Chapter Eighty-Five: Joy Descends from the Sky, Hot Pie
Zhao Tian and Guan Yu were worried about Xinye's affairs, and they set off to return the day after the banquet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Biao really believed his word, not long after Zhao Tian and Guan Yu went back, they received a document from the guards of the four nearby cities, asking Guan Yu to send someone to collect it. Suddenly, there were four more cities, how could Guan Yu not be happy, and hurriedly went to Zhao Tian to discuss.
"The paperwork has just arrived, and the four cities around Xinye, including Bowang, are now ours, just waiting for the generals to be raised." Before Guan Yu entered the door, he laughed and laughed.
"Now counting Xinye, we already have five cities, and half of the cities in the entire Nanyang County are in our hands." Zhao Tian heard the joy in Guan Yu's heart, and only smiled slightly on his face, and then said slowly.
"Ziying, don't you look very happy." Guan Yu saw that Zhao Tianxiao was a little reluctant, and immediately wondered.
"Suddenly there are so many more cities, and I am naturally happy. It's just that pie fell from the sky, which made me a little worried. Zhao Tian shook his head and said with a frown.
"Worried? What to worry about? Guan Yu was stunned by Zhao Tian's words, such a good thing, he Guan Yu was worried that the banquet would not be good.
"Now once we take over these cities, it is equivalent to a showdown with the entire Jingzhou and belongs to Liu Biao's forces." Zhao Tian sighed and said.
"Are you afraid that the Cai family will target us?" Guan Yu was not too stupid, and in a blink of an eye, he figured out the reason, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Falling into the battle for Jingzhou's own family can be described as extremely dangerous. This pie doesn't kill us, it will also blanch us in a hand. Zhao Tian shook his head and said.
"Then we won't take the city?" Guan Yu asked.
"Not to mention that we have promised Liu Biao before, even if we don't agree, we can't refuse to accept the city. On the boundary of Jingzhou, tearing our faces with Liu Biao, we will definitely die without a place to be buried. ”
"So we still have to take it?" Guan Yu said with a frown.
"This Liu Biao can govern Jingzhou well, and he is really a scheming old fox." Zhao Tian sighed.
"Now that it's over, you don't have to think so much, let's take the city first." Guan Yu slapped his thigh and said.
"Well, of the four cities, two of them are to be taken by our people, and the other two are to be the lords of our people, and they are not directly raised." Zhao Tian thought about it for a moment and said slowly.
"Don't you want the two cities?" Now Guan Yu is worried that there are too many troops and the city is not enough, so he is obviously a little reluctant at this time.
"It's just that I won't mention it for the time being, and when Cai's attention is dispersed in the future, let's just find an excuse and withdraw the guards." The documents are all in our hands, are you afraid that you can't remove a guard? Zhao Tian said with a smile.
"yes." Guan Yu laughed.
"There is also the expansion of troops, which also needs to be paid special attention. Now that the Cai clan is in a sensitive stage, too many troops will definitely attract the hostility of the Cai clan. ”
"Okay, then let's not expand our troops for the time being." Guan Yu immediately said.
"The army still needs to be expanded, but it is necessary to pay attention to a little method." Zhao Tian smiled.
"What is Ziying's plan?" Guan Yu hurriedly asked.
"I've already learned about the four new cities. There are many abandoned fields near the castle. We arranged for the newly recruited soldiers to farm, and at the same time, we did not delay training. These people were nominally peasants, but in fact they were also soldiers. You can plant in your spare time, and you can fight in wartime. Not counting our army, we can increase the production of grain and grass. We can't always live on the food and grass given by Liu Biao, and we should start a self-sufficient life. Zhao Tian said slowly.
"Wonderful, wonderful." Guan Yu clapped his hands and praised.
"I've actually been thinking about military rations for a long time, but now I just have the conditions. If there is chaos today, many military forces are called armies, but they are actually bandits. Most of the military rations needed were taken from the peasants. Without stable grain and grass, not only will the morale of the army be unstable, but it will also damage the morale of the people. Zhao Tian continued.
"Thoughtful and far-sighted, he really has the demeanor of a wise man." Guan Yu looked at Zhao Tian and was very happy in his heart. Now that the situation in Jingzhou is so complicated, Zhao Tian solved most of the problem in just a few words. Guan Yu felt that he had indeed not misjudged the person, and laughed proudly.
Guan Yu gradually withdrew his laughter, and the crisp laughter of a teenager not far away was revealed. Guan Yu heard a little familiar, so he asked Zhao Tian.
"There's a kid playing in the backyard?"
"It's Guan Xing playing with me." Zhao Tian said immediately.
"Oh? It's Xing'er. ”
Now that the business has been talked about, Guan Yu was in a good mood and full of interest, so he got up and went to the backyard to have a look. Next to the pool in the backyard, there is a stone table. And Guan Xing was at the stone table at this time, playing chess with Dian Hui, the daughter of Dian Wei. Looking at Guan Xing's laughter, it was obvious that Guan Xing had a win.
"Xing'er, what are you playing, so happy." Guan Yu stepped forward and asked.
"Father, Xing'er is playing chess with Sister Dianhui." Guan Xing saw that his father was coming, and hurriedly said respectfully.
When Guan Yu heard this, he suddenly became a little interested again. Guan Yu usually likes to play chess, and often plays a few games with Sun Qian in his spare time. Guan Yu smiled, walked slowly to the stone table, and looked towards the stone table. Unexpectedly, the smiles on his face were all gone.
"What is this, a trick to coax a child." Guan Yu said with a frown.
"Father, this is a chess game from the northwest, and it is a chess adapted from the dispute between Chu and Han. Divide the red black and eat each other's. Guan Xing stepped forward to explain.
"Okay, you don't have to say it." Guan Yu directly interrupted Guan Xing's words.
"Today I will teach you to play Go, and in the future, you won't play this kind of coaxing children." Guan Yu said that, and waved his hand to the attendant next to him, signaling him to send Go up. Then he set up a chessboard on the stone table and began to teach Guan Xing and Dian Hui to play Go. Guan Xing seems to be very interested in the game of Go, and is fascinated by the mystery of this black and white son. On the other hand, Dian Hui was not very interested, and she didn't understand the rules after watching it for a long time.
Zhao Tian was dissatisfied with what Guan Yu said. Although chess is not as subtle as Go, it is also a game with a long history and infinite wonders. Guan Yu has never played chess, and just by looking at it, he directly denied it, which is obviously a bit inappropriate. Zhao Tian thought so, but he couldn't say it. In the face of his son Guan Xing, he must save some face for Guan Yu. Now that Guan Yu's arrogance is becoming more and more obvious, Zhao Tian began to secretly think of a way in his heart.
In the memory of his previous life, Guan Yu was defeated by the word 'proud'. I can't imagine that the world is very different today. But Guan Yu's arrogance is exactly the same as in the previous history.
