Seeing Bian Ying like this, Xiao'er no longer persuaded her, she grew up in the Fu family since she was a child, and it is difficult to feel the life and death between relatives, maybe it is the same as her young master who went out alone this time, and she was left alone in the Fuquan Courtyard, a kind of pain of longing. However, it must be much more uncomfortable than she misses and worries about Fuquan.

Thinking that she would be able to see the young master soon, Yao'er couldn't help but squint and smile, but thinking about it, Xiao'er frowned slightly, thinking of the person behind the convoy, and said secretly: Is it really good for the princess to be like this?

At the end of the convoy, there was also a woman wearing a loose skirt, unlike ordinary women in the Han Dynasty, who would tighten the skirt to outline her plump figure, and at this moment the woman was looking at the fields around the carriage in a daze.

"Don't be upset, the princess is released, and she went to Bajun to give birth to a child, and no one will know about it." Beside her, an older maid saw the woman's reluctant appearance and comforted at the right time.

This servant girl has been with the princess all the time, how can I not know her thoughts. A widow princess has a big belly for no reason, and the father of the child in her belly can't be said, after all, the child's father is her nominal nephew, a relative who has turned several corners, although there is no blood relationship, but it has a great impact.

Not only is the Liu royal family shameless, but the woman's father, the collapsed Emperor Weizong Xiaohuan, will also be blamed, and he has no way to teach his daughter. If Fuquan is here, he will be surprised to see this woman with a very wide belly, because this woman is his lover Liu Jian, the eldest princess of Yingyin, and the child in Liu Jian's belly is self-evident.

Liu Jian smiled, shook his head and said: "Xi is like this, Yang'an only hopes to enter Shu this time, and does not make Yang'an and others suspicious." ”

"It should be okay, the princess has been waiting for the Beijing master for a long time, in the name of this trip, I want to come to the eldest princess of Yang'an just as a princess to go out for a walk, and I won't be suspicious."

"I hope so."

Liu Jian went to Beijing to Bashu this time, in order to conceal the fact that she went to Fuquan to prepare for childbirth, so as not to let others suspect it, in the name of going out for a relaxing trip. Therefore, what she was most worried about was that this time she heard that Fu An and others were going to select a group of female dependents to be sent to Ba County, where Fuquan was located, and she insisted on going with her, whether it would be because of Fu Wan and Liu Hua's suspicions, and the rest would be fine for her.

Outside the carriage, Bian Ying's melodious singing voice came slowly, giving people a sense of desolation and sadness, which made Liu Jian, who had something on his mind, even more sad.

"I didn't think that the daughter of the Bian family had such a singing voice, this "Sad Song" sang so sadly, I remember that when I married Jing Chu in the south, I also cried, but I also cried, poor this girl of the Bian family, a beautiful woman with a good end, was sent to Shu by her family...... The mind can't be spoken, and the wheels in the intestines turn ......" may be because he felt something, Liu Jian sighed Bian Ying's encounter, and also hummed the "Sad Song" with Bian Ying's singing.

As for the matter of Fu Wan giving a daughter to Fu Quan, although Liu Jian was jealous in his heart, it was difficult to stop it. How can she stop it? Her relationship with Fuquan is clearly not on the table, how can she stop it? And men are all womanizers, can there be a few who are really single-minded, she is already pregnant, can she let Fuquan be a bitter monk when she is pregnant?

Ba County, the throat of Shu, Yufu County in the territory is the only way to enter Shu, which can be described as the eastern gateway of Shu. Its place will be the water of Sichuan and Shu, control the upstream of Qutang, control the barbarians, and the terrain is dangerous. Ba County is like this, not to mention the county governing Jiangzhou County, which is also an important military town.

Jiangzhou is located in the southwest of Shudi, Jialing River, Yangtze River in Jiangzhou County meet, Jiangzhou is in the middle of the two rivers, surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, just controllable Yangtze River waterway. Although Jiangshan County is a vast place, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, dangers and obstacles emerge one after another, the traffic is very inconvenient, and the road is difficult to travel, but on the waterway, there is a Yangtze River running through its east and west. On the contrary, the transportation is the most convenient. Outsiders occupy Jiangzhou, and can take advantage of the convenient shipping conditions of the Yangtze River waterway to easily cross Badi and enter Shudi.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Ba people often competed with Qiang Chu according to this. Qin gained the land, and there were more and more ways to conquer the Chu State. At the end of the new dynasty, Gongsun Shu occupied the land of Shu, and divided one side, that is, he sent Jiangzhou in Langzhong, and the east was based on the pass, and it was difficult for outsiders to advance an inch. Even when Liu Bei entered Shu later, he also entered from Jiangzhou, and Zhang Fei entered Shu as well. As for the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Huan Wen Dingshu, and countless other military operations, all of them took advantage of the convenient shipping conditions of the Yangtze River in Badi and succeeded in one fell swoop.

Therefore, since ancient times, those who are anxious to try to Shu land, come from the fish, and march from the river to cut down Shu, first of all, they must occupy Jiangzhou, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and its geographical location is important and can be seen in general.

Moreover, Ba County has a humid climate and extremely rich products, making it an extremely important economic area in Shu. Its soil is planted with five grains, six livestock, mulberry, silkworm, hemp, silk, fish, salt, copper, iron, dan, lacquer, tea, honey, spirit turtle, giant rhinoceros, pheasant, white pheasant, yellow run, fresh powder, all pay tribute. The treasure of its fruits, the tree has lychee, the vine has pungent konjac, and the garden has fragrant artemisia, fragrant tea, orange to the guest, and sunflower. The difference between its drugs is Morinda and pepper. Those who are bamboos and trees have peach branches and longevity.

Fuquan is now worshiped by the imperial court as the Taishou of Ba County, and there is a secret letter entrusted by Liu Hong, which shows that he trusts him, the emperor has an order, and of course he cannot disobey as a courtier.

Fortunately, the soldiers of Ba County have not committed crimes for a long time because of the Qiang people, and the soldiers in the county are not as rare as other borders, and there are only more than 10,000 people in a county. This is also one of the reasons why the nine counties of Ba County quickly fell into the hands of the barbarians, in addition to the lax armament of the county soldiers and the barbarian rebellion that caught the government off guard, the lack of soldiers and horses in each county is also an important reason. Of course, not only Ba County, but also other counties in Yizhou, the nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses of Fuquan who conquered the barbarians were still cobbled together by the four county guards and captains.

With the brutal rebellion was quelled, the remaining county soldiers in the entire Ba County were only the five counties in the east of the river together with the county governing Jiangzhou, a total of more than 4,000 county soldiers, a lot of soldiers were killed in battle, and the treasury was tight, plus the predecessor Taishou was defending Jiangzhou, in order to improve morale, he was rewarded a lot, and after the rebellion, the soldiers' pensions, relief of the people, etc.

Originally, this year's autumn grain could be collected, plus the tax of about 500,000 people in the county, which could alleviate the need for conscription, but after the chaos, the county needs to restore people's livelihood, at least this year. Fu Quan can only play the imperial court, hoping that Liu Hong can allocate money and materials from the West Mansion, anyway, he secretly instructed himself to conscript, but he is not afraid that he will not pay.

In Jiangzhou County, in the county guard office, Fu Quan was tired of staying in the house to deal with government affairs, so he came out to take a breath and relax. From afar, I saw a young man challenging Guan Yu, and the two sides fought fiercely, which was eye-catching.

The man's name is Yan Yan, the word is Xibo, a native of Linjiang County, Ba County, and he was originally a county soldier and marquis of Jiangzhou. The first time he saw Yan Yan, Fuquan heard that his bravery was extraordinary, and this time Jiangzhou County was able to hold on to this point under the siege of more than 30,000 barbarian troops with only thousands of county soldiers, and it was also thanks to his merits.

If it weren't for Yan Yan leading his troops to kill and disperse the barbarians who rushed to the city, I am afraid that when Fuquan came to Yizhou, Jiangzhou County would have already fallen, and the barbarian army would have been able to drive straight into Guanghan and Shu County, and the consequences would be incalculable. So after knowing Yan Yan's name and his merits, Fu Quan aimed at him, and then Fu Quan told the new Yizhou assassin Cao Qian about his merits, and later his merits and Cao Qian's detailed investigation of other meritorious soldiers and heroes after entering Yizhou, were written by Cao Qian and sent to Luoyang.

Fu Quan had heard of Cao Qiangang's reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person before the new assassin Shi came, and he had met him a few times after he came, and felt that his personality was indeed extraordinary. Later, the subsequent reward of the imperial court also came, and Yan Yan moved to Sima of other departments because of his contribution to guarding Jiangzhou, and was under the command of Bajun Taishou Fuquan.

Since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second, Yan Yan has entered the command of Fuquan, heard that Guan Yu and Huang Zhong are famous, and they are extremely jealous, and they often fight with the two in the past few days, but they have been defeated again and again. But this is not to say that he is weak in force and wastes his reputation, but because Guan and Huang are too violent, he has the wrong opponent, but also because he knows Yan Yan's strength, Guan and Huang will not refuse to fight with him because they often lose, after all, for these martial idiots, there are too few people who can accompany them to have a good time, although Yan Yan often loses, but he is undoubtedly the kind of person who has a good fight.

I saw Yan Yan holding a long knife in his hand, and suddenly his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and in an instant, the knife came to the top of Guan Yu's head. Guan Yu's expression remained unchanged, he shouted, raised the long knife in his hand, and blocked the attack.

"Poof!" The two long knives slammed together.

Guan Yu took two steps back, skillfully unloaded the huge momentum, and faced Yan Yan, who was chasing after the victory, met without concession.

"Poof!"

A spark flew around, and both sides took a step back, and no one had the upper hand, but Guan Yu's speed was obviously slightly better than Yan Yan's, and he stepped forward, and the long knife turned into a cold light, slashing down obliquely from above, like lightning.

Yan Yan was shocked, and hurriedly waved his knife to block the attack, a person with rich combat experience knew that he must not retreat at this time, and if he retreated, he would be defeated, and on the battlefield, this was death. I saw Yan Yan slash out dozens of knives in one go, and the knives tried their best, but they did not break through the defensive net carefully woven by Guan Yu, and after a while, they were a little exhausted.

Seeing this, Guan Yu naturally would not let go of this rare opportunity, and immediately turned defense into offense, and with a loud shout, he swung out with a knife. With a heavy muffled sound, Yan Yan staggered backwards, his slightly trembling arm holding the bamboo knife, and his expression became extremely solemn.

It's just that this knife is obviously not the end, Guan Yu shouted and swung dozens of knives. In the face of the heavy waves of swords that were attacking like the waves crashing on the shore, Yan Yan tried his best to block, constantly retreating, and as time went by, he had retreated about a few feet away.

Suddenly, for some reason, I saw Yan Yan take three steps back, pull away a little distance, and the arms, waist, and legs were one, jumping up, swinging a knife with all his strength, and slashing towards Guan Yu's door.

And Guan Yu on the opposite side seemed to be in a hurry, his legs had already rushed off the ground, and he didn't seem to be sure to take Yan Yan's knife. But the Martial Saint is a Martial Saint after all, I saw that the body shook, the center of gravity sank, the right foot pointed to the tip of the ground and suddenly exerted force, and the body took advantage of the momentum to retreat sharply, narrowly avoiding the knife.

At this time, it had become a good opportunity for Yan Yan to fight back, only to see him fall to the ground, but he did not regain his momentum, and with his steps back, he took advantage of the reverse friction to go straight to Guan Yu, and the long knife in his hand looked at Guan Yu again.

"Huh!" I only heard Guan Yu's surprised voice, at this time his hand holding the knife was already unstoppable, but the martial arts master, bare-handed as extraordinary, I saw Guan Yu's hand that did not hold the knife, ghostly towards Yan Yan's knife grab, seeing that it was about to collide with his knife body to change Yan Yan's swing of the knife.

However, Yan Yan was not a three-year-old child, and Guan Yu's move was quite insulting to him, so he didn't care about whether he would hurt Guan Yu at all, and added enough strength to slash straight with his knife.

"Hiss......"

Guan Yu's robe was cut in half, Yan Yan saw that he didn't attack again, but put away his knife, and at the same time hurriedly asked, "How is Yun Chang?" ”

"No problem!" The victory of the two has been decided at this time, Yan Yan rarely won a wave, I saw that Guan Yu's face was not good, but he praised without losing his demeanor: "This trick makes it wonderful, the next time I compete, Yu will not let Xiber." ”

Then, Guan Yu turned his head and left, Fu Quan saw that his hand holding his robe was very tight, thinking that today's mistake made him resentful. couldn't help but laugh secretly, it was really not easy to see this proud martial saint walking away so gloomy!

It seems that his position in Ba County should not be boring.
