Li Wei was madly tortured by Wang Yue in an unknown place, while Guan Ning came to Dai County alone.

The last time I came, the entire Dai County seemed to be facing a great enemy, the doors of every house were closed, and the whole street was almost deserted, and then a few walkers were also in a hurry, as if there was something terrible behind them.

This time I came to Dai County again, the city gate was already heavily guarded, and all the city gate guards still covered their cheeks with white cloths and only showed a pair of eyes, but the city gate was not closed, and the city gate was slowly getting vehicles and pedestrians, although most of them were still pulling herbs, and most of them were doctors.

Entering the city gate, there are still not many pedestrians on the street, and everyone is still in such a hurry, but the feeling of tension and panic in the whole city is indeed gone, and the hearts of the people have settled down, and some of the shops along the street have opened their doors and started to open, most of them are grain shops and some wine shops, but the wine shops do not accept customers, but sell some inventory of wine, meat, vegetables and vegetables to people at a discount. There were also many servants at the door of the grain shop, waiting for the men inside to hand them the packed grain, and then they would deliver it to the people living in the city one by one.

Guan Ning rode his horse and walked to the county guard's mansion leisurely, "Please say Tongbing, Beihai Guan Ning begged to see General Tian Yu." ”

The name "Beihai Guan Ning" is now a big man, even if it is just a gatekeeper, he will be in awe, and the little official will rush inside to find Tian Yu after returning to a nondescript Confucian etiquette, and Guan Ning refused the kindness of the doorman to invite him in, and stood at the gate of the county guard mansion without humility or arrogance.

"Mr. Guan!" Tian Yu's voice came from the distance, and Xian Yufu and .... Barefoot Cao Zhang.

Guan Ning's eyes lowered and saw Cao Zhang, who was barefoot, running over quickly, his face twitched, and then he returned to normal.

When the three of them came to Guan Ning's side, they were about to make a big salute to greet them, Guan Ning hurriedly grabbed Tian Yu and notified them to stop Cao Zhang and Xian Yufu, "Hurry back, I'm ashamed!" After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Cao Zhang's bare feet.

Cao Zhang was also a little embarrassed at this time, as soon as he heard that Guan Ning was coming, he didn't care about anything else, he thought that his father had greeted Xu Yu barefoot, and he was moved by the other party at once, and regardless of what time it was, he flew up and kicked his boots out and wiped off his socks, and then caught up with Tian Yu and came out with them to greet Guan Ning, and when he reacted in the strange eyes of the two, he was almost at the door, so he could only run over.

The four of them entered the main hall, and the first thing Guan Ning said after taking his seat was to look at Cao Zhang and say, "This, why don't you go and put on shoes first?" ”

"Ahem, a certain family will say goodbye first." Cao Zhang's face turned red, turned around and went back.

After Cao Zhang left, Xian Yufu looked at Tian Yu and then at Guan Ning, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said very interestingly that he still had something to do, then turned his head and went out, and also dispersed all the guards in the mansion and closed the gate.

When there were only the two of them left in the entire main hall, Tian Yu also relaxed, "I didn't expect to have the opportunity to talk to you face-to-face like this." ”

"You're saying the same thing as I'm going to die."

"You can't help but be weak all day long, maybe you won't be there one day" Tian Yu looked at Guan Ning, who was a little pale, and pouted.

Guan Ning looked down at his eight-foot-tall and very muscular figure, "Where did you see it?" ”

"Your face is too white, like a girl, at first glance, it's not our Youzhou man!"

"I'm from Beihai!"

"You have lived in Liaodong for so long, and your face is still so white, you are not a gentleman." Tian Yu's mouth has never been so scolding, in front of others, he has always been a serious-looking, upright guy, that is, in his son Tian Pengzu, there may be a trace of bad taste from time to time.

"You don't cultivate when you're old, and if you're so unobtrusive, be careful that your reputation will be ruined when you're old."

"Thanks to you, the old man has never said that he is an undefeated god of war, and a certain family has always said that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers."

"You said that you are old and don't cultivate, it's not good to stay under Liu Xuande, what do you have to do with Gongsun Zhan in this troubled water, you look at Zhao Zilong, and now there is a general of the Ling Army, and all the escorts of Liu Bei are in the limelight in Yizhou."

"A certain family has long persuaded him, his character is under the hands of Xuande Gong, sooner or later he will offend people, sure enough, Xuande Gong has just improved, he offended most of the military ministers under Xuande Gong, if his stubborn character does not change, sooner or later even Xuande Gong will not allow him."

"If Liu Xuande can't even tolerate a stubborn Zhao Yun, will he be Mingjun?"

"Yes!"

"You're really the same as ever, shameless"

"Cheng Zhongde slaughtered the people, killed people for meat and used human flesh to make dried meat, this is a famous minister?" Tian Yu looked at Guan Ning lightly.

"Cheng Yu is too ruthless, he is arrogant and too extreme, he...."Guan Ning was halfway through his speech, but he couldn't say the rest of the words.

"He is working hard for the sake of the cold family, and for the great cause of King Wei, he is even more unrepentant, whether he is a friend or a minister, he is a first-class strange man in the world, but I am sorry for the people in the world!" Tian Yu finished the rest of the words for him.

"Hearing what Liu Xuande has done over the years, he has changed a lot."

"Indeed, although the Duke of Xuande in his early years was benevolent and eager to treat people, he was not heroic at all, and he was not ruthless, so whether he was a passerby in the princes' discussion of Dong, or wandering in the Central Plains, or entering Xuzhou later, he has always been unstable."

"Liu Xuande in the early years made people feel sorry, so although a group of people gathered around him, most of them were born recklessly." Guan Ning also agreed with Tian Yu's words very much, before entering Jingzhou, Liu Xuande also had a lot of people around him, the first Guan Zhang two generals, and then the envoy Jian Yong can be regarded as a clever tongue, if it weren't for Liu Bei's poor power, his light is definitely more than these, although Sun Qian can be regarded as a famous teacher, but he has never done his best, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu were all separated from him at the beginning, Chen Gui Chen Deng's father and son left him, Mi Zhu Mi Fang is a businessman, and the rest of Liu Pi Gong Du, Zhou Cang Liao Hua are all bandits and bandits and bandits and yellow turban remnants, count, There really isn't anyone around who can handle it.

"People always have to learn to grow, Xuande Gong since the loss of Xuzhou, his temperament began to change greatly, although his temperament has become not so sincere, but in this world only heroes can succeed." Tian Yu raised his head, and his tone was slightly emotional.

"Don't talk about crossing the river with the people at the beginning, just because he went to Yizhou and didn't say that he would settle the people's hearts, the first thing was to divide the heroes, I knew that Liu Xuande was no longer the Liu Xuande who was dedicated to the people, I really don't know what you still think about him?"

"You always have to be reasonable, at the beginning, Xuande Gong was dedicated to the people, and he did not say anything about the people everywhere he passed, but also did not hesitate to turn his face with Huangfu Song for the sake of the Yellow Turban, and did not hesitate to offend the Manchu magnates in order to give those mud legs in your mouth a way to live, and did not hesitate to give all his efforts to the waste for the justice in your mouth, but in exchange for what, no one was willing to help him, and the family was unwilling, even the Hanmen disdained him, why, isn't it because he only has benevolence and righteousness, Is there only justice and no heroic spirit that you hope? Tian Yu said and suddenly became a little angry, "Now that he has it, he does not hesitate to cross the river with the people for his own safety, doesn't he want to be able to take them away safely?" ”

Guan Ning looked at Tian Yu, who was suddenly angry, and could only sigh heavily, but he couldn't say anything against it.

"I'm late, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Just when the two sides were in embarrassment, Cao Zhang's loud voice appeared at the door.

Tian Yu looked at Cao Zhang, who broke in, and let out a sigh, "Does the prince have good wine?" ”

Cao Zhang looked at Tian Yu with a strange expression, "Shouldn't you be more familiar with this place than me?" ”

"Yes, I'm familiar with this place." Tian Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then stood up and stretched, "There is no one left, I'll go and move a few jars of good wine for you!" ”

"General Tian, I'll help you" Cao Zhang thought that Tian Yu was also recovering from a serious illness, and took the initiative to run to Tian Yu's side, and Tian Yu couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, Tian Yu, who looked helpless and was carrying a jar of wine, and Cao Zhang, who was carrying four or five jars of good wine, appeared in front of Guan Ning.

"You're going to let me give the hope of the poor door to such a thing?" Guan Ning looked at Cao Zhang, who was pouring wine for himself, and couldn't help it, turned his head to Tian Yu and asked, "Can you tell me what you think?" ”

"You have a good Liaodong accent." Tian Yu made a little joke first, "Is there any other choice for Hanmen now?" ”

"Who knows what the future holds?"

"Dongwu has been occupied by the four great families, even if the fierce tiger and the indisputable lion that dominated the world back then have successively defeated Jianghuai, if it weren't for a thick-faced and black-hearted Sun Zhongmou who could suppress them, it's hard to say what the surname of Jiangdong is now."

Guan Ning glanced at Tian Yu, "The land of Jiangdong is more than self-preservation, and the progress is insufficient, the two roads he is advancing have been locked, and the land of Hefei has all the courage to be beaten by Zhang Wenyuan, as for the land of Jingxiang, if no one helps them, let alone Cao Ren, they can't even pass Guan Yu's pass." ”

"Then let's talk about Xuande Gong, now you have the strength and the potential to have potential, which can be regarded as a good choice, but you still don't have a chance."

"Yes, Originally, Liu Xuande was only supported by the Jingxiang family, and the strength under his command was only Jingzhou and the old man before, but now there is not only the Yizhou family but also the Dongzhou lineage left by Liu Yan and his son before, and now he can still screw this group of people together with the war with the King of Wei, but..."

"But my father will be able to say that the big-eared thief was defeated in Hanzhong!" Cao Zhang felt that his opportunity had come, and what he said was majestic and majestic.

Tian Yu regretted giving Cao Zhang an idea, "But this time is not good for me, if the time is short, not only will it be useless, but it will make them resentful because of the loss of their respective strengths, if it is long, Yizhou's vitality will be hurt!" ”

Guan Ning praised this, "So it depends on how long King Wei wants to hold on, it is obvious that someone around King Wei also discovered this, and used the word procrastination to consume Liu Bei in Hanzhong, and at the same time moved all the people of Hanzhong and did not leave one to Liu Bei." ”

"If it is found in the current form, Xuande Gong's strength will definitely be greatly damaged after this battle, and if he wants to break the situation, he can only find a way from other directions!"

"I plan to take my apprentice to Jingzhou for a while now, do you have any good recommendations?"

"It's too early for you to go now, it's more appropriate next year, if you want to go to a certain house and have some friendship with Yun Chang, when the time comes, you can write a letter, and he will definitely take care of you."

"It's just that I have this idea, and I still have a lot to prepare." Tian Yu took a sip of wine, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was tasting the charm of this wine.

"Just now you said that my father would fail in Hanzhong?" Tian Yu and Guan Ning were swimming in the sea of fine wine, when they were interrupted by Cao Zhang's words.

Although Tian Yu was very helpless, he still wanted to explain it to him clearly, "Marquis Yanling, don't keep your mind on the battlefield, you have to look at other things!" ”

"What else?"

"King Wei didn't want to take Hanzhong at all, he didn't want to take Hanzhong from beginning to end, otherwise he wouldn't have let General Miaocai lead the division into Hanzhong!"

"Uncle Miaocai's tiger is on the right side of the pass, making the entire Xiliang tremble, if it weren't for Liu Bei's trick, how could he kill Uncle Miaocai!"

"Then Marquis Yan Ling, do you know how your wonderful uncle got the prestige of the Tiger Bu Guanyou?"

"With thousands of warriors, they traveled 800 miles in three days to Jincheng, and a battle was possible, so that Naxi Liangjin Ma Chao and the Yellow River Jiuqu Han were homeless, which made my father take advantage of the loophole and use a discord to let them fight each other!"

"And then?"

"Then that Jin Ma Chao relied on his prestige in Xiliang to rely on the land of Yongliang and did not leave, or did my Miaocai uncle only use his own people to rush left and right to beat the entire Xiliang like a rag pocket, which made Ma Mengqi flee in embarrassment, pacified the entire Yongliang and Guanzhong, and since then has gained the prestige of Hubu Guanyou."

"Then you also said that he relied on his own troops and horses, surprise attacks, surprise attacks, and constant surprise attacks, General Xiahou Miaocai was the best at surprise attacks, so there was no problem with letting him go to Hanzhong, and he also took almost the entire Hanzhong land in a short period of time as King Wei thought."

"Exactly, Uncle Miaocai's method of attacking Hanzhong makes people can't help but shine, and it can be called a model for our army."

"But General Xiahou is not good at guarding!" Tian Yu was a little angry, "At that time, King Wei was surrounded by two generals, Yu Ban and Xu Huang, not to mention the rookie Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, that is, your uncle was a fierce general on defense, but why did King Wei use Xiahou Miaocai, who could not defend the most?" ”

"Because... Because... Uncle Miaocai has taken the land of Hanzhong, and it is not good to change generals..."Although Cao Zhang said it with a stiff neck, the more he said it, the quieter his voice became.

"Okay, don't be so angry, maybe things aren't what you think." Guan Ning looked at Tian Yu with an angry face, and persuaded him loudly, "Don't blame him, Guo Rang also thought of the past, and there were some fluctuations in his heart." ”

"I won't blame you, Mr. thinks Cao is too stingy." Cao Zhang waved his hand indifferently, looking at Tian Yu, who was drinking one cup after another, "The country let the general he..."

"How much does Aki Shizi know about Tian Guorang?"

"I only know that the general of the country was once a heavy general under Gongsun Zhan, and he made Wuhuan frightened for Gongsun Zhan to garrison the northern frontier, and he was afraid to fight for his father to protect us, and he became the god of war in the northern Xinjiang by the alien race of my Han Dynasty."

"Do you know his past?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Tian Guorang was also a handsome man from my humble family, and he was second only to Zhicai and Fengxiao back then." Guan Ning also took a sip of wine, and looked at Tian Yu's head, which also had a wisp of silver on his head, and couldn't help but sigh, "He was also a romantic figure back then, but time has changed!" ”

"The general of the country is also from a poor family?"

"Yes, it's just that he and Fengxiao don't see each other, Guo Fengxiao is a prodigal son, and he knows how to drink and make trouble all the time, and Tian Yu was a stuffy gourd when he was young, with a straight face and everyone owes him money, these two people don't look down on anyone."

"Then Guo Fengxiao followed Xi Zhicai to your father, and Tian Guorang did find the master in his mind, Liu Xuande, who asked for the people's life."

"Liu Da'er sells his reputation and reputation, how can he be worthy of the kingdom to let the general assist!"

"Zhang Shizi's words are indeed wrong, the current Liu Xuande is indeed a hypocrite, but Liu Xuande twenty years ago, he was really dedicated to the people, no matter who saw it, he couldn't say a bad word!"

"Then why did it end up like this?"

"Because of disappointment, but also because of growth." Guan Ning took another sip of wine, "Liu Xuande saw that the Yellow Turban Army was actually a group of peasants who couldn't get enough to eat, so he wanted to save those surrendered soldiers from Huangfu Song, but he failed, and he hated Huangfu Song." ”

"He spoke for the Yellow Turban Army, and wanted them to be evil, but he failed, and was ridiculed by the Manchu Dynasty, and only gave him an Anxi County Lieutenant, and in the end he didn't even have this position."

"If he wanders in the Central Plains on the frontier, as long as he does not do anything bad to the people at the bottom, as long as he can make the lives of the people below better, he is willing to do anything!"

But what did he get in the end? No one looks up to him, except for some bandits and grass coars, by the way, there is the only one who believes in him and takes the initiative to serve, Tian Guorang! ”

"Liu Bei, who got Tian Guorang, gradually knew what he should do, he quit the plains and rushed to Beihai, and befriended Kong Rong and became famous, you say it's ridiculous, he has been dedicated to serving the people for several years, and it is indeed more effective than Kong Beihai to say a word."

"Liu Bei, who gained fame, went to Xuzhou again, although Xuzhou was finally kept because of Lu Bu, but Liu Xuande still had hope of entering Xuzhou, but this hope was almost gone just because Cao Bao disagreed."

"Gave up his childhood sweetheart, married the daughter of the Mi family, and climbed into the friendship of the Chen family, so that Liu Bei could barely become a Xuzhou pastor."

"At this time, Liu Bei finally discovered that no matter how good the brains of the Hanmen are, they are not as good as the relationship between the wealthy families."
