Chapter 620    Each has its own plans (31))

After Ma Liang became an official, he only took several years to work from an ordinary Jingzhou and became the second person who stayed in Jingzhou.

After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, Ma Liang was not affected. Instead, he was appointed as the chief minister by Liu Bei because he convinced Shamoke to make contributions.

Ma Liang's official position is second only to Zhuge Liang, Li Yan, Yi Ji, Jian Yong and others, and is already considered a high-ranking official in Shu Han and is enough to be proud.

But the thing he was most proud of was not these, but that he raised a son of a prodigy, Ma Bing.

Ma Liang's marriage was also held according to the traditional orders of his parents and the matchmaker's words. He and his wife had no interaction with him before marriage, so naturally there was no relationship.

Especially after returning from Shajiazhai, Ma Liang intentionally or unintentionally neglected his wife, but she had no complaints and acted more gentle and virtuous.

Since Ma Bing, an excellent son, the so-called mother is noble by her son, and Ma Liang's wife has a very high status in the entire Ma family.

Ma Liang's mother handed over almost all the power of the inner command to Ma Liang's wife.

Of course, Ma Liang's wife was born into a lady from a noble family. She not only had beautiful appearance, but also had the best choice.

He not only fulfilled his responsibilities as a good wife and mother to Ma Liang and his son, but also respected his parents-in-law.

After Ma Liang became an official, he was away all year round. His wife took care of the family affairs in an orderly manner and was recognized by her mother-in-law.

With Ma Liang's nature, he cared about his reputation very much, and he could not divorce his wife for no reason, and even had the idea of ​​marrying Sha Qiu as his concubine.

Sha Qiu is also strong and loyal, and it is obvious that he will not marry Ma Liang, and he is still alone in his younger sister.

The relationship between Ma Liang and Sha Qiu is sincere, and he has always felt guilty about Sha Qiu.

This time, when the Jingzhou battle was defeated, it was nothing that Ma Liang could not become an official, but it would never affect his son Ma Bing's future!

So, under Ma Su's arrangement, Ma Liang gave up half-heartedly and pretended to die with Shamoke and buried his name, living a life of hiding the beauty in the golden house.

Ma Liang's move was the right one!

After he pretended to die and pledged his name, Liu Bei paid the revenge for the fallen generals, and felt guilty towards the Ma brothers and appointed Ma Liang's son Ma Bing as the commander of the cavalry.

Ma Bing also received a salary, but because he was a polite official, he did not really become an official from the beginning to the end.

Because of his official position, Ma Bing successfully became the heir to the next generation of the Ma family.

The crime of defeat is not light!

The defeated general is likely to become the scapegoat for this great defeat and bring a catastrophe to a family.

In the Battle of Yiling that year, only Wu Ban, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were defeated by the generals of Shu Han who followed Liu Bei to fight.

All three of them can be regarded as royal relatives, especially Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, who have been following Liu Bei's side to guard him and belong to a family that will not be implicated.

They followed Liu Bei back to Xichuan, not only retaining their original position, but soon afterwards were promoted and reused.

The other civil officials and generals who followed Liu Bei to fight either died in battle or surrendered.

The attendant Ma Liang and the Wuxi barbarian leader Shamoke were both "dead" in battle.

Although he was a civil servant, he was not weak in martial arts and had a strong martial arts guard. However, he refused to abandon the ship and escape alone, and fought to death with a long halberd in his hand;

General Fu Tong was responsible for cutting off the rear, and was ready to die, and fought to the death without retreating.

The soldiers around him died for a while. Not only did they refuse to surrender to Sun Quan, but they also scolded the generals who persuaded surrender to be Wu Gou and died in a fierce battle;

Although they were unable to make up for the battle, they could still escape their lives with their martial arts.

The reason why they are determined to die on the battlefield is that they all have their own little abacus.

Shamoke and Ma Liang's purpose needless to say, is for the survival of the entire barbarian race and the rise and fall of the Ma family.

The reason why Fu Tongqi fought to the death was for his son Fu Qian, who was both civil and military.

Fu Tong did not die in vain. Liu Bei appointed Fu Qian as the Left Central Army because of Fu Hu's achievements in protecting the emperor. Although his position was only equivalent to Ma Bing, Fu Qian got a real position.

Cheng Ji gave up the opportunity to escape as a civil servant, and also for the future of his son Cheng Qi, who is the title of the four heroes in Shu, he had to die.

His death was also rewarded, and Cheng Qi was appreciated by Zhuge Liang. He became an official in the Prime Minister's Office and had a bright future, but unfortunately he died young.

Governor Feng Xi and pioneer Zhang Nan, although the family did not have outstanding talents, had to die for the sake of the safety of the family due to the situation.

If the two dare to surrender to Jiangdong, they will face punishment from the nine Yi tribes.

After the two died, Liu Bei did not treat these descendants and families who died in battle, and received land rewards and financial pensions.

The Shu Han generals Liu Ning and Du Lu were originally from Jingzhou. They were both children of a sideline family. They had little official positions and the family did not follow them into Sichuan. They were fighting for the family.

Now there is no hope of restoring Jingzhou, and I am in a desperate situation. For the sake of my own life and family safety, I directly surrendered to Sun Quan.

The Huang family is a great family in Xichuan. Huang Quan took away most of the young talents of the family this time.

At that time, Huang Quan took the initiative to cross the river to prevent Cao Wei, and was afraid that he would have prepared both ways.

Huang Quan was cut off from retreat by Lu Xun. He did not choose to fight to break through the siege or Sun Quan surrendered, but instead surrendered to Cao Pi. He also had his own little plan.

He chose to surrender to Cao Pi not only to preserve family talents, but also to alienate the relationship between Cao Pi and Sun Quan.

Huang Quan's actions were also considered a contribution to Liu Bei.

He expected that Liu Bei would not harm his tribe members in Xichuan, so he surrendered decisively.

Of course, such an operation cannot be the last decision of these generals. You must know that their decision is related to the safety of the entire family.

These aristocratic families, which occupy nine-tenths of the world's wealth, are used to enjoying the benefits of money and power, so naturally they will not put their families in an unfavorable situation.

They all put family interests first, and as for being loyal to Liu Bei's group for a lifetime, it does not exist.

Before the war begins, we will definitely prepare for the future.

They sent elite private soldiers to follow Liu Bei to fight and had already made preparations. The surrendered generals, including Huang Quan, were actually the "crawling rabbit three holes" operation of these big families.

No family will put eggs in a basket. They don’t want to be buried with them after the Liu Bei group is destroyed. They need to leave a way out for themselves.

Whether they defect to Cao Pi or Sun Quan, they all need the reasons, which is a must!

There is no sufficient reason. Even if Liu Ning and Du Lu lead the army to defect, all the family will be moved to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan will send someone to cleanse.

Because they are suspected of being undercover for Shu Han, this is a confidant who can "cooperate inside and outside", so naturally they will not have good results.
