Liu Bei's civil officials, Liu Biao basically knows, so there is no need to be lucky, fortunately.

"Mr. Gongyu!"

Liu Biao is very hostile, and he bowed very politely, without any arrogance at all, and did not show malice because of Zhang Yun's matter.

"General Liu!" Sun Qian also stood up and saluted.

After a polite exchange, the two sat down. Liu Biao asked: "I don't know what happened when Mr. Gongyou suddenly came to Xiangyang to see me?" ”

"But it was ordered by the Marquis of Han Shou to repair the general." Sun Qian was also quick to talk, and said with a smile.

Liu Biao was a little proud in his heart, and guessed correctly, Guan Yu regretted it and sent Sun Qian over to beg for mercy.

On his face, Liu Biao's face turned indifferent, and he said unhappily: "I heard that Brother Xuande Xian died of an unfortunate illness, so I sent Zhang Yun to mourn, and met with Guan Yu again, with sincere words, intending to use Guan Yu to fight against the north together. But this person is so domineering and arrogant and rude, isn't it too late to say anything about repairing at this time? ”

In the end, Liu Biao's voice was a little harsh.

"This time, that time. Mr. Zhang came early, and because Cai Mao and Zhang Yun withheld Xinye's money and grain, they embarrassed General Zuo (referring to Liu Bei) and Hanshou Hou held grudges, so he was quite arrogant and rude. But after Mr. Zhang left, Cao Cao sent Manzhong south to Xinye, intending to win over the Marquis of Hanshou, who broke off relations with Cao Cao because of the disagreement between the Han thieves. At this moment, the Marquis of Hanshou is sitting in the city of Xinye, although the army is strong, but there is no danger to defend, there is no way to retreat, and he is terrified. And because the general is a relative of the Han family, he is lenient and benevolent, and regrets his arrogant treatment of Mr. Zhang before, so he specially sent me to repair the general. Sun Qian was not in a hurry, and told Liu Biao about this matter one by one.

I haven't forgotten to flatter, you Liu Biaokuan is benevolent, and there are a lot of adults.

My Hanshouhou is arrogant and rude, and has a rough personality, so he does things impulsively, and now he regrets it, and his intestines are repentant.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

Now that you know you're scared?

Cao Cao called and there was no foreign aid?

Hum!

Liu Biao thought to himself.

"Guan Yu is arrogant and rude, and he deceives people too much. If I had relented my heart for a moment today and forgiven him, would I not have to make an inch of progress in the coming day? Liu Biao raised his posture, touched his beard, and showed an angry face.

The implication is that it will not be repaired.

"The general's words are wrong, precisely because the Marquis of Hanshou is arrogant and rude, rough and unscrupulous, and he should ignore the past suspicions. If the general does not accept the kindness of the Marquis of Hanshou, I will go back and restore my life. But I am afraid that the Marquis of Hanshou is afraid that he will lead the people of Xinye to defect to Cao Cao, but instead attack Fancheng in the south and plot against the general. ”

Sun Qian is neither humble nor arrogant, and his words are thorny.

Liu Biao's color changed and he said, "Sun Qian, are you threatening me?" ”

Sun Qian arched his hand and smiled: "The general's words are serious, and the Marquis of Hanshou sent me to repair the general, and I will pay the money sincerely." Where is the threat? ”

"Humph!" Liu Biao snorted coldly, got up and said, "Mr. will stay in the house first, let me think about it." ”

Sun Qian got up, and then led a house slave to the guest room to settle down.

After Sun Qian left, Liu Biao restrained the anger on his face, strode out of the lobby, and went to the study to sit down.

In the study, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had been sitting for a long time, and after seeing Liu Biao, they all said to the lord.

"Your own family, you don't have to be polite." Liu Biao said a word, then came to the main seat and sat down, and told Sun Qian's matter.

"Hmph, Guan Yu is arrogant and rude, and he deceives people too much. Isn't it too late to regret it now. Zhang Yun was angry with Guan Yu, so he naturally complained, and then took the case and said: "Lord, it is better to take advantage of Guan Yu's unstable foothold, mobilize the army, and use Wen Ping as a general to break it." ”

Liu Biao was a little moved when he heard this, but then shook his head and said: "That Guan Yu Xionghu general, although he does not have the heart of a civil official, but the generals are all towards him. Shinno Castle is strong, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to take. There is also Jiangdong Sun Quan peeping at Jiangxia, if he loses troops under Xinye City, it will be unfavorable to the situation. ”

At first glance, what Liu Biao said made some sense, but in fact, it was Liu Biao's personality that he could not fight without fighting.

So although Liu Biao showed an angry face just now, he actually preferred to win over Guan Yu in his heart.

So Liu Biao looked at Zhang Yun and said, "Don't be impatient." ”

Then Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao and asked, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Cai Mao thought for a while and said, "Guan Yu's willingness to get closer to Jingzhou is beneficial to Jingzhou. But sincerity is also questionable, and the lord might as well test it. Ask Guan Yu if he can send his eldest son Guan Ping to Xiangyang as a hostage. I heard that Guan Ping is quite talented and is valued by Guan Yu, if Guan Yu agrees to this. Then it proves Guan Yu's sincerity, and we will fully support Guan Yu and supply money and food. ”

Liu Biao thought about it for a while and felt that this strategy was very good, but he also hesitated: "What if Guan Yu refuses?" ”

Cai Mao already had a draft and said: "Then please choose one of the daughters of the Liu family and marry Guan Ping to marry." ”

Speaking of this, Cai Mao sighed and said: "The children's in-laws, of course, are also bonds, but compared with Guan Yu sending hostages, it is greatly discounted. The lord should also support Guan Yu, but don't support it too much, beware of Guan Yu's changes! ”

Liu Biao thought about it once, nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is reasonable. ”

Immediately, Liu Biao asked Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to go back, and there was no need to worry about sending hostages or getting married.

Dry Sun dry for a few days first, and it's not too late to be anxious for a few days.

However, there is one thing that Liu Biao needs to do first.

Liu Biao got up and returned to the back house, and after asking where his wife was, he came to the small hall and sat down.

Mrs. Cai is being a female celebrity, radiant, gentle and virtuous.

Liu Biao has always liked this young wife, so he is obedient.

Of course, there are also regrets, he is old and frail, that is, he has very little sex with his wife, let alone leaving heirs.

If you are unlucky, you kick your legs, but this squeamish person doesn't know who to cheapen.

Liu Biao shook his head, let go of the strange thoughts in his heart, and walked towards Mrs. Cai.

"Husband is back!" Mrs. Cai heard the movement and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"Hmm!" Liu Biao nodded. Mrs. Cai helped Liu Biao sit down and poured tea and water.

"Madam, is my daughter in the boudoir?" Liu Biao asked.

Mrs. Cai is very strange, but she is Liu's wife, and the people she comes into contact with are all female dependents.

Mrs. Cai thought for a moment, then smiled: "Liu Pan also has a concubine, who is fourteen this year, beautiful and moving. ”

"How's the character?" Liu Biao asked.

"Cool and good." Mrs. Cai said.

"Both fathers are generals, so it's a match!" Liu Biao touched his beard and said with a smile.

"The husband wants to marry the Guan family?" Mrs. Chua is very intelligent.

"Marriage is also a bond, and it is precisely because I married my wife that I can trust the military advisor so much." Liu Biao smiled and hugged Mrs. Cai into his arms.

Mrs. Cai smiled softly.

Liu Biao really hung Sun Qian for two days, and only summoned Sun Qian on the morning of the third day.

After a period of politeness, Liu Biao said bluntly: "Guan Yu is arrogant and rude, and it is difficult to trust. If you want to gain my trust, you need to pay something, but I'm afraid that Guan Yu will not will. ”

Sun Qian frowned, guessing a little in his heart. But he still asked, "What is it?" ”

"The eldest son, Guan Ping." Liu Biao said bluntly.

"Han Shouhou is rigid and loves Guan Ping very much, so this matter is categorically impossible." Sun Qian flatly refused, then hesitated, and finally did not speak.

He wanted to ask his eldest son if he could do it, but if his son Guan Xing was okay that time?

In Sun Qian's opinion, Guan Ping's importance is the same as Guan Yu's, and the poor fat-faced Guan Xing is like a gift.

But Sun Qian still didn't speak, after all, the final decision on this matter is still up to Guan Yu.

Sun Qian flatly refused, which did not surprise Liu Biao.

Liu Biao took the opportunity to say: "So I will retreat to the second, I have a niece and granddaughter, fourteen this year." Guan Ping is twelve this year and can be married. If two families can get married, they are their own family. I will provide Guan Yu with money and food, and carry weight. Unite against the North. ”

Sun Qianqing knew that this might be Liu Biao's bottom line, besides, marriage is not a big deal, and political marriages abound.

Liu Biao and Mrs. Cai are political marriages.

"Okay, I'll go back and report to the Marquis of Hanshou, and then send the marriage letter."

Sun Qian responded happily.

As for what Guan Ping thinks?

Who is the bird!

After Liu Biao and Sun Gan reached a consensus, Sun Qian resigned to Liu Biao and returned to Xinye.

After Sun Qian returned to Xinye, he came to the Mansion of the Marquis of Hanshou to resume his life.

Guan Yu saw Sun Qian in the study.

"Is this an appropriate trip, sir?" Guan Yu asked.

Sun Qian was a little awkward, because Liu Bei would not say this, Liu Bei would first shush the cold and ask for warmth, Mr. worked hard, and then he got to the point, and when he arrived at Guan Yu, his words were brief, and there was nothing like a spring breeze.

Sun Qian shook his head, put down the awkwardness, and said: "Liu Zhennan is willing to reconcile with the lord and provide some money and food, but the two families need to make a marriage contract, and before that, Liu Zhennan also made a request, asking Guan Ping to go to Xiangyang as a hostage. ”

Sun Qian told Guan Yu the details of the incident.

"Hmph, is Guan Yu the one who sent his son as a hostage? Even if you marry your daughter, it's impossible, just marry your daughter-in-law. ”

Guan Yu snorted coldly.

This is Guan Yu's concept, it is impossible to give hostages, and it is impossible to marry a daughter in the past. But marrying his daughter-in-law instead took a hostage.

Of course, Guan Yu is a hero, if the two sides really go to war, they will not use their daughter-in-law to threaten each other.

Sun Qian was distracted, and thought to himself, "Do you have a daughter?" ”

"I'll write a marriage letter right away!" Guan Yu took a piece of silk and wrote down the marriage book.

Then Guan Yu remembered something and asked, "When is the newlywed scheduled to get married?" ”

"Spring next year." Sun Qian replied.

"Hmm." Guan Yu nodded, handed the marriage letter to Sun Gan, and said, "Don't bother the two masters, please go to Xiangyang again." ”

"No!" Sun Qian made a promise, didn't care about resting, and hurried to Xiangyang again.

And the two also forgot one thing and didn't tell Guan Ping about it.

Poor Guan Ping had a fiancée in such a daze.

.......

Hanshou Hou Mansion!

Although Guan Yu inherited the position of left general, he was also recognized by the imperial court.

But Guan Yu did not take off the plaque of Liu Bei's mansion, and still called it the Hanshou Hou Mansion.

However, the civil officials under General Zuo moved to the Hanshou Marquis Mansion to work.

Xinye is a city but there are many civil officials, this is the problem left by Liu Bei, as long as there are famous or talented people, he will stay, and give official positions and provide Yulu.

Therefore, there are also people like Liu Yan mixed in. Although Liu Yan went to Xiangyang and took five more helpers with him, Xinye's civilian personnel were still bloated.

A large group of General Zuo were engaged in working in the Hanshouhou Mansion, and the Hanshouhou Mansion became crowded.

Most of them are helpers, and the real power is currently in the hands of Yin Guan.

Yin Guan is an executive talent.

Of course, Yin Guan does not deal with ordinary civil affairs, because Xinye has its own county order. Yin Guan is in charge of material mobilization and checks in the general direction.

Now Yin Guan needs to be in charge of Tuntian.

That is, to find a way to convert the 5,000 loyal soldiers to Xiahoudun into the civilian labor force of Xinye.

At present, Yin Guan has encountered some problems, so he invited Guan Ping to discuss.

In Yin Guan's office room, Guan Ping and Yin Guan sat separately, hot boiling water was placed on the desk, and the two of them took a sip from time to time.

"There are a lot of problems in Tuntian. The first is that these soldiers are very loyal to Xiahoudun, and as long as they are given a chance, they will defect. They need to be divided into 10 parts, and the cantonment will be set up for centralized supervision. The second is the current lack of cattle in Xinye. Finally, there is now not much slave business in Jingzhou, Bashu Jiangdong, and the north. It is very difficult to buy 5,000 women and match them with children and settle down in Xinye. ”

Yin Guan took a sip of hot tea, his brows furrowed slightly.

Yin Guan is a dignified person, he is the leader of Yi, Ma Jie and others, and his brows are slightly furrowed at this moment, and there is a breathless momentum.

Of course, Guan Ping was not affected.

But Guan Ping also frowned, with a sad face.

Every prince likes Zhuangding, and Guan Ping likes it too.

If it was Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's army, it would naturally be incorporated. But Xiahoudun is a freak and is too popular with the military.

If it is hastily absorbed, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Let them settle the fields, send seeds, acres of fields, farm tools, and wives, and let them stay in Xinye with peace of mind.

The cost is significant, but that's okay. Five thousand strong men can produce a lot of grain, and sooner or later they will earn it back.

But my wife is really bad.

The main reason is that the slave business is not good.

And they will send men to watch over them.

There were no ploughing oxen.

Guan Ping thought about it, at present, Xinye has Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and Guan Yu each leading 4,000 soldiers and horses, but at present, Guan Yu has been promoted to the lord, and the soldiers and horses under his command are handed over to Zhou Cang to be responsible.

In the future, the war will depend on these elites, so they cannot be arranged to take care of the surrendered troops.

Guan Ping thought about it and said to Yin Guan: "Mr. Trouble will write a letter of appointment, and then stamp a big seal on my father, and appoint me as the captain of the Diannong School, and Ma Liang as the Diannong Sima." Divide the troops into ten divisions, select wasteland, and reclaim it. Three out of ten taxes. I will ask Ma Liang to assign ten Dubos as generals to guard one tun. Daily training, also responsible for supervising the surrender of troops. As for the woman and the ploughing ox. ”

Guan Ping thought for a moment and asked: "I heard that before the Shanyue riot, Sun Quan broke through a lot of Shanyue and incorporated the elite army, I don't know if there are women among them?" Send someone to Jiangdong to see if you can buy some Shanyue women to come back. ”

Yin Guan was very awkward when he heard this, let me write the letter of appointment? And then take it and put a big seal on the lord?

Yin Guan shook his head, forget it, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Xinye.

Guan Ping's power, as well as his prestige, are very great.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Jiangdong immediately." Yin nodded his head.

Immediately, Yin Guan wrote a letter of appointment, Guan Ping changed his mind, and took it himself to let his stinky father seal it.

As a result, he didn't see his stinky father in the study, Guan Ping groped around, found General Zuo's seal letter, stamped the seal letter on the letter of appointment, and dried up.

Wait a minute, send Ma Liang over and go to the relevant yamen to engrave two seals.

In fact, Guan Yu's study is not easy to enter, and there are two teams of armored soldiers in front of the door, eyeing each other fiercely and viciously.

But no one can control Guan Ping, and he watched Guan Ping "steal the seal letter and do mischief." ”

After Guan Ping got two letters of appointment, he sent Ding Feng to find Ma Liang.

Guan Ping and Ma Liang have already hooked up, but it was not Guan Ping who hooked up, it was Ma Ping who came to Guan Ping, and of course Guan Ping smiled.

However, Ma Liang originally wanted to be a small official with the army, but Guan Ping generously promoted Ma Liang to be the Sima of the battalion, and he was promoted to become the deputy of the general who led the army.

Since that day, Guan Ping has his own study in the Hou Mansion, Guan Ping came to the study and sat down, and Ma Liang was brought by Ding Feng soon after.

"Lord Sima." The two were originally friends and had a good relationship, but at the moment they are different from each other, and Ma Liang is very well-behaved.

"Change your name to Captain." Guan Ping smiled, took out two letters of appointment, handed them to Ma Liang and said, "Go to Yousi to burn the seal." ”

"Captain Diannon?" Ma Liang's white eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "My lord wants to set up those 5,000 troops in Tuntian?" ”

The official position of Diannong Lieutenant was invented by Cao Cao, and Tuntian was very famous, so as soon as Ma Liang saw this name, he knew what Guan Ping was going to do.

"The risk of co-optation is very high, first centralized management, and then distribution to the wife, land, and collect 30% of the tax. After a few years, if you have a child and live a happy life, you will be a good citizen. ”

Guan Ping nodded and said.

"I see. But I didn't have an inch, and I was suddenly promoted to Sima, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in the army. ”

Ma Liang shook his head.

"In this matter, Ji Chang, you can rest assured that this is the captain of the agricultural school, in charge of the military and the civilian. In the army, Du Bo could only stare dryly. Only you can dispatch the whole army and coordinate the overall situation. ”

Guan Ping said with a smile, very relieved of Ma Liang's talent, which is completely different from his attitude towards Ma Yan.

"No!" Ma Liang is also a very confident person, and when he heard the words, he had no doubts and promised.

So when Guan Yu didn't know that he had appointed a lieutenant, Guan Ping and Ma Liang took office.

Yin Guan was very neat, he found a wasteland in the east of Xinye, this land has been out of the Xinye realm, but no one cares about it. In the Nanyang area, there is a lot of unowned land.

Guan Ping and Ma Liang divided the land into two jurisdictions and ten departments.

Five departments for each jurisdiction.

Zhang Bao and Li Zheng are each in charge of a jurisdiction.

Guan Ping's Diannong Lieutenant Station is located in the center of this land.

A yamen was built, with Sima Ma Liang as a pawn farmer in charge, commanding more than a dozen small officials, as well as more than 100 people in Zhoucang, more than 100 people in Li Fei, and more than 50 people in Liaohua.

Among them, Zhou Cang and Li Fei are Guan Ping's personal soldiers, and Liao Hua is a spy who is responsible for exploring horses.

At present, these ten tuns are considered military tuns, and when Guan Ping will find a wife for the 5,000 Cao army to surrender troops and plough cattle, it will become a Mintun.

Twenty years later, when the child grows up, it will be a village.

This is Guan Ping's current strategy, which is to transfer untrustworthy troops to civilian labor and transfer civilian labor into the army.

After the completion of these ten tuntians, Guan Ping left nothing to do and handed over to Ma Liang to be fully responsible.

Guan Ping took Ding Feng and Ding Feng's brothers to hang out every day.

By the way, think about how to get the ploughing ox over.

At present, Guan Ping is thinking about this, first befriend Liu Biao, develop obscenely, and then give Liu Biao a thunderous blow.

This is the so-called "external support Liu Biao, internal cultivation of the royal road." ”

Establishment of the Imperial Foundation.

Although Guan Ping is also hanging out, it is much more restrained than before.

After all, I used to work for Beibei, and it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but now I am working for my father, and the future of this foundation is mine.

Besides, if it doesn't work out, the whole family will die.

If you're not serious, you don't grasp it, you don't work hard, it's not good.

But there are some things that Guan Ping really can't do. For example, to give wives to soldiers and cattle to plough cattle.

Wife, Guan Ping plans to find those Shanyue women, but the ploughing cattle really can't be changed.

Time flies, and it's another year.

This New Year, heavy snow is flying in the area of Xinye, and it is white.

Guan Ping, Ding Feng, Ding Feng, the two orphans, as well as Stinky Dad, Liu, Guan Xing, Zhang Yu, and Deng Ai spent this New Year together.

In the front yard of the Hou Mansion, the snow is very deep.

Guan Ping was wearing a big hat, standing under the eaves, with a smile, watching Deng Ai play in the snow in the yard.

Although the child stutters, he is very lively and intelligent.

Guan Ping's side are Ding Feng, Ding Feng's brothers, and Zhang Yu.

This teenage girl is still the same, but she is a mother at a young age.

Under the delicate childish face, there is a hot body.

It's just that the life of the Hou Mansion still left a mark.

Zhang Yu used to be the proprietress of the shop, and her hands were very rough, but now she is Guan Ping's personal maid, a spare concubine, and occasionally a part-time cook, cooking a pot of tofu soup.

The treatment is very good.

The skin is whiter and more refined, and the hands are softer and more beautiful.

The clothes on his body are also very good, and he has jewelry on his head, which is radiant and glamorous.

Guan Ping looked at Zhang Yu from time to time, his heart was itching, he once tried to be the overlord, but he failed.

At this time, Deng Ai was tired of playing, and flew towards Guan Ping with his little short legs, stammering and shouting, "Father..... Dear, Father.... Kiss. ”

Under Guan Ping's bad taste, this kid will call his father when he sees him.

"Good son!" Guan Ping smiled, bent down and hugged Deng Ai, kissed Deng Ai on the face, and then raised it high, provoking Deng Aige to laugh, very happy and turned around to kiss Guan Ping.

If you don't know, you will definitely think that this is a pair of sons and fathers.

Zhang Yu looked at it again, but his eyes were slightly red, and he smiled with tears.

Although this little prince's purpose was impure and she tried to climb into her bed several times, she was a widow with a son, and she was really lucky to meet this little prince.

"Sister Zhang, Madame is looking for you." A maidservant girl hurriedly walked over and said to Zhang Yu.

"Okay." Zhang Yu was surprised, said to Guan Ping, and then turned his head to look for Liu.
