Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After Ma Su received the reward and successfully opened the palace, the first thing he did was to deal with the northern border. Even the military system and the selection of forward strategies had to be moved to the back.

Now the capital of the Han Dynasty has moved from Shu to Guanzhong. While moving the Han's core sphere of influence northward, it also made control of the northern border a necessity.

In fact, whether it was the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, or even until the Tang Dynasty... as long as the capital was established in Guanzhong, the Hetao Plain must be completely controlled.

You know, the Hetao Plain and Guanzhong are basically close to each other, and there is only one Xiaoguan in the middle that can be used as a guard!

Although Xiaoguan is a dangerous pass, it cannot completely block the road going south. The forces in the Hetao Plain really want to go south to Guanzhong, and just a Xiao Pass is of little use.

Therefore, after opening the government and recruiting people, the first meeting Ma Di held was to discuss retaking the Hetao Plain.

It is worth mentioning that the Cavalry General's Mansion had just been established and the establishment was full in an instant. These include but are not limited to Liu Yin, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji, Zhang Yi, Deng Fan, Wang Ping...

Almost including most of the senior generals of the Han Dynasty, there were four of them just from conquering and conquering four towns.

"Now that His Majesty has moved the capital to Chang'an, and the Emperor's chariot has entered Guanzhong, the recovery of the entire northern territory must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

After convening the meeting, Ma Su said straight to the point without any nonsense.

"According to my discussion with the Prime Minister, at least this year, the scope of control will be extended to Shangjun to seal off all possibilities for enemy troops to enter Guanzhong. Within two years, the Han Dynasty's scope of control will have to be extended to Zhongtao."

"This is a relatively difficult task. After all, time is tight. Moreover, the main force of the Han army will not move. Only the troops from the four northern towns are available."

"Do you have any suggestions on this? If not, I will go into battle myself."

"General! I have..." Deng Fan immediately spoke, planning to present his strategy. However, before he could finish speaking, Ma Di immediately said seamlessly,

"Okay, since I don't have any suggestions, I'd better go ahead myself."

Deng Fan: "???"

"You guys will rest in Chang'an for two days. In three days, the General's Mansion will officially move north to Beidi County!" Ma Su didn't care at all about Deng Fan's confused eyes and immediately wanted to finalize the matter.

Just kidding, if I ask you to make suggestions and send people out, how can I still seek death? Especially in this context where the Han Dynasty is trying its best to move the capital, the opportunity to use troops will be used less and less.

Ma Su was not going to let go of such an opportunity, even if his chance of committing suicide was relatively slim.

However, Ma Su's wishful thinking may have failed this time, because someone who really knew him returned to Ma Su.

Shi Limu, the head of the Cavalry General's office, stood up directly at this time. He also did not lose face to Ma Su at all and said directly,

"Your Majesty! General Deng just said that he has suggestions, and if you leave on such a matter in the north, who will organize the promotion of the military system? If Guanzhong lacks your presence, there will be problems with the reform, I am afraid no one else can control it! "

"If you think about it, which is more important, the prospects of the Han Dynasty or the northern border, you should think twice!"

"What's more, if you leave, the military affairs in Guanzhong will have to be taken care of by the Shangshutai and the Prime Minister's Mansion. Prime Minister Zhuge's work is already very heavy, and the imperial doctor Hua Fei diagnosed him as overworked. You are doing this because you are afraid that the Prime Minister will not do enough work. …”

"Stop, stop, stop! Ziwen, stop nagging, why don't I go?" Ma Su was so shocked by what he heard that he raised the white flag in less than half a minute.

Although the two have not seen each other for five years, Li Mu still knows Ma Su best. The words he said were basically in the direction that Ma Su cared about, and the more he said them, the more outrageous they became, making Ma Su himself feel that it was too sinful to commit suicide.

His sins are so great that even the world would not be able to deal with him...

Being blocked by Li Mu, Ma Di could only ask Deng Fan to explain his plan.

Deng Fan stayed in the Northern Territory for nearly three years. Just like he did with the farming in Nanyang, he memorized all the mountains, rivers, landforms, and environmental climate in the Northern Territory. At the same time, he was also the founder of Beidi Military Town, and he had the most say in recovering the Hetao Plain.

"General, it is not difficult to attack the barbarians in Shangjun. You don't even need to be dispatched. Using only the troops from the two military towns in Beidi County, Shangjun can be recaptured in two months." Deng Fan took out a hand-drawn map. , with the topography and tribal distribution of the entire Shangjun clearly marked on it.

"After all, Shangjun has been hit hard by the Hu people in recent years. The reason why it exists is entirely because of the support of the Wei army in Bingzhou. So far, except Longmen Ferry, all other ferry crossings are controlled by our army, and the Wei army in Bingzhou is no longer able to support Shangjun. What a gangster."

"The general only needs to give me two towns of soldiers and horses. In less than three months, I can pacify Shangjun for the general and set up another military town here!"

"As for the Hu people in the direction of Wuyuan in the north, you can assign his generals to attack, and rely on Kirby, who has been held hostage for many years, to mobilize troops in the middle."

Deng Fan quickly listed the strategies needed in the northern border. The core point is to fight slowly. Because the cities in the counties in the Hetao Plain were severely damaged, if you want to control them securely, the only option is to push forward step by step.

So strategically speaking, Ma Su really has no use. Even if he knocked down the entire river in one wave, the Han army would not be able to gain a foothold in a short period of time, and would instead seriously waste resources.

After Deng Fan made such a grand strategy, and with Li Mu watching him eagerly, Ma Di had no choice but to nod and agree to Deng Fan's proposal. Finally, under Ma Su's appointment, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji, Deng Fan, and Zhang Yi were ordered to handle all affairs in the north.

Wang Ping was responsible for guarding Pujin Ferry and firmly blocking the Yellow River Ferry to support the northern border.

Of course, Deng Fan and the others were not only responsible for recovering lost territory, they also had to protect the safety of a prince and king.

After the ministers awarded the rewards, Ma Di asked Zhuge Liang to recommend him, and Zhuge Liang proposed to divide the princes among them. It turns out that Liu Chen, the last male of the Shu Han Dynasty who is famous in history, was named the King of Beidi, and several counties were designated as his food towns from Beidi County.

Regarding the enfeoffment, several princes had different expressions. Among them, Prince Liu Xuan laughed the loudest.

The Northland King Liu Chen looked confused. After all, the three-year-old child did not understand what he was about to face. But the task of protecting this Northland King also falls on the shoulders of Deng Fan and others. Generally speaking, the burden is not small.

After the General Hussars made a decision, the decision was handed over to Wei Yan for a seal, and implementation began immediately. From the beginning to the end, there was no interference between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the palace. It was just that Ma Su was required to hand over a backup in the end.

Since then, the four generals of the Northern Territory have been selected, and everyone in the Hussars' General Mansion is basically happy, except Ma Su.

Ma Su was very angry that the cooked duck flew away.
