Jingzhou, early November.

As the dry season gradually approached, Le Jin's scouts became more bold and frequently explored south.

It was only then that the defenders of Dangyang discovered that their general also had quite good archery skills.

In the past, when faced with spying scouts, we basically relied on city defense to disperse the scouts.

But their gray-haired General Huang was hale and hearty, could make rice for ten pounds of meat, and wield a strong bow on horseback.

He would lead his troops out of the city every few days to conduct a sweep. If Lejin's scouts did not escape in time, they would often end up with the fate of being stabbed through the heart by an arrow.

So although the scouts are moving more frequently, the area around Dangyang City is actually very peaceful.

For the people of Dangyang, life has not changed much, except for the nightmarish army crossing the border a few months ago.

The only changes are that the prices of rice cloth and other items have dropped a bit, and the new general Huang speaks very kindly.

The scouts did not dare to intrude, so the gatekeepers were a little tired. The two were standing together chatting:

"Did you hear that? It is said that General Zhang was punished with hard labor!"

Another soldier beamed:

"Your news is too early. It is said that General Zhang has been deprived of his military power! My lord has cut off his robes from him!"

"Oh? Before my brother was transferred to General Huang, could it be that..."

"I was under Zhang Fei's command before!"

"I see."

The quarrel between the two soldiers did not affect Zhang Fei who was sweating profusely while pushing the cart.

Of course, he was not punished with hard labor, and he did not cut off his robes from his brother.

After the light curtain ended, Guan Yu, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun and others returned to their respective stations that day.

Zhang Fei, on the other hand, went to Liu Bei to allocate a batch because Linju was short of food and grass.

The allocation of grain and grass went smoothly, but after loading the cart, Liu Bei told Zhang Fei that there were not enough horses, and Zhang Fei had to push a cart of grain and grass back to Linju by himself.

Just push it, it's only two hundred miles away from the police station.

Zhang Fei pushed this wheelbarrow, which was said to be the latest made by the military adviser, and filled it with food, and embarked on his way home from Ju.

On the city wall of Gong'an County in the rear, Kong Ming climbed up to take a look.

Holding a booklet in hand to record things in an orderly manner.

"It seems that this wooden cow still needs improvement. Yide is actually having a hard time pushing it."

"It will become unstable if the goods are piled high. Maybe a bracket should be added?"

Liu Bei's expression on the side was still stinky, but he still felt a little distressed when he looked at Zhang Fei.

"Since my lord is reluctant to give up, I might as well give Yide two more horses."

Kong Ming smiled.

"Yide's mouth..." Liu Bei shook his head, simply refused to look, and went down the city wall with Kong Ming.

We walked together on the streets of Gong'an County and watched the vendors selling goods along the street. The people were in much better spirits than a year ago. At least many of them had enough to eat. Liu Bei was also quite pleased.

Although Zhang Fei returned to Linju, he caused Liu Bei a problem.

Returning to the Public Security County Office with Kong Ming, Liu Bei looked at the man in front of him with a headache.

He has a childish look on his face, his skin is bronze, and his hands are covered with thick calluses. He looks like he is used to living on the water.

"Lord!" The man bowed immediately.

Liu Bei quickly waved his hand: "I am not your lord."

This was the trouble Zhang Fei was thrown into.

Kong Ming looked on with a smile and asked at this time:

"Gan Gui, you still don't want to go back to Jiangdong?"

The young man named Gan Gui held his head high:

"I want to follow Duke Xuande back to my hometown!"

"Isn't your hometown in Jiangdong? You have already said that you are the son of Gan Xingba, and Gan Xingba is a fierce general in Jiangdong."

Gan Gui shook her head quickly:

"Tell me, little old man, you must remember that you are from Linjiang when you are alive. Even if you die, your soul will first return to Linjiang along the river."

Kong Ming patiently persuaded:

"Xuan Degong is from Liu Jingzhou, not Liu Yizhou. I can't take you back to your hometown."

The young man was unconvinced: "You lied to me again. General Zhang told me that Liu Jingzhou will become Liu Yizhou sooner or later!"

The last bit of guilt Liu Bei felt towards Zhang Fei disappeared.

Pointing to the floor under the foyer, Liu Bei simply sat on the floor:

"Gan Gui... I remember Yide said, you said you ran away secretly?"

The young man nodded with his head held high and recalled:

"Captain Zhou died of illness... The old man cried a lot that night and drank for several days."

"The old man said that in Jiangdong, we can only rely on Governor Zhou to return to his hometown. Now that Governor Zhou is gone, the old man and I will become lonely ghosts after our death."

"I'm not convinced. The old man once told me about the roaring crowd on the river when he was young, so I can do it... and then he was captured by General Zhang."

At the end of the conversation, the man seemed very discouraged.

Liu Bei nodded: "So Xianhe said that he is from Liu Yizhou, but you didn't stop."

The conflict between Gan Ning and Liu Zhang was mentioned by Liu Bei from Jian Yong.

When there was a conflict between the two prefectures of Jing and Yi in the early days, Gan Ning, Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others were incited to rebel against Liu Zhang, but were later defeated by Zhao Wei. Gan Ning began to wander and could not return home.

It's just that it's hard for Jian Yong to imagine that he almost died because of this old incident.

"Then why don't Gan Xingba go and convince Liu Zhang?" Liu Bei suggested:

"Zhao Wei is no longer here...Gan Xingba went to convince Liu Zhang, and he will definitely be able to go back and become the county magistrate."

Gan Gui opened her eyes wide, then shook her head and shouted:

"Old man, he is dissatisfied with Liu Yizhou when he is young. If he is allowed to do this, he will definitely become a lonely ghost."

Liu Bei stared at Gan Gui, with various thoughts spinning in his head and hesitating.

"Lord, I can also train as a navy master! I can help General Guan!" Gan Gui's chest thumped loudly.

Yide said too much... Liu Bei felt that he was shaken by three points. The second brother had said before that the naval training was not going well.

What I got from Lei Xu was more like a water thief tribe than a water army tribe.

Mi Zhu, the naval officer in Jiangdong, has sent people to inquire about the method of naval training, but there is no result for the time being.

"Lord, I can also call all the old man's eight hundred relatives over!" Gan Gui said with confidence:

"As long as you can take us back to our hometown, you will be our lord!"

Liu Bei held Gan Gui's hands tightly:

"With the help of sweet roses now, I can defeat an army of 100,000 people!"

Gan Gui also smiled: Old man, just wait, the lord I have found will definitely beat your lord, just wait to be taken back to your hometown by me!

Kong Ming had already quietly left, already knowing the follow-up development.

The turmoil caused by Zhou Yu's death is destined to have far-reaching consequences, and Gan Ning's frustration is only a part of it.

Kong Ming recalled that when he met Lu Su before, he accidentally mentioned that both Lu Meng and Gan Ning had bad tempers and were quite difficult to deal with.

Gan Ning devoted himself to conquering Yizhou and had the same views as Zhou Yu. Therefore, he was highly used and was able to fight against Sun Quan's crony Lu Meng.

But now that Zhou Yu is dead, Gan Ning has become a rootless duckweed. Gan Ning should have seen these things more clearly.

Now that Gan Gui accidentally voted for his lord, even if Gan Ning knew it, he would only acquiesce, but he didn't know what the original ending of Gan Gui was in the history books?

Shaking his head to get rid of these thoughts, Kong Ming smelled the scent of herbs as soon as he entered the small yard next to him.

With a big smile on his face, Kong Ming shouted:

"Doctor Zhang, how's the preparation of the herbal powder we agreed on earlier?"

I don’t know why the timer I set failed. I’m really sorry.
