Zhao Yan was in a state of dismay.

He thought that although he was not a good person, he was still loyal to the Cao family. This time he performed his duties and fulfilled his duties as a counselor. However, he was dismissed first and was blackmailed by Yunshan. What made him most painful was that he thought that he should be able to use some armor to fill Yunshan's mouth with his face, but he knew that he could not do it, and even though he knew that Yunshan was a lion, most of the seven armies protected by him were unwilling to help him solve the problem.

Only Zhang Liao and Zhu Ling were honest, and one of them solved 100 sets of iron armor for Zhao Yan, but this was still far from Yunshan Lion's request for opening up.

Zhao Yan felt disgusted and thought that I was still the prime minister's chief clerk, and at least one of the four famous scholars in Yingchuan. At worst, we can break up. I will sue you slowly in front of the prime minister, not afraid of not being able to sue you.

But he thought about it and then became depressed again.

Now Cao Cao's two cousins, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, are all in Jiangling, and Sun and Liu are about to attack this. Yunshan, who is good at water warfare, has a rise in status. With Le Jin and Xu Huang and others as a guarantee, Cao Cao will certainly tolerate Yunshan's willfulness for the time being, and Zhao Yan will at least be difficult to be promoted.

The official position of Cao Cao's chief clerk is theoretically not low, but the key is that there are too many people. In addition, various military advisors, military advisors, marching chiefs, chiefs, east and west Cao and various officials, Zhao Yan threw them in without any splash.

In terms of status, he is not as good as Xun Yu, the leader of the civil servants, and intimately, he is not as good as the king of Cao Cao's key cultivation target. If Zhao Yan is not given the opportunity to be promoted for a long time, he is attacked by Yunshan at the critical moment. In the future, he will be released to be a prefect or just be a nine minister in the court and end his career. He will definitely be far inferior to Chen Qun, Xun You and other fellow Yingchuan villagers.

Not long ago, he could still protect the Seventh Army, and Yu Jin and Zhang Liao had to obey his command. The gap was too big.

He stared at the sky blankly, and didn't know what to do for a moment. Sometimes he wanted to turn against Yunshan directly, sometimes he wanted to shake his tail and beg for mercy to talk to Yunshan, swaying, and was quite anxious.

At this moment, he saw Ma Liang walking hurriedly from not far away with his hands behind his back. Zhao Yan was shocked and suddenly jumped up suddenly, and rushed towards Ma Liang in two steps. He grabbed Ma Liang's wrist and said loudly:

"Ji Chang stays!"

Ma Liang was dragged and immediately looked angry.

"What do you want to do?"

This is Jingzhou. No matter what kind of celebrity you are in Yingchuan, Zhao Yan suppressed his unhappiness and said with a smile:

"Brother Ma's family is well-educated, and he also quite learned the "Yi Yi", "Mao Shi" and "Huainanzi". I wonder if I have any time to ask for advice?"

"What?" Ma Liang was stunned.

On the one hand, Cai Mao was able to be called the leader of the Jingzhou family because his family was indeed powerful, and on the other hand, because the Cai Mao family married a famous scholar in the Central Plains and he also went to Central Plains to study.

Although Ma Liang had also studied, he had never received the true teachings of great scholars. They were all wild ways to learn privately. It would be fine to read the text according to the script. It would be obvious that he would give lectures to Zhao Yan, one of the four scholars in Yingchuan.

But Ma Liang did not refuse. He touched his chin and showed a strange smile on his face.

"please."

Ma Liang has now resigned from his official position and is said to be back to farm.

But everyone knows that all the barbarians around Xiangyang have to obey Ma Liang's orders. People stand on the surface and have something to say and they can make up for it.

If you go into a secret place...

It's better not to transfer.

Ma Liang took Zhao Yan to a small boat by the river, asked the servants to get the table, wine and food, and pretended to get a chessboard. The two of them sat down. Zhao Yan grabbed a black chess and walked to Tianyuan in a leisurely manner, leaving Ma Liang unresponsive for a long time.

Is this the world of chess in the Central Plains?

He touched his head and responded casually, only to hear Zhao Yan say:

"Before, the epidemic in our army was really offended Tanzhi. This time, Tanzhi asked me to ask for 1,500 armor. I really can't produce so many. I would like to ask Ji Chang to say he is very grateful in the future."

Ma Liang snorted and said leisurely: "I have been waiting in Shiyang for a long time to rescue the soldiers. I don't know how many children died on the battlefield. Alas, these are all my elders in the village. If I casually say peace, how can I go to see their wife, children and elders?"

Zhao Yan cursed in his heart, but the expression on his face was quite gentle:

"Previously, the Prime Minister intended to act as a soldier in Jingzhou with Ji Chang. I will recommend it more in front of the Prime Minister."

There is a useless thing.

Ma Liang almost cursed and said absent-mindedly, "Ma is used to being idle. If you really want Ma to handle military affairs, I will have to delay major issues."

Zhao Yan heard that Ma Liang was pretending to be shirkable, so he simply said clearly:

"I wonder what Ji Chang wants?"

Ma Liang said seriously: "This time, I don't know how many men followed me to fight and died in the battlefield. They are all pillars of the family. If they are gone, their wives, children, and their children can't get rid of them with just a few kilograms of grain and rice.

Ma is going to sell his property and support them for the rest of his life, and reward them for saving Ma. If Mr. Zhao can give Ma a convenience, Ma will be grateful and will do his best to make peace."

"this……"

Of course, Zhao Yan understood what it means.

God knows how many people there are in the "family" of these Jingzhou soldiers. So many people need to eat and the court's pension. Don't you, Zhao Yan, have the ability in front of the prime minister?

If you have the ability, it depends on how capable you are.

If Ma Liang spoke loudly, Zhao Yan had no other choice but to turn against him.

"Ji Chang might as well make it clearer."

"If this is the case, it's not difficult for Mr. Zhao." Ma Liang smiled, "How about entrust these old and weak into the camp to provide for support?"

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

Ma Liang repeated it again, and Zhao Yan's face immediately covered with clouds.

"How many people do you want."

"Not much, ten thousand!"

What a big appetite.

This is to let Ma Liang lead his army 10,000.

The food and weapons supply for these ten thousand people were provided by the imperial court, and Jingzhou was the front line against Sun and Liu. Ma Liang could not walk even if he could eat an empty salary!

"One thousand!" Zhao Yan gritted his teeth.

"It's not difficult for Mr. Zhao. In this battle, our army lost more than 5,000 yuan. They are all good brothers from Jingzhou."

"Three, three thousand! Ji Chang, I beg you, five thousand is really not possible, I... Prime Minister Cao's eyes are as sharp as a torch..."

"Five thousand! I will divide the grain and rice of two thousand people into a small amount, how about it?"

"this……"

"I only want the two thousand people, and I don't have armor, what if I want?"

Zhao Yan bit his lip in pain.

He physically punished soldiers, massacred the people, and arrested women with husbands to pretend to be widows, but this was the first time he had such a large-scale corruption of military rations and weapons.

This is something that only inexperienced wealthy families like Li Dian do. The famous scholars in Yingchuan are all Cao Cao's supporters. How could they do such a business of poaching their own corners?

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, I actually understand you very much. Everyone wants to support a family, so it is natural to spend a lot of money. I heard that Mr. Zhao is always in the village and thinks that life will be quite poor.

Isn’t that the same for Mr. Ma! The world has been in chaos for so long, and I don’t know how long it will take to fight this battle. We…hehe, we all have to consider future generations.”

Zhao Yan clenched his fists tightly and kept trembling. Ma Liang whispered in a devilish voice: "This time Chen Qun surrendered to the enemy, Xun Gongda disappeared, and the Yingchuan soldiers still don't know what will happen to the future.

Mr. Zhao is well-off, so he naturally helps the people of Yingchuan. The people of Yingchuan are well-off, so he can naturally support the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is well-off, and the Han Dynasty is very lucky. The people are very lucky and the people are very lucky. It is also a blessing for Ma!"

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

He took a deep breath several times, and said in a trembling voice:

"Okay, that armor thing..."

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

"Ah?" The famous scholar Zhao Yan didn't react for a moment. The armor he had was still in the treasury.

"I gave it to you. Mr. Zhao must be a noble man who forgets too much. If there are too many things, just keep it yourself!"

Zhao Yan couldn't help but tremble all over. He wanted to refuse, but in the end he lowered his head and slowly pointed.

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