In fact, Chen Zhi's purpose of staying was to save Mi Zhu, but he was a newcomer, and he played tricks to get the battle merits, if he and Pang Tong and Zhang Liao asked for Mi Zhu's release, then Pang Tong and Zhang Liao would definitely suspect his intentions. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Zhi could only aggrieve Mi Zhu first and stay in the prison first, anyway, Chen Zhi found that Pang Tong had no intention of harming Mi Zhu, and Mi Zhu would not be in danger of his life for a while.

Chen Zhi didn't know that Mi Zhu was now the boss in prison.

The news that Pang Tong had taken Nanyang soon reached Liu Yu.

The fire in Bowangpo burned for a long time before it was extinguished, and Liu Yu's army waited until the fire became smaller before organizing people to extinguish it, and it took almost a day to delay it. The fire burned all the area around Bowangpo to a white ground, but fortunately, there were no people nearby, and the possibility of accidental injuries was very low. Liu Yu looked at this situation and hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang to record it here, and after the whole county of Nanyang was stable, he arranged for the people to come here to open up the wasteland, which must have been able to reduce a lot of strength. The fire has burned all the trees and grass, so the land here must be very fertile and the harvest will be good.

Liu Yu's thoughts coincided with Zhuge Liang's thoughts, and Zhuge Liang also thought so. Zhuge Liang now knows Liu Yu's vision, and he is really too far-sighted.

When the army continued to advance, Pang Tong's news was just delivered.

Liu Yu originally thought that Pang Tong and Zhang Liao would stop Liu Bei at most, and he didn't expect them to gain much. I didn't expect Pang Tong and Zhang Liao to give Liu Yu such a big surprise, not only thwarting Liu Bei's conspiracy to leave with the people, but also taking Nanyang City, saving Liu Yu a lot of effort.

Liu Yu summoned all the Wenchen generals who accompanied the army, and then said with a smile: "Look at it, Shiyuan and Wenyuan actually broke Liu Bei's treacherous plan, and also took down the entire Nanyang City, and now Nanyang City has returned to my rule." Shi Yuan and Wen Yuan's contributions are really great. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Everyone congratulated.

"Your Majesty, as soon as Nanyang City is over, Liu Bei and Liu Qi escape, then no one in Nanyang County will dare to resist Wang Shi, Your Majesty should speed up, and after arriving in Nanyang, the Holy Decree will make the entire Nanyang settle down." Chen Gong came out and said.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "What the public station said is right, Nanyang is worry-free. ”

Both Fu Zhu and Zhuge Liang had heavy faces, which made Liu Yu feel strange and asked, "Gonghe and Kong Ming, why do you look so sad, do you have any doubts?" ”

Zhuge Liang took a step back, which meant to let Fu Zhu say that with his intelligence, he could know that Fu Zhu thought the same as him, and if Fu Zhu didn't say it all right, then he would add it.

Zhuge Liang is respectful of Frustration, and Frustration also understands the intention, as a more senior strategist, Frustration feels that he deserves such treatment.

"Your Majesty, Shi Yuan is in the battle report, Liu Bei was ready to transfer all the people of Nanyang to Jiangxia, but was defeated by Shi Yuan and did not succeed. But what kind of person is Liu Bei, he will definitely transport all the grain, grass and money in Nanyang City. And Nanyang City is also short of food now, and Shiyuan can only use military food now. I'm afraid that Shiyuan's grain and grass are not enough now, and if there is any problem at this time, Nanyang City will be in turmoil. Frustrated, he said.

Zhuge Liang saw that what he said was the same as what he thought, and echoed: "The minister also thinks so. ”

"I have food in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart. This has been the last word since ancient times! Liu Yu nodded and said: "In that case, let Yun Chang lead five thousand soldiers and horses and two thousand stones of grain and grass to Nanyang first, so that Shiyuan and them need it from time to time!" ”

"Your Majesty, there are so many people in Nanyang. Our army's food and grass are not so abundant, and with the burden of the people of Nanyang, I am afraid that the road to the south will be very difficult. Tian Feng suddenly thought of the next situation of his army, and he was even more worried.

"Yuan Hao, don't worry about this matter!" Liu Yu smiled, Guan Yu was not very worried about this.

Tian Feng couldn't figure out why Liu Yu was so sure and relieved at first, until he thought of the meaning of Nanyang's capture, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Dian Wei and Lu Bu couldn't figure it out when they touched their heads, and Dian Wei asked out loud: "Your Majesty, this grain and grass is going to be insufficient, we should transfer grain and grass from other places, why is it worry-free?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head with a smile, Dian Wei is a military general, and it is normal to think that he can't go so deep. But Dian Wei is Liu Yu's absolute confidant, Liu Yu can't embarrass Dian Wei in person, this is a slap in the face, so Liu Yu made a look at Zhuge Liang.

What a smart person Zhuge Liang was, he immediately understood, came to Dian Wei and explained: "General Dian, who doesn't want Nanyang City to be captured by us the most?" That is Cai Mao and Liu Cong in Xiangyang. Nanyang is the barrier of Xiangyang, and if Nanyang is lost, then Xiangyang is under the front of our army. There are only two options for Liu Cong and Cai Mao, one is to surrender and the other is to fight. It is estimated that there is a high probability that they will choose to surrender. Therefore, as long as Liu Cong and Cai Mao surrender, then the problem of food and grass for our army can be easily solved. ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Dian Wei understood, and said with a smile: "Those two gutless bandits will definitely surrender." ”

As soon as Dian Wei said this, everyone was also happy, and they all laughed softly.

"Well, without further ado! The clouds are out of the ranks! I ordered you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers and 2,000 stones of grain and grass to Nanyang quickly to solve the urgent need of Nanyang City. Liu Yu stopped everyone's noise.

Guan Yu came out of the queue and said respectfully: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Liu Yu said again: "The army continues to advance, be sure to reach Nanyang City as soon as possible!" ”

"Commandment!" All of them were given orders.

Guan Yu couldn't wait to gather two thousand soldiers and horses, and then got two thousand stones of grain and grass from Fu Zhi, who was in charge of logistics. Frustrated and kept telling Guan Yu not to make any mistakes, Guan Yu's ears were wide when he heard it.

It's no wonder that these two thousand stones of grain and grass are life-saving, and the consequences of losing them will be great. Liu Yu didn't bring much grain and grass this time, and he wanted to supply it on the spot in Nanyang County, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, which led to a change in the previous plan, so the frustration of managing the logistics of grain and grass also became picky.

When Guan Yu was about to leave, Liu Yu ordered someone to call him over. Guan Yu thought to himself, wouldn't he be telling me to be careful with grain and grass again, could it be that a certain family is so uneasy to do things?

Guan Yu came to Liu Yu with doubts.

Liu Yu said to him: "Yun Chang, Shi Yuan's report mentions that one of Liu Beijun's troops named Chen Zhi has come over, I want to test whether he surrenders by fraud, you will test it first after you go over." There was also a scribe captured by Shiyuan, whose name was not said. You are more familiar with Liu Bei, you see if it is reliable. Convince them if it's reliable. ”

Liu Yu had heard of Chen Dao, but with Liu Yu's impression, Chen Zhi seemed to be Liu Bei's personal guard, and the evaluation of him in history was very high, and it could be said that he was loyal, Liu Yu was a little suspicious of Chen Zhi's sincerity, and even suspected that Chen Zhi had surrendered. As for the captured scribes, Liu Yu just adhered to the principle that waste is shameful, as long as he was talented, he would use it, and if he couldn't use it, it was a big deal that Liu Yu secretly ordered Pang Tong to kill him.

So that's what happened! Guan Yu understood in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry! The last general will definitely live up to the trust! ”

These two thousand stones of grain and grass are not a small amount, although Guan Yu sped up his speed in order to hurry, he didn't dare to be careful about the situation on the road. Nanyang is now a period of war, and there are still a lot of grass lovers, although Guan Yu is not afraid of these grass cowards, but he must also be careful.

In fact, Guan Yu thought too much, even if there were grass cowards who were bold, they didn't dare to confront Liu Yu's army, Liu Yu was known as a million army, and these grass cowards had already been frightened. A little bold, but the mountain gate is closed to restrain his subordinates from going out. The timid ones all left Nanyang directly.

Guan Yu moved forward safely all the way, and it took half a day to finally arrive in Nanyang.

Hearing that troops were coming to transport grain and grass, Pang Tong and Zhang Liao of Nanyang City were overjoyed, and hurriedly came out with all the generals to greet them.

As soon as Zhang Liao saw that it was Guan Yu, a fellow villager, he immediately said happily: "Yun Chang, hard work!" ”

"Don't work hard, do things for Your Majesty! That's what should be done. Come, Wenyuan, Shiyuan, there are two thousand stones of grain and grass here, and there is not a single penny. Guan Yu said with a smile.

Pang Tong looked at so much grain and grass, and his heart was finally steady, so he asked, "Yun Chang, when will Your Majesty's army arrive?" ”

Guan Yu said: "Your Majesty's army has a large number of people, and it is estimated that it will take a day or two to march. A certain brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he could cooperate with the two of them to defend the city together! ”

"Thank you for the clouds." Pang Tong said with a smile.

Nanyang City has so many troops, and it is still a little difficult to maintain the stability of Nanyang City. With Guan Yu's 5,000 soldiers and horses, Pang Tong was confident that he would be able to ensure that Nanyang City would not be lost.

When Guan Yu, Pang Tong and Zhang Liao were talking, Chen Zhi came to them and saluted Guan Yu and said, "Uncle Chen, the young general, has seen the military marquis!" ”

Guan Yu's brows furrowed, this guy really doesn't know how to measure, and a few of his big names actually came out to interject when they were talking. Zhang Liao was also dissatisfied with Chen Dao's performance, what is this kid doing.

Pang Tongyi saw that the two were displeased, so he smiled and said, "Yun Chang, this is the new Chen Shuzhi." This Nanyang City can be taken without a single soldier, but it has his credit. ”

Guan Yu finally remembered who it was, it turned out to be the one Liu Yu said, and Liu Yu also asked Guan Yu to test it.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and asked, "I heard that you are quite important to Liu Xuande, but why do you want to serve Your Majesty." Liu Xuande treats you well, but you are rebellious and don't know the word loyalty? ”

Pang Tong and Zhang Liao's faces changed, Guan Yu is full of heart. Although Zhang Liao didn't like Chen Dao, he didn't want Chen Zhi to be blamed by Guan Yu, so he was about to speak out, but Pang Tong stopped him. Pang Tong knew that Guan Yu's character would not do such a thing, this must have been ordered by Liu Yu, and they absolutely could not interfere.

Chen Zhi was asked by Guan Yu like this, and he was a little angry all of a sudden, others said his words, Chen Zhi may not be able to refute it, but you Guan Yu also stayed with Liu Bei, or a righteous brother, you can betray Liu Bei, and you actually come to suspect Chen Dao.

"Dare to let General Guan know that the young general only has a big man in his heart. As for why you are serving Your Majesty at this time, do you think this is a bit too much, General? Your Majesty's holy light shines brightly, and the young general will know his way back and serve His Majesty, wouldn't it be to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. What's more, the young general is learning from you. Chen Zhi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The meaning of Chen Dao's words was very sharp, and Guan Yu also understood that this kid was commanding his army.

"What a fanged mouth!" Guan Yu's eyes widened, and he had the posture of starting a fight if he didn't agree with him.

Guan Yu was the most taboo for others to say this, and his murderous intent was moved. Chen Zhi felt Guan Yu's murderous aura, and regretted it in his heart, Guan Yu's murderous aura was too strong for him to bear.

Pang Tong hurriedly came out and said, "Yun Chang, you must be tired all the way here. Let's go to the city and rest first. ”

"Okay, for Shi Yuan and Wen Yuan's sake. I'm going to spare you once. Remember, you must do a good job for Your Majesty in the future, if anything goes wrong, it will kill you with a knife! Guan Yu said with an unkind face, but the murderous aura in his body also stopped.

Chen Zhi suddenly felt a sense of relief, he just tried to speak quickly, and underestimated Guan Yu's power.

Guan Yu snorted coldly and walked into Nanyang City with Zhang Liao.

Pang Tong saw that Chen Zhi was still in a daze, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Haven't recovered yet? ”

Chen Zhi was reminded by Pang Tongyi, and suddenly came to his senses, if Pang Tong hadn't interjected just now, he might have been beaten by Guan Yu, Chen Zhi said gratefully: "The young general, thank you for the words of the military advisor just now." ”

"Actually, you're not stupid, you're just a little young. Young people should remember one thing, it is okay to be arrogant, but there are too many masters under His Majesty's command, I advise you, doing things under Your Majesty is not as good as Liu Xuande. A lot of people here are hidden. Even I don't dare to be too high-profile. Pang Tong said lightly.

"Thank you, Strategist! The youngster got it. Chen Zhi said in a deep voice.

"You don't have to be discouraged, look at your ability and intelligence, you will definitely be valued by Your Majesty." Pang Tong still comforted Chen Zhi, lest Chen Zhi have other thoughts in his heart.

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "The young general knows, and he will pay attention to it in the future." ”

"Let's go, let's go into town together." After Pang Tong finished speaking, he took Chen Zhi into Nanyang City together.

Chen Zhi kept thinking in his heart: he may have a lot to learn from Liu Yu, and isn't this ugly monster in front of him a good object to learn.

Pang Tong sneezed and said suspiciously: "Why do you sneeze at noon?" ”

Chen Zhi hurriedly put away his inner thoughts, Pang Tong would not be so sensitive.

If Pang Tong knew that Chen Zhi said in his heart that he was ugly, he would definitely regret helping Chen Zhi speak before.
