Wuximan lives in difficult mountains and has strong folk customs. He often fights against the court by force because of excessive taxes and labor services by the government. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, it was recorded:

"In the revival of Guangwu, the barbarians in Wuling were particularly prosperous. In the 23rd year of Jianwu, the elite men and women took advantage of their dangerous passes and attacked the counties and counties."

Ma Su felt a little strange. Although Shamoke saved him, he would definitely repay him with his understanding of his brother Ma Liang.

At that time, in the big family, the interests of the family were the first priority! The education that the family members received since childhood was to glorify their ancestors!

Therefore, just using snake medicine to save Ma Su, Ma Liang would not have changed his itinerary for this and stayed here for a long time.

Seeing Ma Su's inquiring gaze, Ma Liang spoke in a low voice:

"I stayed in Shajiazhai to help Shamoke, not entirely because he saved your life, nor because my friendship with Shamoke has become deeper and deeper these days, but because something big will happen in Shajiazhai. On the Double Ninth Festival a month later, Wuxi barbarians will elect their barbarian king here."

Ma Liang did not continue to say it, but stopped and let Ma Su digest the news.

Ma Liang is quite acknowledging his younger brother's intelligence. Their brothers are both called child prodigy in the Ma family. He should be able to see the benefits and save himself a lot of talk.

When Ma Su heard that Shamoke was going to compete for the Barbarian King, a vague impression suddenly popped up in his mind. It seemed that during his dream days, he knew that Shamoke was the Barbarian King of the Wuxi Barbarians!

When Ma Su heard this, Shamoke was not yet the Barbarian King, and his eyes lit up. The commonly used noun in dreams suddenly popped up in his mind. Shamoke is definitely a "potential stock" and is worth investing in!

Ma Su knew that in the 47th AD of the 23rd year of Jianwu), the Barbarian King, one of his troops, led tens of thousands of barbarians to revive the county, punished corrupt officials, and opened warehouses to help the poor.

The "barbarians" in the counties of Hancheng, Jinling, Yuanling, and Chenyang responded to the news. Emperor Guangwu sent General Liu Shang, Wuwei, to lead more than 10,000 troops to take a boat to the Yuan River to suppress the rebel army.

When they learned from one trip that Liu Shang's army had little food and were not familiar with the terrain and roads, they gathered together to guard the dangerous situation and did not fight with them. When the food was gone, the troops were withdrawn, intercepting the attack along the way and annihilated Liu Shang's army.

In the 24th year of Jianwu, the prince captured Linyuan on one way. Emperor Guangwu sent his envoy Li Song and the prefect of Zhongshan Ma Cheng to fight, but was ambushed by the general leader of Xiangxiang.

Emperor Guangwu was shocked and urgently sent General Fubo Ma Yuan to lead more than 40,000 troops to fight.

In February of the following year, Ma Yuan led his troops to Linyuan. He took advantage of the long-term marching of Ma Yuan and was trapped in the night attack. However, he was trapped in the trap and fell into the encirclement of Ma Yuan's army, losing more than 2,000 people.

Xiang was forced to retreat to Yangjiazhai, General Mountain, Yangsixi, Dayanxi, Xiaoyanxi and other places on the north bank of Qinglangtan, Yuanjiang River.

Ma Yuan's army was stationed in the Hutou Mountain area on the south bank of the Yuan River. They were guarding the Qinglang natural danger for several months on one way, and Ma Yuan sighed at the river and was at a loss.

It was midsummer and the weather was so hot that Ma Yuan was not accustomed to the water and soil. Most of the soldiers were infected with the epidemic and died, and Ma Yuan also died of illness in the army.

The military supervisor Song Jun was afraid that the army would be in a state of fluctuation, so he appointed Sima Lu Zhong as the chief of Yuanling under the emperor's edict, and held the "edict" to negotiate and negotiate peace with the other party on one-way.

He led a group of barbarians to fight hard with the official army, and all industries were abandoned. The war was all about money and food. For the barbarians who had no surplus food, they could not bear it.

Considering the livelihoods of the people in Wuxi, Xiang Yeshi agreed to stop the war. After the peace talks were successful, Xiang Yeshi was lured and killed by Song Jun.

Since the death of a generation of barbarians was killed on one way, in order to prevent the barbarians from rebelling on a large scale again in Wuxi, the court has been trying to win over the five major tribes, allowing them to do their own affairs and even attack each other!

For more than a hundred years, although the barbarians in Wuxi are still five major tribes, there are many internal disputes and no barbarian king has emerged.

The reason is mainly because there is no candidate with enough prestige, and secondly because the government has adopted some differentiation measures all year round.

Although some tribes also had conflicts with the government, because other tribes did not respond, they were not in a state of chaos and were soon disintegrated from the inside.

Now the world is in chaos, and knowledgeable people understand that the world's general trend will be divided after a long period of harmony.

After the court lost control and the heroes rose together, every family faced a choice and a team.

Some huge ancient families, because of their strong family strength and many branches, can bet everywhere. As long as they bet on a family's power, the family can make profits.

Although the Ma family is also a big family in Xiangyang, it still cannot be ranked in Jingzhou. Compared with the Cai family, Kuai family, Huang family and other Jingzhou families, it is still quite inferior!

When Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, with the full support of those big families, he quickly gained a foothold in Jingzhou.

At that time, Liu Biao also wanted to bring the Ma family into his own camp, but because the Ma family did not have outstanding talents at that time, Liu Biao did not have decent official positions awarded to the Ma family.

Therefore, because the Ma family was not strong enough at that time, they were not included in the camp by Liu Biao.

"After passing this village, there will be no such store." Later, the Ma family's five-time family rose, but Liu Biao no longer needed to win over those small and medium-sized aristocratic families.

Now the Ma family is not short of talents, but the situation in the entire court is unclear and the situation in Jingzhou is also very delicate. Instead, the Ma family is not in a hurry to join Liu Biao's camp.

Therefore, although both Ma Liang and Ma Su both entered Lumen Academy and became a disciple of Pang De, they also had a little reputation in Xiangyang.

Instead of chanting poems and essays with disciples from aristocratic families in Xiangyang to gain reputation, they went to Wuling Mountain, a remote area, to study. In fact, they wanted to keep a low profile and accumulate strength.

If Shamoke can now help him become the Barbarian King, it will be of great benefit to Ma Liang himself and the entire Ma family, and he will not let him hide his weaknesses anymore.

Ma Su also guessed Ma Liang's intention, but he did not say it clearly, but just clasped his fists and complimented Ma Liang implicitly:

"Brother, I am thinking about Zhou Xiang, and I have a profound intention. I admire you! I will follow my next actions. I will only follow my elder brother's head in the past few days. I will practice with my elder brother. But I have given instructions and obey my orders!" Ma Liang praised Ma Su's statement very much and nodded to agree.

At this moment, Shamoke happened to come in. Seeing Ma Su were also there, he invited them to the battlefield to watch the warriors of the Xiongxi tribe performing martial arts.

The Sha family has lived in this Shajia Village for many years. I don’t know if it is the Sha family’s place name used as a surname, or if the place is named after the surname of their Sha family.

But Shajiazhai has the battlefield on Dahewan beside Xiongxiongxi, which is truly Shajiazhai.

This battlefield mainly involves making sand to build roads, paving houses, etc. This is because in the Wuling Mountain area, there is a lot of rain in spring and summer. If the road is not covered with stone slabs and sand, it will be muddy and difficult to walk.
