At the end of June of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao ordered the general Cao Ren to supervise the 50,000 Ma Bu army to go to Nanyang Wancheng first.

On the first day of the seventh month, Cao Cao will set out for the expedition outside the city of Yecheng.

The south of Yecheng City is a bit of a general.

The platform is made of stone, tall and solemn. Cao Cao once sent troops at this point to recruit Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Liucheng Wuhuan.

Today, Cao Cao also ordered troops here and went south to Jingchu.

Sunny and windy.

The point blown by the strong wind will fly the flag of the word "Cao" on the platform and make a sound. On both sides of the stage, its own musicians play the sound of conquest.

The bells are quaint and ringing.

Cao Cao was dressed in a black robe, his hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, and the conference was civil and military. The eldest son Cao Pi, the son-in-law Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, etc. are also listed.

The sound of ritual music from the conquest.

The generals and ministers and strategists are widely distributed like clouds, and the generals and generals are inexhaustible in all parts of the stage, and the people and horses are not chaotic at all, quietly and silently, the flags are displayed, the spears are frosty white, and the armor is bright.

Flourishing.

Cao Cao first read the edict in the name of the emperor and crusaded against the unsubordinate in the name of the Son of Heaven. Then Cao Cao didn't say much, stretched out his right hand, and the general Xu Chu sent him a horsewhip.

Cao Cao bent his horsewhip with both hands and said, "Go on the expedition." ”

So Cao Cao took the lead in getting off the platform, and the civil and military forces followed him with his sword. When he came to the point general's stage, his own armor soldiers brought the war horse, and Cao Cao turned over his horse and went south.

An army of 150,000 marched south.

The pioneer Cao Ren was 50,000, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng received 150,000 yuan and went south to Jingchu.

and Guan Yu will hunt in Jingchu.

"Congratulations to my father." Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and the military generals who stayed in the north bowed and saluted.

...........

Cao Ren left Yecheng at the end of June and went to Wancheng. Such a big movement naturally can't hide from Xinye's ears and eyes.

The news was transmitted back to Xinye, and Guan Yu held a civil and military meeting in the Taishou Mansion.

Guan Yu's face was slightly gloomy, but he was very calm. The faces of the civil and military officials were a little apprehensive, but the generals were also very calm. As for Jian Yong, he no longer lies on his side, but sits upright, just moving from time to time.

But it was the news that kept going south, and Xinye Wenwu had already been mentally prepared, so he was not flustered.

Guan Yu said: "It seems that it is impossible for the grain outside the city to be harvested in autumn. ordered the officials and people to enter the city, and ordered the soldiers to set fire to the rice outside the city, and not a grain of grain could be left for Cao Jun. ”

Immediately, Guan Yu said: "After the people enter the city, they will be reorganized. Bows and arrows, weapons, leather armor were issued. At this moment, when survival is at stake, men should fight, and women should be lucky. ”

"No." Yin Guan, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Gan Ning and others suddenly agreed, and then the civil and military forces went down calmly.

The sky is falling.

There are more than 200,000 people inside and outside Xinye City, and with the minority population, there must be as many as 300,000 or 400,000.

These people have been continuously gathered by Xinye since the time of Liu Bei. Liu Bei Rende, Guan's father and son inherited the foundation and governed the people with benevolence.

The tax revenue is only 30%, and it is not easy to abuse the people.

It has been six or seven years since Jian'an was established seven years ago.

The people's hearts are naturally towards the Guan father and son.

But seeing that a year's work was burned to ashes by a fire, the people still cried, cried and cried, and dragged their families with their families, took the most important materials, and went to Xinye.

Xinye is still divided into four townships, with pavilions and miles under it. However, unlike the shabby of Xinye at the beginning, the pavilions under Xinye at this moment are very prosperous.

The place where the township gathers is already the scale of a small town. Zhuting also belongs to the street level.

The pavilion chief is also set up with a yamen, where it is, the street is opened, many merchants open shops along the street, and the people come and go, in an endless stream.

Changshui Pavilion is one of them.

Li Chun, the head of the Changshui Pavilion, is the younger brother of Li Zheng, the general of Fangling, because he can read and write, and he is a good person, so he was promoted to the pavilion chief.

Li Zheng is a good soldier and often does not eat enough. In fact, it didn't bring any real benefits to the clan, and he often hit the family with toothpicks.

But it brought fame.

The Li family has been a farmer for generations, and the poor family in the cold family. Producing a leading general is really smoking from the ancestral tomb. Therefore, the entire Li family is very supportive of the Guan family.

In this context, Li Chun became the chief of the Changshui Pavilion. Of course, I did my best and did my best to do my errands very seriously.

However, the official atmosphere of Xinye is very good, from Guan Yu to the pavilion chief, to the chief, and there are almost no treacherous and greedy people.

Even if there is, it is hidden, and it does not dare to reveal its true nature.

Because the Guan family's punishment for these treacherous and greedy officials is very strong.

The atmosphere of the government is very good, and the people below are honest, but they don't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble. Therefore, the folk customs of the whole Xinye are very good.

As the saying goes, the road is not left behind, and the night is not closed.

Under such circumstances, what a pavilion chief like Li Chun can do is to mediate neighborhood conflicts, collect taxes, and other small trivial matters.

Even if Li Chun wanted to catch a thief, he couldn't do it.

Because there are no thieves at all.

Now it is a troubled time, and the whole world is in an unstable environment.

In such a situation, Xinye can be so stable because of the blessing of General Zuo Liu Gong, Hanshou Hou Guan Gong, and Xiaojun Hou.

Li Chun had never met Liu Bei, the general of the left, nor had he met Guan Ping, the Marquis of Xiaojun, but he was fortunate to have met Guan Yu. Li Chun knew a little about painting, so he painted a portrait of Guan Yu by himself, enshrined it at home, and offered incense from time to time.

This is not Guan Yu's case, but the atmosphere of the entire Han Dynasty. Where there are virtuous ministers, the people must hide their portraits at home and visit them from time to time.

Confucius said that Yong can also make the south.

The Guan family has a father and son.

These days, Li Chun is a little tossing and turning, because with the gradual convergence of news from the north, even a pavilion chief like Li Chun knows that Cao Cao is afraid that he will go south.

Although Li Chun did not have the heart of rebellion, on the contrary, Li Chun's support for the Guan family was very strong. But who is the other party? It's Cao Cao who swept the world.

As the saying goes, there is no loneliness in the world, and I don't know how many people are kings and how many people are emperors.

Although Cao Cao was criticized by scholars for various reasons, especially Jing Chu and a group of scholars, they were eager to spray Cao Cao to death.

But there is one thing that cannot be erased, Cao Cao is really strong.

Now the official worships the prime minister and has an overview of the government.

Looking up at the north, Cao Cheng looked invincible.

Even though Li Chun is very confident in the Guan family, he can't help but feel worried.

Li Chun didn't sleep well that day, and he woke up in the morning with two big dark circles under his eyes.

"Husband. You don't sleep so well at night, why don't you ask a doctor to come and prescribe some medicine. Li Chun's wife, Wang said worriedly when he saw this.

"It's okay." Li Chun shook his head, he needs a new medicine doctor for heart disease, he knows where his heart disease is, what other doctor to see?

For that money, it's better to buy more meat to eat.

Li Chun got up and washed up, and after having breakfast with Wang and the children, he poured out a glass of turbid wine, came to Guan Yu's portrait, and toasted and bowed.

People like Li Chun can't afford to drink Mi's wine, so ordinary folk wine is popular.

As the pavilion chief, there is nothing to do at this time. But it's okay to go out and walk around. Look at the fertile fields around you, and when you get it in autumn, you will have a good harvest.

This year is bound to be a bumper year.

This is the happiest time of every year for Li Chun.

If there is a bumper harvest of grain, the Guan family will not lack food, and the Guan family will not lack food, so everyone is good.

Li Chun took four subordinate servants and walked according to the sword. Although it is still early at this moment, there are already quite a lot of people in the pavilion, selling some superfluous things at home, buying what is missing at home, and taking what they need, which is the market.

Li Chun was very famous in Changshui Pavilion, and many people greeted him along the way, and Li Chun's face was shining brightly and smiling.

Thanks to the blessing of the Guan family, my Li family has produced a leading general, and I, Li Chun, have also become the pavilion chief.

Glory to the ancestors, glory to the ancestors.

Li Chun quickly left the pavilion and came to the farmland outside the pavilion, the rice was close to maturity, and the ears of rice began to heavily.

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded rapidly. Li Chun was surprised, there are very few horses in Xinye folk, which adult came to Changshui Pavilion?

Li Chun turned his head to look at it, and he smiled, but it turned out to be a familiar official in the township, named Xu He. Xu He was riding a donkey and came quickly.

"Xu Daren is looking for me to drink?" Li Chun stopped on the side of the road, waiting for Xu He to come closer, and then smiled. Unexpectedly, Xu He's face was solemn, he turned over and dismounted and said, "Disaster has come." The lord ordered the towns, pavilions, and officials outside the city to burn the rice outside the city. Men and women enter the city, men fight, women move. ”

Li Chun was stunned when he heard this, and lost his voice: "Why is this? ”

"The news came, and Cao Cao beat it down. It's too late to harvest the grain. Xu He stomped his feet, five points of resentment, three points of fear, and two points of lamentation.

"Cao Cao is really here?" Li Chun's right hand of pressing the sword fell weakly, and the four officials behind him were also shocked, as if they had lost their father.

Although the gossip is flying all over the sky, if he can, Li Chunzhen doesn't want it to be true.

"It's really coming. The front part of it is about to reach Wancheng. Pavilion Chief Li, you are so good to prepare, I need to ride a donkey to the next pavilion. ”

Xu He sighed again, shook his head and turned over the donkey, then waved the whip and rode the donkey as if it were a horse.

After Xu He left, Li Chun and the four officials were silent for a long time. After a long time, a servant held on to the hope of what happened, and hoped: "Even if Cao Cao really called, we will accompany the Marquis of Hanshou to live and die together." Hanshou Hou dominates the world, and Xinye Xiongcheng may not be unstoppable. Can the grain outside the city be collected after the war is over? ”

These servants are all on errands to eat food, but the old and weak in the family are all busy in the fields. In the past six months, I have worked hard, and I see that the autumn harvest is about to begin, but I have to burn the rice.

It's heart-wrenching when I think about it.

"There is no time limit for fighting, maybe it will last a year and a half. The rice was not harvested, and after a while the ground was rotten. Not to mention a year and a half. Besides, wouldn't it be stupid if it wasn't burned and it was obtained by Cao Jun? Burn it, burn it, as long as the Guan family is still there, everything will be fine. If Cao Cao occupies Xinye, we will have a hard time. Li Chun was knowledgeable, gritted his teeth and said.

But it is said that Cao Cao is in the south and is generally demonized.

In the hearts of the people, Cao Cao is equivalent to a tyrant and traitor.
