Chapter 16: I'm very optimistic about you
"You're Ma Youchang?"
At the gate of the county government of Gong'an County, Ma Jian looked at the tower-like black-faced man in front of him calmly and asked him.
There is information from his brother Ma Liang, and Ma Jian has already found the No. 1 person in his mind just by looking at the appearance and this tone:
Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's Zhonglang General, the word Yide.
"Hui Zhonglang General, a certain Ma Yan, a native of Yicheng."
Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows: "Wrong!" A certain is now a conscripted general! Horses engaged, and again. ”
Ma Jian bowed slightly: "Go back to the general to capture the general, a certain Ma Tan, a native of Yicheng." ”
Zhang Fei laughed and patted Ma Yan's shoulder: "Ma engaged, work hard, I am very optimistic about you!" ”
No, you don't mean anything like me on your face, you're still smiling! Ma Jian shouted in his heart.
Under the calm face is Ma Tan's aggrieved heart.
Since childhood, he has read poetry and books and prefers military books, and the fourth brother Ma Liangneng is famous and was recruited by Liu Jingzhou to engage in it, and the nineteen-year-old Ma Jian is very envious.
So after some begging, the fourth brother finally gave Ma Jian a chance to become a leader! And it's also by the side of the famous Zhuge Kongming!
After following the eldest brother to the county seat of the public security, Ma Tan met the Zhuge Kong Ming, but what was different from what he expected was that Kong Ming treated the eldest brother Ma Liang very affectionately, and after holding his arm and talking, he asked Ma Liang to verify the tax situation in Wuling County this year, and to visit the countryside to record, the standard practical position.
As soon as the eldest brother Ma Liang left, Kong Ming's smile became polite, and he said lightly, "There is still a vacancy in the public security county government, and if it is convenient for you, you will be familiar with the inside and outside of the public security county." So he sent Ma Tan to guard the gate.
I've been reading military books for 12 years, and now I'm reduced to a servant!
After the grievance, I am puzzled, why do I seem to be quite famous?
After Xuan Degong came over and asked his name today, he stared at himself for a while and then shook his head and went in.
Although General Zilong and General Huang did not stop, their eyes were full of curiosity when they looked at him.
General Guan didn't ask anything, patted himself on the shoulder and went in, as if the two knew each other.
And this General Zhang seems to have an opinion about himself, and he deliberately came to make things difficult!
Ma Jian is at a loss about this, why does he seem to be very famous? Or is the eldest brother familiar with these generals?
Inside the public security county government, this side hall has now become a confidential place, and only the four generals of Guan Zhang, Zhao and Huang can pass without Liu Bei's hand.
Kong Ming even moved his office directly here, and spent more than half of his time in this side hall every day.
Zhang Fei pushed the frozen persimmon next to the fire, and then said:
"This horse doesn't look very bright."
"General Zhang must be embarrassed by that Ma Yan!" Zhao Yun chuckled: "I see that he was so humiliated by Kong Ming without being dissatisfied, he is indeed not an ordinary person." ”
"Isn't it just to watch the gate, I can do it too!" Zhang Fei snorted: "The main thing is that if it weren't for him, the military advisor would not have died so early, the military advisor would have died early, and no one would care about Adou's uncompetitive life, Adou ......"
"Stop, stop!" Liu Bei slapped his head and wanted to plug Zhang Fei's mouth with persimmons.
For the time being, he left Zhang Fei, who obediently shut up, to the back of his mind.
Liu Bei squeezed his hands around the stove like an old farmer to keep warm - although it doesn't snow in Gong'an County, it should be cold or cold in winter, especially this coldness seems to go deep into the bone marrow, and he cleared his throat and said:
"Calling everyone over today is mainly an official announcement, Guan Yunchang plus General Dangkou, Zhang Yide plus General Zheng, General Zilong Qianbiao, and Huang Hansheng plus General Capture."
Several people threw their hands in a mess, and their voices were not uniform: "Brother Xie/Lord." ”
In fact, everyone knew about this matter before, and Liu Bei had been thinking about it for a long time, and the invitation form for the reward had been sent to Xu Du, which was basically a certainty.
"How's that curved plow and round car trying?" Liu Bei asked Zilong.
Although he wanted to do it with Zilong at the beginning to see the effect, at the end of the year, Liu Bei's affairs gradually increased, resulting in a lack of skills, and Zilong has always been reliable, so he finally took over the past.
Because the new plough handle is curved and the waterwheel is round, it is simply called a curved plough and a round car.
"A huge success! The people praised it! Speaking of this, Zhao Yun was very excited, and at the same time arched his hand to Zhuge Liang and said: "At the beginning, there were many unclear points when it was built, but fortunately, Mrs. Huang sent someone to send a note, and the craftsman completed the production according to Mrs. Huang's handbook, and the lord can go to check it later!" ”
"Madame Huang is good at this?" Liu Bei was very surprised.
"Clumsy Jing has been clever since childhood." Kong Ming said humbly: "After seeing the pictures of the round car and the curved plough that night, I picked up the lamp and studied it, and made it within three days. ”
"You have such talent!". Liu Bei praised: "Assign a team of women to Mrs. Huang to study Karakuri together, and then if there is a technical drawing of the light curtain, it will also be sent to Mrs. Huang as soon as possible." ”
"The minister has thanked the lord for his humble success." Kong Ming bowed and thanked him, and then took out a letter:
"Lord, early this morning, Jiangdong sent a letter."
"Oh?" Liu Bei opened the letter from Kong Ming's hand and read it quickly, and as he read it, the look of surprise on his face was very obvious:
"Zhou Gongjin sent a letter asking me to go to Dantu, Jiangdong wants to marry Wu Hou's sister Xu to me, create a good relationship, and the two families will be reconciled."
If there was no light curtain, the military generals of Wenchen should be happy at this time, but now that they heard the news, several people inevitably had a layer of worry on their faces.
Among them, several Zhang Fei are the most irritable:
"Whew! If you really want the two families to be repaired, you should send my sister-in-law directly over! ”
The black-faced man jumped to his feet directly and said: "As long as the eldest brother gives an order, I will be the pioneer of the Dantu and my old Zhang Yuan!" Even if you turn the Dan disciples upside down, you have to find out Lu Xun who set the fire, and then ...... with fire."
Zhang Fei was stuck for a while and didn't know what to say, and seriously said that Lu Xun really hadn't done anything at present.
Liu Bei was very moved, and then waved his hand to signal Guan Yu to throw Zhang Fei out.
Zhao Yun's mind was quite delicate: "Lord, Jiangdong must be guarded, Yun please take Bai Ma Yi to protect the lord." ”
Guan Yu and Huang Zhong glanced at each other and hugged their fists:
"Lord, Yu/Zhong, please defend the lord!"
Liu Bei didn't answer for the time being, and glanced at his military advisor, and Kong Ming's eyes were also full of worry.
At this moment, Ma Yanyu outside the door reported: "My lord, there is an urgent letter from the military advisor, and the sender claims to be an old friend of Jiangdong of the military advisor. ”
After just two breaths, Liu Bei's steady voice came: "Bring it in." ”
Ma Tan held the letter and bowed down 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 house, and now several people under Liu Bei are warming up around the stove like a homely meal, but the atmosphere seems to be a little tense?
Before Ma Jian finished thinking about it, Liu Bei got up to take the letter, and at the same time patted Ma Jian on the shoulder encouragingly: "Ma Zhen, do a good job under the military advisor, I am very optimistic about you!" ”
Although it is the same words as Zhang Fei, it is a completely different feeling in Ma Yan's ears, the lord is really optimistic about me!
So several generals in the hall saw the newcomer's body tense and bowed to the end: "I am willing to die for the Lord!" ”
Guan Yu and Huang Zhong stroked their beards and laughed, Zhang Fei hid aside and muttered: "I don't see you so solemn when I praise you......"
