Qin Fei walked out of Xiangyang Palace a little dejected.
He didn't understand why Liu Bei, as the emperor of the Han people, favored Yousi people everywhere.

He was unwilling to take a closer look at the complaints from the people he provided, and he did not send an envoy to investigate.
Instead, they directly focused on the overall situation and characterized the matter as the people's own poor management, which led to the loss of land.

And it sets the tone for things like this in the future,

As long as Yousi people do not violate any laws or regulations, you are not allowed to deliberately target Yousi people.

Qin Fei came to Xiangyang this time with the purpose of petitioning for the people.

Unexpectedly, not only did the petition fail, but the future prospects of the people of Yazhou were ruined.

Tan Fei led a few guards out of the city with a heavy heart. Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats from behind.

Looking back, I saw a horse galloping towards me. The man on the horse was tall, with phoenix eyes and a long beard.

The visitor called out, "Prefect Qin, please stay here. I have something to ask about Guan."

It turns out that the visitor is Guan Yu, the emperor's sworn brother.

Qin Fei quickly dismounted and paid homage: "I'm here to pay my respects to General Guan."

Guan Yu looked a little worried and said to Tan Fei:
"Prefect Qin doesn't need to be polite. When I led the army to regain Yazhou, Prefect Qin helped me. Today, after hearing what Grandmaster Qin asked me to do, I have some doubts in my heart, so I came here to ask more about it."

Qin Fei quickly looked around and saw a wooden pavilion in front of him, so he said, "General, please come to the pavilion to talk."

When the two came to the pavilion, Qin Fei immediately took out all the case information he had with him and summarized the thousands of land loss cases that occurred in Yazhou and told them to Guan Yu.

"General Guan, tell me, the land loss cases that have occurred in Yazhou in the past five years are not as large as those in the past year, and all the lost land was eventually transferred to the hands of Yousi people in various forms. If it weren't for Yousi people, There is an organized and premeditated plot to seize land, and I, Qin Fei, will rip off his head and use it as a chamber pot."

When Qin Fei got angry, his saliva flew everywhere. He was both angry and helpless.
"It's a pity that Your Majesty has been blinded by the Yousi people in the capital and cannot see the suffering of the people of Yazhou."

At this point, seeing Guan Yu's serious expression, he quickly saluted and said,

"I made a mistake and spoke nonsense about Your Majesty. I hope the general will not care about it."

Guan Yu remained silent and read the complaint file in front of him repeatedly. Then he looked at Tan Fei and said,
"Prefect Qin, can you guarantee that the land loss cases described in these complaints are all truthful? Are there any common people who are committing fraud?"

"General, Qin Fei is willing to pledge his head as a guarantee. Every case of land loss here has actually happened. All the land lost has been owned by the Yousi people."

"As for how many land-losing cases are still occurring, although it is not possible to count, it will definitely be no less."

Qin Fei sighed sadly: "General, if this continues, Yazhou may really become the Yazhou of Yousi people."

Guan Yufeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were cold, he picked up all the files and said to Tan Fei,

"Prefect Qin, I will leave this matter to Guan. If you can trust me, give me these files. At the same time, you quickly return to Yazhou and do everything you can to prevent more people from being raped by Yousi." cheat."

"After all, you are the governor of Yazhou. If necessary, you can use the power of the governor to beat the Yousi people in Yazhou."

When Qin Fei heard Guan Yu's words, his face lit up with joy and he cheered up again.
"I would like to obey the order of General Guan, and I hope that the general will find a way for the people of Yazhou to survive."

Guan Yu said goodbye to Qin and flew back to Xiangyang. Halfway there, he suddenly frowned and seemed to remember something.

Guan Yu suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped towards the place where Tan Fei and his party left.

However, before he could catch up with Qin Fei, Guan Yu saw two corpses lying on the roadside. Judging from their attire, they were Qin Fei's bodyguards.

Oops!

Guan Yu secretly thought that he should have thought long ago that Qin Fei targeted Yousi Ren in front of the palace. With Yousi Ren's vengeful character and unscrupulous way of doing things, he would probably attack Tan Fei.

Guan Yu urged his horses to rush forward quickly.

Along the way, they discovered the bodies of several more of Tan Fei's guards, and an ominous premonition came to mind.

These Yousi people are really efficient in their work. Guan Yu chased Qin Fei out of Xiangyang. Not long after they parted, the Yousi people's killers had already caught up with Tan Fei.

Guan Yu desperately urged his horse to move forward, but in the end he was still a step too slow.

Not far ahead, Tan Fei's body was planted under the horse, with more than a dozen crossbow arrows stuck on his back.
A pair of eyes looked ahead unwillingly, refusing to close their eyes.

There was no trace of the killer around.

"These people really deserve to die!"

Guan Yu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he punched the ground with his fist, making a crater.

In the Xiangyang Palace, Liu Bei was discussing something with Bishop Yousi in the side hall.

Guan Yu barged in without saying a word and said angrily to Liu Bei,
"Brother, did you know? Prefect Qin is dead."

Liu Bei asked in confusion: "Which Prefect Qin?"

"Prefect Qin Feiqin, who was in the palace today to file a complaint for the landless people of Yazhou, was killed on the way back as soon as he left the imperial city. Can't brother see the strangeness of this matter?"

Liu Bei looked a little ugly and turned to look at the bishop.
"Does sir know about this?"

The bishop shook his head lightly,
"Your Majesty, I have been with Your Majesty since the morning of the court today. After the court, we will also discuss military plans here. Your Majesty will not suspect that I instigated this matter, right?"

Liu Bei asked Guan Yu, "Chang Yun, can you tell who killed Prefect Tan?"

Guan Yu pointed at Bishop Yousi, "If I could see the person, I would definitely bring the murderer to my eldest brother. How can I allow this guy to quibble here?"

Bishop Yousi looked at Guan Yu without changing his expression.

"General Guan, Dahan is a place where laws are respected. Although we Yousi people have been taken in by His Majesty and have a place to stay in Dahan, we also abide by our duties at all times. We will not do anything illegal. General Guan has no one." There is no evidence, and there is no physical evidence. If you want to blame Governor Qin’s death on us Yousi people, I naturally don’t dare to admit it.”

Guan Yu sneered, "I have learned a lot from you Yousi people about your eloquence and sophistry. But during the day, Grand Administrator Qin was still complaining in front of the palace about the Yousi people's occupation of people's land. In the afternoon, he was killed in the capital. Besides, besides you Yousi people, who else has this motive?"

After saying that, Guan Yu turned to Liu Bei and said sincerely: "Brother, you want to recruit Yousi people to help you. I have no objection, but I can't give them privileges and let them oppress the Han people in the land of the Han Dynasty."

"General Guan!" Bishop Yousi also stood up and shouted to Guan Yu, "We Yousi people serve His Majesty loyally, even at the expense of summoning tribesmen scattered all over the world to join the battle, but in exchange for your execution without any evidence, Is it the responsibility of your heart?" "Your Majesty, your Majesty knows best whether our Yousi clan is worthy of your trust. If your Majesty feels that we are not trustworthy, then I will immediately stop summoning the clansmen, and we will withdraw from the big men and continue wandering. That’s it.”

When Liu Bei heard that the bishop said that he wanted to withdraw the big men, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Standing in a dilemma between the two of them, after a pause, he still persuaded Bishop Yousi,

"Sir, don't be impatient. My second brother's temper is like this. You can go down first. I'll talk to my second brother first."

Bishop Yousi nodded and exited the side hall.

Guan Yu was still angry, squinting his eyes slightly and holding his neck without speaking.

Liu Bei sighed softly and stretched out his hand to straighten Guan Yu's sleeves.
"Yun Chang, you and Yide know best how eldest brother has come from adversity to his current position step by step. Big brother has suffered enough."

"But right now, it is far from the time when we can live in peace, let alone civil strife at this time. Liu Xuan proclaimed himself emperor in Jianye, and most of the world's territory is in his hands. We are still at a disadvantage and have to resist Liu Xuan's attack , Big brother needs the bravery of your brothers, and also needs the resources of the Yousi people."

Guan Yu argued: "Having said that, what the Yousi people did in Yazhou was clearly for their own selfish interests, regardless of the overall situation. If the elder brother indulges them in this way, I don't know how much trouble there will be in the future."

"It's just a Yazhou County and a Jiaozhi County. Since my eldest brother has promised to let the Yousi people settle down, as long as they abide by the law, we have no reason to attack them."

"I have also read the file that Grand Administrator Qin handed over today. You also know best about the murder of Grand Administrator Qin. In the final analysis, it is all unsubstantiated. At this juncture, I really don't want to provoke civil strife."

Guan Yu said anxiously: "If there is no evidence, then go and investigate. There are so many bizarre cases of land loss, and I don't believe that there is no evidence at all."

"So what if we find out?" Liu Bei's attitude was a little colder, "Yun Chang, our top priority is to resist Liu Xuan's attack. Liu Xuan's 30-strong army has approached Jingzhou, but we are here to doubt our allies. If Yousi Man is really If the Han people evacuate collectively, what can Big Brother do to resist Liu Xuan’s 30 troops?”

"Hmph, it's only an army of 30 people. I will lead the Ji Han soldiers to meet the enemy. Even if I return my body wrapped in horse leather, it is better than having to compromise with these foreigners."

"Yun Chang." Liu Bei shouted helplessly, "Why are you still so impulsive? It's hard for a big brother to be caught in the middle. You are my brother, can't you be considerate of me?"

"Wars will always kill people, not to mention the landless people in Yazhou will not die. Now Yousi people are very important to big brother, do you know?"

"How important is it?" Guan Yu asked.

"Do you know how many more soldiers Bishop Yousi can give us?"

Guan Yu remained silent, waiting for Liu Bei's answer.

Liu Bei stretched out his palm and said, "At least 50 soldiers."

"How could there be so many?"

"All the Yousi people join the army, and even women can go into battle to kill the enemy."

Liu Bei said with some excitement, "Now there are more than 30 Yousi people gathered in Jiaozhi and Yazhou, and there are nearly 20 warriors among them. As long as they can sincerely help me fight against Liu Xuan, it is not certain who will win in the world." "

Guan Yu shook his head and sighed, "Brother, you have been carried away by the words of Yousi Man. No matter how much I tell him about the dangers of Gossamer, he will not believe it."

"But I, Guan Yu, would rather die than join the Yousi people. Just the day before yesterday, military news came from Yangping Pass in Hanzhong. The Qiang and Hu people gathered at Yangping Pass and prepared to attack Hanzhong. If my brother allows me, I will lead the troops to garrison at Yangping Pass. Bar."

Liu Bei became a little anxious when he heard this. He grabbed Guan Yu's sleeve and said, "Yun Chang, are you going to leave me?"

Guan Yu shook his head slightly, "We three brothers made an oath that day to stay with each other in life and death and never abandon it. Guan Yu will not break his promise. I just went to Hanzhong to garrison. The third brother will stay with the eldest brother. The battle situation in Jingzhou will depend on the eldest brother." Make the decision.”

Liu Bei thought for a while, and since Guan Yu was unwilling to fight side by side with the Yousi people, it would be a good idea to let him garrison Hanzhong to avoid civil strife together.

"That being the case, then go ahead, Chief Yun. When you get to Yangping Pass, focus on holding on and don't let your emotions get the better of you."

After saying that, he said sternly to Guan Yu: "Don't worry, second brother, I will take the opportunity to beat Bishop Yousi about Yazhou's invasion of land. Regardless of whether they did it or not, I have to make them restrain themselves."

After Guan Yu left, Bishop Yousi Shiran entered the side hall again.

With a faint smile on his face, he said, "Although General Guan Er has a hot temper, his brotherly love for His Majesty is really enviable."

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Let's get this over with. I have ordered Yunchang to lead troops to garrison Hanzhong. Now Liu Xuan's army is approaching. The defense of Jingzhou requires the participation of you warriors from the Yousi tribe."

"That's natural," the bishop said. "Liu Xuan dared to kill Moss in front of His Majesty. He has already formed a deadly feud with us Yousi people. If Liu Xuan is allowed to invade Jingzhou, I'm afraid we Yousi people will be forced to be displaced again." .”

"So this battle is not only His Majesty's battle to protect the country, but also our Yousi people's battle for survival."

"Our warriors from the Yousi Tribe are ready for battle."

Liu Xuan was overjoyed and said: "Okay, then I will use you as my military advisor to lead the war in Jingzhou."

. . .

Above the river, an endless fleet of ships is heading towards Jingzhou in a mighty way.

Liu Xuan's battle against Jingzhou, with Zhuge Liang as his military advisor, divided his troops into three groups.

Among them, the northern route was dominated by Qiang and Hu cavalry and heavy infantry from Chilechuan, passing through Tianshui, Liangzhou and going straight to Yangping Pass.

The strategic intention is to invade Hanzhong, take Yizhou directly, and block Liu Bei's backup support.

The middle route is the main force, starting from Yuzhou and going straight to Nanyang and Xinye, aiming to sweep the area north of the river in northern Jingzhou.

On the south route, the main force of the naval force marched westward along the river. After reaching Poyang Lake, they divided their forces to attack Jiangxia County and Yuzhang County.

This fleet is the main force of Liu Xuan's navy.

Although the most powerful warship, the Poyang, has evolved to the frigate level and is too big to enter the river, the rest of the warships were built by Guangling Shipyard, and their power systems are mature steam engines.

The firepower system is equipped with a powerful crossbow and a fire crossbow that launches rockets.
The ship types also range from building ships, fighting ships, to warships, red horses and other warships.

Sun Quan stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the Jingzhou fleet approaching slowly, and slowly raised the flag in his hand.

"Array, attack array."

"Target, Jingzhou fleet, all destroyed." (End of chapter)
