"My lord, don't you want to subdue the two of them? Isn't today a good opportunity?"

Liu Xuan replied:

"Yeah, I really want to subdue these two brothers, but they got hit this time, misjudged the person, and recognized Liu Bei as the eldest brother. Now they were bitten by snakes once, and they are afraid of well ropes for ten years. I think They are preparing to learn more about us in Liaodong, so they are probably willing to surrender."

Yue Yun scratched his head, said nothing, and followed Liu Xuan back home.

Early the next morning, Liu Xuan called Liu Bowen and Ma Teng. Liu Xuan said to Liu Bowen:

"Bowen, prepare some new crop seeds for General Ma to bring back to Liaodong, as well as cotton seeds, so that the people of Xiliang can live a life without worrying about food and clothing. Since they are already a family, they must be treated equally. "

Liu Bowen nodded and said to Liu Xuan:

"Don't worry, my lord. I already knew that you would make such an arrangement. I have already ordered people to prepare it, and I also brought some coal stoves to General Ma. He asked General Ma to go back and find craftsmen to make them according to the model."

Liu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and Liu Bowen can handle everything properly.

At this time, after Ma Teng heard the conversation between the two, his face was full of gratitude, and Ma Teng said to Liu Xuan:

"Ma Teng is here to thank the lord on behalf of the people of Xiliang. With these things that the lord brought, I think that after one year in Xiliang, no people will go hungry anymore."

During Ma Teng's two days in Liaodong, he also tasted new crops, sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, and also saw cotton in Liaodong. The quilt made of those cottons was not only soft but also comfortable to cover his body when he slept at night. Very warm.

There is also something called a coal stove, which is lit in the room, and the room is like summer.

Liu Xuan opened his mouth and said to Ma Teng:

"General Ma, after you return to Xiliang this time, distribute these food seeds. I will ask Zilong to leave some soldiers behind to teach Xiliang people how to plant and eat them. You also have to participate in it personally." , Only when you understand it can you do your best.”

"What the lord said is very true, the subordinate understands."

Ma Teng quickly responded to Liu Xuan's words.

At this time, Ma Teng was very happy in his heart, thankful that he had surrendered to his lord, what is the purpose of life?

It's not all for food and clothing, and my Ma family is in charge of a city alone, so I should be satisfied.

Liu Xuan waved his hands to the two of them, telling them to get busy.

Ma Teng and Liu Bowen didn't stay any longer, they said goodbye to Liu Xuan, and then left.

After Ma Teng returned to the inn, Han Sui and Ma Chao, who had been waiting, hurried forward to Ma Teng and asked:

"Father, my lord called you over today, what can I order?"

Ma Teng saw that his brother and his son seemed to be waiting for him, so he answered:

"My lord called me this time to discuss the future development of Xiliang. My lord asked Mr. Liu to help us prepare some sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and cotton seeds. Let us take them back to Xiliang."

After hearing this, Ma Chao was overjoyed, and said involuntarily:

"My lord is really thinking about the people all the time. With sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and cotton, the people of Xiliang will never go hungry or cold again. This is something worth celebrating. "

After hearing what the two father and son said, Han Sui also said from the side:

"It seems that this time we joined the lord, it is the most correct decision we have made in this life. After just a few days of contact with the lord, I can feel an emperor's air from the lord, with a broad heart and a heart for the people. With such a lord, who wouldn't want to follow him wholeheartedly!"

Hearing what his brother said, Ma Teng nodded in agreement and said with a smile:

"Yes! Being appointed under such a lord is simply a great joy in life. I have never been so relaxed and happy."

Hearing that his son said that he wanted to celebrate, he also felt that this matter should be celebrated, so the three of them went downstairs together.

As soon as the three of them arrived downstairs, they ran into brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who had just returned from their trip. When Ma Chao saw them, he laughed loudly and said to the two brothers who came in:

"Two brothers, are you going out? We are just coming down to have a drink, why don't you come with us?"

Because of Liu Xuan last time, Ma Chao and Zhang Fei had already turned their hostility into friendship. At the banquet, the two chatted. Heroes cherish heroes.

As soon as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered the door, they saw the three of them walking down the stairs together. When the two brothers heard that the three of them wanted to drink, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore. How could Zhang Fei refuse when there was wine? He looked at Guan Yu.

At this time, Guan Yu also looked at the three of them with a smile on his face. Guan Yu was full of arrogance all his life, and there were not many people who could make him pass the exam. Ma Chao was in the team that Guan Yu looked up to.

The last time Liu Xuan hosted a banquet and several people had wine, Guan Yu's perception of Ma Chao had changed. He knew that Ma Chao was not weaker than his third brother in force, and he was bold. It is easy to chat with them.

Guan Yu is more aware of his third younger brother's temperament, and whoever has the same temperament can chat with him very quickly, and this time there is wine, his third younger brother must not be able to resist the temptation.

Seeing his third younger brother looking at him, Guan Yu cupped his hands and responded to Ma Chao:

"Since Brother Ma Chao invited you, Guan Yu and the third younger brother will not be polite."

Hearing what Guan Yu said, Ma Chao happily walked up to the two of them, grabbed their wrists, and said boldly:

"Okay, today the three of us brothers will not return if we are not drunk!"

When Zhang Fei heard that his second brother agreed, he was also happy, and he was able to drink again. Ma Chao held his hand and sat down at a seat by the window.

Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at the three people in front of them, with envy and memories in their eyes, thinking that they were so energetic and passionate when they were young, but now they can only feel that the two brothers are already old.

After the two sat down, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei took their seats. Ma Teng signaled for Ma Chao to ask for a drink. Ma Chao, who had just sat on the stool, heard his father's appearance and shouted to Xiaoer:

"Second Brother, I'm happy today, serve some more wine, we want to have a good drink today!"

When Xiaoer heard Ma Chao calling him, he hurried to the seats where the people were sitting, and with a smile on his face, he asked the people sitting there:

"Gentlemen, what kind of wine do you drink? Ordinary? Is it our Liaodong's own wine?"

Ma Chao pretended to be annoyed and said to the smiling Xiaoer:
