The situation in Wuling County is very subtle now!

The main reason is that there are too many barbarian generals and soldiers among the soldiers of Wuling County. The officials and families of Wuling County are worried that the barbarians will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

After Peng Jia and Yi Jun arrived in the army, in addition to giving gifts, they also deliberately catered to Hu Ban. In addition, their martial arts and military command ability were not weak, so they quickly gained his trust. Each of them led a thousand county soldiers and became two of the five chief generals.

Although Hu Ban did not dare to have too many biases in the allocation of military capital, he took good care of the two in his daily training and confrontation. Among the county soldiers, it can be said that the Chenxi tribe is the dominant one.

Because they occupied the positions of two main generals, Gong Li and Tian Shi were also the main generals, but they belonged to the Xiongxi and Youxi tribes.

Fortunately, they were all under Ma Su's hands, and they had a good personal relationship. They were deputy generals appointed by Liu Bei himself. They joined forces to compete with Peng Jia and Yi Jun, but they were not at a disadvantage.

This time, Liu Bei took the idea of ​​using the subject and hurriedly transferred Ma Su back to Wuling, and also had the idea of ​​asking him to rectify the soldiers of Wuling County.

Because the Ma Liang brothers had a good relationship with the barbarian king Shamoke, it was no secret that Ma Su had already gotten into martyr Shamoke's cousin and was also aware of it.

Liu Bei sent Ma Su back, of course, not just to stabilize Wuling County and the barbarians, but naturally wanted to find an opportunity to completely take the barbarians for their own use.

The other counties in Jingnan all had only one or two thousand troops. Even in Changsha County, which borders Jiangdong, Liu Bei only stationed three thousand troops of Huang Zhong, Liu Pan and Wei Yan in You County, plus the 1,000 county soldiers in Changsha City, less than five thousand people.

Wuling County did not border external forces, but Liu Bei trained 5,000 county soldiers. In addition to being used as a reserve army, it mainly prevented the barbarians from causing rebellion.

Who knew that after Hu Ban came, 4,000 county soldiers were in the hands of barbarian generals. This behavior of attracting wolves into the house made everyone in Wuling City feel in danger.

Gong Zhi, the governor of Wuling County, naturally would not hide it for Hu Ban. The official documents and news about this situation soon arrived at Liu Bei's desk.

This situation surprised Liu Bei very much, and he did not dare to take risks!

Hu Ban was originally a member of Guan Yu, and Guan Yu wanted to repay Hu Ban's kindness and proposed to Liu Bei many times to promote him.

Liu Bei had no choice but to let Hu Ban be the magistrate of Wuling County. Who knew that this kind of accident happened in just one year?

After all, Hu Ban did not cause any trouble. Using barbarian generals was still a precedent set by Ma Su. Liu Bei couldn't just remove Hu Ban from his post and punish him. After discussing with Zhuge Liang, he decided to give Guan Yu a face and just change it.

Originally, Zhuge Liang proposed to exchange Ma Liang for Hu Ban because Ma Liang had close contact with the barbarian king Shamoke, and Ma Liang always advocated that "the first priority is to attack the heart and use the barbarian to govern the barbarian!" was very consistent with the wishes of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. He wanted Ma Liang to replace Gong Zhi in the past and implement his strategy of "using barbarians to govern the barbarians".

But Guan Yu basically handed over Jiangxia's governance work to Ma Liang, and relied heavily on Ma Liang and insisted on keeping Ma Liang.

Liu Bei did not want to weaken Jiangxia's defensive power by transferring Ma Liang. Because Jiangxia's position was very special and bordered with two major forces, Jiangdong and Cao Cao, he had to agree to Guan Yu's request.

It just so happened that Sun Shangxiang asked for punishment for Ma Su because of the arrest incident. Liu Bei followed suit and sent Ma Su to replace Hu Ban.

But Zhuge Liang likes to pretend to be mysterious when using people and tricks. Ma Su was transferred back to Wuling, only knowing that it was because of Sun Shangxiang, and not knowing the real purpose of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei.

Ma Liang came to see off his younger brother because he received the instructions from Zhuge Liang, but he didn't know what Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei meant, but he just asked Ma Su to test the possibility of pursuing Shamoke.

On the third day after the reception for Ma Su, the handover between Hu Ban and Ma Su was completed.

Although he had only handed over military supplies such as weapons, food and grass, with the help of Gong Li and Tian Shi, Ma Su had already figured out the situation of the Wuling County soldiers in the past few days, and was speechless about Hu Ban's sales of officials and other actions!

During the handover, Hu Ban repeatedly proposed that he would return to Jiangling to work. If Ma Su had someone to take care of in Jiangling, just tell him, he would definitely live up to his entrustedness!

Ma Su heard what Hu Ban said, and wanted Ma Su to give him some face and keep Peng Jia and Yi Jun at his post.

Not to mention that Ma Su had no particularly close people to take care of in Jiangling, even if he really needed care, Ma Su would not be able to have such an exchange with Hu Ban, so he never took his words.

Although Hu Ban is older, he is also more respectful in terms of face. He also pays attention to courtesy in the officialdom. In addition to his disciples and former officials, he usually does not ask for his colleagues casually, so as not to owe favors and is even more afraid of losing face.

Therefore, if Ma Su didn't take over Hu Ban's words, he couldn't tell him how to take care of Peng Jia and Yi Jun directly, but he accepted other people's gifts. If he couldn't protect his position, he wouldn't be able to say anything. He kept thinking about how to plead for mercy.

According to convention, the day before Hu Ban left, Ma Su held a banquet for him to practice in the army. Originally, Peng Jia and Yi Jun were not invited, so Hu Ban had no choice but to take Peng Jia and Yi Jun to the banquet.

Although both of them bought positions with money, they are not incompetent people. Although their martial arts are not as good as Gong Li and Tian Shi, they are not much different. Moreover, the methods of commanding the training of soldiers are not bad. This is where Hu Ban relied on their confidence.

As soon as Hu Ban came in, before he could sit down, he introduced to Ma Su:

"You Chang, although you have seen them, you may not know them well. Although they are just subordinates, they are all good at martial arts, and their ability to command soldiers is not bad. They are my brother's right-hand assistant. This time I returned to Jiangling, and I have no position yet, so I can't take them away. Please take care of you!" The implication is to keep their position.

These two people are the best in the Chenxi tribe. They have been in the army for so long and are very clear about the rules in the officialdom. They quickly clasped their fists and expressed their opinions:

"We, Gong Li and Tian Shi, are also friends, and we must insist on implementing General Ma's orders!"

To be fair, both of them are rare generals. If Ma Su had not had the grudges with the Chenxi tribe, or the Chenxi tribe had not had close contact with Jiangdong, he might have agreed to Hu Ban's favor, after all, one more friend and one more way.

But now Ma Su dared not take risks. Leaving the two of them by his side was like a time bomb, and he didn't know how he died!

Therefore, Ma Su still did not take over Hu Ban's words and just kept urging him to drink, but Hu Ban and others had no intention of drinking, and the banquet ended unhappy.

Peng Jia and Yi Jun, as soon as they saw that they were not allowed to do anything, they said goodbye and left early. After they returned, they immediately sent the news back to the Chenxi tribe and asked Shi Bo to prepare early.

After Ma Su took over the county soldiers, he could not have been too ugly. He immediately took action to replace Yi Jun and Peng Jia, and summoned the five generals to discuss matters and let them train well. He wanted to assess the military's training results.

In this training results assessment, Ma Su proposed a new concept - the end-elimination system, which is a trick he learned in the dream world and his father, and is very useful in management.

After listening to Ma Su's instructions, Peng Jia and Yi Jun looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They knew that Ma Su had taken action and used a high-spirited reason. Even if they tried their best in training, they could not escape the fate of being "eliminated at the end", but "the time has not come."
