Nanzheng, as the seat of Hanzhong County and the former base for the Northern Expedition of Shu and Han, has developed very rapidly in recent years. It's a bustling place now, and normally Ma Tan is happy to wander around here.

But now, Ma Jian is obviously not interested in seeing the bustling streets of Nanzheng. As he got closer to the county government, Ma Jian felt extremely stressed.

At this moment, the county government is like a tiger's den in Longtan, and Ma Jian is very worried that he will have to lie down and come out when he walks in.

Well...... Not really, right?

Didn't you just follow the established policy given by the prime minister, and died once or twice on your own initiative?

The prime minister should understand me, right?

Of course, when Ma Tan walked all the way to the county government, the news of his return had already spread. The entire Nanzheng officials, school captains, and generals all threw down their work and gathered in the county government.

No matter what time it is, the excitement is a must!

Soon, Ma Tan arrived at the county hall and came to the main hall under Chen's guidance. As soon as he entered the door, Ma Jian saw Zhuge Liang sitting on it, smoothly handling various government affairs.

I have to say that Zhuge Liang is the first model worker in Shu Han, he didn't rest for a moment just after the battle, and immediately began to deal with government affairs.

Fortunately, because the situation is better now, all the affairs in Shuzhong are handed over to Jiang Wan and others. Although Zhuge Liang still has government affairs, it is much less than before.

"Prime Minister! So-and-so is back! Ma Jian cautiously stepped forward and honestly handed over his hand to report.

"Coming back?" Zhuge Liang looked up at Ma Yan, and couldn't see if he was angry, but said lightly,

"Sit down."

Hearing this, Ma Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously found a seat and prepared to sit down.

"How dare you sit?"

Ma Tan's movements froze suddenly, and then he saw that Zhuge Liang had already put down government affairs and looked at him with a smile.

"You still know it's back! Horse Young! You are so capable, why don't you directly hit Luoyang and capture Cao Rui alive? ”

"What are you doing with it? Don't you want to fight? ”

"Well, it's a ...... without food."

"You kid still dare to talk back!"

Zhuge Liang was almost laughed out of anger, so it seems that Ma Jian really thought about hitting Luoyang directly?

"If I don't beat you hard today, you kid really doesn't know how thick the sky is!"

"Wei Gong! Bring me my baton! ”

"Good Prime Minister!" Yang Yi immediately came out of the screen behind her, holding a chicken feather Zen and offering it with both hands. Ma Jian could clearly see that Yang Yi's face was full of schadenfreude.

Here is the gift that Zhuge Liang prepared for Ma Tan, a chicken feather Zen made by Zhuge Kongming.

"If I don't beat you today, sooner or later you will bring the Han soldiers into a catastrophe! So for the sake of the future of the Han, today I have to let the boy have a long memory! ”

Zhuge Liang was obviously really angry, but this time it wasn't just talking.

Although Ma Tan's previous death was risky, most of the time it was a small-scale operation, and most of them had a backhand. Especially with Ma Tan's own strategy and bravery, most of the time he can turn danger into a disaster.

But this time in the battle of Nanyang, Ma Yan's death can be called nonsense. Ambushed 70,000 Wei troops with 10,000 troops, and finally used himself as bait to flood the three armies.

If it weren't for the luck of the nearby mountains, Ma Tan wouldn't have survived the torrent even if he had a hundred lives.

With such an act, how could Zhuge Liang not be angry, this is a big gamble with his life and the battle situation!

What if you lose your bet? What if the enemy doesn't take the bait?

Seeing that the prime minister was so angry, Ma Jian shrank his neck, but he still said cautiously,

"Prime Minister, so-and-so is also a last resort, the enemy army is large, and it is indeed difficult for us to resist head-on."

"At that time, there were more than 100,000 Wei troops in Yingchuan, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the Kwantung pseudo-Wei region. There are only 50,000 people in a certain hand, and they have to surround Wancheng on the one hand, beware of Wuguan, and block Xiangfan in the south on the other, and the troops are too scarce. ”

"We are in a weak position in terms of both national strength and military strength, can we win without a gamble?"

Although Ma Jian did deliberately make a mistake in terms of death, it was normal in general.

At that time, Kunyang's army was only 20,000, and the puppet Wei had more than 100,000 troops. If they didn't take advantage of the fact that their army was not fully assembled, and when the main force of the Wei army gathered in Kunyang, Ma Jian would be useless even if he wanted to.

In this case, Ma Jian himself had no other choice. After all, as a weak person, no matter how you choose in the face of the disparity in strength, it is actually wrong.

Ma Yan's explanation did make Zhuge Liang's face soften slightly, which is indeed a fact.

In fact, Ma Tan was able to go out of Wudang with 50,000 Han soldiers, and quickly recovered Nanyang in just one year, and pushed the front to Yingchuan is indeed a great achievement. Even if Zhuge Liang came by himself, he was not sure that he could do this.

"You! Take the results too seriously! Have you forgotten who you are? Zhuge Liang pointed at Ma Jian with a feather fan, and shook his head gently,

"You, the general of the Northern Expedition, are half of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, do you really think that you can save Nanyang if you die in battle?"

"What a joke, have you forgotten Xiahou Yuan's lesson!"

"Not next time, not next time!" Ma Jian nodded again and again, and assured Zhuge Liang that he was wrong. But if you dare to do it next time, this one will be put in quotation marks.

"Overall, you've done well this time. Not only did it recover Nanyang, but it also attracted a large number of Kwantung forces from the puppet Wei. At the same time, it can also prevent the sneak attack of Soochow and turn defeat into victory, which is indeed commendable. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly, and said calmly,

"Such a big victory is the biggest victory in the history of my great man. In any case, your reward will not be low when you return to Chengdu this time. ”

"When I return to Chengdu, I will personally give you a meritorious service, and Your Majesty will reward you. All military rewards will also prioritize your subordinates. ”

"Okay Prime Minister, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do." Ma Jian arched his hand to thank the prime minister for his cultivation, and then turned around and wanted to leave.

"I didn't say you could go."

Zhuge Liang's bland words caught up, making Ma Tan's smile freeze suddenly.

"Prime Minister, are you still angry?"

"Just because I'm angry doesn't mean I won't smoke you."

…………

On that day, the whole Nanzheng could hear Ma Tan's screams. The whole Nanzheng knew that the general of the Han Zhengbei was drawn by the prime minister himself.

This story teaches us that knowledge is power. Even if you are a mighty general who fights all over the world, you still have to be whipped in front of the prime minister.

And when Ma Tan came out of the county hall in a gray manner, he saw a large crowd of people crowded outside the door. The civil and military attachés, including Wu Yi and Chen Shi, were all outside the door, and the sheer number of them made Ma Jian suspect that the officials of the entire Nanzheng had run over.

Seeing the horse come out, everyone laughed and scattered, leaving Ma Jian alone in the same place with a black line.

Anyway, you've been watching the show, right?
