Chapter 51: The Marriage Proposal
From Gangneung to Xiangyang, it takes one day to reach with light cavalry, three days for a large army to march, and two days for infantry to march lightly.
If it is a fast horse, the speed can be faster.
In the blacksmith workshop in the city, more than 20 blacksmiths gathered here made a fire to melt iron, and Tian Xin's four-sided Han sword and iron halberd have been burned into pure molten steel, which is being folded and forged repeatedly mixed with other steel.
There is no turning back from the bow, Tian Xin can only gamble now, betting on Sun Quan's strong dedication and Ma Chao's deterrence.
In the blacksmith's workshop, Tian Xin grabbed the pen and wrote the second volume of secret letters: "The prince and the marquis personally opened, and the last general will get the arrow book at night, saying that LΓΌ Meng and the Marquis of Wu discussed the matter of betraying the alliance to attack Jiangling. This is probably a plan for Cao thieves to divide the world, and I dare not believe it. β
"The letter contains the personal relationship between Mi Fujun and General Fu and Wu Hou. The last general is worried about banning the veteran and not guaranteeing the late season, and talking about others? Therefore, there are doubts. β
"If Marquis Wu proposes to marry and send troops to help the war, this deception is also, the prince must be cautious."
"The last general's troops gathered and rotated, and there were less than 3,000 people who could fight. The army will be moved to Micheng and Linfang to avoid danger. β
"Today, 2,000 soldiers have been resettled in Jiangling, and 500 Ruishi are stationed near the mansion of the Marquis of Tun."
"Yiling controls Jing Yi's throat, Fan Fujun is a frank gentleman and credulous man, I am afraid that Sun Yi and Yu will be calculated, and the last general has sent Wenbu and Deng Kai to tell each other in the starry night."
"The last general heard that tens of thousands of stones of merchant rice were left in Xiangguan Tun, which is really a hidden danger."
Quanling is the county seat of Lingling County, which is guarded by the county guard Hao Pu, and is the southernmost stronghold of the Jingnan defense line.
Hao Pu was the commander of Lingling County, and before the Xiangshui Alliance, Hao Pu held on to Quanling, so that Liu Bei could lead an army of 50,000 to Jingzhou. However, he was deceived by Lu Mengyu and mistakenly thought that there was no help, so he opened the city and surrendered.
After the Xiangshui Alliance, Hao Pu and other officials who did not want to serve in Wu were repatriated, and Liu Bei continued to appoint Hao Pu as the commander of Lingling.
Xiangguan controls Xiangshui and Xiaoshui, and is located in the north of Quanling, ten miles north, on the east bank of Xiangshui.
After the Xiangshui Alliance, the two sides took Xiangshui as the boundary, but the whole county of Lingling belonged to Liu Bei, at the cost of Guan Yu's retreat from the west bank of Xiangshui in Changsha County.
In other words, although the two sides were bounded by Xiangshui, Sun Quan handed over the complete Lingling and also got the complete Changsha.
Xiangguan is equivalent to a tax customs, supervising the merchant ships of both sides and storing certain business travel materials.
The northern governor of Lingling is stationed in Zhaoling (Shaoyang), which is the link hub between Wuling and Yiling.
After Tian Xin finished writing the secret letter, he saw that Pang Lin, who had joined the army in Jingzhou with Huang Quan, also came to the blacksmith workshop and was communicating with Xi Hong, who was playing with the new weapon model.
The new weapon model is Fang Tian Halberd, Lu Bu does not have Fang Tian Halberd, and Guan Yu does not have the Qinglong Sword, which makes Tian Xin feel that there is always something missing.
If he is famous for Fang Tianji, he may be able to lead many brave generals of Wei and Wu.
Xi Hong's family is the descendants of Xiangyang Marquis Xi Yu, Xi Yu and Emperor Guangwu traveled to Li Mountain on the outskirts of Yicheng, dreamed of the god of Suling Mountain together, and named Xi Yu as the Marquis of Xiangyang. Xi Yu rebuilt the mountain shrine in Suling Mountain, because there was a pair of stone deer in front of the door, Suling Mountain was renamed Lumen Mountain.
Xi Hong is the younger brother of Xi Zhen, the governor of the northern part of Lingling, and is Xi Zhen's cousin; Xi Zhen's sister is Pang Lin's wife, when Xiangyang surrendered to Cao Cao, Pang Lin's wife and daughter were moved to the Central Plains, and Pang Lin did not remarry.
Pang Lin is Pang Tong's younger brother, and Pang Degong, who lives in seclusion in Lumen Mountain to teach, is his uncle.
When Xi Zhen was young, his name was Ya Pang Tong, which was on the right side of Ma Liang, and belonged to the existence of the third ranking of Jingzhou scholars at that time.
When Liu Bei entered Shu, Xi Zhen and the four brothers followed together, and now they all hold important positions, not counting the Xi Zhen and Xi Hong brothers who stayed in Jingzhou.
Pang, Liao, Xiang, Ma, Xi, and Yang are either from Xiangyang, or from Yicheng in the south of Xiangyang, like a hornet's nest.
When Pang Lin saw Tian Xin come out, he stepped forward and took out the white silk silk book and handed it to both hands: "General, this left guard army handbook is also." β
Tian Xin caught it and glanced at it, seeing Pang Lin's relaxed expression, he guessed that Huang Quan's side kept Pang Lin secret, so he said, "Shiheng wait." β
Seeing Tian Xin turn around and go back to the house, Pang Lin took a few steps back and reminisced with Xi Hong, a little reluctant: "Huang Gongheng will go to Micheng to stay permanently, I don't know when you and my brother will be able to reunite." β
Xi Hong's personality is close to Tian Xin, and he is quiet but focuses on things: "You can wait for General Zuo to move to Jingzhou, and my brother and brother will revisit Lumen's hometown." β
Pang Lin bowed slightly, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was just around the corner, and he couldn't hold back the depression he was originally depressed, so he actively joined the army.
The sooner he returns to the Central Plains, for others it is Kuang Fu Han Sanxing Liu Han, but for him it is just to welcome back his wife and daughter.
In the house, Tian Xin wrapped Huang Quan's secret letter with bamboo slips, wrapped it in coarse silk, and sealed it with pine resin, and when the pine resin was about to solidify, he took out the heavy silver seal and covered it.
That night, in the city of Pinglu on the north bank of the Han River.
Wang Fu, Guan Ping, and Liao Hua sat in unison, and Guan Yu picked up the letters of Lu Xun and Sun Quan on the table from time to time to read.
Sun Quan's other envoy, Zuo Xian, the chief bookkeeper, also arrived in Xiangyang, sent letters from Sun Quan and Lu Xun, and asked Guan Yu for marriage, but Guan Yu refused on the spot.
The marriage proposal was not resolved, but Sun Quan hoped in the letter that he could send Sun Jiao, the Xiakou garrison, to assist the Xiangfan battlefield.
Lu Xun praised it to the fullest in his letter, and took the initiative to analyze the situation for Guan Yu: "I am cunning, I don't think about difficulties, I am afraid that the potential will increase the public, so as to get away with his heart." Although Master Yun is old, he is still fierce. And after the victory, often suffer and underestimate the enemy, the ancients cane technique, the army wins the police, and I hope that the general will be widely planned to overcome the whole one. β
"The servant scholar is sluggish, unbearable, happy neighbor Weide, happy to pour himself out, although he has not made a concerted decision, he can still cherish it. Fu Ming admires it, and there is a way to observe it. β
The posture is very low, and he is willing to provide all kinds of help within his ability.
Guan Yu was silent for a long time, thinking of the content of Tian Xin's secret letter earlier.
Later, two letters were circulated to everyone, and Wang Fu said: "Marquis Wu wants to increase his troops in Xiangfan, which is also conducive to the battle of Hefei, and I think it is harmless." β
Guan Yu bowed his head, still puzzled: "Lu Xun's humble words faintly have the intention of supporting our army, but how could Lu Meng easily return to Jianye to recuperate?" β
The old ministers of the Han dynasty in Xu Du failed to raise troops one after another, and in August, Yecheng Wei failed to raise troops, and thousands of families were killed before and after, and Guan Yu's intelligence network in the north was paralyzed.
However, Sun Wu's intelligence network is still stable, and LΓΌ Meng has indeed left Lukou and is currently recuperating in Wuhu.
He took back two silk letters from Guan Ping's hand, and his eyes fell on Sun Quan's letter, which contained the content of sending Yu to follow Sun Yi to Yizhou to seek medicine.
Yu turned his good medical skills and went to Yizhou with Sun Yi to visit Li Yi, an immortal in Qingcheng Mountain.
Looking at the generals of the Wu army, Gan Ning handed over the troops, Huang Gai died of illness, and the remaining generals who could fight were Lu Meng, Lu Fan, He Qi, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Xu Sheng.
Especially Lu Meng, blocked the mouth of the land, so that Guan Yu was like a fish in his throat.
On the eve of the Xiangshui Alliance, Lu Meng took Jingnan lightly, and his means were neat, such as probing for things.
This is not a local battle, but a well-coordinated battle, and LΓΌ Meng has excellent campaign planning skills.
Now Guan Yu not only refused the marriage on the spot, but also promised Sun Quan's reinforcements, how many reinforcements can Sun Quan send?
Three or five thousand people, fighting a local battle, should almost be transferred to rest, if it is nearly 10,000 people...... Just eat it.
Xue Rong, who was on duty outside the tent, pushed the door at this time, holding a roll of bamboo slips sealed with pine resin in both hands, walked to Guan Yu's side, and whispered: "Junhou, Jiangling Express." β
As Xue Rong spoke, he looked at the three-inch square mark on the pine resin: the seal of General Huya.
There is also a private seal engraved by Tian Xin on one side, just four words 'Tian Xin Xiaoxian'.
Xue Rong took a deep breath and slowly took three or four steps back before turning around and walking out of the room.
Guan Ping stepped forward at this time to take out the halberd and cut open the coarse silk seal wrapped outside the bamboo slip, Guan Yu picked up the bamboo slip and unfolded it, not wanting that there was a roll of white silk with excellent texture in the bamboo slip, and the texture was close to plain.
The silk with a simple texture is called silk, the quality of silk is slightly better than silk, and the cleanest silk is called Lian and Su.
Those who are outstanding can also be called practitioners of vegetarianism.
Guan Yu was already accustomed to Tian Xin's punctuation, and after reading it, he looked solemn, raised his eyelids and turned his eyes left and right, and picked up the white silk entrained in the bamboo slips.
The first thing that catches your eye when you open it is the three-inch square vermilion 'Left Protector Seal', which is a warning letter sent to him by Huang Quan.
Like Lu Xun and Sun Quan, Huang Quan's admonition letter is four or six battles, but there is no punctuation, and at a glance it is all smooth chapter grass.
Huang Quan stated that Yizhou's reserves were insufficient, and informed him of an embarrassing fact.
If Jingzhou suffers a big change, before the summer harvest, Yizhou will not be able to squeeze out a large army to reinforce Jingzhou.
Now the transfer of 3,000 people from Ma Chao's department to Jingzhou is already the limit of normal mobilization.
Guan Yu closed his eyes and groaned, Guan Ping and Wang Fu looked at each other, and waited quietly.
Recently, there have been no major incidents in the army, and only two major matters have been dealt with. One is the jade seal of the Son of Heaven who was lost when Xiangyang Haoqiang entered the Spirit Emperor, and the other is that Liu Bei appointed Deng Fu as the county guard of Fangling, and moved Meng Da to Shangyong to live with Liu Feng.
Guan Yu has no enmity with Liu Feng, and it is Meng Da who has a contradiction.
After Deng Fu took office in Fangling, he had recruited Tumin and Han militiamen, and after a little training, he had already gained 2,000 people.
After a long time, Guan Yu looked sideways at Liao Hua: "Order." β
Liao Hua got up and went to the side to study the ink, grabbed the pen and waited.
