Chapter 88
Kong Ming was the last to arrive at the welcome banquet, and when he saw Pang Tong, he showed a big smile.

They held hands and recalled the old things, skipping the middle things, just saying that Jingzhou will be settled, and there is a lot to do here.

On the contrary, all the hesitation in Pang Tong's heart disappeared.

He even took the initiative to say: "In Gong'an County, there is the Shuilifang, there are fertile fields and strong cities. I am ashamed of Kong Ming's talent in management."

Kong Ming smiled and did not answer, but raised his glass to drink.

"Shiyuan should cherish this moment. After late autumn, there will be no such leisurely moments."

Pang Tong also toasted to drink silently, wondering in his heart: After the end of autumn... Will there be any big moves on the Lord's side at the end of September or early October?
Pang Tong's arrival relieved Kong Ming a lot of pressure.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are four counties in Jingzhou—now there are five counties.

It's just that it's quite complicated to deal with official duties, but also to be in charge of farming and mulberry, the improvement of Ba Niu crossbow, the blacksmith shop and the water power workshop, etc.

Pang Tong has already taken over the official affairs of the five counties, and Kong Ming concentrates on these tasks that Pang Tong is not good at.

So when Jiang Wan came to deliver reports and official documents, he could always see Military Adviser Zhuge busy at his desk, and Military Adviser Pang dozing on the mat.

This military division Pang is really good at handling government affairs, Jiang Wan thought.

He had seen with his own eyes how Kong Ming could review the official documents that needed to be transcribed by three assistants in one day.

And yesterday, seeing this military division Pang with his own eyes, within half a day, he finished reviewing the official documents that military division Zhuge had accumulated for a day.

Picking up the official document that had already been processed, Jiang Wan looked at the half-asleep Pang Junshi and sighed:

From this point of view, leaving the Shuzuo Gongfang is not a bad thing.

Crouching dragon and phoenix chicks gathered together, fighting against the world with four and a half counties, to ignite the fire of Ji Han, is also a very tempting choice.

……

In Jiangling City, Le's invasion that day seemed like a dream to the people here.

The city was not attacked, there were no broken limbs on the battlefield, no people were displaced, and there was no forced conquest to defend the city.

Only in Xincheng, it is said that there were more than 5000 strong soldiers, all of whom were captured by the two generals of Guanzhang and Zhang in the first battle, and were all arrested to build the city.

In Jiangling City, Guan Yu did not go to train the navy today, but took a book and taught Zhang Fei word by word:
"Third brother, now tell me what it means to undress and push food?"

Although his face was bitter, Zhang Fei also knelt and sat upright, and said honestly:

"Wu She persuaded him to surrender, but the Marquis of Huaiyin refused, so he told Wu She that he would not surrender because of the kindness of his ancestor."

Nodding his head, Guan Yu said: "Those who clothe people with clothes care about others; those who eat people eat things about the dead. It is human nature to know kindness and repay people."

Fu asked again: "Third brother, do you have any kindness to Jian'er?"

"This..." Zhang Fei was stuck. If he had said before that these athletes were lucky enough to follow him, wouldn't it be a kind of gift?

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Seeing his third younger brother's expression, Guan Yu changed his way of asking:
"Third brother, you can also see what the light curtain said, that the seven armies were flooded, was it me who was brave, or the water army who was brave?"

"Naturally, the navy is strong and brave, but the second brother is also far-sighted!"

Guan Yu snorted: "No matter how farsighted the second brother is, he can't make the mountain torrents collapse. If there is no water army, soaking in the water with the soldiers is no different from being banned."

"It should be noted that your victory, third brother, also depends on the bravery of the athletes around you."

"If they abandon you, third brother, do you really think you can defeat ten thousand people?"

That is of course impossible, Zhang Fei knew it in his heart, but he was still slightly dissatisfied:
"Even so, Zhu Zi'an dared to murder the chief general!"

Impatient, Guan Yu slapped the table and said angrily, "Third brother, don't you understand?!"

"The loss of Jiangling in the light curtain is Mi Fang's fault, but I am also responsible for insulting Mi Fang and causing her panic!"

"When your body dies, if you don't show kindness to the athlete, you will be more harsh. If you win bravely, you will endure it. How can you prevent the athlete from having two hearts when the army is in decline?"

"Third brother, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, do you really think that you are always victorious and undefeated?"

"Of course...can't." Zhang Fei bowed his head and admitted, and the light curtain also said that the opening of the battle of Hanzhong was a big defeat by repeating the old tricks, which also led to the death of Wu Lanlei.

"Then go and learn how to take good care of your soldiers!" Guan Yu scolded:
"Gaozu had Marquis Huaiyin, and Emperor Wu had Weihuo. Such a famous general loves soldiers like a son. How can you be an exception, third brother?"

"But...Second brother." Zhang Fei raised his head, his eyes were already red:
"If the second brother is really dead, how can I live alone with the third brother? Jin Lan's words are still in my ears, why do you have the heart to abandon me and the eldest brother and go first!"

"Third brother..." Guan Yu's tone slowed down, and he said seriously: "Since you said before that you want to fight against the alien race and make great achievements in the world."

"Then it is even more necessary to learn from Wei Huo Hanbai, and even from Wen Yuan, who is [-] million and [-], how to treat the generals."

"Only with a master who has fought a hundred battles can he pass on the name of thousands of generations and make meritorious deeds for thousands of generations."

"That's how you can die at the same age as my eldest brother and I."

"Second brother, I listen to you." Zhang Fei rubbed his eyes and agreed.

Late September was obviously a good day to send troops, but the land of Xiangfan was unexpectedly calm.

After Le Jin lost [-] troops, he retracted the defense line in Xiangyang, and at the same time sent out a large number of scouts, intending to thoroughly investigate the situation first.

Jiangling was not in a hurry. Guan Yu and Ma Liang were stationed in Jiangling, building the city while training troops.

Zhang Fei led his headquarters out of Linju, Linju Chang abandoned the city and fled, Zhang Fei guarded Linju.

Huang Zhong recruited strong soldiers and men who were good at archery, stationed in Dangyang, repaired the city, and made scouts with longbows, and at the same time strictly guarded against the situation of war.

Jingyang (Maicheng) had already been captured when Zhou Gongjin was stationed in Jiangling, and later withdrew together. Guan Yu ordered Guan Ping and Wei Yan to lead [-] soldiers and horses, and Zhao Lei entered Jingyang as the governor.

"Jiangling is as powerful as an iron barrel. Without the need for the twin cities of Jiangling, Lejin has nothing to do."

Military division Pang was amazed at the efficiency of Liu Bei's subordinates. Whether they were attacking or setting up an ambush, they were all targeted, and they seemed to have a clear understanding of the surrounding landscape.

Therefore, Pang Tong admired Kong Ming even more.

At the end of September, Zhang Fei, who was in Juju, got an unexpected piece of news.

"You said that Mr. Jian was trapped on the mountain road by bandits?"

A ragged man in front of Zhang Fei nodded and cried:
"Mr. Jian said that he was the envoy of Liu Jiyu from Yizhou, but he didn't expect that bandit to attack violently."

"Master sent me to break out of the siege, and asked me to go to Jiangling to find reinforcements. I passed by here and heard the name of General Zhang, so I came here to ask for help."

"I hope General Zhang will save Mr. Jian!"

"This is what should be done...Fan Jiang, order three hundred soldiers to go out with me to save Mr. Jian."

"Well... Zhang Da, bring all the gold and silver in the treasury, in case the bandits have already captured Mr. Jian, they can be used to redeem him."

Zhang Fei's orders were orderly, and Fan Jiang and Zhang Da still kept him as his own soldiers. In the past few days, he practiced while benevolent, intending to try the way of loving soldiers learned from Wei Huo on the two of them first.

Let these two people die for themselves, and finally die on the battlefield, it is not my own doing, right?Zhang Fei's mind was full of thoughts.

At this time, Jian Yong's attendant added:
"General Zhang, you'd better bring a strong bow. When the villain came over, he saw a nest of white cats. They were very ferocious!"

Zhang Fei stopped his pace with surprise on his face:
"Bai Ru? Do you really mean what you say?"

 The pace shouldn't be too slow, right?A new chapter will be opened in the next chapter, and Yiling will talk more about it.
