Xiping 17th year, October

Liu Bei led the soldiers of the Northern Army and escorted Yang Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, and many of his guards to the Sili area.

Just stepped into the Si Li, I saw the military camp head-on, the camp was located on the side of the road from Nanjun into the Si Li, the flags were in a row, and the sound of war drums from the camp tent could be heard from a distance, and the strangeness of this place was discovered, Guan Yu hurriedly asked the soldiers to stop, when they left, there was still no garrison here, of course, the other party also found their traces, only to see a few knights galloping over, restraining their horses in front of Liu Bei and others, and looking at them.

"Dare to ask if the one who came is a brother of the Northern Army?"

The knight asked, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu on the side, Guan Yu stepped forward and said, "Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Military Academy, is here, what battalion are you??" ”

Hearing Guan Yu's words, there was a burst of laughter from afar, and a person rode a horse, slowly and leisurely came to Guan Yu's face, lowered his head, looked at Guan Yu, and said slowly: "Where is Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Military Academy?" Don't hurry up to meet Captain Sili!! ”

Guan Yu snorted coldly, without words, Liu Bei on the side stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Captain Hua, I don't know what Captain Hua has to do with this?" ”

Hua Xiong saw Liu Bei, and also dismounted, and ordered the soldiers on the side to lead, and said a little helplessly: "It's not your business, it was Your Majesty who asked me to come, hand over the prisoners, I just finished dealing with the affairs of the division, and I haven't been able to rest for a few days, I have to come here to wait for you, I knew that this lieutenant of the division was so busy, I won't do it, I should go to replace Dong Gong as the captain, but it's a pity, I gave it to Sun Jian's kid...."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "It's really difficult to be a captain, what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"Let me take these people back, as for you, Your Majesty said, continue to work..."

Liu Bei squinted his eyes and continued to be busy?? He probably understood the thoughts of the Son of Heaven, nodded, looked at Guan Yu on the side, and said: "I'm tired of the captain, do the handover...", Hua Xiong stepped forward directly, pulled Guan Yu to hand over the prisoners, and was still talking all the way, Guan Yu didn't say a word, and he couldn't get rid of him, Liu Bei watched the two go away, and called Man Zhong over.

"Berning, the meaning of the Son of Heaven, I think you also understand... After handing over the prisoners to Lieutenant Hua, we immediately set off, bothering Your Excellency to Yizhou, and I to Yangzhou.... Now that the traitors in Jingzhou have been eliminated, the traitors everywhere must be terrified and panicked, so at such a time, we also happened to go to these two places to deter the traitors from being petty, so that they would not dare to cause trouble to the people again..."

Man Zhong nodded, but said: "I will go to Yizhou, I can borrow soldiers from the Southern Army to help, and Your Excellency will take Captain Guan to Yangzhou... I went to Yizhou alone..."

The two talked for a long time, Hua Xiong and Guan Yu came over, Hua Xiong was still talking about something, Guan Yu came over, nodded towards Liu Bei, Liu Bei said: "Captain Hua, we still have important things to do, so we don't have to bother... We say goodbye!! ”

Guan Yu was still speechless, and was about to leave with Liu Bei, Hua Xiong grabbed Guan Yu's arm, stared at him, and said seriously: "You came back earlier... Come back early... Captain Yuan, he misses you very much..."

Hearing Hua Xiong's words, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't he cured?" You..."

Hua Xiong suddenly laughed, nodded, and said, "He is indeed healed... It's just that you haven't come to see the captain since you were transferred to the Northern Army, so come back early and visit him..."

Guan Yu nodded, bowed lightly to Hua Xiong, said take care, and then left Si Li.

Looking at Guan Yu in the distance, Hua Xiong smiled and sent him away, when Guan Yu disappeared into the distance, Hua Xiong's face was a rare trace of sadness.

Liu Bei and Man Chong returned to Jingzhou, and immediately divided into two roads, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and six hundred northern soldiers to Yangzhou, Man Chong only led more than 200 people to Yizhou, Liu Bei just wanted to take this opportunity to scare these restless clans in the south, let them see the power of the Son of Heaven Sword, only once tasted, they will be afraid, dare not commit again!

At this time, the official school became the secondary, and the primary target turned to the powerful clans in the south, these traitors who oppressed the people and ignored the law, after all, ushered in the cool officials who could subdue them.

When the people in Yangzhou heard that Liu Bei was coming, they seemed to have returned to decades ago, at that time, it was also their group of people, at that time, when they heard that Wang Fu was coming, these people were so frightened that they were restless, and a few couldn't stand such a fright, and committed suicide directly, and now Liu Bei came, but there was quite a posture of Wang Fu's arrival, when Wang Fu just arrived in Yangzhou, severely punished the local powerful clan, more than ten years have passed, and today's Yangzhou clan still does not dare to be too arrogant.

This is the difference between those who have suffered and those who have not.

Fortunately, they also have experience, and hurriedly disbanded the tenants, gave them arable land, funded the local government schools, and some also helped build Chi Road, in short, before Liu Bei really arrived, they could do as much as they could, Yangzhou officials should be happy, after all, this series of behaviors of the powerful clans is to increase their political achievements, but they are not happy, they have heard that after Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, no one from the assassin to the Taishou can escape!!

All of them were transported to Luoyang and directly put into the Tingwei prison, where they were being strictly interrogated.

Of course, there are also not afraid, Yangzhou Thorn History, called frustration, this person's experience, is also quite magical, filial piety as an official, and then served as a county commander in Youzhou, Du Wei and the like, later, the official assessment of science and technology was officially carried out, this person resigned from the original official body, participated in the assessment, and also won the double crown of agriculture and economics, so it was reused by Emperor Xiaokang, served as Nanpi Taishou in Jizhou, and then served as the history of the thorn, and then the history of the Qingzhou thorn, and then the history of the Yangzhou thorn.

This person is also a rare person from a low background, the ability to govern is also good, after he arrived in Yangzhou, he devoted himself to the matter of water conservancy, he believes that Yangzhou is actually very easy to develop, the land here is fertile, cultivated land is innumerable, unfortunately, there are fewer people, however, the people here represent that the people here are more prosperous than other regions, frustrated began to build water conservancy, make full use of the characteristics of Yangzhou, and increase more excellent cultivated land.

When Liu Bei arrived in Yangzhou, it was the opposite of Jingzhou, and no one came to receive him here.

All the way to Wu County, I couldn't see half of the officials who came to greet him, which made Liu Bei a little puzzled, but Guan Yu on the side was a little angry, he said: "It must be that the officials here learned about Jingzhou and were dissatisfied with Liu Gong, so they were so rude, Liu Gong is waiting, I will take people to the Assassin's Mansion!! Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him and said: "The previous arrest with Jingzhou was for state affairs, not a personal enmity. ”

"I came by order of the Son of Heaven, how can I arrest local officials at will because I didn't come to greet me??"

persuaded Guan Yu, Liu Bei remembered the scene he saw on the road, different from Jingzhou, Yangzhou is in full swing, everyone is busy, you can see the road being built on the road, as well as the canals, the huge Xiping overturned, the history of the thorn here, it looks different from Yang Biao, even if there is a situation where Si Li previously concealed the situation of Si Li's captain, but so many water conservancy measures can not be faked, this is at least more than half a year old.

Rushed to the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Bei did not delay, and directly informed his identity, sure enough, I heard that Liu Bei had arrived, the officials here were still a little afraid, many people secretly observed Liu Bei, did not dare to speak, the whole mansion was suddenly silent, however, the Assassin Shi was not here, an official got up, took Liu Bei, and went to find the Assassin History, the group walked for a long time, Liu Bei did not let Guan Yu go to various places to supervise, and took him with him.

Guan Yu is not like Manzhong, he knows how to fight, but for such a civil matter, Liu Bei still has to do it personally.

When they followed the officials and came to a country pavilion by the river, they saw Yangzhou Thorn Shi Fu Zhu, this person was following many officials, making a map, discussing the big strategy of diverting water to irrigate the land here, seeing that they were busy, Liu Bei also looked at the person in front of him, Fu Zhu was wearing short clothes, dark complexion, this is the trace left by staying in the wild all year round....

The official stepped forward to pray, and then he stood up, saw Liu Bei in the distance, and gave a few more orders, and then walked over.

Looking at the thorn history in front of him, who looked like an old peasant, Liu Bei took the lead and greeted him: "Meet the frustrated prince!" ”

Fu Zhu also returned the salute, found a clean place, and sat down, Liu Bei asked with a smile: "Gong wants to build a canal here?" He nodded, pointed to the distance, and said, "I am going to reclaim 3,000 hectares of cultivated land here... Recently, many Yangzhou people have gone to Jiaozhou, Yangzhou is originally a small number of people, and I can only go to learn from Liu Gong, the assassin of Jiaozhou..", he told his heart before and after.

Liu Bei nodded and listened carefully.

Only then did he look at Liu Bei and said, "Didn't Duke Liu come to arrest the local traitor?" Why did you come to me? But do you need my help? ”

"Don't bother with the frustrated duke, there is a frustrated duke here in Yangzhou, I think, I don't have to supervise..."Liu Bei praised with a smile, frustrated stood up, and said with some annoyance: "As an important minister of the temple, under the order of the Son of Heaven, how can you speak like this, do things, you must do it seriously...", he began to teach a lesson, Liu Bei was stunned, he could only nod his head, and said to be taught.

Liu Bei was still driven away by frustration, let him monitor the misdeeds, Liu Bei was still a little dazed, he didn't expect that there were such strange people in the world, people were afraid that they would find out something, this person was good, urging himself to investigate, what an old stubborn!!

Liu Bei was helpless, so he left here with Guan Yu, and walking on the road, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were silent.

"Immortal... You say, this.. Ahem, is the frustrated prince more like he's here to monitor than me? ”

"Fu Gong is a good official."

"Yes, although there are many traitors, fortunately, there are more of these great sages who cherish their family and country and care about the people of Li, and it is because of them that my Han can be so strong...."

"Where are we going to find out next?"

"Let's go to every county, if we don't find out anything, I don't think this frustrated prince will bypass us..."

At this time, Man Pet also rushed to Yizhou.
