In fact, Ma Liang is also a rare talent.

In Jingzhou, Ma Liang's reputation among the younger generation is second only to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

However, in the Liubei Group, which is full of talents, is in its inception stage, and its official position has always been more monks and less porridge.

In terms of seniority, although it is not the turn of Ma Liang, who is younger than Zhuge Liang, rewarding his merits is the most important thing in terms of merit.

In a short period of time, it is almost impossible for Ma Liang to stand out based on his political achievements.

He was able to beat Pan Jun and Wang Fu had already done his best.

Although his political achievements are considerable, they are limited to Jingzhou. If he wants to get promoted and reused by Liu Bei, the only shortcut is to go on a mission to Jiangdong.

Before the Xiang River demarcation, Liu Bei was first polite and then military. Because of Zhuge Liang's recommendation, Ma Liang got the opportunity to go on a mission to Jiangdong.

Ma Liang lived up to Zhuge Liang's expectations, and his mission to Jiangdong was unprecedentedly successful, and he reached a Xiangshui boundary demarcation alliance that was absolutely beneficial to Liu Bei's group.

As a result, Ma Liangcai entered the core of the Liu Bei Group and became the veritable second-ranked figure in Jingzhou.

Originally, because of Ma Liang's death, Zhuge Liang felt heartbroken by his friend and wanted to reuse Ma Su as compensation.

Who knew that Liu Bei's words before his death made Zhuge Liang unable to use them.

This time, Zhuge Liang wanted to send Ma Su to the State of Wu. After Ma Su made contributions, he was promoted and reused.

Ma Su was both civil and military, and accompanied Liu Bei in Jiangdong for several months. He was very familiar with the officials in Jiangdong. He was on an envoy and established diplomatic relations with Sun Quan.

Moreover, Ma Su changed from military to civilians and managed government affairs from the military to local areas. At most, he could only be a county. He expected that there would be no adverse consequences, and it would not be considered contrary to Liu Bei's will before his death.

Zhuge Liang made up his plan and sent someone to notify Ma Su to come.

Who knew that news came from the Ma family: Ma Su had not returned from studying abroad. He heard that he was going to the southern barbarians and it was difficult to find it in a short time.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang was not surprised but happy!

Because of Meng Huo's rebellion, Zhuge Liang's alertness, he decided to conquer the southern barbarians before the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

The so-called "heroes' views are similar", Ma Su went deep into the Southern Barbarians to study, which was nothing more than to examine the customs and customs, and his intentions were obvious.

Zhuge Liang thought to himself that since Ma Su had guessed his own arrangements, he would be able to make contributions and promote him without any haste!

It was also a feasible way to make him achieve military achievements during the Southern Expedition. He also used Ma Su's strengths in military planning, so he changed his mind and wanted to find another person to go to the Eastern Wu.

Qin Mi and Zhuge Liang had a good personal relationship and seemed to be a good candidate, but unfortunately they were an official from the Yizhou Department.

Jian Yong, Sun Gan, Yi Ji and others from the veterans were all competent for the envoys. Unfortunately, they had too deep feelings with the Liu Bei brothers. They refused to reconcile with Sun Quan from the bottom of their hearts. If they might be counterproductive, they would never be able to use it.

Zhuge Liang was in a daze when he heard someone talking behind him, interrupting his thoughts, and he felt a little angry and wanted to scold him.

Zhuge Liang turned around and saw that it was the current emperor. He hurriedly abandoned his stick, bowed to the ground, apologized and said:

"I deserve to die!"

Zhuge Liang was forced by Liu Bei to accept the title of "Xiangfu" in Baidi City, but he did not dare to really act like an emperor's father.

When Liu Chan saw Zhuge Liang, he was very satisfied and quickly helped him up and asked:

"Cao Pi now divided his troops into five groups, and he was in a hurry to invade the situation. Why did the Xiangfu refuse to leave the palace to take matters?"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled but said nothing. He helped Liu Chan into the inner room and sat down, presented incense tea, and then said:

"Your Majesty, Cao Pi's five troops arrived, and the border urgent news had arrived long ago. How could I not know that I was not watching the fish, but actually thinking about the plan to withdraw the troops."

Liu Chan's eyes lit up and he asked:

"Can Xiangfu have a perfect solution?"

Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while and answered:

"King King Ke Bineng, Barbarian King Meng Huo, rebel general Meng Da, and Wei general Cao Zhen; I have sent troops to retreat from these four invading soldiers, and I have only Sun Quan's troops. I have already had plans to retreat, but there must be someone who can speak and speak and be eloquent. Since I have not obtained the right candidate, I think about it carefully, and Your Majesty does not have to worry!

After hearing Zhuge Liang's answer, Liu Chan was surprised and happy and sighed sincerely:

"Xiangfu has the opportunity to see ghosts and gods unexpectedly!"

He was very curious about Zhuge Liang's ability to withdraw from the five armies by sitting in the prime minister's mansion. He asked sincerely:

"I wish to hear the plan of Xiangfu's father to withdraw his troops."

Zhuge Liang stayed behind closed doors and asked Liu Chan to ask for advice.

Since the goal has been achieved, it is nothing more than asking Liu Chan to authorize him. Zhuge Liang naturally would not hide his strategy of retreating, so he replied:

"The late emperor entrusted his majesty to me, how dare I be negligent at any time! All the officials in Chengdu do not understand the magic of military strategy. The key is to make people unexpected. How can they leak it to others? After the old minister learned that the King of Xifan Kebi Neng led his troops to attack Xiping Pass, I guess Ma Chao was a member of the Western Qiang family and had always been the heart of the Qiang people. The Qiang people thought that the powerful general of the heavens was the last emperor. The late emperor failed to expedition and had arranged for Ma Mengqi to guard Xiping Pass. I had sent an envoy in advance, and ordered Ma Chao to guard Xiping Pass tightly, and he buried the four strange soldiers every day to exchange them. Kebi Neng was afraid of Ma Chao and did not dare to advance. There was no need to worry about this along the way. Meng Huo, the Southern Barbarians.

, The soldiers invaded the four counties, and I also sent a letter to Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi to lead an army, each leading the left and right, and the right and left, as a plan to doubt the soldiers. The barbarian soldiers rely on their courage and their hearts are suspicious. If they see the soldiers, they will not dare to advance lightly. This road is not worth worrying. Meng Da led his troops from Shangyong to send troops to Hanzhong. Wei Yan was already on guard and forgiven Meng Da for not be able to defeat Wei Yan, and Meng Da had a close relationship with Li Yan. His Majesty left Li Yan to guard the Yong'an Palace to block Lu Xun, and he also had plans to make Meng Da dare not easily invade the territory. I have written a book and sent it to Meng Da. In the name of Li Yan, Chen said it is great: saying that Meng Da cannot defeat Wei Yan

, if you advance, you will not be successful, if you lose, you will not be able to escape the blame. Meng Da will definitely not be able to express his illness, and he will be slow to be cautious. Cao Zhen leads troops to attack Yangping Pass; this place is steep and can be defended. I have already dispatched Zhao Yun to lead an army to guard the pass, but will not go out to fight. If Cao Zhen sees Zhao Yun's banner, our army will not come out, and he will not dare to attack the pass. He heard that the other four routes have no success and will retreat soon. These four routes are not enough to worry. I am still afraid that if there is any omission, I will secretly dispatch Guan Xing. Zhang Bao and the two generals led more than 10,000 troops to station in important places to rescue each route. The dispatching matters in these several places have not been moved because the Chengdu troops have not been moved.
