Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

I saw the soldier's sword slashing at me, and I couldn't get out of my way. Just as he was about to start, a fast horse galloped in the distance, and a young man was handsome.

The sword-wielding soldier was shouted loudly.

The leading soldier was first stunned by this sudden voice, but when he turned his head, he saw a young man, who immediately waved his sword and pointed at it, and scolded loudly: "Who are you, little boy?" ”

I saw the young man holding the sword at his waist and said: "I have heard that Sun Quan uses people as virtuous, and the generals under his command are also strict in governing the army, why are you waiting for an unarmed person here, don't you lose the face of your lord?" ”

"You little boy is so hateful that I will let you know who I am today!" The leading soldier was furious and stabbed with his sword. I saw that the young man was not panicked, and he raised his sword to block, but the blade of the sword was not unsheathed. The boy seemed to be lightly blocked, but in fact it was a strong sink, but pushed the soldier out of a few steps, and the surrounding companions saw this and waved their blades to attack the young man, and instantly more than a dozen blades gathered together to stab the young man, only to see him turn back to the horse sideways, and the horizontal sword leaned, but after all, there were more than ten people on the other side, and the strength was unreachable, and he flew off the horse, like a whirlwind and clouds, kicking several people in front of him to the ground, and then lifting the sword out of the sheath, a bright light, drawing the sword out, making people unable to open, all with their hands to block. The young man shouted, the sword light was everywhere, and several people in front of him were injured and fell to the ground.

The leading soldier refused to give up, blocked the young man's long sword, turned his left hand into a fist, and hit the situation, but the young man seemed to know it for a long time, turned around, and struck the sword scabbard in his left hand hard, hitting the back of the leading soldier hard, if it wasn't for his companions who supported him, I am afraid that he would really fall hard.

"You! You! You kid, let's count today's business in the future, go! The soldiers who took the lead hurriedly beckoned to their accomplices, picked up the scattered blades, and hurriedly ran in the direction of Gangneung City.

"Hello!" I didn't know any etiquette in ancient times, so I wanted to shake hands and say hello, but when I thought that there was no handshake in ancient times, I withdrew my right hand. "Thank you so much just now, otherwise, I would have almost lost my life here." But the boy didn't look at me, but at the road ahead. "Young man doesn't know his name? It's good to express gratitude in the future. ”

The young man flew on his horse, put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and glanced at me, "What's the point of worrying about a small name, you don't have to take today's matter to heart, but all chivalrous people will come forward to help." Excellencies, farewell. After saying that, the young man hurried towards Gangneung City.

I looked in the direction of Jiangling City and was filled with emotion,[Note 1] The Book of Shang Yu Gong divides China into nine states, namely Jizhou, Chongzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou. Although Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Chibi, he still owned Nanyang County of Jingzhou and annexed Xiangyang. Sun Quan directly took Jiangxia County and Nan County. Liu Bei harvested the four counties of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Since then, the seven counties of Jingzhou have become the epitome of the Three Kingdoms. However, the key to the subsequent Battle of Yiling was also inseparable from the land of Jingzhou.

It seems that all the problems come from Jingzhou, so this Jiangling City has to go.

But there are still a lot of puzzles to solve, and if you don't figure it out, you may really lose your life because of it.

I thought about walking in the direction of Jiangling City, and said that this Jiangling City, the first thing I thought of was the poem of Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty, "Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day." The apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying, and the light boat had already crossed the ten thousand mountains. I really don't know what this Jiangcheng City looks like.

Strange to say, it was still a pastoral landscape and splendid scenery before. But within a few steps, the tall castle tower appeared in front of my eyes, and the huge plaque on the castle tower read 'Gangneung Castle' in three big characters. It seems that this is Gangneung City, and I strode under the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city were passing the people one by one.

"I heard that Liu Xuande poured his troops south, and most of the people in the city left."

"Really? Isn't this Liu Bei always known for his benevolence and righteousness, and this time he came to Jingzhou, did he really come to attack Sun Quan? ”

"This can be fake, the city has been heavily guarded recently, it can be seen that this Liu Bei is really coming here."

The people who came and went were talking, and I stood in the procession into the city. Carefully observe the soldiers inspecting the castle tower.

"You! Where did it come from? A master compel in front of him asked sharply.

This is embarrassing, I'm from the future? Can he understand? But I'm not familiar with the terrain here, and although I know some place names, if it's not the boundary of Soochow, I'm sure I'm going to be suspicious? Just when I was due to. suddenly remembered Zhuge Liang's "Teacher's Table" that he learned when he was a student, and worked in Nanyang. Well, whatever.

"I'm from Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and I'm here to visit, not to study, yes, I've heard that Jiangling has a lot of talents, and this time I'm here to study and research." I don't even know if he'll understand that. What if I don't understand this? I don't have Zhao Yun's skills. Not to mention seven in and seven out of the enemy camp, even those pawns just now, I can't beat them. I get a headache when I think about it.

But the master chief in front of me seemed to understand what I was saying, and motioned for me to hurry into the city. Is this okay? I didn't think much of it, I quickly took a step and strode into Gangneung City.

[Note 1] Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has divided the Han region into nine regions, the so-called "Kyushu". According to the records of "Shangshu Yugong", the order of Kyushu is: Jizhou, Chongzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In the Zhou Dynasty, the two states of Xu and Liang were merged into Qingzhou and Yongzhou respectively, so there was no Xuzhou and Liangzhou.

[Note 2] Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
