Jingzhou, Wuling County.

On the green field, a few farmers are lowering their heads to clean up the weeds.

Occasionally he raised his head and joked, and his words were full of gossip from some parents, as if he didn't care about the chaos in Jingzhou.

There was a sound of horseshoes on the hillside in the distance. The farmers first looked up, and then their faces showed joy.

"General Guan is back!"

As soon as the words fell, the horse team galloped across the rammed earth road next to the field ridge, and the leading man was not Guan Yu or anyone else.

"Hold on."

"Yes."

Guan Yu suddenly tightened his horse and stopped, looked back at several old farmers, then got off the horse and gave a salute, politely asked: "Brothers, what's so unusual about this high-yielding rice?"

When several farmers saw Guan Yu speaking in person, they hurriedly bowed in return, carefully explaining some peculiarities of the rice.

In fact, it’s nothing. It’s nothing more than bigger and heavier rice ears, which require more nutrients. If the weeds are not cleaned up in time, the rice will not get enough nutrients, etc.

Guan Yu has also cultivated land, but he is not as experienced as some old farmers. After listening to them, he also knows that this high-yield rice is indeed different from ordinary rice varieties, and he needs to be patient and watchful during cultivation.

Looking up, although it is not yet the harvest season, the endless emerald green is delightful to look at.

"According to Wei's statement, this mu of land can harvest at least sixty or seventy shi of rice, which is several times more than the rice seeds in the past. If it is true, the people in Jingnan will no longer have to suffer from hunger." .”

Guan Yu said, looked at the old farmer beside him, and said with a smile: "Old brother, I need to trouble you to be more careful. If there is any change in the rice, you should report it to the city guard in time, so as not to cause more trouble."

The old farmer bowed and saluted, earnestly assured: "General, don't worry, Mr. Xuande has repeatedly instructed us in the notice, we will take good care of you."

Guan Yu cupped his fists again, greeted the others, and galloped towards the county seat.

boom!
"Wei Yan, don't go too far. This is Wuling, not Nanjun. Don't think I dare not fight back."

Huo Jun took off the leopard skin drape on his body, picked up the long stick on the ground with both hands, and glared at the man in front of him.

Wei Yan sneered, pulled out the saber from his waist, and said, "Huo Jun, don't forget who gave you your status today. After your elder brother died, who helped the Huo family to conquer the old tribe, and who gave you the authority military authority."

"Humph."

Huo Jun smiled, and then responded disdainfully: "So, should I sell my life to him? I, Bai Erlang from the Huo family, should let him control life and death?"

A look of helplessness flashed between Wei Yan's brows. Seeing his former colleagues so heartbroken, he actually felt uncomfortable, but he still couldn't agree with Huo Jun's actions.

"So, this is the reason why you betrayed the envoy and came here to attach yourself to Liu Xuande?"

"Isn't it good to be attached to Duke Xuande?"

Huo Jun said in a deep voice: "At least Duke Xuande treats us as his own brothers, unlike Liu Biao's hypocrite, who behaves differently on the surface and behaves differently behind his back, and his actions are always inseparable from the ugly face of the aristocrats of the family. "

The sound of rumbling horseshoes came from far to near, and at the gate of the city, the people brought by Wei Yan unconsciously gave way.

Wei Yan and Huo Jun, who were confronting each other, changed their expressions, and looked back at the person who came, and they put down the long sticks and short knives at the same time.

Huo Jun took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Why is Brother Yun here?"

Guan Yu glanced at him, nodded slightly, then looked at Wei Yan, frowned and said, "Why, Mr. Liu is going to blatantly breach the contract?"

Wei Yan's complexion changed, and he hastily denied the excuse and said: "It has nothing to do with the envoy, Wei is just here to catch up with old friends, Brother Guan won't even refuse such a trivial matter, right?"

Guan Yu smirked and said, "It's just old friends getting together, why did you set up a ring at the gate of this city? Come in, it just so happens that Guan has a few jugs of good wine here, so I'm going to give you a lot of money today!"

Guan Yu walked into the city gate with a smile on his own. Seeing this, Huo Jun smiled and cast a provocative look at Wei Yan. Wei Yan frowned, hesitated for a long time, and followed in.

In fact, Wei Yan's sudden trip to the south this time was not just for Huo Jun, but because Liu Biao had received a shocking news and sent him here to confirm one or two things.

Entering the city, Wei Yan and his party were surprised by the changes in front of them.

It's not like they haven't been to Wuling. In order to win Jingzhou, Liu Biao, as pawns, almost traveled all over Jingnan, but they didn't realize that Wuling County was so prosperous.

Although the passers-by on the street were wearing coarse linen clothes, everyone's energy was obviously different, as if they were more energetic, their steps were firmer, and their eyes were more radiant.

Wei Yan's footsteps paused a bit, it was hard to imagine, in just a few months, what happened in Wuling County under Liu Bei's governance, such an earth-shaking change.

In fact, Wei Yan has never been to Anyi.

If he went to Anyi, he would be amusing to find that all the changes in Wuling County can be traced in the first place.

Institutions similar to guards, there are also shops in the city with signboards with the word "Liu", salt and iron sold uniformly, etc.

Not long after, the three came to a tavern.

Guan Yu got off his horse and signaled the two of them to be free, while he went to the backyard first.

Wei Yan followed Guan Yu through the wooden window grille until Guan Yu walked into a room and saw no one else. Then he looked at Huo Jun, frowned and said, "The changes in this city are all caused by Liu Xuande alone. Gong? If he has such abilities, why has he never appeared?"

Huo Jun opened his mouth to reply, but hesitated for a moment, and felt that it made sense. Although Duke Xuande was benevolent, he had never shown the ability to govern. The changes in the city seemed to be the changes that occurred after Brother Guan went out for a trip.

On the other side, after Guan Yu walked into the room, his face immediately became dark.

He walked to the side of the bed and sat down, took out an embroidered handkerchief from his arms, put it on his nose and sucked it greedily, then looked more firmly at the map of Jingzhou Kanyu hanging on the wall.

knock knock!

"What's the matter?"

"General, our people found several caravans of the Wei family in Daze."

Guan Yu's expression changed, he put the embroidered handkerchief into his arms, and asked in a deep voice, "Did they find it?"

A voice from outside the window replied faintly: "I don't think so, they didn't seem to come here after us, but intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Sun Jian's news, to be precise, it was the cause of Sun Jian's death."

Guan Yu frowned when he heard the words, "Could it be that the Wei family is also interested in Jingzhou?"

The people outside the window were silent for a while, and then said: "No, you don't need to worry too much, General. Wei's investigation of the cause of Sun Jian's death may be just out of curiosity. If he really wants to get his hands on Jingzhou, he will not hesitate to use troops against Luoyang and Chang'an."

Guan Yu thought the same, then looked up at Kanyu map, squinted his eyes, and said: "After Sun Ce retreated to Changsha, our biggest enemy will be Liu Biao. If we can drive Liu Biao out of Jingzhou, then I will be able to face Lu Fengxian directly. Let him hand over that Qin..."

The black shadow outside the window seemed to move his feet, and then said: "General, it is not wise to face Liu Biao's sharpness too early, and the little overlord of Jiangdong, Sun Bofu, is not a good match either."

Guan Yu tightened the handkerchief on his chest, frowned and said, "What do you think, sir?"

Heiying said in a cold voice: "Of course...to wipe out the rest of Sun Jian and drive them out of Jingzhou."

···
The starry night is hazy, and the thick fog permeates Qianli Daze.

Suddenly a small boat came drifting with a solitary lamp in its hand, and landed on the side of the island in the middle of the lake. Immediately, someone came out of the darkness.

"it's me."

The black figure on the boat came down with a lamp, and several people saw his face, and at the same time withdrew the unsheathed long knife.

"Is the lord here?" Soi Ying asked indifferently.

The leader nodded slightly, first took the oil lamp from the man in black, and then said: "My lord has been waiting for a long time, sir, come with me."

The island in the center of the lake is full of muddy deep pits. If there is no one to guide the way at night, it may not be so easy to reach the center safely.

A few people walked around the tall reeds, and walked around for about a stick of incense, only to see a thatched hut located in a swamp, the only way in and out was a simple wooden hut pontoon.

"My lord, Mr. Kuai brought it here."

The man in black took off his cloak, revealing a slightly tanned face. His burly figure was somewhat incompatible with his style. On the contrary, the appearance of a warrior became an important means for him to win Guan Yu's trust.

"Kuai Yue has seen the lord."

The lights in the cottage flickered, and a figure appeared at the door.

Liu Biao smiled and said: "Yi Du, get up and talk quickly, you have made great contributions this time, when I return to the county mansion, I will have a drink with you."

Kuai Yue bowed his hands and saluted, not even daring to say.

Liu expressed his approval for him to speak inside, and at the same time held the door with his own hands, giving Kuai Yue courtesy and thoughtfulness.

The thatched hut looks simple, but it is actually luxuriously furnished inside. Not only is it smoked with sandalwood, but it is also covered with a layer of white gauze to prevent mosquito netting, and the middle is baked in a briquette stove. Not only is there no mosquito moisture in the room, but there is also a smell Light sandalwood fragrance.

In addition, there were two beautiful and lovely maids, Kuai Yue's expression changed, and he sat down on the futon under Liu Biao without changing his expression.

"Yiedu, how confident are you that Guan Yunchang will continue to use troops against Sun Jian's remaining troops?"

Liu expressed his appreciation for the beauty in his arms, raised his wine glass and asked Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue glanced at the picture of Liu Biao embracing left and right, raised his glass with both hands, and replied: "If it was [-]% before, after today, I am [-]% sure. Guan Yunchang is no more suspicious than Li Xuande, as long as he can help him achieve With that goal in mind, he's going nowhere."

Hearing this, Liu Biao nodded thoughtfully.

Then he looked at the beauty in his arms, and said curiously: "Then how beautiful is Qin Yilu's wife, that Guan Yunchang is so worried about her, that she acts so decisively, regardless of the consequences."

Kuai Yue raised a veiled smile with disdain, glanced at Liu Biao's intoxicated expression of breathing a young girl's fragrance, and felt contempt for no reason. No wonder Wei Shi, even Kuai Yue and others are dissatisfied with Cai Shi.

As for the two girls in Liu Biao's arms, who knows that Cai arranged to supervise Liu Biao?
It's ridiculous that Liu Biao is still enjoying it.

Hearing Liu Biao's longing, Kuai Yue replied as a matter of course: "If you can make Guan Yunchang so concerned, that woman must also have the beauty of a country and a city, with the appearance of a closed moon and a shameful flower."

Hearing this, Liu Biao couldn't help feeling dry mouth for a while, looked at Kuai Yue, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Kuai Yuequan thought he didn't see it, and he didn't need to think about it to know that Liu Biao must have had something wrong in his heart just now.

Not to mention that this woman is of great use in the next plan, even if she has nothing to do with Guan Yunchang, this woman also lives in Anyi County, Hedong County, and that place will not allow them to mess around.

Kuai Yue really wanted to remind Liu Biao that his second son died at the hands of that man last year, but Liu Biao didn't seem to mention "retiring in spite of difficulties".

Silence.

Liu Biao said with a bit of drunkenness: "Yidu, what do you think of Guan Yunchang, can he be used by me?"

Kuai Yue raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "My lord, it's better not to have his ideas. I have tested it several times. If we didn't have a common goal, he would not cooperate with us at all."

"That's really a pity. This Guan Yunchang has invincible courage, and the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" is ranked in the top ten existences. His combat power is second only to Lu Fengxian. With his help, not to mention the rest of Sun Jian's army Even Liu Yan of Yizhou can win."

Liu Biao's ranking automatically blocked several "perverts" of the Longshan Army. After all, not only were they powerful, but the Longshan armor and weapons on their bodies gave them even more points, so there was no comparison at all.

Hearing the word Liu Yan, Kuai Yue frowned slightly.

"Speaking of Yizhou, my lord, I accidentally heard someone mention that Liu Yan seems to be suffering from illness."

"Oh!?"

Liu Biao pushed the girl in his arms away, and asked excitedly, "Is the news true?"

Kuai Yue shook his head, and said bluntly: "The news came from a few Wudoumi believers, and it spread around the fish stalls near Daze. It seems that someone did it deliberately. If the news is true, I will definitely report it to my lord immediately."

Liu Biao sat back somewhat disappointed, nodded and said, "That's fine, I don't worry if you take care of things."

The two had another question and answer session, and after about half an hour, Kuai Yue took his leave.

Soon after Kuai Yue left, a man secretly followed him.

The man's order was to monitor Kuai Yue's every move, and Liu Biao was suspicious by nature, so this move was nothing.

What Liu Biao didn't expect was that after following Daze, the man caught up with Kuai Yue directly.

"My lord." The man cupped his fists and saluted.

Kuai Yue rode his horse, but his speed did not slow down at all, and he responded lightly, and then said: "After you go back, tell him that I secretly went to see the steward of Wei's caravan, and said that I was inquiring about Du Liniang. That's it."

The man clasped his fists should be.

Kuai Yue thought about it again, and said: "There is also the information on Yizhou, let the brothers check it out immediately, I always feel that Yizhou will undergo major changes, especially the five buckets of rice road and the mysterious ghost gate, as soon as there is news Send someone to inform you immediately."

The man clasped his fists and left, leaving Kuai Yue alone on horseback.

It was near dawn when Kuai Yue arrived at the county seat. When he looked up at the word [Wuling], he frowned slightly.

"Liu Jingsheng is still too naive. He really thinks he can drive tigers and wolfs away? But I don't know that Liu and Guan are destined by destiny. There is no place for you, Liu Jingsheng, in the southern part of Jingzhou.

This attack and killing of Sun Jian, who is using whom, everything is still unknown..."
