Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 16 I am very optimistic about you

Are you Ma Youchang?

At the gate of the Public Security County House, Ma Su looked calmly at the black-faced man in front of him who looked like an iron tower and asked questions to him.

With the information given by his brother Ma Liang, Ma Su had already found the No. 1 person in his mind just by looking at his appearance and tone of voice:

Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's lieutenant general, also named Yide.

Return to Zhonglang General, a certain Ma Su, from Yicheng.

Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and said, Wrong! I am now the General of Zhenglu! Let's do it again.

Ma Su bowed slightly and said, General Zheng Lu, a certain Ma Su, a native of Yicheng.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and patted Ma Su on the shoulder: Ma Su, do your best, I'm very optimistic about you!

No, your expression doesn’t mean you’re optimistic about me at all, you’re still laughing! Ma Su shouted in his heart.

Under Ma Su's calm face was Ma Su's aggrieved heart.

He had read poetry and books since he was a child but preferred military books. His fourth brother, Ma Liang, was famous for his talents and was recruited by Liu Jingzhou as a soldier. The nineteen-year-old Ma Su was very envious.

So after some pleading, the fourth brother finally gave Ma Su the opportunity to serve as an official! And he was still beside the famous Zhuge Kongming!

After following his eldest brother to Gong'an County, Ma Su met Zhuge Kongming. But what was different from what he expected was that Kongming was very affectionate towards his eldest brother Ma Liang. After holding hands and chatting, Ma Liang asked Ma Liang to verify the tax situation of Wuling County this year and asked him to do so. Records of visits to the countryside, a standard practical position.

As soon as his eldest brother Ma Liang left, Kong Ming's smile became polite and he said lightly, There is still a vacancy for a concierge in the Public Security County House. If it is convenient for you, Changru, you can take over for a few days so that you can get familiar with the inside and outside of the Public Security County. Then he sent Ma Su to guard the county. The door is open.

I, Ma Su, have been studying military science for twelve years, and now I am reduced to a servant!

After the grievance, I just couldn't understand why I seemed so famous?

Today, after Duke Xuande came over and asked his name, he stared at himself for a while and then shook his head and went in.

Although General Zilong and General Huang did not stop, they looked at him with curiosity in their eyes.

General Guan didn't ask anything. He patted himself on the shoulder and went in, as if the two of them knew each other well.

But this General Zhang seemed to have a problem with him and went out of his way to make things difficult for him!

Ma Su was confused about this. Why did he seem so famous? Or is it that the eldest brother is familiar with these generals?

Within the public security county government, this side office has now become a secret place. Only the four generals Zhang, Zhao, and Huang can pass without Liu Bei's handwriting.

Kong Ming even moved his office here directly and spent more than half of his time in this side hall every day.

Zhang Fei pushed the frozen persimmon toward the fire and said:

This Ma Su doesn't look very smart.

General Zhang must have made things difficult for Ma Di! Zhao Yun chuckled: I think he is not dissatisfied when he is humiliated by Kong Ming. He is indeed not an ordinary person.

Isn't it just to look at the gate? I, Old Zhang, can do that too! Zhang Fei snorted: The main thing is that I think if it weren't for him, the military advisor wouldn't have died so early. The military advisor would have died early, and Adou, the one who didn't live up to his expectations, would have died so early. No one cares, Adou...

Stop, stop, stop! Liu Bei slapped his forehead and wanted to block Zhang Fei's mouth with persimmons.

For the time being, Zhang Fei, who kept his mouth shut, was forgotten.

Liu Bei folded his hands and huddled around the stove like an old farmer to keep warm. Although it didn't snow in Gong'an County, it was still cold in winter, especially when the coldness seemed to penetrate deep into his bones. He cleared his throat and said:

The main purpose of calling everyone here today is to officially announce that Guan Yunchang will be added as General of the Dang Kou, Zhang Yide will be added as the General of the Conqueror, Zilong Qian will be the General of the Rebellion, and Huang Han will be promoted as the General of the Conqueror.

Several people held their hands in confusion, and their voices were not uniform: Thank you, brother/lord.

In fact, everyone knew about this before, and Liu Bei had been thinking about it for a long time. The request for the reward had been sent to Xudu, and it was basically a done deal.

How did the test of the curved plow and the round car go? Liu Bei asked Zilong.

Although it was originally planned to work with Zilong to see the effect, towards the end of the year, Liu Bei's affairs gradually increased and he was unable to do anything. In addition, Zilong had always been reliable in doing things, and finally took over full power.

Because the handles of the new plows were curved and the water wheels were perfectly round, they were simply called curved plows and round wheels.

A great success! The people praised it a lot! Zhao Yun was very excited when he said this, and at the same time he cupped his hands to Zhuge Liang and said: There were many things that were unclear when it was first built. Fortunately, Mrs. Huang sent someone to send me the notes. The craftsman has completed the production according to Mrs. Huang's notes, and the Lord can check it out later!

Mrs. Huang is good at this? Liu Bei was very surprised.

Zhuo Jing has been skilled in ingenuity since he was a child. Kong Ming said modestly: After seeing the drawings of the round cart and the curved plow that night, I stayed up late to study and completed it within three days.

You have such a talent!. Liu Bei praised: Allow a team of women to work with Mrs. Huang to study the skills. After that, if there are technical drawings for the light curtain, they will be sent to Mrs. Huang as soon as possible.

I would like to thank my lord on behalf of Zhuo Jing. Kong Ming bowed and thanked him, and then took out a letter:

My lord, this morning I received a letter from Jiangdong.

Oh? Liu Bei opened the letter from Kong Ming's hand and read it quickly. As he read, the surprise on his face became clear:

Zhou Gongjin wrote to invite me to be a disciple of Dan. Jiangdong wants to betroth Marquis Wu's sister to me so that we can have a good relationship and the two families will be reconciled.

If there was no light curtain, the civil servants and generals would be happy at this time, but now that they heard the news, there was inevitably a look of worry on their faces.

Among them, Zhang Fei is the most irritable:

Bah! If you really want the two families to be repaired, you should send my sister-in-law over here directly!

The black-faced man jumped on his feet and said: As long as the big brother gives the order, I, Old Zhang, will be the pioneer to march on the Dan disciples! Even if the Dan disciples are turned upside down, we must find out the Lu Xun who set the fire, and then use fire...

Zhang Fei was stuck for a moment and didn't know what to say. He said seriously that Lu Xun really hadn't done anything wrong so far.

Liu Bei was very moved, and then waved his hand to signal Guan Yu to throw Zhang Fei out.

Zhao Yun's thoughts were quite delicate: My Lord, Jiangdong must be on guard. Yun please bring Baima Yi to protect Lord Zhou.

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong looked at each other and clasped their fists:

My lord, Yu/Zhong, please be my lord's personal guard!

Liu Bei didn't answer for the time being, and looked at his military advisor. Kong Ming's eyes were also full of worry.

At this moment, Ma Su reported outside the door: My lord, the military advisor has an urgent letter. The sender is an old friend from Jiangdong who claims to be the military advisor.

After two breaths, Liu Bei's steady voice came: Come in.

Ma Su held the letter and walked into this mysterious side hall.

Unexpectedly, this side hall is ordinary, and it is not full of confidential pictures and texts as rumored in the palace. Now, several people under Liu Bei's rule are warming themselves around the stove as usual, but the atmosphere seems a little tense?

Before Ma Su could finish thinking about it, Liu Bei stood up and took the letter. At the same time, he patted Ma Su on the shoulder encouragingly: Ma Su, work well under the military advisor. I am very optimistic about you!

Although the words were the same as Zhang Fei's, they had a completely different feeling in Ma Di's ears. The lord really thinks highly of me!

So several generals in the hall saw the new recruit tensed up and bowed to the end: I am willing to die in the service of our lord!

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong stroked their beards and smiled, while Zhang Fei hid aside and muttered: I, Lao Zhang, have never seen you so solemn when praising you...

During the Battle of Chibi, in order to better deal with Cao Cao, Sun Quan moved his seat from Kuaiji to Dantu (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province). In 211, he moved his seat to Moling (now Nanjing). In 212, he changed the name of Moling to Jianye. In 229, he moved his seat to Wuchang. Proclaimed himself emperor and established his capital in Wuchang (today's Ezhou). In his later years, Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye again after easing the conflicts with Shu Han. It’s a lot of tossing.
