When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 661 Ma Liang: Basic Operations, Don’t Be a Stupid Person
Changan
Liu Xie was very regretful.

After the blunder during his visit to Lantian County, Liu Xie boasted to Liu Bei, "Uncle, I will be diligent in government affairs after returning to the palace, and will never let this absurdity happen again. Please supervise me, uncle!"

At the beginning, Liu Xie was able to concentrate fully, carefully reading memorials from various places and giving his replies.

But after a long time, Liu Xie felt bored and uninteresting. Even when he closed his eyes, all he dreamed about were memorials to the emperor.

He had had enough.
Liu Xie, with a bitter face, glanced at Liu Bei who was standing beside him with a serious face. He always felt that as soon as he left the stall, Liu Bei's shoes would attack him from behind.

Just thinking about it, Liu Xie felt his buttocks start to hurt again.

Ugh.

You have to fulfill the promise you made no matter what.

Liu Xie thought bitterly.

He picked up the memorial in front of him listlessly. He thought it was about some emergency, some funding request, some achievement, or some boasting that he was the Holy King.
However, what was described in this memorial was beyond Liu Xie's imagination, so much so that he exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?!"

"Uncle, come and take a look."

In response to Liu Xie's greeting, Liu Bei took a closer look, and after just one glance he could not take his eyes away.

What did he see?
The memorial said that Sun Quan, the Gongcao of Kuaiji County, and Lü Meng, the Duwei of Kuaiji County, were trying to save a drowning fisherman when they encountered a rainstorm and drifted to an island. The island was very large and was temporarily named Yi Island. The island was in the southeast of the sea, 2,000 miles away from the county. There was no snow or frost, and the grass and trees were not withered or flourishing. There were mountains on all sides, and there were mountain people living there.

All the mountain people have shaved heads and pierced ears, but women do not have their ears pierced. They build houses and plant thorns as fences. The land is fertile and can produce grains, fish and other meat.

Southeast of the sea? Two thousand miles away from Kuaiji County?
It sounds so familiar.

Wait a minute, isn’t this the Yizhou mentioned in the fairyland?

Liu Bei was a little dazed. If he remembered correctly, according to the history of Xianxiang, it was the Eastern Wu who discovered Yizhou, right?
Unexpectedly, it was Eastern Wu again this time, but it was Sun Quan and Lu Meng who became it.

"Uncle, uncle, this island is great. The land is fertile and can produce grains, fish and meat. We must take it!"

Liu Xie's voice brought Liu Bei back to the present. Liu Bei nodded, "Yes, we must get Yi Island. Your Majesty, why don't you summon the left and right chancellors to discuss this matter together."

"Ah?" Liu Xie was stunned. He called Liu Bei because he thought the island was interesting. He didn't expect Liu Bei to attach so much importance to this matter. It was just an island. Was it necessary to summon the left and right chancellors and the chancellor?

Maybe it's the fertile land?

That's it.

Why bother with so much?
The emperor's uncle must think longer-term than I do. He has to deal with state affairs with my two uncles and Prime Minister Jia. I am so happy that I don't have time to think so much. Why should I think so much?
Liu Xie ordered the summons of Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng.

Liu Xie ordered his men to read the memorial to Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng. After reading it, Liu Xie asked, "What do you think, Prime Ministers?"

Jia Xu did not speak first, but paid attention to the expressions of Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng.

He thought: As I expected, neither Kong Ming nor Xiao Zhi were surprised. This island must have appeared in the records of the fairyland. It is not just that it has appeared. Maybe in the near future, this island will be taken into the possession of China.

Fa Zheng suggested: "Your Majesty, King Yan, the Han Dynasty must take this island. In my opinion, the mountain people on the island still live a primitive life. It is not difficult to recapture the island. I can recapture this island without a large army attack." "Oh? Shangshu Ling, may I ask what method?" Liu Xie became interested. You know, occupying the Wo Island was not so smooth. Gan Ning also commanded a large army to fight, and some people even got a lieutenant with military merits. This lieutenant seemed to be called Lü Lü or something? Lü Lü Meng? Yes, it was Lü Meng from Kuaiji County!

Fa Zheng smiled and said, "This method does not lie with me, but with the officials under the Crown Prince."

"An official of the prince?"

"That's right." Fa Zheng looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile, "Let Prime Minister Zhuge reveal the answer to Your Majesty."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Fa Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, this man is none other than Ma Liang, the prince's chief of guards."

"Ma Liang, okay, then let's appoint Ma Liang as the angel and give him full responsibility for the recovery of Yi Island!" Without even a second thought, Liu Xie immediately ordered Jia Xu to draft an edict.

Afterwards, everyone discussed who would govern Yi Island after its recovery, and finally decided on Zong Yu as the prefect, Sun Quan as the chancellor, and Lu Meng as the lieutenant.

Although Fa Zheng said there was no need for a large-scale attack, everyone decided to prepare for both scenarios.

Two naval schools were dispatched, and Sun Ce's troops and Zhou Yu's troops were dispatched to escort Ma Liang, Zong Yu and Sun Quan.

Of course, the new steam ships could not be forgotten, and Liu Xie generously allocated two of them.

"I am the second lieutenant of the Second Marine Division of the Steamship Division."

Sun Quan was still a little dazed while riding on the steamship. He said to himself, "In less than a month, I... I have been promoted to county magistrate?"

"I would like to congratulate Sun Juncheng!" Lu Meng clasped his fists and congratulated him. "If Sun Juncheng had not said that he must rescue the fishermen last time, we would not have discovered Yi Island. This is all Sun Juncheng's credit. Sun Juncheng is really amazing. I admire him."

"No." Sun Quan shook his head. "I just did what a soldier stationed in India should do."

Lu Meng's eyes lit up, and he took out a pen and paper and started writing quickly.

During the time they spent together, Sun Quan could guess what Lu Meng was writing, which was nothing more than "Is this modesty? I have learned something, so I will write it down."

After writing, he would say, "One word from you is worth ten years of reading!"

Lu Meng put away his pen and paper and sighed, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"

"Oh, right." Lu Meng suddenly mentioned something, "Prime Minister Sun, do you know the angel that came this time? I heard that this time they are not conquering by force? Is this angel really that powerful? I have fought several battles on the Japanese island."

"It's different. The Japanese island is too far away, while the Ibara island is close."

"is it?"

Seeing that Lu Meng was still a little unconvinced, Sun Quan didn't say much, but just said, "Just wait and see."

After successfully arriving at Yi Island, Lu Meng kept his eyes on Ma Liang, almost inseparable from him. Under his gaze, Ma Liang put on gorgeous clothes and communicated with the islanders. They spoke strange words that he couldn't understand, and these islanders really bowed down to him?

Lu Meng was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. Ma Liang's behavior was beyond his imagination. How did he do that? ? ?
If Ma Liang knew what Lu Meng was thinking, he would definitely smile. What he said was very simple, and it could be condensed into a few words: I can ensure that you have enough food and warm clothing.
