The problems considered by the potters are still relatively practical.

Aside from the county marquis, the so-called land boundary eaten by the pavilion marquis is only a radius of ten miles, which is almost the size of two small villages.

In this way, although the food of the feudal people cannot share much of the country's resources, it is different in this era - because there are too many people.

Especially at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, the people who were named marquis were in groups, and the title of marquis was like wholesale on Double Eleven, and a large number of them were promoted by the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, which seriously disrupted the market value of the princes' circle titles.

Although some marquis are only nominal and have no fixed fiefdoms, for the Three Kingdoms era when the population was declining sharply, a marquis had to occupy the eup, which was also a big burden for a country that had been war-torn for many years.

It is indeed a top priority to divide the Pavilion Marquis into smaller areas so that it can cope with the various Marquis who will grow like ants in the future because of their military exploits.

But to be honest, there are not many households within a radius of ten miles with pavilions as units, and if they are really subdivided, their food is really the number of households in a community.

Therefore, from now on, there is nothing wrong with calling these new Hou Ye as community Hou or street office Hou.

……

After the negotiation was decided, the potters immediately divided 10,000 elites and handed them over to Guo Jia's commander, and Donglai County was Tai Shici's hometown, so the potters also let Tai Shici accompany him to go to the cross-sea sneak attack.

The location of the Donglai County region is probably the Jiaodong Peninsula in later generations, that is, the land of Yantai and Weihai. Its land was independently branched out from the Central Plains to the east, so as long as the enemy held the throat of the Central Plains, the potters could not fight from the Xuzhou boundary.

But by boat, Yuan Jun was no one to stop him.

As for the person responsible for transporting soldiers and generals back and forth on the sea, it is naturally Gan Ning.

At the time of parting at the port, Guo Jia actually cried.

He sobbed and said: "I heard that on the sea, there are often wind and waves, but now it is a troubled time, the sky has no eyes, and Guo Mou will have to capsize and die in the belly of the fish this time...... If Guo dies, remember to let people take good care of my widow and children, so that they can have food to eat when they are hungry and clothes to wear when they are cold. ”

Gan Ning's face was red and his neck was thick, but he was embarrassed to attack because of Guo Jia's identity.

"Guo Weiwei, this is Lao Tzu is now in the army, if it was changed to when he was still a water thief, he said this frustrating thing to you before sailing, it is understandable for Lao Tzu to chop you into a thousand pieces and feed them to the dogs...... Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and get on board! ”

Guo Jia reluctantly turned around and walked to the deck.

The potter beckoned to him behind him: "Brother Feng Xiao cherishes, this expedition, remember to throw your head and spill your blood, often think about serving the country and giving up your body, Donglai County will all depend on you, and we will celebrate the New Year together in Qingzhou when we go back." ”

Guo Jia was so sick when he heard the words that he almost didn't fall off the board.

What does it mean to serve the country and sacrifice this body?

Can you say something auspicious!

The potter said to Tai Shici again: "Brother, take care, please take good care of Guo Weiwei, remember to never leave him." ”

Tai Shi Ci was very moved to see that the potters cared so much about Guo Jia.

The third brother treats his cronies, it's really good and has nothing to say!

Tai Shici said solemnly: "Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely protect Guo Weiwei well, never leave, and not let him be damaged in the slightest." ”

The potter shook his head and said, "Brother, you misunderstood, I asked you to look at him, which means that this expedition to conquer Donglai County is to take him as the main commander!" No one in the other generals dared to stop him, so you have the qualifications to pick him up, if he is too lawless, you remember to shave him for me. ”

Tai Shi Ci: "......"

Guo Jia turned his head abruptly and snorted angrily: "Go back!" Hurry up and go back to Guo! Are you here to give it away? Sincerity is to add blockage to Guo...... Let me go! ”

The potter smiled at Tai Shi Ci and winked, and then led the group out of the dock.

In this way, the route of the Xuzhou army was set.

The potters attacked Qingzhou head-on, and Guo Jia and Tai Shici secretly smuggled to Donglai County and attacked Qingzhou.

……

Jingzhou, Jiangling.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After losing the battle with the Jinling Naval Army, Liu Biao did not rush back to Xiangyang in a hurry, but led the crowd to observe the movements of the Jinling Army in Xiling, the main city of Jiangxia.

He saw that the potters did not take advantage of the victory to march and attack Jiangxia County, so he relieved his heart and returned to Jiangling Mianjun for the time being.

said that it was a noodle gentleman, but Liu Qiong was just a doll, what could I say? To put it bluntly, it was just an excuse for Liu Biao to go back to Jiangling to recuperate.

He lost this battle so badly, so miserable that Liu Biao was depressed for a while, and his physical health index dropped rapidly in a straight line.

He even contracted a cold, coughed incessantly every day, and had a high fever from time to time.

What people didn't expect was that during the period when Liu Biao was ill, Liu Bei actually came to take care of him personally, sent him medicine every day, and sought medical treatment everywhere, invited many famous doctors near Jiangling to come over to consult Liu Biao, and formulated the best recuperation plan, so that Liu Biao's illness quickly improved.

Everything Liu Bei did, others disdained him, thinking that he was a flatterer, but Liu Bei's sincerity fell in Liu Biao's eyes.

He was very moved by what Liu Bei had done.

……

On this day, Liu Bei went to Liu Biao's residence to visit him again, and personally helped Liu Biao cook and feed the medicine.

A dignified general Zuo, who can do it to this extent, is really too wronged by him.

Liu Biao leaned on the bed and slowly finished the medicine.

He wiped his mouth and suddenly asked Liu Bei: "Xuande, what are the ministers discussing in the court today?" ”

Liu Bei was speechless for a moment.

The courtiers who were divided by the princes back then, as well as the ministers who were later exiled to Fan County, now according to their personal relationships, many of them have come to Jingzhou to become old cadres again, and these people are basically inclined to finish up in terms of political ideology and interpersonal relationships.

Liu Biao has been sick recently, so he didn't go to court on time, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have eyeliner in the court, and he naturally knows the important things discussed in the court.

Seeing Liu Bei hesitating, Liu Biao smiled: "Between you and my brothers, do you still need such a life?" Say whatever you want. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "There is a report in the south, saying that after Zhang Xian recuperated for half a year, he tried to rebel again, and this time he also colluded with Zhang Wu and Chen Sun of Jiangxia...... Most of the ministers agreed. ”

Liu Biao leaned on the soft collapse, slowly closed his eyes, and a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth.

"What the old man thinks is quite beautiful, what is the use of the minister's approval? Don't they know in whose hands the power of the war is? ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything when he heard this.

That's just the way it is.

After going down to the court, Dong Cheng received the order of Fu Wan and went to Cai Mao to ask for a general, but what Cai Mao threw to him was just a big white eye and a heavy "Hmph!" ”

Then he turned around and left, throwing Dong Cheng in place so embarrassed.

After Fu Wan knew about this, he was furious, and he thought that he should be angry, and the military order of his prime minister's mansion was not even a fart when he arrived at Cai Mao, so he didn't pee on him at all, but unfortunately he was helpless.

After being angry, he scolded Liu Biao for supporting the army and respecting himself.

"If you send a soldier after Fu Wan, it is okay for him to go to Zhang Xian, after all, he is doing things for the imperial court, and the old man will not hold on to this bit of military power, but the question is that although Dong Cheng was born in the Xiliang Army, where is the material for the commander of the army?" Liu Biao mocked to himself.

After that, he turned his head and looked at Liu Bei: "Xuande, you said that Zhang Xian is the right person?" ”

Liu Bei thought about it seriously and said, "Naturally, General Cai has to go in person." ”

Liu Biao shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid it won't work, now that Jiangxia's navy has been defeated, Cai Mao needs to stay here and re-recruit the navy, I'm afraid there is nothing to spare...... Xuande, otherwise, the old man will give you soldiers, and you will pacify Jingnan for the imperial court, how about it? ”
