After a brief meeting with Zhao Yun, Tian Xin and Guan Ji took a boat north and headed straight for Xiangyang.

Guan Yu and his wife went out to inspect and escape the summer, and Li Yan, the only acquaintance ...... You don't need to be too intimate.

Boats sail on the Han River, which looks like the dry season in winter in June, and you can see the rocky beaches on both sides of the riverbank.

Tian Xin sat on the bow of the boat, the scenery on both sides of the strait gradually reared, holding the bamboo slip in his hand and couldn't help but wander, remembering the scene of the Northern Expedition from Rong the year before last.

It seemed that Tian Ji and Wang Zhi were following on both sides of him, and when he looked back, he saw Guan Ji standing on the side with an umbrella and looking at the surrounding scenery.

"Ugh."

Sighing lightly, Tian Xin lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, which was a roster that recorded the establishment of the guard army after the preparation.

This compilation roster also needs to be assessed and reorganized by Zhao Yun, and in general, nearly half of the battalion governors and military commanders can be retained; The more people who can stay at the first level of 100 people.

He gave 20 battalions in Beifu, 5 battalions in Xiahoulan, and then 9 battalions in the three armies by Guan Yu, counting the 8 battalions of Jingxiang County soldiers, and there will be 42 battalions after the formation of the guards.

Zhao Yun could not be a general of Wei for the rest of his life, and after Zhao Yun stepped down, if the general Wei who took over could not stand firmly, the Wei army would naturally be inclined to himself.

Guan Ji saw him come back to his senses and asked, "I heard that when my husband met Uncle Zilong, the atmosphere was deadlocked?" ”

"It's not a stalemate, it's just that General Zilong and I are really the same kind of people, and I don't want to laugh for no reason."

Tian Xin rolled up the bamboo slips and bundled them, put them in a silk bag, paused and looked at Guan Ji's eyes and said, "Except for being happy and happy, I really don't want to laugh the rest of the time." Show a smile and show favor to others, and there will be a plan. ”

A smile is a disguise and a weapon to protect yourself and capture your enemies.

For example, Guan Ji's smile, except for the innocent smile when playing, the rest of the smiles have a purpose...... Maybe when you think of your child occasionally, you can also show a charming, pure smile.

Tian Xin felt quite comfortable, turned around and sat down with his back against the guardrail, feeling the bumpy thrust of the bow of the ship on his back, and closed his eyes to enjoy the sun falling on his face.

You don't need to smile at people...... In fact, it is a kind of power, but also a kind of enjoyment, which can calm one's soul.

Just like Guan Yu, if he doesn't want to laugh, no one can force him to smile; Liu Bei is too, not moody, nor pretending to be solemn...... It's really no need to laugh, and there's no need to pretend to be angry or indulge in anger to intimidate people.

Tian Xin's words, Guan Ji listened thoughtfully, and felt that there was some truth.

Before the Battle of Xiangfan, she saw some people out of etiquette, who would give courtesy and laugh, and had shown their closeness and friendliness; Now no one can make her smile and laugh a few times when the topic is speculated.

In this world, there is no one who needs her to arm and protect herself with a smile.

The ship went to Feihu Mountain, and Xiahou was still in retreat.

Tian Xin led several people to visit, riding Mondo to the depths of the mountain, it can be seen that a simple camp was opened in the south of the mountain, where nearly 1,000 parts of Xiahou Shang were cultivated and reliant.

There are two clothed mounds halfway up the mountain, one is Xiahou Shang's own; The other one belonged to his wife Cao.

After the news of his death reached Luoyang, the Cao family could not withstand the attack of internal and external public opinion and killed himself.

When Tian Xin passed by, he jumped off Mondo and climbed the mountain on foot, leaving Li Heng here to herd his horses, and the rest of the people walked away with him.

Although it is a well-dressed mound, the basic respect must be there, not to respect the Cao family and the Xiahou family, but to respect life and death.

Xiahou Xuan, who guarded filial piety for his mother, had a thin face, and when he saw Tian Xin and the four of them climbing the mountain on foot, he only sighed and lowered his head to continue to study the classics.

After passing the mound of clothes, there was a mile around the mountain beam, and finally saw the wooden house where Xiahou was still living in seclusion.

Although the wooden house is simple, it is built on the near side of the small slope mountain pass, there is a clear spring at the mountain pass, under the spring is a water pool that is excavated and built with stones and sand stones, the pool water is two or three zhang wide, two girls whose bodies have just grown up are washing clothes on the side, both have black hair hanging down on the shoulders, tie a filial piety belt on the forehead, and wear plain muslin clothes.

Sensing their arrival, Xiahou Shang and his daughters took refuge in the wooden house on the other side, which was hedged and tethered to two lively yellow dogs.

Xiahou Shang came to Yingtian Xin in person, it may be that Cao's suicide made him feel a lot, he was depressed, and his eyebrows were not raised: "Chen Gong is here for Guanzhong?" ”

"Exactly, and for the fulfillment of promises."

Under the eaves of the wooden house, Tian Xin sat down sideways, took out a silk book and handed it out with both hands: "This Lingling Baiyun Tea House cedes the warrant, and the Duke of Boren sends someone to go with this warrant to take over this tea house." The old people in Zhuangzhong will move away with me after next autumn, and there will be more than a year before and after, which is enough to learn the art of tea making. ”

"Chen Gong is righteous, this thing is deserved."

Xiahou Shang took it and scrutinized it carefully, but still pushed it to Tian Xin, and said in a low tone: "I turned my back on Cao Pi, not greedy for life and afraid of death, and admired money and goods, but I was really angry, and I just intended to relax." Today's revenge has not been avenged, first the husband and wife turned against each other, and now the father and son are separated...... I felt a lot of guilt in my heart, and I didn't dare to accept the tea house. ”

Saying that, he reluctantly smiled, his smile was hesitant, and his eyes were confused: "Maybe it was because I was too arrogant and unsympathetic back then, which made my wife and concubine discordant, so that I became the laughing stock of other countries, and even made my family and country ruined, and it was difficult for relatives and friends to die well." ”

Tian Xin couldn't help but be silent, thinking of Guan Ji, thinking of Pang Feiyan, and then looking at Xiahou Shang, who was lost in front of him, he just let out a long sigh to express his regret.

Xiahou Shang restrained his emotions, and then took out a silk letter and handed it out with both hands and said: "Chen Gongke can send someone to hold this letter, and my brother will raise troops to respond." ”

It's a deal, after all.

Tian Xin caught it with both hands and folded the silk book of the Baiyun Tea House in front of him: "The tea house needs to be given to Boren Gong, Boren Gong does not think about his own family, and should also make long-term plans for the more than 1,000 loyal people under the mountain." ”

The tribes under the mountain gather but do not disperse, in addition to feelings, but also see the future development potential of Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Xuan's father and son.

Focus on the future, and you can naturally wronged yourself to suffer a little in the present.

But these nearly 1,000 tribes, since they came to the territory of the Han army, had the obligation to obey the conscription arrangement, pay taxes, and land rent.

Seeing that Xiahou Shang was also hesitating to accept and refuse, Tian Xin got up and said goodbye: "When I return, I will send a batch of Danyang farm tools to Boren Gong." In addition, Hu Cao of Beifu will also send people to accompany him to search for the home of Qu Jian'er of the Boren Gong Department. ”

In this regard, Xiahou Shang breathed a long sigh of relief and thanked him: "Chen Gong is benevolent." ”

Among the people who came with him, about two-thirds of them came to find relatives, some of them were captured by the Han army, and some of them migrated to Jingzhou during the Han army's Northern Expedition.

Solving most of the family-seeking problems also alleviated his guilt.

People live in the world, not only for themselves, but also for their families and relatives.

The Wei army controlled the officials in the same way as controlling their families, and if the family members all ran away to the Han army...... The army will surely abscond and disperse.

Tian Xin didn't say much, the loser has no human rights, this principle has been true since ancient times.

There is no need to care too much about Xiahou Shang, what he needs more is purity, and there is dignity in purity; The more you manage, the more you trample on Xiahou Shang's dignity.

There is no place for Xiahou Shang in the Han army, and in fact, there is no place for Xiahou Ru.

But with Zhang Fei's relationship, the Xiahou clan will also play a lot of positive roles in the future war, and the credit should be left, and there is no need to do it.

Tian Xin left, and after Pang Hong and Deng Ai put down the gifts they brought, they followed each other.

Deng Ai was at the end, and couldn't help but look back at the ultimate boss of his former boss's boss.

There Xiahou was still hanging his head, his straight shoulders and back, his backbone could no longer be straight, and he was slightly rickety, and the ears of rice that were about to be harvested were tilted and looked heavy.

The inexplicable Deng Ai also sighed, did not speak, and walked briskly, following behind Pang Hong, without saying a word.
