Chapter 973: Recruiting the Ma Clan

In the spring of March, Lumen Mountain is already green. ()

The plants and trees in the mountains have sprouted, and the animals are scurrying around. This is a good season to invite three or five friends to visit in spring, but few people come to Lumen Mountain to play.

Most of the tourists go directly to Da Hyeon, which is opposite Lumen Mountain.

Lumen Mountain is picturesque, but no one comes.

The reason is that because of Pang Degong and Sima Hui, no one cares about Lumen Mountain.

However, Wang Can is also happy to be clean and undisturbed.

On this day, a middle-aged man in a brown and black robe walked into Lumen Mountain and walked towards the mountain forest. This person is not very old, about early thirties, still in the prime of life, but his back has been slightly rickety, and his expression is haggard, and his temples have a faint color of wind and frost, and he is declining before he is old, and he looks heavy in vicissitudes.

This person is none other than Ma Yong, the patriarch of the Ma clan.

When he was at home, he suddenly received news that someone invited him to Lumen Mountain for an appointment.

Ma Yong couldn't think of it, after all, the sneaky message couldn't tell what the situation was. But in the end, Ma Yong still chose to come to Lumen Mountain for an appointment, and his curiosity overcame the inappropriateness in his heart. Although Ma Liang and others are smart and agile, the situation of the Ma family is getting worse and worse.

One more friend, one more way to live.

Therefore, Ma Yong came.

Ma Yong entered Lumen Mountain to see who was looking for him.

He walked a little way into the mountains and forests, but still found nothing. At this time, Shi Ah suddenly appeared and took Ma Yong to the side of the grass house. Shi A took off the black cloth that Ma Yong was covering Ma Yong's eyes, and arched his hand and said, "Patriarch Ma, I have offended a lot, please forgive me." My adults are waiting in the grass house, please come in. ”

Ma Yong walked so far on the mountain road, and his body was a little unbearable.

He stood still for a few moments, waiting for his mind to calm down before striding into it.

Wang Can was wearing a thick linen robe and a ghost mask on his face, and he couldn't tell who it was.

Seeing Ma Yong walk in, Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Patriarch Ma, please take a seat." You have doubts in your heart, and then we will slowly talk about it, and we will definitely relieve the doubts in your heart. ”

After Ma Yong sat down, he asked loudly, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

Wang Can smiled and said, "I'm just the one who helped you revive the Ma family, are you satisfied?" ”

After hearing this, Ma Yong's brows furrowed.

The Ma family is in a difficult situation, but the momentum is still there, and the skeleton is still there. Although it is in decline, all five of his sons are very good and sensible, and all five of them have already made a name for themselves. Even if it is more difficult now, as long as he persists in the past, the Ma family will definitely be able to prosper again, instead of relying on external help.

Ma Yong immediately stood up and said coldly: "Nothing to offer, either a traitor or a thief, farewell!" ”

He was very resolute and did not hesitate without any hesitation.

Wang Can saw that Ma Yong was so strong and didn't contact him at all, and he chuckled in his heart. This patriarch of the Ma family is not easy to deal with, especially such a pretentious person, it is even more difficult to deal with. Wang Can said loudly: "Patriarch Ma, if you don't think about yourself and your family, don't you think about the future of your heirs?" ”

After Ma Yong heard this, he suddenly stopped.

He turned around, snorted, and said, "You don't even dare to show your face, what can you do?" ”

Wang Can laughed and said, "I don't show up to protect Patriarch Ma." If the Ma patriarch sees the appearance below, not only the Ma patriarch himself, but also the Ma family is in danger, it is better not to see it. ”

Ma Yong shouted: "Little man! ”

Wang Can chuckled lightly and said, "Whether it is a small person or not, as long as I can help you revitalize the Ma family, and let your five sons worship famous teachers, it is enough!" ”

After hearing this, Ma Yong hesitated for a while, and then returned to sit down.

He asked again, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

The tone was stiff, still not the slightest change, as if it were an old antique.

Wang Can thought about it and decided to reveal a little tone, otherwise it would be difficult to stabilize Ma Yong. He said in a deep voice: "I am a person from Shu who stayed in Jingzhou, and the Ma patriarch knows it now." ”

"Ahh

At this moment, Ma Yong was stunned, and his expression was stunned.

After a long time, Ma Yong recovered from the shock and asked, "Since you are from Shu, why did you come to Xiangyang, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the King of Chu?" ”

Suddenly, Wang Can felt that he understood the reason for the decline of the Ma family.

The person in front of him is simply a nerd, who can only read, but is not suitable for doing things.

The words have come to this point, and Ma Yong is still talking this nonsense.

Such a person has become the patriarch of the Ma family, and Wang Can feels that it is really the sorrow of the Ma family. Compared with Huang Chengyan, Kuai Yue, Pang Degong and others, Ma Yong is like a three-year-old child, and it is not worth mentioning at all. Fortunately, Ma Yong's five sons are high-quality potential stocks, and they will definitely be able to support the Ma family in the future, otherwise the Ma family will definitely lose.

Wang Can opened his mouth and said: "Patriarch Ma, I'll just say it directly, the King of Shu wants the Ma family to be obedient, are you willing?" ”

Ma Yong shook his head again and again in denial, and said, "No, no, this is very dangerous." Once discovered by the King of Chu, my Ma family will face annihilation. ”

Timid! The brain is not flexible! The city is shallow!

Wang Can felt that this was all Ma Yong's shortcomings, but such a person was sincere.

This point happens to be Wang Can's favorite.

Dealing with such people doesn't take too much thought.

The corners of Wang Can's mouth hooked up a smile and said, "Patriarch Ma, your worries are completely unnecessary. What the King of Shu needs is not for you to get in the way, nor does he need you to send his family to attack the Chu army, nor does he need you to bring people to deceive and open the city gate. After the Shu army breaks through the city, your Ma family can take the lead in returning to the Shu army, and assist the Shu army in stabilizing the situation and appeasing the people's hearts, which is enough. Of course, if there is a civil strife in the city, you can also do other things to help the king of Shu if you have the guts, depending on your personal situation. ”

After hearing this, Ma Yong felt that this was completely pie in the sky.

After the city slope, Liu Biao had already been defeated.

At that time, he was the first to submit, and it was reasonable that there would be no danger.

As for other things, Ma Yong didn't pay attention to it.

Ma Yong immediately nodded and said: "Okay, as long as the Shu army breaks the city, my Ma family is willing to be the first to submit to the Shu army, and assist the Shu army to stabilize law and order and pacify the people." ”

After a pause, Ma Yong asked again: "You said that I want my son to worship a famous teacher, can this matter be counted?" ”

This matter is what Ma Yong is most concerned about.

He can be downcast and decadent, but as long as his son has a good future, the Ma family will definitely prosper again.

Wang Can nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Ma, don't worry, your five sons are originally talented and beautiful, and after being carved by a famous teacher, they will definitely shine." After the Shu army takes Xiangyang, I will arrange for your five sons to go to Chengdu to worship Sima Hui and Pang Degong and others as teachers, what do you think? ”

Ma Yong's brows furrowed and he asked, "Do you have to take Xiangyang?" ”

Wang Can said: "If the Ma patriarch is in a hurry, you can send them to Chengdu, and I will communicate with the people in Chengdu, arrange for them to enroll in school, and study with Pang Degong and others." ”

Ma Yong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it when Xiangyang is broken." ”

Wang Can stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paper from the side, on which was written about the Ma family's return to the Shu army. Wang Can handed it to Ma Yong and said, "Patriarch Ma, sign it, press the handprint, and this matter will be done." ”

As long as the handprint is pressed, Ma Yong and Shu will be tainted with a relationship and labeled as Shu.

Ma Yong hesitated for a moment, picked up the brush to sign his name, and pressed the handprint.

Immediately, Ma Yong arched his hand and said: "The matter has been completed, Yong has taken his leave." With your means, it is easy to send a message to me, if there is something, you can send it to me, and Yong will do his best. ”

Wang Can clapped his palms and shouted, "Send off guests!" ”

Shi A immediately walked in, and then sent Ma Yong down Lumen Mountain. After Shi Ah returned, he asked, "Lord, which one will you recruit next?" Is it the Xi family or the other two? ”

Wang Can said: "From easy to difficult, notify the Xi family first." But don't worry, let's talk about it every few days, otherwise people often come to Lumen Mountain to wander, and it is easy to be noticed. ”

"No!"

Shi Ah nodded in agreement, then turned to leave.
