"Green Dragon Glaive Slash!"

With Guan Yu's domineering roar, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand slashed towards Wen Chou with an indomitable momentum. Wen Chou didn't say a word, crossed the spear in his hand and resisted hard, and then both of them took a few steps back with men and horses.

A few days ago, after Guan Yu returned to Xiangyang, after meeting Zhang Liao and Li Yan, he joined forces and led the army north, preparing to recover Nanxiang. As soon as the army arrived at Nanxiang City, Wen Chou had already taken the initiative to go out of the city to challenge.

"Red-faced thief, kill my righteous brother Yan Liang, I swear to kill you today!" Wen Chou jumped on the horse and scolded. Guan Yu was furious and was about to fight, but Zhang Liao had already preemptively said: "Prince, Liao was ordered to come here, if you don't fight a battle, how can you be happy?" The prince has defeated Yan Liang, so leave this ugly to me! ”

"That being the case, Wen Yuan still needs to be careful!" Guan Yu knew Zhang Liao's martial arts, and knew that even if he was compared to himself, he was only different. If he was hungry, he might not be able to beat him.

Zhang Liao was ordered to fight, to say that although Zhang Liao has not experienced any major battles in Yuzhou over the years, his martial arts cultivation has not fallen, and now he is fighting with Wen Chou, thinking that he can win the game. How do you know that as soon as you fight, Zhang Liao was taken aback, this ugly martial arts is really too weird. A spear is elusive, always striking from a direction you don't expect. Zhang Liao fought for more than 20 rounds, but he defended more and attacked less.

Zhang Liao himself is also a master of marksmanship in the world, and when he competed with Zhao Feng, Zhao Yun and others in his life, he also knew that guns mostly took a smart path. But this ugly man, when he started the gun, he was a deadly move, and he fought hard and resisted. It seems that any move is going to die with you. This kind of scoundrel-like style of play was inevitably full of flaws, but Wen Chou's martial arts were extremely high, and such a self-contained martial arts actually made Zhang Liao only have the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back.

After barely fighting for seven or eight more rounds, Zhang Liao knew that he would definitely not be able to win today, so he had to turn the horse's head around with a false shot. Guan Yu knew Zhang Liao's martial arts, and saw that he was defeated in more than 30 moves, and knew that Wen Chou's martial arts were only afraid that they were not under him. was about to go to battle, but saw that Li Yan couldn't hold back and was already rushing out.

Li Yan's knife skills are also good, and he has fought with Huang Zhong for dozens of rounds in history. But in the face of this ugly man who is ranked among the four court pillars in Hebei, Li Yan is still obviously inferior. After barely fighting for thirty rounds, Li Yan was left with only the kung fu to dodge. also knew that he was not an opponent, so he could only retreat quickly with a false sword.

"Guan Yu Pifu, I don't dare to go to war, send such miscellaneous fish to send him to death!" Wen Chou lost two people in a row, and he was even more powerful. Guan Yu was furious, originally he didn't want to take advantage of the danger of the wheel war, but now that Wen Chou is disrespectful, he can't care about this. At that moment, Guan Yu slapped the red rabbit horse and stepped forward to meet Wen Chou first.

The two fought for more than 50 rounds, and it was still a win-lose situation. But Guan Yu's crotch is a Chitu BMW, and although Wen Chou's mount is also a good BMW, it is inferior to Chitu. The two fought fiercely for a long time, plus Wen Chou's previous battle against Zhang Liaohe and Li Yan, adding up to more than 100 rounds, but Wen Chou's Ma Xian couldn't hold it anymore.

Wen Chou naturally knew that his war horse was dying, so he wanted to win in danger. After setting up this knife, Wen Chou turned his horse's head and ran, but secretly took a bow and arrow in his hand. Seeing that Guan Yu was chasing after him, he reflexively shot an arrow.

"The thief will let go of the cold arrow!" Zhang Liao's eyes were the sharpest, and when he saw Wen Chou's secret arrow hurting people, he hurriedly scolded. Guan Yu hurriedly dodged to dodge, but the arrow still hit his left shoulder. Guan Yu was furious, and instead of returning to the army, he kicked the red rabbit horse under his crotch and chased Wen Chou with all his might. Wen Chou's secret arrow was successful, he thought that Guan Yu was going to return to the army first, and he was about to turn his horse's head to chase after him, but he didn't want Guan Yu to kill him head-on, but this time he was greatly surprised, and he was in a hurry.

If you make a good move, any negligence is fatal. Especially for a master of this level, it is basically fatal to be stunned for a moment. In addition, Guan Yu's red rabbit horse came too fast, Wen Chou almost didn't even have time to react, and Guan Yu's green dragon knife had already been cut on his head.

"Scratched" a knife, Wen Chou's unbelievable head rolled down the horse, and at the moment before his consciousness was completely blurred, he seemed to have a sentence in his mouth: "What a fast knife!" ”

Wen Chou was beheaded, Nanxiang was originally the old land of Jingxiang, and this time it was naturally a smooth return. Guan Yu pacified the locality, incorporated and surrendered the army, and everything naturally fell into place. At this point, Xiahou Yuan and Cheng Yu's rash advance has completely failed.

But who is Guan Yu? It's good if he doesn't mess with you if he's fine, if you dare to mess with him if you're fine, wouldn't you come and find it yourself. This time, Xiahou Yuan took advantage of his army to attack Hanzhong from behind, although Guan Yu had already repelled Yan Liangwen Chou, but most of the anger in his heart was still not gone. After recovering Nanxiang and returning to Xiangyang, Guan Yu gathered the people of Jingzhou in Xiangyang and proposed a northern expedition. He decided to lead the Jingzhou men and horses from Wancheng to the north and attack Hangu Pass and Luoyang, so as to capture Sizhou first.

"Prince, if you want to go on a northern expedition, you still need an order from the lord!" Zhuge Jin first admonished. Everyone is a clear-eyed person, the current situation is clear, the north-south confrontation between Cao Ying and Liu Bei has been completely formed, as the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, even if you don't fight me, I will clean you up. The problem is that this kind of problem still needs the big guy Liu Bei to make a decision, Xiahou Yuan can raise troops to invade Jingxiang without authorization, if Guan Yu is on such a northern expedition, then the surname is no different from Xiahou Yuan.

"Moreover, the Northern Expedition is related to the belonging of the world, and the troops, financial and material resources used are not what my Jingxiang Prefecture can provide. If you want to go on a northern expedition, you still need to go hand in hand with all the states under the rule of the lord, so that Cao Ying can't take care of each other. If possible, it is best to contact Xiliang Ma Teng and Liaodong Yuan Tan to march together. In any case, it is up to the Lord to decide! Ma Liang also admonished. Everyone persuaded them repeatedly, and finally let Guan Yu temporarily hold back the burning battle spirit and ask Liu Bei to fight first.

A few days later, Guan Yu's letter of request for war appeared in front of Liu Bei of Shouchun, and along with it, there was also Zhao Feng's battle report. Liu Bei watched it for a long time, but still convened everyone to discuss it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have discussed that if you want to go on a northern expedition, you must first take Hanzhong. Now Bo Tao has led the army to capture Hanzhong, and he has written a letter requesting that people be transferred to garrison. The previous Xiahou Yuan soldiers committed Jing Xiang, the second brother repelled it, and after beheading the general Yan Liangwen Chou, he also wrote a letter asking for the Northern Expedition, I don't know what you think? ”

"My lord, it's autumn now, and winter is coming. Even if it is a northern expedition, it will have to wait until the spring of next year before it can enter the army, and it is really not appropriate to rush in at the moment. Moreover, Hanzhong has been initially decided, and people's hearts are unstable, so it needs to take time to wait for people's hearts to be stable! Zhuge Liang first objected.

"What Kong Ming said is very true, it is really not suitable to enter the army at the moment!" Pang Tong also agreed with Zhuge Liang's opinion this time. Then Lu Su and Chen Qun both thought that it was not suitable to enter the army at this time, and they advised one after another, and Liu Bei pressed his heart a little.

"Okay, the Northern Expedition is not appropriate at this time, and it is known alone. In addition, Bo Tao wrote a book, let me choose a good general to sit in Hanzhong, I don't know who you are? "The matter of the Northern Expedition has been decided, and another thing needs to be agreed on as soon as possible.

"The lord, Zhao Feng's child, has no virtue and is arrogant and ignorant. As a pastor of Jiaozhou, he doesn't care about political affairs, but he goes to Hanzhong to have many things, and asks the lord to punish him for his crimes, so as to set an example! A somewhat harsh voice sounded, and Lu Su glanced at Wang Cang, who was speaking, and his brows were also a little wrinkled.

Since the flooding of Jiangling and Zhao Feng formed a bond, Wang Cang seems to have rabies, and he has to bite Zhao Feng if he has nothing to do. To this day, it is said that Liu Bei is certainly a fart for him, and his colleagues don't like his virtue. It's just that this time the excuse he made was a little unclever, Zhao Feng's march into Hanzhong was an order from Liu Bei. Wang Cang was in a hurry to bite, but even Liu Bei bit it together.

Pang Tong is a native of Jingzhou, although he doesn't like Wang Cang's surname that has nothing to do, but he still has to help him round the field. At the moment, he admonished: "My lord, General Zhao is a general. Now that the Cao thief has not been eliminated, there are many places that rely on General Zhao in the battlefield battles. Jiaozhou is located in the rear, only civil affairs are needed, and it is really not appropriate to make General Zhao serve as the pastor of Jiaozhou. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded, and then asked, "In Shiyuan's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"At present, Shi Guangyuan is in charge of the affairs of Jiaozhou, and the lord can make him temporarily take care of Jiaozhou. In addition, Wu Ju, the Taishou of the East China Sea, once served as the Taishou of Cangwu, and the lord can send him to Jiaozhou to assist in governance! Pang Tong thought for a moment.

"That's great!" Liu Bei also felt that this proposal was good, but then frowned and said: "It's just that Bo Tao has made a contribution to Hanzhong this time, and I don't reward it, how can I remove him from his official position at this time?" ”

"General Zhao is a person who understands righteousness, and the lord can explain it to him. Moreover, Jiaozhou is located in the southern wilderness, and the lord can choose General Zhao to come to the Central Plains, wouldn't it be more stable than being in Jiaozhou. Pang Tong smiled.

"That's all there is to it!" Liu Bei sighed. At the beginning, he was just to fight with Sun Quan, so he couldn't wait to make Zhao Feng the pastor of Jiaozhou. Now that I think about it, it's a bit under-considered.

"Put this matter aside for the time being, everyone, who should take care of the affairs of Hanzhong and Xicheng counties at the moment?" Liu Bei thought about it and asked again.

"My lord, there is one person who can take on this position. This person's surname is Liao Mingli Gongyuan, a person from Wuling, a civil and military all-rounder, and he can do this! Zhuge Liang said when he heard this. I didn't want Liu Bei to hear this, but I frowned, remembering a conversation between myself and Zhao Feng in the middle of a banquet when I just took Jingzhou two years ago.

"Bo Tao, now Jing Xiang has been decided. Jing Xiang is a well-educated person, I don't know what Bo Tao's opinion is? Liu Bei asked after drinking a glass of wine. He asked Zhao Feng if it was not without purpose, Liu Bei knew that Zhao Feng's understanding of people was still above himself. Lu Su and Pang Tong were all dug up by him from the grassroots, so I want to ask his opinion now.

"My lord, I dare not speak falsely about the rest of the people. But there are a few people in Jingzhou who are despicable in virtue and really can't be reused. Zhao Feng didn't shirk it, and directly said a few names. For example, what Fu Shiren, Liao Li.

Liu Bei knew that Zhao Feng had always been kind to others, and he would never take the initiative to grudge with others, not to mention that he had no grudges with Liao Li and Fu Shiren, so there must be a reason for despising him so much. Later, after observation, I found that Fu Shiren was not a thing, although Liao Li was talented, he was also cunning and liked to shirk responsibility. In fact, if Liu Bei knew how Liao Li slandered him after his death in history, he would have sent him to Tuntian immediately.

Now Zhuge Liang recommends Liao Li, and Liu Bei also knows the mystery of this. Although Jing Xiangshi has been very useful since he defected to Liu Bei, most of them served as local officials such as Liu Qi, Cui Zhouping, and other generals. But there are only people who hold the military power and sit on one side like Guan Yu, Wei Yan, and Zhao Feng. As a person from Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang naturally wants to fight for more benefits for his faction.

Liu Bei is different from Cao Ying, and there are no clan children like the Xiahou family and the Cao family. Except for his two brothers, the weight of other people in his heart is not too prominent. If you want to say that there is, it is Zhao Feng and Lu Su, who are Wen Yiwu, because they came relatively early, so they speak more weightily.

Getting back to the point, if Zhuge Liang recommends someone else now, Liu Bei will still consider it. But if it was replaced by this Liao Li, Liu Bei would not be cold. was groaning, Lu Su had already seen that Liu Bei didn't want to appoint Liao Li, and he also admonished at the moment: "My lord, the land of Hanzhong is very important, and when the Northern Expedition is said to be in the future, if you want to enter Guanzhong, you must take this road." Although Liao Li is a talent, after all, he is still inexperienced, so I am afraid that he may not be able to take on this important task. ”

"What is Zijing's good plan?" Liu Bei asked urgently. For this strategist who made his fortune, Liu Bei subconsciously still values it the most, after all, Lu Su's overall view is outstanding.

"Lord, there are nearly one million people in Hanzhong and Xicheng, and although Shangyong, Xicheng and Fangling belong to Jingzhou, they are blocked by high mountains in the land of Xiangfan, but they are adjacent to Hanzhong. Why didn't the lord combine these five places into one, and send a general to raise troops in this tuntian and comfort the place. After the Northern Expedition, the army will enter the army from now on! Lu Su said slowly.

"Zijing's words are true, in your opinion, who is up to the task?" Liu Bei nodded, after all, relying on the strength of Hanzhong alone, if you want to enter Guanzhong, it is not enough.

"This person is in Hanzhong right now, why does the lord need to ask for someone else?" Lu Su said with a smile.

"Bo Tao?" Liu Bei was also stunned when he heard this, and then nodded and said: "Bo Tao is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is the best choice." After a little thought, Liu Bei immediately ordered that the former general Zuo and Jiaozhou Mu Zhaofeng should be reappointed as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and the governor of the affairs of Hanzhong, Xicheng, Shangyong, Fangling, and Weixing. In addition, Liu Bei also wrote a handwritten letter in detail and ordered someone to send it to Zhao Feng along with this appointment.

When the order arrived at Nanzheng, Zhao Feng was dumbfounded: Lao Liu, you are not kind, help you fight Hanzhong, and as a result, you will be put in the whole person. As for the improper pasture in Jiaozhou, Zhao Feng actually didn't care too much, after all, he had never been to Jiaozhou. However, Liu Bei was afraid that he would have a bad heart, so he wrote a letter to explain it.

Now it is good that the affairs of the five counties are all in their own hands. Who else can help you do things right now? Of course, I have done a lot of post-war governance over the years. This is true in Yuzhou, Jiangdong, and Jingnan. Now when I come to Hanzhong again, I am not afraid of inexperience.

sighed, and could only sigh that he was unladylike. Playing up his spirits, Zhao Feng looked at himself that there were only a few people here, and there were still some shortcomings. The three counties of Shangyong are not enough, and the officials in Hanzhong and Xicheng are really understaffed. At that moment, Zhao Feng was also thinking carefully, what should he ask Lao Liu for those people to help him. Those people in Jingnan naturally want to come, but who else do they want?

Suddenly, Zhao Feng's mind flashed, and he muttered: "Hehe, it's rare for me to value you so much, let you come to this ravine to help me now!" ”
