Chapter 385
Zhang Wu couldn't go back to Xiangyang for the New Year, but he asked Ma Liang to go back first.On the one hand, the boss of the Ma family, Uncle Ma, suddenly died of illness in winter. Now that the war is over, let Ma Liang go back to pay respects; Don't worry about the situation in the family, Ma Liang is Zhang Wu's eldest uncle, and he can be regarded as a family.

After Ma Liang returned to Xiangyang, he went home first to worship his dead brother.Several parents of the Ma brothers died early, and it was up to the elder brother and the second elder brother to manage the family affairs, bring up the younger brothers and cultivate them into talents. The eldest brother is like a father, so Ma Liang and others respect the two elder brothers very much.

Now the eldest, Uncle Ma, has passed away from illness, and the second, Ma Zhongchang, is in poor health, and has also resigned from his post to recuperate at home.

"Ji Chang, don't be sad anymore. Although you were not around when the elder brother passed away, you were still busy with state affairs. My Ma family can have today's status, thanks to the lord's kindness. Before the elder brother died, I also asked me to tell you. Do your best to help the Lord."

The rest of the brothers all expressed that they would follow the advice of the eldest brother and the second brother, do their duty and serve the Lord.

Later, Ma Liang introduced to everyone the process of capturing Yizhou and talked about the current situation. Everyone was very happy after hearing this.The Ma family is Zhang Wu's wife clan and the family closest to Zhang Wu. The larger Zhang Wu's territory and the stronger his power, the higher the Ma family's status will be.

If Zhang Wu can finally rule the world, maybe the dynasty will change. As the relatives of the Ma family, even if they cannot be as powerful as the relatives of the Han Dynasty, they are definitely a family at the pinnacle of power.

Ma Liang said to Ma Di again: "Young Chang, you have to be prepared, the lord may send you to the army to lead the training."

Ma Di is 21 years old this year, and has been carefully trained by Zhang Wu since he was a child. Not only were Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others taught strategies, but also Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others taught martial arts. Now he is really both civil and military.

However, Ma Su lacked actual combat experience. Although he often went to the military camp to train and conquered thieves with the army, but they were all small fights and had no experience in real wars. Therefore, Zhang Wu planned to let him start leading troops on the battlefield himself. To practice.

Ma Di was also very happy after hearing this. He had long wanted to lead troops to fight and make contributions, but his brother-in-law never gave him a chance and kept letting him learn this and that, so Ma Di could endure hardships.

Even Pang Tong and others said that Ma Di had already learned the truth, and the actual combat was short of time. Wei Yan also said that although Ma Di's martial arts was not perfect, he could at least fight Wei Yan for [-] rounds.

Zhang Wu also personally tested Ma Di's strategy and martial arts, and was very happy to find that what his teachers said was true.

Ma Su happily asked: "Fourth brother, do you know where the lord wants me to go? Should I go under Shi Yuan's command or under Kong Ming's command?"

Ma Liang said, "None."

"Oh? Do you want me to go to Yizhou?"

"Not at all."

Now Ma Di is a little confused. Apart from these three places, where else will there be battles?

"Fourth brother, where exactly do you want me to go?"

"Jiangdong Kuaiji County, you should go to General He Qi's command and follow him to conquer Shanyue."

Ma Di was suddenly a little disappointed, thinking that he was going to fight Cao Cao, but it turned out that he was fighting a group of barbarians in the mountains!What's the point of that, those barbarians don't even understand military formations, it's too easy to beat them.

Although Ma Di has never been to Kuaiji, nor has he seen what the Shanyue tribe is like, there are also Wuxi Man in Jingzhou, and Ma Liang has a good relationship with them. I have been to the mountains, and I have seen their barbarians. They are really brave in fighting, but unfortunately they have no rules at all.

Ma Su even felt that as long as he led [-] elite soldiers, he could defeat [-] barbarians.

So Ma Di said a little unhappy: "The group of barbarians can't even fight, what's the point? No, after my brother-in-law comes back, I will go to talk to my brother-in-law and let me go to fight Cao Jun."

Ma Liang sneered and said: "There is no brother-in-law in the army, only the commander, and only the lord. The lord is afraid that you will be young and frivolous, so I let you go to conquer Shanyue to grind your temper. You think that Shanyue is easy to fight Yes? At that time, Sun Quan was also under the command of fierce generals. Why has he been unable to calm Shanyue for more than ten years? It is a big mistake to underestimate the enemy. Better serve the Lord."

Ma Di is not a person who does not know the importance. For so many years, Jingzhou has been at war with each other. After each battle, Zhang Wu would call the military advisers to discuss the gains and losses and sum up the experience. The young people whom Wu was more optimistic about were listening in on the sidelines.

Therefore, Ma Di also knew that what he just said was inappropriate. Fortunately, he was talking about it in his own home. If he really went to speak in front of the lord, maybe the lord would not even let him go to Kuaiji in a fit of anger.

Zhang Wu really loved Ma Su, but he was very strict with him. The most common sentence he said to him was "The soldiers are dangerous and the battle is fierce, the general is incompetent, and the three armies are killed."

Ma Di said: "Fourth Brother, I know I was wrong, I will definitely obey the Lord's arrangement and study hard with General He."

"Well, that's good. My lord also said that I will give you two years, and then I will personally listen to General He Qi's evaluation of you. If you perform well in these two years, my lord will use you again. If you don't perform well, you should study at home honestly, and don't even think about leading troops in the future. General He Qi is upright and sticks to principles. He will definitely not deliberately say good things for you, so you should do it yourself."

Although He Qi's life is somewhat extravagant, his character is nothing to say.When he acted as the magistrate of Shan County, a county magistrate committed crimes. He Qi wanted to punish him, but the director dissuaded him, saying that the county magistrate came from a wealthy family in Shan County and had close ties with Shanyue people. Maybe there will be bandits coming to attack.

As a result, He Qi was furious and beheaded the county magistrate on the spot.Afterwards, as expected, the clansmen of the county officials colluded with more than a thousand bandits and came to invade. He Qi led the officials and the people, opened the city gate and launched a surprise attack, and won a complete victory.

Therefore, He Qi will definitely not lie to please the Ma family, deliberately speak good things for Ma Su, he will only report the truth to Zhang Wu.

"Thank you fourth brother, I will remember it."

"You go to the general's mansion first and tell your sister that it's getting late today, so I won't go there. I'll go again tomorrow morning."

After Ma Su left, the third uncle, Ma Shuchang, said: "Young Chang has grown up, and has been loved by the lord, and he has become a talent. My Ma family has Ji Chang and You Chang here, so I can have no worries. My elder brother is also quite relieved before he dies."

Ma Liang said: "Youchang has indeed grown a lot, but he still lacks training. However, no matter how talented you are, the lord will not reuse him."

"Why is this?"
