I'm Liu Bei.

I don't know how long it took, but the angina finally got a lot better. I can finally breathe smoothly. However, every time she breathed in the room, she left behind either the smell of the house or the pain that trembled her heart.

Insisting on standing up, he staggered out of the house. Stumbled and chased after him. The guard at the gate of the courtyard said that she left with her younger brother crying, so she went to the south gate gate to inquire, but there was no news. There is no North City, and there is no East City. finally learned from the doorman of Xicheng that she took her younger brother all the way to choke.

I was furious, shook my hand and slapped the doorman. "Don't you know that when the gates are closed, they can't be opened again!"

The doorman knelt on the ground in fright and appealed: "Don't dare to be humble." This is an order from Lord Guan. ”

Because the second brother was working beside me, and he took over the city defense, his subordinates all called Guan Yu Guan Daren.

"Are you talking about Guan Yu?" I asked incredulously.

"Yes. It was the city gate that Lord Guan ordered to open, otherwise he would not dare to open the city gate even if he had ten heads. ”

How could the second brother be so coincidentally patrolling in Xicheng?

"Did Guan Yu meet them while patrolling the city, and then ordered you to open the door?"

"Lord Hui, Lord Guan is here with people who have left the city."

And so it was. My second brother has been monitoring my movements since he returned to the mansion. He is 22 years old, and with many years of exile, he can guess my thoughts and thoughts. Even though he kept a straight face all day long, I didn't believe he didn't have a crush on a girl. As long as you have the experience of having a crush, and with a little thought, you will definitely be able to guess that I am going to find Miss Gan. In his heart, career comes first.

Based on Guan Yu's performance in the old man's mansion and personally ordering Gan Zhangyun's sister and brother to open the city gate, I am very sure that he agrees with my career-oriented.

After thinking about it, I found that the second brother did the right thing. I shouldn't be obsessed with love. A manly man should take the benefit of the people as his primary responsibility.

I can't help but sigh: Love, let's talk about it if we have a fate. If not, we will have to see you again in the next life!

"Mahakalpa, twist flowers to attain the Tao. One thought becomes a demon, and one thought becomes a Buddha. "I guess that's the reason.

"You're doing a good job, come to this military marquis tomorrow morning." In my heart, I blamed the doorman for being right and wrong, and I blamed him for some self-blame, and I would give him a promotion tomorrow as compensation. After saying that, he turned around and left. Behind him, the doorman's excited voice said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Back in the house, I fell asleep. Although I couldn't sleep and had a slight heartache from time to time, I tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and finally fell asleep. In the dream, she still said it was impossible.

And I, still dreaming: "The cool breeze is exciting, the autumn moon is boundless, and my emotions are like living like a year." Although I'm not a jade tree in the wind, I am chic and dignified......"

******************

"Ah......h

Stretched. I saw that it was already three poles in the sun outside the window, and no one came to wake me up. After getting off the bed, I put on my coat, opened the door, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Li Wu and other people were talking about something under the stairs, and the voice was not loud, as if they were afraid of waking me up. Behind them stood the doorman from last night, alone thinking about something.

When they saw me standing in the doorway, they all looked up. Through their eyes, I knew they knew that the Gan siblings were gone. And the reason why they whispered was to let me get a good night's sleep. I bet they guessed I didn't sleep well last night.

I really didn't sleep well.

"My lord." Wang Dafu brought over the washing utensils that had been placed on the ground earlier.

"Come in." Turned around and went back to the house. Then all the people followed, but the doorkeeper did not.

"Any news on the rebels?" I asked, picking up the white linen.

"Brother Liu, the rebels have reached forty miles outside the city last night. An hour ago, the scout came to report, and it was only thirty miles. Li Wu replied.

"So fast!" Twisting the sackcloth, he asked, "How many rebels are there?" ”

"The news from the scouts is still from three hours ago. Three hours before dawn, so the exact number is unknown. It is estimated at no less than six thousand. ”

"What time is it?" I went on to wash my face.

"It's just noon (11:00 Beijing time)."

So late? Thinking about what I have to do today, it seems that I will have to be busy in the afternoon. After washing his face, he thought about how to arrange the city defense to be perfect, so that he could hold it for three days, and rinsed his mouth again. Yesterday is the first day, today is the second day, and tomorrow is the third day. After defending tomorrow, I can abandon the city and retreat the day after tomorrow.

After rinsing my mouth, I asked, "Second brother, have the city walls been repaired?" ”

"It's all done. It's just that the lime is not dry, and it needs to wait until the evening to dry before it can be considered completely repaired. Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then replied. It may have been the events of last night that distracted him.

"Good job, hard work." I patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and smiled, and Guan Yu also had a relaxed expression.

Turning around, he asked Li Wu: "Have all the soldiers defending the city been arranged?" How many people are there? ”

"There were three hundred and seventy-six soldiers defending the city. There are currently more than 200 strong men who have volunteered to defend the city, and there are some strong men among the refugees, who are unable to exert their physical strength because they live a life where they have eaten the last meal but not the next. Although he has been placed in the county government since yesterday and has been given enough food, his body has not fully recovered. There are about four hundred such strong men. At present, only some logistics work is done, and no arrangements are made to defend the city. That's all there is to it. Li Wu said clearly, without thinking for a moment, it can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort.

"How many people are in the city, do you know?"

"Not counting the influx of refugees, there are more than 800 families, totaling more than 6,000 people. Because there was a rumor in the city that there was going to be a war, they were almost gone. Even if refugees are included, there is not half of what it used to be. The thief replied respectfully.

"Good. I don't know the name of the thief Cao Zun? ”

"I don't dare. He is a native of this county, with a humble name of Liang Jidong, who is thirty-three years old, and was promoted to this position six years ago. The thief replied respectfully, and even told his age, as if he was afraid that I didn't know.

"The thief Cao is very clear about the population flow survey of this county, and his work style is worth learning from everyone and is a model for everyone. It just so happens that I have a villager who has always been very motivated in his work, but he has not been well taught. Now, I'll hand him over to Lord Cao, the thief, to teach. Don't know what your opinion is? ”

"There are wise and brave adults, and they dare not make mistakes in their humble positions, which can be called a model. Teaching is not enough, it is just mutual promotion and mutual promotion. "Liang Jidong is very good at talking, and even more so at sycophancy. This answer was not only humble, but also complimented me, this guy is certainly not simple.

"Okay, I'll get him to you in a moment. Is there anything else you guys can do? If you don't, you can go your own way. ”

The group paused for a moment, then retreated.

"The second brother and the third brother stay." beckoned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to come over. "No matter what happens, I can't let my eldest brother give up the great cause of saving the people and the country."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at me in amazement.

"Last night, the second brother personally sent them out of the city, and it also fulfilled one of my biggest wishes. I just hope that she can live well in the future, and I don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Guan Yu saw that I mentioned her and wanted to speak. I preemptively said, "I understand the thoughts of the two virtuous brothers. Although we are righteous brothers, we are closer than brothers. If you have anything to say in the future, don't take it to heart, say it, and let's discuss it together. You must know that the path we have chosen is very difficult to follow, and many difficulties and dangers cannot be overcome by one person, and it takes our three brothers to work together to be fearless of everything. Am I right? ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded heavily and said, "Yes, big brother." ”

"The war is about to begin, so take care of your rest. The body is not good, and everything you do is fake. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I will eat and drink well and sleep well." Zhang Fei said with a snort.

"The third brother is right. Big brother, let's eat now. Guan Yu said.

Our brothers walked out of the house happily. When I saw that the doorman was still standing there, I went over and asked, "Why didn't you go in just now?" ”

"The lowly officials are lowly and dare not defile the house of the adults."

"What are these words, we are officials in the same dynasty, why do you come to say this. Don't know your surname? ”

"Humble money." The doorman replied with some nervousness. At his current age of about forty, how could he still be a small doorman? This must be because he doesn't have a backstage.

"Brother Qian, the thief Cao Na has a new position, you can go to him. Also, do you have a son? ”

"Yes, there are three dogs." Qian Liben's voice was very small, as if he was afraid that I would have some bad intentions.

"You can choose one of them to succeed you in your current position. Just talk to the second brother after choosing. ”

Zhang Fei said: "Yes, just tell the second brother." Big brother, let's go. ”

Entering the lobby and while eating, Li Wu ran in and reported: "The latest report has found out the number of rebels, a total of 13,000 people. ”

What? Where did so much come from? Didn't the total number of people who crossed the river be only seven thousand? I couldn't help but snap my tongue.
