Chapter 62 Ma Su comes out of the mountain
"Youchang suppressed the Qiang so quickly?"
Zhuge Liang was a little surprised by Ma Su's speed. In his opinion, annihilating the scattered Qiang people was a very troublesome matter. Those Qiang tribes are scattered everywhere, and it will take more than a day or two to wipe them all out.
However, after reading the battle report reported by Ma Su, Zhuge Liang was a little surprised.
First, they ambush the main force of the Qiang people, and then lead the army to station near the Qiang people, causing the Qiang people to be in disarray. Through the lack of unity within the Qiang tribe, opponents were divided and the Qiang people were forced to gather to resist.
The final battle was settled and shocked the remaining Qiang and Hu tribes. In just a few days, the Xianling Qiang people entrenched in Longxi County were eliminated faster than Zhuge Liang had conquered Nanzhong.
"This kid You Chang finally looks like he is leading an army in a war." Zhuge Liang showed a pleased expression for the first time, and for a moment he couldn't help feeling that his junior had finally become a talented person.
At least he has learned to apply his strategy of "attacking the city first, attacking the heart first", which is very good.
The Shu army has basically been gnawing at the old man these years, and basically all the famous generals and talents have no successors. If not, Zhuge Liang would not have trained Ma Di to be a general.
"Prime Minister, Governor Ma said that he has collected a lot of grain from the Qiang and Hu, and is sending people to Xi County. He hopes to recruit Qiang people to form an army to fill up the Han army..." The soldiers continued to report.
"That boy still knows that I am the prime minister. He didn't say hello to me at all about the things he did in Longxi County." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile, pointed to the west with his feather fan and cursed with a smile.
"Based on this guy's character, it is estimated that the Qiang and Hu tribe has been formed by now. You may send me a letter just to inform me."
This guy Ma Su dared to disobey military orders when fighting Zhang He in the street pavilion, and he was not afraid of death at all. He went to Longxi County to equalize land and destroy aristocratic families, and even led troops out of the city to suppress the Qiang.
Such a dissolute person, how could he even write a letter to ask for instructions when recruiting troops to form a military unit?
This is just like Sima Yi, who is as aggressive as a tiger and asks for a battle from thousands of miles away.
"Then Prime Minister..." Wu Ban asked.
"Approved, it's useless if I veto it anyway. I don't believe that Ma Su will be obedient and dissolve the tribe." Zhuge Liang shook his head and waved his feather fan.
"But go back and tell Youchang to come to Xi County with his troops as soon as possible. I have important things to give him."
"Wei!" the soldier replied, turning around and leaving the military tent.
"The Prime Minister plans to let him go to Chencang?" Wu Ban was silent for a while and asked doubtfully.
"That's right, let You Chang go." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, sat down again and picked up the government affairs to continue working.
"This kid did a great job in helping the people in Longxi County, and he also completed the task of suppressing the Qiang very well. With his ability, he is not a talented person, and he cannot live in a county all the time."
"After reflecting on this for so long, it's time for him to return to the battlefield to practice."
Regarding Ma Su, Zhuge Liang did not intend to remain bound to the county guard level. Letting him be the governor of Longxi temporarily was just to temper his temper. Who knew that he also did an excellent job of appeasing the people and promoting the law.
What are you waiting for? Quickly pull it out and continue working. Don't be idle anymore.
"And it won't be long before I return to Chengdu to report on my duties. My successor is not easy to communicate with. If Ma Su is left to continue to be the governor of Longxi, sooner or later we will have to fight with him."
Upon hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Wu Ban suddenly became serious and understood what Zhuge Liang meant.
The five counties of Longyou are very large, even larger than Hanzhong, and they are too far away from Yizhou. When Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu, he had to appoint a successor to take charge of the five counties of Longyou.
Currently, there is only one person in the Shu Han regime who is qualified and capable of taking on this task. But as the governor of Yongzhou, that person would definitely have a conflict with Ma Su, who had a strong personality and hated evil.
It is better to transfer Ma Su to fight first and let the two of them avoid contact. When Zhuge Liang comes back to report his work, Ma Su will be transferred back to avoid conflicts as much as possible.
"My subordinates understand, the Prime Minister is far-sighted!" Wu Ban also thought about this clearly and immediately raised his hands in praise.
"There is no foresight, it's all forced." Zhuge Liang shook his head and calmly reviewed the government affairs.
Shu Han is a small country. Even if you clench your fists with all your strength, you may not be able to beat someone to death. How can there be any contradictions?

Before Zhuge Liang's transfer order arrived in Longxi County, the prefect Ma Di had been at ease for a long time.
Ever since Hua Fei agreed to Ma Su's plan...to admonish Li Mu, Ma Su let himself go.
As soon as he heard that bandits appeared in Longxi County, Ma Di immediately mounted his horse and went to fight in person. Basically, every time Hua Fei was able to bring down Li Juncheng in time, he would never give Ma Su any chance to stop him.
For half a month, Ma Su personally led the troops to attack Longxi County on all sides. When encountering bandits, Ma Di took the lead and led his troops to charge.
There were quite a few bands at the beginning, one to two thousand people at a time. Later, I found that with too many people, not only could I not catch up with the bandits, but they would also consume a lot of food and grass.
As a result, Ma Su led fewer and fewer soldiers and horses, and finally he only dared to attack the bandits with more than a hundred cavalry. Ma Di always rushed to the front, but as if blessed by God, the enemy's arrows could not hurt him every time.
Maybe the armor is too thick?
In the process of fighting and suppressing bandits, Ma Su's reputation grew day by day. The Qiang and Hu cavalry who followed him all worshiped him as a powerful general and said that Meng Qi was still alive. Many Qiang people from other places came to surrender to Ma Su.
Of course, Li Muxing had to handle the land equalization law and most of the government affairs.
But what made Ma Su scratch his head was the leader of the Di tribe.
The Di Wang's attitude was too arrogant, and he basically scolded Ma Su as soon as he entered. Because the other party's scolding was so unpleasant, Ma Su finally got angry and scolded him one night.
In the end, he scolded him all night long, and the outcome was unclear, but King Di became depressed for some reason and never dared to have a bad mouth again.
Fortunately, the Di people were quite cooperative. No one dared to be a thorn in the side of the Shu army no matter what they said or did.
If it continues like this, Ma Su may not be able to complete his death mission, but Longxi County's productivity will soon increase significantly.
Until Zhuge Liang's order arrived, Ma Su's stable life was broken.
"The Prime Minister finally remembered me as the hero of the street pavilion. Do you plan to re-enable me?" Ma Di couldn't help but have mixed feelings after receiving Zhuge Liang's order.
I am almost setting up a shrine here now, and you finally remembered that Ma Su still exists in the world.
"Ahem... Mr. Fu, the Prime Minister has been paying attention to the situation on your side, otherwise he would not have sent the Wudang Flying Army to support you." The messenger was a little embarrassed, but he still said it bravely.
"But I'm afraid you can't continue to care for the people in Longxi County. The Prime Minister has an important and dangerous task for you..."
"Is there such a good thing?"
It is certain that there is something going on in Sichuan. Starting from today, I will try to update three times a day.
