In the winter of the fourth year of Jian'an, the surging situation quietly quieted down again. This year, Cao Cao and Wu Shun benefited from it. Cao Cao forced himself to fight Zhang Xiu south with the pressure of Yuan Shao, and returned to the army and destroyed Lu Bu.

Now Cao Cao Group can finally devote itself to dealing with the difficult thing about Yuan Shao going south.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao chose to hold on while Cao Cao was using troops and missed the opportunity to fight in vain. Now this is when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, so he cannot use troops at all.

The most comfortable life was Wu Shun. Liu Biao wanted to get back the face he lost after losing Huang Zhong, but in the end he lost Yidu County. The combat effectiveness shown by the Wuling Army made Liu Biao have no intention of retrieving Yidu County.

Yidu County, Zigui City.

Dongfang Qiang received the order of transfer and was about to leave. Huang Quan, Zhao Yun and others went out of the city to see him off.

"It's just going to guard Yidao County, there's no need to do this, right?"

Looking at the few people who were not very interested, Dongfang Qiang spoke.

Yidao County is not too far from Zigui. Huang Quan and Zhao Yun's expressions are like Dongfang Qiang is going to travel far.

"I originally wanted to ask General Dongfang for more information on military tactics. Unfortunately, the general was going to guard Yidao County."

Dongfang Qiang, Huang Quan, Zhao Yun and others were not familiar with each other, but after this period of contact, they were all moved by the other party's skills and mind.

"When you have time, Lord Huang can come to Yidao County to take a look. Isn't that also your jurisdiction?"

Dongfang Qiang smiled.

Huang Quan was obviously both civil and military, but Wu Shun arranged an official position as the prefect. He did not allocate the army, so he was obviously busy with civil servants. However, this cannot be blamed for Wu Shun, as there are too few talents in Yizhou who can govern the government.

To govern a county, you don’t need to be very capable. However, if you are in charge of the government affairs of a county, you need talents.

Because Huang Quan understood military tactics and could lead troops, Wu Shun arranged him to Yidu County. If there was another war, Huang Quan could still wait for help.

"General Dongfang, take care of yourself!"

Zhao Yun didn't talk much, but when Dongfang Qiang left, he clasped his fists and said.

"Haha, Zilong, I'll leave the safety of Zigui to you. Don't let people down the Qilin Legion."

Dongfang Qiang smiled.

"Don't worry, with the Qilin Army here, Zigui Dang is safe."

Zhao Yun assured Dongfangqiang.

Although the Kirin Legion is not good at defense, they are elites. Since they can be called elites, things they are not good at do not mean they can't do.

"I hope Liu Biao can be more at peace, otherwise this battle will still have to be fought."

After the Suzaku Legion left, Huang Quan sighed. If Liu Biao was unwilling to fail, Yidu County would definitely be trapped in war.

Huang Quan knew very well that Wu Shun emphasized Dongfang to Yidao County in order to suppress Liu Biao.

"I often hear that Liu Biao is a dog guarding the household, so I am afraid he will not dare to use troops to our Yizhou again."

Zhao Yun's idea was very simple. Liu Biao lost a county if he was dissatisfied. He probably wouldn't want to lose a second one.

...

When the Suzaku Legion entered Yidao County, Liu Biao did not respond. Even the Jingzhou Navy, which had been circulating on the Yuan River for many years, had fewer actions recently.

Without disturbance from the outside world, the navy's dock began to build after the craftsmen were in place.

In order to speed up the progress, Ganning used the navy as migrant workers. The soldiers not only had no objections but were busy.

The days when they were used as infantrymen were the ones that their navy was most disgusted with. With the dock, they could build warships. With the warships, they were the real navy.

In order to come and go freely on the Yuan River again and to seek revenge on the Jingzhou naval army, the navy soldiers worked overtime day and night, not afraid of the cold, and wanted to build the dock as soon as possible.

This winter, there is no more war. People who are worried for a year can finally slowly tighten their nerves and prepare to celebrate the New Year happily.

The princes maintained great restraint for various reasons and had no friction at all. The Battle of Guandu, which should have happened in June, did not start a series of actions in Yizhou.

Even if the two sides of the Yellow River are already tense!

As the end of the year approaches, the princes also want to celebrate the New Year safely, so as if they had made an appointment, no one had any radical actions.

Chengdu, General's Mansion in the West.

Diao Chan and Cai Yan, two beauties, one big and one little, are directing their servants to decorate the mansion. A big red cloth belt is hung here and a big red lantern is hung there.

After some busyness, the entire General's Mansion has less solemnity and more festive festive celebration.

"Xiu'er, Wen Ji, do you want to play two games together?"

Tian Qian'er walked out of the inner room and caught two beauties and refused to let go.

"Sister, we have no money..."

Cai Yan rubbed the corner of her clothes and refused timidly. She was a weak woman, so how dare she "offend" a female general like Tian Qian'er.

"I'll just lend it to you. I'll just go around and go, and I'll be idle. If I don't play mahjong with both hands, I feel uncomfortable all over."

Tian Qian'er pulled the two of them into the house. She happened to be seen by Wu Shun who was passing by.

Cai Yan was almost tired of being in the General's Mansion all day long, saying that she liked Xiao Wu Hao and wanted to take Wu Hao to play, but anyone with discerning eyes knew that that was just an excuse Cai Yan found to run to the General's Mansion to facilitate her.

"Qian'er, what are you doing?"

The three women pulled and pulled, and two of them looked unhappy.

"Husband. It's okay, go and do it."

Tian Qian'er knew that Wu Shun had to go to the Weapons workshop to study warships every day, so she didn't even raise her head.

"Bad guy, my sister wants to play mahjong, do you care?"

Seeing that Wu Shun had no intention of interfering, Cai Yan quit. He directly called Wu Shun who was about to take steps.

"Hmm? Isn't it fun to play mahjong? Why don't you two like it?"

Wu Shun asked with this head. Don’t this little girl likes to play mahjong very much?

"Has something happened recently?"

Wu Shun was secretly surprised.

"It's not fun. My sister won over all her money and won over her hairpin."

Cai Yan was crying.

"Is Qian'er winning your money in playing mahjong? And her hairpin?"

Wu Shun asked.

"Husband, it's not fun to play mahjong without adding a lottery, so..."

"So you won both of them? Haha, Qian'er, you are really amazing!"

Wu Shun smiled.

"Hmph, bad guy! Ignore you. Sister Xiu'er, let's go!"

Seeing Wu Shun facing Tian Qian'er, Cai Yan pulled Diao Chan angrily and was about to go out. But Wu Shun stopped him first.

"How much did you lose? I can lend it to you and you can win it back."

Wu Shun looked at Cai Yan and thought that the little girl was angry and looked particularly fun.

"I have lost fifty taels!"

Cai Yan said loudly:

"Sister Xiu'er lost more."

Diao Chan lost a lot and didn't say anything. Wu Shun couldn't help but look at this peerless beauty.

"Xiu'er, you lost too?"

"Yeah, I lost a little."

"How much is a little bit?"

"Eighty stakes..."

Under Wu Shun's stare, Diao Chan's voice was weak and mosquitoes and flies. Every time she faced Wu Shun, Diao Chan was very unnatural.

The servants of the General's Mansion admitted in their heart that this beautiful woman was one of their mistresses, and Diao Chan himself did not reject a single title.

But Wu Shun just didn't explain it clearly, and his vague feeling made people unable to catch it even if they wanted to.

"Sir, aren't you going out? Go quickly, we're going to play mahjong."

After being stared by Wu Shun for a long time, Diao Chan didn't know where to put her hands. She could only say something and let Wu Shun leave quickly.

"Then you go and play, give it, take it."

Wu Shun did want to go to the Weapons, so he no longer delayed it. He handed Diao Chan a purse and left.

"Sister, do I want me to ask my sister to tell you about it? I can't even bear it."

Tian Qian'er patted Diao Chan, who was distracted and suggested.
