Wu lord Sun Quan entered the capital to assist the Han family, Liu Bei sent his son into Jianye as a hostage, this quid pro quo seems to be a fair, but there is a big risk in it, because Sun Quan has a son to grow up, once he tears his face, he can throw away his father's life and rebel again, but Liu Bei can't, there is no historical process of Liu Bei marrying Sun Quan's sister, he only has a baby son, and he wants to inherit his hegemony in the future, so that the only son is in the hands of Eastern Wu, which is not to be killed.

At that time, Liu Bei was furious, and no longer mentioned the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty to crusade against self-proclaimed emperor, and shouted directly: "Your Sun Quan is the murderer of my second brother, how can I forgive?" You go back and tell Sun Quan to wash his neck and wait for my sword to be swung down." Then he walked away.

Ma Liang opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, he could only say to Zhuge Jin with a wry smile: "Sir, don't be annoyed, my father-in-law has a deep brotherly relationship, and it is difficult to turn for a while, please go back, and wait for me to persuade you before giving you an answer." ”

Zhuge Jin stood in the big tent and whispered to Gary: "It's a pity to abolish the public because of private affairs, and it's sad to lose the only chance for the revival of the Han Dynasty." Then he shook his head and turned around helplessly, and strode away.

But Liu Bei's actions, Zhuge Jin's vicious words, made his tall image of serving the public in the ministers collapse, what a good opportunity to be included in Dongwu again, but it was wasted by his selfishness, it is really a pity.

But in fact, they are still deceived by Zhuge Jin's kindness, everyone occupies Jingzhou Jiangnan, and they are both land and water, how can they surrender to you? The beauty of thinking.

After sending Zhuge Jin away, Ma Liang stood outside the camp and pondered for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he returned to his tent to write a letter to Zhuge Liang and report to him what happened here.

Ma Liang was recommended by Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang has the grace of knowing Ma Liang, so he hopes to get Zhuge Liang's support for everything.

Now Ma Liang's idea is how to persuade Liu Bei to give up the attack on Jingzhou and manage the various places that have been occupied in his hands.

To speak in conscience, the eight billion money originally obtained by a group of old gentlemen who extorted Lu Peng had already been spent after years of war, and in the previous wars, the land and population were greatly reduced, so that the financial income was already beyond their means, and now the most important thing for the Han court to do is to rest with the people, and then everyone will work hard to take advantage of the rare opportunity when Lu Peng has not completely torn his face with himself, stabilize the entire ruling area, implement the enrichment of the people and strengthen the army, and prepare for the future Armageddon.

Who will you fight with the future Armageddon? Everyone in the world understands. And the opponent faced by Liu Bei's group is too powerful, so powerful that people feel desperate when they think about it.

But for the sake of their own goals and ideals, everyone has to fight whatever they say. In such a general situation, our own side must go all out to develop itself and strengthen itself in order to have a chance to fight.

And turning the face with Sun Quan will be another dragon and tiger fight, even if he wins, recaptures Jingzhou, and destroys Sun Quan, but his side will also suffer heavy losses, and it will be absolutely difficult to recover without a chance of three or five years.

In three or five years, will Lu Peng give it to himself? The answer is obviously very obvious.

In this group, except for Guan Zhang, only Zhuge Liang can say that Liu Bei can be moved, so then write to Zhuge Liang and say his thoughts calmly, hoping that Zhuge Liang can come forward to talk about Liu Bei.

After the letter was written, he sent a confidant to Liyang to deliver the letter in person, and then stood up and walked around the big tent, and finally decided to go to Liu Bei again and try his best to persuade him, hoping that he would change his mind.

Thinking of this, Ma Liang didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly entered Liu Bei's military camp again and asked to see Liu Bei.

Ma Liang still appreciates it in Liu Bei's mind, this person is young and promising, and always works hard, and he will be the leader of the younger generation in the future, and Ma Jian among the five brothers of the Ma family has stood out in the army, can be literate and martial, and has become the leading figure of the military generals of the later generation of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang also carefully cultivated him, as if he already had the meaning of handing over the burden to him in the future. These two brothers are literate and martial, and they will definitely be the pillars of the Han Dynasty in the future. When he heard that Ma Liang asked to see him, he immediately recruited him.

Seeing Liu Bei, Ma Liang respectfully saluted.

Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand: "Ji Chang, you and Gu are not outsiders, and if you want to come over, you don't need to be notified by someone at all." Then he pointed to the side: "Sit down and say something." ”

Being treated so favorably by the lord, Ma Liang was deeply moved, and after thanking him again, he sat down beside Liu Bei and raised his eyes to look at Liu Bei, but found that there was a trace of joy and relaxation on his face. For Liu Bei's expression, Ma Liang's heart sank, the enemy is current, the main general is not cautious, but relaxed, this is definitely not a good thing.

So Ma Liang asked cautiously: "I don't know why the lord is so relaxed?" ”

Liu Bei smiled at Ma Liang and asked, "Ji Chang thinks that Zhuge Jin came over just now, what is the opinion?" ”

Ma Liang immediately replied: "The conditions proposed by Mr. Zhuge Jin are considered acceptable by our subordinates, so that we can reoccupy Jingzhou without blood, and at the same time we can get the wealth of Jiangnan, which is very beneficial to us, plus the talents of Jiangnan, as long as we give us another three or two years, we will have the ability to compete with Lu Peng, so my subordinates came here this time to ask the lord to accept this condition." ”

Liu Bei laughed: "Ji Chang is still young, the heart is sinister, you haven't learned yet." ”

Ma Liang immediately stood up and bowed to salute: "The lord is right, my subordinates are only shallow and inexperienced, and I ask the lord to teach me." ”

Liu Bei smiled faintly: "I am a poor person, I have experienced countless ups and downs, and setbacks and difficulties are commonplace, so I have suffered a lot of losses, and naturally I have experience, in fact, Zhuge Jin brought Sun Quan's conditions, and he can't fulfill them at all, this is just Sun Quan'er perfunctory shirk from me." ”

Liu Bei is indeed right, on the people who suffer the most losses and failures in the world, Liu Bei dares to say second, no one in the world dares to say first, at this point, Liu Bei is proud and not ashamed but proud.

Ma Liang stood up again and respectfully asked: "The subordinates are stupid, but they don't know the key, and they ask the lord to teach." ”

Good teacher, this is the common nature of people in the world, especially the superiors, only in this way can I show that I can be your boss, because I am smarter than you. Therefore, Liu Bei looked at this loyal subordinate with satisfaction, and analyzed Sun Chuan's mentality to him and the reason why it was impossible to agree to this condition.
