Attack on Titan: My World

Chapter 337: Three Kingdoms Late Heroes (3)

"The mountains here are so far away from the water source. If the enemy general Zhang He cuts off the water source, our army will collapse without a fight, and Jieting will be..."

Before Zhuge Liang could finish his words, the news of the defeat at Jieting had already arrived.

"Ugh……"

Wang Lun sighed, looked at Zhuge Liang, then at Sasha, not knowing what to say.

"The late emperor told me that these two people (Wang Ping and Ma Su) would indeed cause unexpected things to happen to people. It seems that their words are really going to come true."

Wang Lun used [Inner Voice] to read Zhuge Liang's inner thoughts.

"He simply overestimated Ma Su's ability and underestimated Wang Ping's ability."

Wang Lun continued to speak to Sasha, helping Zhuge Liang to speak out his true feelings.

"Zun Du Fake Du?"

Sasha said in disbelief.

……

After the fall of Jieting, Zhuge Liang reorganized his army and returned to Hanzhong. Wang Ping's troops and the remnants of Ma Su also returned to the barracks.

"Bring Ma Su up here!"

In Zhuge Liang's central military tent, he shouted to the outside.

After a while, Ma Su, tied up, was brought up.

"Ma Su, you really..."

Zhuge Liang looked at his students and seemed to be about to say something.

"Prime Minister, although Ma Su failed, he has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty. Can you spare his life for now?"

In the hall, an old veteran who was nearly 70 years old pleaded for him.

"It's him!"

Sasha was overjoyed, as if she had recognized an old acquaintance.

This person is Zhao Zilong from Changshan who went in and out of Changbanpo seven times!

"You are still strong despite your age. You are worthy of being called the Victorious General."

Sasha looked at [Zhao Zilong? Old Age] and praised.

"Zilong, thanks to you, we were able to stop the loss in time this time, allowing our army to regain its strength and retreat to Hanzhong."

Zhuge Liang looked at his former generals and praised them.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Zhuge Liang told Zhao Yun that he wanted to reward him.

"Prime Minister, the three armies have not achieved anything. If you reward me, it would be unclear about reward and punishment."

Zhao Yun said righteously.

"Haha, Zilong."

Zhuge Liang walked down the hall, held Zhao Zilong's hand, and said excitedly.

"Prime Minister, Zilong is already old, give these rewards to other soldiers."

Zhao Yun continued to decline.

"When the late emperor was alive, he always praised you for your loyalty and bravery when talking about Zilong. Now I see that you are not only loyal and brave, but also very righteous."

Zhuge Liang held Zhao Zilong's hand and said to the other generals. Hearing this, the others were deeply moved.

"Ma Su, do you admit your guilt?"

Zhuge Liang then changed the subject and questioned Ma Su.

"Ma Su lost Jieting and was willing to accept military punishment."

Ma Su did not argue, but confessed his guilt directly.

Zhao Yun wanted to plead for mercy again, but Zhuge Liang was already in tears and looked heartbroken, so he gave up the idea of ​​pleading.

"Rewards and punishments are clear, so that we can strictly discipline ourselves!"

Zhuge Liang cried and no one in the hall dared to speak.

"General, Wang Ping wants to see you!"

At this time, a general's voice came from outside the camp.

"allow!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Wang Ping entered the tent. He knelt there, knowing that he was to blame.

"Prime Minister, I am willing to be punished together with Ma Su."

Wang Ping knew his sin and said this to the prime minister.

“This is truly a man of integrity.”

Sasha looked at this hero from the late Three Kingdoms period and sighed.

"Do you know that setting up camp there is a big taboo in military strategy?"

Zhuge Liang pointed to the map on the tent and said to Wang Ping.

"You have advised me many times, but it is the military officer Ma Su who refuses to listen to me."

Wang Ping knelt there and pleaded for himself.

"Indeed it is."

Wang Lun also spoke for Wang Ping and was willing to prove that Wang Ping was innocent.

"Yes, I was stubborn."

Ma Su knew his guilt and did not want to implicate others, so he took all the blame.

At this time, the class system came with a reminder: In the Zhuge Liang's central army camp in Hanzhong, the Shu Han general who was kneeling there and tied up was the general who lost Jieting, Ma Su. Ma Su was Ma Liang's younger brother. He was familiar with military books and often discussed military strategies with Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was sometimes convinced by him and had too high expectations of him. Later, Zhuge Liang actually appointed him as the general of [Jieting]. However, Ma Su, who thought highly of himself, refused to listen to the advice of his deputy general Wang Ping and acted on his own, causing the Shu army to lose Jieting. Since then, Shu's Northern Expedition has become more difficult. [Combat Power]: null; [Defense]: null; [Mouth Escape]: 100; [Moves]: [Paper Talk], [Stubborn], [Advisor? Military Strategy] and [Willing to Use Military Law], etc.

"It can be said that he is the second Zhao Kuo."

Wang Lun looked at his hint and sighed, thinking that scholars were mostly useless people.

"Who is Zhao Kuo?"

Sasha heard the name and asked with interest.

"Someone similar to this guy."

Wang Lun looked at Ma Su and said to Sasha.

"Haha."

Sasha laughed, and it was unclear whether she was mocking Ma Su.

"why are you laughing?"

Wang Lun asked seriously.

"No, it's just... I just thought of something happy."

Sasha said this, not realizing that someone was about to die.

"Take him away and punish him by military law!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes were already filled with tears, and he threw the order down the hall as he spoke.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Ma Su also knelt down with tears in his eyes and thanked him.

“From now on, your children will be my children.”

Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Su being dragged out and bid him a final farewell.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Ma Su spoke even louder this time.

With a "click", the executioner outside the door executed Ma Su.

"Wang Ping, get up!"

Zhuge Liang wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve and said to Wang Ping.

"Prime Minister, I..."

Wang Ping said tremblingly, just like a child who has made a mistake.

"Now that Ma Su has been executed, you have made great contributions in leading the troops. I will appoint you as a military officer and promote you to the rank of [General Suppressing Bandits]!"

Zhuge Liang then rewarded him.

Because Zhuge Liang's rewards and punishments were clear, all the generals in the hall were convinced. So far, the rulers and ministers of Shu were united again and fought against the powerful enemy together.

……

"Wen Chang, the Prime Minister treats you well, why do you want to betray him?"

In the 234th year of the Giant Calendar, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, and Wei Yan took the opportunity to rebel.

As a general who was responsible for suppressing the rebels, Wang Ping was naturally obliged to help. He came to Wei Yan's unit and questioned Wei Yan.

"No reward for merit, but punishment for mistakes, is this still a clear distinction between rewards and punishments?"

Wei Yan told Wang Ping about his own sufferings and asked him questions in return.

"That's because the Prime Minister has been on guard against your wolfish ambitions."

Wang Ping took out the imperial seal and dismissed Wei Yan's troops. Ma Dai took out Zhuge Liang's treasure bag and said to Wei Yan.

"I know that Wei Yan will be killed by Ma Dai."

Sasha rushed to say.

"That's right. Zhuge Liang will certainly not treat a righteous man badly."

Wang Lun said this.
