On the twenty-sixth day of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, it was a Monday on February 5 of the first year of Xia.

The tomb of Ganning in Jingshan has been repaired, and the round arch is covered with green bricks, and the low wall of blue bricks is built to leave a gap facing south, and on the left and right of the gap is a pair of simple elephants polished with white stone.

On the edge of this tomb is a small tomb of ordinary size.

Gan Shu has been here for nearly a month, and he is already familiar with every grass and tree here.

Because Gan Ning was buried here by Tian Xin, and at that time Guan Ping, Yu Ban and others attended the funeral together, this mountain was moved to this Juntun, Mintun people, and Jing Man called General Mountain, at the foot of the mountain set up a stone tablet, engraved 'Xingba General' four words.

In front of this stele, Ma Bingzheng, the son of Ma Liang, is pacing and wandering, he is nineteen years old, and has been recruited by Xiahou Lan, the county guard of Xiangyang County, as the county guard of the palace, and often does some communication work to convey official documents.

There are various methods of calculating the filial piety period of Ganshu, the longest of which will not be completed until October of next year, and the most recent will be completed in the first month of the first year of Zhangwu next year.

Zhaoyangyi implements the new summer calendar, and it is at the end of the Han calendar, so it is customary to raise a filial piety.

It was impossible for Tian Xin to come to see Ganshu in person, so he sent Yu Zhong to drive a bus to Jiangjun Mountain to recruit Ganshu as filial piety, but Ganshu refused.

After Yu Zhong returned to Zhaoyangyi, Guo Mu, the guard of Nanyang County, also sent someone to raise Gan Shu as filial piety, and the front foot was next to the back foot, but Gan Shu still refused.

The news of Li Yan, the county guard of Nanjun, was also fast, and before Guo Mu's people left, Li Yan's envoy came to Jiangjun Mountain, also to raise Ganshu as filial piety.

There is only one filial piety quota in Xiangyang County, and the internal competition is fierce, and now the three counties are willing to talk about it at the same time...... Xiangyang's scheduled filial piety candidates were interesting, and after repeated resignations, Xiahou Lan sent someone to raise Ganshu.

Now Ganshu is regarded as the filial piety of the four counties at the same time, and the scale of Zhaoyangyi can be regarded as the restoration of 'Nanxiang County'.

Gan Ning, who guarded the tomb, invited Ma Bing to enter, and Gan Shu cooked tea in the grass house to receive him.

Gan Shu's face was calm, and he couldn't see the joy of the four counties competing for filial piety: "When I passed Tianxingzhou, General Wu Ding Chengyuan asked about his future aspirations. I said that I will not be the master of the Han Dynasty in the future, although I have the intention of deceiving Ding Chengyuan's left and right ears and eyes, it is also a heartfelt statement. ”

Ma Bing caught the hot tea with both hands: "I have also heard the words of the gentleman." It's just that the country is in the process of employing people, and the gentleman is left in the wilderness, and the thieves will laugh at the court for not tolerating people. If Mr. is worried about Xiahou, then there is no need. ”

Ma Bing said and arched his hand towards the north: "As far as I know, during the battle of Maicheng, General Song Gong and Xiahou beheaded the generals to circulate the three armies, but only the corpse of General Xingba remained. After the war, it was Xiahou who chose the site and worshiped and buried, although it was simple but grand, and it was known to all the armies. He also recruited two members of General Xingba's subordinates to protect the cemetery from invasion. ”

Gan Shu nodded lightly, and looked down at the brown black tea soup in the cup: "How can the servant question Xiahou's intentions, but he doesn't want to disappoint Ding Chengyuan." Ding Chengyuan must have the eyes and ears of the traitor Lu Yi around him, I don't say anything, Ding Chengyuan dares to let my family leave Jiangdong. Ding Chengyuan is determined to be a loyal minister, if I become the lord of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that Ding Chengyuan will be harmed, making it difficult for him to achieve both loyalty and righteousness, and I will also lose the righteousness of a friend. ”

Ma Bingzheng was about to persuade, so he saw the tomb guard come to report: "Master, General Song Gong sent Pei Jun Pei Feng to Zhonglang Hedong to conquer the master. ”

Ma Bing was startled when he heard this, and looked fixedly, Gan Shu just shook his head and smiled bitterly at Ma Bing: "Please also ask the little envoy to report back to Xiahou Mansion and resign on my behalf." ”

Guan Yudu sent people to recruit Ganshu, and this face and starting point for entering the office are second only to Dr. Liu Bei Zhengju.

Ma Bing also smiled bitterly, the three counties were unable to compete, and adding one more Xiangyang County to make up four counties was just the icing on the cake.

Now that Guan Yu is coming to conquer again, the name of Ganshu will inevitably spread all over the world.

Ma Bing retired with interest, Ganshu sent Ma Bing to the foot of the mountain, and welcomed Pei Jun up the mountain.

Pei Jun is the second son of Pei Mao, a native of Wenxi County, Hedong, who escorted his brother-in-law to Yizhou when he was young, and because Zhang Lu made a rebellion to block the Hanzhong channel, Pei Jun stayed in Yizhou for more than 20 years.

His brother Pei Qianben took refuge in Jingzhou, and after Cao Cao won Jingzhou, Pei Qianjin joined Shi Cao Cao, and now serves as Cao Pi's close minister as a casual attendant, acting as a staff member and adviser.

Pei Jun entered the grass house with Gan Shu, and saw that the water in the black clay pot was boiling and steaming, so he smiled and said: "It seems that Pei's words are difficult to move Mr. 's heart." ”

After sitting down, Gan Shu pointed to his heart: "It's a servant who is disheartened, and now even if he is out of office, he will be dusty because of his mind, and it will be difficult to do anything." ”

Pei Jun took water and cooked tea by himself, with a casual attitude: "But worried about Xiahou?" ”

"To tell you the truth, when Pei came to see Mr., he was first sent to pay homage to Xiahou and greet the princess. During the period, Xiahou asked Xiahou about the affairs of the Gan family, and Xiahou made it clear to Pei that he was entrusted by General Xingba to protect the Gan family. It's just that Gan is in Jiangdong, so it's inconvenient to express. Now that Gan is out of trouble, he should return the trust of General Xingba's life and death. ”

Pei Jun put down the black clay pot, took out two stacks of silk books from his sleeve and handed them out: "This Song Gong Zheng official document, Song Gong Qing umbrella car stopped at the foot of the mountain, and Mr. Shicai also saw it." The other is a handwritten letter from Xiahou. ”

Ganshu caught it with both hands and read them separately.

Guan Yu's official document on the conquest is a normal content, and he is willing to accept the conquest to wait for the end of the filial piety period, and then take the green umbrella car to report to the shogunate of the Wancheng general and accept Guan Yu's appointment.

The content of Tian Xin's handwriting is much simpler: "Sue Gan's son, I and General Xingba hit it off at first sight, and we have a tacit understanding." At a time when the imperial court is employing people, the talented people of the Qing clan are relieved to enter the office and do their best for the country. The Qing clan does not violate the law of the country, and I protect the Qing clan. ”

Gan Shu took a deep breath, put away the silk book, and lowered his eyebrows: "Xiahou has already admitted his intentions, but he doesn't want to live up to Ding Chengyuan." ”

"Hehe, the Gan family is in trouble, Song Gong and Xiahou will not be persecuted. Because of Xiahou, I don't hide it from the Gan family. ”

Pei Jun raised his glass and took a sip of the tea soup, his eyes were expectant, and he was a little nostalgic for the spoonful of green tea he received from Guan Yu: "Actually, Song Gong and Xiahou don't care about Ding Chengyuan's department, nor do they care about Jiangxia Lonely City. Song Gong respected General Xingba, and was more concerned about whether Xiahou could complete General Xingba's entrustment. And Xiahou didn't care about Ding Chengyuan and Jiang Xia, nor did he care about whether Mr. was out of office, all he cared about was whether he could shelter the remnants of General Xingba. ”

It is Gan Ning's descendants who want to be protected and promoted, but there is no limit to a certain person.

Gan Shu smiled with relief when he heard this: "This is like the demeanor of Song Gong and Xiahou." I also have to entrust the first prince to convey letters to the Duke of Song and Xiahou for me. ”

Pei Jun took a sip of tea soup and said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult, when I came, I heard that the Jiangxia County Guard also sent someone to raise Mr. ”

Gan Shu bowed his head slightly, and did not make verbal promises.

Not out, just to protect Ding Feng from persecution.

There is also a reason why the five counties are in the same move. Jiangjun Mountain is at the border of Xiangyang County and Nan County, and Gan Shu guards filial piety here, but his hometown has not been implemented in a specific county, so Xiangyang County and Nanjun compete to promote him as filial piety...... This is normal.

Gan Ning is a native of Yizhou, but his ancestral home is in Nanyang, so it is reasonable for Zhaoyangyi and Nanyang to compete for Ganshu as filial piety.

So what's the matter with Jiangxia County?

Naturally, there is a relationship, the western part of Jiangxia was once established by Sun Quan Xiling County, and Gan Ning is the Xiling County Guard...... The easternmost counties of Yangxin and Xiapheasant in Jiangxia belong to Ganning, which can be regarded as the fiefdom of Ganning.

So logically, the remnants of Ganning can also be regarded as Jiangxia origins, and the Jiangxia county guard followed and sent people to raise Gan Shu as filial piety...... This is also quite normal.

The five counties contended and rejected the conquest of Guan Yu, the general of the Song Dynasty...... Such a big thing spread to the north and Jiangdong, and it has its own wonderful use.

"When people live, they are afraid of comparison."

"No contrast, no harm."

Seeing the slight change in Gan Shu's facial expression, Pei Jun pondered Tian Xin's words, shook his head and took another sip of tea soup.
