Outside Jiangling City, in a remote place, there is a courtyard.
This courtyard is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
It can be said that it has an extremely scholarly style.
At this time, Liu Bei led his subordinate Zhao Yun to the outside of the courtyard with a somewhat calm tone, and then silently looked at the beautiful surroundings of the courtyard.
"This is the place where literati should live."
At this time, Liu Bei silently looked at the silent environment around him, and said to Zhao Yun beside him with some emotion.
Zhao Yun listened to what Liu Bei said, and nodded to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun's nodding, with a smile on his lips, silently walked to the door of the courtyard, and knocked gently on the door of the courtyard.
Along with the knocks on the door, Liu Bei heard hurried footsteps from the door, and he suddenly looked a little excited, because he would soon meet the rumored talented man of the Ma family.
The door of the courtyard slowly opened, and a young man stuck out his head from the courtyard, his eyes silently looking at Liu Bei and Zhao Yun behind Liu Bei.
He said to Liu Bei in a calm tone: "Your Excellency is General Liu Zuo."
Liu Bei was just about to introduce himself when he was suddenly interrupted by what the young man said.
He looked at Liu Bei, a young man with an indifferent smile and an elegant face in front of him, with a smile on his lips, and then said to the young man in a kind tone: "I'm just doing this.
It’s Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, I don’t know where the little brother found out my identity.”
"What's the problem?
The clothes the general wears are both rich and noble, he is followed by fierce generals, and his temperament has the aura of a superior.
Now in Jiangling, except for General Liu Xuande of the left, who else has such magnanimity?"
The young man looked at Liu Bei with a puzzled look on his face, looked at Liu Bei indifferently, then laughed, and then said to Liu Bei in a gentle tone.
"I didn't expect you to be so observant.
I don't know your little brother's surname."
At this time, Liu Bei looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his lips.
Then he looked at the young man in front of him calmly and asked in a puzzled tone. road.
"I'm dismounting from Ma Su, Ma Youchang."
Liu Bei seemed to be asking the question himself.
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he introduced himself to Liu Bei in a proud tone.
Liu Bei looked at Ma Su's triumphant look in front of him and frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
However, now that he was officially visiting Ma Liang, Liu Bei could only suppress his unhappiness and spoke kindly to the man with a smile in front of him.
Ma Su asked: "I don't know who Mr.
Ma Liang is to you."
"It's my brother.
There are five brothers in the family.
The general mentioned is my fourth brother.
I am the youngest among the five brothers."
After listening to what Liu Bei said, Ma Di looked at Liu Bei calmly. , replied to Liu Bei in a soft tone.
"I don't know if Mr.
Ma Liang is in the yard now."
At this time, Liu Bei heard that the young man in front of him was Ma Liang's younger brother.
He thought about it and Zhuge Liang said that Ma's Wuchang has the best white eyebrows.
If the young man in front of him is so smart, then Ma Liang will be poor.
Where to go, so he asked Ma Su in front of him with a somewhat excited tone.
After listening to what Liu Bei said, Ma Di saw that Liu Bei wanted to visit his brother, so he said to Liu Bei in a calm tone: "My brother is studying in the courtyard.
Please come with me, general."
After listening to what Ma Su said in front of him, Liu Bei, with Zhao Yun behind him, slowly followed Ma Su towards the yard.
Liu Bei followed Ma Su to the room near the bamboo forest.
Looking at the bamboo forest in front of him, Liu Bei knew that the owner of this room must have extraordinary taste and talent.

When I came to the house through the bamboo forest, I saw that the door was wide open, and a scholar in the house was reading books calmly.
His face was relatively plain, and there was a kind smile on the corner of his mouth.
The most prominent thing was his white eyebrows.
At this time, Liu Bei looked at the white eyebrows of the scholar in front of him, and immediately recognized the scholar's identity.
This scholar was Ma Liang, the most powerful among the Ma family.
"Brother Su, we have a guest."
At this time, Ma Liang heard the noise and silently put down the book in his hand.
Then he watched Ma Su bring Liu Bei and Zhao Yun to the door of his room, and said to him calmly.
He asked, looking at his younger brother.
"Fourth brother, we have a guest.
This is the current left general Liu Bei and Liu Xuande."
After listening to his brother's question, Ma Di quickly introduced his profound Liu Bei to his brother.
After hearing what his brother said, Ma Liang looked at Liu Bei behind him with a surprised expression.
He quickly saluted Liu Bei and said to Liu Bei in a sincere tone: "Ma Liang, the villager in the lower mountain, met General Zuo.
I hope the general will forgive me for the poor hospitality."
Liu Bei looked at Ma Liang in front of him with such a humble look, and suddenly said to Ma Liang in front of him in a soft tone: "I have heard of your name for a long time, and now I come here specifically to visit.
I hope that you will forgive me for not sending a greeting card."
"It's okay to stay in this shabby place.
General, please feel free to sit down."
After listening to what Liu Bei said, Ma Liang looked at the faint smile on Liu Bei's face, looked at Liu Bei carefully, and said to Liu Bei in a soft tone.
After hearing what Ma Liang said, Liu Bei nodded, then found the seat opposite Ma Liang and sat down.
Zhao Yun behind him watched Liu Bei sit down and stood silently behind Liu Bei, guarding Liu Bei's safety.
"You Chang are still standing here, why don't you prepare tea quickly."
Ma Liang looked at Ma Su who was standing aside, and reminded Ma Su in a calm tone.
Ma Di only reacted after listening to his brother's reminder, and quickly went down to prepare tea.
Soon Ma Di prepared the tea and placed it in front of Liu Bei.
"I wonder what happened when the general came to visit today?"
Ma Liang looked at Liu Bei tasting the tea.
When Liu Bei finished drinking the tea, he asked Liu Bei in a soft tone.
Liu Bei put down his tea cup with a calm expression, and looked across at Ma Liang, who had a soft face.
He said to Ma Liang in a gentle tone: "Mr.
Jiuwen is very talented.
I want him to become an official and help me."
Ma Liang listened to what Liu Bei said at this time.
In fact, he had already understood Liu Bei's purpose.
Now he heard that Liu Bei was trying to recruit him, so he nodded silently and saluted Liu Bei with a kind tone.
Liu Bei said: "Now that General Zuo is here in person, do you still have room to refuse?
General, don't worry, I will follow the general to the general's residence later."
"That's great.
I have my husband to help me, and I feel like a fish in water."
When Liu Bei heard that Ma Liang agreed to his request without any hesitation, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he said to Ma Liang in a somewhat excited tone.
"Brother!"
Ma Su on the side heard that his brother had agreed to Liu Bei so quickly.
He looked at his brother with a surprised expression and whispered to Ma Liang in a heavy tone.
"Liu Shijun, my younger brother, is now considered successful in his studies.

If you don't mind it, can you provide my younger brother with a position?"
Ma Liang heard his brother's voice next to him and saw that his brother looked a little heavy.
He looked at himself, with a smile on his lips, and said to Liu Bei in a soft tone.
"It's very good.
With the help of you two brothers, there's no need to worry about the big thing failing."
After hearing what Ma Liang said, Liu Bei looked at Ma Di, who looked reluctant, with a smile on his lips, and said to Ma Liang in a kind tone.
Ma Su listened to what his brother said, looked at his brother staring at him with a serious look, and silently lowered his head and stopped talking.
"I heard that Sir knows a lot about Jingzhou.
Now I want to seize the land of Jingnan.
How should I capture it?"
At this time, Liu Bei looked at Ma Liang with a somewhat calm look, touched his beard, and asked Ma Liang in a gentle tone. road.
Ma Liang looked at Liu Bei's expectant eyes, touched his beard, and then replied to Liu Bei in a soft tone: "Jingnan has four counties: Changsha, Wuling, Guiyang and Lingling.
Among them, Changsha is the strongest.
The troops are also the strongest, so we cannot attack first.
We should attack Wuling first, then Guiyang and Lingling counties, and finally attack Changsha. " "Sir's words were like thunder, which made me enlightened.
Now my thinking suddenly becomes clearer.
You are really talented, sir."
After hearing what Ma Liang said in front of him, Liu Bei suddenly became happy, and then he praised Ma Liang with some emotion
