Because the time to recruit Shamoke was not yet there, Shamoke himself could not get an official position for a while, and he was obsessed with the two official positions in Ma Su's hands, and constantly promised Ma Su many benefits, which made him very embarrassed.

Ma Su didn't want to use this official position to exchange for money, but mainly considered how to explain to Liu Bei!

Hu Ban was transferred for no reason and did not arrange an errand. If he had nothing to do with his official position, Ma Su would definitely not believe it.

Since ancient times, the superiors have had many surveillance methods against the generals in charge of military power. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from Liu Bei.

If Hu Ban’s official positions were used by a few of his relatives and friends, Liu Bei would not care. After all, if he wanted to control the army, he still needed a few trustworthy right-hand assistants.

However, Hu Ban sold official positions and made money in the army, which had a great impact on the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, and Liu Bei was definitely not happy.

After thinking hard, Ma Su simply formulated a long-term plan to subdue the barbarians and reported them to Liu Bei openly. The main method was to use official positions to win over and divide the barbarians.

In this way, Ma Su's appointment of barbarian generals was legalized. Although he could not control the use of barbarian soldiers and horses, he could at least appease them and not cause trouble. When the time was right, he could bring those barbarian warriors into the army and transfer them to the battlefield for use.

Ma Su simply acted as a good person to the end and handed over the right to select generals from the Luxi tribe and Wuxi tribe to the barbarian king Shamoke.

In this way, although Shamoke's tribe did not get an official position, because he put the overall situation of the barbarians first in dealing with the Chenxi tribe this time, and did not charge the benefits of these two tribes, his prestige among the entire barbarians increased greatly.

In addition to giving some compensation to the Chenxi tribe, these two tribes also added a lot of tribute to Shamoke.

After this incident, the strength of the Chenxi tribe has dropped significantly. In addition, the other tribes have suppressed them without any trace. Even if Jiangdong has made great efforts to support them, it will be no longer a problem in the short term. Ma Su felt relieved.

Shamoke got a lot of benefits this time. He was quite satisfied with Ma Su and offered to ask Ma Su to marry Sha Dong in half a year.

Ma Su and Sha Dong's relationship became deeper and deeper, so naturally they had no objection and were ready to let the third brother, Uncle Ma, often come forward to organize the marriage.

Although Ma Su handled this incident neatly and did not leak news, he killed two generals and did not dare to hide it, so as not to cause Liu Bei's misunderstanding.

Ma Su personally wrote down the official document, wrote down the matter in detail, and reported it to Liu Bei together with the plan to recover the barbarians.

Liu Bei had the intention to take the barbarians for his own use, and he admired Ma Su's strategy very much, so he naturally would not interfere.

As for the marriage to Sha Dong, Ma Su was not the eldest son of the Ma family, and it was not a big deal, but Uncle Ma still handled it with great fanfare, and the news spread quickly.

...

After Pang Tong arranged his tribe members in Jiangdong, he brought some confidants and quietly left Jiangdong and came to Jingzhou.

At this time, Kongming had not returned from the four counties in Jingnan. Liu Bei was in charge of the public security himself. Suddenly, the doorman reported:

"Pang Tong, a famous scholar in Jiangnan, came to like each other."

Liu Bei heard about Feng Chu Pang Tong's name for a long time, and was not convenient to neglect it, so he taught his subordinates to come in and meet him immediately.

When Pang Tong heard that Liu Bei had visited his thatched cottage three times to invite his friend Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain. This time he took the initiative to vote. He didn't want to reduce his value too much, so he did not take out the letter of recommendation from Kong Ming. When he saw Liu Bei, he also made the style of a famous scholar, but he bowed and refused to bow.

Liu Bei knew that this was a common problem among famous scholars and did not care much about it. However, when the two talked, Pang Tong thought that even if he said that he was full of splendor, he could not compare to Kong Ming's Longzhong right. It would be better not to show his talent and find opportunities to make a big splash, just said:

"I heard for a long time that Uncle Liu is recruiting talents and is especially here to like each other."

Because of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei no longer had the same desire for talents as before, but he still did not dare to be contemptuous of Pang Tong.

Because Mr. Shui Jing had a high opinion of Pang Tong, but Liu Bei had no actual position to arrange Pang Tong. He was afraid that leaving him in the police would cause Kong Ming to misunderstand, so he decided to let him do some practical things first and then investigate it.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Bei said to Pang Tong:

"Before Jingchu was pacified, I should have valued the teacher, but I had no idle job. I went to the northeast for one hundred and thirty miles, and there was a county named Leiyang County, and I lacked a county magistrate. I was appointed by Qu Gong. If there was a vacancy in the future, I should have valued it."

Pang Tong remembered that Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times and invited him to join him, and he took the initiative to vote. The treatment was a bit different, and he felt a little disappointed.

But he was still a little unhappy with the position of the county magistrate. It was not that he thought the official position was small, but that he felt that he could not use his strengths in military planning.

Pang Tong thought about it again and had a certain plan in his mind. He decided to take up the position in Leiyang County first, and then use the plan to attract the attention of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and then use his talent to convince Liu Bei and achieve his own goal.

So, Pang Tong took office in Leiyang, deliberately ignored political affairs and enjoyed drinking all day long.

After January, it is the time for autumn grain to be stored, which is a big event. Pang Tong only asked his general subordinates to handle the matter according to the rules, but he still ignored the lawsuits against all the money and grain.

These things soon reached Liu Bei's ears.

After hearing this, Liu Bei was very surprised that he wanted to go to investigate and deal with it himself, but he should not leave the police easily.

It was almost time for Ma Su to get married. Zhang Fei wanted to go to Wuling to attend his wedding, so he asked Liu Bei to say goodbye and just asked for this mission.

Zhang Fei and Sun Qianqian went to Leiyang County for inspection. In order to fully understand, they simply asked people to make an announcement in advance. When they were about to arrive in the county town, all the soldiers, civilians and officials in the county went out to greet him, but the county magistrate Pang Tong was not seen.

Zhang Fei didn't know Pang Tong's name, so he felt a little unhappy and asked casually: "Where is the county magistrate?"

Pang Tong's deputy was a county magistrate named Lu Wei. Before Pang Tong came here, he had the final say in Leiyang. He originally thought that he could become a county magistrate naturally, but now that Pang Tong has robbed his official position, he is dissatisfied.

Lu Wei was originally a local snake in Leiyang, so he had already made arrangements.

Even if Pang Tong uses psychological matters, he always wants to use his connections and cause more trouble for him, so that he can make some mistakes in political affairs, and take the opportunity to drive Pang Tong away.

Who knew that after Pang Tong came, he did nothing. Lu Wei was secretly happy and did not take action against Pang Tong.

He wanted to clear himself, but he did not dare to seek benefits privately. He just did his own business well. The county government was cleared and did not persuade Pang Tong. After more cases accumulated in the county were found, people would make people legend everywhere.

Hearing Zhang Fei's question, Lu Wei took a step forward, first bowed respectfully, and then sued:

"Mr. Pang County has been in office for nearly three months. He has ignored the matters in the county. He drinks alcohol every day, and only stays in the drunken village. Today, he still can't get up until he wakes up."
