However, it is said that after the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei led most of the army to move troops to the mouth of the Youjiang River. Ordered Sun Qian to bring gifts to congratulate Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu received the gift and came to thank him in person, because the Sun and Liu families were eyeing the fat of Jingzhou, and after testing each other with words, they ended up with an agreement that Zhou Yu would take it first, and if he couldn't take it, Liu Bei would take it.

The Eastern Wu army and Cao Cao fought fiercely for more than a month, and the southern county could not go down, and suddenly Zhou Yu was seriously injured by the arrow, and then Cao Jun was insulted, and blood spurted in his mouth, and he fell under the horse, and he had died.

Liu Bei's army was stunned, but Kong Ming Chengzhu was in his chest, and decided that Zhou Yu faked his death, while transferring military horses, taking advantage of Cao Ren's military horses to rob Wuzhai, he actually captured Nanjun, Xiangyang, and Jingzhou counties, but Zhou Yu defeated Cao's army in vain and ended up with the tragedy of not getting a city.

Then Lu Su came to negotiate, and the two sides agreed to determine the ownership of Jingzhou based on whether Liu Qi was alive or not. Yi recommended Ma Liang to Liu Bei, Ma Liang entered the south to conquer the four counties, Liu Bei then used Ma Liang as a job, and the other four brothers of the Ma family also had other appointments.

If you want to say that the youngest of the five brothers of the Ma family, it is Ma Yan. He was only in his twenties when he met Liu Bei with his brothers, but his eyes were full of brilliance and sharpness, and he was not at all as honest as the rest of his brothers.

Almost immediately, I saw Liu Bei's displeasure when he looked at Ma Yan, and his expression showed a trace of unhappiness for a moment. I don't know if this unhappiness is because Ma Jian is a little too public, but for Ma Liang's sake, Liu Bei didn't say much.

Soon Liu Bei played Liu Qi as the assassin of Jingzhou, and ordered Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, Mi Zhu and Liu Feng to guard Jiangling, with Zhang Fei as the vanguard and Zhao Yun as the queen, and led 15,000 troops to attack Lingling.

The process of taking Lingling does not need to be detailed, and it is said that Zhao Yun killed Xing Daorong, Liu Xian was captured alive by Zhang Fei, and Liu Xian was put back to Lingling to persuade his father to surrender, Kong Ming taught Liu Du to remain the county guard. His son Liu Xian went to Jingzhou to run errands with the army, and the residents of Lingling County were all happy.

When Zhao Yun led another 3,000 military horses to take Guiyang, although there was also an incident during which Zhao Yun rejected the Fan clan and caused the two sides to fight again, the matter of taking Wuling was put on the agenda.

Because it was about my own body, I was very concerned when discussing Zhang Fei to take Wuling County. I deliberately looked at Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was also because of the previous bet with me and lost the matter was seen by me, I couldn't stand it anymore and shouted directly at me: "You child, don't force me to use your eyes to force me to be old Zhang, when I take Wuling County, I will beg my brother and you to beg it, this feeling of betting and losing for one year and two years, I can't stand it anymore!" ”

Most of the people present witnessed with their own eyes that after Zhang Fei lost the bet, Liu Bei promised me to be the Taishou of Wuling County. At this time, when I heard Zhang Fei mention it, I thought of the past, and everyone laughed, and there was a look in my eyes that I didn't expect to have today.

However, after laughing, Kong Ming said: "Song'er's little scholar, fifteen years old, how can he be a county guard?" The bet he made with the three generals that day was just a child's joke! With that, he turned to look at me.

I knew that if I got off the donkey, although I could win the favor of Liu Bei and Kong Ming, the opportunities I had worked so hard to seize would be in vain.

Thinking of this, I stiffened my head and didn't look at Kong Ming, just looked at Liu Bei, and plucked up the courage to speak: "Song'er only knows that you have no jokes, the lord has always had an outstanding reputation, and benevolence is spread all over the world. If it is just because Song'er is young, he can't say it, he can't believe it, and everyone hears it, how can he return to his heart? ”

After I finished speaking, I bowed deeply at Liu Bei, not daring to look up at him again.

"Song'er!" Kong Ming sneered at me, obviously moving his liver fire. But I didn't care about that, and continued what I had just said in silence.

I don't know if Liu Bei regretted the original joke, but he is a masterpiece after all, and he has already calculated the gains and losses in this in an instant, he actually got down and helped me up, and said to me with a smile: "Song'er rest assured, you have no jokes, what I Liu Bei said, I never regret it!" After speaking, he turned to Zhang Fei and said, "The third brother rose because of you at this time, and it landed on you. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I will succeed immediately!" Zhang Fei hugged his fists at Liu Bei, and then led his troops out to fight.

After I went back, Kong Ming naturally reprimanded me again, saying that I was so ambitious at a young age, and I didn't see it at all before. I saw that the official position of the county guard was about to be obtained, so I just made promises, as if I should not respond, and waited for Zhang Fei's good news.

Soon Gong Zhi killed Jin Xuan and surrendered out of the city, Zhang Fei ordered Gong Zhi to take the seal ribbon to Guiyang to meet Liu Bei, Liu Bei handed over the seal ribbon to me on the spot, and appointed me as the Taishou of Wuling County! Everyone was in an uproar, especially Gong Zhi, who looked at me as if he had lost his soul.

Liu Bei personally went to Wuling Anmin, summoned the officials of Wuling County, and explained in detail the bet I made with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and once again announced my appointment as the Taishou of Wuling. The local officials in the hall all talked about it, but Liu Bei's words at the end of the day directly explained my true status in this county. He said to the officials below: "Zhuge is too young to guard, and the county affairs are still unknown, so leave him here to be responsible for supervision and supervision, as for political affairs, the princes can discuss with Gong Zhi to make the county affairs abandoned!" ”

So the local officials in the county were all smiling, I know that Liu Bei said this, my Taishou is almost like a false position, just like Emperor Han Xian in Xu Du, although he sits on the Golden Palace every day, but the ministers only report anything to Prime Minister Cao Cheng.

However, I couldn't defend on the spot, so I could only endure it secretly, thinking that I might as well take this Taishou first, and then it would not be too late to think of a way to do the rest of the matter.

On the contrary, although Kong Ming has not had a good face on me for the past few days because I have to do things that are too guarded, he still has a deep affection for me when he leaves, and constantly tells me that if I can't deal with something, I can send a message to him. I think of the days and nights with my husband these days, and once I face separation, I can't help but cry.

Wuling County was placed by Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, and the thirteen counties were led, and the county was now in Linyuan. The predecessor of Wuling County was Qinqianzhong County during the Warring States Period, and there was Yuanshui in the county, because Linyuan was in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, and it could be traced up to Shu, and the downstream could enter Dongting, Yuan, Liershui, Xiangxi, and northern regions were under control.

At the beginning of my tenure, I was very respectful to Gong Zhi, Gong Zhi because I am Zhuge Liang's person, and Liu Bei has the intention of making him have the power to make the county affairs, so he is also very polite to me, when I asked him about the economic affairs of the county, he also told me what he knew without reservation.

I learned from Gong Zhi that Wuling County is rich in gold, bamboo and wood, camellia, bud grass, and lacquer in Xiangxi, especially the rich copper, tin, and lead minerals in Chenxi and Mayang counties, all of which are important sources of income for the county government.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the efficiency of gold mining was still relatively low, and although I came from modern times, I didn't know anything about how to improve the gold mining process. To be honest, even if Liu Bei really asked me to be a real power keeper now, I didn't understand a lot of county affairs, so I would be happy to be a shopkeeper first.

But the Taishou Mansion is indeed let me move in, it is really called a style, a good, the original Taishou Mansion family members were taken back to Nanjun as slaves, as for the original servants, Gong Zhi asked me what I meant, I see that those slaves are pitiful, but they can't bear to bomb them out of the house, so they are all retained, but for personal safety, Gong Zhi called ten strong soldiers with halberds as guards.

To be honest, in order to save Guan Yu, what I care most about when I become the Taishou of Wuling is how many troops I can control, because only when there are enough troops for me to dispatch, can I use them to play a decisive role at a critical moment. Of course, all this can only be considered in the long run, when it was 209 AD, the fourteenth year of Jian'an, and my "age" in the Three Kingdoms was only fifteen years old.
