Chapter 28
At noon on the 17th day of the first lunar month, Jian Yong and his group of more than 50 people rushed to the city of Shouchun. Upon hearing the news, I immediately led Xu Shu, Lin Bao, Lin Xue and others to the city gate to welcome Jian Yong.
"Xianhe, thank you for your hard work. I have worked so far!" Jian Yongzheng was sent by my elder brother at my request to help me manage the government affairs of Shouchun County. These days, although the government affairs in the county have been rectified by Xu Shu in an orderly manner, I do not want to "waste" Xu Shu's talents on government affairs. Xu Shu is best at military strategy, and the ones our army lacks the most is such talents. In contrast, in terms of government affairs, whether it is Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Chen Zhen or Mi Zhu, they are all talents that can be used. Now that Jian Yong comes to Shouchun to preside over government affairs, I can "liberate" Xu Shu and concentrate on planning military strategies.
After rushing for a while, Jian Yong looked exhausted, but he was still in good spirits. After bowing to me, he smiled and said, "Greetings to the Third General! I haven't seen each other recently, and the reputation of the Third General has become even more powerful, which has already made Jian Yong feel as if he is thunderous! Haha..."
"Hahaha... Xianhe, I haven't seen each other for many days, and you will make fun of me when I meet on the first day of the first day. It seems that I will punish you three big cups tonight! Haha..." I said with a loud laugh. Jian Yong is a very funny person, and talking to him will make you feel like you are bathing in the spring breeze. When I was in Runan that day, in my spare time, I often drink wine, tea and talk with Jian Yong, and the relationship between them is very harmonious.
Jian Yong deliberately raised his face and said, "In this way, Jian Yong can only accept the punishment! Hahaha..." After that, he couldn't help laughing.
Suddenly, Jian Yong noticed Xu Shu standing behind me and asked me in surprise: "Three Generals, I wonder who this extraordinary gentleman is? Can you introduce me to me?"
I turned around and called Xu Shu to come forward and introduced them to each other, "Xianhe, this is Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, a famous scholar in Yingchuan. Yuanzhi is a genius in the world. A few days ago, I met Yuanzhi by chance. I tried my best to invite Yuanzhi to serve the eldest brother!" Seeing that I admire Xu Shu so much, Jian Yong did not dare to neglect and bowed first. Xu Shu hurried forward and helped Jian Yong up.
"Yuan Zhi, this gentleman is Jian Yong Jian Xianhe, the governor of Yuzhou. Xianhe and my brother are fellow townsmen. They have read poetry and books since childhood, so they are great talent! You two should get closer in the future!"
"I've seen Jian Zhizhong, Xu Shu is polite!"
"Mr. Xu, don't be polite!"
"Xianhe, Yuanzhi, everyone doesn't have to be so polite. In the future, we will be a family. Let's go back to the mansion first!" I held Jian Yong with one hand and Xu Shu with the other, and walked towards the county magistrate's mansion.

Shouchun County Governor's Office, Conference Hall
After reading the letter written by Jian Yong twice, I gently placed the silk book on the tables in front of me, lowered my head and closed my eyes slightly, and my heart was surging and it was difficult to calm down.
The eldest brother didn't have many letters, just told me that everything was fine with him and his second brother in Runan, and warned me to pay attention to the cold and coldness and take care of my health. The rich brotherly feelings of brotherhood were revealed everywhere between the lines. I suppressed the extremely thrust and excited mood, and asked Jian Yong with a smile: "Xianhe, what did my second brother explain before you leave?"
Jian Yong nodded and said, "General Guan only asked me to bring 14 words to the third general - 'I'm very good, my brother is also very good! Take care! Come back early!'"
It is the second brother's speaking style - he doesn't say much, but his introverted deep feelings are contained!
"Xianhe, how is the situation in Runan when I left these days?"
"Well, everything is fine! These days, the county has gathered a group of refugees, arranged by Gongyou, and divided them with their barren fields and some farm tools. General Guan also recruited some soldiers among the refugees. By the way, the lord's "Seeking for Talents" has achieved a lot of results recently, and for many days, some young scholars have come to serve. This time, the person who came to Shouchun with me was recently resigned."
"Oh..." I heard that there were more and more talents willing to join my elder brother, and I was sincerely happy. After all, the lack of talents has always been an important obstacle to the development of our army. I asked Jian Yong with interest: "Xianhe, please introduce it to me!"
"Yes, the third general!"
Of the 15 people who followed Jian Yong to Shouchun, 9 of them were newly applied after I left Runan. Although it can be seen from their manners that they are all scholars from poor families and are not from aristocratic families, each of them looks very talented. Among them, what attracted my attention was a young scholar at most in his early 20s. This person is elegant and heroic. Although he is young, he shows a calm and capable demeanor. He speaks neither humble nor arrogantly, and is calm and composed.
"Deng Zhi, Xinye, pays homage to General Zhang!"
It turned out to be Deng Zhi!!!
Deng Zhi's courtesy name Bomiao was a new savage from Yiyang. In the original historical trajectory, Deng Zhi was an outstanding military and political talent in the middle and late periods of Shu Han. He was both civil and military strategy, and was good at internal affairs, diplomacy and military management. His early encounters were quite bumpy. In order to avoid the war, he entered Shu from Jingzhou and defected to Liu Zhang, but he was not valued at all. Until Liu Bei entered Sichuan and occupied Shu, Deng Zhi began to show his head. He served as county magistrate, county prefect, court secretary, central military supervisor, general Yangwu, former military advisor, former general, Yizhou governor, Yangwutinghou, and even general Cheqi General. It is no exaggeration to say that Deng Zhi and Jiang Wei were the mainstays of the late Shu Han.
Unexpectedly, the young Deng Zhi would join his elder brother at least 10 years earlier than the original historical trajectory! However, this change could not be better!
After meeting a group of people, I saw that the fatigue in Jian Yong and his group's expression became more and more obvious, so I smiled and said, "Xianhe, you will work hard for a while and go to rest. I will hold another banquet to welcome you tonight! Yuanzhi, arrange for Xianhe to rest with them!"
"Yes, General!" Xu Shu replied with a smile. "Jian Zhizhong, everyone! Please follow me!"
"Thank you, General!" "Thank you, General!" Jian Yong and his party bowed to me and then followed Xu Shu to leave the hall.

On the afternoon of that day, as usual, I went to various battalions in the army to inspect the training of soldiers. As the number of soldiers under my command continued to increase, I could no longer personally participate in the training of soldiers like when I was in the ancient city before, and instead replaced it with a careful inspection once a day. I always firmly believe that as a general, I must know the situation in my army and know myself and the enemy to win every battle. Moreover, doing so can also enhance the connection between the generals in the army and the soldiers under the tent. The generals know the soldiers and the generals, so that the generals and soldiers can be integrated.
After more than 10 days of training, the more than 10,000 soldiers who were captured and surrendered when they were conquering Shouchun City and the counties under the county have already become accustomed to being able to recognize that they are a member of the army of Liu Bei, the uncle of the Han Dynasty. This is a very gratifying phenomenon!
After returning to Junshou Mansion from the military camp, I went straight to the inner courtyard - there was someone I was worried about!
After having a three-life agreement with Xiahou Rong, our relationship can be said to be a long time. For several days, no matter whether it is busy or not, I will take a long time every day to sit there. Whether I talk to her, listen to her playing the piano, or just stare at each other... I am not too abrupt about her! Faced with such a beautiful woman, it is a very hard thing to restrain myself, but I still held back my hopes and did not go beyond the line - she will be my wife in this life, and she will not treat her rashly no matter what. After a while, I will ask my elder brother to take the marriage for us and let her become my Zhang Fei's wife dignified.
When she walked to her door, she saw that the door was slightly open. She pushed the door open and entered the room, and there was no one inside. Where did she go? She has been in Shouchun for a few days now!
At this moment, a tender and crisp laughter came from the back of the yard! I reached the back garden of the yard with a twists and turns and looked at it.
In the eyes, in the garden where the remaining snow has not yet melted, there are about 230 wintersweets blooming proudly. Thousands of plum blossoms are like clouds and snow, and the fragrance fills the garden. Beside the plum blossoms, a woman with white fur stands quietly, her white jade-like crisp hands gently brushing the plum blossoms. A faint smile appears on her jade-like face, which is contrasted by the snow-white plum blossoms. People are more beautiful than flowers, and flowers are less beautiful. This beautiful picture that is as dreamy as a dream, I can't forget this life.
Before I knew it, I was lost, and I didn't know when or when, when or where, just staring at her...
Shuving through the plum blossoms, Jin'er, the maid who was smiling and smiling, found that there was one more person in the garden. She was about to exclaim, and when she saw that it was me, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bent down to salute me: "Go to General Zhang!"
Xiahou Rong turned around and saw the tall figure staring at her affectionately. Her face turned red slightly, but she did not avoid my hot gaze. She smiled shyly at me, opened her cherry lips and made a sound like a heavenly sound: "...you... are here!"
I walked to her side, and couldn't help but hold her slippery and soft jade hand, and said in harmony: "Here is here!"
Although it was the second time I held my jade hand, her delicate body trembled slightly and her face turned red. Everyone could fall for the beautiful appearance of the white and red look. After a moment, the trembling slowly subsided, and she was almost inauspicious: "Jin'er is still here..."
"Haha... that girl has left, and we are only two of us left..." I said with a smile.
"Ah..." Xiahou Rong raised her pretty face, which had not yet dissipated, and looked around for a while. Sure enough, she didn't see the maid. She thought she had left quietly just now, and lowered her head and murmured: "This girl..."
I gently stroked her jade hand and stared at her jade face, which gradually turned red with interest, "How are you doing today?"
After a while, he looked slightly and a hint of sadness flashed in his bright eyes.
I knew it a little and asked softly, "Do you miss your family?"
Yushou slightly dotted, then shook it a few more times. It could be seen that she was very conflicted.
Silly girl! I gently wrapped my arms, wrapped her whole body into my arms, lowered my head and said softly in her ear: "You've been miserable..."
After a while of silence, she slowly leaned her head on my broad chest as if she was tempted, and said nothing for a long time...

On the 18th of the first lunar month, Jian Yong officially took over the government affairs of Shouchun County. The 15 officials who came with him were all applicable. Nine people stayed in Shouchun City to assist Jian Yong, and five were assigned to the county lords in charge of government affairs. Among them, I specially sent Deng Zhi to Hefei, an important town in Shouchun County, to assist Wei Yan in guarding the southern gateway to Shouchun.
Less than an hour after Deng Zhi and others set off for each county in Hefei, a very strong man came to Shouchun City with Wei Yan's letter. Looking up at the majestic and sturdy Shouchun City, a hot splendor flashed in the eyes of the man.
