At this moment, Ma Tan's location is no longer in Sanba, but in Zitong County, south of Hanshou. In more than half a month, he successively cleaned up the big thieves in the northern part of Shu and shocked the thieves from all over the country.

This is not unfast, and it may even be faster than he promised.

But the development of the imperial court is faster than Ma Jian imagined. The localists were already lacking in confidence, and when they saw the court's tough attitude, they were all intimidated. Then he was blackmailed by Zhuge Liang for a while, and he was basically scraped to the bottom.

And Ma Tan's death plan was also stopped in advance.

"No! I'm not convinced! Ma Jian was very dissatisfied with this, how could there be such a trick.

What I want is to fight the locals to the end, and as a result, you treat me as a black face and scare people with a white face. Even if you are the prime minister, you can't bully people like this!

I'm not convinced!

"Ahem...... General Ma, don't be impatient, Your Majesty has not finished saying that he still has a reward for you this time. "The one who came to inform Ma Jian this time was Shangshu Ling Chen Zhen. Let such a big official come, and you can also see the attitude of the palace and the house.

Ma Yan, you did a good job, if it weren't for you, you might not have handled it so easily this time. But for the sake of the overall situation, I'm sorry that I can only wronged you first.

Chen Zhen brought a reward edict with Liu Chan's seal, in addition to rewarding gold and silver silk, there was also the promotion of martial arts!

"General Young Chang, from today onwards, you will be my Han's auxiliary general!" Chen Zhen finished reading it, and personally handed it to Ma Yan and said with a smile.

"This time it's really thanks to you!"

Seeing this improvement, even Ma Yan, who had never cared about this, was shocked.

O auxiliary general! What a nice name!

This position was a newly created second-class permanent general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was the highest military attache under the generals of the Four Expeditions and Four Towns of the Han Dynasty.

Ma Tan was still a miscellaneous general last year, and he only became a captain for a few months. For him, if he wants to improve again, it is estimated that he will have to wait a year or two.

Unexpectedly, in order to appease Ma Yan, the Prime Minister's Mansion directly promoted him with a wave of his hand.

Although the localists will feel uncomfortable, but at this time, what can you do?

Why don't I summon Ma Yan back, after all, the Prime Minister's Mansion is still short of manpower......

In this regard, Ma Jian can also feel that the court does attach importance to him.

But......

"I'm still not convinced! I'm about to finish it, I can't just give up halfway! Ma Jian directly spread his hands and said to Chen Zhen angrily.

"It's useless for anyone to come today! If I don't finish pacifying the thieves and thieves of the Shu Sect, I will never go to Hanzhong! ”

"If Your Majesty and the Prime Minister feel that it is inappropriate, they can be punished!"

However, before Ma Jian could finish speaking, a personal soldier walked in outside and reported to Ma Yan.

"Envoy! The former general's people were outside, angrily coming to ask for the guilt! ”

"Wu Ban? What is he doing here? ”

"It is said that I asked the general for an explanation, it is said that he went to Shu County to suppress Mianzhu, and your troops looted all the banners carried by his army......"

Ma Yan: "......"

The started to make a fuss again......

"Ahem...... Chen Shangshu, you are busy first, and I will go to Hanzhong first. Ma Jian then reacted very quickly, and directly snatched the edict back, turned around and left.

"Liu Yin went to Mianzhu to raise the army to Nanzheng, and he took the first step. As for General Wu's messenger, I told him that Ma Jian was not here! ”

Well, although Ma Jian is still not very satisfied, what can be done.

In the words of our Lao Li, the official university crushes people to death. In case Zhuge Liang is angry if he continues to make trouble, it will be bad if he doesn't let him go to the battlefield when he turns back.

As for believing that Zhuge Liang would behead him with a military warrant...... It's good to smile, who has the military order beheaded in these years?

The most important thing is that Ma Tan also sensed Zhuge Liang's intention to appoint him as the Taishou of Hanzhong.

Obviously, as far as this position is concerned, there is basically no other possibility than to prepare for the next Northern Expedition. By the autumn of next year at the latest, the Shu Han army will leave Qishan again.

This is very good news for Ma Tan.

After writing a letter to Chengdu to deal with the rest of the affairs, Fen Liu Yin went to Mianzhu to bring out his headquarters soldiers and horses. Then Ma Jian directly and quickly led his troops north, all the way to Hanzhong and Nanzheng.

Hanzhong County, although nominally a county, is not much smaller than Sanba. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, there is the Han River flowing eastward, and the climate is pleasant, which is a very good area.

Since the battle of the old Liu Hanzhong and the disgusting departure of Brother Meng De, this place has become an important town in the north of Shu Han.

Previously, Wei Yan was in charge of guarding the town, because Wei Yan was transferred to the north to guard the more important Anding County, so Ma Yanlai took over.

After quickly handing over power, Ma Jian also became the Taishou of Hanzhong.

"Hanzhong County is so rich here, both in terms of population and taxes?" After Ma Tan saw a series of materials from household registration to taxation, he was shocked.

After nearly four years, it was the first time that Ma Tan had seen such a rich county.

"In the past, Hanzhong County was the frontier of the former prime minister's personal planning to wait for the great cause of the Northern Expedition. And because the battle of Hanzhong knocked away the local family, this place is also the strongest county controlled by the Han Dynasty. Liu Yin replied honestly, answering Ma Yan's doubts.

"There are more than 10,000 garrisons here, connecting Shangyong in the east, Tianshui in the north, and Wudu Yinping in the west, which is the gateway in Shu. The General is in charge of guarding this place, which means that you are being put to good use! ”

"You don't have to teach me this, I can still see it." Ma Jian didn't say anything about this, just waved his hand gently.

Theoretically, this is the safest place in Shu Han now, and it is basically impossible to have a military disaster. Although the Qiang people in Wudu Yinping are in turmoil, it is impossible to cross the Yangping Pass.

But this is not good news for Ma Yan, who really doesn't want to waste his good time in the office.

What he wants is rivers of blood!

So after pondering carefully for a while, Ma Jian set his eyes on the place that countless people had paid attention to.

Meridian Valley!

"Hugh, I have a very bold idea......"

"General, the prime minister also has a very complete set of laws!" Liu Yin immediately replied, a little helpless.

Sure enough, as soon as the general was left alone, he immediately burst into joy...... Well, it seems that someone is quite happy to be in charge.

I just don't know what I'm going to do this time......

Then Liu Yin saw Ma Yan's smile gradually perverted on the map, drawing a line. This line starts from Nanzheng, passes through the mountains and mountains, and connects to Chang'an!

"Let's go! Let's go to Meridian Valley to stab him in the ass! ”

"General, don't be joking!!"

…………

At the same time, in Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei, Cao Zhen, who had been guarding Chang'an, rarely returned. In front of Cao Rui, he paralyzed a map in front of Cao Rui.

"Your Majesty! In recent years, Xishu has entered the Kou one after another, which damages the national prestige! Today, the soldiers of our Guanzhong have been tempered properly, and the morale of the soldiers of Liangzhou is high, it is a good time to cut down Shu! ”
