The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 386

"Second brother, third brother, although our Ma family is also a Xiangyang family, it is not as good as the Cai family, Huang family, Kuai family, and Pang family back then. The current status is due to the marriage with the lord. The younger sister is very much loved by the lord, and the eldest son is also very much loved by the lord, so we brothers don't have to occupy any high positions at all. In this world, except for General Chen and General Gan, who else has a better relationship with the lord than our Ma family? closer?"

The brothers of the Ma family are all very smart people, otherwise they would not be called "the five permanent members of the Ma family" by the world, and they naturally understand the meaning of Ma Liang's words. None of them are in high positions, and Ma Liang is still only a member of the army.

In terms of official position, Ma Liang is not as good as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, etc., even Kuai Yue, Lu Su, Zhang Song, Fazheng, Lu Meng, etc. who later turned to him are also higher than Ma Liang.Now the eldest of the Ma family is dead, the second is recuperating at home, and the third is just a subordinate official of a state shepherd's mansion.

But the relationship between the Ma family and Zhang Wu is there, which is more important than any official position, so the lower the profile, the better.

Ma Liang went on to say: "After occupying Yizhou this time, the lord and Cao Cao have faced a confrontation between the north and the south, but it is not so easy to defeat Cao Cao. The lord once said that it is not easy to rule the world. Maybe ten years. It may take 20 years, and it may take the next generation to complete. Although the lord is younger than Cao Cao, he is nearly forty years old, so it is natural to think in the long term. General Huang, General Guan, General Zhang, etc. If you can fight for a few years, if the unification needs to be completed by the eldest son, then you will be in the right year."

"You mean, the lord intends to keep the younger one for appointment with the eldest son?"

"Maybe, maybe not. My lord has always been far-sighted in his actions, and I can't guess. But the world is unpredictable. Maybe in more than ten years, the lord can defeat Cao Cao and rule the world. However, the lord also said that after the unification of the world, only It's just the beginning, there are nomads in the north, the Western Regions, the southern borders, and even the sea of ​​stars. When our generation grows old, after the Eldest Prince takes over, won't we have to rely on our closest relatives?"

Ma Liang has always been close to Zhang Wu, and he knows more about Zhang Wu's thoughts and plans than outsiders. If this is the case, then the Ma family can survive forever.

Ma Di is only 20 years old this year, and in another 20 years he will be in his prime. He is not only the eldest son's uncle, but also the master's favorite person.Moreover, Ma Di has a teacher-student friendship with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, as well as a brotherly relationship, and has a good relationship with many generals in the army. Perhaps unconsciously, the lord has already made arrangements.

Early the next morning, Ma Liang came to Cheqi General's Mansion to visit his sister, Zhang Wu's wife Ma Wei.

Zhang Wu's eldest son, Zhang Ming, is just six years old and very smart. I haven't seen Ma Liang for nearly a year, and I feel that he has grown a lot taller.Zhang Ming hadn't seen his uncle for a long time, and he missed him very much.

"Ming'er, come, let my uncle hug me, do you miss my uncle?" Ma Liang happily hugged Zhang Ming and asked.

"I miss my uncle, and I also miss my father. Uncle, when will Father come back?" Little Zhang Ming asked with one arm around Ma Liang's neck and the other stroking Ma Liang's white eyebrows.

"Soon, I'll be back when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Tomorrow, have you studied hard with the teacher?"

"Yes, the teacher and classmates are very good, but Teacher You is very powerful, and even beat Ming'er's palm."

Although Zhang Wu asked his son to worship Zhuge Liang as his teacher, but now Zhuge Liang is guarding Jianye and presiding over the war in Huainan, so he has no time to teach Zhang Ming, so Zhang Wu asked Zhang Ming to go to the state school.

Zhang Wu opened a kindergarten class in the state school, and put his son in it for enlightenment education. The classmates were all children of the same age from the families of civil and military officials, and there were seven-year-old A Dou and Xiao Qiao's son Zhou Xun.

Children in this age group are just when they are naughty. It is conceivable that ordinary state school teachers really dare not care about such a group of distinguished children.But Shi Miheng, the head of General Chaqi's mansion, also serves as the sacrificial wine of the state school, and he also attaches great importance to these children, because after a few years, the old generation's hard-earned foundation will be inherited by them.

Other teachers didn't dare to take care of them, but Ni Heng didn't have this concern. Ma Su was often taught a lesson back then.The current Mi Heng holds a high position and power. After taking power for a long time, the previous bad habits have changed a lot. She doesn't swear and spray people very often, but occasionally she will scold the subordinates who are not doing things well.

Now Zhang Wu is no longer a lieutenant general in Jiangxia County who has a position but no authority. He occupies half of the country and the lives and deaths of countless people are in his hands. .

Zhang Wu is a nostalgic person, and Mi Heng is the first scholar who turned to him. Over the years, he has done his duty conscientiously and conscientiously helped Zhang Wu deal with civil affairs, so that Zhang Wu can fight abroad with peace of mind. Zhang Wu can achieve the current achievements, so is Mi Heng. A great contribution has been made.

So Zhang Wu is still very tolerant of Mi Heng, and he also knows that he has that temper. Besides, Zhang Wu now has many people under his command, so he really needs to have all kinds of people.If it is inconvenient for Zhang Wu to say something, you can ask Mi Heng to say it, and Ni Heng has never joined a gang or faction, only talks about work and principles, and does not give face to any faction.

Therefore, when Mi Heng slapped Zhang Ming who was naughty in class, the other children listened to the class obediently, as long as they saw Mi Heng, they dared not show their air.

Later, Xiao Zhangming told Ma Wei about this, thinking that his mother would help him vent his anger, but in the end he was punished by his wife to stand, and he never dared to be naughty in class again.

Because Ma Wei knows Mi Heng's status, he is Zhang Wu's absolute confidant, and as the long history of the Chariot General's Mansion, Mi Heng can even represent Zhang Wu himself on certain occasions.

When Zhang Wu led the army to go out, besides Ma Wei, there were two other people who could nominally intervene in the affairs of the general's mansion.

One is Chen Sun, because he is Zhang Wu's sworn brother and can intervene in housework. If Ma Wei wants to use his status as the main wife to deal with other wives, but if Chen Sun thinks it is inappropriate, he can stop it.

In the original book, Sun Shangxiang wanted to take A Dou back to Jiangdong. When Zhao Yun came to stop him, Sun Shangxiang said, "You are just a martial artist, how dare you take care of my family affairs?" So Zhao Yun only dared to stop him, but he didn't dare to do anything.But after Zhang Fei came, he hacked Zhou Shan to death with a sword and took A Dou back. Sun Shangxiang was helpless, because Zhang Fei was Liu Bei's brother and her brother-in-law.

Later, when Liu Bei became the queen of Hanzhong, he asked Zhuge Liang for his opinion on the matter of establishing a son, but Zhuge Liang said, "As for this family matter, ask Guan and Zhang Ke."

In this era, sworn brothers are just like blood brothers, which is not comparable to some wine and meat buddies in later generations.

The other is Mi Heng. As the governor of Liufu, Mi Heng is the chief steward of the General's Mansion in name, who can take charge of the affairs of the General's Mansion and even the affairs of the entire center. Of course, the main thing is the external affairs.
