The order was issued quickly, and the first to receive the order was naturally Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

Guan Yu held the Spring and Autumn Festival in one hand and a bowl of water in the other, with a serious expression, as if he was pondering the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Second brother, a courier came from outside, and sent the lord's information and orders." A dignified and graceful woman, she walked in front of Guan Yu with a smile, stretched out her hand to take down the Spring and Autumn Period in Guan Ji's hand, sat directly on his lap, and said with a little disgust: "Look at you, it's night now, how many words are there in this book?" It's still holding it all day long, isn't it that people can't compare to this broken book of yours? If it weren't for the fact that someone had been woken up, would you have been going to sit here for another night? ”

"Uh, no, no, Lan'er......" Guan Yu blushed a little, and his expression was a little unnatural, but his ruddy face didn't show his blush, and he couldn't see that he was unnatural.

This is Guan Yu's study in Xiangyang City's residence. Lan'er is naturally Liang Lan, he protected her to "ride alone for thousands of miles", but in the end she became his woman. Not long ago, Liu Yi had ordered someone to send Liang Lan to Guan Yu's side, and also wrote another letter to Yi and Chen Zhen, asking them to handle family affairs for Guan Yu. Therefore, the current Liang Lan is already Guan Yu's official and justified wife.

Well, this, too, Liu Yi wanted Guan Yu to settle down, and deliberately asked Yi and Chen Zhen to implement the matter of Guan Yu and Liang Lan. If no one handles this family affair for Guan Yu, Liu Yi is sure that Guan Yu will save face with his death. Another Mu Na's character, whether he and Liang Lan can get together in the end is really unknown. Think about it. Liang Lan's heart is all tied to Guan Yu's body, but. Guan Yu is a nerd, but he doesn't know how to comfort other girls, isn't this going to make Liang Lan sad? Women are fickle animals, even if she won't change her mind about Guan Yu, but when the heat in their hearts is poured cold water, with women's reserve, I'm afraid they will really be negative. From love to hate. Therefore, Liu Yi deliberately wrote to Yi and Chen Zhen, asking them to do their best to implement Guan Yu's affairs, so that the two could live together in an upright manner.

Not to mention, Liu Yi's worries are not unfounded. Although Guan Yu said that he also loved Liang Lan very much, he didn't know how to express it, and he always asked Liang Lan to take the initiative. Now, they've all been together for a while. However, Guan Yu still seemed a little unnatural at the thought of sharing a bed with Liang Lan. Usually, I will avoid it intentionally or unintentionally. The best way to avoid it is to read at night. Sitting all night with spring and autumn.

I have to say that it is a very wise move for Liu Yi to let the two get married, precisely because they became relatives. became an official couple, so. Liang Lan quickly entered the role, and it was natural for her to take the initiative to seek comfort from Guan Yu. I don't feel embarrassed. Otherwise, Liang Lan is afraid that she really doesn't dare to take the initiative so much.

Liang Lan is also a smart woman, and she has already seen the difference between Guan Yu and ordinary men, and he will never take the initiative to ask for things between men and women, so he has to ask her to take the initiative. Well, sometimes, she is really a little annoyed with that Chunqiu, and she really doesn't understand why her man always takes the book as if he is a son's baby. She also secretly thought about it, and wanted to take Guan Yu's spring and autumn to burn it, but this was just her heart, and she didn't dare to really do that, for fear that Guan Yu would get angry and ignore her.

There is one point, although the two have become husband and wife, Guan Yu insists that Liang Lan call him his name or second brother, and she is not allowed to call her husband or anything, otherwise he will be angry. For this, Liang Lan didn't dare to rebel, and faintly understood that Guan Yu's heart might still be a little ashamed because she was originally Liu Bei's woman. Especially, now that Liu Bei has died, Guan Yu has married Liang Lan, I am afraid that he has a little feeling sorry for Liu Bei in his heart. Therefore, on the issue of the title between husband and wife, Liang Lan followed Guan Yu's meaning.

Now, Liang Lan has also noticed that she and Guan Yu have made such intimate movements, this nerd must be a little unnatural. However, seeing that the beauty is in her arms (Liang Lan thinks she is a beauty) Guan Yu is still serious, Liang Lan feels a little funny. She just likes Guan Yu's serious appearance with a bit of stupidity.

"Humph! What is not it? They are waiting for you in the room, so let's go and see what information and orders the lord has sent. Go ahead, don't let Mr. Yi wait. Liang Lan stretched out her finger and tapped Guan Yu's red face, then left Guan Yu's thigh, and said with a sneer.

"Mr. Yi is here?" Guan Yu stood up and bowed his hand politely to Liang Lan: "Madam, you go back to the room first, and wait until I see Mr. Yi to see what orders he has brought." ”

"Well, let's go, it's important to get down to business, by the way, Ping'er has come back from the third uncle, and there may be something to say." Liang Lan Road.

"I know, in the future, let them report to me directly, and you don't need to pass it on on your behalf, madam."

"Well, didn't they wake up and come to see it, and by the way, I'll pass you a message?" Liang Lan explained, she knew that she should not worry about men's affairs in the future.

Ping'er is naturally Guan Ping, Guan Yu's adopted son. Earlier, Guan Yu specially sent him to beat Zhang Fei's subordinates and train him. Although Guan Ping is only Guan Yu's adopted son, he regards it as his own in his heart, and he is not alienated from Guan Ping because he became a relative to Liang Lan and will have his own children in the future. Guan Yu not only passed on Guan Ping's martial arts, but also cultivated him as much as possible, hoping that he could become a talent as soon as possible and be able to stand alone.

Guan Yu waved his hand and asked Liang Lan to go back to the room first, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the fast room.

It was indeed night, and there was no moonlight tonight, but the sky was starry and very clear.

Guan Yu glanced at the sky, feeling particularly calm and satisfied in his heart, since he married Liu Bei and Zhang Fei and raised troops together, so many years have passed, it seems that only the recent time has been the most down-to-earth, this feeling of home, Guan Yu has not felt it for a long time. I don't know what orders from the imperial court are sent? Regarding the affairs of Yizhou, Hanzhong and the alien races outside Guan, Guan Yu naturally knew. But he didn't know how the imperial court would deal with the current situation, and he wanted Liu Yi to summon him to Luoyang. But he was also pondering during this time, and he didn't think of any way to solve this crisis in the New Han Dynasty for a while. knew that even if he went to Luoyang, he wouldn't be able to help Liu Yi anything. On the contrary, it would be better to stay in Jingzhou.

After taking a look at his thoughts, Guan Yu walked quickly to the front hall of the house.

Now in Xiangyang, the palace that Liu Biao built before is temporarily preserved and sealed. Only the first half of the palace was requisitioned and used as the official office of Jingzhou. Guan Yu refused to stay in the palace, so he found a house near the official office as a Guan mansion. Now naturally, it is in the Kanfu.

"Mr. Yi, the lord has an order?" Guan Yu saw the Yi nationality waiting in the hall, and first asked anxiously.

"That's right, the lord has come to order, ordering General Guan to sit in Jingzhou. In addition to guarding against Cao Cao, it is also necessary to speed up the integration of the Jingzhou army that had previously returned to the New Han Dynasty. Then, he ordered General Zhang Fei to immediately launch an attack in the direction of Yizhou, to achieve certain results, to attract the attention of Liu Zhang of Yizhou as much as possible, and it is best to let Liu Zhang launch a large army to confront our army attacking Sichuan. After Yi Ji finished speaking, he directly handed over the two letters to Guan Yu.

One is naturally an order, the other. It was Liu Yi who gave Guan Yu and some of the Wenchen generals in Jingzhou. Moreover, it is to explain the situation that the New Han Dynasty is now facing in written form to Guan Yu and others.

In fact. It was also Liu Yi who considered that after Guan Yu joined the New Han Dynasty, he might have a mind that was anxious to make meritorious contributions to the New Han Dynasty, and thought of Guan Yu's heart. may not want to sit in Jingzhou, but want to lead the army to fight abroad. So. Liu Yicai wanted to write another letter to Guan Yu to comfort Guan Yu. So that he can feel at ease for the New Han Dynasty and defend Jingzhou for himself.

Don't look at Jingzhou, it seems that there will be no war, but who dares to guarantee that Cao Cao will have any thoughts? In case Cao Cao saw that most of the troops of the New Han Dynasty were placed on the battlefield in the north, would he tear up the armistice agreement and send troops to Jingzhou? Therefore, it is necessary to leave a general to guard it. With Guan Yu's prestige in Jingzhou, he can stabilize the hearts of the people in Jingzhou.

"It seems that there are major moves. Mr. Yi, Jingzhou's 300,000-strong army has been reorganized, and now it is undergoing intense new-style training, and I believe that it will not take long for it to form combat effectiveness. However, it will take some time for all of them to be replaced with the sophisticated weapons of the Xinhan army, but Guan has already negotiated with the Dongting Lake Xinzhou side that before the winter, we must be able to give us the necessary armaments of 100,000 military horses, and when the time comes, we can equip 100,000 troops first. You can reply to the lord and see, can we send 100,000 military horses to Jingzhou to participate in the war first? Now that our New Han Dynasty is facing so many foreign invasions, Jingzhou, as a member of the New Han Dynasty, is a bit unreasonable if it does not send some troops and horses to fight and do its part for the New Han Dynasty. Well, I don't want to be able to go there myself, but it should be no problem to send 100,000 military horses. Guan Yu took the letter, glanced at it roughly, and said to Yi Yuan.

"General Guan, this question ......" Yi Yuan paused, pointed to the letter in Guan Yu's hand and said: "The lord has mentioned that the lord said that if necessary, we will transfer more troops in Jingzhou, but the meaning of the lord is already very clear, and it is estimated that he does not plan to transfer our Jingzhou army to the north to fight." ”

"Oh?" Guan Yu asked a little puzzled.

"General Guan, our Jingzhou Army is actually more suitable for water warfare, not very suitable for the battlefield in the north, these were discussed with Pang Degong and Mr. Chen Zhen and a group of officials at the beginning, for this, Yi believes that the lord has already considered it." Yi Yuan said calmly: "The northern battlefield, especially outside the Guan, is a prairie, which is suitable for cavalry combat, but our Jingzhou side lacks war horses and has fewer cavalry. Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that the north is even colder, and our military horses in Jingzhou may not be able to adapt to the cold climate outside the northern pass for a while. In particular, our Jingzhou Army is a newly formed New Han Army, and its combat effectiveness has not yet been truly formed, and even if it sends troops, it will not play a big role. Yi had long guessed that our Jingzhou army was very likely to be the main force attacking Yizhou and Hanzhong. So, please don't worry, General Guan, don't worry about not being able to participate in the war, the big battle is still waiting for us. ”

"Uh...... Hehe, Mr. Yi didn't remind, Guan almost forgot, well, Guan is also a northerner, in fact, he has long felt the difference between the weather in Jingzhou and the north, indeed, the north is much colder than our Jingzhou. We, the soldiers of Jingzhou, are afraid that it is really difficult to adapt to the cold climate in the north now. Guan Yu sneered suddenly.

Now Jingzhou. Most of the area was the Hubei region of later generations, including the area of Jiangling in Xiangyang, which is now Min. Weather in these areas. In fact, it is also the weather in the subtropics, and in terms of weather, the people in these areas are also southerners. The weather in Jingzhou is really similar to that in the south. It's not too cold all year round, even when it's snowing. It will never be as cold as minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius.

The army of Jingzhou, if it really arrives outside the pass, will be there. The cold weather will directly make their combat effectiveness plummet. When there is a battle, it is quite good that they can exert their usual combat effectiveness.

Guan Yu also considered this key issue, and his heart was even more relieved, understanding that Liu Yi did not seem to be in a hurry to mobilize his Jingzhou army. Well, even Wei Yan's Jingzhou army did not participate in the Northern Expedition.

"It's good that General Guan can understand the hard work of the lord. In fact, our current affairs in Jingzhou are not easy to handle. Yi Ji seemed to pour bitter water on Guan Yu and said: "Our governance in Jingzhou is just on the right track now. However, there are still many problems that have not yet been completely resolved. For example, until now, we have been in the Jingzhou area. Judging from the household registration that was completed not long ago, there are many people who are unwilling to leave the household registration of domestic servants and are unwilling to receive land for self-cultivation. General Guan, you say. What do these people think? Our article has made it very clear, do we want them to have their own land? Are you stupid? ”

"Oh? Have such a question? Guan Yuqi said.

"Alas. General Guan, you have only been in charge of military affairs recently, and you don't know that our work is difficult to do, not because there are such problems, but in many places, there are many such problems, especially the people in the southwest and northwest. By the way, especially some ethnic minorities in the mountains, they are not even willing to cooperate with our household registration work, and they will not let our officials go to their settlements at all. ”

"Huh? How so? Have you reported this to the court? "Guan Yu really didn't know that Jingzhou would encounter so many problems in the governance of the people.

"Not yet, originally, Yi and a group of officials planned to find a time to go to the court to see Taifu, report the situation to Taifu in person, and then seek a solution, but now, our New Han Dynasty war is imminent, these things, I'm afraid Taifu will not have time to ask." Therefore, it has not been reported yet. ”

"I haven't reported it yet...... Well, it's okay, let's deal with these things ourselves, according to the basic national law of our New Han Dynasty, deal with them as much as possible, if you need me Guan Yu to come forward to solve it, just come to me, and I will cooperate with your work as much as possible. Guan doesn't know much about civil affairs, but Guan can still tell the difference between right and wrong, right and wrong. ”

"If there is a need, I will definitely ask General Guan to come forward." Yi nodded unceremoniously: "When the time comes, it will be indispensable to trouble General Guan." ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, let's all work for the Taifu of the New Han Dynasty, Taifu trusts us and others, we naturally have to govern Jingzhou according to Taifu's requirements, isn't it? By the way, I don't know much about civil affairs, but you can go and ask the people of Dongting Lake for advice. Also, didn't the imperial court send many officials to assist us? I believe that no matter what it is, there is always something that can be solved. ”

"yes, how did I forget? Dongting Lake Cao Yin, Yi also saw him back then, it seems that Yi has to meet him. Yi Zhi was reminded by Guan Yu and said thoughtfully.

"Okay, that's it, without further ado, if you're okay, go to Dongting Lake, and by the way, send the lord's order to my third brother Zhang Fei. By the way, Ping'er, how is Yide now? Guan Yu looked at Guan Pingdao.

"Father, the third uncle is very good now, he has returned to Jiangling two days ago, and the child has just returned from Jiangling." Guan Ping stepped forward to greet Dao.

"Ping'er has worked hard, now, where is our New Han Army advancing?" Guan Yu asked.

"Father, the third uncle advanced to the west according to the plan, with the help of our Dongting Lake water army, from the Xiling and Yiling areas of our Tun army, advanced westward for nearly 100 miles, and Zigui County has been completely controlled in our hands, but if you advance further west, it will be very difficult, the terrain is too steep, and there is no way at all, so the third uncle returned to the army and asked the child to come back and report the situation to his father."

"Well, I see, you go down and rest first." Guan Yu retreated Guan Ping, and then said to Yi Yuan: "Mr. Yi, it's hard for you to go to Jiangling." ”

"General Guan rests early, and early tomorrow morning, Yi will go back to Jiangling." Yi knew that Guan Yu might have to think about some problems, so he didn't bother anymore, anyway, Liu Yi's letter of order had already been delivered to Guan Yu.

Xiangyang and Jiangling, one north and one south, are almost 400 miles apart.

From the Xiangjiang River in the north of Xiangyang, it goes upstream, enters the mountainous area, and then goes up the river, which is Hanzhong. Therefore, the Xiangjiang River is actually the Han River.

The west of Xiangyang is full of continuous mountains, and it is impossible to pass through these mountains directly, and if you want to enter Hanzhong, you can only swim along the Han River. The only way to enter Yizhou is to go upstream along the Yangtze River to the west of Gangneung, south of Xiangyang. Follow the Yangtze River into Xichuan.

The Xiling and Yiling mentioned by Guan Ping are actually between Xiangyang and Jiangling, but they are in the west and much closer to Jiangling.

The two main ones in Jingzhou can be used as the main cities of Xiangyang and Jiangling, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each guard one of them.

At the beginning, Zhang Fei was also responsible for the main recovery of the southern area of Xiangyang in Jingzhou, so the current Zhang Fei is actually the Taishou of Jiangling, and the current Guan Yu is almost at the same level.

At the beginning, it was naturally difficult for the New Han Army to kill the areas around Xiling and Yiling for a while, and at that time, those famous families in the Jingzhou area wanted to enter Sichuan and return to Liu Zhang, so they had already colluded with Liu Zhang's army. In this way, when the Yizhou army took advantage of the temporary failure of the New Han army to attack those areas, it quickly dispatched troops to completely control the road into Sichuan. Among them, the Xiling and Yiling areas, which were originally Liu Biao's power territory, were all occupied by Liu Zhang's army.

At that time, when Zhang Fei was chasing the famous Jingxiang family who fled west, he was blocked when he chased Xiling and Yiling.

You must know that Liu Zhang controlled the way out of Sichuan and captured Xiling and Yiyi, which is equivalent to allowing him to gain the initiative, as long as Liu Zhang dares and Liu Zhang is willing, then he can transfer a large army and kill from the west of Jingxiang. You must know that Xiling and Yiling are only about 200 miles away from Jiangling. Two hundred miles, especially if it can be killed directly from the waterway, it can be killed to Gangneung in one day.

Therefore, some time ago, Zhang Fei has been working hard to recapture Xiling and Yiling, and now, naturally, he has taken it back, and he has been killing Zigui County along the west of Yiling, and Zigui County has also been recaptured, which is naturally a good thing, and only in this way can Zhang Fei dare to return to Jiangling from the front line for a short rest.

Well, Xiling and Yiling, their terrain is equivalent to a river dam, the place where the river water is alluvial, an area of about 100 miles square. Of course, this is just a metaphorical description.

Actually, this is the area where Gezhouba is located. In addition, there is an incident that I believe everyone is well aware of. That was the Battle of Yiling, which took place here.

Of course, this has not happened yet, the battle of Yiling that took place in the history of the Three Kingdoms, the area where Liu Bei was burned by Sun Xun and the company camp is here.

Zhang Fei also has a home, he is a little red-eyed, Guan Yu also became a parent, and he also found a woman who saw the right eye, and became a parent in a dignified manner.

However, he can't accompany his wife at home, he has been busy with the westward expansion, and now, he is finally relieved, he doesn't have to worry that Liu Zhang's army will come to Jingzhou, so he rushed back from the front line, returned to Jiangling, and sent Guan Ping away, so as not to let the little rabbit Keiko affect his good deeds.

finally let Zhang Fei live a few comfortable days, and now he seems to understand the joy of children and understand how Liu Yi's kid is so romantic. He is not as old-fashioned and serious as Guan Yu, and after understanding this, he found that it was a little difficult for a woman to make him happy, and he wanted to take a concubine in his heart. (To be continued......)
