Chapter 66
Ma Liang and Ma Bing each sat at a table.

There was a bamboo slip and a document in front of each of them, and the two of them read it attentively.

Although Ma Bing was only the "chief secretary" of the "thief Cao's mansion" and a small official with a salary of three hundred shi, Ma Liang often called him to handle government affairs together.

The Ma family Wuchang is well-known in Jingzhou... But Ma Liang's three elder brothers "Ma Bochang", "Ma Zhongchang" and "Ma Shuchang" have no intention of official career, so those who can take on the burden of the Ma family in the future, in addition to Ma Liang's younger brother "Ma Di Ma Youchang", also Only the son Ma Bing was left.

Before reaching the crown, Ma Liang has already begun to teach him how to deal with government affairs.

The documents in front of him were sent from various counties and counties. Ma Liang read them quickly. After a few glances at one copy, he approved it and threw it aside.

Ma Bing looked at his father's comment, tucked his chin, and pondered the reason for his father's arrangement.

The two fathers and sons fought like this.

finally…

When Ma Bing saw a letter about the taxes and land taxes of the four counties in Jingnan, Ma Bing was surprised and couldn't help sighing: "Unexpectedly, the land taxes and ordnance sent to Jiangling from Changsha and Guiyang every year are so high." many!"

Hearing his son's exclamation, Ma Liang put away the documents in front of him and explained: "Now, Jiangling City, where we are located, is located between two great plains, which is suitable for agriculture, but it happens to be Cao, Sun, Liu The intersection of the territories of the three families is a battleground for military strategists."

"Jiangling is a military fortress. It is obviously not suitable to develop farmland and commerce here. Therefore, after discussing with me in the past, Kong Ming turned the center of agriculture and commerce to Jingnan. Both Changsha and Guiyang are fertile land, producing a lot of money and food. , and is rich in weapons!"

"Especially in Changsha, its geographical location makes it extremely convenient to transport military resources. Once it falls into the hands of others, it will be tantamount to 'choking Jiangling's throat' and making Jiangling a river without a source."

Ma Bing recalled the specific location of Changsha, and added following his father's words: "My child thinks that this Changsha is not only the throat of Jiangling, but also the throat of Wu and Shu. !"

Yes, a Changsha county connects Jiangdong, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Bashu, and is an important place for the supply of grain and armaments. Its simplicity can be seen.

"My son is right. This is why Soochow must force us to hand over the three counties of Changsha. It's just..." In the first breath, Ma Liang was still pleased with his son's insight at a young age. It sank.

He thought of the current situation.

Yes…

Today, one is the Hefei battlefield between Sun Quan and Zhang Liao, and the other is Guan Gong's single-handed attendance at the "Hongmen Banquet" set by Lu Su. The current situation is changing rapidly!
It is very likely that the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia will change the Dawang Banner overnight.

Among them, more than half of Jiang Xia was in Soochow's hands, so if he gave up, he would give up;

However, Changsha and Guiyang...are important supplies for the military fortress of Jiangling, and they are the main way to connect the four directions. Once they are given away, then...Jingzhou will be passive.

Thinking of this, it is inevitable that Ma Liang will feel sad.

Ma Bing saw his father's thoughts, and also frowned and said with emotion: "Oh...it's all about that hateful Hong Qigong, the hateful Hefei bet! Otherwise..."

After speaking, his voice stopped abruptly, because he saw a letter wrapped in a red and white purse in the corner

"Huh? Why is there a document hidden here?"

While speaking, Ma Bing took out the red and white purse, but when the red and white purse came out, Ma Liang's face changed suddenly.

"Quick... bring it!"

The reason why he became so nervous is because there is a rule in the Han army, if it is urgent, it must be "one post-horse every thirty miles, and the soldiers are all red and red."

In the Han army, in the Guan family army, messengers with red scarves and red sleeves and "red and white purses" are necessary for urgent shipments within six hundred miles, but this red and white purse in front of you?

Sure enough, Ma Liang was taken aback, and exclaimed: "I almost missed a big deal!"

While speaking, he hurriedly picked up the letter and quickly unfolded it.

You know, in normal times, this kind of "Six Hundred Miles" urgent military papers are sent directly to the Guan Mansion and sent to Guan Gong.

But now that Guan Gong is not around, the courier was sent to Guan's mansion, but there was no one to pick it up, so he had to send it to the military adviser Ma Liang.

It's just that Ma Liang's affairs are mainly government affairs, and there are few urgent cases. The door officials don't know the so-called "red and white purse" military documents, and they just follow the steps and arrange them in order of first come, first come.

In the end, this letterhead was only presented, without a special reminder.

Thinking about it carefully, this is a huge negligence of Ma Liang.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

Because, with the opening of the letter paper, Ma Liang's movements stopped, his expression was surprised and puzzled, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

Ma Liang's ghostly expression was noticed by Ma Bing, and he quickly asked, "Father? What's wrong with you?"

With a "gudong", Ma Liang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and quickly waved: "You, you come here..."

Ma Bing hurried over to look.

Ma Liang pointed to the words on the dispatch, and his voice tremblingly exclaimed: "Win, just last night, Zhang Liao's hundreds of soldiers... just killed Sun Quan's [-] troops! Now, even that Dong The life and death of Wu Guozhu and Sun Quan are uncertain!"

Ma Bing was young and had a quick reaction. He suddenly became excited, "Jiangdong lost? Doesn't that mean...the 'Hefei Gambling' that 'Hong Qigong' laid down all over the city...we...we finally became the ones who benefited the most! "

Ma Bingyue became more excited when he said, "Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia counties don't have to give up. Uncle Liu's borrowing of Jingzhou...will never be mentioned again? Wait...Looking at it this way, then 'Hong Qigong' may not be a heinous crime, he Maybe it's...a farsightedness, it's...a friend rather than an enemy!"

Amidst Ma Bing's great excitement, Ma Liang pondered for a long time before he nodded heavily.

His eyes slowly focused on his son's face.

"It's a friend, not an enemy. My son said it well, but my son must not forget..."

"Besides that 'Hong Qigong', there is another person in Jiangling City who has figured out the situation!"

Under his father's sudden accent, Ma Bing's handsome and confident face suddenly became pale and helpless.

In an instant, about... about, his "superior boss", about the "weird" behaviors of the fourth son Guan Lin, seemed to have a fulcrum all of a sudden!
huh... huh...

Ma Bing was breathing quickly. He looked at the urgent mail and then looked up at his father. He opened his mouth, but...as if his throat was choked, he couldn't speak.

At this moment, he seemed to understand something, and he seemed to have even greater doubts in his heart!
Even... for a moment, Ma Bing had such an idea?
Mr. Guan Lin, he... how did he expect it?
This is too outrageous, right?
——Zhang Liao's [-] riders!

Mr. Guan Lin dared to speak, and Zhang Liao also dared to fight.

There is another, huh, there is also Sun Quan, he really dares to lose!
