Chapter 106 Hometown
Jingzhou, early November.

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

And it wasn't until this time that Dangyang's defenders discovered that their general had quite good archery skills.

In the past, the scouts who faced prying eyes basically used the advantage of city defense to disperse the scouts and it was over.

But their gray-haired General Huang is hale and hearty, able to eat ten catties of rice and meat, and draw a strong bow on horseback.

Every few days he would lead his troops out of the city to raid. If Le Jin's scouts did not escape in time, they would often only reap the fate of being pierced by an arrow.

So although the scouts moved more frequently, the surrounding area of ​​Dangyang City was very calm.

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

The only change is that the price of rice cloth has dropped a bit, and the new general Huang is very friendly.

The scouts didn't dare to invade, which made the city gate guards a little lazy. The two were standing together and chatting:
"Have you heard? It is said that General Zhang has been punished to do hard labor!"

Another soldier beamed with joy:
"Your news is too early. It is said that General Zhang has been deprived of his military power! My lord cut off his robe with him!"

"Oh? Could it be that before my brother was transferred to General Huang's command..."

"It was under that Zhang Fei before!"

"I see."

The broken mouths of the two soldiers did not affect Zhang Fei, who was pushing the cart, sweating profusely.

Of course, he was not sentenced to hard labor, let alone cut off his brother's robe.

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

Zhang Fei went to Liu Bei to transfer a batch because of the lack of food and grass in Linju.

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

Push it, push it, Linju to the police, but only two hundred miles away.

Zhang Fei pushed this wheelbarrow that was said to be the latest made by a military division, and it was full of food, and he set off on his way back from the impoverishment.

On the city wall of Gong'an County in the rear, Kong Ming climbed up and looked at it.

An orderly record with a booklet in hand.

"It seems that this wooden ox still needs to be improved, and Yide pushed it quite hard."

"If the goods are stacked high, it will be unstable. Maybe a bracket should be added?"

Liu Bei's face was still stinky, but he still felt a little distressed looking at Zhang Fei.

"Since the lord is not willing to give up, why don't you just give Yide two nasty horses."

Kong Ming laughed.

"Yide's mouth..." Liu Bei shook his head, simply didn't look at it, and went down the city wall with Kong Ming.

Walking together on the streets of Gong'an County, watching the hawkers hawking along the street, the people's spirits are much better than a year ago, at least many of them can eat enough, Liu Bei is also quite relieved.

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

Returning to Gong'an County with Kong Ming, Liu Bei looked at the man in front of him with a headache.

With a childish face, a bronze complexion, and calluses on his hands, he looks like he is used to living on the water.

"My lord!" The man bowed immediately.

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

This is the trouble that Zhang Fei left behind.

Kong Ming watched with a smile on the side, then asked:
"Gan Gui, you still don't want to go back to Jiangdong?"

The boy named Gan Gui held his head high:
"I want to go back to my hometown with Duke Xuande!"

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

Gan Gui shook her head quickly:
"The little old man told me that you must remember that you are from Linjiang in life. Even if you die, your soul must first return to Linjiang along the river."

Kong Ming patiently persuaded:

"Mr. Xuande is Liu Jingzhou, not Liu Yizhou, so I can't take you back home."

The young man was not convinced again: "You lied to me again, that General Zhang told me that Liu Jingzhou will become Liu Yizhou sooner or later!"

Liu Bei's last bit of guilt towards Zhang Fei also dissipated.

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

"Gan Gui... I remember Yide said that you said you escaped secretly?"

The boy nodded with his head held high, and recalled:

"Zhou Dudu died of illness... the old man cried a lot that night, and drank for several days afterwards."

"The old man said that in Jiangdong, he can only rely on Zhou Dudu to go back to his hometown. Now that Zhou Dudu is gone, the old man and I will become lonely ghosts after death."

"I'm not convinced. The old man told me about the crowds on the river when he was young, so I can do it too...then I was arrested by General Zhang."

Speaking of the last, the man seemed very discouraged.

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

Liu Bei heard about the conflict between Gan Ning and Liu Zhang, and Jian Yong once mentioned it.

When there were conflicts between Jingyi and Yizhou in the early days, Gan Ning and Shen Miloufa were mobilized to rebel against Liu Zhang, and were later defeated by Zhao Wei. Gan Ning began to wander, unable to return home.

It's just that Jian Yong never imagined that he almost died because of this old incident.

"Then why doesn't Gan Xingba subdue Liu Zhang?" Liu Bei suggested:
"Zhao Wei is no longer here...Gan Xingba went to subdue Liu Zhang, and he must be able to go back to be the county magistrate."

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

"The old man refused to obey Liu Yizhou when he was young. Let him do this, and he would rather be a lonely ghost."

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

"My lord, I can also practice navy! I can help General Guan!" Gan Gui's chest thumped.

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

What I got from Lei Xu is not so much the part of the water army, but the part of the water thief.

Mi Zhu has already sent someone to inquire about Jiangdong's naval training method, but there is no result for the time being.

"My lord, I can still call all the old man's [-] relatives!" Gan Gui was full of confidence:
"As long as you can bring us back to our hometown, you are our master!"

Liu Bei held Gan Gui's hands tightly:

"With the help of Gan Gui today, it is still better than a hundred thousand troops!"

Gan Gui also smiled: Just wait, old man, the lord I found will definitely beat your lord, wait for me to take you back to your hometown!
Kong Ming had already quietly left, and he already knew the follow-up development well.

The turmoil caused by Zhou Yu's death is destined to have a far-reaching impact, and Gan Ning's disappointment is only one corner of it.

Kong Ming recalled that when he met Lu Su before, he accidentally mentioned that both Lu Meng and Gan Ning had a violent temper and were not easy to deal with.

Gan Ning focused on attacking Yizhou, and he held the same position as Zhou Yu, so he was reused, so he was able to fight against Sun Quan's confidant Lu Meng.

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

Now that Gan Gui accidentally voted for the protagonist, even if Gan Ning knew about it, she would only acquiesce, but I don't know what happened to Gan Gui in the original history?

Shaking his head to shake off these thoughts, Kong Ming smelled the smell of medicinal herbs as soon as he entered the small yard next to him.

With a big smile on his face, Kong Ming shouted:
"Master Zhang, how is the herbal powder that was agreed earlier?"

 I don't know why the set timing failed, I'm really sorry.
