Chapter 225: Confrontation with Weishui
After driving Ma Jian out, Zhuge Liang's face slowly changed. The anger quickly dissipated, replaced by hesitation and headaches.
At the moment, he was having a headache about how to deal with Ma Tan.
This time, he characterized Ma Tan's behavior as a general who would not be subject to the king's order. That is, Ma Jian discovered the fighter plane, and because he didn't have time, he went out privately.
But in fact, Zhuge Liang is very aware of the true situation of this matter. Ma Jian just went out privately, and brought the army out without an order from the imperial court.
The most important thing is that the five thousand soldiers and horses really obeyed his orders and went out together!
This is a very unusual situation, which means that Ma Yan's prestige in the army has been ridiculously high. It's not just Ma Tan's headquarters that only knows Ma Tan's grace, even the central Han Dynasty Qu also trusts Ma Jian very much.
Ma Jian has faintly overshadowed the imperial court in the army and has become the actual leader in the eyes of many subordinates.
If this were changed to other dynasties, Ma Jian would have been beheaded all over the place. Because Ma Yan's prestige already has an impact on the imperial court, it is impossible for anyone to accept it.
Zhuge Liang is not bad, although he can see the problem in the middle, he does not want to kill Ma Yan. Ma Yan's character is very clear to him, a scholar with no ambition, he will not have the idea of rebellion.
But if Ma Tan wants to be self-reliant or has a little ambition, he won't even care about his wife and children. Even his own son, Ma Jian didn't mean to cultivate at all.
This is what Ming Huanghuang told the court, and I don't have so many ideas.
In particular, now Shu Han is inseparable from Ma Yan, and this kid has become one of the most important figures in the Han Dynasty in a few years.
There are several good seedlings in the army, such as Jiang Wei, Liu Yin, Wang Ping...... Basically, all of them are inextricably linked to Ma Tan. The entire imperial court is inseparable from Ma Yan, and once he has to deal with him, the future of the entire Han Dynasty will be gone.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang still only restricted Ma Jian from acting indiscriminately, and did not mean to punish him heavily.
However, Ma Tan's enormous prestige is still a risk. You must know that Ma Tan is also extremely knowledgeable and good at his duties, and has promoted many capable talents.
In case some of these people have the ambition to take advantage of the power of the horse to do something rebellious......
Zhuge Liang is confident that while he is alive, he will stop everything. But what about when he dies? Can the rest of the people and His Majesty really be able to hold it down?
That's a big question mark!
If it is not dealt with, it will be Zhuge Liang's dereliction of duty. But how to deal with it, Zhuge Liang has been thinking about it for a long time, but he still has no idea.
After all, he is also a minister, how can he be qualified to take the place of His Majesty to indulge in a risk?
In the end, Zhuge Liang left this problem to Liu Chan and let His Majesty solve it himself. It is also the idea to restrain Ma Jian and leave it for disposal in Chengdu.
Let's see what Your Majesty says, if Your Majesty is worried that it will be a disaster, Zhuge Liang can only endure the pain to help Your Majesty clean up the portal.

Zhuge Liang's soldiers went out of the slope, broke Chen Tai in Wuzhangyuan, and beheaded more than 1,000 people.
This news was transmitted by Chen Tai to the Yongzhou front line and Chang'an, and Guanzhong was shaken for a while!
The last time the Shu army went out of Qishan, they annexed the entire Longyou in just a few months. This time, he actually came out of the Bao Slope Road directly, doesn't this mean that the target of the Shu army is Guanzhong?
Especially before this, Ma Yan, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, went out of the Meridian Valley and made chaos. After defeating the Qianghu mercenaries and burning the three auxiliary of Guanzhong, he quickly went south to meet the main force of the Shu army.
This series of actions is like a stream, as if it was completely planned. So from this aspect, anyone with a little insight on Cao Wei's side will figure it out.
Shu Han has been planning for a long time this time, and rushed to attack Guanzhong when the main force of the Wei army was besieging Longyou!
Guo Huai, who was still fighting on the front line, received the news, and his first reaction was to order a blockade of the news. Then he found his confidants to discuss the withdrawal of the army, and evacuated as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the main forces of the front line in Guanzhong are all in the hands of Guo Huai and Chen Tai, and the defenders on the front line of Chang'an are less than 30,000. The entire Guanzhong garrison air defense is extremely weak, and it is simply not enough to resist the attack of the Shu army.
In particular, the Shu army has been recognized in recent years, and its combat effectiveness is greater than that of Cao Wei's soldiers and horses.
Once Zhuge Liang made up his mind to go east and attack Chang'an with martial arts, the entire Guanzhong would be in chaos. If Zhuge Liang succeeds in taking Chang'an and blocking the connection between the imperial court and the northwest, then the 100,000 Guanzhong army will become a lone army.
At that time, the west of Tongguan will no longer belong to Cao Wei!
In order to prevent a series of collapses, Chen Tai, who was defeated and left, bravely rose up again after collecting the defeated troops. Led the remnants of the defeated army to camp with less than 20,000 people on the north bank of Weishui, hoping to see the main force of the Shu army.
And Guo Huai is also constantly deploying troops, blocking the news to stabilize morale, and racing against time to return to the defense.
However, if they know that Zhuge Liang didn't want to play Guanzhong at all, the main thing to get out of the praise ramp is to answer Ma Yan, and I don't know what Guo Huai and Chen Tai will think.
But none of this matters, because Zhuge Liang appeared in Wuzhang Plain, and it is impossible for Cao Wei to be calm.
70,000 Wei troops quickly evacuated from Yongzhou and returned to Guanzhong via Qinchi Road. Because the march was too hasty, a large amount of grain and baggage were discarded to the west of Huangshui.
And Fei Yi is also very good at seizing the opportunity, and after noticing the emergency evacuation of the Wei army, he immediately contacted Wang Ping Shuji to launch a night attack. The Longshan Shu army took advantage of the night to raid and defeated the Wei army that had not yet withdrawn.
But although the situation is erosive, Guo Huai can't take care of these anymore. Tens of thousands of Wei troops abandoned their baggage, walked the road for ten days in front of the light army in a few days, and rushed to Wuzhang to block the main force of the Shu army.
After defeating Chen Tai, Zhuge Liang stationed troops in Wuzhangyuan, relying on the steep mountain road to protect the slope road. When he saw that the main force of the Wei army had arrived on the north bank of Weishui, Zhuge Liang retreated to the line of Beishan and gave up Wuzhang Yuan to show the enemy weakness.
He gathered a total of 20,000 people, and he was not the main force of the Shu army. On the other side, even if the Wei army won many victories in Ma Tan, it still had nearly 100,000 troops, and the advantage over the Shu army was still obvious.
And as time continued, the Wei army's Kwantung soldiers and horses were also constantly mobilized to the west. If you rashly launch an attack, it is easy to encounter the siege of the main force of the Wei army.
And because he was in a hurry to find Ma Yan, Zhuge Liang didn't carry much food. Now that Ma Tan has been captured, Zhuge Liang has already considered retreating from the army.
While not daring to fight, and not wanting to fight, the two sides started a confrontation on the Wuzhang Yuan line.
In the half a month that the two sides have been facing each other, no one dares to move first.
But at this time, Zhuge Liang suddenly noticed that in the large farmland west of Wuzhang Plain, the corn seemed to be ripe.
There are only two chapters today, and it snows heavily all the way back to the dormitory from another campus, and Shuzhong needs to rest......
