The time to take the "martial arts" test is after lunch.

Now, it's time for dinner.

Sunlight poured into the courtyard of the Sekifu and shone through the windows into the study.

Guan Yu's cheeks were a little melancholy, he stared at the two dishes in front of him, one meat and one vegetarian, but he couldn't raise half of his appetite.

Because... The staple food is gone.

The cakes that were steamed in the morning were inexplicably missing.

"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags!" Guan Yu chanted, he was angry because of Guan Lin's 'nonsense' answer when he was "Kawen", but now this is "the house leak coincides with the overnight rain", and all the unhappy things are together.

Simply, Guan Yu pushed the two dishes aside, completely lacking an appetite.

Zhou Cang on the side was also very helpless, Guan Yu likes to eat cakes.

For this reason, Zhou Cang specially instructed the man to steam a big pot of cakes early in the morning.

Who would have thought... By noon, the pot was opened, but the bread was gone.

Surprised?

Not surprised?

Someone had the audacity to steal in the "Guanfu"?

Zhou Cang had already ordered someone to investigate, and before the investigation was clear, he didn't dare to make a sound.

A crisp voice came from outside the house.

"Who provoked Guan Gong so much?"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang raised their eyes, and the person who came was an elegant man who had just reached the age of standing, with a delicate face, and a small pinch of 'white hair' mixed in his eyebrows was particularly eye-catching.

This person is none other than Jingzhou's state, the fourth son of the Ma family - 'Baimei' Ma Liang! Ma Jichang!

Different from the first echelon of Jingzhou's wealthy "Cai family" and "Kuai family", they surrendered to Cao Cao;

The second echelon of Pang, Ma, Xiang, and Xi are all loyal to Liu Bei, and the most prominent of the Ma family is this "white eyebrows" Ma Liang, people say - Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best, which can be seen.

Since Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang brought Jingzhou into Shu with a large number of civil and military forces, there has been a special lack of strategist talents in Jingzhou.

Ma Liang was specially left by Zhuge Liang to Guan Yu, and now he is Guan Yu's military advisor, and the relationship between the two is extremely good.

"It's just a small thing, and I don't bother with it." Guan Yu Yuguang finally glanced at the two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and his tone was as usual: "At this hour, Ji Chang is probably here for something important, right?" ”

Ma Liang noticed the two dishes on the table, "General, haven't eaten yet?" ”

"Don't eat yet." Guan Yu casually prevaricated, and his face became more serious: "Say, you, I won't go around the bend." ”

This one...

Ma Liang paused for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Just now, there are some 'voices' in the market? It is a matter of Jingzhou and the demarcation of Xiangshui, and the stakes are very important, and the lower officials did not dare to make arbitrary claims and came to meet the general. ”

Hunan water demarcation?

These four words came out, Guan Yu's eyes moved down, and his eyes stopped on the table, the bamboo slips here are the answer sheets of the children when they were just examining...

After listening to Ma Liang's words, it is inevitable that Guan Yu will think of Fang Cai's "Kaowen", Guan Lin's answer about Xiangshui as the boundary...

Especially the sentence "Three counties, dogs don't let you..."

As soon as he thought of this, Guan Yu was angry.

- This rebel?

- Who is the dog scolding?

"Guan Gong, this is..."Seeing the change in Guan Yu's complexion, Ma Liang asked cautiously.

"It's okay, you go on." Guan Yu suppressed the anger in his heart.

It's just that he still muttered in his heart repeatedly:

- Don't be angry, biological!

- When the martial arts test is later, let him have a good long memory!

- Hmph, I'm angry!

looked at Guan Yu's blue and red cheeks.

Ma Liang's words came out again, "There is a lot of discussion in the market, saying that Jiangdong wants to attack Jingzhou, and Sun Quan is using the plan of 'repairing the plank road in the Ming and Chencang in the dark', and he clearly sent Zhuge Jin to ask Guan Gong to return the three counties, and he has already raised troops behind his back, in a vain attempt to sneak attack and capture the three counties... Guan Gong, the so-called no wind and no waves! ”

Not...

Hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes suddenly condensed.

And subconsciously, what he thought of was still Guan Lin's answer...

That's right, there is another sentence in front of "Three counties, dogs won't let you", "Xiangshui is the boundary, and my father doesn't give it, can't Sun Quan rob it?" ”

Rob...

This is in line with rumors.

It's hard for Guan Yu not to think of these two things together.

No wind, no waves...

Yes, there is no wind and no waves!

Suddenly, his cheeks became complicated.

Ma Liang found that Guan Gong's expression was a little strange today, and hurriedly opened his mouth: "Guan Gong? Right? Do I need to hire a man? ”

Guan Yu didn't answer, but pulled out Guan Lin's answer sheet from the bamboo slip and handed it directly to Ma Liang.

"Ji Chang, let's take a look at this..."

Ma Liang took it and quickly unfolded...

The eyes looked at it, and it was good not to look at it, and at first glance, the first sentence attracted him deeply.

- "Empty talk misleads the country, hard work prospers the country!" ”

This... What a breath!

And below these eight big characters, there is also a column of small characters in seal style.

- "Xiangshui is the boundary, and my father doesn't give it, can't Sun Quan rob it?" In the three counties, the dogs are not allowed, but at this time when there is an answer, the city is long gone! ”

This is...

Ma Lianggang wanted to ask.

Guan Yu's voice has already come out, "Today's Chenshi Kaowen, this is the answer sheet of Wu'er Yunqi, and the title is this 'Xiangshui Demarcation'..."

This...

Ma Liang paused, his eyes rolling again and again.

He seemed to fall into thinking all of a sudden, and after a long time, his eyes were certain, and he sighed: "Guan Gong... This Yunqi son's answer sheet, although the words are rough, but the reason is not rough! ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu was stunned.

Ma Liang's words continued, "On the way here, I was thinking, even the gossip in the streets, every word pointed to Jiangdong's sneak attack on the three eastern counties of Jingzhou. The so-called no wind and no waves. Guan Gong, the heart of defense is indispensable, and the general must be guarded! ”

"Moreover, recently, Jiangdong has gathered countless famous generals and 100,000 soldiers and horses in Stone City, and it is said that it is the Northern Expedition Cao Thief, attacking Hefei, but... What if the purpose is not Hefei but Jingzhou? How far is Jiangxia from Stone Town? Take the waterway to start and go at night, Changsha and Guiyang are only two or three days away, if this is the plan of 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang'? That... The three eastern counties of Jingzhou are in danger! ”

Hiss...

After hearing Ma Liang's words, Guan Yu took a deep breath.

Ma Liang is a talent that Zhuge Liang is extremely optimistic about.

His talent and strategy Guan Yu can be trusted, if someone else says so, it's just that, he says so...

That...

Guan Yu's eyes couldn't help but look at Guan Lin's "answer sheet"...

And Ma Liang's eyes were also firmly fixed on it.

He spoke again: "Guan Gong, look at this sentence, 'Xiangshui is the boundary, and my father doesn't give it, can't Sun Quan rob it?'" ’”

Ma Liang continued to explain: "As Yunqi Gongzi said, in the current situation, Uncle Liu Huang's foothold in Bashu is not stable, and Cao Cao occupies Hanzhong and goes south to Bashu at any time, so under such a situation, how can it not be the best time for Jiangdong to recapture Jingzhou?" ”

"At this time, even if Jiangdong Sun Quan 'soldiers first and then salute' and sneak attack the three eastern counties of Jingzhou, what can Guan Gong do? At this special time, it is impossible for Uncle Liu Huang to break with Jiangdong, and it is even more impossible for the Sun-Liu alliance to collapse because of these three counties... In the end, these three counties can only be lost in vain, and they can't be lost..."

"On the contrary... If he waits a little longer, when Uncle Liu Huang sits firmly in Yizhou, and Jing Yilian becomes one, he Jiangdong will no longer have any chance, so... If I were Sun Quan, I would definitely make a desperate sneak attack on the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia, as long as I can defeat them, these three counties will completely belong to Jiangdong! ”

Speaking of this, Ma Liang's eyes blinked again and again.

He accentuated his tone and sighed again:

- "It is worthy of being the son of Guan Gong, the son of Yunqi is high!" ”
