No matter how good the relationship with Xia Houlan is, Tian Xin will not let Xia Houlan spread the word with one mouth.

Some things can be communicated verbally, and some things must be explained in writing.

Guan Yu carefully examined Tian Xin's letters, as straightforward as ever: "In recent years, there are very few things I hate, and I couldn't swallow Wu in one fell swoop. For the long-term stability of the two governors of Jiaoguang, thinking day and night, there is a good plan. If it's not me, no one can do it. ”

"The defeat of Hankou has come to this point, and it is useless to worry."

"Since the battle with Cao Cao for Hanzhong, the officials of Jingzhou have been fighting all year round, and the civil taxes and rents and forced labor are heavy, and their livelihood is difficult."

"It is better to reduce the officials, and rest and do nothing with the people. Three years to close Long, five years to level Hebei, ten years to set the world, this manpower is the extreme. ”

"If you want to hurry, you can't get there, and now the situation can't be forced. If there is another obstacle and change, the situation in the world will change, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

We can no longer suffer defeat, make reasonable use of manpower and material resources, and there is a chance to snowball and calm the world in ten years.

This is Tian Xin's prediction, which is close to his own prediction...... There is a premise for this estimate, and Tian Xin must be further loosened.

There is not only Tian Xin's letter, but also a letter sent by Xiahoulan through Xiangguan, and the Beifu Protector and Liao Li, who stayed here, Guan Yu also reviewed it, wanting to know what this person said.

"In the past, if you don't take Hanzhong, you will go to fight with the Wu people for the three southern counties, and you will die with the three counties and the Wu people, and you will work in vain to return the soldiers. After the death of Hanzhong, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He went deep into Ba and lost several states. ”

"For the whole of Yizhou, the expedition to Hanzhong, the war is dangerous, and Yizhou is tired; Song Gong attacked Xiangfan, Sun Quan betrayed the alliance and attacked, defeated and attached. ”

In the following year, Sun Quan rebelled again and went on an expedition to the east. At that time, the livelihood of the military and people's livelihoods was difficult, and it was difficult to last. If it weren't for Chen Gongzhong's attack, it would have overturned Yuan's original old rut, which was no different from Guandu, and only increased the laughing stock of the enemy country. ”

Later, the Northern Expedition was followed, and the people's livelihood was difficult. However, the soldiers made a noise about all things, wielding swords and swords, and their remarks were violent, and there was no room for dissent. ”

"Today's defeat in Hankou is really a result of Saion's loss of his horse, and I hope that the public will learn from it."

The more Guan Yu looked at Liao Li's letter, the more ugly his face became.

Tian Xin refused to come back for a reason; When Tian Xin was withdrawn, not to mention that Tian Xin regretted it, even he often regretted it.

Anyway, I shouted, Tian Xin refused to come back, who can have the ability to invite Tian Xin back from Jiaoguang Erzhou?

But what is Liao Li?

It is true that Liao Li is an important minister in the Han Dynasty and belongs to the central decision-making, don't look at the large number of officials in the Jiangdu court, in fact, there are only a few people who really make up their minds.

First of all, the moved Shangshu Ling Huang Quan, whether the government decree and various appointments can be issued must be nodded by Huang Quan, similar to a veto, Huang Quan's authority is extremely heavy.

followed by Shizhong, Jiangdu Yin Li Yan; Ma Liang, the servant and the left guard; Shizhong, Beifu Protector Liao Li.

The other ministers have their own duties, and these three servants, including Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, and Tian Xin, who are also added to the ranks, have the right to discuss politics.

Discussion of politics is the power of discussion, change, and change, and these six servants discuss politics and belong to the court discussion of the inner court, which can be regarded as Liu Bei's handling opinions; After the court meeting, plus the court meeting of foreign courtiers such as ministers and officials, it can be unanimously approved and released from Shangshutai.

Court discussion, court discussion, Shangshutai, this is a standard process.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao do not participate in the work of the imperial court and Shangshutai, and now the power of the imperial court is in the hands of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhuge Liang; Outside this layer, there are the three institutions of the inner court, the outer court, and the Shangshutai.

As long as Liao Li is still in the middle of the service, then he has a vote in his hand.

can look at Liao Li's remarks, first slandered Liu Bei's rescue of Jingzhou back then, which triggered the Xiangshui Alliance and Zhang Lu's surrender to Cao...... In other words, people don't see themselves squarely.

When he was in the Xiangshui Alliance, he did not perform well, and Liao Li did not perform well; But Liao Li immediately continued to spread anti-war rhetoric.

Classifying the main battle faction as 'sword-wielding soldiers and warriors', doesn't this scold the vast majority of people?

It's a pity that Tian Xin, the most capable person, is not the main battle faction, except for the battle of Xiangfan, the battle of defeating Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, and then other battles, Tian Xin passively participated in the war.

The more Guan Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, how could Liao Li be broken by the Rui Beast in the first place, and both legs should be broken.

Holding back his anger, Guan Yu wrote replies to Tian Xin and Liao Li respectively, and then handed over the letters of the two and his own replies to the master book for transcription and filing.

Not only to enter the file, but also to send it to Liu Bei thousands of miles away.

Important letters, and such clear statements, must be reported.

After dealing with these things, Guan Yu met with Xiahoulan.

A lot of information that can't be put on paper can be paraphrased from the mouth.

Guan Yu first expressed his dissatisfaction: "Dingguo was seriously injured, and there were no less than 2,000 officials who were seriously injured. Filial piety is the best in the world, I want him to treat the burned officials, why did he refuse? The southern conquest of Jiaoguang and the two states is already a foregone conclusion, so why should he work in person? Qinghua is pregnant, why don't he take the opportunity to come back? ”

Xiahou Lan thought for a while, and chose the key point to answer: "General, the last general learned about it from Pang Jushi before he left, and Chen Gong heard that since the defeat of Hankou and the fall of the water division, he had a few days of lackluster food. ”

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't say anything, Xia Houlan continued: "Chen Gong is angry, and now he is sad for the casualties, so he shouldn't force Chen Gong to run around anymore. Lingnan is vast, and Chen Gong has the ability to resist beasts. The last general is afraid that Chen Gong will wander in the mountains and wilderness, and it will be difficult to find a trace. ”

Seeing that Guan Yu still didn't react at all, Xiahou Lan paused slightly and said, "As for the burn officials...... If Chen Gong knew about this, he would have searched for a prescription. However, the last general was not informed...... Maybe Chen Gong didn't have a good plan. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Guan Yu's face was annoyed and unhappy, Xiahou Lan closed her mouth.

As far as burns are concerned, it is almost too late to wait for Tian Xin to know, arrange a prescription and send it to Jiangdu and the front line, and then look for medicinal materials or something.

What's more, Tian Xin doesn't necessarily know about this...... Seeing the change in Guan Yu's expression, he was quick to talk about the burned officials.

In terms of current burn care methods, large-scale burns are almost incurable.

wants Tian Xin to come back to rescue Guan Ping, this kind of thing is a little unspeakable.

Guan Yu hesitated, but still couldn't hold back: "Can filial piety know that Dingguo is seriously injured?" ”

"I don't know."

Xiahou Lan's tone was confirmed: "In the last tense, I reviewed the documents before and after, and there was no injury to the former general. Moreover...... Chen Gong also made it clear that he didn't want to run around for no reason. The general also knew that Chen Gong had always been Gengjie, and his words were straightforward and inadvertently hurtful. Judging from the future, Chen Gong will have his own ideas for doing things in the future, which is beyond the influence of friendship. ”

Guan Yu was silent, picked up the folding fan and shook it open to gently instigate, got up and paced in front of the screen: "How can you see it?" ”

"Chen Gong has already made it clear, and it will be inconvenient to relay it in the end."

Xia Houlan raised her head as she spoke, her white beard trembled, and her eyes were bright and bright: "General, Chen Gongshi can't bear to die." ”

"Ugh."

Guan Yu sighed and turned to him: "I think he still doesn't know the good things that Lu Boyan and Zhang Huishu have done, but have you sent a letter to Beifu?" ”

"There is no letter, neither a message."

Xiahou Lan's expression was calm: "If the general does not have an order, the last general will return to Lingnan after visiting General Wei tomorrow." ”

As the highest military and political institution, the General's Mansion is blocked in the middle, and the official documents between Tian Xin and the North Mansion will circulate in the General's Mansion.

The official documents of Beifu have the letterhead of Zhu Yin, and the official document number issued to Tian Xin is coherent, and the official documents of Beifu are currently under the supervision of the General's Office.

Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Yi to leave a mistake in the official document when doing things, and he did not report to Tian Xin or ask for instructions on relevant incidents, but only strengthened internal vigilance; Connecting with He Qi is also a normal act of countering the enemy, others can do it, can't Lu Yi do it?

It is also normal for Zhang Wen to refuse to ask for Weiqing, and this kind of thing was very common in the late Han Dynasty, and the normal process of raising his name and resigning.

If you have to interpret Zhang Wen's refusal as dissatisfaction...... That's okay too.
