Chapter 9 Reflections
Sekihei soon learned about Shinno's difficulties.
Guan Ping is indeed talented, the first time he rode out on a horse, he needed Zhou Xiong to lead, and soon after, he could go by himself, and then he could gallop.
Go out of the city, gallop on horseback, no problem.
These days, Guan Ping rode a horse outside the city to have fun, ate breakfast every day and went out, and returned at sunset. Today, after sunset, the night is getting darker.
Guan Ping returned to the Hou Mansion with Zhou Xiong, Li Fei and other teenagers.
The gate of the Hou Mansion was open, and a disabled old man who had lost his right arm looked out in front of the door. Seeing Guan Ping and the others coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Little General, Madam has already prepared a meal, just waiting for the little general to come back." ”
Then the old pawn glared vaguely at the second general, Zhou Xiong, and Li Fei, complaining that these two people didn't care about the little general. Hum Ha, the second general is also helpless.
But it was Guan Ping who galloped on horseback, and they couldn't catch up with him behind. Every time, it takes a long time to find Guan Ping and persuade Guan Ping to go home, but Guan Ping doesn't listen, so it's so late every day.
Guan Ping didn't need the support of others, so he turned over and dismounted and fell to the ground. handed over the reins to Zhou Xiong and said to the old man, "Got it." ”
Then Guan Ping walked into the Hou Mansion and came to the lobby. After coming to the lobby, Guan Ping saw Liu sitting on the main seat, and Guan Yu was not there.
Guan Ping didn't care, Guan Yu was often in the barracks and didn't go home much. Guan Xing is still young, and he has his own nurse to serve and eat. usually eats, there are only Liu and Guan Ping.
"Mother." Although Guan Ping missed the meal every time, he had great respect for the Liu family and bowed forward.
"Ping'er is back." Liu never mentioned that Guan Ping missed the meal, and said with a smile on his face. Then he ordered the maid to bring the meal.
In the Han Dynasty, they sat and ate separately. Soon after, the maids each came up with a large plate and placed it on the table in front of Liu and Guan Ping.
Guan Ping looked down at a large crucian carp, some meat, a little pickles, and two large bowls of rice. Don't look at his young age, but he has infinite strength and an amazing amount of food.
Such a small meal is only enough for eight points of fullness.
Guan Ping made a muffled voice and quickly finished the meal, not even a grain of rice left.
Liu ate less and prepared fewer meals, and finished eating earlier than Guan Ping. Seeing Guan Ping put down his chopsticks, Liu said: "Ping'er, your father went fishing in Hanshui, and explained to me before leaving." Let you go to school, tomorrow you won't be able to ride Ma Sahuan anymore. ”
Guan Ping frowned, his memory was clear. Sun Qian, Jian Yong teaches serious knowledge, such as Zuo Chuan, Liutao and the like.
These books are commonplace, and naturally useful. But in troubled times, it is not very useful. There is no point in learning. Furthermore, Guan Ping is determined to be a serious Yanei, fighting cocks and dogs, and being happy and happy.
And this is also very easy, as long as Guan Yu does not lose Jingzhou, enters Yizhou without losing Pang Tong, Zhang Fei is not killed by his subordinates, and then teaches Liu Chan well, with the strength of Shu Han, not to mention going north to the Central Plains, returning to the old capital, it is not difficult to be safe.
Rich and noble, at ease.
Guan Ping was impatient to learn this knowledge.
However, although the Liu family is loving, he is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and this matter was explained by Guan Yu. Guan Ping knew that it would be impossible not to go.
Let's talk about it tomorrow, take the opportunity to be a demon and be kicked out.
Thinking about it, Guan Ping suddenly realized that Guan Yu was going to go fishing in Hanshui. "My father actually wants to go fishing in Hanshui, is it because there is not enough money and food in the army?"
Guan Ping Shun touched the melon, and guessed that Xinye's situation was not good, and blurted out his debut.
It made Liu Shi stunned for a moment, and then he was glad that Guan Ping was so anxious. He nodded with a smile in his eyebrows and eyes: "I don't know very well, but I also know from your father's words that Xinye is short of food." Your third uncle took the archers to hunt, and your father took the soldiers to fish and subsidize the army. ”
Guan Ping smiled when he heard this, and said: "Guan Yu fishing, Zhang Fei hunting, it is also a luxury. ”
"Ping'er, how can you be so rude to your father and uncle." Liu Shi was stunned, and said angrily.
"Mother, I was wrong." Guan Ping quickly apologized.
Liu began to chant that he should not be so rude. Guan Ping shrugged his head and listened, and left as if he was running away after he was done.
The Guan family has a large population, and Guan Yu raised many disabled old men in the house, as well as Zhou Xiong, Li Fei and other teenagers.
But there were very few maidservants. Only the Liu family has a maidservant by his side, and Guan Xing has a wet nurse.
Guan Ping's daily life is also served by the teenagers, when Guan Ping came back, it was already dark, the room was already lit up with oil lamps, and Zhou Xiong was already waiting.
"Little General, the hot water is already boiling." Zhou Xiong bent over and said with a smile.
A strong young man, galloping on a horse, bending a bow and shooting rabbits, he can also become a general in the future. But it is obscene, there is only a little general in his eyes, groveling.
When Guan Ping saw Zhou Xiong, he sometimes felt that hatred of iron could not become steel.
But forget it, Zhou Cang is Guan Yu's general. And Zhou Xiong is also my personal rider. Zhou's father and son are people close to my Guan family, so it's normal.
"Let's take a shower, then. Remember to use more force when rubbing in the shower, I really sweated a lot today, and my body was sticky. Guan Ping said.
"No." Zhou Xiong promised. Immediately, Guan Ping finished taking a bath under Zhou Xiong's service and lay down comfortably.
October is a cold winter, and it is cold to the bone. Like Li Fei, lying in the futon at night and shivering, he needs someone to warm up.
But people as talented as Zhou Xiong and Guan Ping got warm up when they got into the futon. After Guan Ping lay down, Zhou Xiong blew out the oil lamp and went to sleep.
Guan Ping did not fall asleep immediately, but fell into deep thought.
According to the history books, Liu Biao not only used Liu Bei, but also guarded against Liu Bei. Sure enough.
What is most important if you want to achieve great things?
Money and food!
As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first. If Liu Bei had enough money and food, he could have a way to recruit more people and raise more soldiers.
But this was a big threat to Liu Biao, so Liu Biao gave Liu Bei little money and food, so he could only let Liu Bei raise 3,000 soldiers and horses, half dead.
In this way, Liu Bei can not only be a cow and a horse, guarding Xinye, the gateway to Jingzhou, but also not growing up and threatening the status of the master.
Keep hunting dogs for hunting, and don't feed them to their fullness.
So much for.
But I didn't let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go hunting and fishing before. Could it be that the money and food given by Liu Biao are getting less and less, and he can't even afford to raise 3,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Bei had no choice but to do this?
It's miserable.
You must know that Guan Ping relies on Liu Bei's thigh, and Liu Bei is not bad to him. So I'm quite sorry for the big-eared thief.
Thinking of this, Guan Ping had some more thoughts.
In history, the sixth year of Jian'an to the thirteenth year of Jian'an was Liu Bei's henning period, and needless to say, he soared into the sky in the future. But if you can get money and food, it will make Liu Bei's life better.
Then Xinye's retreat will not be so miserable, Dangyang was defeated, Xu Shu lost his mother, so he was in chaos, and Cao Cao was in the north.
Liu Bei lost his two daughters and almost lost his wife, but fortunately, Zhao Yun supported Mrs. Gan and Adou came back.
Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and dozens of others rode away. If it weren't for Zhang Fei breaking the bridge according to the water, he would have looked at him with a spear and said: "If you are Zhang Yide, you can come to die together!" ”
It was really the pinnacle of Zhang Fei's life.
It also saved Liu Bei from being killed.
If you ignore it, then this scene will still happen. I'm fine, and so am my family. But Xu Shu had a problem, and he lost too badly.
If I find a way to get some money and food, so that Liu Bei can gather more soldiers and people, maybe I can have a butterfly effect and change the big result.
Guan Ping thought about it like this, and then made a decision.
But then I was worried, how can I get money and food?
