He was on good terms with Meng Da, and now he couldn't believe that Meng Da would betray him so easily.

In the past few days, he kept looking for Liu Chan to confirm Meng Da's fate in the fate. Hearing that Meng Da was defeated and died in the end, and his reputation was ruined, Fazheng couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"What a Mencius, he doesn't know what's good or bad."

Meng Da wrote a letter to Fazheng before, praising Liu Chan for his teaching skills,

Now it seems that there is a good chance that there was a rebellion at that time, so he pretended to be a gesture to stabilize everyone in Chengdu.

Seeing Fazheng's melancholy expression, Liu Chan was afraid that this important counselor who would burp this year in history was over-concerned, so he hurriedly called Zhuge Qiao, his chief dog-headed military strategist, and asked him to do Fazheng's ideological work well.

No matter what method is used, Fazheng must stop sighing.

It would be uncomfortable if Fazheng had an accident because of Meng Da.

Zhuge Qiao readily accepted the task.

He took the initiative to find Fazheng who was in a daze, and bowed respectfully:

"Why do you need to worry too much, Lord Faling?

Regarding Meng Da's matter, the son has already planned it, so naturally everything is under control. "

Speaking of which, Fazheng has a very extreme personality, he is always vengeful, petty and mean, and has few friends.

Liu Bei and Fazheng can be called friends with one hand, and Meng Da is one of them.

He really didn't want Meng Da to commit suicide,

Otherwise, Liu Bei might be able to give Fazheng a face and not kill Meng Da, how could Guan Yu's temper spare Meng Da's life.

Seeing Zhuge Qiao kneeling in front of him, Fazheng forced a wry smile:

"Fa is ashamed, so I don't need to be persuaded by Bosong." (After Zhuge Qiao became a general, Liu Bei personally bestowed the word Bosong)

Zhuge Qiao smiled and said:

"Qiao is young and virtuous, so why did he come to comfort Lord Fa Ling?

It was about Mengda's matter, but Qiao was a little guessing, so he asked Mr. Faling to clarify his doubts. "

Knowing that Zhuge Qiao is one of Liu Chan's cronies, Fazheng immediately lifted his spirits:

"Bo Song, but it's okay to say."

Zhuge Qiao smiled and said:

"What do you think? Can this destiny be changed?"

"Naturally not." Fazheng said categorically, "The destiny is the destiny? The power of heaven is impermanent? The destiny is hard to violate.

This is the fate of people to die, people have to die?

If anyone can reverse the fate of heaven, wouldn't it be...Huh? "

Looking at Zhuge Qiao's half-smile expression? Fazheng seemed to realize something.

Yup?

When the prince said before that Meng Da and Shen Yi were going to rebel, he also said that I and Huang Hansheng were going to die this year.

The son rushed to Jingzhou before, which destroyed Soochow's destiny to attack Guan Yunchang.

This time, he took me and Huang Hansheng to Jingzhou again? Obviously also to crack the destiny?

Before that, he wrote to Mencius for the same reason...

"As ordinary people, we can only let the fate rule us,

But the son is deeply favored by Haotian, and he is the No. 1 thing under the destiny.

The son can even change the lifespan of the lawmaker? Not to mention Mengda..."

"Since the prince wrote a letter to Mencius Du earlier, Mencius Du sent his son to reply? The letter is quite submissive.

I guess the son must have other plans, maybe like the battle in Jingzhou, the weight is as light as it is? This time it is Cao Wei's turn to be unlucky. "

Fazheng could actually sense that Liu Chan must be panicking too.

But subconsciously, he still hoped that what Zhuge Qiao said was true.

He nodded vigorously:

"Bosong's words are wonderful. I hope Meng Da will be like what Bosong said. He will not suffer from the sword."

The military situation is on fire? It took only five days for Liu Chan's army to arrive at Jiangling. (It is about 330 kilometers from Baidi to Jiangling. Even if there is no big flood season and good wind direction, the average voyage of 15 kilometers per hour can still be guaranteed. Including the distance from Chengdu to Baidi, five days is not a big problem. Not too exaggerated)

While sending people to quickly summon the great writer Deng Tong to Jiangling for a reconciliation, he ordered Ding Li to stop practicing, and to reconcile with Chen Shi, a tool man who was idle in Jiangling, and prepare to go north.

Although Ma Liang had already heard the news of Meng Da's betrayal and the fall of the three counties,

But he thought that Wei Jun was just seeking his own death, and he would soon be beaten to death by Guan Yu, so there was nothing to fear at all.

It can be seen that Liu Chan was sweating profusely when he rushed back from Yizhou, and even brought back both Fazheng and Huang Zhong. Ma Liang immediately realized that it was not good.

"My lord, what happened?"

Ma Liang is the leader of the Jingzhou family, and Liu Chan doesn't want to create panic when the enemy's situation is unknown.

He forced a smile and said:

"Nothing, just... just...

Oh, my father and the army strategist made a plan early on, to fight Cao Jun in Jingzhou,

Before I returned to Yizhou, it was only to temporarily catch Cao Jun off guard.

Now that the three eastern counties have fallen, I will personally lead the army to a decisive battle with Cao's army, and strive to severely injure Cao's bandits' wings and regain Xinye! "

Ma Liang breathed a sigh of relief and sighed:

"The prince's use of troops is indeed very miraculous. With the prince in charge, our army will surely win a complete victory this time."

What Ma Liang said was very sincere, and there seemed to be a trace of fanaticism hidden in his eyes, which made Liu Chan a little confused for a while.

Ma Liang's fanaticism is not without reason.

Now woodblock printing has been widely promoted in Jingzhou. Although the promotion of papermaking is slow and ink suitable for printing has not been invented for a while, seals have been around for so many years, and it is only a matter of time.

The Jingzhou aristocratic family, which has always strongly supported Liu Bei and his son, has shown great vitality after obtaining two technologies of papermaking and printing.

Ma Liang personally came forward to unite the big and small families in Jingxiang, took out the books in his home, opened a library together, made paper and printed books, and distributed them to the children of each family for free.

You know, most of the classical justice these days is in the hands of the big clans of the Central Plains,

What the Jingxiang Hao family had mastered was only the handed down manuscripts and further handed down manuscripts,

In copying, it is inevitable that there will be misspellings, omissions, typos, and bamboo slips will definitely be damaged if they are turned over and over again. Who would like to give away the books they have exhausted to copy for free to a bunch of small families for plagiarism.

The final interpretation of knowledge has always been in the hands of the Central Plains clan.

But Ma Liang believes that the people in Jingchu are not less talented than those in the Central Plains, but that they lack books and progress too slowly, even if they have talents, they will be buried.

As long as the engraving and papermaking techniques are popularized well, in another ten years, the land of Jingchu will become a land of books,

And the scrolls held by scholars all over the world will also become pirated scriptures that the Jingzhou aristocrats don't know where they copied them from, and don't know if they can match the original texts.

For example, in the "Tao Te Ching", "Great implements are late bloomers" was originally written as "Great implements are free from success", but because of deviations in the process of copying, everyone still studied the millennium according to "Great implements are late bloomers",

Even if archeology finds the original later...

But so what?For so many years, I have made it up according to my late blooming brain, and everyone is too lazy to change it.

This is what Ma Liang wanted, and it was the best way to make the pile of pirated books in his hand glow.

Moreover, the profits of printing and papermaking are really considerable, and it can guarantee a lot of money in the short term.

At the very beginning, several surnames still gave Ma Liang face, and they took out the books at home to make engravings.

However, there are also several small households and offshoots of large households who say that this practice will lead to the popularization of knowledge, which may cause these big names to lose their high and noble status.

When these people ran in front of Ma Liang and told Ma Liang that the matter was inappropriate, Ma Liang just thought about it for a while and then nodded.

"What I'm saying is that I didn't think enough—

I really never thought before that there would be mice who don't like corn but are willing to eat feces. "

His white eyebrows twitched, and a cold smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"I, Ma Liang, don't want your fake books. From now on, your family and children will only study hard behind closed doors, and don't come out to make friends with officials.

Jingzhou elites are all loyal to the prince, the king of Hanzhong, and the Han Dynasty,

Since you don't want to repay, it's not enough to talk to Gao Shi-go back! "

Although Ma Liang is quite submissive in front of Liu Bei and his son, he is known for his courage among the Jingzhou family.

In one sentence, he completely denied the collections of those other people's books, and no one will read or learn their unique secret books in the future, and these bamboo slips are naturally useless.

This trick basically sealed off the qualifications of all the children of these families to become officials, and even made this small family suffer from the unanimous bullying and exclusion of the big family, and even the family's land would be seized and taken away.

Those small families were frightened out of their wits, begging for mercy again and again,

But Ma Liang had long wanted to set up a target to deter people with ulterior motives, and now a few small families bumped into the wall, so naturally he would not easily spare them.

He immediately announced that those aristocratic families were disloyal, intending to kick them out of Jingzhou's upper social circle,

After that, he still didn't think it was cruel, and began to think about the method of cutting grass and roots.

At that time, Ma Su and Zhou Qun sent Cao Wei back as envoys,

Ma Di, who hadn't seen his fourth brother for a long time, was very happy. He even introduced Shi Bao, a coachman he had brought from the north, to Ma Liang, saying that although this boy came from a poor family, he was very well-spoken, courteous, and an outstanding individual.

He said that the fourth brother can find a chance to practice a little bit, and a young man has a chance to grow up.

Shi Bao has a strong desire for power, and she has always wanted to show off her talents in front of Ma Di and Zhou Qun along the way.

Especially his military talent.

Unfortunately, he ran into Ma Su, a well-known historical master of talking on paper.

After talking for a few days, Shi Bao no longer dared to speak in front of Ma Di, she was quiet and humble, how dare she pretend to be aggressive in front of Ma Liang.

Ma Liang chatted with Shi Bao for a few words, and saw that the boy answered in a reasonable manner, but his words were a little less confident.

He thought to himself that this person came from a poor family after all, and it is normal for him not to be able to hold his head up in front of the aristocratic family.

Anyway, he is an outsider with no background, so let him deal with those small households who don't have a good eye.

If it can be done, Ma Liang is willing to give this poor family a chance to advance.

If it can't be done...

If you can't do it, it's not bad to follow Pan Jun to care for the barbarians, you should make the best use of it.

Liu Chan still didn't know that the future founder of the Jin Dynasty, Sima, and the Duke of Leling County came under his rule inexplicably.

He received the news that Chang Diao Wenpin had led his army northward, probably heading towards Xiangyang.

There was no sign of a large-scale assembly of the Wei army north of the Han River. The Wei army under Chang Diao and Wenpin was only [-], and they dared to outflank Guan Yu's retreat.

If it's not that Liu Chan is not taken seriously, it must be that he has great confidence in capturing Xiangyang.

At this moment, Ma Liang also realized that Xiangyang was really about to fight a big battle.

Out of trust in Liu Chan, Ma Liang smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, this time, I will let you go out with me, so that I can see my son's ability to use soldiers!"

Chapter 217 We Still Have an Ally

Ma Liang is serious.

Everyone knows that Ma Di has a great talent, and there is really no one in this world who can surpass Ma Di in terms of military affairs.

However, Liu Chan, who has read history books, has a strong resistance to Ma Di's participation in the military, for fear that Ma Di will kill his army inexplicably.

But Ma Liang has been trying his best to be a cow to his father and son recently, and now he is so sincere, Liu Chan doesn't know how to refuse for a while.

Although Ma Di's level of joining the army is still remarkable, but Liu Chan is afraid.

After a moment of hesitation, he whispered:

"Young Chang, I have other great uses. The defeat of this battle is entirely on You Chang alone."
