Chapter 538: A 6-year-old veteran guards the nation's borders, and the rebellious young Ma Su!
After Deng Zhi, there were Ma Liang, Fan Jian, Dong Jue, and others.
Without exception, they were all talented individuals from prominent families born in Jingzhou or Nanyang, and were the backbone of the Shu Han camp in history.
Before anyone knew it, almost all the talented people in Liu Bei's camp in Jingzhou had been lured away.
This round of talent from Jingzhou is very astute.
Instead of foolishly heading to Xuchang, they arrived at Yangping Pass.
If you go to Xuchang, you might accidentally enter a forbidden area and then never be able to get out.
The real bosses are Cao Sikong and Su Weiwei, who are temporarily stationed at Yangping Pass.
"My name is Deng Zhi. I greet you, Commandant of the Guards."
Deng Zhi's eyes lit up as she looked at Su Yu in front of her.
His eyes were filled with a longing to improve!
"No need to be polite."
“Bo Miao is a descendant of General Deng Yu and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.”
"I wonder what Bo Miao thinks of Liu Bei?"
Deng Zhi immediately said in a righteous and righteous tone:
"Liu Bei, with his clever words and flattering demeanor, falsely claims to be a member of the Han imperial family, but in reality, he is a traitor who is stirring up trouble in the world!"
"Lord Sikong's restoration of order and cleansing of the world is a true achievement that benefits the present and future generations!"
"Those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little help."
"The Commandant of the Imperial Guard, the Commander of the Imperial Guard (Jia Xu), the Military Advisor (Guo Jia), and the Commander of the Imperial Seals (Cheng Yu) are all role models for us."
“Especially you, Commandant of the Guards, my lifelong ambition is to learn from you.”
"Even if I could only acquire one or two tenths of your talent, I would die without regret!"
After saying this, Deng Zhi bowed deeply once again.
It's clear that he has a strong desire to learn and explore.
Su Yu has never hesitated to promote promising young people like Deng Zhi.
Therefore, Su Yu said to Deng Zhi:
"The separatist forces of Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Shi Xie, and others have lost their power."
"In two or three years at most, the world will be unified again."
"But the world is vast, not just the territory of Han."
"Would Bo Miao be willing to become an envoy of the Han Dynasty, to travel to foreign lands and subdue them?"
Deng Zhi's heart pounded with excitement.
It is well known that Tang envoys were very principled, but Han envoys were just as arrogant!
Not only do we eat and drink food from foreign countries, but we also have to be their ancestors!
Look how busy the Han envoys are.
Such a position is not suitable for the talented individuals in the Minister's Office, but only for those "selected by Su Yu".
"I will follow the orders of the Commandant of the Guards without question!"
"We are willing to go through fire and water!"
Deng Zhi's eyes were full of sincerity.
Without a doubt, if anyone dared to speak ill of Su Yu, Deng Zhi would rush out and fight that person to the death in a heartbeat!
Apart from Deng Zhi.
Fan Jian and Dong Jue also had a desire to improve, but not as strong as Deng Zhi.
Su Yu decided to send the two to local positions and observe them further.
If someone is not skilled enough in government affairs, then send them to the Ministry of Personnel to take a postgraduate entrance exam, get a doctorate, and further refine their skills.
Ma Liang was the last person to come in for an interview.
As his name suggests, Ma is one of the five constant virtues of the Ma family, with white eyebrows being the best.
Ma Liang's eyebrows were both white.
However, he didn't have a magic brush and couldn't transform into Ma Liang with his magic brush; otherwise, he would have been even more amazing.
Ma Liang also had a strong desire to improve, much like Deng Zhi.
But after interviewing Ma Liang, Su Yu suddenly remembered the other four of the five Ma brothers.
So he asked Ma Liang:
"Ji Chang, have your other three older brothers and one younger brother taken up official positions?" (Ma Liang was the fourth child in his family.)
Ma Liang cupped his hands and said:
"My eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are all avid readers, and they are obsessed with books."
Su Yu raised an eyebrow:
"If you have the ability, you should come out and do something practical for the country and the people. What kind of behavior is it to just stay at home reading books all the time?"
A look of shame appeared on Ma Liang's face:
"Your Excellency is absolutely right."
"I will write a letter immediately to persuade my three elder brothers."
Su Yu waved his hand:
“I do have a good place where your brother can have endless books to read every day and also get some practical things done.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Liang exclaimed excitedly:
"Please, sir, be sure to introduce my three elder brothers."
"If there is such a place to go, Ma Liang can rest assured!"
Su Yu nodded, thinking that he would make it up to Ma Liang in the future.
Ma Liang's three older brothers must have been the kind of bookish, reclusive men.
This is not okay.
Abilities need to be developed through practice; otherwise, they are just empty talk.
Coincidentally, there was a forbidden cultivation area inside Cao Cao's camp.
To date, that forbidden area has only received three anonymous negative reviews.
Everything else is positive!
The entire forbidden area presented a vibrant and thriving scene!
Of the five men surnamed Ma, one was kept by himself, while the other three were sent to the Minister of Works' residence.
In this way, Xun Yu would definitely have nothing to say.
Yes, Su Yu was very satisfied with this arrangement.
It can help both Ma Liang's three older brothers and Xun Yu, killing two birds with one stone!
Our Commandant Su is too kind and too helpful.
"Ji Chang, your three older brothers have new arrangements, what about your youngest brother?"
"Is there any intention to send him to the Ministry of Personnel... no, is there any plan to enter officialdom?"
Besides Ma Liang, Su Yu was most concerned about Ma Su.
Ma Liang shook his head guiltily, gritted his teeth, and answered truthfully:
“My younger brother…my younger brother ran away from home a few days ago and went to Shu…”
"is it?"
"This young man seems to have his own ideas."
Su Yu said meaningfully.
Ma Liang quickly apologized.
Su Yu didn't blame him; she just lamented Ma Su's self-serving actions.
Actually, Ma Su had just completed his coming-of-age ceremony and was still a young boy, full of vigor and ambition, so it was normal for him to be a bit impetuous.
Historically, Ma Su was groomed by Zhuge Liang to be his successor.
Ma Su was exactly nine years younger than Zhuge Liang, and was in good health, making him very suitable to succeed Zhuge Liang.
In terms of military achievements, Ma Su was shrewd and made significant contributions during the Southern Rebellion.
Apart from Liu Bei, who had already passed away, almost everyone in Shu Han at the time believed that Ma Su would definitely achieve great things in the future.
But no one expected that Ma Su would be brutally beaten by a 60-year-old veteran of Cao Wei at Jieting!
As the saying goes, a 60-year-old veteran guards the nation's gate; if your water supply is cut off, you cannot escape!
Our Brother He, in the late Han Dynasty, might not have been the most outstanding, and in terms of battle achievements, he couldn't compare to Zhang Babai and others.
However, if we consider the Three Kingdoms period, it would be an absolutely extraordinary existence.
Ma Su adopted a do-or-die stance in front of He Zige, like a three-year-old child challenging a giant.
Apart from Wang Ping's troops, the rest of the Jieting Legion were almost completely wiped out.
Ma Su was also punished for his crimes and lost his status as Zhuge Liang's successor.
Now, Su Yu never expected that Ma Su, this rebellious young man, would go to Shu alone.
If there is an opportunity in the future, Su Yu will have He Zi teach Ma Su a lesson and then send him to Xun Yu for further study.
Presumably, Ma Su will become a well-rounded talent, no longer just a theorist.
The Ministry of Personnel offers invaluable opportunities for practical experience that outsiders wouldn't even dare to dream of!
