Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Before the Hulao Pass, the two sides were fighting each other, entering a stalemate, and the situation became delicate.

But in Youzhou, the situation is very clear.

Arrange for Gongsun Du, leave Wang Fu to sit in the west of Liaoxi, and Guan Yu and Xu You lead the army straight to Zhuojun.

Ding Yuan knew that he was on Xu You's blacklist, so how could he dare to stay.

The moment Guan Xu returned to the soldiers, he brought his family and belongings southward, and couldn't afford to provoke them or hide them?
I'm back to Dongdu!

Therefore, Xu You only met Liu Yu who "loves the people like a son".

Liu Yu just made money to play with women, and then the house got a three-bedroom concubine, and he could form a women's football team.

Xu You and Guan Yu summed it up, this guy belongs to the clan, so he must not move.

Fortunately, Liu Yu is very knowledgeable, whoever the military and political power loves, anyway, it doesn't affect my money.

Therefore, Xu You took charge of the government, Guan Yu led the troops, quickly assembled [-] troops, and marched into Jizhou.

Liu Bei was appointed by the Empress Dowager as the General of Zhenbei. He was in charge of Yongyou and the troops of the four prefectures of Hebei, which was reasonable and legal.

What's more, it is Lu Zhi who leads Jizhou pastoral, and the three governors of Jizhou are not at all level enough to speak.

Facing the soldiers and horses of Youzhou who burst the embankment from the flood, the whole territory of Jizhou simply knelt down.

Hejian, Changshan, Qinghe, and Yecheng looked forward to the wind, and Guan Yu's battle flag was planted on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Looking at the fluttering battle flags on the other side of the river, rumors spread among the soldiers and civilians of Dongjun.

"It looks like the Youzhou soldiers are coming tomorrow!"

"It's over, it's over, how can we deal with the emptiness of Yanzhou's troops right now?"

"Stupid? They are soldiers from Yongzhou. In fact, Yongyou is one body. Jizhou Mu is Zhijinwu's mentor. So, think about it, even if you have soldiers and generals, what can you do?"

"Hey, I heard that the farmers and merchants in Yongzhou are doing well, who are they doing it for?"

"Blow it, you, the world is as black as a crow!"

……

No matter how anxious the soldiers and civilians of Dongjun and Yanzhou were, Guan Yu really didn't have the energy to cross the river again.

Liu Bei's instructions are very clear: consolidate Youzhou, stabilize Jizhou, and don't advance blindly.

However, Jizhou is the center of the world, not only has many generous people, but also a lot of literati and celebrities.

Guan Yu blushed and invited each family according to the list, eager to seek talents.

The top ones are Tian Feng, Cui Yan, Jushou, Zhu Ling, Qianzhao and others.

More than [-] sages from Jizhou gathered together in Yecheng.

Guan Yu was open and honest, and said bluntly: I will be in charge of the military power of Jizhou under the order of Jinwu.And under the order of the Taishi, the officials in Jizhou were rectified.

Therefore, Jizhou is the Jizhou of Jizhou people. How to develop the economy and improve the people's livelihood depends on the abilities of all the sages.

More than [-] people were shocked. This flirtatious sentence is equivalent to smashing Jizhou from top to bottom?

It is better for Tian Feng, Cui Yan and others who are not officials, but Ju Shou is now serving as the captain of cavalry, so he has to ask clearly.

"Is there an imperial order for this matter?"

Guan Yu came prepared and presented the official document signed by the Taishi Mansion.

There are a lot of eloquence, and it can be summed up in six words: self-determination of Jizhou government affairs.

At this moment, a group of celebrities and sages saw the opportunity to get ahead, and weighed it up one after another.

The Yongzhou Department and the Taishi Department have joined forces, and there is no opponent in the north of the Yellow River. Now Liu Bei has offered an attractive offer, which cannot be missed.

Guan Yu saw the opportunity to add fire.

"As long as you follow the "Laws of the Great Han Dynasty", Guan only cares about military affairs and does not ask about government affairs at all."

Hey, that's a good feeling!

When the last red stone fell to the ground, everyone agreed that Jizhou must be in their own hands.

So share the cake.

Jushou did his part and won the most critical post of governor of Yecheng.

Tian Feng served as the governor of Hejian, Cui Yan took over the governor of Qinghe, and the rest were county guards and county magistrates.But Qianzhao said, first go to Dongdu to meet Liu Bei before making a decision.

After careful questioning by everyone, they learned that when they were young, they had studied in Dongdu, and at that time they knew Liu Bei who was also studying.

Today, the old friend has a high position and authority, and I want to find out in person, to see what Liu Bei thinks about Jizhou?
In addition, Qianzhao has excellent martial arts skills, is very chivalrous, and prefers to serve in the army.

Tian Feng, Ju and Cui Yan were all amazed by Qianzhao's popularity and all agreed.

It is related to the long-term development plan of Jizhou. Jizhou must have its own generals and army, which is very necessary.

Guan Yu didn't care when he learned about the idea of ​​leading a move.

He fought on the grasslands before and took over Youzhou, but now that he has taken Jizhou, the generals are not enough.

It would be best if this local person was recruited to take the lead in managing the state's soldiers and horses.

Therefore, he took his followers and crossed the river to Luoyang.

When Liu Bei's old friend was crossing the river by boat, Zhang Cheng, who was far away in Xianglin, had already made a military plan to capture Funan.

Fan Li spent all his wealth and racked his brains, and finally recruited a thousand people.

The condition he offered was that all those who joined the army would be given [-] mu of land, a young female slave, and a strong slave.

Of course, these benefits must be realized after defeating Funan.

His way of doing so is more attractive than Zhang Cheng's abolition of slavery, especially since most of the slaves who have turned into civilians have never tasted women.

Therefore, some young and strong generals directly sold the ten acres of Entian they had obtained, and joined Fan Li's command with money.

The Gao family, who was determined to win the title of Governor of Funan, spared no expense in recruiting two thousand slaves to be converted into civilians, and they were trained by Gao Zhen and Gao'an.

According to the investigation of the local people, the population of Funan is several million. The current king is Fan Shiman, who has tens of thousands of troops and is good at fighting in the jungle. The national strength of Funan is generally good.

Relying on only 3000 people, it is quite difficult to conquer Funan, which has a vast territory.

As a result, the offensive plan was delayed again and again, and the Fan family and Gao family were anxious to get angry, and they were almost on the verge of pulling strong men.

Zhang Cheng laughed when he heard the report.

When a new batch of personnel and supplies arrived from Kuaiji, Zhang Cheng ordered the Jin Yiwei to carry out a secret operation.

On the fifth day of October, an unexpected incident filled the entire Xianglin army and people with righteous indignation.

The Funan army crossed the border, plundered wantonly, drove out the people, and burned a large number of houses and crops.

Anger turned into hatred, and the people of Xianglin suddenly heard that Fan Jiagao's family recruited a large number of revenge troops, and many young and strong volunteered.

"It's Xianglin's son, join us, defeat the Funan people, and capture Fan Shiman alive! Avenge the death of our compatriots!"

The propaganda slogan spread throughout Xianglin in the blink of an eye. In less than three days, Fan Li had recruited 3000 people, and the Gao family had also recruited 5000 people. Both families demanded to attack Funan.

Zhang Cheng, the mastermind behind the scenes, took advantage of the situation and approved the military plan to conquer Funan.

In order to suppress the formation, Zhang Cheng specially dispatched 300 troops and five artillery pieces, with Ji Ling as the commander of the whole army, and went straight from east to west to Gutluo, the King City of Funan.

At the same time, Gan Ning and Abbe were ordered to form a task force to seize Funan's largest port, Aojiao Port. This port is located on the east bank of the Mekong River estuary, and it can reach Guteluo upstream.

On the eighth day of October, the land and water armies set off at the same time, and Funan, a country with a vast land and abundant resources, suddenly fell into a state of war filled with gunpowder and smoke.

Gu Teluo's Fan Shiman received an urgent report, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

Little Xianglin, is he full enough to beat me?

why?
But in any case, countering the aggression is a must.

Fan Shiman, a military general who established himself as king, originally had the idea of ​​expansion, but now he was provoked, so he simply took the opportunity to fight back and attack Xianglin.

So the King of Funan personally led his army to fight eastward. After three days of marching, he finally bumped into Fan Li's tribe who came in a hurry.

Fan Li is now changing from shotgun to cannon, and his heart is high. Seeing the whole body of Funan soldiers naked, holding stone knives and wooden spears, he immediately laughed.

"I don't even have clothes, trousers and armor. What an uncivilized barbarian! Such a fertile land, where the virtuous live! Kill!"

But this guy seems to have forgotten that not long ago, they seemed to be not much worse than Funan people.

On the opposite side, Fan Shiman found that Xiang Lin's army was quite different from the rumors.

Not only are there a lot of iron armor, but some generals even ride horses!

An ominous premonition haunted my heart. (end of this chapter)
