In the middle of winter, Tian Xin returned to Maicheng, and Luo Qiong also led part of the Huya army to retreat from Xiangyang.

In order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, Tian Xin was forced to retreat to Maicheng, and Guan Yu also reduced the army of Jingcheng Daying and increased the defenders of Xiangyang to the north.

In return, less than three days after Tian Xin returned to Maicheng, Jiangdong transported 80,000 stones of rice and beans to Hanjin.

Not only him, but Ma Chao's Yamen army also withdrew to Linfu garrison.

Tian Xin is in Baqiu, Ma Chao is in Jiangling, and he can take a boat down the river to Xiakou at any time, which makes Sun Quan very uncomfortable.

His Wuchang City was still under construction, and he had no advantage in the field battles and sieges of the Jingzhou army, so he had to use grain as a bargaining chip to force Ma Chao and Tian Xin to retreat.

Otherwise, these two people launched an attack without authorization, and the ghost knows if they would directly penetrate the crude defense line of Wuchang and stab Wu County with a spear.

The surrounding area of Maicheng is in ruins, although it is in winter, it is still in full swing.

Fushui and Zhangshui were not frozen, and many Ding Zhuang felled wood in the upper reaches and transported wood and firewood to the vicinity of Maicheng with river water.

At this time last year, many people shrank in their houses and shrugged to keep out the cold, but with the publication of Tian Xin's "Twelve Strategies for Epidemic Prevention and Rescue" and the actual examples of treating the wounded in Maicheng, the people paid special attention to winter heating measures.

The prototype of the clay kang naturally appeared early in Tian Xin's hands, and then spread rapidly everywhere, and it was not a difficult skill to build the clay kang.

With the invention of fire kang and fire wall, the improvement of people's health and quality of life is one thing, and it also increases productivity.

When Luo Qiong returned to Maicheng and found Tian Xin, Tian Xin was visiting the Jingman settlements around Maicheng, and the poorly built wooden houses, earthen houses, and even shacks and grass huts were good if they could block the wind.

Without exception, all of them built earthen kangs, and most of the Jingman men cut down trees in the upper reaches of the river, while the elderly, women, and children stayed behind, sitting on the kang to weave bamboo baskets, hemp ropes, or use hard wood to polish farming tools.

Fushui, Zhangshui two rivers, the largest flow is Zhangshui, although the water is not very deep, but more than three zhang wide, so that Jingshan timber is continuously transported to Maicheng.

Luo Qiong sat on the hot kang and sighed: "The general's merits are in the community!" ”

"People's livelihood is difficult, but what we can do is heard."

There was a small table in front of Tian Xin, and he spread out a roll of bamboo slips to examine the contents: "Boxiong came just in time, during this time, I am tired of such trivial government affairs. ”

From Luo Qiong's point of view, the content of the bamboo slips revolves around two aspects, one is the resistance of the Tuhan people, such as open defecation, drinking river water, etc.; The other is a brawl caused by an argument between a group of people who went out to cut wood.

These things have already been tried by the relevant military officials, and now the trial process and punishment decision will be reported, and after Tian Xin signs here, the relevant punishment will be executed.

Luo Qiong also picked up a roll of bamboo slips and flipped through it for review: "The general's name is the three armies of the Central Plains, and now the three parties are truce, why don't the generals take the opportunity to recruit virtuous and handsome people to enrich the shogunate?" ”

These fragmentary government affairs can be handled by all kinds of gongcao, after all, there is a mature staff system.

Seeing Tian Xin groaning, Luo Qiongjin said: "General, it really shouldn't be delayed so far, it has already aroused criticism." ”

"Ugh."

Tian Xin just sighed, put down the pen, picked up the tea bowl and moved to the fire wall behind him, leaned against the warm fire wall, held the tea bowl in the dantian with both hands, and said in a few tones: "Boxiong, I'm not afraid of doing trivial things, I'm just tired of arguing." Although Fancheng's arrow hit me, it killed the fighter plane that recovered the Central Plains in one fell swoop. ”

This arrow is very important, and Tian Xin suspects that the archer is not just jealous of himself, but most likely a spy from the north.

At that time, the Forbidden Seventh Army surrendered, Pang De's army was destroyed, and the army led by Cao Cao was still in Luoyang.

As long as Wancheng is broken and Cao Ren is captured, the army is like a bamboo to go north, and only Xu Huang's department stationed in Tunwancheng is in front of him.

The empty and defenseless fighter plane in the Central Plains was so missed, this fighter only existed for about ten days, and it expired.

There were no outsiders left and right, so Tian Xin said: "I thought that Dong Hui commanded the Yiduyi barracks, which should be from the Zhijiang Dong family, but later I learned that he was from Xiangyang." I thought that Xi Hong was a child of a poor family like you and me, but I never thought that his family had been hairpins for generations and was a son of a prince. ”

Xiangyang people are almost everywhere, Pang Lin, Liao Hua, Ma Liang, Yang Yi, and Xi Hong are all Xiangyang people.

With a long sigh, Tian Xin drank tea: "I have no prejudice, but I feel quite uncomfortable." It's like a fishing net wrapped around the body, and there are Xiangyang figures everywhere. ”

Luo Qiong was puzzled: "General, Pang Shiheng and others' love is definitely not false. ”

"I know, that's what I'm afraid of. The entanglement of human feelings is like a silk thread, the deeper the entanglement, the more involuntary it is. ”

Tian Xin put down the tea bowl and sat up straight, pulled out the white rainbow sword he was wearing, and wiped it with a handkerchief: "I exchanged swords with General Zuo, and the two do not owe each other, just a gentleman's friend." He's still him, I'm still me. I can obey the law, and I am willing to be bound by the law, but I am not willing to be driven by human feelings. ”

Returning the sword to the sheath, Tian Xin said to the silent Luo Qiong: "I started with Boxiong, and now I am in a high position, so I should be cautious." ”

Luo Qiong straightened his face, sat up straight and arched his hands: "The general's teachings, Qiong dare not forget." I hope that the shogun will enrich the shogunate as soon as possible, otherwise the number of resentful people will increase day by day, and I am afraid that it will not be a good thing. ”

He rushed to the Jingcheng camp with Tian Xin as a soldier of Zhijiang County Cao Zuoshi, and in half a year before and after, he was promoted one after another with military merits.

Soldier Cao Zuoshi, just a small official.

The official rank of Zhijiang County is 600 stones, and a poor scholar like Luo Qiong can only rely on military merits in exchange for promotion space.

With the attack of Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance, after the successive victories in Jiangling and Maicheng, Sima Xihong, who stayed in Micheng to guard the prisoners, was more trusted by Huang Quan and temporarily appointed as the governor of Changsha, temporarily responsible for Changsha's government affairs and military affairs. But Luo Qiong hit his head on the promotion ceiling, and he is still a tiger tooth army.

and when Luo Qiong and Dong Hui served as the left and right army leaders before, they were still pressed by Dong Hui; Dong Hui became the protector of the Southern Army, and Luo Qiong was supplemented as a battalion of soldiers.

It was only after Dong Hui was transferred to Xiahou Lan that Luo Qiong emerged among the remnants of the army and took over the position of protector left by Dong Hui.

Luo Qiong's embarrassment is not only due to his humble background, but also because his military exploits are not recognized, and he is suspected of 'rubbing' his military merits, and he is suspected of his lack of actual ability to lead troops.

The military merits are not recognized, but Xi Hong's military exploits in guarding the prisoners are recognized, and things are so strange.

This is also a very common thing, although everyone has a common ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty.

When you choose a colleague, you will naturally choose a colleague who is closer and easier to trust each other.

Therefore, Xiangyang people like to promote Xiangyang people, and Tian Xin also likes to promote people whose positions are not strong.

I can't imagine that if my boss, colleagues, important staff, subordinates, and even friends are all from Xiangyang, will I also become a Xiangyang person.

Don't be afraid to be a Xiangyang person, Zhuge Liang is a native of Xuzhou, isn't he a leader among the people of Xiangyang?

Can you compare with Zhuge Liang?

Will the people of Xiangyang see themselves as the second Zhuge Liang?

It is impossible, almost all of these Xiangyang people now are Zhuge Liang's classmates, or the children of classmates, who have been impressed by Zhuge Liang since he was a teenager.

Maybe the people of Xiangyang really sincerely want to pull themselves together to recover the Han Dynasty, and they will also give themselves a core position...... But the position of the leader is hardly himself.

Unless you are willing to wait, you will boil the older generation of Xiangyang people to death.

Survive Zhuge Liang, and then boil Ma Jian to death...... may have to survive Jiang Wei.
