Ma Tan's hometown is Xiangyang Yicheng, which is now the middle ground between Cao Wei and Sun Wu, which was occupied by Sun Quan most of the time, and occasionally fell into the hands of Cao Wei, in short, it has nothing to do with Shu Han. Xiang Lang asked Ma Tan to return to his hometown in Xiangyang, of course, it was just a pretext to avoid it for a while, if the Ma family in Xiangyang wanted to get ahead, how could it be possible to achieve the goal if he didn't go out, whether it was to take refuge in Sun Wu or Cao Wei, in short, it was a betrayal of Shu Han and Zhuge Liang.

Xiang Lang was not surprised by Ma Yan's refusal, he just frowned: "Then what are you going to do?" Just hide it for a lifetime? ”

Ma Jian lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. zuihou, he raised his head and said in a dumb voice, "Lai Min really said that?" ”

Xiang Lang snorted softly and did not answer.

Ma Yan sighed, slowly stood up, walked in front of Xiang Lang, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down. Xiang Lang was taken aback, but he didn't reach out to help, he narrowed his eyes, his gaze was stern and sad.

"Youchang, you've decided?"

"Yes, Xiang Gong, I decided." Ma Yan bowed to the worship, then slowly stood up, walked to the door, looked at the warm sunshine, and squinted his eyes slightly: "I betrayed the trust of the prime minister, not only failed to stop Zhang He, but also let the prime minister suffer from the criticism of those corrupt Confucians, which is really an unforgivable sin." Big husband, one person does things and one person is responsible, and I can't let the prime minister take responsibility for the mistakes I made. If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, you can hide from this body, you can't hide from this heart. I don't want to hide like a mouse for the rest of my life, I want to turn myself in, I want to ask the prime minister for guilt. ”

Xiang Lang said coldly: "But, what about the Xiangyang Ma family? ”

Ma Tan was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Xiang Gong, the prime minister will not kill me." was defeated, at most he took office, and was demoted to a commoner like Liao Li. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I have been friends with the prime minister for many years, and I believe that I will not be mistaken."

Xiang Lang sneered. "You're going to be wrong. How can you guarantee that you won't be mistaken about the prime minister? ”

Ma Yan's face twisted in pain. Xiang Lang's words really stung him. He has always boasted of his talents, and he is bent on going out and entering the phase, and building immortal achievements. Who knew that he was so vulnerable to the battlefield when he really went on the battlefield, and what he couldn't imagine was that after the defeat, he didn't even have the courage to take responsibility and became a deserter. These days are hidden in Xiang Lang's account. He reflected on his shame all the time, and every time he thought about it, his face turned red. Ashamed. Now that he heard that Zhuge Liang was criticized because of him, he couldn't sit still anymore, he didn't want to live in the world so humbly, he had to take on the responsibilities he should bear, so that he could live with peace of mind.

As for life and death, he didn't think about it, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Zhuge Liang has a good relationship with him, how can he kill him because of a defeat? Even if he is demoted to a commoner, he believes that it will not take a few years, and when this matter fades a little, Zhuge Liang will definitely reactivate him. Give him another chance.

He believes that next time, he will not be so incompetent, he will not be so cowardly, even if he dies, he will die on the battlefield.

"If you look at yourself wrong, you think too highly of yourself." Ma Tan let out a long sigh and calmed down the surging mood: "Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear." I don't know enough, but I'm still a little wise. I can't be mistaken about the prime minister. ”

With that, he stepped forward. His stride was wide, and his waist was straight.

Xiang Lang didn't say anything more, just squinted at Ma Yan's back.

Ma Tan walked out of Xiang Lang's camp all the way to Zhuge Liang's Chinese army. The sergeant in front of the camp saw Ma Jian and subconsciously shouted: "Ma joined the army and came back?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately remembered that Ma Jian was not now a soldier who believed in Ren, but a defeated general who had lost the battle and had been missing for many days, and the respect on his face suddenly froze, and his expression was very embarrassing.

"I ask to see the Prime Minister." Ma Tan said calmly. When he took the first step, he was very nervous, but when he walked to Zhuge Liang's camp gate, he miraculously calmed down. The warm sunlight shone on his body, making him feel a trace of warmth slowly seeping into his limbs, and those sore flesh and bones began to stretch.

My choice is right, one cannot hide in the dark for a lifetime. Thinking so, Ma Yan's face was much gloomy, and finally showed a faint smile again.

The soldier looked at the smiling Ma Tan and didn't react for a long time, until Ma Tan looked at him, and then lowered his head embarrassedly. "Please join the army for a while, and I will report to the prime minister immediately."

"There is labor." The head of the horse bowed his head.

The soldier was startled, and some hurriedly returned the salute, and hurriedly turned around. The rest of the soldiers looked at each other, feeling a little incredible. What kind of person is Ma Tan, who would thank an ordinary soldier? In the past, when Ma Tan came to see the prime minister, he didn't need to be announced, he drove straight in, and his eyes never stayed on the faces of these ordinary soldiers for a moment, and he didn't even know who they were.

It's a bit strange for horses to join the army today. Everyone's heart invariably feels a little weird.

Zhuge Liang was arranging a retreat, and according to Wei Ba's suggestion, he would first enter Guanzhong by water, and then turn from Yixian to Baoxie Valley and return directly to Hanzhong. In addition to the more than 10,000 people who remained in Guanzhong, he still had 40,000 or 50,000 people to bring back, including many wounded soldiers, which was not an easy task.

The journey is more than 1,000 miles, less can not be less, it will also take a month and a half, just the food needed on the road is a lot of money, it is far from enough to rely on Guanzhong alone, and Hanzhong needs to be prepared to respond, any negligence may lead to the army running out of food on the way. Zhuge Liang didn't dare to take it lightly, Shu Han is now an eventful time, and any soldier is precious. Therefore, he is not at ease with the plan that Yang Yi personally made, and he must calculate it again in person to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Hearing the word "Ma Tan", Zhuge Liang's hand that was playing with the abacus froze, the pen in his right hand trembled, and a drop of ink dripped down, instantly turning into a big black mass on the account book, as black as his face.

Yang Yi was also taken aback, he looked at the soldier with a nervous face, and then at Zhuge Liang, who had a somewhat ugly face, licked his lips, and reminded softly: "Prime Minister, it's not good to let Youchang stand outside the camp." ”

The corners of Zhuge Liang's eyes twitched twice, put down the pen, held his hands in front of his abdomen, and closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and there was a look of pain in them. He said lightly: "It's really inappropriate to stand outside the camp, take him to the baggage camp and take care of him." ”

Yang Yi answered, turned around and was about to go out, just walked to the door, suddenly felt that something was wrong, he turned his head, stared at Zhuge Liang, and said in astonishment: "Prime Minister, take it to the baggage camp?" ”

"It's not a baggage camp, do you still want to invite him to a seat?" Zhuge Liang glanced at Yang Yi and picked up the pen again.

Yang Yi gasped and locked Ma Jian in the baggage camp, which was equivalent to putting him in prison. It's just a defeat, as for it? Yang Yi wanted to say more, but when she saw Zhuge Liang's face, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth. He also knew about the discussions in the camp these days, and knew that Zhuge Liang was under a lot of pressure at the moment, and it might be an expedient measure to shut up Ma Jian for a while.

Yang Yi comforted herself while hurriedly leaving the camp. Ma Jian saw Yang Yi walking briskly, his heart was overjoyed, and he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Duke Wei, the prime minister is not in the account?" ”

Yang Yi didn't say a word, pulled Ma Jian and left. Ma Yan was inexplicable, and said while struggling: "Wei Gong, where are you taking me?" ”

"The prime minister has an order to take you to the baggage camp." As Yang Yi walked, she turned around and gave Ma Tan a look, signaling him not to speak.

Ma Tan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again. He broke free of Yang Yi's hand and smoothed the folds of his clothes. "Wei Gong, why are you doing this, didn't you just go to the baggage camp to think about it behind closed doors, what's the big deal. I've gotten used to it for the past two days. Go, I'll go with you. ”

Yang Yi wanted to speak and stopped. He felt that Ma Jian was thinking too simply, looking at Zhuge Liang's face just now, I am afraid it was not so simple for him to think about it behind closed doors. He didn't dare to look at Ma Yan, so he hurriedly led the way in front and walked towards the baggage camp.

……

"Ma Tan turned himself in?" Wei Ba stood up in surprise.

"Yes, Ma Tan turned himself in." Zhao Guang said with a smile: "The entire camp knows, but you know it later." ”

"The whole battalion knows?" Wei Ba was even more surprised, no wonder the news spread so fast, that the little secret agents he arranged were all a beat slower. However, this is even more weird, Ma Jian surrendered, and it was not the enemy attack, how could the entire battalion know about it.

Could it be that the prime minister issued an order to inform the whole battalion?

"Yes, the prime minister sent someone to inform you." The corners of Zhao Guang's mouth crooked, and he smiled meaningfully.

Wei Ba smelled something different. He rolled his eyes and muttered for a moment: "Is it hidden in Xiang Changshi?" ”

"It's not clear yet, but if you think about it, except for Xiang Changshi, no one seems to have the guts."

"Hehe, so to speak, the show is about to begin." Wei Ba sat down again, spread his arms, and leaned against the desk.

"Fun?" Zhao Guang was disdainful: "What can be a good show, it is nothing more than a job reduction, at most demoted to a concubine, and give everyone an explanation." After a few years of neglect, find another excuse to recover. I'm tired of watching it for a long time, isn't Zhang Yi like this? ”

Zhang Yizi Junhei, a native of Chengdu, Shu County, was too punctual in Yizhou, but because of the Yonghong rebellion, Zhang Yi was captured and given to Sun Quan. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang took charge of the government and sent Deng Zhi as an envoy to Eastern Wu, and by the way, he asked Sun Quan for Zhang Yi. After Zhang Yi came back, he joined the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion, served as a government officer, and led Yizhou to govern the middle school. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhang Yi led the governor of the province to work with Jiang Wan as a captain of the shooting voice.

Zhang Yi was captured by the enemy, Zhuge Liang can still not blame the past and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, Ma Tan, as Zhuge Liang's henchman, is just a deserter for a few days, and he has not been captured, so he will not be treated worse than Zhang Yi. Zhao Guang's analysis is based on this, but Wei Ba has a different view. Since Zhuge Liang informed the whole battalion of the news of Ma Tan's surrender, I am afraid that Ma Jian will not be let go so easily.

Perhaps, Ma Jian will die as in history.

This is standard self-harm. Prime Minister, did you really do it?
