Chapter 572 Triumph and Three (1)
Because Ma Su did not want to be too much, he restrained everyone from marching in secret on the road, Shamoke's five thousand barbarians successfully retreated to the Xiongxi tribe.
The three of them arranged their troops at the secret camp left by Ma Su and immediately returned to Shajiazhai. They unexpectedly saw Shaqiu, who was supposed to be in Yueli.
After all, Wuling had been occupied by Sun Quan. Before going to war, Shamoke had moved all the important figures of Shajiazhai to Yueli for safety reasons.
As the steward of Shamoke's Mandate, Shaqiu arranged for the aftermath of his family in Yueli.
After Ma Su arrived in Jingzhou, he sent a letter to his wife Sha Dong, mentioning that his fourth brother Ma Liang was also in Shamoke's army.
After Sha Qiu learned that Ma Liang was also following Shamoke's army, he was even more worried about his brother Shamoke, and he became more worried about Ma Liang.
After all the tribesmen in Yueli settled down, Sha Qiu could no longer stay and found an excuse to return to Shajiazhai.
Sha Qiu has a great say in the Manchu Palace, but she never abuses power and is deeply loved by the tribe.
In addition, Sha Qiu has been staying in the boudoir, and there are still many admirers in the clan. They spontaneously organized and formed a team of hundreds of people to protect Sha Qiu.
Sha Qiu is not a person who attracts bees and butterflies. He is very disgusted with so many men around him, so he was going to be dismissed.
But thinking of the dangerous situation of Shamoke and Ma Liang, he simply recruited hundreds of people in the name of the Barbarian Palace to form a guard of 500 people, preparing to respond to Shamoke if necessary.
Shamoke and Ma Liang both returned, and Sha Qiu's heart was relieved.
Seeing Sha Qiu's affectionate eyes, Ma Liang remembered the days he had been together before, and his face also showed warmth.
Seeing Ma Liang and his sister Sha Qiu look? Shamoke felt ache in his heart.
Shamoke had traveled in Xiangyang for many years and knew that a famous man like Ma Liang was very concerned about his reputation, and he did not dare to force Ma Liang to marry his sister.
Thinking of his about to commit suicide and be no longer the noble barbarian king, Shamoke was somewhat disappointed.
Shamoke is the king of barbarians, but he is helpless about his sister's unrequited love.
How to say it? It was because of his acceptance of Ma Liang that Sha Qiu never married for life.
So? The affairs of Shaqiu and Ma Liang have always been a concern for Shamoke.
I'm going to retire now? Of course, Shamoko has to find a way to solve it.
Suddenly, Shamoko remembered that Ma Liang had always been his military advisor, and now even his powerful general on the battlefield was "defeated and died"? How could Ma Liang, a weak scholar, survive alone? Why not persuade Ma Liang to "death together"!
Once news of Ma Liang's death on the battlefield was also heard? He could live in seclusion in Yueli? Then he stayed with his sister? Isn't that a good thing?
So Shamoko called Ma Liang and Ma Su alone? He began to persuade Ma Liang to commit suicide and pry his name.
As soon as Shamoke spoke, Ma Liang knew what he meant? Naturally, he would not agree easily.
But under Shamoke's soft and hard work, Ma Liang felt very guilty when he remembered that Sha Qiu had been waiting for him for more than ten years.
I remembered again since I joined Liu Bei? Although I had a prosperous career, I was always unsuccessful at work.
First, they had disagreements with Guan Yu in Jingzhou and were left aside? They had to rely on Ding You to retreat.
Although the final outcome shows that my worries are correct? It has also been reused by Liu Bei.
But at the critical moment, not only was it impossible to convince Liu Bei to give up the Eastern Expedition, but it was even useless to oppose the camp. Ma Liang had to rely on Zhuge Liang's power.
But things went against my wishes. Ma Liang was too close to Zhuge Liang, which aroused Liu Bei's disgust and did not accept Zhuge Liang's opinion, which led to a complete defeat.
This failure, Ma Liang naturally could not put the blame on Liu Bei.
As an official who Liu Bei had no longer caught a cold, he was a defeated general after returning to Xichuan and must have done nothing.
Taking this opportunity to live in seclusion may not be a retreat strategy.
It is impossible for Ma Liang to be unmoved by Sha Qiu's beauty!
Sha Qiu, who is nearly thirty years old, has another intoxicating mature charm, which makes Ma Liang very moved.
These nights, Ma Liang led his troops to march into the general without authorization, was afraid of explaining to Liu Bei that he often couldn't sleep all night and fell asleep occasionally. He often met Sha Qiu in his dreams.
During the day, Ma Liang couldn't help but want to be with Sha Qiu, but he was ashamed to say that he was suffering.
As the attendant of Shu Han, Ma Liang valued his reputation more.
Now Shamoko has proposed the suggestion of "death together", and Ma Liang has the opportunity to let go of everything and be with Sha Qiu legitimately, and in the end he is also moved.
Through discussions with Ma Su, Ma Su also supported Ma Liang's residency in Yueli, and agreed to return to Chengdu to continue serving as an official in the court to ensure the interests of the family.
Shamoke was very happy to learn about Ma Liang's decision.
During this retreat, Shamoko retreated with advancement and led the army to retreat unstoppably.
But Liu Bei was defeated in Jingzhou and his entire army was wiped out.
When the news came, Shamoko was completely disappointed and no longer had the ambition to unify the barbarians!
He didn't want to stay in Wuling any longer, so he brought Ma Su and Ma Liang to determine the successor of the Barbarian King.
After careful consideration, Shamoke believed that the current tribe of the Youxi tribe is smart and the most suitable candidate.
Shamoko chose Xiang Zhiqiang, which is also a bit selfish.
Because Xiang Zhiqiang's martial arts and abilities are the best choice, and he has always been intimate with the Xiongxi tribe.
But Ma Su insisted that Shi Bo, the current clan leader of the Chenxi tribe, succeeded the Barbarian King, which made Shamoke very puzzled.
Because the Chenxi tribe and Ma Su had no friendship, the Shi family and the Ma family had many grudges and entanglements.
If Shi Bo succeeded the Barbarian King, the transaction between the Ma family and the barbarians would definitely not be able to continue.
But these Ma Su had already resolved. The Ma family had long handed over their business with the barbarians to their partner Sun Lang. Ma Xian shifted the focus of the business to Xiliang, mainly using tea and silk to exchange for horses, and the profits were even more abundant.
Moreover, after Sun Lang took over the barbarian business, his safety was guaranteed. With Sun Lang and Ma Su's personal relationship, the profits were also indispensable for the Ma family.
Ma Su believed that although Shi Bo was more fame and fortune, he was not a person who was obsessed with profit and still knew how to advance and retreat.
Moreover, Shi Bo is still above Xiangzhi and strong in his management ability.
Although suppressed by the Ma family, the Chenxi tribe is still the best developed among the five major tribes.
The most important thing is that Shi Bo has a very harmonious relationship with Jiangdong. He was once the spokesperson for Sun Quan in Wuling Man. He succeeded as the Barbarian King, and was not afraid of Sun Quan sending troops to retaliate.
The late Barbarian King Shamoke left his will and allowed Shi Bo to succeed the Barbarian King, which reflected Shamoke's selflessness and knowledge of others and responsibilities.
Shi Bo was flattered. After taking over, he would repay his favor and would definitely treat Xiongxi tribe differently. How could he be unfavorable to Xiongxi tribe any longer?
Moreover, if Shi Bo wants to be a good barbarian king, he must treat the Xiongxi tribe well in exchange for a good reputation of repaying kindness.
After hearing Ma Su's reasons stated, Ma Liang first agreed, and Shamoko also agreed.
Finally, Shamoke wrote down his last order and asked Sha Qiu to go to Chenxi tribe in person and handed over all the rights of the Barbarian Palace.
From beginning to end, neither Shamoke nor Ma Liang showed up. They arrived in Yueli and lived in seclusion in the mountains, expiring a peaceful life.
For the benefit of the family, Ma Su had to return to Chengdu again and continue to act as a staff member under Zhuge Liang.
