Rongcheng, thirty miles south of the White Dragon Pavilion.

The official road leading to Santai Castle has been connected with rice fields on both sides. The official road was originally a dam to hold back water. When the flood waters receded, the embankment was useless, and when the original site of Santai Castle was rebuilt, it was transformed into an official road leading to Santai Castle.

The two sides of the official road are desecrated due to the soil pad road. Inside the ditch are boats full of peasants. The wheel drawer boat is transformed from a flat boat and driven by pedals. Thirty miles of waterway, grandparents and grandchildren walk together, less than an hour to reach. In order to save time, the last boatload of rice was sent home, and the old farmer returned by night boat and anchored in his field.

The cabin can be used for sleeping, and you can see your own fertile land when you go out of the cabin. The harvest is in sight, and after all, he stays in the field and sleeps peacefully.

On the road, there is a pavilion for ten miles, the pavilion father, begging for thieves, patrolling back and forth, and there are also times in the waterway that the water army of the thistle country detours and inspects. Seeing the lights on the ship, Ting's father would shout loudly, and when he heard the answer of the peasants in the cabin, he felt at ease. Within ten miles, whose fields and whose boats are moored are all in the hearts of the two.

"In the old days, there were two pawns in the pavilion, one of which was the pavilion father, and the palm was opened and closed; One is to seek thieves and catch thieves. ”

Although he is a small official, he is dedicated to his duties. The country of Ji is top-down, the official system can work well, and a large number of low-level officials have made great contributions.

Since the withdrawal of the village and the merger of the city, the role of the pavilion post has become more and more important. On weekdays, guarding the roads and fields, inspecting the traitors, guiding the displaced people to the nearest camp, managing the houses, and arranging food and lodging for the officials, the matter is quite complicated.

In the country of thistle, the thief is almost extinct. I heard that the last wave of bandits had been exterminated by Sima Ling of other departments half a month ago. It is said that the newly sealed captain of the king only heard his name, but did not see his person. This's work was all rushed to do by Lord Sima of other departments.

Fifteen miles south of this place is the newly built Santai City. The general stationed in the city is the king's righteous brother. Former military academy captain Guan Yu of the shogunate. All of them are Northland Tigers. When the water receded, the muddy ground was sunburned and turned into hard soil. Several autumn rains have fallen, and within ten miles, the eyes are full of barren grass. I also heard that there are several refugee camps in Santai Castle. Tens of thousands of displaced people have been accepted. Other than that, there was nothing else in the city, but the Guan Yu camp located in the southern urn city.

Let's say that the two of them, the pavilion father and the thief, were patrolling along the road, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind them like thunder.

He hurriedly flashed aside.

Suddenly, a team of men and horses roared past. It is the thistle country horse. is the head of the general, nine feet long, and looks dignified. is the former military captain Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang is also.

Seeing the banner from afar, the two hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.

It must be rushed to the hometown to attend the court meeting and return by night. The capital of Jiguo is Linxiang City, one hundred and sixty-five miles away from Santai City. Guan Yu's crotch is called Chi Su, and he can travel thousands of miles a day. Just more than 100 miles of road, a moment away.

When Xiao rode away, the pavilion father and the thief slowly straightened up. His eyes were full of energy, and his face was full of pride. Because there are three blockades in front of the road, there are ditches and water networks all around, and the rice fields are muddy, and it is difficult for thieves to cross the thunder pond. Therefore, the pavilion father, the thief, and the peasants who park in the fields at night can lie down peacefully and sleep until dawn.

The soldiers of the Ji country are strong and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. is envied by the surroundings, and even more envied by the small night. It's also human nature. The king did not order a retreat, but all those who fled were properly accommodated. However, he did not follow the right path, but leaned towards the evil path. I don't want to farm honestly, I just want to plunder others. How can such a traitor end well in the face of a jealous and hateful king?

Don't you hear that you will cut off your head and enter the knighthood!

The pavilion father and the thief returned with the lantern and walked the ten-mile official road again. When there are lights on the ship, you still need to call. A bumper harvest is in sight, but you can't be sloppy.

"The captain returns to the city, open the city gate quickly!" The guard at the north gate saw it from afar, so he lowered the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and let the cavalry in. All the way through the city, I saw the campfires on both sides of the camp, and the homeless people were mostly sleeping peacefully. Guan Yu lifted the reins slightly, and the red horse immediately slowed down. The knight behind him also reined in his horse, and the rumbling hooves faded into obscurity.

"Captain, why didn't the king accept the exiles as nationals, but instead ordered the registration book to be disposed of?" The person who spoke was Tuoba Gu, a military qu who was born in another Xianbei. He was originally the eldest son of the bald Xianbei former tribe lord Tuoba Jiefen, and his original name was bald Pi Gu. Later, the bald department was renamed Tuoba Beibu, so it was renamed Tuoba Gu. There is also a younger brother, originally called Tuoba Liwei, and has now been renamed Tuoba Wei. Studied in the Ji Guotai Academy. Several uncles, the sons of Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Gai, and Tuoba Ji, either held important positions in the army of Guan and Zhang, or studied in the Jiguo Tai Academy, or apprenticed to the Jiguo Military Academy in the martial arts field. And so on.

Just as Xianbei Dadan transferred the scepter to Liu Bei before he died. Kill the old king and the new king. This is the morality of the grassland. And killing his father and brother is not a big deal in the eyes of Xianbei people. Killing one's mother is a blood feud. Liu Bei placed the Xianbei family in Xilinyi, and the family had no worries about food and clothing. The mother was able to live in peace and live for a long time, Tuoba Gu and Tuoba Wei, and they should be loyal.

Ambition is always proportional to strength.

It's just Tuoba Gu, who is waiting for an army of 500 people, and he is still far from the so-called ambition. Now that we are in the prime of life, we can use it. And once it is completely sinicized, it will no longer be contrary in this life. The grassland is so fierce and desolate, and the Guannai is so rich and beautiful. It is not impossible to gallop across the grassland and crisscross the desert. As long as you settle down in the country of thistle, everything is fine.

Such as the camp of the urn city.

Guan Yu will be promoted to the account.

"The lord asked me to capture Gaoyang City." Guan Yu got straight to the point.

The troops under his command are all eager to try.

Gaoyang City is in the south, 100 miles away from Santai City. It belongs to Boling County. Boling County, in the first year of the Han Dynasty (146 years), Emperor Zheng pursued his father (Liu) Yiling and said Boling, because he thought it was a county, and placed the county and governed Boling. In the second year of Jianhe (148 years), Hou Shuo, the emperor's younger brother, was named the king of the plains, stayed in Boling, and was left behind. Mrs. Ma is a noble person in the Filial Piety Expo Garden, and the three counties of Zhuo County, Hometown, and Liwu between the rivers are Tang Muyi. Shuo is addicted to alcohol, and there are many mistakes, and the emperor ordered Ma nobles to lead the king's family affairs.

"(In the second year of peace) in May, Xinmao, the Empress of Xiaochong was buried in Boling." "(the first year of Yanxi) June Wuyin, amnesty to the world, changed the yuan Yanxi. Bingxu, divided into mountains and placed Boling County, in order to worship the imperial garden mausoleum. ”

"(The first year of Yongkang) is the year (167 years), and the two counties of Boling and Hejian are more abundant and abundant."

These two counties can be compared with Xinfeng, which was built by Gaozu when he was the emperor, and the hometown of Pei County, which was born, and its prosperity is evident.

Nowadays, it is all owned by the River Country. Because of his wealth, he was poisoned and plundered by thieves. The people went all the way north and stayed in Santai City.

Tuoba Ji's son, Jun Qu Hou Tuoba Wei asked: "This city is strong, our troops are all cavalry, if there is no siege weapon, how to attack the city?" ”

Guan Yu said: "How can the cavalry attack the city. Just wait for the city to be broken and cover up all the way. ”

Tuoba Gai's son, Jun Qu Hou Tuoba Xiong then asked, "Who broke the city?" ”

"Other Sima, Koji Yi." Guan Yu replied.

"I see." The generals woke up. The koji clan ascended first, like thunder.

"Fierce soldiers and horses, follow me when the rooster crows." Guan Yu gave an order.

"Whoa!" The crowd responded.
