Ma Liang felt it in an instant, and his eyes in the small side hall moved over.

These eyes passed over him to his brother, who was kneeling behind him.

Ma Tan, Ma Youchang.

Ma Yan's face turned pale and he couldn't speak.

Only now did he understand the strange attitude of his brother with the scrimson opinion of him.

and the meaningful words of the lord before returning from Jiangzhou:

"Young Chang, I hope you can be brave when you know defeat, and you can be strong when you are weak."

At that time, Ma Jian was still full of question marks: Haven't we always won a big victory from Zigui all the way to Jiangzhou? Where is the "defeat" and "weak" theory?

Now he probably understood.

"Young!" Liu Bei called:

"Don't think too much, what does the responsibility of the future have to do with you?"

Ma Jian nodded gratefully, the lord is so good.

I don't know how I lost in the light curtain?

Everyone just looked at Ma Jian and moved away, and Ma Yan's pressure dropped sharply, so he moved carefully with his knees and got closer to Ma Liang.

"Why don't you see my brother's name in it?"

"It's dead." Ma Liang kept his hands on the ground, and said neatly.

Ma Jian froze.

Zhang Fei is deducing:

"How can you lose such a place?"

"Change me to Lao Zhang...... If you change the fan, Zhang Dalai can also hold it! ”

"Xu is Cao's army's heavy troops." Huang Zhong proposed a possibility.

"Let's wait and see." Guan Yu suppressed the discussion, and at the same time was curious.

The army of military divisions is next to Shangqi, and Cao Jun will definitely not fight here, and he will also go to help Shangqi, how can he be lost?

[Regarding Ma Tanshou's street pavilion, first of all, I must say that Ma Tan's manpower is absolutely sufficient.

Later, when the prime minister withdrew to Hanzhong and punished according to the law, the subordinates who could be confirmed were Zhang Xiu, Li Sheng, Huang Xi, and Wang Ping.

Even if you are in charge of the four generals, even if you count at the least, one person will have a thousand soldiers, then there will be at least 5,000 soldiers and horses.

When the prime minister set out in Hanzhong at the beginning, the number of troops was "tens of thousands", that is, no more than 50,000.

These horses need to divide the suspicious soldiers for Zhao Yun, they need to leave a way back, and they need to surround them.

Ma Tan led at least one-third of the available troops of the Northern Expedition, giving him enough trust.

How can you lead a large army and defend the main road? Ma Jian said don't be impatient, watch me operate.

The first is the "violation of the bright festival", when he went to the street pavilion, the prime minister must have given some instructions, but Ma Jian immediately threw away this instruction after leading the army.

The second decision was to "rely on Nanshan and not take the city".

Zhang He led the army to rush over and saw that the people were stupid, what was this doing on the other side?

Although he couldn't figure it out, his quality as a general made Zhang He not hesitate: "He is absolutely unavoidable."

Surrounding the mountain, cutting off the water, Ma Tan's army was defeated, and the only bright spot was Wang Ping.

led his own thousands of people, emulated the old story of Zhang Fei in Dangyang Bridge, and sounded the drum to make a suspicious army.

Zhang He's win was too easy, so he muttered in his heart that the other side was cheating, so he didn't pursue.

Of course, the prime minister could see it after Ma Tan was surrounded, and after making a choice, he chose to lead the troops to the rescue, but Ma Tan was defeated halfway through.

Guo Huai saw that the besieged soldiers were decreasing, so he did not hesitate to lead the army to victory without hesitation.

At this time, the situation had completely eroded, so the prime minister could only retreat.

Generally speaking, defeat is punished, but according to many records, the reason why Ma Tan was beheaded was "Tan fleeing".

It is a very serious sin to abandon the army and flee.

Moreover, both the army and Shu are strictly governed.

Cutting according to the law is the only ending.

Before Liu Bei's death, he explained to the prime minister that Ma Yan's words were exaggerated and could not be used.

The prime minister didn't listen to Liu Bei, nor did he listen to his subordinates who promoted Ma Yan.

But Ma Jian didn't listen to the prime minister, he just followed his own ideas, and finally cheated the prime minister and himself.

I have to say that it is also a kind of lineage. 】

"Good guys!" Zhang Fei shook his head.

"Abandon the army and flee!"

Capital offense, of course! This can be said to be the consensus of almost everyone present.

If ordinary soldiers flee from the battle, there is basically only one ending: death.

But as the commander of an army, you abandon the army and flee, which is not only a capital crime, but also ......

Liu Bei's eyes couldn't hide his disappointment, and he didn't look at Ma Yan.

Previously, just looking at the text record of the light curtain, he thought it was just a defeat, but Liu Bei still felt that it could be saved.

But now it seems that not only is it not good to fight, but the most fundamental quality of people is not very qualified!

Ma Tan looked at the six gods of the light curtain without a master, and abandoned the army and fled to be beheaded, is it his end?

Will the lord behead himself now? Death! This was something that Ma Jian had never thought about before, and he grabbed his heart for a while, and it felt difficult to breathe.

At this time, Ma Liang sighed, finished transcribing the last word of this paragraph, took off the crown of his head and put it on the ground.

Then take two steps forward and bow down to Liu Bei's five bodies:

"My lord, please relinquish yourself from the post of joining the army and be demoted to a concubine."

Ma Tan looked at his brother blankly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Bei was still groaning, and Kong Ming was expressionless.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and was thinking, looked at his brother, shook his head and said:

"Why should Ji Chang be like this, how to punish people for crimes that have not been committed?"

Mi Zhu looked at Ma Liang who was lying on the ground, and his expression was complicated for a while.

The same is the younger brother's failure, and the same is the sinful of being the elder brother.

In his heart, he understands that most of the lords will not be punished for the crime of light curtains, but the heart of abandoning the army and fleeing is also destined to disgust.

In the awkward atmosphere, Zhang Fei said:

"Hey, let me see Lao Zhang, this young man is just lacking responsibility!"

Ma Jian was short of breath, but he didn't dare to refute, and he was even a little disgusted with himself in his heart.

Abandoned the army and fled, he was the general he hated and looked down on the most, who was familiar with military books.

"In that case." Zhang Fei continued:

"It's better to be a personal soldier for me, after all, later generations will say that Zhang Fei is violent and unkind."

Saying that, Zhang Fei turned to Ma Jian and said:

"I heard Ji Chang say that I always feel that I am a handsome talent."

"In this case, it is better to come to my account and let me teach you what it means to be responsible!"

"If you can get into my old eyes, then I will let you lead the soldiers to join the military council."

Seems like a good choice? Liu Bei thought about it for a while, at least it was a choice, wasn't it?

Liu Bei's gaze turned to Ma Tan, but at this time, Ma Tan's face was entangled again.

Ma Liang straightened his waist and said loudly:

"Lord, my brother is willing!"

Liu Bei stared at Ma Jian again, hiding a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and nodded:

"So be it."

Zhang Fei simply got up and went over directly, lifted Ma Jian like a little chicken, and put it behind him.

Ma Yan came back to his senses and looked up blankly, and saw Zhang Fei's cruel smile:

"Since it is my own soldier, then I will explain it first, desert the army, and be beheaded!"

Ma Tan nodded stupidly.

On the other side, Liu Bei also helped Ma Liang up to tidy up his appearance.

"Ji Chang must not do such a thing again."

"Now that he is under the Yide account, Ma Tan's crime has nothing to do with Ji Chang."

[The First Northern Expedition can be said to be the prime minister's best opportunity.

When the situation of Yongliang first reached Luoyang, the ministers of the Cao Wei court reacted in disbelief and panic, and then none of them could make up their minds.

In the end, it was Cao Rong's idea to go to Chang'an by himself.

Cao Zhen supervised the right and faced Zhao Yun, and Zhang He led his troops to conquer Longyou.

Zhao Yun has nothing to say here, there are only a few thousand people in total, and in the face of Cao Zhen, who is holding a large army, even if the Changbanpo God of War is reborn, he will be exhausted to death.

But fortunately, the withdrawal was beautiful, according to Deng Zhi's later account, Zhao Yun not only lost no soldiers and horses after the break, but even rescued all the baggage.

It can be said that the prime minister's careful calculation has been brought into full play, and it is also helpless to burn the plank road in the face of heavy pursuit.

After repelling Zhao Yun, Cao Zhen began to go to Longyou to liquidate, and the Taishou who escaped were heavily punished.

The people who responded to the prime minister were all "destroyed", and most of them should have been executed by the leader, and the servants were severely punished.

And the most regrettable thing about the first Northern Expedition is also here, generally we commonly call Cao Wei Zhantian, Jiangdong has a geographical advantage, and Ji Han won the hearts of the people.

Under Cao Zhen's butcher's knife, the popular support that Longyou had accumulated with great difficulty was also exhausted.

After Cao Zhen dealt with all this, he made a prediction: the next time Zhuge Villager would definitely fight Chen Cang, so he sent Hao Zhao to repair the city wall in advance.

As for Ji Han's side, although the prime minister understands in his heart that it is a failure, the Yizhou clan feels that this is undoubtedly a big victory!

So after the prime minister returned to Chengdu, although he depreciated and punished himself, there was still an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him.

In this case, the prime minister remembered the people who echoed Shu Han in Longyou, and wrote "Thank You".

Under the whole world, it is not Hanmin...... A husband is dead, and all are bright......

Personally, I think this is the best embodiment of the prime minister's sentiments.

But of course, the first Northern Expedition did not end so smoothly, after all, as we said earlier, Ji Han and Jiangdong had re-aligned at this time.

As an ally, it is within the scope of the offensive and defensive affairs, but what about your Jiangdong actions?

And unsurprisingly, King Wu of Great Wei pulled here again.

This also triggered the prime minister's second sloppy Northern Expedition in winter, and gave Sun Quan the title of emperor back. 】

It wasn't until the light curtain was mentioned at this time that Zhang Fei shouted:

"I forgot about it! Our 100,000 uncles! ”

Everyone has just woken up from a dream, this Northern Expedition is a matter of 228 years, and Kong Ming sent Deng Zhi and Jiangdong to repair for three years!

Ma Liangxin put down a burden, and at this time he was also a lot more relaxed, and couldn't help but say:

"If Jiangdong can contain Cao Thief's army all the way, even if Zhang He doesn't come so quickly."

"As long as you can capture Shangtai, maybe it won't end in such a sloppy end."

"In this way, it will not affect the people of Longyou."

Ma Liang was very sorry, after all, his hometown was now occupied by Cao thieves.

I can also empathize with the people of Longyou.

Zhang Fei remembered the previous ridicule of the light curtain and the history of Sun Quan, and guessed:

"It won't be another 100,000 soldiers being chased and beaten under the city of Hefei, right?"

"If it's just echoing, you don't have to attack Hefei." Guan Yu hesitated, it stands to reason that by encircling Hefei with a large army, Cao Wei can come over to relieve the siege.

But for this eldest brother, Guan Yu really didn't dare to pack tickets.

This eldest brother really can't be guessed by common sense.

And Kong Ming just came back to his senses from "the death of a husband and the sin of brightness" when he saw the last sentence.

I can't help but keep my eyes open:

"Liang gave Sun Quan an emperor name?!"
