Chapter 639: Sprouts
"Stop, what are you doing?"
On the official road leading from Nanjun to Wuling, Guan Ping and his party were blocked by a sentry with a card.
"Blind your dog's eyes, we are the generals under Uncle Liu Huang, let us go quickly!"
Zhou Cang, who accompanied him as a guard, had a cold face, and scolded angrily unceremoniously, with a fierce and aggressive face, obviously quite dissatisfied with the behavior of the sentry soldiers.
Crash......
The sentry soldier Ding's face turned cold, he didn't care about Zhou Cang's angry shouting at all, and immediately used the knife and gun in his hand, and formed a small defensive formation on the official road under the officer's command.
Although there were only about 20 people, they were full of swords and guns, their morale was high, and their breath was connected as one, faintly forming a military atmosphere that was about to take shape above their heads.
An elite unique killing atmosphere is like a tide.
Silk......
Guan Ping and his entourage subconsciously made a defensive posture, and when they saw the posture of the officers and soldiers at the sentry post, as well as the faint premonition of threat, they couldn't help but gasp slightly with their faces.
It was not that he was frightened by the twenty or so Jiangxia soldiers stationed at the outpost, but that he was shocked by their fierce reaction and the demeanor of the elite soldiers displayed in a hurry.
With only 20 or so soldiers, they can faintly condense military spirit, and such elite soldiers can only be barely reached by Liu Bei's personal soldiers in Xiangyang and Nanjun.
Zhou Cang's face was very ugly, and he was stimulated by the aura of the sentry soldiers, and a terrifying iron-blooded murderous aura suddenly appeared on his body, and his right hand subconsciously held the handle of the knife with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, misunderstanding......"
Just when the atmosphere was tense and the tension was about to break out into conflict, Liu Feng, who had the most special identity in Guan Ping and his party, suddenly flashed and stood in front of the intermediate sentry post between the two parties.
His hands were spread out slightly, indicating that he had no malicious intent, and then he chuckled: "I'm waiting, but it's a general under the command of Xuande Gong, and a certain is Liu Feng, the righteous son of Xuande!" ”
"This is Guan Ping, the son of General Guan Yu!"
"This is General Guan Yu's personal guard commander Zhou Cang is also!"
"I waited here, and I also got the approval of Jiangxia Taishou Mansion!"
As he spoke, he took out his identity seal and the pass document issued by the Xiangyang County Guard.
Originally, I thought that the officers and soldiers of the Jiangxia Army stationed at the outpost were illiterate at all.
Who knows, although the other party did not receive the identity seal letter and the passage paper, he still checked it carefully, and it was obvious that he was literate.
After reading it, he didn't show any flattering look on his face, but took out a few identity tokens from the sentry booth, and personally wrote some information on them with a pen, and then handed them to Guan Ping and his party, and said: "With these, you can pass through Wuling County unimpeded!" ”
Liu Feng took it directly, and after careful inspection, he found that the token handed by the sentry was clearly written on it, and it was just a temporary pass token with a time limit.
The time limit is one month!
"How can there be a time limit?"
I was puzzled, and asked directly: "If I have to go to other counties in Jingnan to walk around, wouldn't I need another pass token?"
"When the time comes, you can exchange it for a new pass token at the local government!"
As to why this is so, the sentry officer has no obligation to explain at all.
"Let's go!"
Liu Feng didn't ask, waved his hand and said, "Don't ask for trouble!" ”
As he spoke, he hung the temporary pass token on his waist, and strode into the boundary of Wuling County, which had just changed hands and was still under military control.
"Major General, are we too polite!"
Waiting for the sentry post who was far away, Zhou Cang couldn't help but say: "A group of sentry guards dare to be so faceless!" ”
"People are also loyal!"
Liu Feng said disapprerovingly: "As guests, it's better to abide by each other's rules, so as not to cause unnecessary contradictions!" ”
Zhou Cang said dissatisfiedly: "That's not what I mean, since I know that we are coming, Jiang Xiajun will at least send one or two generals with status to receive it!" ”
Liu Feng didn't say a word, but he looked down on Zhou Cang in his heart......
This is Jiang Xiajun's territory, why do people give you such a big face?
Is he, the embarrassed son of Liu Bei, or the son of Guan Ping, Guan Yu, who has no outstanding records?
Jiang Xia is too protective of Liu Qi, and may be polite to Xuande Gong, but the generals under him may not necessarily be polite to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other generals.
There are some things that it is best to know in mind early to avoid being in a bad mood when you get them.
Wuling is already deserted, and in addition to being under strict military control recently, there are almost no living people encountered along the way.
It was only when we arrived at the nearest county seat that the situation improved slightly.
Obviously, the development of the four counties of Jingnan is lagging too far behind, and it is really much worse than Xiangyang and Nanjun in the essence of Jingzhou.
As far as the eye can see, there are dense mountain forests everywhere, as well as low and dilapidated houses, as well as yellow-skinned people and mountain people, there is really nothing to see.
Of course, the military management of the Jiangxia army is still quite effective......
At least, the three of them wandered around several county towns in Wuling County, and found that although the urban area was dilapidated, the order was still good, and there was no so-called Hanyi contradiction.
Even, there were business travelers under the banner of Jiangxia Army, bringing various commodities produced in Jiangxia.
In the more lively small wine shop in the city, the three of them inquired about some real information about Wuling.
For example, sitting here is Huo Jun, the newly promoted general of the Jiangxia Army.
The county guard of the temporary military administration has started the development plan of Wuling County.
Of course, Wuling County is not really quiet, and naturally there are people who make trouble, but they can't affect the order of the town dominated by Han people at all.
At the same time, they also listened to the various statements of the elite of the Jiangxia army.
Although they were a little unimpressed, the three of them still wrote down this information as much as possible, and recorded it on paper when they returned to the rest inn, as one of the important results of their trip.
"I don't want Jiang Xiajun to stabilize the situation in Wuling so quickly, it's really amazing!"
In private, Zhou Cang sighed repeatedly: "It seems that the people and horses arranged by the Jiangxia army in Wuling are not five thousand, right?" ”
"It can only be said that Huo Jun, who guards Wuling, has outstanding ability!"
Guan Ping put forward his own opinion: "Do we want to meet?" ”
"See, of course!"
Liu Feng said with a smile: "I heard that the strength of this Huo County Shou has also reached the first-class level, so we have to ask him for advice!" ”
In this era, the existence of first-class generals is rare in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Jiangxia army conquered the four counties of Jingnan, and two of them appeared in one go.
Liu Feng has a keen mind, and he has noticed the thoughts of his father-in-law Liu Bei as early as before he set off, so he naturally wants to make good friends, and maybe there will be opportunities to be ministers in the same palace in the future.
There are some things that Guan Ping, who has just joined the army, may not know, but Liu Feng, as an important young general in Liu Bei's army, knows it.
His stepfather has thoughts about Jiangxia County......
Looking at the map of Jingzhou, the geographical location of Jiangxia County is very important, and it is an important area in the Jingbei region.
To put it mildly, Jiangxia is the bridgehead for the defense of Eastern Wu, and it is also the forefront of deterring Eastern Wu.
Not to mention, Jiangxia County was originally separated from Nanjun.
If Jiang Xia guards Liu Qi too much and behaves as always, his father-in-law may not have any extra ideas, and even wishes that this situation would continue.
Jingzhou needs Jiangxia County, as a buffer with Jiangdong, and Jiangdong also needs such a buffer zone.
But Jiangxia County guarded Liu Qi too much, and his performance was unexpectedly good, and he even had the military strength to influence the situation in Jingzhou, which was not very good.
Especially the terrifying performance of Lao Huang Zhong's stabbing and cutting off the stream, no matter which prince has to be afraid of three points.
Although Liu Qi did not show the martial arts strategy of the hero, he was very good at internal affairs and had the ability to make achievements in military affairs, which was still feared.
At least Liu Feng knew that his father-in-law was indeed jealous of Liu Qi, the Jiangxia Taishou who was also the pastor of Jingzhou.
That is, Liu Qi's performance is very low-key, and his body and bones have always been not very good, which makes it difficult for the father-in-law to do more, otherwise he would have made a fuss in private.
For the sake of fame, the father-in-law didn't dare to take any excessive measures, but his subordinates didn't have such a good heart.
At present, it is not the meeting of the princes to compete for hegemony, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the forces that unify the world are basically the three families of Cao, Sun and Liu.
Therefore, once you place a bet, there is basically no possibility of changing jobs, otherwise it will be just the exclusion of the new owner, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Seeing that Jiangxia's development momentum is booming, whether it is the economy, people's livelihood or military strength, it has developed to a certain extent, which naturally arouses the covetousness of Xiangyang.
Now, the Jiangxia army has taken the four counties of Jingnan lightly within a month, and the undercurrent in Xiangyang is even more turbulent.
Liu Feng knew that the trip to the four counties of Jingnan at this time did not want to be as simple as it seemed.
Of course, he didn't have any idea of doing anything out of the ordinary, and he didn't want to be such a bird.
As for the thoughts of Zhou Cang and Guan Ping, he didn't bother to pay attention to it and didn't want to interfere.
Guan Ping is still young, and the city government has not cultivated to the home, so basically everything is expressed on his face.
It's Zhou Cang, who has been able to survive from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, not to mention cultivating into an old fox, and it is impossible to easily expose his mind.
But this guy's temper doesn't seem to be very good recently, and he gets angry at the Jiangxia soldiers stationed in Wuling at every turn, and he doesn't know what his intentions are.
In short, Liu Feng and his entourage have been wandering around Wuling for more than half a month, seeing many interesting situations, and also have a clearer understanding of the remoteness of Wuling.
This is still the Jingnan region closest to Jiangxia County and Nan County, and I really don't know what Chang, Sha County, Guiyang County and Lingling County have become.
The whereabouts of the three have always been under the surveillance of the Jiangxia Army stationed in the four counties of Jingnan.
For Zhou Cang's posture of roaring at every turn, Liu Pan and other high-level generals were quite dissatisfied, if they didn't know that they and Liu Beijun were allies, it would not be appropriate to have a conflict, I am afraid that they would have let the soldiers below do it a long time ago.
What about the three first-class generals?
In the face of the rolling military spirit, the combat power that can be exerted is very limited!
