Xiangyang.

Guan Ping divided the 40,000 army to Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan, and by the way, set up the battalion governor, Changshi, four Simas, Junzheng, many officials, and subordinates to the three generals.

They all select loyal, brave and reliable people to assist the chief general in governing the army.

Then Guan Ping didn't care about it, reorganized and trained. Zhang Laosan himself said that he could train for at least three months before he could fight a decisive battle with Jiangdong's army on the shore.

Guan Ping led Zhou Xiong and returned to Xiangyang. Xiangyang is still the same, full of convoys carrying materials, as well as all kinds of workers.

But gradually something has changed.

Xiangyang was burned to the ground by Cao Cao, and the ruins have been cleared at this moment. On both sides of the street, quite a number of wooden frames have been erected.

According to the construction of streets, residential areas, bazaars, rich areas, etc.

And the structure is also extremely simple, copying the previous Xiangyang. Most of the officials under the command of the Guan family are Xiangyang, or people from the surrounding areas of Xiangyang, and there is no big problem in making a drawing of the original Xiangyang City.

Zhou Cang had already started to build the state pastoral mansion, but it was not yet inhabitable, so after Guan Ping returned to Xiangyang, he still lived in the original tent area.

After getting out of the carriage, Guan Ping said to Zhou Xiong: "Go get some big fish back, I want to eat fish soup at night." ”

"No." Zhou Xiong promised and went down immediately. As the captain of the pro-soldiers, it is Zhou Xiong's duty to take care of Guan Ping's diet and daily life.

and bumper.

After that, Guan Ping went back to his tent, although it was a tent, but although the sparrow was small, there were bedrooms, study, small halls, and halls.

Guan Ping came to the study, intending to look at the bamboo slips for a while. I saw Liu walking in with a young man.

"Mother." Guan Ping was pleasantly surprised when he saw it, and hurriedly put down the bamboo slips and stepped forward to salute.

However, it is said that Liu's treatment of Guan Ping is really not thin, although he is not biological, he is better than his own child. And Guan Ping has not seen the Liu family for many years since he entered Fangling.

I don't usually think that when I see Liu today, I feel ashamed when I look at the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Ping'er." Liu also shed tears, hurriedly stepped forward, touched Guan Ping's cheek, and Lou Guan Ping, Guan Ping obediently did not move.

Soon after, the mother and son separated. Liu remembered something, took the young man's hand and said, "I've seen my brother soon." ”

"I've seen my brother." The young man saluted at Guan Ping, and then looked at Guan Ping curiously.

Guan Ping's heart is cold, this person is fat-faced Guan Xing?

"No wonder I didn't recognize Guan Xing, but this stinky boy was a tiger-headed kid when he was a child, and he had a very cute fat face."

Guan Ping's stomach was slandered.

Guan Ping likes to pinch Guan Xing's face.

But at this moment, I saw Guan Xing, who was tall and tall, and there were traces of martial arts training on his body, but he was not strong.

All in all, it is somewhat similar to Guan Ping.

Guan Ping also looked thin in his clothes, but when he took off his clothes, he was covered in tendons.

Including Guan Yu, the father and son of the Guan family can be said to be in the same lineage.

It took Guan Ping a moment to accept this fact. immediately smiled and helped Guan Xing up, and then cordially pulled the family and asked Guan Xing how his martial arts and studies were.

Guan Xing, a stinky boy, was very clever when he was a child, and now he listens to Guan Ping's inquiries and answers like fluent.

Guan Ping fell in love with this stinky boy again, touched the horn on Guan Xing's head, and was quite satisfied.

What a clever guy in my family.

When Liu saw this scene, he shed tears again, and he was really relieved to see that his brothers were harmonious.

Immediately, Liu took Guan Xing down together, because Jian Yong came.

"Sir." Guan Ping sent Liu away, Guan Xing, and respectfully welcomed Jian Yong into the big tent and asked the teacher to sit down. Guan Ping thought that this unserious teacher was looking for him to brag about it.

But who knew that Jian Yong had serious things, he happily enjoyed Guan Ping's disciple gift, then sat down, took out a piece of silk cloth from his sleeve, and handed it to Guan Ping.

The ass doesn't move, just stretches out his hand.

As soon as Guan Ping sat down, he had no choice but to get up and take the silk cloth, muttering in his heart.

"Why didn't you take it out just now? It caused me to sit down and get up again. ”

Jian Yong is very happy, Guan Yangwu, General Ming, is not my Jian Yong's disciple.

Not to mention Jian Yong's impropriety, Guan Ping took the silk cloth and took a closer look, then put down the silk cloth. This is Zhuge Liang's official document.

Ask Guan Yu to send someone to Jingnan to meet the barbarian king Shamoke and launch a rebellion.

"My lord meant to let me go, but then I said to ask for your opinion." Jian Yong said.

Guan Ping has a candidate, but I'm sorry, it's not you, the teacher.

Wuxi barbarians.

Yamagoe.

One is the problem of Yangzhou, and the other is the problem of Jingzhou. And Sun Quan occupied the Jiangdong counties in Yangzhou and the Jingnan counties in Jingzhou, all of which were the scope of barbarians' activities.

Even if Zhuge Liang doesn't mention it, Guan Ping will find a way.

Because of the Wuxi barbarian king Shamoke, someone once succeeded in convincing.

That's Maleonn.

In the battle of Yiling in history, Ma Liang sent an envoy to Jingnan to recruit soldiers and horses from Wuxi barbarians to help prepare. Later, the garrison was defeated, and Ma Liang was also killed.

The battle of Yiling is really miserable.

On the side of Shu Han, there were heavy losses.

But now nothing will happen, and the Guan family will never lose Jingzhou.

"Sir is not a good candidate. Because Mr. is not from Jingzhou, he doesn't know much about Wuxi barbarians. This matter also needs to ask Ma Jichang to take a trip. Guan Ping put away his thoughts and said to Jian Yong.

Jian Yong doesn't care, it's okay to be idle, it's idle.

So I went back to playing. Go to the mountains to visit the hermits of Xiangyang. Jian Yong bowed his hand to Guan Ping, and then left in a dashing manner.

Guan Ping was a little envious, he was really chic like a fairy.

Guan Ping wants to hand over this matter to Ma Liang, but Ma Liang is currently asking for the overseer in his name, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong and the two, Zhang Bao is straight, and Zhao Tong is decent.

If Ma Liang is not there, he may be swallowed by Zhou Yu.

In public and private, Guan Ping needs to find someone to take care of the two. After thinking about it, Guan Ping decided to go on his own. So he ordered Zhou Xiong to order troops, prepare armor, and take heavy vehicles.

Go south to Dangyang, and then take a detour to Zigui and go to Mingqiu.

This matter is very urgent, Guan Ping ordered today, and he will set off the next day. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Guan Yu and Liu.

Guan Ping arrived at Mingqiu after tossing and turning.

There are no mountains in Nagu, and it is also a plain structure, but this land is particularly high. There is a small stream nearby, and there is no shortage of water.

Ma Liang set up a camp here and strengthened it every day. After Guan Ping led his troops to Mingqiu, he expanded the camp by himself. Guan Ping, Ma Liang, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Tong entered Zhang Bao's big tent and sat down.

"General Ming, when will we fight the Jiangdong people?" As soon as Zhang Bao's ass sat down, he asked.

"It's not the time yet, brother." Guan Ping shook his head, then took out the silk cloth from his sleeve and asked Zhou Xiong on his side to hand it to Ma Liang, who understood at a glance.

"The barbarian king Shamoko has always been greedy. Please prepare more generals, seal the letter of the marquis, and prepare another 3,000 gold. I can go down the path and go to Shamoko in secrecy. ”

Ma Liang said calmly.

"Okay." Guan Ping understood, and immediately asked the craftsman to make a seal letter, and sealed Shamoke as the general of Zhennan, the marquis of martial arts, and the general of Duobei, and the title of the marquis, and rewarded the barbarian marshal.

Prepare another 3,000 gold for Maleonn.

Anyway, Guan Yu's Jingzhou pastoral position is self-proclaimed, and it doesn't matter if he grants the barbarian seal letter on behalf of the imperial court.

After making preparations, Ma Liang said goodbye to Guan Ping, crossed the river at night, and then walked the path, led by the guide, to meet Shamoke.

............

And with Ma Liang's action, Zhao Yun, as well as Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and others are of course also acting.

Sun Quan deployed 110,000 elite soldiers throughout Jingzhou, of which 10,000 were set up in Jiangxia to maintain the rear road.

Before that, Sun Quan had already mobilized a large amount of baggage, grain, grass, and materials from Jiangdong to hoard in the public security area. He also ordered people to go to the four counties of Jingnan to mobilize taxes.

However, Sun Quan's 110,000 elite soldiers stood in Jingzhou, and the daily loss of men and horses was a huge expense. Grain and grass are not said to be able to be mobilized in a single stroke, but to talk about a long stream, slowly mobilized from all over the country.

By water, of course.

The Guan family had 20,000 or 30,000 sailors on the north bank, and Sun Quan was also quite jealous and did not dare not send troops to transport them. The grain was loaded by civilian ships, and the general Zhu Zhi was dispatched to lead 20,000 sailors to escort it.

Many people in later generations of Zhu Zhi are not very clear, because the era of the Three Kingdoms is so famous, and it is closely related to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

And Zhu Zhi did not perform in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It's a negligible figure.

But this person fought with Sun Jian, and then followed Sun Ce and Sun Quan. At present, he is named the Taishou of Wu County by Sun Quan, the general of Fuyi, and the guard of Wu County.

Kure County is the core area of the entire Jiangdong region, and its status is very important. Zhu Zhi is equivalent to Cao Wei's Xiahoudun.

It is a confidant, a man of the humerus.

Moreover, Zhu Zhi's adopted son Zhu Ran is another general in Jiangdong, and his family has served Jiangdong for generations.

Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua did not have a clear subordinate relationship before this. After Guan Yu entered Xiangyang, he ordered Wang Wei to be the general and lead the rest of the people.

Wang Weitun went to the border between Jiangxia and Nanjun, and set up beacon towers along the Yangtze River to observe the situation of a large number of ships on the Yangtze River.

On this day, Zhu Zhi led a large number of ships to the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River.

There are countless ships, and the "Zhu" flag is hung everywhere. Warships were placed in the north, while civilian ships were placed in the south.

This is to prevent being attacked by Wang Wei's army.

But despite the 20,000 naval guards, Zhu Zhi was still quite worried.

On the deck of one of the ships.

The so-called warship is a medium-sized warship, and it is also the main warship of the navy.

The entire cabin and deck of the ship are covered with cowhide for fire protection. There are several oars on each side of the board for the oars to insert the boat and for rowers to row. There are three cabins above deck, which are also wrapped in raw cowhide to prevent enemy fire. Each deck has crossbow windows on all sides, and spear holes can be used to attack enemies in all directions.

Zhu Zhi stood alone on the deck, looking into the distance, showing a melancholy color, and touched his beard from time to time.
