Brother Zun adapts to the current situation, seizes the opportunity, and helps to make the country prosperous. The light of wisdom has been revealed. It is not easy to think flexibly and judge things clearly. Therefore, it is necessary to select talents timely. If you can be far sighted, benevolent and open to the sky, so that people can focus on listening to his words, the world obeys his way, and correct Zheng and Wei's obscene voice with exquisite music, it will be beneficial to all undertakings, without mutual interference.

Ma Liang immediately drafted and said: "Ma Liang, a special official of the monarchy of his country, will continue his visit in order to carry forward the alliance achievements of Kunwu and Zaiwei. He is a gifted man who once served as an official in Jingchu. He is seldom reckless, but has comprehensive virtue. He hopes to be accepted and help him to complete his mission.

The famous doctor Hua Tuo scrapes the bone for Guan Yu's poisoned arrow. Guan Yu plays chess with Ma Liang. After the fall of Jingzhou, Guan Yu sent Ma Liang, Yi Ji and Fu Wen to Chengdu for help. In the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was eager to avenge himself. He attacked Wu and took charge of the documents by Ma Liang and Chen Zhen. Ma Liang dissuaded him, but Liu Bei didn't listen. Sun Quan took Lu Xun as his governor. Ma Liang advised Liu Bei to be on guard, but Liu Bei didn't listen. Ma Liang believed that the Wu army must be waiting for the change of the Shu army. During this period, Ma Liang went to consult Zhuge Liang with a geographic map. When Zhuge Liang died during the southern expedition, Ma Su invited him to join the Chinese army. But when he saw a man marching in plain clothes, it was ma su. Ma Su died as his brother Ma Liangxin, so he was filial, which is different from historical records.
