Chapter 179: Return to Chengdu
In the autumn of 229 AD, the half-year-long war ended with the war.
In this battle, the Shu army won a complete victory, forcing Sun Quan, who had a heart of disobedience, to give up the title of emperor. Then he seized the Yangtze River Pass and the Shangyong Prefectures, and stretched his hand into Nanyang and Jingnan respectively.
On the battlefield of Wu Raid, the Shu army can be said to have made a lot of money. In particular, the grain and straw compensated by Sun Quan when he finally sued for peace and the population that Ma Tan recruited from Jingnan basically earned back all the consumption of this war.
At the beginning of October, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, left part of his troops to defend Wuling Yidao, and after dividing his troops to defend Wudang Shangyong, he led 50,000 troops to retreat from Yidao. Tens of thousands of Shu troops made the front army the rear army, and the rear army did the front army and slowly withdrew to Shuzhong.
When passing through Yiling, Zhuge Liang also personally stepped off the four-wheeled car, feeling that it was not easy for the former emperor.
The Yangtze River Pass on the pedestal of Soochow is indeed tricky, and even Zhuge Liang has to admit that there is a lot of luck in this battle.
If it weren't for this guy Arima, with a few thousand troops, he would have taken the Yiting and Yidao like a miracle. It is estimated that tens of thousands of troops are now at most fighting the road, let alone forcing Nanyang.
After all, this Ma Jian is the lucky star of Shu Han.
Zhuge Liang recalled that the war in the past six months had been smoother than that of the May crossing, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings. Although this kid only knows how to rush when he fights, he really doesn't have luck.
With him here, the hope of the Han revival.
However, when he subconsciously glanced back at Ma Yan, Zhuge Liang still shook his head slightly. Then, after thinking for a while, he turned his head and said to Ma Yan,
"Young Chang, when you return to Chengdu, you will go with me to meet Your Majesty first, and sacrifice to the first emperor to tell you for the merit of defeating Wu."
"When all this is over, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion after the meritorious deeds are rewarded, and I will let Gongyan take you to learn how to deal with government affairs."
"Huh? The prime minister didn't want to ......" Ma Yan, who was in a daze, was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted to Zhuge Liang's meaning.
Previously, Zhuge Liang only appointed him as a magistrate, and his main task was military affairs. Since the beginning of the war against Wu, he has also been on the road of fighting and fighting, and he has basically not been involved in any civilian work.
Now Prime Minister Zhuge suddenly wants him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be on duty, which is obviously an unusual signal. This means that the expectation of the prime minister for him is no longer that of a general, or a general who is in charge alone.
In other words, this is the signal that Zhuge Liang really wants to make Ma Jian the heir!
Zhuge Liang wants Ma Jian to become the next or next prime minister of Shu Han.
Ma Jian subconsciously resisted this, he couldn't afford such a big responsibility.
How much ability to do big things, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble. From the point of view of the purpose, he is a character who can die violently at any time.
If this makes him an important figure in the political arena, if he violently kills the entire court, it will be turbulent. At that time, if the chain reaction makes Shu Han collapse, he will have nowhere to cry.
But before Ma Jian could speak, Zhuge Liang had already turned around and left, commanding the army to continue to drive. Obviously, the attitude is clear, you don't have to refuse, honestly follow me to help the Han family.
"Ah......h Prime Minister, Prime Minister, why are you still rushing ducks to the shelves. Seeing this, the corners of Ma Tan's mouth twitched a few times, feeling a little helpless.
However, Ma Tan quickly thought about it, and remembered something that he had almost forgotten. There are also many hidden dangers in Chengdu that need to be removed, and the local clans are still huge.
The existence of those people is also a fatal tumor to the small dynasty of Shu Han, and it is something that must be uprooted. Since the prime minister is determined to let him stay in Chengdu, he can take this opportunity to do something big.
In the future, the Northern Expedition of Shu Han was completed, and there was no resistance in the old capital. Even if he fails, the court will kill him to appease the anger of the public, and may even die from assassination.
"Hmm...... Then again, it seems that it is not unacceptable to stay in Chengdu? Ma Jian touched his chin and began to figure out the essence and pros and cons of this.
Our old horse is an idle person, and he must not stop dying at any time.

Zhuge Liang traveled from Yiling to Zigui, and finally arrived in Yong'an, where he entered the actual control area of Shu Han.
Once inside, the soldiers recruited from all over the country can be sent back to their original stations. Zhuge Liang only led more than 10,000 soldiers, that is, the nominal Shu Han Northern Army all the way back to Chengdu.
Not far from Chengdu, Ma Tan saw Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who had never been out of the palace, come out to greet him in person. Following behind Liu Chan, the civil and military officials of the Shu Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty!" In the face of Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang will always be the most respectful minister. Seeing that the emperor came to greet him in person, Zhuge Liang hurriedly got up and saluted.
"This time Wu won a big victory, the prime minister has worked hard, and the prime minister has raised his prestige for my big man!" Liu Chan immediately helped Zhuge Liang up, and his expression couldn't hide his excitement.
"On behalf of the people of the Han Dynasty, I thank the Prime Minister for the Jiangshan Society!"
It is worth mentioning that Liu Chan's address to Zhuge Liang is basically his father, but that is in private. On formal occasions, Liu Chan, as the emperor, must call Zhuge Liang the prime minister.
This is also the unspoken rule of the political court, and it can be regarded as a kind of helplessness.
Zhuge Liang immediately returned the salute, and generally behaved decently without being out of line.
Then Zhuge Liang dragged Ma Tan out and respectfully said to Liu Chan.
"Your Majesty, this battle can win this great victory, all thanks to the merits of Ma Youchang. If there is no young man who often rushes into battle to kill the enemy and appeases Jingnan, it is difficult to have this result in defeating Wu. ”
"Ma Youchang?" Liu Chan's eyes immediately locked on Ma Tan, as if he wanted to write down what Ma Tan's whole person looked like.
"I seem to have heard of ......"
"Young Chang is the younger brother of Ma Liang in the former servant, and he is also a native of Yicheng, Xiangyang, and the way of the art of war and strategy is not under the light." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and gave Ma Jian momentum extremely smoothly.
"If it is said that after the dawn, who can stabilize the country and support the Han family, it is only young and constant."
As soon as Zhuge Liang's words came out, the expressions of all the civil and military officials present changed.
You know, Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's recommendation is not so easy to get. So far, only a few people such as Jiang Wanfei Yi can make Zhuge Liang speak in public to expand his prestige.
This Ma Yan, it seems that he will also enter the high-level of the Han Dynasty in the future.
As for Liu Chan, his expression became very excited at the moment, and he was dancing for a while.
Obviously, Xiang's father once again recommended talents to him, and he was about the same age as Fei Yi. These people have no problem with at least a few decades, and they shouldn't have to worry about being scolded by future generations for not being able to keep the foundation, right?
Liu Chan does not have many advantages, and listening to persuasion and obedience is his greatest advantage.
Not to mention anything else, Liu Chan really used all the talents mentioned on the teacher list 100% according to it.
This added another Ma Tan, which can be regarded as filling the gap in the military aspect.
However, when the recommendation of Ma Jian was over and he was about to welcome the army into the city, he suddenly cried out and bowed directly in front of Ma Tan.
Everyone was shocked, and they all looked over, but found that it was Guan Xingye in the waiter.
