Chapter 471: Murder and Heart

Ma Tan's extremely arrogant attitude under the city made all the Eastern Wu generals in the city angry. Most of the generals were eager to go into battle immediately and tear Ma Jian in half with their own hands.

The most capable general you were back then died at our hands, and the emperor also suffered defeat at our hands.

Especially because in these years, except for Zhuge Liang's Eastern Expedition, Dongwu has not had a hard fight with the Han army for several years. Moreover, most of the last time Zhuge Liang spent most of his time in meditation and waiting for opportunities, and the Eastern Wu side lacked an understanding of the combat power of the Han army.

Of course, there was also a group of generals in Eastern Wu who knew the combat strength of the Han army very well. For example, Sun Huan, such as Zhu Ran, it's just that this group of people is ...... now

In a series of problems and Lu Xun's past few years, he has never won a battle since he fought the Battle of Shiting. After a series of defeats and rumors, the young generals of Eastern Wu seriously distrusted Lu Xun's ability.

But they don't trust it, but Lu Xun is still responsible after all. When all the angry bullfights, Lu Xun was still unmoved, and focused on giving orders, but there were fighters who beheaded.

Seeing that the generals of Dongwu at the head of the city were furious, but there was no sign of battle, Ma Jian knew that Lu Xun could still hold the field. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that you can't rush if you want to take Gangneung.

In this case, Ma Jian did not consume it with them. After humiliating the Eastern Wu captives in public, Ma Tan ordered someone to tattoo words on the faces of Xu Kai and others. Then he threw them a gift for Lu Xun and led people away.

And from beginning to end, Lu Xun has been doing nothing, completely watching the Han army interspersed with dribbling in Nanjun. Until the end, when the Han army withdrew, Lu Xun was still sent out of the country.

When Xu Kai had the words "Dongwu rat generation" tattooed on his face and returned to Jiangling with Ma Tan's gift, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lu Dudu, this is a gift from Ma Tan, he praised you for being really a Dongwu rat!" Xu Kai looked disdainful and dissatisfied with Lu Xun, and directly handed a wooden box to Lu Xun.

However, this action was like stepping on Lu Xun's tail, and Lu Xun took several steps back.

"Wait, you open it first and see what it is!" Lu Xun looked vigilant, as if this box contained a wild beast.

The last time Ma Jian gave him a gift box, it was still sparse horse manure, fresh! At that time, it was not possible to deal with Lu Xun's diaphragm, so he resolutely stopped being a horseman.

Soon, Xu Xukai opened the box, which contained a ...... made of Shu brocade Belly pocket!

After seeing that it was not horse manure, Lu Xun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. But he suddenly came to his senses, turned around suddenly, and sure enough, he saw that the generals around him looked at him with deep disappointment.

Murder and heartbreaking! Is all this in Ma Tan's calculations?

Lu Xun almost fainted in front of him, but in the end he still gave the order forcefully. Let the generals report the results of the battle to the back, and force Jingnan to transfer troops into Jiangling.

Since Ma Tan appeared today and can appear outside Gangneung City, he can't be sure when he will be able to come again. The Hanshui defense line can only be vigilant against the large forces of the Han army, if Ma Jian is interspersed with small troops every day, Lu Xun really has no way at all.

"Ma Tan, Ma Tan! Why aren't you dead yet!! ”

At the same time that Lu Xun scolded Ma Tan, Ma Tan, who led the Han army to retreat north, sneezed several times. This made Liu Xuan a little worried, worried about whether his father had a cold.

"It seems that this one makes Lu Xun angry." Ma Tan touched his nose, turned his head and glanced at the direction of Jiangling City again, shook his head lightly and said.

"If Gangneung is still the same scale as before, then there is no need to be so troublesome and calculating."

"It's a pity that Jiangling, the grain hoarded in it is enough to make up for all the deficits of the Han now."

As a native of Jingzhou, Ma Jian also understands how rich this enemy is. Even if Jingbei is dilapidated, only Jingnan's tax grain is enough to support the current deficit of the Han Dynasty.

It looks like we have to find a way to recover Jingzhou this morning.

Ma Jian thought so, but before that, Ma Jian had to return to Nanyang County to continue to implement the law of desertion.

There are at least tens of thousands of refugees in Nanyang, and the relocation of such a large number of people is not a small project. Not only did they need to provide supplies along the way, but they also had to send troops to maintain law and order on the way out.

If law and order fails, so many displaced people are likely to cause riots. At that time, the desperate homeless people will fall into the grass or rob and flee, and the blow to the already dilapidated Nanyang will be huge.

Therefore, Ma Jian must personally lead the subordinates to supervise and send them to prevent problems.

So after Ma Tan returned to Yicheng with the Han army, he immediately took hundreds of his own soldiers to guard the prince, and went north non-stop to participate in encouraging the escape from the famine.

As it turned out, Ma Yan's worries were not unreasonable. When the displaced people marched to the vicinity of Wancheng, there were already some ill-intentioned people who encouraged the displaced people to make trouble.

Fortunately, Ma Tan accompanied the Han cavalry throughout the whole process, and when he noticed that there was a riot among the homeless, he immediately started to suppress it. At the same time, Wang Ping of Wancheng also sent 2,000 foot soldiers to support, and under the deterrence of the soldiers, the riot was quickly quelled.

When the army fleeing from the famine went north along the Wuguan Road, Wu Ban, who was guarding Wuguan, also received the news early and came to meet him with his troops. It wasn't until the army of escapees arrived at Wuguan and began to enter Guanzhong that Ma Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

After passing the martial pass, it is the territory of Guanzhong. At this time, there were 20,000 garrisons in Weinan alone, which was enough to stabilize the displaced people and provide disaster relief work in Wancheng Tuntian.

"Youchang, you are really going to add life to the prime minister." Wu Ban looked at such a large number of homeless people, and shook his head a little helplessly.

"Originally, it had just been laid down, and various affairs were cumbersome and difficult to handle. You, who have tens of thousands of displaced people all at once, have come in...... This year, Guanzhong is afraid that the grain and straw may not be able to support the relocation of the capital. ”

"This is also a matter of no choice, these are the subjects of the Han Dynasty, can we sit idly by?" Ma Tan spread his hands, helplessly but still resolutely replied.

"The Later Han Dynasty perished because of the rotten wood as an official, and the corpse was vegetarian. I am a great Han Sanxing, but if I don't learn from history and don't apply benevolence and righteousness, I'm afraid ......"

"Okay, don't talk about this for me, I can't understand a martial artist." Wu Ban rolled his eyes and directly interrupted Ma Yan's words and said,

"It seems that the war in Nanyang is over? Just return to Chang'an with the army to rest for a while. Our generals have been fighting for so many years, it's time to rest for a few days, and I'll invite you to drink when we return to Chang'an......"

"I can't go back to Chang'an now, I still have a battle." Ma Tan shook his head and quickly rejected Wu Ban's invitation.

"I still have a battle to fight!"

"Father Xiang still has a war to fight? Take me one! ”
