only increases taxes, but also increases the scope of conscription, and can also be very effective in cracking down on the family.

But these things can only be promoted in Longyou, and Shuzhong can't do it. At the beginning, the first emperor had 100,000 troops, and he didn't dare to prohibit the private soldiers of the big families in the two states, let alone now.

It's good that you Ma Tan is doing it in Longyou, don't take it too seriously.

Jiang Wan is still very optimistic about Ma Yan, after all, there are too few talents in Shu and Han Dynasty. But Jiang Wan, who is jealous and hateful and doesn't know how to be afraid, is too worried.

Ma Tan's personality is more like Sun Ce, if he doesn't know the convergence, it is estimated that the end will be similar to Sun Ce.

Shu Han can't lose another horse, otherwise the prime minister will really die of exhaustion.

"Gongyan, this is a big deal, if you don't make changes, sooner or later there will be chaos!" Ma Yan's attitude was very resolute, and he said righteously.

"It's okay if I don't know, now that I know, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, how can I watch such a big hidden danger for future generations?"

"We can't let him become a problem left over from history, we must change it now!"

After speaking, Ma Jian directly broke free from Jiang Wan and strode towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. Jiang Wan, who saw this, was in a hurry, and hurriedly followed.

However, in the end, Ma Tan didn't have time to tell the prime minister about it, because as soon as he entered the prime minister's mansion, he heard the prime minister discussing military affairs with several generals.

Seeing Ma Tan coming in, the prime minister immediately waved a feather fan at him.

"Young Chang, it's just in time, come and see the battle report of Soochow."

The battle report of Soochow came very coincidentally, and Ma Jian could only let go of his obsession with the law and read the war report first. And Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, at least Ma Yan wouldn't make trouble.

No surprise, Soochow won the self-defense counterattack again. After Zhou Yi surrendered and carefully set up an ambush, Cao Xiu, the general of Cao Wei, was fooled and defeated by the Wu army at Shiting.

Lu Xun led 100,000 troops to chase the north and chase all the way to the city of Hefei. But for some reason, when there was plenty of grain and grass and high morale, it did not take the opportunity to besiege Hefei, but quickly withdrew.

After reading this battle report, let alone Ma Yan, even Chen Shi sensed that something was wrong.

"It seems that the prime minister's estimate is right, Sun Quan of Dongwu is indeed a little dishonest."

Chen Shi nodded, looked at the battle report and sighed.

"If it weren't for that, he would definitely take advantage of the situation to capture Hefei, instead of withdrawing his troops for fear of defeat."

"In this case, we should also prepare to attack Wu, and we can't let him claim the title of emperor in vain." Wu Ban nodded, and said to Zhuge Liang,

"Prime Minister, please go with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and be a pioneer!"

"Prime Minister, I can also cut down Wu for the vanguard!"

Before Wu Ban's words fell, Ma Jian also stood up and said loudly.

Zhuge Liang: "??? ”

How does this scene feel familiar?

"General Youchang, kill chickens with a knife, let me go." Wu Ban was also a little surprised, looked at Ma Tan and said.

Your Ma Tan is not low now, and the people of Shuzhong have compared you with Wei Yan and Zhao Yun.

How can a general of this level be a pioneer.

"This matter has nothing to do with slaughtering knives, this is a major event to defeat Wu, and it should be that I should go out to fight first and break the sharpness of Eastern Wu."

Ma Tan said confidently, and then looked at Zhuge Liang and patted his chest and promised,

"Prime Minister, a certain wish to make a military warrant ......"

"Okay, then the pioneer will be handed over to Wu Ban."

"Huh?"
