Deputy Ma Tan

Liu Bei gave an order, and the hall immediately began to discuss, "Your Majesty's ministers think that the Zhuge guards can be the generals of Yangwu, and the Zhuge guards deserve to be famous in the first battle" Ma Liang was the first to speak;

"Your Majesty's ministers think that you can seal Zhuge as an escort to join the army, and you can participate in the left and right military" Chen Zhen also gave his own proposal;

However, when they didn't notice their proposal, the generals behind them were frowning and their eyes were deep; After all, they are the ones who followed Liu Bei to conquer the north and south, and now Zhuge Qiao only captured a few cities, but he wanted to give him such a big reward, how could he convince these people who had been born and died for Shu Han.

Zhuge Qiao listened to the proposal of the two of them, but he was actually surprised, and felt the vicious gaze behind him gather on his back, and was about to say to Liu Bei、、、 "I have a position, and it is also a position that has been empty for a long time in my Han family, and now I want to seal it in Bosong, I don't know what objections the Qing family has" Liu Bei said slowly;

But Zhuge Qiao was in a hurry, after all, the eyes behind him became more and more fierce; Even if you get a high position, I am afraid that it is unconvincing in the army, this is not what I want to see;

"What is Your Majesty's so-called position," Ma Liang stepped forward and echoed.

"Captain Yao," Liu Bei said slowly, word by word.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and no one knew about the officials of the Han Dynasty, Captain Yao was the official position held by Hou Huo, the champion of Emperor Xiaowu, but today he was given to Zhuge Qiao by Liu Bei, no wonder he would say that the Han family has been empty for a long time; However, for the current Shu Han, in addition to carrying the glory left by the former champion Hou, Captain Yao has no real power, and it is still a step worse than the Yangwu general proposed by Ma Liang;

Zhuge Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze gradually converged; After all, Zhuge Qiao is just a miscellaneous captain, and he doesn't even have real power, and he only has symbolic meaning;

"Your Majesty is wise, Captain Yao is not competent if he is not a Zhuge guard," Chen Zhen echoed Liu Bei; Captain Yao represents the glory of the Han family, and now Liu Bei has awarded this position to Zhuge Qiao, who has the most potential in the army at this time, and he is also announcing his determination to restore the Han family to everyone, even the whole world; is also telling Sun Quan that Zhuge Qiao is the champion of my Shu Han, if you dare to touch him, I will raise the army of the country to fight against you again; Chen Zhen saw this very clearly, and he was proud of his father-in-law's ambition.

"Zhuge Qiao stepped forward to listen to the seal," said Zhuge Qiao, kneeling in the center of the hall.

"Now I have appointed you as the captain of Bi Yao and sent you to Jiangdong," Liu Bei appointed with the breath of a king;

"The last general will take the order, thank you, Your Majesty" Zhuge Qiao responded, and there was a bit of confidence in his voice; Captain Yao is another position that was beyond his expectations, I originally thought that Liu Bei would let him hold official positions with real power such as partial generals or generals, but I didn't expect to give myself the position that Hou Huo, the champion of the famous enemy country, once held, you can trust me so much, I will try to give you a new Han Dynasty, Zhuge Qiao said silently in his heart.

"Your Majesty has another proposal, at this time the battlefield situation is biased in favor of us, and it was Sun Quan who first attacked my Jingzhou to kill my prince, and the minister thought that he could ask Sun Quan for 100,000 stones, grain and grass, and 100,000 silver for our military supplies," Ma Liangjin admonished;

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid Sun Quan will not compromise and continue to raise troops to fight," Chen Zhen retorted.

"What does Bo Song think" Liu Bei did not answer, but kicked the question to Zhuge Qiao, the envoy of the envoy;

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that it is reasonable to ask Sun Quan for money and food, and the last general should do his best" Zhuge Qiao didn't think for a moment, he had also expected this problem before this, and it was not impossible to ask for money and food for the retreat, it depended on the attitude of both sides on the truce issue.

After the discussion, Zhuge Qiao was led by the soldiers and walked towards Ma Yan's temporary residence, intending to test this complex and tragic character.

When approaching the house where Ma Jian lived, Zhuge Qiao saw a person standing at the door waiting from a distance, who else would it be besides Ma Tan; "Congratulations to Bo Song, who has been promoted to Captain Bi Yao, I have been waiting here for a long time, and I have set up a banquet at home, so come and talk with me in the house."

"How did Brother Young Chang know that I would come" Zhuge Qiao asked in surprise, and he was also sighing in his heart that Ma Jian was really not simple.

"Tomorrow you and I will go to Jiangdong, we didn't have any communication before that, so I dare to assert that Bosong will definitely come to investigate."

"I don't dare to investigate, I just want to talk to Brother Young Chang about going to Jiangdong this time" Zhuge Qiao exonerated himself, and also felt that Ma Liang's mind must be good, and he is suitable for a position such as joining the army.

Entering the seat, Ma Tan and Zhuge Qiao sat opposite each other; "I salute Bo Song, and congratulate Bo Song on becoming another lieutenant of my Han family," Ma Jian just sat down and picked up his glass.

"Please," said Zhuge Qiao, who also picked up the wine glass on the table.

"I have a question about something, and I also ask Brother Young Chang to answer truthfully" After a glass of wine, Zhuge Qiao went to the point.

"Please show me this," Ma Tan replied with a puzzled face.

"You often think that Your Majesty's attack on Wu this time, is it right or not" Zhuge Qiao asked, and looked at Ma Jian to know how he would answer, after all, he had gained Zhuge Liang's great trust, so he was also full of expectations for Ma Tan's answer.

Ma Tan drank another glass of wine: "Your Majesty's move is really a mistake; My Shu Han has just been established and will not be consolidated, and His Majesty will lead a large army to attack Wu, which will also have an impact on politics; Moreover, our number one enemy is Cao Wei, and His Majesty's abandonment of Wei and attack Wu will definitely cause damage to the strength of the two countries, which is equivalent to giving Cao Wei a chance; Fortunately, this battle is about to end, otherwise it will definitely bring huge losses to Shu Han, after all, our Shu Han only occupies one state, and the recovery is extremely slow" Ma Liang sighed, although Ma Liang did not support Liu Bei and Wu, but Zhuge Qiao still saw the sincerity in his eyes.

Zhuge Qiao analyzed Ma Yan's answer, although there were only two points, but it was to the point; "Your Majesty proposes to ask Sun Quan for 100,000 stones of grain and grass and 100,000 taels of silver, how does Brother Young Chang think we should ask for it?"

Ma Tan pondered for a moment; "Although the Jingzhou battlefield is said to have been initiated by us, but it is due to the fact that Dongwu reneged on the alliance and attacked Jingzhou, it is reasonable for Sun Quan to say it, plus we have achieved a strategic advantage in Jingzhou, as long as we are resolute, 100,000 stone grain and grass, and 100,000 taels of silver, Sun Quan will definitely be able to come up," Ma Jian said very confidently.
