Chapter 137 Zhuozhou

What is Guan Yu's regret about Jiangling City?

After several years of hard work, it was handed over to others.

The fortified city is unrivaled in the world, and the 30,000 elite soldiers surrendered.

However, Na Lu Meng captured him without any effort and became the governor-general in one fell swoop.

Zhu Ran defeated Cao Wei with his name.

Sun Quan relied on it to reject Cao Pi from the north.

Guan Yu felt a little depressed every time he thought about this.

Therefore, every time he looked east, Guan Yu had some expectations.

Come on, let's see how beautiful Jiangling City is in Guan Yu's hands!

When Guan Yu and Zhao Lei climbed to the top of Jiangling City and were filled with thoughts, Zhao A in the restaurant patted his belly with satisfaction.

Now that I am satisfied, I am also heartbroken.

As expected of lamb, it's delicious, but it's also expensive.

I felt sorry for the copper coins I had spent, and I didn’t think about where to go for a while.

Zhao A simply followed the example of other diners and ordered another cup of tea, then sat down and sipped slowly to pass the time.

This feeling is novel to Zhao A.

His parents died young and he had no mother-in-law. Before Mr. Li came, Zhao A’s favorite thing was to lie on the field ridge and bask in the sun.

What Mr. Li liked most after he came was lying on the field ridge and listening to Mr. Li telling stories.

But it doesn't make much sense to hear it too much. The soldiers of Cao who beheaded to record their merits, the servants who used their power to bully others, and the people who heard about Cao and left were all just those things.

Sitting here now, Zhao A had a feeling for a moment, maybe Li Gong's life was like this, right?

At this time, the owner of the restaurant greeted an old man who came in loudly:

"Uncle Qian, bring your grandson here again!"

Uncle Qian nodded very reservedly: "Ms. Jing went to the water power workshop again and said she wanted to learn some water power looms... so she came over to have a meal."

The owner of the restaurant very familiarly led the grandfather and grandson to their seats and greeted the chef.

The complacency that had just risen in Zhao A's heart sank to the bottom again:

So what if it looks like Mr. Li? After all, they are not as good as other locals.

Even Zhao A had a vague idea in his heart: It would be great if he could become a native of Jiangling.

But most of them can only think about it. Zhao A sees the prosperity of Jiangling.

Although he didn't know much, he thought that housing prices and land prices should be much higher than those in Zigui City.

Uncle Qian's food was served very quickly. While the two of them were eating, Uncle Qian's mouth was not idle:

"Now that you know the words, you should know more. You must not be like your father, who can only be a soldier if you don't know a word, and the monthly salary is only 500!"

"Look at the man named Wu next door. He only knows fifty characters and can become a papermaker's apprentice. Next year..."

Zhao A unknowingly pricked up his ears.

He's also illiterate, so why can't he join the army?

It's just that Zigui still has land... Zhao A shook his head inwardly, should he go back to discuss it with Li Gong?

…

Guan Yu gradually gathered strength in Jiangling, while the anger in Yizhou was gradually increasing.

Zhao Ze was still the governor of Jiangzhou, but by now Zhao Ze had been staying in Langzhong for some time.

Yan Yan had changed back into the military commander he was most familiar with, and was recruited by Liu Bei as his general.

"In the sixth year of Jian'an, Pang Xi had the intention to defeat his rebellious ministers."

Yan Yan, a local, is obviously more familiar with Yizhou than Pang Tong:

"At that time, Pang Xi asked Cheng Yu for soldiers, but Cheng Ji stopped him. Pang Xi had no soldiers, so he had to go to Chengdu to plead guilty to Liu Zhang."

"After Pang Xi pleaded guilty, Liu Zhang changed Ba County to Brazil County."

Liu Bei suddenly heard the name he was interested in: "Cheng Ji?"

Yan Yan didn't know why her lord was interested in Cheng Ji, but she still told the truth:

"Cheng Ji was the chief of the Han Dynasty at that time. Because he said he had accomplished the task of surrendering Pang Xi, he was promoted to the prefect of Jiangyang."

"Jiangyang is two hundred miles upstream of Jiangzhou. Even if you sail against the current, you can get there in two days."

Want to go? Liu Bei was certainly impressed by this name.

One of the fourteen civil servants of Zhaolie Temple.

In the Battle of Yiling, in order to cut off his queen, he and Fu Wei died in Ma'anshan together.

That being the case...of course I want to go!

"I'd like to trouble General Yan to prepare the ship. I want to go to Jiangyang to visit this famous person."

"My Lord, Cheng Ji was promoted by Liu Zhang himself..."

Yan Yan wanted to argue, but Liu Bei waved his hand:

"General Yan only needs to prepare the ships."

Yan Yan left in dismay, feeling that the lord might have to fight to the death for him, a veteran, to save him.

Pang Tong, who was handling official duties at the side, smiled and cupped his hands:

"I sincerely wish my lord to sleep with Cheng Ji in Jiangyang in two days' time."

Liu Bei shook his head and did not take the joke to heart, and just said:

"As for Chengdu, Shi Yuan still needs to put more thought into it."

Pang Tong waved his hand and said relaxedly:

"Lord, just go!"

Pang Tong recently felt that there was no enemy in Shu.

As a dignified Yizhou shepherd, Liu Zhang certainly had no shortage of counselors around him.

But the good thing is that he is Liu Jiyu.

Or, like that Dharma righteousness, it is not taken seriously and is disheartened and just wants to watch on the sidelines.

Or, like Liu Ba, he tried his best to persuade but didn't listen at all.

Pang Xi was even simpler. Zhao Zuo returned to Langzhong and fully supported Pang Xi as the Zhao family in Langzhong.

So Pang Xi was surprised to find: I actually became angry! Langzhong still loves me as the prefect.

Zhao Ze has also officially become the most relied-upon counselor around Pang Xi.

Pang Tong chuckled and put the intelligence materials into categories.

Calculating the time, after the master returns, it will be almost time to return to the police station.

And when Pang Tong comes to Jiangzhou again, he will fight for Chengdu for his lord!

…

At the end of July, Kong Ming was the first to arrive in Gong'an County as usual.

Guan Yu followed closely, after all, Jiangling was indeed close.

The navy and the giant ships were progressing very smoothly, so Kong Ming rarely saw a clear smile on this face.

The two chatted for a while, and then heard Zhang Fei's hurried voice:

"Brother, are you late again!"

"Yide, just wait."

Guan Yu felt that Guan Ping was less troublesome than his third brother.

Then Guan Yu saw Zhang Fei's hands full of things: What are these?

Wiping his sweat, Zhang Fei put down the big pot in his left hand and introduced:

"Plum fried (sour plum soup), candied fruit."

Guan Yu was very pleased.

"Third brother is thoughtful."

Huang Yueying brought a few drawings that were still being studied as usual.

Jian Yong and Mi Zhu came together, just as Ma Liang and Jiang Wan came together.

"General Zhang, Ma Su didn't become a deserter in Linju, did he?"

Ma Liang wanted to ask about his brother's situation, but he finally found a topic to ask.

"It's okay." Zhang Fei was relieved:

"Since you have entered the violent and unkind Zhang Fei's camp, how can you get out so easily?"

Kong Ming also said:

"Linju is located in a remote area, Cao Cao doesn't notice it, and Jiangdong doesn't investigate it."

"Even if people like Ma Mi want to exchange the information of the screen for wealth, it is difficult to escape the clutches of Yide."

Ma Liang and Mi Zhu nodded. They had thought of this relationship before.

After a while, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others also arrived, drinking plum juice and tasting candied fruits. The hall was full of joy for a while.

When Pang Tong and Liu Bei came in, they saw everyone smiling at him.

Zhang Fei said loudly:

"Pang Military Advisor, do you regret not coming back last time?"

Pang Tong didn't answer, but went to kneel down beside the lord.

Zhang Fei continued to speak loudly:

"General Pang, the Never-Sleeping Chang'an last time was also very beautiful!"

Pang Tong felt as if veins were popping out on his forehead.

Fortunately, Liu Bei could not bear to watch it anymore and stopped him:

"Yide, stop making noise."

Zhang Fei smiled and said:

"Brother, this is the black plum that Fenger went into the mountains to find. I learned the method from the people of Linju and made it myself."

Liu Bei's face softened a lot, and he took a sip and said:

"Sour and sweet to cool down, not bad. At the end of July, the hot summer, you should drink this."

Liu Bei talked to Pang Tong about the situation in Yizhou, and Guan Yu also talked about the Jiangdong side's eagerness to move.

This made Liu Bei a little worried:

"In this case, it is better to wait for Yizhou and settle Jiangdong first."

"Why do you need to do this?" Guan Yu shook his head:

"Jingzhou will never be lost. Brother, you must not delay the plan for Yizhou, and waste the painstaking efforts of military advisor Pang."

Liu Bei could only listen to him, and just at this moment, the light curtain in the air unfolded on time.

[Hello everyone, this is Wen Mang.

Today, let's insert an important news: the flood in Zhuozhou. 】

The content on the light curtain is no longer as gorgeous as the thousand-year-old Chengdu and the never-sleeping Chang'an.

This is a city ravaged by floods, and the muddy yellow river water is rushing in the city where people should live and work in peace and contentment.

The people of later generations can only climb to a high place helplessly, and those small boxes that can fly on the road that they have seen before can only float and sink helplessly in the flood.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's faces turned pale. Although it was a thousand years later, for the two of them, these are still their fathers and fellow countrymen.

The ancestors of these people may have drunk and lived with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

"Run!" Guan Yu couldn't help but speak.

Since they were from the same hometown as his brother, they were also from the same hometown as him. Moreover, Guan Yu was born in Hedong, so he could better understand the horror of floods.

[At the end of July, under the combined influence of cold and warm air and Typhoon Dusurui, heavy rainfall occurred in northern Hebei Province.

The average rainfall in Zhuozhou City reached 398 mm, far exceeding the 250 mm standard line of the highest rainfall level of heavy rain.

As a result, the maximum flood peak of the North Juma River was 4,500 cubic meters per second, and the Liuli River and Xiaoqing River also exceeded 3,000 cubic meters per second.

In comparison, the average flow of the Yellow River is 2,500 cubic meters per second. 】

Although he didn't quite understand it, Pang Tong still calculated it directly based on the numbers:

"It is equivalent to directly bearing the impact of three Yellow Rivers!"

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's necks were already stiff, and their eyes couldn't move away from the light curtain.

In everyone's mind, with such a big flood, how could the people...

[But fortunately, just like the great earthquakes and floods we have experienced before.

The government and the People's Liberation Army will always be our most solid backing. ]

The heavy rain on the light curtain has not stopped, but a group of people in green military uniforms have already been thrown into this land ravaged by the flood.

The iron boxes with square heads and square brains like a long dragon, cut through the waves and cut through the disaster!

They did not leave their backs to the flood, but faced the flood and moved forward bravely.

They faced the natural disaster with their tiny bodies, and they have begun to work hard to rescue every citizen in the face of the flood!

Liu Bei was stunned, with disbelief and joy in his eyes.

Zhang Fei was also stunned, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Aren't they afraid of death?"

Guan Yu remembered this name, and remembered the military discipline of this unit that he learned about in the light curtain, and the tenacious will in the war against the United States.

Sighing, "Perhaps, they can always put the people above their own life and death."

Natural disasters are inevitable.

Since it has come, why not avoid it.
