After Ma Liangfa left the memorial, there was no need to stay. He returned to Majiahe with Ma Su that day and quickly finished his brother's funeral.

The Ma brothers come back to Dingyou, not seeking fame.

Their brothers all proposed Ding You together, just to calm down, reflect on it, and review the gains and losses of their past few years of officialdom.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two brothers of the Ma family, which are infinitely charming, are actually like people drinking water, knowing their own warmth and coldness.

Both brothers have encountered the biggest troubles in recent years and have to borrow Dingyou to avoid them for the time being.

The two of them put aside the world and built a house to study, as if they were back to their childhood.

Although I still read those books and the same articles, I have different understandings and gained something because of my different moods and experiences.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

The war in Jingzhou was in full swing, and different rumors often came. Generally speaking, Guan Yu was at the top and made Cao Ren unable to fight back.

Jingzhou is a place where Ma Liang carefully manages. Although he has left, he still can't let go of the affairs of Jingzhou.

Fortunately, Ma Shuchang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many caravans coming and going, and each caravan has to come back to report, and the information is very well-informed.

Ma Liang asked the men about the progress of the war in Guan Yu. Those caravan leaders who were used to being in the world were recognized by Ma Shuchang and were very rigorous in business.

But in terms of collecting intelligence, he is very amateur, just heard from others and does not spend any effort to verify it.

Therefore, when they provide information to Ma Liang, they mostly use processed and polished jokes, which are very attractive. They often make Ma Liang shocked and make Ma Su feel very funny.

After all, Ma Su had the knowledge of the dream world. He now completely believed that he did have the ability to be foresighted, although it was not accurate.

But Ma Su understood that he did not have the ability to change history at will, and he firmly believed that Guan Yu would "go to Maicheng" would definitely happen.

Therefore, he did not care about the progress of the war. Instead, he often whispered with Uncle Ma, discussing the Ma family's way out and re-arranged the Ma family's industry.

In fact, until now, Ma Su has not made up his mind.

Because of his in-laws with Shamoko, the military power he now possesses is not weak.

After Jingnan was successfully attacked by Lu Meng, the Xiang River demarcated the boundary and redefine the border. Guan Yu also learned his lesson and adjusted the generals guarding several counties.

The four generals of Zhong Yue, Fu Li, Zhang Zhuang and Yang Kui brought back from Guanzhong were replaced by Guan Yu to Wuling for garrison because of their close relationship with Cao Cao, mainly to prevent the Wuxi barbarians from causing chaos.

As for Gong Li and Tian Shi, because they have been stationed in Wuling for many years, they are loyal to their duties and have strong military strength in their training, Lu Meng is also very afraid.

Therefore, when Lu Meng attacked Jingnan, only Wuling County was able to protect it.

In addition, He Yun, Fang Shan, who sent back to Wuximan to assist Shamoke in training troops, and Xing Daorong who had been following him, that is to say, Ma Su's confidant generals have all been concentrated in Wuling and Lingling counties.

Ma Su had already used tens of thousands of people, and among them there were tens of thousands of elite troops. He could completely set his sights and compete with Sun Quan in Jingnan.

Since he already knew that Guan Yu would be defeated, Ma Su was not very ambitious and did not have the ambition to compete for the world. What he cares most about was the safety of his family.

After discussing with Uncle Ma, he decided to move all the important personnel of the Ma family to Chengdu and Mianzhu.

As the saying goes, "Three years of Qing magistrate, there were 100,000 silver silver."

Although Ma Su did not take office as prefect, he served as county magistrates in Mianzhu and Chengdu, and was in a special stage of "changing flags". Many families who were afraid of being liquidated by Liu Bei had the idea of ​​"dissolving money and avoiding disasters".

According to the custom of reciprocity, if Ma Su does not accept other people's heavy gifts, it is not as simple as looking down on others. It is a signal that they will be liquidated, and it will be uneasy, which will lead to unpredictable changes.

Therefore, Ma Su had to follow the crowd and accept gifts from some aristocratic families.

Although Ma Su was honest and could not ignore the worldly affairs, he received a large number of farms, and it was more than enough to accommodate the important tribes of the Ma family.

Although Ma Liang was worried that Guan Yu would fail in the Northern Expedition, he still disagreed with Ma Su's arrangements and never participated.

But when Ma Su sent all his wife and children to Shajiazhai and proposed to send Ma Liang's wife and children to Chengdu, Ma Liang did not want to stay away from his hometown and could no longer help it. He stood up to stop him and asked Ma Su:

"Youchang, do you think Guan Yu will definitely fail?"

Ma Su glanced at Ma Liang and said with a smile:

"Brother, you are too unconfident. You have submitted a memorial to your lord. You think that Guan Yu's Northern Expedition is in danger. Now I will do things according to your speculation, so you are not confident?"

Ma Liang was very clear about the situation of Guan Yu's army. He prepared all the military supplies and supplies by himself. After considering it, he knew that there was not much food and supplies left by Guan Yu, so he said to Ma Su:

"I am not sure about victory, but I am thinking about defeat first. General Guan is a master of martial arts and marching and fighting. Cao Cao sent Yu Jin and Pang De to rescue him. I don't think General Guan would be defeated by Yu Jin. But in recent days, the autumn rain has been continuous and he cannot fight, so he can only continue to waste it. General Guan had to withdraw his troops because of insufficient food and supplies. He is likely to be defeated without fighting. Alas! Jingzhou's foundation is still too thin, and he can't afford a big battle!"

Ma Liang did not want to send his family to Chengdu, and Ma Su could not force each other. Seeing him talking about the war between Guan Yu and Yu Jin, he couldn't help but have a plan.

Of course he knew about the incident of Guan Yu flooding the Seventh Army, but he couldn't get the time. Seeing that the heavy rain continued to rain these days, he thought that Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, and probably just a few days later, he said to Ma Liang:

"Brother, you don't want your family to go to Chengdu, so you naturally can't trust my judgment. Why don't we make a bet? Do you think General Guan Yu will retreat because of poor food and grass, and I conclude that Guan Yu will definitely defeat Yu Jin. If Guan Yu defeats Yu Jin, then you will let your sister-in-law and nephew go to Chengdu immediately, okay?"

Although Ma Liang suffered unfair treatment from Guan Yu, he especially hoped that Guan Yu could win. Moreover, no matter whether Guan Yu wins or loses, he would not be able to stay in Jingzhou in the future. He sent his wife and children to Chengdu in advance, so he blurted out:

"If Guan Yu wins, then you have to arrange it!"

In the following days, it was raining, and the two of them were reading and chatting, waiting for news.

After finally waiting for the weather to clear up, Ma Liang was even more anxious than Ma Su, so he wanted to send someone to Fancheng to find out the news. Suddenly someone came to report that General Guan Yu asked Mr. Ma Liang to meet in the army.

Although Ma Liang was a little resentful towards Guan Yu, he had been with him for several years and Guan Yu sent someone to invite him, so he couldn't refuse, so he greeted his family and followed the envoy.
