After Ma Di fell ill, Zhuge Liang released him from prison and arranged him in a wing in the county mansion, which was not too far from the room where Feng Yong was tortured.
Feng Yong lay on the soft couch and was carried into Ma Su's ward.
Feng Yong was slightly surprised when he saw Ma Su on the hospital bed.
Although he was mentally prepared, Ma Su's current appearance still exceeded his expectations.
His face was sallow, his eyes were lifeless, and he lay there like a breathing mummy, looking lifeless at all. There was no greater sorrow than death, and most people who had no motivation to continue living looked like this.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten days. I didn't expect you to look like this!"
Feng Yong exclaimed.
Hearing the unforgettable voice, Ma Su, who was motionless, suddenly turned his head and saw Feng Yong lying on the soft couch. An unspeakable look flashed in his eyes, and then dimmed again.
I saw him open his mouth, make two "ho-ho" sounds in his throat, and spit out a few words, "Where did you come from?"
Probably because I haven't spoken for too long, these words are a bit unclear.
"Come see you."
"What's good about a dying person? I'm so ashamed that I don't dare to see you. Please come back, sir."
Ma Su turned his head, not daring to face Feng Yong.
When Feng Yong saw his appearance, he was immediately furious, "You thought I wanted to come see you? Now everyone knows that you got sick because of my humiliation. The prime minister was so angry that he punished you I, Army Stick, ordered me to come here myself, so that you can see me in such a miserable state."
"Have you been punished?"
"If I'm not punished, why can't I stand up?"
Feng Yong said angrily.
Ma Su let out a long sigh and then turned around, "It's really unsettling that someone who has committed a crime of death has implicated the king."
Feng Yong sneered, "What does your peace or uneasiness have to do with me? I came here this time just to ask you a few words."
"Your Majesty, please ask."
"Is it really because of me that you are like this now?"
"No. In fact, the blame lies with oneself."
"Then you hate me?"
When Ma Su heard this, he glanced at Feng Yong with complicated eyes, moved his lips, and after a while, he whispered, "No."
"You have a broad mind." Feng Yong chuckled, his eyes full of sneer, "Although I beat you up when we were at the street pavilion, but to tell you the truth, you don't hate me, but I still feel angry in my heart. Can’t let go.”
"I beat you not only because the soldiers died in vain, but also because I can't stand your stupidity."
When Ma Su heard this, a sickly blush appeared on his face, and he suddenly coughed violently.
Xiang Lang, who had been outside the house, rushed in, rubbed Ma Su's back, and said to Feng Yong, "Why does the monarch bully others too much?"
Feng Yong ignored Xiang Lang and continued to say to Ma Su, "Since you claim to have read a lot about military literature and want to show what you have learned, let me ask you, have you ever personally trained soldiers since you led the army?" ?”
"Have you ever inspected the military camp every day? Have you ever eaten what the soldiers eat every day? Do you know what the morale is like in the army? Have you made any plans to prepare for an attack by thieves?"
Ma Su only coughed, but did not answer Feng Yong's words.
"Most of the soldiers in the army are warriors. Even those like the prime minister will have to cross Lu in the fifth month, go deep into the barren land, and experience the miasma in southern China with the soldiers."
"Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, is powerful enough, right? But first he was hated by the pavilion chief's wife, and then he was given food by the old woman. Then he was humiliated in the crotch. He threw himself at Xiang Yu but couldn't use it. He rushed to Emperor Gaozu and was almost beheaded. Finally, he was I can worship the general."
"Even Emperor Guangwu had the dilemma of riding a bull into battle, and the humiliation of having to plead guilty to his enemies when his eldest brother was killed for no reason. If Emperor Guangwu could not endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, how could the Han Dynasty be revived?"
"You come from a prominent family in Xiangyang. You have little reputation. You claim to be proficient in the art of war. You can only lead a large army if you are favored by the prime minister. How much higher is your starting point than them? I didn't expect that you acted inappropriately when you were in battle."
"The loss of Lueyang and the defeat of Jiejie almost ruined the Northern Expedition. After a setback, he became seriously ill and couldn't bear it. He seems ashamed, but in fact he is just a coward who wants to avoid the world's accusations!"
"Historical writing is like a knife. Do you think your actions will be spared by history books because of your evasion? No! If you really become depressed like this, those who come after you will only laugh at you for being just another person who talks on paper. "
"Zhou Chu knew that he could correct his mistakes and eliminate the three evils. King Zhuang of Chu knew that he could correct his mistakes and became one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although you have made big mistakes now, you do have great talents. If you can know your shame and then be brave, you will definitely have a lot of troubles in the future. If you succeed, then the world will only praise your beauty, how can it destroy your shortcomings?"
The scholars of the former Han Dynasty were able to speak well and kill people with their swords.
In the early period of the Later Han Dynasty, although the emphasis on Confucianism led to a slight suppression of martial arts, the six skills of a gentleman were always indispensable.
It's just that as time goes by, the tendency of the upper class to value Confucianism over martial arts becomes more and more obvious.
Cui Zhouping, one of Zhuge Liang's "Four Friends", whose father Cui Lie was a Taiwei of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, Cui Zhouping angered Cui Lie and was chased and beaten by Cui Lie. He also called Cui Zhouping a "dead soldier". From this, we can see that at the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the status of soldiers had begun to decline.
Nowadays, the feather fan scarf is popular among Confucian generals, which has traces of the original history of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Ma Su was also infected with some of these bad habits.
Feng Yong likes to see this kind of trend in his enemies, but he hates this kind of trend on his side.
So when he beat up Ma Su, he may not have the intention to suppress this trend - I can't control so much, but I at least want to control what I can.
After Feng Yongbo's talk, regardless of how the two of them reacted, he stood up and moved out step by step.
Behind him were a stunned Xiang Lang, and Feng Yong who stopped coughing at some point and stared blankly at him walking out in a ridiculous posture.
Seeing that Feng Yong was about to disappear at the door, Ma Su breathed a long sigh of relief, sat up alone, and silently bowed deeply to Feng Yong's back.
Seeing Ma Su's appearance, Xiang Lang was overjoyed. Knowing that most of his knots in his heart were gone, he quickly chased after him, supported Feng Yong, and whispered, "General Feng's words are really enlightening. I will definitely come to visit you in the future." Thank you."
Feng Yong glanced behind him secretly, and then smiled, "I am an elder to Chang Shi, so don't mention it again."
"But really speaking, Yong really wants to ask Xiang Changshi for something. As long as Ma Di's illness can really be cured, then Yong Ke will be shameless and come to ask for help."
Xiang Lang sighed after hearing this, "I have only been in contact with General Feng for half a day. Is this the second time that I have been tricked by General Feng? General Feng's reputation for being gentle and gentle is truly well-deserved."
"Ouch, it hurts..."
Feng Yong groaned.
"As long as You Chang can be cured, I will do my best to do what General Feng asks for."
Xiang Lang looked at Feng Yong and said helplessly.
"With Xiang Changshi's words, Nayong will be relieved."
"The Prime Minister has already arranged a residence for the general. The general should go back and rest early."
"Oh, by the way, there is a medical officer in my camp. He is a famous doctor named Fan Qi. Please send a message to Chang Shi and ask him to come and take a look at Ma Su."
Fan Qi is Feng Yong's personal doctor, Fan A's direct grandson, and the one with the best medical talent. Since the battle in Jieting, he has been sent by Feng Yong to the army to treat the wounded.
Besides, Feng Yong was really worried about letting others treat the injury on his butt.
