Ma Su survived the most difficult period in Chengdu. Now the work of the Chengdu County Government has been on track, and his abilities have been recognized by everyone.

Those aristocratic families not only did not cause trouble, but instead provided help to Ma Su, and the fence-bearing face was speechless.

Because Ma Su was not from Xichuan, he was not only targeted by local aristocratic families, but also had serious xenophobia.

Although the common people are not educated, they also use their own methods to test Ma Su's quality. They often pretend to be crazy and foolish, deliberately causing problems for him.

The decrees issued by Ma Su were also often hindered.

But he was not a vegetarian. In order to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, he severely punished several illegal people.

The local people have an unwritten rule, that is, "the law does not punish the masses." They took out their trump card: "Gathering the masses to cause trouble" and confronting Ma Su's political orders.

Although Ma Su had no foundation in Chengdu, he was not alone. In addition to Zhuge Liang's support, he also added more than 100 trusted guards under him to various departments of the yamen.

In addition, the yamen runners who were recruited were not short of manpower. Someone had long penetrated into the troublemakers, discovered the intentions of these people, and laid a net.

Although Ma Su was low-key, he could not let Zhuge Liang down. As the chief executive of Chengdu, he must establish his authority in the complex Chengdu to gain a foothold.

Gathering people to cause trouble can be big or small!

If Shangguan wants to deal with you and exaggerate it, then you are neglecting your duties and "inciting civil unrest", and there will definitely be no good results.

If an official has extraordinary abilities and is able to use thunder to exterminate it, there is a lot of room for him.

If officials want to punish severely, they can be considered rebellion. Even if they are killed on the spot, it will be a merit, and the participants will not end well.

Of course, it can also turn big things into small things, and this is what Ma Su thought.

He used all his force to arrest and convict more than 100 ordinary people who gathered to cause trouble, and suddenly suppressed those illegal people. The atmosphere in Chengdu was cleared.

All the decrees were successfully implemented, and Ma Su resumed his leisurely life.

Not long after, Guan Yu sent someone to send good news. He sent troops to defeat Cao Renjun who invaded Jingzhou, killed two generals, and recovered Xinye City.

There is no airtight wall in the world. Fei Shi went to Jingzhou to pay the prize. The fact that Guan Yu was unwilling to be on par with Huang Zhong was spread to Chengdu, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the generals participating in the Battle of Hanzhong.

Many generals believed that although Guan Yu was in charge of Jingzhou, he received generous rewards without decent military achievements. Many people questioned that he was not worthy of his name, and Liu Bei was also quite embarrassed.

Although Guan Yu's recovery of Xinye this time was a small attempt, it was also a great achievement, and Guan Yu's reputation in Chengdu increased.

When Ma Su heard this news, he suddenly remembered Guan Yu's careless loss of Jingzhou. It should be this period.

The fourth brother Ma Liang was in charge of Jingzhou, and it was inevitable that he would be burned to death.

In Ma Su's impression, Guan Yu went to Maicheng in the dream world, and the fourth brother Ma Liang did not seem to have died with Guan Yu.

Despite this, Ma Su didn't know what would happen. He was very worried about the safety of Ma Liang and his family in Jingzhou. He thought hard for several days and had no good idea.

He had nothing to do with himself. He was not favored by Liu Bei anyway, so he could resign and return home.

But Ma Liang is highly valued by Liu Bei and has a bright future.

Besides, the Ma family also needs him to support his position, so naturally he cannot resign easily.

Ma Su had no choice but to ask Liu Bei to resign and return to his hometown in Jingzhou first.

Because he had no military power, Ma Su might not be able to help Guan Yu reverse the situation, but because he was prepared in Wuxi, he joined forces with Shamoke to save Ma Liang's life and the safety of the Ma family.

Just as Ma Su wrote his resignation and was about to go out, Dai Xiao, the guard he stayed in Majiahe, came to report the news that Ma Su's elder brother, Ma Bochang, who was just over fifty years old, actually died of illness.

In addition to being sad, Ma Su felt that this was a good opportunity, so he wrote a secret letter to Ma Liang, asking the guards to give it to Ma Liang, suggesting that the two brothers be together to avoid disaster.

...

After hearing Guan Yu's plan to build a beacon tower, Wang Fu thought it was a feasible strategy.

After thinking about it, Guan Yu prepared the ships from the docks of Xinye or Fancheng, and went downstream to the public security in one hour. Lu Meng's troops had just landed and there was no time to attack the city.

Therefore, he also believed that Lu Meng could not successfully attack, so he put this matter aside.

But he was still worried that Fu Shiren and Mi Fang would surrender to Jiangdong because they were afraid of Guan Yu's punishment.

At that time, frequent changes of lords were not embarrassing for the generals.

Wang Fu didn't dare to express his concerns clearly. Such a defamation of people is a life-threatening person!

He said to Guan Yu tactfully:

"The general's plan is very good, but Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were punished by the general and were quite resentful. They were afraid that they would not do their best to guard the two important areas of the Public Security Bureau and Jiangling. They must have another person to govern Jingzhou to achieve completeness."

Of course, Guan Yu didn't trust them either. What he disliked the most was Mi Fang, who was afraid of being heavy and frugal.

Mi Fang is not very capable. Relying on Liu Bei's second brother-in-law, he is not satisfied with occupying the high position of the prefect of Nanjun, but he still has to make trouble for Jingzhou affairs, which is very annoying.

This time, Guan Yu seized Mi Fang's mistake and did not give him any face. He just wanted to find an opportunity to drive Mi Fang away.

Guan Yu has been in charge of Jingzhou for more than two years. He has long had his own considerations in personnel arrangements, and no one likes to use subordinates he doesn't like.

Pan Jun, the governor of Jingzhou, was very smart and had a mechanism for his questions. He was valued by Guan Yu and was ready to replace Mi Fang as the prefect of Nanjun.

Pan Jun was famous in Jingzhou. When he was twenty-one, he studied under the great scholar Song Zhong and was appreciated by Wang Can, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", so he became famous.

Less than 30 years old, Pan Jun was appointed as Jiangxia by Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. At that time, County Magistrate Shaxian was corrupt and investigated and executed by Pan Jun, which shocked and frightened the whole county.

Later, he served as the magistrate of Xiangxiang County and was well-known for governing Xiangxiang.

In the 14th year of Jian'an (209), Liu Bei led the governor of Jingzhou and appointed Pan Jun as the governor of the Central Committee.

In the 16th year of Jian'an (211), Liu Bei entered Yizhou and left Pan Jun to manage Jingzhou affairs. He was Guan Yu's right-hand man and his status was second only to Ma Liang.

Guan Yu knew Pan Jun very well and knew that his ability was good and could calm the scene. He said to Wang Fu:

"I have sent Pan Jun, the governor, to lead 5,000 troops to guard Jiangling City. Even if Mi Fang is careless, Pan Jun will deal with it in time. There should be no major problems!"

Speaking of Pan Jun, Wang Fu's mouth twitched involuntarily, and the two of them had some disagreements.

When Wang Fu first arrived, he had a great time talking to his colleagues in Jingzhou, and everyone admired his eloquence very much.

Only Pan Jun was arrogant and talented, and did not buy Wang Fu's account at all. He even refuted him on the spot, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Wang Fu got along well with Guan Yu and was dissatisfied with Pan Jun. In addition, he wanted to promote his close friend Zhao Lei, so he suggested to Guan Yu:

"Pan Jun is often taboo in his life and is fame and fortune, so he should not be reused. But I think the former governor, Zhao Lei, is more suitable than him. It is better to use Zhao Lei to replace Pan Jun to guard Jiangling. He is a loyal city and honest person. If he uses this person, he will be foolproof."

Guan Yu was particularly shameful, and it was difficult for him to change the things he believed. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was stubborn and was a little unhappy about Wang Fu's interference in personnel changes. He explained patiently:

"I have been with Pan Jun for a long time and know that he is extremely talented and will be able to do this. Now that I have decided, there is no need to change it. Zhao Lei's presence in charge of food and materials is also a major matter. You and Pan Jun should cooperate frequently in the future, and don't be suspicious. You should hurry up and lead troops to build a beacon tower, which is the main thing."

Wang Fu was not a person without color and saw Guan Yu's unhappiness, so he did not dare to make any other requests, so he bowed down and led his troops to build a beacon tower.

Guan Ping was ambushed for nearly a month and did not find any opportunity. Before attacking Fancheng, Guan Yu asked him to lead the army to prepare enough ships for rescue.
