On the 26th, Tian Xin disbanded his army and returned to Gangneung Castle.

Pang Lin returned from Xiangyang, greeted Tian Xin at the wharf outside the city, and handed out a roster: "Yesterday, Jiangdong escorted 50,000 stone of rice, 30,000 stone of beans, and 8,000 horses of cloth to Hanjin. And agreed that ten days later, another 50,000 stones of rice would be transported, and 30,000 stones would be transported. ”

Tian Xin looked at the roster, this is the son of the big clan who escaped from Jiangdong in the near future, and there are two people in it who claim to be the arrow throwing book Yu Tian Xin, one is Zhou Wei of Wu County, and the other is Zhang Wen of Wu County.

It is also introduced in the roster that the Zhu family of the four surnames of Wu County, Zhu Huan and Zhu Ju, were not implicated, and the remaining Gu, Lu, and Zhang families were all destroyed, and their children and former officials were all imprisoned or beheaded; The four surnames of Huiji, Zhongyu and Xie Jing, fled abroad, and the remaining clans, the Wei family, and the Kong family were wiped out by Sun Quan.

Tian Xin blinked, and the more he looked at the name Zhou Wei, the more familiar he felt: "Brother Shiheng, when will Lu Boyan enter Shu to pay homage to the King of Han?" ”

Lu Yi came from a big place, and he led the army back, not Jingzhou can be resettled at will, only Liu Bei can be resettled.

The rest of the people are easy to settle, most of them flee lightly, and send their travel to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou can take care of whether it is requisitioned or not.

Tian Xin asked, and Pang Lin replied hesitantly: "The day before yesterday, Lu Boyan had already set off, and Zhuge Ziyu and Wu Hou's sister also went to Yizhou together. ”

Saying that, Pang Lin laughed: "It seems that he wants to take Changsha and Guiyang counties as his daughter's dowry." ”

"And pro?"

Tian Xin was a little surprised, rolled up the bamboo slip and handed it to Pang Lin: "Brother Shiheng thinks what will be the result of the peace between the two families?" ”

"General, Jing Yi is empty and unable to fight again. Even if peace is negotiated, or even an alliance is formed, it is only a discord between the face and the heart, and it is an expedient measure. ”

Pang Lin reiterated the key: "Our army urgently needs to recuperate, and the tired army will fall after a long battle." ”

This is the consensus of the Jingzhou Military Commanders and Schools, and on this basis, it is natural for them to temporarily back down and support the peace talks on the Yizhou side.

I really can't get out, it's too dangerous to hit out, and I should accept it when I see it.

Tian Xin saw Pang Lin's expectant expression, so he said, "I also know that the officials are tired. Brother Shiheng is relieved, the King of Han accepts Sun Quan's peace for the sake of the overall situation, and we can understand it. It's just that Sun Quan is cunning and often makes small means to deceive people. I want to move the town of Baqiu to control the mouth of the Xiang River, and Jiangdong dares to use tricks, so I will fight a battle first. ”

It is impossible for Pang Lin to withdraw from Xiangyang to Jiangling for no reason, and he came to Jiangling for himself.

Tian Xin added: "I call it war to promote peace, and only by hanging the sword on Sun Quan's neck will this person easily retreat." ”

"That's fine, I will go to Gongheng with Xiaoxian to state this matter."

After a little consideration, Pang Lin agreed, and the garrisons in the Jingnan area would definitely be transferred to various water transportation nodes.

The situation of the confrontation between the two sides is different, and the importance of the nodes of the water system is also different.

With the current situation, if peace is negotiated, Guiyang County does not need to garrison valuable standing troops, only the county soldiers can be left.

As long as you hoard troops and horses in Xiangguan, Baqiu, and Lukou, you can guard against the Wu army, and Xiangguan is on the edge of the county seat of Lingling County, defending against the enemy in Jiaozhou in the south; Lukou is on the Chibi battlefield, which can resist and warn the enemy in Xiakou in the east.

Baqiu is in Dongting Lake, located between Xiangguan and Lukou, and just places the newly formed Left Army Water Division, the Left Army Water Division can be regarded as the Xiangjiang River Water Army, and Guan Yu's former Army Water Division is the Han River Water Army.

As the battlefield advanced to Nanyang in the future, the importance of the naval division plummeted.

When he returned to the barracks, Ma Chao sent someone to send a volume of official documents, the content of which was to request that Yan Pu be killed.

Tian Xin took off his armor and came to the brazier to catch the official document when he came to the brazier to roast the fire, and when he saw Pang Lin frowning, he asked: "General Zuo wants to punish Yan Pu, Brother Shiheng thinks it's inappropriate?" ”

"Yes, General Zuo sent this official letter to Huya Mountain every day, and the guards detained it without replying. I don't want the general to get involved in this matter as soon as he returns to Gangneung. ”

Pang Lin had already placed the three-legged round-bellied and double-eared copper tripod on the brazier as he spoke, and wiped the inner wall of the copper tripod: "Killing the military officials without guilt will have a bad impact." But if General Zuo does not take revenge, his will will be frustrated. ”

Ma Chao is a person with revenge, and he is by no means a magnanimous person.

The enemy is under his hands, and he has endured it until now and does not kill, which has already given Liu Bei and Jingzhou Jun enough face.

If you don't kill Yan Pu, Ma Chao doesn't want to talk about daily office management, but he doesn't have a taste for eating and drinking.

Pang Lin carefully described Ma Chao's recent state, holding the oil gourd and pouring sesame oil into the copper tripod, this is now called sesame oil, and after the oil temperature rises, put in the prepared star anise, cinnamon, ginger slices, and peppercorns and stir-fry, crackling and fragrant.

Then he added boiled white fish bone soup to the copper tripod, and Pang Lin rolled up his sleeves to add tripe slices, bamboo shoot slices, soaked dried mushrooms and other ingredients to the copper tripod.

Letting it cook, Pang Lin finally sighed: "The protectors are only delayed, and in a few days Ma Ji will often come to Jingzhou, and Ma Ji will persuade General Zuo to avoid conflict." ”

Ma Liang came to Jingzhou to announce the reward as a waiter, during which he could talk to Ma Chao on behalf of Liu Bei and dissuade Ma Chao.

Tian Xin probably also understands Huang Quan and Pang Lin's scruples, Ma Chao's identity is very sensitive, and now he is holding the enemy to kill, which is a temptation.

If he agreed, Ma Chao would happily do things after killing Yan Pu; If it is dissuaded, Ma Chao will be really depressed.

Things are as simple as that, the novel is Ma Chao's heart knot, and at the most it is related to the image of the Han army.

Tian Xin scooped up half a bowl of fish soup and took a sip, and suddenly asked: "Brother Shiheng, I have a grudge against Cao Wei." I don't want to punish the Cao clan, why do I have to kill one-third of it to relieve my hatred. If the Cao clan led the army to surrender, should I kill it? ”

Pang Lin was stunned, and then smiled: "With the courage of filial piety, I will not give the enemy a chance to surrender." With the benevolence of filial piety, if he leads an army to surrender from afar, filial piety will never do anything to kill. ”

"Having said that, what General Zuo is embarrassed about today is not what I will face tomorrow?"

Tian Xin said: "If the situation today is different from the past, I don't think it's worth it to save Yan Pu's life and sacrifice General Zuo." The failure of the Wei Sarcasm uprising shows that the morality of Hebei and the Central Plains is gone. Our army gives preferential treatment to prisoners and surrenders, but it encourages their generation to be stubborn. ”

"Killing Yan Pu can strengthen General Zuo's heart, and it can make the enemy hesitate to advance and retreat with more concerns, I think I can kill Yan Pu."

Tian Xin saw that Pang Lin was silently picking up the boiled vegetables, and Tian Xin continued: "At this time, the guards are in trouble, and Ma Ji often comes to Jingzhou, so is it difficult. If I don't bear it alone, let the king of Han sin against me alone. ”

After saying that, Tian Xin turned around and pulled back the bamboo slip from the table on one side, and signed it: It is appropriate to be punished, which can warn the hearts of the world.

Seeing Tian Xin's signature, Pang Lin stretched out his hand to catch the pen, and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Xian is the deputy general of the Left Army, and signing the official document of General Zuo is afraid of making everyone laugh." I joined the army, and the influence of this matter is still above Xiaoxian, so it is better to sign it together. ”

Tian Xin put the pen back, rolled up the bamboo slips and clapped his hands vigorously, and said to Pang Lin: "Brother Shiheng, my brother knows that the King of Han is going to make me the Marquis of Hugu Pavilion, I think it is inappropriate, and I have the intention of resigning." Just do something happy before resigning, Brother Shiheng doesn't have to be involved. ”

Pang Lin just sighed, and when he heard Tian Xin's clapping, Yan Zhong, the commander of the tribe, appeared in front of the barracks door, and Tian Xin raised the bamboo slip in his hand: "Transfer this article to General Zuo." ”
