In the Shu Han Dynasty, Ma Tan was personally rewarded by Liu Chan under the expectations of the public.

There are 100 catties of gold silk, and there are more than 10 people in the Ma clan because of the shade. And Ma Tan's son, who basically didn't see each other, was also named a liehou.

However, the reward for Ma Tan himself is not high, and he has not been promoted in the official position and marquis.

The main reason is that Zhuge Liang considered that Ma Jian would have more military achievements in the future, and sooner or later he would become the pillar of Shu Han. If the reward is too fast, I'm afraid it will soon be unsealable.

Ma Tan was indifferent to this, but he also understood why he was rewarded again.

A large number of projects that have not yet been launched in Longyou were picked up and operated by Fei Yi and them. As a result, the project was operated by Fei Yi to make money, and then reported that the credit was his horse's ......

Well, rounding off isn't that a ......

However, this time, the court did not specifically reward Ma Yan, but had another purpose. After rewarding Ma Tan, Zhuge Liang walked out slowly and saluted Liu Chan with a serious face.

"In the past, the first emperor always considered that the Han Dynasty and the thieves could not stand together, and the royal industry was not biased to one corner, so he asked his ministers to crusade against the Han thieves."

"With the discernment of the first emperor and the estimation of the talents of his subordinates, he knew that his subordinates were going to conquer the enemy, and the ability was weak but the enemy was strong. However, if you don't crusade against the enemy, the royal industry will also be defeated; Do you sit back and wait to be killed, or do you take the initiative to conquer the enemy? Therefore, he did not hesitate at all to appoint his subordinates. When His Majesty was appointed......"

"In the past, Xiang Yu guarded the solidity of Pengcheng, and with the richness of the Central Plains, he was proud of the talent of the overlord. But Gao Zu only relied on Hanzhong alone, and he could finally defeat Xiang Yu. ”

"Today's puppet Wei's soldiers are not as good as Xiang Yu, and the territory of the Han Dynasty is also stronger than Gaozu, how can you not break the thief? This is the first advantage of my big man! ”

…………

Facing Liu Chan and turning his back to the ministers, Zhuge Liang began to speak his thoughts in an orderly manner. The overall meaning is very clear to everyone, that is, the Northern Expedition is needed again!

Historically, Zhuge Liang will be released after his announcement last year, and his words and rhetoric make people feel sad when they look at it. The core of it is the five major doubts and the last sentence of Zhuge Liang: "The minister bowed and died." ”

Doing your best, and then dying and looking touching, is actually a complete tragedy.

The minister can only do his best to rest until death, and the success or failure is no longer something I can predict.

But now, because of the successive victories in the opening of the border, Zhuge Liang's sharpness and control of the future still feel good. So in this post-graduation table, Zhuge Liang began to talk about the advantages of the big man.

He listed five or six advantages of the Han Dynasty, and put forward the oath of "Han and thief do not stand together, and the royal industry is not partial".

"Today's soldiers and armor have been refined, and the soldiers are willing to fight to the death for the Han Dynasty, which is the precursor to the revival of the Han Dynasty. The soldiers in Guanzhong are in turmoil, Cao Zhen is seriously ill, and there are changes in the world today. If he can't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the minister to predict what will happen next. ”

Zhuge Liang's words were very fierce after a while, basically expressing the attitude of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In this battle, Zhuge Liang once again mentioned Fei Yi, Jiang Wan and others, and included his successor Ma Jian in it.

Hearing this, those who know the prime minister basically understand that the prime minister will not return to Chengdu for a long time.

As Zhuge Liang finished his last sentence, Zhuge Liang once again proposed the Northern Expedition.

Zhuge Liang's proposal was not disputed by anyone, and they all agreed with it. In the past two years, don't look at Shu Han, who is also fighting Wu and praising the ramp, in fact, the consumption of grain is very small.

After the victory of the war against Wu, the Marquis of Wu of the Han Dynasty took the initiative to reimburse the travel expenses and food expenses for the Han army, so that the war against Wu not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.

The soldiers also took food from the enemy, and the actual grain produced by their own families was less than fifty percent.

Therefore, the grain and straw in the treasury of the Han Dynasty are still full, which is enough to support the next round of the Northern Expedition of Shu Han. Moreover, at this moment, the local faction has completely lost power, and the officials of the central government are all Jingzhou faction and Dongzhou faction of the main battle faction.

"What the Prime Minister said is very true! How can the big man be in a safe corner? Pseudo-Wei stole my Han Mandate of Heaven, the crime deserves death, and I am inseparable from it! Liu Chan also nodded, stood up and said in person.

"Conquer the Central Plains! Return to the old capital! ”

"Kuang Fu Han Room!"

"The Han family is revived!"

The monarchs and ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty all expressed their positions, and the Third Northern Expedition officially began.

"In this battle, our goal is to attack Liangzhou in the north and wipe out all the Wei troops entrenched here. Later, the trade route to the Western Regions was opened and Yongliang was connected. ”

"But the person in charge of this place is Sima Yi, the former governor of Huainan of the pseudo-Wei Dynasty, which is not an easy person."

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, Chen Shi and other generals who were still in Chengdu gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The scribes who used to come and go were nowhere to be found, and only the generals who were fully dressed were left.

Zhuge Liang personally spread out the map and discussed the strategy of the Northern Expedition with the generals.

"We must first attack Jincheng County and occupy this place to cut off the connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong. Then the main force went north, all the way to attack Wuwei Jiuquan County, and recovered the entire territory of Liangzhou. ”

"During this period, the puppet Wei must send a large army to support Liangzhou, and the Qianghu people are also allied with the puppet Wei, and may attack the flank of our army at any time. So you have to leave a force to stop here......"

Zhuge Liang pointed to the east of Jincheng County, and then looked at the generals.

"Who's the handsome?"

"Me!" Ma Tan didn't say a word, Mao Sui recommended himself, and pressed Zhang Yi Chen Shi with both hands, and then stood up by himself.

Zhang Yi: "??? ”

Chen Shi: "??? ”

"Okay, let's go often." Zhuge Liang nodded, and then arranged the rest of the battle.

In this battle, except for Zhao Yun and Zhang He of Wudang, as well as Xiang Pet of Wuling, all the generals of Shu Han were all killed.

Liangzhou can't be defeated, and Shu Han in the northwest half can't sit steadily. Moreover, the trade routes of the Western Regions were very important to Shu Han, so Liangzhou had to be defeated.

"Gongyan, how many troops do we send in this battle?" Ma Yan dragged Jiang Wan beside him and asked the logistics captain.

"30,000 Shu soldiers, 15,000 Wudang flying troops, 15,000 Longyou horses, a total of 60,000." Jiang Wan glanced at Ma Yan and said lightly.

"That's it?" Ma Jian was a little disappointed, he thought he could have a hundred thousand.

"That's it? What you said ......" Jiang Wan almost laughed angrily, nodded and said.

"It's good to have 60,000, what do you want. What's more, the Wei army in Liangzhou is only 50,000, can they use so many soldiers to fight them? ”

You must know that the Northern Expedition to Longyou only dispatched 60,000 soldiers of the Shu army, and the others were auxiliaries. Now to fight a lonely Liangzhou, theoretically it doesn't need too many troops.

What's more, with the prime minister personally going out, how can it be so difficult.
