The matter of one county for three counties did not work out in the end.

The reason is simple, Zhou Yu disagrees.

Although Lu Su's suggestion was approved by Sun Quan, Nanjun was under the control of Zhou Yu at this time, Zhou Yu was still the Taishou of Nanjun, and he was a famous general in the world, Jiangdong Zhushi, Sun Quan must also ask Zhou Yu what he thought.

Therefore, Liu Bei wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang for advice, and Sun Quan would also write to Zhou Yu for advice.

Zhou Yu's reply was naturally a refusal.

Nanjun is the place where he spent a lot of money and fought for more than half a year, and his ass is not hot yet, how can he be replaced so easily?!

Besides, it's not that he didn't give a good idea, as long as Sun Quan detains Liu Bei now and forces Guan Zhang and others to use it for him, then the entire Jingzhou belongs to Jiangdong, so why bother to share it with others.

Obviously, Zhou Yu only took into account the military level, Sun Quan really wants to do this, the impact of the political level is too great, not to mention that Lu Su opposes this, even Sun Quan can't make up his mind now.

At this time, Sun Quan still had the ambition to forge ahead in the world, so he still cherished his feathers at this time, but it was not the time when he was beaten by Zhang Liao and had to break the jar.

Therefore, Sun Quan adopted some of Zhou Yu's suggestions and withdrew the proposal of one for three, but similarly, he did not adopt Zhou Yu's suggestion to detain Liu Bei, and still insisted on requiring Liu Bei to withdraw from the Youjiang Estuary in accordance with the original agreement.

The matter is at a standstill for the time being.

For a while, he couldn't get any results in Jiangdong, and Liu Bei didn't want to stay in Chaisang for a long time, so he used the pretext that Jiangxia had an emergency military situation and planned to leave Chaisang temporarily.

Sun Quan also knew that it would be difficult for Liu Bei to spit out the Youjiangkou that he had occupied for a while, unless the two sides turned their faces now, so he didn't keep too much, but personally sent Liu Bei to the ferry.

Then, at this time, Liu Bei was a little unkind.

"Gongjin is a civil and military strategy, a hero of 10,000 people, and he has a large number of weapons, and I am afraid that he will soon be the ears of his ministers."

This is what Liu Bei said to Sun Quan before they separated, obviously uneasy and kind.

And Sun Quan's attitude towards this is a smile, and he doesn't care at all.

Sun Quan's early observation and employment of people were relatively accurate, and the onset of illness in his later years was a matter of his later years, at this time he still had the ambition to forge ahead in the world, and he never thought of defending himself according to the Yangtze River, so he would not be suspicious of a general like Zhou Yu because of Liu Bei's words.

In this way, the two families were temporarily separated, and the issue of the mouth of the oil river was only temporarily put on hold.

Lu Su and Zhou Yu were both a little dissatisfied with Sun Quan's decision, and wrote to Sun Quan to give advice.

Lu Su felt that the matter of Youjiangkou could not be a fait accompli, and if Sun Quan did not agree to assign Youjiangkou to Liu Bei, then Liu Bei should be strictly ordered to withdraw his troops.

And Zhou Yu felt that Sun Quan should not let Liu Bei leave, and directly detained Liu Bei, then Liu Beijun had no backbone, and it was easy to disperse in a hurry.

But Sun Quan had already made a decision, Lu Su was by his side, and Sun Quan didn't listen to his words, let alone Zhou Yu who was far away in Nanjun.

When Zhou Yu's letter was delivered to Chaisang, Liu Bei had already returned to Sanjiangkou and met Wenpin.

Liu Bei stayed in Echeng for five days, on the one hand, to return to Jiangxia and inspect the defense. On the other hand, it is to collect the heart of the clerk.

Liu Bei still appreciates Wen Ping very much, and he also knows his current situation.

Although Wen Ping said that he accepted the documents and official seals sent by Guan Yu, everyone knew that he was Liu Biao's person first, and then Liu Qi's person, and he was always outside Liu Bei's circle.

Therefore, Liu Bei deliberately stayed in Echeng for a few days to express his trust and support for Wenpin, which also moved Wenpin very much, and temporarily recognized Liu Bei, the lord.

Then Liu Bei took a boat, returned to Xiakou, and met Guan Yu and Zhang Xi.

Guan Yu first talked to Liu Bei about the old days, and then reported the garrison situation in Jiangxia in detail, so that Liu Bei fully understood before he began to talk about private matters.

One is Guan Ping's marriage problem.

Guan Yu finally decided to let Guan Ping marry Zhao Yun's eldest daughter and asked Liu Bei to be a matchmaker.

And Liu Bei looked at Zhang Xi with a surprised face, and Zhang Xi hurriedly explained with a white face that this matter was Kou Erha's mouth, and he didn't take a fancy to Zhao Yun's daughter.

Then Liu Bei muttered.

You didn't take a fancy to Zhao Yun's daughter, you must have taken a fancy to my daughter.

Otherwise, if you ask the family members in the army in Hanjinkou, you can't care about Guan Yu's daughter.

Guan Yu's daughter was only thirteen years old at the time, and she was a half-grown child.

Liu Bei can't talk about this for the time being, so he can only keep it in his heart.

However, since Zhang Xi didn't take a fancy to Zhao Yun's daughter, there was no possibility that Zhang Xi and Guan Yu would be at odds, so Liu Bei readily agreed to Guan Yu's request, and when he returned to Wuling, he personally wrote to Zhao Yun to act as this matchmaker.

And the second private matter, this is Mrs. Gan's business.

Mrs. Gan has been lying in bed, although she recuperates according to the method provided by Zhang Xi, it can only be said that she has stabilized her condition and still does not improve.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Zhang Xi escorted Zhang Ji to the arrival and diagnosed Mrs. Gan, so that he found the root cause of the disease and prescribed the right medicine, and now he is slowly improving.

Originally, Liu Bei wanted to take Mrs. Gan to Wuling County to recuperate, but now, according to Zhang Ji, it is best for Mrs. Gan not to move now, so as not to aggravate her condition.

Therefore, Liu Bei could only go back to his home to visit Mrs. Gan, accompany Mrs. Gan for one night, and then continue to stay in Jiangxia and continue to recuperate, while he continued to set off for Wuling County.

Before leaving, Liu Bei finally clarified Zhang Xi's responsibilities.

Originally, Zhuge Liang transferred Zhang Xi back to Jiangxia because he was worried that Guan Yu would not have the assistance of a strategist, so he only asked Zhang Xi to return to Jiangxia to counsel the military plane and help Guan Yu check and fill in the gaps, and did not make specific arrangements for Zhang Xi to take positions and jobs.

As for Guan Yu, he has just started to manage an entire county, and he is a little uncomfortable, where is the time to think about the appointment of Zhang Xi.

Besides, Zhang Xi also came back with great difficulty, so Guan Yu was not in a hurry to arrange Zhang Xi's work, and gave him a few days off to take a good rest, until Liu Bei came, Guan Yu asked Liu Bei to arrange any work for Zhang Xi.

And Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and directly took Chen Zhen and Yi to Wuling, where there was a shortage of civil officials to govern government affairs, and the position of Jiangxia Juncheng was vacated by Zhang Xi for him to hold.

In other words, the current Zhang Xi is already Guan Yu's deputy, responsible for the administrative work of the whole county.

This is what a civil official should do, but Zhang Xi is a little empty in his heart.

In the past, Zhang Xi always liked to emphasize that he was a civilian official and a strategist, but he never left the barracks for those things he did.

Whether it was helping Zhang Fei train soldiers, managing military discipline, or crossing the river with Zhuge Liang, chatting in Chibi, and finally leading the army to help Zhou Yu attack Nanjun. It's all the work that a military general should do.

Now that he is coldly asking Zhang Xi to do some work that a civil official should do, Zhang Xi is really a little uncomfortable.

But fortunately, Zhuge Liang once served as the governor of Jiangxia for a period of time, and he left a lot of rules and regulations, and Zhang Xi didn't have to bother to adjust it himself, just follow Xiao Gui Cao.

At the moment, the first thing for Zhang Xi to do is to arrange rewards and inspections at the end of the year.

It is almost the end of the year, and the work reports from all over the country should also be handed in, so what Zhang Xi has to do is to summarize the work reports from all over the country, check and fill in the gaps, and then go down to inspect to see if the actual situation is the same as the work report.

Then, Zhang Xi himself had to write a report on Jiangxia's work this year and send it to Liu Bei in Wuling, so that Liu Bei could decide on the rewards and punishments for Jiangxia officials.

Therefore, in late November, Zhang Xi took Deng Ai, Xiaoba, and thirty guards with him to begin his work as the commander of Jiangxia.

brought Deng Ai because Zhang Xi felt that with Deng Ai's current level, Zhang Xi could no longer let Deng Ai study.

Although Zhang Xi stayed in Nanjun and fought for most of the year, Deng Aike did not relax his learning progress.

After returning to Xiakou from Lukou, Deng Ai has been self-taught, and when he didn't understand, he went to consult Xu Shu.

Later, after Xu Shu was transferred to Youjiangkou, he left a few books for Deng Ai before leaving, and Deng Ai completely self-taught.

Zhang Xi found that Deng Ai's ability to self-study was really strong, and the books that Xu Shu left for Deng Ai, Deng Ai had all self-taught, Zhang Xi checked it, and found that Deng Ai could not only memorize it, but also understand the content.

It's just that it's a bit superficial and unrealistic.

Therefore, Zhang Xi feels that the current Deng Ai can no longer let him die studying, and should combine some practices to help him better understand the content of the book through practice.

It happened that Zhang Xi was going to inspect the counties, so Deng Ai followed, and got in touch with some grassroots practices in advance, which was also helpful to Deng Ai.

As for the little eight little Qibao who came over, he said that since she was a maid, she should be taken care of by Zhang Xi's side.

Zhang Xi also had no way to take Xiao Qibao, and Xiao Ba looked like he was going to cry at any time, Zhang Xi was also very distressed, so he brought it.

As for this at night, don't worry, Zhang Xi has recently taught Xiao Deng Ai to read until midnight every night, and every time Xiao Ba can't help but fall asleep first, so it's fine.

Xiao Ba is fine, but Xiao Deng Ai can't stand it.
