Chapter 119: Raising troops in Yecheng, Guan Yu is still arrogant
The Montenegrin thieves claim to have millions of Tibetans and have a lot of demand for food.
In the seemingly rich Jizhou, there are also many villagers who can't stand the oppression who choose to cling to the Black Mountain thieves.
When the Montenegrin thieves are short of food, they will send troops to harass the neighboring counties.
Whether it is the Black Mountain thieves or the people of Changshan Country, they are all fighting to survive.
Compared with the villagers who were instigated in Qingzhou last year, the villagers in Montenegro have existed since the first year of Zhongping.
The contradiction in this is difficult to solve by copying the way of Qingzhou.
Liu Bei considered Zheng Ping's plan: "Xianmou, I will not be stingy with the manufacturing method of agricultural books and Quyuan plows." But will the Montenegrin thieves really agree to negotiate peace? β
Zheng Ping smiled slightly: "Although the Black Mountain thieves claim to have millions of Tibetans and are huge, their situation is far more difficult than what outsiders see. β
"We want to solve the 500,000 hungry people in Qingzhou, and we still have to requisition grain from neighboring states and counties, make promises to the wealthy families in Qingzhou, and settle 100,000 hungry people into the East China Sea Kingdom, etc."
"How can the Black Mountain thieves be self-sufficient?"
"The agricultural book and the Quyuan plough manufacturing method are not only used to negotiate peace with the Black Mountain thieves, but also used to allow Changshan to negotiate with the wealthy families of Changshan Country."
"Part of the governance law of Qingzhou makes it possible for Lieutenant Zhao to bring it back to Changshan Kingdom."
"Using multiple strategies, even if it can't fundamentally solve the problem of the Black Mountain thieves, it can also make the villagers on both sides suffer less."
"As long as Qingzhou does its best, it will be worthy of it!"
Although he was answering Liu Bei's question, Zheng Ping's words were actually for Zhao Yun.
Although Qingzhou could not directly send troops to help Changshan Kingdom resist the Black Mountain thieves, it could use other ways to reduce the fighting between the two sides.
This is the benevolence of Qingzhou and the righteousness of Qingzhou!
When Zheng Ping gave Zhao Yun a general statement about the purpose of the agricultural book and the Quyuan plow, Zhao Yun was stunned.
Such valuable books and farm tool manufacturing methods, Liu Bei said that he would send them, without the slightest hesitation?
"Liu makes Jun benevolent and virtuous, and Yun admires!" Zhao Yun bowed his hand, and only admired in his heart: "If you can successfully negotiate peace with the Black Mountain Thieves and ensure that the people of Changshan Country will not be harassed by the Black Mountain Thieves for the time being, even if Yun single-handedly, he will help Lu Shangshu crusade against Dong Zhuo!" β
Liu Bei laughed and immediately set up a banquet to entertain Zhao Yun.
But Zhao Yun hoped to return to his life as soon as possible, so he politely declined the banquet.
Liu Bei didn't persuade much, and prepared a three-point annotated version of the "Book of Bisheng", "Four Peoples Moon Order" and the Quyuan Plough manufacturing method printed on Zuo Bo paper, packed it in a back box, and let Zhao Yun take it away.
Looking at the back of Zhao Yun leaving, Liu Bei was reluctant: "Changshan Zhao Zilong, he is really a righteous and brave man!" Such a talent, if he can come to Qingzhou, it will definitely be the blessing of Qingzhou and the luck of the Han family! β
Although it was the first time to meet Zhao Yun and he didn't talk much, Liu Bei already had a rough judgment on Zhao Yun's words and deeds.
Coupled with Zheng Ping's praise, Liu Bei had a strong reluctance towards Zhao Yun, and he couldn't wait to have a long talk with him.
"So that you don't have to be impatient, what should come will always come." Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly, and his words were firm and natural: "Lieutenant Zhao has the people in mind, the lord is benevolent and loves the people, he has changed in Jizhou every day, although Zhao Duwei is thousands of miles away, he will also come to vote for the king." β
"It's just that as soon as the clouds are gone, the plains need to be able to garrison."
"Adjustable Yide and Zhang Hong into the plain, and then adjust the constitution and into Donglai County, temporarily acting as the Taishou of Donglai County."
Liu Bei nodded, agreed with Zheng Ping's deployment, and said: "Zibu said that there are several materials that can be made in the official school, and it is recommended that I transfer them to various counties and counties to study and practice, and then return to the school." β
Zheng Ping thought for a while: "Let Ah Jin go to Jinan and temporarily act as the minister of Jinan; Then put Lu Su under Ziyi's command and follow Ziyi to learn to command the army. β
"The rest, stay in the academy for the time being."
Zhuge Jin and Lu Su are currently two of the best in official learning.
One is good at government affairs, and the other is good at military strategy, but both are stronger in theory than in practice.
Letting them go out for a while and then coming back can make the two of them have a deeper understanding of the government and military.
The decree was issued shortly.
As the assassin of Qingzhou, Liu Bei has very little leisure time on weekdays.
was busy until dark, and Liu Bei finished his official business.
This is still an official document that needs to be reviewed by Liu Bei in person after being approved by Zhang Zhao, Zhao Yu, Liu Hui, and Zheng Ping at various levels.
Otherwise, even if Liu Bei stayed up all night, he would not be able to deal with it.
Dragging his tired body, as soon as Liu Bei returned to the inner courtyard, he didn't even have time to wash, so he fell asleep directly.
By the time Guo Zhao arrived, Liu Bei had already heard heavy breathing.
"Alas~" Guo Zhao sighed lightly, took off Liu Bei's shoes and socks, and asked people to call hot water, carefully wiped Liu Bei, and then covered Liu Bei with a quilt, and then quietly walked out of the door, asking the maid not to enter and disturb.
As Liu Bei's wife, Guo Zhao also has a lot of things.
Liu Bei is now a Qingzhou assassin, not an ordinary man, so Guo Zhao has to manage not only Liu Bei's internal affairs, but also Liu Bei's cronies and the families of Wenwu.
After all, these people are all working for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei gave Guo Zhao enough respect, and Liu Bei's brother-in-law Zhang Fei also specially found ambergris. Guo Zhao naturally took the initiative to take the initiative to comfort the Wenwu family.
Although Guo Zhao has not been in Zicheng for a few days, Guo Zhao has already visited more than a dozen of Qingzhou's civil and military families.
Gui is the daughter of the princess, the niece of Emperor Huan and the King of the Plains, and the wife of the Qingzhou Thorn History, and she will personally bring gifts to ask for warmth.
How can this not move the families of these civil and military families?
And Guo Zhao also knows how to measure, every time he goes to visit the family of Wenwu, he will use Liu Bei's name!
Really told these civil and military family members that because Liu Bei was busy with official business on weekdays, it was difficult for him to come in person, so she, the lady of Qingzhou Thorn History, came to condole.
As the saying goes: If there is a good wife in the family, the man will not be wronged.
Guo Zhao's words and deeds also made Liu Bei more respectful.
After settling Liu Bei, Guo Zhao instructed the maid beside him: "Xiao Fluttershy, send the letter from the daughter of Kong Xiang in the drama county to the other mansion immediately." β
At the mention of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Guo Zhao's mouth.
After learning that Zheng Ping had postponed the marriage for three years, Guo Zhao had been thinking about how to entrap Zheng Ping for Liu Bei.
After all, Zheng Ping has always called Liu Bei the envoy, which makes Guo Zhao feel a little bottomless.
Calling the envoy means that Zheng Ping can leave Qingzhou at any time!
Thereupon.
Guo Zhao sent someone to Drama County and gave Kong Su an idea, so that if Kong Su had a thought, he could put it on the letterhead.
In the Han Dynasty, there were also letters describing longing, but they were basically men and women after marriage.
Writing love letters before getting married is embarrassing for Kong Su.
But the maid sent by Guo Zhao was also sharp-tongued, and she quickly persuaded Kong Su, and the book of thoughts was directly sent to Guo Zhao.
"Mr. Xianmou is not a person of formality, as long as few people know about this, Mr. Xianmou will definitely laugh at it." In Guo Zhao's beautiful eyes, there is also a color of wisdom.
Fluttershy is ordered to come to Bejiafu, saying that Guo Zhao thanked Zheng Ping for his hard work on behalf of Liu Bei, and brought some special products from Drama County.
As soon as he saw the letter in the box, Zheng Ping understood what Guo Zhao meant.
"Please tell Mrs. Guo that I am a gentleman's friend and a friend, and I will accept this letter." Zheng Ping accepted Guo Zhao's kindness.
Since Guo Zhao gave Zhang Fei wine, Zheng Ping knew that Guo Zhao had a high emotional intelligence and knew how to get the support of Liu Bei's subordinate Wenwu.
Now that the goodwill is released, but it is just right, Zheng Ping will naturally not refuse.
After all.
This came from the letter of Kong Su in the drama county, and Zheng Ping was very happy to see it.
Because of some customs and etiquette in this era, Zheng Ping has almost not been able to communicate with Kong Su too much in the past three years.
Etiquette is etiquette, even if you think it is cumbersome, you have to respect it.
At least on the surface, there has to be respect!
This is also the reason why Jian Yong is often scolded as a rude.
But in private, Zheng Ping is unwilling to be constrained by some cumbersome customs.
Anyway, they are their future wives, and it is reasonable for this correspondence to express the bottom line.
Kong Su's handwriting is simple and beautiful, and the content is also very obscure.
Although it is said to be a book of thoughts, the content is actually just a transcription of a song from a book of poetry.
Obviously, this is the first time to send a letter, Kong Su is also afraid of being discovered, and then accused of being rude.
Immediately.
Zheng Ping also put pen to paper, and also expressed the vague meaning of longing in the fu.
But Zheng Ping did not send it out through the Assassin Mansion, but asked his cronies to send it to Xi County.
Accepting kindness is to make Guo Zhao feel at ease and avoid bad things on Guo Zhao's pillow.
The purpose of sending cronies is to let Guo Zhao understand who Zheng Ping is working for.
The other side.
Guan Yu, who received the order, immediately mobilized 500 cavalry to Yecheng.
As long as it is Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu will carry it out.
Not to mention just going to Yecheng to stand by, even if he wanted to let these five hundred cavalry take Yecheng, Guan Yu would not frown.
"Master Lu, my brother has an order, Guan has to pioneer the soldiers to go to Yecheng."
"For the rest, my brother will explain it to Master Lu."
Guan Yu didn't forget to explain to Lu Zhi.
After all, he was originally going to Luoyang to respond to Zhu Jun, but now he is going to Yecheng again.
Lu Zhi nodded: "Yun Chang will go by himself, and when Xuande comes, the old man will personally ask the reason." β
Immediately.
Guan Yu commanded five hundred cavalry, only brought dry food, and headed for Yecheng.
The Plains Country is adjacent to Wei County, and the movement of these five hundred cavalry is not small.
Soon, the news was learned by Bao Xin of Dongwuyang.
"Not long after Meng De left, Guan Yu sent troops to Wei County, how could the speed be so fast?" Bao Xin was surprised.
But thinking of Cao Cao's instructions before leaving, Bao Xin did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Cao Cao.
Meantime.
Bao Xin also drove his troops out of Dongwuyang and blocked Guan Yu on the official road.
"What kind of person, dare to trespass on Wei County!" Bao Xin immediately asked knowingly.
Guan Yu saw that someone was blocking the road, Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and this arrogance was not disguised: "Under the command of Qingzhou Thorn Shi, Pingyuan Guan Yu, was ordered to go to Yecheng. β
Bao Xin secretly said that it was not good, and waved his knife and asked, "Whose order?" I didn't get the military order. β
"Who are you?" Guan Yu squinted and asked.
Bao Xin said in a condensed voice: "Broken General Bao Xin! β
Guan Yu snorted coldly: "It turned out to be you!" Mr. said that General Lingnapo was appointed by Yuan Shaofeng, not by the edict of the Son of Heaven. In other words, you, the Broken General, are just a hypocrite. β
"A hypocrisy, and not an official of Wei County, you dare to stop Guan?"
Bao Xin was stunned for a moment, and then a little annoyed: "I am a hypocrite, did you get the imperial court edict to appoint you?" β
Guan Yu sneered: "Since everyone is a hypocrite, then what qualifications do you have to stop me?" If you don't leave, don't blame Guan for being ruthless! β
Bao Xin was dumbfounded.
Can a hypocrisy be so justified?
Glancing at Guan Yu's five hundred cavalry, Bao Xin felt a little empty in his heart.
The soldiers and horses of Dongwuyang are basically newly recruited.
It's okay to fight thieves, but to stop Guan Yu's cavalry, Bao Xin can't do it.
thought that Guan Yu would be polite, and Bao Xin could delay the time, but Guan Yu didn't save any face for Bao Xin.
"Damn!"
Bao Xin gave way.
Looking at Guan Yu's formation, if he didn't give way, it was really possible to rush and kill directly.
When Bao Xin died, there was no place to reason.
After all.
A plain puppet army encountered a broken general on the way to block the road, and the conflict was defined as a mutual assault at most.
"Someone must be sent to inform Benchu immediately."
"was guessed by Meng De, Liu Bei really intervened in the battle between Ben Chu and Han Fu."
Bao Xin felt worried.
Liu Bei's soldiers and horses came too fast!
It was as if he had already guessed that Yuan Shao would raise troops to question Han Fu.
Guan Yu came too fast, and before Tian Feng left Wei County, Guan Yu took the lead in encountering Tian Feng and Liu Hui's family members.
But the five hundred cavalry roared by, and Guan Yu did not meet Tian Feng, after all, neither of these two knew anyone.
Arrived at the foot of Yecheng.
Guan Yu directly camped fifty miles away from Yecheng and erected a banner.
Han Fu in the city was almost stunned by Guan Yu who suddenly appeared, and hurriedly summoned Fu Zhu to ask about countermeasures: "Don't drive, didn't you say that this Liu Bei would help me?" β
"Tian Feng has not yet arrived in Qingzhou, Guan Yu has already arrived in Yecheng."
"Do you dare to say that Liu Bei didn't respond to Yuan Shao's call to rob the old man's Jizhou?"
Fu Zhu was also taken aback by Guan Yu, who suddenly arrived: "Don't panic when you make you." Guan Yu camped fifty miles away from the city, not necessarily in response to Yuan Shao. β
"Zhu Jun sent a message to the envoy a few days ago, hoping that the envoy could crusade against Dong Zhuo again."
"I heard that this Guan Yu is Lu Zhi's protΓ©gΓ© again, could it be Yecheng who came by the way to respond to Zhu Jun?"
Han Fu's fear dissipated a lot, and he said worriedly: "Don't drive out of the city and ask?" β
Fu Zhi secretly despised Han Fu for a while, but he did have doubts in his heart, so he rode out of the city to see Guan Yu.
Seeing that it was frustrated, Guan Yu also gave frustration basic respect.
After all, Liu Hui was recommended by frustration, and Guan Yu looked at Liu Hui's face, so he still had to be respectful and frustrated.
"Don't come to my camp, do you have something important to discuss?" Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes and asked knowingly.
He couldn't figure out Guan Yu's thoughts, and asked tentatively: "Guan Xiang, have you ever met Tian Feng and Zi Huigong's family car?" β
"Huh?" Guan Yu remembered the car battles passing by on the official road, and said indifferently: "I may have encountered it, but I didn't stop asking." β
