Ever since Cao Cao and Pang Shanmin agreed to strike down the war between the two families, the atmosphere in Yuzhou was obviously much less tit-for-tat than before. Moreover, the resumption of trade between Jingxiang and the Central Plains also allowed Liu Bei and Zhao Yun to arrive in Runan without much effort.
Along the way, he passed through the counties and counties under Cao Cao's jurisdiction. Liu Bei also saw the notice in front of the city that Ling Tong mentioned. All the way to the prefect's mansion, Liu Bei sighed. A few years ago, Runan was still very remote. The people were in dire straits. Fortunately, when I returned to my old place a few years later, Runan also had a prosperous atmosphere like Jingxiang.
When Lu Xun learned that Liu Bei had come to vote, he put down his government affairs and greeted him in front of the governor's house. After meeting Liu Bei, although Lu Xun was polite and courteous, Liu Bei could faintly sense that this rising star in Jingxiang did not seem to welcome him very much.
? Could it be that the Jingxiang court has not yet unanimously agreed on his arrival?
After issuing a customs clearance guide for Liu Bei, Lu Xun used the excuse of being busy with official duties and ordered people to guide Liu Bei and Zhao Yun to the post house. He also informed Liu Bei that if he went to Changsha to meet the Tang Hou, Runan would also send soldiers to see him off. To protect him, Liu Bei politely distanced himself after hearing the words. Not to mention that Jingxiang has been peaceful for several years, with few bandits. Even with Zhao Yun by his side, if someone has evil intentions and harms him along the way, he will definitely not get any benefits.
Besides, Liu Bei didn¡¯t want to be surrounded by the eyes of his Pangshan people after entering Jingxiang.
After arriving at the post house, Liu Bei also stayed for a while, discussed with Zhao Yun for a while, and then headed for Jiangxia Ferry while it was still dark. He traveled quickly for a day and arrived at Jiangxia. When they boarded the ship and chatted with passing merchants, they It was known that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both safe and well, and that they were both in Changsha, serving as generals under the tent of the Marquis of Tang.
When Liu Bei heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. Guan, Zhang is here. Liu Bei also felt that if he entered Jiangxia in the future, the two of them should follow him together. In this way, he would have more capital to slowly plan the foundation of Jingxiang in the future. The people of Pangshan were soft-hearted, which was a major disadvantage of his character. Since Liu Bei discovered that Of course he won't let it go.
One day passed and the ship docked. Liu Bei and Zhao Yun were about to get off the boat, but they saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei waiting at the water village. Liu Bei was very excited. After rushing off the boat and meeting the two of them, Liu Bei choked with sobs and said, "If it weren't for Zilong, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to meet the two brothers!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had tears in their eyes, and they felt even more distressed when they saw Liu Bei's face looking very frosty.
Zhao Yun has sent Liu Bei safely, and he wants to go into seclusion again, and is about to say goodbye to the three of them. However, he was pulled away by Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei said to Zhao Yun with excitement: "The Marquis of Tang has prepared a banquet. We are waiting for Zilong to go with his elder brother. Zilong is not afraid of dangers and dangers. He came here to protect his family brother safely. I, Old Zhang, Thank you!"
After saying that, Zhang Fei couldn't help but drag Zhao Yun and walked out of the village.
The four of them got on their horses and galloped all the way. In a short time, they arrived in Changsha.
Along the way, Liu Bei was puzzled. He came all the way from Runan and did not delay along the way. How did the Pangshan people know when he and Zhao Yun arrived, so that Guan and Zhang met each other in the water stronghold?
When they arrived at the prefect's mansion, the people of Pangshan had already prepared a banquet, and the only people accompanying them were Jiang Wan and Gan Ning.
When Liu Bei saw Pang Shanmin again, he felt bitter in his heart, but he had to force a smile and said to Pang Shanmin: "The defeated army, thank you Tang Hou for saving Bei's family and not killing them."
Hearing this, Pang Shanmin only smiled slightly and said to Liu Bei: "In the past, Duke Xuande and Pang had no choice but to fight in the world. Now that Xuande has entered Jingxiang, it is better not to bring up the old things again"
After saying that, Pang Shanmin ordered the waiter to serve the food, but did not disturb Guan Yu. Zhang Fei and Liu Bei brothers reunited and talked about their current situation. Instead, they stared at Zhao Yun with a smile on their faces and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong is very happy now." change?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "No changes have been made. Now the emperor's uncle has settled down in Jingxiang. Yun will set off soon to return to the mountains and forests."
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Liu Bei was shocked. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked at Zhao Yun with surprised faces. Zhao Yun forced a smile to the three of them and sighed softly: "Yun is disheartened and does not want to fight on the battlefield again. "
Zhang Fei became angry when he heard this, and said to Zhao Yun: "What are you talking about? Zilong's skills will not be wasted if he does not make contributions to the battlefield and empty the old mountains and forests!"
Zhao Yun smiled and said nothing, but the pain in his eyes was seen by everyone. Seeing this, Pang Shanmin smiled at Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong has also been to the bamboo forest where Pang lives. If he goes into seclusion, how about Zilong making it easier for me to go into seclusion in Changsha?" "
Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "If we are in Changsha, Tang Hou's envoy will be indispensable"
"This is not bad. Originally, Pang had arrangements for both Xuande and Zilong. Xuande was guarding Jiangxia, but Zilong had another place to go. Pang felt that since Zilong was tired of fighting on the battlefield, it would be better to It would be great to go to Chang'an in the future and work with Meng Qi to help Shi Yuan rebuild the Silk Road! If trade with the countries in the Western Regions can be restored, this will be the same as our great Han Dynasty.??surname, forget it, Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said to Pang Shanmin: "How can the Marquis of Tang know that this 'Silk Road' is beneficial to the Han people?"
"The climate of the countries in the Western Regions is harsh, but the products are very rich, and trade is what Pang is good at. There is no exchange of goods with other countries. Pang has already foreseen countless profits. When these huge benefits are used for people's livelihood, , it is of great benefit to the people." Pang Shanmin said, and smiled at Zhao Yun: "Moreover, those who ruin the trade routes are mostly foreigners. When Zilong uses force, he will not have any other burdens in his heart, so Pang thought that if Zilong When you change your mind, you should go to Chang'an again to show off the power of my great Han Dynasty."
"Big Han?" Zhao Yun sneered when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The Marquis of Tang and the Big Han have nothing to do with each other!"
"The people under Pang's administration are also the people of the Han Dynasty" Pangshan people were not angry when they heard Zhao Yun's words, and politely advised Zhao Yun: "Pang has been thinking about this strategy for a long time, and Zilong must not disappoint Pang." It¡¯s good.¡±
Before Zhao Yun could reply, Pang Shanmin said again: "Furthermore, after Pang first declared Xuande as the governor of Jiangxia, he still wanted to send an envoy to Xudu to declare me in front of the emperor as the 'Five Tiger General' of Jingxiang" , and Zilong is me, Jingxiang, one of the five tigers."
Pang Shanmin¡¯s words couldn¡¯t help but make Zhao Yun stunned. Even Liu Bei and others also had curiosity on their faces. Guan Yu thought for a moment and said to Pang Shanmin: ¡°Who are these ¡®Five Tiger Generals¡¯?¡±
"Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang Having said this, Yun Chang should know who the Five Tigers are!" After Pang Shanmin said this, both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned and were stunned for a long time. There was joy on their faces. color.
Although Liu Bei congratulated the two brothers repeatedly, he secretly cursed Pang Shanren in his heart for trying to win people's hearts. Among the five tigers, three generals were all under Liu Bei's command before. Now it's a good thing. Once such names are spread, outsiders will know that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei , Zhao Yun and the other three are General Jing Xiang.
Zhao Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said to Pang Shanmin: "Zhao has no merit in Jingxiang and has no intention of getting such a high position!"
"Achievements can be accumulated slowly, but the martial arts of several generals are more than enough to earn this title." After Pang Shanmin said this, he looked at Liu Bei and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande thinks that Pang's remarks are reasonable? "
"What Tang Hou said is of course very reasonable." After Liu Bei said this, he smiled happily, but behind the smile, he wanted to draw his sword and stab Pang Shanmin to death in front of the hall.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not doubt that he was there. They fought in the world for several years, but Zhang Fei was not recognized by the court. Guan Yu's "Han Shoutinghou" was also returned to Cao Cao when the seal was sealed and the gold was sealed. Now the people of Pangshan are making a big fanfare. , strengthened their reputations, and they were naturally grateful in their hearts.
??????????? Ma Chao and Huang Zhong are both extremely skilled in martial arts, and they are both among the "Five Tigers". Guan and Zhang are also convinced in their hearts.
Zhang Fei thought for a moment and then said to Pang Shanmin: "What about the arrangements for Xingba? General Dong, who fought with my brother, also has many meritorious deeds for you in Jingxiang. If the two of them don't get the reputation of the 'Five Tigers', I¡¯m afraid there will be many dissenters in your Jingxiang army!¡±
Gan Ning grinned when he heard this and said to Zhang Fei: "Why are Yide worried about this? The mountain people have already told Gan about the 'Five Tigers', and Gan also recognizes your martial arts in his heart. If Gan can beat you, and How can I let you get such a name? Besides, even if you, Zhang Yide, have won the title of 'Five Tigers', you can't dispatch Gan. Gan is the commander-in-chief of the Jingxiang Navy, and you are not on the same page!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei's doubts disappeared and he grinned stupidly. When Guan Yu saw this, he said to Pang Shanmin: "It's just that Tang Hou is so grandiose, so I'm afraid Cao Cao may not agree with Tang Hou's mention of the 'Five Tigers'."
"He dared not agree, so Pang took five generals and set up a ring in Runan, waiting for Cao Cao to fight!" Pang Shanmin said, and said to Guan Yu: "Cao Cao is a hero, not a warrior. This person weighs the pros and cons. The method is also different from everyone else. For you, the title of "Five Tigers" is a great honor, but for me, Jingxiang, it only serves to strengthen my reputation. Cao Cao still owes Pang Mou money and food, and his waist is not straight. It¡¯s time to ask for benefits!¡±
After that, Pang Shanmin looked at Zhao Yun and said to Zhao Yun: "Does Zilong still want to return to the mountains and forests now? In a short time, Zilong will be awarded the title of 'Five Tiger General' by the imperial court. This will bring glory to the ancestors and the old mountains and forests." , what choice will Zilong make?"
"Zilong, Tang Hou kindly invited me, so I accepted his request!" The person who said the words was Guan Yu. Guan Yu didn't want Zhao Yun's talents to go to waste. As Pang Shanmin said before, now the three of them are together in Jingxiang. There is no meritorious service, but such military exploits are easily available to generals. Jingxiang has a lot of advisors, but this army has always been lacking in generals. If the three of them can be put into important use by the people of Pangshan, there will be no difficulty in being awarded honors for their meritorious service.
After Guan Yu said this, the hesitation on Zhao Yun's face dissipated a lot, but Liu Bei was suddenly startled and thought to himself: Could it be that Yun Chang and Yide have already convinced the people of Pangshan? Such asNow that we have entered Jiangxia, how will we plan for the foundation of Jingxiang in the future?
