When Ma Su left Chengdu, he seemed to be unable to bear the brink of face, but in fact he was looking for an excuse to leave and find a good opportunity to make contributions.

Ma Su was certainly unhappy with Liu Bei's "two different eyes" and he was not without the idea of ​​finding another way out.

But he is not alone now. After Ma Liang lived in seclusion, he still needed Ma Su to maintain the glory of the Ma family.

The Ma family also has a second brother and third brother to take care of, and his nephew Ma Bing also has an official position, so it is not necessary for him.

But he also made a promise that he would win a job for Zhong Yue and others within two years. How dare he act arrogantly and break his promise and become fat!

Ma Su was happy that others misunderstood him, so he had an excuse in the name of studying abroad.

Of course, he did not dare to go to Wei and Wu, leaving a handle for others, so he could only go to the southern barbarians.

It is true that I am looking for new markets for the third brother, Uncle Ma, and more importantly, I investigate the terrain and prepare for pacifying the southern barbarians.

After Shamoke defrauded himself of his name and resigned from the position of Barbarian King, Wuling Man was under Shi Bo and completely fell into the control of Dongwu E, and the Ma family's business was greatly affected.

Although the Southern Barbarians were nominally included in the rule of Shu Han, they were also like Wuling Man. They did not accept the king's transformation and acted on their own. Their scale was not comparable to Wuling Man.

After getting along with Shamoke, the Ma family had the sweetness and naturally would not give up the Southern Barbarian area, which was countless times larger than the Wuling Man. When Ma Su persuaded Ma Shuchang to withdraw from Wuling and sent Zhong Yue and others to Yue, he was in the idea of ​​opening up the Southern Barbarian market. The market here was huge and there were more business opportunities.

Ma Su sent Zhong Yue, Yang Kui, Zhang Zhuang, Fu Li and others to lead his army into Yueli County and occupy the mountains as kings. He did not really want to be a local emperor, but to use force to open up the trade route.

Because there are thousands of regular troops, Zhong Yue and others are veterans who have experienced battle formations for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. Especially after the Jingnan special training, they have rich experience in jungle combat, far from being comparable to the mobs of the small and medium-sized tribes of the Southern Barbarians.

The surrounding small tribes are no match for each other, and they are so conquered that they can only surrender.

Uncle Ma Chang was escorted by the army and soon opened up the market in the Nanman area.

Because of the win-win model of cooperation with Shamoko, Ma Shuchang quickly opened up in the Nanman area, gained the trust of many local tribes and made a lot of profits.

Zhong Yue and others also received sufficient military support, and the army became stronger and stronger as they fought. Not only were the army well-equipped, but the number also doubled. There were almost tens of thousands of troops, and they were well-known in the Southern Barbarians.

Ma Su once promised that they would win official positions and win their wives and children, so he would naturally not go back on his word.

After all, Ma Su had experience in the dream world and knew Zhuge Liang's strategic layout. He calmed down and thought carefully. He thought that if Zhuge Liang wanted to attack the Central Plains, he would first pacify the tribes of the Southern Barbarians.

Because Zhuge Liang had already appreciated him, although Liu Bei left a decree, Zhuge Liang had to control the general trend and could not challenge Liu Bei's authority. He believed that he would sooner or later restore his post.

However, Zhong Yue and others entered Liu Xiongming Village with Ma Su. Because of a chess game, they were abducted from Guanzhong to Jingzhou by Ma Su. The original intention was to win a single official position in Liu Bei Group and leave a way out for the family in Guanzhong.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Not only did Zhong Yue and others not only failed to get promoted and make money, but they also lost their previous position as deputy general and became king. Ma Su felt guilty.

In Jingnan, Ma Su promised that they would make contributions within two years and get promoted and make money.

Although it has just been two years now, Ma Su cannot let them wait for the opportunity to make contributions and decide to take the initiative.

After Ma Su arrived in Yuezhi County, Zhong Yue and others were very happy.

Although promotion is far away, getting rich is not a dream. They have plundered many enemies' property, and each of them has a very rich fortune.

Moreover, the four of them stationed in four villages, and they responded to each other. The feeling of occupying the mountain and becoming the king was very good.

They enjoyed the life of this kind of local emperor very much and had no complaints about Ma Su's arrangements.

They were not in a hurry, and Ma Su still had to fulfill his promise.

The barbarian generals such as Gong Li, Tian Shi were the confidants of Ma Su and Shamoke. After Shamoke committed suicide and pledged his name, they also led their troops to Yueli.

Ma Su asked them to lead their troops deep into Jianning, Yongchang, Jinghua and other barbarians gathered, recovered some small and medium-sized tribes, established several bases, and sent people to investigate the customs and customs, draw topographic maps, and set up front stations for Zhuge Liang's southern expedition.

...

...

As Liu Chan, as the heir to Liu Bei, although he was naughty, Liu Bei hired a famous teacher and received strict education since he was a child. He is not a ignorant person.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, he quickly understood Zhuge Liang's intention.

After acknowledging Zhuge Liang's plan and Gao Chen was worried, Liu Chan not only issued an order to let Zhuge Liang take over the national military, but also did not forget to sell Zhuge Liang well, saying to Zhuge Liang:

"The Empress Dowager also wants to see the Prime Minister. Now that I have heard the Prime Minister's words, I feel like I'm awakening in my dream. Why worry about it? I should let the Queen Mother stop disturbing the Prime Minister!"

The two had a very pleasant conversation. It was already lunch time, and the servant had already set up the table and delivered lunch.

As the owner, Zhuge Liang could not be rude, so he invited Liu Chan to have a meal.

Seeing a few dishes on the table, Liu Chan, who was used to eating delicious dishes, had no appetite. He ate a few bites casually, drank several cups with Zhuge Liang, and said goodbye to the palace.

Zhuge Liang was sent to the door, and all the officials stood around him. Seeing that Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang got along well and looked happy, they were speculating about the situation where he was talking to Zhuge Liang, hoping that Liu Chan would reveal a little.

Liu Chan left Kong Ming and wanted to show off, but suddenly remembered Zhuge Liang's words "not to be revealed to others". He quickly stopped him, without saying a word, and got on the imperial carriage and returned to the court.

All the officials were confused, only one of them smiled at the sky, and his face was filled with joy.

When Zhuge Liang saw that he was also an old acquaintance in Jingzhou, his surname was Deng, his name was Zhi, and his courtesy name was Bomiao. He was now the Minister of Revenue.

Deng Zhi was from Xinye County, Yiyang County (now Xinye, Henan). He was a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was an old acquaintance with Zhuge Liang. Because he could not get the appointment of Liu Biao, he went to Xichuan to look for opportunities, but no one knew about him and once relied on Pang Xi.

After Liu Bei took over Yizhou, Deng Zhi was recommended by Pang Xi and was also recruited as an official in Picheng County.

One day, Liu Bei quietly inspected the place. When he passed by Picheng, it was lunch time. The county magistrate and his party were traveling to the village. Deng Zhi, the highest official in the city, came forward to receive it.

After Liu Bei talked to Deng Zhi, he was very surprised by Deng Zhi's talent and promoted him to Pi Ling, and later promoted him to the prefect of Guanghan.

Deng Zhi was honest, rigorous and had great achievements during his tenure as the prefect of Guanghan. Before Liu Bei fought eastward, he transferred Deng Zhi to the court as the Minister of Revenue. This was Liu Bei's confidant helper who was specially left to Prince Liu Chan.
