Guan Ping's positioning of himself is divided into two stages, and he has always been very clear and clear.

When I was ready, I rubbed hard with my thick thighs. Even if they are forced to work as children, they have no regrets.

But everyone ignores everything, only comes up with an idea, and engages in invention.

After Guan Ping was appointed as Sima of the other department, Guan Ping also made the training outline, and then handed over the matter to Zhang Bao, Li Zheng and others below, and he did not even go to work in the military camp for several months.

When he is prepared, Guan Ping positions himself as the second ancestor.

After being unprepared, my father drove the ducks to the shelves and took office. Guan Ping's original intention was to persuade his father to go north to surrender to Cao Cao and live a peaceful life.

Relying on the relationship between my father and Cao Cao, and then I have a good relationship with Cao Pi, I can still stick to the line of the second ancestor in the future. It's a pity that my father didn't agree and resolutely resisted Cao.

So Guan Ping could only provoke the big beam, make Longzhong to stabilize the situation, and make suggestions and send troops to Fangling.

But Guan Ping is very clear about his ability, if the martial arts are okay, maybe he can last three or five rounds under his father?

Anyway, Guan Ping didn't dare to fight with Wen Ping.

In the face of ordinary generals, Guan Ping is rushing and rushing.

Obvious persimmon pick up soft pinch.

Governing the army, leading the soldiers is also excellent (Guan Ping is really good at this, Xinye is certified, Tong Su is not bullied.) But marching and fighting, Guan Ping felt that if he didn't have the help of Ma Yan, he would definitely be a mediocre talent.

Forget about civil chores, I don't know anything at all.

Therefore, Guan Ping's positioning of himself is to reward and punish, appoint talents, and occasionally make a small invention.

Promote your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

Guan Ping is not a shrewd and capable strongman, not as good as Cao Cao.

Guan Ping is not Liu Bei, who is very deep in the city government and knows people well.

Guan Ping is also not Sun Quan, who has almost never lost a defensive battle.

Guan Ping just knows the history and knows who is available and who is not available to the traverser.

He is not wise that is not wise for himself.

If you meddle too much at will, you will be holding a big weapon but having great ambitions and sparse talents, and you will die without a day.

Just like in Shangyong, Guan Ping handed over the civil affairs to the county commander Li Chao, handed over the military to Li Fei, the stinky boy, in the army, and safely handed over to Zhou Xiong, the two boys.

But it's also idle to panic, if Zhang Yu follows Guan Ping's side when he is in Xinye, Guan Ping will have nothing to tease Zhang Yu, touch a little hand, kiss a little mouth or something.

If it's okay, you can also tease Deng Ai, a stinky boy.

But now that Zhang Yu's mother and son are not around, Shangyong is not familiar with the area, and he may be assassinated if he goes out.

After all, Guan Ping had just secretly instructed Gan Ning to kill the Shen brothers, and the Shen brothers had many followers, so maybe one or two people would be left behind, wanting to take revenge.

If you go out and follow in Sun Ce's footsteps, then you will be laughing and generous.

So Guan Ping had nothing to do, so he came to the county office to communicate with Li Chao.

Li Chaonai was an old helper in Liu Bei's period, and he was the same group of people as Liu Yan. At that time, including Sun Qian and Jian Yong, Liu Bei had more than a dozen helpers.

Five of them followed Liu Yan to the south to join Liu Biao, Guan Ping still has to thank Liu Yan for this matter, there is a lot less help, but a lot of money is saved, and more soldiers and horses can be supported.

However, most of the remaining helpers are also overwhelmed. But it is more than enough to be a county order. Li Chao is one of the steady and proper people.

There are nine county towns in Fangling County, and Fangling and Shangyong are important cities, so Guan Ping chose Li Chao as the county commander.

Li Chao is in his forties, wearing a robe and a crown, not elegant, and a little strong and official.

Guan Ping visited the county office, Li Chao naturally went out to welcome Guan Ping in, and after entering the small hall, Li Chao invited Guan Ping to take a seat and ordered the maid to serve tea.

"Taishou is visiting, but you have some advice?" Li Chao bowed very seriously.

Li Chao is in his forties, and in this era when he can call himself an old man at the age of thirty, he belongs to a person who has been half-cut into the ground. But to teach a general horn boy, it seems to be a bit child's play.

But Li Chao is no different.

Shinno Sekihei is recognized as excellent, and it is precisely Caibi Ganluo. Confucius has clouds, and there must be my teacher in the threesome. Although Li Chao is many years old, he is convinced by Guan Ping.

Guan Ping suddenly visited, and he thought he had some advice.

Guan Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Li County's order doesn't have to be so serious, I came to the door this time, but I had nothing to do, so I came to see the situation." ”

But Li Chao was still very serious when he heard this, and meticulously reported the situation to Guan Ping.

For example, how the people are.

The granary has grain geometry.

How many weapons are in the arsenal.

How many gold, silver, and copper coins and silks are there in the treasury.

Li Chao is an excellent county magistrate, and he knows everything here. Guan Ping nodded again and again when he heard this, but he didn't care, he didn't care about how much money he had in Shangyong.

appointed Li Chao as the county commander, and believed that Li Chao was.

Guan Ping listened impatiently, but reluctantly finished listening. Immediately, he asked, "How is the promotion of waterwheels and plows going?" ”

This is what Guan Ping values.

Waterwheels and plows can save a lot of manpower and material resources through practice, and can increase the efficiency of cultivation by half. Originally, it was planned that each person should maintain eight acres of crops, but after the introduction of waterwheels and plows, it was increased to twelve acres, and the results were remarkable.

There is a problem, though.

Ma Liang once said that the north has a large population and good utilization efficiency. If these two things spread to the north, I am afraid it will be more beneficial to Cao Cao.

However, the Fangling area has an advantage, it is remote, and it is difficult for the news to leak. Besides, Cao Cao's top people, who cares about plows and waterwheels?

At least until I know the effect of the plow and the waterwheel, I will not deliberately inquire whether Guan Ping used the new waterwheel and plough in Shangyong.

Guan Ping first raised the mediocre people, and raised them richly, and when the news spread, Guan Ping estimated that he would have more territory, and he was not afraid that Cao Cao would also know about waterwheels and plows.

"It's too reassuring. This matter is of the utmost importance, and I have summoned the right of craftsmen to build ploughs and waterwheels, and have organized people to dredge the canals and build reservoirs, and to make sure that the plows and waterwheels are in the hands of the people before the beginning of spring next year. Li Chao said with a serious face.

"That's very good." Guan Ping showed a happy look, and then said: "However, it is not easy for the government to build waterwheels and plows, and they cannot be given to the people, so they need to be charged a cost price." ”

"No." Li Chao promised.

After that, it was a small talk, and after passing a little time, Guan Ping returned to the temporary mansion where he stayed under the escort of Zhou Xiong.

After coming back, Guan Ping's ass was not yet hot. learned that an old mother Liu sent someone over, and Guan Ping hurriedly beckoned someone to come in.

But it was a few of Guan Yu's old soldiers, one of whom was missing an arm, and they were all his own people who watched Guan Ping grow up.

Guan Ping politely invited the old soldiers to sit down and set up wine for hospitality. The old soldiers thanked them first, and then told Guan Ping what Liu meant.

Guan Ping then remembered that he also had a nominal wife in Xinye. Guan Ping basically didn't feel anything about that person.

In fact, it's not hatred, it's just a high-flying girl.

Guan Ping let Zhou Xiong in and sent a group of personal soldiers back to Xinye. As soon as I came to pick up Zhang Yu's mother and son, Guan Ping was an SE ghost, and he was really uncomfortable without Zhang Yu by his side.

Second, he also told the Liu family, so he reconciled with the Liu family in Changsha.

The reason why Changsha Liu's family is called Guan Liu's is because he married Guan Ping, and after he left, the two parties had nothing to do with each other, so they were only called Liu's.

Although he is reconciled, he is also indispensable for settling accounts after the autumn.

Guan Ping told his mother Liu that for the entourage brought by the Liu family in Changsha, there were people who had been lawless, so they would be punished, and they would be dealt with as they should be treated.

Then send someone to send Changsha Liu to return to Xiangyang.

Since then, the road has been facing the sky, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

This is not divorce, this is divorce.

After that, Guan Ping stayed in Shangyong for more than ten days, and led Zhou Xiong, Li Fei and the soldiers of the battalion to return to Fangling before the New Year, and had time to celebrate the New Year in Fangling.

The next is ten years of Jian'an, and Guan Ping is also fourteen years old.

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

The third day of the first month of the tenth year of Jian'an.

The New Year has passed, but the joy is still there, and the new field is full of joy.

Last winter, Guan Yu sent troops to besiege Fancheng, and the battle lasted for several days, which caused quite a lot of damage, so that many people in Xinye wore linen and filial piety and handled funerals.

This New Year also came just in time, diluting a lot of sadness.

Outside the mansion of the Marquis of Hanshou in the city, two groups of people are planning to leave the mansion and go south today.

The mood of the two groups is very different.

In front of the Hou Mansion, Liu personally saw off Zhang Yu's mother and son, and a team of people were ready to go. Of course, Zhang Yu was going to the Fangling area to meet Guanping.

It's not far, but it's only a few hundred miles. It's a few days' walk away. But the road is basically a no-man's land in the wilderness, so people and horses are needed to protect Zhang Yu's safety.

This team of people was sent by Guan Ping.

Before leaving, Liu took Zhang Yu's hand and whispered. "Zhang's family, Ping'er is a good person, after going to Fangling, he is like a dragon entering the sea, I can't control him. After you pass, you need to be careful, don't let Ping'er mess with the woman all day long. ”

The things in this Hou Mansion basically can't be hidden from the eldest woman of the Liu family, and the Liu family also knows about this kind of thing.

Liu was afraid that his son would be good SE, and after he went to Fangling, no one would take care of him, and he was afraid that his son would die on the woman's belly, so he was very worried.

Guan Ping sent someone to pick up Zhang Yu over, and Liu naturally had to give some pointers.

"No." Zhang Yuxia flew her cheeks and responded in a low voice. Soon after, Zhang Yu took Deng Ai in his arms and got into the carriage, escorted by Guan Ping's own soldiers, and went to Fangling.

The other group is the Changsha Liu family.

Guan Ping unilaterally reconciled with the Liu clan in Changsha and drove them out of the Hanshou Marquis' Mansion. By the way, after the autumn, he settled the accounts and punished some evil slaves brought by the Liu family in Changsha.

However, there were hundreds of domestic slaves and slaves who were married by the Liu family in Changsha, and after punishing some, there were still many left. Guan Yu sent a team of personal soldiers to send Changsha Liu back to Xiangyang.

After Zhang Yu went out, Liu returned to the Hou Mansion. Then when Changsha Liu went out, the two sides were staggered. Changsha Liu rode on a tall horse, although he was sent away, but his face was full of joy.

She also felt that the fish entered the sea, and from then on the sea and the sky were at ease.
