Not to set up a written document is the biggest premise for the imperial court to negotiate the delivery of Nanyang here.

In this case...... Lu Yi naturally wanted the lion to open his mouth and bargain fiercely.

The written document is a sharp weapon to attack the prestige of the Han court at present, if it cannot be achieved, then it will have to swallow Liangzhou in one bite.

As a premium compensation for swallowing Liangzhou, Lu Yiduo handed over a total of 5,000 war horses to Nanyang in the two years after the Ming Dynasty, so that the imperial court could have a few reliable cavalry troops when it recovered the capital and attacked Hebei.

At present, the size of the cavalry on the imperial court side is about 3,000 cavalry...... The army is downsized, and the maintenance cost of the cavalry is much higher than that of ordinary infantry, so it is naturally within the scope of downsizing.

The cavalry was the most ruthless, except for Zhang Fei on the front line, who had 2,000 cavalry, the rest of the cavalry was in Jiangdu.

Other downsized cavalry were also concentrated in the sparsely populated Lianghuai for military cantonment, and large and small horse farms were set up between the military cantonment strongholds to breed with retired war horses.

This is the only feasible means to replenish the war horses, and it is expected that the Wei State will smuggle the war horses, or wait for the northern government to open up the circulation of war horses...... At least there is little hope for the next three or five years.

In three or five years, it is better to do it yourself, concentrate horse resources, and carry out planned breeding to ensure the expansion of excellent horse breeds.

War horse breeding, three years to see a splash, five years to have some effect, if ten years later...... Naturally, there can be no shortage of horses.

Disarmament, recuperation, and the great rejuvenation of Ma Zheng are the effective means of the imperial court to counter the northern government.

It is determined that Beifu is unwilling to rebel for no reason, even if the delivery of Nanyang is postponed indefinitely, as long as Beifu does not rebel for a day, the Han court will always be controlled by people who are interested in the Han family...... Then there is hope.

After seven or ten years, the Han army will recuperate for a generation, and the war horses will also breed for three or four generations.

If it really reaches the point of self-reliance, then Yizhou is very important...... There must be someone who has a firm grip on Yizhou, lest there be some kind of evolution in Yizhou that favors Beifu.

The Ba people have always been a cheap and low-cost security army and mercenary army in Yizhou, but now because of the main temple of soldiers, they have always relied on the Ba people in Yizhou and can no longer be trusted.

Relying only on the Han army and the southern middle soldiers in Yizhou could not effectively curb the encroachment of the northern province.

Only when the prime minister sits in Yizhou can he cut off all kinds of clues of internal and external collusion and ensure that Yizhou is clean and reliable.

If Yizhou can't withstand it and is gradually encroached upon, then other states and counties will naturally not directly confront Beifu; Losing the leader of Yizhou, and then losing the support of other states and counties, the ministers who are loyal to the Han family above the court are naturally like a castle in the air, and it is useless to speak.

Without a place to support, what is the use of the Han court?

Therefore, whether Yizhou can withstand the encroachment pressure of the northern government is the key to whether the imperial court can implement the first five-year plan of 'restoring people's livelihood' and the second five-year plan of 'war horse self-sufficiency'.

The development plan of ten years of life gathering, accumulating war horses, and counteracting the advantages of the Wei army's cavalry was the only plan of the Han court to counter the northern province and restore the whole country.

Therefore, whatever Beifu moves, it can't move Yizhou, nor can it move the capital, and if these two places are moved, the imperial court will have no way out.

Tian Xin is unwilling to fight a civil war, Guan Yu is also unwilling to fight, how can the prime minister be willing?

The negotiations proceeded steadily until the news of Ma Liang's death reached Jiangdu.

In the General's Mansion, Guan Yu was in a complicated mood, Ma Liang's death was not an accident, and it was not surprising that Chen Zhi, who happened to be investigating the case in Feihu Mountain, expressed his attitude towards this matter.

Ma Liang is dead, if Ma Liang is forcibly kept, the damage to the law and prestige of the court will be too deep; Now suppressing the northern mansion depends on the prestige of the imperial court, if the image of self-destruction, the government and the opposition are cold and disappointed, then many things will be ruined. March Chinese

Therefore, Chen Zhi suggested that he should not delay and quickly conclude this serious case that attracted the attention of all parties as soon as possible.

When someone dies, the case has to be judged.

As a result, Li Yan, the court commander, was summoned to the General's Mansion to prepare for the drafting of the verdict...... If it is appropriate, if Guan Yu nods here, he can come up with a disposal method on the spot.

This obviously does not conform to the procedure, and at least after the escorted military officials at all levels arrive, they will be interrogated and draw new confessions in order to determine the main responsibility of the middle and high-ranking military officials in the case of 'illegally sending troops to attack Wei.'

Every military officer above the battalion commander level is destined to be guilty, but there is only a difference between a major crime and a small crime, and they should have a chance to defend themselves in court.

But what is there to interrogate here?

Compared with the sturdy body of two or three years ago, Guan Yu has lost two laps of weight, but his skeleton is wide and his eyebrows are even more powerful: "Ma Jichang is dead, and it is a serious crime." I expect that it should be Ma Jichang's greed for merit, deceiving Tian Guorang, and coercing Huang Xi and others, so that he was able to send troops. ”

Guan Yu's tone was indifferent, and he seemed to be untouched by Ma Liang's death, so that Li Yan couldn't see his emotional changes.

Li Yanduan sat down and pondered.

From the perspective of the normal troop dispatch procedure, Ma Liang and Tian Yu have complete tiger talismans, and if they are defending against the invasion of the Wei army in the territory, they can directly transfer troops with normal military documents.

But this is a planned cross-border dispatch, so at the beginning of the troop transfer, Ma Liang had to issue relevant combat orders.

Ma Liang did not have a holiday, and he was subordinate to Zhang Fei, the military commander of the four states of Kwantung, so he had to show Zhang Fei's combat orders here, as well as the tiger talisman he had issued.

After the military officials above the rank of battalion governor and military chief officer have collectively inspected and confirmed that they are correct, this is a legal dispatch of troops.

But Zhang Fei did not sign a similar official document, so Ma Liang was naturally the mastermind and main responsibility for the illegal dispatch of troops; Tian Yu and the military officials above the battalion governor level in the army were all guilty of complicity and negligence.

Therefore, it is necessary to interrogate all officers above the battalion commander level in order to make a detailed distinction between the culpable and the guilty.

But Ma Liang is dead, and it seems necessary to hold the other military officials accountable severely, but in reality it does not make much sense.

Seeing that Li Yan was always silent, it seemed that he wanted to confront himself for the sake of judicial justice.

Guan Yu added: "Tian Guorang is innocent, this is the former minister of the first emperor, his siblings, and he has the talent of the pillar, I can't bear to implicate him." If Ma Ji is always here, he can still clear the grievances of the country. This horse season is often absent, who can return the country's innocence? ”

"Zhengfang, I have read the file several times, Ma Ji Chang is really the mastermind, and the crime is unforgivable."

Guan Yu said in a relatively close tone: "I pity the innocent officials, why is it ruthless? ”

Seeing this, Li Yan only felt that his neck was a little cold, and he nodded slowly: "Well, the Tingwei Mansion will deal with it at its discretion and not let good people be wronged." ”

Hearing Li Yan's change of words, Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, showed a slight smile, and was limited by his mood, and said with a smile: "Zhengfang, the country is the arm of the imperial court, and all hopes will be protected." This matter, from the perspective of filial piety, is also praised. ”

Would it be applauded?

Li Yan didn't know, he only felt that Ma Liang committed suicide and had the intention of protecting Tian Yu, but Tian Yu had to suffer a lot of moral pressure.

Sometimes, it is the greatest difficulty to live.

Obviously, now is the most difficult time for Tian Yu, but fortunately, there are still generals who are willing to protect themselves.
