As the barbarian king, Meng Huo still has ambitions, and he also wants to make the Nanman business a prominent force.

But this failure in the expedition was like a wake-up call, which gave him a clear understanding of the current situation of the Southern Barbarians.

After thinking hard for several days, Meng Huo felt that to change his current state, he had to truly unify the entire Southern Barbarians, and at least he had to take military power into his own hands in order to launch a war on the outside.

Meng Huo was brave in fighting, strong in will, and honest in others. He was very popular among the Southern Barbarian tribes. Even the local Han residents admired him.

Meng Huo won the title of Barbarian King, and the tribe that supported him did not have an absolute advantage.

Even if the tribe that supports him may not be willing to give up his military power.

It is very difficult for him to bring all the armies of the tribes into his own control!

Meng Huo convened the leaders of major tribes to hold a meeting and announced that each tribe would provide a certain number of troops, which would be unified under the command of the Barbarian King.

However, the Southern Barbarian tribe is brave and ruthless, and only obeys the strong, but will not give up the security of their own troops and tribes to others, so they naturally strongly oppose it.

Military power is related to the survival of a tribe, so it cannot be given up easily.

Even some of the former hard-core supporters of Meng Huo began to oppose Meng Huo because they wanted to maintain the independence of their tribe.

For a time, the forces opposed to Meng Huo became increasingly powerful, and Meng Huo's plan to control military power was not smooth.

Fortunately, although there were many tribes against Meng Huo, none of them came out to carry the flag. Although they had gathered many barbarian soldiers, they were just a mess.

In the battle between the two sides, Meng Huo, whose troops were at a disadvantage, had the advantage.

Meng Huo led the army of the three major cave masters to block the attacks of other tribes with a disadvantageous army, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

Because it was a civil war after all, Meng Huo and others did not want to cause too much damage, and each had their own concerns and deliberately controlled the scale of the war. There was no death battle between the tribes with huge casualties, but there were constant disputes between the small tribes in the two camps.

Ma Su didn't have a lot of experience in the dream world, but because his mother liked to watch various spy movies, he occasionally accompanied his mother to relax while studying.

Therefore, he watched a lot of spy war dramas, and the one that had a profound impact on him was "Luxing".

Thinking of those underground workers and those thrilling stories of invading the enemy, Ma Su is very fascinated when he thinks about it now.

He felt that he had the ability to intervene in the civil war of the Southern Barbarian tribe, so he decided to plan well and send several of his subordinates to Meng Huo's undercover, and first help Meng Huo unify the Southern Barbarians.

Ma Su made his wishful thinking and bought secret chess from Meng Huo's army first. At that time, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort after following Zhuge Liang to conquer the southern barbarians.

Because Shamoko and Ma Liang lived in seclusion in Yueli County, they both pretended to die and pierced their names. He didn't want other people to come to Yueli to rule, so as not to find clues.

The best way is to be Ma Su himself as the prefect of Yueli and turn Yueli into the back garden of the Ma family so that he can be free of trouble.

It was very difficult for him to get this position. The key was that what Liu Bei said before his death blocked Zhuge Liang's way of using Ma Su.

If Ma Su could make great contributions when pacifying the Southern Barbarians and gain the respect of the Southern Barbarian tribe, he would be able to justify his request to be the prefect of Yueli, and Zhuge Liang would not be afraid of others gossiping.

After all, if the Ma family wants to rise, they should pay equal importance to both economic strength and official background.

Ma Su became the prefect of Yueli, and he could kill two birds with one stone. Not only could he become the prefect of Mu Shou, but his family could also occupy the commercial market in the Southern Barbarians.

But the head of the Ma family business is not Ma Su after all. The Ma family's daily expenses are quite large, and they will soon lose money if they don't make money.

Due to the war, the Ma family's business in the Nanman area was greatly affected, which made Uncle Ma, who was invincible in the business world, often became anxious.

He could not wait for the peace in the Southern Barbarians to restore peace, so he decided to go to the already stable Jiangdong, re-plan the market, and make up for the losses caused by Sun Lang's fall.

Most of the business of Uncle Ma in Jiangdong was in cooperation with Sun Lang, but he also had some separate businesses. There were many officials with good relationships with the Ma family. Among them, Ji Yan respected Uncle Ma most and called Uncle Master.

Uncle Ma had several troubles in Jiangdong. He could have asked Sun Lang to solve the problem at that time, but he had tried to find it several times. He encountered several minor troubles in Jiangdong. After finding Ji Yan, he did everything properly.

Now that the Southern Barbarians are in constant war, the Ma family's business operations are almost at a standstill. Uncle Ma is always anxious to stay here, so he decided to go to Wu in person to rebuild his business network in Jiangdong.

...

Ji Yan was the candidate of Cao Lang, and at that time, Zhang Wen was the candidate of Shangshu Cao, and he was his immediate superior.

Zhang Wen recommended Ji Yan as the candidate of Cao Lang, so he naturally wanted to implement his personnel reform plan.

This year, Sun Quan happened to be defeated by Zhang Liao in Hefei, and his troops were damaged and his generals were lost.

As the house was leaking, it rained all night, and Sun Quan was defeated by Cao Cao who came to support him.

Although he later stopped his troops and made peace with Cao Cao and external troubles were temporarily eliminated, internal troubles were intensifying.

After Cao Cao unified the north, the north returned to stability.

While conquering all directions, Cao Cao selected talents in an unconventional manner.

The "North Soldiers and South Flows", which provided the foundation for Sun's family to establish a foundation, has basically stopped.

Sun Ce died unexpectedly. Although he personally appointed Sun Quan to succeed the throne, many people in the Sun clan had different opinions.

Within the clan, Sun Quan was not the one who called for succession, but Sun Kuang, who was most loved by Sun Jian.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and other important officials supported Sun Quan. Because they needed the support of the Jiangdong family, Sun Quan once reached a compromise with the Jiangdong family and used many wealthy families as men and officials.

When Sun Quan needed to hire people, looking around, the courts in Wu State were mostly rich families from Wujun, Kuaiji and other places. Most of them were ignorant and could not do their job well, but they were still pretending to be powerful. Lao Qian's abilities were first-class.

Only a small number of these people have gained power based on their talents.

Most of them rely on the credit of grandpa and dad to make up for the numbers, which is simply useless.

Ji Yan saw this, and Sun Quan naturally saw this too.

But when he accepted Jiangdong, he had external troubles and internal troubles. In order to get the support of the aristocratic families, he personally agreed to this condition that he asked major aristocratic families to select talents as officials.

After Sun Quan settled his position, he naturally could not dismiss these useless people.

Because of external troubles and internal troubles, Sun has not yet broken the bridge and has the confidence to go back on his word.

In this way, not only will Sun Quan's credit be greatly reduced, but he will also offend the entire Jiangdong family and shake the foundation of the Sun's rule.
