Nanyang County has a large population. Of the eight counties in Jingzhou, Nanyang accounts for half of the population. It has a large population, a large territory, and many cities. Counting Wancheng, the Nanyang prefecture city, there are a total of 36 cities in Nanyang County that need to be defended.

More cities require more troops, and the main troops are placed in the cities bordering Nanjun and Jiangxia Commanderies. In this way, the main busy ones are the generals stationed in each city.

Go here today to have a look and see there tomorrow, the city wall on this side needs to be repaired and the moat on the other side needs to be widened, and I have been dealing with the magistrates and county magistrates of various counties non-stop. .

Zhao Yun is not in Wancheng these days, and Lu Bu is a restless character. It is a pity that he did not see Zhao Zilong, but he found another good seed who can fight, and he is also a rare talent who is good at fighting on water.

Just now we had a fight on the school grounds, it's not bad that the kid can last dozens of rounds under him, just as he arrived in Nanyang, the next door Jiangxia Huangzu started dishonest, such a good time, it would be a pity not to go out and let the wind go.

He has seen the map of Jiangxia, the mountains and waters are not conducive to cavalry combat, Gan Ning and Gan Xingba have been water bandits, water bandits must be better than water troops, and his soldiers will definitely not be able to match Huang Zu's soldiers Losing, it is better for them to cooperate to take Jiang Xia down.

Before going out, General Lu was told by his master thousands of times that as long as no one came to the door, he must discuss with the counselors before sending troops, otherwise, if he was reported to the Yecheng government office for sending troops privately, he would not stay outside. Just go back to Yecheng to receive the punishment.

Just a joke, how could he, such an obedient general as Lu Fengxian, be reported to the lord for such a reason.

General Lu considered himself a civilized person with good manners and etiquette. After so many years with the lord, it was impossible for him to make no progress as before.

Now even if he is asked to sit in the study and deal with the chores sent from all directions, he can finish reviewing without changing his face. Sooner or later, he will be as capable as Cao Mengde in both civil and military skills.

At the gate of the official office, Gan Ning rubbed his shoulders and walked slowly in. He always felt that he was already good at fighting. When he was in Yizhou, none of the generals around Liu Yan could make him notice. Later, when he came to Jingzhou, The situation under Liu Biao's hands is better than Yizhou's, but it's not much better.

A few days ago, Sun Bofu, a boy in his early twenties, was able to fight him on par. Later, there came Zhao Zilong, who danced vigorously with a spear, and now there was Lu Fengxian, who could push him to the ground. Hey, it's just that he hasn't been out of Yizhou and hasn't seen a big scene before co-authoring, and anyone who comes outside casually can be on par with him.

Liu Yan has no capable people under his command, and Liu Biao has no capable people under his command. So far, all the people he has fought against him are the subordinates of Jizhou Yuan Situ.

He didn't believe that anyone could withstand so many warriors, it was too bullying.

Gan Ning walked lazily, muttering as he walked, the expression on his face changed, and finally he was overjoyed. Fortunately, he knew the time and defected to Yuan Situ early, otherwise he would lead troops to fight these guys in the future , unless he stays on the boat for the rest of his life, there is absolutely no possibility of winning.

Others have food and drink on the shore, but they have to go down on the boat to replenish food and water. As long as they get off the boat, they will definitely lose. In this way, even having a boat can't change anything, and they will lose sooner or later.

Lu Bu is tall and walks fast, he came out after a short while, seeing Gan Ning's expression changing, he didn't know what he was muttering, so he went straight up to the two good brothers and took him to his temporary house, "Let's go, let's eat first , We will discuss business after dinner."

Gan Ning raised his head in a daze, and was dragged to the door before he could speak, "No, I have something to eat..."

"Don't look out, the cooks brought by this general from Yecheng are very skilled, and taste better than the food in the official office." Lu Bu shook the two pheasant feathers on his head, patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and continued walking , "I brought you with you because you can fight. Others are not willing to take care of me when they come to this general."

Gan Ning: ...

At the door, Yuan Shu looked at the two pheasant feathers that were getting farther and farther away, pinched his chin thoughtfully, "Mr. Xi, did General Gan Ning ask for help just now?"

Xi Zhicai's expression remained the same, "The general thinks too much. General Fengxian has always been friendly to his colleagues. The shoulder-to-shoulder connection between generals is a symbol of good feelings."

"No, you can put this on others, but not necessarily on Lu Fengxian." Yuan Shu replied solemnly, "When they come back, they will know what's going on. I can guarantee that Lu Fengxian will definitely drag Gan Xingba to the corner. I have taught them a lesson, they all have this virtue in the army, I understand."

Still friendly colleagues?These words will never be put together with the name Lu Fengxian in the next life!

Xi Zhicai: All right, let’s take it as what you said is right.

Mr. Xi, who has gone through many trials and hardships, has already practiced the ability to keep his expression unchanged when a mountain collapses in front of him. He can turn back with a calm expression when he hears anything. He has been in Nanyang for so long. He has long been pissed to death by the prefect who has "full of tricks".

The afternoon sun was very good, and it made people drowsy when it shone on them. It was a pity that the officials in the government office did not have time to bask in the sun. They had to continue working after taking a nap after lunch.

Seeing the scars on Gan Ning's face, Yuan Shu glanced at Zhao Xizhi proudly, and then cared about this poor man who has not been in Nanyang for a long time, "The look on Xingba's face Is the wound okay? I have good wound medicine in my house, it will never leave any scars after using it, and I will send someone to fetch it for Xingba later."

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, but you don't need to bother, this injury will heal itself in three or two days, and you don't need to waste medicine." Gan Ning was a little baffled, it was just a little bruise at the corner of his mouth, how could he use medicine?

Xi Zhicai interrupted the two of them with a light cough, and raised his eyes to look at Lu Fengxian who was sitting across from him with a strong sense of presence, "What's the matter with General Fengxian just now?"

Lu Bu squinted his eyes and cut straight to the point, "I heard that Huang Zu of Jiangxia is stationing troops and intends to attack Nanyang. Instead of waiting for others to attack, why don't we take the initiative to attack him and catch him off guard?"

Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, and was trying to dissuade him when he heard Yuan Taishou who was on the main seat applaud loudly, "Marquis Wen's bravery is well known in the world, with Marquis Wen leading his troops into battle, mere Huang Zu is vulnerable to a single blow. "

Lu Bu grinned, coincidentally, he felt the same way.

Xi Zhicai sighed helplessly, pointed to the paper on the desk, then shook his head at Yuan Shu, what did their lord say before?Fighting wastes people's money and wastes money. If you can not send troops, try not to send troops. Even if you send troops, you must take advantage of the time, place, and harmony. Obviously, you have to review the letter of the lord every day. Why do you forget it when things come to an end?

Yuan Shu hesitated after receiving the reminder, and immediately changed his words before Lu Bu could say anything, "But Jiangxia County is not worth doing by Marquis Wen himself. Wouldn't it be nice for me to reap the benefits when Jingzhou becomes chaotic by itself?"

It's okay, it's okay, I almost went out with my mouth bald.

fight?What battle are you fighting?

They love peace, and what they have to do is to take the initiative to help when there is civil turmoil in the other party's home, instead of just attacking and causing chaos when the other party's home is not in chaos. As the world's number one teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can they provoke a war? Woolen cloth?

No, no, Marquis Wen, Marquis Wen, your ideological awareness is not enough.

Brother said it well, the best policy is to subjugate the army without fighting, and sending troops to attack the city at every turn is what rough people do, they can't do stupid things.

Lu Bu just felt that the dispatch of troops was stable this time, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to change his words in the middle of the game.

Xi Zhicai had no choice but to comfort Yuan Shu himself, he was afraid that if Yuan Shu continued talking, Lu Fengxian would be able to demolish the council hall on the spot.

Yuan Shu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, so what, he is used to being straightforward, and he accidentally said what was in his heart, no wonder, no wonder.

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter every day, and people's tempers are getting more irritable every day. Summer is a season where friction is easy to get angry. Things that can be explained in a few words can become murderous and fatal when put on two irritable people. event.

Chen Deng served as the lieutenant of Diannong, and the new official took office three fires. The first fire burned on the refugees who gathered outside the city and built huts to survive. These refugees did not escape from other places, most of them were from Xuzhou. The locals are just unable to pay taxes due to family difficulties, and they don’t want to be attached to a big family as serfs, so they have to drag their families and leave their hometowns.

Diannong officials and state herdsmen are not in the same system. To put it simply, the Diannong officials in each state and county are under the direct management of Yuan Huanyuan Situ in Yecheng, and political and agricultural affairs are managed separately. Diannong officials cannot interfere in the political affairs of counties and counties. Nor can it interfere with the management of agricultural affairs by the agricultural officials.

People depend on food, and when encountering natural disasters, the priority is to ensure food production. If there is something that cannot be solved, the Diannong official can directly report the matter to Yecheng, instead of going through the prefect Zhoumu to deal with it layer by layer. It was sent to Yecheng when it couldn't be dealt with.

Zhang Fei was impatient, and things went wrong after he came to Xuzhou. Their elder brother was busy all day trying to win over the Xuzhou family, but he was too rough to help, and he was really aggrieved. There is no place to vent the fire, so he can go out of the city.

The barren fields were being reclaimed outside the city of Xiapi. After Chen took office, he immediately started counting the number of refugees in Xiapi. As long as the food in the government treasury could last until the next batch of food, they would not need to allocate food from other places for emergency.

These years of war have brought a lot of unowned wasteland. As long as there are people with seeds, the wasteland can be reclaimed and turned into good land. He bought some new farm tools from Yanzhou, and sent blacksmiths from Xuzhou to learn how to make iron plows. , The new farm tools are much easier to use than the previous ones, but they are a bit wasteful.

Xiaowei Chen was so busy that he didn't return to the city once in ten days and half a month, and he just settled outside the city. Liu Bei invited him several times, but he refused on the grounds that he was too busy to go to the banquet, so he had no choice but to give up.

Chen Yuanlong was really busy, he wasn't looking for excuses to not come on purpose, if he insisted on leaving a bunch of business to come to the banquet, it would only appear that he, the shepherd of the state, didn't know the sufferings of the people.

Liu Bei thinks so, but Zhang Fei doesn't.

Zhang Yide has been dissatisfied for a long time with Chen Yuanlong, the Diannong Xiaowei who has been invited several times by his elder brother but has never shown up. He does not know where he heard that Chen Deng once had contacts with Sun Ce, the prefect of Guangling. Afterwards, the elder brother became furious, took the whip and immediately left the city towards Chen Deng's farm.

There are tens of thousands of acres of wasteland outside Xiapi City. It is not easy to reclaim so much wasteland. Xuzhou’s grain reserves cannot last long. The seeds must be planted before May, otherwise even if the wasteland is reclaimed, it will not be able to catch up with the summer seeds. Summer planting will waste a season in vain, and Xuzhou does not have so much food to waste.

Chen Deng's dream is to open up wasteland and farm land every day. After the wasteland in Xiapi has been opened up, there are other places. Xuzhou has been tossed a lot these years. Except for Guangling, which is still rich, there are a large number of wasteland refugees in other counties. Xiapi and Pengcheng are the most serious. , Even if there is no need for farming in other places, he needs to arrange farming.

Taxation needs to be adjusted, what to plant in the field needs to be planned, and the officials in charge of farming in counties and counties also have to be beaten. He is so busy that he can't wait to divide one person into ten people. Let alone Liu Bei's invitation, even if the emperor comes, he may not be able to let him go. job.

Ever since, Zhang Fei personally came to the door and was rejected.

When others came, they left without seeing anyone leaving a message. Zhang Fei couldn't bear this, and within a few words, he quarreled with Chen Deng's people. One couldn't hold back his anger, and then he drew his sword kill.

After Chen Deng knew what happened, he was completely dumbfounded. He and Liu Zhoumu made it clear, what did Zhang Yide do who killed him for no reason?

When Liu Bei got the news, his eyes were darkened, and he wished to use the whip to get the third younger brother, who was used to causing trouble, to be honest. "Chen Yuanlong is busy in the summer outside the city, what is Yide doing to provoke him? Isn't this looking for trouble?"

Guan Yu gritted his teeth with a dark face, "Don't worry, big brother, I'll go get third brother back."

Liu Bei sighed heavily, what's the use of getting it back, people have already offended, and it's too late to make amends, even if they can bring people back to life, they still have thorns in their hearts, let alone they can't bring people back to life, "Come on People, prepare the chariots and horses."

Yide caused trouble, he, the big brother, has to go to make amends, the Chen family is a famous family in Xiapi, and he offended people to death before they had time to make friends, what's the matter?

"My lord, General Yide has already killed someone, and it's useless to make amends, can you listen to me?" Jian Yong quickly stepped forward to persuade, "Although my lord is the state shepherd, Xuzhou mostly takes care of their own affairs. , General Yide is so impulsive to complain about the lord."

"What's the countermeasure for Xianhe?" Liu Bei squeezed his brows, stopped and sat back. It's hard to be a state shepherd. He can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted these days.

Jian Yong and Jian Xianhe are his fellow villagers. The two of them have known each other since childhood. Since he was an official in Pingyuan, Jian Xianhe has been running around with him. Although they are not sworn brothers, their friendship is better than sworn brothers.

Jian Yong took a step forward, cupped his hands and replied, "My lord, now this Xuzhou is full of people from the former Situ of Jizhou. Instead of wasting time here, I might as well leave this place and find another way out."

Liu Bei opened his eyes, "Find another way out?"

Jian Yong nodded, "Qingzhou Shisun Zhou Mu told his old man to return to his hometown. It is not known whether he took the initiative to tell his old man to return to his hometown or was forced to tell his old man to return to his hometown. In Yong's humble opinion, the latter is more likely. The former Situ was not a soft-hearted person. Being murdered by him, my lord, as a scholar recommended by Sun Zhoumu, if I want to protect myself, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to ascend to the blue sky."

Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, is currently recruiting celebrities from all over the country. They can send Sun Qian to explore the way. Sun Gongyou was recommended by the great scholar Zheng Xuan to be in the state. It can be said that he has the name of teacher and student with Zheng Xuan, and he is the most suitable person to send to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei sighed softly, "Going to Jingzhou is easier said than done."

"Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou and the general are both clansmen of the Han family. Even if he loses the position of Xuzhou shepherd and the lord takes the initiative to go to Jingzhou, Liu Jingsheng will not treat the lord badly." Jian Yong continued to persuade. Xuzhou is in danger of losing his life.

With General Yide's violent temper, this only offended Chen Yuanlong. If one day he clashed with the guards of the prefect's mansion not far away, he couldn't imagine what would happen next.

The protagonist has great ambitions, but Liu Jingsheng only wants to protect himself in Jingjiang. Compared with living a difficult life in Xuzhou, it is obviously easier to find a foothold in Jingzhou.

If the opportunity never comes again, does the lord really stop thinking about it?
