Chapter 49: Careers
Zhao Yi was stunned when he heard it, but he didn't expect that his reputation was quite loud, it must have been Zhang Fei who let people publicize his deeds everywhere and deliberately deified him.
"Brother Ji Chang is polite, you and I are about the same age, you can talk about it on the same level, just call me Hongfei, but Brother Ji Chang cares about the people, and it is really admirable that he can still squeeze out food to relieve the victims in this troubled era where everyone is in danger."
Ma Liang waved his hand quite ashamedly and said: "Lord Zhao praised it falsely, I have studied the sage book hard, and we should put helping the world and saving the people in the first place, now the war is raging, disasters are rampant, and the lives of the people are not as good as day by day, and we can only do our best to save one by one, which is better than nothing." ”
Ma Liang said hurriedly waved his hand to beckon several of his brothers to gather around him, and introduced: "This Lord Zhao Yi Zhao is the immortal disciple who is spread in the mouths of the people, and the loud noise just now is the flat ground thunder summoned by the adults, which helped us stabilize the situation." ”
Hearing Ma Liang's introduction, the four brothers were all shocked, and then they all clasped their fists and saluted: "I've seen Lord Zhao." ”
"Be polite, I said don't call me an adult, let's talk about each other as equals, just call me Hongfei."
Zhao Yi chatted with Ma Liang and others for a while, and then learned that the Ma family has five sons, namely the eldest Ma Bochang, the second Ma Zhongchang, the third Ma Shuchang, the fourth Ma Jichang, and the youngest fifth Ma Youchang, that is, Ma Yan.
Ma Liang is the fourth in the family, but he is the youngest of the five brothers, and he is also the head of the Ma family on the surface, and he has just turned 20 this year.
Several people hit it off at first sight, and under the deliberate guidance of Zhao Yi, they led the topic to the current situation and how to let the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment.
In the process of talking with several people, Zhao Yi gradually figured out the strengths and personalities of the five brothers of the Ma family.
The eldest Ma Bo is often a steady person, does not talk much, only when you ask him he will answer, good at farming, water conservancy, land measurement.
The second child, Ma Zhong, is often quite active, outgoing, likes to raise flowers and birds, and is good at socializing.
Uncle Ma often likes calligraphy, and his writing is also good.
Needless to say, Ma Liang is the most comprehensive among the five brothers, and he is also the most talented.
As for the youngest Ma Yan, he is just eighteen years old this year, although he is one year older than Zhao Yi in age, he can clearly feel that his heart is still relatively jumpy, and he has already shown the characteristics of boasting, but it is undeniable that he is really very spiritual and very smart, no wonder Zhuge Liang likes him so much.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yi had already gotten acquainted with the five of them, and the wheat porridge and pastries boiled next to him were also collected by the refugees, and the helpers invited by the Ma family began to clean up the stove.
Zhao Yi saw that the atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious, and the five brothers had the meaning of making meritorious contributions in and out of their words, so they naturally put forward an invitation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today Hongfei can get acquainted with a few is fate, when the situation is chaotic today, the smoke is everywhere, the people are not living, a few people both read the sage books, and have the desire to help the world and save the people, only in this city porridge fear of wronged talent, it is better to join Uncle Liu's account, for the people, but also for this chaotic world to make a contribution."
Hearing Zhao Yi's formal invitation to them, the five brothers of the Ma family made a brief eye contact, as if they had made up their minds.
Ma Liang nodded to his brother and replied: "Brother Hongfei, you are right, we have read the books of sages, and we should use the skills we have learned to help the world and save the people.
To tell the truth, before I saw Hongfei, I was quite conceited about my talents, and felt that Maxima had not met Bole, but when I saw Hongfei today, I deeply realized that there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountain. ”
"What?"
Zhao Yi was stunned by what he said, and immediately reacted that something was wrong, this Ma Liang said that he was following him around Zhao Yi, not around Uncle Liu Huang, what does this mean? The five brothers of their Ma family would rather follow a little Shichang under the name of Liu Bei? This...... It was really unexpected.
However, Zhao Yi was quickly relieved after a short accident, who didn't follow? Choosing to follow him Zhao Yi can only show that the five brothers of the Ma family have vision, and such people can only give full play to their greatest advantages if they are carefully trained under their own hands.
As for Ma Tan...... Zhao Yi believes that as long as he cultivates and teaches well, he will not go astray and poke such a big basket.
Zhao Yi straightened his robe, retreated half a step back, bowed his hand and said: "Thank you for not giving up, willing to follow me as a small person, you can rest assured, follow me Zhao Yi does not say anything else, I will definitely let you display your ambitions in your heart, and go in vain in the world!" ”
The five brothers of the Ma family who Zhao Yi said were enthusiastic, and immediately followed back to the barracks.
With the help of these five brothers, Zhao Yi was more comfortable in handling the affairs of the city, and soon took over Wuling City.
After taking care of the aftermath, Zhang Fei once again sorted out his army and prepared to go south to capture Lingling.
"Hahaha~~~ Hongfei, it's really right to come out with you this time, I just need to eat and drink, you keep everything in order, it's hard to believe that you are only seventeen years old!"
When the troops were about to be dispatched, Zhang Fei rode on the horse with a red face, and he could see that he had drunk well in the past few days.
"Third master, according to the report of the detective horse, the lord, the second master, and the military advisor have successfully taken Changsha, and they have also subdued the veteran Huang Zhong, and the speed of the march is almost the same as ours."
"What? Big brother and second brother, they have already taken Changsha? Then we'll have to hurry up, and we're going to march now! ”
Zhang Fei became anxious when he heard this, and shouted that the army was running forward.
"Don't worry, the third master is still a long way from Wuling to Lingling, the soldiers can't stand such a rapid march, and the road from Changsha to Guiyang Mountain is rugged and difficult, our side is relatively easy to walk, and the final win must be you, the third master."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, seeing that Zhang Fei still had a dark face and did not answer, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Third master, in fact, Hongfei watched the sky last night, and calculated that it was not appropriate to march in a hurry. ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hongfei is a disciple of the immortals, and he must have received the guidance of the immortals, so it is up to you to march normally. ”
As soon as Zhang Fei led people out of the gate of Wuling City, he saw a group of southern barbarians standing not far away, led by the barbarian king Shamoke.
"What are you doing here? Looking for death? ”
What Zhang Fei cares about most now in his heart is the bet with Zhuge Liang, and all those who dare to stop him will bear his corresponding anger.
Shamoke's back stiffened when Zhang Fei asked, and he hurriedly explained: "The general misunderstood, we are waiting here specifically to defect to the general." ”
"Oh? Defect to me? Hmmm......"
Zhang Fei squinted his eyes and looked back and forth at those Southern Barbarians, it was obvious that he didn't like these people.
"Hongfei, you just don't have any available manpower around you, so let these southern barbarians follow you and listen to your dispatch."
Zhang Fei had an idea and threw all these southern barbarians to Zhao Yi, anyway, he felt that the immortal disciples would definitely be able to control these barbarians.
Zhao Yi did not refuse to come, and he was now worried about the lack of manpower under his hands.
Before the army set off south to Lingling, he left all four brothers of the Ma family here, except for Ma Yan.
In addition, there were only sixty horses, and fifteen Lu Lingqi and her bandits.
There are hundreds of people on Shamoke's side, and they are all fierce Southern Barbarians, who can take charge of their own with a little training.
"Don't worry, third master, leave it all to me."
