Beihai Opera County, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Bei handed over the letter sent by Sima Zhi to Guan Yu and the two of them at a glance.

Even Gao Shun, who is usually moody, changed his face after reading the letter.

He and Sima Zhi have known each other for the longest time, and the two of them are extremely compatible, and they don't want an upright person like Sima Zhi to give his life like this.

Liu Bei, who looked at the two of them, sighed, but the corners of his mouth were full of mockery, "I heard that Sima Gong wrote a letter overnight before taking poison, and bluntly talked about the affairs of the DPRK and China. His Majesty came to his senses after reading the letter, but temporarily stopped collecting money from these incoming officials for the construction of the palace. ”

"I'm afraid that it won't be long before I relapse into my old ways, what kind of person the Son of Heaven is, my brother should know it in his heart."

Guan Yu's face turned red and he slammed his fist on the stone table in front of him.

Although Gao Shun on the side did not speak, Tie Qing's face could also see his thoughts.

"I'm reminded of an interesting story I've heard these days. I heard that there is a famous man Cui Lie in Jizhou, who bought an official to the position of the third duke. On the day of worshipping the official, the Son of Heaven was in Linxuan, and all the officials were there, and the Son of Heaven saw Cui Lie's ambition, and smiled that he had received less money, and His Majesty's nurse Cheng Shi relieved the siege, saying that Cui Lie won the official because he bribed her. ”

Liu Bei was initially smiling, but he just smiled and smiled with some coldness, the Son of Heaven did this kind of thing.

"The Cui family's famous family actually used this to steal the position of the three princes. At that time, I thought that these big families who passed down their families with poetry and books were different from the local heroes, but I didn't want to look at them all over the years. Guan Yu also sighed when he heard this.

He got up from the bottom, whether it was in Hedong or Zhuoxian, the suffering of the people at the bottom has never been uncommon. Over the years, with Liu Bei going south and north, he has seen many flies in the upper echelons of the court.

"When the way of the world is broken, is it only in the roots?"

Liu Bei smiled, "Fortunately, now in this land of Beihai, we can barely be the masters." Regardless of whether Sima Gong's actions are worth it or not, it is his own intention after all, and you and I are not good to discuss. ”

After saying this, he asked about the matter next to him, "What happened to the ship I wanted you to prepare?" The Beihai is near the sea, and it is a rare place to train a naval army in the Northland, if it is not used, it will not be a tyrannical thing. ”

Guan Yu frowned when he heard this, and said softly: "There are a lot of local sergeants recruited, and they are all people who are proficient in water, so as long as they train one or two, it shouldn't be difficult to fight on water." There are also a lot of boats, but unfortunately they are all small boats, and it is okay to sail in this inland sea, but if you go out of the inland sea, you are afraid that if you encounter some wind and waves, you will be destroyed and killed. ”

Most of the boats in the North Sea are light and thin fishing boats, and there are few big ships that can withstand overseas wind and waves, but this is also the norm in the Han Dynasty, even Sun Wu, who was famous for water warfare and shipbuilding, sailed in the sea, there was still a great risk of ship destruction and death.

Liu Bei rubbed his eyebrows, he also considered what Guan Yu said, although he knew some shipbuilding theories, but it was only limited to pointing out the country.

He smiled bitterly, "It seems that the most important thing now is to find a good craftsman." ”

……………………

At the beginning, Zhang Jiao raised the flag and the world responded, and all the states and places responded to Zhang Jiao, naturally not all of them were his followers of the Yellow Turban Sect.

In the vicinity of Montenegro, there are Boling Zhang Niujiao, Changshan Chu Yan, Huang Long, Zuo Xiao and others have raised troops. Led by Zhang Niujiao, they united in one place, attacked the city and attacked the county, and the defenders could not be controlled.

And Zhang Niujiao lost his body when he was besieging Tao County, and he knew that he would not live long, and when he was dying, he told everyone to serve Zhang Yan as the leader.

Chu Yan also changed her name to Zhang Yan.

Because its military horses are active in the Montenegrin area, it calls itself the Montenegrin Army.

The officers and soldiers called him a Black Mountain thief.

Zhang Yan is powerful, and Jizhou and Jizhou towns are mostly harassed by him, and there are many heroes in Jizhou and Jizhou, helping the officials and troops to crusade against the Montenegrin thieves.

In Jizhou, in the main tent of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan, who is now the master of the First Army, is wearing armor and frowning, pacing back and forth in the tent.

"Brother, I'm back."

A man opened the curtain and entered, and the person who came was tall, and there seemed to be thunder between his words.

This person is now one of the two major generals under Zhang Yan, known as the Yellow Dragon of the Black Mountain Bear Tiger.

Although Zhang Yan's martial arts and courage are not bad, he has always been known for his vigor, and he is not as good as the two of them in terms of bravery.

Seeing Huang Long entering, Zhang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How?" Did you kill that man? ”

Huang Long's face turned red, and he said in a low voice, "No." That person is really powerful, I joined forces with Colonel Zuo, and the ambush I prepared earlier, I didn't leave this person behind. Not only that, but Colonel Zuo was shot in the arm by the man and was wounded. If it weren't for the fact that we saw the opportunity quickly, I was afraid that ......"

Zhang Yan sighed when she heard this.

It turned out that although there were a lot of officers and soldiers here, they were not the border troops of the year, and they had not practiced for a long time, so they were naturally not the opponents of these outlaws.

At the beginning of the war, they won many battles, and their generals and colonels were even more demoralized. The officers and troops were defeated again and again, and as long as they fought a few more battles, they could not say that they would be able to completely lose their fighting spirit and retreat without a fight.

It's just that I don't want to change the coach of the Han army at this critical juncture.

And the new commander of the Han army is Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, the generals of Dongzhong Lang who did not make any achievements in the battle against Zhang Jiao.

In addition, there is a team of centaurs from out of nowhere to join them.

The leader of the man is extremely brave, with a halberd, under the seat is a maroon horse, this person has to take a few horses around him to rush into battle, rushing back and forth, even if they are several times the enemy can not be stopped, but also this person took the opportunity to kill several brave generals.

In today's battle, he originally wanted to design an ambush to kill this person, but he didn't want to be broken by this person again.

Now that there is this person in the Han army, his morale has improved a lot. In addition, Dong Zhuo is also a long-time battle-hardened person, and under the deployment of troops, Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army gradually became at a disadvantage.

"Brother, what should we do? Although the strength of one person is limited, but now we are inseparable from the Han army, if this person is not removed, I am afraid that the army's morale will be difficult to shake up. Huang Long said in a low voice.

Zhang Yan laughed, "It's okay, it seems that I'm going back to my hometown."

…………

Changshan County, Jizhou, Zhending County, there are several horses from the west.

Revisit the old place, the leader of the person turned over and dismounted, led the horse, saw the old scene along the way, it is inevitable that some people see things and think about people.

At this time, he came to a house and personally stepped forward to knock on the door.

The person who came to open the door was a middle-aged man, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of wind and frost.

Zhang Yan, who came from afar, put away the hood behind him and looked at the old man in front of him with a smile, "Brother, Zilong is here?" ”
