Shangyong was the capital of the southwestern vassal state of Yong during the Shang Dynasty. The county was established at the end of the Han Dynasty. The capital was located in Shangyong City, located in the southwest of Zhushan County, Hubei Province.

According to the "Shangshu·Mu Oath", in 1046 BC, King Wu of Zhou joined forces with the eight kingdoms of Bashu to jointly attack Zhou Zhou of Shang and fought in Muye. King Wu of Zhou won, laying the foundation for the eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty.

As an ally of King Wu of Zhou, Yongguo was strong at that time and ranked first among the eight countries.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the Yong Kingdom, as a meritorious vassal state, received considerable rewards and its national strength was prosperous.

By the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the country's national strength remained unchanged. The "Spring and Autumn Period" records that "only mediocre people are good at fighting, and Qin and Chu are unable to defeat them."

In 611 BC, Yongguo relied on his strong national strength and took advantage of the famine in the Chu State to raise troops to advance eastward, hoping to expand his territory.

Unexpectedly, it backfired. Instead, it was destroyed by King Zhuang of Chu and the state of Ba in the west. The territory was divided by Chu, Qin and Ba. The idiom "mediocre people disturb themselves", so it came.

Ma Su wanted to lie down at Shangyong, and he originally wanted to not want to be troublesome.

His requirements were not high, but he just wanted to act as the county magistrate, take charge of the military power of a county, resist Cao Cao's attack, and achieve his reputation as both civil and military.

This is his late father's last wish, so Ma Su naturally has to work in this direction.

The position of county magistrate is not high. After conquering Wuling, Ma Su took office as the county magistrate of Wuling County. He had already reached this level and could not be promoted.

But Shangyong is also a big county after all, and it borders Cao Cao's territory, so the responsibility is not light!

It is not easy for Ma Su to go. It is not easy to rely on his merits, so Ma Su had no choice but to use favors.

Zhuge Liang had a good relationship with Ma Liang and had a good relationship with Ma Su. He belonged to the Jingzhou faction no matter how he said that.

Ma Su didn't want to ask Liu Bei directly, so he quietly asked Zhuge Liang for help.

Since Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, Liu Bei has been obedient to him, and he has never used his power for personal gain.

This time Ma Su looked for him, but he didn't think it was difficult to send Ma Su to attack Shangyong and appoint him as Shangyong County Magistrate.

So Zhuge Liang agreed immediately and after the stability of Hanzhong, he immediately proposed to Liu Bei: send Ma Su and Wang Ping to attack Shangyong.

Zhuge Liang highly recognized Ma Su's talent. He thought it was a bit insignificant to be a county magistrate and wanted to make him the county magistrate.

After all, Shangyong was a big county bordering Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang specially sent Wang Ping to be the county magistrate to assist Ma Su in guarding the army and politics.

Who knew that Zhuge Liang, who had always been a god, miscalculated this time!

Because the Hanzhong War has come to an end, the capture of Shangyong County has become the last military achievement of this war, and many people have taken a fancy to this piece of fat.

Mrs. Wu’s brother Wu Yi and Wu Ban expressed their tactful intention to collect Shangyong for their brother-in-law Liu Bei.

Because she wanted to participate in the Hanzhong War to obtain military merits, Meng Da almost lost all his wealth during the recruitment of the army in Yidu.

But his five thousand county soldiers had a low level of training. Although he participated in World War II, his performance was not satisfactory. It can only be said that his military achievements were far from enough to make up for his efforts.

Although conquering Shangyong is not a great achievement, being able to blatantly plunder the property of hostile forces is a beautiful mistake to make up for his own losses. Meng Da naturally did not want to let it go.

Meng Da has always been Fa Zheng's follower. From Guanzhong to Xichuan, he was always giving Fa Zheng a younger brother, and he was hardworking.

Although Meng Da and Liu Bei were also familiar with each other, they were far from being able to make suggestions at any time. The only favors he could entrusted was Fazheng.

Fa’s best friends in Xichuan were Meng Da and Zhang Song.

Although Fa Zheng looked down on his character from the bottom of his heart, he valued this friendship very much.

After receiving Meng Da's request, Fa Zheng passed a thorough plan and comprehensive analysis, and immediately followed Zhuge Liang, he proposed to Liu Bei that he would ask Liu Feng and Meng Da to collect Shangyong's suggestions.

Liu Bei had a great trust in Fa Zheng. Fa performed very well in the battle of Hanzhong, and his position in Liu Bei's mind was already above Zhuge Liang.

This time, Fazheng's plan was thorough and prepared, so he naturally wanted to defeat Zhuge Liang's plan.

In fact, Fa Zheng's proposal to partner with Liu Feng and Meng Da was very reasonable, which was obviously better than Zhuge Liang's Ma Su and Wang Ping's partners.

Because this suggestion not only takes into account the interests of Jingzhou and Xichuan, but also takes into account the interests of Liu Bei himself.

Therefore, Liu Bei made the final decision and decided to send Liu Feng and Meng Da, plus Wang Ping to lead the troops to capture Shangyong counties.

Because of this, Zhuge Liang's face was also taken care of.

After all, Wang Ping was recommended by Zhuge Liang, which is equivalent to combining the two's plans.

Zhuge Liang suggested that Ma Su go to Shangyong. Although he was giving Ma Su a favor, his main purpose was to take care of his elder brother-in-law Kuai Qi.

As the saying goes, "The elder brother is like a father, and the elder sister is like a mother."

Zhuge Liang lost his mother at the age of three and his father at the age of eight. Although his uncle Zhuge Xuan assumed the responsibility of raising him, his daily care was mainly based on his two sisters.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang had a very deep relationship with his two sisters.

My eldest brother-in-law, Kuai Qi, is a young talent from the Kuai family, a prominent family member in Jingzhou. Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue’s nephew, and is also a person with both wisdom and benevolence.

After Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Kuai Qi was appointed as the prefect of Shangyong, with remarkable political achievements and great expectations for the people.

My second brother-in-law Pang Shanmin is the son of Zhuge Liang's mentor Pang Degong, and his good friend Pang Tong's cousin. He is now also a subordinate of Cao Cao's subordinate.

Zhuge Liang was able to complete his studies without worries about food and clothing, and after he became an adult, before he came out, he was able to live in seclusion in Wolonggang in a comfortable morning and early morning, and he also received the care and care of his two brother-in-law.

Although Zhuge Liang failed to recommend Ma Su to Shangyong, he did not care too much.

With his position in Liubei Group, it is easy to ask anyone to take care of his brother-in-law Kuai Qi.

Zhuge Liang was cautious and specifically found Liu Feng, asking him not to make things difficult for Kuai Qi after he captured Shangyong, and let him go back to the north.

Zhuge Liang had known for a long time that his brother-in-law Kuai Qi would not stay in Xichuan to become an official.

Because the entire Kuai family has moved to Xuchang, including his wife, children, and children, all of them have stayed in Xuchang.

Kuai Qi is also one of the candidates for the head of the Kuai family, so it is naturally impossible for him to leave the family alone and join Liu Bei.

Liu Feng is the main general who conquered Shangyong this time. Meng Da and Wang Ping are both deputy generals. Since Zhuge Liang has entrusted Liu Feng to take care of him, he does not think that his brother-in-law will be in any danger.

But things went against my wishes, and something happened to Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law Kuai Qi.

I heard that Cao Cao had abandoned Hanzhong and left, and Xiangyang was in the hands of Guan Yu. The counties of Shangyong were already isolated and helpless. The local tyrants and families represented by Shen Dan and Shen Yi were all ready to surrender.

Only the prefect Kuai Qi, because his wife's brother Zhuge Liang was an official in Liu Bei's army, he didn't care much about Liu Bei's army's attacks and did not rush to leave.

As the saying goes, "Three years of Qing magistrate, there were 100,000 silver silver."

Kuai Qi was a county magistrate in Shangyong for many years. Although he was a clean and upright official, his salary was quite high, and his normal relationships with people still earned a considerable amount of property.

When Cao Cao fought in Hanzhong, Kuai Qi was also very concerned about whether his official position could be preserved.

After receiving the news that Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, a large number of officials appointed by Cao Cao in Shangyong immediately collected their wealth and fled.

Kuai Qi had no intention of joining Liu Bei and was about to hang the seal.
