Xiaoguangong

Chapter 102 Chess Game
Zhao Yan lost his mind.

He thought that although he was not a good person, he was still loyal to the Cao family.This time he fulfilled his duties, and he had fulfilled his duty as a counselor, but he was dismissed from military power first, and then Yunshan severely blackmailed him.The most painful thing for him is that he thought that by using his face ability, he should be able to get some armor to fill Yunshan's mouth, but he knew that he couldn't do it himself, and knew that Yunshan was a lion with a big mouth, but he was protected by him Most of the Seventh Army were unwilling to help him solve the problem.

Only Zhang Liao and Zhu Ling were honest, and each of them solved 100 sets of iron armor for Zhao Yan, but this was far from the request of the Yunshan Lion.

Zhao Yan felt annoyed in his heart, and thought that Lao Tzu was still the prime minister's master, at least he was one of the four famous scholars in Yingchuan, at worst, we will break up at once, and I will sue you slowly in front of the prime minister, not afraid that I will not sue you.

But when he thought about it again, he became sluggish again.

Now Cao Cao's two cousins, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, are in Jiangling, and Sun Liu will launch an attack on this soon. The status of Yunshan, who is good at water warfare and brave, is rising. Tolerating Yunshan's waywardness, it has been difficult for Zhao Yan to be promoted at least.

The official position of Cao Cao's master book is not low in theory, but the key is that there are too many people, plus various military divisions, military divisions sacrificial wine, marching chief history, long history, Dongxicao and various officials, it is not easy for Zhao Yan to throw it in. No splash.

In terms of status, he can't compare with Xun Yu, the head of civil servants, and in terms of intimacy, he can't compare with Wang Bi, Cao Cao's key cultivation target.If Zhao Yan didn't get the chance to be promoted for a long time, and was attacked by Yunshan at a critical point, and he was released to be a prefect or a Jiuqing in the court, his career would almost end, he would definitely be far inferior to Chen Qun , Xun You and other Yingchuan fellows.

Not long ago, he was still able to protect the Seventh Army, but Yu Jin and Zhang Liao had to listen to his command. This gap is too great.

He stared blankly at the sky, he didn't know what to do for a moment, sometimes he wanted to turn against Yunshan directly, and sometimes he wanted to wag his tail and make peace with Yunshan, he wavered and felt quite anxious.

At this moment, he saw Ma Liang hurried past not far in front with his hands behind his back and his head bowed. Zhao Yan jumped up suddenly and rushed towards Ma Liang in three steps at a time.He grabbed Ma Liang's wrist and said loudly:

"Ji often stays behind!"

Ma Liang staggered when he was dragged, and immediately looked angry.

"What do you want to do?"

This is Jingzhou, Ma Liangcai doesn't care what Yingchuan celebrity you are, Zhao Yan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, smiled and said:

"Brother Ma's family is very knowledgeable, and a certain student also studies "Yi", "Mao Poems" and "Huainanzi". I wonder if I have time to ask for a lesson or two?"

"What?" Ma Liang was stunned.

It is said that Cai Mao can be called the leader of the wealthy clan in Jingzhou. On the one hand, his family is indeed powerful, and on the other hand, it is because Cai Mao's family married a famous person in the Central Plains, and he himself went to the Central Plains to study.

Although Ma Liang has also studied, he has never obtained the authentic biography of great Confucianism. He is a wild way of private learning. There must be no problem with teaching according to the scriptures. It is obviously a joke to give lectures to Zhao Yan, one of the Four Scholars of Yingchuan.

But Ma Liang didn't refuse. He touched his chin and showed a weird smile on his face.

"Please."

Ma Liang has now resigned from his official position, and it is said that he is going back to farming.

But everyone knows that all the barbarians around Xiangyang have to obey Ma Liang's orders. This kind of person stands on the bright side and everyone has something to say to make a living.

If you go into the dark...

It's better not to transfer in.

Ma Liang took Zhao Yan to a small boat by the river, asked his servants to fetch tables, wine and food, and pretended to get a chessboard. The two sat down, Zhao Yan grabbed a handful of black chess, and played it leisurely. Tian Yuan made Ma Liang unable to react for a long time.

Is this the world of playing chess in the Central Plains?
He scratched his head and dealt with it casually, only to hear Zhao Yan say:
"The epidemic in our army before really offended Tanzhi, this time Tanzhi asked me for [-] collars of armor, I really can't afford that much, please ask Ji Chang to make peace, and I will thank you very much in the future. "

Ma Liang snorted, and said leisurely: "I have been waiting in Shiyang for a long time before the rescue arrived. I don't know how many sons died on the battlefield. Hey, these are the elders in my village. If we make peace casually, how can I go to see their wives?" Elders."

Zhao Yan cursed in his heart, but the expression on his face was quite gentle:
"Before, the prime minister intended to use Ji Chang to act as the acting sergeant of Jingzhou. I must recommend a lot in front of the prime minister."

There is a fart.

Ma Liang almost scolded directly, and said absent-mindedly, "Ma is used to being idle, and I really let Ma act as an agent for military affairs. It must be possible, I must delay important matters."

Zhao Yan heard that Ma Liang was pretending to evade, so he simply said:
"I don't know what Ji Chang wants?"

Ma Liang said solemnly: "In this big defeat, I don't know how many children followed me to the battle, and died in the battle. They are the pillars of the family, and they are gone. Their wives and children can't be dismissed with a few catties of grain and rice.

Ma is going to become a seller and raise them for the rest of his life, and reward them for saving Ma. If Mr. Zhao can make it easier for Ma, Ma will be very grateful and will try his best to make peace. "

"This……"

Of course Zhao Yan understood what it meant.

God knows how many of these "families" of Jingzhou soldiers are there. So many people need to eat and receive pensions from the court. Isn't your Zhao Yan capable in front of the prime minister?

It depends on how capable you are.

If Ma Liang speaks loudly to the lion, Zhao Yan has no choice but to turn against him.

"Ji Chang might as well make it clearer."

"Well, I'm not going to make things difficult for Mr. Zhao." Ma Liang said with a smile, "How about putting these old and weak people in the camp to support them?"

"What?" Zhao Yan didn't understand Ma Liang's train of thought for a moment.

Ma Liang repeated it again, and Zhao Yan's face was clouded immediately.

"How many people do you want."

"Not much, [-] will do!"

good appetite.

This is to let Ma Liang legally lead an army of [-].

The supply of food, grass and armaments for these 1 people is provided by the imperial court, and Jingzhou is the front line against Sun Liu. Ma Liangguang can't walk without paying!

"One thousand!" Zhao Yan gritted his teeth.

"I don't feel sorry for Mr. Zhao. In this battle, our army lost more than [-] people. They are all good brothers from Jingzhou."

"Three, three thousand! Ji Chang, I beg you, five thousand is really not enough, I... Prime Minister Cao's eyes are like torches..."

"Five thousand! I will share the food and rice of 2000 people, how about it?"

"This……"

"For the 2000 people, I only want ordnance, not armor, how about it?"

Zhao Yan bit her lip in pain.

He did a lot of things like corporal punishment of soldiers, massacre of people, and capture of married women pretending to be widows, but this was the first time that such a large-scale embezzlement of military supplies and weapons was carried out.

This is something that Li Dian and other low-level wealthy people do. The celebrities in Yingchuan are all Cao Cao's thighs, so how can they do this kind of business to poach their own corners.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, actually, I understand you very well. It is a lot of money to raise a family. I heard that Mr. Zhao often donates money to the village, so I think life is quite poor.

Isn't that the case with Ma!This world has been in chaos for so long, I don't know how long this battle will last, we... Hehe, we all have to think about future generations. "

Zhao Yan's hands were clenched into fists, trembling uncontrollably, and Ma Liang whispered in a devilish voice, "This time Chen Qun surrendered to the enemy, Xun Gongda disappeared, and what will happen to the Yingchuan scholars in the future.

Zhao Gong has a lot of money, so he will help the people of Yingchuan, and the people of Yingchuan are rich, so they can support the prime minister. "

Hearing this, Zhao Yan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

He took a few deep breaths and said in a trembling voice:
"Okay, about the armor..."

"Didn't Mr. Zhao send it to Tanzhi before?"

"Ah?" Celebrity Zhao Yan didn't realize it for a while, the armors in his hand were still in the treasury.

"I've given it. Mr. Zhao must be a nobleman who forgets too much. If there are too many, just collect them yourself!"

Zhao Yan couldn't stop trembling all over his body. He wanted to refuse, but finally he lowered his head and nodded slowly.

Ma Liang looked at the white chess piece on the chessboard that looked like a dragon with its huge mouth open, and smiled like a spring flower on his face.

He whispered: "Jingzhou is short of salt, if Mr. Zhao is interested...I guarantee that the barbarians will never plunder Mr. Zhao! Of course, Mr. Zhao doesn't care about the profit of the pennies. Mr. Zhao's nephew is here. Just say hello. Jing Xiang can also go as much as he likes!"
