First of all, he designed to rebel against Pang Xi, who was closest to Liu Zhang, from the beginning of Pang Xi's rebellion, Liu Zhang had already been defeated, if it wasn't for Ma Hongjingzhou being lost, Liu Zhang would have lost faster. Although Liu Zhang was cowardly, although he was not as good as his father and brother, he was a self-aware person and chose to surrender.

There must be a reason for a person's failure, and Liu Zhang's reason is obvious, that is, his position is unstable and people's hearts are uneven.

The barren counties in the south of Yizhou were occupied by Yonghong, Zhu Bao, and barbarians led by Meng Huo, Wutugu, and Gao Ding.

According to Ma Hong's intentions, Hu Du first sent people to reconcile with Yonghong and the barbarians to avoid war with them, and then let Hu Du, Wei Yan, Fa Zheng, Meng Da, Zhang Song and others settle the northern part of Yizhou and absorb talents.

Ma Hong ordered to treat Liu Zhang's father and son well, and originally wanted to appoint Liu Zhang as the Lintong Taishou, but Liu Zhang recommended his son Liu Xun to serve as the Lintong Taishou on the pretext of being old and unwilling to accept the appointment. As Liu Zhang's loyal general, Zhang Ren saw that Ma Hong treated Liu Zhang's family well, and chose to be loyal to Ma Hong under Hu Du's repeated requests.

Under Ma Hong's instructions, Hu Du visited Huang Quan three times, and Huang Quan finally chose to work for Ma Hong. After Huang Quan took refuge in Ma Hong, the Wenchen led by Huang Quan basically took refuge in Ma Hong.

The battle between Changsha and Jiangxia fell into a stalemate, and Ma Hong and Zhou Yu also realized that Liu Bei did not want to fall into a protracted battle, so they chose a combat strategy and began a confrontation with Liu Bei.

Eastern Wu began to transport a large amount of grain and grass to Jiangxia County and Changsha County, Ma Hong also began to transport grain and grass from Yizhou and Hanzhong to Nanjun County and Changsha, and Ma Hong and Sun Quan began to launch an economic blockade against Liu Bei from the economic perspective. Ma Hong also wrote to Cao Cao, persuading Cao Cao not to trade with Liu Bei, Cao Cao was busy fighting Hebei, Ma Hong pacified Yizhou, of course he expected Ma Hong not to come to harass him, naturally agreed to Ma Hong.

In terms of operations, Zhang He's corps in Changsha and Liu Ye and Pang De's corps in Jiangxia County avoided fighting head-on with Liu Bei's corps, and the cavalry led by Pang De had basically ransacked half of Jiangxia County. Zhou Yu and Zhu Ran adopted the same strategy, cutting off Liu Bei's transportation route, sending soldiers into Liu Bei's territory from time to time to burn all visible crops and houses, robbing people but not land.

Sun Shangxiang took a knife to cut a watermelon, and Ma Hong and Zhang Wei each took a piece of watermelon.

"Teacher, actually, I've always wanted to ask a question?"

Zhang Wei took a bite of the watermelon and said to Ma Hong.

"Don't say anything about food, don't talk to me, don't shout food in your mouth."

"Are you afraid that your apprentice will spray watermelon on your face?"

Sun Shangxiang sneered at Ma Hong.

Ma Hong didn't bother to pay attention to Sun Shangxiang, and opened his mouth to eat watermelon.

Zhang Wei put the watermelon he took a bite on the dining table and said: "Teacher, this week is undoubtedly a prodigy in Jingzhou, I can also see that he is very talented, the teacher accepts him as a disciple, it is natural, but I really don't see anything outstanding about this Deng Ai, the teacher actually plans to accept him as a disciple." ”

Ma Hong finished eating the watermelon, snatched the cloth from Sun Shangxiang's hand, wiped his mouth, and said, "It may be that your eyes are a little small, so you can't find the beauty of others." ”

Zhang Wei was speechless for a while, his eyes were indeed small, and when he laughed, they would become a slit, so he rarely smiled.

"Huh! My eyes are big enough! I didn't find anything special about Deng Ai's child, he was ugly, and he was still a little stammering! Sun Shangxiang thought of Deng Ai's way of speaking, and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Ma Hong glanced at Sun Shangxiang's big eyes and said, "My apprentice has many advantages, haven't you noticed them?" ”

"What advantages? Let's hear it. Sun Shangxiang said with a smile.

Zhang Wei also looked at Ma Hong expectantly.

Ma Hong coughed and said, "My apprentice knows how to raise pigs, and I heard that the pigs he raises are very fat. ”

"Is that a plus?" Sun Shangxiang laughed so much that tears were about to flow out.

"Madam, pay attention to your manners, there are many advantages of my apprentice, I will tell you one more." Ma Hong said seriously.

"Oh! You said. Sun Shangxiang said.

"Madam, at this time, you should say husband, please speak, pay attention to etiquette."

Sun Shangxiang saw Ma Hong speaking slowly, and said unhappily: "Does the husband say it or not?" ”

"Well, my apprentice also has the advantage of walking very quickly, and there is almost no sound." Ma Hong said.

"Teacher, this is not an advantage, is it?" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Why is it not an advantage, no, your junior brother is behind you now." Ma Hong pointed to Zhang Wei's back and said.

Zhang Wei and Sun Shangxiang were stunned for a moment, and they both looked behind them, only to see Deng Ai standing behind them with his head down, his face flushed and twisted. (To be continued.) )
